More than a month later, the "Quandao Meeting" was coming to an end. Except for Xun Shen, all the opponents met one by one and fought one after another.
Gui Wujiu was finally convinced: Yu Gucheng had indeed failed to arrive due to some unexpected reasons.
At noon that day, Gui Wujiu sat on the swing on the side of the cloud platform, watching the weather calmly, the white clouds changing, the grass and trees swaying, and the birds gathering and dispersing. His demeanor was exceptionally calm and serene.
Not far away, Huang Xiyin was riding on Jiang Minyi's shoulders. Her little cheeks were already bulging, and she reached out to touch something and stuffed it into her mouth.
A closer look revealed that what she was eating was probably a kind of purple berry, and the air was filled with a unique fragrance, mixed with a hint of sourness. This thing was placed in a small frame made of bamboo strips the size of a bowl.
Hang it around Jiang Minyi's neck for Huang Xiyin to feed continuously.
A few months later, Huang Xiyin had already reached the second level of True Qi cultivation.
It is strange to say that Jiang Minyi has uncontrollable curiosity and appreciation for Huang Xiyin. But on the surface, Jiang Minyi adopts a slightly distant attitude towards Huang Xiyin, whether in practice or daily life.
It seems that he is admiring the vigorous growth of a small flower and grass, looking at it from a distance without being playful or overly affectionate.
But there is a kind of gravity in the dark. The relationship between the little guy and Jiang Minyi has become more and more intimate, like water flowing down, it is natural.
Blame-free, bystanders know that although Huang Xiyin and her master-disciple relationship have been established, in the depths of her young heart, she is both a master and a role model, as well as an object of challenge and a goal to climb. This feeling is consistent with Jiang Minyi's position
, there are different paths leading to the same destination.
Of course, Huang Xiyin cannot accurately know this truth based on his current intelligence. What is reflected externally is nothing more than a generalized "congeniality of temperament."
At this time, Jiang Minyi knew that Gui Wujiu seemed to be relaxed and peaceful, but he was actually adjusting his mood and preparing for the final battle with Xun Shen. Therefore, he kept a distant distance from Gui Wujiu to prevent him from being disturbed.
Not wanting Gui Wujiu to take the initiative, he waved and called her to come closer.
Gui Wujiu smiled and said, "Minyi, what do you think of the battle with Xun Shen three days later?"
Jiang Minyi's heart moved. Xun Shen has always been in an extremely detached position in the Gantang Sect. There are seventy-seven hermit sects and more than 200 true disciples. There are very few people who have close friendship with Xun Shen.
Even in the Dongxuan Club back then and the Taoist Interpretation Club today, Xun Shen's duels were only vague and the victory was determined with one move, and it was almost impossible to learn any valuable information.
And Jiang Minyi is one of the very few people who has real combat experience with Xun Shen.
Ever since she took up residence in Gui Wujiu's cave, she had long been certain that Gui Wujiu would ask her for information about Xun Shen. However, for several months, Gui Wujiu remained silent.
Just when Jiang Minyi thought she was blameless and wouldn't ask any more questions, on the eve of the battle, he asked again.
According to Jiang Minyi's point of view, I either don't listen or ask, everything is about me; since you want to ask, you should ask as early as possible to know yourself and the enemy.
Anyone else would have thought that Jiang Minyi was a person who worried about gains and losses, was indecisive, and had trouble controlling his mind.
But she didn't dare to think so about blamelessness.
After thinking carefully for a while, Jiang Minyi replied: "Xun Shen's state is already the perfect state of flawlessness and purity that thousands of ascetics dream of. But your state of blamelessness is in this state of harmony.
Go one step further. If the two of them have equal abilities, you will definitely win."
"The current situation is that you are superior in terms of realm, and Xun Shen is one step ahead in terms of merit. Each of them probably has his own strengths."
"It's just that even if Tao and magic are complementary, in the end Tao is the master and skill is the subordinate. Tao is the foundation and skill is the invention. It's really reached the critical moment when the two sides are indistinguishable, and only the master of one intention can seize the chance of victory or defeat.
, naturally you have the advantage."
If Gui Wujiu really has the magic power of the golden elixir realm, Jiang Minyi cannot believe that he has any hope of victory. However, through the actual battle between the two, Jiang Minyi has accurately estimated that Gui Wujiu's magic power can be seen.
Cheng is a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul - although she doesn't know how to do it.
Gui Wujiu nodded. Jiang Minyi's conclusion can be regarded as a neutral one.
But Jiang Minyi suddenly changed the topic and said: "But you can't take it lightly."
"Even if the general trend is like this, if everything in the world runs in accordance with the order with absolute precision, then everyone will just accept their own destiny. How will they become Taoists and cultivate immortality?"
"It stands to reason that the more subtle the merit is and the closer it is to the peak, the smaller the variables will be. However, throughout the ages, it is not unheard of for the strong and the weak to reverse the outcome, the offensive and defensive situations change, and the latecomers come out on top."
"So, you still can't lose your caution."
Gui Wujiu frowned. Although what Jiang Minyi said was reasonable, he felt keenly that it was not a general truth. So he smiled and said, "You seem to have something to say."
Jiang Minyi smiled knowingly and said: "When I went to Gantang Sect with me, I got to know Xun Shen a little bit. This man has two nicknames, which are very interesting."
