Chapter 622

~16 min read 3,028 words

Those who are constrained by rules can never break through.

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei has been mixing in the martial world since he was a child, tasting the warmth and coldness of human feelings. Sometimes he likes to be petty and take small advantages, but these are habits formed over many years.

Being at the bottom of the martial world, kindness will only be bullied.

Since following Li Yan and the others on their travels, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei has restrained himself a lot and gradually adapted, but for the Mystic Sect, he is ultimately an outsider.

It is precisely because of this that he has no concept.

Perhaps it was the contact with the Qingcheng Sect these days. The first thing Sha Hearing Sha Lifei thought of when seeing this sentence was that shocking red-dust sword of Cheng Jianxian.

He had seen the sword, but it was just an ordinary iron sword.

Cheng Jianxian was even at the end of his rope and could no longer use fierce Dharma techniques, but that sword still cut off Lu Sheng's beautiful dream.

He asked, and it was called Sword Intent.

So when seeing the description of the Mount Emei elder in the "Meishan Firearm Method Compendium," Sha Hearing Sha Lifei had a thought:

Why can't a gun be practiced like a sword?

In the first volume of the "Meishan Firearm Method Compendium," there is a mention of a new firearm refining method:

Saltpeter and sulfur as bone, cinnabar as soul. Lead and mercury turn into evil. Thunder talismans as guide. Whenever making guns and cannons, engrave the twenty-eight constellations on the chamber, engrave the fire-avoiding pattern on the bottom, and carve the evil-breaking seal on the mouth, then the fire will roar like a dragon, and the bullets will fly like falling stars.

Although it is just a hypothesis, it also points out the train of thought.

Treat firearms as Dharma artifacts to refine.

Nourish the gun with heart blood, communicate with the spirit through instrument sense, perhaps it can reach a brand-new realm, man and gun as one, with unparalleled power.

Of course, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei didn't tell anyone.

He knew what he was doing.

Cultivating Dharma techniques is inherently a dangerous thing. Those who are injured and suffer backlash are everywhere, not to mention walking his own path.

Neither Li Yan nor Wang Wang Daoxuan would approve.

But Sha Hearing Sha Lifei still decided to do it.

A person's life is too short, and he doesn't want to leave regrets.

Collecting his thoughts, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei carefully put away the "Meishan Firearm Method Compendium," tightened the White-Clothed Great Scholar's prayer beads, and chanted a curse to open the altar.

He was used to seeing Wang Wang Daoxuan open the altar and was very familiar with the process, but this was the first time he had performed it himself.

Spraying water from his mouth, stepping on the gale steps, he made mistakes again and again.

Finally, the altar was opened successfully. With the help of the strand of gale evil qi he had drawn in, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei finally entered the spirit-storing space.

To build a building, one must first store the spirit.

After these days of effort, he had already succeeded.

They saw a blurry phantom standing in front, wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a coir raincoat, and a phantom of a gun on his back.

The spirit-storing appearance usually has a blueprint.

Like those disciples of the large Mystic Sects, whether they contemplate gods and Buddhas or contemplate the patriarchs, they all have fixed processes and will not make mistakes at all.

But the remaining wild paths can only rely on luck.

Except for Li Yan, who is influenced by the Great Luo Dharma Body, the gods contemplated by the others are all reactions of their subconscious.

A coir raincoat represents the wind and frost of the martial world.

A blurry face indicates that the path of spirit-storing is undecided.

The gun behind him foretells his path of cultivation.

What Sha Hearing Sha Lifei didn't know was that when others store their spirit, they generally have an appearance first and cannot directly possess a Dharma artifact.

Even Li Yan only obtained the Soul-Hooking Rope later...

The cold wind howled, and the flying snow rolled.

Lu San was wrapped in a bear-skin cloak, squatting in a sheltered place, with the little white fox, the hawk, and the mice all huddled in his arms.

Wu Ba had the simplest mind and was already fast asleep.

