"Is this, so fast?"
Not long after Lin Yuzhi came out of seclusion, she heard the whole story. She couldn't help but be a little surprised. She looked at her delicate little fist and murmured in a low voice, "Then who holds my angry fist for..."
Guan Luoyang comforted him: "You just got rid of a few of the evildoers in the East China Sea. If you temper this anger well, there will always be a time and place for it to be used."
"By the way, I still have to rescue Dongqing."
Lin Yuzhi's mentality was very tenacious, and she immediately found a new target and pleaded, "And my third uncle, master, although the third uncle is possessed by the devil, he is really not a bad person. He is completely possessed by the devil because of the battle half a year ago. Desperate situation.”
"Can we change the formation against him into a simple trapping formation? Maybe in the future, there will be a chance to find a way to treat him."
Guan Luoyang nodded and said: "I was going to visit your third uncle. Since you also mentioned it, let's come together."
With a wave of his sleeves, he took Lin Yuzhi and flew into a valley in the mountains behind Yongjia City.
In this valley, the terrain is flat and barren, like a wasteland. There are only some large and small rocks. Sometimes the wind blows and stirs up a gust of wind and sand.
Sima Huiming and others who were controlled by Guan Luoyang have already arrived here. The disciples of the Sima family who were originally responsible for guarding the valley and using spells to promote the formation have been taken down by these people and put aside.
Xiao Fangshu, who was pierced by chains and trapped on a high platform, kept his head lowered. Clusters of black flowers grew around him from the stone. The petals were as shiny as silk and swayed in the wind.
The person guarding the Sima family's formation was taken down, but he showed no reaction. Guan Luoyang and Lin Yuzhi arrived together, but he remained unmoved.
Lin Yuzhi's eyes turned red when she saw the iron chain piercing her body, and she shouted with a trembling voice: "Third Uncle!"
Xiao Fangshu was unaware of anything.
Lin Yuzhi did not dare to step forward rashly, for fear of harming her uncle, so she had to stop outside the formation.
Guan Luoyang looked at these stone pillars and altars, and his eyes finally fell on Xiao Fangshu.
He blinked, and his eyes seemed to be rippling with golden-red brilliance, with thousands of characters looming, and then he pushed aside the surface to reveal the inner fire of Xiao Fangshu.
The fire was bright and reddish, but the center was empty and dim. From time to time, some ferocious faces with murderous intent rose up from the fire.
Those human faces were dark and dense, but each face was only the size of an ant. There was a thin tail of smoke trailing behind the face. After flying out of the fire, it was unable to hold on and soon disappeared on its own.
That was the manifestation of extremely extreme thoughts in Xiao Fangshu's mind when he fell into the devil's path.
The spirit of the earthly immortal realm is powerful. Once one falls into the devil's path, these extreme thoughts will turn into invisible little monsters. If there is a set of magic techniques, one can refine these invisible monsters and mix them into one's own magic power. , has various wonderful uses.
If an ordinary person were to verify it, seeing this, they could conclude that Xiao Fangshu had indeed fallen into the devil's path.
However, with Guan Luoyang's keen perception, he can perceive the subtleties. Like Xiao Fangshu's current performance, invisible monsters cannot be truly born. First, it means that he does not have magic skills, and secondly, it means that he is really falling into At the critical juncture of the devil's path, he forcibly suppressed his state of mind.
He paused in such a state that seemed to be a demon but not a demon, about to fall but not fall, and the fate was hanging by a hair.
"I see."
Guan Luoyang raised his hand and flicked his fingers.
The eight chains that passed through Xiao Fangshu's body immediately turned into fly ash. He shuddered, and his lowered head suddenly raised.
"This is……"
He had a handsome face, but his face was too pale, his eyes had no whites, and his eye sockets were filled with black that was so rich that it couldn't be removed, which made him look a bit scary.
"You, Xiaolingzhi?"
Guan Luoyang stepped lightly on his feet, and all the stone pillars around him fell down. The formation that originally relied on magic weapons to operate was completely broken, and he whispered: "Go."
