Wuyun Shangzong, no matter how big or small, was famous for being strict, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was strict.
For external disciples like Shen Ning who were picked from a "small place" and failed to join the inner sect, returning home is simply a fantasy, and even exchanging letters is a luxury.
Therefore, Shen Ning has been away for more than three years and has not sent a letter to her home so far. Shen Qing believes that it is not that she doesn't want to, but that she has written countless letters and cannot get them back.
But at this moment, seeing him here actually made me excited, so I guess there is no need to say more.
"Brother, how are you doing lately?"
Shen Qing was only fourteen years old when she was taken away by the wandering monks of the Wuyun Sect. The little girl was still in the final stage of pink carving and jade carving. Now more than three years have passed by and the little girl has grown into a big girl. Exquisite and graceful, the beauty is beyond compare.
"Ah Ning, have you suffered a lot these past few years?"
Shen Qing stepped forward and looked at his sister carefully. He could imagine how much more hardship and grievance his sister would have to endure than being a well-behaved Xiaojiabiyu at home in such an environment of survival of the fittest and extremely fierce competition.
"No, brother, look, I'm fine now." Shen Ning put her little hands behind her back and deliberately acted calmly.
Because it was an illusion condensed in his mind, and Shen Qing was always worried about his sister suffering, so when Shen Ning finished speaking, he suddenly found that the other party's expression seemed to be hiding something.
"A Ning, is it true that no one bullies you?"
"Really not, brother, what has been going on at home these past few years? I am simply isolated from the world in the sect, and I can't even get the slightest bit of news."
"We often write letters to you. Except for this year's troubled times, we write one almost every month." Shen Qing said in surprise.
Hearing this, Shen Ning sighed softly, which meant it was self-evident.
Shen Qing also sighed. It seemed that the sect that Aning belonged to not only did not allow disciples to write letters home, but also would not put in any letters written from home.
Maybe he neglected his practice because he was afraid that his disciples would be worried about their family affairs. Also, if you want to become a master, you have to experience all the sufferings that are unnecessary.
Of course, everything in front of her is just a fantasy, but the real fact is indeed the case. In Shen Ning's residence in the sect, there are at least a hundred letters gathering dust, all of which were written in the first two years after she entered the sect. , but even today I haven’t been able to send one away.
And what Shen Qing wrote in the past has naturally turned into ashes and been blown to which mountains and fields by the wind.
"A Ning, why don't you come back? You are just a girl, there is no need to practice Yuandao." Shen Qing said with great distress.
"Brother, I want to become stronger. I don't want to get married and have children as soon as I get old, and I don't want to live the boring life of raising a husband and raising children. I also want to take a walk in this vast and boundless world. !"
Shen Qing was startled. This was indeed in line with A Ning's tomboy-like character. It seemed that she had not changed after so many years.
But Shen Qing still couldn't help but persuaded, "You can do it at home. I have practiced a lot of powerful Yuan skills now. In two years, when I have solved all my worries, I will take you for a walk. The world is so big, what do you think?" We will go wherever we go."
Since childhood, although Shen Qing is not much older than Shen Ning, he has really doted on his sister, while Shen Ning has an extremely strong character and likes to compare with Shen Qing.
Of course, it's not that kind of morbid comparison, but she never thinks that women are inferior to men in all aspects, and she never regards herself as a girl when she should endure hardship.
"Brother, what have you practiced? Tell me about it?"
Because Bai Fengsu could rely on spells to guide Shen Qing's illusions, Shen Ning asked a question that was inconsistent with her personality.
If it was really Shen Ning, she would definitely pretend to be not surprised when she heard this sentence, instead of being full of greed and desire like Bai Fengsu's imagination.
She always felt that Shen Qing still had secrets that she had not discovered yet.
However, it must be admitted that Shen Qing was trapped in imagination, hallucinations, and sluggish thinking. Even if his sister had such an obvious abnormality, he still could not detect it, so he used the Yuan skills that he had previously revealed to "Duan Tianwei" again. Repeated.
He never tires of it, and sharing it with his loved ones is a joy in itself.
But Bai Fengsu lost her patience and said that this kid had no value in exploring. In the end, all he had to do was seal his soul and transfer his Dantian vitality to make full use of it.
As a result, the scene in front of Shen Qing gradually distorted and changed. His beautiful and refined sister Shen Ning turned into fluorescent light in the blink of an eye. And before he could reach out to stop her, the fluorescent light turned into white mist and gradually condensed into another picture. face.
There was only one face with a creepy smile.
"It's you?!"
Shen Qing was shocked, looking at the face of the demon girl in front of him who had clearly been killed by him, and felt extremely horrified.
"Keke, it's me, my good brother, you really have a lot of blessings!"
That huge and ethereal face was like a ghost's face, floating in front of Shen Qing's eyes. He opened his bloodless lips and revealed a charming smile.
