Chapter 218: Light but not shining, still water runs deep
Sunset.
Dusk leaves ride the wind, yellow leaves fall off the shoulders.
Two figures walked side by side into the city, drawing long slanting shadows behind them.
With a big spear on his shoulder, covered in dust and dust, but with eyes as bright and sharp as stars, and with a hidden and silent will, he was none other than Diao Xingyun from the Xuantian Dojo.
And standing next to him was a young man with a calm face, broad shoulders, and the strides of a dragon and a tiger.
"Old Zhang," Diao Xingyun patted Zhang Buzhou's shoulder with a carefree hand, "This time with another ray of superior inspiration, I can undergo the seventh transformation."
Federal Martial Arts considers one transformation to be an inspiration, and the maximum number of transformations in history is only seven.
But after entering the ancient road, they discovered that most warriors who can transform seven times actually transform far more than seven times.
The strong ones in the Immortal Movement Realm can reach the eighth to tenth level of transformation. It is said that those taboo warriors can even surpass the level of tenth transformation.
The key lies in the various opportunities and good fortune on the ancient road.
Not to mention those great fortunes and great opportunities, there were all kinds of great medicines and heavenly medicines that made Diao Xingyun wish he could live on the ancient road forever.
Even the Xuantian Dojo behind him only had one heavenly medicine on hand, which was transplanted from the ocean of soul.
Zhang Buzhou nodded and said in a deep voice: "When your seven transformations are over, you and I will fight back and take back that great medicine!"
In the past few months since they entered the ancient road, the two met unexpectedly. They had no intention of going together as they were both loners. However, several accidents forced the two to fight side by side and finally walked together.
Diao Xingyun sighed: "Lao Zhang, during this time together, I feel that you are not as flamboyant as the rumors say."
Zhang Buzhou said calmly: "After many experiences, I have washed away all the dust, and finally found a trace of my original intention to seek the Tao."
Diao Xingyun hesitantly said: "I know you, the arrogance has been polished away by three swords, and what is left is only composure and restraint."
Zhang Buzhou glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
The two found a place to stay. Diao Xingyun went out to inquire about it and learned that the power here was Tianluodian.
"Tianluo Palace?" Diao Xingyun came back, "I think I've heard of it before."
Zhang Buzhou thought for a while and said: "Zhong Nanzhu of Tianluo Palace seems to be the first taboo sequence to fail on the ancient road."
Diao Xingyun was speechless.
He stopped at the realm of being a king at the true level, while Zhang Buzhou stopped at the extreme level of being a king.
In previous years, it would have been the scorching sun of martial arts, enough to shine for an era, but on the ancient road, it was not enough.
Although it can still run rampant in most planes, it is far less shining than those quasi-taboo and taboo sequences.
"I wonder how the others are doing now." Diao Xingyun whispered.
Just when the two were about to take a rest, there was a loud noise outside the house!
The two of them opened their eyes at the same time and came to the window to observe the situation outside. They found that the central area of the neutral city was already ablaze, and many warriors were encircling and suppressing them from all directions.
"Who dares to attack our Tianluo Palace?!"
An angry roar swept across the city in an instant.
At this moment, a sudden flash of lightning appeared on the horizon. A halberd with cold light was thrown from a high altitude and plunged into the hard surface. Under the control of the force, half of it was exposed, with a faint green light flowing.
A figure fell down, stepped firmly on the halberd, locked the figure deep in Tianluo Palace from a distance, and said casually: "Lord Zhong Nan, it's time to settle the score, surrender or die?"
"...Sen Luo?!"
After a brief silence, an incredible low roar came from the front, and a figure broke through the dome.
"Where is Ji Jingqiu?!"
Senluo said calmly: "If you lose, do you still need my elder brother to take action?"
Zhong Nanzhu's eyes were stern and he said in a solemn tone:
"A person who was once a quasi-taboo dared to talk wildly to me?!"
Senluo said calmly: "Your era has passed since you set foot on the ancient road. The general trend is like a torrent. If you go with the current, you will prosper, but if you go against the current, you will perish. If you don't know where the real dragon is, you will naturally be eliminated."
"Okay, okay!" Zhong Nanzhu laughed angrily, "I want to see what you are capable of!"
Even so, Zhong Nanzhu remained alert. He didn't believe that Sen Luo dared to come to him alone. Ji Jingqiu must be hiding in the dark!
"Why don't you let me test the waters first."
Amid a burst of hearty laughter, the young man with an imposing manner strode forward, his energy locking on Master Zhong Nan from a distance.
