The Supreme Being

"The ancient talisman of breaking the sky, a top-notch treasure weapon-level item, was originally a divine talisman and immortal seal script. It was the handiwork of a powerful person in ancient times. It was later acquired by Emperor Zhenwu. Due to the age and frequent use, its power slowly lost and its quality deteriorated. Currently, it can be used to break through the void and escape. It cannot be blocked by illegal body or restraint methods. It can be used twice and is worth 9,800 good deeds. "

"The Black Turtle Sword is a top-quality weapon. It is the product of Emperor Zhenwu's early failure in refining the magic weapon. It has excellent defense. If you block it with your body, even the magic weapon will take two or three times to cut it off. It is worth nine thousand meritorious deeds."

Both the Sun Flame Heart and the Ice-Eyed Crystal Soul Meng Qi knew each other, so they put them away without asking for appraisal.

At this time, Lingbao Tianzun reminded: "Although the task of refining magic weapons is simpler than exchanging magic weapons, it is not easy. Even if you have many top inheritances, don't try it easily. You have to pass the first step no matter what. To reach the second level of the ladder and become a master, Doumu tried three times to protect himself, exhausted all his savings, and narrowly escaped death before finally completing the specific task of refining the divine weapon."

"Doumu has become a magic weapon? To protect himself?" Meng Qi was a little surprised.

Is it so difficult to even take half a step of Dharmakaya?

Lingbao Tianzun said with emotion: "The most difficult stage of the reincarnation mission is when you are stuck at a certain pass. This was the case for Qingyuan and Bixia before, and Doumu and Taiyi now. Their cultivation and strength stagnated. , but the difficulty of the reincarnation mission gradually increases. The first few times are fine, but if you don't break through later, you will have to rely on foreign objects. I don't know how many reincarnations have fallen at this stage."

"The entrance and the three-level ladder are not as difficult as reaching the Dharmakaya in half a step. The old Taoist has never forgotten this. It has been several years since Dou Mu reached the half step. He has completed two or three tasks, but there is no sign of a breakthrough yet, so Prepare for a rainy day and refine magic weapons to protect yourself."

No more than the normal half-step and the peak of the exterior scene, Doumu Yuanjun and others who are trapped in reincarnation have a more urgent desire to break through. Otherwise, watching the difficulty of the reincarnation mission increase little by little, there will be a kind of pain of drowning and struggling. Although Meng Qi does not feel the same way, It can also be a bit sad for a rabbit to die and a fox to rise to the sky in one step, and four calamities are added to his body. It may have been smooth sailing before the master, but what about after the master?

Potential is potential, but even in ancient times, the Dharmakaya was an important symbol for distinguishing immortals from humans. With Su Wuming's amazing talent, wouldn't it be possible for the Dharmakaya to be stuck in half-step for many years?

"Junior will be cautious." Meng Qi nodded solemnly. Anyway, the main material of the magic weapon can be temporarily used as a secret treasure.

Lingbao Tianzun said: "The old Taoist wants to deal with the opportunity of enlightenment of 'Tao Chuan Yuan Yu'. The price paid by the official members for the first enlightenment does not need to be too high. It belongs to Xianji Gongzhong, and you gain the eighty-nine mysterious skills and one body. If they want to realize the true meaning of the secret knowledge for a second time, they need to negotiate with you and pay you a certain amount of good deeds or items."

It is impossible for the official members of Xianji to just pick up a treasure for nothing and be able to realize "Tao spreads all over the world" all the time. This is equivalent to sitting back and enjoying the results without putting in any effort, which goes against the original intention of Xianji to help each other. We cannot just enjoy the help without paying the price!

"Okay!" Lingbao Tianzun was so clear-minded that Meng Qi naturally had no objection.

Lingbao Tianzun turned to look at Jiang Zhiwei: "Jiang Xiaoyou, you have Meng Xiaoyou to shoulder the full responsibility, and you are almost a top expert yourself. The assessment task of strength is meaningless to you, so you can directly become a formal member, but the original intention of Xianji is to help each other. , you can’t get it for nothing, you can only get the enlightenment part of Yuding Zhenren’s technique at present, please complete the task of becoming a new official member as soon as possible to get the follow-up.”

His proposal was reasonable and reasonable, and Jiang Zhiwei also had no objection. She said that she had realized "Tao spreads the world", and after digesting it in seclusion, she came to receive the task.

