Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 462 Dragon Tiger Beast

There is no time at the bottom of the river.

Fang Dushu devoted himself to refining the dish of enlightenment for ten years.

As his "Way of Four Symbols" reached perfection, the date for passing through the Nascent Soul was gradually approaching.

Since the beginning of autumn this year, the entire Dapan King City has been on standby. From the leader of the country, Master Fu Yuan, down to the four major disciples, as well as the disciples of Fengming Mansion and Zhenwen Mansion, almost all of them have been mobilized to guard Fang Dushu in retreat. The two sides of the Nascent Soul Furnace jointly participated in his advanced protection.

After he refined the dish for enlightenment, he sent a message saying that he would be able to attain enlightenment within the next few days. However, God was not kind to him. Autumn rain had fallen throughout Hexi for several days in a row, and there was still no sign of stopping.

This autumn rain was not heavy, but it was continuous, bathing the entire Owa City in a curtain of dripping water.

Except for the monks who protected Fang Dushu, who always stayed in their positions along both sides of the river, the rest stayed in the cave. Even during the day, not many pedestrians could be seen.

Until noon that day.

A water-absorbing whirlpool suddenly appeared on the river. It was undetectable at first. As the river water continued to pour in, the whirlpool began to rise steadily, reaching a height of a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

Seen from a distance, this whirlpool looks like a tornado water column hanging down on the river. Although the diameter of the water column is less than ten feet and its appearance is slightly slender, it still instantly alarmed the monks on the river bank.

"Dragon sucks water!"

On a hilltop on the north bank of the river, a burst of exclamations rang out first.

There is a Yin Honglian platform on the top of the mountain. The four disciples Di Honglin, Qiao Baimei, He Tiezhang and Su Batnu are sitting on the platform holding formation flags and staring at the whirlpool intently. They have been protecting the Dharma here for several years. No matter what happens, they can't hide it from their eyes and ears.

When the vortex broke out of the river just now, they clearly sensed that the vortex force erupted from the oven barrier where Fang Dushu was retreating. This meant that Fang Dushu had begun to understand his own way, and was not being harassed by external enemies.

Around the lotus platform where they sit, there are also hundreds of disciples with different cultivation levels. Most of these people are their disciples and assist them in protecting the Dharma here.

When Fang Dushu attained enlightenment, he first created the scene of a dragon sucking water. His disciples found it extremely strange and wanted to know the reason.

As a result, before the disciples could say anything, the tornado water column suddenly accelerated its speed and spread a suction force, pulling all the raindrops within a hundred miles radius.

'Whoosh!Whoosh! 'The sound of torrent soon resounded in the air.

The raindrops all over the sky were like arrows, all shot towards the tornado water column, hitting the column surface and blending into it.

After a while, all the autumn rain in the entire Dabaan King City was captured, and the sky in the city cleared up. Even though there were still dark clouds, not a drop of rain fell anymore.

"The rain has stopped!"

The disciples stretched out their palms and looked up at the sky, sighing at the sudden change in weather conditions.

Di Honglin and He Tiezhang also raised their heads, thinking, what secret method is the junior brother mastering that can control the natural weather?

While I was thinking about it, I heard a crash in my ears!With a sound, the tornado water column that pulled the raindrops suddenly collapsed and collapsed into a ball of dark green water, which fell back to the river surface.

After the tornado water column disintegrated, a hundred-foot-high sky-holding giant sword revealed its true form from the water column.

This giant sword is completely made of condensed raindrops. It is completely clear and transparent. The sword body is like crystal, hanging over the river, releasing dazzling waves.

"Junior brother must be studying swordsmanship. His method can integrate autumn rain, maybe it is called 'Autumn Rain Sword'!" Su Bat Girl is the youngest among the four. She is usually taken care of by the three senior brothers, and she always speaks well. Just express what you feel.

Di Honglin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Junior brother, this sword technique can draw rainwater and increase the power of the sword. It is indeed extraordinary. The name of Qiu Yu Sword is also appropriate."

Di Honglin praised the words, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. If the Tao method that Fang Dushu has learned this time is only the magical power of controlling rain, it will not meet everyone's expectations, at least compared to "Liang Yi Tao" The magic-devouring magical power must be inferior.

