The vast mist fills the world, and you can't see the sky above or the sea below. If you stay here for a long time, you will even have the illusion of being upside down. Even if you can soar into the sky, you will lose your way, fly around, and eventually fall into the whirlpool and waves.
In the sea, he was smashed into pieces among the reefs.
"So it's the Lost Sky Fu Zang Formation?" Zhao Shu walked in vain, used the Yingxuan Scenery Technique to look around, and said: "As expected of Liang Tao, the Mysterious Tracking Formation used to protect the cave door, combined with the sea and sky wind and cloud
, can actually turn into a fog covering hundreds of miles in radius. Even if the dragon's genus wants to forcefully break through, I'm afraid they will encounter many obstacles."
After defeating the cultivators in the East China Sea and the Yuanji Masters, Zhao Shui had the urge to go to the East China Sea. The main purpose was to find Qingtong Island where the disciples of the Chongxuan Hall were hiding from the world.
According to the chart provided by Duan Zhao, I passed through the violent storm that lingered outside, and hit the fog barrier covering Qingtong Island. I found that I could not get through the fog while flying straight, and I immediately understood that I was trapped in a maze.
In the past, Liang Tao conquered the East China Sea. On the surface, he was trading with various sects and water houses in the sea market, but in fact, he blocked the independent exchanges between the East China Sea sects and the Huaxu Kingdom, leaving the Huaxu Kingdom lack of external support for the court.
Although Canghua Tianjun only appeared at the last moment of the battle at Difei Mountain, the secret arrangement between him and Liang Tao started very early.
Hongxueke, the swordsman of the East China Sea, was favored by Canghua Tianjun. In addition to asking him to use his sword at the necessary moment, he successively defeated Xuanju and Liang Tao. For a long time in the past, he must have also used it to contain Liang Tao, so that he had to
Distracted above the East China Sea.
What Liang Tao was thinking during his lifetime is now unknown to Zhao Shu. He only knows that he created a worldly paradise and an overseas fairyland on Qingtong Island in the East China Sea.
After Liang Tao's death, the disciples of Chongxuan Hall who fled Huaxu Kingdom went to Qingtong Island and completely disappeared from the eyes of the world.
Because the island is covered by storms and fog, it is difficult for outsiders to enter without their own methods. Therefore, various families in the East China Sea do not know that the disciples of Chongxuan Hall are in Qingtong Island.
The fog was thick, and Zhao Shu changed directions several times, but still could not find the entrance and exit door. He could only lament that Liang Tao was well prepared. If he had been willing to give up his fate, he might not have been able to become a highly respected immortal master in the East China Sea.
It's a pity that Liang Tao is not this kind of person, just like Zhao Shu could not resolutely abandon the world and retreat into the mountains and forests to pursue pure cultivation.
Unable to break through the maze, Zhao Shu didn't bother to think too much, so he directly used the Great Ming Mirror to attract the mighty fresh air of Qingya Wonderland and activate the great magic power.
In an instant, the precious mirror was like the scorching sun, blooming with dazzling light and piercing the fog, and immediately turned into a rays of light avenue. If there is a reaction, it will spread out and go straight to the other side.
Without thinking, Zhao Shu followed the light and passed through the thick fog in his breath. A vast sea appeared in front of him, with large and small islands inlaid on the sea like bluestone and jade. The sun shone in the sky, and there were no clouds to cover it.
"Who is trespassing on Qingtong Island?"
At this time, I heard several shouts, and from an island in the distance, several points of light came directly into the sky.
Zhao Shu rolled up his sleeves, and the three magic weapons were fixed in mid-air. Before he could speak, he saw a figure approaching rapidly in the wind and clouds.
"Stop!" The visitor shouted loudly, describing the beauty, and it was Jiang Ru. The moment she saw Zhao Mi, she first flew closer, but then stopped in disbelief.
