Hell Emperor

Chapter 157 Xia Wei-On Tao

In the distant sky, a flying sword shining with silver light broke through the barrier of clouds and streaked across the sky like a shooting star.

At the front of the flying sword, Shen Qingge stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were cold and his figure was tall and tall, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg. Approaching her, it seemed that the temperature had dropped a lot.

Li Feimo came closer, holding some dry food in his hand. The purple butterfly on his shoulder was afraid of Shen Qingge's severity and had already hid:

"Master, it's been so long since I've been using the sword, and you haven't eaten anything, right? Do you want to eat some?"

Shen Qingge glanced at her lightly: "No need. Before the training began, I took Bigu Pill. It is a fifth-grade elixir refined by Master Yaoyin himself. It is enough to prevent people from eating or drinking for ten years."

Li Feimo stuck out his tongue: "What's so good about Bigu Pill? If you can't taste food, a lot of the fun in life will be missing."

Shen Qingge frowned slightly: "Mo'er, you are a cultivator, and the desire for food and drink will only slow down the pace of your practice. The so-called practice is to cut off the greed for external desires, so as to bring yourself closer to complete ruthlessness The pursuit of wealth and material enjoyment is not only unhelpful to spiritual practice, but will actually corrupt the Taoist mind."

Li Feimo muttered in a low voice: "But... I haven't started practicing the Xuannv Sutra of Sealing the Heart and Cutting Off Desires. Isn't it impossible to enjoy material things?"

Shen Qingge's cold eyes became stern: "If you go beyond the pursuit of material things and sink into it, you will eventually become a hungry ghost in the underworld. Those hungry ghosts spend their whole lives pursuing the feeling of fullness, but they will never be able to achieve their wish. , do you want to be a hungry ghost in the future?"

Li Feimo was so frightened that he trembled: "I don't want to be a hungry ghost... Master is right. In the future, I will be in the immortal class with all the ancestors and Master, but I can't become a hungry ghost." !”

Shen Qingge then nodded with satisfaction: "Go find Xia Wei, they are discussing the Tao. If you listen more, it will be very beneficial for you to advance to the fourth level of impermanence in the future."

Li Feimo did not dare to disobey and came to the middle section of Feijian, where Xia Wei was discussing Taoism with Guazi, talking about the meaning of formlessness and impermanence.

Even Guazi, who is ranked fifth, felt that he had benefited a lot after listening to Xia Wei's story. Many of the confusions in the past were now easily solved.

Guazi suppressed his excitement and felt that the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years was loosened. As long as he could take a further step towards formlessness and impermanence, he would be able to break through and reach the middle of the fifth level.

And all of this must be attributed to Xia Wei in front of her.

"I really don't know where Brother Jie found this apprentice..." Guazi sighed for a long time.

Hearing Guazi mention Ye Jie, Xia Wei raised her head, with a bit of longing in her bright eyes: "I don't know what happened to the master... The underworld is full of dangers, so don't let anything happen."

Li Feimo held his chin with one hand, remembering that Ye Jie had revealed Luo Dong's identity before, and couldn't help but feel reassured: "Brother Jie is more experienced than you. He can handle anything, and everything will be fine."

"By the way..." Xia Wei seemed to have remembered something, "Master said that I need to discuss Tao with others more so that I can learn from each other's strengths. I wonder what kind of impermanence Master Shen understands?"

Li Feimo looked frightened: "Does that need to be said? Judging from Master's temperament, she must have realized that the way of heaven is impermanent."

"Is the law of heaven impermanent...?"

Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, then led everyone to find Shen Qingge: "Uncle Shen, I want to discuss the Tao with you."

Shen Qingge looked at Xia Wei, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He looked at the disciples who were teasing Zidie and deserting. He couldn't help but secretly shook his head and said, "Of course. Now you are only a small level behind me. In terms of The standard of Tao is not the teaching of Tao from master to disciple, but the discussion of Tao among peers.”

Hearing this, before Xia Wei could speak, Li Feimo was so surprised that he was speechless.

Not long ago, when he first met Xia Wei, her cultivation level was almost the same as his own. Now, she was able to treat her master as a peer. How could this not surprise Li Feimo? She still felt a little disappointed, as if she had been pulled further and further away by Xia Wei.

Xia Wei cupped her fists and asked, "I wonder, Master Shen, how do you understand impermanence?"

"What I realize is that the way of heaven is impermanent. Everything in the universe is in a state of constant change and flow, and nothing is ever the same. This change is the essence of the universe and the embodiment of Tao... This is the basis for my understanding. If you go deeper, you can reach the realm of immortals.”

As he spoke, Shen Qingge glanced at Li Feimo beside him.

This discussion was not only for Xia Wei, but also meant to teach Li Feimo.

Judging from Li Feimo's strength, which is about to break through to the late third level, it won't be long before she, the reincarnated immortal, will be able to enter the fourth level of impermanence, and then this insight will come in handy.

