forget the river mirror

Chapter 9 Desolate Bloodline

Mirror Profound Realm.

The light marks on Lin Chuan's left face suddenly shattered, and bead-sized beads of sweat slid from his forehead. He just opened his eyes, breathing heavily like a fish that has landed on the shore.

"Brother!"

Jiang Luo, who had been guarding Lin Chuan all the time, quickly unfolded the bamboo slips, and released the four small emerald green characters of "withered wood in spring" composed of literary spirit, and began to circulate slowly around him.

The gentle breath seeped into Lin Chuan's body, restoring his almost exhausted physical strength.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired..."

Lin Chuan responded with a weak voice, and then fell down slowly, but halfway through the fall, he found that the direction was wrong, so he quickly changed the direction, and then fell into Jiang Luo's arms.

Qing Ying, who was still a little worried, rolled her eyes, rolled up the little monk with her big fluffy tail, and left the private room.

"Master...uncle, what are you doing!?"

The anxious little monk almost called out the "teacher's wife".

With a twist of her tail, Qingying pulled the little monk in front of her, patted his bald head angrily, and taught, "The next scene of you, a monk, is not suitable for you to watch."

It turned out that the little monk's hand felt good, so he put it up smoothly.

"Why are you like senior brother..."

Xuan Jing sighed resignedly, but did not dare to resist.

However, Lin Chuan in the private room was not as nasty as Qingying thought. He really lost his strength and fell asleep completely as soon as he fell down. Jiang Luo blushed and was about to push him away when he heard snoring and had no choice He closed the bamboo slips and contributed his precious knee pillow.

No one noticed that the diamond-shaped mirror that Lin Chuan had been hanging around his neck had slowly melted into his chest.

……

At the same time, on the top of the Zhaixing Building outside Yong'an City, the great master still sat on the stargazing platform with his back to the door, overlooking all living beings.

Deng Guoan in heavy basalt armor was standing behind him with a halberd in his hand. A snow-white hawk circled around the Panlong column and landed on his shoulder.

General Deng opened the letter scroll on the eagle's feet, his expression was fixed, and he said in a deep voice:

"A report from the army, the fluctuations in the sky mirror have intensified, and someone saw a blurry figure in the formation, suspected to be... the crazy Taoist Wu Tian."

When talking about Wu Tian, ​​General Deng obviously hesitated for a moment, but before the Grand Master could speak, he felt the void around him become thicker.

A round of golden Buddha's light melted the void like a scorching sun, and the great monk who was just about to take away the Xuanjing from Wuji Sect came out of the void with a compassionate smile.

【】The imprint representing the hexagram of Qian flickered, and an old Taoist priest with a whisk in his hand appeared silently in front of General Deng.

"Feng Xi Feng Xi returns to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix." With the crisp sound of the phoenix, the last old man in a Confucian robe also came to the Star Picking Tower.

When the three teachings were all present, the Grand Master said:
"The heavenly mirror will be shattered. From today onwards, no one among the three religions will have any more disputes. When the Kyushu is alive or dead, if I take action, it will not be considered a breach of my oath."

The voice of the Great Master was still youthful, full of vigor, but even the battle-tested Deng Anguo broke into a drop of cold sweat from the calm murderousness in those words.

"The teachings of the three religions are all for the salvation of sentient beings. Naturally, there will be no further flames of war at this critical juncture. It's just that Wuji..."

The great monk flattered with a compassionate face, but unfortunately he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Vald donkey, do you dare to call the suzerain by his name!?"

Layman Wangchen walked in directly from the observatory. You must know that even Deng Anguo, the great general who protects the country, has never seen the true face of the Great Master.

"Yaoguang! Don't be rude!"

Although the old man in the Confucian robe couldn't understand the great monk's hypocritical appearance, he had no choice but to reprimand him.

Wangchen didn't speak, but directly showed the carving knife, and said in a cold voice: "You deserve to call me Yaoguang? If you say one more word, I will carve "Xiangshu" on your face."

