Hunting the Heavens

Hidden Image

Hidden Image

Dec 27, 2024

"When the hidden image is born, the world's Tao is overthrown; when the yin and yang are combined, the five elements and six qi are conceived... those who are destined to get it will obtain it."

These two strange words are written on both sides of the strange painting in the center of the secret room, and in the center of the painting is a circle. The circle is divided into two parts by a twisted line, half white and half black. One black and one white are like two twisting fish entangled together, making the circle tight and impeccable. A word is written on each of the two "fish": "yin" and "yang". Outside the yin and yang circle is the bright starry sky, where the sun, moon and stars appear and disappear, revolving around the circle.

Yes, the scene in the painting is moving.

Camden looked at the word "hidden image" with astonishment, and suddenly a flash of enlightenment flashed in his mind. Every word in the Xuandao Taoism that he had learned for seven years jumped out from his eyes, like flowing water, forming a circle, which was exactly the same as the yin and yang fish in the painting.
"Hidden Image! I finally understand. It, the one I want to seize in two days, is the hidden image. But what is the hidden image? The combination of yin and yang, the five elements and six qi... Is this the way to seize the hidden image? It can be seen, how to do it?"

"It seems that the secret of the hidden image is here." Camden stared at the painting, holding back his excitement. The legendary magical existence that can change a person's potential is there. Even Camden, who is usually very calm, can't help but feel excited.

However, a moment later, something shocking happened to Camden.

A figure appeared from the black and white circle. He nodded slightly in Camden's direction, then sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Camden opened his mouth in surprise, clenched his fists and dared not blink. He saw that as the man breathed in and out, countless rays of light shot out from the Zhoutian stars above his head and poured into his body. Soon, the stars in the sky above his head had formed a strange trajectory around him, emitting light from six directions and disappearing into his body, and his transparent body began to change. Five balls of dark light emerged from his lower abdomen and suddenly became brighter. It was the five dark rays of blue, red, white, black and yellow that sank and rose from time to time, gradually filling the man's body. Camden was surprised to find that after the starlight entered the man's body, it was divided into two lines and penetrated downward, and the two lines gave birth to countless branches throughout his body. Like a rushing river, it flowed through his whole body.
"It seems that these five halos are the images of the hidden image before it was formed. They turned into five groups, but they echoed each other. But how can the hidden image be obtained?"
At this moment, Camden's heart was beating fast, and an idea flashed through his mind. That idea flashed, and it could never disappear again-the nameless breathing method that he had practiced for many years naturally rose in his heart.
The cold wind blew in along with the moonlight, brushing the boy's hair. The boy sat cross-legged like the man in the picture, and practiced the breathing method that Yiyi taught him six years ago.

Half an hour.

One hour.

Three hours.

…

After a whole day and night, finally, a tiny and imperceptible light in the wild seemed to notice Camden, struggled to twist away from the scroll, and then hesitated and watched for a long time, finally crossing several feet of space, flew in front of Camden, rotated twice, and then "whoosh" into the boy's body!

…

…

"It's been almost three days, where did that kid die? Could it be that he didn't forget to hide and sleep secretly when he was about to die?" Boss Tu grabbed the teacup on the table, drank it all, and cursed.

Beside him, Yiyi and Taoist Jia were sitting. Hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Mr. Jian ran in in a panic, panting heavily. He glanced at the three people and did not forget to tidy up his clothes.

"I couldn't find him in the entire Taoist temple, and even Xiaogu didn't know." Mr. Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Yiyi, and said softly, "Jun'er didn't listen to what I said that day and left. But it's good for him to leave, and it's good for us."

"Humph! Broken scholar, do you have so little confidence in your apprentice? Don't you know who Jun'er is?" Boss Tu snorted coldly.
"Actually, Mr. Jian is right. It's better for him to leave. At least he won't be in danger, and we won't be too embarrassed." Taoist Jia sighed and looked at Yiyi, "Your proposal has been accepted by everyone in the past two years, but I have always wanted to ask you, have you really never regretted it?"

