Knife splashing

Chapter 622: Snow Mountain Cultivation, Each Has Its Own Path

Those who are bound by rules can never break through.

Sharifei has been in the underworld since he was a child and has experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. Sometimes he likes to be sneaky and take advantage of others, but these are habits he has developed over the years.

Being at the bottom of society, good people will only be bullied.

Since traveling with Li Yan and the others, Sharifei has become much more restrained and gradually adapted, but he is still a layman when it comes to Xuanmen.

That's why he had no idea.

Perhaps it was because of his contact with the Qingcheng Sect in recent days. The first thing that came to Sha Lifei's mind when he saw this sentence was Cheng Jianxian's astonishing sword.

He had seen the sword before, it was just an ordinary iron sword.

Cheng Jianxian was even exhausted and could no longer use his powerful magic, but that sword still cut short Lu Sheng's dream.

He asked, this is called sword intent.

So when Sharifei saw the description of the Emei elder in the "Meishan Firearms Manual", an idea came to his mind:
Why can't you practice using a gun as if it were a sword?
In the first volume of the "Meishan Firearms Collection", a new method of refining firearms was mentioned:
Saltpeter and sulfur are the bones, cinnabar is the soul. Lead and mercury can ward off evil spirits, and thunder symbols can be used as guides. When making guns and cannons, the twenty-eight constellations should be engraved on the chamber, fire-avoiding patterns should be engraved on the bottom, and the seal of breaking evil should be engraved on the mouth. Then the fire will sound like a dragon's roar, and the bullets will be like falling stars.

Although it is just a concept, it also points out a way of thinking.

Treat firearms as magical tools.

By nurturing the gun with heart and soul and making the weapon feel spiritual, perhaps one can reach a whole new realm where man and gun become one and the power is unmatched.

Of course, Sharifei didn't tell anyone.

He knows what he's doing.

Practicing magic is inherently a dangerous thing, and there are many people who get injured and suffer backlash, let alone finding a way out on your own.

Neither Li Yan nor Wang Daoxuan would agree.

But Sharifei still decided to do it.

Life is too short and he doesn't want to have any regrets.

Calming his mind, Sharifei carefully put away the "Meishan Firearms Code", fastened the White-robed Bodhisattva bracelet tightly, and chanted the mantra to open the altar.

He was used to seeing Wang Daoxuan perform rituals and was very familiar with the procedures, but this was his first time performing it.

He spitted water from his mouth and took firm steps, making mistakes again and again.

Finally, the opening of the altar was successful, and with the help of the wisp of evil energy that was attracted, Sharifei finally entered the spiritual space.

If you want to build a building, you must first concentrate.

After these days of hard work, he has already succeeded.

But in front of me, there was a blurry shadow standing, wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat, and there was a shadow of a gun behind him.

To preserve one's spiritual appearance, one usually needs a blueprint.

For example, the disciples of the great Taoist sects, whether they are visualizing gods and Buddhas or visualizing their ancestors, all have a fixed process and will never make mistakes.

But the remaining unconventional ways can only rely on luck.

Except for Li Yan, who was influenced by the Daluo Dharmakaya, the gods visualized by the others were all reactions of their subconscious minds.

A straw raincoat and hat represent the vicissitudes of life in the martial arts world.

A blurred face indicates that the path of concentration is uncertain.

The gun behind him foreshadows his path of cultivation.

What Sharifei didn't know was that when others wanted to preserve their spirits, they usually had to have an appearance first and couldn't directly possess a magical weapon.

Even Li Yan only got the Soul-Catching Rope later...

…………

The cold wind howled and the snow rolled.

Lu San was wrapped in a bearskin cloak, squatting in a sheltered place. The little white fox, the falcon, and the rat, Rat Er, were all huddled in his arms.

Wu Ba had the simplest mind and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

He never thought too much. Following the team, he had food and drink, and Li Yan, Wang Daoxuan and others took care of everything. All he had to do was take action.

Wang Daoxuan, on the other hand, looked at the opposite side with a worried look on his face.

The cave there has been sealed, but even so, his Yin-Yang Qi Eyes can see the evil Qi gathering again and again.

"Master, don't worry."

Lu San said in a muffled voice: "Lao Sha has great fortune, he will definitely succeed."

"Well, it will definitely succeed."

Wang Daoxuan also nodded slightly and looked into the distance.

Li Yan had a lot of things to worry about, with Lu San and Sha Lifei assisting him, while he, as the oldest member of the team, was mainly responsible for staying in the rear.

As you get older, you can see many things more clearly.

Among the team, he was most worried about Sharifei.

Li Yan, Lu San, and even Wu Ba, all have incredible talents. What seems simple to them may be an insurmountable obstacle for others.

This is also Sharifei's concern, he is always afraid of dragging everyone down.

For them, the real difficulty is not building the building.

But to overcome this hurdle in your heart!
Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter.

Finally, a sound was heard from a cave in the distance.

There was a boom.