Lin Yuzhi quickly jumped onto the altar and knelt down: "Third uncle, it's me."
Xiao Fangshu asked in confusion: "Why are you here? This is where you are?"
"This is the back mountain of the Sima family, but the old thieves of the Sima family have been killed by my master."
Lin Yuzhi explained the whole story in one sentence, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Uncle Third, you have been trapped here for more than half a year."
"Half a year?"
Xiao Fangshu repeated it, suddenly laughed, and patted Lin Yuzhi on the shoulder, "I never thought that Third Uncle would see you again, let alone that he would take revenge in just half a year."
He moved a little, as if he wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up, so he could only sit down and bowed to Guan Luoyang, "Brother Taoist eradicated the evil in the East China Sea, Xiao is grateful, and I want to thank Brother Tao even more." Take this child."
"Although I can't repay you in this life, if there is an afterlife, Xiao and my brother will definitely do a lot of harm to Brother Dao."
Guan Luoyang floated up to the altar, walked slowly over, and said, "It sounds so unlucky to have your liver and brains wiped out."
"I want to build a school in the East China Sea, and I am in need of lecturers. I heard that you are very experienced in cultivating exotic flowers, and you are also very good at swordsmanship. Are you willing to come and work in my school?"
He smiled and said, "The salary in our academy is very generous. Some candidate members who are still in training have the best salary among their peers. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuzhi."
Xiao Fangshu was a little surprised, and then he smiled and said: "Where is Brother Taoist's academy? Although Xiao cannot last long, it is still a good thing to be a lecturer for two or three days, write one or two books and stay there." Beautiful thing.”
Lin Yuzhi heard the ominous meaning and said hurriedly: "Third uncle, although you are in danger of becoming a demon, the threat to the Sima family no longer exists. As long as you cooperate well, we will always have time to find a way to save you."
Xiao Fangshu shook his head: "If it's really just a hidden danger of being possessed by a demon, it would be fine. But the third uncle died half a year ago. Look at this flower..."
He pointed to the side, and there were clusters of black flowers around him. I don't know when, most of them had withered, and their branches and leaves were withered.
Originally, among the rocks of the Dharma Platform, flowers bloomed and withered, one bush withered, and another bush regenerated. But now after these flowers withered, no new flowers grew.
Anyone can see the trend of lifelessness and rapid decline.
Lin Yuzhi was shocked: "What's going on?"
Guan Luoyang said from the side: "Because he committed suicide half a year ago at the last moment before he became completely possessed."
The reason why he was able to keep his state of mind stuck in that unyielding state was because Xiao Fangshu destroyed his foundation and almost killed his heart and soul. The fatal sword mark still remains in his mind.
This is why his inner fire is dimmed in the center.
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached? The demonic thoughts born from his heart will also be struck by this sword, and naturally they will be unable to continue.
Xiao Fangshu said: "It turns out that Brother Dao has figured it out. Once a person becomes a demon, although the memory is still there, his temperament is completely different. If he is completely obsessed, I don't know what I will do to survive. What if the Sima family If someone deliberately lets me create chaos in the East China Sea and start killing people, it would be better for me to die early."
"But I didn't expect that even though I destroyed the heart with one sword, penetrated the soul, and overturned the spiritual orifice, I was still suppressed."
The Sima family suppressed him here, which seemed to be eradicating him, but in fact it was a seal that greatly slowed down his decline.
Obviously, his existence was used as evidence that the old owner of Wanchuan Haiji was possessed.
"Is it because of this formation that Third Uncle can survive to this day?"
Lin Yuzhi also thought of the key, "Then let's find another formation to seal you up..."
"No, this formation appears to be suppressive on the outside, but on the inside it can delay the death of the possessed person and keep the demonic energy from growing continuously. It is obviously a profound understanding of the matter of being possessed, and it should be arranged by an expert in the devil's way. .”
Guan Luoyang said, "No one from the Sima family, not even Na Lusen, can come up with something like this. Although I am better than them, I don't know much about this kind of magic technique, and I can't reproduce this kind of layout. "
Lin Yuzhi blinked, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Uncle, you are saved."
