Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

There are four continents in this world: southeast, southeast, and northwest, separated by the endless sea.

Each continent has a vast land area, which is larger than all the land areas of Blue Star combined.

Most monks can only travel within one state in their lives. If they want to cross states, they must either pass through the cross-state magic circle of the top sect or forcefully cross the endless sea.

The Endless Sea is surrounded by dangers. Its central area is simply another forbidden land. Without the Netherworld Realm, don’t even think about it. Even the Netherworld Realm is reluctant to do so. No one dares to try it. Only the Dongxuan Realm can say that. I'm somewhat certain.

None of the three people expected that through Heaven, they would cross the continent, from Nanzhou to Dongzhou all at once.

Through Chen Yulou's explanation, this ancient sacred forest is a famous forbidden land in Dongzhou. The virgin forest area is extremely large. It is said that it is an ancient battlefield in the ancient times. There are a large number of remaining killing formations inside. When monks enter, they are often... He was inexplicably killed by a large formation.

As time passed, few monks dared to enter and seek fortune. As time went by, some killing formations had gaps in them as time passed. Local animals strayed into them, gained fortune, and cultivated into monsters.

After generations of accumulation, the number of monsters gradually increased, and it became a kingdom of monsters, once again adding another crisis to this wild forest.

As the three people came out of Heaven, there was speculation that this place was most likely a battlefield when Heaven fell.

The immortal battlefield is naturally filled with murderous intent. If you enter easily, you can tell from Chen Yulou's performance in the heaven that he has no power to fight back.

As for the local monsters, after generations of life-long exploration, they have basically mastered the distribution points of the large formations and fierce areas.

Surviving in the cracks has continued from generation to generation, and today, even the great demons of the Dongxuan Realm have appeared.

Chen Yulou guessed that the Nantianmen fragment should be located deep in the ancient sacred forest, so as soon as they came out, they would encounter the great demon of the Dongxuan Realm.

As long as they are more careful in the future, there should be no serious problems.

Jiang You and Feng Bujing heard this and felt a little relieved. After all, Chen Yulou had traveled all over the four continents and was well-informed, so his judgment should be correct.

However, as the three of them moved forward, their expressions became increasingly strange.

Ever since they teleported here, the surroundings have been quiet. Not only have they not encountered any monsters, they have not even seen an ordinary animal.

In a primitive forest, if you encounter this kind of situation, any fool will know that there is something wrong.

Chen Yulou also didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face so quickly as soon as he said the words.

"Did we accidentally teleport into a dangerous place?"

Chen Yulou once again drew the teleportation circle and was about to take them away.

But after the magic circle flashed, the three of them found that they were still in the same place.

The three people tried it in different locations, but the result was the same.

"Okay, no need to try again, the answer is already clear. We have indeed entered a dangerous place. Since it can be called a dangerous place, it is naturally not so easy to get out."

Jiang You stopped Chen Yulou from painting again.

"Senior, I had some insights during the endgame of the Changsheng Palace. Perhaps using the immortal patterns to engrave it can help us get out!"

"Old Chen, are you reliable? I have just realized this. You must be able to use the teleportation circle. Don't be strangled as soon as you teleport!"

After Feng Bujing came out of Chen Yulou's body, he called Chen Yulou "Lao Chentou". After hearing Chen Yulou's words, he spoke frankly.

"You brat, no matter how stupid I am, I can't possibly mistake the killing formation pattern for the teleportation formation pattern. Shut up!"

After Chen Yulou scolded Feng Bujing, he waited for Jiang You's decision.

"In this case, it is better to leave it as the last resort to escape. Let's explore this place now and then make a decision."

In fact, Jiang You also feels that Chen Yulou is a bit unreliable. His Feng Shui formation method is indeed unique in the world, but he has just come into contact with the immortal patterns. Without in-depth study and trial, he just wants to try the method himself. This is too abrupt. .

Now that he has been in contact with Chen Yulou, he has also discovered that in other fields, Chen Yulou works extremely safely and thoughtfully.

But in the formation that he is most proud of, there is a self-righteous arrogance.

Jiang You didn't dare to use the immortal formation that he knew was harmless, so he used a delaying strategy to let Hanhu pass first.

When Chen Yulou saw Jiang You's words, he had no choice but to obey.

Chen Yulou had no choice but to carve out several defensive and aura-concealing formations around him.