He never thought much, following the team to have food and drink, and everything was handled by Li Yan, Wang Wang Daoxuan, and others. He just needed to take action.

And Wang Wang Daoxuan looked at the opposite side with a face full of worry.

The cave dwelling there had been blocked, but even so, his Yin-Yang Qi-Viewing Eyes could see strands of evil qi gathering.

"Daoist, don't worry."

Lu San said in a muffled voice, "Old Sha has deep fortune and will definitely succeed."

"Yes, he will definitely succeed."

Wang Wang Daoxuan also nodded slightly and looked into the distance.

Li Yan had many things to worry about, Lu San and Sha Hearing Sha Lifei assisted, and as the oldest member of the team, he was mainly responsible for sitting in the rear.

Being older, many things could be seen clearly.

In the team, he was most worried about Sha Hearing Sha Lifei.

Li Yan, Lu San, and even Wu Ba had astonishing talent. Things that seemed very simple to them might be a natural chasm for others.

This was also Sha Hearing Sha Lifei's knot in his heart, always afraid of dragging the team down.

For him, the real difficulty was not building the building.

It was crossing this hurdle in his heart!

Unknowingly, the sky gradually brightened.

Finally, a sound came from the cave in the distance.

With a rumble.

The stones piled at the cave entrance were pushed over heavily.

Looking at Old Sha running out excitedly, Wang Wang Daoxuan finally showed a smile, and Lu San, who hadn't slept all night, also muttered and entered dreamland.

After Sha Hearing Sha Lifei succeeded, Wang Wang Daoxuan also began to cultivate.

The divine gale given by Li Yan had already been stored by him in the talisman card purchased from Qingcheng. Unlike the Gou Die, which was so secretive, the fierce qi made him tremble in his heart at all times.

Fortunately, Li Yan had already explained his experience.

The "Five-Head Divine Formula" of Wang Wang Daoxuan also recorded detailed methods, so he easily integrated the divine gale into his spirit-storing.

His spirit-storing was very simple, just an old Daoist, no different from the statue in the temple, except for holding a small arrow in his left hand and a straw man in his right hand.

That's right, Wang Wang Daoxuan also had secrets.

His talent for curse methods was quite high, and the Seven-Arrow Secret Curse had already condensed into a divine statue Dharma artifact, representing that this technique had reached an extremely profound level.

Wang Wang Daoxuan was also too lazy to talk about it.

After all, he had always been deeply ashamed of this matter.

His ambition was to be a Daoist who dispels disasters and prays for blessings. Killing people at every turn was not his wish.

And after absorbing the divine gale, as he practiced the Dharma formula, a mass of white mist gradually surged on the chest of the divine statue.

This was his divine ability.

Consuming this mass of qi could enhance the power of Dharma techniques.

The longer one cultivates, the longer the time and the more times it can be blessed.

By the time Wang Wang Daoxuan pushed open the stone pile and came out, it was already evening.

"Little Brother Yan hasn't come out yet?"

He looked around, and his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

"It's okay."

Lu San comforted, "I can hear his heartbeat, it's still steady, just a little faster than before, it should be ending soon."

"That's good."

Wang Wang Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, huddled next to the fire, took the meat soup boiled by Lu San, and filled his stomach with the roasted cake.

However, by the time the sky darkened, Li Yan still hadn't left seclusion.

The Bai family woman looked outside the cave anxiously, "Today is the fifteenth, Senior Sister Long will send a message. Everyone wait here, I'll go and see over there."

Wang Wang Daoxuan understood in his heart and looked at Sha Hearing Sha Lifei next to him, "Old Sha, you follow her, so there can be some support."

"Okay."

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei nodded and agreed readily.

He knew what Wang Wang Daoxuan was thinking, nothing more than being afraid that Li Yan hadn't come out yet, and he couldn't save face to go see Long Long Yaner.

But to be honest, he wasn't worried at all.