He Tiezhang has been dating Fang Dushu for the longest time, and Fang Dushu is also the most confident.

He continued: "When we were at Fuyao Tower, my junior brother once followed Uncle Shi Geng and Junior Sister Shi Liufang from Qingshi Palace to explore the Starry Mansion, and broke through the Star Moving Illusion Formation left by the Starry Demon Saint. This time he realizes the Tao and becomes a baby, he will definitely be able to create another mysterious method. This rain sword is just the beginning, and the new magical power should not be revealed yet, so we might as well wait and see!"

When Su Batnu and Di Honglin heard this, they couldn't help but smile. They sincerely hoped that He Tiezhang's judgment was correct. The more powerful Fang Dushu understood the Taoism, the more blessings they would receive as fellow disciples.

The second child, Qiao Baimei, never said a word. Ever since the whirlpool appeared on the river, he had been observing it attentively without any distractions in his mind.

The four major disciples under Master Fu Yuan, Di Honglin, He Tiezhang and Su Batnu, have all formed Nascent Souls, but Qiao Baimei is still in the golden elixir stage.

Ten years ago, Dushu presented three heavily loaded fish to Master Fu Yuan. Master Fu Yuan gave two of them to the four major disciples. Qiao Baimei received half of them. After he accepted the fish, he also began to understand his own path.

However, his qualifications are inferior to Fang Dushu. Fang Dushu spent ten years refining the dish, and he is still trying to figure it out.

He knew that Fang Dushu was an unparalleled Taoist genius in the world of immortality, and the Taoist methods he had learned would definitely inspire him, so he decided to observe the whole process and made up his mind not to omit any details.

He wanted to learn from Fang Dushu's experience in order to achieve his own goal.

Di Honglin, He Tiezhang and Su Batnu all knew what he was thinking and didn't bother him.

Looking at the surface of the river again, not long after the rain sword condensed, the river rolled rapidly, and soon three more whirlpools emerged.

However, these whirlpools did not leave the river. After a whistling sound, three rays of light flew out of the whirlpool at the same time. They escaped as fast as thunder. In almost the blink of an eye, they had already rushed into the sky and disappeared into the dark clouds high in the sky.

The three rainbows of light escape so fast that no one can capture their true form.

When the rainbow of light escaped into the clouds, it began to flash into a halo of blue, yellow, and white colors, intersecting for a moment, and the dense dark clouds within a hundred miles in radius instantly disappeared without a trace.

Not long ago it was cloudy and rainy, but now the clouds have opened and the sun has risen.

At this time, the sky was as blue as a mirror, and the bright sun hung high in the sky, shooting down a beam of light that enveloped the entire Dabaan King City, creating a bright and sunny scene.

The three light rainbows also took advantage of the situation and fell back, turning into three hundred-foot giant swords, hanging around Yujian.

These four swords are horns to each other, forming a circular sword array, floating quietly above the river.

Among them, the giant sword in the east is dark green in color, with jasper lightning all over the sword, and a sonorous sound of thunder resounds within the sword.

The western sword burned with yellow-brown flames, as if it were made of fierce fire. The sound of fire flowed on the sword, forming a strange sound similar to the cry of birds.

The Rain Sword is located in the south, silent and colorless, but there is water flowing inside the sword, showing traces of its existence.

The North Sword is filled with cold air, and its entire body seems to be carved out of ice and snow. The shadow of falling snowflakes appears on the sword, and it emits a low whistle.

The outlines of the four swords are exactly the same, but their appearance and color are completely different, and their sword skills and magical powers are also different.

After they come out of the river, they first capture the rain, then drive away the dark clouds, and return the blue sky to a clear sky.However, the reach of their sword power is limited to King Opan's city.

Outside the city, there are still dark clouds and mist, and the autumn rain is pouring down, with raindrops filling the sky and the earth.

Today, the inside and outside of the city are like two different worlds.

When the sky cleared, the hundreds of thousands of monks who usually lived in the city had already walked out of the cave and gathered on both sides of the Qinghe River. Either with yearning eyes or awe, they all focused their attention on the four swords.

