"Zhao, Zhao Miao?!" Qian Shaobai was so frightened that his voice changed. He sensed that the person in front of him was so vast and unpredictable that he couldn't breathe.
Zhao Miao saw Qian Shaobai so frightened and uneasy, and thought to himself that if he had been sleeping for ten years, he would not become so terrifying, right?
With a slight thought in his mind, Zhao Shu held up the Great Ming Treasure Mirror and looked at it. Qian Shaobai's soul energy was immediately controlled, and he fell stiffly. This method of capturing souls is much better than the Qi Forbidden Technique, and it is also the result of the Great Ming Treasure Mirror.
One of the wonderful uses.
Zhao Shu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows gently, concentrating on sensing the Yunzhuan talisman diagram in his mind. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and the cave room he was originally in suddenly turned into a high cliff of blue rock.
Looking around, one can see a vast expanse of rolling hills, among which there are lush ancient pines, gurgling rock springs, and vaguely visible pavilions, pavilions, cornices and green tiles. However, the buildings are empty after people leave, leaving the place feeling lonely and desolate.
"This is..." Before Zhao Shui could react, the Lingxiao appeared extremely rarely, flying in the air, and said: "This is Qingya Wonderland, Liang Tao has passed on the true talisman made by Dongtian to you."
Zhao Shu was startled, and then asked: "But why did I suddenly come to Qingya Fairyland? I have not yet achieved the immortal way, and it is impossible to ascend to the cave."
"Your physical body is still in the same place. At this moment, it is just taken by the soul. It comes naturally when you think about it, and there is no way to go back and forth." Lingxiao said: "The mortal body is muddy and cannot enter the cave. But if the cultivators can inherit the Dharma lineage,
, and if the soul is condensed enough, it will be able to leave the soul and enter the cave."
Zhao Shu gradually understood that when he first visited Tie Gong, his soul was taken away to the blessed land. Now that his soul can ascend to the cave, it means that he has indeed made great progress in cultivation and his soul is pure.
From ancient times to the present, there are many legends about monks who went to the cave in their dreams to pay homage to the ancestors of the immortal family. As a result, they received enlightenment from immortals and founded sects in the world. There are endless stories of them.
Zhao Shu originally thought that most of these legends were whitewashed by later generations, but when he experienced it himself, he understood that what his predecessors said may not be entirely false.
"Liang Tao..." When Zhao Shu came to Qingya Fairyland, he didn't feel much joy from the fairy fate, but his heart felt empty and lost.
"He asked me to take care of you." Lingxiao said in a cold tone: "Liang Tao knew that his energy was exhausted, so before he died, he entrusted you with the inheritance of True Lord Qingya and Chongxuan Pavilion."
"What about the other people in Chongxuan Hall?" Zhao Shu asked.
"After you were unconscious, it was difficult for me to detect the external situation. I could only sense Liang Tao's words of entrustment." Lingxiao said, "Since you are sleeping in the coffin, you should have been taken away from Difei Mountain alone. Considering Liang Tao's words,
Scheming, if you want to protect your disciples, you must have made preparations in advance."
"That's right." Zhao Shu sighed and looked at the Qingya Wonderland. There were no generals here, the scenery was lonely, and the laws of the cave seemed to be somewhat incomplete. Zhao Shu could sense that the entire cave was just barely maintaining its status quo to avoid collapse.
"Liang Tao first created the Cave Heaven, and his cultivation level should be similar to yours. At least, he could only feel it after the Xuan Pearl rose into the Niwan." Lingxiao said: "Now that you keep the fetal breath in your body, you can breathe into the Cave Heaven.
With clear Qi, the refining and metamorphosis progress rapidly."
Back then, Zhao Shui had seen Liang Tao breathing in the fresh air from the cave sky, causing the sky to shine down, and the atmosphere to be extraordinary. He had longed for it, but he did not expect that he would have such an immortal fate now.
"The fresh air in the cave..." Zhao Shu saw the floating spirit flute beside him and asked, "I remember you said that you wanted to return to the True Yuan Jade Mansion to rebuild your true body. The Qingya Fairyland is also the cave of the Immortal Family.
