Chapter 67: Cloth seizes power and the sword hangs high
An abandoned garden.
There are more than ten ancient trees, half withered and half prosperous.
There is another pool of water, which is turbid and yellowish in color and seems to be mixed with sediment.
A piece of brown ashlar stone five or six feet long, barely cast into the shape of a table.
There are two people here, one sitting and one standing.
The bodies of these two people are chaotic and unstable, giving people the illusion that they are made up of countless insects and dust. Their whole bodies are covered with this ethereal grainy feeling, completely losing their delicacy and roundness. The only exception is the cheeks, which look abnormal.
It's flat and smooth, no different from ordinary people.
The person sitting by the stone table has a gray-black body and white skin. The person standing more than ten feet away has a slightly white clothes, but his complexion is the most translucent sallow. Looking at it from a person with a clear Taoist heart,
Although the two of them have hidden depths that are unfathomable and can sense the atmosphere of the same world, their heads and bodies are divided into two parts, one is ethereal and the other is close to people, so they are completely divided into two parts.
The person sitting next to the stone table was holding a shallow wooden cup and sipping carefully.
But the man in light white robes a little further away came under a ten-foot-tall tree with withered tops and flourishing bottoms. He bent down, and rustling sounds gradually came from the ground.
It turned out that he was holding a small shovel in his hand and digging hard under the tall tree.
The man in black robe poured himself a cup and waited.
On top of the stone table, there is another piece of white stone chess pier that is as clear and as pure as jade. It is about five inches thick, but there are no chess pots or chess pieces. On the edge of the stone table is a thin, high-necked white jade wine chess piece.
Pot. In addition to the wooden cup in the palm of the black-robed man, there are two more cups on the stone table.
One of the cups was parked opposite the chess pier, half-drunk. This cup was next to a pair of wooden clogs, and the man digging had a pair of straw sandals under his feet, which he had obviously changed before going to the ground. It can be seen that this cup was the product of the small wooden clog in his hand.
The shovel belonged to the man in gray and white robes. But the extra third wooden cup was overflowing with wine, and there was still a trace of heat, and the temperature had not dissipated, so it seemed very redundant.
The man in white robe dug two feet deep, and finally took out two copper cans under the tree, threw the shovel aside, rolled up his sleeves, returned calmly, and put on his wooden shoes.
There was an eardrum-shattering "snap" sound, and two copper cans were thrown on both sides of the stone table. The copper lids on them shook open like a carp, and sure enough, they were two boxes of chess pieces.
The man in light white robe stretched out his hand, picked up the filled wine glass, and stared at it for a long time; then he gradually moved it closer to his lips, as if he wanted to drink it all in one gulp——
But the next moment, he sighed slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he finally threw the glass of wine completely, drawing a bright arc, which was extremely decisive.
Then he tossed it with his backhand and threw the wine glass into the turbid water in the distance, causing a series of splashes.
Then the man in the light white robe picked up the wine pot again, poured the wine into the old cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
After Liang Hou, the man in light white robe said quietly, "The chessboard is very big. If the war stretches for tens of millions, one person's power will be limited after all. But...at certain key points, it will inevitably feel like a lump in the throat." His voice was very hoarse.
It just so happens that this most simple and unpretentious voice conceals vitality and twilight, making it impossible to distinguish the age.
The man in black robe said lightly: "The power of sweeping all things, raising and lowering the five elements; and the meaning of indifference, guarding the heart, calmness and the middle way, originally go hand in hand. When enjoying the infinite scenery quietly, why not cherish a ladle of living water? From a technical point of view, the water
It's down, it's all-pervasive, and no one person can resist it; it's just that the sharp tassel of our holy sect's ancestral court points to everything, and there is no tendency to avoid it. If you avoid it now, it will inevitably doubt the faith of the disciples."
The man in light white robe said, "These are small things, if you want to come to the ceremony, the spiritual music will be arranged properly."
A quarter of an hour ago, the incarnation of the Yin-Yang Dao master was not just split into two in the Yin-Yang Cave as Gui Wujiu saw. In fact, he was split into three. Not long after leaving, the most focused projection of the incarnation was
, it fell here. The extra cup full of wine was prepared for the master of Yin and Yang.
It's just that the master of Yin and Yang did not drink it, and only left a few words.
The choice of the next master of Yin Yang Dao is determined by the fate of heaven and cannot be avoided. As long as the Holy Religion Ancestral Court does not take the initiative to attack her, considering the past friendship, Yin Yang Dao will not take the initiative to become an enemy of the Holy Religion Ancestral Court.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qin Menglin will definitely be by Gui Wujiu's side forever. If the war breaks out again in the future, there is no doubt that this will be a stumbling block for the ancestral court of the Holy Religion.
The discussion between the two people was based on this.
