Chapter 220 The story of the Gao family: Tang Muzhi VS Lu Sheng
What is a vacuum?Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, said in the "Prajna Sutra: Prajna Sutra": "Thinking about emptiness, but not knowing the vacuum." According to Tang Muzhi's understanding, this "Vacuum Formless Mantra" is a bit too persistent in the theory of "emptiness", and even Denying cause and effect leads to "stubborn emptiness". This secret mantra causes the listener to completely stop the ability to perceive the inside and outside, but forget that everything is formed by the combination of causes and conditions and has no inherent nature, so it is called emptiness.

Tang Muzhi also thought of this "Valentine Livado", who was called "the number one in sitting meditation" in the Shurangama Sutra.He is the voice-hearing disciple of Buddha and a star in the sky.His parents were old and had no children and prayed for the stars, so they were named after the stars.The venerable was smart and wise since he was a child. Faced with the helplessness of life, old age, sickness and death, he often thought hard about the meaning of life.

One night, Lipado accidentally saw two evil spirits fighting for a corpse. As they pushed each other, the corpse was broken into pieces.This seeing and hearing shocked Livata. From then on, he believed that all objects in the world are temporarily combined together. Temporary combinations are illusions, and all substances in the world cannot exist for a long time.Therefore, people should not be greedy for temporary pleasure. Only pursuing the truth is the meaning of life.

After thoroughly thinking about it, Revado gave up the comfortable life and all the beautiful things in the world, became a monk and studied Buddhism with the Buddha Sakyamuni. The second half of "The Vacuum Formless Mantra" begins with "This is what I heard", which is the Buddha. words.

After becoming a monk, Lipado quickly showed his extraordinary understanding. Among many fellow disciples, Lipado was able to sit in meditation and fall into concentration without any confusion in his mind. He was praised by everyone as "the best in sitting meditation".

Tang Muzhi didn't know whether the time in the "vacuum" realm was consistent with the outside world. He could only seize the time. The vacuum could teach him not to feel his own body, but the innate nature of yin and yang Qi was revealed at this moment. With a thought in Tang Muzhi's mind, the vacuum Two huge pillars of light, one black and one white, suddenly rose up on both sides of the realm. They were hazy, with no source or direction visible. The yin and yang pillars of light were like the legendary dragon that has never seen its head or tail, with only one part exposed. With the small body, the vacuum realm is no longer empty, because the yin and yang energy is like a tight band in Tang Mu's mind, trapping the vacuum realm.These two giant dragon-like pillars are transformed into real Yin and Yang Qi, but they are magnified countless times through thoughts. If Tang Muzhi can release such a truly massive amount of Qi, he will not need to practice. He can release his true Qi during a fight. Blow people apart.

The vacuum is not empty, because it already has a "shape". The yin and yang qi transform into a ring to restrict the emptiness. The yin and yang qi surround this false space like a corona, and outside this halo is the real world. The tangible world.Vacuum has no concept of time and space, but false space does. So how big is this "false space" limited by yin and yang qi?In fact, it doesn't matter how big or small it is, because when Tang Muzhi wants to retract the yin and yang Qi, his consciousness can already perceive what is happening in the outside world. The "false void" is just like the spell attacks that have been coming towards Tang Muzhi's body one after another in recent years. The defense of Yin and Yang Qi was down, but Tang Muzhi did not go too far to destroy the entire realm of false space, because he rarely realized that if he did not rely on Yin and Yang Qi to break the vacuum with pure thoughts, he might lose control of the entire realm of refining Qi. The understanding of the nature of the system has reached a higher level.

In the past, Tang Muzhi would not have cared about this, but since he wanted to go against nature and try to reverse the innate superpowers into acquired superpowers, he must have a deeper understanding of the nature of Qi refining.After two years of exploration, Tang Muzhi discovered that in order to master this understanding, he had to reach the pinnacle of martial arts training - for example, Fang Quan, although he was a doctor, his understanding of the theory of innateness had reached the pinnacle, but due to the Due to his own strength, he can never pierce that layer of window paper.

And Fang Quanzeng said that if there is anyone who can do something against the innate, it will definitely be Tang Muzhi, not even the old Celestial Master - because he has been practicing medicine to save people for decades, and has worked with various sects, including the Celestial Master's Mansion. Having formed a good relationship, he already had some speculation in his mind about the inheritance of Tianshidu. He once said that Tianshi would never do this, or could not do it.

……

He thought too far... After Tang Muzhi was imprisoned in the vacuum, his internal and external perceptions had returned. Only then did he realize that he was actually sitting in the sinkhole with his five hearts facing the sky, exactly where he was standing before hearing the incantation. .

