Chapter 21 Treasures in the Void

In the eyes of many people, Mei Chuanan's obsession with demons is traceable. He ignored his mother's pleas and the advice of his fellow apprentices, and resolutely accepted Zuo Liuying's invitation to become a disciple of the Forbidden Secret Department. Said: "The strongest are destined to stand at the top, and they just want to take one step higher. Even if I become a demon and perish because of it, I will never regret it."

A few years later, people who knew Mei Chuanan said that his arrogant declaration already had a demonic meaning.

The Forbidden Secrets department is the easiest to be possessed by demons. The reason why it can still attract outstanding disciples to join is because the Forbidden Secrets department is indeed at the forefront of the Nine Paths. Only they are allowed to come into contact with those ambiguous spells with demonic characteristics. You can read The oldest, most profound, and most mysterious book.

As a disciple of the Forbidden Secrets, the greatest honor is to be able to create a very powerful new spell. Many people have learned nothing but learned nothing, while others have lost their way and fallen into the devil's path. Only a few people can make achievements. , and has been famous throughout the ages since then.

Ten years ago, Mei Chuanan claimed that he had discovered a brand new magic, and arrogantly asked the masters of the nine great traditions to gather together. He wanted to demonstrate it in public. Zuo Liuying, the head of the Forbidden Secret Department, had been observing this proud disciple for a long time and had no idea. Do not hesitate to use magic weapons to examine him carefully - for those with high magic power, the evil thoughts may be hidden very deeply.

The examination results confirmed that Mei Chuanan was possessed.

Grandmaster Ning Qiwei and other leaders conducted another inspection, and the conclusion was the same as Zuo Liuying's. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Mei Chuanan's demonic thoughts had just arisen and had not yet attracted the demonic species. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable: a great scholar Even if a capable Pangshan disciple is attacked by the weakest demon species, it will cause immeasurable damage.

The demonic thoughts of the monks are like fish that attracts cats. Even if there is only a little smell, they cannot escape the invasion of demon species. This kind of invasion can even transcend the isolation of time and space, and the most powerful spell cannot completely prohibit it.

Mei Chuanan lost everything in an instant.

Mei Chuanan, who had completely lost his mind, was still very crazy. Whenever he regained consciousness, he would chatter endlessly claiming to have learned new spells. If there was an audience, he would be even more excited. Of course, most of the time, his audience was only his mother. After the villagers experienced the destructive power of the crazy disciple, they quickly shunned him.

Grandma Mei felt very sorry for this, and whispered to Xiaoqiu and Fangfang: "He is always like this, so you don't need to take it to heart. No one has seen the 'treasures he picked from the void', he is just talking about it.

"But he said that tonight... he would be 'free'." Xiao Qiu felt ominous.

"It's almost time." Granny Mei wiped away her tears, "He has been saying similar things these days. Alas, ten years, it's time. Thank you, you can go, let me listen to his nonsense alone. "

"I'm not in a hurry, and we have nothing else to do." Xiao Qiu said that he was observing carefully, trying to find evidence that Zuo Liuying controlled Mei Chuanan, but so far he had found nothing.

Grandma Mei nodded gratefully, "I'll get some fruit."

Mei Chuan'an has long been separated from the real world. He can't even feel the thick straw rope tied around his waist. His body is straight. When his mother is talking to the guests, he keeps looking up at the night sky, as if waiting for God's instructions or instructions. Listen to the command from the void.

After a while, he spoke again, speaking slowly at first, carefully choosing each word, and then gradually speeding up, faster and faster, as if there was not enough time.

"At the beginning of the Great Dao, the three ancestors were born. The three ancestors passed down the fire and were divided into nine ancestors. This was the establishment of the Nine Great Dao. At that time, the Dao Fire was first ignited.

