Volume 1: A Sword from Ling Chen Chapter 13: The Blue Sea, the Sky and the Wind
The dense forest is like fog, the mountain shadows are like charm, and everything is completely silent. The sound of wind blowing through the leaves comes from time to time, stirring the heartstrings. The night is as dark as ever, covering everything.
Under a thousand-year-old tree, Baili Changkong and Baili Hanran sat cross-legged on the ground with their backs to each other, their spiritual energy lingering around them, and a faint halo appearing around them, slowly recovering from the injuries in their bodies.
Not long after, Baili Changkong slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "My heart is damaged. I can't use any strength before returning to the imperial city."
"Half of the meridians in my body were shattered. Even if it is cured, my right arm will be considered useless." Baili Hanran smiled bitterly. I am afraid that he will become a disabled person in the future.
"No - it won't happen." Baili Changkong gritted his teeth and said, "When I get back, my eldest brother will personally go to the Baicao Valley in Shennong Mountain to ask for medicine. No matter what, I will make you recover as before."
When Baili Hanran heard this, his mind moved, and Xuan sighed softly: "But can we still go back alive? How can you and I return to the imperial city now that our cultivation is completely ruined? How many people have been invited this time?
All the masters are planning something evil, brother, you are really ignorant."
Baili Changkong said with a gloomy expression: "The invitation to Uncle Xu this time was planned by my father. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big mistake. Could it be that there is a traitor?"
"Haha, His Royal Highness is indeed smart. It's a pity that you woke up too late." Mo Xun suddenly appeared ghostly in front of Baili Changkong, slowly pulled out a slender sword from the umbrella handle, and walked over.
Unexpectedly, Baili Changkong looked up to the sky and smiled, and said in a hateful voice: "I didn't expect that you were the last killer move. But before I die, can you tell me who wants to kill me and then kill me?"
Mo Xun smiled slightly and said: "I always only kill people and never ask about the identity of my employer. Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't have the answer you want to know. The moonlight is just right. Please go on your way, Prince!"
The long sword penetrated Baili Changkong's chest cleanly.
But what surprised Mo Xun was that Baili Changkong's expression did not show the slightest pain or unwillingness. Instead, there was an awe-inspiring look that he had died a well-deserved death and served a righteous cause generously.
Mo Xun took back his sword, held up an umbrella as red as blood, and said playfully: "The mission is completed, please settle the balance on time."
"Haha," Baili Hanran sneered, turned around and looked at the body lying in a pool of blood, and said expressionlessly: "He is not my good brother Baili Changkong at all, this is just a stand-in.
I really didn’t expect that he was even on guard against me, and even deliberately injured me, which was a cruel trick. Should I say that he has foresight? Or should I say that he has no brotherhood? "
"Ordinary people will turn against each other due to uneven family wealth, let alone the emperor's prince and heirs?" Mo Xun said with a half-smile. Then, he slowly disappeared into the dense forest.
Baili Hanran was indifferent for a while, then chuckled and said: "That's the case, there's no need to be polite. My good brother, prepare to accept the move."
…
On the top of a hill, Ye Ling was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His whole body was filled with aura, and he felt a sense of clarity and enlightenment. According to the technique given by the man in white, this was a breakthrough of the fourth level of innateness, and it was necessary to hone the state of mind.
Just now, Ye Ling made a sneak attack on Zhou Yu. During the battle, his state of mind was greatly opened, and he realized this level of state. According to the cultivation method, the most important thing is to cultivate the state of mind. If there is no chance, he will practice hard for ten years.
It's also a futile effort.
Wu Qing on the side looked at Ye Ling with a worried look. Behind him, two men in black stood on the left and right to protect Ye Ling.
His spiritual consciousness was clear and his mind was wide open. All the knowledge he had learned before seemed to be integrated in this moment. Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness was spread out, covering a radius of more than ten meters around the body. All activities within the range, Ye Ling,
Lingdu could detect it immediately.
If those two men in black knew that Ye Ling's consciousness could cover such a large area, they would be shocked. Because in their knowledge, there are very few people with such powerful consciousness in the Xiantian realm. Everyone's achievements
They are all at least becoming saints, kings and Buddhas.
For about a quarter of an hour, Ye Ling followed the method of the exercise, guiding the spiritual energy to travel along a specific path in the body, and finally converged in the heart veins, enlightening the mind.
To practice the Great Way, you not only need meridians that can accommodate supreme spiritual power and a body that can withstand thousands of ways, but also a mind that can move forward without mercy. Therefore, tempering the state of mind is actually the most important and the most difficult to cultivate among the four innate levels.
One weight.
Ye Ling is very talented and cultivates very quickly. It only takes less than an hour from breaking through the fourth level of innateness to achieving a perfect state of mind. Compared with those who take a few days, months or even years at most, Ye Ling
Ling's progress can only be described as terrifying.