He already had blind trust in Li Yan.

Soon, the two left the mountain cave and disappeared into the dark wind and snow...

Lu San was right, Li Yan was indeed fine.

It was just that there were some small twists and turns before.

When he was absorbing the spiritual charm in the Goddess Xiwangmu shrine, inexplicably, strands of incense fire gathered from the void.

Silently, ignoring the distance of space.

And the Goddess Xiwangmu statue above, like a mountain, also changed, seeming to come alive, with two stone eyes looking down at him.

Li Yan didn't care at first. This bit of incense fire power could be easily crushed by gale evil qi.

However, things took a turn.

These incense fire powers quickly integrated into the spirit-storing space.

In an instant, the Yin Soul Sea roared, Luo Feng Mountain shook, and the sky turned into a blood-red color, as if countless people were fighting...

The damage was not great, but the commotion was not small.

Li Yan immediately understood what this was.

Five Remnants of Heavenly Calamity!

The Goddess Xiwangmu in ancient times was a fierce god, governing the "Five Remnants of Heavenly Calamity" and the "Undying Medicine."

The so-called "Five Remnants of Heavenly Calamity" are the five types of ancient disasters that the ancient ancestors feared: plague, war, famine, flood, and earthquake.

And its incense fire power mixed into the spirit-storing space, borrowing that little bit of gale evil qi, actually turned into five kinds of strange qi, which were very difficult to deal with.

Li Yan spent half a day before completely clearing them.

Why does it have the meaning of evil qi?

He was very familiar with this feeling.

A guess popped up in Li Yan's heart. Could it be that someone is using the ancient belief in the Goddess Xiwangmu to condense evil qi?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

I just don't know what method the other party used?

Of course, he couldn't worry about it for now.

After clearing all the strange qi, the divine shrine of the Eight Generals of the Inner Altar also began to continue to condense. Soon, phantoms appeared inside.

The first one, yellow turban ghost face, black robe and silver armor, gold belt and red hair, hemp shoes holding a sword, and a golden eagle on his hand, full of fierce evil qi.

This is Marshal Wei, the Flying Eagle Official of Fengdu, ranked in the Northern Mansion, in charge of the Li Palace, patrolling the Nine Netherworlds, recording life and death...

Soon, the second one also took shape.

Human-shaped evil ghost appearance, sideburns, yellow headscarf, black robe and iron armor with white trousers, yellow leather shoes, holding a short-handled golden hammer.

This is Marshal Meng, the Giant Heavenly Warrior of Fengdu who pursues and executes. Among the eight generals, his strength is the most powerful, specifically responsible for execution...

Compared to the Eight Generals of the Outer Altar, the Eight Generals of the Inner Altar are more powerful and have their own unique abilities.

Releasing eagles, releasing dogs, divine speed, divine strength, suppressing evil...

This is also the second layer of change in Li Yan's Fengdu method.

If these yin generals are summoned individually, they can be attached to the straw man paper figures to display their unique abilities.

And as the Eight Generals of the Inner and Outer Altars all took shape, Luo Feng Mountain became even richer. In the center were four divine shrines, a palace, and sixteen yin general shrines guarding the inside and outside.

Vaguely, it already had the prototype of the underworld...

On the other side, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei and the other also arrived at the Boundary of Yin and Yang.

The Boundary of Yin and Yang at night was even more eerie. Looking around, it was pitch black, with only the howling gale and flying snow hitting their faces.

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei stood on tiptoe and looked for a long time, finally unable to help asking, "When exactly?"

The Bai family woman replied, "Zi hour."

"Zi hour?"

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei took out his pocket watch and looked at it with a fire starter. His face suddenly became ugly, "Zi hour has already passed, I'm afraid something happened."

This Bai family woman was also a little flustered, "I don't know either. Should we wait a little longer? Perhaps Senior Sister Long hasn't woken up yet..."

"No time to wait."

