Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 12: Suffering from farewell

Time always flies very fast during the days of cultivation.

After a heavy rain at the end of summer, autumn arrives silently.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

In the past six months, Tang Jie followed Xu Muyang to cleanse the pulse and practice formation, and lived a fulfilling life.

Today in the yard, Tang Jie was boxing.

What he was doing at the moment was a set of arm-through boxing, which Xu Muyang taught him, and was used to cleanse the meridians in conjunction with the Zangxiang Sutra.

At this moment, he was fighting vigorously, and spiritual energy flowed through his body from time to time, traveling throughout his body. Every time the spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, it brought Tang Jie an extremely comfortable feeling, and at the same time, his body More robust.

Xu Muyang said that this was a sign that his meridians had not expanded to the limit.

After the punch, Tang Jie felt the spiritual energy in his body disappearing little by little, feeling extremely reluctant to give up.

Logically, he can continue to practice, but Xu Muyang said that practicing more diligently is not always better. Too strong and overbearing training methods will overdraw the human body's potential, and may even injure itself, leaving hidden dangers. A proper balance of work and rest is the best.

So he could only stop now, but he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I don't know when this day will end."

"What? Can't wait?" Xu Muyang in the pavilion was drawing on paper with a pen, but what he drew were some strange formations and talismans. At this moment, he heard Tang Jie's statement and laughed. : "For you, the days of cleaning the veins and laying the foundation may be boring, but do you know how many cultivators are hoping that God will give them a chance to come back again."

"Brother Xu taught you a lesson." Tang Jie hurriedly replied.

Thinking back to my school days, I don’t know how many students yearned to run into society early and escape the prison-like days of school. Only after struggling in the society and hitting your head and bleeding will you recall the beauty of school life.

Tang Jie is a person who has experienced one life. Although that life did not bring him any powerful golden fingers, it gave him a rich understanding of life, which enabled his thinking to break away from the shackles of age early and know what talents are. is the most important. The sigh just now was just a momentary expression of helplessness. If it really made him give up laying the foundation and practice directly, he wouldn't do it.

Xu Muyang has seen many immortal cultivating disciples before. They cannot bear the loneliness and boredom. Even the most talented ones often practice hard every day because they are eager to practice as soon as possible.

In the world of immortality cultivation, there are not many practitioners who practice immortality without laying a solid foundation. There are really many people who do not know how to cherish their bodies in order to achieve success as soon as possible, and who do not hesitate to encourage others with a sense of luck.

Therefore, he greatly appreciated Tang Jie's calmness.

At this moment he smiled and said: "Now that we have finished practicing boxing, let's learn today's formation."

Tang Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Array formation, like medical skills, is a discipline whose knowledge reserve is greater than its technical reserve. Therefore, it does not require any restraint.

In the past six months, Tang Jie has only practiced Zangxiang Sutra twice a day, which only takes half an hour in total. Most of the time has been spent learning formations.

Sometimes Tang Jie would wonder if Xu Muyang deliberately used this method to divert his interests and hobbies?

Compared with the slow progress of pulse cleansing, Tang Jie can be said to have made rapid progress in learning the formation.

This is not all because he has a good foundation in mathematics.

The formation itself is all-encompassing, including Yili, magic, geography, and weather. Considering the existence of some ancient formations, and even history and humanities, magic is only one component of it. .

The key is that his adult thinking allows him to learn things much faster than the average twelve-year-old boy. People often say that children have strong learning ability, but children's strong learning ability means that they are always imitating, but their knowledge tolerance is far inferior to that of adults.

What a primary school student learns in one year is not as large as what a high school student learns in one month.

As a result, Tang Jie's learning in formations was very fast, and the memory ability and skills brought by examination-oriented education laid a good foundation for him. In only half a year, Tang Jie mastered almost all the basic knowledge required for formations. Mastery, Xu Muyang also praised him.

At this moment, Xu Muyang flicked his hand, and the formation pattern talisman he drew earlier flew into Tang Jie's hands: "Let's set up the formation according to this picture."

"Spirit Detection Array?" Tang Jie glanced at the array diagram, and now he could clearly distinguish the function of each array diagram. This spirit measuring array is used to test the movement of the spiritual energy in the surrounding world, so that immortal cultivators can find places with abundant spiritual energy to practice. It is also one of the simplest arrays.

Usually cultivators themselves also have the art of gazing, but the formation coincides with the principles of heaven and earth, and the effect is much stronger than the art of gazing.

"Yes, this time you must set up a complete usable spirit detection array, and the range must be three miles."

"Understood." Tang Jie replied seriously. He raised his hand, and a spiritual light shot out from his hand, formed a spiritual line in the air, and landed on the ground.

