Inner Demons

It all started on a long summer afternoon—at that time, Xiaoyunshan was no different from the outside world. There is no difference in the four seasons and no difference in time.

At that time, the vast platform on the top of Yunshan was not empty and lonely—many halls and houses were densely covered with it, and there were countless vegetation that thrived due to the power of the talisman mantra. People in the world say that there is a heaven with gold and silver decorations and white jade bridges above Yunshan. This is not a delusion. At that time, it did exist.

Then, there was a huge fire cloud dropping from the sky, right in the middle of Yunshan.

At that time, there were two hundred 34 cultivators on the top of the mountain, and there were 23 people above the real world. The mortal servants were fourteen thousand six hundred and sixty-five people. The fire cloud fell in the middle of the mountain top, emitting a terrifying power. In an instant, all the people and buildings scattered ashes and dispersed smoke on the mountain, leaving no trace.

Su Sheng emphasized when he told the story, the “instant” here is not a word used to describe it, but indeed, it is shorter than a blink of an eye.

——No one knows where this terrifying power comes from and what is in the fire cloud.

After destroying the people and buildings on the top of the mountain, the fire cloud went down again, and blasted a passage through Yunshan directly to Xiaoyunshan inside. With its aggressive coming, it should have destroyed the Xiaoyun Mountain inside. However, Xiaoyun Mountain is nothing ordinary–

In the floating mountain peak inside, there is an array laid by the heavens and humans hidden. It is the array that drives the entire cloud and mountains to patrol the middle land of the ten worlds above the sky, possessing the enormous power of unimaginable cultivators.

So after Huoyun floated in the middle of the mountain top, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

No one knows where this cloud of fire comes from and what it contains. But some cultivators think that perhaps this is one of the signs that heaven and humans have not lowered the decrees for the next thousand years-the human cultivator may have done something wrong to offend heaven and humans. And this is a herald of the imminent punishment of devas.

But the ultimate real impact is that some kind of weird power began to appear inside this Xiaoyun Mountain. From then on, this limited the space of supernatural powers gradually increased. At first it was just one or a few points, but quickly spread to connect into lines and pieces. In the end, the entire space within Xiaoyun Mountain was filled with this weird power-the supernatural power was finally banned.

At that time, there were three saints above Yunshan.

“This kind of thing, don’t talk about thousands of years. It is unheard-of since the prosperity of humanity. So when the three of us, the first thought was not panic, but curiosity.” Su Sheng leaned against the stone wall and said to Li Yunxin.

Before, Li Yunxin Divine Ability was also banned, and this Susheng could not be released. And Su Sheng only told him to go somewhere and by what means to get to this floating mountain at a certain night and time. None of the rest is said. He was taken into Xiaoyun Mountain by Li Yunxin and complained first. After complaining, Li Yunxin asked Li Yunxin to take him to the air-planning to get his fleshy body back.

But at least in the matter of “floating on the sky”, the two people have the same purpose. So this happened tonight.

At this moment when they climbed to the top of the floating mountain, Li Yunxin discovered that some magical powers were actually available.

But I don’t intend to follow Su Sheng’s guidance in a ignorant way anymore. These centuries-old monsters have a deep heart. If he can’t figure out the matter first, how can he rest assured that his life and the time in this place and this kind of time will be handed to him?

Although he doesn’t care about his life very much now, he has come to this step with difficulty, and he doesn’t want to fall short.

So-Su Shengxian was asked to clarify the matter, and then he decides what to do tonight.

When he heard this, he heard Su Sheng mentioned the “Three Saints”, and a certain subtle emotion suddenly appeared in his heart. So he stood on the edge of the mountain, thought for a moment, and interrupted him: “Painting Saint…what’s his name?”

“She…” Su Sheng laughed, meaning unknown, “I just asked By the way. Her real name is in the world—now, there are only two people. If you count you, there are three.”

“She claims to be Chen surnamed, with a single name. Words.”

“Chen Yu.” Li Yunxin saw that Su Sheng wrote a few strokes in the sky while saying this word, so he repeated it in a low voice.

Since what the Book Sage said, it should not be fake. Just…a bit disappointed. The girl’s name that I thought was so funny should be funny too. Do you know it’s just these two words? The Chen surname is common, and the character for 豢豢—the character for 豢豢豢, is more common. For the first time…

Suddenly he was stunned.

Li Yunxin first learned of this word because he heard a short story. Naturally, I didn’t hear about it in this life, but the previous life-there was a man who raised a dragon for the Yellow Emperor. Because of the well-raised, Huangdi gave him a surname-the dragon clan.

The dragon’s clan…

The dragon…

Dragon.

The painting sage Chen Yu appeared in the world about 2,200 years ago, when the 200th 13th generation of sword sage Pei Yunjin failed the Transcending Tribulation and traveled the world [Note 1].

She only cultivated for 200 years before she was promoted to the Supreme Indifference realm, establishing the sect. At that time-2000 years ago, it was an era of turmoil. True Dragon is now present, Kim Peng King is now present.

