The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
At the foot of Hailing City, some dragon guards gathered to warm themselves by the fire and talk.
"Can those who came down from Wudang Mountain, or are they the candidate dragon guards, withstand the nearly ten thousand demon masters who descended on a path of demon soldiers?"
"Not to mention the demon soldier centurion, I'm afraid the ordinary demon soldier corps commander is no match. Zhao Quan and these seven people usually look very square. How come they can't control their conscience at this time and give away the credit for nothing? So what about Zhenguo Dazong?”
There was also a dragon guard who frowned and said: "In other words, even if Wudang's "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" reaches the ninth level and begins to penetrate the dark orifices of the human body, it will take at least two years of martial arts training to temper the body and comprehend. In martial arts, you also need to read and understand many classics of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and accumulate knowledge. Martial arts are said to be so good that they can withstand nearly ten thousand demon masters. It is also a myth and legend. Even if a dragon enters the river, a third-rate master will be piled to death."
Hearing this, many Dragon Guards in front of the bonfire nodded, convinced that there must be something weird in this.
A corner of the city wall.
Su Qinian sat cross-legged on the shaft of the carriage. He was completely empty. His dark green robe rippled under the moonlight and fell into the eyes of the little girl Bu Nian on the carriage. At this moment, Brother Qinian was like a light feather that would be blown away at any time. The wind blew it away, but it remained motionless. An ethereal and fairy-like temperament became stronger and stronger.
The people of Li recited chants, offered incense, and built shrines. Su Qinian referred to many classics and travel notes in the Sutra Collection Building in the outer courtyard of Wudang, and combined various records with his own experiences, especially those in Yunyang County that day. In Jiuligang, Qingshan Town, in front of the temple of the Three Crazy Taoists of Wudang, my mental power was blocked, and the gaze as vast as the sea of stars I felt was always thought to be an illusion. Now it seems that it may not be that simple.
"If you raise your head three feet, there will be gods. If you raise your head three feet, there will be gods."
Su Qinian opened his eyes and murmured: "This is an ancient saying. It originally means belief in the gods of heaven. If you encounter something unsatisfactory, you should go to the corresponding temple to worship and pray for blessings, and your pious heart will reach heaven. Gods It will appear and look at you from a place three feet above the altar."
"Many martial arts masters set up shrines because they originally wanted to use the thoughts of living beings to refine their spirits and condense their will. The ancestral orifice is also called the divine court. The thoughts of all living beings gather to reach the divine court. The divine court is heaven and the heaven. It should be The place where the gods live.”
Su Qinian had a clear understanding in his heart. The first step for all living beings to offer sacrifices and offerings was to erect statues of gods and build golden bodies. However, he quickly frowned. Ao Shenting establishes a divine throne. Goddess of Pregnancy, so what kind of throne does he want to establish, and which great god does he want to gather?
As far as Su Qinian is concerned, there are few celestial gods in many folk shrines and even temples. Except for the saints, Buddhas, and Taoists respected by the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, there are descendants of the three families, each of which is established among the people. The temple is also the main one. After death, if the martial arts cultivation was good during life. If it is famous in the martial arts world and benefits a party, it may become a temple, or it may be torn down. Replaced by the new Master Sheng Temple.
So, the god established in the Ancestral Aperture Divine Court is the warrior himself, and the god he conceived is also himself?
Su Qinian shook his head, probably not that simple.
He recalled the ancient divine tortoise that was engraved deep in his mind with his spiritual power. It could be eight or nine feet wide, and its black and yellow tortoise shell had gone through many changes. The old skin folds on the turtle head are layered, and it seems that it has been sleeping for an unknown amount of time.
The three-headed turtles in the outer courtyard of Wudang carry the secrets of the eighth, ninth, and tenth levels of the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" respectively. One is in the outer courtyard of Baiyun Peak, the other is in the outer courtyard of Lei Shifeng, and the last one carries the secrets of the ancient times. The most profound and profound ancient turtle, the tenth level of "Turtle and Snake Technique", is in the outer courtyard of Tianzhu Peak.
More than five thousand years ago, when the demon clan first arrived, the three psychic turtles had already appeared in Wudang, leaving traces in Wudang history and even the history of martial arts.
As far as Su Qinian knows, these are the three longest-lived psychic beasts recorded in the world. They are not unique, but they are almost the same.
So, what is the mystery hidden in the oldest turtle?
Buzz!
Suddenly, there were fluctuations in the air. Su Qinian looked up and saw an ancient bright yellow scroll slowly opening above the city. The golden air flow was swimming, as if small dragons were swimming, exuding an incomparable nobility. , the breath of majesty.
The emperor's dragon spirit!
Su Qinian's mind was shaken. He could feel the eyelids of the dormant dark gold dragon in the Ancestral Aperture Divine Courtyard moving slightly, giving rise to an invisible thought of longing.
"The Demon-Slaying List! Junior Brother Su, hurry up. This is the summons from the Dragon Lord Duanmu. Anyone here, no matter the candidate Dragon Guard or the Dragon Guard, seeing the Demon-Slaying List will be like the emperor's personal visit."
Qin Xu, one of the seven disciples of the Seven Kills Sword Sect, spoke up. He was a slightly fat young man. At this time, the seven disciples of the Seven Kills Sword Sect arrived in front of the carriage. Su Qinian also got off the carriage. At this moment, almost A disciple of the Seven Killing Sword Sect suddenly had an illusion, as if a god from heaven suddenly descended to earth. For a moment, his temperament had the illusion of being high above, overlooking all living beings.