Because both of them only took one item, Meng Qi did not hide anything at this time. He shared some of his thoughts on the general outline of Zhenwu Evil Nian, striving to promote Lingbao Tianzun to the Earth Immortal as soon as possible. Jiang Zhiwei reached the first level of the ladder within four months. .

The former is a long-term benefit for me, who is a member of Xianji and has a good relationship with Tianzun, and the latter is of great help to the mission of Journey to the West!

After Jiang Zhiwei's enlightenment was completed, Meng Qi also obtained the "Return of Everything" that he had longed for, and initially understood the technique of condensing all power into one point!

After leaving a message to "Qingyuan" Cao Xianzhi asking about the Purple Thunder Immortal, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei wore masks and flew to the exit together.

"'Tao Chuan Yuan Yu' is really mysterious and profound. I have to retreat as soon as possible to digest and understand, and strive to reach the first level of the ladder before the mission of Journey to the West." When it comes to matters related to swordsmanship, even if he is covered by a mask, Meng Qi can tell Jiang Zhiwei In her tone, she could "feel" her pretty face shrouded in light, and her radiant eyes.

Meng Qi breathed out and heard Jiang Zhi smile and say: "You have gained so much this time, you must be very happy, right?"

She knew very well about Meng Qi's shortcomings of being obsessed with money.

"If I say I'm not happy, I'd definitely be lying to you." Meng Qi smiled, "But while I'm happy, I feel tired and depressed."

The smile in his tone gradually faded.

"Because of the powerful thing?" Jiang Zhiwei asked keenly.

Meng Qi took a breath and slowly exhaled: "Well, starting from the Miwuyou Valley, the whereabouts of the underworld, the mysterious Taoist, the All-Seeing God, the general outline of the Tathagata God's Palm, the 'Pure Land' in the back mountain of Shaolin, Ananda, several saints, and the magician , blue-blooded man, the world of gods, the remains of Xuannv, Overlord’s sword, Zhenwu’s evil thoughts, the former descendant of the God of Thunder, the fifth form of the seven swords of Jie Tian, ​​one thing followed another, the powerful ‘figure’ appeared frequently, It makes me breathless. Although the harvest is far better than that of ordinary masters, there is always an unreal feeling, as if the virtual fire is like a bubble and I can't control it. "

"Empty, depressed, and physically and mentally exhausted are the reflections of my current state of mind. The joy of harvesting treasures is followed by emptiness, fear, and tension."

Jiang Zhiwei listened to his heartfelt confession and said in a soft voice: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine out of forty. The escape of one of the ways of heaven is the source of vitality in a desperate situation. You are entangled in cause and effect. You can only work hard and be determined." Only by moving forward and walking your own path can you grasp this glimmer of hope. This path is very tiring and painful, and you may lose your relatives and friends, or you may have enemies all over the world, which is very difficult for people to endure.”

"But I know that you only appear to be lively and lively, and not very mature. In fact, you are very determined, perseverant, principled, persistent, and willing to fight to the death. Your current fatigue is only temporary."

She suddenly smiled: "It's of no use to you to say this, because you know it very well."

"What you need now is to rest, relax, and forget all this for the time being. When this stage passes, you can regain your mood and be full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit."

She suddenly pulled out her sword and pointed it at the sky:

"Look, if the gods and Buddhas in the sky use us as pawns to control our lives, how about killing them?"

Meng Qi watched silently, with the warmth of being comforted by a friend, but did not answer directly, because he knew that nothing he said at this time was out of love, and his high fighting spirit must be empty and weak.

Approaching the entrance, he sorted out his thoughts: "Zhiwei, you are right, I need a rest, so I plan to take a spiritual journey, relax while practicing, meet old friends, talk about the past, and forget other worries."

Jiang Zhi smiled and nodded without saying much. As always, he was a firm, reliable and trustworthy companion.

…………

It's nearing the middle of winter, the Tamhara Snow Mountain is covered with snow, and the roads are icy.

Meng Qi changed his attire, wearing a green robe and a wide robe, his hair tied with a wooden hairpin, a long knife hanging from his waist, and walking in the snow with his hands behind his back.

