Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 278 Hede
The sunny days for several days in a row are extremely precious on the ground of Qizhou that has just been hit by wind and snow.

Especially as the temperature rises, the warmth gradually grows, and even gives people an illusion that the severe winter is about to pass, and the twilight and thunder are about to usher, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

On Qinglin Mountain, in Qingyang Courtyard.

Accompanied by a dull and depressing sound.

The heavy and solid door of the practice room was pushed open.

A figure slowly walked out of it.

The warm sunlight slanted down, coating the black robe with a faint golden layer.

The exposed skin, under the sunlight, has distinct textures, like diamond glass, showing a restrained dark golden luster.

Time passed little by little.

Wei Tao closed his eyes slightly, and touched lightly with his fingers.

Suddenly, like the sound of a chime, it quietly swayed in Qingyang courtyard, echoing long and leisurely.

After a few breaths, the dark golden color of the skin quietly receded, turning from vajra glass to jade-like fineness. Against the backdrop of light golden sunlight and black robes, it looked even more handsome and graceful, like a gentleman.

Suddenly, a dark fragrance floated, and a beautiful figure floated lightly.

Quietly, it has come to the front.

"I don't see her person, I don't listen to her voice, I just smell the fragrance of the orchid, and I know it's my senior sister."

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, and when he landed on the approaching figure, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, inexplicably dazed.

Ni Tang didn't wear the usual high crown robes today, but a light yellow skirt with a snow-white cloak on top, which immediately gave him a feeling of surprise that he had never felt before.

She stopped a few steps away and looked over with a smile on her face, "Junior brother has retreated for ten days, and his cultivation level has improved again. It seems that the wish to let you fight me with all your strength will never come true."

"Has it been so long?"

Hearing this, Wei Tao was suddenly a little lost in thought, "I thought it would only take two or three days at most, and I planned to go back to Fucheng after leaving the customs."

Ni Xuan said, "Junior Brother, there is no need to worry, everything in Fucheng is fine now, I will always keep in mind what you explained before you went down the mountain and went north.

And the Taoist soldiers of the mountain gate have not withdrawn all the time, so I let them guard the ground in the south city, and they can deal with it immediately if there is any situation, and report to the mountain gate to know. "

Wei Tao let out a long sigh of relief, "Senior sister took care of me meticulously, and my junior brother is very grateful."

Speaking of this, he showed a gentle smile, "As for the senior sister who wants to compete with me, the younger brother can accompany me at any time, and it is actually no problem to go all out, as long as the senior sister stands behind me."

However, Ni Yan refused with a smile, "If you really want to compete with the younger brother, then forget it, I was just talking about it for a while.

At least in the recent period, I have to calm down, stabilize my state of mind, and try to reduce the number of times I use force, especially to reduce life-and-death confrontations with all-out shots. "

Wei Tao listened silently, his eyes suddenly flashed, and even his voice was a little more surprised, "Senior Sister has stepped into the mystery?"

Ni Tang nodded, and walked out together with him, "After going down the mountain this time, I have fought against the Northern Wilderness warriors who sneaked in several times, raising my spirit to the peak time and time again.

So on the night when the wind stopped snowing, suddenly saw the new moon appearing through the clouds, reflecting a ray of silver light, and naturally opened the door, and stepped into the level of mystic feeling. "

With his hands behind his back, Wei Tao walked slowly, and from time to time he gestured to the disciples of Qingyang Academy who were respectfully saluting.

He was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say, "Has the Dao Master completed the missing part of the Xuanyuan Secret Art of this sect?"

Ni Xuan shook his head, "It hasn't really been completed yet, but what the teacher means is that the sun and the moon are full and the Tao is natural. Sometimes the pursuit of excessive perfection will be too deliberate and lose the artistic conception that this sect should have."

Speaking of this, she showed a smile on her face, "I see that Junior Brother Wei's divine light is introverted, his bones and muscles are ice-cold, and he looks like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi when he moves and stays still. Could it be that he is about to break through the realm of mystic sense and stand in the harmony of yin and yang?" , in front of the Martial Dao Grandmaster's door?"

"The description of jade bone ice muscle, from the mouth of the senior sister, makes me somewhat embarrassed."

Wei Tao also smiled, and then he sighed, "I practice the Vajra Secret Technique, this time I retreated to my soul, my perception captured the relevant profound thoughts, and I broke through two barriers in a row. barrier.

However, there are still great difficulties in front of me if I want to truly become a master of breaking through the profound sense. I am still slowly groping, and I don't have much clues for a while. "

"The difficulty that the younger brother mentioned should be related to the transformation of heaven and man, and the harmony of yin and yang."