Yiyi, who had been silent, raised her head and looked at Taoist Jia, her eyes drifting into the distance, and whispered, "Regret it? Maybe a little regret, but it's different from you. I know that you are worried that after using my method to make Jun'er generate hidden images, he will have the ability to open the Dao Mansion, and naturally become our master. But, what does it matter? Are you willing to stay here for thousands of years, waiting for Pingtian to come back and let us out?"

Taking a deep look at Yiyi, Taoist Jia shook his hand. Counting the chips, he suddenly smiled, "Wait for Pingtian? Wait for that bastard to show mercy? Haha, Yiyi, after you pass your hidden image to him, what will you do? No one has ever tried to transfer the hidden image, because no one has the courage, and no one is willing to do so. There are thousands of Taoists in the world, how many people have the chance to obtain the hidden image? In ancient times, only two or three people out of a thousand people got it. In the past thousand years, almost no one in the world has ever gotten it. And after losing the hidden image, at least all cultivation is lost. Are you willing to give up a thousand years of cultivation and start from scratch? Or do you want to be an ordinary woman in the world? Or do you want to rely on your good disciple for the rest of your life?"

Yiyi's beautiful figure trembled slightly, and then she looked up and stared at Taoist Jia, as if trying to find some clues, "Why are you saying these things now? ? That was what we agreed to two years ago. How can it change? Do you still want to take Jun'er to that place as planned seven years ago, and let him accept Pingtian's so-called inheritance. Are you willing to do that? Pingtian tried more than thousands of talented monks, but who else survived except me... and that monster Qitian? The so-called inheritance is just an excuse for Pingtian to cover up his failure. " Picking up the teacup, Taoist Jia took a sip, raised his head, and turned his eyes from Yiyi to the other two people, "But who can say that he won't be another monster? At the age of ten, he went to Luoyun Mountain alone without the Tao. He could form a bond with Liefeng, find this, and indirectly know about the existence. All of this does not belong to a simple child. His luck is beyond compare."

After a pause, Taoist Jia ignored the cold eyes of Boss Tu and continued, "If he gets there, with his will and luck, he may really become the third person in the world to plant the hidden image in ten thousand years, and he does not need to inherit your hidden image, so he can only open the Taoist palace but cannot control it. In this way, we will not be bound by Pingtian and do not need to serve anyone as our master."

"So Jun'er already knows that place, and you led him there? I know that you, the dead Taoist, have bad intentions. I watch you day and night, but how did you do it?"

Boss Tu said slowly. He seemed calm, but Yiyi and others who knew him knew that this was the moment when he was most angry.
Standing up and looking at the extremely realistic sky, Taoist Jia sighed, "I really like astrology, so I wait for guests to calculate their fortunes at the door all day long. I have waited for hundreds of years. The fish in the river opposite have been reincarnated countless times, but no living person has ever come. However, you seem to have forgotten that my major is the Way of Weirdness. Thousands of years ago, the master of the Way of Weirdness, who dominated the world and was a guest of honor for emperors, is now trapped in this damn Taoist temple with white hair. The only person who can calculate is a little kid. It's ridiculous, It's really ridiculous. "

The clenched fist of Tu Lao Da gradually loosened, his face was bright and dark, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Jia, after calculating the little kid, you want to start calculating me again? Humph, don't think that your few words can make me remember the past and not beat you. You have been the master of Jun'er, that good boy, for seven years, but you don't care about his safety for your own sake. Are you still a human being?"

"Human... What is a human being? Tell me, are we human beings? Yiyi, tell me!" Taoist Jia turned around suddenly and looked at Yiyi.

"Of course, if not, why do we have to go out? But I ask you, did you really take Jun'er there?"

Taoist Jia looked at Yiyi who raised her head and was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and smiled, "You cried, it seems that you are indeed a human being, congratulations Yiyi."

