dream bubble

Chapter 14
No wine, no food.

Xie Xiaoyu returned to his stone room, before he could meditate, someone came to worship outside.

That person was Su Mingcheng who had just left.

As soon as he entered the stone room, Su Duozhu asked in a low voice: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't know who is trying to trouble you?"

"It's a middle-aged scribe who can't leave his hand, shouldn't he be right?" Xie Xiaoyu had already guessed.

He thought of two possibilities.

The first possibility is that someone wants to seize that section of the mine.

If this is a new mining area, the possibility will be higher, but this is an old mining area, and the miners who stay here are all of the kind with no background. How could it be possible for a rudder at the entrance of the lobby to trouble him?

The second possibility is that his enemies hired someone to deal with him.

After he came to Tianbaozhou, he had offended three groups of people. When he disembarked, he had turned a person into a eunuch. Before he came here, he had offended a bald man, and in the end it was the scribe.

The first person is a member of the small gang, which is basically ruled out. The second person is the leader of the small gang. It is possible, but compared with the third person, the possibility is much smaller.

Su Mingcheng smiled wryly. He originally wanted to tip off the news and sell his favor, but he had already guessed it.

"Can you let me know what kind of enmity there is between you?" Now he just wants to match it up, which can be regarded as a favor.

"No grudges, I just saved their lives." Xie Xiaoyu said indifferently.

Su Mingcheng couldn't say anything, and he was secretly glad that he didn't have too much contact with those people.

There are three things that people in the Jianghu are most shameless--deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, betraying friends for glory, and being ungrateful.

Su Mingcheng thought he was not a good person, but he couldn't do such despicable things.

"It's a waste for this kind of person to live. Do you want me..." Su Mingcheng made a killing gesture.

"I will deal with those ungrateful people." Xie Xiaoyu had a cold breath between her teeth.

Master Su Duo shivered, he was glad that he stopped quickly.

There was no way to make the other party owe a favor, the helmsman gritted his teeth and took out a box from the sleeve.

"I'm asking for your guidance." He gently opened the box, and inside was a scroll.
The scroll is made of high-quality yellow silk, with ebony in the middle as the axis, and a few large characters are written on the side facing him-"Ten Fang Dao Zang? The True Explanation of Sword Talisman".

Seeing these names, Xie Xiaoyu was taken aback.

He originally thought that Master Su Tuo inherited something like Wild Fox Zen, but he didn't expect it to be the authentic Taoism.

Taking a breath with a "hiss", he carefully picked up the volume of Taoism.

He didn't dare to open it, so he looked at the big characters first.

Dare to call Daoist Canon must gather countless Taoist scriptures, unite with several top sects of Taoism, and edit and compile it after two or three generations.

The word "ten directions" in front of it is also great, representing heaven, earth, east, south, west, north, life, death, past, and future.

This "True Explanation of Sword Talisman" should be a chapter of "Ten Directions Daozang".

The eight characters are all written in cloud seal script. At first glance, they are characters, but when you look at them carefully, you will feel that there are countless changes, as if there are infinite mysteries hidden.

He slowly unfolded the scroll.

The text inside is also written in Yunzhuan, which is difficult to read, and it is messy and fragmented.But as long as he can understand it, he will definitely feel enlightened.

Xie Xiaoyu stared blankly, he looked very carefully, his face was sometimes happy, sometimes distressed, sometimes enlightened, sometimes frowning in distress.

Su Mingcheng stood at the side with his hands down, he didn't read the scriptures, he could recite the words on them backwards, and he paid attention to Xie Xiaoyu's face.

Xie Xiaoyu was definitely not the first person he asked for advice, he had already let five people read this Daoist book before.Others, however, have not performed so well.

It took a long time for Xie Xiaoyu to come back to his senses, the indifference at the beginning was gone, and there was a little more respect on his face.

"When I was in the sect, I heard about this "Ten Directions Dao Zang".

This Daoist collection is an astonishing classic that was compiled by Tianyi and Taihe sects in conjunction with 7000 Taoist schools 26 years ago.

