In the huge dark space, a ball of white light emitted by the "Dancing Light Technique" is suspended in mid-air, illuminating the surrounding space. Here is a long passage, two stories high from the top, as wide as many
The lanes and roads were deserted and silent.
On the majestic and tall walls on both sides, there are pictures made of things similar to mosaic tiles. Red, orange and yellow are used to represent the radiating sun, blue and white are used to represent the rough ocean, or steady black and brown tiles are used to depict tall mountains.
.
Xuan Weizi's fingertips lightly traced the pictures on the wall. Even after countless years, the walls were still as clean as new and spotless. It seemed that the entire holy land ruins were filled with strange magical energy, keeping the environment here at a certain level.
At this point in time, the things inside never decay or become old.
"What a special environment. Time and space seem to be stagnant, but there is movement within the stillness, but it is not simply moving with things."
Xuan Weizi was surprised. He had only experienced similar situations while practicing meditation, and it was difficult to imagine the same situation in the external environment.
"I... don't feel well." Rosalian communicated with Xuan Weizi: "I feel so noisy, it seems like tinnitus."
Xuan Weizi said: "The walls and floors here seem to absorb echoes. My voice should be strange to you now, right?"
Rosalin was a little depressed and replied: "Yes, I seem to be able to feel the blood flowing in my body, and the sound of joints making every step I take makes my head almost burst."
"Very good, you are starting to get some tips, although you have learned them with the help of the environment here." Xuan Weizi continued to communicate through the spiritual link: "Originally, 'Cunsi Five Qi' has a process of 'internal movement'
, right now it is just some scratching of the movement of qi and blood, but later when the vitality of the internal organs is activated, the situation will be more obvious and more intense."
"Wait! Won't you help me? I feel like I can't hold on for long!" Rosaleen shouted.
"I have some methods, but they are all guidance techniques suitable for the human body structure." Xuan Weizi was really confused for a moment.
After all, those who are new to Taoism will inevitably experience this kind of "internal movement" when they first learn to sit still and meditate. In fact, when they first learn to let go of some of their feelings about external perceptions, they will gradually experience the flow of qi and blood from within the body.
In fact, these are only very superficial physiological activity phenomena, and they are far from being an introduction.
While Xuan Weizi was observing the pictures on the wall, he took out a small notebook and charcoal sketch, and explained to Rosalian:
"According to different people's situations, 'inner movement' can be strong or weak. Generally, the best situation is to turn a blind eye or not hear it, because 'inner movement' itself is not what practitioners should pursue. Through 'inner movement', we can observe deeper levels.
Physiological activity phenomenon, that is the key point.
However, if the phenomenon of 'internal movement' is really too intense and reaches the point where there is no peace, movement exercises such as Daoyin Technique will generally be used to re-regulate physiological activities through long-term habits and exercises. This process is also called
'Adjust the body'. Through 'adjustment of the body' to 'adjust the breath', and finally achieve 'adjustment of the mind'. In fact, we still need to better observe the phenomenon of physiological activities."
"Didn't you say that Guidance Technique is only suitable for the human body structure? Then what else can you do?" Rosalin asked somewhat urgently.
"Don't be anxious, the more times like this, the more time you have to test and improve your kung fu." Xuan Weizi chuckled and said: "You hold on a little longer, wait until I finish drawing these... Interesting and interesting, it turns out to be an ancient
The magic circle."
Xuan Weizi was very interested in this situation of stasis of time and space. He had previously guessed that this could not be achieved by a simple spell. Now he traced the wall pattern and after some careful consideration, he suddenly realized it.
The magic circle is actually a compound spell that, through precise weaving and guidance, forms long-lasting and diverse magic effects. A magic circle can basically achieve a variety of spell effects at the same time, but its subtlety is definitely not a simple line drawing, but
It is necessary to combine different special materials to retain the magic effect and make it spread slowly instead of taking effect temporarily.
As far as Xuan Weizi knows, magic circle is a very advanced skill, but it also consumes a lot of money and has high cost. Because the magic nodes everywhere need regular maintenance to achieve balanced operation, otherwise once the balance is imbalanced, the magic energy contained in it will be lost.
When the madness is released, the death formation will be destroyed easily. No one can fully grasp what will happen when various magical effects are mixed.
There are also formations in Taoism, and there are many types. The upper part refers to the stars, sun and moon, astronomical climate, the middle part combines yin and yang and the five elements, the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and the lower part performs Feng Shui, mountains and rivers, and is closely related to Qimen Dunjia and magic deduction.
