Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 225 I have to do it myself
Zhao Yifu really didn't expect that his stupid brother could have such killing power, and the serious look of thinking so was actually very hurtful.

Monk Puji chanted a Buddhist name and tried to explain, "This is for the benefit of all people in the world."

"Now that the changes have taken place, if the earth falls into endless fighting again, it will only fill the land with wandering dead and plunge everyone into darkness."

Zhao Yian answered very frankly: "I don't know what the master means by the change of heaven. Anyway, this person is not a good person. What he agrees with is definitely not a good thing."

Wow, this logic is so powerful that it feels impossible to refute it.

The point is, everyone already knows that Zhao Yian is a complete newbie, and they feel it is too much trouble to explain everything to him from the beginning, so they just don't bother to explain it.

however……

This made Gui Hezi very uncomfortable, because if no one said anything, wouldn't that mean he was a bad person?
Well, maybe that was the truth, but in the world of cultivation where people valued their reputation, he absolutely could not admit it.

So Gui Hezi, who shouldn't have said anything, had to save his dignity, and the way to save his dignity was...

"Boy, you've gone too far in bullying me with your disrespect for your elders. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of that tactless Qiu Yuzi!"

As he said this, Gui Hezi shouted angrily, and then attacked Zhao Yian fiercely.

Zhao Yian was not surprised. He slowly took out the sword he had just taken and drew it to meet the enemy.

Gui Hezi's weapon is a whisk. The whisk is the softest weapon and can theoretically overcome hardness with softness.

This whisk even has many magical uses. There are poisonous needles hidden in its silk threads, which can turn people into pus immediately if they get contaminated.

However, Gui Hezi also knew that he was not good at bullying the weak, so he did not use the poison needle and tried to capture Zhao Yian with ordinary force.

However, no matter how careless Zhao Yian was in his cultivation, he could not withstand the profound accumulation of his knowledge.

His body is much stronger than that of an ordinary person because of the Dragon King's spirit, and he can control his strength at will.

Therefore, the response was flawless, making it impossible for Gui Hezi to take any action.

As a last resort, he had to use his best skills.

Suddenly, his body paused, and then a light burst out from his whisk. Then he waved the whisk like a crane flapping its wings, shedding a brilliant light.

The light was so powerful, like a blade or a heavy hammer, that Zhao Yian had no choice but to hold his sword horizontally to block it.

"The divine crane is really powerful. It looks like Gui Hezi is serious about this."

Someone nearby muttered.

Zhao Yian felt a bit awkward, as he was really not good at fighting.

In terms of cultivation accumulation, if he just worked harder, he could definitely surpass all the cultivators of this era in no time, but he didn't work hard. Moreover, cultivation doesn't equal combat power. With his temperament, no matter how strong his cultivation is, he can still be stabbed in the back.

Liu Ying, who had stabbed him to death last time, was now very anxious. She didn't care about attracting attention and quickly shouted, "Fool, put on that mask quickly!"

Zhao Yian then woke up from a dream and hurriedly took out the ghost mask from his arms, then put it on his face.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Gui Hezi was actually afraid of unexpected changes, so he quickly used his Divine Crane Power again.

Liu Ying suddenly wondered if the mask was unreliable, and she shouted, "Hide!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, changes began to happen in Zhao Yian.

A set of meticulously crafted heavy armor with a dark base and golden patterns appeared on his body...

"Dang!!"

Gui Hezi's divine crane power hit the armor, causing a sound of metal clashing, and then he steadily resisted the divine crane power.

Gui Hezi was extremely shocked. With his limited knowledge, he couldn't even identify what this thing was.

Taoist Hongmei said in surprise, "This is a treasure from the underworld. How do you have such a treasure?!"

He felt incredible because this was not a treasure that could be possessed by mortals.

Indeed, the predecessor of this ghost mask, the Netherworld Messenger Order, was obtained by Zhao Yifu from the underworld.

The underworld was able to give him this thing because of the face of the ancestor.

Now, under his cultivation, this thing has become an extremely powerful and magical treasure, which has opened the eyes of these people.

Zhao Yian exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the armor of the Ghostly Young Master? I feel full of power."

