..................
I thought that by passing through the stone formation, I would find the way and continue to walk. Who expected to walk between the two stones, the once bright skylight suddenly disappeared, replaced by a misty starry sky, for a moment people are at a loss.
Blameless froze in place.
Why are the dozens of stones that are so close at hand gone? And where did the vast starry sky come from?
Hallucination!
This is the illusion created by the ancient altar, which is only to confuse people and stop them.
He hesitated in place for a moment, then immediately protected Zhou's body with his spiritual power, raised his steps, and walked forward with a little apprehension and uneasiness.
Suddenly, the vanishing light of the sky suddenly leaked.
Before he could rejoice, he saw an old man sitting on the ground not far away, smiling at his beard: "The ancient altar is made of fifty-four star stones, and it has the mystery of the formation. It's not uncommon to rush in, like a maze, and be sleepy for ten days and half a month!"
The old man was not someone else, it was Yuan Ling.
Blameless turned around, only to realize that he had walked out of the stone henge in a daze.
And Yuan Ling seemed to have expected it, and there was a smug look in his smile.
It's just a stone henge, and it's so weird!
Wu Yi scratched his head, and turned to look at Yuan Ling: "Senior brother is very knowledgeable, why not give me some advice!"
Yuan Ling should be a very generous person, especially for the advice of the same door, he has always been responsive, his face smiled more and more proudly, and he nodded and said: "The altar here is the place where the tribe worships the ancestors and gods in ancient times, and it was left in the ancient sword mountain, so it was included in the Canglong Valley by the predecessors of my sect." ”
Looking left and right, there was no one around, except for the big stone, it was quiet from far and near. He knew that it was inconvenient to hurry up, so he simply sat cross-legged two feet away.
"Fifty-four star stones, guarding the altar of the heavens. It is rumored that it is not difficult to cross, but it is not easy to meet the fairy fate!"
Seeing that Yuan Ling was right, he continued to put on a posture of listening to his ears.
"And fifty-four star stones, six or six into a array, nine stars change, no less than thousands of them, the sun, moon and stars are all-encompassing. If you want to travel through it......"
Wu Blame's heart moved, and he interjected: "I only heard that there are seven stars of the Big Dipper, how can I say that there are nine stars?"
Yuan Ling was in high spirits, and was suddenly interrupted, and his eyes glared: "This star is not the other star, but the number of Qimen Dunjia, which are Tianpeng Star, Tianrui Star, Tianchong Star, Tianfu Star, Tianfowl Star, Tianxin Star, Tianzhu Star, Tianren Star and Tianying Star! Since you are ignorant, how can you talk nonsense!"
They were two or three feet away from each other, as if they had been splashed by spittle.
Wu blame hurriedly raised his hand to apologize, but he was wondering in his heart. The magic sword in the body seems to have a title of Yaoguang. I thought it had something to do with the nine stars that Yuan Ling said, but who wanted to appear to be ignorant of his own family.
Yuan Ling saw that he was still humble and studious, his expression was a little softened, and he asked himself: "What is a star stone? How to cross the altar stone henge? But there is a vision, just kneel down sincerely, and you can naturally reach the altar, so what's the difficulty!"
He was dressed in an old robe, his beard was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his fingernails with his beard were full of old dirt, and the whole person looked old and decadent, like an old pedant in the mundane, but his eyes were shining, and his expression was complacent, and he looked very unfathomable!
He smiled without blame, but shook his head secretly.
I thought that this old man would teach a few tricks to cross the altar, but who expected that after the other party took care of himself, he didn't say anything. But if something is wrong, I will kneel down and worship? What a joke, I haven't been so pedantic as such!
Let's just try a few more times!
Wu blame flicked his sleeves and got up, and was about to leave, after thinking about it, he turned around and asked, "Who is staying in Canglong Valley, can senior brother teach me ......?"
Yuan Ling stretched out two thin fingers and stroked his beard, the old god was there, he groaned slightly, and said: "Canglong Valley is left by a senior master of my ancient sword mountain, his old man is the supreme sword cultivator, and he was once known as the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou, cough cough ......" He glanced at it, but stopped there, didn't say more, and turned his eyes slightly closed as if he was settled.
Wu Ji paced a few steps in place, turned around and sat down, arched his hand and smiled: "I really benefited a lot from meeting senior brother's guidance." At the moment, it is a coincidence, dare not ask for more advice. I hope you don't hesitate to give me advice!"
He had a magic sword in his body, so he was a little curious about that senior of the Ancient Sword Mountain. It's just curiosity, and how to broaden his horizons and even how to cross the ancient altar may be his original intention.
Yuan Ling suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly: "Hehe! Senior Brother respects the elder and knows the courtesy, which is quite rare! I will tell you and say it......" He was so full of energy, his eyebrows fluttered: "If you are someone else, you may not really know this secret of Gujian Mountain." And I am two hundred years old, although my cultivation is not good, my state of mind, and experience are not ordinary!"
When people are old, they may love to nag. I remember that the Qi San people in Fenghua Valley are like this, the Yun Shengzi of Lingxia Mountain is like this, and the same is true of the Yuan Ling in front of him.
Blameless sat patiently and waited for the following.