The stones piled up at the entrance of the cave were overturned heavily.

Looking at Lao Sha who ran out excitedly, Wang Daoxuan finally smiled, and Lu San, who had not slept all night, also muttered and fell asleep.

After Sha Lifei succeeded, Wang Daoxuan also began to practice.

The divine power that Li Yan gave him has been stored in the talisman he bought in Qingcheng. It is not as secretive as the Gou Die. The powerful Qi aura makes him tremble in his heart all the time.

Fortunately, Li Yan has shared his experience.

Wang Daoxuan's "Five Divine Secrets" also recorded detailed methods, so he could easily integrate the divine power into his spiritual practice.

He looked very simple, just like an old Taoist priest, no different from the statues in the temple, except that he held a small arrow in his left hand and a straw man in his right hand.

That’s right, Wang Daoxuan also has secrets.

He had a high talent for spellcasting, and his Seven Arrows Spell had already been condensed into a divine artifact, indicating that this spell was extremely advanced.

Wang Daoxuan was also too lazy to say anything.

After all, he has always been deeply ashamed of this matter.

His ambition was to be a wise man who could ward off disasters and pray for blessings. Killing people at will was not what he wanted.

After absorbing the divine power, as he practiced the magic formula, a cloud of white mist gradually surged at the chest of the statue.

This is his magical power.

By consuming this Qi, you can enhance the power of the spell.

The longer you practice, the more times and durations of blessings you will receive.

By the time Wang Daoxuan pushed open the stone pestle and came out, it was already evening.

"Brother Yan hasn't come out yet?"

He looked around and frowned slightly.

"fine."

Lu San comforted him, "I can hear his heartbeat. It's still steady, but it just got a little faster. It should be over soon."

"That's good."

Wang Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, went to the nearby fire to warm himself, took the meat soup cooked by Lu San, and filled his stomach with the hot pancakes.

However, when it was dark, Li Yan had not yet come out.

The Bai family woman looked outside the cave anxiously, "Today is the fifteenth day. Senior Sister Long will send a message. Everyone wait here. I'll go over there and take a look."

Wang Daoxuan understood and looked at Sha Lifei, "Old Sha, you can go with me so that I can take care of you."

"Row."

Sharifei nodded and agreed readily.

He knew clearly what Wang Daoxuan was thinking. He was simply afraid that Li Yan had not come out yet and he would be too embarrassed to go see Long Yaner.

But to be honest, he wasn't worried at all.

He had blind trust in Li Yan.

Soon, the two left the cave and disappeared into the darkness of the snow...

…………Lu San was right, Li Yan was indeed fine.

There were just some minor setbacks before.

When he was absorbing the spiritual charm from the shrine of the Queen Mother of the West, inexplicably, wisps of incense gathered from the void.

Silently, regardless of spatial distance.

The mountain-like statue of the Queen Mother of the West above also changed. It seemed to come alive, with its two stone eyes looking down.

Li Yan didn't care at all. This little bit of incense power could be easily broken by using the evil energy.

However, things have changed.

The power of these incense sticks quickly merged into the spiritual space.

Instantly, the Sea of ​​Ghosts roared, Luofeng Mountain shook, and the sky turned blood red, as if countless people were fighting...

The damage wasn't great, but the noise was considerable.

Li Yan also immediately understood what this was.

The five remnants of heaven!

The Queen Mother of the West in ancient times was a fierce deity who was in charge of the "Five Heavenly Sins" and the "Immortality Elixir".

The so-called "Five Disasters of Heaven" are plague, war, famine, flood and earthquake, five disasters that ancient people feared.

The power of the incense mixed into the space where the mind was stored, and with the help of that little bit of evil energy, it turned into five kinds of strange energy, which was very difficult to deal with.

It took Li Yan half a day to completely remove it.

Why does it sound a bit demonic?
He was very familiar with this feeling.

A guess popped up in Li Yan's mind. Could it be that someone was using the belief in the ancient Queen Mother of the West to condense the evil spirit?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

I just don’t know what means the other party used?
Of course, I can’t think too much about it right now.

After all the strange Qi was cleared, the divine palaces of the eight generals in the inner altar began to condense, and then, phantoms appeared inside.

The first one has a yellow turban, a ghost face, a black robe, silver armor, a gold belt, red hair, hemp shoes, and a sword. He also holds a golden eagle in his hand, and he looks very fierce.

This is Wei Yuanshuai, the Flying Eagle Officer of Fengdu. He is in charge of the imperial palace, touring the underworld and recording the life and death...

Soon, the second one also appeared.

He has a human-like appearance like an evil ghost, with a beard, a yellow scarf, a black robe, iron armor, white trousers, yellow leather shoes, and carries a short-handled golden hammer.

This is Fengdu Giant Sky Warrior, the Executioner Meng Yuanshuai. He is the most powerful among the eight generals and is responsible for executions...

Compared to the Eight Generals of the Outer Altar, the Eight Generals of the Inner Altar are more powerful and have their own unique abilities.