, is it useful to you?”
"That's someone else's cave. The foundation of the law is not in line with mine." Lingxiao didn't mean to be greedy at all: "Besides, things used by others are often contaminated and not what I like."
Zhao Miao knew that Lingxiao was very clean. Even for him, the cave heaven and fairyland, which was full of pure and pure energy, seemed to Lingxiao to have been tainted by Liang Tao's Taoist state of mind and was no longer pure.
"It's a pity that the thousands of true saints in the cave sky no longer exist, and there is no way to summon and drive them." Zhao Shu felt helpless, and Liang Tao failed to ascend to the altar.
The form also disappeared, and it was as if he had taken over an uninhabited mansion. It seemed magnificent, but there was not even a doorkeeper.
Without thinking much, Zhao Shu returned to his seat and re-examined the current situation. He first carefully observed the iron coffin and found that there was a jade box inside the coffin. When he opened it, he found a divine elixir with purple energy and golden light flowing around it.
"Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill?" Zhao Shui immediately recognized this pill. The Dongtian Zhenzhen Talisman passed to him by Liang Tao contained various essences inherited from Qingya Zhenjun's dharma lineage, including various external elixir baits and refining.
The method of making.
The Nine Cauldron Divine Pill can be said to be the highest achievement of Qingya Zhenjun's lineage of external elixir refining. This elixir cannot be taken by ordinary people. It is necessary to use the power of condensing the mysterious beads to refine the divine elixir and make it like another mysterious bead.
Hidden in the sea of Guan Yuanqi.
If you encounter a murderous disaster that damages the foundation of your cultivation, as long as you don't die on the spot, the divine elixir hidden in the sea of qi will take effect, restoring your cultivation and mana to normal, and you can continue to regenerate even if your limbs are missing.
In addition to protecting the foundation of cultivation and reshaping the physical body, the Nine Cauldron Divine Pill is also of great help to the formation of the Fetus Immortal and the refining of the body.
The formation of the Fetus Immortal is not something that can be achieved through ordinary cultivation and hard work. The physical body must be re-germinated from the inside out, just like a woman's pregnancy, which lasts for ten months.
During this process, the monk's body is transformed into mortal matter, and his spirit, soul, and body are completely condensed and unified, forming a fetal immortal. Although he is still entrusted in his body, he is now a half-immortal. He breathes clean air and is naturally light.
Riding the wind and riding the clouds is like walking on foot.
Condensing the Fetus Immortal is much more difficult than condensing the Mysterious Beads. Even if there is the Nine Cauldron Divine Pill, it is only an aid. It really depends on how well the monk understands the essence of tranquility.
These were not all realized by Zhao Shu on his own, most of them were the guidance given by Liang Tao to the General Zhenfu. Zhao Shui naturally thought of it as soon as his mind moved, like a long-buried memory.
Closing the jade box, Zhao Shu took out the True Essence Lock from his arms and asked Lingxiao: "I saw that Liang Tao once used the True Essence Lock to capture foreign objects. How did he do it?"
"Liang Tao has an insight into the magical effects from the realm of the Immortal Family. You can't learn it." Lingxiao said: "Yunmingtang's jade mirror shines red, and you can pay attention to the six-in-one and eight-pointed talismans in the empty book, and you can interact with the True Essence Lock."
Zhao Shu immediately followed the instructions, and a six-sided and eight-sided square talisman followed his gaze and imprinted on the True Essence Lock, and then he sensed a vast and boundless void.
Different from the moment when the soul entered the Qingya Wonderland, a void spreads out at this moment, and nothing can be seen with the naked eye. The void is not up and down in all directions, and cannot be grasped. There is only pure induction, which is more ethereal than the ghost.
This kind of feeling is indescribable. Zhao Shu cannot imagine that Lingxiao has been staying in this void for thousands of years. Facing the void with nothing for such a long time, Zhao Shu would have gone crazy long ago.