Bathed in the moonlight, Tang Muzhi opened his eyes, only to find a drop of clear tears flowing down his cheeks, which hit his clothes with a "pop" sound.People never shed tears for no reason, but this time Tang Muzhi didn't know why he was crying?Is that the fear you felt when you just escaped into the vacuum?Tang Muzhi considers himself quite courageous, but I'm afraid this kind of experience is not enough.He reached out and touched his facial features, and found that the disguise technique was no longer effective - after all, he was not practicing the kind of disguise that used makeup and medicine. Without Qi to maintain it, his true colors would soon be revealed.

Fortunately, no one woke up. As soon as the "Vacuum Phaseless Curse" came out, in addition to the omnipotent demon, all other members of the Gao family and decent people who came to hold him accountable were succumbed to the curse, including He Yuan, Jiang Zhuangzi and others who were familiar to Tang Muzhi. , and the transformed demon Xuan Cheng, all sitting in the same posture as him at the moment, sitting cross-legged on the ground, some with tears welling up in their tightly closed eyes.The Gaojia Tiankeng seems to be a fairy temple. Dozens of people are sitting here, as if they are comprehending the heaven and the earth. The scene is very spectacular, and it makes people feel peaceful when viewed from a distance.

The only ones who violated the rules should be Quan Xing, Gao Gen, Gao Hong, Gao Shi, and Gao Weixian. Quan Xing's realization was blocked by a magic weapon and he didn't hear the secret incantation. Gao Weixian should have come after he finished reciting the incantation, but Gao Gen How did the three of them break through the vacuum realm so quickly?There must be certain skills, unless these three people have seen that the five aggregates are empty, or have cut off ignorance and achieved Arahant status?This is obviously impossible!Although Tang Muzhi had never seen anyone who truly saw the emptiness of all five aggregates, he still felt that Gao Gen and the others had not reached the realm. At least when they were walking or sitting, they did not exude a sense of wisdom that made the air, time and space condense.

However, Tang Muzhi could not think too much at this moment, because Lu Sheng had already broken through Gao Hong's resistance and was heading towards Tang Muzhi!He was wearing the dark purple cassock taken out of the Gao family forbidden area, and in his right hand was holding the short knife that took the life of Master Gao Huo. The short knife had a strange shape, the handle was twice as long as the blade, and it exuded flesh pink The true energy is gentle yet chilling!The blade drew a beautiful arc under the moon, and the mist and even the moonlight in the sinkhole seemed to be directly split away.

At this moment, Tang Muzhi, who had been meditating with his head down in Lu Sheng's eyes, suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes!Then he felt a pain in his forehead and flew out in mid-air!

"Tang Muzhi..."

Tang Muzhi just broke away from his cross-sitting posture and kicked Lu Sheng away. The strength in his spine could not be used, and his power was natural. Lu Sheng lowered his waist and pressed down on the ground and flipped around in the air to stabilize his body. His eyes were always calm. Finally, a different kind of light flashed through: "You were able to break the vacuum so quickly... This time is really surprising."

Gao Hong, Gao Gen, Gao Shi and Gao Weixian were still involved in the whole group. At this moment, they noticed that Tang Muzhi had woken up from the sky, and they were all overjoyed. Gao Weixian said in disbelief: "That Lu Sheng called him Tang Muzhi! Could it be Tang Muzhi?" Sect leader Yang Lie’s only personal successor? Let’s hold on, the situation has not reached the point of despair.”

Gao Shituo's power has not been rested yet, Gao Weixian is surrounded by three corpses and cannot be used. On the other hand, Quan Xing's side is basically ruthless characters this time. In the current situation, even if Gao Gen and Gao Hong are extremely capable, they will run out sooner or later. With physical strength, Gao Hong, as the clan leader, didn't even dare to think about what would happen when the time came. He could only shout: "Hero of the Tang Clan, I hope you can help me this time! Consider it my Gao family's business, and the price will be paid when the time comes. You can drive it as you wish!”

Tang Muzhi stared at Lu Sheng intently, raised his fists above his head, and said loudly: "This junior businessman has taken over! Lu Sheng, I have something unclear."

Lu Sheng said indifferently: "What?" "Why are you so familiar with the Gao family's underground palace and underground cave routes? You have been here before, right?"

Lu Sheng frowned and nodded, "Yes, in the middle of this month, I followed Patriarch Gao and walked through this place. Finally, I watched him place the second half of "The Vacuum Phaseless Curse" in the cave where Monk Wuju sat. among them.”

At this time, Gao Hong, who was facing the enemy at the side, looked very ugly. He spoke with difficulty, "How is that possible?! Has he followed me?"

Gao Weixian explained: "This demon's methods are very strange, and it is impossible to detect even a trace. The third child was killed by his sneak attack like this."

After saying this, Gao Weixian was quickly blocked by several Quanxing fists. There was no time left for them to exchange information.

