Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 467: Only after experiencing the world can you know the taste of life and death, and the fate of life and death ends in a thought (Please reward and subscribe!)

The old demon Tianqi is highly trusted by the ancestor Hunxie, otherwise he would not have been able to carry so many treasures and travel around on behalf of the ancestor Hunxie to make friends.

But his seat and magic power must be ranked last under the seat of Master Hunxie, otherwise all the tasks of scouting in advance, collecting intelligence, and running around would not fall on his head.

After getting the promise from Taoist Lu Cheng at the Wanleihai Palace, the old demon Tianqi stayed for a few days and then said goodbye and left, continuing to run around looking for a master who could be used in the Yunxiao Golden Summit Sword Fight for the Founder of Hunxie.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

The concept of time of those who practice Taoism is different from that of ordinary people. As one of the most powerful evil masters in the world, Master Hunxie is not afraid of someone taking advantage of his benefits.

On this day, Lu Cheng was sitting high on the throne in the Taoist Palace, discussing scriptures and preaching to his disciples:

Thousands of stars fell from the dome of the Qingyu Taoist Palace, and the mysterious music of heaven and earth was playing in the void.

Lu Cheng sat high on the nine-tiered jade platform, dressed in a pure white Taoist robe that was spotless. There was a golden and red glow in his eyes, as if there was an illusion of life and death.

"Today I will talk about the wonderful combination of the seven emotions of the human body and the way of the sword."

The voice was like a spring hitting a rock, but it turned into thunder in the ears of every disciple present. The cultivators present immediately straightened their backs and listened attentively:

In addition to Lu Cheng's true disciples, the second disciple Miao Chuyun, the third disciple Youming, the fourth disciple Shi Sheng and Shi Sheng's first wife Yun Huang'er were present.

Xiao Yuhong, Xiao Yuxue, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger were also listening to the lecture.

They lived a little further away from Lu Cheng because they could hear Lu Cheng preaching on weekdays. On the day of the sermon, they would not compete with the younger generation for the opportunity, so as to avoid complaints in their hearts without saying it out loud.

In addition, there are Chiyang, Tunyue, nine small glass dragons, and many registered and inner disciples below the true teachings of the Tiandi Dao Palace.

The scope of a Yuanshen cultivator's preaching is extremely wide. It is okay for true disciples, but the registered disciples and inner disciples with low magic power levels may not hear the master preach a few times in their lifetime. It can be said that Lu Cheng's preaching affects their practice for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, everyone strives to sit forward. One more step forward will make the understanding of Taoism more subtle.

Lu Cheng taught the way of the sword, and this group of registered and inner disciples were often well versed in the way of the sword. The same was true when Lu Cheng taught the way of qi, the way of talismans, and the way of refining the spirit.

If you can comprehend the three essences of it, and with due diligence and opportunity, increase your Taoism and magical powers, you will be able to listen to the master's teachings more often.

If one lacks understanding, opportunity and effort, once his life is over, all his hard work will be turned into dust.

Inside the Taoist palace, nine little glass dragons were rolling and playing on the cloud carpet, but they froze when they heard the sound.

The cinnabar-colored one fell "pa pa" on the amber dragon brother, and two colorful balls rolled to the edge of Xiao Yuxue's skirt.

The nun suppressed her smile and lightly tapped the dragon's horn. The little guys immediately lined up in a neat row, except that the tip of the pine green one's tail was still swinging restlessly.

"The seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and surprise." Lu Cheng put his fingers together and seven sword auras of different colors appeared in the air.

"Ordinary cultivators use emotions to confuse others, but I use emotions to refine myself. Many mediocre people in the world always say that the Supreme Being forgets emotions, so they follow the rules and abide by the precepts, thus forgetting their true nature and giving up precious treasures. Forgetting emotions is not being heartless, but being indifferent and calm after experiencing all the emotions in the world. The seven emotions can confuse the heart, and the seven emotions can also enter the sword."

Before he finished speaking, the seven swords suddenly merged and transformed into a blue lotus that bloomed in the center of the hall.

All the cultivators present could clearly feel the terrifying sword pressure brought by the green lotus that was slowly blooming in the void.

Once it erupts, it will be easy to destroy mountains, break rivers and split the seas.

However, the more sensitive the cultivators were, the more they could feel that although the master had only used a tiny amount of magic power, he could achieve such an almost incredible effect.

In order to let his disciples feel the sword intent and sword energy more clearly, Lu Cheng even made the Green Lotus Sword intent and sword energy slightly diffuse, causing ripples to surge like throwing a stone into a lake.

Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shisheng, and Yun Huang'er all used their own protective magic power to contact the sword energy. Their magic power quickly dissipated, but when the sword energy was really approaching them, it turned into a spring breeze that brushed their faces and did not hurt anyone at all.

Taoist Shisheng suddenly took a few steps back, leaving two deep footprints on the floor tiles. He looked up and saw his master's eyes sweeping over him, and that gaze seemed to be able to see through his soul.

The handsome young man broke out in a sweat. The opening and closing of the lotus had actually broken all of his protective magic power.

Yun Huang'er beside her hurriedly grabbed her husband's wrist and passed on a wisp of her own magic power.

"Shi Sheng, you have been distracted too much these years, so your progress in Taoism has been slow. If this continues, I am worried that one day you will have to bury your children."

"My disciple is lazy and slack, please punish me, Master."

Taoist Shisheng immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily, looking ashamed.

Compared with Miao Chuyun and Netherworld Taoist, his self-control is indeed a little weaker. He has been practicing Taoism comfortably in the Taoist Palace over the years, and his progress is slower than before.

This is also the advantage of having a good master. If you make the slightest mistake, you will be warned immediately.

Although cultivation depends mainly on oneself, and no one can take care of you for your entire life, the bottom line of cultivation is completely different if you have a wise master or not.

"My sermon today may have led some people astray, but it was also my own doing. Their fate may be a disaster."

After the fourth disciple Shi Sheng woke up, Lu Cheng ignored him and looked at the other disciples present in the Taoist Palace.

A Buddhist master once said: "If you do not enter the secular world, do not experience the sea of ​​suffering, and do not violate the precepts, how can you know the true meaning of the precepts, how can you see through the illusion of worldly affairs, see your own Buddha nature, and realize the true emptiness and wonderful existence?"

It is the same path as Lu Cheng's use of the seven emotions to enter the Tao today.

But this is a shortcut, a side road, and a dangerous road.

Lu Cheng knew that no matter how detailed and meticulous his explanation was today.

After these registered and inner disciples leave, each of them will comprehend things on their own, and many of them are bound to go astray. However, given the talent and talents of the vast majority of them, even if they do go astray, at most they will delay themselves and a few people related to them, and will not cause a major disaster.

The most terrifying thing is that those monks with talent and gifts go astray and take risks, going further and further, unable to turn back, and unwilling to turn back.

At that time, perhaps a great catastrophe would really occur.

After talking about the Seven Emotions Entering the Sword, Lu Cheng counted on his fingers and found that there was still some time, so he told his disciples a story called "The Story of Twins":
"In the third year of Dajing, the plague god passed through the city. The imperial court issued an iron law and sent black-armored soldiers to guard the official roads in all directions. Anyone infected with the plague was not allowed to leave the city, and those who violated the law would be executed immediately.

In the south of the city, there lived a father and son of the Chen family. The son was infected with an epidemic fever and his face turned pale. Chen, the old man, knelt at the city gate for three days with his son on his back, his forehead was broken and bleeding. The commander in black armor finally said, "Laws are as strong as mountains."

When the young man died, he was still holding his father's hand.

The son of the Zhang family in the north of the city also fell ill. His father sharpened the ancestral sword at night and broke through the checkpoint alone at dawn. The sound of armor and silk tearing as the sword flashed by startled countless crows. Finally, he took his son and fled to Mount Zhongnan, where he met a wandering herbalist who used seven-leaf Paris polyphylla as medicine and he was cured.

Later generations found a note in the fragments of the county annals: Those who abide by the law will have no descendants, while those who break the law will have their descendants. The small cinnabar characters soaked through the back of the paper, like tears and blood.

After Lu Cheng finished telling this story, many disciples present looked at each other, not knowing from which angle to answer this question.

There was silence in the Taoist palace, except for the sound of wind chimes on the eaves ringing in the wind.

The Taoist of the Underworld was the first to break the silence. He bowed politely and said, "Master, when you talk about the "Twin Lives Record", do you want us disciples to understand that we should not be bound by established rules when cultivating?"

"The heart of Tao is like a mirror, reflecting the myriad phenomena that are all false; the precepts are like a boat, after crossing the sea of ​​suffering, it is time to abandon the raft and reach the shore."

"There is no fixed law, only the mind can ask. Discipline is like medicine, it is meant to cure diseases." Lu Cheng lightly nodded at the nose of the little dragon that crawled in front of him, and the little guy immediately curled up into a ball and rolled back.

