The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 72 Five Elements Soul Locking (I)

This is a vast lake with an island in the middle of it... no, it should be a mountain in the middle of the lake. It seems to rise up from the lake. On the top of the mountain stands a palace that reflects a green metallic luster.

The mountain in the center of the lake is about a hundred miles away from the lakeshore. There are no fishing boats in the way... Oh, there are no humans at all, only some water birds such as swans, cranes, and wild ducks. There are also flocks of wild sheep, deer, bison... and even wild horses on the shore.

A very harmonious picture was destroyed by someone's sprint... Ye Muxue rushed out of the forest with four saber-toothed tigers, and suddenly there was a storm on the shore, and it was really a scattered bird and beast.

There are fishes when there are lakes, or big fish in the original ecological environment. She has become hot for eating meat during this period, and she can't take out the vegetables in the space... The fish should be better, right?

Four saber-toothed tigers... were the four 'fakes' she met at the waterfall. They might have suffered from 'Stockholm syndrome' and were so stubborn that they insisted on following her. Even if she left them far behind, they could still find her.

Ye Muxue was still afraid that they would plot against her, so she deliberately tried to test them several times at night. They were always diligent in keeping watch for her. What made her most relieved was that they provided her with plenty of meat every day, so she didn't have to use up her own savings.

The four-headed saber-toothed tiger may have come here for the first time. After seeing the lake, it was also very excited and ran to the lake... I chased those animals. What power can stop the tigers from hunting?

Ye Muxue's first focus was on the Huxin Mountain, especially the metal hall that shone with green light... It was probably made of bronze, but some Xia people, Ye Muxue was a history nerd. She remembered that the largest and heaviest thing in ancient China was a bronze tripod, which was child's play in front of this big tripod. Of course, she was not thinking about the metal craftsmanship, but its builders and what was inside... and whether she could get through? How to get through?

According to her personality in her previous life, she could basically be as slack as she was uncertain about the benefits; but after she was reborn, her personality was a bit ostentatious and had a tendency to be dying.

I can't fly, nor do I want to swim, maybe... can I set up a raft?
Ye Muxue retracted her gaze and looked around... Well, the trees here are quite thick. Four or five of them can be cut down to make a felling stick. As for the rope... the ancient vine in the mountains is as hard as iron and as soft as cotton. It is no problem to use it to tie a raft... Tsk, it would be great if I could release the puppet. Remember to enrich my storage bag next time I enter such a haunted place.

Huh? This stone is really rare!
Ye Muxue suddenly found a stone by the lake, which looked like an old monk meditating, but the stone was not ordinary, and it was covered with dust and moss was growing in some places.

"Tsk tsk! If it weren't for the wrong time, this stone could be sold at a big price."

Ye Muxue talked to herself, and performed a 'cleaning technique' at the stone, and then pretended to be like: "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror; wipe it frequently and do not cause dust."

"Good! Good! Bodhi is not a tree, nor a mirror is not a platform; there is nothing in it, so where can dust be caused!"

A voice suddenly came.

"What the hell?! The stone has become a spirit?!"

Ye Muxue jumped out several meters tall, first slapped himself with a Vajra Talisman, holding a stack of attack talismans in his hand, and the Fire Spirit Needle and the Green Scale Sword are ready to be fired at any time.

"Amitabha!"

Another Buddhist chant was heard, and then the stone monk's face began to fall into stone powder. He opened his two dark eyes... well, they had whites, just like a human's. "Don't be afraid, female donor! I am also a human... or I used to be a human."

"It's just that talent is terrible... Your body is petrified, right? Can you still move?" Ye Muxue carefully maintained a safe distance.

"I have been punished by heaven, my whole body has turned into stone, and I am barely alive here. I can barely open my eyes and use ventriloquism, and I can't do anything else." The eyes of 'Stone Monk' were indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

Although he could not believe it all, Ye Muxue used his spiritual sense to observe and confirmed that this person had been petrified long ago, even if he did it... at least Ye Muxue could escape.

"Junior Ye Muxue, may I know your Dharma name, Master?" Ye Muxue asked respectfully... Even though he is petrified now, maybe he was a great man in the past. Besides, he has lived for many years in this ancient secret realm, so there is nothing wrong with being polite and considerate.

"My Buddhist name is Phagpa."

As if he could see the confusion in Ye Muxue's eyes, he added: "I was ordained when I was ten years old... According to you Han people, I was ordained when I was the fifth year of Huizong Zhao Ji."