Even though Xuan Weizi had a high level of cultivation in his previous life, he still did not understand the mysteries of Taoist formations.
Moreover, the above are only the environment and power that the formation relies on to build the formation. The functions of the Taoist formation are also endless. For Taoist monks, guarding the cave and avoiding people are just trivial uses. Speaking more broadly, the Qimen formation
It can be used to help govern the country and secure the country, and to organize the army and form formations, just like the Yellow Emperor used Qimen Dunjia to fight Chi You. It is actually used for formations.
"We still have to go deeper. This should only be the outer area of the magic circle. Although we can't see the rules of energy flow, it should still be inside." Xuan Weizi put down the small book and took Rosalian to continue deeper into the holy land.
remains.
After walking a few steps, Xuan Weizi's soul moved and said, "Someone has been here."
Rosaleen replied: "Tu Randi has been here, don't you know?"
"No, someone came here not long ago." Xuan Weizi stood still, facing the darkness at the end of the passage. There was a sound of collision, followed by the sound of fast running footsteps - the former's footsteps were light, but
The breathing was slightly disordered, and the latter's steps were heavy, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing against armor, but there was no sound of breathing.
Xuan Weizi was secretly suspicious, activated his divine energy, prepared his psychic powers, and saw the person running into the lighting range of the dancing light technique. A brown-skinned woman with long braided hair was none other than Sandori.
"Why is it you?!" Sandoli just ran away and finally saw the light in front of her. She thought the door was open. When she saw clearly that it was Xuan Weizi, her face suddenly became horrified and she stopped suddenly.
Xuan Weizi didn't say anything. He turned his eyes and saw a humanoid figure chasing after Sandori. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be a plate-armored warrior holding a sword and shield!
But this plate-armored warrior made a "clang-clang" sound in his footsteps, as if the inside of the plate armor was hollow. If you look closely, you will see dark red magic energy emanating from the gaps in the helmet, and even the gaps between the shoulders and legs are looming with red light.
"Construct?" Xuan Weizi was surprised and happy when he saw this. This kind of activated object that has a certain ability to move autonomously due to the effectiveness of magic is an incredible magical creation.
"Ms. Rosalin? Is that you?" Sandoli also noticed the black saber-toothed leopard next to Xuan Weizi at this time. However, because she was shrunk by Xuan Weizi, Sandoli was not sure for a moment.
.
Rosalian nodded and then let out a roar as a warning. The construct plate armor warrior slashed at Sandori with a sword. She dodged in panic, breathing heavily and leaning against the wall with her back, holding a short sword in her hand.
The wooden staff looked at the plate-armored warrior, then at Xuan Weizi, and finally at Lady Rosalian who was bound by a rope. Her complex expression was full of despair, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard. She had obviously cried more than once before.
"I beg you, save Sandori first!" Rosalian quickly communicated with Xuan Weizi.
Xuan Weizi glanced at Sandori without saying anything, but the construct warrior missed a single blow and stood up straight, turning his face slightly to face Xuan Weizi, as if he was stunned.
"Oh, coming towards me?" Xuan Weizi did not hesitate, raised his hand and opened his five fingers, and five force field energy missiles shot out from his fingers, shooting towards the construct warrior with bright purple light.
However, the force field energy missile did not cause the expected damage, but was instantly dissolved and dissipated upon contact with the construct warrior!
Xuan Weizi raised his eyebrows. The force field energy missiles were not blocked by the protection. The situation of the spell being dissolved and dissipated reminded him of a possibility——
"Energy immunity?"
Just as the thought stopped, the construct warrior rushed towards Xuan Weizi decisively. The long sword in its hand glowed with dark red energy, which was equivalent to the effect of a demonized weapon. It was full of power and slashed with standard movements.
.
Xuan Weizi retreated, using the "sliding technique" to avoid the attack. At the same time, he raised his hand to cast a flame energy ray, and the orange-red burning flames rushed towards the construct warrior.
Unexpectedly, this energy ray, which is enough to roast a living person's flesh on the spot, is actually melted and dissipated again, and the dark red energy inside the construct warrior becomes more and more powerful, as if part of the magical energy is converted into its mobility.
Already.
"Force fields, flames, I want to see how many other types you are immune to!" Xuan Weizi launched the lightning energy beam, and a green-white light flashed in the dark passage, crackling and sharp, and all the arcs struck the construct warrior.
body, making it unable to move. Strong current flowed on its surface, and was then directed to the ground, where it dissipated without a trace.
"Is this okay?"
