Cultivation starts with time management

Chapter 2 The Secret Valley in the Mountains

Yaks graze grass.

An Zhisu stroked its simple and honest head, then took out a handful of barley and handed it over, the yak stretched out its head meekly, and chewed the barley into its mouth.

Ling Yunpo watched boredly from the side.

Although it was "cleaning up the remnants on the southern edge of the plateau", he himself had already prepared himself for not being able to catch the enemy for two or three days, but he hadn't encountered anyone for six or seven days in a row. accept.

You can't really come to travel, can you?

My senior sister and I have not yet formed a Taoist couple, so we will spend our honeymoon in advance, what a loss!

Strange to say, when An Zhisu was assigned to the southern edge at first, he was a little bit sorry, but Ling Yunpo was relieved.

Now that he hadn't encountered the enemy for six or seven days, Ling Yunpo became impatient, but An Zhisu calmed down strangely, and began to travel around the mountains and rivers, enjoying himself.

Of course, the plateau scenery is also very beautiful, especially the endless blue sky, which can bring people a feeling of openness.

It would be even better if Qiu Changtian didn't see this kind of scenery in Kunlun.

An Zhisu was born in Yangzhou and lived in Sichuan and Sichuan. She seldom goes out for training, but enjoys such a magnificent scenery. Although Ling Yunpo is bored, for the sake of his senior sister, he patiently plays with her.

After feeding the yaks, Senior Sister An pointed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said with great interest:

"Junior Brother, shall we go to the top of the mountain to have a look?"

"Okay, okay." Ling Yunpo responded with a doting face.

The snow-capped mountain in the distance seemed to be the highest mountain around, so the two of them rose up with their swords and quickly flew towards the snow-capped mountain.

Since the plateau itself was close to the sky, the two continued to climb higher. In the oncoming sky wind, the whispering voice of the demon gradually came, which was like a dream, bewitching people's hearts, and hard to guard against.

As Qiu Changtian, every time he went to Kunlun Tianzhu, he could hear similar words from heavenly demons. Therefore, even if Ling Yunpo didn't have a clear heart, he was already prepared and guarded his mind.

After all, An Zhisu had condensed the flow of love, and at this time, she also guarded her mind, meditating on the appearance and words of her junior, and suddenly felt that her chest was filled with endless positive emotions, and the bewitching voice of the demon could not be heard at all.

Among the three major schools, if it is not for the shortcoming of having a lover, the bonus effect in terms of mood is actually higher than that of Wangqingliu and Unfeelingliu.

The two carefully resisted the whispers of the demon, passed through the clouds and snow mixed with ice particles, and finally landed on the top of the snow peak.

The peak here is a huge plateau without a single stone on it, as flat as if it had been run over by a road roller.

An Zhisu became playful, and walked gracefully on the top of the peak with her hands behind her back, walking around the edge, as if measuring the area with her steps.

Ling Yunpo watched from the side, thinking that the senior sister actually has such a girlish side, which is really impressive.

"Huh?" Kunlun Mirror said suddenly.

"What's the matter, Ah Jing?" Ling Yunpo smiled triumphantly, "Isn't it the first time you see such a cute senior sister? Don't be jealous, study hard, you can be so cute..."

"Who is talking about your Senior Sister An?" Kunlun Mirror said angrily, "I mean there is an illusion on the top of the mountain! A large illusion, understand? Do you only see women?"

"Pay attention to your tone of voice, Ah Jing!" Ling Yunpo pondered, "Illusion? What kind of illusion?"

"Of course it's the flat mountain top you saw." Kunlun Mirror replied, "There is actually a sunken mountain pass on this mountain top, but the illusion has completely covered the mountain pass... Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Ling Yunpo didn't agree immediately, but thought about it and said:

"Why would someone cover the mountain pass with illusions?"

"I don't know." The Kunlun Mirror replied, "I have no impression of this place. I don't think it was built in ancient times... It seems to be a product of the end of ancient times, early ancient times."

"Then let's undo the illusion." Ling Yunpo suddenly became interested, "I want to explore this mountain pass with my senior sister!"

The Kunlun Mirror lost its sound, but soon the top of the mountain trembled violently.

Seeing that the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed inch by inch, Ling Yunpo hastily pulled out his Wanzhu sword to stabilize his falling body.

He continued to look forward, only to see An Zhisu flying back with a cold sword on his feet, and said with a smile:

"Unexpectedly, inside the mountain here, there is a hole in the sky."

"Senior sister, let's go down and have a look?" Ling Yunpo suggested.

"That's natural." An Zhisu nodded in response.

The two stepped on their swords and circled down, and they saw seven pagodas built along the cliff in the depths of the mountain.

