Several carriages were walking on the official road in the direction of Dayu. The speed was not too fast. After all, almost everyone needed to rest and recuperate.
Especially Lin Ye, who held on to Tuoba Lie's domineering sword energy and fought for opportunities for others.
He was lying on the carriage with his eyes closed and his face seemed expressionless, but in fact he was still thinking about the battle with Tuoba Lie.
This battle is certainly dangerous, but for him, it is an extremely rare opportunity to improve himself. How can he become stronger? Only actual combat.
The most important thing was Tuoba Lie's secret hole, which surprised Lin Ye.
This was the first practitioner besides himself he had seen to use such a powerful secret point.
This kind of application is still far beyond Lin Ye.
At this moment, the carriage jolted, and Lin Ye's head was bumped up. At this moment, Zinai put his hand under Lin Ye's head, fearing to knock the back of Lin Ye's head.
Zina thought for a while, it was not an option to keep bumping like this.
So he stretched out another hand, lifted Lin Ye's head with both hands, and placed it gently and softly on his lap.
Lin Ye instinctively wanted to hide away, but was pinned down by Zinai.
Zinai said softly and gently: "Lie down obediently, or my head will explode."
Lin Ye: "..."
Zina reached out and picked up the portrait of the master from the side and looked at it.
"One portrait scared Tuoba Lie. How strong is the master?"
she said to herself.
Lin Ye said: "Perhaps Tuoba Lie is afraid of the Immortal Realm, rather than just the real person in charge."
Zinai lowered his head and looked at Lin Ye: "He is already so strong, is he still not in the God-endowed realm?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "No, he is still at the peak of Wuyue Realm, but no one can reach his height in Wuyue Realm."
Opening so many hidden caves is probably the closest method that Tuoba Lie can think of to approaching the God-Essential Realm.
Lin Ye said: "He may be trapped by his own problems, so he cannot break into Fushen. If possible, we will all die in today's battle."
When he said these words, Lin Ye was still thinking that if Tuoba Lie could enter the Fushen realm, he wouldn't be able to use the secret cave to such a terrifying level.
Maybe he was injured, maybe he was less talented, or maybe it was for some other reason.
In short, he is only a little bit away from the God-endowed realm, but he still cannot break through that shackles.
Thinking about it again, Tuoba Lie who had not entered the Fushen Realm was already so terrifying. If he really entered the Fushen Realm, even if Lin Ye and the others were fully prepared, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything against Tuoba Lie.
Zinai is still curious.
She said: "But why would Master Zhenren give a useless portrait to Mr. Xin?"
Lin Ye said: "I was still thinking about this just now, and suddenly I thought of something Mr. Xin said before we left Yunzhou."
He looked at Zinai and said, "Mr. Xin said that this thing has been with him for many years."
Zinai thought.
Then a surprise.
She said: "Could it be that... they broke up?"
Lin Ye hummed.
If nothing else happens, it will be broken up.
This thing may indeed contain a move from the real master, and it must be a move with infinite power.
But this portrait hasn't been used for a long time. How could there be a talisman in this world that could preserve the power of cultivation forever?
Let alone talismans, even if it is a treasure, it is impossible to preserve the power of cultivation forever.
A while ago, before Mr. Tianji died in battle, he asked Lin Ye for a dagger.
The grade of that dagger was high enough, otherwise Lin Ye wouldn't have stayed. Usually he would use it for Zinai to make iron.
This treasure can store a person's power of cultivation, but after a period of time, Mr. Tianji must re-inject his inner energy.
Therefore, even if one is as strong as the master, the inner energy cannot be preserved for many years.
At this time, someone spoke outside the car. It was Shang Qingwei, the priest of the Shangyang Palace Rites Sect.
"General, can you please speak?"
Lin Ye said: "Dear Master, please get in the car."
The car door opened, and Shang Qing came up and said, "I thought about it, the inner energy in the portrait must have dissipated."
Lin Ye said: "I happened to be thinking about this too."
Zinai asked: "Priest, why didn't you notice it before?"
Shang Qingqing sighed and said: "I thought that what was in the talisman village was the true energy of the master, so I didn't dare to open it. Once it was opened and released, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Zinai smiled and said: "Fortunately, the priest did not open it. If he had seen it in advance and knew that it was just a portrait, the portrait would not scare Tuoba Lie."
She said: "However, I don't know how the painter from the Western Regions learned the skill to be able to paint a face as if it were real."
They are making constant guesses, and the more they guess, the more reasonable they become.
At this time, the team going to Dongbo had already walked back for a while.
Xumi Pianruo sat in front of Xin Yanque, looking very upright and not talking much.
The main reason is that he may have heard that the master in front of him might be His Majesty's biological brother.
Xin Yanque looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Do you usually talk so little?"
Xumi Pianruo immediately felt relieved and quickly replied: "No, I'm holding it in."
Xin Yanque smiled.
Xumi Pianruo asked: "Master Guanzhu, General Lin and the others went to Guzhu, there won't be any problems."
He was a little worried: "If Tuoba Lie is really in Guzhu, and he was already the number one person in the Wuyue Realm ten years ago, I am afraid that he has already reached the God-endowed Realm by now."
Xin Yanque smiled: "Don't be afraid, I gave them a piece of talisman paper, which contains the true energy of the master."
Hearing this, Xumi Pianruo was relieved and curious.
