Just when Jiang Ru was panicking, Zhao Shu flew up to the wind, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, it's natural for things to blossom and bear fruit. It's not a big deal. There's no need to worry. You can just go your separate ways."
When the group of otter monsters heard this, they fled away as if they had been granted amnesty, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Jiang Ru's face was red and hot, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Shu at all.
"How can some clever people make you like this?" Zhao Shu glanced at Jiang Ru: "These otter monsters are new to human affairs, so they will inevitably speak without hesitation. Why should you take it to heart?"
"I don't take it to heart." Jiang Ru quickly calmed down, brushed her hair, and handed the white jade fruit to Zhao Shu: "The otter monsters found this, do you recognize it?"
Zhao Shu took the white jade fruit and began to recall the contents of the Xuanpu jade album. After a moment, he said: "This is the essence of earth milk."
"Earth milk?" Jiang Ru was puzzled: "But shouldn't earth milk come from the ground? There is also a deep cave in Chongxuan Pavilion. Earth milk seeps out from the hanging stone marrow and needs to be caught on a jade plate.
I can only take three or four drops a day at most. I was fortunate enough to have a bottle of earth milk given to me by the First Master, which is of great benefit to my cultivation."
"The earth milk can best nourish the vitality of the furnace and replenish the true energy and magic power. After taking it, the spiritual effect can be exerted freely without having to bother refining it." Zhao Shu said: "With the neutralizing nature of the earth milk, it can also be used to make elixirs.
Combining medicines will not mix the potency of the medicine."
"Of course I know all this." Jiang Ru randomly found a fallen tree trunk and sat down: "There are so many secret scriptures in the Chongxuan Pavilion that contain the secrets of Jinshi Waidan. I don't dare to say that I have read them all, but at least I know a general idea.
I just don’t understand how the earth milk essence can be a fruit? I can still sense the vitality that has not dissipated inside.”
Zhao Shu then slowly said: "The spiritual roots are deeply planted, the Qi is connected to the earth's veins, and the pure Qi is extended and refined by the vegetation, so the earth milk bears fruit."
"Can it still be like this?" Jiang Ru blinked in surprise.
Zhao Shuze said: "This is the cultivation and application of "Sumai Danxin Jue" taught by Xuanpu Hall. Internally, the spiritual roots are deeply planted in the internal organs, and Xuanzhu is attached to them. Externally, the true energy is breathed out, fertile and nourishing Zhicao.
Combing the earth's veins and nurturing the Qiongdan. Didn't your Jiang Family's Sky Fox come from Xuanpu Cave? It is said that you have some connection with Xuanpu Hall, how come you don't even know this?"
"The relationship between our Jiang family and Xuanpu Cave has long been severed. Of course I don't understand this." After Jiang Ru said this, she immediately noticed something strange: "Wait, where did you know this?"
Zhao Shu was stunned, he couldn't say that his mother was a disciple of Xuanpu Hall, and he also got the Xuanpu Jade Book, right? If we look into it carefully, the current Zhao Shu might really be able to continue the inheritance of Xuanpu Hall.
"I have been refining my Qi and preserving my spirit in Lingtai Ruins these past few days, and I have some vague understanding." Zhao Shu explained expressionlessly: "I found that the mountain protection formation set up by the predecessors of Xuanpu Hall in this blessed place did not change due to the
The evil spirits attacked the mountain and completely destroyed it.
The Mountain Guarding Formation itself is like a big tree, which also has its ups and downs. Although it withers temporarily due to external force damage, it can still nourish and repair itself. I can sense the sprouting of life between heaven and earth by running my divine energy into the formation.
, many things are self-evident.”
Jiang Ru had a smile on her face, but Zhao Shu didn't know why: "What? I'm not right?"
"Having been with you for a long time, I am familiar with your words and deeds." Jiang Ru smiled and said: "Whenever you lie, there is no expression on your face. And you just want to talk a lot about it, and you can't wait to talk about it.
Recite the Immortal Sutra from beginning to end to change the subject."
Zhao Shu's face was startled. No one had noticed his habit in the past, but today Jiang Ru exposed it.
"Okay, I'm going to open the altar to practice the Dharma." Zhao Shu waved his hand: "There will be a surge of Qi in Lingtai Ruins later. You guys should leave first."
"Yes, yes, I will obey the Lord Marquis Jun's decree!" Jiang Ru joked.
Zhao Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had no worldly love for Jiang Ru, but more of a friend and acquaintance of like-minded people. This kind of friendship that did not involve too many gains and losses made his mind endure the oppression of the world.
, get a little relief.
"But Jiang Ru does have a crush on you." Lingxiao suddenly said.
"I know." Zhao Shu let his pace go and shuttled among the exotic flowers and plants: "But I hope she can break through such flashy thoughts. The only person worthy of admiration is the quiet road."
Lingxiao said: "You don't have to force everyone to be able to detect it."
