Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 288 The Demon
It was almost dusk, and the sky was getting dark.

Without the gathering of crowds and the shelter of the city walls and houses, the wind in the countryside is much stronger.

The snow has not yet melted, and no one has come to clean it. Many places have been frozen and hardened, and it will slip if you walk on it.

In the bitter cold wind, a white robe fluttered back and forth, lifting the blood-infused transparent tentacles from time to time.

The creaking sound came one after another.

It was a group of people stepping on the snow at the same time, moving forward non-stop.

Their eyes were closed and their faces were smiling.

Unaware of the howling cold wind around me and the thick snow under my feet, it was like dreaming a sweet dream that I didn't want to wake up from.

Swish!
From time to time, a piece of human skin floated high.

Immediately, it disappeared in the fluctuating transparent ripples, turned into dust flying in the sky, and merged into the black soil and white snow.

There was a crackling sound.

A dead branch hidden under the snow broke in two.

At this moment, the white-robed figure surrounded by them stopped in their tracks.

She turned around slowly, and looked at the shadows against the background of the snow in the distance.

It was like a giant sleeping beast, crouching there quietly, not moving a bit despite the wind and snow.

"We'll be arriving at the capital city of Qizhou soon."

After being silent for a long time, Luo Qingjun sighed in a low voice, his voice was flat and soft, but the icy coldness before was gone.

The next moment, a gentle man's voice sounded quietly, "This is the Acropolis north of Fucheng, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Fucheng."

"Senior Gui lived in Qizhou for several years, and now revisiting the old place, do you have any special feelings?"

"Qizhou, it's my sad place."

Gui Shufang seemed to be lost in memory, "At the beginning, I thought this place was far away from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and with the Red Lotus Envoy of the Qinglian Sect to take care of me, it should be safer anyway.

At least it can make me calm down and advance the research on Youxuanweisi to a new stage.

It's a pity that not too long later, the imperial court and the religious sect joined forces to kill them. The quick response and powerful force completely exceeded my imagination. "

Speaking of this, Gui Shufang paused for a moment, and was still full of emotion when he spoke again.

"Donghe from the Tianji Mansion, Qiongmang from the Patrol Division, Li Xing from the Supervising Martial Arts Division, and Feng Wei from the Xuanwu Dao, these four joined forces, together with Luo Daozi and the Elder of Lingming Mountain, they really gave Gui Shu imitation face.

Fortunately, Yuan Yidao and Ning Xuanzhen did not go down the mountain at that time. If he was added, I was afraid that I would be directly crushed and killed, and there would be no subsequent series of struggles for survival. "

Luo Qingjun smiled lightly, "We sent news to Daoist Ning, but he didn't respond.

Of course, for those who organized and planned this matter, Luoshui was close to Qinglin Mountain, and it was unreasonable not to inform them, but it was just in line with their wishes to inform Ning Xuanzhen that he would not come. "

"It's understandable. It can carry profound thoughts and entrust the mysterious threads of the true spirit. Naturally, the fewer people who share this secret, the better."

Luo Qingjun suddenly changed the topic, "Senior Gui, didn't you think that the Red Lotus Envoy has been lurking in the court for so many years without being exposed, and even got the position of Qizhou Jiedu Envoy smoothly all the way.

He was considered to be the most successful high-level person cultivated by the demon sect, but in the end, he failed and ended up in an extremely miserable end? "

"I thought about it, but I didn't think about it carefully. It's nothing more than Qinglian's internal struggle, plus someone wants to target me.

After all, since things have already happened, it doesn't make much sense to pursue them. People have limited energy when they are alive, and even more so when they are dead. There is no need to put too much energy on it. "

Luo Qingjun frowned slightly, "Senior Gui said he was dead, I think you are alive and well.

Not only in the junior here, but also in other places, but all of them have your shadow. "

"On the banks of the Luoshui River, Gui Shufang is dead, this is an undoubted fact.

Whether it's me or us scattered everywhere, they are just a part of his true spirit.

I can't go back to the beginning, and I can't be the real uncle. "

Luo Qingjun said, "But the feeling that Senior Gui gave me is no different from before.

Even Victory, which brought me tremendous pressure. "

Gui Shufang sighed in a rare way, "The Land of Rebirth is a good place, and the four green, red, and purple lotus platforms are also good things. When you go there and see them, you will know that what I said is true."

"I also hope that day will come as soon as possible."

Luo Qingjun nodded, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the right half of his face, "Since discovering the existence of Senior Gui, it seems that this is the first time we have communicated peacefully."

She secretly sighed, but the smile on her face became more intense, "Maybe it will be the last time, after all, senior will disappear soon, and there will be no trace left in the world."

