Chapter 519: Taotie

Void City, suburban manor.

From time to time, a cool night breeze blew, bringing a light and moist breath.

The bamboo forest in front of the door rustled.

Occasionally, a few insects chirped in it.

But it made the night even quieter.

At this moment, a shadow loomed, and ripples appeared in the void.

She was about to knock on the door, but she stopped without warning just after stepping on the first step.

The door in front of her quietly opened, and a girl in black clothes and black skirt came out, bowing slightly.

"Sir has already known that the senior has arrived, and is waiting for him in the Green Bamboo Garden."

She turned her eyes away from the girl, looked at the beautiful scenery under the soft light, and followed slowly into the manor.

The door slowly closed, leaving the dark outside, and only inside the manor could you enjoy the light and warmth.

Passing by the splendid garden, passing through the pavilions and towers, she finally came to a courtyard shaded by green bamboo.

There is a small pavilion in the courtyard.

There was a table and a chair in the pavilion.

A young man in casual clothes was sitting there, refilling the porcelain cup in front of him with tea.

In addition, there were two plates on the table, which were not filled with dishes, but neatly arranged top-quality soul crystals.

They emitted a hazy glow under the soft light.

When Qingming led people to the courtyard, he just filled two teacups and turned to look over with a smile on his face.

"Things in the world are causal and cyclical, and there seems to be a destiny. Senior, you have come from afar, perhaps it is the cause you planted back then that has borne the fruit of meeting here today."

She bowed slightly, "Senior, I don't deserve it. Since you have been to the City of Darkness, just call me Darkness."

Wei Tao pointed to the stone bench opposite, "My last name is Wei, and my given name is Tao. I can only be regarded as an unknown little person. Senior You'an should not have heard of my name.

But as the senior said, the name is not important. What really matters is what I can bring to Senior You'an, and what the senior can bring to me."

She sat down slowly on the stone bench, "I left a set of skills for your spirit, which is the path of cultivation I took after the fusion of my soul and flesh. When I practice it deeply, I can vibrate the void with my body, and even form time and space turbulence."

Wei Tao did not comment on this. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "I know that Senior You'an is a yang spirit, and he is deeply tied to the realm of Taixu. The shuttle must have paid a considerable price to come here.

So after sensing the breath of the senior, I specially prepared soul crystals for you, which may have a certain degree of tonic effect. "

She looked up at the starry sky and sighed secretly again, "Mr. Wei has a sharp eye. He can see the influence of the Taixu Realm on me at a glance, and he can accurately sense it even from such a long distance."

Wei Tao waved his hand, "Senior You'an is too kind. I don't have this ability at all. I just made a judgment based on one example."

"Judgment based on one example?"

"Yes, the remnant of the True Lord who came with great momentum is really delicious. "

His throat surged unconsciously, as if he was still savoring the deliciousness at that time, "It was also during the meal that I found that in the situation like the senior, even if he left the Taixu Realm, it is difficult to get rid of the influence it brings."

You'an was stunned, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even say a word.

Her face changed, her figure flickered, and she even had the urge to turn around and leave.

Wei Tao, however, didn't care at all. He pointed at the soul crystal in front of him and said, "Senior, please eat this. This is a tonic I prepared for you. It should be very good for your Yang Shen's recovery."

You'an picked up a soul crystal and didn't eat it. The crystal core, which originally emitted a faint light, dimmed and was no longer as crystal clear as before.

She nodded slowly, "It is indeed a very good thing. Even compared with the Mingshen Lingguo in the real world, the effect of nourishing the true spirit and soul is not far behind."

Wei Tao put a plate of soul crystals directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it directly, "Senior You'an, if you think it's good, I can choose the best ones and give you more when the next batch of soul crystals arrive."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Wei for his kindness."

She nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment and continued, "Mr. Wei, about the specific location of the Dark City..."

Wei Tao took a sip of the teacup, savoring the rich fragrance between his lips and teeth.