"If you can be truly peaceful, you will be able to live in peace and quiet for thousands of years. There is no need to dwell on the water in front of you." Lingxiao said: "Mortal people have shallow vision, mostly because their life span is too short. Not to mention you, even Zhang Duanjing, Liang Tao and others, they
The years I have experienced are only about a hundred years, and even though my cultivation is impressive for a while, it is ultimately shallow. All kinds of delusions and obsessions are generally caused by this."
Zhao Shu remained silent and raised his hand to send it away. The jade box containing the Jiuding Divine Pill was put into the Zhenyuan Lock. After thinking for a moment, he took the Zichen Xuanwei Sword and the Great Ming Mirror away together.
At this time, he looked inside the cave and saw many cabinets carved out of the surrounding walls. Zhao Shu stepped forward to check and found that most of the elixirs were familiar. They were basically elixirs and pills that were common in Huaiying Hall in the past. They were used to replenish qi and heal the inside and outside.
Injuries, and some slightly treated, unrefined herbs.
Zhao Shu was even more surprised by those scrolls and classics. Most of them were ritual books written by the officials of praise, and the rest were some spells and techniques. Some of the names Zhao Shu had seen in the library of Huaiying Hall.
.
"This place must have been chosen by the teacher." Zhao Shu said: "Although the accumulation here is not as good as the Huaiying Pavilion, it is barely enough to ensure the continuity of the inheritance. The teacher may have expected that the chaos is coming, and the inheritance of the Huaiying Pavilion may be difficult.
Continuation, so most of the books are placed here."
However, questions arise. Zhang Duanjing perished physically and mentally in order to kill the Immortal Family. How did Zhao Shu come here? As for what changes have taken place in Huaxu Kingdom in the past ten years, these are all things Zhao Shu urgently needs.
Want to know.
He turned to look at Qian Shaobai who was lying on the ground. Although Zhao Shu had no good impression of Shang Jingzong, it was not convenient to find anyone else at the moment, so he lifted some of the restrictions, allowing Qian Shaobai to move and speak.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, long time no see." As soon as Zhao Shu squatted down, he saw Qian Shaobai rolling and crawling back, as if he was seeing a man-eating monster, terrified.
"Isn't it like that?" Zhao Shu asked: "I am a living person, not a ghost or a living corpse. Even if it is really a ghost, Taoist friend Qian shouldn't be afraid based on his ability."
Qian Shaobai asked with a trembling mouth: "You, didn't you die in Difei Mountain?"
"I was lucky enough to escape with my life." Zhao Shu did not elaborate, but asked: "Why did fellow Taoist Qian appear here? I see you are disguised, could you be spying on the military again?"
"Absolutely." Qian Shaobai said like he was pouring beans: "The Twelve Villages of Shiliang intend to separate one side. I was ordered to assist the government and army in suppressing the bandits, so I came to spy first."
Zhao Shu asked: "Separatist regime? Could it be that this place is within the territory of Youxiong Country?"
Seeing Qian Shaobai nodding with cold sweat on his face, Zhao Shu probably understood that the teacher wanted him to stay away from Huaxu Kingdom.
"With the strong soldiers and horses of the Xiong Kingdom, even if there are bandits and bandits who cause chaos and plunder the counties, they will not separate themselves into one side, right?" Zhao Shu took the opportunity to inquire about the current situation: "As for the Huaxu Kingdom, it is understandable for the Shangjing Sect to send Taoist Qian to spy on the military situation, but once
Do the thieves and bandits who want to dominate the mountain also need Fellow Daoist Qian to take risks personally?"
"You, you don't know?" Qian Shaobai had a strange expression on his face and said frantically: "Just because you and Liang Tao made trouble, the entire Kunlun Continent suffered continuous disasters. There were great floods in the Zujiang River four times in ten years, and the land of thousands of miles was wiped out.
Chengze Kingdom! There are millions of dead people, bandits and refugees everywhere, how can I stay out of it?!"
