Chapter 119 Past events (3)
"There are four students Lu, Du, Tao and Gao, four generals Chu, Bai, Huai and Yang, as well as ten scattered spirits escorting Hua Ling." He turned to Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou and said, "Among these four generals, General Bai, Huai and General Yang are people close to Cangmu. Chu and Yang are brothers in my army. I think Cangmu wanted to weaken my strength, and secondly, he knew that the two of them would do their best to protect Hua Ling, so he also arranged them to the West Sea. The four students are skilled craftsmen in Cangmu Kingdom, making pottery, brewing wine, and weaving, each with their own strengths. After I knew all this, I realized that Cangmu's painstaking efforts were not to let Hua Ling come back. At the same time, I also understood that she and I could not be together after all. I think she should have understood it a long time ago..." His tone was quite sad.
"The four students and four generals knew that it would be difficult to return to Cangmu Country, so they took their parents, wives, children, servants, and the parents, wives, and children of the servants with them. I heard that there were one or two hundred people in total. The West Sea is so vast and deep, and it is difficult to tell the direction in the sea. It is hard to predict their life and death, and it is actually a huge risk. I originally planned to stop them that day, but I was held back by the King of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Beast Mountain and couldn't get away. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was Cangmu's idea to find the King of Ten Thousand Beasts to deliberately make things difficult for me."
Bi Ye turned around and said to Yang Luo, "Your ancestor Yang Shihao had a son who was serving in my army. He didn't want his son to go and take risks, so he asked me to take care of him. That's why you were left in Bicheng. Fortunately, with the blessing of the gods, they also found a place to settle down in the West Sea. They didn't die in the sea, and their bloodline still exists."
Yang Luo said, "General, you said this matter is related to the abnormality you found during your border patrol. What is it?"
Bi Ye laughed and said, "It's my fault that I'm too old. I really went a little far." Everyone laughed too.
He went on to say, "The last time the spiritual energy was disturbed, leading to the catastrophe of the four countries, it was actually caused by the Red Refining Sword leaving its Yang phase. And this time when I patrolled the border, I also found that the spiritual energy was moving differently. I just heard from Li Qi that not long ago, an evil spirit from a few hundred miles away entered the city to cause chaos. As the ancient saying goes, 'When the spiritual energy moves, evil spirits appear.' There must be a connection between the two."
"After Huang Tianxiang observed the three phases of the sun, moon and stars, as well as the changes in the mountains, rocks and rivers, he calculated that this time the Death Point seems to have undergone a major change. Fortunately, the change is still short-lived, and if it can be remedied, it can still be saved from another disaster in the human and spirit world." After a pause, he continued, "And that Death Point seems to be near the Baihua Island where the two brothers Chu and Yang are."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but become nervous.
Bi Ye turned around and looked at Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou, and said, "This matter concerns the lives of all people in the world. Do you two have anything to tell us?"
Yang Dou shook his head woodenly and said no.
Chu Xiaomu remembered what Qin Gang had said, telling him not to mention the ancient tripod, otherwise his life would be in danger. He had not told anyone before because he was afraid of accidents. Now he guessed that the ancient tripod was the Mingyuan Tripod, one of the four divine instruments for attracting spiritual energy, and it was related to the life and death of tens of millions of people, so he could no longer hide it. He told everyone everything about the Mingyuan Tripod, from the beginning to the end, including Bai Yixing's mistaken entry into Baihua Island to the theft of the tripod and escape. As for what kind of disaster would be caused by telling it, he didn't care.
Everyone was horrified and kept silent, thinking that this world-shaking event was actually related to the two young boys in front of them.
Bi Ye looked solemn, and after a long breath, he asked Chu Xiaomu, "What does the Snow Countryman Qin Gang you mentioned look like?"
Chu Xiaomu thought about Qin Gang's appearance and said, "This man looks very ordinary, nothing special." Suddenly remembering something, he said, "That day, the three of us were captured by the Snow Country people on their merchant ship. Bai Yixing and Qin Gang had an argument, and Qin Gang's appearance changed drastically in anger." He described the situation in detail, but his words were a little clumsy and he still didn't quite understand.
After further questioning and careful guidance, Bi Ye finally guessed who the man was and said, "I was wondering who he was. It turns out he is Storm from the White Snow Country, who calls himself the 'Stormbringer'. He is also a spirit, not a human. This guy considers himself to be righteous, but he is also quite cunning. I had a fight with him once in the past, and he was indeed very difficult to deal with. However, he did not kill you. What is the reason..." Bi Ye frowned and thought intently.
Suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I guess he wants to use you two to cause chaos in my Cangmu Country!"
Ding Qi asked: "General, how could brothers Chu and Yang alone cause chaos in the Cangmu Kingdom?"
Bi Ye said: "The two of them have been in contact with the Nether Abyss Cauldron for a long time. Their spirits and qualities are different from those of ordinary people. The more powerful ones can find it. This is bound to attract the attention of ancient spirits or evil spirits, and they will track down the Nether Abyss Cauldron based on this. So it can be said that it is borrowing their bodies. Of course, it is not just the two of them. I guess Feng Bao is still hiding in Cangmu Country with the Nether Abyss Cauldron, otherwise he would not have landed in Xihai City. Therefore, these things will sooner or later be heard by the people of Chisha Country and Lanming Country."
Huan Zhizheng couldn't help but shout, "This storm is so cunning and vicious. If I were to encounter it, I would definitely kill him and shatter his seven-orifice spiritual body!"
Bi Ye smiled and said, "Storm is one of the four great spirit kings of the Snow Country. You can't beat him. Although the spirits of the Snow Country are treacherous, they often love each other on the surface and generally don't kill people indiscriminately."
Li Qi suddenly remembered something and said, "That day, the one-legged demon was causing chaos in the military camp and injured Brother Xiaomu. He actually said something like, 'This person's blood smells good, I want to suck his blood.' Could it be that the evil spirit has discovered something?"
Bi Ye said, "You are right. One-legged Xiao likes to suck human blood. The stronger the spiritual power, the more it likes the blood." He turned to Chu Xiaomu and said, "Have you cultivated spiritual power?"
Chu Xiaomu answered honestly: "I learned the art of asking spirits from the old uncle Huai in the village. I have opened my mind, but I haven't cultivated any spiritual power. Can spiritual power be cultivated?"
Bi Ye did not answer him, and said: "That's it. After you opened your mind, you have cultivated an ordinary spiritual body, and you can travel through the spiritual realm. Although your spiritual power is weak, it is stronger than that of ordinary mortals. In addition, you grew up near the Death Point, so your spiritual quality is abnormal, so evil spirits naturally like you."
Li Qi and the other five people were very surprised. They didn't expect that the young man from outside the domain in front of them could actually cultivate a spiritual body. It's true that appearance is not the best way to judge a person. The cultivation of spiritual power and spiritual body is collectively called refining the spirit, which is ten times or even a hundred times more difficult than cultivating the original force. Although there are still many people in Cangmu Country who are obsessed with refining the spirit, there are very few who succeed. Refining the spirit is divided into two types, one is to cultivate spiritual power, and the other is to cultivate the spiritual body. Comparing the two, cultivating spiritual power has unexpected benefits for martial arts cultivation, which is generally to break the moves and attack the enemy, or to comprehend magical techniques; after successfully refining the spiritual body, one can enter the virtual spiritual realm that is opposite to the real world, and inquire about the anomalies in the world. It is indeed magical, but it is more difficult than cultivating spiritual power.