Fat, dragon. Between the two… will there be any relationship?

This thought stayed in his mind for two breaths of time. Then he laughed and shook his head slightly: “You know her name. Now I am the third person who knows her name. What about the other one?”

Su Sheng also laughed, a little proud:” It’s another person. Actually you’ve already seen it. You’ve seen it many times. It’s just that I don’t tell you, I want you to think about it slowly.”

——It seems to be Li Yunxin just now He bickered in revenge. This Saint reincarnate and recultivate, who has lived for thousands of years, is about to become a genuine young man after his emotions-I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Li Yunxin really tried to think for a while. But then gave up-this time is not a good time to guess such things. If it is vital to tonight’s action, I will not hide it if I want to come to Susheng. That being the case, I don’t think about it for the time being, just keep it in my heart.

By the way: “You guys are curious. Then?”

“Then…” Su Sheng laughed, “Then Chen Yu got some bauble. You should know When this space first appeared, it was just a few’dots’. Later, when it was connected into a piece, the original spaces became’dots’. Therefore, she wrapped those dots with the method of painting.”

“These are the flying birds you are looking at. Those flying birds were drawn by her. Within the body there is an unrestricted space, so the Spiritual Qi is hidden. You can come and go freely here, and become “The baby from Shangxiayunshan.” Su Sheng pointed down, “The reason why the pseudo-saint left you here without worrying about it is because this thing can only be used on the mountain and know the method. Nearly 1,000 The height of meters is not afraid of how you can come up.”

Li Yunxin sighed then said: “Yes. At this height, there are babies who can look at me at any time, but I don’t worry. But—— “

He said this, but Su Sheng suddenly laughed and looked rather disdainful.

Li Yunxin frowned: “What?”

“Look at you anytime?” Su Sheng grinned, two rows of teeth flashed white light in the dark, “You mean that Mirror symbol-he stretched out his hand in the air and compared it vainly, and a mirror appeared. It can show you people outside the mountain, and you can also recruit people outside the mountain, right?”

——Su Yusong did use such a method that day.

I told him to watch the outside time pass very slowly, but I really showed him Liu Gongzan. Furthermore, it is also to remind him-although his Divine Ability is forbidden here, Su Yusong can fly around in this space and see his actions at any time, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

But now listening to Su Sheng’s words and looking at his expression, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Li Yunxin did ask him about this before he acted tonight-you know, after six full days here, he was acting for six full days. Every action, every word and deed, was played for Su Yusong who might be staring at him on the floating mountain. However, tonight Su Sheng only told him “to keep you safe.”

“So, this is also a weird thing.” Li Yunxin sighed then said, “That thing is called a mirror talisman? I have been teased for six days…for six days?”

“hmph. Mirror talisman-it is said to be talisman, in fact, it is not an orthodox method, nor is it a Sword Sect method.” Su Sheng snered, “It was Chen Yu’s method. Earlier, she said that she was only the’point’ left. When I drew the flying birds-before the update, when there was still the face left, she drew the mirror charm. The number is very small, but there are hundreds of that’s all.”

” You use one of the pseudo-sacred cause, and you really can look up to you. There is also the purple talisman—you can talk and meet people away from thousands of miles and ten thousand li, and it is also Chen Cong’s method. It just needs more— -There are tens of thousands of pieces that have flowed into the mundane world. Alas…You painting Dao, although it can be regarded as Tianxin Fa-rectification, it is fundamentally different from the book and the sword.”

Speaking of which, paused, deliberately squinting at Li Yunxin.

What does Li Yunxin mean by this?

He used to be Saint after all. I have also been with the painting sage, the highest cultivation base, for many years. Even if I don’t cultivate this Dao, I still understand certain Dao ideals. Looking at cultivation from Saint’s point of view, it must be different from them. There was real material in his heart-but Li Yunxin didn’t have much respect for Saint before, so he picked it up, just wanting to see Li Yunxin’s unwillingness and unwillingness to be awkward and soft.

However…

Li Yunxin simply bowed his face and bowed down, “The true Saint is on the top. Look at the same place with my painting school Sect Founder. For thousands of years of love, please help Junior Li Yunxin!”

Su Sheng was stunned, and didn’t know what to say—though he had already learned Li Yunxin before. He’s fast, but how can I expect him to be so shameless…

After a long time, he sighed helplessly: “Ah…but it’s…really…well. Then Chen Yuhe Your temperament really is—that’s all that’s all.”

“Just tell you about it.”

He sighed again before saying: “Dao Tong and Sword Sect The fundamental method is to use the spirit strength that exists between Heaven and Earth. We cultivation people tempering the body Divine Soul, and practicing the spiritual Qi from the outside into the body, actually only borrowed a very small part of that’s all. Use the magical power of spell, the spirit strength does not come from Snow Mountain’s sea of ​​air. Rather-use the spirit strength of Snow Mountain’s sea of ​​air to motivate the spirit strength between Heaven and Earth. This is the path of Taoism and Sword Sect.”

“And what do you paint?” He glanced at Li Yunxin.

