The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 488: Almost Tao
Old Man Kuzhu did not torture the three Mo Zhui brothers, but instead prepared to let them and the little people roam free in the bamboo forest.

Mo Zhui and the others were not convinced and kept questioning them, their tone becoming increasingly stronger, as if they were intentionally provoking them.

The old man Kuzhu was not angry at his question, but he became suspicious: "I have no intention of harming you. You keep asking questions like this. Are you looking for death?"

Mo Zhui sneered: "Old man, do you dare to kill us?"

The old man with withered bamboo narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his pupils, staring at Mo Zhui intently.

Suddenly, he pointed the bamboo stick and said, "I want to see what's wrong with you!"

A stream of green light gushed out from the front of the bamboo stick, covering Mo Zhui. "I heard that you have the Three Talents Peaceful Circle, a great treasure. Do you think you can deal with me with your magic weapon? If so, why don't you take it out and give it a try? Let's see if an old man like me can take it off?"

That "Mo Zhui" suddenly laughed, and then his body swelled rapidly, turning into a man of purple-blue light from head to toe. The five-colored divine light attached to the outside of his body expanded instantly.

"Snap!" With a crisp sound, the green light emitted from the front end of the bamboo stick in the old man's hand was actually shattered.

Looking at the little man again, he had turned into Shi Feiyang: "Fellow Daoist Kuzhu, how are you?"

Old Man Kuzhu was quite surprised. According to his calculations, Shi Feiyang should be at Tucui Peak at this time, and it is impossible for him to be at Wuzhong Ridge in the Great Wilderness Mountain.

He took a few steps back, staring at Shi Feiyang intently: "You tampered with the days and made my calculations inaccurate, but how did you turn into a plant spirit?"

Shi Feiyang smiled faintly: "I have my own magical method, do you want to learn it? I will teach you?"

The old man Kuzhu was embarrassed, then his face turned angry: "You dare to come to my great wilderness mountain, that's the best!"

"That's right!" Shi Feiyang said, "You have been looking for me to avenge us, haven't you? I'm here, just use whatever means you have!"

The old man with withered bamboo stopped talking nonsense and swung his bamboo stick, and green light spurted out from the front end again.

Shi Feiyang spread out his ten fingers, and five-colored divine light shot out from his fingertips to face it.

The two men faced each other. Shi Feiyang was on the left, and his ten fingers emitted the Jia Wood Divine Light, the Yi Wood Divine Light, and so on, all the way to the Gui Water Divine Light, using all five elements at the same time, which was ten against one.

However, the magical power of the old man with withered bamboo is far more powerful than his. The pure bamboo in his hand is an ancient spiritual root, a treasure that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The green light it emits becomes stronger and stronger, and the five-colored divine light gradually retreats.

Shi Feiyang's wrists shook slightly, and the ten-colored light turned into a single color of crystal clear white, all transformed into Gengjin essence.

Old Man Kuzhu has lived in the Great Wilderness Mountain for a long time. This place is located in the easternmost part, where the essence of the wood element is the strongest. All his magic spells are based on the wood element.

Metal can overcome wood, and Geng Metal's essence continues to grow thicker and longer as his magic power is output, and it counterattacks.

The old man with withered bamboo was slightly startled. He opened his mouth and spit out true energy. A large number of silver stars appeared in the green light that came out from the end of his staff.

Although his magic is based on wood, he is not biased towards one of them. He has practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years, so he naturally knows the disadvantages of doing so. Instead, he uses the method of Xuanmen Alchemy, using wood to circulate Qi and gold to circulate liquid. Shaoyang is combined with Shaoyin, and gold and wood are combined to form the Taiyi Dao. The silver light that is emitted is exactly the Taiyi Qingling Divine Light that he has refined!

This light was not afraid of the five elements, so it began to counterattack against Shi Feiyang's Gengjin essence.

Shi Feiyang was already satisfied that he could fight this old guy with weapons with his bare hands. After all, the old man had been practicing for one thousand two hundred to three hundred years, so he had to give him enough respect.

