Daily life in Taiyi Pavilion is very monotonous. Apart from practicing martial arts and making talismans, or going down the mountain to study ink, there are very few free days on weekdays. So although going down the mountain to do shopping may seem like a chore, it is one of the few leisure moments for Taiyi Pavilion disciples.
Yesterday, these two Taiyi Pavilion disciples heard that a Nuo opera was being prepared somewhere west of Yangdu, and they were curious and went to join in the fun. However, they did not expect that they returned too late on a whim, which delayed their trip.
Although they have a fixed time schedule for going out, in fact everyone understands each other even if they go out for a whole day and a half at night, and they don't say much.
But when they heard what the waiter said, they all felt something bad in their hearts. If their elder brother caught them traveling, it would not be something that could be solved with a simple "understanding".
In order to prevent them from being lazy when traveling, the senior brother also arranged some extra homework: copying the "Commandment of Immortality" and practicing making talismans. But in private, they would spare a day to complete all the arrangements, and because these things would not be inspected by the senior brother personally, it didn't matter if they were painted as ghost symbols.
Only when copying the "Commandment of Immortality", they did not dare to be vague and could only finish it calmly and conscientiously.
After copying the "Commandment of Immortality" and completing the "Ghost Drawing Talisman", they can be said to be completely liberated and can do their own interests and hobbies.
The two people have the same interests and hobbies, and they are both very interested in strange things. The reason why they went out to watch Nuo opera this time was to find inspiration for their book "Black Bamboo Forest Mysteries".
Speaking of Black Bamboo Forest, we have to mention Taiyi Pavilion’s exercises. The reason why Taiyi Pavilion can use talismans to perform magic is precisely because their ink is special, and the source of this ink is the black bamboo forest in the forbidden area behind Taiyi Pavilion!
When people mention the black bamboo forest, they will think of it as the black bamboo forest planted in Taiyige. But only the people of Taiyi Pavilion know that it was the Black Bamboo Forest that made Taiyi Pavilion what it is today.
The mysterious origin of the Black Bamboo Forest will naturally arouse the curiosity of young people. Whenever they study ink, they can't help but want to go in and find out. It's just that the elders of Taiyi Pavilion strictly prohibited any disciples from entering the depths of the black bamboo forest, and even used Taiyi Pavilion's strict system to suppress everyone's curiosity.
But there are always some people who are headstrong and rebellious. They forget the words of the elders just because they have learned the exercises for a few more years. In the end, they are reincarnated one step ahead of schedule before they can become famous.
Accidents often go deeper into people's hearts than warnings. After seeing the bloody lessons, the disciples began to avoid the Black Bamboo Forest for fear, and how could they dare to have the slightest intention to find out...
Affected by this, the two disciples suddenly had the inspiration to adapt excerpts of what they saw and heard. They also hit it off and secretly compiled the story about the Black Bamboo Forest. I thought that even if I left Taiyi Pavilion in the future, I could revise this "Black Bamboo Forest Mysteries" into a book and it would be a bestseller.
It's just that the elder of Taiyi Pavilion has always been strict. If he discovers the first draft of "Black Bamboo Forest Mystery", he may not wait until they finish writing it, but it will be stillborn.
When the two came to the room, they saw the mess on the table and hurriedly came closer.
"You cleaned up the house before leaving yesterday! Check it quickly..." the older Taiyi Pavilion disciple urged nervously.
The other disciple hurriedly stepped forward to look through it. After a while, he let out a light sigh, then came to the cabinet, reached out and took out a stack of papers from the grid...
"Senior brother... I put away "Black Bamboo Forest Mysteries" yesterday..." The disciple scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You kid! You scared me to death!" Senior Brother complained, and then asked with great interest: "Let me hear how far you have sorted it out?"
"Okay senior brother." The junior brother nodded, then cleared his throat and started chanting.
"When the universe was first born, it was originally chaotic; when clear and turbid were first separated, yin and yang were born. The yin and yang wax and wane and can form the four seasons. When yin and yang merge, they return to the Supreme One. The Supreme One gives birth to all laws, and all laws give birth to all spirits, and all spirits are headed by humans. Evolve all methods into infinite changes..."
"I have already read these, just turn to the end..." The senior brother waited until the junior brother finished reading the page before he reminded him aloud.
"Oh..." The junior brother flipped his hands when he heard this, and then continued to read: "Although there are many changes in the technique of making talismans in Taiyi Pavilion, the thousands of changes are still the same. People only know the talisman paper and the shape of the talisman. It is extremely important, but I don’t know that the talisman-making ink liquid is the most important thing..."
"At night, what is rustling behind my back? At night, what is crying softly in my ears? At night, what is it that swallows people in the darkness... All the secrets are... all..." The junior brother turned to the last page , but there was no more content, "It's broken! Has the last page been discovered by senior brother?"
