At night, the moon is white and the wind is clear. A cool breeze passed through the forest, and the entire Lingyin Mountain seemed much quieter.
Wei Tao left his residence at the same time and walked along the path in the direction of his daily practice. After crossing a small bamboo forest, he slowly stopped and looked to his side.
A middle-aged man wearing a crown and a green shirt stood quietly by the spring, looking down at the gurgling water.
His clothes look simple and plain, but he has an ethereal temperament. Even though he was standing there, it seemed as if he would rise up on the wind and disappear into the void at the next moment.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, confirming that he had never seen this person in Lingyin Mountain before. The middle-aged man turned around at this moment, with a calm smile on his face.
"I have heard Elder Su's name for a long time, but have never seen him due to personal reasons. Today, I met him by chance on a moonlit night, and I discovered that Elder Su is so young. He is a handsome and upright young man." Wei Tao couldn't help but be startled.
Handsome and tall? Upright is indeed upright. After all, he is now more than two meters tall, or even close to three meters tall. He looks like an iron tower standing there. There really is no one taller than him in the entire Lingyin Mountain.
As for the description of handsome. He raised his hand and touched his golden scalp, and quickly accepted the compliment happily.
Wei Tao cupped his fists with both hands.
"I wonder what I call this senior brother?"
"My surname is Lin, you can call me Senior Brother Lin." The man's eyes were as bright as stars and he looked at him deeply.
"Prince Feng came to me and said that there was a rare talent in this mountain who could be directly given the position of elder. I was still hesitant at that time. It wasn't until I met Junior Brother Su today that I realized that what he said was true." Wei Tao said shyly smiled and said,
"My qualifications are dull and I don't deserve such praise from Senior Brother Lin." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said,
"This is not a compliment, but a fact. Junior Brother Su can defeat Madam Snake at a young age. If he practices hard in the future, he will definitely become the mainstay of our sect." After a pause, he continued,
"The emphasis of our practice is accumulation. We must rely on hard work day after day, year after year, to hone a deeper foundation, so that everything can come quickly and success will come naturally. Therefore, although Junior Brother Su has made early progress The state of mind is very fast, but in the subsequent practice, be sure not to just focus on a quick word, as this will easily lead to an unstable foundation, and will not reach the height that can be achieved by practicing slowly and step by step."
"Besides that, I must emphasize that Junior Brother Su is young and energetic, so he should polish his temperament and build a good relationship with other elders. After all, we are all from the same sect in the mountain, so there should be no more conflicts. Otherwise, if If this continues, you will make more and more enemies in Lingyin Mountain. Even if you are the strongest in the future, you may not be able to gain a foothold in Lingyin Mountain."
"Senior Brother Lin, you are worrying too much. I have always been a humble and kind-hearted person. What I like most is to be alone in peace and quiet. I have never had any thoughts of causing trouble, and I will never have any conflicts with other sect members for no reason." Wei Tao Lowering his eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his face,
"Whoever thinks that I have a bad temper needs to be corrected, but you should reflect on yourself and why you have such unreasonable thoughts." The middle-aged man looked at him deeply and suddenly laughed.
"Then let's do it. There has been some unrest both inside and outside recently. Junior Brother Su should also pay attention. Don't leave the mountain gate casually. Remember to warn you in time if there is any abnormal situation."
"Also, Shanmen will soon organize people to join the Righteous Alliance. With Junior Brother Su's level of strength, he should be selected into it. You can make some preparations in advance. If you need anything, go to Junior Brother Feng and ask him to help you. solve."
"Will the Righteous Ways form an alliance?" Wei Tao thought thoughtfully.
"That's exactly what I want. I can also meet the spell masters of other sects and see what they can learn from." He watched the middle-aged man go away, and followed his previous plan, heading straight to the inaccessible Lingyin Back Mountain. go.
After a few conversations, Wei Tao roughly guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Regardless of whether the other party is the Lord of Lingyin Mountain or not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain, it doesn't mean much to him.
In Wei Tao's eyes, Lingyin Mountain provided him with what he needed for life and practice, so he reciprocated and contributed some efforts to the mountain gate. The best way to get along is to keep everyone polite and harmonious.
As for becoming a new generation of mountain masters and obtaining the inheritance of spiritual seals and talismans, he has no plans yet and is not prepared to invest any time or energy in this effort.