"If you take medicine as food, it will hurt your foundation. But if you deny all the pharmacology because of this—" He glanced at several excited disciples, "you will be walking from one dead end to another."

"In order to survive, ordinary people give up some of their power to form families and countries, but if they have the heart to practice cultivation, they will know when to break up the country and the family."

At this moment, Lu Cheng did not wait for these disciples to continue thinking, but looked up and looked into the distance. With his original flaming golden eyes, he could see the old demon Tianqi who had left several years ago, and now he had returned with several cultivators who were surrounded by evil and demonic energy.

Lu Cheng didn't want them to come to Qingyu Dao Palace again, so he directly gave the order:
"Chu Yun, You Ming, Shi Sheng, Huang Er, each of you will select four disciples to go out with me to gain experience and learn about the world."

"Disciple, obey."

Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shisheng and Yun Huang'er responded immediately upon hearing the order, and then immediately chose the younger generations they trusted from among the Taoist Palace disciples present.

"Husband, has the Abandoned Taoist come back that day?" Xiao Yuhong stepped forward and asked.

"That's right. I don't want my disciples to have too deep contact with them, so just take him away."

"You should bring Yuzhen and Ling'er with you. Having them by your side can help to suppress your murderous nature."

Xiao Yuhong knew her husband very well. Although he had the self-restraint and self-discipline of a serious monk, on the other hand, he was so gifted and talented that he supported his success. Therefore, sometimes, he would kill for others and would have no scruples when his murderous nature came to him.

With Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger by his side, at least her husband can commit fewer sins of killing. It is not good for a cultivator to commit too much sin of killing.

"Besides, my sister and I plan to practice Taoism in the mountains for the next hundred years, and we won't need it, so you can take it with you, it will always be a good mount for travel."

As she spoke, Xiao Yuxue, who also stepped forward, waved her sleeves, and in a cloud of mist, a treasure carriage pulled by a green ox flew out from Xiao Yuxue's magic bag.

This green bull was the Kuiniu Demon King back then. He originally had the magical power of the third level of the Nascent Soul. Over the past hundreds of years, he had listened to scriptures and studied Taoism and had already cultivated to the middle level of the Nascent Soul.

With great magical powers, strong physique and great endurance, it is an excellent mount.

As for the precious car it was pulling, it was a treasure that Lu Cheng had bought for the Xiao sisters at the Earthly Immortal Realm during the Thousand-Year-Old Banquet. It looked ordinary in appearance, but it was actually a seventh-order top-level flying car with powerful defense and flying spells. Even a Return to Void cultivator could not easily break this flying car, which was strong in comprehensive performance.

Lu Cheng knew what the Xiao sisters were thinking, so he didn't refuse.

With the Kuiniu Demon King and the treasure chariot as the center, a cloud spread out, and the cultivators led by Lu Cheng flew above it, and then rose out of the Qingyu Taoist Palace and flew away into the air.

...

The old demon Tianqi brought a few demon cultivators with him on a cloud, and they ran into Lu Cheng and others before they reached the Qingyu Taoist Palace.

He also knew in his heart that Lu Cheng did not want his disciples to have much contact with him and others, but on the other hand, these demon cultivators were not willing to really go deep into the Ten Thousand Thunder Sea.

So he was very happy, and the old demon Tianqi stepped forward and said:
"Lord Lu is indeed a trustworthy person."

"Let's go. There are so many famous sword masters in Tongtian World. I am also quite curious about their methods. Please don't let me down."

"Compared to Senior Brother Hunxie and Lord Lu, those people are nothing but chickens and dogs, seeking fame and reputation."

After hearing what the old demon Tianqi said, many of the evil cultivators around him suddenly became a little afraid.

It was because the old demon Tianqi actually placed the person in front of him in a position second only to the Grandmaster Hunxie. You know, although the old demon Tianqi did not have deep magical powers among the Yuanshen cultivators, he was the junior brother of the Grandmaster Hunxie and a very close person to him.

After the two groups talked for a few words, they joined together and went to the nearest teleportation array together.

If one were to fly from the Fiery Realm to the Heavenly Realm, it would probably take at least a hundred years. However, as a Yuanshen cultivator, he knew about the large-scale teleportation arrays that connected the seven realms, and using them could greatly reduce the travel time.