Zhao Yifu, who was attached to the armor, felt a little ashamed of being distracted.

But how can I help Zhao Yian?

Zhao Yifu also had ideas.

"Hmph, let me see what this armor can do for you."

Gui Hezi did not attack with the divine crane power again, but instead chanted a mantra and suddenly spit out a breath of real fire.

Obviously, even if he didn't understand the principle of this armor, Gui Hezi could still see what power drove this armor.

The extremely yin power from the underworld!
Then using real fire to calcine it may be the best way to deal with it at this time.

Zhao Yian was a little uneasy, because with his knowledge, he naturally knew that Gui Hezi in front of him was a true master who was only one step away from becoming a Yang God. Even when he was still the Dragon King, he had to be careful in dealing with such a master, let alone now?

however……

Without his knowledge, his good second brother had already prepared for him.

A circle of vast and cold spiritual energy suddenly exploded from the dark gold-patterned armor, and then the coldness turned into a blooming ice lotus. As the ice lotus bloomed, it also counteracted the attacking true fire, and finally both sides disappeared into thin air.

Gui Hezi was stunned, then exclaimed, "This is impossible. My True Fire has reached the point of extreme yang and scorching heat. It can easily melt even ten thousand year old cold iron. How can it not break these cold things?"

Taoist Hongmei looked at it with deep meaning and said, "Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. There is no such thing as Yang alone restraining Yin. Now that the True Fire cannot extinguish the Yin cold, there is only one explanation..."

Everyone instantly understood what he hadn't said: True Fire cannot overcome Yin-Cold, which means that the Yin-Cold is of higher quality and purity than the purest Yin of Gui Hezi's True Fire!

No one refuted what Taoist Hongmei said, because Taoist Hongmei's "Chonghe Yiqi Sect" practiced yin and yang.

The so-called "harmony between yin and yang, unity of qi" is the purpose of the "Chonghe Yiqi Sect".

The stringless musician nodded and said, "Could it be that ghosts and gods really exist in this world?"

Monk Puji said, "Of course there are ghosts and gods, but they should all be in the underworld... But think about it, now that the disaster has happened, perhaps the ghosts and gods are tired of being lonely and want to influence the world of the living."

Taoist Hongmei said, "Let's wait and see. If the situation doesn't go well, we will have to take action."

However, he did not say who he would attack.

Gui Hezi was actually caught off guard when he saw that the true fire was ineffective. For a casual cultivator like him, it was already amazing to have one or two famous skills, and he really didn't have that many tricks.

The only way to deal with it at this moment was to attach real fire to his whisk, and then use the same trick again to unleash the true power of the divine crane.

In this way, the spiritual light he emitted when he waved his whisk was like a fire cloud, which looked quite impressive.

However, ice lotus flowers bloomed again around the black armor with golden patterns. It was still ice lotus flowers blooming, and each scattered petal could offset the true energy of the divine crane with fire.

In other words, Gui Hezi had already used all his skills, but he still couldn't break the armor's defense.

"How can this be!"

Gui Hezi shouted in helplessness and fury.

"How could the Danqing Sect, a sect so mundane that it couldn't be more mundane, possibly produce such a treasure?"

This sentence actually revealed the arrogance in his heart, which was his undisguised contempt for the Danqing Sect.

I'm afraid that many people present here think so, and they think that for a sect like Danqingmen, which is so worldly-oriented, the most they have are probably some small things. How can they have any mysterious methods or magical weapons?
Of course, this is how the Danqing disciples of all generations have behaved... It can't be helped, because they all prefer to spend their time enjoying the beauty of nature, the beauty of nature, and the beauty of the world. At most, they practice the Shouren method to improve their mental outlook, that's all...

Zhao Yian felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart when he heard this, but his Dragon King soul could still tell that this anger came from outside... in other words, it came from the ghost mask on his face.

Well, Zhao Yifu was angry. What kind of person was this? How dare he look down on his master?

So he transferred the desire to fight into Zhao Yian's consciousness.

After all, he had fought against the Demon Lord more than a hundred times, so he could still imitate this little trick.

Zhao Yian was terrified because he could feel a strong desire to fight beginning to dominate his consciousness and even his body.

He originally thought that his soul was powerful enough and should be unique in the world... This time he was really scared.