"Jiang Tunhai?!" Zhong Nanzhu's heart sank. Compared to Sen Luo, this person was the real enemy in his eyes.
Jiang Tunhai smiled cheerfully, took one step forward, and exploded with fist power. The mighty fist intention burst out, accompanied by a floating light, like the rays of the sunrise, dazzling in an instant, and blasted towards Master Zhong Nan!
His shot was like a signal, kicking off the war.
The war broke out instantly. The warriors from the Sun-Moon Alliance had an absolute advantage from the beginning and launched a suppression of Tianluodian!
…
As the battle in the city was about to begin, Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou "swam upstream". Instead of staying away from the center of the city like the others, they quietly sneaked into the center of the city.
Along with them, there were several other young people who were "like-minded".
"I have delivered goods to Tianluo Palace before, and I know the locations of several treasure houses. Everyone, follow me!" Someone took the lead bravely.
"How's the defense there?" someone asked.
"Don't be afraid, we have Brother Zhang and Brother Diao, we have cooperated with them before, their strength is extraordinary!" The young man who threatened to lead the way warmly introduced Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou.
Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou nodded slightly, their minds a little absent-minded.
The former's eyes flickered and said: "Zhong Nanzhu was talking about 'Ji Jingqiu' earlier, right?"
Hearing this fateful name, Zhang Buzhou nodded silently.
Diao Xingyun heard it wrong, and he couldn't have heard it wrong either!
"You don't know?" one of the people walking with him exclaimed, "Ji Jingqiu is not a simple person this time. It is said that he is the person behind the Sun and Moon Alliance. He has great strategies and deep city. He never appears. Although he is in front of the stage, the development of the Sun-Moon Alliance is all due to him. "
"There are rumors that he and Sen Luo previously teamed up to defeat Master Zhong Nan!"
"What I heard is that Ji Jingqiu defeated Master Zhong Nan by himself. Didn't you notice the tone in which Master Zhong Nan mentioned Ji Jingqiu just now? He obviously looked down upon Sen Luo, but he was only afraid of Ji Jingqiu. !”
"That makes sense!"
"I also heard..."
The few people spoke to each other and quickly sketched out the rumored image of Ji Jingqiu.
Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou looked at each other with suspicious eyes.
Listening to the descriptions of these people, "Ji Jingqiu" is not only unpredictable in strength, but also deeply scheming. He is an ambitious person hiding behind the scenes.
"The Sun-Moon Alliance is powerful, and there have long been rumors that they have the ambition to unify the ancient roads!"
"I'm afraid Tianluo Palace will be in trouble this time. If Ji Jingqiu dares to take action, he will definitely be at least 80-90% sure."
Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou looked at each other in silence.
Zhang Buzhou raised his head and looked up high. At this moment, Jiang Tunhai was fighting with Zhong Nanzhu, and Sen Luo stood with his hands behind his back, facing the wind, but they did not join hands to attack.
Diao Xingyun sent a voice message: "Do you think it will be Jingqiu?"
Zhang Buzhou took a deep breath and said: "How can there be so many coincidences with the same name in this world? It's not strange that that guy can defeat Bai Yujing with one sword and defeat another taboo."
"Brother Ji Feng Ping's murder is a bit serious," Diao Xingyun muttered, glanced at Zhang Buzhou, and said cheerfully, "Congratulations, the gold content of Zhang Sandao has increased again!"
The corners of Zhang Buzhou's mouth twitched.
Everyone dived deep and found a treasure house. Diao Xingyun and Zhang Buzhou took action at the same time, easily suppressing the king-defending warrior guarding the door.
Everyone opened the treasure house.
"Great medicine! There are actually three great medicines in this treasure house!"
"There is also a great inspiration..."
Looking at the treasures inside, everyone looked overjoyed and did not dare to delay. They quickly divided the accounts as promised when they came, everyone took what they needed, and then dispersed and fled.
Zhang Buzhou and Diao Xingyun took two large medicinal plants, turned around and ran towards the outside of the city.
en route.
Diao Xingyun suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully: "If it is really the Jingqiu we know, then why did you and I run away? Wouldn't it be over if we just joined the Sun-Moon Alliance?"
Zhang Buyi was stunned.
Paths never imagined.
And just then.
The battle in the city finally came to an end.
After the fierce battle, Zhong Nanzhu seized the opportunity and escaped alone. Sen Luo and Jiang Tunhai seemed to be prepared and followed leisurely.
After this day.
The four sides were shocked. The Sun-Moon Alliance destroyed Tianluo Palace on the grounds of old grudges. It seemed grand, but it still stirred up a huge undercurrent whirlpool under the water.