However, this feeling only passed in a flash. When a few people tried to sense it carefully again, they couldn't catch anything. The young man in front of them seemed to be relegated to the mortal world and became ordinary and ordinary.
Denghai Lingcheng.
This main city in Yizhou also has a long history. It is called Lixiaheshui City on Jianghuai Road. It is surrounded by water. Top spiritual figures once climbed to the sky and overlooked the earth. This Hailing City is like a phoenix returning to its nest. Falling on the earth, it is a rare and rare geomantic treasure land.
Climbing to the top of the city, Su Qinian saw many dragon guards wearing pure white star robes. Each one had a strong aura and strong blood. They were not more than 30 years old, but there were few under the weak crown, such as Zhao Quan. The seven disciples of the Seven Kills Sword Sect, among the many dragon guards on the city top at this time, looked very young.
He was looking at the many dragon guards who had climbed up the city, and many of them were also looking at him, curious at first, then a little indifferent, even indifferent.
For a group of young Dragon Guards, those who were able to become Dragon Guards and obtain the Seventh Rank granted by the imperial court had to compete with their peers before finally standing out. No one was weak, and no one thought they were inferior to others. Deep in their hearts, They all have their own rebelliousness, are not impressed by the powerful ancient inheritance, and have a challenging heart.
All of this was in Su Qinian's mental induction, and he didn't take it seriously. Then, he looked at the ancient scroll open on the top of the city. The golden cloth was wrapped in the emperor's dragon energy. This was announced by Ouchi, The emperor's jade seal was branded by the contemporary emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it was a demon-slaying list exclusive to Hulong Villa.
Several disciples of the Seven Killing Sword Sect just now also explained a lot to him. The Monster Killing List is very important to the Dragon Guards, Dragon Generals, and even the Dragon Lord of Hulong Villa. The Monster Killing List carries achievements. Different rankings can He was blessed with the Emperor's dragon energy of different strengths and weaknesses, enhanced his understanding and luck, and even received various rewards, but compared to the first two, they were a bit insignificant.
The emperor is like a dragon. The emperor of the Han Dynasty carries the fate of a country and is called the true dragon emperor. According to rumors, the true dragon, a mythical beast among psychic beasts, is not inherited by blood, but conceived by heaven. It is the real emperor. The emperor is like a real dragon. Dragons are naturally favored by heaven. How can people who are favored by heaven and earth have poor understanding and luck? Therefore, as long as the emperors of the Han Dynasty inherited the throne, carried the favor of heaven, and the destiny of a country, no matter how long they practiced, they would eventually achieve success. Tianming, ranked as a grandmaster, is undoubtedly the number one expert in the royal family.
In addition, many princes, princesses, and royal family members are almost all born with weak constitutions and shallow understandings. Although their constitutions and understandings are not immutable, as long as they have royal blood, they are better than ordinary people on the initial path of Wudang cultivation. He can go faster and further, has a solid foundation, and is more likely to have many adventures and fortunes than ordinary people in the martial arts world.
The theory of luck has always been elusive, but it is real. This is recorded in many Wudang classics that Su Qinian read. However, the luck of ordinary people is not obvious, and they are not masters of Feng Shui. , and even some special circumstances and opportunities are simply impossible to manifest.
But now, as long as he can be on the Demon-Slaying List, he will be blessed by the emperor's dragon energy, which will enhance his understanding and luck. This is an opportunity that even Su Qinian is not willing to give up.
At this time, Su Qinian finally understood that the martial arts world and the temple were two different worlds, and there was no conflict between them. Why were there so many martial arts sects and disciples from aristocratic families flocking to join Hulong Villa? Obviously, unlike most martial arts schools, For Chinese people, the so-called imperial official position, no matter how high it is, is just a false name. The most important thing is that with the blessing of the emperor's dragon energy on the Monster Killing List, the stronger your understanding and luck, the better you can go on the road of martial arts. Going further, this is the true pursuit of many younger generations of martial arts disciples.
However, Su Qinian was somewhat confused about the thoughts of this generation of Han emperors. The Dragon Guard Villa was established only a hundred years ago, unlike the six gates of the Ministry of Justice, which stood for more than five thousand years, almost as long as the Han Dynasty. Since this monster-slaying The list can bestow the Dragon Qi of the Emperor on those who enter the list. Naturally, the Dragon Qi of the Emperor in this generation of Han emperors will be weakened.
About half a stick of incense, nearly two hundred Dragon Guards had gathered on the top of the city, and there were also candidate Dragon Guards like Su Qinian, but there were very few of them, not even ten.
For such a latent secret battle, we need to face many demon soldiers. Third-rate masters, not the best among the waiting dragon guards, will not be allowed to participate, and they will only die in vain.
At a glance, more than 90% of the Dragon Guards were injured, ranging in severity.
There are only dragon guards here, and there are no dragon generals in full-moon robes. It can be guessed that the backbone of the dragon-protecting villa in this state probably has a heavier burden.
From the accent, Su Qinian could also tell that the nearly two hundred Dragon Guards were not all from Hailing Prefecture. There were also a few Dragon Guards from several neighboring states, who happened to meet and entered into this long-planned situation. .
The red sky sword light illuminated a state. From the moment the great formation revived, Su Qinian had a vague insight into reality and right from wrong. It was difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. (Please give me a monthly ticket. Genuine subscription is the greatest support for Ten Steps.) (To be continued.)
