Chapter 287 Unspeakable
There is no wind on the top of the mountain, and the plum trees press down, covering the sky full of stars.
Mu Zhen saw all the flying knives flying out of the mist, and there was a sense of destruction in the air, and she knew that Lin Bai had already succeeded.
The flying knife hovered on the top of the mountain for a while, as if it was guiding something, and then fell into the mist again.
"Are you becoming more and more proficient?" Mu Zhen murmured.
Within a moment, the flying knives flew out of the mist densely again, heading towards Mu Zhen.
At this moment, the flying knife is ordinary, without any power.
"Don't resist!" Lin Bai's voice came from the mist as the flying knife was about to reach him.
Mu Zhen gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, feeling that her whole body was stabbed like a hedgehog by flying knives.
Then she felt herself falling into the galaxy, passing through the river of time. In a trance, the flying knife left her body and fell into the mist again.
Mu Zhen opened her eyes, every part of her body was in pain, but the knife intention in her body that seemed to be able to grind flesh and blood into powder was gone.
Although the feeling of burden is still there, most of the shackles have undoubtedly been removed.
Mu Zhen gritted her teeth to hold back the pain in her body, looked at the mist, and roughly understood in her heart that Lin Zhuanlun had indeed imitated the method of Taoist Wuxiang and contained the sword intention here.
Yin Yan was not far from Mu Zhen. He stared blankly at Mu Zhen, then at the mist, and finally at the stone statue under the plum tree with reluctance.
Mu Zhen glanced at Yin Yan and ignored it. She swallowed the pill and closed her eyes to recover.
Another quarter of an hour later, Mu Zhen suddenly heard the sound of a blade passing by, and opened her eyes to look.
I saw that Yin Yan had stood up, with his handsless arms spread out, and the flying knife kept spinning in the air.
Then the flying knife stabbed deeply into Yin Yan's bones, flesh and blood. The flying knife trembled and moved, then left the body and returned to the mist.
Yin Yan seemed to have little blood left to shed. He staggered forward, one eye closed tightly, and he had a strange smile.
He felt it for a moment, then opened his single eye and looked at the fog ahead.
"Junior Brother Zhuan Lun is amazingly talented. Although he has only formed the elixir not long ago, he is already extraordinary. I am afraid even a monk in the late stage of the golden elixir will be hard to match."
Yin Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Brother Xu Jing can only be your opponent when he comes."
The so-called "Senior Brother Jing" is the eldest disciple of the Lord of Jiuzhe Mountain, named Jing Situi.
Lin Bai naturally heard Yin Yan's words, but ignored them.
Hidden in the mist, after Lin Bai pulled out the sword intent, the wounds on his body were getting better, his flesh and blood were slowly growing, and his muscles and bones were slowly repairing.
It's just that the extremely pale face is caused by excessive consumption of spiritual power and consciousness.
Lin Bai looked at the gourd and saw subtle lines on the black and white gourd, as if it were branded with a high-crowned plum tree.
In the past, when gourds were used to resist thunder, thunder patterns also appeared.
At this moment, the sword intent permeating the top of the mountain has become extremely thin, making it difficult to lure it into the gourd.
Lin Bai was also at the point of exhaustion, but the gourd was vast, as if it were endless. It did not feel full because of too many thoughts of destruction, and it was not wiped out by the thoughts of destruction. It was really wonderful.
Close your eyes and come to the stone plate.
The outer fog is still there, with a wisp of green on it, and the moon is even whiter.
There is also black wrapped in the mist, but it is extremely thin.
"Now that most of the sword intention has been sealed in the gourd, you can use it as you like. It is only a legacy of great power, just a few waves in the mighty sea. After being worn away by the sun and the moon, and using it from time to time, I’m afraid it won’t last long.”
"After you get out, feel it carefully. If you can grasp even a little bit of the true meaning of destruction, that will be a long-term solution!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai relaxed his mind and recuperated his energy.
Seeing that Lin Bai was still stuck in the mist, Mu Zhen was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
The opportunity was right in front of him, but Mu Zhen was not in a hurry.
"He has had enough to eat and drink during this trip. Do you want to refuse what I promised..."