The spells were only three hundred, but the founder swore that he would not move for less than one hundred thousand. As a result, the Taoist sect prospered, with many disciples, who could fight against the demons. The demons are tyrannical, killing living beings, devouring human bones alive, drinking human blood alive, taking away human products, and destroying human clans. My ancestor personally led three thousand disciples down the mountain. After five battles, he finally destroyed the demons, destroyed their bodies, cut off their retreat, drove them into the void, and sealed their doors. After these five battles, the fire of Tao has greatly declined, the founder has passed away, and one hundred thousand spells have not been forgotten..."

Grandma Mei brought a small stool and table and several plates of apricots and pears, and said in a very low voice: "If you can ask some questions, he will be happier."

"The question..." Xiaoqiu scratched her head, "Taoist Mei, Dao Huo... why is it called Dao Huo?"

Mei Chuan'an pointed at Xiaoqiu and nodded repeatedly, "The fire of Tao is indescribable in its wonderfulness, and its use is unknowable. It will not be passed on to those who do not have Tao roots, and it will not burn unless it is met by chance. This fire is not a natural fire in the world, nor is it a Taoist sect. The fire of the five elements, this is the fire of profound truth and the fire of wisdom. When it is reduced, it is not too small. When it is increased, it is not too much. The reason for the heaven and earth is small, and the reason for the bigness of dust and dirt..."

Xiaoqiu looked at Fangfang, hoping she could think of other questions.

"Is the Forbidden Secret Department specifically looking for those lost spells?" Fangfang asked.

"Rebuilding ancient spells is only one aspect." Mei Chuan'an changed his tone, not so fast, and his words were not so profound. "The most important thing is to create new more powerful spells. As early as when the eleventh generation ancestor was still alive, The Nine Dao Tradition already has 200,000 spells, and since then, it has accumulated more and more, and now it has reached one million. "

"Millions of spells." Xiaoqiu exclaimed, "How long will it take to learn them all?"

"Although there are many magic spells, there are not many that can be used. There are only a few thousand commonly used spells, and only a few hundred are used at the extreme level. The rest are not enough to be regarded as Tao."

"Then the spell you have learned must be the strongest?" Xiaoqiu regretted it as soon as she asked. This was touching someone's sore spot. Granny Mei had said before that the "treasures picked by Mei Chuanan from the void" were just Just talking.

Mei Chuanan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not the strongest, it's different, it..."

Mei Chuan'an's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he covered his heart with his right hand, with a look of pain on his face. Grandma Mei rushed to help him, but he waved his hand to indicate that his mother did not need to come over.

"Is Zuo Liuying helping you?" Xiaoqiu decided to ask directly. He didn't come here to hear any new spells.

Mei Chuanan didn't seem to hear the question, and had no reaction to the words Zuo Liuying. He took a deep breath of night air, walked to the stone pier, sat in lotus position on the ground, quietly arranged his clothes, and used the hem of his clothes to Covering his legs, he then raised his head, "Listen to me - don't be wrong or weak."

"What?" Xiaoqiu didn't hear clearly. This series of similar pronunciations sounded really unpleasant. Mei Chuan'an read the words very quickly, and it was over in an instant, as if there was only one word.

Grandma Mei was extremely shocked, "He, he never said these words. He always told people that he had discovered new spells, but..." The old man became excited, "He didn't lie to people, right? My son didn't lie. Man, Grandmaster Pang Shan is wrong, the head of the Forbidden Secret Department is wrong, and everyone in the village is wrong!”

"Uh..." Xiaoqiu didn't know what to say.

Mei Chuanan held his knees with his left hand, held the sword formula with his right hand and pointed to the sky, and said calmly: "The Tao fire will never be extinguished."

"The Taoist fire will never be extinguished." Xiaoqiu and Fangfang replied at the same time, feeling a sense of solemnity in their hearts.

Mei Chuanan showed an expression of relief on his face and remained motionless after that.

Grandma Mei's excitement slowly dissipated. She walked to her son, gently took off the long hairpin on his head, held it in both hands and presented it to Xiaoqiu and Fangfang, "Please accept this gift."