"ah?"
Xiao Fangshu expressed his confusion, wondering if his little niece was overjoyed or sad. She was confused for a moment and did not understand what she just said.
That's not right, Xiao Lingzhi has a strong temper and is not someone who is easily overwhelmed by sadness.
Lin Yuzhi felt relaxed and explained: "Master wanted to invite you to the academy after seeing the situation of Third Uncle. If there was no other way, how could he hastily destroy this place without even asking? What’s the seat formation method?”
"You are really clever."
Guan Luoyang stepped forward and rubbed the little girl's hair, and said, "Move back, I'm going to treat her."
Lin Yuzhi stepped away obediently and watched excitedly.
In addition to the wounds left by the eight chains on Xiao Fangshu's body, there was also a sword wound on his heart. However, the sword energy was sharp and when it penetrated the heart, the scar left on the outside was not obvious.
Guan Luoyang stepped forward to take a look, and punched a big hole in his heart. The front and back were transparent. When the fist was pulled out, there was no trace of blood.
hiss! Although she knew she was saving people, Lin Yuzhi still felt a bit unbearable.
What a crude treatment method.
"Uncle Third, does it hurt?"
"It hurts but it doesn't hurt."
Xiao Fangshu said honestly, "It's just that the wind is blowing and it's a bit cold."
He was also surprised. This punch hit his old injury. Although it penetrated the flesh, it also wiped out the sword mark left by his full strength half a year ago.
From the physical body to the soul, everything was wiped clean, but the soul was not injured twice, which shows that the force of this punch offset the sword mark just right.
Guan Luoyang raised his right hand, with his fingers slightly bent, and took out a batch of immortal jade coins from the storage space. The jade coins melted instantly and turned into the shape of a heart, suspended above his palm.
"Heaven and earth are a furnace to forge a heart of truth!"
As he chanted softly, the terrain of the entire valley changed, and the mountain walls on all sides were sunken, like the inner wall of a large furnace.
The divine power of the vacuum descended and filled the entire valley. It was guided by the surging spiritual energy and poured into the heart of the jade, which made the jade glow with crystal red light.
There were thick clouds in the sky, and when the wind blew them away, they suddenly opened in the center.
A bright hole appeared between the dark clouds, and the sunlight shone down from it, falling into the valley and focusing on the heart.
Under the sunlight, the jade heart beat slightly, as if it came to life.
Guan Luoyang moved his hand forward and pushed the heart into Xiao Fangshu's chest. The divine power of the vacuum sensed changes and immediately connected the blood vessels of the jade heart with Xiao Fangshu's original physical body. They merged into one energy and were inseparable from each other.
As the heartbeats rang out, Xiao Fangshu felt an endless change, and the vast and boundless Yang and Qingling Qi instantly penetrated the physical body and poured into the soul.
The wound on the chest and the wounds left by the eight chains healed in the blink of an eye.
His pale face had color again, and the blackness in his eyes had faded a lot, revealing the whites and pupils of his eyes.
"Me, my injuries, my inner demons?"
Xiao Fangshu felt his peaceful soul, with mixed feelings, and there was a hint of tears in his eyes.
It had been a long time since he had felt such a peaceful state of mind. Those paranoid thoughts that had always troubled him had nowhere to hide in this gentle heartbeat, and they were all swept away.
He couldn't help but run his own technique. As the Ningxiang Sword Qi circulated, it resonated with this new heart, as if they were tempering each other and complementing each other.
The withered black flowers around him quickly glowed with new life.
The green leaves and red flowers are colorful. Although there are some black flowers among them, their petals are hanging down and they are full of vitality. They are completely different from the strange flowers with deep demonic aura in the past.
"Am I really...recovered?"
He smelled the fragrance of these flowers and seemed to cry and laugh.
"Brother Tao."
