Nightfall Chapter 53: The beginning of a practice


Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 53, The Beginning of a Practice

“How did you shoot those horse thieves that night?”

“It’s very simple. Use your mind to lock them in the dark.”

“But how do you determine their vital parts?”

“Still thinking power.”

“How can we achieve such a long distance?”

“Because my mind is very powerful.”

……

……

“But you…the aptitude for cultivation is not very good, you can control so few heaven and earth vitality.”

“A needle is not as heavy as a knife, but it can also pierce people.”

“It’s a very strange idea, and…doesn’t you think it’s a waste to use this method to fight? Use your mind to lock the opponent’s position and judge your body shape, the mind power in the sea of ​​knowledge consumes too fast.”

“As I said before, my mind is very powerful.”

……

……

“Have you ever thought of becoming a great teacher?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Because I am a genius of Talisman, of course I have to become a Talisman like you.”

……

……

“When you killed the deacon of the temple that night, you didn’t use a talisman.”

“I am accustomed to using a knife, which is engraved with symbols.”

“Your fighting style is really different from ordinary practitioners.”

“Genius, of course I don’t take the usual path.”

“But why do I always feel that this is like a helpless choice under pressure?”

“My pride is hurt by you again.”

“I will not lie.”

“That’s why you can hurt me.”

……

……

“Do you feel that the heaven and the earth in this sparse forest below the mountain are very energetic?”

“Well, it seems a bit.”

“You don’t seem to care about the breath of the world around you.”

“I care more about the breath in my body.”

……

……

From the wasteland snow ridge to the foot of the Cangshan mountain, this kind of dialogue is constantly happening between Ning Que and Moshan Mountain, so that sometimes Ning Que’s mind becomes a little confused, and always feels like he has returned to the back mountain of the academy or It’s the old one, I’m talking nonsense with that nasty guy Chen Pipi.

In his opinion, it is a nonsense discussion, but it is very important to Mo Shanshan. Through these dialogues, the young generation Tianjiao who is obsessed with book charms gradually deepened his understanding of Ningque’s practice, and then followed the two Her footsteps are getting closer and closer to the Xuefeng at the foot of Tianqi Mountain, her expression is getting more and more worried, and some are at a loss.

Beside the hot eyes of a very small hot spring, the two took a break, Ning Que looked at her slightly drooping eyes and the long eyelashes quietly resting on her white skin, thinking about her emotional changes along the way. I could no longer suppress the puzzlement in my heart, and asked seriously: “What are you worried about?”

Mo Shanshan raised his head and looked at Ning Que silently, as if watching one of the most dazzling gems gradually being buried by the wind and sand, his eyes were full of worries and worries, and he whispered, “I’m worried about you becoming a monster.” /

Ning Que was taken aback, then laughed.

Affected by the novels in that world, and also because of the life experience in this world, and even more because of the enlightened environment of the academy, it is really difficult for him to have instinctive resistance and disgust towards the Demon Sect, but he is a very Realistic people understand that thinking may be innocent, but if you really practice the magic sect, it will definitely cause countless troubles.

He smiled and said: “I am a direct disciple of the Master. Naturally, it is impossible for me to sell my soul to the devil for things like power or power like those poor people who have been harmed by insults but are unable to retaliate.”

Mo Shanshan quietly looked at his clean and gratifying face, thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way, and he became more and more sure that he was a guy who didn’t care about the means to achieve his goals, and couldn’t feel his treatment of Haotian. He has the slightest sense of awe, and his current practice, passively or actively, pays particular attention to his physical skills, but he rarely learns how to communicate with the breath of heaven and earth. If he continues on this path, it is easy to go astray. .

Especially now that he is getting closer and closer to the mountain range abandoned by Haotian.

Mo Shanshan stretched out his hand to lift up the snowflakes by the eyes of the hot spring, and then gently blew it off, blankly looking at the black and white mountain range not far away, and said after a long silence: “Can you agree? One thing for me.”

Ning Que asked: “What’s the matter?”