"Master Gaoshou... Are you not a monk from the Song Dynasty?" Ye Muxue asked tentatively.

Basiba saw Ye Muxue's temptation: "I am a Mongolian national teacher and was trapped here during the Guangzong period. What are the consequences of Mongolia and the Song Dynasty? How are the people's livelihood?"

very strange?

Ye Muxue looked at the "Monkey Shi" a few times...I haven't seen anything yet, but it's so strange to hear the monk talking about people's livelihood!

She pondered: "The Song Dynasty was weak and was eventually destroyed by the Mongolian. When the Yuan Dynasty was at its most powerful, it went north to the Arctic Ocean, and even Europe was trembling under their iron hooves..."

Ye Muxue's historical knowledge was taught by a Chinese teacher, and it was not too bad. At least she knew that Prime Minister Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the little emperor on his back, and that he also knew that the oppression and abuse of the Han people during the Yuan Dynasty's reign was now.

The people rose up, the Ming Dynasty was established, and the people in the Little Ice Age had many disasters... Qing soldiers entered the pass, slave education, closed their doors for three hundred years, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, etc.

Ye Muxue didn't expect that she would have a day to teach a history subject to an ancient person... At this moment, there was a pot of tea, a desk, and a wake-up wood.

Just when the disaster was in the three years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ye Muxue smelled a trace of blood at her nose. When she looked at it, she saw two lines of blood and tears flowing down Basiba's eyes.

Is this empathy?
Ye Muxue was very surprised and couldn't help it: "Master, why... is so sad?"

"Amitabha Buddha, the cause and effect are really unhappy!" Basiba started chanting Buddha's name again.

"Master, what do you mean?" Ye Muxue was a little unhappy. Even the seniors couldn't talk nonsense. It really was not my race...that's the case.

"Donald Ye, are you interested in listening to me telling a story?" Basiba answered the question that was not right.

"The great monk,"

Ye Muxue’s name is becoming more and more rude: “I’m afraid I don’t have that leisure and leisure. I have been in this secret realm for a long time and I must go out as soon as possible.”

"A coincidence! This story is related to leaving this secret realm? Donor Ye is indeed destined to me." Basiba said.

"I was bleeding and tears just now, and I still have the mood to tell a story now." Ye Muxue was so angry that she was "destined" that he had to listen, so she had to ridicule him in words.

Basiba was very kind and did not disobey him, so he began to tell his story.

Mongolia has always been a synonym for a bitter and cold land. They roam on the grassland all year round, following the water and grass to survive. It is even more difficult when they encounter natural disasters and wars and their herds are reduced. The Central Plains, where the Song, Jin and Liao dynasties are located, has always been a fertile land they yearn for. In the words of their children, there is rich grass all year round and endless sweet water... This is what the elders of the tribe taught them. "Bandit logic!" Ye Muxue scolded.

"It's the logic of the robber. But compared to survival, what is morality?" Basiba disagreed.

"You are a monk and a Buddhist. Do you have no guilt?" Ye Muxue said righteously.

"The monk is alive, and the dead are called dead. Donor Ye is a little restless, listen to me. Amitabha!"

Makes sense!
Ye Muxue made him so angry that he had nothing to say. He was thinking about the way to leave, so he had to listen patiently.

Later, a shepherd boy who was born in poverty vowed to no longer trap the Mongols in that cold and bitter land. He devoted himself to Buddhism, practiced diligently, and at the age of 30 he was the best among his fellow disciples. At the age of 35, the Mongol Khan appointed him as the national teacher.

"I was very satisfied with my progress. I was invincible in attacking the Western countries... However, when I went south to attack the Song Dynasty, although I won many battles, my army was always blocked at the gates of Xiangyang. The Great Khan Mongke also died at the gates of the city.

Later, I heard the story of Dayu... Forged Nine Cauldrons to determine the world!

Since then, I have been working hard to find out the whereabouts of the Nine Cauldrons... In my plan, seizing the Nine Cauldrons... is to seize the destiny of the Southern Dynasty. I really didn't think too much about it. Herding horses southward is the dream of generations of grassland people. "

"But this dream is based on the pain of the Han people!" Ye Muxue said incisively.

"Amitabha!" Basiba kept reciting the Buddha's name, and his eyes showed a look of pain.