His Jade Gate has been opened and he can breathe in spiritual energy, but his spiritual eyes have not been opened yet and cannot be stored yet. Therefore, as long as he absorbs the spiritual energy and uses it before it dissipates, he can still use it to arrange the spiritual array, but this is the only thing The formation technique is extremely inconsistent and cannot be completed in one go. The effect is limited and the efficiency is appallingly low. Its performance is basically like a child's drawing.

At this moment, Tang Jie was setting up the formation stroke by stroke, while Xu Muyang was observing from the side, giving him some pointers from time to time.

After an hour of planning, the formation was finally finished. Tang Jie input a spiritual energy to activate it, and saw a wave of strange clouds and mist appearing in the formation, rolling up and down, and even white air pillars curling up.

"Successful!" Tang Jie shouted with joy.

The appearance of air pillars means that the formation has been successful. Those air pillars represent the surrounding spiritual energy. The formation pattern has scales, and different scales represent different positions. The air pillars can be large or small, with different colors. There are also different shades, which represent different levels of spiritual energy.

This is his first time to set up an array, with a range of only three miles. If Xu Muyang had done it himself, he could have completed it in a matter of seconds, and his range of spirit detection could reach thousands of miles.

At this moment, Tang Jie saw the wisps of air rising in the formation and felt extremely happy. When he thought that half a year of hard work had finally yielded results, he couldn't help but feel grateful to Xu Muyang from the bottom of his heart. This even made him feel so happy. He felt that the formation path that wasted time was no longer so annoying, and instead felt that it had merits.

Many things can only be truly loved after enjoying their achievements.

Xu Muyang is also deeply satisfied with this: "There is still a huge flaw in the connection of the formation patterns. The formation patterns are the place where spiritual energy can pass. It is not enough to draw the formation patterns. You also need to clear the formation patterns to allow the spiritual energy to pass. No problem. Look at this formation pattern. You have repainted it twice before and after, and there are breaks in the middle. On the surface, they appear to be connected as one, but in fact there is only a trace of a path for spiritual energy to pass through. Laying out the formation is not a drawing, not a pattern. It's fine as long as it's neat and tidy, but what's really important is what's inside. Look here, here and here... Of course there's a reason why your aura is not strong enough to support continuous formations, but it's also because your technique is unfamiliar."

"Well, I understand, it means that the road needs to be dredged. No matter how wide the road is, if it is not dredged well, it will still be blocked. Sometimes a breaking point will cause the entire road to be paralyzed."

"Yes. The other thing is that you are too shallow in Yili. The spirit detection array is an array for observing spiritual energy. Since it is an observation array, the operation of the Qianmen should be strengthened. The Qianmen is the sky and sits in the center of the square altar. , listen to the spirit of all directions, so the spirit detection array should be based on Qianmen, what are you doing to strengthen Xunmen?"

Tang Jie scratched his head in embarrassment: "Xunmen is the wind, light and agile, and mainly changes and distances. I think you require this spirit detection array to be able to observe three miles away, so..."

"Sacrifice the basics to seek the bottom!" Xu Muyang criticized unceremoniously: "What you have to do is to set up the spirit detection array, not simply meet my requirements!"

"Yes, I understand." Tang Jie replied seriously.

Cultivation of immortality is not an exam-oriented education. While Tang Jie benefited from the experience of his previous life, he was also subject to his past life thinking. Fortunately, Xu Muyang pointed out in time and made him understand his mistake.

At this moment, Xu Muyang continued to explain to him the shortcomings of this formation. When he talked about it, he shot out spiritual threads from his fingers to repair the spirit detection array for Tang Jie. The spiritual array is getting bigger and bigger, and its radiation range is getting wider and wider. Not only are the clouds and mist rolling like the sea, but even the mountains are faintly visible, and it seems that the entire world is included in it, and everything is under control.

In Xu Muyang's hands, the spirit detection array turned out to be a reflection of the real world. Tang Jie was shocked when he saw it, but Xu Muyang was unfazed and just said: "The arrays are connected, many At that time, it may be just a small change, and the formation will be completely different. When the spirit detection array is upgraded to the extreme, it can also reflect the world and become a great thousand formations. It is not only the spirit detection array, but also other formations. The combination of these, Change, improvement, are extremely complex and mysterious, and you may not be able to study them all in a lifetime. Do you still want to say that you are not interested in it?"

Tang Jie chuckled: "I know I was wrong. I will study hard and make progress every day!"

Xu Muyang laughed at what he said, and was about to say something else when suddenly a purple light flashed in the formation.

