Moon Emperor

Chapter 268 The Death of the Gua Immortal
After explaining the antecedents, Jiang Huawei handed Su Yan a roll of bamboo slips, and carefully taught him how to grind mirrors, including grinding mirrors in reality and "mind mirror" in visualization.

After learning this for another seven days, Su Yan successfully changed from a novice to a mirror grinding apprentice who could at least start working proficiently by himself.

I have to say that in reality, the mirror is easy to learn, but the mind is hard to grind.

Su Yan used the bright moon in his dantian as a mirror in his internal vision, and polished it with his consciousness, will, and mana, but in the process, he didn't get any feedback, and he felt like he was doing useless work over and over again.

The master told him not to be impatient, grinding a mirror is like grinding kung fu, what is important is time and age, water drops and stone wears away, just take care of it during daily practice, don't need to worry about it all the time, let alone put the cart before the horse.

The time came in a blink of an eye, the last day of the half-month period that Jiang Huawei said.

On this day, the two stood facing the sea.

Jiang Huawei looked at the blue sea with his hands behind his back, "Before this ascension, I plan to teach you three things, one is Taiyin Baogao; the other is grinding mirrors; the third is swordsmanship."

"Actually, I don't know swords, but it just happens that the magic weapon I use is a sword, so it becomes swordsmanship."

Su Yan really wanted to complain, just with the three swords before, there are probably not many swordsmen in this world who can match you.

Of course, Su Yan understood what the master meant. He was not the kind of sword cultivator who devoted his whole life to the sword. He just used the sword to carry the "Tao" he knew.

"Actually, I have already taught you the sword skills. Do you still remember the three swords in Luoyang?"

"Ah?" Su Yan was at a loss.

"Wait, master, I do have a little understanding of the last sword, the sword of cause and effect, but it is a thousand miles away from mastering it; the first two swords know what it is, and I don't know why."

"Then remember that feeling and savor it all the time." Jiang Huawei didn't seem to intend to teach it again.

Although Su Yan was slightly disappointed, he still nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, the powerful and unparalleled power at the beginning gave him a strong shock, and the corresponding impression was also very deep, and he would not forget it after talking about it these days.

"I have already started to cross the tribulation."

"What?!" Su Yan was really surprised this time. He looked up at the sky, but there was no cloud in the sky, and the sky was clear and bright. It didn't look like the sky was dark and the sky was dark, lightning and thunder, and the catastrophe was coming.

"It actually started fourteen days ago, when we first got to the beach."

"I'm releasing my aura bit by bit. When my aura is completely displayed in the world, there will be a sympathy in the avenue, and it will descend to ascend to heaven."

"At that time, I will swing three swords again. You have to watch and remember with your heart."

"Actually, these three swords are the same as the three swords back then, only in a different form."

Listening to Master's earnest and persuasive words, Su Yan nodded silently, feeling a little complicated.

Suddenly, he remembered something, "By the way, Master, there is something I want to ask you."

Jiang Huawei also nodded, "Say."

Su Yan thought very clearly, he knew too little about this world, not to mention the specific conditions of the Heavenly Court and the Western Pure Land, he hadn't even touched the upper limit of the mortal world, and many things could only be guessed.

Although the secrets in your own body can be traced bit by bit by yourself in the future, but now there is a person with extremely high cultivation in front of you, why should you look far away?
If it is said that Jiang Huawei has ulterior motives, so much has been laid before him, and everything is for this moment, Su Yan will not believe it.

Because he believed that he saw people with his own eyes, and getting along with him in the past half month was enough for him to tell whether Jiang Huawei was a good person or a bad person.

Even if you take ten thousand steps back, Jiang Huawei is really a bad guy. With his terrifying cultivation base, there is no need to go to such lengths to catch Su Yan directly, and use methods such as searching for souls directly, but the efficiency is on the contrary. higher.

So you have to ask what you should ask, and if it is later, you may never have this opportunity.

"I have some conjectures about the source of the bright moon in my body."

Su Yan organized his words and started talking about Yuanyuan Mingyue from the beginning.