Soon after, Yue Palace officially declared war on You Mansion.
This was not uncommon in the past. The two parties were old enemies, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the situation this time was completely different, because behind the Moon Palace stood the Sun-Moon Alliance!
This incident once again caused an uproar, announcing that Gulu has officially entered the stage of competition for hegemony!
But what is even more unexpected is...
Everywhere along the ancient road, the invasion from the Nether Sea has intensified significantly. Many originally worry-free worlds have been invaded by something similar to the mist of Jambu!
For a while.
Many planes are in crisis, and many warriors have encountered huge obstacles in their exploration and travel.
…
…
Temple of Heaven.
"Your Highness, someone claims to be a descendant of Emperor Tian and wants to visit you."
In the main hall, a woman in white robes and bare feet heard the voice and slowly opened her eyes. She had a pair of standard red and phoenix eyes, which were naturally majestic when she was dignified, and were as deep as the starry sky.
The Saha of the Celestial Clan is already peerless, but in front of her, she still pales a bit.
"Bring it up." She said indifferently.
Soon, a young man strode in. He looked extremely young, but his temperament had a strange and inconsistent feeling.
When he saw Chi Ji, his eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed it and said with a smile: "Are you a goddess from the lineage of the Holy King? I am in the 'Emperor's Capital', and you are the descendant of the Emperor. As long as you help me come to this war zone , I can help you take down Ji Jingqiu of the Sun-Moon Alliance."
Chi Ji turned around, with a white cross mark in each eye, revealing a divine, flawless and domineering aura. She looked at the young man and sneered: "A broken soul, using the body of a nightmare, dare to come and play tricks on me? Huangtian Baimai, which lineage of trash are you?"
The young man's face darkened. He was born from the will of the ancient road and regarded himself as the true successor of Huangtian. At this moment, hearing Chiji humiliate Huangtian Baimai, he felt cold in his heart.
Before the young man could speak, Chi Ji seemed to have lost interest, turned around, and said calmly:
"No matter which lineage you belong to, you are nothing more than a lost dog now. How dare you bark?"
"For the sake of those former Heavenly Lords, if I don't kill you today, go away."
The young man was furious. This woman's arrogance was comparable to that of Ji Jingqiu. It was simply unreasonable!
After he left, Chiji called Saha and ordered:
"Is there any news about Ji Jingqiu recently?"
"Not yet. The alliance led by Youfu has fought two battles with the Sun and Moon Alliance, but there is still no news of Ji Jingqiu's appearance." Saha replied.
Chi Ji sneered and said:
"I didn't see it before, but this man is so calm, deep, and ambitious. He is indeed of the same lineage as the World Honored One."
"You can contact You Mansion, and the Temple of Heaven will also join this war!"
Saha said calmly: "I understand."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She did not object. In this war that swept the entire ancient road, the Sun-Moon Alliance and the Hunting God Company were on the same side. The Celestial Clan was bound to take sides and chose You Mansion without any surprise.
And at this moment.
The "ambitious" people in the eyes of everyone are still traveling the ancient roads.
…
…
Ji Jingqiu originally planned to spend a month on this return trip, but unknowingly, it took him two months before he finally returned to the headquarters of the Sun-Moon Alliance.
He did not rush on the road, but humbly accepted Hela's previous opinions, learned to slow down, and traveled and understood the world.
Each incomplete plane world is a brand new world, with different seasons and unique scenery.
Some are in the Grain Rain season, with sunny days and rainy nights. The rain produces hundreds of grains, and the soil paste pulsates, moistening things silently.
In ancient times, there was a saying called "Walking in Grain Rain". On the day of Grain Rain, walking through the streets or going for a walk in the mountains and forests meant to integrate with nature and keep fit.
Ji Jingqiu walked up the mountain forest among the lush vegetation, with a cute and fat tiger following at his feet.
The latter was curious about everything, squatting outside the grass from time to time, staring at the insects wrestling in the grass. Just as he was about to stretch out his claws, Ji Jingqiu grabbed the back of the neck, lifted him in the air like a cat, and continued to walk forward. .
Occasionally, Ji Jingqiu would be speechless when looking at the fat tiger fluttering with butterflies and falling down in front of him, but he was also a little envious of this guy's carefreeness and the comfort of a dead fish in a lotus pond in the scene.
These two guys only need to eat and sleep every day, and their strength will grow steadily with him, and they don't need to think about other things at all.
Ji Jingqiu didn't know whether to be happy or aggrieved.
