The early morning in summer is not very cold, but it is still refreshing.
"call!"
"suck!"
There seems to be a strong wind blowing, and from time to time there is a sound like the surging sea tide.
On a barren mountain one hundred and twenty miles north of the northwest city, there was a bonfire swaying and Taoist Yunni sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The air currents visible to the naked eye kept converging and circling around it, causing the bonfire to sway and also blowing the robes of Zhao Xuan, the protector on the side.
He looked solemn and highly concentrated, refusing to let go of the slightest fluctuation.
In his perception, the air flow on the barren mountain at this moment was chaotic and disorderly, but the overall environment was orderly.
The whistling air, the flickering candlelight, and even the darkness before dawn all echo each other with my teacher as the center.
Suddenly, his teacher was the center of the world, and when he closed his eyes, he could not sense his existence at all.
Even the sound of his breathing is enough to move the tide.
This is,
"Heaven and man are one..."
Zhao Xuanyi murmured in his heart, surging with envy and desire.
In the nearly forty long years since he penetrated the profound entrance and was promoted to Grand Master, he has only inadvertently entered the state of 'harmony between man and nature' once.
And extremely short-lived.
I don't know how far away I am from my teacher's state of "union between man and nature" anytime and anywhere.
"call!"
The scorching air wave shot out several feet like an arrow, splitting the air flow and night light. Taoist Yunni slowly opened his eyes, but his brows were deeply furrowed.
"Martial Saint, how difficult it is!"
Taoist Yunni let out a long sigh, his face looking half dry and half bright.
Compared with the smoothness of the four steps to becoming an immortal, the last step of martial arts took him nearly a year...
"teacher?"
Zhao Xuan bowed.
"Spiritual energy is hard to capture."
Taoist Yunni shook his head.
The achievements of the Shidu Immortals were of no help to the promotion to the Martial Saint, at least, that's what he thought.
"Teacher, is this spirit so hard to capture?"
Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but frown, feeling worried: "You were already able to enter the unity of heaven and man fifty years ago..."
He didn't have the opportunity to recognize the master's path, and martial arts was his only path. Seeing the teacher's difficulties really made him feel sad.
"The unity of heaven and man does not mean that we can definitely capture spiritual energy. There are too few spiritual energy between heaven and earth..."
Yunni took a deep breath and suppressed his slight frustration.
In fact, he could only capture Lingqi two or three times a month, but this was already a hundred times faster than the warriors of ancient times.
"Can we just wait for the weather to change?"
Zhao Xuanyi also sighed.
Like their own teachers, Ling Qi is the last hurdle that restricts them from entering the gate of martial arts.
In fact, there are definitely not a few people in the world who are trapped in front of this gate.
"Other than that, there is no other way. Fortunately, that day should not be far away..."
After putting out the bonfire, Taoist Yunni took out the dry food and chewed it carefully.
"I just hope that day comes soon..."
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head helplessly, took out the dry food and chewed it against the extinguished campfire.
When the disciples on duty in the distance saw this, they all sat on the ground and began to swallow their dry food. Many of them looked sad.
Not counting the more than a year in the Dayan Mountains, they have been eating dry food for more than half a year. No matter how hard they choose, they still find it hard to swallow.
"Master, how long do we have to wait?"
Finally, a young Taoist couldn't help but stand up and look at his teacher.
"If I ask you to wait, just wait."
Zhao Xuan glared and scolded.
"But if we keep waiting like this, when will it be over?"
The Taoist couldn't bear it anymore. Coming from a big family, he couldn't bear it:
"I said half a year at the earliest, and two months later. These don't count. We followed the old Taoist Zhenyan and wandered in this wasteland for almost four months, right?!"
Someone stepped forward, and the other disciples couldn't help it.
There are few disciples of Fu Shui Guan who are poor, and most of them are direct disciples of large families in Shendu, and many are even qualified to succeed the family head.
They can endure the temporary pain, but it is completely useless and the endless waiting is really unbearable for them.
Those who carry wanted warrants are happy in the city, while they have to blow the cold wind in the wilderness and eat dry food...
"Be bold!"
Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows and was about to scold him when he was stopped by Taoist Yunni. He looked blankly at the disciples. Wherever he looked, everyone bowed their heads.
"It won't be long."
He stood up slowly and looked at the city shrouded in night, which looked like a giant beast lying on the ground. Doubt flashed in Taoist Yunni's eyes.
His eyesight is unmistakable.
The Taoist man of truth, whose oil has run out, should have died many days ago, but somehow he prolongs his life.
But his injuries cannot be saved by human power. What is there in this northwest road...
"get out."
Zhao Xuan was still angry, and with a flick of his sleeves, he swept away the useless disciples.
All the disciples were in a state of embarrassment, but they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned, and turned and left one after another.
"Such an honorable descendant has no share of the responsibilities. It's a pity that their ancestors were also heroes for a while, but they only have these wine bags and rice bags..."
Zhao Xuan shook his head:
"Teacher, you shouldn't have brought them here this time. They are unworthy of training and cannot inherit the mantle of our Fu Shui Temple..."
"There are a lot of mediocre people in this world, and Fu Shui Guan doesn't need many talented people. It's enough for the next generation to have Miaomiao as a genius."
Taoist Yunni said, his heart moved, and he looked towards the bright night sky:
"Nie Longtian's place of retreat is at the 'Bishui Hantan' on Ding'an Road. Counting the time, he should be arriving..."
