Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 106 Kong Ming Confronts the Water Mirror

"That won't do. Sir, you never talk about people's faults. When you speak of people's good and bad, you always say good things. You are worthy of your reputation, Sir. I know that very well." Zhuge Liang replaced the wine with tea and hurriedly paid for it.

"Kong Ming, you stink me?"

Yan Huan knew very well that this respect came from Mr. Shuijing, but facing Zhuge Wuhou's etiquette of serving tea, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

After a cup of tea, the melancholy grew stronger and they both sighed at the same time.

"When do we leave?" Yan Huan said.

“The students haven’t made up their minds yet.”

"Then I won't go. Wouldn't it be better to be an idle wanderer? We sorcerers are the best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm. It's easy for you and me to protect ourselves in this chaotic world."

"For you and me, becoming an immortal is not an unattainable dream."

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, resting his hands on the green grass, looking up at the cloudless blue sky.

"That makes sense. Sir, what kind of mentality did you have when you hid in the mountains?"

"Could it be that I am only half a step away from the state of metamorphosis?"

Yan Huan did not deny it, but although it was only half a step, it was like a chasm. The last half step is often the most difficult and the most dangerous and unpredictable.

As expected, as expected!
Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and couldn't help but feel ecstatic for this friend and senior.

"Mr. Shuijing has the appearance of a pine tree and the bones of a crane, and he is extraordinary. He is a friend of pine and bamboo and loves the zither and books. He is a man who lives in the mountains and is aloof from the world. He can be said to be unrestrained and magical, and extraordinary. Now that he has comprehended everything, he will wait for his ascension."

Yan Huan took a sip of tea without showing much joy.

"Kong Ming, if I deviate even a little bit from this half step, I will be doomed."

"After the last divination, I threw away everything about being a sorcerer and will only call myself a witch from now on. This is the path I'm looking for. As someone who has walked these two paths at the same time, I can see some things more clearly than you."

"If you figure it out in the future, maybe these ideas will be helpful to you."

Zhuge Liang straightened his posture, bowed and said, "Please teach me."

"Warlocks control the changes of heaven and earth, while sorcerers communicate with heaven and earth. If sorcerers want to achieve the great way, they must eventually transcend the changes of heaven and earth, but sorcerers are the opposite. They will eventually merge into all things."

"One puts it down, and the other picks it up. It's funny that I've come this far, and I found out I went the wrong way."

lay down?

Pick up?

Yan Huan's brain froze for a moment as he was overlapping with Sima Hui.

Is this what the Great Witch thinks of the path he is taking?

Although Yan Huan did not know the meaning of Sima Hui's words, this was the enlightenment of the great witch after all. It would be of great benefit to his own practice as a witch, so he must remember it well.

"Letting go is easier said than done..."

"Then don't you have the answer in your heart?" Sima Hui said with a smile.

Damn it!
What are you laughing at? Don't change the subject!
Continuing with the previous topic of “picking up and putting down”, how did the wizard go astray and what should he pick up?
Yan Huan wished he could slap himself twice at this moment.

"The answer, if you can't find the answer, a sorcerer should seek benefits and avoid harm." Zhuge Liang laughed, "So I came up with a stupid idea."

"Tell me."

"Sir, compared to 'Water Mirror', I prefer the honorific title given to you by strange people—"

Witch King!

"So, why not let the Wizard King, who represents the will of heaven and earth, compete with me, a sorcerer who can only go with the flow, to see who will win, heaven or those who go against heaven."

Yan Huan folded his hands across his chest and stared at Zhuge Liang solemnly.

"Are you really not here to call for punishment?"

"If you feel that you can't afford to pay three visits, then I'll go and talk to you. With my prestige, it's easy to fool Liu Da'er."

"Don't! You are cheapening me, sir." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Yan Huan stood up from the chessboard and said, "I just said it casually."

When people are hesitant, they always like to use rituals to finalize their judgment. However, they do not know that before those meaningless rituals are finalized, people already have the answers to the things they are struggling with in their hearts.

The wind was blowing in the bamboo forest, and the green grass was receding like the tide, leaving only black soil and a few exposed bluestones around.

The venue was cleared.

"Come on, Kong Ming."

"Excuse me, Mr. Shuijing."

"Five ghosts." Yan Huan's body moved automatically, and he stretched out one hand. Five one-horned ghosts refined by "Qingfeng" came out of his body and surrounded him.

Without any soul-calling flag or magical instrument, Sima Hui directly relied on his physical body to host the ghost. He suppressed the evil spirits with his body. This alone was enough to make Yan Huan marvel.

"go with!"

shhhhhh!
Five one-horned ghosts transformed into evil spirits and rushed out like a gust of wind, entangling Kong Ming from the front, back, left and right, and surrounding him. The remaining ghosts waved their long robes and chopped down fiercely from the top of their heads.