Release the hawks, release the dogs, super speed, super strength, suppress evil…

This is also the second level of change of Li Yan's Fengdu method.

If these Yin generals are summoned individually, they can attach themselves to the Chu Ling paper figurines and exert their unique abilities.

As the eight generals of the inner and outer altars were fully formed, Luofeng Mountain became more rich, with four sacred palaces in the center, a Gansi Lianwan Palace, and sixteen Yin general sacred palaces guarding it.

Indistinctly, the prototype of the underworld has already taken shape...

…………

On the other side, Sharifei and the other person also arrived at the Yin and Yang world.

The Yin and Yang world at night is even more eerie. It is pitch black as far as the eye can see, with only the howling wind and flying snow blowing towards you.

Sharifi stood on tiptoe and looked for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "When exactly?"

The Bai family woman replied: "Zi Shi."

"Zi Shi?"

Sharifei took out his pocket watch and checked it with the help of a fire stick. His expression suddenly turned ugly. "It's past midnight. I'm afraid something has happened."

The Bai family woman was also a little flustered, "I don't know, should I wait a little longer? Maybe Senior Sister Long hasn't woken up yet..."

"No time to wait."

Sharifei knew that saving people was like putting out a fire, so he said in a deep voice, "Go back and get some help. Brother Lu San's pet might be able to get in."

"I'll go over there first and see where I can get down."

"it is good."

The woman from the Bai family seemed to have gained some confidence and turned around and ran away.

Sharifei took out a torch from the bag behind him, lit it, and walked towards the cliff step by step in the knee-deep snow.

He was originally a master of dark energy and had agile movements, but now he became a sorcerer with amazing supernatural powers and five senses, and he could easily avoid those dangerous areas.

Soon, they arrived at the cliff.

He held up the torch and looked down, but saw a howling black wind and flying snow that was blown back up from the sky, and could hear no sound at all.

"You are such a coward, you make me worry..."

Sharifei muttered to himself, and looked around again, until he finally saw a thick hemp rope tied to a rock, hanging down the cliff.

He gritted his teeth and climbed down the rope.

The cliff was covered in icy ice and was very slippery. Even with his skills, he had to be cautious and his back tensed.

The mountain wind howled, as if it would blow him down at any time.

Sharifei held the cold hemp rope and moved down little by little.

Finally, we arrived at the protruding old pine tree.

After taking a closer look, Sharifei was speechless.

I saw a tree hole on the old pine tree, which was blocked by ice, and many bright fluorescent lights were flashing inside.

It turned out that the tree hole was frozen.

Clang!
Without saying a word, Sharifei drew out the Guanshan knife from his waist, swung the knife in a flower pattern, and exerted force with his wrist.

With a crack, the frozen ice shattered.

hum!
A swarm of insects flew out.

Sharifei suddenly felt a flashing light in front of his eyes, dazzling him, and it fell all over his face.

These are all glowworms. Although they look beautiful from a distance, each one is more ferocious than the other, like lice with wings.

It pounced on his face and started biting him.

"The one with the surname Long is me!"

Sharifei flapped his hands and shouted.

Fortunately, he had a steady hand and his legs were tightly gripping the old pine tree, so he did not fall.

Oddly enough, as soon as he shouted, the insect stopped attacking and instead flew up and down, cruising in the night sky.

Sometimes it turns into Tai Chi, sometimes it turns into Bagua...

The sky is full of fireflies flying and changing, creating a magnificent sight.

If Li Yan were here, he would feel somewhat familiar, similar to the drone show in his previous life, but much simpler.

Sharifei had never seen such a scene before and was immediately fascinated.

My eyes became blurry and my legs became weak.

This insect poison can actually use light to perform magic.

Inside the cave, the snow that never melted all year round condensed into blue-green ice crystals, and the cold air was as cold as a knife. In the center, a person was sitting cross-legged in white clothes as white as snow. It was Long Yaner.

She was already awake. After months of fasting, she was skinny and pale, but her eyes were getting brighter.

"Fool."

Hearing Sharifei's call, she frowned slightly.

After going through the life and death crisis, she has re-condensed her natal Gu, but she has just recovered her magic power, and her body is weak, so she cannot control it yet, so she mistakenly confuses Shalifi.

The poisonous insect outside is called "frost moth". It looks beautiful, but both the light and the scales on its wings have hallucinogenic effects.

Feeling that Sharifei was poisoned, Long Yaner shook her head slightly and stretched out her hand. A strange insect suddenly emerged, which was very similar to the alien insect "Qin Snake" from before.

Buzz!

The vibration sound of this natal Gu is like playing a piano, and it can also cast spells. Anyone who hears the sound will fall into an illusion.

Long Yaner is already proficient in the secret arts of Gu Cult.

This time, he re-condensed his life Gu. Although his Taoism dropped and he only had the second floor left, with the power of the Qin worm, his Gu technique reached a new level...