Phew~
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a golden thread seemed to be pulled out from the very far horizon, coming at a very fast speed.
"The Golden Eagle King with six doors!"
Zhao Xuanyi said, his heart moved, he looked to the north, and saw a golden eagle king coming from the north.
This one belongs to Jin Yiwei.
These two families actually came together?!
"Li Baihu's aura is becoming more and more powerful. However, he still seems to have not completed the ritual..."
Sensing it from afar, Taoist Yunni's eyes flashed with brilliance.
A land of a hundred miles is nothing to the Golden Eagle King. Even without using full speed, he was already approaching very quickly.
stop!
Accompanied by a sharp howl of air, an extra person appeared on the top of the barren mountain.
This is a big man with a height of about nine feet, wearing a short martial arts robe, with a rough face and a voice as loud as a bell:
"Ms. Ganlin! After flying for more than two months, a bird came out of my mouth! Does the little miscellaneous surnamed Zhao have any meat?"
Little, little miscellaneous hair...
Even though he had expected this person's behavior, Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that his beard trembled and he turned around with a puff of sleeves:
"No!"
"Brother Nie, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still don't change your bastard habits. You have a pure heart!"
Yunni frowned, his attitude was very cold.
"I haven't seen you for thirty years, and you're still stuck in front of the door. Hahaha, a weakling like you shouldn't practice martial arts!"
Nie Longtian's mouth was naturally much more venomous than Yunni's. One sentence made the latter's brows rise.
"Why don't you two have a fight and decide the winner?"
A cold voice came in, and Li Baihu jumped off the eagle's back and landed on the top of the opposite mountain. He held his hands in the distance, but there was no enthusiasm.
"Master Li is so close, but he comes so slowly. Could it be that he is afraid of fighting?"
Nie Longtian's words were still rude, but they were much gentler than those of Taoist Yunni.
"Who is afraid of war? Do you still need to ask? More than a year ago, His Majesty issued an imperial edict to clear the northwest road and capture the True Word Taoist!"
Li Baihu didn't care at all about the faces of the two big figures on the Splendid List opposite him, and sneered.
Temples are not rivers and lakes.
The two people in front of him are certainly better than him in martial arts, but when it comes to status, he is not inferior.
"Li Baihu, you are so brave!"
Taoist Yunni's expression remained unchanged, but Zhao Xuanyi became furious and yelled:
"How dare you insult my teacher?!"
"Oh? Where did Li insult him?"
Li Baihu asked with a sneer.
"you……"
Zhao Xuan wanted to refute, but as soon as his mind changed, he was speechless.
The teacher seems really...
"Can't tell?"
Li Baihu shook his head and was about to speak when his heart suddenly jumped.
On the opposite mountain top, two powerful auras had already risen, like straight wolf smoke rising ten feet high.
Everyone looked at the city in the distance, more than a hundred miles away, and seemed to feel a bone-chilling chill.
"Such a strong murderous intention..."
The tension among the three parties was disrupted by this sudden murderous intent.
Li Baihu subconsciously held down the steel knife, while on the opposite mountain, Taoist Yunni robe hunted, and a faint light shone between his five fingers.
"Does this old guy still want to kill you and me?"
Nie Longtian touched his chin and looked at Taoist Yunni with a rare serious expression:
"Old bastard, let's talk about it. I'll leave the boss in the city to you, and leave everyone else to me. How about that?"
how?
The corner of Taoist Yunni's mouth twitched: "Brother Nie is one of the greatest masters in the world. He is just a bit of a fish, but why is it worth your while?
How about changing it?"
The two looked at each other with sneers in their hearts.
Who are the true preachers, if they don’t know?
If such a person does not die, who would dare to force him? The dying beast is the most dangerous.
"Are you two so afraid of a dying old Taoist?"
Seeing the two people blaming each other, Li Baihu was so disappointed that he didn't even have the intention to ridicule him. He turned around and walked towards the northwest city where the city gate opened after daylight.
A red sun rises from the east, and golden light falls on the earth.
Li Baihu felt a little sad in his heart. The two beings relied on by the imperial court to serve as Qiancheng were both unreliable. Is it true that this Ming Dynasty...
"Li Baihu..."
On the top of the mountain, Taoist Yunni narrowed his eyes slightly, and he faintly felt a familiar atmosphere. This was the atmosphere of the ceremony...
Is this ‘violent tiger’ at the critical moment of a breakthrough?
Yun Ni felt something in his heart, and Nie Longtian also noticed it. He held his left arm with his right hand and touched his chin with his left hand, feeling a little curious:
"What is this tiger's ritual?"
Li Baihu's martial arts skills were not as good as theirs, but his status in the court was actually extremely high.
This is related to the person's rank.
The Violent Tiger is extremely rare, the ultimate level diagram...
"With this tiger's martial arts, it's enough to force him to speak the truth..."
As soon as an idea came to his mind, Taoist Yun Ni suddenly frowned and saw a white light shining on Nie Longtian's waist.
Round light mirror?
Nie Longtian picked up the mirror with an impatient expression. Before he could get started, an urgent voice came from the other side:
"Sir, a martial saint-level battle broke out in Lihua Mountain in Lizhou, northwest of the country, and a great demon is suspected to be born..."
"Big demon?"
Hearing this, both of them frowned, and Nie Longtian was a little impatient:
"Then what?"
Just listen to the voice in the circular light mirror:
"...The one who fought against that big demon was the old demon from Montenegro, and he was injured!"
"What?!"
