Fu Shifeng

Chapter 356 Taiyi Dragon Pond
"Kong Fangfang is indeed very capable."

Cheng Sanwu looked at a round stone in his hand, which was covered with black shadows similar to meridians, and praised: "Using the natural world-devouring power of the Taotie evil blood, I used the body of the Pure Light Goddess to protect the whole house. Sealed inside. Wuluo protects the body of a mountain spirit, full of vitality, but its spiritual consciousness is restricted by the Dharma of Pure Light Goddess. The two are in a stalemate with each other, but Kong Fang can manipulate her at will like a puppet. This kind of thinking, Ingenious indeed.”

After leaving Zangfeng Valley, Cheng Sanwu came between the east and west capitals. He first watched the Xia army pursue eastwards, and then met Wuluohu who was fleeing in the mountains and forests.

Because of the influence of the master's sword, Pure Light Goddess's body was injured, and she was unable to suppress the Uluo spiritual guardian consciousness with the Dharma. But Wuluohu was also in constant trouble because of the Taotie evil blood, which caused him to fall into madness. He fled into the mountains and forests to seek self-protection, but he could not even find his way back to Baishan Mountain in the Bohai Sea.

Cheng Sanwu observed for a while and found that Wuluohu was hopeless, so he casually drew out the Taotie evil blood and the true spirit of the mountain god. As for the body of Pure Light Goddess, they were thrown near Guoseyuan, and Quan Qing was alerted to prevent this kid from forgetting his past.

"You spoke so powerfully about Kong Fangfang, but wasn't he still beaten to ashes by Master Wen?" Chi Yang curled his lips.

"To be precise, it was Afu who killed Kong Yifang in the end." Cheng Sanwu reiterated with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I know your woman is amazing." Chi Yang rolled his eyes.

"And that Kang Yaluo is also very ingenious. Using the same method of transubstantiation to play this trick, it seems that the outer world is really colorful." Cheng Sanwu nodded repeatedly, stuffed the pebble into his mouth, and chewed it. Clicking.

Chiyang's teeth hurt when he heard this, and he asked: "Listening to what you said, do you also want to find out what's going on in the outer world?"

Cheng Sanwu swallowed, patted his belly, and said with a smile: "If you have a chance in the future, I might as well go and see it."

"Then what are we doing here now?" Chiyang raised his eyes and looked at a Taoist temple built on the mountain not far away. It rises step by step according to the terrain. The halls and halls are well-proportioned. With the morning glow, morning mist and incense, it's really... It is comparable to the fairy palace in heaven.

"This is the Balcony Palace of the Temple of Heaven Peak in Wangwu Mountain, and it is the Taoist temple of the Northern Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty." Cheng Sanwu sighed: "It's a pity that Bai Yunzi has ascended, otherwise I would have to ask for advice from the number one person in the Taoist sect."

Chi Yang laughed twice: "Not all Taoist priests are as desperate as Hong Ya."

"Although Bai Yunzi once teamed up with Fu Shifeng to suppress me, he was well aware of the current affairs and fled early when he saw that the momentum was not going well." Cheng Sanwu walked forward with his hands behind his back, raised his hand to make a virtual gesture, and mysterious magic power rippled out. As a result, the two of them did not touch the barrier covering Tiantan Peak, and the Taoist priests sweeping inside and outside the Balcony Palace were not aware of his presence at all.

"Bai Yunzi not only left Li Hanguang to work for Evergreen, but also left behind Jiao Jingzhen's inheritance of Qingxiu in the mountains. The world of mortals is properly arranged inside and outside. This insight into the world and the state of being able to remain calm is indeed no exaggeration. .”

Chi Yang felt a little disdainful: "It's just a coward who knows how to avoid disasters."

"This is the most brilliant magical power to prevent oneself and future generations from being put in danger. Doesn't it have to be throwing thunder, lightning, wind, fire, and talismans everywhere to be considered powerful?" Cheng Sanwu laughed.

While the two were chatting, they came to the bell tower of the Balcony Palace. This place originally enshrined the Vientiane Clock made by Bai Yunzi himself, but this magic weapon had already been taken by Li Hanguang to help Changqing, and now there was only a stone tower.

"Is there any particularity for building a bell tower on the mouth of a well?"

Chiyang found a well in the bell tower and looked around with confusion. Although the well was completely dark, he could feel the moist water inside. It was a rare spiritual spring. The spring water in the well is not only suitable for refining elixirs, but even if ordinary people drink it for many years, it can nourish the internal organs and have the wonderful effect of prolonging life.

"Xuanzhong Town Lingquan, Qingxu opens up all things." Cheng Sanwu's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the well spring: "This is one of the portals of Qingxu Cave in Wangwu Mountain."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Sanwu snapped his fingers in the air, and the sound of springs came from the well. Chiyang cursed when he saw this: "Where is the dragon trying to drill the well? I am not a toad..."

Cheng Sanwu stood at the mouth of the well and said with a calm smile: "If it is a real dragon, it can be obtained from the Nine Heavens and Rivers, and it can also be obtained from the Nine Nether Abyss. Why worry about the narrowness of the well and spring?"

