The Fire Territory is vast and sparsely populated, but Qin Sang can sense immortal cultivators from time to time, traveling back and forth in the magma, looking for something.
Even when I returned to the vicinity of the dojo, I found two Nascent Soul monks wandering around.
The dojo was blocked by the spiritual formation, so naturally they couldn't sense it.
Entering the dojo, Qin Sang immediately summoned Guihou.
When the Marquis of Gui comes, give him a mustard seed bag.
"Send these things to Qingyang Temple, take them and go on a boat trip to Muluo Mountain..."
Yun Dutian is preparing for the war, and Mu Luoshan will definitely not be far behind. Qin Sang is about to seize this opportunity and get the best of both worlds.
Several of the masters of spirit transformation under his command had a grudge against Spirit Eclipse and Luohunyuan, but Guihou was superior in strength and intelligence, and had the land and boat nearby to protect himself.
"Whenever you have nothing else to do from now on, you can stay in Qingyang to watch and listen."
"As you command!"
Guihou bowed and retreated. He first found Ling Xi and asked him about the situation in Mu Luoshan, then left the dojo and headed south.
Qin Sang went directly to the fire room. With a wave of his hand, he was surrounded by light groups, which were various magic weapons and spiritual materials.
…
After Guihou arrived at Qingyang Temple, he was also called into the earth.
Three masters of transformation were waiting for instructions in front of the main altar.
The mustard seed bag sent by this deity contains part of the spiritual materials for building the altar.
Qin Sang recorded the method of building the altar in a jade slip and gave it to the three demons.
After that, he will sit in charge of the main altar, and he does not have to do it himself when building the sub-altars. The three demons can do it.
Marquis Gui took the jade slips and the boat and rushed to Muluo Mountain without stopping.
Luohou and Taiyi were in Qingyang Temple, thoroughly understood the contents of the jade slips, and took the spiritual materials with them to set off.
Restoring the altar array starts today!
…
Neither the young man named Shi nor the Yin family disclosed to the outside world what they experienced at Qingyang Temple.
Xiaowu and Yulang lived a peaceful life in Qingyangguan day after day. The people they came into contact with the most were the villagers of Qipai Village, the students in the school, and the people who came here to seek medicine.
Here, you can't feel the changes in the world of immortality.
The weather is getting cooler.
Yellow leaves are flying.
‘嘘嘚嘚……’
On the road, several fast horses came towards Qipai Village.
The leader is handsome and handsome in brocade clothes, and his brows are elegant. He looks like a handsome nobleman.
The few people behind were all armed with swords and were accompanying the guards.
These people's temples are bulging high, their riding posture and formation are extremely unusual, and their eagle eyes are like lightning, alert to enemies that may appear from any direction.
Seeing Qipai Village and the lush bamboo forest from a distance, the noble prince smiled and flicked the reins.
"drive!"
The speed suddenly increased a lot, and the followers had no trouble keeping up, as if they were walking on flat ground, and their equestrian skills were extremely superb.
Turning the corner, the noble man let out a light sigh.
However, he saw a large stone standing at the entrance of the bamboo forest. The words "Those who seek medicine come here" were engraved on the stone. There was also a man who looked like a villager standing by.
‘Hush!’
The noble master reined in his horse and stopped, glanced at the mountain behind Qipai Village, and asked in a deep voice: "This fellow, there should be a school in the bamboo forest, right? Why do you have to go inside to ask for medicine? Isn't Taoist Master Qingfeng of Qingyang Temple not here?"
"
When the villagers saw the man's posture, they stood up in a hurry and said with a smile: "Is this young master from out of town? The master of the school is Taoist Yulang from Qingyang Temple. Taoist Yulang is the disciple of Taoist Qingfeng. Qingfeng Taoist
When he got older, he passed the Taoist temple to Taoist priest Yulang, who taught in the school during the day and went back to the Taoist temple to sleep at night."
"Yulang became the temple's master?"
A smile appeared on the corner of the noble prince's lips, he got off his horse and ordered his entourage to wait outside.
Outside the school, several bamboo huts were specially built for sitting in clinics.
The villagers asked the noble young master to sit down and wait, and then went into the school to report.
The noble prince sat patiently, but there was a hint of excitement in his expression. He took out a jade pendant and played with it in his hand.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside.
A young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe walked in, it was Yulang.
Seeing the noble young master looking at him with a smile, Yu Lang was suddenly startled, with a face full of surprise: "Are you... making a fuss?"
It turned out to be Tao Xing, a childhood friend who had been separated for many years!
Between the eyebrows, you can vaguely see the shadow of the past.
At first glance, Yu Lang was a little afraid to recognize each other because his temperament had changed so much.
When he was young, Tao Chen's family was well off, but he was just a rich young man.
Nowadays, Tao Li has a noble air and a graceful demeanor that has been in a high position for a long time. This kind of demeanor does not even exist in the Jin County magistrate!