The construct warrior was so cold that his whole body was white with frost, his shield was shattered, and he struck the ground with his sword, unable to move.
"It's so difficult." Although Xuan Weizi was not in a tough fight, the construct warrior in front of him was immune to force fields, fire, and lightning at the same time. Only ice could subdue him.
Xuan Weizi immediately stepped forward and used "Starlight Cocoon" to seal the construct warrior. He planned to study the mystery of the construct later, but for now...
"You, you..." Sandoli watched Xuan Weizi easily deal with the construct warrior, and recalled the situation when she fled in embarrassment just now, and once again understood how big the gap between herself and the opponent was.
Before Xuan Weizi could speak, Rosalian stepped forward and stood between the two of them. She persuaded Xuan Weizi, "Can you...can you let Sandori go?"
"Why?" Xuan Weizi did not speak, but communicated spiritually with him.
"Let me beg you." Rosalian was betting in her heart. After getting along with Xuan Weizi during these days, she found that his attitude towards the natives was not as hostile as other colonists, otherwise there would be no need to spare her life, and
He also taught me special skills that he had never heard of before.
Xuan Weizi responded: "You don't seem to be qualified to ask me."
"I know, I just hope you can let Sandori off this time, just this time." Rosaleen was just pleading, with a light whimper coming out of her mouth.
Xuan Weizi was silent for a long time, and there was a solemn silence in the ruins passage. Even each other's heartbeats and breathing became extremely loud.
"I have let her go once." Xuan Weizi said, then sighed and said to Sanduoli: "Did you hear it?"
Rosalian's expression was confused. It turned out that Xuan Weizi had just silently used the "Psychic Link" on Sandoli, and then used himself as the hub to let Sandoli "hear" the conversation between Rosalian and herself.
"Lady Rosalian, I..." Sandori saw Rosalian looking back at her, and then her will relaxed, and she fell to the ground weakly, tears flowing down uncontrollably, as if she could not bear the huge pressure and collapsed.
Usually burst into tears.
Rosaleen hurriedly stepped forward, caressed Sandori with her cheek, and asked, "What happened? Why are you here?"
Sandori cried bitterly and even spoke intermittently. Xuan Weizi stared at the construct warrior and looked up and down, trying to figure out what happened.
After the battle in Chaidui Town, Sandoli returned to the tribal settlement with a few remaining tribesmen. The tragic losses devastated the Banshou tribe. Many tribesmen's fathers, husbands, and brothers died, and even the bodies could not be brought back to the settlement.
.
The Spotted Beast tribe has always required that the souls of the tribesmen should be merged with the giant spirits after death, and the corpses should be disposed of properly. Otherwise, it will be a blasphemy to the tradition and an evil act that will lead to the decline of the tribe.
The duty of the totem guardian in the tribe is to manage the life and death matters of the tribe. This time Sandoli led many tribesmen to attack Chaidui Town. Not only was it unsuccessful, but it also seriously damaged the tradition, let alone farming and hunting in the coming year.
A large number of the strong laborers needed to survive died. Under these multiple blows, the tribe began to question Sandori.
Many tribesmen blamed Sanduoli for the failure of the attack on Chaidui Town, saying that in order to avenge Tu Randi, she did not hesitate to bury hundreds of young people in the tribe. Some even said that Sanduoli did this to eliminate dissidents and let others
Those guards who might have become the guardians of the totem died at the hands of the invaders.
In short, rumors spread all over the place for a while, but Shanduli couldn't defend herself, because she knew that the attack on Chaidui Town was indeed caused by her being overwhelmed by hatred. But now she understands, it's too late. No matter how regretful she is, it's all gone
It cannot be undone.
Finally, the tribe's resentment towards Sanduoli broke out uncontrollably. First, they killed her horse Magang, and then someone burned down the hut where Sanduoli lived at night. If Sanduoli hadn't been protected by magic, she could have escaped in time.
, I am afraid that he has died at the hands of his own race.
Even so, Sandoli still did not leave the Spotted Beast tribe. However, faced with heavy losses and the colonists' increasing pressure, some people from the Spotted Beast tribe proposed to move away and flee to the south to seek asylum from other tribes.
And the reason is very good - Tu Randi has proposed in the past that if they cannot resist the invasion of colonists, the tribe will migrate.
However, before the Spotted Beast tribe left, someone in the tribe proposed to execute Sandori to appease the resentment of the deceased's relatives. In the end, it was the elders of the tribe who came forward and chose to banish Sandori, thus sparing her life.