"Oh, did the Gao family only have half of the secret curse? You just got the secret curse, but you knew its usage and power, and used it to set a trap. Did you release the second half of the secret curse?" Tang Mu's way.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. You are a decent disciple after all. You can't rush into the Gao family's forbidden area without any reason. You came here to find someone!"

Tang Muzhi: "She is a witch, and her skills are almost lost. She is the official of the 'Great Zhu' in ancient times, also called Zhu Guan... Her name is Xiong Feiyan!"

Lu Sheng smiled, "Oh, I don't know her name. Your department is pretty good at keeping confidentiality. She didn't bring any ID... I remembered, it was the first time you met Yuan Tao and I in the underground palace. Place, go south to a secret room, and you will see her body.”

Tang Muzhi figured out his thoughts, and Xiong Feiyan ran to investigate the Gao family. The cause was a foreign-related accident related to the Gao family.A Southeast Asian cargo ship carrying a large amount of antiques was detained by Gao Lian, the person in charge of the Northeast, on the name of being involved in harboring international criminal capabilities when it was sailing to Dalian Bay in Bincheng. I applied for it through the upper management - if I were to find fault, it would be that the noise was a little too big. The owner of that cargo ship was very powerful in the Asian shipping industry, and it was not easy to impound his ship.

Later, Gao Lian handed over two "spies" involved in the matter, as well as several citizens who were reselling cultural relics.The two people were quickly transferred to the technical investigation room of the Ministry of Health. The two foreigners had taken a large amount of neurological drugs that were only seen in the circle of foreign ability users, causing memory confusion. Not much could be found on them, but this This incident aroused Lin Zhici's suspicion. After all, the Gao family was the focus of his attention, so he sent Xiong Feiyan to investigate.

The reason why Gao Lian intercepted the ship was probably because Lu Sheng arranged for them to discover half of the "Vacuum Phaseless Curse". The truth is unknown. It may be that Gao Lian used the crime of reselling cultural relics to get "The Curse of the Vacuum". "Vacuum Phaseless Curse" is hiding something secret, or it could be more serious... There is the entire Gao family behind Gao Lian, and it is extremely easy to tamper with such a trivial matter in their territory.

Xiong Feiyan went to the Gao family to investigate, and probably found some clues with the help of witchcraft. However, there was no conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, so she could only continue to investigate. If she couldn't do it openly, she chose to do it covertly. In the end, she was lurked in the Gao family. Lu Sheng, who had been there for many days, discovered and killed him!
Lu Sheng then followed Gao Hong with the help of the Liuku Immortal Thief and found the place where the "Vacuum Phaseless Curse" was stored. However, he was unable to take out the secret curse due to the Wuju Kasaya, so he chose to cooperate with Yuan Tao and others.

Tang Muzhi didn't know much about Wuju Kasaya, but he had already deduced a rough idea and confirmed Xiong Feiyan's death. He looked at Lu Sheng expressionlessly and said word by word: "Now we can only fight to the death. "

Lu Sheng: "Tang Muzhi, it has been more than seven years since we parted ways in the Lu family. I have wanted to see you several times, but unfortunately we don't have this fate - come on, I also want to know how far there is between you and me. "

Tang Muzhi stopped talking, and the Yin Yang Qi barrier rose.Lu Sheng made a preemptive strike. He put away his dagger and jumped in front of Tang Muzhi. Strong corrosive pink energy emerged from his body, as wild as a flying blade. He stretched out his hand and aimed at Tang Muzhi's throat. Lock it here!He couldn't see the yin-yang energy shield, and even his transcendent perception ability couldn't directly detect it. The pink energy in his palms jumped and clasped on Tang Muzhi's neck - of course it was bounced away at the moment of contact!

Lu Sheng felt as if his hands were being electrocuted the moment they came into contact with Tang Muzhi's body. Fortunately, he had a solid foundation and his center of gravity did not waver. He reacted quickly. He stepped on the ground and unleashed Ruyi Jin to fight out from the ground and summoned the three corpses at the same time.

Tang Mu's right hand has already wrapped around him!He clasped his left wrist with one hand, and then pulled back a few steps while yanking inward to avoid the Ruyi Jin from the ground. When Ruyi Jin rushed out from the ground and turned into a beam of light, Tang Muzhi's left leg shot Remembering the heavy knee, he broke through the defenses of the three corpses and hit Lu Sheng's right elbow!

Lu Sheng frowned and felt pain in his right elbow. The middle corpse buffered the attack. The lower corpse rushed forward and blurred Tang Muzhi's vision. Then the upper corpse of the bat rushed forward and sent Tang Muzhi flying away.Before he could take a breath, Lu Sheng discovered the hidden thread wrapping around his neck through the gap between the three corpses!