Mo Shanshan looked back at him and said seriously: “If you encounter the demon sect exercise in this mountain, you should not learn it.”

Listening to these words, Ning Que couldn’t help being stunned. He looked at the desolate and uninhabited mountains that ran between the sky and the earth in the distance, thinking that he knew from the deserted tribe that people in the temple had entered. This mountain, it is guessed that it should be related to the book of heaven, why did Mo Shanshan suddenly mention what magic sect technique?

Mo Shanshan blinked his eyelashes slightly, and said softly: “The Demon Sect Mountain Gate is in this mountain range abandoned by Haotian. It is just a vast mountain. Except for the senior expert who destroyed the mountain gate, not many people know this Where is the mountain gate.”

Ning Que gradually digested the shock, frowned and looked at the mountain range. After a moment of silence, he said: “I really don’t know about this. No one has told me.”

“The message from the Desolate Tribe made it clear to me that the people in the temple sneaked into the wasteland to make trouble in order to attract the attention of the desolate strong and the senator, and the true strong of the temple sneaked into this mountain. .”

“Chang’an gave me the news that the temple wanted to retrieve the heavenly book, and they thought that the heavenly book was in the deserted tribe, so I was a little surprised at first why they wanted to enter the mountain.”

He retracted his gaze and looked at Mo Shanshan frowning and said: “If the temple thinks that the heavenly book is still in the Mozong Mountain Gate, and the Mozong Mountain Gate has been in Tianqi Mountain, why didn’t the people in the temple come to look for the heavenly book? Only came to look for it when Huangren went south?”

Mo Shanshan shook his head, stroked the hair flying on the cheeks behind his ears with his fingers, and said: “The heavenly book and Ming scrolls and other things in this world, once they appear in this world, they will inevitably go to heaven. This is not you or me. I can understand or guess the opportunity, but in my opinion, the possibility of the heavenly book in the deserted tribe is certainly not as great as the possibility in the Demon Mountain Gate.”

Ning Que asked: “Why?”

Mo Shanshan replied: “Because things like the heavenly book, it seems that they should be in the unknown.”

The conversation in the sparse forest at the foot of the mountain kept shocking Ning Que. He vaguely remembered what unknown place he should have heard of, but he couldn’t remember what he was talking about.

He asked seriously: “What is the unknown?”

Mo Shanshan was stunned, and found that he was not telling a joke, and replied seriously: “A place that the world can’t reach.”

Ning Que rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: “Can you be more specific?”

Mo Shanshan frowned and looked at him as if looking at a very strange tree. After a moment of silence, he said: “Unknowable places refer to mysterious places outside the world. Few people can see these places with their own eyes. Even people who have been there will not talk about it after they come out, so for thousands of years, only some legends about the unknown have been circulating in the world of practice.”

Ning Que said in a puzzled way: “If the temple is not an unknowable place, then the Demon Sect is just a branch of the temple in my opinion. Why is its gate called an unknowable place?”

Hearing this question, Mo Shanshan replied very seriously: “I also asked the teacher when I was a child. According to the teacher, it was because the bright priest who founded the Demon Sect was establishing the gate of the Demon Sect. At that time, he has become an unworldly demon beyond the five realms, so this is the reason.”

“Cross the five borders?”

Ning Que thought about the legendary saints told by the old man Lu Qingchen, the apocalypse and the terrifying realm without distance, and he couldn’t help shaking his mind, feeling that those indispensable places were far away and untouchable.

“Except for the abandoned Demon Sect Mountain Gate, I believe there must be strong people beyond the five realms in other unknown places, but the number of these strong people is very small, basically not present, just a few years later. There will be a young disciple who enters the world and is called the world walk. Once these world walks are in this world, they will be great practitioners in the realm of fate. Even the Southern Jin Dynasty’s number one sword sage Liu Bai will feel something. Fear.”

Mo Shanshan looked at Ning Que with a very complicated eye, and the message in his eyes seemed to say that her previous words were not the same as the world she saw with her own eyes, so she did not confidence.