"I worshiped Dingxuan Mountain since I was a child, step by step from the disciple of the outer sect to the position of the master of the Dingxuan sect. I have met many amazing and brilliant people over the years, but if you say who has the highest spirit, it must be Senior Gui." belongs to.

If you say that you want to become the king of the Northern Wilderness, maybe this junior will seriously think about what senior Gui should do in order to become the new king in the Golden Tent.

But what the senior thought was completely beyond my expectations, and what he turned his attention to was Dafan Shengtian, which is really whimsical to an astonishing degree. "

"Tomorrow's principle, destroying human desires, the lord of the northern wilderness, the virtuous live in it. Senior's words are indeed extremely domineering, but unfortunately, he can't recognize himself. He treats himself too much as a dish, but he is just an ant."

"Sect Master Luo, don't overestimate Beihuang Brahma, and don't underestimate the person who is the leader of all spirits, especially our true spirit. It is not impossible to make a big move that seems to be against the sky.

Taking a step back, whether I succeed or fail, it is something worth looking forward to for you, isn't it? "

Luo Qingjun's smile faded away, and his tone turned cold, "The world and the earth are all working together, and it is not free to transport the heroes. The situation of Senior Gui at this moment is different from when he entered the place of death.

Knowing the heavens and the earth, knowing yourself and the enemy, can last long. After the battle by the Luoshui River, you were already crazy, and now you are just the last madness before your demise. "

The voice fell, and the strange thread surged.

In an instant, dozens of human skins flew up simultaneously.

It was shattered by the rippling transparent ripples, and disappeared into the vast night.

Without the encumbrance of the crowd, after absorbing all the essence of flesh and blood, Luo Qingjun got up again and moved forward.

The cold wind howled and rushed towards us.

Although there was a scene of severed life and severe winter everywhere, within Luo Qingjun's body, there were traces of vitality full of agility, which made her more erratic and light, walking on the snow without a trace.

Like a ghost, looming in the depths of darkness.

Not long after, she stopped on the outskirts of the Acropolis, quietly watching the smoke rising from time to time in the city, with a nostalgic expression on her face.

"Count the days, it's almost New Year's Eve."

Gui Shufang's voice sounded slowly, "Seeing the fireworks in the small town, I can't help but recall that when I was a child, what I looked forward to the most was Chinese New Year, meat to eat, new clothes to wear, and a few copper coins for the new year's money to buy in the street. A gadget that has long been fancy."

"Do you really not regret it?" Luo Qingjun asked.

"Sect Master Luo has been trying to mess with my mood, but it doesn't really make any sense.

Because I have never regretted it, I still prefer this overriding matchup to the bliss of ignorance. "

"I think you're crazy."

"If you're not crazy, you can't survive." Gui Shufang sighed, "Sect Master Luo doesn't need to mention me, you are showing your murderous intentions right now, and you don't know how many people will be left alive in this acropolis after tonight."

Luo Qingjun didn't speak again, but turned to look into the distance.

"I actually sensed Ning Xuan's real existence and was approaching quickly."

She was a little surprised, "And through Brahma's spirit, I inexplicably sensed his aura."

"What is the head of Luo going to do? Do you want to have a fight with Daoist Ning?"

"I have only one purpose for going south this time, and that is to kill the person surrounded by Brahma's malice, and then retrieve the blood lotus from him. Other things are not in the plan, and if there are no extra complications, no extra complications will arise.

Not to mention the confrontation with a great anode master, fighting for the chance of survival. "

Luo Qingjun let out a low sigh, and his aura suddenly shrank like wood and stone, completely cutting off the connection with Brahma's spirit.

The next moment, she took a step forward, and she disappeared quietly.

When she reappeared, she had already arrived in the city, in the streets and alleys with people coming and going, and even held a child with a runny nose in her hand, no different from other housewives who had been smoked.

The sunset soon fell, and night fell quietly.

The Qizhou Acropolis is brightly lit.

Most of the people had just finished dinner, and it was not time to go to bed, so they gathered with their acquainted neighbors and friends to chat and talk nonsense, killing the boring time of winter nights.

A crescent moon sticks out from the gap in the clouds, covering the earth with a layer of white gauze.

On the top of the city tower, there was a dense mist of fresh water, and even though the north wind howled, it could not be disturbed and blown away.

In the mist, a thin figure loomed, staring silently at the city below, as if it had merged with the stone wall and turned into a humanoid sculpture.

…………

………………

The moonlight is like water, and the night wind is cold.