After flying for a while, the evil cultivators following the old demon Tianqi realized that the ox cart guarded by Miao Chuyun, Youming, Shisheng, and Yun Huang'er was actually a rare flying magic weapon.

It looks ordinary, but a circle of cloud force field spreads out with it as the center. Being in it, even if the sixteen Taoist Palace disciples who followed it only have golden elixir magic power, they can still fly at an incredible speed and easily keep up with the escape light of the Nascent Soul cultivators without any effort.

"Who is the old demon in the ox cart? I see that his disciples are pure and upright, they don't seem like people from my sect."

"I am willing to accept Senior Brother's invitation and help us fight with swords. Who cares whether it is good or evil? In all the previous mountain-taking and sword-fighting battles, there were also cases where the orthodox immortals helped our demonic sect, and the demonic sect monks risked their lives for the orthodox sect."

The old demon Tianqi was talking with another old demon Sikong Xun. Sikong Xun was not a weakling either. He possessed a pair of magical weapons, the Lieque Double Hooks, which were extremely powerful and could cut off people's flying swords.

In order to ask him to come out and help, although the old demon Tianqi did not pay another Wanjie Yunshen Pill, it still cost him a considerable price and bled a lot.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the group of evil cultivators behind him.

Three charming female cultivators in gauze broke away from the team and turned into pink mist and rushed to the feet of the old demon Tianqi.

The purple-dressed woman with half her breasts exposed at the head tugged at the corner of the old demon's robe and said coquettishly, "Grandfather, please be kind~ My ankles are swollen from flying thousands of miles, please be kind enough to let us get on the car and rest~"

The voice was as sweet as honey, but the ending sound was trembling like a hook. The two women in green skirts at the back untied the belts around their waists, letting the light gauze blow up their snow-white legs, their eyes wandering towards the ox cart - they saw clearly just now that the sixteen Jindan Dao Palace disciples were standing in the clouds, and not even their hair was messed up by the strong wind.

Upon hearing this, the old demon Tianqi's face froze. Although he didn't find any other good fighters on this trip except Lord Lu and Sikong Xun, and although there were many people at this time, most of them were used to increase momentum. But those sluts and bitches with Nascent Soul and Core Forming power were actually not easy to find. Without them, the evil spirits gathered in the mountain gate and it would always be easy for something to happen.

If my senior brother comes out to criticize me at that time, it will be embarrassing for me.

After hesitating for a while, the old demon Tianqi finally decided to go to Lord Lu to save his face.

Many people always feel that the more they use favors, the less they have, but in fact, Tianqi Laomo thinks that sometimes favors increase as you give and take.

"I have met Lord Tianqi."

When Miao Chuyun saw the old demon Tianqi flying towards him, he immediately stepped forward to meet him.

Not long after, he brought the request of the old demon Tianqi to the inner city of Niu Che.

This flying car may look ordinary on the outside, but it is actually a whole different world inside, with palaces, halls, alchemy tools and fire rooms.

Originally, Lu Cheng was watching Xue Yuzhen playing the piano and Yun Linger dancing. After hearing this message, he hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand to send out a talisman.

If it was any other speeding car it would be fine, but this one is a birthday gift for the two wives, and it wouldn't be good to let these slutty girls and slaves get in the car and pollute the spiritual energy.

Therefore, what Lu Cheng bestowed was a sixth-level Suiyun Talisman, which was not precious but very rare. At least in the human world, there were very few sects that used precious sixth-level spiritual objects to refine this kind of talisman.

A moment later, a small cloud appeared behind the cloud in front and flew away at an astonishing speed.

"It seems that Lord Lu of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sea is truly extremely powerful. Not to mention the talisman he casually bestowed, just looking at the attitude of old ghost Tianqi, you can tell that Lord Lu is not easy to mess with. You should put in some effort. Once you reach Wujue Mountain, if you can hook up with one, you will have endless benefits in the future."

The old demon Tianqi and Sikong Xun were still invited to get on the flying car, but the other demon disciples and evil cultivators could only hang behind.

After all the Yuanshen cultivators left, the purple-clothed female cultivator stopped looking seductive and even showed a bit of coldness and aloofness.

The other demon disciples and evil cultivators could only watch greedily from all around, but no one dared to actually come forward and flirt.

This is because the ecstasy goddess in this ecstasy cave can really make one's soul melt into pieces and one's soul shattered in a dream. As the saying goes: "Taking evil supplements to cultivate the Tao, devouring the essence and refining the spirit, the pleasure will end in a moment and one will fall into the deep netherworld forever."