The superposition of formations is extremely complex, which is the two simplest entry-level formations, and must not be performed by a master of formations.

But in the hands of the great master Chen Yulou, it was extremely easy, and powerful advanced formations were embedded four or five times in a row.

Jiang You and Feng Bujing also took the opportunity to observe in detail.

"Senior, please choose a direction!" Chen Yulou said after arranging the formation.

"When you are in a dangerous place, there is nothing wrong with you, so move forward!"

Jiang You used "Kun Xiangci of Zhouyi" to respond.

After spending a long time with Chen Yulou and Jiang You, Feng Bujing discovered that Jiang You would often say something. At first glance, the truth seemed simple and easy to understand, but after careful consideration, it had a long aftertaste. At critical moments, he could always Words that work wonders.

Chapter 41 of the "Tao Te Ching" says: "When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a middle man hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a lowly man hears the Tao, he laughs. Not laughing is not enough to practice the Tao."

Regarding the classics he had seen before, Jiang You was in a state of sergeant, as if he was alive or dead.

First, it is because they are skeptical about the existence of Tao. They are neither convinced that it exists nor dare to deny it easily.

The second reason is that he does not understand it well enough.

Wang Yangming said that knowing and doing are one. If you know but cannot do it, it means you don’t know.

If you really know it, you can definitely do it.

Jiang You had been in a vague stage before. I know that he has really understood a few truths, really accomplished a few things, and finally became what I call a sergeant, integrating Tao into his behavior. .

This can also show the achievements of Jiang You's cultivation.

As for Chen Yulou and Feng Bujing, they had never heard of Taoism before, and they suddenly heard about "The Book of Changes" for the first time from Jiang You's mouth. Although they were not at the level of corporal with their own understanding, they were still looking at flowers in the fog, and they were finally separated. layer.

That is the stage where you are not aware of it but become serious. Now you just keep it in your mind silently and save it for the future to slowly figure it out.

In fact, this is also due to the image of Jiang Youxian being too firm.

At that time, Daoying's words of "The Heavenly Lord has returned to his throne" were echoed by the sound of thunder from the nine heavens, and the sword of victory over evil struck the heaven and earth to open up the tribulation.

It left an indelible mark in the hearts of the two of them, and now even if Jiang You speaks nonsense, the two of them will regard it as their example.

For another person, it might not have this effect.

The three of them walked straight forward, and soon saw a row of mountains reaching the sky in front of them.

The great mountains are majestic and heavy, and their whole body is black, as black as ink. Even the infinite ancient trees cannot cover it up. There are more than a dozen great mountains standing side by side, creating a majestic atmosphere.

It gave people a strong sense of oppression. Seeing them, the three of them seemed to see the complete Nantianmen phantom again.

"This is a place of disaster!"

Chen Yulou shouted out after seeing it.

"A place of disaster?" Feng Bujing asked.

"The forbidden areas in the ancient sacred forest are divided into three types: fierce, absolute, and disaster.

The ominous place is the bloody place, which was the battlefield back then and has residual murderous intent.

The Jedi is a large formation, usually integrated into the surrounding environment, and extremely difficult to detect. In many cases, when you notice it, you will die!

The land of evil is like this, with a large area turned black. It is the most difficult to figure out and is extremely evil. If a monk enters, strange deaths may occur.

Sometimes it was disinfected on the spot without any warning or reason, sometimes it disintegrated on its own and turned into a ball of blood mist, and sometimes it was normal and allowed the monks to pass by and leave. "

Chen Yulou added, "And I suspect that the formation of the bad land is where the immortal's resentment remains after death!"

"You don't even know what you're going to encounter?" Feng Bu was shocked.

However, he did not have too much fear. After all, the three of them had just come out of the heaven, and there was a resurrected immortal beside them. If there was a crisis, Senior Jiang You would just use whatever sword he could.

Directly wipe out this bad land from the world.

Although Chen Yulou was surprised, his expression showed no panic. Perhaps he had the same thoughts as Feng Bujing.

Only Jiang You, who had high hopes from them, trembled in his heart. He knew clearly what kind of virtue he had in overcoming evil.

Let yourself strike out with that sword? If he could really use that sword, he would probably have killed the big demon of the Dongxuan Realm before. How could he let it show off its power in front of him?

When the three of them approached the black Dayue, they felt a strange aura, as if they were in a cemetery, which made people feel chilled all over.

