Chapter 7: Return to the Ruins
Looking back at dusk, Tang Zheng saw an old man dressed in purple standing on the last stone step leading to the high platform.
He smiled at Tang Zheng: "The heart is made by people, and sex is what the heart desires." You may feel like you've done your best, without reservation, but your heart knows that you're not. The ultimate knife intent is to give up a qiē knife intent, which is not only to give up one's life, but also to give up the law. You learn too much, and it's too miscellaneous. Miscellaneous and disorderly, chaotic and disorganized, how can it be extreme? If you want to use such a knife, you must first sort out your own legal principles. ”
Tang Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.
At this moment, countless thoughts surged through his mind, and many places that he couldn't figure out and couldn't think of were suddenly enlightened under the old man's remarks.
Yes!
The reason why he couldn't use such a knife no matter how hard he tried was because his methods were too miscellaneous.
Facing countless enemies, one hole card after another, it is this means that allows him to win. But it was this habit of segmentation that restrained his progress and prevented him from reaching that extreme level.
The so-called extreme, naturally, should be condensed and burst out without leaving a way out!
Thinking of this, he bowed deeply to the old man: "Thank you seniors for your advice, Tang Zhengming is guilty!"
The old man smiled.
He looked down at the steps under his feet, then shook his head and sighed, "I can't go up this last step, come and pull me." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Tang Zai was stunned, and then reacted that this old man actually let himself pull him onto the high platform.
Shuiyue Cave Heaven stipulates that you must go up the mountain with your own personal strength, and no one can rely on external forces, which is undoubtedly a violation of the law.
But Tang Zheng only hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand, grabbed the old man's hand and pulled it up violently.
The two of them joined forces, and the old man had stepped onto the stone platform.
Standing on the stone platform, the old man looked around and laughed: "Hero platform...... Haha, I'm finally on the hero stage. ”
There is endless sighing between the words.
Tang Zheng looked at the old man like this, thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the seniors who are ......?"
The old man woke up from a dream and said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce it." The old man's bloody battle hall Luo Hanzhen. ”
Hearing Luo Hanzhen's name, Tang Zheng was also shocked in his heart: "It turned out to be a real person from the Blood River!"
This Blood River real person Luo Hanzhen is quite famous in the Moon Washing Sect, and the most famous thing is that he kills a lot.
It is said that the number of cultivators under the True Soul of the Blood River has been thousands.
Thousands of people sound normal, but as long as there is one thousandth of a cultivator like this, the rest will be dead.
Therefore, this Blood River True Person, at least in terms of killing, may not be comparable to the True Monarch.
However, this is not because of his cruelty and thirst for killing, but because of his position - he is the first deputy hall master of the Blood War Hall.
Luo Hanzhen is extremely strong, and it is said that he participated in the competition for the Nineteen Heavenly Kui, but finally lost to Xiao Kebo, the hall master of the Blood Battle Hall, and from that day on, he was willing to take the deputy position and became Xiao Kebo's first deputy hall master.
According to the usual practice of the Moon Washing Sect, the first deputy hall master is practical, and from this day on, the first deputy hall master of the Blood War Hall will lead the disciples of the hall to fight everywhere.
In this world of great rule, he is one of the few cultivators in the Moon Washing Sect who has spent most of his time in battle, and the Blood Battle Hall is the main battle hall of the three major halls of the War Department, and it is not surprising that he has fought for hundreds of years. This is also the result of his self-esteem and disdain for ordinary disciples.
It is precisely because of this that hundreds of disciples of the Beast Refining Sect in the first battle of the Tang Tribulation will be so sensational, and such a record is brilliant no matter which sect it is placed in.
At this moment, when he heard that the person who came was a real person from the Blood River, Tang Zheng was already in awe: "Tang Zheng, a disciple of the secret hall, has seen the master of the Luo Hall!"
Luo Hanzhen waved his hand: "I know you, if you want to talk about the limelight, in recent years, your limelight has been better than mine." It seems that among the future pillars of my Moon Washing Sect, except for Wei Gaochen, Shen Zhengbo, Hua Ziyi, Xiao Shuqiu, and Bei Canghan, it won't be long before I will add you again. ”
Tang Zai hurriedly said: "The hall master is very loving, Tang Zai is ashamed and dare not be!"
The few that Luo Hanzhen said are all the most famous disciples of the Moon Washing Sect at present, and Bei Canghan is only the bottom figure among them, such as Peng Yaolong, Qi Shaoming and others are not qualified to enter. Luo Hanzhen actually said that he was on a par with them, and even Tang Zheng felt terrified for a while.