Li Kun quickly brought people over to take the bodies of the two Northern Wilderness Warriors away from the Green Bamboo Garden for disposal.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Qingfeng Temple moved.

Everyone is vigilant and ready to deal with possible sneak attacks again.

Wei Tao had already entered the practice room.

As he said, time is precious and cannot afford to be wasted.

The status bar quietly appears in front of you.

Wei Tao stared at the illusory interface in front of him, looked at one exercise after another, fell into silent thought.

Fifteen gold coins is said to be a lot less, but it is not too much to really use it.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan well and deduce how to use it in order to maximize its strength.

"There is no room for improvement in the Emperor's Seal."

"After using the King Kong secret method to break through the master, there is no clue for the follow-up to the unity of yin and yang, chaos and formlessness."

"The Guiyuan Gong of our sect...forget it, I haven't reached the fate with it, so I can't insist on it."

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Tao still set his sights on the Xuanwu Zhenjie Qisu Chapter.

Name: Qisu Chapter.

Progress: 140.

Status: Breaking the limit of the fourth stage.

Realm: The five constellations attack together.

Description: It is mutually confirmed with other exercises, and this exercise has changed and improved.

Quietly, a gold coin disappeared.

Mysterious aura began to pour into the body.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown period of time, the tide of mystery gradually subsided.

Dramatic changes ensued.

Wei Tao remained expressionless, sensing a main orifice in his body exploded.

"It turns out that this main orifice corresponds to the barracks in Qisu."

"After reaching the level of breaking the limit of the fifth stage, the room of the seven constellations will then break through the barrier, and can resonate with the other five constellations."

He slowly exhaled a scorching breath, his body rapidly swelled and became bigger, and the black-red breath soared, covering the dark golden light inside.

Qi and blood then surged, and the scarlet thread twisted and grew wildly.

Together with the complicated blood network, it continuously shuttles and spreads in the body.

Before long, all changes came to a halt.

Wei Tao rested for a while, and then started the second promotion again.

In an instant, a more surging mysterious aura poured into the body, causing more drastic changes than before.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, everything calmed down.

In the status bar, the description of Qisu chapter also reached its peak.

Name: Qisu Chapter.

Progress: 160.

Status: The final stage of breaking the limit.

Realm: Qisu combined attack.

Description: It is mutually confirmed with other exercises, and this exercise has changed and improved.

Wei Tao got up from sitting cross-legged, clasped his hands, fingers slightly spread, palms slightly raised.Make a starting gesture of Yuantai fist seal.

Boom!
A light sound like a heartbeat, mixed with rumbling thunder, quietly swayed in the dark and silent practice room.

He was in harmony with each other, and his body moved with his thoughts, slowly stepping in circles in the practice room, walking in circles.

The pounding heartbeat and the rumbling thunder are connected together, and finally mixed into the humming rhythm of the morning bell in an ancient temple.

Following the completion of the first arc, Wei Tao landed his feet precisely on the starting point.

In an instant, the ink lotus quietly bloomed, and the image of a turtle and a snake intersecting was born again.

Immediately afterwards, an illusory figure with a black body appeared, standing on a black tortoise and surrounded by snakes, located in the middle of the ink-colored lotus platform.

Wei Tao's spiritual will was raised to the peak, and the scarlet silk gushed out of his body at this moment.

The silk thread is woven into a net, and the artistic conception of red thread fist and mountain crossing is looming inside, slowly covering all the whole virtual image.

After a dozen breaths.

All of a sudden, the strange silk was scattered, the artistic conception disappeared, and the practice room returned to darkness and silence again.

"It's still a little bit short, but it's not a big problem. After a few more times, the two methods can be successfully integrated into the Yuantai Fist Seal.

After all, the red line boxing and mountain crossing legs are both my starting skills. I don’t know how many times I have practiced since I started practicing, and I have also experienced the experience of Taixuan Zhiyuan. come to the realm. "

"It's a pity that it doesn't make much sense if it succeeds. After so many attempts, it can be foreseen that after integrating the red thread through the mountain, the improvement of the Yuantai Fist Seal can't be said to be close to nothing, but it is also very small.

Therefore, the previously conceived idea of ​​practicing more than [-] kinds of heretic exercises and then integrating them all does not have much practical value. "

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, retracing the practice just now over and over again in his mind, and sighed secretly after a while.

For this situation, although he was a little disappointed, it was expected.

The upper limit of the Red Line Fist and Mountain Kick is right there, and they are not at the same level as Xuanwu Zhenjie and Vajra Secret Technique. To be honest, a little improvement is already a good result, but it is not too much to expect.

Next, Wei Tao turned his attention to the status bar again.

