Ten states

In the blink of an eye, it has been five days since the turmoil passed, and Xiao Xia's head still hurts.

The turmoil subsided quickly and was very quiet. Although in terms of depth and breadth, Dagan Shizhou has not had such a major turmoil in the world for some years. Several forces in the world are involved in it, and they are all affected by each other. There was a lot of concussion, and some of them could even be said to hurt muscles and bones.

The city of Hongjing County was razed to the ground, hundreds of people were killed or injured, and a small village about [-] miles away from Hongjing City was devastated. Clear and audible.But under such a big commotion, no one knows exactly what happened there at that time and the reason. Among the rumors circulating in the rivers and lakes, the most is that the real Fumo and the shadow guard taught by Tianshi were killed because of a certain accident. This kind of misunderstanding led to a conflict, and then there was a big fight and the like.The various forces involved in this turmoil, out of a tacit understanding that each other understands, did not spread and expand the aftermath of this shock, and tried their best to silently restrain their forces behind the scenes, and at most they converged in the form of undercurrents. Just flow it.

For Xiao Xia, this is of course the best thing, otherwise his head will hurt at least ten times more.In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Taishang Zhengyi Mi Luo Wan You True Talisman is still slowly changing in a mysterious and unpredictable way, and it seems that it is not moving at all. Naturally, there was no sense of separation as if he had been with him for decades.But until this time, Xiao Xia still couldn't figure out what this strange treasure said to be condensed with the Dao of Heaven and Earth was, and whether it could be taken out.

But he couldn't figure it out, but someone came to help him figure it out, at least they really wanted to help him figure it out.

"Hey, boy, are you awake? Come quickly when you wake up. Today, master, I thought of a few new ways to try!"

Just after waking up, and still lying on the bed in a daze, Xiao Xia heard hurried footsteps outside.Then the door was pushed open with a smack, and the old Taoist Xiyi strode in confidently.Xiao Xia suddenly felt her head hurt even more.

After using the heavenly lock demon talisman to suppress Zhang Tianshi that day.The Universal True Talisman in the Sea of ​​Consciousness was completely blurred at once, and completely changed back to what he had seen in the boundless sea of ​​consciousness before. It seemed to be far away in the sky and completely unfathomable, and at the same time, he felt that all his spirit had been emptied I felt dizzy as if I hadn't slept for ten days and nights.He lay on the bed for two full days before recovering.But the main reason that caused him to continue the headache until now was the constant experimentation and fiddling by the old Taoist Xiyi these days.I haven't seen the master for several years. Of course Xiao Xia was surprised and happy at first sight, but he couldn't be happy right away.While he was still worrying about this big trouble that fell into his hands inexplicably and would definitely bring countless troubles, the old Taoist Xiyi was as happy as if he had suddenly acquired a rare toy, and he wished he could use that toy. Take the Omnipotent True Talisman out of Xiaoxia's body for fun.

"Boy, don't make a bad face all day long. Didn't you see that celestial master boy in the Zhang family wanted this thing like crazy? He also said that it was made by the manifestation of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Such a miraculous baby is It falls into your hands like this, but you seem to have been forced into your mouth by someone else, it is a waste of this great opportunity."

"I'd rather not have such a chance." Xiao Xia rubbed her head and stood up, saying helplessly.

"Bah, what a worthless brat!" Old Daoist Xiyi said, "Bah. "Since it's a chance, then it's up to you, why would you rather not? Well, let's just pretend that you've been stuffed with shit. Now that stuff is stuffed, you can't spit it out anymore. , then what's the use of you still moaning and complaining about this and that? Why don't you take a good look at this rare taste, do you think that everyone has such luck to be stuffed with shit? Or is it like this The unique piece of dog shit in the world, I don’t know how many people, such as the celestial master of the Zhang family, would like to have a bite of this dog shit, but it’s still impossible.”…

"..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. Come out with me, I invited Lao Xu to try this talisman today."

Follow Xiyi old way out of the warehouse.When I came to the deck, I was facing the breeze from the river blowing head-on.Basking in the early morning sun, looking at the wide river surface and the sight of cows and horses on both sides of the river in the distance, Xiao Xia felt relieved inexplicably, and finally felt that her headache didn't seem to hurt so much.

They are now heading east along the Longjiang River in a big boat.