If others use treasures, he has to use them too!

Shi Feiyang transformed the Gengjin essence back into a combination of ten colors of the five elements, then exhaled true energy from his mouth, wrapping a layer of purple-green divine flames around the ten beams of light and burning them towards the opposite side.

"Purple-green Tushita Fire!" The old man with withered bamboo saw how powerful it was, and fearing that the Green Spirit Pearl would be damaged, he threw his bamboo stick into the air.

Back then, he also took a bamboo stick from the Tianwai Divine Mountain, but that one was just picked up from the roadside and its power was far less than this one.

The bamboo stick rose into the air, split into six, and six into thirty-six, forming a six-root pure formation. The big hexagon was wrapped in six small hexagons, and it fell straight down from the sky, trapping Shi Feiyang in the middle.

He came up with this bamboo formation from the "Dry Bamboo Zen Sutra". Once it is set up, it can destroy a person's five senses and six consciousnesses: vision, smell, hearing, taste, touch, etc. All of them will be distorted and changed, under the control of the person who set up the formation, and can even be completely sealed and deprived!

Shi Feiyang did not dare to be careless, and immediately sacrificed the emerald jade lotus pod, turning it into a huge green lotus throne.

He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, feeling the nine streams of green air rising from below, inhaling them into his body, transforming them into pure spiritual energy...

Compared with the old man Kuzhu, he is more skilled in Taoism and has stronger magic weapons, but his magic power is a shortcoming, the gap is too big.

He had to use this lotus pod to replenish himself. Sitting on the lotus pod, feeling the surging immortal energy continuously pouring into his body, he suddenly felt that even if the two elders of Dahuang came together, he would probably be invincible. He just didn't know what unexpected mysteries the Star-Absorbing Divine Hairpin had.

The bamboo formation around has been set up, and the thirty-six bamboos have disappeared into the void, but Shi Feiyang can sense them rotating around him. During the rotation process, it was as if the six realms of reincarnation had been opened. Each of the six small hexagons seemed to open a space, in which there were celestial beings, Asuras, humans, hungry ghosts, animals, and hell. There seemed to be endless space below, and there were many sentient beings who were laughing or crying, cursing or swearing, and each of them had a huge suction force, trying to suck him in.

Shi Feiyang pinched his hands and performed a spiritual spell. Thousands of petals of the blue lotus under his seat flipped over and over again, and clear light like water waves shot out from the tips of the petals to protect him.

The six spaces couldn't absorb his body, so they began to absorb his spirit and soul.

The six realms match the conditions of all sentient beings: those who are very angry and prone to anger will be attracted by the hell realm with the strongest attraction; those who are ignorant and stubborn will be pulled madly by the animal realm; those who are particularly greedy will be sucked into the hungry ghost realm.

These are the three evil paths corresponding to the three poisons mentioned in Buddhism.

If one has accumulated a lot of merit, he will be sucked into the heavenly realm; if one has committed the most serious sins of killing, he will be sucked into the Asura realm.

In short, no matter what creature it is, whether it is good or evil, brave or cowardly, strong or weak, there is always one that suits you!
Shi Feiyang had more than eight million merits, and the hole in the human world had the greatest suction on him, causing the Ninth Rank Green Lotus to rotate continuously to offset the pull on his body.

The absorption of the soul can only be resisted by relying on the state of mind.

The more merits one accumulates, the stronger the pull of Heaven will be. With more than eight million merits, the suction force is almost as strong as that of two planets!

Fortunately, Shi Feiyang's mood was still good. He sat firmly on the green lotus, without moving or shaking.

Upon seeing this, Kuzhu formed seals with his hands and began to play the guitar in circles with his fingers.

"Pah, pah, pah!" Several sparks fell into the hexagonal hole in the sky, and then fairies flew out one by one.

The female celestial beings all had pretty faces, dressed in golden gauze clothes and carrying flower baskets. They flew over Shi Feiyang's head, circled and danced, and scattered the flowers in the baskets down, like a scattering of flowers by fairies.

