Chapter 124: The Unity of Magic and Martial Arts, Dragon Elephant Seal (Subscription Request)
boom!
Gu Wuji's ultimate burst of blood and energy, and the unity of soul and flesh were fully displayed.
The fierce and brutal gust of wind, combined with the Tiangang Wuji Gong, shook the mighty Tianlong Bodhisattva, whose soul had appeared, of Yankong.
Xu Qing had such sharp eyesight that he finally figured out how Yankong Dawei Tianlong Bodhisattva used objects to reveal his form.
“It’s actually gold dust?”
Xu Qing found it quite incredible, because gold has a strong resistance to spirits and souls, and can even be used to seal spirits and ghosts. How can it be used to borrow objects to reveal one's form?
The thought flashed through his mind and he continued to focus on the battlefield.
Yan Kong didn't seem to intend to subdue a great master who practiced internal organs by relying on the Great Power of Tianlong Bodhisattva.
This move of revealing the soul actually lures the snake out of its hole.
Let Gu Wuji's accumulated attack burst out ahead of time.
The external appearance of the Great and Powerful Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva disappeared and turned into countless golden powder.
At the same time, Yan Kong's body was like a black hole, sucking all the gold powder into his body.
And Gu Wuji took advantage of the situation and killed him.
The terrifying blood energy erupted at this moment, and the masculine heat of the blood energy made Xu Qing, who was watching the battle with his soul, feel slightly uncomfortable.
"This?" Xu Qing became more and more surprised.
Because the old monk's soul turned into a whirlpool, forcibly absorbing the blood and energy that burst out from Gu Wuji.
"Witchcraft?" Gu Wuji shouted.
He didn't know when a knife appeared in his hand, and there was a long sound of the knife. In an instant, it was like thunder and lightning, and it broke through the air and slashed towards the old monk.
Wuji Sword!
Tie Xiangu, who was watching the fight, exclaimed.
Huang Tianhu also had a serious expression on his face.
Xu Qing felt an extremely powerful energy and blood on the knife, and it did not come from Gu Wuji.
"This is a treasure refined from the essence of a warrior's blood and qi. Moreover, the material used to make the blade can actually contain and preserve the essence of a warrior's blood and qi. It's interesting." Xu Qing's eyesight was so sharp that he could see through the secret of the Wuji Sword at once.
Gu Wuji used the Wuji Sword and combined the Qi and blood of the Wuji Sword with his own Qi and blood. The terrifying sword energy that erupted was so terrifying that even Xu Qing couldn't help but look sideways.
Moreover, the sword energy was so condensed that it seemed to have broken Yan Kong's Taoist technique of using his soul to absorb qi and blood.
The power of this sword that breaks through the air and kills is terrifying.
Xu Qing thought to himself that even he couldn't take the blow head-on and had to avoid the sharp edge first.
Unexpectedly, the old monk did not dodge or evade.
With a wave of his robe sleeve, it condensed into a long iron stick-like weapon, which rushed towards the Wuji Sword like a storm.
"Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves."
Huang Tianhu was amazed at the scene.
The Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves were martial arts brought by Zen Master Hongyue from his previous life. There were only records of them in the Great Zen Temple, but no inheritance.
In today's world, there is no shortage of martial arts such as Iron Sleeve Kung Fu in Taoism and Buddhism, but there are only a few sleeve skills that are as hard and soft as Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves.
No one knew what material Yan Kong's cassock was made of, but he faced the Wuji Sword and was not at all at a disadvantage.
Gu Wuji swung more than ten swords in an instant, but they were all blocked by Yan Kong's sleeve stick. Gradually, the power attached to the Wuji sword disintegrated and loosened.
Suddenly, Yan Kong's sleeve stick spread out, wrapping up the blade light of the Wuji Sword. There was a buzzing sound, and the Wuji Sword was entangled.
At the same time, Yan Kong's other palm glowed dark golden and slapped towards Gu Wuji's chest.
Powerful Vajra Palm!
Yan Kong finally used his unique skills that made him famous.