Seeing Cheng Sanwu stepping into the well, Chiyang knew that the other party was trying to enlighten him, so he had no choice but to abandon his disgust and jump in as well.

The well is as deep as an abyss. If you jump into it and fall all the way, your feet have not touched the water for a long time. Instead, they are enveloped by a stream of fresh air, as if you are sinking to the bottom of the water. For a while, you can't reach the sky or the ground, and you are involved in the turbulent current.

Fortunately, the turbulent current only lasted a few breaths, and he landed on the ground again in the blink of an eye. The surroundings suddenly became clearer, and he saw a spiritual world outside the world. The mountains in the distance were rolling and lush, there were cranes soaring in the sky, and towers and houses were vaguely visible in the forest. It was full of spiritual cultivation. blessed land.

"What a great place. You can naturally cultivate Qi while breathing. It is indeed the first cave." Cheng Sanwu stretched out and turned to look at Chiyang, who was lying on his butt beside him: "Do you know the origin of this Qingxu Cave?"

Chi Yang stood up and scratched the red hair on his head: "I heard it is related to some Xuanyuan Huangdi."

"In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought and were at a disadvantage for a while." Cheng Sanwu looked into the distance: "In the past, humans, gods, immortals and demons lived in the world. The Yellow Emperor set up an altar to worship heaven and earth north of the river at the source of Jishui. Invite hundreds of gods and immortals to determine the order of the mountains and rivers to prevent Chiyou's disaster."

Chi Yang frowned: "Wait, why does this sound familiar? I heard that in ancient times, Chi You had horns on his head, could swallow gold and iron, and was particularly corrupt and ruthless. Could it be that he was also a member of the Taotie family?"

Cheng Sanwu had a strange look on his face: "Not everything has to do with gluttony. As for Chi You's description of appearance, corruption and immorality, they are just lies added by later generations of Confucian scholars to admonish kings. In the ancient world, mortals were ignorant and uninformed. Before it is established, how can we say that there is a way but not a way? Human beings are like animals, and naturally they are all greedy and cruel."

Chi Yang did not interrupt him this time to talk about the truth, and then asked: "Then what does this have to do with Qingxu Cave Heaven?"

"Because the Yellow Emperor's sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the gathering of hundreds of gods and immortals are not fictions of later generations, but are real things." Cheng Sanwu took a deep breath, his fingertips glowed, and he nodded lightly. The scene in front of him changed, and it turned out to be Recreate the grand occasion of hundreds of gods and immortals opening up the cave, and the immortals and gods in the sky and the earth are lined up like hemp.

"So many..." Chiyang changed her color slightly when she saw this. She had never experienced the ancient world and could not imagine the situation when humans and gods lived together.

"Don't be scared." Cheng Sanwu said with a smile: "Most of these immortals are not your opponents at all. They are just condensed pure energy. Of course, they can live as long as heaven and earth without eating or drinking. , but if we really look into it, they are just ghosts and spirits transformed by pure Qi."

Chiyang looked at the illusion in front of him. At the same time as the cave opened up, a ladder to heaven penetrated the sky. Hundreds of gods and immortals ascended step by step along the ladder and left the world.

"It is indeed a great effort to distinguish between man and heaven, to clarify the upper and lower, to clarify and suppress the turbidity, and to stabilize the order of mountains and rivers." The illusion transformed by the fingertips finally blended with the cave and sky scenery in front of him. Cheng Sanwu said with profound meaning: "It would be better to say that the human way in the world It was at this time that it sprouted, and the Qingxu Cave Heaven was formed by the gathering of all phenomena and changes in nature, and it was not deliberately done."

Chi Yang said: "If Huangdi Xuanyuan is really as powerful as you say, then the people in the world will really be inferior to each other." "The ancient saint kings opened up the way of humanity in the wilderness, but the prosperity of humanity does not depend on just one or two. A holy king can achieve it." Cheng Sanwu walked as he pleased, saying as he walked: "The reason why I plan to destroy Taiyi Order is to end this delusion in the world."

"But I heard before that many people regard Changqing as the current holy king." Chiyang was puzzled.

"The Holy King is to humanity like a crutch to ordinary people. It is useful when mobility is inconvenient, but in the end you have to rely on your own feet and spine to stand up straight." Cheng Sanwu touched his beard: "It would be better to say, when Everyone can be his own holy king and the master of his own body and mind, so naturally there is no such thing as a holy king."

"That's a lot of 'becoming the master of your own body and mind'! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was the master who came in person."

At this time, the voice of a mature woman came from the side, and they saw an auspicious beast that looked like a tiger stepping out of the dense forest. It had black spots and white background, with colorful lines on its butt and back, a long tail, shoulders and back slightly higher than ordinary people, and a noble and graceful demeanor.

"Zou Yu?" Cheng Sanwu recognized the auspicious beast in front of him at a glance, and said by the way: "I heard that Master is dead, so don't mistake him for the wrong person."