Shi Feiyang praised: "This is already very beautiful! But it is a bit monotonous with only the flying dance, it should be matched with some beautiful music!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of celestial maidens appeared, holding musical instruments such as pipa and flute in their hands and began to play.

Shi Feiyang took out the Dongling Zheng and said, "Your music is too vulgar. Let me play a song for you!"

He plucked the zither with both hands, and the twelve strings jumped and were immediately led into the void, but the sound continued.

After many years, he had already "seen the truth", and when he played the Dongling Zheng again, he had begun to move from the "realm of earthly sounds" of those days to the more advanced "realm of heavenly sounds".

The twelve strings can produce hundreds of kinds of tones. The heartstrings drive the strings, and the heart responds, just like a large orchestra playing together.

There were many kinds of musical instruments made in ancient China, and almost all objects that could make sounds were used to make musical instruments.

In the end, our ancestors preferred the "sound of stringed instruments and bamboo instruments".

Just like the Chinese tried various syllable ranges and finally determined the five correct tones, it is mainly related to the resonance of the heart of the zither.

The Chinese discovered long ago that sound can affect a person's mood and thus their body, so they only use the five correct sounds to cultivate one's sentiments, rather than just knowing the five tones.

Similarly, the Chinese have tried musical instruments made of various materials such as gold, wood, jade, and stone, and finally chose wooden instruments as the main ones because their sound can make people feel more peaceful and suitable for self-cultivation.

The Chinese have also played metal instruments, but they believe that listening to them too much is bad for the body. Chinese ancestors did not encourage people to listen to all kinds of heavy metal music, which can make people get intoxicated, make their blood boil, and bring tears to their eyes, because it can easily drive people crazy.

Although there are bells and chimes, they are usually used in ceremonies or rituals, and wooden instruments such as sheng and yu are mostly used in daily life.

At this time, Shi Feiyang was playing all kinds of metal and stone sounds with the Dongling Zheng, which were sonorous and powerful, and tinkling.

The opening was the sound of the suona, which soared into the sky, and the song "A Cut Plum" was blown straight up to the sky, as if it was about to pierce the sky. Then, thousands of drums were struck at the same time, with the ultra-low drum sound matched with the extremely high suona sound, and mixed with metal flutes...

Listening to it, one's heart and soul will burst forth from the chest straight into the skull, uncontrollably. The climax is always played with suona, which continues to rise, making one feel as if an invisible force is about to penetrate the skull, giving one the urge to soar into the sky...

Old man Kuzhu felt very uncomfortable after listening to this song. The essence of his lower dantian surged to his middle dantian, the true energy of his middle dantian sprayed to his upper dantian, and the spirit of his upper dantian went out of his head. After listening to half of the song, his Nascent Soul almost jumped out of his chest!
And the "celestial maidens" dancing around Shi Feiyang could not bear it any more. Their heads exploded one after another "bang bang bang" and dispersed into wisps of golden light.

After destroying these celestial maidens, Shi Feiyang changed the sound of the piano into the clear sound of a flute, not a bamboo flute, but a jade flute, and the sound was even clearer.

The flute sounds melodious, but compared with the bamboo flute, the jade flute sounds a bit colder and less lively.

Human sounds drive changes in people's emotions, earthly sounds can drive the circulation of the earth's energy, and heavenly sounds can reverse the flow of the sky!

Soon, the surrounding air began to freeze, and many six-pointed ice crystal snowflakes emerged from the void.

After playing for a while, the six pure bamboos began to be covered with a layer of ice flowers, and then in the eyes of the dead bamboos, they turned into branches of plum blossoms.

"Not good!" The old man Kuzhu hurriedly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He formed seals with his hands and pushed forward. Eight portals emerged from the ground, arranged according to the Nine Palaces, forming a formation.

Then, he threw out a series of nine orbs, which flew and hung above the gate of the formation.

Even so, the sound of the flute could not be completely blocked out.

Old Man Kuzhu was horrified. In his life of more than a thousand years, this was the first time he saw someone bring music to such a level, almost close to Taoism!