The crystal tears flowed down Yiyi's beautiful cheeks, which scared Boss Tu next to her, but then he sighed slightly, with relief flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, although my astrology is not at the level of a master, it is not far away. After you taught Jun'er the formula for hunting the hidden elephant six years ago, a new star appeared in the northern star field. It is most likely Jun'er. Those who can have a star are all long-lived and influential characters. He can definitely survive this test. What's more, he has absorbed the essence of Liefeng's life." As he said, Jia Daoren took out the eggshell and shook it at Yiyi. This was the one Camden gave him when he first arrived seven years ago. "What is Liefeng's mother clan? I believe you all know that its life essence is much stronger than those so-called panaceas." "But no matter how strong it is, it can't compare to the spirit stone essence of the East China Sea. When Qi Tian created the hidden elephant, the earth, fire, wind, water and thunder transformed into the ten directions of the devil to invade and come to kill Qi Tian was killed. I followed Pingtian and witnessed the catastrophe on the cliff of Donghai. The ten gods and demons snatched Qi Tian's five lucks and six qi, and even the origin of the Tao was taken away by them. Seeing that Qi Tian was about to be killed, Pingtian was ready to take me away. Unexpectedly, Qi Tian, ​​the monster, suddenly realized the way of the earthly evil at the last moment. It was the head of the earthly evil that allowed him to repel the ten gods and demons by chance and obtain the innate hidden image. But even Pingtian said that the reason he was able to survive at the last moment was because he was the reincarnation of the spirit stone Jingyun, and was protected by the spirit stones of the world, so he was able to realize the way of the earthly evil. Although Qi Tian is a human, he is not an ordinary person, and Jun'er is a real mortal, and he is also a... useless person. "
"Enough! Yiyi!" Taoist Jia interrupted Yiyi coldly, looked at the stunned Yiyi, and sneered, "I know you beat You look down on ordinary people, and even more so on us who are transformed from ordinary things in this world... So you don't believe that ordinary people can have such great luck. You fell in love with Jun'er, because you saw the shadow of Qi Tian in him, even though there was a huge difference between them. So you want to pass your hidden image to Jun'er, so that he can gain the power to defy the heavens in the world, and even have the possibility of catching up with Qi Tian in a few hundred years. But have you ever thought about his feelings? You are giving alms, and when he knows the truth, he will be depressed from then on with his character. I know that you don't believe that he can obtain the hidden image by himself, nor do you believe in the way we teach him, but you have to believe in the way of heaven. He is a life star, and among the more than 900 billion stars, there are only 60,936 life stars. Jun'er is the one chosen by heaven, so how can he be in trouble? "
"What a joke you are talking about. The fate star never chooses a master. It is just a show-off item hunted by the great masters... Qi Tian? What do you know? Do you think I will like that guy who has no father and no master?" Yiyi's eyes were stunned, and she seemed to be surprised by what Jia Daoren said. Then her face was as cold as frost, and she looked at Jia Daoren, "He thinks he is a hero and goes up there to show off his power, but he doesn't know how many people he has implicated? Just like us, if Pingtian hadn't been busy looking for those outsiders, we would have been suppressed by him to guard this broken Taoist mansion?" "Oh? Is that so? I find that Jun'er is very similar to Qi Tian in his bones, just as stubborn, just as rebellious, and even just as desperate to achieve his goals, even at the cost of his life." Jia Daoren said in a deep voice, "But he really doesn't have as good a fate as Qi Tian." Yiyi glanced at Jia Daoren coldly, and said with a light red lips, "I like Jun'er, and it's a woman's love for a man. We cultivators of the mysterious Taoism will never suppress our feelings. Old Tu Shen, I almost fell for your trick again. Do you think you can make me give up by using some old things to squeeze me? "

Before he finished speaking, he saw a red light shining on the Classics Pavilion not far away, and a fiery red blood light shot down from the sky like a cold arrow, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

The four people looked out the window and their faces changed drastically.

"How could it be... How could it be possible? It's not even 2,199 days yet, how could the Hidden Elephant Tribulation come? I haven't had time yet..." Taoist Jia's face changed, he staggered slightly, and tightly pulled the counting sticks in his hand, muttering.

"It's all your fault! What are you still talking nonsense about? Go and see Jun'er!"

The impatient Tu Boss roared and rushed out first.
