The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 57 The Whereabouts of Xun Ding
The enlightened beast took Bai Fu to the bank of the cold pool, and licked Bai Fu awake.After Bai Fu thanked him, he meditated with his legs crossed, and healed his injuries by self-exercise.

The Enlightened Beast cut open the chest and abdomen of the giant python with its sharp claws, and took out a python bead the size of a pigeon egg. The bead was as bright and clear as the moon, emitting a faint halo.If the candle is extinguished at night, it can illuminate a room.If you stare for a long time, you will feel that there are fairies and white cranes shaking in the bead.

The Enlightened Beast tore off two long inverted scales from the seven-inch necks of the two python heads: one golden scale, crescent-shaped; one red scale, red sun-shaped.These two scales are extremely hard, more flexible than steel.

After a while, the body of the python slowly sank to the bottom of the pool like a broken ship.

Seeing Bai Fu open his eyes, the Enlightened Beast grabbed the python bead, put it next to Bai Fu's mouth, and motioned to eat it.

Bai Fu knew that the Enlightened Beast was an ancient mythical beast, so there must be a deep meaning behind this move.So resisting the fishy smell, he slowly swallowed the python beads into his stomach.

The entrance of the python bead is like a line of shochu entering the throat, and a wave of heat rolls along the esophagus into the abdomen.For a moment, Bai Fu felt severe pain in his abdomen, like drinking poisonous wine, his head was sweating profusely, his eyes turned white, and he rolled on the ground moaning.

Bai Fu quickly sat cross-legged to guide.I just feel that the dantian is like a furnace, the flames are rushing up, wherever it goes, the meridian is broken, the blood vessels burst, and the blood seeps out from the pores of the skin, it is very terrifying.For a while, the body hit the chest like a giant hammer, and for a while it was like the scorching sun scorching the heart...

Bai Fu had a premonition that when the flames reached his heart, he would die.Bite the tip of his tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood, let the Lingtai wake up for a moment, then use Qingcheng's authentic Taoist heart method to protect the heart veins, and then try to let the true energy in the body guide the flames in the body.Qingcheng’s authentic Xuanmen true qi is well-known. Where the flame burns, the true qi enters the bone marrow meridians like ice dew, and the repaired meridians form snow-white spider webs, connecting all the muscles and blood vessels in the body, reflecting each other with the flames. Like fiery trees and silver flowers.

With the passage of time, the race between true energy and flames finally came to an end. The cold true energy and fiery flames merged into one, forming a balance of prehistoric power, wandering through the eight extraordinary meridians, and going back and forth in 72 caves...

The python bead is supernatural, through it, Bai Fu stares at the enlightened beast crouching in front of him, and can perceive the mind of the divine beast, and the two can communicate with each other.

Bai Fu followed the instructions of the Enlightened Beast, and put the gold and red python scales into the palm of his hand.These two python scales are quite miraculous, they can interact with the python beads in the abdomen, changing size according to one's will, when they are big they are like round shields, when they are small they are like mustard seeds.Bai Fu used his thoughts to drive the python beads, turning the python scales into two rings. The red dragon pattern ring was worn on the left middle finger, and the golden dragon pattern ring was worn on the right middle finger.

After handling it properly, Bai Fu climbed onto the tiger's back, grasping the red mane of the tiger's neck.The Enlightened Beast roared like a tiger, carried Bai Fu on its back, across mountains and ridges, and rushed into the cave behind the huge waterfall in the cold pool like walking on flat ground.

Bai Fu rolled over his tiger's back and froze on the spot.In the center of the cave stands a simple and heavy bronze tripod, which is similar to the bronze tripod I saw at the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, and it should be a kind of divine object.

Only then did Bai Fu know the intention of the two-headed python, and the task of the enlightened beast should be to protect the bronze tripod.

On the outside of the bronze tripod body, a huge symbol and eight landscape paintings appear.Rows of golden ancient seals engraved on the inside of the tripod emit golden light.The ancient seal characters are ancient and ancient. I don't know what they mean?The pattern on the bottom of the tripod should be a nebula map, shining with the light of wisdom like a galaxy.

