Chapter 11 Just Want to Live a Happy Life
No matter whether Tang Jie is willing or not, he has learned the way this time.
So in the following days, besides practicing Zangxiang Sutra, Tang Jie also practiced formations with Xu Muyang. Fortunately, he just washes the pulse every day, no need to practice, and there is enough spare time.
"The way of the formation is to respond to the will of heaven with the principle of art. Therefore, if you want to master the way of the formation, you need the upper body of the heavenly heart..."
In today's class, Xu Muyang told Tang Jie about the natural evolution of formations.
According to Xu Muyang, everything in nature is God's will, and every plant and tree has its meaning of existence. Because of this, Xu Muyang's Dao of Formation pays more attention to natural evolution, and pays attention to following one's inclinations and making the best use of the situation.
That is to say, the same array can be arranged differently under different environmental backgrounds, and its effect power is also different.
Like the small rosemary array before, if it is cast in a different place, the layout method and effect will be different.
Of course, this is not necessary, but the formation in this form is the most natural and the most powerful.
For formations, nature is the best cover.
Different from cultivators, since the formations directly refer to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they are extremely powerful, and immortal cultivators will not easily step in, so formations that cannot conceal the traces of the existence of formations are not good formations, and Xu Muyang is the best in this respect. What he is good at, the large formation he arranged, before it was activated, almost no one could detect the existence of traces. The golden armored god fought with him before, and he hadn't noticed the existence of the Bamensuo heavenly formation at all. I was afraid that I would be trapped to death by the eight-door lock formation.
In addition, he is also good at observing the environment and finding what can be used.
"Looking at the mountains is not a mountain, and looking at the water is not water. Every existence in this world, if it can be used properly, can become a formation eye, formation pattern, and formation gate. People in the world are ignorant, and they often use heaven and earth spiritual materials as their base, but they are lost. It's the original intention." Xu Muyang sighed while talking.
"Brother Xu means that other people's formations are made of various spiritual materials, just like this house, which uses stones as its foundation and logs as beams to build a tall building. But your formation is built in the trees. Dig a hole, right?" Tang Jie asked.
"If you say that, it seems that the house I built is not as good as others." Xu Muyang snorted: "Using trees as a house is naturally not as good as building from materials, but what if you use the world as your house? Take mountains and rivers as your house." What do you think of the buildings built with rivers as veins?"
"That is incomparable to others, but is there such a formation?"
"Yes!" Xu Muyang replied with certainty: "If I may have doubted about it before, now I can tell you with certainty, absolutely!"
"Is it the big formation made by the Jiuli soldier master?" Tang Jie said suddenly.
Xu Muyang couldn't help being stunned, he looked at Tang Jie: "You know?"
"Well, that's not the only thing I know." Tang Jie nodded: "I also know...the golden-armored god who chased and killed you that day was from the Heavenly God Palace, right?"
Xu Muyang's whole body trembled: "How do you know all this?"
"It's not surprising." Tang Jie replied leisurely: "Kongu Mingxu's four major cultivating families, according to you, brother Xu, are well-known names in Moqiu. If it is an ordinary sect, how many people would dare to chase after them?" You? Apart from Tianshen Palace, who else would dare to chase you to the ends of the earth?"
During this period of time following Xu Muyang, Tang Jie has become more and more familiar with the situation in Qixia Realm.
In the Qixia world, there are six countries, fifty-nine prefectures, and seven seas and ninety-eight islands. Wenxin and Moqiu are each one of the six great countries.
According to the rules of the Immortal Family, one faction governs one country, and one country supports another faction. Xiyue Sect is the sect behind Wenxin Kingdom, and Tianshen Palace is the master behind Mo Qiu.
The status of these six major sects is detached, even if the king of the country meets them, he will kowtow and kneel down.
The other sects are all small sects, and they all need to rely on these six major sects to survive.
Although the Xu family is one of the four great immortal families, it is still far inferior to the Tianshen Palace. If the Tianshen Palace wants to kill Xu Muyang, who would dare to stop it?
Because of this, Tang Jie easily guessed who was chasing and killing Xu Muyang.
"So,
You also know what's going on with all this? "Xu Muyang asked.
Tang Jie smiled: "Well, the ancient mighty Jiuli soldier master, the Zangxiang Sutra for reincarnation, and the peerless array, these things can be added together to make up a story. I think it is nothing more than exploring the secret realm, the way of robbery and murder. It's not a rare thing, and the world of cultivating immortals is dangerous, brother Xu has repeatedly emphasized to me."
Xu Muyang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while, and finally laughed and said: "Okay, good boy, I shouldn't expect to be able to hide it from you. That's right, the invitation was that the Tianshen Palace discovered the Jiuli Bingzhu The land of returning to the ruins, please let me go to break the formation to explore the secrets. After all, I was naive, thinking that as a member of the Xu family, the Tianshen Palace would not follow the practice of those cunning rabbits, but I did not expect them to be cruel Ruosi, if I didn’t find out that something was wrong later and got out in time, I’m afraid I didn’t die in the Jiujue Zhuxian formation, but I would have died in the hands of the sons of the Heavenly God Palace!”