Xiao Fangshu stood up, waved his fingers lightly, cut off a strip of cloth from his sleeve, tied up his messy hair, straightened his appearance, and bowed again, "Brother Taoist, I can't repay you for your wonderful hand. Xiao is willing to follow brother Taoist through fire and water." , without hesitation."
"Please get up."
Guan Luoyang supported him and said, "Your decisive sword has already killed all the demonic thoughts in your own body, but it happened to be delayed for half a year. During the suppression, you re-trained your state of mind, so that you can wait until this day. As the saying goes, God will help those who help themselves.”
For people who have cultivated to the realm of earthly immortals, their souls and bodies can already be highly transformed.
If the soul is still there but the body is destroyed, the soul can be used as the basis to recast the body. If the body is intact but the soul is severely damaged, the body can be squeezed to speed up the recovery of the soul.
Because of this, after the heart shaped by Guan Luoyang enters the body, it can nourish the soul and cleanse the remaining evil thoughts.
Moreover, as Xiao Fangshu continues to practice, this heart will become stronger and stronger, making him less afraid of the devil's temptations than ordinary earthly immortals.
"Born to death, your state of mind has been tempered to an extremely high level. Now that you have the opportunity to practice well, it won't be long before you can reach the peak of the Earth Immortal."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "However, you have been trapped for half a year and you should go out for a walk. Why don't you accompany Yuzhi to rescue her friends and suppress the Zhao Family Qibao Chamber of Commerce by the way."
Xiao Fangshu accepted.
Among the forces in the East China Sea, since the drastic changes in Wanchuan Haiji, the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce of the Sima family can be called the first, and the Qibao Chamber of Commerce of the Zhao family can be called the second.
With these three places in hand one after another, even if all parties come to assist in the investigation and wait for opportunities to intervene, they will still have to act within the rules of Guan Luoyang.
After Xiao Fangshu and Lin Yuzhi left, Guan Luoyang returned to Yongjia City and came to the Sima family's library.
Previously on the ship and at Wanchuan Haiji, although I had a good understanding of the world, the things I learned were not very detailed and difficult to trace back to their origins.
Just like the volumes on Baize's Taoism are all abridged versions, Wanchuan Haiji, Donghai Xiaosect, and Caravan Loose Cultivator will only focus on recording some fragmentary information.
Many people who have lived for more than a hundred years only know that China is now the Great Zhou Dynasty, and before that it was the Great Zhao Dynasty. They have never cared about the dynasty before the Great Zhao Dynasty.
Even businesses like Santaiguan, which used to specialize in publishing and selling books, can only have a general understanding of this thousand-year history.
After Guan Luoyang collected this information, he became more confused.
For example, according to the records of the Santai Museum, there are tens of billions of people in the world today between several continents and the Canghai Islands.
The period of fastest population growth was from a thousand years ago to eight hundred years ago, during the two hundred years of chaos.
At that time, the immortals migrated the people and came out of the middle-earth to reclaim the world. It seemed that the main reason was because of the rapid increase in population.
However, in an era when the world is in war and people are dying everywhere, the population can increase dozens of times. What is the reason for this?
After checking the memories of Sima Huiming and others, Guan Luoyang learned that although the Sima family only focused on cultivation, making money, and enjoyment, and did not care about history, the Sima family, known as a thousand-year-old family, had another group of people who collected News about various events in the world are compiled into books.
The historical evolution in the library is quite clear.
Come to this library to find the answer.
After a while, Guan Luoyang's eyes stopped at the beginning of a certain book.
"...Two thousand years ago, when the twelfth emperor of the Han Dynasty came to power, the Western Region underwent great changes. There were thousands of miles of rift valleys in the desert, swallowing up dozens of countries and reaching the border.
Some soldiers from the border army entered it, and it took three years before they came out and acquired strange skills.
After two hundred years, the rift valley calmed down, and the desert of thousands of miles returned to the human world. It has turned into a forest of thousands of miles, and a heavenly book came into the world, divided into three volumes.
For, the Heavenly Book of Taoism, the Heavenly Book of Incense, and the Heavenly Book of Mountains and Seas! "