Gu Wuji pulled the Wuji Knife out of Yankong's sleeve, but he was too late to block it. He dodged backwards, shrunk his abdomen, arched his spine, and performed his unique skill of changing his shape and shadow.
When the power of Yan Kong's Vajra Palm exploded.
With this operation, Gu Wuji just created half an inch of distance.
Because of this half-inch distance, the power of the Vajra Palm could not be implemented. However, with his well-trained body, it was enough to block the strong wind generated by the palm power.
but!
At this time, a dragon roared.
Yan Kong's powerful Vajra Palm actually blasted out a gas snake, the size of a palm, faintly flashing with golden light, which directly filled the half-inch distance and exploded in Gu Wuji's chest.
The terrifying airflow directly shredded Gu Wuji's clothes and even exploded the inner armor he was wearing.
Gu Wuji flew several feet away, using his Thousand Jin Weight Weight skill to support his body, but he couldn't help it in the end. His knees softened and he supported himself on the ground with one hand, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"What a great Dragon-Elephant Seal that combines magic and martial arts." Gu Wuji stood up slowly, his face livid, "Gu has lost."
Yan Kong put his hands behind his back while performing the Dragon Elephant Seal, and put his hands together and said:
"Donor Gu is a master of the time, and I can only defeat you by half a move. I am so ashamed."
Gu Wuji: "Losing is losing, even half a move is also losing."
He learned from the last lesson and spat out a mouthful of blood, which relieved his injuries to the greatest extent. He had to do this, because if he didn't spit out the blood, his internal organs would be damaged, and it would be hard to say whether he could return to his peak in the future.
After all, although training the internal organs can restore hidden injuries to the internal organs, it is not a panacea.
If the internal organs are damaged too severely, they still cannot recover.
Unless one has cultivated the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound to perfection, or has cultivated a marrow cleansing scripture like the Great Zen Temple's Marrow Cleansing Sutra.
Only then can one recover as before even when the internal organs are severely injured.
After he finished speaking, he said to the doorman behind him: "Put down your things and let's go."
The disciples of Zhengang Sect all looked unhappy when they saw that their leader had lost. But when they heard their leader say that they were leaving, they felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly left their bets for this decisive battle and prepared to follow the leader away.
"Wait." Tie Xiangu suddenly spoke.
Gu Wuji asked, "Master Mei, what advice do you have?"
Zhengang Sect and Meihua Sect are both northern sects, but Zhengang Sect is further north, while Meihua Sect belongs to the northern part of Zhongzhou, barely bordering northern Zhili.
But the two sides were not far apart and both were from the same social world.
Therefore, Gu Wuji knew Tie Xiangu.
"Master Gu, your Zhen Gang Sect injured a man in Jinyang Prefecture. He was my brother. Today I want to ask for an explanation."
Gu Wuji sneered: "Master Mei, if I were intact today and not in this Jinguang Temple, you probably wouldn't have the courage to tell me this."
Tie Xiangu said as a matter of course: "If you were not injured, I would not be able to beat you. Today you were injured, and I found an opportunity, so naturally I will ask you to give an explanation."
Gu Wuji sneered.
"Be careful." Yan Kong shouted, moved his feet slightly, and then stopped suddenly.
At this time, Gu Wuji had already changed his form and appeared in front of Tie Xiangu. Tie Xiangu could not believe that Gu Wuji, who had just spurted out a mouthful of blood and was obviously seriously injured, could still have such terrible explosive power.
The speed of this transformation was so fast that it was beyond her reaction.
She didn't have time to block.
At this moment.
A strong wind blew up in front of Tie Xiangu.
Inside the hall, two shadows collided several times in an instant, making a rumbling sound like thunder.
Gu Wuji retreated several feet, cracking many of the bluestones in the hall, and spurted out another large mouthful of blood.
When Tie Xiangu came to her senses, she found that it was Xu Qing who appeared beside her and blocked Gu Wuji for her.
"Xu Gongming, a martial arts genius like you, do you really want to take advantage of others in distress?" Gu Wuji's face turned pale.