Luo Hanzhen said lightly: "It's a good thing for young people to be modest, but it's hypocritical to be too modest." If you enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven, you still don't have the confidence to show your head and feet, and you will inevitably be too unconfident. ”
Tang Zheng Huo Ran was vigilant and said solemnly: "What the hall master said is that Tang Zheng must work hard and move towards a higher goal. ”
"That's right. Luo Hanzhen nodded: "By the way, how long have you been here in this Water Moon Cave Heaven?"
Tang Zheng replied: "I have been here for thirty-two days. ”
"Thirty-two days...... It's not long, I heard that you have been out for ten years, accumulating contributions, and you can support it for a while. ”
"The disciple has contributed 33,000 points, and he can stay in the Water Moon Cave for 110 days, and now there are 78 days left. ”
"Seventy-eight days ......" Luo Hanzhen thought about it with his hands on his back, and asked: "It's not long, it's not short, it's not too long, and Yier's qualifications can be further advanced in these seventy-eight days, why don't you continue to work hard and grind with these things on the wall every day? ”
Tang Zai smiled bitterly: "It's not that the disciple doesn't want to, it's just that I'm already in the three withers." ”
Has it been withered?
Only then did Luo Hanzhen notice the strand of white hair on Tang Zheng's head.
"So that's ......" Luo Hanzhen shook his head and smiled: "It's because my old eyes are dizzy, and I didn't even notice this." No wonder you stopped there, it seems that you are not confident that you can break through the three dryness in the rest of the time. ”
Tang Zai replied: "The previous resources have been used to break through the enlightenment, and it is not enough to overcome the three dryness, so I will stop here to study the legacy of my ancestors, and plan to continue to climb the mountain after I have some understanding, maybe it can help, and then I can climb as high as I can." ”
Luo Hanzhen laughed: "You kid can think about it." Since you have been in front of the mirror wall for more than 20 days, I think you have also participated in the participation, so it is better to continue to go to the peak. Although the scenery in this mid-mountain is good, it is not as high as the height. There are some things that you don't have to see him write well, but it's just a momentary hilarity...... Let me ask you, would you be interested in continuing to climb the Water Moon Peak with me?"
Continue to climb the Water Moon Peak with you?
Tang Zheng glanced at Luo Hanzhen with some surprise.
If I remember correctly, the last step up the stairs just now was pulled up by myself.
The most important thing is that if he remembers correctly, Luo Han should really be the peak of Tianxin, a cultivator in the soul transformation stage.
In his realm, it is extremely difficult to go any further.
Although it is said that the Moon Washing Sect has never stipulated that you cannot enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven if you have reached a certain amount of cultivation, but the layout of the Water Moon Cave Heaven itself is equivalent to telling everyone that it is easy to enter at a low level, and it is useless to enter a high level.
For example, he Luo Han is really like this, with his cultivation in the soul transformation period, if he wants to go to the next level, it is Zifu.
This means that Luo Hanzhen has almost no possibility of progress, which means that it is impossible to reach the top.
Therefore, for the vast majority of people, at this point in cultivation, it is no longer interesting to enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
Of course, if you don't think about climbing to the top, just breathe in the rich aura in this cave, then it's still no problem. However, for real people who are calculated in units of ten years and 100 years, these dozens of days are really not very interesting.
Tang Zheng didn't know how he walked from the foot of the mountain to the 500-meter hero platform, maybe he really had a breakthrough and improvement, but with his strength, his breakthrough range must be limited, and the 500-meter hero platform is only his limit.
Luo Hanzhen saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?
Tang Zai sneered and said, "How dare the disciple ......"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Hanzhen had already walked towards the steps.
Step out, on the stone steps, where is the slightest previous strength has not been caught.
Tang Zheng was stunned, and Luo Hanzhen had already turned around: "What's the matter, do you want me to pull you?"
Tang Zheng woke up like a dream, hurriedly stepped on the stone steps, and suddenly stopped as soon as he came up, and said, "Please wait for a while, senior." ”
"Huh?" Luo Hanzhen looked back at him.
I saw that Tang Zheng had already walked to the mirror wall, and a finger fell on the mirror wall, and he actually began to write.
When Luo Han really saw this, he didn't urge him, just smiled and looked at it.
After a long while, Tang Zheng finished writing, and then returned to Luo Hanzhen.
Luo Hanzhen asked him, "What was written?"
Tang Zai replied: "The disciple is not talented, and he wrote a paragraph about his own perception of the Tao. ”
"Have you already realized something?" Luo Hanzhen nodded: "Not bad, not bad." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went up the mountain, followed by Tang Zai.