Therefore, anyone who regards him as an imaginary enemy fighting for power is really blind, and may even lose his life because of it.
In a hidden mountain col. Wei Tao lowered his body, put one hand in front of him, and curled the other hand around his waist, assuming the familiar red line fist stance.
boom! He stepped forward and punched the ground. Practice the red line with bare fists, and make lotus roots with every step. It caused the strong wind to roar, making a sound like thunder.
After the tea time, Wei Tao's body movements changed and he stepped in circles. From practicing two lines bare and growing lotus step by step, to creating something out of nothing and finding peace and prosperity.
In an instant, there was a continuous snapping sound. Another mist quickly filled the air. It quickly filled the entire mountain col and is still spreading towards the surrounding areas.
A looming long snake between reality and reality is located between the mist and flowing clouds, constantly changing with the Wuji Sanshou.
Wei Tao was completely immersed in practice. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly closed his fist. The hands are drawn in the air, bringing out the afterimages.
Suddenly there was a bright light in front of him, and green jade square seals appeared quietly. There are hundreds of them flying whistling around the body.
As time goes by, each sapphire square seal seems to blend into the dull clouds and mists, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other.
After a while, Wei Tao gathered all his spiritual power and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity. All the sapphire square seals gradually turned pale at this moment and dispersed silently.
Quietly, the status bar became void. Wei Tao gathered his energy and focused on the Jade Seal Talisman.
Name: Jade Seal Talisman. Progress: two hundred and twenty. Status: Breaking the limit of twelve stages. Realm: Great Talisman Master.
Description: In mutual confirmation with Jiwu Liuyun, this technique has been evolved and improved.
"Do you want to spend one gold coin to improve the progress of Jade Seal Talisman practice?" A line of golden handwriting appeared in front of his eyes. Wei Tao was silent for a moment and directly chose yes.
Uh-huh! The status bar suddenly disappeared, and a gold coin disappeared. The mysterious aura came silently, and then quickly became turbulent, covering everything from the true spirit to the physical body.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of cyan light, which turned into spiritual power and integrated into the body. Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, carefully comprehending and sensing.
It is clearly visible that the rune patterns light up and merge into the green light little by little. And as this process continues, the mental power is also condensed and strengthened over the next period of time.
The gold coins disappeared one by one, and the jade seal spell increased rapidly. It wasn't until he reached the 30th section where there was no way forward that he finally stopped.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. There was no movement on the hand, and without any warning, nearly a hundred green jade square seals appeared in front of him.
The next moment, he stretched out a finger and just drew casually. In an instant, more than a hundred green seals surrounded him.
"This is the highest level of the Jade Seal Spell."
"That's pretty much it."
"If I want to use the magical talisman from Spirit Seal Mountain, I have to practice the spiritual seal talisman on the jade seal to a perfect level before I have a chance."
"In addition, in order to obtain the qualifications to practice the basic spell of spiritual seal, I have to go through various so-called tests, which is really too troublesome. If I have this time and energy, I might as well practice other spells to improve distraction. Strength, even if we delve deeper into the secrets of the Ji Mist Snake, it will be more attractive than competing for the position of the Lord of the Spirit Seal Mountain." Wei Tao thought silently, a snake tail stretched out behind him, and its gray-white scales shone in the mist. With a faint light.
The snakehead slowly came closer and rubbed his body. Like a very well-behaved pet that wants everything it wants.
He rubbed the cold and refreshing snake scales, looked up at the moonlit night sky with sparse stars, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.
Tanshe Xuan Nian's perception became clearer and clearer. It seems that as long as he is willing, he can take a step forward without any obstacles, complete the interaction between heaven and man, and become a martial arts master.
Moreover, if he interacts with heaven and man here, he will definitely receive greater attention from Tan She Zhenyi, and his gold content will be even higher than that of Grandmaster Wuji in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, Wei Tao was a little hesitant. I haven't made a decision yet whether I should really take this step.
After all, it is easy to move forward, but difficult to go back. It is better to be more conservative to avoid irreversible effects.
Wei Tao was thinking to himself when he suddenly opened his eyes. A look of confusion flashed between his eyebrows, and he looked toward the dark depths outside the valley.
