Chapter 1034 Relics of the Former Dynasty (1)
He Suqiu's answer not only surprised Xu Changqing, but also made Huo Cheng completely unexpected. He looked at He Suqiu with a stunned look on his face. After a long time, he closed his mouth and said, "Are you crazy? You agree to such a request?"
He Suqiu raised his hand to signal his friend to be calm, and then wrote to the table: "If Senior Xu really has malicious intentions towards us, do you think he will take action and how likely we will win?"
Seeing this passage, Huo Cheng was silent. Although Xu Changqing had not taken action officially, the power he had leaked slightly made Huo Cheng feel irresistible, and the answer to this question was naturally self-evident.
At this time, He Suqiu made a gesture of inviting Xu Changqing, closed his eyes slightly, letting go of all the magical restrictions on his body, and a stream of human and ghostly aura emanated from him, causing the vibration of Zhong Kui's painting to be placed, as if the scroll would fly out by itself.
Seeing that He Huqiu cooperated so much, Xu Changqing naturally did not feel pretentious. He directly let go of his spiritual thoughts and rushed into He Huqiu's soul. Then, under the guidance of He Huqiu, he easily found everything He Huqiu saw when he went to the inner mountain gate of the Immortal Buddha's Authentic Sect.
As I asked and said, all the scenes he saw were ruins, and the destruction of all buildings was not done by external forces. Judging from the damage, it was more like the damage caused by natural decay formed after a long period of time. What's even more strange is that there were no living or dead people in those places, but from the details of the wardrobe that turned into gray clothes, rice cookers that were not opened on the stove, etc., it can be seen that someone had lived here once. However, the people living here seemed to have walked very suddenly, and they all decided to leave at the same time, and did not pack anything.
As He Suqiu experienced there, Xu Changqing came to the Sutra Library at the mountain gate of the sects. A large amount of paper dust was scattered among the ruins in front of him. It seemed that the books here should have been corroded to the point that they were all dust. Only a few magic weapons stored here were preserved, but these magic weapons were all broken without exception. The two lamps should be the two best preserved of all treasures.
Xu Changqing only looked at the inner mountain gate of the Immortal Buddha that He Suqiu had visited. He then pulled out his divine thoughts from He Suqiu's soul. Although he had been in his divine memory for a long time, it was only a moment in the outside world. Even Huo Cheng did not realize that the matter was over.
"Don't you start yet?" Huo Cheng, who was confused, asked in confusion when he saw Xu Changqing without any spell casting.
"It's over." He Suqiu then sealed his soul of release again, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, and then wrote on the table.
Huo Cheng looked at Xu Changqing with a shocked look and said in surprise: "What? It's over? When will the method be imposed?"
No wonder Huo Cheng was so surprised. When He Huoqiu let go of the soul ban, he put his hand on the stone tablet on his neck and stared at Xu Changqing with all his attention, preparing to immediately stop Xu Changqing when he felt something was wrong with Xu Changqing's spell casting. Even though he knew that his cultivation might not be comparable to Xu Changqing, he had no intention of retreating. But he never thought that he had just been ready here and that there was already over. Not to mention discovering Xu Changqing's spell casting technique, he didn't even know whether Xu Changqing had magical aura. At this moment, he truly realized the gap in strength between himself and Xu Changqing, and completely believed that the person who looked like a young man in front of him was Xu Changqing, the legendary heretic No. 1 person.
At this time, Huo Cheng was shocked and couldn't help but feel curiosity in his heart. He asked in a daze: "Aren't you dead?"
Although Huo Cheng asked similar questions when he was in the church, his current state of mind was completely different compared to that time. Although his words were rude, his tone became much more respectful. After all, among the left and right paths of the side, Xu Changqing, an idle man from the Nine-Rank, was always a mountain that could only be looked up to. Even the Red Yang Taoist people in all generations were extremely disgusted with the Nine-Rank lineage. But he had to admit that Xu Changqing was always at the top of the world of cultivation back then, and he really fought for the left and right path of the side.
When Huo Cheng was learning art, he had already entered the Dharma-Ending World of Practice. After experiencing the great event of Kunlun Tongtian Immortal Sect, the strong people with a little strength in the world either died on the road or their whereabouts were unknown, and the rest could not be retreated. However, those who practiced in the secular world had experienced many years of war, death, and escape, and the remaining people could count the ten fingers. Although the previous generation of Hongyang Taoist did not experience the last prosperous era in the practice world, as a bystander, he had seen many almost legendary deeds. In his later years, like other old people, he also liked to recall the past, and Huo Cheng, who was not old at that time, became the object of his recount.