Tao Li moved his family to the capital. At first, he sent a few letters, but due to the long distance, contact gradually ceased.
Yulang remembered that the Tao family was the home of merchants, and they also did business in the capital.
But this kind of temperament can only be cultivated by famous nobles!
Tao Qian's smile froze, and he said angrily: "I almost couldn't recognize the person, but I remembered the nickname clearly!"
For a moment, Yulang's expression brought back his old feelings.
"It's really you, kid!"
Yulang deliberately walked around Tao Yu and marveled, "Is the Tao family prosperous in the capital?"
"You have changed a lot. I have only seen this kind of ethereal temperament in Master."
Tao Qi had a complicated look on his face, and suddenly sighed, "You are indeed a cultivator of immortality!"
"you!"
Yulang was really stunned.
Qipai Village is located in a remote location, and no immortal cultivator would come specifically to check it out. He has never deliberately concealed his cultivation level.
Even so, it is impossible for a mortal to see his true identity.
But Yulang looked Tao Qi up and down, and there was clearly no fluctuation of spiritual power in his body.
"Is it only possible for you to have an immortal destiny?"
Tao Qi showed a proud smile, "You have such a small nose, it's so hard to hide it from me! I finally got my revenge today!"
He gently touched the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant flashed with light, and his aura suddenly changed. He was an outstanding immortal cultivator!
Yulang was immediately surprised, "The tenth level of Qi refining stage!"
When we parted ways, Tao Qi was obviously still a mortal.
"Have you already established the foundation? I am still not as good as you!"
Tao Qi was frustrated for a moment, but soon regained his complacent look, "How about it? I'm shocked!"
Yulang nodded honestly, "I really didn't expect that you became the master in the capital?"
"It's a long story..."
Tao Qi cast a spell to isolate the inside and outside, and sat down face to face with Yu Lang.
"Do you still remember that time at Zuixianglou? At that time, I felt that the storyteller and your master were definitely not ordinary people. When I returned to the capital, I always regretted leaving the meeting too early. Later, when I went out for an outing, I strayed into the mountains and accidentally ran into
My master, I was led into the Immortal Sect by my master, only then did I know that there is an immortal way in the world..."
Tao Qi lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Are Taoist Qingfeng and the storyteller great hidden powers?"
"Senior Qingyuan left after drinking that day and never came again. As for the master, I have never seen him take action. He may be very high..."
Yulang couldn't help but think that the ghosts and gods of Jin County, the young man named Shi and the whole Yin family all respected his master.
It is said that the head of the Yin family is the ancestor of Yuanying.
"such a pity!"
Tao Qi sighed, "The slave was busy that day and had to call me away. I didn't hear the two great masters discussing the Tao, so I missed my destiny!"
Thinking about it to this day, Tao Qian still felt deeply regretful and slapped his thigh violently.
"I basically don't understand the content of the discussion between Master and Senior Qingyuan, and it's still in the dark. If you want to know, I'll tell you later," Yulang said.
"You are indeed a good brother. It's no wonder that I've always been thinking about you!"
Tao Qi was overjoyed and held Yu Lang's hand, "After I became a disciple, I was left by the master to practice in the mountains. When I rarely went out, I had no chance to send you a message. It wasn't until last year that the master allowed me to go down the mountain, although I didn't come to see you.
, but I have already heard your name like a thunderbolt. I have arranged the affairs and come to Jin County to find you immediately!"
"What sect did you join?"
Yulang wanted to speak but stopped.
There is another question that has not been asked.
Tao Qi was full of nobility. He looked like a member of a noble family enjoying all the glory and wealth in the world, not like a cultivator.
Is this the trend in the immortal cultivating world in the capital?
"I don't know what sect it is. Master didn't tell me and said that I am of low ability. If I tell anyone, it will bring disgrace to the sect!"
Tao Qi scratched his head, noticed Yu Lang's eyes, smiled, stood up, shook his brocade robe and accessories, and showed off: "How do I look like? The best Huzhou brocade in Yan country, the best Xishan brocade
Jade is a tribute to the royal family!"
Without waiting for Yulang to answer, Tao Qi pointed to the school and said: "I am different from you. You are just playing in the world of mortals. I am truly descending from the mountain and transforming into a mortal!"
"Transform into mortals..."
Yulang became even more confused.
Now he knows that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, not just in terms of strength.
Practitioners should stay away from the world of mortals. First, there are divine Tao supervisors in the human world. Second, there are too many temptations in the world of mortals. It is easy for Taoist minds to become dusty and neglect their practice.
Did Tao Qi practice any special skills, or maybe he didn't pay much attention to practice.
"That's right! After I came down from the mountain last year, I asked to see the prince and became his staff to assist him in inheriting his great cause. Those people outside are all subordinates sent by the prince to protect me!"
Tao Yan said in a deep voice.