The atmosphere in the room fell to a freezing point, and the war was about to break out.

The great master who couldn't see it anymore waved his sleeves and brought everyone into the void, even the old Taoist priest who had been sleeping since entering the door was imprisoned in the darkness.

"Okay, the sky mirror will be shattered, and the disaster will affect Kyushu, and there will be eggs under the nest? I called you here to tell you that I can take action. If you can't let go of your hatred, I can help you let go."

All the people present were old foxes, none of the leaders of the three religions came in person, and even the ancestor Wuji was unwilling to face the Great Master, so they naturally knew what the Great Master said "let go".

"Go back and tell those old immortals that I don't mind scouting the way for the souls of the Nine Provinces, and I don't mind sending a certain sect on the road first."

As the Great Master's voice fell, the darkness suddenly shattered, and everyone, including General Deng, was thrown out of the Star Picking Tower.

Wangchen didn't say anything, he just stepped into the sky, followed by the disgraced old Confucian scholar.

The great monk politely bowed to everyone, and then walked into the Buddha's light.

The old Taoist yawned, and disappeared without a trace with a flick of the fly whisk. If he hadn't been concerned about the Great Master, he wouldn't have bothered to come here. If he had this time, he might as well meditate for a while. Taoism seeks longevity, not ordinary life.

According to the words of today's Taoist master: "It's none of my business."

Outside the Zhaixing Building, only General Deng was left, staring at the sky in a daze...

……

……

Lin Chuan slept from noon to evening, and he didn't wake up until the sun set and the three bright moons hung high.

"water……"

Hearing Lin Chuan's hoarse voice, Jiang Luo, who was practicing, quickly poured him a cup of refreshing tea.

"Senior brother... You should stay at Wenqu Peak for the next few days. Zhang Fengnian is bad today, and it will be safer with my master taking care of you."

Jiang Luo hesitated for a while, but did not ask Lin Chuan why he was out of strength, but suggested that he come to Wenqu Peak to stay for a few days.

Both she and the little monk knew that Lin Chuan had the habit of talking to himself, but as long as Lin Chuan didn't take the initiative to explain, they wouldn't ask. They could become the closed disciples of the three ancestors, and each of them had secrets that no one knew about. .

"Forget it, your master is too scary, I'm afraid I won't survive the day when the secret realm opens..."

Every time Lin Chuan thought of the charming face of Layman Wangchen, the hairs on his back would stand up uncontrollably.

Crazy Taoist Lord, Demon Buddha, and Yaoru Ji are the names of their masters in Kyushu. The three were originally the leaders of the three major sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but for some reason they betrayed the sect together and came to Wuji Zong.

Although the sect would not publicize it, but after living in the Wuji Sect for eight years, Lin Chuan was very aware of the danger of Yaoruji. These three words alone can make children dare not cry at night in Zhongzhou.

"As long as you know what's in your mind..."

Jiang Luo replied helplessly, and found that Lin Chuan was lying down on her lap again and started to be dazed, so she blushed and grabbed his ear and pulled him up. My senior brother is shameless, as long as he has a good face , he will become more and more presumptuous.

But this time Jiang Luo really misunderstood Lin Chuan. He was just worried about Xiao Zuo's safety and called Xiao Zuo in his mind.

It's a pity that Xiao Zuo didn't respond. Lin Chuan, who was pulled up, gave a bitter smile. Instead of flattering Jiang Luo with a playful smile as usual, he got up and walked out with heavy steps:
"Thank you junior sister today, let's go back to the sect."

Jiang Luo felt Lin Chuan's changes very keenly, and didn't speak again, but followed behind him silently. After going out, Lin Chuan paused, and went back to the lobby, ordering a pot of Zhuoxian old wine, Put it in your arms.

All the way without talking, when they approached the sect, they met Xuan Jing and Qing Ying.

The poor little monk was covered with all kinds of bags and held two candied haws in his hand.