From 500 meters upwards, the resistance from the Shuiyue Cave Heaven is much greater, and the pressure no longer starts below, but is omnipresent. This pressure made the cultivators have to use all their spiritual energy to resist when climbing the mountain, which is more difficult to recover on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are also not cultivating all the time.
This is also the reason why Tang Zheng didn't go up before, because once he went up, whether he wanted it or not, he would enter the cultivation state again, and he could no longer stop. And with his condition of three tribulations, the more he cultivated, the more he regressed, and the longer he spent more than 500 meters, the more unfavorable it was to himself, so he chose to stay on the hero platform first and then attack at the last moment.
Of course, there is also a benefit to going up earlier, that is, more time of cultivation can make breaking through the Three Tribulations faster, even if you can't break through in this Water Moon Cave Heaven, the twists and turns you need to experience after going back will be reduced.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Tang Zheng agreed to follow Luo Hanzhen up the mountain.
Following behind Luo Hanzhen, Tang Zheng walked step by step.
He saw Luo Hanzhen with his hands behind his back, his expression was leisurely, and there was no trace of the difficulty that mountaineering should have.
Walking leisurely, the two of them soon reached the platform of five hundred and fifty meters.
Luo Hanzhen looked back at him, and saw that although Tang Zheng had a heavy breath, he could still hold on, and nodded with a smile: "It looks pretty good, and sure enough, there is still room for it." ”
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The predecessors praised it falsely, it seems that this six-hundred-meter peak is the end of me." ”
"Oh?" Luo Hanzhen raised the corners of his eyes and said, "What do you say?"
Tang Zheng replied: "It seemed easy to climb all the way just now, but I have done my best. This 600-meter impact, without a single day, I'm afraid I won't be able to go up. But this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that from the moment I climbed this step, the breath in my body will operate on its own with the pressure around me, and the three withering are intensifying. The higher I go, the more difficult it becomes, but my strength is declining, and it is no longer possible to go above 600 meters. ”
"Is that so......" Luo Hanzhen nodded: "It's a pity, I still wanted to walk with you to the seven hundred and fifty-meter Moon Washing Moat, Guanyun Ancestor's handwriting, but you don't have that blessing after all." No matter what, no matter what, life is a long road, and you can go wherever you can. Since you can only stop at 600, it is good to have a panoramic view of the scenery at 600 meters. ”
As he spoke, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
Tang Zheng didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, and rested on the side.
When he was almost done, he stood up: "Hall Master, I'm resting." ”
"Hmm. Luo Han really responded, opened his eyes to look at him, didn't speak, and continued to walk towards the mountain.
This time, the 50 meters walked was extraordinarily long.
Tang Zai gritted his teeth and marched upwards step by step.
It's a pity that the road is getting more and more difficult, but the strength is constantly declining.
It's just a short fifty-meter journey, and Tang Zheng traveled all the way, his gray hair increased suddenly, and his temples were already full of white frost.
These fifty meters, Tang Zheng finally walked for a day and midnight before reaching it.
By the time he arrived, Luo Hanzhen had already been sitting there waiting for him for a long time.
Seeing Tang Zheng coming up, Luo Hanzhen said: "Since you can't afford to wait any longer, then go all out to rush to the three dry." ”
"The disciple knows. Tang Zheng replied respectfully.
After asking the Nongtang disciple for a reward of 600 meters, Tang Zheng took all the previous spirit grass and cultivated on this platform.
The consumption of the three elixirs made the realm of Tang Tribulation rise again, but this increase in cultivation was only one night's work, and Tang Tribulation's hair was white, his face was even more wrinkled, and his appearance was as withered as old and decayed.
This means that the three dry tribulations of the Tang Tribulation have officially been on fire, the mortal body is gradually dying, and the spirit body is not alive, and the strength of the Tang Tribulation at this moment has dropped to the point that it is not even as good as the Nine Rotation Period.
There is no way ahead, and I am waiting for the day of return.
This seems to be the best portrayal of today's Tang Tribulation situation.
From this day on, Tang Zheng practiced every day at this 600-meter-high platform.
And so the days passed.
In this uninterrupted cultivation process, Tang Tribulation's qi and blood became more and more exhausted, and his body became weaker and weaker, which was the expression of his three dry tribulations becoming more and more mature, and at this time, Tang Tribulation's strength had dropped to a level that was not even as good as a hundred refinements.
However, Tang Zheng still worked hard and cultivated, and he passed so firmly every day, even if he couldn't break through, he would never waste a single trace in this Water Moon Cave Heaven.
In comparison, Luo Han really seems much more leisurely.
After Tang Zheng stopped on the six-hundred-meter platform, Luo Hanzhen only accompanied him for one day, and then walked to the peak again.