"I know, you are Cheng Sanwu." Zuoyu glanced at Chiyang, as if he was not interested, and then focused on Cheng Sanwu again: "As Master Wen expected, you have gathered all the Taiyi Order. He must be here for Taiyi Longchi."

"That's right." Cheng Sanwu asked calmly: "I wonder if you plan to lead the way yourself, or do you want to stop me from moving forward?"

"Neither of the two." Zuo Yu replied: "There is no road or gateway from Qingxu Cave Heaven to Taiyi Longchi. You could escape from it back then, but you may not be able to return to your old place."

Cheng Sanwu remained silent, and Zuo Yu turned around and left: "Qingxu Cave is a rare place, I hope you won't destroy it."

When Zuoyu returned to the forest, Chiyang cursed: "What I hate the most is this kind of auspicious beast, which knows how to look at people with its nostrils. If she dares to talk so shamelessly, I will have to skin her!"

Seeing Cheng Sanwu standing silently, Chi Yang asked, "Are you really frightened by her words?"

"No, I already know what to do." Cheng Sanwu didn't go anywhere else and sat down on the same spot: "You protect me."

Without saying a word, Chiyang transformed into a dragon tooth sword and carried it on his shoulder.

Cheng Sanwu sat cross-legged on the ground, with an air of returning to his roots and reviving his life, using the method of changing things against his luck, as if he had returned to his gluttonous appearance.

For a moment, I was in a trance, and it was hard to distinguish between things and myself. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the Taiyi Dragon Pond. The surrounding area is dark and silent, similar to a secret cave in the mountains. The ground is made of large pieces of sapphire, with large inscriptions engraved on the surface, winding and circling like a dragon, extending to the nine surrounding sapphire rock platforms.

Cheng Sanwu stood up holding the side of the well and looked around. The water in the pool was both clear and turbid. Looking at it attentively, he seemed to be able to see the past of countless living beings. If an ordinary person took a few more glances, he would probably fall into it headlong. Dissipate and disappear.

Taiyi Dragon Pond is where the dragon energy of the Nine Provinces gathers and does not appear in the world. In the past, Fu Shifeng sealed Taotie here, and then moved it along the earth's veins to various divine hubs and spiritual caves, attached to the blessed land of cave heaven, and circulated the energy of heaven and earth to sway the Taotie spirit.

However, this sealing method will cause the cave's air secrets to be lost every one or two hundred years, requiring the Taiyi Dragon Pond to be moved elsewhere. In the past thousand years, Fu Shifeng has been using the Taiyi Order to continuously move the sealing place.

Cheng Sanwu sighed inexplicably, this place was the place where he was born, and it was also the prison where he suffered so much torture, which made people sigh at the wonderful opportunities in the world.

Putting aside all the old grudges, Cheng Sanwu clasped his hands together and clasped his fingers towards his chest, as if they were inserted into his chest, but no blood flowed out.

Cheng Sanwu showed a painful expression, gritting his teeth to endure the pain that was more terrifying than peeling off skin and bones, and his hands and fingers seemed to be tearing out the internal organs from his body.

With a long and deep shout, Cheng Sanwu opened his hands, and nine balls of light flew out and landed on nine surrounding sapphire rock platforms, shining like flames on candlesticks.

After doing this, Cheng Sanwu's knees went weak and he almost collapsed and fell to the ground. His body was shaking and his face was covered with sweat.

Staggering, Cheng Sanwu reappeared in Qingxu Cave, looking embarrassed.

"How did you..." Chiyang was shocked when he saw this, and quickly helped him up. He accidentally touched his pulse gate, and his color suddenly changed: "How come your skill has regressed so much?"

Cheng Sanwu sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath. After a while, he finally regained his breath, but his face was still pale, as if he was seriously injured. Chi Yang had never seen him in such a situation. Even if he was injured by Liu Xuantong, he would not be so weak.

"I left the Nine Success Power in Taiyi Dragon Pond and took it completely as my own." Cheng Sanwu obtained the Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm to conserve his Qi and recovered slightly: "Only in this way can we achieve the last step."

Chiyang couldn't help complaining: "You are really looking more and more like Master Wen with the look of you wanting to die."

Cheng Sanwu raised his brows, glanced at her, didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head.

"I don't understand. Don't you want to restart the Great Desolate World? Just start at Taiyi Dragon Pond. Why do you need to separate your skills?" Chi Yang asked.

"The mood is wrong, and the place is wrong." Cheng Sanwu stood up with difficulty, holding his knees.

"Are you going to Heyang?" Chiyang said: "I remind you, there are patrols of imperial soldiers and horses everywhere now. As you are now, if you are discovered and attracted a large group of masters to besiege and pursue you, I may not be able to I can protect you."

"You are Lord Peng Zelong, how can you enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige like this?" Cheng Sanwu did not forget to joke.

Chiyang grimaced: "I am still one step away from becoming a real dragon. When you break the Kowloon ban, I can ascend to heaven and never be restrained again. Although I don't care, there is no need to go on a killing spree. Get yourself into more trouble.”

"It's best if you understand this." Cheng Sanwu said, "Don't worry, I won't go into a big fight. The next battle won't be a big battle."