Qingying, who was too lazy to walk, directly turned into the main body, and turned into a cute squirrel sitting on the shoulder of the little monk. From time to time, he picked out a few nuts from the bag with his tail and threw them into his mouth. When he was tired of eating, he patted them with his tail. Xuan Jing's little bald head, the sensible little monk will immediately deliver candied haws to her mouth.

"Brother..."

Seeing Lin Chuan, the little monk almost burst into tears, and he didn't know how much he had been wronged this afternoon.

Lin Chuan was also helpless, Qingying's seniority was there, so he could only rub the little monk's head, changed the topic, and asked Xiao Zuo about purifying the spiritual energy:
"Does the Buddhist sect have any formulas that can purify spiritual power? I have a friend whose spiritual energy is mixed with some disgusting breath."

Before the little monk could speak, Qing Ying jumped off his shoulders, turned into a loli, and said with a serious expression:

"The spiritual energy of Kyushu all comes from those three big stars. Only the demonic energy on the demonic soil outside the cracked sky can be annoying. Is your friend a human or a demon!?"

Lin Chuan fell silent. He didn't mention Xiao Zuo's matter to anyone. Maybe Wu Tian might have some guesses, but he never brought it up.

Qingying also found that she was a little too excited, and after calming down, she continued:

"Do you know why I haven't spoken to you in the past two years? It's because Old Wu is worried that my evil spirit will affect your heart... Xiao Chuan, like your master, you have the blood of desolation, and you are born You can absorb demonic energy for your own use, but whether it is magical energy or spiritual energy, the essence is energy. The so-called purification is only to improve the purity of spiritual energy, and will not change the essence of spiritual energy. As long as you can abide by your heart, you don't need to care about it. "

After finishing speaking, Qingying melted into the darkness before Lin Chuan asked.

Lin Chuan could only turn his suspicious eyes to Jiang Luo. According to Xiao Zuo, his junior sister Luo is an encyclopedia, and there is almost nothing in this world that she doesn't know.

Jiang Luo, who had been silent all this time, sighed, and explained with some concern:
"Senior brother, Huang Lun is an ancient blood successor. It ranks second with the Immortal Physique of Absolute Beginning in the Eucharist List listed by the Supervisory Division. It is called the Ancient Demon Physique by the world. Whenever it is born, it means blood and blood. For thousands of years in Kyushu, There are only two recorded ancient demon bodies, one is Qin Wusheng, the founding emperor of Great Qin Dynasty, and the other is your master..."

Lin Chuan smacked his mouth, and raised his head narcissistically: "Tsk, so I'm so talented..." But he quickly reacted, and said with a look of horror:

"No! So... Could it be that I am the illegitimate son of old Wutou?"

Jiang Luo rolled his eyes, and suddenly lost interest in speaking.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Xuan Jing tapped the Buddhist beads on his wrist, put away all his bags, and took a hand-copied scripture from the Buddhist beads and handed it to Lin Chuan.

"Senior brother, the ancient blood inheritance will not be inherited. It can only be said that you and Uncle Wu may have the same ancestor. This is my handwritten mantra for purifying the heart. It is enough to recite it from time to time. Even if you don't enter Buddhism, you can calm your mind."

"Okay, then I'll go to Lao Huang to get acquainted with the changes after Jue Ling."

Lin Chuan was thinking about Xiao Zuo in his heart, took the scriptures, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked straight to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The little monk and Jiang Luo looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. They both knew that the senior brother was deliberately pretending to be free and easy, but there was nothing he could do.

……

"Brother, please stay."

Before Lin Chuan stepped into the bamboo forest, he was stopped. That little fatty Liu Zheng jumped out of the grass by the side of the road, saluted him respectfully, and said straight to the point:

"Zhang Fengnian intends to send a battle card to his senior brother before the opening of the secret realm. For the sake of the quota in the beginningless secret realm, Zhang Fengnian has not broken through the sea of ​​​​qi, and his actual combat power has already reached the limit of the spiritual realm. Senior brother, please be careful of his two handles. Flying sword."