"Hard work pays off. I finally found out the whereabouts of the Nine Cauldrons. I gathered all the strong men from Mongolia and the Western Regions to sneak into the important town of Central Plains. Although I have tried to keep a low profile, the monks in Central Plains still discovered our actions. The monks in Central Plains transported the four precious tripods to their so-called cultivation world... Hehe, what they did was not much better than what I did. From that time on, the spiritual energy of the Han land outside the cultivation world gradually disappeared, and they also contributed to the natural disasters in the future."

"You are the initiators! Don't they move away and let the robbers always think about them and take them away?" Ye Muxue scolded him mercilessly.

"Donor Ye, you are right."

After a while, Ba Siba sighed, "After a struggle, I led the remaining masters to escort the five tripods to the northeast... Here, I designed a great formation to seize fortune. But I didn't expect that a group of Central Plains monks were always following behind... Don't look at me with that look, yes, I know someone is following behind, and they are also part of the calculation. But I didn't expect these people to be so determined! They took advantage of my negligence and took away another tripod.

One of the Five Cauldrons is missing, and the Five Elements are missing the central soil, so I had to find an ordinary cauldron to replace it...Because in addition to the Five Cauldrons, I also laid eight spiritual veins to trap the Five Cauldrons, but these eight spiritual veins need eight strong men to suppress them, otherwise they will be bound by the formation and will explode without something to suppress them. Even if the Five Cauldrons will not explode, they will be damaged, which is even more dangerous for the world. The eight strong men who chased after them all have compassion for the world, and in order to protect the Five Cauldrons, they must suppress these eight spiritual veins. "

"You are so cruel! You are so vicious!"

Ye Muxue was so angry that her hands trembled, wishing she could slash him with one sword.

"Amitabha!"

A look of pain appeared in Bashiba's eyes. "What was stolen is stolen after all. The Five Cauldrons lacked the Earth Cauldron, and the substitute was not the real thing after all. In the end... it still exploded. The Yuan Dynasty that I had been looking forward to was also short-lived... Due to retribution for my accumulated experience, I have been turned into a fossil sculpture!"

"Master, are those eight seniors still alive?"

The reason why Ye Muxue asked this question was because Basiba said that the eight spiritual veins needed to be suppressed. Since there has not been an explosion so far... Obviously, Basiba cannot find anyone else.

"Amitabha!"

Basiba's eyes drooped slightly: "If I guess correctly, the eight donors have also abandoned this broken skin."

"Then how to save those eight seniors?" Ye Muxue asked impatiently.

"It's easy to rescue them...it's how you come in."

"How do I get in?" Ye Muxue was at a loss.

"Five Elements Spirit Locking Array! Only those who have the Five Elements Spirit Roots can practice the Five Elements Practice to open the Five Elements Spirit Locking Array."

Basiba sighed: "This is also the reason why the eight fellow Taoists saw this Five Elements Lock but did not open it."

"How was this Five Elements Spirit Locking Array made? There should be a cultivator with five spirit roots?" Ye Muxue actually guessed the fate of the unlucky guy in her heart.

"Of course... I'm not that crazy yet!"

Basiba was stimulated by Ye Muxue's eyes, "He died of exhaustion when he was setting up the formation."

"Anyway, I'm dead. Isn't this a karma?" Ye Muxue was angry, but she had a little chance to confront Basiba and forgot that this person was also a powerful person.

"Amitabha! All fellow Taoists were entrusted by me, and were retaliated against the will of heaven, and their bodies died and their bodies disappeared!" Basiba's voice was so painful that Ye Muxue couldn't bear to argue again.

It's really ironic to think about it. So many people put life and death aside, thinking it was a great and glorious career, but they found that it was a clown, which really made people... feel...
"Master, how to unlock the Five Elements Spirit Locking Array?" Ye Muxue asked for advice again.

"Just put your hand on it to climb that mountain and just use the skills you practice. However, it is difficult to get through the first two levels."

Basiba's eyes surfed Ye Muxue's face... as if she could see her inner thoughts clearly, "Do you want to cut wood into a raft?"

"Yes." Ye Muxue nodded... She can't swim over, right?
"There is a dragon in the sea. If you happen to encounter it, there will be no boat or raft... Do you know how to water? It's probably not?"

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm swimming pretty well..."

Ye Muxue suddenly got stuck... How was she swimming well? Is it better than a dragon swimming?

"What is the second level?" Ye Muxue decided to skip this question.

Thank you Nini for starting her home again and the two book friends, Totoro.