After the man in the light white robe sat down, the two seemed to close their eyes and rest for a while. Finally, the man in the black robe said, "Let's get started."
The man in light white robe nodded slowly, then reached out and grabbed a chess jar.
If anyone were watching here, they would probably think that the two of them were going to have a hand-to-hand talk.
But what happened next was completely amazing. The two men each grabbed a chess jar, and instead of dropping the chess pieces, they dumped all the chess pieces in the chess jar onto the chess pier and piled them into two pieces: one black and one white.
A small hill! Then their eyes fell on the two piles of chess pieces, and they stared at them for a long time.
Only then can we see that the quality of the two chess pieces is really worrying.
Regardless of the black or white seeds, the ones that are round, flawless, and full in shape are no more than 20 to 30% at most. The rest are either cracked or have irregular shapes, and some even have broken edges and corners like dogs have chewed them. In short, everything is perfect.
Most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.
But the gray running man looked at the two piles of chess pieces with a look of relief on his face.
The black-robed man said, "This fight that shocked half of the world was an unexpected mistake. The only way to deal with the aftermath is to use vigorous and resolute means to regain our reputation and implement this 'sword hanging high' strategy. Thank you."
The man in gray and white robes shook his head and said, "There is no need to be polite between you and me."
He also sighed, "Everyone knows that even if there are some spare parts in my Holy Religion's ancestral court, they are bound to be few; how can they know my true background?"
The man in black robe asked, "How much?"
The man in gray and white robes hesitated for a moment and said, "Leave six of the best quality for emergencies and invest the rest."
The man in black robe nodded slowly.
As the man in gray and white robes waved his hand, among the two chess pieces, dozens of black and white chess pieces each floated into the air and rotated slightly in mid-air. After careful inspection, it turned out that among the hundreds of chess pieces, ten of them were of better quality.
Filter out columns.
These dozens of chess pieces seemed to suddenly have a reaction, one black and one white, corresponding one to one, and glued together!
The moment this action was completed, a huge vision immediately occurred.
Originally, these black and white chess pieces looked very simple. Judging from their appearance, they were quite inferior to the chess pieces made of jade, agate, shell, amber, purple and other materials used by the princes and nobles. They seemed to be only as good as wooden painted ones.
The crude chess pieces are roughly the same. But when the black pieces and the white pieces match each other, an indescribable mystery involving the power of space emerges.
A pair of chess pieces makes a world.
The man in gray and white robe waved his sleeves, and dozens of chess pieces shot straight into the sky, spreading all over the endless void, and seemed to have been traced to the end of the Ziwei world!
It is said that even if this gray-white running man has the cultivation level of heaven and earth, he cannot move a world with his mind and magic power, just like an arm and a finger. However, the chess block in front of the two people seems to have a mystery - at this time, its stone body is almost
Disappeared, leaving only nineteen abstract black lines that existed alone, floating in the void, vaguely connected to dozens of chess pieces scattered out.
It seems that many unfathomable moves that require incredible strength have been prepared in advance through this chess block. Now, it is just a matter of using the means to move a thousand pounds.
…
In the Yin and Yang cave.
Guilty-free, Qin Menglin met and exchanged greetings with Tengjing, Xie Miao, Pucao and other direct descendants of the powerful clans. However, these families were beyond the reach of the Yin Sect's magic circle, so it was nothing more than a quick glance. Then the two of them started talking.
Gathered with Ma Yuan, Kong Xuan, Shen Tuhong, Zhen Shi and other four people, they briefly discussed the current situation of the clan and the clan, as well as the trends of enemies and friends.
After discussing for a while, Gui Wujiu suddenly realized that Zhenshi from the Fu tribe here was indeed an extraordinary person. His hidden sense of "wonderful understanding of mysteries" was very similar to the feeling that Kong Quan of the Peacock tribe gave him.
.However, compared with Kong Quan, Zhen Shi's "skill" and "consciousness" in using his own abilities are far superior.
The level of fighting ability is important, but having such a person who knows the secrets join is also of great help.
Although his first impression was very good, Gui Wujiu secretly thought about what kind of situation the other party faced, how sincere he was, and how much he could benefit from. He still needed to be invited to the Yin Sect for detailed discussions.
While he was thinking about it, shouts suddenly rose from all around. The entire space within the Yin Yang Cave seemed to suddenly become a little brighter.
Gui Wujiu, Qin Menglin, Ma Yuan, Kong Xuan and others all raised their heads.
Dozens of stars swayed from north to south, falling in the sky.
If it is said to be the phenomenon of a "meteor shower", it is not similar. Because the dozens of stars seem to be able to actively adjust their positions, and soon they appear one after another, like a string of extremely long candied haws. The one at the front is
The star seems to be about to fall into the Yin-Yang Cave in an instant!