"Of course I'm not forcing it, I'm just giving a little guidance." Zhao Shu said: "I finally understand why the immortal family has the wish to enlighten the world. To educate others and enlighten them, there is a lot of mystery and joy. This is not
With ordinary kindness, but as a person who accepts the extradition ship, letting the great road open to the world, this in itself is an act of getting close to the great road."
"Being a teacher is also a disease." Lingxiao reminded: "The Great Dao exists everywhere and is everywhere. It doesn't matter whether it is exposed to the world or not. Not everyone can achieve enlightenment and practice. Not everyone can cultivate immortality and realize the Dao.
Those who are willing to perish will never be forgotten, there is no need to think about them."
Zhao Miao sighed: "Where did I get this ability? I can't enlighten the people in front of me, let alone all living beings in the world."
…
"Is everything packed?"
Jiang Ru watched the otter demons arranged in an orderly manner, carrying their hands on their backs without complaint, like ants moving, taking various sundries away from Lingtai Ruins, while she counted them one by one.
"They're all here." Dahei scratched his belly: "Master's wife, why are you letting Master alone in there?"
"Later, when he opens the altar to perform the Dharma, the Qi of heaven and earth will be mobilized. Except for himself, outsiders who are around the altar will be rolled into pieces by the violent Qi machine if they are not careful." Jiang Ru glanced at the otter demon.
At first glance, I thought that these little guys were chubby and not too ugly once I got used to them.
"So that's it." Dahei nodded.
"From now on, don't call me mistress in front of outsiders." Jiang Rulin glared at Dahei. Although she was secretly happy to be called that, she still shouldn't be too explicit about it.
"I remember, Master!" Dahei chuckled and ran away quickly.
Jiang Ru almost planned to kick him, but Lu Wangji came over with Qin in his arms and said, "Everyone has come out, I will be responsible for guarding the door."
Compared to Jiang Ru, who handles various mundane affairs, Lu Wangji is much more leisurely on weekdays. But Jiang Ru has no complaints. She knows very well that Lu Wangji has strong magic power, and in dangerous situations like fighting and fighting, only Lu Wangji can do it.
Joining forces with Zhao Shu to defend against the enemy, and cooperating flawlessly, is far beyond what I can do.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ru nodded and said, "I found that Zhao Shu is very familiar with the situation in Lingtai Ruins. I don't think you and I need to take care of him."
Lu Wangji said: "In addition to setting up the mandala these days, Zhao Shui also practices magic techniques when he has free time. He actually has some resonance with Lingtai Ruins."
"Zhao Miao has quite an adventure. Please don't spread the word about it, Taoist friends," Jiang Ru said.
"I understand." Lu Wangji said, "There is another thing. You should be careful about Chu Mengchun when you leave."
Jiang Ru asked: "What? Do you see that he has evil intentions?"
"I can't say for sure." Lu Wangji said: "When he came to visit yesterday, I felt that he was blessed by an external force, and the atmosphere around him was completely different from before. Such a drastic change was too bizarre, and it happened to be right now. I
I have to take more precautions.”
Jiang Ru quickly asked: "Have you told Zhao Shu about this?"
"I've already said it," Lu Wangji said, "but he doesn't seem to care much."
"Don't care too much?" Jiang Ru rolled her eyes, then smiled and said: "In that case, there is no need for us to meddle in other people's business."
…
Chu Mengchun stood in the torrent, letting his clothes get soaked. A waterfall hung in front of him like a curtain of water, flowing endlessly.
Chu Mengchun saw the talisman emerging from both palms. He pushed it outward and the waterfall suddenly split into two. A deep doorway suddenly appeared on the wet rock wall. He stepped forward with a gloomy face, passed through the long secret passage, and finally caught a glimpse of the secret door.
bright.
Beyond the secret passage is the Lingtai Ruins, which is full of exotic flowers and grasses. Chu Mengchun looked at a high platform on the top of a hill in the distance, and could vaguely see the brilliance of seals and talismans flying around. It should be Zhao Shui who was performing Dharma on the altar.
"Zhao Shu, today is the day you die!" Chu Mengchun roared in his heart. He felt that the energy in his veins was rushing endlessly, and his ears were filled with the sound of qi and blood.
Chu Mengchun took out a chi-button jade seal, used his magic power silently for a moment, and then suddenly lowered it toward the ground.
The jade seal is exquisite and small enough to be held in the palm of the hand and played with. However, the moment it touches the ground, a surge spreads in all directions, and the energy of heaven and earth that was originally gathering towards the high altar suddenly stagnated.
At this time, nine majestic palace gates suddenly appeared in the sky, standing above the clouds and arranged in a ring. The brilliance of the palace gates loomed, gradually condensing into nine-colored sharp edges, and they were aimed at the high altar.
Chu Mengchun tried his best to activate the formation. He felt as if he was buried deep in the cracks of the ground, suffering a squeeze that could break his body into pieces. Even though his body was blessed by God's power, his muscles and bones were still trembling at this moment. Blood seeped out from the corners of his eyes, and the meridians on his eyebrows and forehead were trembling.
It breaks out violently and is about to burst.