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei knew the principle that saving people is like fighting a fire, and said in a deep voice, "You go back to bring reinforcements. Perhaps the pets of Brother Lu San can get in."

"I'll go over first to see where we can go down."

"Okay."

The Bai family woman seemed to have found a backbone, turned her head and ran.

And Sha Hearing Sha Lifei took a torch from the bag behind him, lit it, stepped on the knee-deep accumulated snow, and walked towards the cliff step by step.

He was originally a dark-strength expert, his body method was flexible, and now that he had become a sorcerer, his body divine ability and five senses were astonishing, so he could easily avoid those dangerous areas.

Not long after, he arrived at the side of the cliff.

He held the torch and looked down. He saw the black wind howling, the flying snow rolling up, and could not hear any movement at all.

"Melon-headed, doesn't let people worry..."

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei muttered, looked around again, and finally saw a thick hemp rope tied to a rock, hanging down towards the cliff.

He gritted his teeth, climbed down along the rope.

On the cliff, cold ice condensed, very slippery. Even with his skills, he was cautious, his back tight.

The mountain wind howled, as if it would blow him off at any time.

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei held the cold hemp rope and moved down bit by bit.

Finally, he arrived next to the protruding old pine tree.

Looking closely, Sha Hearing Sha Lifei was speechless.

He saw a tree hole in the old pine tree, which had been blocked by cold ice, and many bright fluorescent lights were flying and dancing inside.

It turned out that the tree hole was frozen.

Clang!

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei didn't say a word, drew the Guanshan knife from his waist, made a knife flower, and suddenly exerted force from his wrist.

With a crack, the frozen ice shattered in response.

Buzz!

Dense insects flew out.

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei felt his eyes dazzled by the light, and the whole thing rushed onto his face.

These were fluorescent insect gu. Although they looked beautiful from afar, each one looked fierce, like lice that had grown wings.

Rushing onto his face, they actually started to bite.

"Long, it's me!"

Sha Hearing Sha Lifei shouted while flapping his hands.

Fortunately, his lower body skills were stable, and his legs were tightly clamped to the old pine tree, so he didn't fall.

Strangely, as soon as he shouted, the insect gu stopped attacking and flew around in the night sky.

Sometimes turning into Taiji, sometimes turning into Bagua...

The fire insects flew and changed in the sky, and the scene was magnificent.

If Li Yan were here, he would feel a bit familiar, similar to the drone performance in his previous life, but much simpler.

And Sha Hearing Sha Lifei had never seen this scene, and was immediately fascinated.

His eyes became dazed, and his legs went soft.

This insect gu could actually use light to cast illusions.

Inside the cave, the accumulated snow that never melted all year round condensed into cyan-blue ice crystals, the cold air was like a knife, and a person sat in the center, white clothes like snow, it was Long Long Yaner.

She had already woken up, fasting for several months, her whole body was as thin as a stick, her face was pale, only her eyes were becoming brighter and brighter.

"Fool."

Hearing Sha Hearing Sha Lifei's shout, her brows frowned slightly.

After passing the life-and-death barrier, she had re-condensed her natal gu, but just after recovering her Dharma techniques, coupled with her weak body, she still couldn't control it, so she mistakenly confused Sha Hearing Sha Lifei.

The gu insects outside were called "Frost Moths," which looked beautiful, but both the light and the scales on their wings had hallucinogenic effects.

Feeling Sha Hearing Sha Lifei being confused, Long Long Yaner shook her head slightly, and a strange insect crawled out of her palm, very similar to the strange insect "Qin Snake" from before.

Buzz buzz!

This natal gu made a sound like playing a zither when it vibrated, and it could also cast Dharma techniques. Those who heard the sound could fall into illusions.

Long Long Yaner was originally proficient in the secret techniques of the Gu Sect.

This time, re-condensing her natal gu, although her cultivation had fallen, leaving only the second layer of the building, with the help of the zither insect, her gu technique had moved towards a new realm...