Xu Qing frowned and ignored Gu Wuji. Instead, he looked outside the door and heard a loud laugh: "Master Gu, please rest assured. We will escort you down the mountain safely."
After that loud laugh, a man who looked like a butler appeared outside the hall, holding a huge black pipe in his hand. He suddenly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, which fell around Gu Wuji.
The strange fragrance in the smoke immediately stopped the pain in Gu Wuji's body.
There were five old men in black robes next to them, wrapped in robes and looking eerie.
Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the butler appear: "Thank you Mr. Yan for your help."
Mr. Yan is Yan Fu, the chief steward of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
Xu Qing didn't know him, but he knew that this person was definitely a martial artist who practiced internal organs, and his level of unity of body and soul was even higher than Gu Wuji, but he was also at least ten years older than Gu Wuji.
"Let's go." Mr. Yan said to Gu Wuji.
Xu Qing didn't stop him.
Because at this moment, the five black-robed old men beside Butler Yan looked at him at the same time, and their five gazes merged into one, like a thousand-year-old ice, trying to freeze his soul.
boom!
A terrifying blood energy burst out from Xu Qing's body, dispersing the icy feeling.
The five old men were slightly surprised, then turned around and left with Yan Fu, Gu Wuji and the people from Zhengangmen.
At this moment, they were surrounded by a cold and damp black fog, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, the people watching the battle dispersed under Fa Yue's arrangement.
Xu Qing and Yan Kong returned to the meditation room in the back hall.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I thought you were going to fight back, but I didn't expect you to hold back." "The Duke of Wei's mansion is really full of hidden talents. Master, do you know where those five old ghosts came from?"
Yan Kong groaned and said, "He should be the descendant of Hanbing Dao."
"Ice Road?"
"In the past, Patriarch Hongyue and Patriarch Hanbing of the Hanbing Dao fought against each other. Patriarch Hongyue used the Golden Light Curse to severely injure Hanbing Dao. But he also said afterwards that the arts of Hanbing Dao were quite unique. These five old men seem to be born of the same mother. Even their spirits and souls can blend together and add up their power. Young master, you must be more careful when you meet them in the future." Yan Kong finished speaking, and then continued: "Fortunately, young master practiced the Golden Light Curse, and his blood and qi are extremely strong and yang, which can dissolve the vicious arts of Hanbing Dao. Otherwise, if it were someone else, his soul would have been damaged."
Xu Qing nodded. After a little trial just now, Xu Qing had already had a good understanding of the Taoist magic of the five old ghosts. However, he practiced the Golden Light Curse, which was the nemesis of this kind of sinister Taoist magic. Moreover, during this provincial examination, he also comprehended a trace of the sage's majestic and masculine aura hidden in his soul.
Not to say that he could completely suppress it, but at least he was not like ordinary warriors or Taoist masters who were helpless when faced with such vicious Taoist magic.
pity!
He knew in his heart that if the people from Duke Wei's Mansion had not appeared, this opportunity, which Tie Xiangu had fought for at the cost of her reputation, would definitely have allowed Gu Wuji to stay.
"Humph, you are quite calculating."
Xu Qing knew clearly that this time Gu Wuji owed a huge favor to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and he was afraid that he would be truly conquered by the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
In his heart, he became more and more afraid to underestimate the Duke of Wei.
After all, old people are really calculating.
If Gu Wuji wins this battle, it would be great; if he loses, the Duke of Wei's Mansion can also take the opportunity to subdue Gu Wuji, so it will be a win-win situation.
In fact, Xu Qing would not be afraid if it was just Yan Fu alone, but he did not expect that the old dog also brought five old ghosts whose background he did not know. Xu Qing knew that there was something wrong with Yan Kong, and the forced action just now was definitely not a good thing, so he could only retreat for the time being.
but……
The hidden attack he just made on Gu Wuji was not easy to deal with.
...
...
"puff."
In a large carriage, Gu Wuji spat out another mouthful of blood.