Ni Tang thought slowly and said, "Perceiving and capturing the profound thoughts of the exercises you practice is an indispensable way to break through the realm of masters with profound sense.

But only the profound thoughts are not enough. It also needs the sympathy between heaven and man, and the yin and yang, so as to reflect oneself, escape from all kinds of delusions, and reach the realm of martial arts masters. "

"The disciple has met the master and Ni Daozi."

At this moment, another disciple from Qingyang Academy passed by, and they gave way to the side of the road early, and waited for them to pass by with great courtesy.

Wei Tao fell into deep thought, while Ni Tang turned his head and smiled at the disciple.

The Qingyang courtyard disciple straightened up, subconsciously turned his head to look at the two figures that were drifting away, and couldn't help feeling a little bewildered.

Ni Tang stopped in front of a long corridor, and continued, "It is recorded in the classics of our school, and the teacher occasionally mentioned it before, everything in the world is created by the intersection of yin and yang. If yin and yang do not intersect, good fortune will not be born. .

The same is true when it comes to martial arts practice. As the saying goes, solitary yin does not grow, and solitary yang does not grow. Knowing that males guard females, yin and yang are in harmony. "

"As for the metamorphosis of heaven and man, there is also a saying called the sympathy between heaven and man, or the harmony between heaven and man. Human refers to the warrior himself. If heaven is understood in a more superficial way, it refers to the surrounding environment.

The spirituality and strength of the master martial artist are in harmony with the surrounding environment, and can even be influenced, and in turn benefit themselves from the surrounding environment, which is the concrete embodiment of the interaction between heaven and man. "

"The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking, and the way of man is to make up for what is not enough. This is the harmony between man and nature, and the foundation of all changes."

Wei Tao had a feeling in his heart, recalling the martial arts masters he once fought against.

The masters at all levels are indeed like what Ni Tang said, able to harmonize mind and mind, mind and body, and the surrounding environment.

To fight against them, you can only stand in front of the martial arts master with enough violence to break a gap in this artistic conception by using the Hunyuan Guiyi, the secret method cathode, and even superimposing the Qisu combined attack like him.

But even so, when facing Ru Gongyuan and Longsheng, whether it was the strange fog surrounding the palace or the golden dragon artistic conception of Longsheng suppressing an area, they all had a considerable impact on him.

It can even be said that if it wasn't for Gongyuan's misjudgment and wrong style of play, Long Sheng was old and weak when he finally broke through the anode, and his hidden injuries broke out. Whether he can win the final victory is still unknown, and there is still a possibility of defeat and death .

Then, the problem arises.

How to do the metamorphosis of heaven and man and the harmony of yin and yang in the Vajra secret method?
How can we achieve the King Kong artistic conception of the Northern Wilderness Henglian Grandmaster?
"No, no..."

Wei Tao suddenly woke up, a light flashed in his heart.

"How do you say that sentence, those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die, so what I need to do is to find a methodology, instead of just aiming at the results achieved by the other party, but ignoring the really important process.

Just like this time, I realized and captured the profound thoughts of King Kong's secret method. It was also based on the previous catalog of visualization, understanding and washing the moon. I walked out of my own path, and only then was I able to see the golden armor phantom that is different from Beihuang Mengzhi.

On the other hand, if I was comprehending mystical thoughts, I would just aim at the artistic conception shown by Meng Zhi and copy it. I am afraid that if I want to draw a tiger, I will not be a dog, and the bamboo basket will be in vain. "

Ni Tang on the side didn't disturb his thinking, he sat quietly on the stone bench in the gazebo, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Time passed little by little.

The two stood and sat, both silent.

The atmosphere was exceptionally peaceful and peaceful.

People can't bear to come over and break it.

But as the sun was rising, a young female disciple approached cautiously, stood outside the pavilion and bowed her knees.

"Ni Daozi, the deacon Mei in the courtyard asked his disciples to ask, the lunch has been prepared, do you know where the son and the principal are planning to eat?"

Ni Tang was bathed in the warm afternoon sun, enjoying the rare peace and tranquility, for a moment he felt a little lazy and didn't want to get up.

She thought for a while, and said apologetically, "If it's convenient, I'll trouble you to send the food here, and Junior Brother Wei and I can eat some at will in this pavilion."

"Daozi is polite, no trouble, no trouble at all."

The female disciple bowed again, "I'm going to find Deacon Mei right now, and bring the freshly cooked food."

Not long after, she went and came back.

Followed by several servants of Qingyangyuan, they moved a huge dining table and two chairs, and served wine with their hands and feet.