The whole book is divided into 49 volumes, counted by Da Yan, and divided into three thousand volumes, each volume is divided into many volumes, a total of [-] volumes, and [-] teachings are hidden.Each volume is divided into canon, true explanation and appendix.

The scriptures record the original excerpts from the classics of various schools, the content of which is unpredictable, but obscure.That's why we have a true understanding.The true solution is the interpretation and supplement of the orthodoxy.The appendices are the derived spells, talismans, pills, instruments and formations.

This classic book is all-encompassing and fascinating, but unfortunately, in the catastrophe of heaven and earth 1 years ago, none of Tianyi, Taihe, and 24 Taoist schools survived, and this Taoist collection has since been lost.Nowadays, all sects and imperial courts have collected them, but they are not complete. Among them, the royal secret collection is the most, with a total of more than [-] articles..."

Xie Xiaoyu spoke eloquently.

Su Mingcheng was completely dumbfounded.

The five people who asked for advice before only guessed that "Ten Directions Dao Zang" is extensive and profound, and may be a supreme classic. They also said that this is only one of them, not the main article, but annotations. The content in it is fragmentary and incomplete. There is no way to practice at all.But no one can tell the source of this true explanation.

Only now did he realize that "Ten Directions Dao Cang" has such a great origin, that it was the supreme classic of Taoism before the catastrophe of heaven and earth. Two thousand articles.Each one was as inscrutable as the volume in his hand.

Just thinking about it made him faint.

When he was at the banquet just now, he had already seen the horror of the big sect, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying.

"Brother's sect must also have this Taoist collection, right?" Su Mingcheng asked full of expectation.

"Yes, but for a low-level disciple like me, do you think he is qualified to have access to such supreme classics?" Xie Xiaoyu asked back.

Su Duozhu was choked to the point of speechlessness, the more Xie Xiaoyu belittled himself, the more he felt ashamed, and the more he looked up to those big sects, the more he looked up and down.

"Brother, please show me a clear path." Su Duozhu considered whether he should kneel down or not.

"Isn't there a way here?" Xie Xiaoyu pointed at the scripture.

Su Ruozhu was puzzled. The five people he consulted all gave him some advice, but they all asked him to give up his cultivation and practice other skills.No one has ever told him that the answer is hidden in this True Explanation.

What Xie Xiaoyu was referring to was a sentence very close to the front, which said, the sword energy is sharp, so it can flow unimpeded, breaking the sky, cutting the earth...

Su Mingcheng's brows were completely wrinkled, he didn't understand what Xie Xiaoyu was referring to?
"You probably think this is nonsense, right? Who doesn't know the sharpness of the sword, as for the following few sentences, it must be an exaggeration." Xie Xiaoyu asked with a smile, with a clear taste of contempt in the smile, like a well-educated The Confucian scholar looked at an illiterate.

Su Mingcheng's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in. The key point had been pointed out to him, but he still couldn't see it.

Xie Xiaoyu knew that the fire should not be stretched too far, he explained: "In the ancient Taoist scriptures, Tianque is often used to refer to Zifu, and Dishu is used to refer to Ren Du Xuanguan. Breaking the sky is to open Zifu, communicate Heaven and Earth, Zhandishu are connected to the central axis, penetrating through the sky, so the first two sentences will be explained, I am afraid that it refers to the transformation of the true energy in the body into sword energy, the sword energy is hard and sharp, so it can Unimpeded."

Xie Xiaoyu paused for a moment, unfolded the scriptures, clicked on a few places, and continued: "I will no longer mention 'true energy' or 'sword energy', and only use the word 'qi', which obviously refers to both Jianqi, you didn't understand the previous sentence, so according to your own understanding, you took some of the words 'qi' in it as true qi for granted, so that it was completely wrong."

Su Duozhu's eyes widened. After being explained by Xie Xiaoyu in this way, he really found that this exercise has completely changed.