He seemed to be talking to himself: "Then there must be no problem, but I regret that I was not able to go to Lone Bamboo to see the power of Zhenqi of Master Zhenren."
Xumi Pianruo's tone was indeed full of regret and yearning.
He said: "I don't know what kind of move it will be, and what kind of talisman it will be."
Xin Yanque smiled and said, "I have already given the talisman to them, but you can't see it anymore."
Xumi Pianruo: "When I return to Geling in the future, I must visit the master. I have been an official in Geling for five years and I have never seen the real person once. I have never even been to Fengyu Temple."
Xin Yanque said: "You have little chance of seeing the master's action, but if you want to see the master, it's not difficult."
He took out a piece of paper and said: "I carry a portrait with me. It was made by a painter from the Western Regions. It is exactly like a real person. I will let you see it today."
When he handed the paper over, he was stunned for a moment.
"Me?!"
Seeing his expression, Xumi Pianruo asked tentatively: "Judging from the expression of the Master, is... something happened?"
Xin Yanque pulled the horse and said, "Give me a fast horse."
Back then, the painter from the Western Regions painted a portrait of the master.
The master was very happy. As a return gift, he drew a talisman and gave it to the painter from the Western Regions. He said that if he encountered danger in the future, a piece of talisman paper could save his life.
However, the painter from the Western Regions was a spiritual practitioner and the most austere land monk in Zen Buddhism.
He declined the kindness of the master, saying that in life, no matter what happened, it was caused by cause and effect.
If he doesn't die when it's time for him to die, it violates the cycle of cause and effect.
So he said that he didn't want the talisman at all. He said that all things that Taoists pursue are natural, and this should be the case.
The real person in charge said that this is not the Taoist way of doing things naturally. You are just resigned to fate.
The painter asked Master Zhenren, what is the master of Wanfa Naturally? Master Zhenren said that Wanfa is natural, that is, if you can do it today, just do it, if you can't do it today, run away, and when you can do it, you will have to do it again. The painter said that my practice is probably to let nature take its course, and it has nothing to do with your Taoism. So since I have already practiced it, I will continue to practice it.
The master asked whether you would like it if you loved it, so he put the portrait and the talisman away together.
At that time, the same paper was used for painting and making symbols.
Two years later, I heard that the land monk who was practicing asceticism was eaten by wild beasts in the forest when he walked to the southern border of Dayu.
After hearing the news, the master was silent for a long time, and then he opened an altar in person to pay tribute to the painter.
That was the only time in decades that the headmaster opened the forum in person.
Since then, the headmaster has put away the portrait and the talisman paper.
Neither the talisman paper nor the portrait of Xin Yanque were given to him by the master master.
He stole it.
When he was planning to run away from home, he was afraid that he was not strong enough and would not be able to protect himself if he encountered any danger.
Remembering the story that the Master had told about the painter, he stole both items.
He thought about stealing the portrait. He left Fengyu Temple and Geling, and he didn't know when he would go back.
If you miss the old man, you can take a look at this portrait.
After all, although the old man was stern, he treated him really well, so well that he was so kind. He said he was a master and disciple, but in fact, he treated him more lovingly than a grandfather loved his grandson.
As for why the portrait glows when it is opened, it is because the master himself added a small rune circle to it.
What he meant was that hundreds of years after his death, whenever the disciples and grandsons of Shangyang Palace opened the portrait, the portrait would glow and dazzle their eyes.
Those little bastards were so respectful that they said, "Look, the headmaster has been dead for hundreds of years, but the Dharma is still holy and solemn."
The other side.
Lin Ye was still sighing.
"Fortunately, we used it. If Mr. Xin encountered any danger and used this thing, I'm afraid something big would happen."
Shang Qingxu nodded: "The general is right. Fortunately, we used it. Fortunately, it is really useful."
He thought about what if the master of the temple encountered danger when he traveled around the world before.
Once you take out this portrait and open it, it probably won't scare others as much as it did Tuoba Lie.
Because no one else has ever seen the headmaster in person, when he saw the portrait, he would probably be stunned for a moment and then curse.
Zinai said: "This may be God's will."
Lin Ye originally didn't believe in God's will, but after what happened, he thought that apart from God's will, he couldn't find any reasonable explanation.
In fact, the reasonable explanation is that Mr. Xin got it wrong, but Lin Ye and the others would not even think about such a reasonable explanation, nor would they guess in this direction.
If everyone knew, then everyone would count one, two, three, and curse in unison...
"correct."
Shang Qingwan asked: "Is the method of controlling Tuoba Lie safe?"
Lin Ye nodded.
He is one of the few people in the world who understands dark caves.
The method he used to restrain Tuoba Lie was precisely to use Tuoba Lie's secret hole.
Shang Qing felt more at ease when he saw Lin Ye nodding.
That was Tuoba Lie. With his status and strength, it was inevitable for him to be wary of Tuoba Lie.
"After your Majesty meets the real Tuoba Lie this time, he will probably set off back to Geling."
Shang Qinghuo looked at Lin Ye: "Will the general go with your majesty to Geling? I remember that the general has never been to Geling."
Lin Ye said: "I should go."
He didn't know what the emperor was thinking about whether he would take him to Geling, but he really wanted to visit Geling.
Who in Dayu is not fascinated by Geling?
Shang Qingwei said with emotion: "Whether you go and see it, Geling is very good, the most beautiful in the world, but Geling is not good, it is the deepest in the world."