After resting in Jingbei for two days, the old Taoist Xiyi dragged the drowsy Xiao Xia together with Xu Zhengzhou to find a cargo ship owned by the Diancang faction and left Jingzhou by boat.The Longjiang River is the largest river in the world. It originates from several glaciers on the Western Sichuan Plateau, and then joins several other tributaries along the way and rolls eastward, passing through the five prefectures of Shujing, Xuyang, and Qingzhou, and finally entering the sea in Qingzhou.

Although Xiaoxia couldn't recognize the scenery along the way, she calculated the time and knew that she should have crossed the border of Xuzhou at this time, was in the north of Yangzhou, and was about to reach Qingzhou.If you follow this route, you will probably disembark at Luoshui City in the end.This is exactly the waterway he took when he went to Qingzhou a year ago, that is, in Luoshui City a year ago, where he met Mingyue, and many things started from this.

Xiaoxia looked at the bow of the boat, and Mingyue was standing barefoot at the front, facing the wind on the river, she was dressed in white clothes fluttering, and her hair was full of black hair, as if the fairy Luoshen who was facing the river was about to fly away.

After that twists and turns, Mingyue seems to be a little different from before, and she no longer hangs around Xiaoxia as before. These days, when Xiaoxia sees her, she is mostly alone in a daze like this, There is no longer the simplicity and innocence of the little beast before, and there is something more in the depths of the eyes that are as clear as a spring.

"Stinky boy, look this way. If you want to see the girl, I will ask the girl to accompany you to the cabin and have a good time." Xi Yi slapped Xiao Xia on the head with a slap. "How much strength can you use that universal talisman now?"

Xiao Xia calmed down and carefully felt the Universal True Talisman in the Sea of ​​Consciousness. Compared with the farthest and most vague appearance, it is now a bit clearer.In the past few days, he accompanied Xi Yi to try various methods, and he has somewhat touched the way to use this universal talisman.

It seems that it can be said that as time goes by, this universal talisman will gradually become clearer and clearer in his sea of ​​consciousness.It was getting closer and closer, until it reached the state when he woke up that day, if he had a good rest and rested his mind.It will take about two days and two nights to recover from the most ambiguous situation to the clearest point.And then he borrowed the power of this omnipotent true talisman like catching Zhang Tianshi's spell and issuing the dry sky lock demon talisman.This true talisman will gradually become blurred.

Based on the experience of the past few days, I judged the appearance of the Universal True Talisman in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Xiao Xia said: "It probably only looks like four or five parts of strength now."

"Well, it's almost right, old Xu, let's try it as you said." Old Taoist Xi Yi waved to Xu Zhengzhou who was beside him. "Look, this is another benefit that the old Tao has brought to you, isn't it? If you don't come to Jingzhou with the old Tao, you won't have the chance to see this Taishangzhengyi Miluo Wanyou True Talisman that even Zhang Tianshi covets, right? Let alone let you try tricks."

When Xu Zhengzhou heard the words, he glared at the old Taoist Xi Yi angrily.Although in the same boat.It was the first time Xiaoxia saw Xu Zhengzhou in these few days, and now it seemed that his face was still a little pale, and the wear and tear from forcibly cutting open the World Purification Stupa five days ago has not fully recovered yet.

"Kid, don't move, don't be nervous, relax." Xu Zhengzhou pointed like a sword, and slowly pointed his two fingers towards Xiaoxia's eyebrows.

Of course Xiao Xia didn't move, just tried to relax as Xu Zhengzhou said.But at the same time, he could also feel that Xu Zhengzhou's slowly tapping fingertips carried a peaceful and soft sword aura.Compared with the majestic but slightly scattered vitality of heaven and earth induced by Taoism, the strength of martial arts, especially the innate true meaning of martial arts is condensed and restrained, and the martial arts cultivation of Xu Zhengzhou's realm.It wasn't the sword qi that was deliberately revealed. With Xiaoxia's third-rate martial arts foundation, he couldn't feel it at first, but now he is throbbing through the universal talisman.Xiaoxia's perception is also many times more sensitive than before. He can not only detect it, but also taste it like a landscape painting.

Although the sword energy on Xu Zhengzhou's finger does not appear huge, its artistic conception is extremely majestic and far-reaching, with continuous vitality, as if there is life, it can evolve into infinite possibilities.This is a bit like the innate spells he has been exposed to, but it is more vivid than those spells.

A martial artist is a bridge connecting heaven and earth, and after comprehending the innate state, martial arts will gradually contain the laws of heaven and earth.Unpredictable, becoming more and more like Taoism.On the contrary, Taoism will become more concise and free, becoming more and more like martial arts.The meaning contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword shows the sublime realm.Xiaoxia felt that it was probably the only time she had seen in her life.

