For experts who are not afraid of the dangers of mountains and rivers, there are many routes from Luoyang to Chang'an. However, when Shao Lingxiao rushes to Chang'an, it is obvious that what he will do cannot be just a monotonous journey.
Therefore, their route selection must be very particular, and there is a possibility that it will be accurately planned by Li Gong.
The first route can be from Luoyang crossing the river to the north, passing Huaizhou to the west, to Puzhou, crossing the river from Pubanjin and entering the northern part of Guanzhong. When Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, he chose to cross the river at Pubanjin.
The second route goes south to Dengzhou, then takes Wuguan Road to the west and enters the southern part of Guanzhong.
Another possibility is to go south to the Han River Valley, follow the valley west to Hanzhong, and then take the Qinling Road to Chang'an.
Along these routes, there are some important granaries established by the Tang Dynasty.
Sufficient food and convenient transportation often bring prosperity to the region, and most famous sects will choose such areas to open mountain gates and pass them on from generation to generation.
For the Demon Cult, taking these routes will not only threaten the safety of the Tang Granary to the maximum extent, but also allow them to "visit" many righteous figures who participated in the Southwest War with the army along the way. .
The many masters present were divided into three teams, and under the guidance of the inner guards, they followed three routes to pursue them.
Guan Luoyang and his team happened to be on their way back to Xiushuo City.
"Although Laojun Mountain has been recaptured, many buildings on the mountain were damaged after the battle. Until these disciples recover from their injuries, seniors, you should rest in Xiushuo City."
These words had already been approved by General Feng and others when everyone was discussing the division of troops. General Feng and others were taking another route, so they asked Guan Luoyang to convey this intention.
In Zhuang Guogong's old mansion, Guan Luoyang took out a long sword with a square handle and handed it to Master Yu Tu.
"Although Master Tianfang shattered into the void and left, I brought this sword back. Master Tianfang has the method of mind, and the hidden wounds on his body have recovered. If this sword is disintegrated into the body again, even if there is any accident, it should be enough. Protect the peace in the city."
The hilt of this Wuwei Divine Sword is a prism. The guard of the sword is square and simple, with simple patterns. The sword's head, hilt, and body are all one piece, as if they were made from a piece of rough black rock, patiently polished.
However, as long as a little bit of zhenqi is poured into it, the black sword will be covered with spots of mercury luster. If enough zhenqi is poured into it, the entire sword will eventually turn into a mercury sword shape wrapped in ink, which is somewhere between Between solid and liquid, there is the strange beauty of fluid.
Master Yu Tu took the sword and ran his fingers across the back of the sword. Suddenly he flipped his fingers and flicked his nails on the sword, making a clear and long sound.
"Old friend, long time no see."
The old Taoist priest stroked his long and sparse beard. He already knew the situation of the battle at Laojun Mountain and sighed, "That year, Yin Beiwu took the lead in starting the battle. He also wanted to use his best sword in the world. The white paper serves as the sharp edge of the punishment, forcing Shao Lingxiao to break the void and fly away."
"Unexpectedly, what he failed to accomplish back then is now used by Shao Lingxiao on Tianfang."
Guan Luoyang asked: "After breaking the void, is it possible to come back?"
Coincidentally, the term Shattered Void had been seen in many works when Guan Luoyang was a boy.
In his impression at that time, the so-called "Shattered Void" was a phenomenon originating from the martial arts world of the Huang Yi series.
When martial arts practitioners understand the realm of yin and yang, life becomes intense to an extreme, and it is possible to suddenly disappear in the original world.
Some people think that after Shattered Void, they will leap to become higher-dimensional beings of seven stars or above, or even high-dimensional beings of nine-star or above level. Some people think that the span of Shattered Void is not that big, and they just go from one world to another. Just the world.
According to the Lord God Space, because in the Great Void Sea, the number of worlds is infinite, so works that only exist in fantasy in some places can always be found if they are searched on an infinite scale. similar real world.
Therefore, Huang Yi's works must have corresponding worlds.