While listening, Guazi nodded: "As expected of the descendant of the Xuannv Sect... the understanding of the impermanence of heaven is much more complicated than the impermanence of form. Unfortunately, this great truth is not my own understanding after all."

Only Xia Wei couldn't help frowning when she heard this insight: "Uncle Shen... you just said that if you use this as the basis for your insights, you can go straight to the realm of immortals, and the basis of your insights is that everything in the universe is... It’s constantly changing, right?”

Shen Qingge had no doubt about it: "Of course it is."

Xia Wei hit the nail on the head: "If everything is changing, then the foundation of perception remains unchanged? If the foundation of perception remains unchanged, it is contrary to the fact that everything is changing; if the foundation of perception is also changing, then the foundation itself , doesn’t it become the basis?”

After listening to what Xia Wei said, Li Feimo and Guazi didn't react at all, but Shen Qingge looked horrified, his cold pupils shrank, and the flying sword shook unstable, making everyone on the sword uneasy.

Hua Xiaomei was shaking and confused: "What happened? Is there an enemy attack?"

Nan Linghe said with a cry: "What's going on? Are we going to die?"

She held Meng Junyao tightly with her hand, planning to let Meng Junyao, who could fly, take her away if the flying sword fell.

Even Wei Zheng, who had always closed his eyes to rest, couldn't help but open his eyes with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. It was just a little accident. It's fine now..."

Shen Qingge let out a long sigh and apologized to everyone, but the hands behind his back kept shaking and did not stop for a long time.

Xia Wei's words almost caused her heart to be broken, her skills to lose, and her flying sword to lose control. Fortunately, she reacted in time, so it didn't lead to a big mistake.

A gentle word can be so lethal. For practitioners, Taoist heart is sometimes more important than life.

"I didn't expect that Junior Nephew Xia Wei, on the way to the Tao, would have the insight like a piercing fire. This talent is a gift that many practitioners dream of..."

Shen Qingge was filled with emotion. She only mentioned the impermanence of heaven a little bit, and Xia Wei gave such a heavy response that she didn't know what to say.

Xia Wei knew she had made a mistake, so she stood on tiptoe awkwardly and lowered her head full of guilt.

Shen Qingge patted her uneasy chest. After a while, still feeling frightened, she finally spoke:

"Next time, we should find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to discuss Taoism. Then we will call Ajie and make a pot of tea. I think the Flower Valley in Luzhou, Beiju is good, but don't discuss Taoism on Feijian... "

Xia Wei nodded in agreement, and saw Li Feimo's face full of yearning, the purple butterfly on his shoulder soaring, and the sea of ​​flowers talking. It was a scene she had dreamed of: "Will such a day really happen?"

Xia Wei assured her: "Of course. When the disasters in the world are over, we can discuss the truth wherever we want. There will definitely be a day!"

At this moment, a jade plaque in Guazi's arms suddenly began to vibrate. She took out the jade plaque, felt it, and her expression changed slightly:

"No...the maids are looking for me. There is a group of black and white people outside the wine country. It seems that my attack on the ghost soldiers of Guangwang Palace has been exposed. I have to return to the wine country as soon as possible."

Shen Qingge also understood the seriousness of the matter, lowered his flying sword, and sent the melon seeds back to the ground. He then watched her take out the Shuchi Stone and move away.

Guazi did not return to the wine country in Guangwang Palace, but came to Tianxuan Palace and saw Ye Jie who was waiting anxiously at a glance.

"I have heard about the situation. The wine country is under siege by Wu Chang. If Bai Luo hadn't raised the defensive formation in time, I'm afraid all the maids would be captured by Wu Chang. This would be terrible..."

Ye Jie took a deep breath and looked ashamed: "If it weren't for helping me, the wine country would still be able to maintain a prosperous business, and it wouldn't be reduced to this..."

Guazi held his hand: "That's not how things are discussed. If Brother Jie hadn't rescued Meng Junyao, the wine town would have existed in name only and closed down, so how could the business be prosperous? The maids chose their own roads, but Can’t blame others.”

Ye Jie stretched out his hand into his arms. The forbidden ancient talisman in his arms made him feel a little relieved: "I also have an ancient forbidden talisman. With its power, it should be able to repel those impermanences..."

Guazi didn't show any nervousness: "This talisman shouldn't be used. The great formation outside the wine country was arranged by Aunt Meng herself. Unless the judge takes action, it can't be broken by impermanence alone. Besides, after all, the wine country is hanging The name of the Ghost Fairy Aunt Meng, even if Aunt Meng is reincarnated, Wu Chang wants to take action, she still has to weigh whether she really dares to offend Po Meng, who is in charge of the road of reincarnation. Their behavior of blocking the Naihe Bridge is enough to make Po Meng unhappy. ”

Ye Jie felt a little relieved and asked again: "Are we going back to Guangwang Palace? I still carry the warrant of Guangwang Palace on my body. Once I return, the relationship between the wine country and me will be completely confirmed, and there will be no more wanted ones in the future." The Dharma has a place in the Guangwang Hall..."