Lin Chuan sized him up curiously, and asked calmly, "Why did you tell me?"

Liu Zheng bowed a little lower, and said sincerely: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and the senior brother has no hindrance to his immortal journey. In the future, he will need someone to take care of trivial matters. Liu Zheng is not talented, but he is willing to be filial to the senior brother." labor."

"But you can betray Zhang Fengnian today, and you can betray me tomorrow, why should I keep you by my side?"

Lin Chuan became more and more interested in this little fat man.

Liu Zheng got up slowly, and smiled bitterly:
"My father gave me this name. He is obviously just a hawker who steams steamed buns, but he always talks about not steaming steamed buns. He said that if I choose the word 'competition', it will cost me my whole life." Not weaker than others, but in the end I was run over to death by a horse-drawn carriage just because I blocked the way of the powerful. I walked all the way from Yuncheng to Shubian City, and entered the Wuji School, in order to be able to stand out one day.

But I have no talent and no power, so I can only choose a wise master. If I want to reach the highest step by step, and strive to reach the highest level, I must learn to judge the situation, so as long as the seniors have confidence in the battle for the fairy road, they will survive forever. If you are not weaker than others, then I, Liu Zheng, will be your most loyal eagle dog. "

The little fat man didn't show his loyalty, but Lin Chuan had no reason to reject him.

"Interesting, this is a wound medicine, it can be taken internally or externally."

Lin Chuan didn't give him a clear answer, but just threw a bottle of wound medicine to him, and then turned and went into the bamboo forest. This little fat man is very interesting, it doesn't matter whether what he said is true or not, according to Xiao Zuo's words , life needs interesting people to embellish.

So Lin Chuan is looking forward to the day when Liu Zheng will reach the highest level step by step, and he is also very curious about how Liu Zheng found out that he has become spiritual...

……

Back Mountain Bamboo Forest.

The evening wind turned the scriptures thrown by Lin Chuan on the bluestone, and also blew down the bamboo leaves all over the sky.

Lin Chuan swung Xinghe one after another, wanting to cut off all those worries about Xiao Zuo with Xinghe's sharp blade.

"Boy, why didn't you bring wine here today?"

Poor old Huangyan waited anxiously for a long time, but found that Lin Chuan had no intention of speaking, so he could only lower his face and ask.

Lin Chuan inserted Xinghe on the ground, took out the jug from his arms, raised his chin and poured a big gulp into his mouth, then threw the jug to Lao Huang:

"I'm in a bad mood, everyone is worried about me, saying I'm a monster, worried that I will become a lunatic who can only kill, everyone tells me to abide by my heart, I don't know what my heart is ...And I've grown up so much, I've never killed anyone, if you say stick to your heart, Xiao Zuo... Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Lin Chuan subconsciously mentioned Xiao Zuo, and immediately stopped talking when he realized it.

Lao Huang shook the jug with some distress. Just now Lin Chuan spilled a lot of it, which was simply reckless... After he took a sip carefully, he lay down on the bluestone comfortably, and said slowly:
"That old lunatic in your family is also the Demon Physique of Absolute Beginning, isn't he living well now, he just eats salty radish and doesn't worry about it, but it still surprises me that you can awaken your spirit so quickly.

It took the old maniac 5 years to realize his spirit before he finally dared to face that fear, so the blood of Huanglu is not so rare, but most people can't realize their spirit in their lifetime, so you don't have to worry about it, as long as you can feel your spirit It means that you can control your killing intent. "

Lin Chuan was a little puzzled by Lao Huang's completely different statement. He quickly pressed the flagon that Lao Huang was about to bring to his mouth, and asked:
"Then why are they all worried about me?"

"Because you are still too young and prone to impulsiveness, most of the time, the impact of the desolate bloodline on you is just a little more evil, but once you completely lose your mind due to certain stimuli, it has been sleeping in your body since the beginning of time. The demon will be released, the last time the old lunatic went crazy in the demon soil and directly slaughtered a demon city, I heard that all the earthworms in the ground were pulled out by him and chopped up vertically."