Under the dim night, a figure shrouded in gray robes walked quickly through the mountains like a ghost.
He seemed to be very familiar with this environment. Even with poor visibility, he was familiar with the roads, as if he was strolling in his own living room.
Not long after, the man in gray robe suddenly stopped. He hid behind a tree and listened to the sounds coming along the mountain wind.
There was also extremely thin water mist rising quietly from the source of the sound. Snapped! Bang bang bang! The gray-robed man frowned, and heard the crisp sound that seemed to be the sound of a whip breaking through the air, reaching his ears one after another.
"Forget it, this time I want to determine the location of the spiritual seal talisman. There is no need to add any extraneous details." He thought for a moment, decided to ignore the strange sound and mist, turned around and continued to sneak forward.
But after walking a certain distance. The man in gray robe stopped again. He looked back towards the thickest part of the fog again.
"I always feel like something is not quite right."
"If we don't investigate clearly, I'm afraid I will miss the important event of Your Majesty."
"The master of Lingyin Mountain has not recovered from his serious injury. As long as I am careful and don't get attacked by those elders, there should be no danger." After hesitating for a moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he finally turned around and submerged quietly into the mist. deep.
After a while, the man in gray robe appeared at the entrance of a hidden mountain col. He squinted his eyes, and the bright red lines on his face slowly stretched out, as if petals were blooming.
"Stealth Talisman, Night-Wandering Spirit." The man in gray robe whispered to himself, and strands of spiritual power began to gather, and all of them disappeared into those eyes, shining faintly in the dark mist.
After a while, he closed his eyes, with a puzzled expression on his face that was so pale that it was almost transparent.
"I just sensed some kind of weird aura fluctuation, but when I came here, it disappeared inexplicably?"
"Is there something wrong with my perception?" After thinking silently for a moment, the man in gray robe clung to the rock wall and slowly walked towards the col.
Uh-huh! Swish, swish, swish... At this moment, a seemingly non-existent rustling sound suddenly sounded. The distance is getting closer.
In a blink of an eye, he was already at the side. But at this moment, he disappeared without any warning. The man in gray robe stopped still, held his breath and listened carefully.
The night wind is blowing softly and the white mist is thick. It was quiet all around, except for his heartbeat that could be heard clearly. At this moment, he realized that the surroundings had become dead silent.
Even the night wind that had been blowing seemed to have disappeared without a trace. This strange feeling... as if there is some unspeakable danger hidden in the increasingly dense fog.
"This place can't be haunted."
"Forget it, I'll seize the time to complete the task. Even if there is an abnormal situation, as long as your Majesty takes action, there will be no problem that cannot be solved." The man in gray robe slowly exhaled the turbid breath that he had been holding back for a long time, then turned around little by little, and Get out of here as quickly as possible.
As the body turns, the eyes move accordingly. But the next moment, he suddenly stood still. The hairs all over his body stood up, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his back, and he almost screamed out loud.
"My Gan Linliang, when did this thing come to the back!?"
"Could it be that Mrs. Snake is back? I was so shocked that my heart almost jumped out of my chest." The man in gray robe stared at the huge snake head facing him, almost touching his face. With his extremely powerful Willpower prevents emotional explosion and crazy shooting.
He calmed his breathing and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I began to think about what method I should use to kill this big snake that doesn't know how to live or die without making too much noise.
The man in gray robe slowly took a step away, clenching his hands behind him silently. The big snake remained motionless, just looking at him quietly.
He didn't know why, but he seemed to see scrutiny and curiosity from those vertical eyes. It was as if he was observing him from a high position.
It was as if he was a beast and fell into a hunter's trap. Suddenly, the ferocious and huge snake head quickly retreated and retracted into the mist.
The gray-robed man's vagina shrank and his ears trembled slightly.
"What are you looking for? Is this a treasure hunt?" Quietly, a man's voice came from behind the big snake, with a strong sense of curiosity.
The man in gray robe concentrated his gaze and looked into the distance. Finally I saw who was speaking. And the moment he laid his eyes on the other party, even with his state of mind, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
On the surface, it looked like an incredibly strong bald man. But... what kind of ghost is that long snake suspended in the dark void around this bald head?