Xu Muyang was slightly stunned and looked into the array, only to see a faint flash of light within the array.

"Purple energy rising into the sky?" Xu Muyang blurted out, his expression suddenly changing.

"Purple energy rising into the sky? What is that?" After all, Tang Jie had only been cultivating immortality for a short time and did not understand the meaning.

Xu Muyang did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

"What happened? Brother Xu." Tang Jie saw that Xu Muyang looked wrong and asked with concern.

Xu Muyang pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said: "It's nothing, you don't need to ask about this. Oh, by the way, you and I have been together for half a year, but we haven't had a drink together yet." ? You have successfully set up the formation for the first time today, so you should celebrate it. Let's go out and buy some wine and food. Today, we brothers will sing to the moon here and have a drink. Oh, by the way, I want Lao Chenji’s sauce duck."

"But Chen Ji is in Anyang Mansion." Tang Jie replied with some embarrassment.

"Then just take a trip, doesn't matter." Xu Muyang replied with a casual wave of his hand.

"It's getting late, so it's not a good time to go to Anyang Mansion now, and Chen Ji's ducks always sell very well, and they usually can't be sold at night."

Xu Muyang's face froze, and Tang Jie said: "But there is some aged wine in the kitchen, which was left by the previous owner of this house. In addition, there are two chickens raised in the backyard. If Brother Xu wants to eat them, I Then I went to kill him and serve him as a drink for Brother Xu."

As he spoke, Xu Muyang hurried to the kitchen without waiting for him to speak.

Xu Muyang frowned, but in the end he said nothing. Looking at the purple energy in the formation, he just sighed helplessly.

Tang Jie's hands and feet were very fast, and half an hour later, dinner was ready.

At this time, the sky is dark and the moon is hanging in the distance.

Xu Muyang and Tang Jie sat across from each other in a small pavilion, eating white chopped chicken and drinking rice wine.

The moonlight was beautiful. Xu Muyang stared blankly at the sky. Under the golden clouds, the moonlight turned into colorful light and fell in the courtyard, bringing with it a golden night glow.

"This sunset... is so beautiful!" Xu Muyang said suddenly.

"Hmm." Tang Jie saw Xu Muyang's strange expression and did not dare to answer the question casually.

Xu Muyang was already thinking to himself: "This sunset is the glorious afterglow of the golden flames. It protects us from the invasion of foreign enemies. It protects the Qixia Realm and keeps its spiritual energy circulating. We cannot escape, but at the same time it is our shackles, the shackles of the Qixia people, which prevents us from leaving this world easily... I really want to go out and see the Xingluo Great Thousand Realm."

The Xingluo Daqian Realm is the collective name for the world outside Qixia Realm by those immortals who have achieved enlightenment. It is said that there are countless large and small worlds outside Qixia Realm.

If Qixia Realm is the earth, then Xingluo Daqian Realm is undoubtedly the universe.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to leave Qixia Realm. The golden flames and wind shrouding the sky are like a natural barrier. Even the spiritual energy cannot escape. Ordinary practitioners will be burned to ashes even if they just approach. Only the true immortals who set foot on the Immortal Platform can fly out of the world against the golden flames and the strong wind, and live freely for nine days.

Some people say that this is the self-protection measure of the Qixia Realm. It is precisely because of the presence of this golden flame that most of the immortal cultivators are forced to return to their hometown. The spiritual energy stolen from the heaven and earth also returns to the heaven and earth, making it It can be repeated over and over again.

If there is no Golden Flame Gangfeng, the immortal cultivators will leave at will. Over time, their spiritual energy will inevitably be exhausted.

For this reason, in the eyes of some extreme people, every immortal who ascends and leaves is also a sinner who steals spiritual energy and does not return it.

Fortunately, very few people can ascend, and the real loss of spiritual energy in Qixia Realm is only a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Xu Muyang suddenly mentioned the Xingluo Great Thousand Realm, and Tang Jie was also a little confused.

Xu Muyang drank up the wine in his glass and filled it up for himself. He muttered to himself: "When I was a child, my father was very strict with me. Every day I was either practicing or learning how to manage the family. Because of my rebellious nature, I always looked for every opportunity to sneak out to play. Every time I was caught by my father, I got a good beating. At that time, my second sister protected me. I remember one time, I sneaked out to play, and in a moment of naughty, I actually killed the family's children. Half of the small attic was burned. It was the second sister who came forward and said that she was the one who burned it. Unfortunately, my father was not confused and still found me as the real culprit... When the board fell, it really hurt."

Tang Jie listened silently and did not speak.