After Lao Huang finished speaking, he quickly grabbed the jug, took a big sip contentedly, then smashed his mouth and continued:

"Every time I go crazy, the blood of Huang Lun will awaken one level. Legend has it that if you can still maintain your original heart after reaching the ninth level, the demon body of the primordial beginning will completely transform into the body of killing heaven, which can traverse the ages. But even if it is an old lunatic, he is awakening After reaching the seventh floor, you have started to cultivate your body and mind, so you should be a second-generation ancestor honestly, and you don’t have any ambitions anyway.”

After listening to Lao Huang's explanation, Lin Chuan finally understood his physique, but he had secretly remembered the matter of Lao Huang talking about an old lunatic, and he would have to sue his master when he came back...

While thinking, Lin Chuan walked over and pulled out Xinghe, and then practiced.

Although he is still worried about Xiao Zuo, but the Beginningless Secret Realm is about to open in 5 days, Zhang Fengnian is definitely not willing to give up the spot, and there will definitely be a vicious battle at that time.

According to what Liu Zheng said, there was almost a whole difference between the Jue Ling himself and Zhang Fengnian at the peak of Jue Ling. If he wanted to win, the last few days must not be wasted.

"Don't practice swords when you are upset. You are not a pure martial artist. For the sake of your good wine, the old man will teach you a good lesson today."

Lao Huang put the jug aside, picked up the Xinghe in Lin Chuan's hand with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly:
"The state is the way, the moves are the law, the way is natural, and it is the foundation of defeating the enemy. Swinging a knife is nothing more than vertical chopping and horizontal chopping. If the old madman is not here, you can't learn the Taoist method, so learn a horizontal chopping trick from the old man."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lao Huang holding a saber flower, and the crimson streamer immediately spread to the cracks on Xinghe Dao's body.

In an instant, the galaxy shattered directly, and the broken blade rolled up the falling bamboo leaves, turning into a cluster of bright nebula, shattering the void around the two of them in an instant.

The pure darkness in the void was rolled out by the broken blade, just like in a landscape painting, a circle of elongated pixels suddenly appeared.

"Fuck!"

Lin Chuan really couldn't find any words to describe the shock in his heart, so he could only express his excitement concisely like the second bald man.

At this time, Lin Chuan was extremely regretful. He always asked Xiao Zuo to come out to help him in class, otherwise he would not be "however I am uneducated, and I will walk the world with a single word."

Lao Huang was very satisfied with Lin Chuan's shocked expression, and proudly waved the handle of Xinghe's knife, and the group of bright blade fragments that shattered the void reorganized into a blade like a tired bird returning to its nest.

After pretending to be big...cough...after being an expert, Lao Huang threw Xinghe into Lin Chuan's arms, then lay down on the bluestone again, and sang a ditty while drinking.

Lin Chuan excitedly poured spiritual energy into the galaxy, and the light blue light soon filled the cracks on the knife, but before Lin Chuan swung the knife, the fragments that had just split were scattered all over the ground...

Xinghe, pawn.

If this is against people, it is purely self-defeating weapons.

However, Lin Chuan was not discouraged. As long as he had a direction, no matter how far the destination was, he would definitely be able to reach it.

Poor Xinghe is like this, spent the night between being broken and recast, that is to say, Xinghe can't speak, otherwise he would have to complain about Lin Chuan:

You are amazing, you are noble, you really hurt me if you have something to do.

……

Dawn.

Lin Chuan was finally able to swing the shattered Xinghe to make a complete cut. Although it was not up to the level of Lao Huang's shattered void, it also left a deep mark on the bluestone.

It's just that the nebula that he cut out almost fell on Lao Huang.

Lin Chuan ran away without saying a word, and when he approached the other courtyard, he suddenly stopped. He finally heard Xiao Zuo's voice:

"I survived."