"It's a pity that the scriptures are missing. If I'm not wrong, the scriptures must be to cultivate a natal sword talisman, and then use the talisman as a seed to be raised in the Zifu. When fighting with others, it is not to use this The Dao natal sword talisman fights with people, but the sword talisman is made separately, so there is no need to worry about the natal sword talisman being damaged." Xie Xiaoyu expressed her guess.

What he said at the moment is seven points true and three points false.

He didn't explain that sentence indiscriminately, but judging from the context, even if you don't convert it, you should be able to practice it, and convert it into sword energy, but the effect is better.

Seeing Su Duozhu's fluctuating expression, as if hesitating, Xie Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and asked, "You must have better sword symbols in your hand, right?"

Su Duozhu was awakened suddenly, he didn't know what Xie Xiaoyu was going to do, he took out a few wedge-shaped slices with hidden colorful and spiritual energy from the sleeve tube.

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes lit up a little, this is indeed a talisman.It is written by beating Taibaijin into foil, using cinnabar and Tianchen Jinsha mixed with the blood of spirit beasts as ink.

Each sword talisman is expensive to make.

"I didn't expect you to be an expert at making talismans." Xie Xiaoyu praised, he is also good at making talismans, so he can tell at a glance whether these sword talismans are good or bad.

"This was passed down to me by my master, and he was also passed down from the previous generation. When he gave it to me, he once warned me that it must not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. One piece of this thing should be used less than one piece." Su Mingcheng said To be honest, I told the origin of these sword symbols.

"Can you lend me one? Once I step into the Taoist sect, I can make this kind of talisman, and I will return you ten for one." Xie Xiaoyu didn't want to take advantage of anyone.

"Excuse me, just take it." Su Mingcheng said indifferently, exchanging a sword talisman for an expert friend is definitely a good deal, and he also wants to see if Xie Xiaoyu wants to take this sword talisman What use?
"Can I borrow this Taoist book for a few days? I'm also a sword cultivator, and this method of using talismans as swords is also very useful to me." Xie Xiaoyu said calmly.

He was not afraid that Su Tuozhu would not borrow it, anyone who heard his explanation just now would be skeptical, at this time he would try with his own body, and the other party would definitely want it.

"Don't say a few days, it's fine for a few months." Su Duozhu said happily, his reaction was just as Xie Xiaoyu expected: "I won't bother you any more." He cupped his hands and walked backwards out stone chamber.

The stone door fell slowly and closed with a bang. After Xie Xiaoyu built this stone room, it was the first time to close the stone door. Usually, he just placed a barrier at the entrance of the cave to prevent people from breaking in casually.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he thought it was funny when Master Su left with fear and reverence.

Another fool was cheated by him.

Half of what he said just now was a lie, and the other half was his conjecture.

He judged that "Ten Directions Dao Zang" was written before the Great Tribulation. The reason is very simple. There is a thick catalog in the Sutra Pavilion, which lists the names of all Taoist classics after the Great Tribulation. Fang Daozang".

But judging from this "True Explanation of Sword Talismans", "Ten Fang Dao Zang" is definitely a Dao Zang classic, and it is a great work that covers everything.

So it is likely to be something before the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

The two sects of Tianyi and Taihe were specially selected by him. They did exist, and they were indeed the top sects before the catastrophe.But it was completely destroyed in the catastrophe, all the inheritances were cut off, and none of the sects that emerged after the catastrophe were related to them.

But there was one thing he didn't lie to the helmsman.

He really wanted to drive this sword talisman into the Purple Mansion and turn it into a natal sword talisman.

This is the path he took in the sect, and he has absolutely rich experience, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when practicing.

It is also mentioned in "The True Explanation of Sword Talisman" that any method of sword cultivation can be compatible with it, and there will never be any conflict.

But these are side details, the key is that he can use the sword talisman now.

The so-called sword symbol is to replace "sword" with "tale".

A talisman is just a piece of paper, as light as nothing, so it's easy to manipulate.The flying sword is different, no matter how light it is, it is still a piece of metal.

Unfolding the sword talisman very carefully, Xie Xiaoyu smoothed out those creases with his fingers.