Xu Muyang was still thinking about himself: "So I started planning an escape and wanted to escape from the Xu family. Unfortunately, I ran away three times and was caught all the time. One of them, I even ran out of Moqiu, but I was still caught. My father caught him and beat him severely again."

Speaking of this, Xu Muyang laughed softly: "Later I found out that I have the blood of the Xu family. When I was born, this blood was recorded in the ancestral hall and left my life. No matter where I run, people from the Xu family can find me through the life lamp, unless I can escape from Qixia Realm and enter the Xingluo Daqian Realm. So from then on, I dreamed that one day, I want to leave this world. Of course, it was just a wishful thinking at that time. Only later did I realize how difficult it is to become an immortal. My Xu family is one of the four major families, but I can’t even become a true king of Zifu. If I want to To escape from this world, I can only think of other ways. From that time on, I began to delve into the Tao of Formation... The Tao of Formation is so high and deep that the earth can be divided into prisons to form a world of its own. This Qixia Realm is like a prison between heaven and earth. The cage itself can be regarded as a magnificent natural formation of heaven and earth. I devoted myself to breaking the formation and concentrating on the formation. As time went by, I completely fell in love with it, and the more I cultivated, the deeper I became. In fact, I forgot the original purpose. ”

He looked at Tang Jie: "You said you wanted great freedom and freedom, but do you know that this dream seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. How can you have true freedom in your life? Even if one day you truly If you are successful in cultivation, as long as you are still trapped in this Qixia world, trapped in this cage of heaven and earth, you will not be able to be free and at ease!"

"So as long as you are still in Qixia Realm, you can't escape pursuit, right? That purple energy soaring into the sky...are people from the Tianshen Palace chasing you?" Tang Jie said lightly.

Xu Muyang was stunned, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"Then you asked me to buy Chen Ji's soy sauce duck just because you wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of me?"

"Yes." Xu Muyang nodded: "But then I thought, I don't know exactly when they will come. What if they don't come when you go, and you bump into them again when you come back. ? So you make excuses not to go, so I’ll give it up. Why don’t I explain it to you here so that you don’t die in confusion.”

"Then why don't you run?"

"I can't run away... I was in the maze in Cuiwei Mountain. They haven't chased me for half a year. Logically speaking, there is no way they can find me again. Now that they are chasing me, they naturally know where I am. No matter how hard I run, they can't find me." It's useless." Xu Muyang shook his head slightly, with deep sadness in his eyes.

The Tang Dynasty was greatly shaken. He remembered what Xu Muyang had said before about the blood of the Xu family. He finally understood and blurted out: "Your family betrayed you! Purple Qi soared into the sky...Purple Mansion Realm?"

Tang Jie understood everything at once.

Purple energy means huge fluctuations of spiritual energy. Purple energy soaring into the sky indicates the appearance of people with strong spiritual pressure. However, the number of Zifu realm is very small in Qixia world, and it is almost impossible to encounter it in this remote place. .

At this moment, the purple energy in the spirit detection array is still approaching Anyang Mansion, and it is going straight to this place.

If there was a slight possibility that it was a passing True Lord of Zifu before, now looking at the aura that came straight from him, it was clearly aimed at Xu Muyang.

The speed is not too fast. If the opponent is not good at flying, or he is mature enough, he is not afraid of him escaping at all. Considering the terror of Zhenjun Zifu, it is probably the latter.

Xu Muyang can't even defeat an ordinary person in the Tianshen Palace. Now that the True Lord of Zifu is here, why should he resist? Tang Jie looked at Xu Muyang with horror in his eyes, but Xu Muyang's heart was as calm as an ancient well.

"How could they do this to you? You are from the Xu family!" Tang Jie stood up and yelled.

He won't be angry if Tianshen Palace chases him, and Xu Muyang won't be afraid either. At worst, he will just run away.

But people from the Xu family actually betrayed Xu Muyang, which Tang Jie couldn't understand at all.

Xu Muyang just shook his head: "If you can survive for half a year, you can be considered benevolent and righteous. Tang Jie, you don't really understand the cruelty of the world of immortality, nor do you understand the status of the six major sects in the Qixia world. What are the four major families? They are all nothing but small fish and shrimps in front of the six major sects... The true king of Zi Mansion can sweep the four major families by one person. My Xu family is limited by the cultivation method, so far no one can enter the purple family. Mansion, and the six major sects, each sect has at least three true kings, deities, and even powerful men in the Immortal Stage realm. Father, he has to bow his head!"

Tang Jie felt despair in his heart when he heard this: "Do you think you just accept your fate?"