In the past, when someone died, they were dead, because their spirit was still there, and they could just reincarnate after death.

But things are different now. If there is a problem with his soul, it will be a hidden danger that cannot be eliminated no matter how many times he reincarnates.

However, at this moment, he could only watch in vain as his superficial consciousness was controlled by the fighting spirit in his bones. His body also went out of control and attacked Gui Hezi in an extremely violent manner.

Zhao Yian was wearing a dark black heavy armor with gold patterns. Every step he took was accompanied by a thunderous roar, and he rushed forward like a heavily armored tank.

Gui Hezi was at a loss for a moment when facing this charge, and then immediately weaved a defensive net in front of him with the silk thread of the whisk.

As a poor casual cultivator, the only treasure he could possess was this whisk, so it served as both a weapon and a piece of armor.

It's just that the whisk was supposed to be a tool for overcoming hardness with softness, but Zhao Yian, wearing heavy armor, was able to perform the equally feminine Crane Claw Technique, which made it impossible for Gui Hezi to overcome hardness with softness.

Especially Zhao Yian himself was confused. He was quite familiar with the Crane Claw Technique. After all, he was forced to practice it since he was a child.

But his Crane Claw Skill is so good?
How amazing! Could this 'Ghost Prince's Armor' even improve his understanding of martial arts?
Zhao Yian was so surprised that he didn't pay attention for a moment, only to find that he had torn through Gui Hezi's defense and a hand was about to grab Gui Hezi's neck.

"enough!"

Taoist Hongmei suddenly spoke.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful spiritual force swept across here, rubbing against the ghost armor to produce a series of dazzling spirit sparks.

Zhao Yian wanted to stop obediently, but it would be better if he could control his body.

However, when Taoist Hongmei's mind swept across the ghost armor, he was surprised.

He suddenly made a move, one hand seemed to be pinching a ball of ink, and the other hand seemed to be holding the stars.

Then the two pushed forward at the same time, forming a Yin-Yang fish in the shape of a Tai Chi diagram in front of Zhao Yian, completely blocking his body.

At this time, Hongmei Taoist asked, "Who on earth are you?"

Zhao Yian was quite confused.

However, before he could say anything, Liu Ying outside the arena suddenly realized, "It's the Ghostly Young Master! It's the Ghostly Young Master who's controlling Zhao Yian!" Taoist Hongmei exclaimed in astonishment, "No, this isn't a ghost. I clearly feel a burning heat similar to that of a Yang God... Who are you?"

Zhao Yifu's spirit, hiding in the ghost armor, saw that it had been discovered and stopped hiding. After all, he was a powerful being at the level of Yangshen, so he still had some vision.

I saw the ghost armor suddenly take a step forward.

This step was taken, but behind it was the bewildered Zhao Yian.

After a moment of confusion, Zhao Yian showed a look of joy, because he found that he was completely out of control... Obviously, the "Ghost Prince" did not want to do anything to his soul.

And in the next moment, the ghost armor, which was originally very dull, suddenly changed its momentum.

The extremely yin aura that was visible to anyone with a discerning eye disappeared...or rather, it was covered up.

A righteous and yang aura quickly filled the armor.

Taoist Hongmei, the stringless zither player, and Monk Puji all stood up at the same time, looking cautious.

They could feel that a being equal to them had appeared.

"Do you dare to show your true face to others?"

Gui Hezi came to his senses and saw that he still dared to challenge him.

Perhaps he realized that he had already broken off relations with Zhao Yian, and he had the confidence because he had the support of the three Yangshen bosses.

Of course, while he was talking nonsense at this time, he was also thinking about his way out. After all, being targeted by a powerful Yangshen was not a good thing.

Zhao Yifu glanced at him, and his divine consciousness swept over like a tsunami.

This was something he had just learned, using his spiritual thoughts to directly oppress and attack the opponent.

Of course, it was a little difficult to learn and apply on the spot, and Gui Hezi was swept away as if he was hit by a truck.

At this moment, Zhao Yifu discovered that his primordial spirit and pure divine consciousness had increased their influence on the world.

Seeing this, all the monks in the assembly showed anger. Taoist Hongmei was about to say something when he saw Zhao Yifu reaching out and touching his mask...