Only after unfolding did I realize that this piece of foil made of Taibaijin was half a foot long and three inches wide, with three runes written in cloud seal on the front, and a big "sword" character in the center, occupying most of the space. There are two small characters on the upper and lower sides, with "fly" on the top and "cut" on the bottom.

These three characters are formed in one go, and they are integrated into one whole. It can be seen that the person who made the talisman is extremely powerful, and he is definitely a master of talisman Tao.

After admiring it for a while, Xie Xiaoyu carefully folded the talisman again.

This talisman was originally folded into the shape of a swallowtail dart, somewhat similar to a flying sword, but that was not what he wanted.

He refolded the sword talisman into the shape of a copper coin.

Everything in the world is changing with each passing day, and so is the method of cultivation. When this sword talisman was translated into a book, the sword pellets and flying rings must have not been popular yet, and the technique of controlling the sword talisman in the true solution also seemed old and too majestic. It is not as fierce as today's swordsmanship.

This is also the reason why he guessed that "Ten Fang Dao Zang" was written before the catastrophe of heaven and earth. Before the catastrophe, all schools and schools generally believed that Tao was more important than law, so the monks were all profound in Taoism, but not good at fighting.As a result, with the great catastrophe, the big and small sects were wiped out one after another, and countless masters fell one after another.After the catastrophe, although there are still disputes over Taoism and law, practicality is the top priority. The noble and decent swordsmanship also implies murderous intentions in majesty, and it is a murderous swordsmanship.

Twisting up the folded sword talisman, pinching the sword formula with his hand, he slapped it violently.

The white light of the sword talisman flashed, and instantly pierced into the center of his eyebrows.

Between the eyebrows is the door of the Purple Mansion. It was originally empty, only a cloud of mist permeated everywhere, but at this moment, there was a sword talisman shaped like a copper coin in the mist.

All the dense air that was a little closer to the sword talisman was sucked in, and it became clear and transparent in a blink of an eye, but it was fierce and compelling.

That is sword energy.

Xie Xiaoyu only felt that the pores were all open, and the whole body was warm, as if drinking a cup of century-old wine.

This kind of wonderful and unspeakable feeling made him impatiently pull another cloud of air.

The strands of true energy turned into sword energy, and the sword energy gathered around the sword talisman, nourishing the sword talisman.The sword talisman, which was originally dim, emitted a gleam of light, which was colorful and ever-changing.

A wisp of sword energy was drawn out and circulated in the body.

He suddenly felt different from before.

In the past, all that was transported was true energy, and there was some stagnation to some extent, but now there is no stagnation at all, and it is really as mentioned in the true explanation, completely unimpeded.

Where the sword qi passed, there was an itchy feeling, which was a bit more wonderful than the rumored sexual intercourse between a man and a woman.

He couldn't help mobilizing more sword air to circulate.

The moon rises and the moon sets, the sun rises and sets.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Xiaoyu woke up from this indescribable state, his face still had a hint of intoxication.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain like needle pricks in all the veins in his limbs, which made him wake up all of a sudden.

It hurts, it hurts so much, the place that felt more comfortable just now is more painful now, like a needle prick, and it is a red-hot needle.

After thinking for a while, he immediately understood what was going on.

There is no problem with the exercises, the problem is that his meridians are not strong enough.

If he had practiced in this way from the beginning, the meridians would also be strengthened while the sword qi in his body was accumulating, but now that he suddenly transformed his true qi into sword qi, the meridians couldn't adapt at all.

Thinking of the dangerous place just now, he was afraid for a while.

In order to switch to the "Six Rufa", his zhenqi has been converted once, and more than half of it has been consumed, which is only equivalent to the zhenqi of a person at the third level of qi training, but his meridians can withstand the zhenqi of the eighth level of qi training. It saved his life.

As a matter of urgency, he must find a way to strengthen the meridians.

There are many methods, and he knows that several exercises have this effect, but it's a pity that far water can't save near fire.

If you want immediate results, you can only start with the pill.

The question is where to get the elixir?