Thirteen gold coins remained.

Then how to use it later has become a difficult problem that needs to be judged and chosen.

Thirteen gold coins are simply not enough to allocate for the 30.00-stage tortoise-snake trade, the Rengui chapter that broke the [-]-stage limit, and the Ming female chapter that has just reached [-]% progress.

Wei Tao sat cross-legged and thought for a long time.

All kinds of deduction are constantly going on in my mind.

Finally, he made up his mind.

The circulation of Qi and blood in the body is the foundation of strength, the foundation of strength, and it is also closely related to the Moon Washing Tulu, so it is already obvious how to choose.

A gold coin disappeared without a sound.

The status bar was blurred for a while, and a mysterious atmosphere began to inject.

Dramatic changes ensued.

Then the second, third, fourth...

Until the ninth gold coin was thrown in.

In the status bar, Xuanwu Zhenjie Guishen Chapter has reached a new node.

Name: Turtle and Snake Trading.

Progress: 690.

Status: Breaking the limit of 59 stages.

Description: The tortoise and the snake intersect with Yuanshou, and Beigong Xuanwu Yisheng.

"Whether to consume gold coins in the status bar to increase the practice progress of the Xuanwu Zhenjie Turtle and Snake Chapter."

Seeing the line of handwriting reappear in front of him, and feeling the increasingly complicated and unspeakable blood network in his body, Wei Tao couldn't help feeling emotional, and at the same time aroused strong curiosity.

I want to know if there will be new changes after reaching the [-]th stage of breaking the limit.

Moreover, the handwriting this time also did not specify the consumption of one gold coin, so it means that if you want to upgrade to the [-]th rank, at least the same as when you broke through the [-]th rank, you need at least two gold coins to start, and there may even be more.

However, he still has four gold coins left, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

Without much hesitation, he directly chose yes.

Swish!
The status bar suddenly blurred, accompanied by three beeps.

The number of gold coins decreased by three in an instant.

The next moment, a mysterious aura descended suddenly.

It poured into the body like a tide.

"This feeling……"

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly, and almost cried out in pain at this moment.

However, he couldn't make it out after all.

Because when the transformation started, a mysterious spiritual meaning that had never been seen before came at the same time, making him involuntarily immersed in it, and even forgot the unbearable pain of the blood circulation.

In Wei Tao's perception, he seemed to be rising constantly, and would soon touch the ceiling of the practice room.

But unexpectedly, the solid and heavy roof did not hinder him in any way.

He went straight through it and continued to climb upwards.

Everything under him was blurred, and even the starry sky above his head, which should have existed, became hazy.

At this moment, Wei Tao saw a stone wall.

Appeared without warning, strangely lying above the head.

Almost all of his field of vision was occupied.

The dark black wall surface is also engraved with complicated patterns, giving people an ancient and distant feeling.

Looking carefully, some of the lines even made Wei Tao feel inexplicably familiar.

In addition, he also faintly smelled a faint smell of death, which escaped from the wall.

As if it were a corpse, floating in the dark depths, slowly decomposing.

"This line of lines seems to be somewhat similar to the blood network in my body."

Wei Tao's thoughts moved slightly, and suddenly there was another flower in front of him.

At this moment, his field of vision expanded rapidly, and he didn't know whether it was the black stone wall covering his head that was shrinking, or his body was growing endlessly.

Finally, he saw the whole picture of it, and his mind was suddenly disturbed.

It was like a spark falling into a pan of oil, instantly causing a fire that could detonate all spiritual consciousness.

boom!
In just a short moment, everything disappeared into the invisible.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment, and found that he was still sitting cross-legged in the practice room, with the roof above his head unchanged, not moving at all.

It seemed that the encounter that had just come without warning and gone without a sound was just a dream.

Now that I wake up from the dream, everything is back to the original point.

There was only a splitting headache, as if the skull had been split open, and something went deep into it and kept stirring.

There is also an inexplicable depression floating in Wei Tao's heart.

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his expression looked a little puzzled.

"The wall that blocked perception just now turned out to be a piece of black turtle shell."

"There is also the last thing I saw in a flash. If I hadn't been dazzled, it should be the mysterious tortoise cultivating the snake, and it is also a turtle and snake exuding a strong dead air."

Wei Tao slowly adjusted his breathing while calming down his chaotic thoughts.

In the status bar, there is only one gold coin left.

As for the interface of the Turtle and Snake Chapter, there have also been new changes.

Name: Turtle and Snake Trading.

Progress: [-] percent.

Status: Breaking the limit of sixty paragraphs.

Description: The tortoise and the snake intersect with Yuanshou, and Beigong Xuanwu Yisheng.