Ning Que did not notice the expression in her eyes, and was still immersed in the shock brought by the secrets of the world of practice. Thinking back to the daily life in the mountains behind the academy, he became more and more slanderous and annoyed at whether the second elder brother or the third elder sister or Chen Pipi, this guy, didn’t even tell himself such important things.

He frowned and said: “If things like the heavenly book can only exist in the unknown place, then those who are qualified to **** the heavenly book, logically, should also be those walking under the heavens from the unknowable place. I thought it might happen. The competitors I visited are at most people of the level of Dao Chi or Long Qing, who can always compete, but if you encounter those major repairers who know their fate, it seems impossible to play with them.”

For some reason, Mo Shanshan felt that he could not understand what this guy was trying to express. He frowned like an ink brush and asked: “What are you thinking?”

Ning Que looked at her and said sincerely and honestly: “I wonder if we should go back to the south right away. If you feel unhappy, I will ask you to go to Chang’an City and take you to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.”

Mo Shanshan stared at him with wide eyes, looking at him inexplicably, not knowing what to say.

Ning Que didn’t know what to say, and fell into a long silent thinking.

The development of this trip to the wasteland to the present look is really inexplicable, one after another big event just jumped to my eyes, and no one had reminded or warned myself beforehand. Even the important news such as the Ming Scripts of the Heavenly Book was only notified when things happened. No matter how you look at it, this kind of response planning ability cannot match the reputation of the Tang Empire and the Academy…

His Majesty the Emperor and the national teacher Li Qingshan should not harm himself, and Master Yan Se will not harm himself. The senior brothers and sisters in the academy may not have participated in this matter, but if it involves unknowable places, he does not believe it. The brothers are not interested at all, but why these guys let themselves come without explaining anything?

As the guy who participated in the practice for the first time in the history of the second-story building of the academy, your majesty and the elders in the south gate may have other ideas. What are the second brothers thinking? Ning Que got more and more fascinated as he got up, his eyes gradually brightened, and then dimmed instantly as if he was frightened, and his body became very stiff.

Because he remembered a passage, that passage said: Destiny itself is a very cruel guy, if it chooses you to undertake the mission, then it will try everything before it is determined that you can undertake this mission The way to break every bone of you and strip every bit of your flesh and blood, so that you can endure the most extreme pain in the world, so that your will and temperament can be strong enough to be qualified to be chosen by fate…

……

……

This is what Chen Pipi told him.

This is what the second brother told Chen Pipi.

This passage is said by the legendary little uncle.

Everyone in the back mountain of the academy knows that the second brother is the most brainless follower of the young master, the most ardent supporter, regardless of words and deeds or style of dealing, they want to get closer to the young master. Reminiscent of the famous saying of the little uncle, the second brother threw Ning Que into the wild wasteland, and let him, a weak person of the unconfined realm, face the many strong men in the temple, face the world that may come from the unknown, face the bleak There is an answer in life.

Ning Que couldn’t help but shudder, like a child about to drown, looking at the mountain innocent and helplessly, and already scolded the second senior brother as the ancient crown on his head–that is, a club.

At this time, the big dark horse didn’t know where to go to fill his stomach with hardship, and he paced back slowly with eyes full of resentment.

Ning Que looked at the big dark horse, remembering its inexhaustible transcendence at the King Court Horse Race, and gradually calmed down the fear and anxiety in his heart, frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly asked:

“Is the result important or the process important?”

Mo Shanshan was startled slightly and replied: “I think it is a process.”

Ning Que shook his head and said: “I used to think it was the result. Later, when I realized the talisman, I thought that the important thing was the process. I now understand that the two are equally important, but without the process, then the result will not be obtained.”

Mo Shanshan said: “You are not a person who is used to saying this.”

Ning Que looked at her and suddenly laughed, and said, “Because I have confirmed my purpose of coming to the Wasteland.”

“What is it?”

