Chapter 37: The short and the long, the eve of the decisive battle
At this time, Xuanyuan Huai's appearance was different from that at any time before.
He seems to be a mixture of two images. You can vaguely see the black and white stripes on his clothes, but the outline of his face has a sparse and empty look. And the subtleties of his eyebrows and eyes can clearly be seen as two images.
fused together.
The two images are mixed into one, and the energy flow is slightly chaotic, with signs of floating and uncertainty.
Gui Wujiu suddenly had an intuition in his heart, as if Xuanyuan Huai's "image" could not appear independently at this moment. So he settled for the next best thing and presented this confused image.
After pondering for a few breaths, Xuanyuan Huai opened his eyes and said with emotion: "Excellent swordsmanship and supernatural powers."
Gui Wugui did not hide his head and tail, and asked directly: "I wonder how long it will take for Taoist monk Xuanyuan to cultivate before he can return to the state of perfect spirit and full energy without leakage?"
Xuanyuan Huai lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "If all the magical powers can be operated without any hindrance, it will be the same as when it is at its peak, and it will take more than a month."
This answer was slightly beyond Gui Wujiu's expectation. However, given Xuanyuan Huai's strong will, there was no need to be pretentious.
Gui Wujiu nodded and pondered, then suddenly an idea came to his mind.
On the surface, it would take a year for Gui Wujiu and Kongyun Nianjian to return to perfection, while Xuanyuan Huai could return to perfection in more than a month. It is clear that they are superior to each other.
Just now, I thought so just now that I was not to blame.
However, upon in-depth consideration, there are still points that can be discussed.
In this situation, two things surprised Gui Wujiu.
One of them is naturally that Xuanyuan Huai admitted that his recovery time was around a month, which was much shorter than Gui Wujiu expected.
However, there is another thing - that is, Xuanyuan Hui was seriously injured at this time, but it was slightly more serious than Gui Wujiu expected. It should be noted that Gui Wujiu himself can barely be said to be in good spirits at this time.
So much so that Gui Wujia feels eager to try. It seems that by fighting in such an unsatisfactory state, how much does his chance of winning increase?
These two things are not independent, but interrelated.
The method of cultivating the Kongyu Nianjian that I cultivated was based on the "Evolution Chart of the Nianjian". It was only through the manifestation of the whole pearl given by the woman in white that I obtained this fundamental method.
There were already clues indicating that this woman in white must be a very high-level existence. Later, the experience of the chess game between the Great Demon Lord Li Lanzha and himself further verified this guess. Therefore, in terms of the fundamental power of magical powers,
, even if Chenyang Jianshan’s Eight Meridians Kendo is equally good, Gui Wujiu’s Confident Kongyun Nianjian seems to be above it.
This is the advantage of not being blamed.
But on the other hand, Kongyun Nianjian is a newly established method after all, and its meaning is still simple. In terms of endless adaptability and fantastic uses, it is somewhat inferior to the eight-meridian swordsmanship of Chenyang Sword Mountain that has been honed for thousands of years.
The context of the incident lies here.
The Eighteen Swords Kong Yun Nian Sword was launched, and no one in the world could compete with the magical power. Therefore, Xuanyuan Huai's injury was indeed more serious than he expected in advance. However, as time passed, the other party held the method to restore healing and cleanse his body.
It is vast, complex, and unpredictable. Therefore, its recovery speed is much faster than I imagined.
Advantages and disadvantages contrast with each other, forming a set of contradictions.
Then the key to victory or defeat will emerge.
The period of time after the supernatural power is unleashed is the period of relative advantage in which no one is to blame. If victory cannot be achieved in one fell swoop and it is delayed for a long time, then it will be Xuanyuan Huai's turn to turn against the enemy.
Xuanyuan Huai said again: "What a magical power."
This is what he reiterated again.
It seemed that the full power of the Kongyun Nianjian was unleashed, which was indeed far beyond his expectation.
The two looked at each other.
At this moment, both sides knew their respective paths of victory and defeat.
At first glance, it seems that Gui Wujiu is taking the initiative. Facing Kongyun Nianjian, Xuanyuan Huai seems to have to temporarily avoid the edge. But in Gui Wujiu's heart, there is not much pleasure in being able to gain the upper hand over Xuanyuan Huai.
Because he was not to blame, he took the method of retreating from the hidden image of himself in the real and illusory world. Changing places, and with the respect of Xuanyuan Huai's status, he may not not have a very high-level method of avoiding war.
If Xuanyuan Huai also holds a similar method, then the game between the two parties will obviously be without blame and will not be easy to win.
After more than ten breaths, Xuanyuan Huai's body swayed and became much purer.
There seemed to be many inexplicable things retreating into the depths of this body.
Xuanyuan Huai came to meet Gui Wujiu for a while. This was obviously part of his plan; it seemed like he was trying the law on his own.
Even if he is not to blame, there is no need to give in too much. When his Dharmakaya struck the main body with a sword, the subtle reaction at that moment has been completely sealed and sealed by him for the future. The solemn attitude of cherishing it is no less than that between real and illusion.
When breaking through the realm and taking a shortcut.
If you take time to understand it, you will have some insights.
Xuanyuan Huai said with a smile: "A certain book came here to 'obtain scriptures'. I have acquired the swordsmanship of my fellow Taoist."
Gui Wujiu said seriously: "Both each other."