"That senior master, with his lifelong cultivation, has cultivated the Seven Dao Divine Sword, and his name is famous in the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou!"
Yuan Ling said with great interest: "That senior has mediocre roots and dull qualifications, but with a big heart, great wisdom, great perseverance, and great opportunity, he finally achieved the supreme sword cultivation, and he is a model for my generation!
I'm not discouraged, the so-called fairy road has nothing to do with me!
Wu Yi asked casually: "Who is his surname, and where is he now?"
Yuan Ling's tone was a little slower, and he said with respect: "His name is Cangqi, and he is respected as Emperor Cang by his fellow Daoists in Shenzhou, and now he ......" He suddenly sighed, and said: "Some people say that he is dead, some people say that he is still alive, as for the details, with my status in the Immortal Gate, there is no way to know!"
At this point, there was a bit of embarrassment in his regretful tone.
is not to blame, but he doesn't care at all, he just listens to a bizarre legend. He turned his head and silently looked at the stone henge not far away.
The black stones, like a series of figures lonely to the sky, and like a strange forest, witnessing the distant years.
Wu Yi was still thinking about how to cross the altar, and not far away the voice began again: "It's rare to have a fate, you and I might as well discuss it." It is necessary to know the way of cultivation, words and deeds are the same, and knowing that words are easy to do, only then can there be wisdom, and the road can be ......"
He followed the sound and saw that the old man was once again immersed in the realm of enlightenment and couldn't extricate himself, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother's realm is extraordinary, why is his cultivation ordinary?"
Although his words were ridiculous, he also felt it. Whether it is the Yun Shengzi of Yujing Peak of Lingxia Mountain, or the Yuan Ling in front of him, they are all obsessed with the immortal path and the realm is extraordinary, but their cultivation is not good. The reason for this is really incomprehensible.
"This ...... This ......"
Yuan Ling snorted, lowered his head and muttered, "What the senior brother said is not unreasonable! Realm and cultivation should complement each other. Or there may be deviations, especially unknown! And the court heard that the night can die, what my generation wants......"
Blameless said calmly: "The way to seek death, don't cultivate!"
Rather than thinking about it, not all the monks are bad people. And those who focus on cultivation are mostly depressed. Such an immortal path is simply torturing people!
Yuan Ling argued: "Senior brother's words are wrong! Immortal Dao cultivates oneself and saves others......
Wu Ji was a little impatient, and stood up from the ground: "If you can't save yourself, how can you save others?"
Yuan Ling was slightly stunned: "How do you say this?"
Blameless and frank: "If you blindly seek to get rid of penance, you will not be free for the rest of your life! To put it bluntly, it is four words, contentment and happiness!"
Contentment is always happy, the truth that everyone in the world understands. And the immortal path is a practice against the sky, paying attention to ascetic cultivation and perseverance without regrets!
Yuan Ling said disapprerovingly: "What the senior brother said has nothing to do with the purpose of the Dao!"
Wu Yi couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and left, arched his hand back, and dropped a sentence: "All immortals are the same, and everything has a way." If you cling to it too much, you are a fool's way!"
Yuan Ling thought for a while, hurriedly got up, couldn't help but stumble, but he didn't care much, beckoned: "Senior brother, would you like to go together, so that you can ask for more advice on ......the way?"
Wu Ji walked in front of the two stones again, he looked at the strange stone formation, glanced back, and said with a wry smile: "There is a senior brother to lead the way, why not do it!"
Yuan Ling came closer, shook his head and muttered: "In this way, the realm may be deviated. The Tao is born out of nothing, and lost in the form ......"
The moment you walk into the stone formation, the surrounding scenery changes. The vast starry sky struck, and the surroundings were suddenly boundless.
No blame is no longer reckless, and walks side by side with Yuan Ling.
Yuan Ling lowered his head, watched himself walk forward on tiptoes, still silently recited words in his mouth, and took out a jade slip and pointed at it.
Wu Yi followed and looked at it, and suddenly realized.
No matter how unpredictable the scenery around you is, the passage under your feet is the same as before. As long as you don't look down and pay attention to the illusion, it is not difficult to find a way out in the stone formation.
Wu Yi understood, and hurriedly gathered his mind, but he still couldn't help but look at it, and was secretly curious.
The starlight in the sky is as real as an illusion. Being here, it gives people a trance, as if walking in the clouds, and as if walking through the ethereal star field.
Before you know it, the starlight is dim and like ink. Just as heaven and earth fall into ruin, all things are chaotic.
Blameless was surprised by the changes in the stone formation, and couldn't help but look at the Yuan Ling nearby.
The old man was still holding a jade slip in his hand and was walking with his head bowed, and his steps were a little hurried, like a tired traveler, silently stepping towards the established way home. But his mouth was still whispering, like a confused self-talk, or a prayer from the depths of his soul. And he seemed to be aware of the changes in heaven and earth, and his figure paused slightly, and he slowly knelt down in front of him, and then raised his hands and bowed his head. His demeanor is pious, his shape is frightened, and he has no detachment and calmness of a monk, more like a humble being, worshipping the totem he has admired for a long time!
Blameless stood quietly, looking slightly stunned......