But Jiang You sensed that the aura of this place was so like the gray world?

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

When the three of them heard the cry, they immediately looked towards the magic circle arranged by Chen Yulou. They were relieved when they saw that the magic circle was intact and there was no sign of being attacked.

At this time, in the deep grass beside me.

"Sizzle!"

A skinny black snake, seven or eight meters thick, like a dragon, crawled out slowly.

None of the three people noticed the big snake until they got closer and it crawled out on its own.

Feng Bujing was about to take action immediately, but was immediately stopped by Chen Yulou.

"Look clearly, this thing is a shadow!"

Only then did Feng Bujing see that the big snake only had the front half, and the back part was transformed into a shadow, as if it had been cut into two parts.

As expected, the big snake did not attack the three people, but instead snaked its way into the distant mountains and disappeared.

The three of them walked again and saw a dry old tree in front of them, which five or six people could not hug, growing on the edge of the mountain.

There is a terrifying bird's nest on the tree, which is actually built with dead bones. It can be as high as half a person.

"Damn it, what kind of bird is this?" Feng Bu cursed, feeling the coldness on his body getting worse.

Beside the bird's nest made of human bones, stood a monstrous strange bird with a crow-like black body, a human face, but also a beak, and a black hook like a knife.

It can be more than one meter long, as black as ink, and the yin energy on its body is very heavy, as if it has a dead head, making the whole dead ancient tree feel cold.

The bird seemed to have seen through Chen Yulou's concealment formation, and looked over with a pair of turbid and white eyes.

"This place is really evil!" Chen Yulou couldn't help but trembled: "I have seen it in ancient books. This is an ancient bird that is almost invisible in modern times. It is called the dead soul crow. It will not attack strangers. , specializes in eating the bones of strong men, and legend has it that anyone who has been howled by it will not live long."

"Quack! quack! quack!"

After King Chen Yulou said this, the bird crowed, spread its wings, and flew away with a flutter. A human skull that had just been eaten half-eaten fell from the mouth, looking a bit ferocious.

"Let me tell you, Old Chen, what you just said is indeed a legend. It's not credible!" Feng Bujing muttered in a low voice.

"It's a legend~ I understand it, so naturally it's not trustworthy, right senior!"

"Don't ask me. Once I leave Heaven, I won't be able to use many of my methods. Otherwise, I would have taken you out long ago!"

When the two of them heard Jiang You's explanation, their faces suddenly stiffened.

"Let's go in and take a look. Something will happen soon. It all depends on your formation skills." Jiang You said.

The group of people finally stepped into the mountain. The moment they stepped in, they felt a chill all over their bodies. This was a feeling that went from the soul to the body, and then down the back to the soles of the feet.

"Can't fly!" Chen Yulou was the first to notice the abnormality and sensed a forbidden air force.

The wind was strong, Jiang You suddenly took action, and the Shengxie Sword flew out. The sword energy swept across the world and chopped up endless grass, trees and rocks. A low roar was heard in the distance, which made people's souls tremble.

Feng Bujing and Chen Yulou were shocked. A humanoid creature with long black hair all over its body, which made people feel scared, flashed and disappeared in the depths of the black mountain.

"What kind of creature is that?" Feng Bujing frowned.

Ever since Jiang You stepped into the mountain, Changsheng Qi had sensed a malicious intent and kept getting closer. After finally locking onto it, he took action decisively. Unexpectedly, after the opponent took his sword, he did not fight back, but retreated. Stay away.

Shengxie's sword flew back, and Jiang You touched the sword's body, thinking that maybe it was because Shengxie's sword had been contaminated by Tianzun Daoying's aura.

Just this breath scares the other party away?

But why can't I feel it at all?

Before Jiang You could think about it, Feng Bujing unintentionally took a step back because of the incident just now.

"Crack!"

Thunder and lightning suddenly fell from the clear sky.

The thunder and lightning turned the whole body black, and its power was almost as powerful as the black thunder in the catastrophe at that time.

Of the three people present, only Chen Yulou might have a chance to block it. Feng Bujing had to block it by himself. If he didn't die, he would be seriously injured!

Shengxie immediately flew out and blocked the black thunder in the air.

"boom!"

All the power of the thunder was released on Victory Evil, and with the strength of Victory Evil, he was still unscathed.

"No, there's a big formation here! Don't move rashly!"