Wei Tao stared at the last line of description with some ecstasy. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed, "According to what I saw, the corpses of the mysterious tortoise and snake cultivator stink. Where did the theory of Yuanshou come from?"

He stood up slowly, and once again made the Yuantai fist seal gesture.

The spirit and will are concentrated in one place, the true energy and blood circulate spontaneously, and a virtual image gradually emerges behind him.

But at the next moment, the virtual image that hadn't fully appeared disappeared directly.

Wei Tao stood there motionless, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if there was something unsolved lingering in his heart.

After a few breaths, he turned on the lamps embedded in the walls of the practice room, took out the crystal clear hairpin, and drew a stroke on his arm vigorously.

The dark golden color appeared on the skin automatically, blocking the sharp tip of the hairpin.

He had to deliberately restrain his energy and relax his body before he made a thin wound on his forearm, watching a stream of blood seep out of it and drip down his fingertips.

Under the bright light, the blood beads condensed on the floor of the practice room, and there was a faint faint golden light inside.

Wei Tao picked up a blood bead, put it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully.

You can even feel a sense of oppression that seems to be there.

"This strange feeling has never been experienced before. Could it be that the new change was brought about after breaking through to the [-]th stage of the turtle-snake crossing?"

"I have also practiced the Rengui chapter and the Qisu chapter to the limit-breaking stage, and the Qisu chapter has even reached the final stage, but it is far less intense than the changes brought about by the turtle and snake chapter breaking the limit.

As for the chapter of Mingyu, it has not been further cultivated and improved, and it is not yet known how effective it is, but according to the commentary written by Xuanwu Daoist, it seems that it cannot reach the height of the turtle and snake. "

"So, in the whole True Explanation of Xuanwu, the most basic one, and it can even be said to be the most important one for me.

As the saying goes, if the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake; if the foundation is not well laid, the tall buildings will be blown down by the wind, but now I have dug the foundation too deep, and I am afraid that if I step on it, I will fall to death. "

Wei Tao restrained his thoughts, his expression was peaceful and peaceful.

He cleaned up the ground, and slowly pushed open the heavy iron door of the practice room.

It was dawn at this time, and the eastern sky lit up with fish-belly white and a touch of gold, eager to break through the clouds.

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the cold and fresh air, and was about to walk out of the yard when he suddenly remembered that there was still one gold coin lying in the status bar, so he immediately returned to the practice room and closed the door again.

After half an hour, the status bar was consumed again.

After the Xuanwu Zhenjie Rengui Chapter was upgraded to 120 progress, breaking the limit of the second stage, he stepped out of the Green Bamboo Garden where he had stayed all night, and walked slowly towards the outside.

"I saw the ladyboy, and the ladyboy saw me."

"The man came from north to south, and the next stop should be Qizhou Fucheng."

Wei Tao climbed up the stone slope outside Qingfeng Temple and looked northward.

Li Kun came nearby, "Breakfast is ready, if Daozi wants to enjoy the scenery, I will let them deliver the food."

Just as Wei Tao was about to speak, his eyebrows twitched suddenly.

He turned slowly, facing south.

At this moment, a great sun rises slowly, shining light on the earth.

The surface of the Luoshui River is sparkling, looking from a distance like a long and narrow mirror, perfectly inlaid in the middle of the black soil and white snow.

In Wei Tao's gaze, the scene that he had seen countless times at the beginning seemed to have changed, turning into a fresh and pleasant picture scroll.

The sun is rising and the water is rippling.

Among them, green lotuses are blooming, and a boat with leaves is going upstream.

Wei Tao exhaled lightly, looking at the small boats in the Luoshui River and the phantom blue lotus quietly appearing on the water surface and then disappearing silently. He felt inexplicably out of space and time.

It seems that this is not Qizhou in the north, which is windy and snowy, but a southern water town with a mild climate and beautiful scenery.

Even the morning breeze blowing over the stone hill seems to have turned into a spring breeze full of vitality and smoky.

And all of this comes from the people on board.

A man in green shirt stands quietly on the bow of the boat, crossing without oars, with a relaxed posture and an indifferent expression.

He also turned his head slowly at this time, his gaze pierced through the void and landed on the stone slope outside Qingfeng Guanmen.

The eyes of the two collided head-on, and immediately intertwined, almost indistinguishable from each other.

"Daozi?" Li Kun instinctively felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, but he didn't realize where the source came from.

Wei Tao lowered his eyes, with an inexplicable and strange expression on his face, "I haven't figured out how to find that monster, but I met a monster."

(End of this chapter)