"Stop making trouble, isn't the last page in your hand?" The senior brother stepped forward to take the paper, and then raised his eyebrows: "Eh... they are all lies? Isn't this the "Commandment of Immortality"?"
As he spoke, he came to the table and rearranged the messy papers. Sure enough, he found four big characters at the end of the "Commandment of Immortality" - "In the Black Bamboo Forest!".
"Be careful when packing your things next time, don't mix things up again..." Senior Brother reminded him, then looked at the words on his hand and read: "Therefore, the so-called rejuvenation, all the truths can be found in just four words. That is in the Black Bamboo Forest... Hahaha... But it looks quite interesting like this! If outsiders see it, they will really think that our Taiyi Pavilion has the power to defy the heavens!"
As he spoke, he replaced "In the Black Bamboo Forest" with "It's all lies"...
…
"Drive... drive..."
"Uh-huh...huh-huh..."
"I said...can you hurry up..."
"Uh-huh...huh-huh..."
Because Lang Yun was guilty of stealing the horse, he walked in a hurry and didn't notice anything wrong at first. It wasn't until he left the city gate some distance that he realized that the black horse behind him turned out to be a donkey, which gave him a headache.
Moreover, no matter how hard he urged and whipped, the stubborn donkey's hooves always moved steadily and unhurriedly. If you walk for a long time, you will even stop to eat grass and take a look at the scenery. It is very comfortable... If you calculate according to the speed of this donkey, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to reach Taiyi Pavilion! If it weren't for my poor condition and exhaustion, I would have thought of abandoning the donkey and leaving.
"I said you beast... why do you pee so much even if you don't go to the grinder?" Lang Yun couldn't stand the lazy donkey walking around, so he yelled. On the other hand, this lazy donkey was shaking his head, apparently not listening to anything.
"Well...you can always rest here..." Lang Yun laughed to himself, thinking why he should be so serious with the donkey.
He jumped off the donkey's back, moved around on the ground, and murmured: "This guy is just dragging his feet, and he's almost breaking my frame apart... Since this lazy donkey is going to stop again, I'll take this opportunity to rest for a while." ..." After saying that, he lay down on the ground comfortably...
The wolf and the donkey hurriedly drove for three days and three nights. Fortunately, the small package he took away contained a lot of money and supplemented with dry food, so he did not starve on the road. It was just that he was too exhausted from the long journey, so he fell into a trance as soon as he fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, it was already midnight.
"Ouch! It's broken! Why is this beast missing?" Lang Yun opened his eyes and looked around to see where the donkey was. He was also at a loss and said angrily: "This damn beast! You don't rush when you should be on your way. When I rushed to stop, I ran blindly again..."
Just as he was scolding happily and preparing to find a place to spend the night, he heard a familiar voice not far away.
"Uh-huh...huh-huh..."
"Fortunately, the beast didn't run far... We need to find a place to tie him up later..." Although the donkey brayed rapidly, the wolf didn't notice it at all and just looked in the direction of the sound.
He walked through the grass and climbed over the slope, and then his eyes lit up. He thought to himself that when drowsiness comes, hand him a pillow, but when luck comes, there is no way to stop it! Unexpectedly, he was just thinking about where to spend the night, and this village actually appeared in front of him.
"I didn't expect this beast to be somewhat useful..." Lang Yun said as he walked towards the village.
There are no high mountains and dense forests to block the place. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the wolf to have walked for so long without being able to discover this village. Especially since there was no light in the village in front of him, the further he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he began to think about retreating.
In my ears, the sound of "Uh-huh...huh-huh..." became faster and faster, and became sharper and sharper. In the end, it turned into a howl that shot straight into the sky, and finally stopped abruptly. At this time, the only sounds that Lang Yun could hear were his own breathing and thumping heartbeat.
I saw the moon hanging in the sky, and several more layers of gauze were added, dyeing the already dim night into a deep pool, making people tremble endlessly.
The night was like a substance, solidifying the wolf in it. He didn't dare to advance, couldn't retreat, and for a while he didn't make any move.
I don't know how long it took, but the night was still dark and the silence was still there. Only the vague smell of blood slowly floated in front of the wolf cloud like a gauze with the breeze.
This bloody energy was extremely thin when it first came, but the moment it came into contact with the wolf, it suddenly surged, like a huge wave, entangling the wolf.
Lang Yun felt that the power all over his body burst out again, and he seemed to have returned to the moment when he found those beggars martial arts. The only difference was that his mind was still clear as usual...
The originally dark night was mixed with these bloody smells, and was instantly dyed a dark red, and the sound of gurgling water flowed in the air...
When Lang Yun was excited, he suddenly saw many ferocious black ghosts appearing in the dead village, swarming towards him. And Lang Yun didn't hesitate anymore, he directly activated his internal skills and killed into the ghost shadow!
At this time, the deep pool-like night became colorful, and the dead environment was finally accompanied by ghosts crying...