Chen Yulou immediately shouted, and the three of them immediately did not dare to move. Chen Yulou's eyes glowed green and he looked carefully at his feet.

"There are ancient formation patterns here, but fortunately there are no immortal patterns. They were probably not carved by immortals, but were written by descendants..." Chen Yulou's eyes flashed with excitement.

The Immortal Formation is too mysterious and profound for him, but as long as it is not an Immortal Formation, he, Chen Yulou, has never been weaker than anyone else.

Although it was an ancient formation, Chen Yulou still felt a sense of joy at seeing him. Being able to hide it from him at first glance meant that this person's formation skills were definitely not weak. He wanted to see if he could break it. Can't be broken!

Jiang You and Feng Bujing both knew that Chen Yulou was an expert, so they asked him to take a closer look.

"Feng Bujing, step forward three meters to the left!"

Chen Yulou spoke directly and gave orders. Feng Bujing didn't talk nonsense at this time and acted as he was told.

Unexpectedly, with this step, another thunder struck from the air.

Shengxie flew out and blocked this thunder.

"I said, Old Chen, can you do it?" Feng Bujing couldn't help complaining.

"Haha, don't worry, I just verified what I was thinking, and it turned out to be just as I thought. Although this person's formation skills are good, they are weaker than mine. This time, I am absolutely sure that with my formation skills, in It’s like being in a deserted place!”

After Chen Yulou laughed, his confidence doubled, "Follow me!"

"Crack!"

He walked forward first, but as soon as he took two steps, two thunderbolts fell in succession.

Sheng Xie only blocked one, and the other directly broke the outer magic circle and hit Chen Yulou so fast that he didn't even have time to use any countermeasures.

He screamed and stumbled to the ground, covered in black smoke. Originally, his body was condensed by the soul. Not everyone can use the power of the soul to condense the physical body.

At this time, his vitality was severely injured.

"Are you okay?" Jiang You asked, feeling that Chen Yulou's weaknesses were too obvious. He was always so confident in the way of formations, even to the point of being arrogant.

"I'm fine!" A white jade bottle flew out of Chen Yulou's body. After opening it, Jiang You immediately felt a fairy spirit.

"Immortal liquid! Old Chentou, okay, you actually got such a blessing in the Changsheng Palace!"

Chen Yulou looked pained and just poured a drop into his mouth. Immediately, the burnt blackness on his body slowly faded away. He also got up from the ground and glared at Feng Bujing, "I got it in the Changsheng Palace. You didn't. It was you." I don’t have this celestial destiny!”

After saying that, he hugged Jiang You and said, "Senior, I."

"No need to say more, why do you need to explain your creation to others!"

Chen Yulou then gave up. He felt that being with Jiang You really felt like getting along with a righteous person. There was no dispute at all because of fate or interests.

Chen Yulou has seen too many people plotting against each other, turning against each other, and fighting each other because of their own interests.

This matter has nothing to do with the level of cultivation or the amount of resources. After all, no one will be troubled by too many resources.

Even if there are people who don't take action, it's just because the benefits are not big enough.

But Jiang You didn't care at all about their fate. This indifferent attitude was definitely not just pretentious.

If it was really a disguise, Chen Yulou asked himself, he would still be able to tell.

As he got along with Jiang You, he slowly let go of his guard and began to imitate Jiang You, consciously or unconsciously.

He exposed his true colors, so he had several embarrassing situations, which were all the results of his return to his innocent heart.

There are no classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism handed down from generation to generation in this world. Therefore, people in this world have extremely insufficient cultivation of Taoism. There is not even a consensus. Those with high understanding can realize it on their own and take care of themselves. At most, they can only restrain their disciples and lead the world. Internally, it doesn’t have much effect.

As Chen Yulou and Feng Bujing got along with Jiang You, they were influenced by him and began to move towards the avenue.

Jiang You was naturally aware of the so-called teachings by words and deeds. At first, the two people were intrigues and wary of each other's schemes.

But since the two of them traveled to heaven, I wonder if it is because they have seen that immortals will die. While their horizons have broadened, their minds have also become broader and more open-minded, and both of them have undergone some profound changes.

Jiang You is actually happy to see it happen, but he can't speak about this kind of thing. Once he does, it will be wrong and hypocritical.

He, Jiang You, is not in the state of teaching Taoism to others, and he will also be contaminated with cause and effect, which is not what a wise man would do.