"What if you don't accept your fate?" Xu Muyang smiled, drank the glass of wine again, and then continued: "Actually, I knew that this day would come. It is luck to be able to survive for the past six months. This is also the reason for the family In the end, you took care of me. I owe my family so much. If I can have an afterlife, I can only seek repayment in the next life. Tang Jie, let me tell you, you cannot hate my family for this matter, and you are not allowed to seek revenge from them in the future. ."

"What...what?" Tang Jie was stunned, revenge?

Where to start?

Xu Muyang has quickly said: "Yes, remember, I am born as a member of the Xu family, and die as a ghost of the Xu family. In the future, if you succeed in cultivation, if you can still remember the kindness I did to you, then I will treat you as a ghost of the Xu family." You can only repay kindness, not revenge."

"But why should I..."

"That's it!" Xu Muyang flipped his wrist and stuffed the Xuan Bingjian he never left his hand into Tang Jie's arms: "Jiuli Xuanbingjian is the key to breaking the formation left by the soldier master. The formation pattern is the Nine Jue Immortal Formation. It can evolve naturally and has endless mysteries. Only by understanding it can we truly decipher the Nine Jue Immortal Formation. And when I first studied the weapon manual, I found that in addition to the formation pattern, there seemed to be a strange mind on it. It’s just that I haven’t been able to understand it. Even Tianshen Palace doesn’t know about this matter. I just think that this weapon guide is the key. You should study it more when you have time. Don’t miss the opportunity. In fact, I have always felt that the weapon master was The layout may not be that simple. Although the Nine Jue Immortal Killing Formation is an ancient formation with extraordinary power, it is also for us. It may not be effective for those beings who can make him fall. In this case, just one The big formation is obviously not enough, and the secret may lie in this military lesson."

Xu Muyang then handed Tang Jie a thick booklet, several bottles of elixirs, and his sword: "The book is my experience in practicing formations over the years. You can give it to me." Put it away. Before your formation has reached the level of natural illusion and insight into fire, it is best not to easily try to understand the weapons, otherwise your mind will be controlled and your life will be in danger. As for the green light sword, it is my only magic weapon, although you can't use it yet. Its function is enough for self-defense. Others are considered ordinary. Just sell it for money. I am not aggressive, so I have no love for foreign objects such as magic weapons. I really have nothing good to give you, but as long as If you carefully study the true explanation of the formation I left for you and understand the formation diagram, sooner or later you will be able to break through the Nine Ultimate Immortal Killing Formation and obtain the secret treasure inside."

"But..."

"No but, leave here quickly. They have never seen you and don't know your existence. Even if I die, I will not let them get the Xuan Wenjian!" Xu Muyang shouted, in the formation The purple energy is getting closer and closer.

"No! I won't leave! I don't care about the Xu family, I only care about you!" Tang Jie shouted: "I will not leave you alone!"

At that moment, he suddenly understood ~IndoMTL.com~ In the past six months of getting along, Xu Muyang had indeed developed feelings for him and regarded him as a younger brother. Why didn't he regard him as his own big brother?

No matter what, he couldn't watch Xu Muyang die like this!

Xu Muyang smiled and said: "You don't have to be so excited. I'm not going to die for you. If I really want to survive, I just need to hand over the weapon mirror. In fact, there is still a chance of surviving. It's just that I This person is not very popular. If someone wants to plot against me, I will definitely retaliate. Instead of betting on the slim chance of survival, it is better to take revenge! I give the Bingjian to you, which is to use your hand to take revenge on the Tianshen Palace. It brings you danger and trouble, so you don’t have to be too moved. Besides, if they don’t get the warning, my Xu family will be much safer!"

As he spoke, Xu Muyang stood up and grabbed Tang Jie. Countless spiritual threads appeared like threads, wrapping Tang Jie like a spider web. Then Xu Muyang took out a piece of paper, folded it a few times, and turned it into a paper horse.

Xu Muyang drew a few strokes on the paper horse and threw it to the ground. Hearing Herod's cry, a strong white horse appeared.

Xu Muyang threw Tang Jie onto the horse, and the spiritual thread automatically wrapped around the white horse. He slapped the horse's **** hard, and the horse ran away.

"Brother Xu, don't let me go!" Tang Jie shouted desperately on the horse.

Xu Muyang has shouted: "Go north, don't come back!"

"No!" Tang Jie shouted desperately, but the spiritual thread was unbreakable and tied him to the horse. The horse ran wildly without stopping.

Watching Tang Jie's back disappear, Xu Muyang finally sat down.

He filled the pot with wine and murmured in a low voice: "It's a pity... I didn't have time to send you to the Xiyue Sect after all. You will have to walk on your own in the future. ”

As he spoke, he began to wait quietly for his fate to come.