Hearing this, he just shook his head slowly.

"Not enough."

"What does Mr. Wei mean?"

"My meaning is very clear. Senior You'an wants to retrieve the remains, but he only takes out a practice method that is easy to get started with but difficult to go deep into. The reward he paid is far from enough."

Wei Tao sipped the tea bit by bit, closed his eyes and sighed, "Helping the senior return to You'an City, although this matter is not particularly simple for me, it is not as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But things can't be seen in this way. After all, this is a matter of life and death for the senior. At least you have to show me enough sincerity, so that I can really start from your perspective and handle all the details in a thoughtful and appropriate manner."

She was silent for a long time, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Mr. Wei is right. The law of heaven and earth is simple to learn at the beginning, but if you want to really go deep into a higher level, you need to cooperate with another set of practice methods, so that you can support the increasingly terrifying huge consumption."

Speaking of this, she slowly spread out her palm, and a black hole vortex was suspended on it, looming under the watery moonlight, slowly rotating.

There were also countless tiny runes, like star sand in it.

As the vortex turned, it flickered, turning into a complex and changing pattern.

It was like a vague and ferocious beast, wandering and flying in the vortex.

Wei Taozi observed, and after a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a familiar scene quietly emerged in his mind.

"It has a strange appearance, with a head but no body. It eats people but does not swallow them, and then harms itself."

He closed his eyes and said slowly with emotion, "If I am not mistaken, what Senior You'an showed should be the true meaning of the mysterious thoughts transformed by the Taotie cloud pattern."

"Yes, I followed Venerable Brahma in the real world and tried to open up the path of practicing the law of heaven and earth with him. At the beginning, everything went smoothly, but the more I went, the more thorns I encountered. It was so difficult to break the boundary.

At the beginning, I thought of many ways, but none of them worked. It was not until I accidentally saw the incomplete real body of Taotie that I had a flash of inspiration and created a method to assist in practice."

"Venerable Brahma..."

Wei Tao was slightly startled, "This name can't help but make people think about it, and some long-lost memories also come to mind. Then it came into my mind. "

"So, where did this Brahma Venerable go later?"

She lowered her eyes, sighed and shook her head, "I don't know where Teacher Brahma went, but after experiencing so many great destructions and disasters, he should have died long ago."

"After the real world was broken, the Venerable and I wandered in the void, hibernating and slowly recovering ourselves, while also avoiding the hunting and killing of the remaining ancient gods and holy spirits. It was not easy to hide from here and there.

Then before the second great destruction came, we were found by the ancient god Wuxiang, who wanted to hunt and devour us to replenish ourselves. Teacher Brahma took the initiative to lead him away, and since then we have completely lost contact with each other..."

Wei Tao listened silently, stretched out his hand to take the vortex that manifested the true meaning of Taotie, placed it in his palm, and observed it more closely.

Time passed little by little.

The clouds above gradually gathered, and hazy raindrops floated in the air.

You'an didn't say anything else, just sat there quietly, picking up a soul crystal from time to time and slowly absorbing it.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound without any warning.

The soul crystal that she had just taken broke into pieces.

She seemed unaware of this, and looked up with a serious expression.

Late at night, in the pavilion, in the rain.

Everything was so peaceful and quiet.

But in her perception, it was a completely different scene.

Bang! ! !

Although she was not completely physical, she seemed to be hit head-on by a sledgehammer, and her whole body suddenly leaned back.

Even her figure instantly became much more illusory.

"It's so fast that you have mastered the Heaven-Swallowing Secret that I just inherited, and even condensed such a pure Taotie true meaning."

"However, it is not the case that the faster you comprehend the Taotie true meaning, the better. If you comprehend the Taotie true meaning too fast, it is very likely to affect your own spirit, and the Taotie true meaning will take over and devour your true spirit and soul..."

"No, that's not right. The Taotie true meaning is so quiet, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the common sense I know."