When he said this, he was filled with righteous indignation, obviously grief and indignation.
He was also taken aback when Tianshen Palace sent someone to look for him and told him that he had found the Guixu Site of the Lord of Jiuli.
The so-called return to the ruins means that people turn into nature after death, which is to return to the original source.
As a cultivator spends his whole life cultivating, he absorbs spiritual energy and steals a lot of spiritual energy from the world. Once he dies, the spiritual energy will return to its source and return to nature.
Therefore, the more powerful the immortal returns to the ruins, the more spiritual energy he can bring. For those who are powerful, the spiritual energy will condense into rain after death, and even turn the barren land into a paradise.
Therefore, there are no graves in the immortal family, and returning to the ruins is the spiritual land.
Therefore, as long as conditions permit, the disciples of the Great Immortal Family Sect will try their best to return to the sect before they die. Over time, it will create a blessed land full of aura for our school.
Half of the background of the family's great faction is reflected in this aspect.
The aura of heaven and earth within a realm has its limits, and if it grows here, it will decrease there. After a long period of time, in the same realm, the aura of each place is also different.
That's why Bei Sihai, the horse thief leader of Sihaitang, reprimanded the immortals for harming the world in order to enrich himself.
Originally there were many auras in the world, and they were everywhere, but most of them were taken up by the immortals, and ordinary people couldn't practice it even if they wanted to.
According to the Tianshen Palace, they found a land full of aura in the Tiandu Mountains. Since there was no immortal sect nearby, they suspected that there were powerful people returning to the ruins here, so they started a protracted search. In the end, they found a large formation somewhere in the mountain range, and the spiritual energy leaked from here. From the time point of view, the leakage time is not long, so it can be seen that the real spiritual place is probably even more amazing.
At the same time they found an ancient bronze mirror.
"Is that the ancient mirror you often play with?" Tang Jie exclaimed.
"That's right." Xu Muyang had already taken out the ancient bronze mirror.
This ancient book is divided into two sides, yin and yang. The yin side is engraved with birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains, rivers and veins, which are lifelike. There are dense and strange formations engraved all around. Tang Jie didn't think much at first glance. The scene shook, everything around me seemed to change, and I felt as if I was in that wonderful world and couldn't extricate myself.
Fortunately, Xu Muyang blocked the dark side in time, and Tang Jie's mind returned.
Looking at the sunny side again, it is a big "Soldier" character, surrounded by a large number of patterns.
The soldier's calligraphy was painted with silver hooks, the strokes were powerful, and there seemed to be infinite power hidden in each hook and stroke, and a chilling aura rushed towards his face, almost piercing Tang Jie.
Tang Jie yelled "Ah", and Xu Muyang quickly took back the ancient book: "Your skill is not strong enough, this thing contains the spirit of a military master, even though it has been worn down for thousands of years, the sharpness is still not something you can bear."
Tang Jie was shocked when he heard that, it was just something left by a dead person, with some of his own will, and it has become so powerful after thousands of years, if he is alive, he doesn't know how to be scary, no wonder Xu Muyang respects him so much .
"So, this is something from the Tenjin Palace?"
"That's right." Xu Muyang replied: "After finding this ancient book, after identification, Tianshen Palace decided that the soldier character on it probably represented the ancient mighty Jiuli soldier master. It's a pity that although the soldier master was mighty All over the world, there is not much news that has been handed down now, and they can only infer based on the age and the atmosphere left on it. This ancient book was hidden in a cave sealed by a formation at that time. The formation itself is very low-level, extremely It is easy to crack, but the method of maintenance is extremely clever, and it can last for hundreds of generations without being destroyed. Tianshen Palace speculates that this may be specially left by the soldier master of Jiuli for his own reincarnation. Of course, is it the soldier master, and how is the soldier master If you go, you can only guess. After all, the ancient times are too long, and many truths have long been lost in the long river of history, and everyone can only think that this is left by the military master."
"It seems that his reincarnation was not successful." Tang Jie said.
Xu Muyang smiled wryly: "If he succeeds, there will be nothing for us."
Reincarnation is a helpless choice for immortal cultivators to put their hope in the next life after their life is cut off.
After the immortal is reincarnated, all the memories of the past will disappear, and unless there is a certain chance, it will be extremely difficult to recover.
For those who are unlucky, they may not be able to restore their memory after several reincarnations, and with each reincarnation, some of the memories of the previous life will disappear. After more reincarnations, there will be no more chances.
Tianshen Palace speculates that the military master probably encountered a huge crisis that year, and chose to reincarnate out of desperation. This Jiulixuan Bingjian is the key he specially left for himself to open the treasure left behind.
However, the soldier master either failed to reincarnate, or failed to restore his memory. In short, he failed to return here to retrieve the Xuanbing Jian, and finally fell into the hands of Tianshen Palace.