If they were under the noses of the ancestors of Wujue Mountain, they would not dare to do so, but in other places, these female cultivators were ruthless compared to most cultivators.

Even with a seventh-order flying car and a teleportation array, it would still take several years to travel from the Fiery Realm to the Heavenly Realm.

The flying car was surrounded almost entirely by high-level cultivators, so naturally no one would waste time. They all practiced and performed their own methods.

On this day, Lu Cheng was getting used to the powerful magic power in his body again, when suddenly, he had a feeling in his heart:

"I beg you to help me, my Lord..."

Inside the Jiuli Cauldron is the realm of death for tree demons.

This world was originally a realm of extinction, and the black-clothed tree demon had fallen into it, and it was impossible to recover. However, the Great Dao has fifty days of evolution and forty-nine days, so even in a dead end there is still a glimmer of hope.

As the white-clothed tree demon gradually turned from a demon to a Taoist, he changed the world and brought some life to this dead world.

Like the yin of Tai Chi embracing the yang, deep in the dead world, a green mountain and valley suddenly appeared, with rippling clear water and towering stone peaks. In this endless flame and magma, a little vitality is even more precious.

As Lu Cheng's magical power grew stronger, he had fewer and fewer rivals in the human world.

He gradually relaxed his strict guard over the secret of the Jiuli Ding, but disciples such as Youming, Shisheng, Yun Huang'er, etc. only thought that their master had a Tianfu Talisman with multiple secret realms in his hand, which could capture and trap the enemy, and also collect the magic weapon and flying sword.

In the green mountains and green valleys, there is a cottage.

Netherworld, Shi Sheng, Yun Huang'er and the other two bowed to an old woman in white and said:
"Meet mother."

"Get up, good boy, get up quickly."

The white-clothed tree demon ignored the brothers Youming and Shisheng and helped Yun Huang'er up. He looked his daughter-in-law up and down, becoming more and more satisfied.

Even if she is a great demon who has practiced for thousands of years, she is no different from an ordinary mortal mother at this moment.

"I knew you were more promising than your brother, and you were able to marry such a good fairy."

The words of the white-clothed tree demon made the Netherworld Taoist swallow so hard that he rolled his eyes.

He practiced the "Heavenly Demon Sword Manual" and gradually transformed from a sword demon into a human body. Now he can enjoy the wonders of yin and yang, but his temperament is different from his brother's. He is more likely to be happy when fate comes and forget when fate goes.

Lu Cheng only taught him not to disappoint the kindness of a good woman and did not impose too much control on him in other matters.

While the white-clothed tree demon was expressing her tender feelings to her son and daughter-in-law, Lu Cheng was also looking around the cottage.

It's not that the hut is simple. The hut of the white-clothed tree demon is spacious, the ground is paved with bluestone, and the pillars are supported by fine wood, polished to be as smooth as jade.

The roof is made of densely woven reed mats, and the surrounding fences are made of rattan strips, reaching chest height, which is both elegant and practical.

The pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner, and the one facing the main gate is the most spacious, which is the main hall for meetings and receiving guests.

The futons in the hall are made of fragrant herbs, and are placed at the host and guest positions. They are soft and comfortable. In front of each futon is a low table, on which a teapot is placed, teacups are placed, and the aroma of tea is lingering, refreshing.

And the white-clothed tree demon was no longer alone at this time. There were several deer demons, rabbit demons, and tree demons sweeping and tidying up the hut. There were even two doormen who had cultivated from stone. They were just a little stupid, running around serving tea and water and even bumping into each other.

There are two seats above the main seat here. In addition to the position of the white-clothed tree demon, there is also a deer demon with strong magical powers. He has a fair and dignified appearance, but his eyes are filled with fear when he looks at Lu Cheng.

"After a thousand years of operation, you have finally managed this place like a fairyland. This is cause for celebration."

"No, no, you are kidding me, Lord God. Ah, let me introduce you to my fellow Taoist, Lord White Deer. We often discuss Taoism, so we have become companions."

The white-clothed tree demon pointed at the White Deer True Lord, and the demon king immediately came forward and saluted respectfully.

There is no Taoist inheritance in the Jiuli Ding, and the monsters practice according to their own habits. This white deer is also lucky enough to accidentally meet the white-clothed tree monster. He discussed Taoism with it and benefited greatly from it, so he can transform his magic power into a human form.

Otherwise, the creatures in the Jiuli Ding would normally grow up as they are, and there would never be a day when they would be reborn like this.