Mu Zhen flicked the copper bowl in pain.
"Junior Sister Mu, I know that there is a hidden cave where Nascent Soul fell. There must be secrets in it! It's just because of the lack of manpower that it can't be opened..." Yin Yan looked at Mu Zhen alone.
"Jiuzhe Mountain is rich, and there are many Jindan monks at the same level as you. Why not invite your friends? Just like the senior brother Jing you just mentioned." Mu Zhen said.
"I will not seek the skin of a tiger." Yin Yan said very sincerely, word for word: "I am willing to dedicate the secret to Junior Sister Mu and Junior Brother Zhuanlun. I only hope that the two of you will realize the great truth soon."
Mu Zhen looked at Yin Yan and couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "For you, the road to the Nascent Soul is high and high. Being able to pry into the secret of the Nascent Soul will naturally be helpful. But I am a descendant of the Wood Demon. , and someone else spreads the Dharma..."
She shook her head slightly and smiled, and then said: "Why should I dig someone else's grave when a living Nascent Soul can tell me?"
"..." Yin Yan was stunned and could not speak.
"Senior Brother Yin, the road to realizing the Nascent Soul is difficult every step." Mu Zhen pointed to the plum tree in front of her and said, "You have lost."
Yin Yan was trembling all over, staring at Mu Zhen with one eye resentfully.
"Your psychedelic eyes can only be used on people who are seriously injured or upset, and are of no use to me. In fact, I can also do children's tricks." Mu Zhen smiled.
Yin Yan was about to speak, but suddenly he saw the mist recede like a tide and disappear into Lin Bai's sleeves.
The two of them looked over and saw Lin Zhuanlun standing on the top of the mountain, drinking wine from the gourd. He seemed to be a different person. Although his clothes were still in pieces, most of the wounds all over his body had recovered.
There was a sense of fatigue and vicissitudes of life on his face, and there was a streak of silver in his hair.
"How do you feel?" Mu Zhen asked curiously.
"It's like walking the path of the Taoist Master without a form, and it feels like a thousand years." Lin Bai smiled and took another sip of wine, "I walked from birth to death, and I finally got through the difficulties."
He raised the gourd and said with a smile: "It's not in vain for Taoist Wuxiang's love and care."
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zhuan Lun!" Yin Yan stepped forward with one eye wide open, "I guess I have made another progress this time, and I will be able to go further with Jian Xiu in the future."
"Brother Yin is so complimentary." Lin Bai replied with a smile.
Yin Yan stopped and looked at Lin Bai with one eye, frowning for a while, as if thinking about how much murderous intention this Junior Brother Zhuanlun still had.
"I have always done appraisal work and been kind to others. Naturally, the people I met were respectful and polite. I thought that everyone would respect me and let me go. It seems that I was naive. Brother Zhuanlun had no intention of sparing me." Yin. Yan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Yin, we can't just allow you to scheme against others, but not let others kill you, right? There is no such truth in the world." Lin Bai said.
"In that case, let me try Brother Zhuanlun's sword array again!" Blood flowed from Yin Yan's eyes, and his body sank, as if he was bearing the mountain and river.
He didn't care that Mu Zhen was not far behind him, and he didn't take any precautions. He just stared at Lin Bai in front of him.
Yin Yan's hair became paler, and he leaned forward with his broken arm, "Lin Zhuanlun, just now you said that it would be ten thousand years, and now I will let you know what it is to be blinded by a leaf!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bronze-faced shadow behind Yin Yan, with huge and strange eyes.
The copper-faced eyes erupted with dazzling light, indicating vastness and boundlessness.
"Come out!" Lin Bai tapped the gourd and saw flying knives coming out, a total of eighteen knives.
The phantom on the copper surface moved forward to meet the flying knife, but saw that it was broken upon contact and dispersed without a trace. Hearing a loud explosion, Yin Yan's single eye exploded, leaving only a horrific bloody hole.
He staggered forward and saw the flying knives flying through his body non-stop.
Suddenly, the feeling of being devastated by the knife's intention reappeared, penetrating deep into the flesh and bones, and became more intense, with an endless feeling.