"How is this possible? We didn't do anything." Xiaoqiu declined.

"You can make my son happy. This is the greatest kindness. I, a lonely old woman, can't repay you. This hairpin is Chuan'an's Taoist token. Ten years ago, when he was twenty-eight years old, he had already reached Xingluo In terms of realm, he is the fastest among the Nine Great Paths in the past three hundred years."

At the end, there was a sense of arrogance in Granny Mei's voice, and then she sighed, "There's no use keeping it now, so I'll give it to you as a plaything. I wish you both smooth sailing on your path to spiritual cultivation, and you will be able to attain enlightenment soon." The fruit of Tao will extend your life for thousands of years.”

Xiaoqiu and Fangfang looked at each other, and finally Xiaoqiu took the hairpin.

"I'll take you two back to the library."

"No, we know the way." Xiaoqiu said, but Granny Mei sent the two of them out of the house for more than ten steps before turning around and going home.

It was dark at night, and the villagers in Jinghu Village had already rested. There were no lights or fires around, only the stars and moon shining above their heads. Fangfang walked three steps closely, and they were side by side.

"He's dead, isn't he?"

"Well, I guess so."

The two were silent for a while. Xiaoqiu didn't want to be immersed in sadness and asked again: "Is what Mei Chuanan said really a spell?"

"I don't know either. Grandma Mei seems to believe it." Fangfang paused and read out the words in a low voice, "It's not wrong or weak."

"You can actually remember it? It's wrong...it's wrong or weak. It seems to be of no use. I'm afraid Grandma Mei's happiness will be in vain."

"Generally, spells are based on mana. We haven't started practicing yet, so of course it's useless to recite them."

Recalling Granny Mei's proud look when she talked about her son's cultivation, Xiao Qiu asked: "Fangfang, Tiantian, what is the 'Starfall Realm'? It seems very powerful."

"It is introduced in the "Nine Chapters of Inheritance Sutra" that to practice Taoism, you must first open the seven orifices, and then clear the three levels. After laying the foundation, you can inhale to condense the inner elixir. The method of inhaling progresses slowly, and higher-level Taoist priests can eat rosy clouds. , then swallowing smoke, and then up to the realm of starfall. Taoist priests who reach this realm can absorb the essence of stars, and the inner elixir is already very powerful. Further up, they can focus on the mind, take the moon light, and take the sun light. There are nine levels in total, and each realm is also called a Tao Fruit. This is what the book says. "

"It's only ninth level, it doesn't sound too difficult."

"It's difficult. The book says that the state of inhalation alone can block almost half of the monks. Although many people have Taoist roots, they are unable to condense the inner elixir throughout their lives. And the higher you go, the harder it becomes. There is often no one in a million. ”

"I think Taoist Zhang has definitely not reached the state of inhalation." Xiaoqiu took out the hairpin.

The hairpin is six or seven inches long and is made of hard material, neither wood nor iron. There is something vaguely engraved on it. When it is raised in the air, a light flashes past, revealing the three star pattern on the hairpin. "This thing is a bit special, Fangfang, you Keep it."

"No, Grandma Mei gave this to you."

Xiaoqiu stuffed the hairpin into Fangfang's hand.

The two of them chatted all the way, and both felt that Mei Chuanan was not completely crazy, so they walked back to the library unknowingly.

"Don't make mistakes or be weak." Fangfang said to the air in the front yard, fearing that she would forget these words.

"Don't make mistakes or be weak." Xiaoqiu repeated it, taking this as a farewell message.

"You two went to Mei's house?" a voice behind asked, and Zhang Lingsheng walked out of the room with an angry look on his face.

Xiaoqiu and Fangfang turned around hurriedly. At this moment, they were facing the direction where they had recited the spell. A small piece of air four or five feet above the ground trembled slightly, as if it was just a star blinking, and like It's a breeze stirring out of thin air.

Neither the person who uttered the spell nor the person who vaguely heard it noticed that it actually had an effect.