“It has nothing to do with the Tianshu Ming Scrolls and the Mozong Mountain Gate. The reason why I first came to the Wasteland was to participate in the college practice. The purpose of the college students’ practice is to march and fight. The purpose of my practice is naturally Practice.”

Ning Que said in a very affirmative tone: “The academy asked me to come to the Wasteland, hoping that I could understand something during this journey. This is the process, and the journey into the cave is this journey of spiritual practice. The purpose of .”

Mo Shanshan’s eyebrows slowly raised, and he said in disbelief: “You are enlightened at the beginning of the spring, and you feel it at the end of the spring, and you are not confused. In less than a year, you want to be able to break through the realm of the cave?”

Ning Que said seriously: “I told you before that I am not far from Dongxuan.”

Mo Shanshan shook his head lightly and said: “Datang Wang Jinglue entered the cave at the age of sixteen, but he was enlightened at the age of four. I entered the cave at the age of fourteen, but I was enlightened at the age of three. I don’t know about Taoism, but Long Qing Although the age of the prince entering the cave is younger, I believe it took him a long time. I have never heard of anyone who entered the cave within a year. Even if you are a direct disciple of the master, you still have a good face I haven’t seen it before, this kind of thinking is really…”

Ning Que thought with a smile, that’s because you haven’t stayed in the back hills of the academy. There are too many perverts in practice there. Except for the second brother, the other brothers and sisters seem to be not very interested in the practice. Those guys put their infatuation in chess, piano, flowers and miscellaneous aspects on their practice, and I’m afraid they have already entered the realm of fate.

Thinking of the great brothers and sisters backers in the mountains behind the academy, Ning Que came back to life with confidence, looked at the rugged snow-capped mountain, with pride and passion between his chest and abdomen, and said loudly, “Is it amazing to walk in the world?”

Listening to these words, Mo Shanshan’s thin red lips opened slightly, but he couldn’t speak, his expression was complicated and embarrassed, and he thought, why did I like this one by the Mochi in summer? Stupid person?

Ning Que looked at her speechlessly and smiled proudly and said: “Don’t be shocked, don’t admire, I am a natural choice who dares to face the bleak life, cruel fate, dripping blood, and countless dangerous peaks.”

……

……

Prince Longqing stood between the black rock walls, tired of the blizzard in the distance of the lead cloud in front of him, and looked back to the depths of the desolate and deep mountain range, which was originally the end of the northern foot of the Minshan Mountain, but no matter how In the language of the prairie barbarians, or in the records of the temple teachings, they are all called Tianqi Mountain.

Because the great priest of Guangming betrayed the temple and founded the Demon Sect, he led his followers to build the gate of the Demon Sect in this mountain range. From that day on, this filthy and corroded mountain range waited for The sky is deserted.

A small snow particle was brought to his face by the wind from the front of the cliff, unable to touch his beautiful face, and flew away, but his brows gradually frowned.

After a thousand years, another great priest of Guangming betrayed the temple. I don’t know what kind of stain this will bring to Haotian glory and what damage it will cause to the temple’s cause.

Although he is the son of heaven that the temple focuses on training, he is the perfect **** in the eyes of the world, and he is in charge of most of the specific affairs of the adjudication department, but after all, he is young and shallow. There is a head teacher, he has no qualifications to participate in the apostasy of the great priest of Guangming, and can only think.

The Great Priest Guangming destroyed the cage, left the Youge, and rebelled against Taoshan, causing the Xiling Temple to fall into great chaos. At the same time, the Great Priest of Heaven, who had returned from the south, dropped one at the cost of half a bunch of white hair. Haotian decree.

The filthy and unknowable place in Tianqi Mountain reappeared after a lapse of decades due to the induction of the deserted people going south.

The temple has never given up looking for the scroll of the celestial script that was lost on the wasteland. After the madman single-sword smashed the Demon Sect Mountain Gate into ruins, it is said that someone from the Taoist Gate once personally explored it once, but found nothing. Therefore, the temple always thought that the book of heaven was taken by the deserted people to the extreme northern cold region.