As soon as this profound and vivid sword energy touched his eyebrows, it was about to spread towards his veins, but the omnipotent true talisman in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly began to stir, and it became clear at an extremely fast speed At the same time, the sword energy that Xu Zhengzhou tapped disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

"Hey, is that really the case?" Xu Zhengzhou nodded slightly. "How, is that one universal true talisman more able to use Ruyi?"

"Yes." Xiao Xia nodded in surprise.At this time, the image of the Universal True Talisman in the Sea of ​​Consciousness was unexpectedly clearer than ever.And the tendons at his brow point were only slightly swollen and painful.

Old Daoist Xi Yi leaned over and asked, "Then, how much power can you use this real talisman with this stroke of old Xu? Could it be possible to cast innate magic?"

"This...it depends on what kind of innate Taoism it is. The Qiantian Locking Demon Talisman will definitely not work, the Wutu Jiabing Curse is okay, and the Earth Dungeon can probably last for more than ten breaths. .” Xiao Xia scratched her head.After these few days of continuous practice, he has been able to encourage the power of the Universal True Talisman to use various Taoism. The smaller it is, but once the spell used reaches the innate level, the power of the true talisman consumed will increase dozens of times.At that time, when he was facing Master Zhang Tianshi, he was able to issue the Heavenly Locking Demon Talisman, which was due to the restriction that Zhang Yuhong originally imposed on him.In comparison, the Five Elements Armored Curse is the lowest level of the innate Taoism. He has also used the Wutu Armored Curse, and he has used the innate spell given to him by the elder Shi Zhongni of the Houtu Gate for a long time. He has the most experience with the innate Taoism of the earth, and only then can he use the Wutujia soldier spell and the earth escape technique.

"Hey, it's a pity that this method can't be used to make talismans. Otherwise, just like this old Xu, you can draw a high-grade talisman with one finger, and then you can draw another one. How difficult is it to make money every day?" The old Taoist Xi Yi sighed, and patted Xiao Xia on the shoulder full of regret. "But this is not bad. It can use high-grade Taoism. It can be regarded as a master of Taoism wherever it is put. In the future, the boy must practice a good iron head skill, and he is always ready to be punched and punched by others." .Handback is an endless spell, and it can also make a name for itself in the world. The iron-headed Dharma Zun is a very good nickname, it has both momentum and meaning, what do you think?"

"How can there be such a simple thing." Xu Zhengzhou sneered and shook his head. "The dantian on the center of the eyebrows is an important acupoint on the human body. It reaches directly to the sea of ​​consciousness where spiritual thoughts gather. It is the most important point for a cultivator. I deliberately put the strength in the slowest and softest way, and the innate sword intent is also restrained to the extreme. Deli, my sword intent is originally biased towards the side of vitality evolution. If the strength leaks slightly, or the sword intent is biased towards killing and attacking, then the end will be death or injury."

"Master Xu, master, what's going on?" Xiao Xia asked.

"Well, I can't understand it even if I want to say a few simple words...In the past few days, Lao Xu and I have deduced it in detail, and we have basically figured out the truth of this thing, so let me tell you..." The old Taoist Xi Yi thought for a while while flicking his beard. "Let's start with what the Taishang Zhengyi Miluo Wanyou True Talisman is. Well, the name of this Talisman was given by Zhang Daoling, and it is really the way Zhengyi taught those god sticks. It smells and looks like a talisman. An incomprehensible name can scare people into bowing their heads, but let’s just use this name for the time being.”…

"Although the old Taoists don't know where this thing came from and why it was born. But Zhang Daoling said that this thing is manifested by the Dao of Heaven and Earth. This is not all bragging, and there is some truth to it. A bald donkey like Buddhism According to the saying, this thing seems to be called Bodhi Dharma Fruit... Cough, it is this 'thing', but in fact it is not a 'thing', nor can it be called a 'thing'... But if you just say 'nothing' There has never been a way to go' or it is 'innately born lonely and liaoxi', and it must not have reached that point...just some meanings... Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three and three All things are born. This thing is not the Tao, but it can be regarded as one or two of the Tao. Or it is a point on the Buddhist Tantric Mandala that is very close to the most central Tathagata, do you understand?"

"...A shortcut?" Xiao Xia recalled what he had discussed with Zhang Yuhong.