Wei Tao came back to his senses at this moment, took a sip from the wine cup Ni Xuan handed over, and sighed contentedly.

Just as he picked up a chopstick of soft stewed meat and put it into his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and returned to the house.

When she sat back at the table, she already had a crystal clear necklace in her hand.

Shining brightly in the sun, shining with dazzling brilliant light.

"This necklace is a gift from my junior brother?"

Ni Yan smiled sweetly, with beautiful eyes looking forward, sparkling in his eyes, and ripples appeared in his eyes.

Wei Tao smiled gently, "Although I didn't collect any more critical and detailed information during this trip to the Northern Wilderness, I did get some occasional gains in other aspects. These two necklaces are a gift for the reunion after a long absence. The senior sister and the family sister are just right. One per person."

Ni Tang reached out to take it, put it in the palm of his hand to appreciate it for a moment, and then put it on his body directly.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Does it look good?"

The golden sun shines all over the earth, and the mountain breeze passes through the pavilion slowly.

Wei Tao watched quietly, without speaking.

Warm sun in winter, green mountains and white snow.

Yiren is like jade, warm and moist like water.

All this was deeply engraved in his mind, and he didn't even want to make a sound, for fear of accidentally destroying this beautiful picture like a scroll.

After a long time, Wei Tao drank the medicinal wine in one gulp, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly didn't know what to say or what to say.

He just looked at the messy black hair beside her ear, then lowered his eyes subconsciously, staring at the red pattern painted on the edge of a pan, his mind was inexplicably drifting at this moment, and after turning countless turns, he landed in an inexplicable place. another place.

"At the beginning, I used a tricky thread to trace part of the content of the Moon Washing Catalogue, so if you think about it from one instance to another, the true meaning of King Kong's secret method is also to use points to make lines, and lines to make planes. show up?"

"If it can be done and it is effective, doesn't it mean that the true meaning of Xuan Nian can be fixed by some means?
In this way, it is natural to visualize and comprehend whenever you want, and the efficiency of practice will definitely increase several times compared to before. "

"The time I ran into Gongyuan on Qinglin Mountain Road, she said that she had poor aptitude and didn't have a great talent for cultivation.

But with the level of strength she showed, and the three great masters Dingxuan, Qinglian, and Wudi who can freely use their skills like eating and drinking, I am afraid that even the leader of the Golden Dragon of the Northern Wilderness will not be able to catch up.

This is not a matter of poor aptitude and no talent. It can be described as stunning talent and terrifying talent. "

"So, whether the palace garden has come to this point and whether it has anything to do with Youxuan Weisi has become a question worthy of in-depth study.

However, looking at her words and deeds before she died, Weisi seemed to have great hidden dangers, but what kind of results would be caused, the information I have now is not complete, and it is impossible to make a more accurate judgment. "

Wei Tao took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

He completely forgot the delicious dishes on the table, and he didn't even put down the wine cup in his hand, so he fell into deep thinking again.

Ni Tang didn't bother him either, and sat there drinking tea silently, with a relaxed posture and a calm expression.

It formed an extremely sharp contrast with the previous appearance of sacrificing all the time to immerse himself in practice.

"Every movement and stillness, one piece and one relaxation, the senior sister is well versed in the way of civil and martial arts, and she will be able to get through the mysterious feeling safely."

Just as Wei Tao opened his eyes, he didn't care that the food on the table had cooled down, and it was swept away like a storm.

It wasn't until he took the last sip of the medicinal wine that Ni Tang smiled and said, "I can't talk about safety. Since I entered the mysterious sense, I have also been troubled by all kinds of delusions, but I seldom show it, so I look so relaxed."

As she said that, she slowly got up from behind the table, "If the war breaks out again, our sect will definitely bear the brunt. The Taoist master and all the elders are busy these days, and many Taoist temples outside the mountain have also started the final preparations. I hope it is just a false alarm in the end. field."

Wei Tao nodded, followed behind out of the pavilion, "Think about the worst, work hard for the best, most things in the world are like this."

The sky is getting dark, and the cold wind is blowing again.

The city of Qizhou is bustling and noisy, and it seems that it has not yet received the pressure from the Northern Border Pass.

Wei Tao walked slowly along the crowd, and soon came to the location of his own restaurant.

There are people coming and going in front of the door, and the business is booming.

He stood in front of the door and watched for a moment, then turned and left.

Not long after, Wei Tao came out of his empty house and went straight to the courtyard where the headquarters of Sancaimen was located.

The two disciples were having a meal in the concierge's hut, with a pot of shochu and a few dishes of side dishes, chatting while drinking, very happy.

Wei Tao didn't bother them, he entered the courtyard in a blink of an eye, and walked towards Mufang's place in a familiar way.