What's even more surprising is that all the stars are half-dark and half-bright, with one side shining brightly and the other side dark and unpredictable.
Qin Menglin took a closer look and said, "This is not what happened in the Yin and Yang Cave, but the external situation, manifested by the 'Zhenhong Two Symbols'."
Before he could even finish his words, the first star was already crushing the top of Mount Tai, falling like a meteorite from the sky and falling with a sudden crash.
But the next moment when everyone screamed, they discovered that no one was injured. It seemed that the "meteor" falling was just an illusion. At the same time, the entire blue sky suddenly split into two, showing two scrolls!
In the picture scroll shown on the left half, Chishui Island is surrounded by six cliffs, guarding one place. On the top of the mountain, there is a dark cave entrance, and it is unknown where it leads. But those with more sensitive minds can recall the Tianchi where they stood.
When I came to the entrance, I felt that the two were 70-80% similar. I had a vague idea of the answer in my mind.
On the right half of the scroll, there is a Changchuan Falls, which is more than a few hundred miles wide and thousands of feet high. The water curtain is like hundreds of millions of hanging beads. The fog, sky and light mix together, and accompanied by the rumbling sound of the water, it creates a grand and majestic waterfall.
The meaning of wilderness.
The people in this place are all well-informed people who have seen many beautiful scenery. But this waterfall is really huge, but it can't help but make them feel "open-minded".
However, Shen Tuhong's expression changed and he whispered, "The first boundary monument in the north!"
Gui Wujiu asked in surprise, "Do you know where this waterfall belongs, fellow Taoist Shentu?"
Shen Tuhong's eyes were a little erratic, and he said in a low voice, "This is a strategic point in the far north of our Chimei tribe, and it is on the border with the four tribes. This waterfall was opened by the people with great supernatural powers in our tribe.
A boundary marker that isolates the border.”
Gui Wujiu nodded slowly, thinking that there must be something to follow.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, everyone in the world suddenly felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
The solitary peak on the left and the hanging waterfall of Changchuan on the right are not connected at all. It seems that they are separated by two parts, like a split mirror. But in a trance, it seems that...these two worlds are bounded by each other.
, became connected with each other!
If we are close to each other at the end of the world, it is nothing more than this.
Taking a closer look, there is suddenly a clear and shining "disk" in the middle of the waterfall, and then it seems to have cut out the void and connects to the distance!
Just as everyone was speculating, the second meteor fell from the sky!
The scene in the sky changes naturally.
The scroll on the left shows thousands of solitary peaks standing above the dark still water. There are caves in the belly of each peak, like a maze; the scroll on the right is a flaming mountain that stretches for three thousand miles, but the raging fire
In the middle, you can clearly see the shade of tall trees, which seems to be green even when bathed in fire.
One is extremely cold and lonely, the other is extremely blazing. You can see the weather is completely different at a glance, as separate as a businessman.
However, after waiting for a few breaths, the familiar feeling of "the two worlds are connected" came again...
This cycle goes on and on, and every time the star falls, these emotions appear again and again.
"Xuanwu Yuanshan..."
"E Qi Dao..."
Whispers passed into Gui Wujiu's ears. Like the "First Boundary Monument in the North" of the Red Mei Tribe, they were recognized in more and more places. Obviously, these are extremely prestigious symbols for their respective races.
sexual boundary.
After a while, Kong Xuan suddenly whispered, "Wudian Pagoda..."
Gui Wujiu looked up and saw that in the scroll, there was an endless yellow sand desert with thousands of ninety-nine-story white jade towers flowing freely in the sand.
With a thought in his heart, Gui Wujiu asked, "What's the area adjacent to the Peacock Clan's secret land?"
Kong Xuan shook her head and said, "It doesn't count. This is the habitat of the 'Wudian Clan'. The western border with my Peacock Clan is still blocked by the Bloodcrow Clan's boundary."
But Kong Xuan thought for a while and added, "However, the territory of the Blood Crow Clan is a long and narrow line. If we cross it directly, the distance is not very far. So if we can connect to Udian Tower, it will not be far away from our Peacock Clan."
Very far. But it certainly has not invaded the boundary; it is not even close to its neighbor."
Kong Xuan had obviously guessed what this meteor phenomenon represented.
Gui Wujiu nodded secretly. Judging from the cunning choice of the location, the Holy Cult Ancestral Court had already planned it.
For a long time, in the eyes of outsiders, the "Yin Yang Cave" of the Holy Religion Ancestral Court has been a means for it to integrate internal forces and connect strongholds. This thing has greatly improved the combat power of the Holy Religion Ancestral Court, but it is not used internally
In the end, management never gave people the most urgent sense of crisis.
No one thought that the means used by the Holy Religion Ancestral Court to restore the defeated situation would come so swiftly and fiercely - touching the elbows and armpits, like a ray of light on the back.