"Are you...are you really Zhao Mian?" As soon as Jiang Rugu asked this question, tears filled her vision.
"It's me, long time no see." Zhao Shu nodded and replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Ru wanted to throw herself into Zhao Shu's arms, but seeing that his expression and demeanor were very different from before, and even more unpredictable than Liang Tao, she did not dare to step forward.
Quickly wiping away her tears, Jiang Ru regained her composure and said quickly: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are here. Why do you know we are in Qingtongzhou?"
"You left the news to the Third Elder Chiyun, so I learned about it." Zhao Shuyan said: "Actually, I knew about it a few years ago, but the situation was unclear at the time, so I didn't come to you immediately."
"I understand." Jiang Ru suppressed her inner excitement and quickly brought Zhao Shu to the island below. On the large island surrounded by small islands, there was a field of houses and fields, like a country village, Chongxuan Pavilion
When the disciples learned that Zhao Shu had arrived, they came to see him one after another, as long as they were not in seclusion for cultivation.
After more than ten years of Qingxiu practice away from people, Zhao Shui found that the words, deeds, and temperament of these Chongxuan Hall disciples were completely new. They no longer looked like the descendants of aristocratic families with rich clothes and jade ornaments, but were described as simple, and many of them had slightly dark skin tones.
, apparently because of being exposed to intense sunlight all year round on the island.
Zhao Shu could sense that these Chongxuan Hall disciples worked a lot on a daily basis without having to conduct detailed inspections. After all, there were only a few people who could live without grains for many years. If they wanted to survive on overseas islands, they had to rely on their own efforts and could not tolerate a trace of arrogance.
"good very good."
Looking around at the Chongxuan Hall disciples present, the thing that Zhao Shui was most worried about was solved by them themselves.
Jiang Ru took Zhao Shu to his garden and served tea as if he were an elder. Zhao Shu took a look at it and asked, "Are there tea trees planted on the island?"
"No, it's a fragrant wood forest in the north of the island. New buds sprout every year and are fragrant. We just collect them for tea." Jiang Ru replied.
"This is how tea comes." Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Seeing as you still have tea to drink, do you think you can live a peaceful life on the island?"
Jiang Ru shook her head and smiled bitterly: "After we came to Qingtong Island, the first few years were not easy. Although this cave was the first to be opened back then, and many restrictive formations were set up around it, the layout of the island was very lacking. Everyone.
We can only build them from scratch. Almost all the houses and fields you see have been built by us over the years."
"You can see it." Zhao Shu raised his head and glanced around. This thatched house was simple and simple, with walls built of rammed earth and no bricks or stones. However, Zhao Shu felt that the walls seemed to have experienced real fire. He knew at a glance that this was a
Use the Waidan method of heating to make the rammed earth walls hard and stable.
Jiang Ru's group of Chongxuan Hall disciples are monks with magical powers no matter what. It is not a problem to settle down on overseas islands. Even if Zhao Shu doesn't come, they are self-sufficient here and Yuanchen Qingxiu will probably not be able to do so again.
There won't be any problem after dozens or hundreds of years.
"You have changed a lot," Zhao Shuyan said.
"Really?" Jiang Ru thought about it for a moment and said in a relieved tone: "Maybe it's because I had too little experience in the past, and I was used to the rich life of being supported by others. I never worked hard myself, and I don't know how hard it is to get food and drink. Compared to the past, which I just pursued blindly.
In terms of cultivating my magic power, I feel that my time in Qingtongzhou has been much more fulfilling."
"I feel relieved if you can realize this." Zhao Shu nodded in praise.
Jiang Ru heard the hidden meaning of Zhao Shu's words and asked: "Your coming to Qingtongzhou, does it mean that the situation outside has changed?"
"That's right." Zhao Shu briefly stated his past experiences and the current situation in Huaxu Kingdom and Chiyun City.
Jiang Ru listened quietly and sighed: "I didn't expect you to do so many great things after you came out of seclusion... You just came to tell me now, don't you want to get us involved?"