Zhuge Liang held his breath in his chest, pinched his fingers and placed them in front of his lips, and performed the "Xun Word Method·Lan". The chaotic and tangled strong winds were woven into ropes, which wrapped up the five one-horned ghosts like dumplings.

"Tang!"

With a shout, the wind rope was broken and the five big ghosts were trapped in the vortex of strong wind, unable to escape.

"This incomparably exquisite Qimen magic, I am ashamed of myself. And this Qimen game of trampling, if it weren't for Feng Hou's reincarnation, there would be no one in the world who could rival you."

"Sir, you are so kind. I wonder if I have the honor to see the essence of the five elements?"

"No problem." Yan Huan snapped his fingers, and the essence of the five elements emerged from behind him.

wait a minute!

Why is Sima Hui's five elements essence different from mine?
Yan Huan glanced at the five elves in front of him. The gold elf was a plain golden egg, and the wood elf was quite human-like, a hunchbacked wooden monster.

The remaining three were completely different from what Yan Huan had imagined. The water spirit was a liquid beauty transformed from water, the fire spirit was a hot-tempered young man covered in flames, and the earth spirit was a simple and steady old brother, a stone man.

It fits the stereotype of the three anthropomorphic attributes quite well.

"Gold Essence!"

Still wondering, Yan Huan pointed his finger forward, and the big golden egg rushed forward, with golden light splattering all over its body like a laser. At the same time, the earth spirits that were secretly lurking on the ground began to move.

The stone surface beneath Zhuge Liang's feet collapsed, and thick stone walls suddenly emerged from all around him, forming a cage.

The Kun character method: splitting the stone.

boom!
The stone wall shattered and Zhuge Liang stepped out.

"That's a bit overbearing. If the students were a little weaker, all the spells in this Qimen Bureau would be ineffective."

Directly banning all five elements, is this something a human can do?

"Water spirit!"

The fluid beauty pulled back, and the raging waves swept over the sky and the earth, and a dark shadow spread over Zhuge Kongming's head.

Kan word method——

Frozen!

Zhuge Liang clasped his palms together, ice spikes shot out in all directions, and the raging and violent water wall froze in the ice. Under the shining sunlight, it emitted star-like fluorescence of ice crystals.

"Kong Ming, you are not naive enough to regard this competition as a war to enter the world, right?" Mr. Shuijing asked the question even though he knew the answer.

Zhuge Kongming had made up his mind. Although he had the ability to stay out of the matter, he insisted on throwing himself into saving the world which he knew was beyond salvation.

"You are going against the will of heaven, do you really want some comfort?" "Mr. Shuijing, please don't have any sympathy for your students." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"OK···"

Possessed by the five spirits!

At the command, the essence of the five elements transformed into the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", and were respectively integrated into the five internal organs of "lungs, liver, kidneys, heart and spleen". One Qi flowed through, and the sea of ​​Qi surged and circulated endlessly.

"Is this the final appearance of the Five Elements?"

He uses metal and stone as armor, water and fire as shield, and has green feathers on his back. He can mobilize the five elements at will and release five elements magic freely.

Yan Huan was still admiring the changes in himself when he inadvertently put two fingers together and pointed out.

With a thought, six lava fire bombs poured out.

Zhuge Liang placed one hand on the ground and performed the Gen method - the ground surged. Immediately, a thick and hard stone wall appeared in front of him.

The lava exploded, red flames shot out, and smashed into the stone wall. The cold wall surface began to shatter and slowly broke open like ice.

Zhuge Liang, who was hiding behind a stone wall, had not yet seen the battle situation clearly when a huge monster violently broke the wall open. A black snake with scarlet eyes opened its bloody mouth and bit the body that was as small as a blade of grass, and ran straight to the gravel beach in the distance.

Zhuge Liang stretched out his arms to hold the bloody wound firmly in place.

Yan Huan stood on the head of Teng Snake and shot the red flame of the fire spirit into Teng Snake's body, causing it to merge with the evil fire.

Zhuge Liang struggled to hold on to his fangs, and saw black flames surging in the snake's mouth, and an explosive flame was ready to burst out. Teng Snake originally represented a terrifying and evil spirit, and it complemented the fire spirit. Needless to say, the power of this black flame was self-evident.

"A sorcerer must follow the trend. Go back, Zhuge Kongming. You want to go against the will of heaven, but have you won over heaven?"

"You ask the heavens for divination, and you will definitely steal the secrets from heaven again and again. If you act like this, will the heavens really tolerate you?"

Sima Hui raised his head high, but his eyes were looking downwards.

Zhuge Kongming, whether it was the three visits or saving the people of the world, I never doubted your determination to enter the world from the beginning.

Let me see how firm this determination is.

People all say that Mr. Shuijing is a noble and aboveboard person with extensive knowledge, who has the ability to understand people and the world and recommend talented people. But in my opinion, I am just a coward hiding in the woods.