Forging the state of mind is called forging the heart, which means to use one thing to hammer one's heart. If you choose this thing, you must stick to it for life, otherwise there will be no bones left under the great road. Ye Ling's state of mind is ethereal, and what he thinks of at this moment is that
The scene of decisive action when facing Zhou Yu.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will move forward and never retreat.
Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes, his whole body was like a sheathed sword, its edge was restrained and eye-catching.
"Now that I have cultivated the four major innate perfections, and the skills given by the man in white only go so far, I don't know what I should do next?" Xiao Jie thought to himself.
"Congratulations, second brother, for reaching the fourth level of innateness." Wu Qing smiled. He was truly happy for Ye Ling.
Ye Ling smiled at Wu Qing, turned around, and said solemnly to the two men in black: "Although you are here to save us, you should have an explanation."
The two men in black looked at each other, and one of them replied: "There is someone who doesn't want anything to happen to you, so he sent us to follow you all the way and protect him secretly."
"Can you tell us who is so considerate?" Wu Qing said with a smile. She didn't expect anyone to be so kind to her.
"Please forgive me, we don't know. We only know that he is a great man who has changed everything. We cannot know the details." The man in black paused and continued: "This is a part of Mizhou in the Daqian Dynasty.
In the Baimang Forest, the strength of the monsters in the forest is unknown. We will only ensure that the lives of the two adults are safe, and we will not take action against others. We will leave for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men in black turned around and disappeared into the woods in a few steps.
Ye Ling shook his head helplessly. These things were all happening around him, but he had no idea about them.
"Am I really just a chess piece that can be manipulated by others?" Ye Ling had mixed feelings in his heart. Now that he was separated from his eldest brother, he was in an unknown forest without knowing where to go. It was really depressing and at a loss.
Seeing Ye Ling's worried look, Wu Qing smiled and said: "Second brother has just reached the fourth level of innateness, so he should be happy. The eldest brother has such a high level of cultivation, he can fly in the sky while fighting with old Taoist priests, and he can also kill casually.
The old man in red will definitely be fine. So as long as we get out of this forest and go to the imperial city, we will definitely see my brother again."
Seeing Wu Qing's innocent smile, Ye Ling felt much better instantly. Wu Qing never thought about anything, as long as everything was safe now, he would be very happy.
Ye Ling smiled and said: "How can I be unhappy when my third brother is here? In this case, we will set off to the imperial city to find my eldest brother."
"Yeah!" Wu Qing's eyes immediately curved into the shape of a crescent moon.
…
The night was as cold as water, and the damaged flying boat still stayed quietly in mid-air.
On the deck filled with corpses, Xu Zheng put his hands behind his back and glanced at Song Dongtao's body, which was completely lifeless and only had bones left.
"Song Dongtao died so mysteriously, the Liuyun Sect will definitely come to you to ask for an explanation, and it will depend on how you end it."
In the broken cabin, Baili Changkong, dressed in a green shirt, walked over and said with a chuckle: "I didn't expect that Mo Xun would kill Song Dongtao. But if you die, you will die. If Liuyun Zong comes to ask for an explanation,
Let the old guys in the court deal with it, and at the worst possible price, you can pay for some treasures and make some favors."
"Haha," Xu Zheng sneered: "Those old stubborns will only refuse to admit their mistakes, shirk their responsibilities, and then tell the world and scold the Liuyun Sect. In the end, they will not give up until the Liuyun Sect comes to apologize."
Baili Changkong laughed and said, "They are all tricks I learned from Uncle Xu."
"Then I also taught you to be ruthless and careless about human life!" Xu Zheng turned his head, stared at the sky, and said sternly: "Just to lure out the people who want to kill you, you are willing to give up so many lives. This is you
The Confucian holy way and the heart of benevolence and righteousness that you learned? You and that old bastard of your father learned the imperial power, conspiracy and deceit, and you pretend to be a disciple of Confucianism!"
Baili Changkong gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said: "I have no harm in people's hearts, but people have the intention to kill me. Royal murders often cause trouble to Xiao Qiang. My nephew is only trying to protect himself, what's wrong with him? Even if he knows that his second brother has formed many gangs and wants to kill me.
On the other hand, I have never meant any harm to him. Even if I found out today that my sixth brother had hired me to kill me, I would have no complaints. The Crown Prince and Crown Prince are the targets of public criticism, but I only want the dynasty to be stable and the people to be well-being. Nothing I do is worth mentioning.
For my own selfish reasons, I just hope that my achievements will last forever!"
After Xu Zheng listened to Baili Changkong's impassioned speech, he was speechless. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "You can take care of yourself!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zheng stepped on the blue clouds, stepped into the air, and disappeared into the night.
Baili Changkong looked at Xu Zheng's back and said to himself: "Uncle, Changkong firmly believes in his choice. Changkong has no regrets!"
