Volume 10 Interlude 5: Ups and Downs Chapter 13 Great Wisdom
Yang Xiao froze in place.
The sound of those jumping footsteps was like a heavy hammer, which knocked the two forces in his mind to the ground and also pushed him to the brink of life and death.
With fear, Yang Xiao instinctively started to practice the Yellow Springs Dead Soil Sutra that he had just learned.
The original internal force became magical and then merged into the ground.
In an instant, the bricks, stones and soil on the ground all softened like water, and he could blend into the land just like Kang Qianhu before.
The zombie's steps were getting closer and closer. Even though Yang Xiao had merged into the land, he still felt unprecedented panic.
He felt his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, so he had to use the techniques from the Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar technique to control his blood and energy and slow down his heart.
At the same time, hold your breath as hard as you can.
In the dim underground, the footsteps became clearer and clearer.
The beating sound fell on his head, and Yang Xiao's whole body suddenly tensed up. A contradictory breath of heat yet cold spread from the ground and fell on him.
As those auras eroded him, Yang Xiao instinctively understood a fragment of the "Dead and Heartless Sutra".
This scripture requires people to reach a certain dead and indifferent state of mind. Once one reaches this level, the physical body will naturally achieve a Vajra body and gain great eternity.
Yang Xiao didn't care about those things and could only hide underground, waiting for the "zombie" to go away.
But then the sound of chewing was heard, and some wet liquid poured onto the ground and slowly soaked it down.
The strong smell of blood almost made Yang Xiao unable to control his body.
I don’t know how long it took, but the footsteps had faded away, and Yang Xiao, unable to stay any longer, crawled out of the soil.
Then he found that there was nothing left on the ground except a pool of blood.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao understood why the entire city became deserted.
"The Sutra of Death and No Heart, this seems to be a martial art derived from the secret records of the Zen Buddhism." A bit of wisdom appeared deep in his mind, which was exactly the ability of "knowing" before.
Now Yang Xiao knew that this was probably the ability that the dragon soul brought to him.
He Qingsong, the "master" of the Dragon Soul, is a high-ranking member of the Tiger Roar and Dragon Song Sect. He has read the secret records of the Dragon Elephant Sect included in the sect, and also snatched the secret records of the Heart Zen Sect some time ago.
He had a certain understanding of the two supreme "martial arts", and now he naturally knew the foundation of the Withered and Heartless Sutra.
"How could this kind of martial arts appear?!" Yang Xiao only felt that the world had become stranger than ever before.
At the same time, I also understood what my teacher lamented back then: the martial arts in this world should not be like this.
It is said that decades ago, most martial arts were similar to the Black Wind Fist, and among the people in the martial arts world, the innate realm was already an unattainable realm.
Every innate has once affected the changes in the world of martial arts and wielded magical skills and weapons.
However, all this changed with the publication of three secret records.
Among the three secret records, even if you only get one page, integrating the content into your own martial arts can elevate your martial arts into a more advanced mythical martial arts.
In mythological martial arts, breaking through the innate is the basic function. Being able to become a monster above the innate depends on the individual's compatibility.
All in all, martial arts became strange after that.
The dynasty changed because of half of the Immortal Sect's Secret Records. Everyone in the world was chasing after the Dragon Elephant Sect's Secret Records. Now that a copy of the Heart Zen Sect's Secret Records had been published, it had caused even more ups and downs.
Yang Xiao, who had three different secret records in his mind, at this moment deeply realized the danger of these secret records.
If a martial art that only contains part of the secret record has become so evil, then once the complete secret record is released, will even greater terror befall us?
"No, we must stop this!" When he thought of that scene, great fear arose in his heart. For some reason, Yang Xiao felt a sense of mission in his heart.
Since childhood, his father Yang Tianzheng taught him to serve the country, the people and all the people in the world.
Now, he was absolutely certain that the three volumes of secret records were the evil books that were poisoning the world, and he had to destroy these things!
Once this belief is established, great wisdom will rise deep within your heart.
He combined three martial arts books, namely Yellow Springs Dead Soil Sutra, Tiger Roaring Dragon Roaring Art and Dead Heart Sutra, and created a new martial arts book.
The immortal power of Huangquan Minglong!
This magical skill requires great wisdom to make the immortal tree seeds planted from the Yellow Spring sprout and turn into trees, and then let the water of the Yellow Spring flow out. The water of the Yellow Spring is then used to replace one's own blood, forming Yellow Spring blood to condense the Nether Dragon.
And to control all these inhuman forces, one needs a state of mind in which one can watch one's own body gradually wither and become inhuman, but one's soul remains eternal.
After the three-in-one, Yang Xiao's martial arts improved rapidly.
In his mind, he already possessed the highest level of martial arts of both. Combined with his own wisdom, the Withered Heart Sutra was successful in an instant.
Then Yang Xiao felt that his martial arts had reached perfection.