Creaking, he walked slowly, like an ordinary person, his mood was far from peaceful, but there were no emotional ups and downs.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Meng Qi stepped onto the sky and ascended into the air step by step.

The last time he came here, he and Shangguan Heng climbed the snow peak and ice wall. They were very tired from running around. Today, the top of the mountain is only a snap away.

Snow and mist filled the air, and warriors appeared from time to time below, hunting prey and seizing snow lotus. The sound of the collision of gold and iron could only be heard in the distance, making Meng Qi, who was watching all this in mid-air, feel like he was in two worlds.

The top of the mountain is still the same, with the weird man Huang Liang still sitting in the small igloo, his beard and hair tangled and covering his face, gray and dull.

Meng Qi showed a smile, walked slowly to Huang Liang, sat down without a trace, and looked up at the stars like him.

There were no clouds to cover the sky, the stars were bright, the sky was clear and dreamy, Meng Qi's thoughts were divergent, and he was thinking about irrelevant questions.

Are they stars?

Is this a round sky or a vast universe?

Is this world a fragment of the universe's light, or is it the real body?

Is there any similarity between the Tree of Avenue and the World Tree and Cosmic Tree that I heard about in my previous life?

Where is the world a green leaf, where is the world a branch?

Meng Qi was in a daze, as if immersed in the vastness of the starry sky, his mind was racing, and he said to himself:

"What is a leaf, what is a branch, what is a stem, what is a root?"

Weird Huang Liang turned his head suddenly and looked at Meng Qi suspiciously:

"Who are you?"

"Does it matter who I am?" Meng Qi still looked at the starry sky.

"Yes." Huang Liang turned around and fell into deep thought again: "What are leaves, what are branches, what are stems, and what are roots?"

Snowflakes fell and condensed into ice. Meng Qi's body was covered with white snow, but it did not move at all.

After a few days, Meng Qi did not dwell on the lack of gains in thinking, but was delighted that his mind had become much clearer. He stood up calmly, shook off the white snow and ice crystals, chuckled, and flew into the distance.

Huang Liang rolled his eyes, glanced at his back, and shook his head:

"wack."

…………

The sound of firecrackers can be heard, the snowflakes cannot cover up the lights, and the streets of Yuqiao in Yedu are full of people. Some rush to the restaurants, and some look at the weaving and embroidery New Year goods at the stalls on both sides. The river reflects the prosperity of the shops and flows slowly. With the prosperity, the hustle and bustle of the world enters the heart.

People were coming and going, and there was a lot of excitement. Meng Qi, wearing a wooden hairpin, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looking around.

Five or six years ago, I was walking here during this season, looking for delicious food... I can't remember it clearly. It didn't take long, but it seemed like it happened a lifetime ago... No need to deliberately, the memories flowed into Meng on their own. In my mind, the pedestrians, lights, and water flow seemed to reappear yesterday.

Gu Yaonv suddenly appeared by the bridge at that time. She was wearing a white cloak, with an ethereal temperament, and picturesque eyebrows. She looked like a serious girl with the lights of the world scattered all over her body... His eyes swept across the Jade Belt Bridge. Meng Qi suddenly remembered that scene, and it was not because he missed it. Gu Xiaosang, on the other hand, had a lot of emotions. At that time, Gu Yaonv was stronger than him, just like a cat teasing a mouse. It had only been a few years, but if she didn't use the most underhanded tactics, she might not be able to win over him.

Ziwu bought it here...

This is where the evil calamity fell into the hands of Gu Yaonv...

Every step forward is a memory, and Meng Qi seems to have returned to that time.

On the left, there are couples walking together, and on the left, there are mothers holding their children. There are also young men and women meeting in dimly lit places, and there are gluttonous guests who are exhaling white breath and looking for delicious food.

They were so real, and the mortal world was so real, Meng Qi suddenly felt like he had come to life, as if he had returned to that state of mind.

He likes food, is passionate about life, pursues beauty, plans good deeds, and thinks about tasks. He has all kinds of joys, sorrows, and joys. He is not an elegant person, but he lives like a real person, not a tomb, a ruin, a cold,... Strange, powerful and endless encounters...

A smile gradually appeared on Meng Qi's face. Looking left and right, he seemed to blend in.

After taking a few steps forward, his smile became even brighter. In the dim light, the old friend stood with a sword and a cup of wine. Wang Zai's Chinese character face was extremely eye-catching.