It is a pity that Guan Luoyang has not encountered that "familiar" world view since he became a reincarnation. He knows very little about the specific situation of the broken void in this world.
Master Yu Tu said: "There were once some peerless masters who were able to send back a few words during the process of Shattering the Void and stepping through the Heavenly Gate. The sages of the past generations have pieced together and figured it out. Most of them thought that it was almost impossible for the characters in Shattered Void to return. To the original world."
A subtle electric light flashed in the corner of the old Taoist priest's eyes, and he looked towards the courtyard. Many green leaves were pulled by the power of his mind and gathered into a big ball in the air.
"If this is the world we went to after breaking the void, then..."
On the leaf ball, the veins of each green leaf were pulled out a little by the subtle invisible force, as if it had changed from a big tender green ball into a fluffy green ball, with strands flying outward.
"Each of these filaments may be connected to a world like the one we are in."
"The heaven and earth are in constant and never-ending movement. When a person breaks into the void, steps into it, and then looks back, how can he identify the place where he came from among the countless changing filaments? Which way?"
Even if there really is a person with supreme supernatural powers who can survey the mysterious and unpredictable world, it is unknown how long a broken person will have to practice before he can achieve this achievement.
When that time comes, will they still want to look back at their homeland?
Master Yu Tu shook his head and said: "What will happen after the broken void can be left for daydream, but it is not helpful for the present. Are you about to set off to trace the traces of the people in the Demon Sect?"
Guan Luoyang responded: "It is true that we can't stay for long. Senior, I have to say goodbye now."
"Wait!"
Master Yu Tu lowered his gaze, carefully looking at every inch of the Wuwei Divine Sword, and said, "After Yunxu Han's soul enters the body, and with your method, the old Taoist can repair the foundation on his own, even if Disintegrating Wuwei Bing into the body will only slightly speed up the process."
"But this is still too slow. Leaving this sword here is no longer the most appropriate choice."
He looked at Guan Luoyang and said, "You have already converted to Wuwei Sutra and are already a master. This sword is most suitable for you."
Guan Luoyang said: "I already have a very handy magic weapon."
Master Yu Tu sighed: "The old Taoist has very selfish motives. I want Shao Lingxiao to be defeated by the Wuwei sword."
"Just treat it as a request from an old man who shouldn't be that annoying. Young man, can you agree?"
Those old eyes held a sincere hope that was hard to escape.
Guan Luoyang finally took the sword.
The pursuit was urgent. He immediately went to join Anfeiyu, Gulanxiang and others. Everyone began to follow the route guided by the inner guards, climbing over mountains and ridges, crossing rivers and water, searching all the time.
Among them, Guan Luoyang plays a very important role, not only in terms of combat power, but more importantly, the telepathy unique to the master realm. If there are other masters who have been around thirty or forty miles away, it will make him worried. Touch something and find a more precise direction.
The "route" in the ancient context is actually a very general thing. It only has a general direction. If it is implemented in practice, there are many variations among the mountains and wilderness.
In order to avoid rushing too fast and being bypassed by those people from the Demon Cult, Luoyang must continue to refine and adjust the route.
This is a very tedious process. Gu Lanxiang, Jiang Jiusi and the others, just following the team, have to go through countless turns, investigations, and tracking, and their impatience is slowly worn away.
The sense of urgency to fight against the Demon Cult was still deep in their hearts, but before the real encounter, everyone chose to restrain their emotions in order to conserve their energy.
Human emotions are limited, and only by knowing how to restrain them can we perform better when we really need them.
By nightfall, they were all like wood-plastic clay bodies with a burning spirit deep inside, but their appearance became more and more similar. They were silently checking everywhere, resting, drinking water, and moving forward again.
The only difference is Guan Luoyang.
When they came out of Xiushuo City and set out on the road together, Guan Luoyang could still be said to be calm and gentle, hiding his secrets. Although his appearance was young, he was already very consistent with everyone's impression of a master.
But as time went by, his vigor became more and more exposed.
When he walked through the forest in the afternoon, wherever he went, a subtle but long-lasting wind seemed to appear out of thin air, causing the branches and leaves to sway and the lights and shadows to mix.