Still some distance away, a sudden gust of evening wind blew by, bringing with it a bloody smell so strong that it could hardly be melted away.

He frowned slightly, his vital qi and blood spontaneously circulated, and he took another step forward.

The black robe on his body stretched against the wind, and with a hunting sound, he crossed the entire vestibule in an instant and came to the gate of the inner courtyard.

Without any sound, Wei Tao had already arrived in the courtyard, with a strange and complicated expression on his face, quietly looking at the Sancai sect master who was busy not far away.

And the wild deer that Mu Fang kept tossing about.

Skinned, bled, deboned, and fleshed out.

Mu Fang's series of movements are smooth and flowing, which has a unique aesthetic feeling like a dog dispelling a cow.

On the table next to it, there were also various seasonings, which were complete at first glance, and some even Wei Tao had never seen or heard of them.

Mu Fang was so busy there that he didn't even notice that there was an extra person in the yard.

Wei Tao observed for a while, then slowly walked out from the dark place, "I never noticed that Brother Mu is good at cooking, but I am quite surprised and surprised."

Mu Fang didn't raise his head and said, "You don't know that. When I was young, your eldest brother and my family were born as butchers who slaughtered pigs and sheep. After so many years, our family's handicrafts naturally cannot be lost."

He had a big belch, and kept talking on his hands, "Later, I dealt with restaurants a lot, and I learned some cooking skills without a teacher, until later..."

Mu Fang suddenly kept silent, turned around with some doubts, and looked towards this side.

"At first, I thought it was some blind guy in the door who insisted on running to disturb me when I was most focused."

He muttered to himself, with a wider smile on his face, "I didn't expect Brother Wei to come, Brother Yu, I can't be awake from the wine at noon, I'm asleep and dreaming."

"I see that Brother Mu is very sober, and he has the ability to predict the future."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and pointed at the venison on the table, "Did the elder brother figure out in advance that I would come over, so he prepared to cook the meat himself?"

"Brother Wei's flattery made a thick-skinned person like Wei a little embarrassed."

Mu Fang paused for a moment, "My brother has just returned to Fucheng."

Seeing Wei Tao nodding, he went on to say, "Brother Wei may not know that the old man and his wife are no longer living in that house, and they have moved to a better place. I went to have a drink at home yesterday. .”

"Since my brother returned to Fucheng last time, the young lady of Jiedushi's family often went to restaurants to eat, and even under the name of eldest lady, opened several restaurant branches in Fucheng, and there are other shops nearby.

Later, Second Master Feng bought the mansion in the garden next to the Jiedu Shi's mansion, and wanted Uncle Wei to live there, but the old man politely declined..."

While talking about picking up the important things, Mu Fang suddenly threw away the butcher knife, and cleaned his hands in the basin next to him, "I'm just thinking about handling these venison properly, and choosing the best place to send it to the old man tomorrow.

But since Brother Wei is here today, it is better to choose another day than hit the sun, and I will take you there after I change my clothes. "

A quarter of an hour later.

The two stopped in front of a tall courtyard.

Before he really got close, Wei Tao felt several vigilant eyes betting on him.

The next moment, the breath from where the gaze came from suddenly fluctuated violently, and it was no longer the ice-cold calm that was restrained like a rock.

Wei Tao turned around to look, and shook his head slightly.

Then, together with Mufang, they knocked on the closed door.

Not long after, there was a soft creak.

The small door used to observe the situation was opened.

Wei Rongxing laughed heartily, "It turned out to be Xiao Mu, you came at the right time, I just cooked a big table of dishes, and opened a jar of good wine, just in time for us to have a few drinks together."

He opened the door and glanced at the deer leg that Mufang was carrying, "Didn't I tell you before, it's fine for you to come here, there's no need to bring things all the time."

Mufang laughed, "Uncle Wei, besides these two deer legs, I also brought a big gift today, which is definitely a big gift that will make you fall in love with it."

"Oh? Then I really want to take a closer look. What kind of gift is it that can make..."

Wei Rongxing looked behind Mufang while talking, and his voice stopped abruptly at this moment.

He took two quick steps, went down the steps, and muttered to himself, "Brother Tao is back, it's Brother Tao who's back."

"Seeing that my father is well, I feel relieved." Wei Tao held Wei Rongxing's arm and walked slowly towards the door.

"Your mother had a dream two days ago, and she has been talking about you since then, asking whether she will come back before the Chinese New Year, whether you have grown taller, whether you need to prepare new cotton clothes..."

Wei Rongxing rambled on, his voice had calmed down, but the expression on his face became more joyful.