Since the Xuan Bingjian is there, most of the miraculous exercises and magic weapons left by the soldier master back then are also there.
Therefore, Tianshen Palace exhausted its manpower to try to crack the big formation. It was just a test, and it didn't know how many people died before and after. It took a hundred years and still failed to achieve anything.
It happened at that time that Xu Muyang's reputation as a genius of formations sprang up, so in desperation he asked Xu Muyang to help, and promised a heavy reward.
Xu Muyang was familiar with the formation books, and recognized that it was the long-lost Jiujue Immortal Execution Formation, and deciphered the first layer of the Immortal Execution Formation according to the information left in the Xuan Bingjian, and what he got was the Tibetan Image Sutra.
It was at that time that Xu Muyang discovered that Tianshen Palace had murderous intentions towards him.
"But why do they have to kill you?" Tang Jie was very puzzled: "The Tianshen Palace family has a great career, so they shouldn't be stingy with that little effort? Besides, the formation has not yet been broken..."
Xu Muyang snorted: "Of course it's not for that little reward, but for keeping secrets. The land where the soldiers of Jiuli returned to the ruins must have abundant aura resources, even if there is nothing in it, the land itself is of great value. It is equivalent to a natural spiritual vein, but it needs to be owned for a long time to play its role. The problem is that although the Tianshen Palace has obtained military experience, Tiandu Mountain is not in the territory of Moqiu, but in the territory of Yahai and Siji. The Tianshen Palace ran to these two countries Once the news leaks out, Tianya Haige and Qianqingzong will definitely come to grab the benefits, and then there will inevitably be a fight. Tianyahaige and Qijuemen are buddies, and Qianqingzong and The Xiyue faction shared weal and woe. The Tianshen Palace was unable to support it alone, and most of them had to pull the Beast Refining Sect to help. The six major factions participated together, and the benefits lost would be great. After all, I am not from the Tianshen Palace. Restricted by the oath of the gods, relying on the oath of the heart demon alone cannot reassure them. As for not worrying about the fact that the formation is not completed, they mainly did not know how to use the Xuanbingjian. After watching me crack the secret of the military After that, my greatest use has disappeared. If they didn’t want to save some energy and borrow me to continue breaking the formation, they would have killed me at that time.”
"It turned out to be like this." Tang Jie said: "So you ran away immediately, and took the Tibetan Elephant Sutra and Xuanbing Jian along with it?"
"He is not benevolent, I am not righteous." Xu Muyang snorted: "They want to kill me, so I naturally want to take the treasure and leave. I transferred the others because of the need to break the second layer of the formation, but He Chong He is the most skilled person in Tianshen Palace. He used the name of assistant to monitor me and couldn't get rid of him. He is also good at tracking. After I took the opportunity to escape, he chased me all the way from Moqiu like a dog's skin plaster. Chased me to Cuiwei Mountain. If I hadn't tried my best to set up the eight-door lock array, I'm afraid I would die on the spot."
Speaking of this, Xu Muyang's voice also lowered.
Although He Chong was beaten away by him, he will come back sooner or later, and I'm afraid it will not be him alone, but a group of people.
His peace here will not last long after all.
"But Brother Xu, didn't you say that those who cultivate immortals have demons in their hearts, and those who go against their original intentions will have demons in their hearts? How dare they do this?"
Xu Muyang replied: "Wishes can be big or small, and demons can be strong or weak. Immortal practitioners usually make great wishes at the beginning of their practice. They are big wishes. This wish is the goal of life, and it is also the goal of the heart. In the future, we will act according to this original intention. And the great wishes of most cultivators generally do not fall into the following categories. Seeking longevity, seeking immortality; seeking vertical and horizontal, seeking hegemony; Freedom, freedom... These are all big wishes, and it is very common to give up small wishes to achieve this big wish. Just like I took you for the sake of cause and effect, but if you dare to block my way , I beheaded you with a sword at that time, and it was not against my heart. Even if I couldn't bear it, that little devil is much easier to deal with than the supreme demon brought by violating my wish."
"So that's the case, can there be only one great wish? Or can there be many?" Tang Jie asked.
"Well..." Xu Muyang was stunned by his question, and thought for a while before answering: "I haven't heard that there are restrictions, but although the great wish is the foundation of cultivating Tianxin, it is also a resistance to cultivating the Tao. Usually there will be no Who makes too many ambitions? It’s you, if you want to achieve true results, you also need to make ambitions and establish a foundation of heart. This is why I asked you why you want to cultivate immortals. It’s a pity that the answer you gave me at the beginning , not between the above. Now, let me ask you again, what exactly are you looking for in cultivating immortals?"
What exactly are you asking for?
This question stumped Tang Jie.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and replied, "I cultivate immortality. I don't want to be famous and admired by the world. I don't want to live the same life as the world and live forever. Life is always born and extinguished. It is good to live a wonderful life in my lifetime. I hope In the future, I will be able to indulge the world and enjoy this life, so I only ask..."
Tang Jie paused for a moment, and finally replied with firm words:
"Great happiness, great freedom!"
