Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu failed to escape from Yulan Temple after all.

One of his palms was cut off and he could only lie on the ground waiting to die.

Qi Xuansu watched Yanxiu's figure gradually disappear, turned over with difficulty, and turned to lie on his back. Then he raised the "Xuanyu" in his right hand to his eyes, and laughed at himself: "Is this considered a man-made money-killing bird?" Die for food?”

Soon, Qi Xuansu felt the mighty divine power falling from the sky.

Although all dead things were not affected in any way, this divine power wanted to destroy all life.

In the face of such divine power, even heavenly beings must be careful to deal with it. Even the banished immortals and Buddhist disciples in the Guizhen stage will die. What's more, Qi Xuansu, an innate person in the Kunlun stage, has almost no chance of survival. .

The next moment, blood-red light completely engulfed Qi Xuansu.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu felt that the flesh and blood all over his body began to peel off on its own, as if someone had poured green vitriol oil on his body, corroding it into his bones and cutting him into pieces with a thousand cuts.

Qi Xuansu's consciousness gradually blurred, but he still clenched the "Xuan Jade" in his hand.

In a semi-conscious state, Qi Xuansu recalled for no reason the feeling of being stabbed in the chest by the "Inn" assassin when he was facing life and death for the first time. He also recalled the feeling of walking alone in the world for the first time and having his throat almost slit.

Are you going to die?

Qi Xuansu completely fainted.

Then Qi Xuansu had another dream.

In his sleep, Qi Xuansu saw a mountain, which was still a familiar scene.

A very tall and dark mountain.

This time, Qi Xuansu did not need anyone else to lead the way. He climbed the mountain on his own along the rugged trail. The sound of howling wind came to his ears, and there was a woman's voice in the wind, which seemed to be murmuring or singing softly. The silk ribbons on the trees on both sides of the path are swaying in the wind, like countless arms dancing wildly. The path is covered with many petals, exuding a strange fragrance.

This time, there was no shout from the master, no whisper from Qiniang, and no woman leading the way.

He went directly to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain was still the same, a huge open space with a big fire in the middle.

The difference is that behind the fire stood ten tall figures, and the firelight reflected their shadows into long shadows.

These ten tall figures were shrouded in a layer of shadow that was so thick that it could not be broken away. Only a blurry outline could be seen, and only two points of blood-red light illuminated the position of the eyes.

Qi Xuansu did not expect that this dream would change and make new progress.

Although he knew that he was in a dream, he still felt chilled all over because these ten figures brought him great pressure, some were kind and some were hostile.

Then Qi Xuansu saw a maverick figure. Compared with the ten tall figures that looked like giants, the eleventh figure was very small, similar to Qi Xuansu. It seemed to appear out of thin air and was incompatible with this place.

She had no respect for this place, so she kicked the fire over and laughed with her hands on her hips.

The other ten figures frowned, displeased, scolded, and were silent. There are also some figures whose eyes flicker, with a hint of cunning.

After a while, the maverick figure seemed to feel a little bored, stopped laughing, and stepped aside. Then the fire reignited, illuminating the surrounding area.

The fire became brighter and brighter, making the surroundings appear darker. Eleven figures stood between the firelight and the darkness, and began to murmur.

After another moment, the whispering voice gradually became louder, as if it had traveled through the long and distant river of time and arrived in the present world. It made Qi Xuansu feel like he was actually there.

He opened his eyes wide and saw clearly the outlines of eleven figures, and at the same time felt the eleven figures exuding different auras: flood, fire, sky, earth, life, death, light, darkness, time, space, soul, Like eleven towering mountains.

At this moment, the ten figures gradually disappeared and retreated into the darkness, leaving only one figure walking forward into the firelight, revealing his true appearance.

Qi Xuansu finally saw the true appearance of this figure. She was actually a woman more than ten feet tall, wearing a linen robe, standing barefoot, with black hair like ink, hanging down to her calves, bright red skin, and strange paint on her face. There is a strange totem behind him that resembles a formation diagram, green as green as bamboo, with a bird body and a human face.

Qi Xuansu felt chilled all over and his hands and feet were cold.

He didn't know what it meant.

At this moment, this tall figure walked towards Qi Xuansu.

The originally dazzling fire suddenly disappeared, the fire was extinguished, and there was darkness between heaven and earth.

The ground under Qi Xuansu's feet shattered, and a hole appeared. Qi Xuansu fell uncontrollably, and was drowned by the blood that followed, leaving only a bright red as far as the eye could see.

…

The divine power like a river of blood enveloped Qi Xuansu, but it was continuously absorbed by the "Xuanyu" that Qi Xuansu held tightly. There were more and more fine blood threads in the "Xuanyu", and finally the "Xuanyu" was completely dyed from a touch of green. It became blood red.

At the same time, "Xuanyu" is also constantly being completed, gradually changing from the initial crescent moon shape to the full moon shape.

At first glance, Qi Xuansu seemed to be holding a blood-red full moon in his hand.