"It's still not right. The Taotie true meaning is not quiet, but suppressed."

"What kind of means can you use to quickly improve while holding the true meaning still?"

"Huh!? What is that!?"

You'an's mind flashed with thoughts, and she subconsciously narrowed her eyes, staring at the dark void opposite the stone table.

For a moment, she even thought she was dazzled.

Although she knew that she was originally in the form of a Yang God, and all her perceptions came from the residual true spirit, so it was impossible for her to be dazzled, but what happened in front of her was too unbelievable, so she had such a strange idea.

"The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Teng Snake and the Ghost Chariot, and perhaps the phantom of the sacred tree, the Taotie true meaning is one against seven, even if he improves faster, he can only be pressed to the ground and bullied at will."

"In this way, he really doesn't have to be as cautious as I am, for fear of being too fast and losing control."

After another period of time, Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, picked up the already cooled spiritual tea and drank it all.

Then he exclaimed, "Senior You'an is indeed amazing. He has deeply understood the two words "chengzhu" in "chengzhuhuokong", and then he has opened up a new path based on this, pushing the path of practicing the law of heaven and earth in the immortal body to a deeper level.

The secret of swallowing the sky is mainly about eating, and the law of heaven and earth is mainly about growing. The more you eat, the better you absorb, and the faster you grow. It is really a refreshing practice method."

When You'an heard this, he was about to say something, but he stopped abruptly when the words came to his lips.

She seemed a little unconvinced and felt deeply again.

In the end, she had to confirm that in the short time when the two were talking, the person opposite had made progress again.

And it was not a small progress.

It was a big progress that soared straight up.

What surprised her even more was that this improvement had no tendency to stop, as if it was unobstructed all the way, and there were no nodes and barriers at all.

Even during this period, he could chat with her casually while drinking tea.

It seemed that practicing this method was as easy and natural as breathing.

"This kind of talent is like the Son of Destiny in the real world, or even more incredible than the Son of Destiny."

She sighed secretly, and couldn't help but recall her past thorns, and for a moment she couldn't help but be a little stupid.

Suddenly, without any sign, the whole pavilion trembled violently.

The park town and the shadow of the sacred tree flashed by.

In an instant, thunder rumbled, shaking the void.

It dispersed the clouds above, allowing the light of the stars and the moon to reappear in the floating city.

The true meaning of the seven spirits came down again.

Surrounding the figure sitting still, the murderous intent was cold and heavy.

"You don't know how to live or die!"

"Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for grinding your bones and ashes, chewing you up and swallowing you."

Wei Tao opened his eyes and slowly got up from the stone bench where he was sitting.

"Ling Xuan."

"I'm here, please give me your orders, Vice President."

"Notify the meeting room and ask them to open the Eye of the Void teleportation array. I'm going to travel through it."

"Now remember the specific information of the landmark, then take my token and go to the hunting ground in the lower realm as quickly as possible to get something for me."

Ling Xuan took the order and did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

"Are you going to the world where the spirit is?"

You'an saw a few clues and couldn't help but say, "There is a deep connection between that place and the realm of Taixu. Since the real world was broken, the realm of Taixu has fallen into an unknown danger. Mr. Wei had better think twice before acting."

"Qingming, go and arrange things for Senior You'an."

Wei Tao turned around and gave an order, then turned and walked out of the pavilion, "Thank you Senior You'an for reminding me, but I have to go this time. Even if I'm trapped and can't get out, I have to kill the damned people first."

……………………

…………………………

Death is like the wind, following like a shadow.

The source of danger is unknown and invisible.

There was no sign of it one moment ago, but it was approaching the next moment.

Boom!!!

Black flames and thick smoke suddenly rose.

The Fa Tian Xiang Di was exerted with all his strength.

It enveloped the rapidly expanding figure, but disappeared in an instant.

Swish...

It was like a breeze blowing across the night sky.

Silently, a slender figure in white clothes and a white skirt quietly appeared.