Naturally, it is inevitable to have divergent discussions. What kind of Taoism manifested these four swords?

On the river where the four swords hang, the four major disciples Di Honglin and He Tiezhang sit on the north bank, while the south bank is guarded by disciples from Fengming Mansion and Zhenwen Mansion.

At the head are two Nascent Soul monks, Master Xuanjin and Patriarch Zhiruo. They sit together on a blood lotus, with Qi Changzhen and Liang Shengyin sitting cross-legged behind them.

Ten years ago, Master Xuanjin was invited to Fengming Mansion by Qi Changzhen. Since Qi Daoming did not return from abroad, she also became the backbone of the disciples of the two mansions.

Patriarch Zhiruo received the favor of Chongduyu and promised to help Fang Dushu to protect the Dharma. After she and Liang Shengyin completed the service of fish, they moved from Yuelong Realm to Fengming Mansion and have been here ever since.

After holding on for so long, Fang Dushu finally waited for his breakthrough moment today.

However, Patriarch Zhiwei knew nothing about Fang Dushu's enlightenment. When she saw the four swords volleying in the air, she turned to ask Master Xuanjin: "What kind of Tao has Xiaofang realized?"

Master Xuan Jin slowly shook his head: "I don't know either, maybe Chang'er knows something!"

The eyes of the disciples from the two houses immediately fell on Qi Changzhen's face.

Qi Changzhen did understand something: "This set of swordsmanship is called "Four Symbols Swordsmanship". It is derived from his "Liangyi Dao" by Ashu. It refers to Master Fu Yuan's "Rejuvenation Dao" and is divided into four parts. As for swordsmanship, when Ashu first understood this Tao, he intended to give it the power of the four seasons and celestial phenomena. The water sword just absorbed the autumn rain all over the city, and it must contain the power of autumn. He must have fully understood this Tao, but his magical power has not yet been revealed. What a deviation!”

"The power of the seasons?"

Patriarch Zhiruo pointed to the river and asked, "According to what you said, Chang, the green sword in the east should be the Sword of Spring, the fire sword in the west should be the Sword of Summer, and the snow sword in the north should be the Sword of Winter." Sword! The Sword of Autumn can control the rainy season weather. Can the other three swords also control the spring, summer and snowy winter weather?"

"Judging from the spellcasting of the Sword of Autumn, it should be possible, but it is not ruled out that there may be some flaws!"

Qi Changzhen didn't finish her words, she smiled and said: "Now that the Four Swords have been born, enlightenment is just around the corner. Patriarch might as well wait for a while, wait for Ashu to advance successfully, and then ask him personally."

Qi Changzhen only knew a rough idea of ​​"Four Symbols Kendo", and she was still confused as to what the real essence was.

However, judging from the Sword of Autumn's magical power to control rain, the other three swords should be able to control the thunder of spring, the waves of summer, and the ice and snow of winter respectively.

There are only four seasons in the world: spring, summer, autumn and winter. No matter what time or place you run "Four Symbols Kendo", you can definitely control the weather at that time and use it to your advantage.

Qi Changzhen even boldly guessed that if the four-season weather could increase the sword power of "Four Symbols of Swordsmanship", then the magical power would be earth-shattering.

Liang Shengyin on the side felt a little aggrieved when she heard Qi Changzhen's close relationship with Fang Dushu. In fact, she had no objection to Qi Changzhen, but felt that Qi Changzhen and Fang Dushu were a good match.

But when it came to her junior sister Fu Yuqing, her mentality changed. She felt depressed for her junior sister. It was clear that her junior sister met Fang Dushu first, so why did Qi Chang really get there first and become Mrs. Fang?

Having said that, Mrs. Fang's identity has been established for hundreds of years, and it has long been settled and cannot be changed.

Liang Shengyin lamented in her heart and didn't want to think about it further.

She suddenly asked aloud: "On these four divine swords, only the climate and astronomical phenomena are revealed, and the Taoism is unclear. Is it the righteous way or the devil's way? What other ways are needed?"

Qi Changzhen pointed her finger in the sky: "Sister, look quickly, the great sage Chaoyue is appearing. This must be a demon way, and it is the best method among demons!"

