Chapter 13: Xuanwu
The former name of Jiang Tianyang, and the Taoist name is Miaohua. Since I can remember, I don’t remember what his parents were like. I only knew that the surname was Jiang, and I made a living by begging and ate hundreds of families. So he named himself Tianyang. Later, he met his master, and his master named him Miaohua. After his master died, he continued his master’s treasure, the Lotus Bowl. When his Taoist practice surpassed his own master before his death, he saw this mountain. It was half cliff, with no vitality, and half earthy mountain, lush and green.
He was surprised in his heart that his observation was very consistent with the artistic conception of the "Story of Reincarnation and Reincarnation" he had practiced, so he built a house that looked like a temple and was living in seclusion here, devoted himself to practicing. However, he could not change the method of practice. He suffered a disaster ten years ago and destroyed his body. However, this also allowed him to integrate the "Story of Reincarnation and Reincarnation" after changing his practice method. There was a magical power brewing in his heart, from at least five years to ten years, and he would definitely succeed.
But at this time, Yi Yan came to the door. He looked at Yi Yan who was heading away in the other direction and felt uneasy for no reason. This uneasiness was the same as the throbbing when he lost his body and was almost dead.
His eyes looked along every inch of the mountain. The grass, trees, insects and beasts became his eyes. In just a moment, the entire mountain was in his heart, and every wisp of wind in the mountain filled his will.
At this moment, he saw a flame rushing up from the foot of the mountain, and he clearly felt the spirit power condensed by the evil energy of his temple.
He was slightly shocked, and it felt like he was burning his body. As his mind moved, a roar sound came from the valley, as if a wave of several feet high surged, capsizing towards the flame at the foot of the mountain, and the wave was filled with anger.
It pounced down like a giant palm, as if it was about to press the flame into nothingness.
However, the flame turned into a huge black turtle. The black turtle was in the color of flames and opened its mouth and roared at the evil wave. A huge sound seemed to appear silently. The evil wave dissipated in the roar of the black turtle.
No matter who casts the magic, his own divine will, is contained. When a person's will is strong to the extreme, he can break through the will of the Qing Dynasty and become the path of the earthly immortals. This Qing Dynasty and the earth cannot bind him.
And the evil wave just now was that his will was defeated.
He was shocked. In his opinion, he had been practicing for nearly two hundred years, and Yi Yan's practice had only been a few years. Even if he had a treasure like the soul-capturing demon eyes and protected by evil soldiers, how could he be his opponent? What's more, he was going to invade his temple.
However, he did not expect that those evil soldiers and Yi Yan had the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was like a sharp sword on Yi Yan, controlled and applied by him.
He has long known the origin of Yi Yan, despite his surprise, despite his short practice of practicing, "Although this man's practice is short, he has not had any magic power to practice. However, he has excellent talent for the integration and control of the heaven and earth Dharma and mind."
He was sure that even if many people who had practiced for decades and Yi Yan entered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together, they might not be able to control the will of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom so naturally as he did, and they might not be able to be as round as he did.
Although he was surprised by Yi Yan's growth, he did not think that he would be no opponent. A person can hold a giant hammer, but he can't hold it for a day and can get a peerless blade. If he wants to swing his invincible sword move, it depends on whether his will can bear it.
Although Jiang Gong could not bear the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a double-edged sword, and it was impossible for Yi Yan to drive it infinitely.
Suddenly, the curse sounds in the mountains were shaking, like water spirit ripples. Every time the vibration was shaking, it was like a sword stinging towards the flames that were constantly rushing towards the top of the mountain. Suddenly, an ancient tree suddenly shook, and two holes cracked on its stairs turned into eyes, and a mouth turned into arise.
His root suddenly broke free from the soil, turned into feet, and two huge branches turned into hands, stride towards the flame where Yi Yan was. It was an ancient tree that was lit open by the spirit. The ancient tree in the mountain stood still for hundreds of years and had gathered some consciousness.
Another black bear with hair like a steel needle suddenly climbed out of the hole and looked down the mountain. There was a throbbing in its heart. The throbbing made him restless. Suddenly, it roared to the sky and rushed down the mountain.