"Hey. Let's just say that. Boy, if you can say this word, it can be seen that your vision has indeed improved over the years. In short, this thing can perform all the laws of the world according to the principle. There is a class taught by Tianshi Mi Luo Dao Zun came to imitate this thing. It’s just that now it’s in your hands, but some pearls have been cast secretly, so even if your kid is lucky enough to control it, you can only use this thing at most Just come up with a few Taoisms that you are familiar with."

"This thing is close to the co-existence of the great way of heaven and earth. It is endless and inexhaustible. It is reasonable to say that it will never be exhausted, but it is still the sentence just now. Due to your kid's superficial cultivation, after the evolution of Taoism, it will be inexhaustible. Gradually out of your control, that's why you said that the more you use this true talisman, the more blurred it will become in the sea of ​​consciousness. But correspondingly, the closer the law of heaven and earth is to resonate with it, the easier it is for you to grasp it This is the reason why Lao Xu poked you with his finger and you said that you can use the Taoist method."

"So that's it, I understand." Xiao Xia suddenly realized.It was the law of heaven and earth contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword-finger that inspired the true talisman, and in turn he could use the true talisman to encourage the laws of heaven and earth to evolve into other Taoisms.It's a pity that, as Xu Zhengzhou said just now, this method cannot be used unless it is an absolutely trustworthy master like Xu Zhengzhou. It doesn't work if the level of skill has not reached, or the type of skill does not match. For example, even if Tang Gonggong is still alive, his Even if the true meaning of martial arts that follows the path of destruction is cultivated to a profound level and can be controlled freely, I'm afraid I can't bear it.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that the incantations above the innate are also made by instigating the laws of heaven and earth, and they are far less condensed and lethal than the artistic conception of martial arts, so she asked: "Then it should be possible to use high-grade charms to vibrate the real talisman Yes."

"Of course it is possible, but master, I don't have top-grade spells for you to practice, and I also advise you, even if you have it, you don't need to take off your pants and fart, it's better to give it to the master and sell it Exchange it for wine money." The old Taoist Xiyi hooked his fingers. "Since the talisman has been made, the law and vitality in it have been combined to an excellent level. You lure the real talisman in the vibrating Lingtai Consciousness Sea and then use it again. Even the most familiar spells will come and go. A lot of damage, converting two or three or four talismans that can be kept for a long time and can be sold for money into one-off spells of the same grade, will only be done after being kicked in the head by a donkey."

"Well, then it's useless to say it." Xiao Xia couldn't help being a little disappointed.Speaking of which, this seemingly incomparably miraculous treasure fell into my hands, but it didn't have much effect. It could only be used every two or three days. In terms of trouble, it is really not worth mentioning.

"Don't be discouraged, kid." Xu Zhengzhou said lightly. "You are now the same as that Taoist Stone was back then. You have directly stepped into the half-step innate realm with the help of this talisman. With his obsession with the sword, Taoist Stone vividly used this originally infinite magic talisman The Supreme Treasure has been turned into a thing that controls a pair of flying swords, so it can be said that it has embarked on a crooked path that cannot be further crooked. But even so, after a long time, it has the supernatural power to rule the world. This thing can evolve all kinds of magic , is also the heart and the law, it can be said that what you want it to be, then it will gradually become what you want. You have learned the talisman method for 20 years with this old Tao, and you have no worries and freedom, which can be said to be the most suitable for this universal truth. Talisman's path, as long as you walk carefully step by step, your achievements in the future may not be below that Daoling."

"Mr. Xu praised it..." This is really a big hat.Even though Xiao Xia has never had any lofty ambitions, she was said to have some emotional ups and downs.

Speaking of this, Xu Zhengzhou sighed: "I also met Daoist Shi when he was young. In terms of talent for using swords, he is actually not inferior to me. It's a pity that he was dragged down by this treasure for a lifetime because of external things. Although he Those pair of flying swords are extremely powerful in attacking and fighting the enemy, far surpassing ordinary innate masters, but their own realm has not advanced an inch. According to what you said, it is really a pity to die on this thing in the end."

"Hey, old Xu, you also know that people can't die because of foreign objects, so what kind of treasure is this that you brag about so that this kid can't lose the cowhide of Zhang Daoling's magic stick. What is there to envy in Zhang Daoling's magic stick? You Look at the foundation of the Zhang family in Longhushan, which he passed down, and what it looks like now? Let me tell you, boy, your mentality before was right. This is shit. Since you accidentally swallowed it and couldn't spit it out , then take a good aftertaste and write down the taste, that’s all, so what should I do, understand?”
