Chen Guo, Fengmu County.
In the cave, gray light and silver light flashed alternately, and a brilliant sword light broke through the entrance of the cave and went straight up to Qingming.
It was Yuan Qing.
It lasted for half a year and traveled thousands of miles. The young man's sword flashed freely, killing more than 300 Moon Worshipers and more than 200 ferocious beasts and monsters.
Most of them are not high in cultivation, only in the realm of Qi training; a few have reached the level of foundation building, but their foundations are patchy, and except for some cunning methods, they are actually vulnerable.
However, regardless of their level of realm, their bloodthirsty and crazy appearance remains undiminished. They all behave like wild beasts and look like crazy demons.
Except one person.
This person's surname was Yang and his first name was Qi. He was a foundation-building practitioner. He was bumped into by Yuan Qing in a small, ruined village about three months ago.
At that time, he was having a bloodthirsty carnival with a group of moon worshippers. There was blood all around, and several stumps were scattered around.
When Yuan Qing saw it, he suddenly raised his sword and killed all the humans and beasts in a few ups and downs. Only Yang Qi was left, kneeling on the ground, dying and looking crazy.
However, at this critical moment, he actually returned to Qingming. After sitting there for a moment, he took out a roll of animal skin from his arms and handed it to the young man. Then he picked up the scimitar beside him and killed himself!
Yuan Qing watched silently, and at the end, he shook his hands and threw out several fireballs, burning everything in the room into ashes, which dispersed in the wind. Then he rose up with his sword, found a hidden cave, unfolded the animal skin, and started reading.
The contents contained in this animal skin can be roughly divided into upper and lower parts. The former records Yang Qi's life, which is mostly about martial arts: a young man joined a cult to avenge his family's bloodshed. In the end, his revenge was avenged, and he also wiped out the world with blood. The name "Beast Demon".
As for the second half, it records in detail the practice experience, the secrets of blood spells and many secrets of moon worship.
The secret skills learned were not of much use in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, but these many secrets, although still not detailed, can make it clear what the so-called "moon worship" really means.
Just as Ma Youzhi said in the past, the Moon Worshiping Sect respects beasts and advocates the unity of humans and animals. It teaches members to combine their souls with beasts and form a seal, so that their minds can be connected and they can control the ferocious beasts. We share life and death, and are closely related to each other. It can be said that everyone is prosperous and suffers.
However, after all, this method is a side branch and heretic, and it is difficult to reach the elegant hall. It is extremely lucky to be able to build the foundation through a lifetime of practice, and there is no way to advance.
In addition, the longer one practices, the closer the connection between soul and soul becomes, and the greater the influence. Gradually, humans lose their wisdom, and animals lose their nature, so that humans and beasts become indistinguishable, and eventually they end up neither humans nor beasts.
However, even though the method is inferior and poisonous, the followers are still like moths in the fire, and will not hesitate until death. There are about three reasons for this.
The first point is that anyone who joins the religion must first believe in "Ula" as the only true God, sacrifice his flesh and blood, and enshrine his heart and soul. What "Ula" says is the truth, and what "Ula" refers to is destiny.
When the body and mind are alone and sincere, you can participate in the "Pilgrimage Trial"; and the so-called "Pilgrimage Trial" actually means that the tester is placed in the vast desert, given water and food for one day, and plans to travel thousands of miles. There are also poisonous insects and ferocious beasts blocking the road, which can be said to have a narrow escape.
If you pass the test, you can meet "Ula", win the favor of gods and men, and be given "blood seed" into your body.
The "blood type" is the essence and blood of gods and humans, which contains the practice method and the divine language of "Ula".
If you practice according to the method, it can take as short as a month or as long as a few years, and you will be able to refine your blood and cast spells, and be able to fight enemies from hundreds of miles away; by studying the divine words, you can listen to the divine words, communicate with tigers and wolves, drive away evil and protect beasts, and deter the enemy. one party.
But he doesn't know that this blood type, called Enreward, is actually a restriction! Whether it is "divine words" or "practical methods", they are all strictly prohibited.