Xuanyuan Huai said lightly: "At that time, a Taoist friend obtained a volume of "Observation of the Dharma" from the hands of a certain disciple. The Taoist Taoist had a wide range of magical paths. Including this basic swordsmanship, there were at least three major sects. Unexpectedly
There is no time left to understand the teachings of our sect. However, after today's confrontation between you and me, we have confirmed each other and are not far away from getting a glimpse of its full picture."
Gui Wujiu was startled when he heard this.
Chenyang Jianshan's "Viewing the Dharma", he started with the whole bead, taking away the parts in one go that could be used as a reference. When showing the image, it was as if a big hole had been cut out in the picture. But the parts that were not connected,
Although Gui Wujiu has tried to understand a few things, he has not been able to achieve it completely.
Listening to Xuanyuan Huai's words, it seems that if you look at this picture after today's battle, it will be easy to see its full picture.
Gui Wujiu smiled indifferently and said: "The Taoism of the noble sect is naturally attractive. But for Gui, the gate of Chenyang Sword Mountain is no different than the dragon's pond and tiger's den. If you want to visit in person, it seems that the time has not come yet. I thought about it.
As a result, the thoughts of intensive study and speculation have faded away."
At this time, Xuanyuan Huai has completely recovered to his "real body", and the black and white stripes on his robes have become more distinct. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Why should I say anything to undermine my fellow Taoist? Xuanyuan Huai can make the decision. You and I can really decide the outcome.
It will be the time for the Five Hundred Years Congress to re-establish the Tiangang Dharma Agreement. Before that, if you have fully understood the "Guan Dharma Diagram" and come to our sect, we will treat you as a distinguished guest without any worries.
"
Gui Wujiu said: "In this way, I am very impressed by the virtue of fellow Taoist Xuanyuan."
Xuanyuan Huai suddenly raised his head, looked into the distance, and said: "The power of the swordsmanship of my Taoist friend is indeed beyond one's expectation. But in terms of purely Taoist purposes, it makes the disciple's magical power even more powerful.
It's surprising. The so-called 'swordsmanship is idealistic' originally means truth and clarity; and her swordsmanship really corresponds to the word 'idealistic'."
Gui Wujiu was surprised and turned around to look.
Xuanyuan Huai smiled slightly, and a small sword came out of his sleeve.
This sword ruler is of various lengths. Although it is shaped like a sword, at first glance, it looks more like a mirror. There is a gleaming light in it, and a faint figure appears on the sword, which is as clean as new. Who is it if it's not Huang Xiyin?
Not only the characters, but also some steps of Huang Xiyin's Taoist practice, including those related to swordsmanship, are also presented.
If Gui Wujiu is familiar with Chenyang Sword Mountain, he can immediately tell that this small sword imitates the appearance of the Juntian Sword. Except for the slight difference in proportions, it is nine points similar.
Xuanyuan Huai said leisurely: "Within a thousand miles, we can see the clues of true flow. It's just that her skills are still shallow at the moment. If we want to fight, it's not the right time."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away gracefully.
not the right time yet.
Gui Wujiu also silently recited these five words in his heart.
However, what he was thinking about was not the fight between Huang Xiyin and Xuanyuan Huai, but himself.
Today's competition is actually only half completed.
Both of them had a tacit understanding of how to act in the second half, but they did not proceed after all. There was actually a hidden thought about whether to give it a try, but Xuanyuan Huai seemed to be confident that he would give it a try.
The method of escaping is just called "victory", and victory is achieved without using force.
Only when both sides are unable to retreat is the decisive moment.
…
At the same time, it was north of Donghua Jietian.
Not far away from the fight between Xuanyuan Huai and Qin Menglin, the giant needle-shaped tower, looking from a distance at this moment, seems to be difficult to call it a "needle"; to use an analogy, it is more like a candle, only slightly slender.
.
Lighted candles.
The difference is that at the top of this tower, there is an extra dazzling light, like a candle flame.
The flame on this "candle" appears orange at dawn; as the sky grows longer, it appears as dazzling gold at noon; it appears red at dusk, but becomes translucent white at midnight. It changes at any time, coinciding with the phases of day and night.
It has been in this shape for seven days and nights.
In fact, if you look closely and have a full grasp of the size of the boundary-breaking needle, you will realize how huge this so-called "flame" is!
About 20,000 to 30,000 miles away, a brocade handkerchief floated in the air.
The two people, whose bodies were as small as dust, stood side by side.
One of them was dressed in gray and black, but his skin was unusually white; while the other's face was slightly sallow. The two of them looked far into the distance, looking at the strange world-breaking tower, showing a unique tranquility and peace.
.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the man in gray robe broke the calm: "How many days are left?"
The man with sallow complexion looked at it intently and said: "About three days and nights."
He looked at it for a while and then said: "The leader of the Chimei clan may not be sitting in the tower right now. If you and I take action now, we are at least 70% sure that we can destroy this tower together with the boundary-breaking magic circle."
The man in gray robe shook his head and said: "If we do this, we will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Delaying it for three to five years is not enough."
The man with sallow complexion said: "It's not to delay the time. It's just to resolve the situation where the two sides are fighting separately."
The man in gray robe said with a smile: "Those two families are taking this opportunity to test the depth of the Holy Religion. You can't retreat, you can't retreat."
He suddenly turned around and said: "The rise and fall of the Holy Religion depends on your hands. If it succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable."
It turned out that there was another person standing a few feet behind the two of them.
This person has a very young appearance and has a cultivation level close to the Taoist realm, but he does not have the air of an immortal sect, but actually seems to be the Emperor Kong of the Shinto realm.
Hearing this, the man whispered "Yes" in a low voice, but his eyes could not hide the brilliance.