After the Grain Rain season, he trekked on foot in the late autumn when there were no human beings and only the bleak mountain scenery. Even the chirping of insects seemed rustling, but there were also tallow trees standing upright, with a touch of bright red remaining among the withers.
During that time, he seemed to have forgotten all the hustle and bustle, immersed in the world, watching how the flowers bloomed, how the water flowed, and listening to the sound of the wind blowing in the jungle, and his soul was cleansed.
On his way back, he still couldn't avoid passing through many civilized cemeteries.
He had seen birds perched on the cross on the steeple of the old church, where the gods had long been silent;
I have also witnessed the steel forest submerged by the sea of trees, with vines and moss covering the time;
I even came face to face with an immortal undead. It was deep in a ruins. There was an immortal 'undead' tied to a copper pillar. It lowered its head silently and only raised its head when Ji Jingqiu approached. , with dry eyes rolling in the sockets, announcing in a hoarse voice that it is not dead yet, and its civilization has not ended.
Hela said that it was not a living thing, nor an undead spirit, but a wisp of obsession that was associated with this world and could dissipate at any time.
Ji Jingqiu was as silent as countless broken worlds passing by.
The silence of the world is also the end of civilization.
Perhaps when this undead breathed its last breath, the world would completely end.
The way many worlds end is not with a loud bang that shakes the earth, but with a whimper.
On the way, Ji Jingqiu did not forget to use the secret method [Eternal History] that he picked up from Lajiang to collect the remaining fragments of the brand of civilization.
During this journey, he also met many warriors who also traveled around the world, and discovered that practice is not just about simple battles and battles, but also has many other aspects.
For example, what he has always ignored is also the most important spiritual practice for others.
Some people use the method of penance to sharpen their mind and spirit, walking in the mountains and fields, kowtowing step by step, paying homage to heaven and earth, paying homage to the spirit in their hearts, and smiling brightly and nodding when they meet him.
There are also people who indulge in the mountains and rivers, make tea in the snow, and watch the clouds roll and relax, and all things come alive.
Others gathered more than a dozen friends, found a remote world, played "Minecraft", and had no competition with the outside world. They even made wine and invited Ji Jingqiu to their "country" Stay the night and drink together.
At the banquet, the other party sighed that this would be the last time to celebrate here. Something similar to a mist had recently appeared at the boundary of this place, which greatly increased the danger. They had to retreat. It was a pity that they had lost their lives during this period. Effort.
So before leaving, Ji Jingqiu left a wisp of heart lamp seeds as a return gift.
Along the way, there are thousands of warriors, and there seem to be thousands of martial arts.
Looking at it, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but sigh that martial arts is unrestricted, heaven and earth are unrestricted, and the great road is unrestricted.
This day.
Under the guidance of a certain fisherman who was determined to fish all the ancient roads, Ji Jingqiu sat on a 10,000-meter cliff, holding a homemade fishing rod in one hand and holding the fat tiger lying next to him with the other. His sitting posture was as quiet as a mountain, as quiet as a mountain. Wait for the fish tide to reverse.
Soon, a silver light shone below, and hundreds of silver barracudas flowed against the waterfall, jumping between the waterfalls as if they were about to leap over a dragon gate.
At the moment when one of the silver barracudas bit the hook, Ji Jingqiu's arms suddenly exerted force, and all the bodies followed him, which coincided with the mystery of "Yin and Yang are reversed in a thin line" in ancient books.
He flicked the hook directly, and a silver barracuda several meters long jumped up high, "leap" over the gantry and onto the grill.
Ji Jingqiu and Fat Hu feasted on the meal. The former secretly praised the fisherman for not deceiving others. The silver barracuda meat was indeed delicious, and it had some mysterious effect that could increase qi and blood.
certainly.
I also encountered unfavorable people on the way.
But in front of his compassion, they are not worth mentioning.
The only thing worth mentioning is that he accidentally entered some forbidden areas during this period.
The most dangerous time was when he was hunted down by two mythical creatures from the Shackle Realm. He fled in embarrassment and was injured in many places. He didn't give up until he escaped from that place.
Even at this moment, he is not hostile to the opponent's combined attack technique!
Who would have thought that the two mythical creatures on the ancient road both practiced the extremely rare art of combined attack!
Thinking of the ruins of the forbidden area, Ji Jingqiu suspected that it had once been a holy land for cultivation, and the ancestors of the two mythical creatures might have been gatekeepers.
After he escaped from the plane, he originally planned to mark this place and retaliate the next day. But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He sneaked back that night, found the right moment, and gave the two mythical creatures a knife, which made the two rocs howl. Yelling, golden feathers flying, once again staged a life and death chase.