"You... borrowed the power of the powerful sword? Then... let's die together!" Yin Yan's eyes were empty and he couldn't see. His whole body was covered with holes dug by flying knives. But he became more and more ruthless, looking like a madman. Want to trigger the golden elixir to explode.
But after the words fell, Yin Yan suddenly realized that even the fear in his heart had been rubbed away, and he couldn't remember what to do at all. Not only did his body seem to be thrown into a millstone, but his mind and consciousness were also melted into powder.
Mu Zhen watched carefully and saw that Yin Yan was hit by a flying knife, but it seemed that the injury was not serious and he still took two steps forward.
But then, from the clothes to white hair, to the flesh and blood, organs, muscles and bones, slowly and quickly, everything turned into fly ash and scattered around.
Even if the power of the sword intention left by the great power has long since disappeared, it is still not something that a mere golden elixir can compete with.
At this moment, the flying knife slowly returned to the gourd.
"The Wuxiang Dao majors in time and time and space. You are indeed a true disciple. What a Lin Zhuanlun!" Mu Zhen was really impressed when she saw that Lin Bai could use the gourd as a matchmaker to borrow the remaining meaning of the great power.
"Since the Wuxiang Tao majors in the dual avenues, it must have endless wonderful skills, so why are they surrounded and killed?" Lin Bai estimated that even with his current ability, he could easily defeat two or three late-stage golden elixirs. Even five or six people can run away and escape intact.
"She is too young, the latest to advance, and she has been plotted against for a long time. Under siege, she naturally has no chance of winning." Mu Zhen said with a smile.
"Even monks in the late Nascent Soul stage are naturally sensitive. They are closely connected with the great avenue of heaven and earth. If others have evil intentions, they will be able to detect it. How come Master Wuxiang didn't respond?" Lin Bai asked again.
"That's why we have to take action when Master Wuxiang is weak. If Master Wuxiang is allowed to cultivate for several thousand more years, I'm afraid only people who cultivate the same path as her can cut him off," Mu Zhen said.
"Then your ancestor..." Lin Bai was very curious. If the ancestor of sister Ruozhen's family was also a Taoist master, had he ever taken action?
"My ancestors don't care about this. It's just dog bites dog!" Mu Zhen smiled and said gently: "Those powerful people are so powerful. Their lifespan is far longer than that of you and me. In just one nap, you can use the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul." In the life of a monk, I have no time to pay attention to you.”
Lin Bai was relieved.
"But as a Taoist master, there must be a large number of descendants or sects and clans, so it is better for you to keep your tail between your legs." Mu Zhen smiled sweetly.
"..." Lin Bai's face became even more ugly.
Mu Zhen didn't say anything and moved forward with a smile.
The two came to the plum tree. Mu Zhen bowed and saluted the two stone statues, but Lin Bai knelt down and saluted the Wuxiang Taoist Master.
Lin Bai and Taoist Master Wuxiang are not called masters and disciples, but they are actually masters and disciples.
From the wordless secret realm, to the Wuxiang Tomb, and then to the bottom of the endless river. Although he was in danger one after another and narrowly escaped death, he was truly favored by others. The gourd in his hand and the methods he cultivated all came from Taoist Master Wuxiang.
You won't suffer any loss if you kneel down.
After kneeling down and standing up, Lin Bai saluted another stone statue.
After paying homage to the stone statue, Lin Bai and Mu Zhen went to watch their chess game.
The stone table was small, with only a chessboard, but no chess pot to hold the chess pieces, and it was unknown where the chess pieces came from.
Looking at the positions of the two stone statues, it should be that the Taoist Wuxiang Taoist holds the white one and the old man holds the black one.
Bai Zi took a corner and struggled to survive. The sunspots open and close widely, with the potential to be swallowed by whales.
Lin Bai and Jiang Xingchi also played it several times and gained some experience. Just looking at this chess game, the white stone is really inferior. If the black stone does not make a mistake, there is no possibility of a comeback.
There are pieces of plum leaves on the chessboard, and a broken stone in the middle.
Looking up at the plum tree, there are plum fruits on it.
I don’t know how long this plum tree has existed. The fruits are as big as a baby’s fist, all pink and crystal clear.