As the practice deepens, the blood ban will move from the outside to the inside, and will eventually be imprinted on the soul. At that time, the blood and essence of the banned person will be flowing, and even the words, deeds, and thoughts will be all in the thought of "Ula".
This was the case with several previous Moon Worshipers' strange behavior, such as self-exploding bodies, blood-light communication, etc.
This is the second one.
Third, it can also be said to be the fundamental cause, the original source, which is the evil nature of human nature and greed.
Imagine that an ordinary person, a fish-meat person, has no idea and lives a mediocre life, but he obtains the Dharma through faith and gains strength through sacrifice. In just half a year, he is like a scaly snake turning into a dragon. A fish passes through the dragon gate and leaps above the mortal world. From then on, It is difficult for the law to regulate one's behavior, and it is difficult for dogma to regulate one's nature. Life and death are all determined by one's likes and dislikes. How many people can resist this temptation!
What's more, once the lock in the heart is gone, the mind will inevitably be agitated and the mind will be restless. At that time, the lust and greed will be like withered grass meeting a spark, starting a prairie fire with just one touch!
In addition, the evil methods and the entanglement of the two are like thunder and fire on the ground that day, and the fierce fire is cooking hot oil, and it is out of control!
There is me in you, you in me, these three are intertwined and infiltrated, like a bone chain or a neck ring, locking the moon worshipers tightly and dragging them inch by inch towards the abyss of desire, leaving no bones behind.
...
A few days later.
The shadow of the sword was hazy, passing through the green and green, and fell on the hilly field, revealing the figure of a young man.
Looking around, the surrounding area is surrounded by lush and tall grass. There is only one place, about ten feet in radius, with grass blades and debris everywhere. There are also patches of blood stains inside, which shows that it has experienced a bloody battle.
Yuan Qing walked to a pool of blood and stood still, raised his hand to take a photo, and at the same time silently recited the magic formula. He saw red light flashing, and little bits of blood were pulled out from the grass blades, condensed into threads in mid-air, and then gathered into The shape of a small arrow rotates around and points to the northwest.
This is the method of refining blood and absorbing Qi, which is one of the secret techniques contained in animal skins. For several months, Yuan Qing relied on this method to trace the traces of worshiping the moon.
His big sleeves waved away the spell, and the young man stood up from the ground in response to the sword light.
After traveling no more than a hundred miles, we saw a group of moon worshippers running northwest. There were thirteen beasts in total, all of whom were practicing Qi.
His spiritual thoughts swept over him, and he had already made a plan in his mind, but he saw the sword light shining brightly, falling from the sky, and with one sword cut a thin old man and the pig demon sitting down in half.
Then the sword light disintegrated and scattered into a waterfall; the young man appeared and swung the sword flatly, and the raging sword wind spurted out, carrying the sharp sword energy, and rolled over a radius of ten feet.
Not long after, the wind stopped, and the grass clippings mixed with blood scattered into the distance, leaving an empty space of more than ten feet; two lean men collapsed at the edge of the open space, covered with scars and dying.
Sheathing his sword and stamping his feet, Yuan Qing looked indifferent, his cassock held up the misty light, isolating his whole body, as if he was waiting for something.
Sure enough, within a moment, blood burst out and scattered in all directions. It was under the control of the blood ban that the cultivator exploded and died.
Most of the blood light was extinguished in the void, except for one, which looked like an arrow, pointing to the northwest and shooting straight into the sky.
Silver light flashed, and Yuan Qing followed Yu Jian up. However, he could not walk for a few breaths, and suddenly his expression became solemn. However, under the influence of a ray of spirit, the heart of the sword sounded a warning sign, as if the bloody light was coming, and a catastrophe was about to happen. Pro.
So he lowered his sword to the ground, and at the same time flicked his sleeves, throwing out seven small yellow flags, which fell about ten feet apart around his body.
The next moment, a ray of black light was seen piercing the sky, and in a few breaths it came to the sky above Yuanqing.
The black light dissipated, revealing a person and an animal: the person, with a clean face and tied hair, fluttering green clothes, looking like a scholar; the animal, more than ten feet long, more than a foot wide, with two wings on its back, its whole body is black, with a ferocious carapace and fangs. sharp.