Including how I discovered the specialness of Mingyue; Later, I got in touch with Buddhism and learned the clues of the Moon Emperor; interacting with my subordinate Gou Chen in the Daitian Temple, I discovered that the title of Taiyin Xingjun can point to Mingyue.
In the end, Su Yan asked the question: Where did this bright moon come from?

How should he deal with threats from Dashizhi (or other gods) in the future?
From the very beginning, Jiang Huawei had guessed about Su Yan's situation, but the detailed secret revealed by his apprentice still surprised him, and his expression became more serious at the same time.

"Son of Heaven, Taiyin Xingjun, Great Strength Bodhisattva."

After a long time, Jiang Huawei looked sideways at Su Yan and said seriously, "I don't know."

Su Yan didn't know what expression to use for a while, but fortunately, the master continued, "The secret in you is far more complicated than I imagined."

"I originally thought that you were the reincarnation of a god or Buddha in the sky, perhaps from the heavenly court, or perhaps from the Buddhist gate; but you haven't awakened the memory of your previous life, and you don't want to become another person."

"Looking at it now, it should be a certain high-level existence who has laid out a game on you, or you are just a pawn in his game."

"He will take back the power in you sooner or later, it is impossible to just let it go."

"As for the way to take it back, there are no more than two ways: one is that you are no longer you; the other is to kill you and take out the bright moon."

"My suggestion to you is, before the opponent makes a move, use the technique of grinding the mirror to take that power for yourself little by little. Only in this way, you will have a slight chance of winning in the future."

"In addition, I wanted to tell you the last thing. Now it seems that not only for me, but also for yourself, you should follow the clue I found."

Su Yan raised his spirits all of a sudden, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Huawei looked at the surface of the sea again, "The reason why I accepted you as a disciple is not only that I hope to continue the orthodoxy, but also because I have been chasing a clue in the mortal world before, but I have never been able to get a result."

"Because this matter is very important, and even related to the changes in the world in the past, I hope that there will be someone who can take this burden for me."

"Of course, hope is hope. In fact, after I leave this world, whether to complete it or not depends entirely on your own will."

Speaking of Jiang Huawei's right hand in front of his body, a scene of the past appeared in front of the two of them.

In the picture, the sky is "raining", but it is raining blood, occasionally mixed with burning meteorites, broken temples, and broken pillars. It looks like a scene that only occurs at the end of natural disasters.

"This is what happened more than a thousand years ago, on the day when the heavens and the earth changed. I was not born at that time. This is the picture recorded by my master."

"According to him, at that time, the three realms and six realms trembled, blood rained from the sky, ghosts cried at night, the sun, moon, and stars shifted, and the tides of the four seas continued to surge."

"At that time, people didn't know what happened. Both mortals and monks were terrified and inexplicable. Some people even thought of the incident in ancient times when Gonggong angered Buzhou Mountain and caused the world to fall."

"Fortunately, after about a day and a night, all abnormalities gradually subsided, as if nothing had happened."

"But it was also from that day that the connection between the fairy world and the human world and the underworld was completely severed. There was no news of the yellow watch burned to the heaven in the lower realm; the gods could no longer communicate with the gods; Yincao Yousi also could not communicate with the fairy world."

"Since then, the monks who ascended from the mortal world have disappeared. No one knows whether they entered the fairyland where they disappeared without a trace, or were completely annihilated in the endless chaos."

"My master has not been able to cultivate to the state of ascension, but he has always been concerned about this matter, and until the end of his life, he is struggling to pursue the secret of the year."

"As for me, although I have the heart to fulfill Master's last wish, I haven't had any idea for a long time. After all, the level involved in this matter is too high. Until more than a hundred years ago, I accidentally met a person."

Jiang Huawei said in a tone of reminiscence, and tapped again with his right hand in front of him, and there was another picture on the right side of the original picture.

The newly-appeared picture is a little blurry. On it is the back of a girl in red, who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a bloody head in her right hand

She was walking in the mountains, her figure looked very brisk, if not for the bloody white-haired head in her hand, the whole would have a sense of agility.

"Did you find it?" Jiang Huawei asked.

What did you find? ?Su Yan patrolled back and forth between the two pictures, and suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a corner of the sky picture.