Bai Fu thought of the mystery of the Yongding cauldron mentioned by Uncle Jiang, and examined it carefully. The huge symbol on the outside of the tripod was the Xun hexagram in the Book of Changes, the first line was Yin, and the upper two lines were Yang.The Xun hexagram represents wind. "There is nothing to accommodate in a journey, so I accept it as a sundae. The sundae, enter." The wind is invisible and colorless, and the long wind is endless.

Today's opportunity is all because of the Yong Ding, so Bai Fu is particularly interested in the Xun Ding.He observed several times, but couldn't get started.He thought about the scene of gaining the power of Yong Ding at that time, so he cut his wrist and splashed a large amount of blood on the bronze tripod.But this time was different, after the cauldron was soaked in Bai Fu's blood, there was no reaction.

Bai Fu tossed and tossed for two hours, but still got nothing.The Enlightened Beast looked at it and shook its head, sighing and regretting.

Fortunately, Bai Fu is a free and easy person, he didn't react when he saw the Xun Ding, and he didn't feel greedy, after all, the ancient artifacts can be obtained by the virtuous.Since there is no fate, there is no nostalgia.

Bai Fu gave a deep bow to the enlightened beast, and said: "Senior, I strayed into the Nether Valley because I was saving someone, so I ask you to lead the way and guide me and my junior sister back to Qingcheng."

The enlightened beast nodded, loaded Bai Fu on its back, and came to Yincui Valley.

Yichan sees Bai Fu again, tears streaming down her face.

Bai Fu told Yichan about discovering Xunding, and Yichan stared at the cave behind the huge waterfall in Hantan, dumbfounded.After regaining consciousness, Yichan strongly suggested that Bai Fu return to the cave, stay there for a long time, and continue to explore the secret of Xun Ding.I can take care of Bai Fu's daily diet by myself.

Bai Fu smiled and said: "Junior Sister, the Xunding Ding is an ancient artifact. It is not destined to come, so I can't force it on purpose. If you want me to say, let's pack our things quickly, Senior Divine Beast can take us back to the mountain."

Seeing that Bai Fu has already made up his mind, Yichan is reluctant to say anything.It's just that I am quite unwilling in my heart. If I can get the power of Xunding, I will be able to gallop the world. What does it matter if I leave the mountain one day earlier or later?After entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed, Yichan couldn't help feeling sorry for the two of them.

In addition, according to Yang Yichan's will, he is free and easy in Yincui Valley, and he really doesn't have to go back to face the faces of everyone, let alone being bullied by others.But thinking that his martial arts has been accomplished, it is a pity to bury Huanggu at such a young age, so he refrained from speaking at the moment, pretending to be elated, and together with Bai Fu tidy up the belongings accumulated over the years.

Yichan packs her bags swiftly and neatly, sorting all kinds of items into categories and bundling them up properly.In the past three years, he really saved a lot of good things. The medicine made from exotic flowers and herbs alone filled three big gourds.

The next day, Bai Yang and his wife tidied up, stopped at every step, and bid farewell to the Yin Cui Valley and Guishi Cave where they had lived. After all, they had lived there for three years, and they suddenly wanted to leave, and they were quite reluctant to leave.

The Kaiming Beast let out a tiger roar, and hundreds of mandrills rushed down from the mountain peak, carried the luggage of Bai Yang and his wife on their shoulders, and followed behind the Kaiming Beast.The Enlightened Beast carried two people on its back, across mountains and ridges, galloping in the high mountains.The two only felt that the trees on both sides were retreating rapidly, flying over the rock wall like clouds and fog.It rushed up to the sky for a while, and then fell straight into the valley for a while, so frightening!

Half an hour later, Kaiming Beast led the mandrills to the cliff of the Oath Ghost Terrace.When all the mandrills saw the Ghost Boundary Monument, they knelt down on the ground far away, trembling, not daring to approach it.

Bai Fu knelt down and bowed to the Kaiming Beast, saying: "Thank you for your kindness in saving me, senior. Let's say goodbye today. I will go back to the valley some other day and come to accompany me again!"

The enlightened beast touches Bai Fu with its head, showing affection and tenderness.The two communicated with each other, and Yiyi said goodbye.After a long time, the Enlightened Beast roared like a tiger, and led all the mandrills down the canyon, disappearing among the mountains in an instant like the tide receding.