What's even more strange is that he only saw the head of the long snake, but not its tail at all. If you look closely, it looks like a tail growing out from behind the strong man opposite!
? Interesting, really interesting. Unexpectedly, Lingyinshan claims to be an upright and famous sect, but it is also secretly recruiting evil cultivators like him. It really makes people laugh.
The white mist surged, and the gentle male voice sounded again, reaching the ears of the man in gray robe.
"You are not a disciple of Lingyin Mountain."
"And I'm talking to you and I'm not getting any answers."
"This kind of impolite behavior has greatly hurt my weak heart."
"So, you must use your life as compensation." The man in gray robe was suddenly startled. What kind of compensation is this person talking about?
Just because you didn't speak, you have to risk your life? The man in gray robe turned his head and looked at the core area of Lingyin Mountain, but a twisted and ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" He sneered silently and slowly came closer.
As the distance shortened, under the cover of the thick gray robe, his shoulders and arms, chest and back, feet and legs all lit up like blood-red lines.
"You think you can scare me by getting a snake-related charm?"
"You know, even Mrs. Snake's soul-stealing spirit python is just a defeated general under me." After the words fell, the man in gray robe slowly stepped forward and stepped out!
Suddenly the ground shook and the rocks cracked. A strong wind suddenly rose and roared towards Wei Tao. The man in gray robe struck violently, and in an instant he had invaded within five feet.
The scarlet lines all over its body shone brightly, condensing into the shape of a ferocious claw in front of it. A cross was drawn like lightning, tearing the air and suddenly slashing down.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Facing the sharp claws that were about to pierce his body, the person on the other side still looked calm and indifferent.
No spells were even cast. Even the big snake that seemed to be spitting out clouds and mist disappeared at this moment, leaving no trace.
What on earth is this guy thinking? Facing the violent attack that was completely different between him and other Talisman Masters, what was this person thinking?
Could it be that he had never seen this kind of brutal close-to-death fight, so he was scared to death? But it doesn't matter anymore.
Because this guy didn't realize it, he was already getting closer. He is doomed to face defeat and death.
The man in gray robe only knew that five feet away, there might be a great spell master specializing in combat who could make quick moves, which would make him a little wary.
But within five feet, he was the only one who was cruel and fast. No matter how powerful a spell master he is, he would dare to take action and take them away.
Sneak close, attack violently, and fight in close combat. This is the biggest difference between him and other Talisman Masters.
"How dare you get close to me so easily? Even the gods can't save you!" A scarlet claw fell down like lightning.
The gray-robed man's eyes flashed with an almost crazy light, waiting for the intoxicating sight of flesh and blood flying.
Katcha! ! At this moment, a golden and jade-like palm rose up without any warning. Blocked in the only path of the Scarlet Claw.
There was a sharp crack. Wei Tao put his five fingers together, gathered them into a whip, and suddenly threw it forward. In an instant, the air tore and the sound exploded.
The Wuji whip came out and hit the sharp and tearing claws head-on. A thunder suddenly rolled across the mountain col. The sharp claws collided with the arms, causing a large dazzling fire.
Then, the claws were bounced high. The two figures collided with each other and clashed head-on several times. Then they all stepped back.
The man in gray robe's expression changed drastically, and he could hardly believe his eyes. When facing other great spell masters, as long as the distance is close enough, he has great confidence and thinks that he can have the last laugh in close combat.
However, this bald man who looked like an iron tower completely exceeded his expectations. Whether it was the lackluster collision just now or the sharp claws that were blown away, everything told him that the opponent's close combat ability was not inferior to his.
It can even cover him up.
"The talisman master of Lingyin Mountain unexpectedly showed such a change."
"This is a monster..."
"We must use all our strength to repel him, otherwise we don't know what the outcome will be when others discover the situation and surround us." The man in gray robe tensed up and stared at Wei Tao a few steps away, his heart suddenly filled with confusion. Several thoughts passed through my mind.
"You are very good."
"It allows me to stretch out my muscles a little and move my body."
"That's why I didn't cast the spell. I was afraid that it would disturb our confrontation." Wei Tao tore off his broken shirt, revealing his body that looked like gold and stone.
He turned his neck and made a series of crackling sounds. A smile of great anticipation appeared on his face,
"Then, I will increase my power next. I hope you will let me use it as much as I can. I won't be like other spell masters who turned into a puddle of mud before I really exerted my strength." Boom!