He didn't seem to realize that once the words he said spread out, it would be shocking in the Yan country!
Yulang taught in a school and had some understanding of the situation in the Yan Kingdom's court.
Today, the Holy Father is getting old, and there is an undercurrent in the court.
The prince is the eldest prince and the legitimate son of the emperor, but the queen died young and lived deep in the East Palace. It is said that she was weak-tempered.
Among all the princes, the second prince was the most popular. He was wise, wise, talented, talented, and highly favored by the saints.
Other princes also participated in government affairs, and many of them had virtuous names.
Tao Qi was obviously a cultivator of immortality. He not only interfered in the government affairs, but also assisted the prince in his ascension to the throne!
How could the ghosts and gods in Yan's capital allow him to do this?
"Master has a relationship with the capital city god of the Yan Kingdom. I swear in front of the capital city god that no matter success or failure, I will never use any magic power to interfere with anything in the world. And when the time is right, I will fake death and escape, and be a true mortal for the rest of my life."
Tao Li spread his palms and showed the jade pendant to Yulang, "This City God Jade was given by the City God. It can conceal my aura and seal my cultivation. Once I try to use my spiritual power, I will immediately
You will be noticed by the City God, and the punishment will be increased, and the law will not be merciful!"
Yulang suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't see through Tao Qi's cultivation, but he still didn't understand, "Why did you do this?"
"Do you still remember what I said in Zuixianglou?
“Back then, a storyteller asked me what is the great path of human beings.
"I answer that father and son are related, monarch and ministers are righteous, husband and wife are distinguished, elders and young are in order, and friends are trustworthy.
"I also answer the question of the conduct of the Great Dao. The world is for the common good. We must select the wise and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony. Therefore, we should not only kiss our relatives, nor only our children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will have their own achievements, and the widows will be lonely.
All disabled people are provided with support. But..."
Tao Qi stood up and looked outside the bamboo house, "The storyteller didn't seem to agree. After I left, I thought hard, but I couldn't think of a better humanistic age than this. So I studied hard and vowed to obtain merit and enter the university.
I am an official in the imperial court. One day, I want to create such a prosperous world with my own hands to prove that I am right!"
Looking at his childhood friend, Yulang's expression gradually became serious, and he had guessed what his friend was thinking.
"Until I learned that there are immortal cultivators in the world who are superior to mortals. The efforts that mortals have spent their whole lives and made from generation to generation can be wiped out by the immortal cultivators with one finger!
"The great road of man does not lie with mortals!
"Fortunately, there are still divine ways in the world that can deter immortals and demons. Otherwise, once there are a few more big demons who practice demonic arts and sacrifice a city or a country at every turn, the world will definitely turn into a hell of Shura.
"But ghosts and gods only regard mortals as the source of incense offerings. I heard from Master that Shinto values kindness, but people's hearts can change, and not all gods in the world are good. Some ghosts and gods will secretly promote wars in order to obtain more incense."
Tao Qi sighed deeply and sat down again, "I told Master my wish back then and begged Master to allow me to go down the mountain and give it a try. Regardless of success or failure, only then can my thoughts be clear and I will not hesitate to delay my practice. Of course, I will not be like
I was so naive before, and I will be satisfied if I can implement administrative decrees in Yan State, have good government and people, and make the people rich."
Hearing this, Yu Lang deeply admired his childhood friend. He never expected that he could achieve this level.
"You chose the prince," Yulang said thoughtfully.
Tao Qi nodded: "Yes, the prince is orthodox, with a tolerant nature, excellent in both civil and military skills, and is tolerant enough. The dragon can be big or small. If it is big, it will stir up clouds and spit smoke, while if it is small, it will hide its appearance! I have also seen it secretly.
Among the princes, the second prince is the most powerful. He seems to be wise and powerful, but he is arbitrary and arbitrary. He likes conspiracy and is not like a human king..."
Listening to Tao Qi's comments about the princes, Yulang couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that you would be willing to be a subject and be inferior to mortals."
The moment he said these words, Yu Lang was shocked.
This sentence came out of my mouth so naturally and casually.
At first, the master was killed by the spiritual beast of the immortal cultivator, which made him devastated.
In Zuixianglou, he once asked: Mortals can only be willing to be fish and meat?
It has only been a few years, but has he been subtly changed and believes that immortal cultivators should be superior to mortals?
No wonder Master said that the most difficult thing in practice is to stick to your original intention!
Yulang was almost shocked into a cold sweat.
"The king should have the world in mind and have nothing to do with cultivation!"
Tao Qi did not notice the strangeness of his companion, and said disapprovingly: "Mortals cannot cultivate immortality, but they can practice martial arts. As the saying goes, learning civil and martial arts can bring benefits to the emperor's family. Among mortals, there are still innate masters who serve as generals in the army.
Their military strength is far superior to that of the emperor, but they are willing to serve as the king's subordinates. As long as they are wise kings, why can't I?"