Both of them are in the late stage of foundation building. They have full spiritual pressure and long spiritual breath. They are definitely not ordinary people.
The scholar looked Yuan Qing up and down, then opened his palm, revealing a scarlet bead.
The ball exploded immediately, turning into a fine blood mist, gathering and twisting, and burrowed into his mouth and nose like a small snake.
After closing his eyes for a moment, the scholar opened his eyes and spat out several unknown syllables. Seeing that Yuan Qing was indifferent, he smiled casually and said again: "I am Wu Zhan, I believe that you are the one who has been chasing me around the Moon Worship Sect in recent days. , Don’t you know your surname?”
However, before he could finish his words, he saw the sword's light shining like a rainbow, charging forward.
The young man stepped on the Cloud Wing Bead and soared into the air, his whole body full of sword intent and raging fighting spirit.
Even though the spiritual sense guides us, this battle will be very dangerous, but with the long sword in hand, we, the sword cultivators, have nothing to fear from a battle!
The scholar did not dodge in the face of the sword light. The blood in the palm of his raised hand flashed, imagining it to be the shape of a snake's head, and he bit it.
The sound of "Zizi" sounded, the sword light and the snake head were like fire meeting mysterious water, melting into each other without giving in, and finally perished together.
Yuan Qing was not surprised when the attack failed, but he did not intend to stop there either. So he concentrated his mind and raised his long sword from bottom to top, slashing out like a crescent moon.
Then the second one, the third one... the young man went all out and slashed out seven crescent moons in a row.
The seven crescent moons line up in a line, their splendor is bright, their meaning is sharp, and they have the potential to crack mountains and crack rocks.
The scholar did not freeze this time, he just stepped lightly on the fierce centipede. The latter's wings trembled slightly and turned into a ray of black light to avoid the crescent moon. Its speed was even better than the sword energy.
"Wait!"
The black light dissipated, and a man and a beast reappeared. The scholar suppressed the blood in his eyes and shouted loudly.
However, the words were like a stone sinking into the sea, and only the sword light reappeared in the sky.
Seeing this, the scholar couldn't hold it back any longer, and shouted loudly. He saw blood flames rising, his green shirt flying into ashes, and his figure also skyrocketed several feet to a height of two feet; his eyes were red, and the muscles all over his body were condensed, and there was no trace left. Scholarly attitude.
Then he inhales and exhales, the sound is like a bell and a big bell, buzzing; the sound is like ancient mysterious sounds, and it is difficult to understand its meaning.
The sound fell and the blood rose, but large blood lines appeared on his arms and the back of his neck, as thin as silk threads, resembling a ferocious beast.
The blood lines turned into flames, rose up, entangled and gathered, and finally turned into three beasts: one was a black-scaled single horn with two feathers on its back, holding a three-foot snake body and rushing towards Yuan Qing. It turned out to be a soaring snake!
One with a red feather and golden beak circled slightly and came under the scholar, holding him firmly.
One of them fell to the ground with a roar, but it was a white elephant with silver tusks, more than eight feet tall, with a faint white light in the curled nose, and it was unknown what it was doing.
As for the flying ferocious centipede, it broke through the sword light long before the scholar stopped drinking and was fighting with Yuan Qing.
...
More than a hundred miles away.
Under the shade of the trees and beside the stream, the little beast was lying with its feet curled up, watching two river crabs "fighting to the death" with great interest.
Just when the outcome was about to be decided, a faint male voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Little guy, if you don't get over, your little husband will not be able to hold on anymore..."
The little beast was startled, and quickly ran into the depths of the forest, hiding in a hidden tree nest, and kept looking around.
After a while, he saw that there was still no one around, so he finally plucked up the courage to jump out.
He looked at the horizon, closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and finally the clouds and smoke reappeared.
"Anyone who dares to touch this princess, hum!"
...
Above the sky.
The black and white mysterious robe emits a shining mysterious light, isolating the heaven and the earth.
The man looked back to the west, smiled slightly and said: "What a fire, it came at just the right time."