Finally, he escaped from this place and prepared to go back and avenge his shame after his transformation was completed!
At the end of the journey, he unexpectedly found an ancient temple with a collapsed mountain gate and several lotuses blooming in the pond inside the temple.
The wind chimes on the top of the ancient temple tower move with the wind, tinkling in an ethereal way, as far away as the sound of Buddha.
On the floor of the only well-preserved side hall, there are ten characters engraved on it.
- If you want to know the body and mind, Guanyin listens to the sound of water.
It happened to rain heavily not long after, so he stopped here, sitting cross-legged in the side hall to hide from the rain, watching the rain falling from the sky, and listening to the sound of rain hitting the lotus pods in his ears.
A different sense of tranquility permeates my heart.
He sat quietly for a night, looking inwards at himself. The shadow of Bodhi behind him was swaying gently. His mind was wandering. He recalled every blooming flower and every falling leaf he had seen along the way. He returned to the pure land in his heart, and in an instant During this time, I touched the pulse of eternity.
In the end, he used the principle of impermanence to realize a ray of permanence and understand the mystery of permanence.
Even he couldn't explain this mystery for the time being.
He humbly asked La Jiang for advice, but La Jiang refused to pay attention to him, seeming to have fallen into some kind of self-isolation.
She did give Ji Jingqiu some advice that day, but it was not out of pure kindness, but she dug a hole secretly.
The mystery of divinity, not to mention a wandering warrior who has not even seen the gate between heaven and man, and the boundary between humans and gods, is also a high-ranking person who understands the principles of the law and sees the Tao like the lines on his palm.
She was looking forward to seeing this boy scratching his head and scratching his head, searching for years before he could make any progress.
As a result, this kid wandered around the world for two months, and actually realized the subtleties of permanence.
Even though he was still separated by thousands of mountains and thousands of miles of ocean, he finally saw it!
It's really unbelievable.
Hela secretly observed Ji Jingqiu.
In just two months, this boy's strength has not changed significantly, but his temperament, body and mind have undergone qualitative changes.
The Qi of a body is like a restrained but not dazzling brilliance, or like the deep water flowing under the quiet water. Although it is not showy, it contains infinite power and depth.
Light without dazzling, still water runs deep.
Finally, Hela said quietly:
[You can go back and transform. Once you have enough wisdom, you can try to open the third level of the physical body to see if you can use this as a stepping stone to enter the first sequence. 】
This is the day.
Ji Jingqiu returned to Xuzhou City where the Sun-Moon Alliance was located.
As soon as he entered Xuzhou City, Ji Jingqiu clearly discovered that the number of people in the city had increased by an unknown amount compared to a few months ago!
Looking at this situation, Sen Luo and others are developing well.
Ji Jingqiu came all the way to the alliance's stronghold in Xuzhou City, but did not sense the aura of Sen Luo and others.
According to the induction of the heart lamp, Senluo and the others were almost not in Xuzhou City, which surprised him a little.
But soon, he found Zi Sun Xin, the chief steward of the Sun and Moon Alliance.
"Brother Ji...leader! You are back!" Zi Rixin was stunned for a moment after seeing Ji Jingqiu's appearance, with a look of surprise on her face, she dropped her work and rushed over.
Ji Jingqiu nodded: "Aren't Sen Luo and the others here?"
Zi Rixin nodded: "They are at war with the Youfu Alliance."
"A war with the Youfu Alliance?" Ji Jingqiu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What war?"
Zi Rixin's eyes sparkled and said: "We have defeated the forbidden forces such as Tianluo Palace and Luofengdu, and completed the unification of the south of the ancient road. Now the temporary alliance led by Youfu is resisting. Soon, we will be able to Break through this line of defense, march straight in, join Wuyoutian, Wanxiang Tianguo and others in the north of the ancient road, and lay the foundation for the unification of the ancient road! "
Looking at Ji Jingqiu, whom he had not seen for a long time, the admiration in Zi Rixin's heart did not diminish at all, but became stronger.
Just because of this one person, the unification of forces in the north of the ancient road has been almost completed.
When the Vientiane Heavenly Kingdom and other forces proactively contacted them, they even suspected that the other party was deceiving them!
"Wait a minute..." Ji Jingqiu raised his hand and rubbed his temples, breathing deeply, "The foundation of the unified ancient road?"
He suddenly remembered Ji Anquan's instructions before leaving -
Swordsmen rise from the south of the ancient road...
Ji Jingqiu tightened her clothes subconsciously.
I feel a bit chilly for no reason. Could it be that severe winter has arrived?