Taoist Hongmei fell silent again. At this time, everyone's attention was on Zhao Yifu, wanting to see his true appearance.

Zhao Yifu did not delay and took off his mask casually, and then the ghost armor disappeared like foam.

Zhao Yifu showed his image of a handsome scholar...but he was a little bit burly.

It didn't matter to others, after all, Zhao Yifu's face was very unfamiliar to the world of cultivation.

But Liu Ying covered her mouth and exclaimed: "How could it be you?!"

Zhao Yian had his back to Zhao Yifu at this time, but just looking at his back he felt that he looked familiar.

At this time, Zhao Yifu turned his head slightly, facing Zhao Yian with his side profile, with a half-smile in the corner of his eyes.

Zhao Yian suddenly realized: "Second brother, it's you!"

Zhao Yifu smiled and said, "After all, I have grown a lot through this journey. It's not in vain that the Sect Master has put in so much effort."

Zhao Yian heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He said, "I knew Master was kind to me. I thought he was just throwing me here as cannon fodder."

Liu Ying covered her face and thought to herself, how could this idiot say anything?
But then she suddenly realized something.

If this mask actually belongs to Zhao Yifu, then wouldn't he have heard all the slander they had said along the way?

What a bad feeling...

Liu Ying's scalp tingled and she felt like the end was coming.

Zhao Yifu said calmly, "You didn't say anything wrong. If you had agreed to something so casually, the Sect Master would have had no choice but to expel you and make you an ordinary disciple."

Zhao Yian felt lost upon hearing this, as if he had lost a great opportunity.

Zhao Yifu: ...

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the people in front of him, or perhaps only the three top people in the cultivation world in the center position.

He said: "Zhao Yifu, a disciple of Danqing, has met Senior Hongmei, Senior Wuxian, Master Puji, and all of my fellow practitioners."

Still as polite and considerate as ever.

But at this time, Zhao Yifu's behavior gave people a different impression from Zhao Yian's. When he saluted like this, the three people did not dare to refuse.

Even the remaining six masters who were close to Yang Shen returned the greetings to him.

The gift of Yang Shen is not something that can be received casually.

Taoist Hongmei and his two old friends looked at each other and saw the difficulty in each other's eyes.

It is not surprising that there is a Yang Shen in charge of Danqing Sect, but what is surprising is the appearance of a young Yang Shen that has never been seen before, and he looks like an atypical Danqing Sect member, which makes things very difficult.

Finally, Taoist Hongmei said, "My dear Zhao, I wonder who your master is?"

Zhao Yifu laughed heartily and said, "My master's name is Liang Fengzi. I believe you must have heard of him."

"This..." Taoist Hongmei hesitated.

In the end, it was Wuxianzi who reacted and said, "I heard that the Northern Chunyang Sect has chosen a leader named Liang Fengzi. Could it be..."

Zhao Yifu was speechless for a moment... Good heavens, in the eyes of the southern cultivation world, the Chunyang Sect is indeed from the north.

He said in a clear voice: "That is my master."

Taoist Hongmei no longer dared to neglect him. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "So you are a disciple of the Pure Yang Sect Leader. I am so sorry for your disrespect."

"This is just a matter between the Southern Cultivation World and the Danqing Sect. I hope you, little friend Zhao, don't interfere."

Zhao Yifu was stunned for a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do.

Then he realized something and asked helplessly, "Everyone, don't you know that my master Liang Fengzi is from the Danqing Sect, and I am also from the Danqing Sect?"

"And the Danqing Sect has always been the orthodox lineage of Chunyang."

Now all the monks participating in the meeting became excited. No one would have thought that the Danqing Sect, which was not well-known in the southern cultivation world, actually had such an identity.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Chunyang Sect originally had little close connection with it.

For everyone in the cultivation world, those who don't know the truth only know that several major sects in the north suddenly combined into a large sect, but few people know that the three major branches and seven major sects of the Chunyang Sect have always been connected.

The Danqing Sect was not only unknown in the southern cultivation world, but was also very transparent in the Chunyang Sect, so that no one outside knew such important information.