A pangolin drilled out of the soil, and his eyes were glowing red, and a nest of mice surged out of the cave.
All things have spirits and all things have wills because they exist. They live in their form. Plants, trees, flowers, birds, insects and beasts all come towards Yi Yan.
If the will of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will erase him like a vast sea, boundless and endless, making him unable to see it, then now this is a pouring rain, splashing on his face, accompanied by the strong wind, making people breathless.
Yi Yan felt this way now. He heard countless screams, fear, anger, pain, and curses in his ears. Although he often heard that all things have spirits, he even saw such words in various classics. However, he had never personally sensed the spirits of all things.
The demonic beauty did not count. These plants and trees all burst out with strong hostility, and their fragile and crazy will surged towards Yi Yan.
Although they are fragile, this madness is enough to make people feel heartbroken.
A battle is like experiencing a disaster.
Yi Yan suddenly had an illusion that he felt that he was massacring unarmed people, smashing their houses and burning them together with the houses.
An angry man raised the farm tools in his hand and rushed over, but it was already burning before he rushed to his side. They wailed, cursed, they were angry, they mocked, they wanted Yi Yan's life, their body had been destroyed, but their will before death was to want Yi Yan's life.
Zhongqing stabbed the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was a deer. This was a herbivorous animal. When he met someone, he was afraid of it. However, he rushed towards them like crazy. Zhongqing shot it through with a shot. However, when he saw the crazy murderous intent in the eyes of the deer, he felt inexplicably cold in his heart.
He has killed many people. Although he is not numb, he is still accustomed to his habits and will no longer feel fear or anxiety. At this time, he suddenly appears, just like he killed someone on the battlefield for the first time. He shook his head, drove away this feeling, shook the spear, shake off the corpse of the deer, and then pulled the weeds with the gun and walked towards the mountain.
Since Hong Xiuquan was named king in Yong'an City, Zhongqing has never felt frightened again when he went out to fight the enemy again. The feeling of dying at any time is gone. During the Jintian Uprising, when he went to the battlefield, he always felt a sense of fear entangled in his heart. He thought that he was no longer afraid after he had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he didn't know that this was because Yong'an was named king. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was officially established, the pressure from the Qing Dynasty was blocked by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
An unknown bird rushed down with a shrill sound, and an arrow shot it. The moment it shot, a flame suddenly ignited the body of the unknown bird.
Zhong Qing glanced at Jiao Weizi beside him. He never called Jiao Weizi blind. In his heart, no one's eyes were clearer than Jiao Weizi, so he called Jiao Weizi uncle Jiao. At this time, he also felt a hint of solemnity and vigilance on his face.
At this moment, Zhongqing's voice came to Yi Yan's voice.
"The thing that a practitioner is stronger than an ordinary person is not magical power, but magical power, but the mind. If you cannot overcome all kinds of distracting thoughts in your heart, even if you have thousands of magical powers and magical powers, it is just like having a wealth of wealth without a little life, and longevity is just false. When you feel fear, this is the shaking of your mind. If you have the intention to practice, you must overcome the thoughts in your heart. Are you killing an animal now and pushing a ball of grass and feeling cold up to your heart? That is just the spell of the owner of this mountain. He attacks you directly through the thoughts of plants and animals. If you cannot follow it, you will die in this mountain. If you are afraid, your mind will be weak, your mind will be weak, and your heart will be weak, and your heart will be weak, and there will be magic and magic to invade."
Since they engraved the talisman seal, they thought that one day they could practice and after they had evil magic on their bodies, their wishes were even stronger. After hearing Yi Yan's words, they all felt aroused in their hearts and immediately woke up. It turned out that they had been hit by magic.
"Keep the will of the gods and not be moved by external things." Yi Yan's words rang out again.
"I dare to ask sir, I don't know how to keep my divine will." The person who asked was Dong Qingshan, and his words were obviously what the evil soldiers wanted to ask in their hearts.