"What a coincidence." Meng Qi said with a smile.

Wang Zaishi smiled and said: "You passed by my house twice without concealing your presence. If you can't be found even in this way, how can we, the Wang family of Zhoujun, dare to call ourselves a top family?"

Meng Qi looked at Wang Zai with a smile: "You, your biggest shortcoming is that you are too honest and like to tell the truth. Shouldn't you say 'what a coincidence' at this time?"

He paused and said:

"But I'm most pleased that you told the truth."

The "explanation" is so good every time!

Wang Zai was amused by Meng Qi's ridicule, handed him a bottle of wine, and started drinking together on the street.

"Have you been promoted to location?" Meng Qi took a sip and stepped forward, not stopping to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the world.

Wang Zai nodded and said: "Before, I was only thinking about reaching the sky in one step, but I haven't tried to make a breakthrough. Later, my father wrote a letter to scold me, saying that my Wang family's learning was mediocre, and that going too far was not enough. This made me wake up."

"My way is not your way." Meng Qi smiled.

When they reached the end of the street, the two of them made a tacit understanding without saying much, and separated along the fork in the road.

At this time, in front of Meng Qi, a handsome young man in green clothes came up with a wine jar, drinking and singing:

"Look up to the sky and go out laughing. How can I be a Penghao person..."

Young Master Tassel!

Meng Qi raised the wine bottle, laughed and took a sip, Liusu did the same.

The two passed by each other immediately.

A smile is enough when we meet!

…………

He Mu already has four skills, and his swordsmanship is even more outstanding. He can often defeat those who are stronger than him, and he is well-known in the Yedu martial arts school.

On New Year's Eve, he took the wine and went to the place where Mr. Su used to live. He planned to drink it by himself as he did every year before, recalling the past and lamenting that he had such an opportunity.

Pushing open the door, his eyes suddenly froze. The handsome and free-spirited Mr. Su, wearing a green robe and a wooden hairpin, was sitting under the red plums just like a few years ago, facing the small fire of the copper stove, still holding a book in his hand. , dedicated reading brings indescribable tranquility.

He Mu slowed down his pace, breathed less, approached cautiously, and asked respectfully:

"Or "Tianwen"?"

Meng Qi smiled: "The more I read, the more I realize how little I know."

He Mu nodded slightly, said nothing more, put down the wine jar, sat in his usual seat, and listened to Mr. Su's explanation of poetry.

The red plum copper stove, the white snow falling, and the rhythmic sound make people feel calm.

As the sky turned bright, Meng Qi put down his book, stood up slowly, and looked at He Mu with a smile:

"This is the result of careful consideration two years ago. Practice it well."

With a little finger, right in the center of He Mu's eyebrows, various images flashed.

When He Mu was reminiscing, he found that Mr. Su had disappeared, leaving only a smile:

"Don't ruin my reputation."

…………

Walking through the snow, Meng Qi walked up Liantai Mountain with his hands behind his hands. The night was shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights shining through the temple on the top of the mountain.

The night was deserted, the cold wind sobered me up, and Meng Qi, who felt much more relaxed, was happily climbing the stairs, taking his time, not in a hurry.

Looking at the half-mountain pavilion, Meng Qi recalled every detail of the past, the silly little junior brother, the melancholy master...

when!

The sound of a bell swayed the sky, which had a strange charm in the night, and seemed to be able to bring back those who were lost in the sea of ​​suffering.

Did you hear the abbot ringing the bell?

Meng Qi was stunned, feeling that the last traces of gloom and fatigue in his heart were completely wiped away, and his heart became lively again, as if the dust had been washed away.

The prosperous world, fresh life, close companions, mutual support, all kinds of fun, and leisurely contentment. This is who I was before, and this is who I am now. No matter what happens in the future, I must not let the powerful "take it away" now, and I cannot let them It messed up my mood!

At this time, the voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation came to his ears, asking him to stay away from Shaolin and prepare for the mission.

He turned around and left. Not long after, Meng Qi was thousands of miles away.

His heart suddenly surged with high morale and fighting spirit, and he roared:

"Today, with the sword in hand, I will slay gods, immortals and Buddhas!"

He sang generously, as if answering Jiang Zhiwei's previous question.

The sound spread far away, and the figure disappeared.