After she finished speaking, she saw a bloody crescent moon emerging among the four giant swords.

Looking inside the crescent moon, two small figures suddenly appeared. They were less than a foot tall and only the size of a hand when standing upright.

They were originally hidden in the moon, and only a shadow remained. Their faces were blurred and could not be seen clearly.

But soon, they began to fight close to each other, directly from inside the moon to outside.

When their bodies were exposed in the air, the monks on both sides of the river could clearly see their true appearance.

One of the villains has the outline of a human body, but its skin is made of red fish scales, its feet are golden hooves, it has a pair of cyan bat ears, and it is inlaid with two silver round eyes.

Many monks on the river bank recognized its identity at a glance. It was the rejuvenating lotus spirit of Master Fu Yuan, the leader of the country.

The other little figure has an extremely unfamiliar appearance. It has a dragon head, and its dragon eyes look around, showing a wild and ferocious appearance. Although it walks upright, its limbs are all tiger claws, and its chest is also covered with tiger skin patterns. It's like a spiritual beast that is a hybrid between dragon and tiger.

The magic power revealed by this dragon-tiger beast is only that of the golden elixir stage, but it is not afraid of death. It pounces on the rejuvenating lotus spirit and strikes hard with its claws. At first, the lotus spirit is not afraid of the dragon-tiger beast, but every time this beast uses its power, They would pull four giant swords and use their sword power to strike at the lotus spirit. The lotus spirit was tired of dealing with it and suddenly turned around and ran away.

The dragon and tiger beast did not chase, but stayed in the sword formation alone.

Lian Ling flew out of the river in one breath and headed straight to the palace on the north bank.

At this time, the square outside the palace was crowded with people, numbering in the thousands at least. From where they stood, they could overlook the panoramic view of the river. They could all see the scene of the lotus spirit and the dragon and tiger beasts fighting.

Master Fu Yuan stood in the front row. On his left was Master Zhuge from Yuelong Realm, and on his right was Master Chu from Beiting Realm. Behind the three of them stood dozens of Nascent Soul monks, each with representatives from the Five Sacred Palaces. .

Seeing the return of the lotus spirit, Master Fu Yuan immediately stretched out his hand and took the lotus spirit into his palm.

Master Chu saw that Lian Ling was in a very embarrassed state and asked, "What is the origin of that dragon-tiger spirit beast that actually defeated Junior Brother Fu's rejuvenation spirit and fled?"

Master Fu Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's not like escaping! The Dragon Tiger Beast is the spirit of my disciple's Dharma "Four Symbols Way". It is determined to protect the master and insists on fighting the disaster for my disciple alone. It does not allow outsiders to interfere. My The Rejuvenation Spirit is not trusted by it, and we cannot fight it to the death, so we can only return temporarily!"

Master Chu had already guessed that the Dragon Tiger Beast was the spirit of Dharma, but he still sighed: "From ancient times to the present, the birth of the spirit of Dharma requires hundreds of thousands of years of nurturing and cultivation before it can slowly summon the spirit body. It is rare for Junior Brother Fu to be able to successfully summon spirits at the very beginning of his enlightenment. I never thought that my disciple would also inherit your mantle, you are worthy of being passed down from one generation to the next!"

He had a sour taste in his heart. He had already planned to recruit Fang Dushu to his sect, but Fang Dushu participated in the "Tao of Rejuvenation" for Master Fu Yuan and helped Master Fu Yuan obtain the magic spirit of his life. He was cut off halfway. As a result, he lost his relationship with Fang Dushu.

Master Fu Yuan understood his depression and replied quietly: "To say that it is passed down from the same line, there are indeed some. After all, he followed the method of summoning spirits from "The Tao of Rejuvenation"."

In fact, Fang Dushu has already surpassed his former prowess.

Master Fu Yuan had just communicated with the lotus spirit. He was surprised to find that the dragon and tiger beast actually had the power to weaken the lotus spirit, as if it was born to restrain the lotus spirit.

Whether this special power will only explode when targeting the lotus spirit, or whether it can restrain all Dharma spirits, Master Fu Yuan does not know for the time being. He will ask Fang Dushu face to face when he completes the test.