"It's hard to explain it in a short time, but I have a way to prevent you from being invaded by external aspirations." Yi Yan said this, paused slightly, and then quickly continued: "You are thinking in your heart why you have entered the Taitian Army and the purpose of joining the Taiping Army." Then he suddenly shouted loudly: "For the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, kill."
With Yi Yan's whistle, the general standing in front of the temple gate at the top of the mountain heard a following: "Kill for the sake of heaven."
As the sound rang out, murderous intent rolled up.
The original shapeless cloud of fire turned into a giant tortoise burning with flames in an instant, and the giant ** had hideous horns. The flames were not fiery red or white, but were covered with red light in gray. It was the sun essence fire dyed gray by the resentment and killing aura in the hearts of the evil soldiers.
The turtle's back is surging gray and red flames, but you can see the golden patterns in it. It looks mysterious and mysterious at first glance. The turtle has a tail like a snake, and the snake's head seems to have eyes closed.
When the general standing on the top of the mountain saw this scene, he was shocked and couldn't help but murmured: "The horns of the turtle are born, like dragon heads. This is the will of the evil soldiers, the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The tails of the turtle are like snakes, and their eyes are closed. That is the will of this easy-to-speak. It is incredible that he can transform into Xuanwu by combining the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and his own will."
In just a blink of an eye, wherever the Xuanwu, with black flames burning all over his body, was wailing, and the grass forest burned, and no matter what was thrown into it, it instantly turned into ashes.
I saw a charred road up to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain. I encountered stones and stones, and I encountered a stream and passed a stream. When I saw trees turned into ashes, there were steep places that were difficult for people to walk onto the ground. The black turtle was like walking on flat ground. In just a moment, I came to the top of the mountain, and in front of the Jianggong Temple.
The general looked at the burning black flames in front of him, feeling the fierce evil that he had to choose people at any time, and his mind was captured by it, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Yi Yan came here just to borrow the treasures in the hands of the general for ten years. Once the time comes, he will definitely return them. If he can come to find me during these ten years, I will not postpone it."
The tail of the Xuanwu giant tortoise, which exudes a fierce aura, was raised high, and the two cracks on the tail were closed tightly. However, he felt like he was staring at it, feeling that he was extremely small. As long as he said no, the entire temple would collapse and die. He understood that this was his own mind and will have taken over.
He was also a decisive person. When Yi Yan's words fell, he wiped the treasure-spectrum lotus bowl in his hand. The originally bright light on the treasure-spectrum lotus bowl instantly dimmed. He threw it at the Xuanwu giant tortoise in front of the temple. The bowl was still in the air. He saw a mouth of the Xuanwu giant tortoise and the bowl was swallowed.
"This is the sacrificial formula."
The gentleman was also simply. After he threw the bowl out, it was a stroke of the void. A sacrificial technique appeared. In a blink of an eye, a long and mysterious text floated in the void. With his slight shout, the sacrificial technique turned into a ray of spiritual light and shot towards the Xuanwu giant turtle, which was still swallowing it open.
"Thank you."
The giant Xuanwu turtle opened its mouth and said, "After returning the same path, he did not destroy any grass or tree in the mountains."
When the Jiang Gong looked at the giant Xuanwu turtle that was leaving without any haste, he felt a sense of unfathomableness towards Yi Yan. In his opinion, it was extremely difficult for Yi Yan to control the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with his own soul will. Not only did he control it, but he was also transforming into Xuanwu.
The ancient spiritual beasts between heaven and earth contain laws, so how can they easily transform into illusions? If they do not understand their true meaning, they are just a trick of blindness or illusory appearance, which will make the Duke feel a trace of mystery from the golden pattern on the back of the Xuanwu. Could it be that he has already obtained the true meaning of the Xuanwu?
Amid his surprise, Yi Yan brought more than 500 evil soldiers back to the place where the women and children who had left behind were stationed.
He let the evil soldiers disperse and after taking care of the various places, he sat down under the big tree at the center.
They had been in this place for three days and built a simple camp. The evil soldiers were scattered around, all communicating their experience of attacking the General Gongling just now. At that time, their will seemed to be transformed into one and merged together. Only one thought was to kill all the enemies, and they felt that they were extremely powerful.