"Miss Sun."

The old man who had just recovered his body struggled to salute, his eyes full of fear.

"I sensed the power of the other world, mixed with the mysterious spiritual fluctuations."

"I have to say that his reaction was quite sharp. He actually sensed the danger at the last moment and almost avoided my sneak attack."

She was covered in bright moonlight and turned her head to look to one side. "But it doesn't matter. Since he has been marked by me, he can't escape the pursuit even if he enters the other world."

Before the voice disappeared, the slender figure disappeared silently.

Whether it came or went, there was no ripple.

It was in sharp contrast to the rising black flames and billowing smoke just now.

Under the heavy clouds, the abandoned campus was covered by gray raindrops.

But compared with the past, it has become more and more illusory, and it is no longer real at the beginning.

Shua!!!

A figure descended into it.

Blood was flowing from the shoulder, and the deep wound was clearly visible.

"It's not good for anyone to come to the manor in person."

"Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise I would not be able to say a word until I die."

"She has become so powerful now, but why didn't she sense my split spirit? Is it because of the jade talisman left by Youxuan, and I have the true meaning of the power of two other worlds?"

"If it's because of Youxuan, I'm afraid she won't believe me directly if I reveal my identity in a hurry..."

His mind was racing, he lowered his head to look at the wound, and his figure just flashed.

Then he disappeared again without any sign.

Almost at the same time.

On the top of the tallest teaching building, a figure in white clothes and white skirts quietly appeared.

She stood on the edge of the rooftop, lowered her head and looked around.

After a moment, she slowly stepped out.

The whole person disappeared silently in the air, and even did not affect the illusory rain curtain that was falling.

The burning place of black flames was almost disappearing.

He staggered to the ground, took two steps forward, and then did not hesitate to ripple the void again.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the backyard of the dilapidated old house.

Swish...

She followed closely behind and also descended into the old house.

And he did not see or hear, touch or approach.

It was almost impossible to detect any fluctuations.

He held the bare wooden handle of the broom, ready to withstand the next wave of attacks that were about to come, and at the same time tried to make her stop for a while, not to attack with a killing move like just now.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar.

The gray mist covering the void was forced away in an instant.

He looked up suddenly and found that a vortex suddenly appeared above.

It was like a gray mirror being torn and smashed.

A huge monster fell from the sky, completely covering a large area including the dilapidated old house.

This was a bloody, hideous and terrifying giant claw.

There were also countless illusory faces around it.

Accompanied by the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

It showed the meaning of chaos, madness, evil and distortion.

Various negative influences followed, like huge waves hitting the true spirit.

Boom!

At this moment, everything seemed to stagnate and solidify.

"What is this thing? Why does it give me a strange and familiar feeling of a creature from the sea of ​​blood?"

"Why did it appear here? Could it be a helper summoned by Senior Sister Sun?"

"She is really cruel. She only needs to use such a powerful move to deal with a distraction of my spirit?"

He thought to himself, but suddenly found something wrong.

"No, it is not coming for me. The target of this thing is Senior Sister Sun."

Boom! ! !

The giant claws pressed down rapidly.

The last moment it was still in the sky, and in an instant it had already arrived above the ancient house.

Swish...

In the depths of the courtyard, a wave of fluctuations quietly appeared.

Under the huge pressure, the figure in white clothes and white skirts flashed away.

"I have left traces in the inner world continuously, but it has captured my trace."

"With the level of power it has shown this time, I am afraid that even I will not be able to escape safely."

She looked up, but before she could make a move, she saw the black flames surging, the transparent tentacles surging, and the figure inside that was madly expanding. Regardless of the cost and life and death, it suddenly crashed into the ferocious giant claw that suddenly fell.

There was also a voice that surprised her at the same time.

"Senior Sister Sun, it is not enough for you to trick me once in the Cangmang Mountains, and you must do it again in the Taixu Realm."

"You are really a prodigal woman."