There was half a broken and flawless little finger, and golden blood escaped from the wound.
Su Yan's pupils shrank, and he looked at the girl again, only to see that both her hands were intact, but the little finger of her right hand, skin texture and other details seemed to be exactly the same as the broken little finger!Just scaled it down a bit.

"When the sky changed in the past, my master noticed this little finger that fell from the sky. He suspected that it was a part of the corpse of an immortal."

"He chased after it and tried to grab it, but the little finger disappeared out of thin air, as if my master had hallucinated and didn't have such a finger at all."

"Thousands of years have passed, and the master has long passed away, but I saw it in a young girl, which made me subconsciously have an absurd association."

"Could it be that the finger in the past grew flesh and blood spontaneously, and finally became a living person?"

Su Yan just listened to Jiang Huawei's description, and felt it was very bizarre, and even a little scary. One finger grew into a complete person?
By the way, he also remembered what Xuanwu once said, the Xuan master of the Immortal Pavilion, when he went to explore the outer space, he accidentally found half of the immortal corpse.

Su Yan immediately told the master about this matter, Jiang Hua thought for a while, nodded slightly, and continued talking.

"I found that mysterious girl in Yizhou. At that time, I was treating people at the foot of the mountain. I heard people say that there have been strange incidents of missing babies recently."

"I suspected that some demon monks were stealing newborns to practice magic skills, so I traced it all the way, but in the nearby mountains, I found a lot of dead bodies, all of them were the corpses of demon monks."

"Then I found this girl in red. She hummed a brisk tune and left with her head in her hand. I only saw her back. When I chased after her, she disappeared."

"This experience is so similar to my master's experience thousands of years ago. Since then, I have been chasing after this person and occasionally found some clues, but I have never seen her again."

"In short, I suspect that this person is probably someone who experienced the changes in the fairy world back then. If we can find her, we may be able to know what happened in the sky and where the fairy world went."

"I'm about to ascend now, so I can only leave it to you to find her. If you can find her, maybe you can learn the answer to the two questions you just asked from her mouth."

Su Yan nodded earnestly, but was somewhat puzzled, "Master, since you suspected that I was a person from heaven at the beginning, why didn't you ask me about the fairy world?"

"This involves Guaxian's death. Guaxian died because he wanted to know too much."

Jiang Huawei's tone was light and calm, but Su Yan could feel that his words were not calm.

"Guaxian and I are friends of the same generation. He comes from the most mysterious of the three secret realms [Guixu]. He is also very interested in the cause of the changes in the world. About 500 years ago, he deduced the future world, There will be a catastrophe."

"This catastrophe may be related to the changes in the fairy world. He is too conceited, and he wants to figure out all the hexagrams to see where the world is going to be."

"Then he died, without a whole body, his soul was scattered, and he was suspected of being backlashed by heaven."

"However, before he died, some messages were sent out from afar. According to the part I received, his death was not so simple. There are important people who don't want him to know the truth of the matter, and they are probably people from the sky."

"So Guaxian's death is not worthless. At least he let me know that there are some superior beings who don't want the mortals in the lower realm to have too much trouble."

"For example, the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva you mentioned, didn't he also warn the owner of the Shuiyue Jianzhai?"

"Because you appeared out of nowhere, a mysterious existence that took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me, so I would naturally be wary; at that time, I even felt that it was because I was looking for clues about the girl in red that you came to me."

"So I didn't want to get involved with you too much at that time. I didn't realize that I was thinking too much until I saw you with the relics of the Gua Immortal."

"As for the girl in red, I think if she was the victor back then, she shouldn't be crushed and knocked down to the world. It's much safer to get news from her."

"By the way, I'm running out of time. In the future, you can go to the Immortal Pavilion to see the fairy corpse. I think this is a very important clue."

Su Yan agreed, and at the same time felt a little emotional. It turned out that Guaxian's death contained such complicated reasons, and he remembered the words that Fang Yan still had in his ears:
"It's always been me asking the sky, and one day, it will be the sky's turn to ask me, what is the solution to this hexagram?!"

Now it seems that the "heaven" in Gua Xian's mouth may not be the ruthless way of heaven, but the existence in the sky that secretly affects the operation of the way of heaven.