"Where's my sister! Where's Senior Duan and Yu Yao!"
With such a strange and confusing situation, Shen Qing was naturally unable to react immediately. He shouted at the witch's face, but he didn't know that this face was just an illusion.
The real Bai Fengsu is still standing behind the mirror stone, mumbling words.
"They? Of course they are in my belly. I ate their flesh, drank their blood, peeled off their skin and rotted their bones. What, what can you do to me?"
After saying that, the huge ghost face laughed strangely.
The sound of the tooth crown due to tension was clearly audible, and the nails on the five fingers, which were not sharp, were deeply embedded in the flesh due to excessive force. Guessing, Shen Qing seemed to have really seen the bloody and cruel scene, which he respected and respected. The people you love are destroyed one by one in mourning.
"I kill you!!"
Shen Qing raised his sword and stabbed directly at the giant ghost face.
Buzz!
The sword light and the figure disappeared at the same time, and the top of the stone peak, which was no more than ten feet in diameter, fell into silence for an instant.
It was empty, except for Bai Fengsu's extremely satisfied ugly smile, and the ordinary mirrored stone, which seemed to have never released its special power.
"Someone, bring this mirror stone to my room."
After Bai Fengsu recited the mantra, the mirror stone no longer reflected light and completely turned into a "normal" stone.
Several disciples quickly stepped forward and moved the mirror stone down.
...
The world around us is not vast and empty, but is filled with countless scenes that change without interruption.
Shen Qing didn't know where he was, let alone what he had experienced. He could only look at everything in front of him blankly and angrily.
At this moment, the streets were busy with traffic.
The next moment, there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains and old forests.
It's another moment, a palace with red lacquered columns and a wealthy family. In short, every time you pass by, the scene will be different.
But the same thing is that in every scene there is a protagonist, tall or short, fat or thin, and everyone is roaring angrily, as if they are crazy, trying hard to tear apart the invisible constraints of space, but they are unable to do so.
It can't be done no matter what.
It was only then that Shen Qing discovered that he himself was also in this kind of bondage. The scene around him was the family garden when he was on Qinglu Road, and it was still the same as he remembered it when he was a few years old.
"What on earth is going on?"
He was extremely surprised. At this moment, he could use a metaphor to describe the current situation of those trapped in the mirror stone——
That is, in a huge bubble, there are countless small bubbles, and these people are imprisoned in small bubbles. They can see each other, but cannot hear a single sound.
The "bubble" passing by is the only intersection between two souls.
That's right, like Shen Qing, these people are all souls sealed by the mirror stone, and the environment around them is just the scene they miss most.
Shen Qing would definitely not be able to figure out such a weird mystery, but he knew that if he was trapped here forever, he would end up like everyone he could see before him, falling into madness and surliness, not like humans or ghosts.
Like a ghost!
Whoosh!
The long sword struck fiercely, and even I didn't know where to strike. Maybe it was towards anger. In short, the sword passed through the air with a shocking sound, but it disappeared into silence in the distance of Xumi.
No effect or feedback at all...
But in the real world, inside Bai Fengsu's cave, the demon girl's five fingers formed into claws and she waved at the mirror stone repeatedly. The vital energy spread out and was eventually absorbed into her body.
Shen Qing, as well as other people, every time they are angry, they will inevitably consume a certain amount of energy, and these energy will be "picked up" by Bai Fengsu. Although the accumulation process is very slow, it is undeniable that the future is long.
Sooner or later, she will be able to use everyone's vitality for her own use. At that time, she will no longer be just an evil demon who dominates the dangerous shoals.
"Mirror Stone, Mirror Stone, if you could speak, you could make it clear to your devout followers what kind of shocking secrets there are between the Spiritual Dao and the Yuan Dao."
Bai Fengsu muttered to herself, but her face was indeed pious. It could be said that she regarded this mirror stone as a belief.
And the question she asked does indeed exist. There has been no difference between Yuan Dao and Ling Dao since ancient times. The two have the same origin and sect, but as time has changed, the gaps between their factions have gradually emerged. As time goes by,
It has now become a completely different genre.
But in fact, there is some inevitable connection between the two. There was even a legend in the world that the pinnacle of the Yuan Dao is to transform the element into spirit, and the pinnacle of the Spiritual Dao is also the transformation of spiritual power into the element.
Just like the strange scene in the mirror stone, Shen Qing and others were clearly trapped in the soul, but they were able to create real soul through imagination, and then it was absorbed by Bai Fengsu. The mysterious and mysterious thing is that the top powerful person in the world
Or, it may not be possible to explain clearly.
Once it is explained clearly, it must be not very far away from the real spiritual ascension, right?
Bai Fengsu is dreaming of such a big spring and autumn dream...