Although the previous generation of Hongyang Taoist talked about many past events in the world of cultivation, Xu Changqing occupied most of them, because Hongyang Taoist has always used the ninth-rate idle people as the target of catching up, and attached great importance to the news about ninth-rate idle people in history, and collected a complete set of information. Xu Changqing, who was respected as the number one heretic, was even more important.
After Xu Changqing traveled west to the underworld, everything in the world was cut off. Because the Nine-Rank Line had a well-known life span, many people thought that Xu Changqing was dead. After that, Kunlun had two realms that led to the upper realm of fairyland. All the immortals, Buddhas and demons in the cultivation world rushed there, and countless battles occurred in the middle. It can be said that it was the biggest change in the cultivation world after Liu Bowen killed the dragon. However, in such a big change, Xu Changqing did not appear. Instead, his disciples, the Huang brothers and sisters, became one of the top people in the cultivation world. Therefore, the subsequent cultivation world has almost confirmed that Xu Changqing is dead.
At that time, the Taoist Hongyang told Huo Cheng about Xu Changqing's past, just to let Huo Cheng know who his opponent was and give him a goal to strive for. Not to mention Taoist Hongyang, even Huo Cheng himself did not expect that after listening to Xu Changqing's past over and over again, Huo Cheng subtly regarded Xu Changqing as an object of respect. Even though the disgusting instinct formed by years of admonition made him very hostile to the lineage of Jiuli Yi Ren, some tone and other subtle behaviors that inadvertently revealed his mentality.
Xu Changqing was not angry at Huo Cheng's almost rude questioning. His thoughts were more on the scene he had just seen in He Suoqiu's memory. Huo Cheng was about to ask again, but he was pulled by He Suoqiu, who had returned to normal, and he signaled him not to ask more questions.
After a while, Xu Changqing frowned slightly, looked at He Suqiu, and asked slowly: "Where is the blessed land in the cave heaven? There is no such thing as the blessed land in the inner mountain gate."
When Xu Changqing finished speaking, He Suqiu raised his hand and wrote: "The earth veins are broken, the spiritual energy is gone, and the blessings of the caves have disappeared." As he wrote, he paused for a moment and continued: "Maybe I have insufficient cultivation and cannot find the entrance. If I go, maybe..."
"No need! It doesn't matter whether those blessings or not exist in the world or not." Before he could finish writing, Xu Changqing interrupted He Suqiu's next words, and then sighed slightly, as if he was sighing for the disappearance of the sects of the practice world that had been passed down for thousands of years. After sighing, he saw him put the two inheritance lamps of the Immortal and Buddha Sect back into the box and pushed them back in front of He Suqiu, saying: "I don't need these two things."
He Suqiu frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he had collected a lot of good things through this official identity in recent years through this campaign to break the four olds, in his opinion, the best of all the things he collected were these two inheritance lanterns. Now Xu Changqing returned the things, indicating that he was not satisfied with these two things. He really couldn't think of any better things he could use as an exchange.
Just when He Suqiu was a little worried, Xu Changqing held the box that Zhong Kui painted in his hand and said, "This treasure plus what I saw from your memory is enough."
As he spoke, he saw Xu Changqing raise his hand and pointing to He Suqiu's forehead. A divine thought penetrated into his sea of consciousness, easily breaking through various restrictions on his soul, integrating into his soul, forming a memory of a complete Taoist method.
After the initial panic, He Suoqiu quickly adapted to the impact of external memories that surged like a fountain. He endured the faint pain deep in his soul, couldn't wait to sort out these chaotic memories, quickly sorted out a clue, and roughly browsed the entire method.
With He Xuqiu's eyesight, he could naturally see that this liberation method is very clever, even beyond all the Taoist methods he had seen in the past. Even if he did not regard it as a follow-up method of the Yankou method, this liberation method is also a complete method of practicing the soul and cultivating the soul. The only regret is that this Taoist method was not tailor-made according to his situation, and it was obvious that when the nine-rate idle people created this method, they were more based on deductions. No one who had truly practiced the Yankou method as a reference object. There were many places that conflicted with the Yankou method. If you want to practice this method, you still need to improve it according to your own situation.
Although the method passed by Xu Changqing failed to achieve perfection, this was the best result for He Huqiu, far beyond his expectations. He believed that as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to get rid of his current state of half-human and half-ghost after practicing this method. As for whether to reborn again and restore his human body, or to further concentrate on spiritual souls, rely on external objects, and turn into earth-bound spirit gods, it can only depend on his own choice.