When Chen Yulou saw that there was nothing unusual about Jiang You, he continued to study the large formation on the ground, and kept muttering: "That's wrong. What went wrong? Let me think about it carefully."

After careful study, he looked suspicious, and then he felt relieved and said: "It turns out there were slight changes. I know what went wrong. This time there will definitely be no problem."

He took the lead and walked forward. There was no problem at first, but when he took the thirteenth step, another thick thunderbolt fell from a height of ten thousand feet.

But this time, Chen Yulou was on guard, and two chess pieces, one black and one white, flew out from between his eyebrows. The chess pieces flew into the air and turned into yin and yang, immediately blocking the thunder.

"Chen Yulou has gained a lot in the Changsheng Palace!"

Chen Yulou suffered repeated setbacks at this time, and he also looked angry. Jiang You and Feng Bu were stunned and wanted to find a safe way out for them.

Then kept moving forward.

"Boom!", "Crack!"

Almost every dozen steps he took, he would trigger the formation and be struck by lightning repeatedly, but they were all blocked by the black and white chess pieces. He did not know how many times he struck before he finally reached the end of the mountain path.

"Senior, I have broken out of the formation, just follow my marks and move forward!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several fingerprints suddenly appeared on the ground.

Feng Bujing joked: "Old Chen, you are going forward with all your strength. You still have the nerve to say that you broke out of the formation. You still boast about the formation method. What are you doing under the immortals?" Feng, I think if I just walk around casually, if I’m lucky, I’ll get a few less thunders than you!”

Chen Yulou was furious when he heard this, "You idiot, you don't understand anything, you are barking here! You can go wherever you want and let me take a look, I'm afraid a sea of ​​thunder will fall immediately. From now on, I will be struck by a single thunderstorm." , who comes and can do better than me?"

Feng Bujing thought about it and realized that it was indeed as Chen Yulou said. He stopped challenging and followed Jiang You honestly to the place he marked.

Sure enough, the journey went smoothly, and not a single thunderbolt fell.

Chen Yulou was able to find a way out of the formation so quickly. He was not called the Grand Master of the formation for nothing.

But he still had a look of resentment on his face, mainly because Feng Bujing's taunting had an effect.

Without him, it’s to the point.

He, Feng Bujing, and the people who set up the formation here competed against each other over the years, and he was indeed the loser!

He, Feng Bujing, was the only one in the world, and it was only in his time that he was never the first person among the immortals in ancient and modern times.

He could win the first place in the world's formation back then, but now, that's not necessarily the case.

So when he finished saying that no one in the world could do it better than him, he suddenly reacted.

This is no longer the era he was in back then. Maybe there are really underachievers who can go further than him?

I felt lonely for a while!

"Chen Yulou, be prepared with the immortal pattern formation you learned from the chess game at any time. I think this place is too weird. We may really have to rely on your formation to escape!"

After Jiang finished speaking, Chen Yulou immediately reacted, "Yes, I just learned something from the Immortal Chess Game, and there are also the handwriting of Nantianmen. There are great mysteries in it. When I absorb all these insights, then... "

When Chen Yulou was sighing in his heart just now, a feeling of twilight suddenly arose in his body.

Jiang You took a look and knew that this was a roadblock created after Chen Yulou made progress in exploring his own path during this period.

The practice of Taoist mind is like climbing a mountain. Standing still is the safest, but it is also the lowest point. Climbing all the way up has the risk of falling, but it is indeed a step-by-step improvement.

After Chen Yulou's Taoist heart was shaken just now, the problem was, in a small way, a moment of loneliness; in a big way, he had lost his spirit, his twilight energy had invaded his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive the second life.

But when Jiang You woke him up in time, all his twilight energy disappeared immediately.

Chen Yulou realized it later and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This was the first time he had encountered this feeling after practicing for so long. What was going on? How could it be so dangerous?

"Senior, I just..." Feng Bujing was awakened by Jiang You's words. He knew that Jiang You must know what happened to him just now, so he wanted to ask.

But Jiang You shook his head to stop him.

Jiang You walked forward as usual, and when he passed by him, he uttered a passage from the "Book of Changes".

"Knowing the ultimate can be compared to a few words; knowing the end to the end can be compared to preserving meaning. This is why when you live in a high position, you are not arrogant, and when you are in a low position, you are not worried. Therefore, Qian Qian is alert because of the time. Although there is danger, there is no fault. "(End of chapter)