However, at this time, the oracle **** seat issued such an decree.

Prince Longqing’s brow furrowed tighter, not affecting his beauty, but he looked a little dignified.

The Mozong Mountain Gate is the only unknowable place that has been destroyed. Once it is reopened, many things will be discovered. For the madman and the person who went to search for the heavenly book afterwards, they are probably no different from garbage, but To Dao Chi, him and other young practitioners in the world, it is very precious.

He ardently believes in Haotian and yearns for the light. Naturally, he is not interested in those filthy and dark Demon Sect exercises, but after all, he is the Master of the Judging Division, knowing some historical truths that have been annihilated by time. I thought that even if I couldn’t find the scriptures of the heavenly book, if I could inherit the mantle of that madman, this trip would have great significance.

But how much opportunity does that take?

Prince Longqing looked at this mountain range abandoned by Haotian and said calmly: “This is also a kind of practice.”

Below the cliff tens of feet away, there appeared a deacon of the adjudication department dressed in black. The deacon humbled his salute to Prince Longqing, and then said a few words. The voice was intermittently blown by the cold wind in the mountains, and ordinary people could not hear it at all, but it was very clear in the ears of Prince Longqing.

Temple masters all came out. The strong men of the desert tribe and even the elders in the senator’s association were all attracted to the west. The Tiancai Mountain to the east is now very clear, but…

“Three deacons are missing?”

Prince Longqing looked at the subordinate below the cliff face blankly. He seemed to be just asking, and he couldn’t see the slightest emotion. Only he knew it. He was a little irritated when he heard the name of the deacon.

One of the three missing deacons of the Judgment Division was Luo Weiyang, a subordinate in the cave profound realm, and he was a very powerful subordinate. But this is nothing, the important thing is that he is Luo Kedi’s brother.

Luo Kedi is not a big deal in itself. What’s important is that he is the leader of the most favored guardian of the headmaster.

Because of his gloomy expression, the subordinate under the cliff became more and more nervous, lowered his head, and continued to report: “Mr. Thirteen on the second floor of the college also left the palace. It should be here. I don’t know the specific route, I only know that I should be walking with the bookworm from Mochiyuan.”

The prince Longqing raised his sword eyebrows slowly, with a faint smile on his face, and said to himself: “It’s kind of interesting, I have really started to walk the world, but you have walked in such a weak world for thousands of years. Right?”

Then the smile gradually faded, turning into frost with the cold wind blowing on his cheeks.

As a young strong man who is absolutely qualified to be proud, Prince Longqing has only lost once in Ning Que’s hands in his life, so his pride will naturally turn into anger after hearing Ning Que’s name. And unhappy.

Although he hid well, he was still peaceful and calm. From climbing in the spring to climbing today in the severe winter, no one in the temple could tell, but he himself knew that the anger and displeasure were always there.

When leaving Chang’an City in the spring, thanks to the gift of that failure, he saw the threshold of the realm of life-knowledge, waiting for him to step over on the other side of the mountain, but because of that failure, he saw the other side of the mountain. During this period of time, there has been no way to approach the threshold, let alone go beyond one step.

Anger and dissatisfaction will not have an essential impact on Dao Xin, but the unwillingness and imbalance hidden in it are definitely the greatest damage to Dao Xin’s transparency.

He was very proud, so he was unwilling. He didn’t dare to question the Master’s choice, but he thought that the admission test was not conducted by the Master himself, so there were definitely other reasons why he lost to Ning Que.

Because, he can’t be worse than Ning.

To prove this, he needs to defeat or even crush that guy in all aspects.

This is what the Judgment God said, the head teacher did not say, but the cold eyes before leaving said so, and the contemptuous smile of the mad woman Ye Hongyu said so, so he knew he had to do this.

“I will wait for you in this mountain.”

Prince Longqing looked at the black and humble stones at the foot of Xuefeng, laughed at himself and said: “I will become the first person in history to defeat the world, but there is no sense of accomplishment?”