At dusk, when walking from the woods to the river bank, everyone watched helplessly as he walked in front of him. Wherever he passed, the little beasts and insects hidden in the grass scattered in panic and fled in panic.
At night, even if he is sitting there quietly drinking water, his waist is too straight. When his eyes open and close, people always suspect that there is something attractive hidden in his eyes.
Everyone had good martial arts skills, so they didn't need to rest until dawn. They just adjusted their breath for a while and then continued on their way.
The stars and the moon turned, and it was dawn again.
When they climbed over a hillside, it turned out that there was a wind blowing over the mountain, causing the grass to lie low.
But after Guan Luoyang reached the top of the hillside, the people following him couldn't feel the oncoming wind at all.
It seemed that wherever he walked, even the unruly wind blowing across the mountains and fields had stopped, avoiding its sharp edge.
Wu Pingqiang had endured it for so long, but when he saw this scene, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and approached Anfeiyu.
"Nephew An Xian, the moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows when it is full. If a great achievement is lacking, it is of no use. No matter how high you practice martial arts, your body is still mortal, not like the Yangtze River. , if there is a lack of it, that is the long-lasting way.”
When he said these words, his voice was not too low. Everyone present could hear him and naturally understood what he meant.
He hasn't really caught up with the people of the Demon Sect yet, but Guan Luoyang has already shown his sharpness, and is climbing higher and higher. He is afraid that he will be exhausted in one go, and then decline again. Once he catches up, it will be the time to fall into a trough.
Anfeiyu responded in a low voice: "I understand. It's just that Junior Brother has experienced hundreds of battles and is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things. He must have his intention in doing this."
Wu Pingqiang was still a little worried, wondering if Guan Luoyang had not had time to solidify his foundation after being promoted to Grandmaster. What went wrong and could he not maintain his former composure?
Fortunately, Guan Luoyang's aura became much more easygoing next time, and the people who had some secret doubts breathed a sigh of relief.
But not long after, the robes on his body stopped moving automatically. As he walked, invisible heat continued to emanate outwards, and his aura increased again.
Wu Pingqiang couldn't help but glance sideways to see the anmphibians.
It would be fine if he could maintain it all the time, but during the subsequent rush, Guan Luoyang's momentum rose and fell three times in just a few hours, which made even Anfeiyu suspect that he was going crazy and couldn't help but hurry up a few steps. Chase him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Guan Luoyang kept walking and said: "It's nothing, just practicing while walking."
Anfeiyu said: "The intensity of the practice is too high if you go up and down like this. It's better to take it slow."
"Don't worry, I'm actually just listening to the story, and the energy consumption on myself is not that obvious."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "The ups and downs of momentum you feel are just the martial arts I have practiced, eager to show me a side that I ignored before."
That's right, Guan Luoyang applied the characteristic of "listening silently to the mortal world" to his martial arts practice, which brought him a new and wonderful experience.
Practicing martial arts is no longer just one-sided learning, speculation, trial and error, and adjustment, but there is this vague two-way communication.
Every move is like a fable, and every mental technique hides a plot, which they themselves tell to Guan Luoyang.
All the problems in the Bai family's Holy Fist were easily solved. It was like a flying insect telling about the ambition of transforming into a dragon. The Wuwei Sutra was also making rapid progress and clarifying the gist. He even re-examined the kung fu he first learned.
The "Zhoutian Dojo", which was originally thought to be rooted in the strength of the physical body, when it "tells" itself, I feel that it can also be regarded as a kind of momentum.
Guided by listening silently to the world of mortals, the dojo around the sky is filled with blue sky and blue sky, divine phoenixes bathing in fire, and mayflies transforming into dragons, doing everything possible.
Several stories have unfinished meaning, especially the fist of the mayfly that transforms into a dragon, and the sword that can do anything, which are eloquently telling the following chapters.
"When I finish hearing these stories..."
Guan Luoyang looked at the sun, the strong light seemed to flow in his eyes, and suddenly turned his head to look northwest.
"Thirty miles away, follow me!"