When he came to the brightly lit part of the courtyard, he stopped and carefully looked at Wei Tao in front of him.

"Brother Tao seems to be whiter than before when he comes back this time, but it's a good thing he hasn't lost weight."

Mu Fang sent the two deer legs to the kitchen, and left immediately after coming out, no matter how Wei Rongxing tried to persuade him to stay, he would leave.

The dining room is warm as spring and brightly lit.

Zheng Suyun kept picking food, his eyes were full of nothing but his own son.

"What about elder sister, why haven't you come back yet?" Wei Tao asked after having a drink with Wei Rongxing.

Zheng Suyun said, "In the afternoon, she and Xiaoshang went to Feng's mansion together. It seemed that Miss Feng's body was not feeling well, so they went to visit together, and they should come back after some time."

She glanced outside, "I haven't come back at this time, it should be left at home by Qu Shang for dinner again."

"Your father and I go out less recently, and Xiao Hong goes out a little more, but every time, Master Shang personally leads people to follow secretly, and in addition, there are those black-clothed subordinates secretly sent by Brother Tao to protect, Brother Tao There is no need to worry."

Wei Tao said, "Father and mother should go out when they should. It's no fun staying at home all the time."

Zheng Suyun smiled, "It's mainly because the weather is bad ahead and it's snowing all the time, or I'd still go shopping in the street, drink tea with people, and then chat."

"Speaking of this, when we were sitting in our teahouse, many wealthy families from the city came over, and it seemed that they wanted to talk about marriage with Brother Tao.

I have met a few girls, whether it is appearance, character, or family style, they are pretty good. Although your father said not to be your boss, but I think if Brother Tao is interested, you might as well try to get in touch with her. After a while, maybe you will like people when you see them. "

"I see, let's talk about it next time."

Wei Tao raised his glass and changed the subject, "I heard from the pastor that the family business is getting bigger and bigger?"

"It's really big, but except for our restaurant at the beginning, your mother and I have kept the money earned from other restaurants, teahouses and shops."

Wei Rongxing took a sip of wine, his face was already slightly flushed, "Your eldest sister and we eat enough and clothe ourselves every day, so it's really useless to ask for so much money, if we really mess around, we're defeating brother Tao. Your luck.

What's more, these industries and money are gathered like water because of Brother Tao, and sometimes they can't be stopped.

So I told your mother and Xiaohong a long time ago that some things may be hot to touch, so don't touch them, so as not to cause trouble for you. "

Wei Tao sighed secretly, "Spend the money as you like, and do whatever you want, father, don't think too much."

Zheng Suyun helped the two refill their drinks, "We are living very comfortably now, and we know that brother Tao is working hard outside, but we can't help you. All we can do is pray for you every day."

Suddenly the sound of footsteps came, Wei Hong quickly opened the door, saw the figure sitting in front of the table, and suddenly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.

In the courtyard outside the door, the figures of several Qingshan Club disciples quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Before you know it, the night is getting darker.

Wei Tao walked slowly in the courtyard, and Shang Bian quietly followed behind.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Master Shang's improvement progress has even exceeded my expectations."

Shang Bian bowed and saluted, "Mr. Hui, since my subordinates have been taught by the master, it seems that the spiritual orifice has been opened, and the progress of practice has improved by leaps and bounds. I really don't dare to believe it myself."

After reporting all the recent events in detail, Shang Bian suddenly mentioned the matter of protecting Wei Hong to visit Miss Feng's family today.

Wei Tao listened silently, his expression became a little more serious.

"Sir, there are many servants in Feng Jiedu's mansion, and it's normal for a few people with blood deficiency and pale complexion to appear among them.

But because the eldest lady entered the mansion, the subordinates asked people to follow up secretly, only to find that the abnormality of this person's body was somewhat similar to the tragedy caused by the Red Lantern Society in Cangyuan City. "

After a moment of silence, Shang Bian lowered his voice, "More importantly, when our people got close, we noticed an inexplicable familiarity from that guard, and even the spirit silk bestowed by Mr. "

"Also, on the way back, the young miss also mentioned that Miss Feng, who used to be lively and lovely, is now lying on the bed and can hardly move. She is so skinny."

"I still remember the manor outside Fucheng. Miss Feng's family can be regarded as an interesting person."

Wei Tao sighed, looked up at the moonlit night sky with few stars, "I know about this, Master Shang has worked hard today, go down and have a good rest."

Shang Bian took a step back and bowed, "It's my honor to serve you sir."

After a while, the entire courtyard became quiet again.

Only Wei Tao was left standing quietly in the middle, as if intertwined with the night, without distinction.