Taoist Hongmei was also surprised, but then he suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder Danqingmen has had Yang Shen appearing continuously... and it is no surprise that you also have a Yang Shen."

The previous doubts can now be explained.

To be honest, a hundred years ago, when a leader with the cultivation level of Yangshen suddenly appeared in Danqing Sect, it really scared many people.

Many people were ready to take advantage of the Danqing Sect's misfortune and add insult to injury to see how this "vulgar" sect could produce a Yangshen?
It was the appearance of Qiu Yuzi that intimidated these evil spirits, but it also planted the seeds of greed in the hearts of many cultivators in the south. In their minds, the previous leader of the Danqing Sect, Yuanxiu Zhenren, must have obtained some special method to achieve the Yang God.

They have always been greedy and unwilling to accept defeat, feeling that Danqingmen is not worthy of keeping such a secret.

A typical example is Gui Hezi, who always finds trouble with Zhao Yian.

Now that Zhao Yi Fu has revealed the origin, it has resolved the doubts in the minds of the cultivators.

What came with it was a sense of absurdity in everyone's heart.

In their minds, the Danqing Sect used to be a very vulgar sect. They thought it was ridiculous that its disciples practiced only to become officials.

But now it looks like...

Monk Puji was amazed and admired and said, "So your sect has always used the officialdom as its spiritual center!"

Zhao Yifu nodded with a smile and said, "After all, the founder was an official before he entered Taoism. He first studied Confucianism to become an official, and then studied Taoism to become an immortal."

"So what our Danqing Sect represents is the stage when our founder first cultivated his Daoist heart in the officialdom."

Everyone suddenly understood and showed expressions of admiration.

Zhao Yifu's gentle and polite demeanor made many overlook his fleeting flash of dominance. Therefore, Taoist Hongmei spoke softly, "Since that's the case, the Danqing Sect... no, the Chunyang Sect spans both the north and the south, and is the orthodox lineage of the Xuan Sect. It's only natural that they should be aware of the changes taking place in the world, right?"

Zhao Yifu knew what he was going to say next, so he fixed his gaze on him and said calmly, "Indeed, our Chunyang Sect knew about this change in the world many years ago, and naturally we have a way to deal with it."

Hongmei and the others were all surprised, and Wuxian Lute Master couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if my friend...Fellow Daoist, could you tell me the root cause of this change?"

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "This matter is actually quite simple. Just like the Yin-Yang interaction and Tai Chi magic performed by Senior Hongmei earlier, what if we also viewed the entire world as a Tai Chi?"

Tai Chi itself is a concept of movement and change.

Just this one word made Taoist Hongmei suddenly enlightened. Perhaps this is the profound meaning of the words.

"I see!"

It dawned on him.

"The Yang World is in a state of deficiency, and the current changes are actually caused by the natural operation of the world!"

Taoist Hongmei felt a little ashamed in his sudden realization, as if he was ashamed of himself for not being able to figure it out first. After all, his Chonghe Yiqi Sect was originally about practicing yin and yang.

As he explained, everyone understood.

Although most people nodded, those who did not understand the concept of "Tai Chi" could only hear the general idea at most, while those who could fully understand it had achieved great success.

However, Taoist Hongmei was indeed quite capable. He calculated and tried to verify what he had learned, but he found something wrong. He suddenly said, "No, it doesn't match... According to my calculations, this Que Yin state shouldn't have arrived so early, and it shouldn't have lasted this long..."

"Yes, normally the Que Yin state should only appear for a moment. That moment might cause a lot of trouble, but soon the world will enter the Lao Yin-Shao Yang state. It shouldn't stay in the Que Yin state for a long time."

Zhao Yifu nodded heavily after hearing this and said, "This is the disaster."

"But the impact shouldn't be significant. The state of lacking Yin cannot last long. Otherwise, the entire Infinite World will suffer from the reversal of Yin and Yang."

"It won't last long."

Zhao Yifu actually knew that this was probably the result of the eternal resentment buried under the underworld, and maintaining the Queyin state was actually helping the underworld to release some pressure.

After all, in Zhao Yifu's opinion, the ghost place of the underworld has actually collapsed badly. The most intuitive manifestation is that there are too few ghost officials, and they have never been effectively replenished.