Chu Mengchun, who was demoted to Lingtai Ruins, had known for a long time that there was a remaining mountain-protecting formation here. Unfortunately, Chongxuan Pavilion did not send many people to repair the formation. Although Chu Mengchun planned to rectify it, he also spent some time studying it.
, but he found that the mountain-protecting formation was intertwined with the entire Lingtai Ruins blessed land, and it was far from being able to restore it to its original state by himself.
After a few months, Chu Mengchun's patience was worn out, and with no one to supervise him, he chose to leave Lingtai Ruins and go to a nearby market town to become an outsider and amass money.
Fortunately, Chu Mengchun accidentally obtained an ancient mirror one day and was able to communicate with an ancient god. The other god not only taught him profound techniques, but also taught him how to seduce the ignorant people in the countryside and make them willingly give up gold, silver and silk.
Even wealthy families nearby would send their children to curry favor with him.
Although this kind of life is much harder than that of a county guard, it is still barely acceptable. In addition, there is no lack of mushrooms and trees in Lingtai Ruins that can help with cultivation. Even though Chu Mengchun was demoted here, he has to go to Chongxuan Pavilion every month.
Turn over the spiritual plant, but he can also find a way to get a share of it.
It can be said that today's Chu Mengchun is no longer what he used to be. In addition, the mountain guarding formation can still operate. As long as he can activate some of its power, he is confident that even the current master who has formed a fetal immortal will not be his opponent!
Getting rid of distracting thoughts, Chu Mengchun pushed his true energy to the limit. The nine palace gates in the sky were like a woman giving birth, and nine colored sharp edges were born with difficulty, causing the entire Lingtai Ruins to shake and the grass and trees to shake.
"Death!"
Chu Mengchun shouted loudly, his expression was crazy, and all nine colored sharp points flew out, shooting towards the high altar.
When the nine swords attack together, the sound is like a falling from the sky, and its power is enough to destroy the mountains!
A loud sound like a bell was heard in the distance, the high altar was directly wiped out by the overwhelming power, and the nine-colored glow in the distance flashed and flickered, as if to tell the unwillingness of defeat.
"Hahahaha——Zhao Shu! How do you feel? Back then, Xuanpu Hall used this method to enlighten the Nine Gate Formation and kill countless mountain-attacking monsters until they were bloody. How could you resist such divine power alone?!"
When Chu Mengchun saw that the high altar had collapsed, he looked up to the sky and laughed, extremely happy.
"The nine doors of enlightenment are a metaphor for the nine orifices of the human body that are cleansed of the filthy atmosphere and illuminated by themselves."
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the surrounding heaven and earth: "Full of vitality, Qi flowing through hundreds of meridians, a heart of elixir refined, naturally nine orifices dazzling, how can it be explained by a mere killing power?"
"You--Zhao Mi?!" Chu Mengchun immediately heard Zhao Mi's voice. He was shocked and looked around, but there was no sign of Zhao Mi. He was frightened and angry. He immediately used his magic power and raised the chi button jade seal high.
A strange dragon species with no horns on its head and a long double tail appeared!
"Chi dragon?" Zhao Mi still saw no one, and his voice came with the wind: "Legend has it that there was a chi dragon lurking deep in the Fei Mountain. Chongxuan Hall moved here and built a dojo, which disturbed the chi dragon.
A fierce fight broke out between the two sides."
"Stop hiding your head and shrinking your tail, get out of here!" Chu Mengchun swept his fingers together, and the chilong that was guarding him opened its mouth wide and spat water everywhere.
"Why be anxious?" Zhao Mian's tone was calm and calm: "The person who killed Chilong back then was not the Imperial Master who would become famous in the future, but Chu Jieyu of the Chu family in Yi'an. In terms of seniority and age, this Chu Jieyu
Senior Yu is similar to the Imperial Master. In the early years, they, together with Wang Zongran and Zheng Yulou, were known as the Four Chongxuan Masters. They were all chosen at the moment and the most outstanding talents in the world.
After Chilong was beheaded, his flesh and blood disappeared, and the scales, muscles, bones and other spiritual materials were made into various magic weapons. If I guessed correctly, the jade seal in your hand is the remnant of Chilong.
The soul can exert the magical effect of the Chilong's magic of spraying water and swallowing fire in front of him.
Chongxuan Pavilion is not famous for refining magic weapons. I would like to ask for advice on how Senior Chu Jieyu can capture the remnants of souls and use them as magic weapons. Unfortunately, Senior Chu Jieyu died in the Five Kingdoms War, and now the Chu family
Lord, it seems that Chu Fenggui, who was serving in the court at that time, was his brother, right?"
"Are you done?!" Chu Mengchun was extremely angry and angry. What bothered him most was that others had removed the elders of the Chu family and made many accusations and criticisms against him. It seemed that he must be incompetent if he was not as good as his predecessors. It seemed that he had been
All hard work and diligence are in vain.
"I don't understand, even if you hate me, blame me, and even destroy your own immortal cultivation foundation, you still want to try to kill me." Zhao Shu's figure suddenly appeared from mid-air and slowly fell down: "But you killed me