As soon as the words fell, thunder suddenly exploded. Wei Tao tore through the mist, crossed a distance of several feet in an instant, and punched down on the head.
"I don't believe that you, a Talisman Master from Lingyin Mountain, can defeat my strongest form in pure hand-to-hand combat!" The man in gray robe did not retreat but advanced, folded his hands and crossed them, and rushed forward to meet him.
The two people's eyes met, and different thoughts arose in their minds. next moment. A loud bang exploded deep in the quiet mountain forest.
A figure suddenly flew out. It collapsed a large area of rocks, trees and rocks, and rolled directly off the cliff, scattering large amounts of bright red blood along the way.
"This person pursues power and speed, so he carves spiritual patterns on his body and uses his body to activate the spell. It's quite interesting."
"It's a pity that it wasn't enough. It couldn't withstand my full-strength punch." Wei Tao slowly stood up straight and lowered his head to look down.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes. A broken body rose from the bottom of the cliff, a pair of translucent wings spread out from behind, and it fled towards the distance without looking back.
"He actually ran away."
"It's an insult to me."
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable." The corners of Wei Tao's eyes and mouth twitched slightly, and he took a step forward without hesitation, pursuing the gray-robed man who was flying high.
Shortly after. Several figures quickly came to the mountain col. Carefully observing the remaining traces of the battle, almost everyone showed expressions of surprise and confusion.
…………………………
"Vulture, how could you be so seriously injured and so weak?"
"For you to be injured like this, did you encounter the master of the Spirit Seal Mountain while sneaking in?" The person who spoke was a tall and beautiful woman.
A long black dress swayed in the wind, showing off her figure to the fullest. Under the watery moonlight, the snow-white skin under the black gauze clothes is looming, showing a thrilling beauty.
"Ahem..." The man in gray robe coughed out a large mouthful of blood and said with a trembling voice,
"No, it's not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain..." Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed violently, and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth and nose.
"It's not the master of Lingyin Mountain, so it's you who exposed your whereabouts and was surrounded by the talisman masters of Lingyin Mountain?"
"I'm not really close to the core area of Lingyin Mountain at all. Naturally, I won't fall into the encirclement they set." The vulture looked miserable and gasped.
"I was seriously injured after being punched several times by an incredibly strong guy."
"Several punches in succession, resulting in serious injuries?"
"Vulture, are you kidding me?" A trace of doubt flashed between the woman's eyebrows.
"Even if the master of Lingyin Mountain was not injured, it would be impossible for him to beat you like this with just his fists."
"Mo Zhu, I'm not trying to explain away the failure of my mission, but this is indeed the case." The vulture looked bitter and sighed,
"It was a bald man who not only broke my spell, but also caught up with me and severely injured me with a few punches." The woman in the black skirt seemed to want to laugh.
But seeing the serious and painful expression on her companion's face, she quickly became serious.
"What spell did he use when he fought with you?" The vulture shook his head,
"Although I don't want to believe it, I still think that that guy didn't cast any spell from beginning to end, but used a mysterious and terrifying power to defeat me."
"The talisman was not cast. It is suspected to be some other unknown power system?" Mo Zhu frowned, thoughtfully.
When she spoke again, her voice had become extremely serious.
"We must go back immediately and report your findings tonight to the Lord as soon as possible without any delay or hesitation." The vulture was stunned and murmured to himself,
"If we go back now, the mission of Lingyin Mountain..."
"Compared with your discovery, the spiritual seal talisman is no longer that important." Mo Zhu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly,
"Although I don't know what Void Walker means, since it can be consistent with what the Lord once said, your discovery is a first-class important event and should be placed above all other things." The vulture asked doubtfully ,
"What did the Lord once say?" At this moment, a strong wind suddenly roared and broke and fell a large forest in the distance.
Mo Zhu and Vulture suddenly turned their heads and looked towards where the wind was blowing. But as they moved, the wind stopped without warning.
The night returned to peace and tranquility. The two of them looked at each other, but before they spoke, they noticed at the same time that mist was rising, quickly covering a large area.
"coming!"
"he came……"
"I've run so far, and he can still catch up with me!" The vulture shivered, and his voice was distorted.