The overall pagoda is in the style of the Central Plains, but it has absorbed the characteristics of the plateau in many places, such as the wind chimes with engraved inscriptions on the corners of the eaves, and the complicated and obscure Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls.

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu landed on a certain platform, and then entered the tower along the arcade.

Circling down the stairs, you can see a large number of embedded caves in the walls on both sides.

In each cave, there is a mummy wearing cassock, all of them are extremely hideous, some opening their mouths, baring their teeth, or staring, making people palpitate uncontrollably.

An Zhisu looked carefully and said:

"These monks seem to have been invaded by heavenly demons, and their spirit and blood were swept away to death."

"En." Ling Yunpo also nodded, "There is no injury in the whole body, the physical body is decaying, and the appearance is haggard, and this can only be the reason."

"It's strange." An Zhisu said puzzledly, "Since their death patterns are neat and tidy, it means that they may have suddenly encountered a demon invasion and died at the same time when they were meditating together."

"Well, it's normal for a single monk to have a flaw in his state of mind and become obsessed." Ling Yunpo also noticed that something was wrong, "so many people were invaded by the demon at the same time, this cannot be explained by insanity...it should be their collective It was calculated."

As for what was calculated, I don't know.

Since Nuwa's mend the sky, the demons have been unable to swarm the underground world in groups, and can only occasionally seize rare opportunities to invade alone—such as being summoned by the demon Tao with sacrifices.

However, although An Zhisu didn't know, Wei Dongliu had learned a lot of demon teaching techniques from the stone statues, and he also knew that there were indeed some secret techniques on the Heavenly Demon Way, which could summon extremely powerful demons.

If it is a demon king level demon, it may be possible to prey all of these monks in an instant.

The two walked and watched until they finally reached the bottom of the tower, and then left the tower, and saw a large number of corpses lying on the ground in the center surrounded by the seven towers.

Different from those corpses whose life and blood had been taken away, the corpses here were all charred and carbonized, obviously burnt to death by some extremely powerful fire magic.

In the center surrounded by charred corpses is a simple lampstand.

The lampstand is empty, but underneath it is engraved with vertical characters in Sanskrit.

Ling Yunpo carefully identified it, and saw that the Sanskrit interpretation was clearly:

Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp.

Chapter 3 The Immortal Sword of Ten Thousand Phases

At this time, faced with so many clues at the scene, the experienced Ling Yunpo had basically guessed in his heart.

It seems that these monks gather here to collectively practice some kind of secret method with great hidden dangers (after all, they are all sitting in the cave), and they rely on the Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp to keep their minds and not be disturbed by the invasion of heavenly demons.

As a result, just like Zhuge Liang continued his life, at the most critical moment, he encountered an unexpected change:

The demons of the Jinwu clan invaded here, used fire magic to kill the monks guarding the glazed lamp, and stole the glazed lamp.

The most valuable effect of the glazed lamp itself is that it can illuminate the vast world with a little bit of brilliant glazed fire, making many evil spirits invisible—the evil spirits here also include the celestial demons who are known for their invisibility.

The sudden loss of the protection of the glazed lamp led to the collective killing of the monks by the demons.

As for this Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp, it was taken to the Eastern Emperor's Realm by Jinwu and hid in the secret room of Fusang Shenmu, and its whereabouts were unknown after the Jinwu clan lost their land.

In the end, it was excavated by Longlong and Longhu and reappeared.

In this way, many clues are connected in series.

Leaving aside the matter of hiding from the Eastern Emperor's Realm, Ling Yunpo shared this conjecture with An Zhisu.

Of course, without knowing that the Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp is located in the Fusang Shenmu in the Eastern Emperor's Realm, Ling Yunpo's conjectures are just conjectures without sufficient evidence.For example, how can it be proved that this fire magic technique was released by the lamp-stealing monster?

Couldn't it be released by a human monk?Or was it released by magic weapons?Was it even caused by the monks practicing secret techniques out of control?

But An Zhisu wasn't that wary of his junior brother, Ling Yunpo made serious analysis on her side, but she just nodded and passed on.

"According to this conjecture, this place should have been a Buddhist resident, and there is little chance of traps." Ling Yunpo finally concluded, "Next, why don't we search separately to see if we can find some more useful information? .”

"Alright." An Zhisu agreed.Anyway, they are all in the same valley after all, and if something happens, temporary support will be in time.

So Ling Yunpo chose another pagoda, and stepped into it alone.

Unlike the previous pagoda, there are no monks in this pagoda, but many alms bowls are placed instead.

Um, alms bowl?