It's a pity that no one can see this scene.

This piece of "mysterious jade" has been soaked in the power of incense and wish for many years and is already in a semi-open state. At this time, it was directly impacted by divine power and finally fully opened.

"Xuanyu" turned into a big cocoon and wrapped Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu's body gradually became transparent, and the blood, meridians, muscles, and skin gradually faded away, leaving only pieces of bones. At first glance, Qi Xuansu seemed to have turned into a skeleton.

Immediately afterwards, a series of bone breaking sounds came from Qi Xuansu's body, one after another, and the bones all over his body were slowly being crushed by an invisible force. Just hearing the sound makes people's hair stand on end, and the level of cruelty and terror is even worse than the various tortures of Qingluan Guard.

Then you can clearly see that another invisible force is born in Qi Xuansu's body, traveling quickly along specific veins, and the broken bones are restored to their original state under the nourishment of this invisible force.

This process goes over and over again, and each time it is reshaped, the bones become darker.

If Qi Xuansu is awake at this time, he will feel a numbness in the bones of his body first, then the numbness turns into itching, and finally the itching turns into excruciating pain, as if thousands of ants are gnawing at his bones. , straight into the bone marrow, difficult to describe in words.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for Qi Xuansu to bear this kind of pain that was even worse than Ling Chi's, but at this time, he was in the deepest dream and was completely unaware of it. He was just as motionless as a dead person.

After the bones are the meridians in the body. The eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve main meridians, and the limbs are reorganized. All the misalignments and entanglements are corrected one by one, and all the blockages are cleared one by one. It is comparable to cleansing the meridians and cutting the marrow. .

Then there were flesh and skin, many hidden wounds were completely healed, and even the scars on Qi Xuansu's body had disappeared. Now he wanted to show Zhang Yuelu the losses he had suffered back then, but he could no longer do so.

Qi Xuansu's severed left hand turned into a blood mass, constantly twisting, gradually changing into the shape of five fingers, and then shaping bones and meridians, then filling in flesh and blood, and finally giving birth to skin, turning into a brand new hand.

This scene is similar to the warrior's flesh-and-blood derived state, but the recovery speed is incomparable to the warrior in the Yuxu stage, and even has a speed that can only be achieved by a warrior from heaven.

After an unknown amount of time, it could be a day or less than an hour, Qi Xuansu faintly woke up and turned around.

When he opened his eyes, although everything outside was still blood red, the main hall had returned to normal. It could be seen that this mighty divine power was slowly receding like the ebb of the sea.

Qi Xuansu sat up and calmed down. He felt refreshed, the true energy in his body was flowing, and his bones were moistened. He seemed to have endless energy.

When he stood up again, he found that his body was much lighter. Even if he didn't rely on his true energy, he could still leap up to the rafters. This was something only a martial artist could do.

Qi Xuansu hurriedly closed his eyes to feel it, and then discovered a fact that shocked him extremely. He actually jumped from the Kunlun stage to the Yuxu stage, which is the Jade Cauldron realm of Sanren.

The jade cauldron realm is a step further than the inner alchemy realm where qi and blood are unified. It is for the essence, qi, and spirit to gather together in one orifice of the entrance and return to the original state, just like casting a jade cauldron. After stepping into the Jade Cauldron realm, if you are full of energy and don’t think about sexual intercourse, when you are full of energy and don’t think about food, and when you are full of spirit and don’t think about sleep, you can stop your pulse, stop your pulse, and live longer and longer.

This also means that Qi Xuansu can practice the two methods of Zhongcheng prescribed by the Taoist sect.

One is the "big grain technique", which is not very useful in fighting with others. Depending on the level of cultivation, it can greatly reduce one's own consumption, from one meal a day to one meal every three days, to eating wind and drinking dew, until not eating anymore .

One is the "Cicada Slaughter Technique" which was born out of the banished immortal's "false body for calamity". It can temporarily create a fake body to replace one's death. It is an extremely practical life-saving magical power.

But then, Qi Xuansu discovered another fact that shocked him even more. Because he was too focused on his own cultivation just now, he didn't notice that his left hand was back at the first time.

Qi Xuansu looked at his left hand, which was a bit whiter and tenderer than Zhang Yuelu, and didn't know how to explain himself. He remembered clearly that Yanxiu cut off his left hand with a knife. The pain was unforgettable and he couldn't remember it wrong.

But now the result is that his left hand has grown back intact, with fine skin and tender flesh, and no calluses. It must not have been grafted on.

Qi Xuansu immediately remembered the dream he had just had, and at the same time he saw the "Xuan Jade" in his hand that had changed greatly.

Let’s not talk about the dream.

The "mysterious jade" of the blood moon reminded Qi Xuansu of the bloody divine power, and he vaguely felt something

guess.

Did "Xuanyu" undergo some kind of change after encountering divine power, and then this change affected himself?

At this moment, the "Xuan Jade" in Qi Xuansu's hand shattered silently, turned into fine sand, and scattered on the ground.