After a while, Lin Chuan responded:
"It's good to be alive... Are you safe now?"

"Not yet, but it's not a big problem. First, check your mirror for any changes. Also, in your opinion, what is the essence of spiritual power? Or what is the most basic unit of spiritual power?"

After speaking, Lin Chuan found that his voice was a little choked, but the sadness was quickly dispersed by Xiao Zuo's bunch of questions.

Regardless of other things, when he heard the mirror, Lin Chuan quickly opened his skirt, and found that the mirror hanging around his neck since he could remember had turned into a diamond-shaped imprint on his right chest.

That is, at the moment when he felt the imprint, Lin Chuan also found that he had an additional ability, which seemed to be innate, to store things.

"Is your mirror also turned into a mark? I can feel that I have an extra ability to access things with a volume of no more than 1 cubic meter, which is similar to a magic weapon for storage. Is it the same for you?"

Lin Chuan and Xiao Zuo have studied each other's small diamond-shaped mirrors for a long time, and they both think that this mirror is the reason why they can communicate with each other, so they are very concerned about the changes in the mirror.

Xiao Zuo: "Well, but the ability I obtained is one-time, and it can endow things with wisdom and civilization. That's why I asked you what the essence of aura is. If I can endow aura with energy, then I will probably create a world that belongs to My microcosm."

"Then why is my ability stretching my hips so much..."

Lin Chuan felt that it was very unfair. Although the storage magic weapon is also very precious, it is still very easy to get one in his capacity. Xuanjing's Buddhist beads and Jiang Luo's bamboo slips are all storage magic weapons, but because they have not been used before. He can feel the spirit, so the master didn't prepare for him.

However, Lin Chuan seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and directly put Xinghe into the imprint, and asked eagerly, "Can you feel something in the imprint now?"

Xiao Zuo: "This is... a knife? Why is your knife broken?"

"Can you get the knife out?"

"It should be possible, but it's inconvenient right now."

With Xiao Zuo's affirmation, Lin Chuan immediately took Xinghe out of the imprint, and rushed into the room to put in a healing pill. He remembered that Xiao Zuo's calf was injured by a knife. If Xiao Zuo could take out the pill Medicine, the hope of escape is even greater.

"This is a healing pill, try to see if you can take it out."

Xiao Zuo: "...I directly sent the elixir into my mouth, it was a bit bitter, but the effect seemed to be good, the leg didn't hurt so much, let's not talk about that, do you think it is feasible to infuse spiritual power?"

Feeling the disappearance of the elixir in the imprint, Lin Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then began to sort out his thoughts, and helped Xiao Zuo research the issue of empowering spiritual power:

"The spiritual energy in the Profound Mirror Realm comes from the three big stars in the sky, but no one has explored the essence of spiritual energy, and the method of calculating the amount of spiritual energy is also very simple, that is, to count the spiritual energy vortexes in the dantian, with nine being the extreme.

After the spiritual vortex reaches nine, a qualitative change will occur, which is when the realm breaks through.

If you really want to empower the aura, I suggest that you wait until you have accumulated a vortex of aura in your dantian before trying it. At least this will ensure that all the aura you inspire is in your body.

By the way, the annoying aura you mentioned before may be magic energy, and it is also a kind of spiritual energy. As long as you don't lose your mind, there is no problem. "

Xiao Zuo: "Well, that is to say, as long as the aura is absorbed into my dantian, it will completely belong to me, right?"

"Yes."

"Understood. I remember that the secret realm you mentioned will be opened in a few days. I will try to return to the safe zone before it opens. Call me if you need help."

Sensing the confidence in Xiao Zuo's voice, Lin Chuan replied with a smile, "I'll wait for you", finally feeling completely relieved.

Xiao Zuo would never do anything he was not sure of. Since he was confident of escaping, he could just prepare for the trip to the secret realm with peace of mind.

The sun finally shone through the layers of morning fog, and the haze that had been covering Lin Chuan's heart was swept away.

"It's good to be alive..."