"What a cruel boy." Even though he was a great master of internal energy training with abundant Qi and blood, his face was as pale as paper and his breathing was disordered.
Yan Fu took out a small bottle and poured out a snow-white pill with heartache.
Gu Wuji quickly took it and swallowed it, using his sect's Zhen Gang Lei Yin to dissolve the drug's power. After a long time, he recovered his breath and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid my life would be in danger this time."
He could not have imagined that Yan Kong had actually cultivated the Dragon Elephant Seal, a combination of magic and martial arts. This was the most essential secret skill in the Sutra of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, and it could combine the soul and qi and blood to perform Taoist magic and martial arts.
In this way, even the Qi and blood of an internal warrior would be unable to suppress this kind of Taoist magic normally.
This is also the method devised by the Taoist masters of previous generations to control the effect of Taoist magic on the blood and qi of warriors.
However, the path of practicing the unity of magic and martial arts is not only extremely difficult, but even the method of practice is a secret that is not passed on by each sect.
People who can use this kind of unique skills are quite rare among practitioners.
In addition, in Buddhism, there are unique skills that combine magic and martial arts, such as the Dragon Elephant Seal; and in Taoism, there are also magical powers that combine magic and martial arts, such as Palm Thunder and Samadhi True Fire.
Gu Wuji could only secretly hate the fact that the Zhengang Sect had too weak a foundation and did not have such a background, otherwise he would not have suffered such a crushing defeat today.
At the same time, he hated Xu Qing's hidden power even more, which almost cost him his life.
What frightened him even more was that when Xu Qing faced him, he actually found the place where his blood and energy were stagnant in an instant, thereby finding his weakness, and sent out a hidden hand, hitting his vital parts with incredible precision, causing him further injuries.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured so badly and almost lost his life.
If you look into this point in detail, it is even more terrifying than Yan Kong's Dragon Elephant Seal.
What he didn't know was that Xu Qing had the innate magical power of the Heaven-Repairing Hand, and he had recently learned medical theory, which had taken his understanding of the human body to a new level.
Therefore, as soon as they fought, he used the Bu Tian Jie Hand to observe the circulation of Gu Wuji's qi and blood and find out the flaws.
Yan Fu naturally had no idea how terrible the significance of Xu Qing's secret attack on Gu Wuji just now was, but he knew that if Gu Wuji wanted to recover, the Duke of Wei's Mansion would have to pay a huge price.
At such a cost, it is hard to say whether it is a profit or a loss to subdue a master of dirty tricks.
But we have to not save him, otherwise who will work for the Duke of Wei's Mansion in the future?
Yan Fu sighed secretly.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion has always been successful in Nanzhili, but why is it that every time they meet Xu Qing, they can't gain the upper hand?
...
...
On the other hand, when Xu Qing and Yan Kong were reviewing the situation afterwards, Yan Kong insisted that he was fine and sent Xu Qing out of the meditation room.
Seeing this, Xu Qing had no choice but to leave first.
After Xu Qing left, Yan Kong took out the hand that he had hidden in his sleeve.
He saw the fine, light red hairs growing on it and couldn't help but sigh.
The more times he takes action now, the deeper he becomes possessed by the devil. At the same time, his skills become more profound and his supernatural powers increase.
If he continues like this, he really doesn’t know when he will go crazy. He thought to himself: “Fortunately, Master Xu has mastered the Golden Light Curse. If I can’t suppress the ominousness in my body, I still have his Golden Light Curse to help…”
In fact, he gave Xu Qing the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and the Golden Light Curse, which were all unique skills.
Because he was thinking that if Xu Qing could succeed in practicing it, he thought that once he was completely possessed by the devil, there would be people who practiced the Golden Light Mantra who could suppress him.
Xu Qingzhen has mastered the Golden Light Mantra without any side effects.
This not only surprised Yan Kong, but also made him extremely shocked.