I don't have your courage to struggle in this world and call people "sir" all the time. But from the point of view of caring about the common people, I am obviously about to enter the realm of equality of all things, but I am not at all comparable to you.

"The essence of the five elements, the soaring snake..."

This is the Witch King...
"I was wrong, sir. Fighting with you is simply courting death."

"To defeat Mr. Shui Jing is even harder than going against the will of heaven, but if I win this battle, I should be able to compete with heaven."

What a breath of evil black flame!
But ordinary fire is just ordinary fire after all.

call!
A bright and soft dark blue flame suddenly gushed out of the mouth of the Teng Snake, entangled and collided with the evil fire.

The phantom fire spread over the snake god's dark and hard scales and began to burn in the cracks.

"This flame offsets the black flame, and its burning effect on spirits seems to be far greater than that of ordinary flames."

"Kong Ming, you have cultivated something extraordinary."

I have seen it, the True Fire Samadhi!
Yan Huan stepped on the edge of the phantom fire and stopped to look down.

Zhuge Liang's clothes were burned to ashes, leaving only his dark white lining stained with ashes.

"what?"

"Ignite the Three Treasures, use the soul as fuel, and ignite the fire of life, which is called 'True Fire Samadhi'."

I have three true fires: the heart is the sovereign fire, also known as the divine fire, and its name is the upper ignorance; the kidney is the minister fire, also known as the essence fire, and its name is the middle ignorance; the bladder, which is the sea of ​​qi below the navel, is the people's fire, and its name is the lower ignorance. When it gathers, it becomes fire, and when it disperses, it becomes qi. This is the three true fires of Samadhi.

On this basis, Zhuge Liang used Qi to infuse the essence of the lower Dantian, the Qi of the middle Dantian, and the spirit of the upper Dantian, and used the three treasures as energy to ignite the flame. This technique is contrary to the complexity of Qimen techniques. It is simple and plain, yet extremely dangerous.

Because it is a fire that burns the soul, it is also very effective in dealing with spiritual beings such as elves.

"It was created specifically to deal with us sorcerers, right?"

"It was an accident." Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, "Let's continue."

call!
The dark fire spread everywhere, and Yan Huan felt the green feather behind him burning.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"

"At this speed, with the Five Elements, I should be able to dodge it. Without any control spells to restrict my movements, it doesn't make sense for me to be hit so easily."

Sima Hui felt that there was no need to continue fighting.

"Put out the fire for me."

Yan Huan flew down from the sky. Upon hearing what Zhuge Liang said, he gathered the flame of True Fire Samadhi in his palm.

"Are you feeling better?" Sima Hui asked.

"No."

"The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. In addition, the Han Dynasty is in decline. No one should understand these principles better than you."

"Those who give up the art of perseverance, go against the trend, and do it even though they know it is impossible. If you have the courage and spirit to do it, you can go ahead and do it. If you have nothing to do, don't come to me to seek a sense of existence."

Sima Hui put his hands behind his back and said, "Go, you are better than heaven."

Zhuge Liang bowed, said nothing more, and took a step forward.

The exposed black rock beach is full of vitality, with a green path blossoming on both sides and the fragrance of flowers filling the air.

"Have a good trip. I can only send you here."

Sima Hui sighed, and Yan Huan broke away from that somewhat lonely and melancholy figure.

Yan Huan held his heaving chest and let out a long sigh.

A bit of excitement
"But Sister Qingming, I don't understand. It seems that nothing has happened to the wood spirit. Is it just because its wings were burned?"

There was no sound in the air.

In front of the bamboo garden, Sima Hui stared at the black and white pieces leaning against each other on the chessboard and sighed helplessly.

"You've been with me for a long time. So, is it your heart that's moved, or is it mine?"

"Wood elf..."

"Devoting oneself to worldly affairs, fighting for the common people, stirring up the storm, how carefree and unrestrained it is. After practicing in the mountains for a long time, I actually feel a little envious."

Sima Hui put away the teacup, closed the chessboard, and waved his hand.

"Go, take good care of him and make sure he stays healthy throughout his life. You're going to lead troops into battle, so you need to be in good health."

quack!

Thick roots emerged from the grass and weaved into a human shape.

The wood elf nodded and crawled back into the soil.

Zhuge Kongming walked out of Xiaowuming Mountain, feeling extremely refreshed. Looking back at the mountain road he had walked down, it was obviously rugged and difficult to walk on, but it did not hurt his feet at all.

After admiring the spring scenery in the mountains for a while, a vegetable man made of tendrils and vines crawled out of the ground.

"You are, sir's wood spirit?"

"Mr. Shui Jing asked me to protect you."

"Protect me? But you are only half a step away. Are you going to send the wood spirit away at this time?" Zhuge Liang shook his head in disbelief. "Go back, go back!"