Guazi reached into his arms and took out a simple scroll: "From the day Aunt Meng chose you as the destined one, the maids have been inextricably linked with you. They have already prepared for this day. I'm ready. Now that the situation has come to an end, let me include the wine country in the Qionglou Picture Scroll and wait for the day when I can find a better place."

Li Ba also looked over: "I'll go take a look too. After all, I have level four strength, which is enough to deal with ordinary impermanence."

Ye Jie nodded, and after saying that, he took out the Shuodi Stone, and the others moved away, and soon returned to King Guang's palace.

Returning to Guangwang Palace, Ye Jie's mood is very different now.

Last time, he was the best ghost servant in the Guangwang Palace. No matter where he went, he was praised and sought after by the ghosts in the palace. They even regarded Ye Jieduo's countdown experience in the next year as his forbearance and dormancy, and praised him for his ability. add.

But this time, he has become the public enemy of the ghosts in the palace. All the ghosts want to kill him quickly, in exchange for the appreciation of the Lord Guang Wang, and embark on the road to prosperity.

Under the protection of the formation, everyone was unable to pass through the Shukuchi Stone and move inside the formation, so they had to go to a street slightly closer to Meng Auntie's Wine Country to watch.

Looking at the familiar streets in the distance, Li Ba was also filled with emotion: "In the past, I used to dedicate my strength to the Guangwang Palace as the supreme honor of Guizhao. But now it seems that it is not an honor at all. On the contrary, I am helping the evildoers!" It’s ridiculous that I didn’t understand this until my clan members were killed…”

Ye Jie patted her back: "If you can see this clearly, you have done better than other ghosts."

Guazi looked into the distance and suddenly exclaimed: "Wait a minute... Look, something seems wrong."

Following the sound, Ye Jie was secretly frightened by the scene in front of him.

The white barrier that enveloped the wine country was cracked and crumbling. It seemed that it had reached its limit and could break at any time.

Outside the barrier, a judge took action with all his strength, revealing a body with three sides and six arms.

His body was tall and majestic. His three-foot-tall body was like an insurmountable mountain. His six arms held different weapons and struck hard at the formation protecting the wine country. His head was extremely terrifying. , three ferocious faces were compressed on the same head. Among them, the one facing the barrier was angry, the left side of the head was mourning, and the right side of the head was fear.

"No, the one who revealed his dharma body is none other than Judge Lai, the strongest of the four judges! Under his fierce attack, the Wineland Formation will not be able to hold on for long..."

Guazi looked anxious and revealed the man's identity in one breath: "It's terrible now... With my strength, I am no match for him. He has reached the peak of the fifth level. If I want to take away the wine country, it will take at least ten years." Just a few seconds to breathe. Not to mention taking away the wine country in front of him, he will kill you instantly just by showing your head."

Ye Jie also understood the seriousness of the matter. If he wanted to deal with the fifth-level peak judge, he had no other way but to use the power of the forbidden ancient talisman.

Looking up, through the pale white barrier, Ye Jie also saw the trembling maids behind the barrier.

The pale Magnolia was playing the piano constantly to boost everyone's morale and prevent them from falling into despair. Facing the judge's power, Bai Luo was so frightened that she fell from her wheelchair and could not get up for a long time.

In addition to the panicked maid, Ye Jie also saw several familiar figures. Xie Xinyu, who was staying in the wine country to recuperate, also poked his head out, his face full of fear, and he didn't understand why the wine country attracted the judge's attack.

Beside her, Lucy was not afraid, she still looked confused.

At this time, with the sound of bang, the barrier outside the wine country was completely shattered, and everyone inside was completely exposed to the judge's attack.

"The people in Aunt Meng's wine country colluded with Ye Jie and betrayed the palace master. The crime is unforgivable! By your Majesty's order, all the traitors will be eradicated!"

The judge came and raised his weapon and wanted to kill all the maids on the spot.

As death approached, the maids sobbed softly, filled with despair.

Ye Jie reached into his arms and took out the six-character Great Ming Talisman. Just as he was about to activate the power of the forbidden ancient talisman, he suddenly felt an inexplicable aura coming from someone who had taken action earlier than him.

What made Ye Jie slightly stunned was that the person who took action was none other than Lucy, who looked harmless.

Listening to the wailings of the maids, Lucy, who had been taking care of them, had a look of anger on her face for the first time. She raised her hand and pointed at Judge Lai, and then heard a thunderous explosion, and Judge Lai's figure was like After being struck by lightning, it exploded from the middle, and the entire Dharma Body was blown apart!