"It stands to reason that Master Xu's Golden Light Mantra has been practiced to this extent, and if he continues to practice it, his soul will inevitably be damaged. With his talent, he can naturally sense the danger of continuing to practice it in advance. Moreover, I have reminded him indirectly. It stands to reason that a smart man like him should not continue to practice deeply when he knows there are great risks.
But this is obviously not the case.
Because he was not affected by the suppression of the ice magic, it showed that his spirit was perfect and without any flaws. Could it be that a scholar could cultivate his character and cultivate a great and strong aura to nourish his spirit and soul, and make up for the shortcomings of the Golden Light Curse? Or, has he found the top-level Zhoutian Xingshen Guan method such as the "Xuantian Guanfa"? "
No matter which one it was, Yan Kong had to admit that Xu Qing had a destiny and was blessed with great fortune.
"In addition, he is a master of all three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. People like him are the founders of all three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. I never thought I would be so lucky to meet him in this life."
"What a shame, what a shame, I don't know if I can make it to that day."
Even if he does not use martial arts or Taoist magic now, he will still gradually become possessed by the devil, but under the suppression of Buddhism, his progress will be much slower.
"Fortunately, I have the Golden Body Tribulation Refinement Technique, but this technique is very energy-intensive. I don't know if the harvest this time is enough for me to refine the Golden Body again."
He used gold as raw material to practice the Golden Body Tribulation Crossing Technique, which was also an important reason why he could survive until now.
It must be said that the calming and soothing properties of gold are better than many panaceas, and it is also effective in restraining his evil thoughts.
In recent years, Jinguang Temple has been short of money and goods, and outsiders thought that it was because Yanzhi, the abbot, had embezzled a lot of money. In fact, what people didn't know was that Yanzhi had taken a lot of blame for him.
Of course, Yanzhi himself was also quite greedy.
After all, those in power have to turn a blind eye to the people below doing things.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish!
"Buddha, have mercy on me!" Thinking of this, Yan Kong asked the novice monk to call Elder Yanzhi, and prepare to let his disciple resume his position as the abbot.
...
...
The news of Yan Kong defeating Gu Wuji quickly spread throughout the Nanzhili martial arts world.
The defeat of a great master who practiced dirty tricks raised the reputation of Jinguang Temple in the martial arts world to a new level.
The status of the Southern Zen school was instantly established.
It has to be said that all the fame that Gu Wuji had built up from north to south finally benefited the old monk.
...
...
The turmoil in the world could not affect the marking of the Nanzhili provincial examination.
Chief examiner Shen Mo saw that the number of answers to the four books in the first round of the provincial examination was decreasing, and he still couldn't figure out which one Xu Qing's essay was.
There are indeed many talented people who took reference this time, but there is a clear gap compared with Xie Quan's articles.
With his understanding of Xu Qing's talent, he should not be unable to produce an excellent answer in such a formal test question as the Four Books. Could it be that Xu Qing only produced a good answer? Is there not much difference in level between him and those famous talents in Nanzhili?
"No, at worst, it is definitely not difficult for him to use my skills from the I Ching to write a sharp and eye-catching answer to the Four Books questions."
"What exactly went wrong?"
"Could it be that I have to look for him on the answer sheet of the Five Classics?"
Since the answer papers for the Four Books questions had not been submitted, it was difficult for Shen Mo to look for the answer papers for the Five Classics questions. Moreover, there was no limit on the scope, and there were too many answer papers, so it was impossible to search for the missing papers.
While Shen Mo was worrying, a fellow examiner who was marking the papers in the hall below suddenly exclaimed.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his exclamation naturally attracted the attention of those around him.
Shen Mo was feeling unhappy. When he heard the examiner's exclamation, he snorted coldly:
"Why did you lose your composure?"
The examiner realized that he had made a mistake, and he apologized quickly, then said, "Someone is cheating."
He then raised an article in his hand and said loudly: "Report to the examiner, someone used the articles of ancient sages to pretend to be an answer sheet."
The examiners and supervisors around...all of them had incredible looks on their faces.
Are there such stupid candidates for the provincial examinations in this world?
It's really eye-opening!
Thus, everyone's curiosity was aroused.