At this moment, he felt that picking stars and taking the moon might not be possible, but moving mountains and filling the sea should not be a big problem.
After all the blood in the body is replaced with Yellow Spring Water, one can become immortal.
The broken parts of the body can be repaired by the Yellow Spring Water, and in the end the whole person can be transformed into a Hades Dragon made of Yellow Spring Water, achieving a form of near immortality.
"But this is not enough!" Yang Xiao controlled all this with great wisdom and did not let himself lose control. Instead, he continued to think: "The three volumes of secret records have been divided too much and need to be recovered one by one."
"Although I have mastered the three-in-one martial arts, I am not necessarily able to defeat those old seniors!"
Especially the royal family, they have mastered half of the Secret Record of Immortality. There must be someone in the royal family who has practiced the Secret Record of Immortality. After years of practice, he may not be their opponent.
"We still need to restore order and make the royal family give up this evil thing." Yang Xiao thought immediately.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the Secret Record of Immortality that the royal family favored villains and distanced themselves from wise ministers, and even strongly supported eunuchs in persecuting loyal and good people.
With this belief, Yang Xiao decided to restore order, purge the corrupt officials, recover the three secret records, and create a bright and peaceful world again!
With martial arts skills, the fear in Yang Xiao's heart was much lessened.
All he cares about now is the great terror. The fear in his heart can no longer have any effect on him.
The zombies were harming people, so he planned to get rid of them, so he kept searching for them in this empty city. However, he didn't expect that the zombie seemed to .
Looking at this empty city, even Yang Xiao now felt that an unspeakable fear was gathering.
Instinctively, Yang Xiao returned to his small boat parked on the river in the city, and then paddled out of the town.
Looking at the small town gradually going away, Yang Xiao was a little confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Although he is very wise, he has only a limited amount of experience after all. His firm belief will not make him a talented person who is well versed in human nature and worldly affairs all of a sudden.
But soon, Yang Xiao discovered a boat on the other side of the river, and there was a sign of life on the boat.
This caught Yang Xiao's attention. Last night, a disaster broke out in the small town because of the fight for the Heart Zen Secret Records, and a big demon zombie was spawned.
If ordinary people failed to escape, it would be understandable, but that day, people from the three sects and six schools as well as the three military departments of the court all sent people.
Captain Kang was able to escape by hiding in the ground with the help of his magical skills, and others might also have other ways to escape.
The people on this small boat might know something about what happened last night, and maybe Master is fine.
Although he knew it was unlikely, Yang Xiao still took it to heart immediately.
He instinctively acquired the ability to tread on water and approached the boat silently.
Before he got close, he smelled a fragrance and his expression immediately fell.
The castrated dogs in the palace might sometimes have a bit of urine smell on their bodies due to poor castration techniques. In order to cover up this smell and not to offend the nobles, they would wear sachets and apply scented powder, so that their whole bodies would have a fragrance.
It was the eunuch Gou who led people to raid his Yang family back then. Yang Xiao had no good feelings towards the eunuch Gou at all.
He arrived on the boat quietly. The three eunuchs on the boat had not yet noticed his presence. They were still lying there, talking to each other from time to time.
"How could Lord Lu be resurrected?" One of the eunuchs said with fear in his face.
The Sanwu tribe was composed entirely of eunuchs, and could barely be considered colleagues with the Cheng'en tribe, which was composed of nobles.
"It's too late to say this now." Another person shook his head and said, "The Heart Zen Secret Records were stolen by the man in the bamboo hat."
"Damn Yang Tianzheng!" another eunuch suddenly cursed, making Yang Xiao immediately furious and wanting to kill the three eunuchs.
To curse one's father in front of his son is a feud between life and death.
They persecuted my loyal father so much, and now after his death, they even dare to curse him like this!
Fortunately, he has now mastered his magical powers and can control his emotions a little so as not to lose his composure too much.
It would be better to let these people communicate and reveal more information.
"Yes, if it weren't for him, how could such a disaster have happened?" The eunuch who spoke first had a look of resentment in his eyes: "He was deeply favored by the emperor, but he conspired with the three sects and six schools to steal this volume of Zen secret records."
When he heard the news, Yang Xiao couldn't bear it any longer.
"How dare you slander my father like this!" He suddenly raised his hand, burst out with tremendous force, and overturned the boat with a casual flick of his hand.
The three eunuchs were thrown out and fell into the water.
However, the three eunuchs all have certain martial arts skills.
After falling into the water, he quickly woke up, swam out of the water, and with a burst of internal strength, he flew up from the water and landed on the bottom of the overturned boat. He drew his sword and pointed it at Yang Xiao.
"You are the son of the sinner Yang Tianzheng?" The three eunuchs also reacted at this time, looked at each other, and said quickly: "Do you think we are talking nonsense?"
"Then how do you explain your father's secret keeping of Jianghu wanderers as retainers, which is clearly against the law?"
"Or do you really think there are any righteous men among those Jianghu people?"