When they passed the stream, they crossed over like that without thinking. When they climbed the steep slope, they could also be as flat as if they were covered with flatness. There was no special feeling at that time. Looking back now, that state was like nothing else in the world or underground to stop footsteps. This feeling made them feel endlessly. As they thought about it, someone said, "I really want to do it again."
"yes."
"It's a pity that the general was scared in the end. I really wanted to rush over and push him and the people and the temple."
"Ah, I also feel this way. If I do that, it will be very happy. Master Fu is a kind person, and he says that borrowing is borrowing. If he gets kindness, he must rob it directly."
"You don't want to die anymore. If this is passed to Master Meng Fu, you won't die." Someone quickly warned.
The speaker immediately shrank his neck and looked around carefully, and said stubbornly: "I'm right, he doesn't know how many other people's magic weapons he has stolen. This is what everyone knows."
"No matter what, we can't talk about the talisman masters." The person who spoke was an older evil soldier. The one who was young before was not experienced enough, and he couldn't hide his words in his heart.
However, no matter what, this time they tasted the feeling of the Dharma intention for the first time. For a evil soldier, the feeling of the Dharma intention stirring in his heart is extremely tempting.
Yi Yan sat there, and he was also savoring the feeling of integrating Taiping will with his own will. When the resentment and killing aura burst out from the hearts of the evil soldiers merged into the sun's essence fire, it was like fire taking advantage of the wind, and these things were condensed into Xuanwu by his own fusion of the soul.
He did not want to condense into Xuanwu in his heart, it was like it was natural, just like the depths of his turtle soul contained Xuanwu's will.
He sat there experiencing, looking back, thinking about the artistic conception, and sedimenting it in his heart. The thrillingness that was difficult to control the will of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before condensed into Xuanwu will also echoed in his heart. However, he finally insisted on it, and the end was endless magical inspiration in his heart.
This one was a night. When the sun jumped out of the horizon the next day, his eyes opened. The quiet enlightenment of the night made him firmly engrave that feeling in his heart and no longer forget it.
In the distance, a man was strode in the sun. Every step he took seemed to gather flames, as fast as a galloping horse, and a long-handled sword in his hand was unsheathed. He was Li Xiucheng, who was ordered by Yi Yan to find Hong Xiuquan's main army.
Not far behind him, a team of people appeared, and they were chasing Li Xiucheng tightly, which was the Qing army.
The evil soldiers stood up in an instant, then quickly formed the formation. Looking from the sky, they looked like an old turtle lying on the ground.
Yi Yan also stood up slowly, took one step, walked through the evil soldiers, and appeared in the front.
All the Qing soldiers appeared, with a total of about 700 people, all of which were evil soldiers. Most of them were evil soldiers engraved with three talisman seals. A small number of them were engraved with four talisman seals. The first one was a monk wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe, and he stepped on a yellow tiger. However, it only seemed to be slowly walking step by step, but the evil soldiers behind him had to run strode to keep up. Li Xiucheng, who was running as fast as a galloping horse, could not get rid of it, and he was always a little far apart.
It is obvious that this Taoist priest did not come for Li Xiucheng, but came for Yi Yan.
They stopped and stopped a hundred steps in front of the village where Yi Yan was. Li Xiucheng ran to Yi Yan and said breathlessly: "They chased me for a day and a night. I didn't want to come back, but I saw that their evil soldiers were not stronger than us, so I ran back."
Li Xiucheng seemed afraid of being punished by Yi Yan because he attracted the enemy.
Yi Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Haha, it doesn't matter. It's really not a strong enemy. If you encounter an enemy outside in the future, don't be afraid of anything. Just run back. As long as I am here, you can protect you from peace."
He said to other evil soldiers afterwards. When he finished speaking, he replied at the same time: "Yes."
Li Qingshan was in it, and he did not answer. He thought in his heart that this was Yi Yan's act of buying people's hearts, but whether it was a bribe or not, it was always much better than other talisman masters.