This Li Yunxin is still listening respectfully and kindly!

He’s such a faction… but there are really few in the world.

He sighed again: “Well, what do you paint? On the surface, you use the spirit strength of Snow Mountain to mobilize the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth. But in reality… Look, it was carved into the depths of the world avenue.”

He paused when he said that, look at Li Yunxin.

Li Yunxin also looked at him.

After three breaths, I realized that Su Sheng was waiting for Li Yunxin to give him feedback, but Li Yunxin didn’t understand anything and was waiting for him to continue speaking.

So Li Yunxin frowned: “Any more… more popular?”

Su Sheng also frowned: “How popular?”

Li Yunxin was sighed.

The reason why he sent out the bright jade slip is also for this reason-the thinking mode of painting saints…is very similar to this Susheng. In his opinion, many things that need a lot of theoretical support and basic system to understand, they have become commonplace. For example, explaining a world-level problem to a high school student, but the whole story is “easy to prove and get”-get a ghost!

Such a treasure is actually very tasteless to him-its role and troubles are not even as good as “Give it to Xin Xi Liu to verify her “Identity” has come with great benefits.

It turned out to be for this thing… They lived in seclusion for that many years, and they brought such disasters again.

Then spread his hands: “Then I can understand that the method of painting Dao is very unique. At a low level, it is indeed connected to many cultivation modes of Taoism and Sword Sect. But the more When it is profound, the differences and differences will be greater. In the end… It is almost possible to do many things that the first two cannot do-such as those flying birds and mirror charms?”

“There are also just your That rope.” Su Meili looked at him profoundly, “You were painting in front of Xin Xiliu a few days ago. This is supposed to be forbidden from magical powers, but your painting intention has not diminished. You were here again just now. Yamashita resorted to the method of turning the fictitious into reality. It is because in such a space where the Taoism and Sword Sect magical powers are forbidden… Painting Tao can work. Although it is also restricted, there are still gaps in it. Some avenues.”

“And this gap is also left by Chen Yu. Earlier, she said that she used to enlighten the flying bird and the mirror to enlighten the face. The emptiness formed by the faces. This emptiness…” Su Sheng sighed, the expression dimmed, “Ai, this emptiness… is the past… ah, before the war, ah…wrong thing…wrong thing Ah…Ah…”

His face was bleak and his tone was low. After that, he kept sighing, and gradually it became difficult to speak completely.

It was just a blink of an eye…

His whole figure was taken out of his bones, and he was paralyzed on the ground.

“Ah…that’s all. There is nothing left to say…Ah…life is alive…”

So Li Yunxin knew that he pulled out from Su Sheng’s subconscious level The third personality… was overwhelmed again.

The “emptiness” and “previously” mentioned by Su Sheng seem to refer to the time when “painting the sage becomes enchanted”, and when the double sage is against the purpose of painting. After talking about the past, the feeling of remorse aroused the melancholy in his heart like a river, making him fall into the terrifying depression again.

But now his mind is focused on another word-Kong.

His current status is also the “empty” that has been kissed by Chi. He has never heard an explanation of this word in Taoism, Sword Sect, or any Demon, but now he has heard it in the former book saint.

Are these two emptiness… the same concept, or an approximate concept?

The essence of painting…what does it have to do with this?

Li Yunxin suddenly felt that he seemed to have a little understanding of what Su Sheng meant by “carving into the avenue”. But it is still only a vague concept, not clear. If he wants to know more, he must know more about painting.

And this is one of the purposes he wants to go to the floating mountain. Su Sheng told him that there are many relics of painting saints left in the palaces of Fukong Mountain. Those ruins are more loose and fragmented than the things in the bright jade slip. Some were left when she was experimenting with new tricks, and some were left when she was free to play with the Double Saints.

But more… are to be passed on to the Daoist priests under her at the time.

Li Yunxin knows that the former painter talents are dying. There are very few cultivators above the real world. This may have something to do with the tune of “easy to prove and get” that the painting saints are used to, but on the other hand it means…

With his current cultivation base, those paintings remain in this floating mountain palace. The things he can learn and understand!

On his way of painting before, he was like a genius child born in a scholarly family, with a solid foundation and good grades since childhood. But the family was ruined overnight, and seeing that he could step into a higher level of academy, he couldn’t enter—he could only scrape lessons from the bright jade slip piecemeal. Although talent is good, it is not a system after all. [Note 2]

But now…I finally know that an easy-to-understand “textbook” exists.

He wants this thing.

Because he felt that there might be some great secrets hidden in this painting.

On the other hand… the feeling of “not being proficient” in his “field of proficiency” is absolutely unbearable for him both in the past and in this life. He is used to well-know figures and geniuses. Nowadays, he has become a last-ditch in painting. Even if it is just to make his own thoughts clear, he has to…

You can’t break into the palace of this floating mountain!

So took a deep breath and sighed again. Walked to Su Sheng and picked him up—he had to take a risk and split the fourth personality from the sea of ​​consciousness. The danger ahead… Without this Susheng, he might be unable to move a single step.