Tang Zheng didn't know how high he had gone, only that he had come back a day later.
Carrying a pot of wine, he sat on the high platform, and drank it in the air.
The smell of wine came, and the smell was tangy.
So, a strange picture slowly unfolded.
A real person in the Soul Transformation Stage climbs the mountain every day, looks at the scenery, and comes back with wine to drink, while a young man who looks older than him spends his days meditating and cultivating cross-legged, and the more he refines, the older he gets, the more he looks like he is going to die at any time.
They would also talk to each other, but most of the time they would exchange some cultivation experiences and rarely mention themselves.
That's it, more than 40 days have passed.
Today, Tang Zheng is still cultivating, and now he looks like an old man in his last years.
Luo Hanzhen walked over suddenly, with a wave of his robe sleeves, there was already a small case between the two.
waved his hand again, but a few dishes appeared on the table.
Luo Hanzhen put the wine on the table and said, "Come, drink." ”
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, but he still walked over, and was about to take the wine glass, but Luo Hanzhen said, "Just drink like this." ”
The wine jug had flown straight towards Tang Tribulation, the body of the jug tilted slightly, and the wine had overflowed from the jug and entered Tang Tribulation's mouth.
Tang Zheng felt a hot current gushing out of his body, walking all over the meridians of his body, and a large amount of spiritual energy rose up, rushing and roaring out of his body, like a huge wave of the Yangtze River.
"Good wine!" This big gulp of wine went down, and Tang Zheng couldn't help but drink it out loud.
Luo Hanzhen took back the wine jug with a move, and didn't let him drink it anymore, but said, "Eat vegetables." ”
Wine is good wine, but food is ordinary side dishes.
After drinking the elixir and jade liquid, and then eating this mundane food, I only feel that the food is tasteless.
Tang Zheng didn't say anything after all, let alone continue to ask for wine, but just accompanied Luo Hanzhen to eat.
The two of them ate silently for a while, and Luo Han Zhen suddenly said, "Don't you want to ask, why did I invite you to drink today?"
After thinking about it, Tang Zai replied: "I think it's the hall master's time is running out." ”
Hearing this, Luo Hanzhen's body trembled violently: "So you guessed." ”
Tang Zai sighed softly: "At first, I may not be able to understand it, but after all this time, how can I not understand? In addition to the disciples of the Nongtang, there is another kind of person who can enter and exit freely in this Water Moon Cave Heaven." It's just that I never thought that the first time I came to Shuiyue Cave, I would see the predecessors of Guixu. ”
Return to the ruins!
This is the fundamental reason for the water moon cave Tiancun zài.
As long as conditions permit, the countless seniors of the six major factions will always choose to come to the Water Moon Cave Heaven before they die, and leave all the essence of their life's cultivation in this space while releasing them into heaven and earth.
This is also the root of the Water Moon Cave Tiancun zài, and it is the source of the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
When Tang Zheng saw that Luo Han was really a soul incarnation real person but could go up and down the water and moon peak freely, he completely understood that Luo Han was really about to reach the limit.
That's why he came here and waited for the end of his life.
It's just that Luo Hanzhen didn't expect that when he was about to return to the ruins, he would be able to meet a junior who was destined to enter the Water Moon Cave.
Sitting on the ground, Luo Hanzhen looked at the sky from afar, and said in a long voice: "I, Luo Hanzhen, have been in the Moon Washing Sect for 1,200 years since I entered the Moon Washing Sect, and I was in my prime, but unfortunately after hard fighting, I have been suffering from constant injuries, my life span has been reduced, and the deadline has finally arrived." Originally, I thought that I would be like the other predecessors, and I would die alone in this cave, and no one could accompany me except for the disciples of the Nongtang. I didn't expect that God would treat me well, and on the occasion of dying, there would be a disciple I sent to the cave to practice and accompany me through this last time, which is my Luo Hanzhen's great luck!"
Saying that, he turned his head to look at Tang Zheng: "I believe in fate, you and I can meet here, that is, there is fate." Tang Zheng, I have no children under my knees, I ask you, after I die, are you willing to do the deeds of filial piety to send me to the end?"
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "The disciple is willing!"
"Kowtow to me?"
Tang Zheng only hesitated for a moment, and then still nodded: "The disciple is willing!"
"Very good! I didn't expect that I, Luo Hanzhen, would be able to have a son before I died, very good, very good!" Saying that, Luo Hanzhen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine jug, and then went to a corner and sat down.
He sat down slowly on the ground and muttered:
"Thousands of years to take, once returned, life to me, death to the heaven......"
The spirit in the body is shining.