Just feeling it for a moment, you can tell that this fruit is extremely full of spiritual energy and has a vigorous feeling, but it has been deeply planted with the intention of the knife.
I don’t know what effect this fruit has, but if I take it forcibly, I need to be able to withstand the devastation of the will of destruction.
Lin Bai examined the surroundings carefully and found that the only thing that could be taken away, besides the plum tree fruits, was this chessboard.
However, the auspicious thing in my heart that guides me is not the plum tree fruit, nor the chessboard, but the stones on the chessboard that seem to have been carelessly discarded.
This stone should be the remnant of something broken. There are lines on both sides, but there is nothing mysterious about it. It is an ordinary thing like a stone statue and a stone table.
Lin Bai closed his eyes and thought about it silently, and found that the lines on the broken stone matched a spot on his own stone plate!
"My destiny?" Lin Bai finally understood in his heart why his auspiciousness was so strong.
Lin Bai's destiny is dominated by stone plates and supplemented by mist, but he doesn't know what they are and where they come from.
Seeing this stone at this moment, he felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness, which made Lin Bai certain that this stone was a fragment of the stone plate!
"If you come to hold the title, how should you win?" Mu Zhen asked with a sudden laugh.
Lin Bai was froze by this sentence, opened his eyes, looked at the chessboard carefully, thought for a long time, and then shook his head. "I am a humble person and not good at playing chess."
"Does that mean you're admitting defeat?" Mu Zhen laughed.
"No." Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Drinking tea and playing chess is not my specialty. Picking up the chessboard and playing against it is what I am good at."
"What a Lin Zhuanlun!" Mu Zhen stroked her hands and smiled. There was no blood on her body. She tilted her head slightly at this moment, with bright eyes and bright teeth. Her whole body seemed to be immersed in water and ready to melt away at any moment.
Ever since Lin Bai met Sister Zhen in Daoyin Sect, she had been asking for her money repeatedly. He didn't stop the night before coming here, but he didn't expect that he would be excited again at this moment.
I don't know whether it was because he was very hungry or for some other reason, but Lin Bai actually felt afraid. It's not that the Hunyuan body is incompetent, it's just that I can't figure out why she's so angry and how she wants to get it.
"Sister Zhen!" Lin Bai put away his evil thoughts and said seriously: "Now the opportunity is in front of me, plum fruit, chessboard, broken stones. Three things, what do you want?"
"I want you." Mu Zhen's voice was extremely low, with soft eyes.
After hearing this, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Sister Huanhuan in a daze!
Lin Bai had always kept a clean mind, and among the women he met, Sister Huanhuan was the most infatuated with him.
"Be more serious in front of these two masters!" Lin Bai scolded.
Mu Zhen chuckled and then said: "I want the chessboard and a fruit!"
There are nine plum fruits in total.
"What's the magic use of this fruit?" Lin Bai asked.
"It seems that it is being washed by the sword's intention every day. As for its use, I have to think about it carefully and taste it." Mu Zhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai guessed that she didn't know, but it must be good stuff, so he would give it to Sister Pei to try later!
The two of them saluted the stone statue again. Lin Bai collected the broken stone plate, took nine more fruits, and handed one to Mu Zhen.
Mu Zhen respectfully put away the chessboard and saw that the chess pieces turned into nothingness.
"Playing chess with the intention of the great road is really a generous move." Mu Zhen sighed.
"This is the Wuxiang Taoist Master." Lin Bai looked at Master Xiang, then looked at another stone statue, and asked, "Sister Zhen, do you know who this senior is?"
This stone statue is of an old man with vicissitudes of life. His beard reaches to his chest, his eyebrows are drooping, and his face is very blurry. Even if it is right in front of you, you still feel like you are watching flowers from the other side, and you can't see them clearly.
"Don't say it." Mu Zhen whispered.
"..." Lin Bai was stunned. Previously, he asked Sister Zhen who was the mastermind behind the attack on Wuxiang Taoist Master. Sister Zhen said that if he had something to say, it would be known, and he was an unspeakable person.
Lin Bai looked at Mu Zhen.
Mu Zhen nodded and admitted.