"Before Xun Shen entered the realm of Yuanying, he was not like he is now, living in seclusion, and the dragon never sees its end. On the contrary, he liked to socialize, and he especially liked to talk about the art of war and chess with his fellow disciples."
"Among the Taoists, there are not a few who are passionate about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, the art of war is the method of 'controlling the crowd' in ordinary people's countries. After I have achieved something as a Taoist, I can climb mountains and fill seas with just a few moves.
Even if you use your military strength like a god, what's the use? Therefore, there are very few people who are good at this way."
"But Xun Shen was different. When friends met, he would speak three sentences without departing from the art of military use. He believed that this Tao was compatible with the Taoism of the Immortal School. Therefore, he gradually gained popularity among his fellow teachers and brothers.
A nickname of 'Soldier Immortal'."
"After achieving Nascent Soul, Xun Shen gradually faded out of the sight of his fellow disciples. In fact, he advanced to a higher level, and his contacts with the monks in the third level of the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul Realm became closer and closer, and they had more discussions. From then on, he talked less and less about the art of war.
But he did not abandon this Tao, but started from it, surpassed it, and finally formed a unique Tao concept."
"Over time, the name 'Bingxian' gradually faded away, but more and more people gave him a new nickname: 'The Great Onmyoji'."
Gui Wujiu looked solemn, could the word "yin and yang" be related to the yin and yang Tao?
Jiang Minyi seemed to know the intention of being blameless, and shook her head and said: "When Minyi heard this name for the first time, she also thought that Xun Shen also practiced the inheritance of Yin and Yang Tao. Even many low-level disciples in Gantang Sect also spread rumors."
"Later, when Minyi asked him face to face, he found out that this was not the case. The so-called 'Yin Yang Master' refers to the older generation of disciples in the sect who praised him for his ability to understand the changes of yin and yang and his unpredictable moves.
"
"Whether it is the Golden Core Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, Xun Shen is famous for his ability to make decisions and to defeat others without fighting."
Gui Wujiu nodded thoughtfully.
Jiang Minyi added: "After I fought with him, he seemed to accept the defeat with joy and magnanimity. However, I could catch some regrets in his demeanor and words."
"According to Minyi's guess, it is probably because the martial arts fighting methods in the Yuan Dynasty are very different from what Xun Shen learned in his life. Therefore, it was difficult for him to express his thoughts smoothly, so he was unable to fully display his strength."
Gui Wu Jiu murmured: "The Immortal of Soldiers...the Great Onmyoji...act according to his plan, and he will subdue others without fighting..."
…
Three peaks stand in the middle, more than 300 feet high, straight and steep.
The peaks of the three peaks are like three supports, supporting a huge upside-down copper cauldron. Looking from a distance, this copper cauldron is probably not more than a hundred feet in diameter.
Surrounding the three peaks for more than a thousand miles, there are flying boats as dense as locusts patrolling back and forth. Not only the outermost one, but every thirty miles, there are twelve flying boats forming a team, waiting around.
In addition to these flowing flying boats, there are also sixty-four towers suspended in the air, both inside and outside, forming a dark formation to protect the three peaks. This shows how tight the security is.
Look at the "Bronze Cauldron" that is being garrisoned as if facing a powerful enemy. The formations on it are densely covered, complicated and dazzling, and dozens of qi machines are scattered in the distance. These qi machines are like invisible ropes.
Far and near, carefully counting, there are about seventy-six roads.
Above the copper cauldron, thousands of feet through the clouds. On a huge brocade handkerchief as thin as a cicada's wings, there is a palace sitting on it.
Inside and outside the palace, the attendants were all dressed in jade and brocade robes, and none of them were below the Golden Core realm. They all held command talismans at their waists, with solemn expressions, like divine soldiers and generals.
There is a futon floating on the main seat in the middle of the hall, and an old man with a ruddy complexion and white beard and hair sits cross-legged.
This old face looks kind, but the atmosphere is reversed with the host and guest of the entire majestic palace, making the place filled with the will to dominate everything.
It was actually a Tianxuan Shangzhen who was personally in charge.
To the left and right of Your Highness, there are two middle-aged men with outstanding merits and extraordinary demeanor, who have reached the realm of separation and union in both Taoism and Dharma.
The slightly wealthy man on the left seemed to hesitate for a moment as he took a step forward and said, "Three days later, if we get the message that he will indeed be victorious, he will activate the 'Boundary Combination Law'."
"Even a disciple from outside the Jindan Realm can do this. There is nothing wrong with a disciple staying here, and the teacher does not need to be idle. Otherwise, it is because the disciple is incompetent, and even this easy matter cannot be shared by the master."
The old man shook his head and said warmly: "It's none of your business. This matter has seventy-seven alliances and has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. It is no small matter to finally launch it together."
"If something goes wrong in my Taisu sect, even if there are Taoists on top and other sects don't dare to criticize, the prestige will inevitably be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is better for me to take charge personally. I have been cultivating Taoism for thousands of years, so I don't have to worry about wasting these three years.
Day Kung Fu.”
Another tall and thin Lihe monk also said: "Since this matter is so big, wouldn't it be good to launch it together after the dust has settled? Why waste a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare the 'Hejie Grand' before the outcome is determined?"
Formation'? If this boy fails to win the battle, it will bring down the seventy-seven sects and their work will be in vain."
The old man pondered for a while and said: "The Taoists in this matter have their own reasons. Perhaps it is because of the word 'power'."