Ling Yunpo suddenly remembered that when he was looking for the Feiyan Sword for Senior Sister An and found Jinao Island in the South China Sea, he had entered a Buddhist temple.

In the Buddhist temple, there is a monster dressed as a monk. Although his cultivation level is extremely high, he firmly guards the prisoner's hall in the rear and does not leave.

And in the Prisoner's Palace, there are countless statues of Arhats holding bowls in their hands.

In each alms bowl, there is a demon imprisoned.

At that time, Wei Dongliu's knowledge might not have been enough, but Ling Yunpo has already known that this Temple of Prisoner Devil is the handiwork of the Western religion, the predecessor of Buddhism.

In ancient times, there were two famous leaders of the Western religion. What they liked to do most was to use the name of "You and I have a destiny in the West" to force all kinds of demons or heretics into their sects, and then ordered them to become disciples of those sects. Unwilling chores.

The Buddhist temple on Jin'ao Island in the South China Sea, as the place where the Western religion imprisoned the demons, was arranged to be guarded by demons who had converted to Buddhism.

Then, if the mountain pass pagoda on the edge of the plateau here is said to be a "demon cage" similar to Jin'ao Island, and it is also guarded by Buddhist demons, it is logically reasonable.

Considering that there are Buddhist treasures such as Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp guarding here, it shows that the demons it guards are much more dangerous than Jinao Island.

However, the so-called thousands of calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations.Although Jin'ao Island is not guarded by Buddhist treasures, there are loyal Buddhist candle demons guarding it, so that even though the Western religion no longer exists, the demons in it still haven't escaped too much.

Although Dongfang Guangjing glazed lamp suppressed it here, it was probably because the Golden Crow Demon in charge of guarding rebelled, resulting in the death of all the garrison monks, and the imprisoned demons also ran away completely.

Ling Yunpo made some guesses like this, and then went to check those bowls, and sure enough, all of them were broken from the inside.

Continuing down the corridor, Ling Yunpo intends to take a closer look at the Buddha statues around him, and see how they differ from the Buddha statues in the Prisoner's Temple on Jin'ao Island.

As a result, when they came to the end, they saw that the stone wall there had been broken, exposing the cave behind.

The entrance of the cave was covered by a thick black mist, unable to penetrate light, air and sound, and it was unknown what was hidden behind it.

After careful identification, Ling Yunpo found that the thick fog was made of the energy of the demon.

This qi is also called "desire qi", which is transformed by the refined seven emotions and six desires. Once a monk is contaminated with a little bit, his Taoist heart will immediately collapse, and he will fall into a state of ecstasy, ecstasy or rage, unable to extricate himself.

There are not no ways to crack it, but most of them need the support of the corresponding level. Of course, there are more tricky methods, such as using the Dao Heart to be transparent and immune, using the Chaos Demon Body to charge, or directly asking Ah Jing and Qingping to help...

"A Jing, scan!" Ling Yunpo commanded skillfully.

The Kunlun Mirror scanned for a moment and replied:

"There is a mummy inside, which was sucked out of blood and died."

"That's it?" Ling Yunpo asked dissatisfiedly, "Is there no storage bag on the corpse?"

"No." Kunlun Mirror said lightly, "There is only one flying sword."

"Flying sword?" Ling Yunpo pondered for a moment, then said to Qingpingjian, "Bring me that flying sword."

"Okay." The Qingping sword shot out and disappeared into the thick fog.

Almost at the same time, the sound of violent gold and iron clashing sounded like machine guns.

"Heh!" Ling Yunpo's eyes lit up.

What kind of flying sword is able to fight back and forth with my Qingping?

In the next second, a black light shot out from the hole, as if trying to escape from the tower in an instant.

However, the other black light arrived first, smashing the front black light to the ground like a fly, directly smashing out a long dent.

Only now did Ling Yunpo see clearly, but it was a sawtooth sword with irregular edges, and its shape was quite simple.

"What sword is this?" He stretched out his hand to pick up the sword, only to see that the sword trembled suddenly, like a restless vicious dog, about to cut towards his right hand.

The Qingping sword shook again, and knocked it over to the ground again.

"The bitch just needs to clean up!" Qingpingjian said courteously, "Master Sword Master, don't worry about me, I will clean up this old antique for you."

"What kind of sword is this?" Ling Yun thought to himself that this sword is so unruly and unruly, it doesn't look like an ordinary sword.

"This sword is called Wanxiangjuexianjian, and there are three other brothers and sisters." Qingpingjian said with a smile, "The strength of the four swords in one can still be seen. Fighting alone is really nothing to worry about. Let me replace the sword master." My lord, teach this sword."

Ling Yunpo: ...

Huh, everything is in my expectation!