Zhao Miao was startled. Although Zhang Duanjing succeeded in killing the immortals, the Canghua Heavenly Lord and the Thousand True Saints of the Cave Heaven collapsed and perished. A huge amount of pure energy poured into the earth's veins, and the pure and turbid energy mixed together, turning into three disasters that came to the world.
At that time, Zhao Shui already understood that because of the interconnectedness of the Eastern Land, the disaster would definitely affect the entire Huaxu Kingdom. But now it seems that the disaster is out of control and has spread directly to the entire Kunlun Continent, causing endless troubles.
.
The Xiong Kingdom has always been the most powerful among the five countries in Kunlun Continent. Even they suffered frequent disasters and great losses in national power, so much so that thieves and bandits dared to separate themselves from one side. This shows how bad the disasters were.
Zhao Shu felt deep regret. Even though he had come out of the initial confusion and understood that all these disasters were not his responsibility, he knew very well that some things had something to do with him after all.
What's more, after listening to what Qian Shaobai said, everyone seemed to be sure that he and Liang Tao caused this monstrous disaster, and they were not allowed to defend themselves.
Millions of people were killed, and any excuse is feeble. Even if Liang Tao comes back from the dead, there may not be much he can do in the face of such violent public sentiment.
"Now that Fellow Daoist Qian has seen me, what are your next plans?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Plan?" Qian Shaobai calmed down a little now. He found that Zhao Shu did not attack him immediately, and said cautiously: "The most urgent thing is to leave here first."
Zhao Shu looked outside the door of the cave: "Is Bailong Village outside? Is the leader Hong Shangwu the bandit leader?"
"Yes, he has inherited the immortal martial arts from Chongxu Mountain and has advanced cultivation." Qian Shaobai found it funny just after he finished speaking. It was clear that Hong Shangwu had been defeated. If Zhao Shu really wanted to force his way out, Bailong Village would not be able to keep him.
.
"Chongxu Mountain? I remember that this sect was destroyed by the Jishi Sect in the early years." Zhao Shu looked at Qian Shaobai with a profound expression on his face: "And the Jishi Sect was severely damaged by your Shangjing Sect. We really need to take a closer look. Qian Shaobai
Fellow Taoist, you can rely on this fate to make Hong Shangwu surrender."
"Hong Shangwu should only have obtained the secrets, and cannot be regarded as a disciple of Chongxushan." Qian Shaobai said: "Moreover, he gathered bandits to cause chaos. I assisted the court in suppressing bandits. How can I tolerate him privately?"
"But you are alone now, and your cultivation level..." Zhao Shu looked carefully, and he probably saw that Qian Shaobai was at the critical moment when the Xuanzhu was promoted to Niwan. Compared with Hong Shangwu and himself, he was indeed
Not as good as.
Qian Shaobai also knew his situation. Hong Shangwu might stay outside Longtan. If he left alone, he might kill someone.
Hong Shangwu threw Qian Shaobai to Zhao Shu, presumably because he thought that "Xu Huaiyu" would not let the outsiders break into the cave.
But if Qian Shaobai was sent to help suppress bandits, he would not be the kind of person who would be at a loss when encountering a crisis. Even if he was frightened and panicked by Zhao Shu, he still began to think about ways to escape and deal with it.
Just thinking about it, the best way is to let Zhao Shu deal with Hong Shangwu. In this way, Qian Shaobai will not only have the opportunity to escape, but he may also take the opportunity to kill Hong Shangwu and plunge the Twelve Villages of Shiliang into chaos.
, which is very beneficial to the subsequent suppression of bandits.
"Do you want me to take action against Hong Shangwu?" Zhao Shu seemed to have read Qian Shaobai's thoughts.
"This, this..." Qian Shaobai felt that he couldn't hide any secrets in front of Zhao Mian.
"We can't be trapped here." Now that he has stepped out of the iron coffin and can no longer plunge into the fantasy world to numb his mind, Zhao Shu can only cheer up and face the current situation.
Moreover, ten years have passed, and Zhao Shu is eager to know the current situation in the outside world. He has too much confusion and confusion to allow himself to continue to indulge in waste.