"Since Liang Tao arranged for you to come to Qingtongzhou before his death, he must have hoped that you would stay away from disputes." Zhao Shu looked out the window. It was almost dusk, and several young monks were picking flowers and fruits and preparing candied fruits. It was a pastoral and leisurely scene.
The warm evening breeze blows on the face, making people intoxicated and forgetting about the world of mortals.
"What about you?" Jiang Ru asked softly: "When I watched you being put into the coffin and taken away, I should have hoped that you could stay away from the world."
Zhao Shu turned his head and looked back: "If that were the case, Liang Tao would not have passed on the Qingya Fairyland and the three magic weapons to me. He has seen through me long ago and knows that I am not the kind of person who lives in the mountains and forests and escapes overseas.
people."
"You came to Qingtongzhou because you want us to help?" Jiang Ru's eyes were eager.
"No need, I am now joining forces with the Xiong Kingdom to help them unify Kunlun." Zhao Shu said: "I am here to make you feel at ease, and by the way, I will give you the Immortal Dharma Scriptures from Chongxuan Pavilion."
Zhao Mo gently touched the Qiankun button, and three large boxes of scriptures and volumes appeared out of thin air. He heard him say: "You left Difei Mountain in a hurry, and after a fierce battle, almost all the scriptures collected in the Chongxuan Hall were destroyed. Now I am the chief editor.
Dongtian, I have copied all the inheritance created by True Lord Qingya into a book and now entrust it to you."
Jiang Ru was greatly surprised, glanced briefly, and then sighed: "Despite this, Chongxuan Hall no longer exists. The world can resolve the misunderstanding and accept you again, but it cannot tolerate the return of Chongxuan Hall.
"
"Inheritance will not be changed because of false names." Zhao Shu looked out the window again: "Qingtongzhou, a good name. Oriental wood virtues match the green color, and children are the symbol of budding vitality."
Jiang Ru realized something: "Do you want us to use Qingtongzhou as our sect's dojo in the future?"
"If you are determined to reopen the sect's inheritance, you can do so." Zhao Shu smiled and said, "And you happen to be the founder of the sect."
"Why not you?" Jiang Ru asked.
"First of all, I have other things to be busy with, and I have no time to stay in the East China Sea for a long time." Zhao Shu explained: "Secondly, you have led the disciples of Chongxuan Hall to settle down in Qingtongzhou for more than ten years. You are already a master.
Sir, it’s not my turn to come and interfere in the process.”
"Don't you see that they are all looking forward to your return?" Jiang Ru looked at the Chongxuan Hall disciples in the field in the distance.
"What they are looking for is not me, but another Liang Tao." Zhao Shu said clearly: "You can't stay in Qingtongzhou forever. I show up now because the sects and water houses in the East China Sea have suffered heavy losses recently.
, it will be difficult to recover for many years to come. It will not be a surprise for you to appear in this world at this moment."
Jiang Ru asked: "If you tell me this, do you plan to let us rectify all the families in the East China Sea?"
"No, I just hope that you can learn to interact with the world again." Zhao Shu said: "As for the other things, I will not force you. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it is all up to you."
Jiang Ru looked at Zhao Shu with soft eyes: "Are you making funeral arrangements again?"
"Do you think I'm going to do something stupid again?" Zhao Shu asked.
"I'm very worried about you." Jiang Ru no longer concealed it: "I hope you won't care about those things anymore and just stay in Donghai to cultivate. If you don't want to be disturbed by other people, I will stay away from you.
Let those people fight for it."
When Zhao Shu heard this, he suddenly laughed.
"What's so funny?" Jiang Ru was puzzled.
"Not long ago, I just defeated a pair of Taoist monks. They were from the East China Sea. They came to fight with me because they were asked by the younger generation." Zhao Shu sighed: "I held back and did not take their lives, but I am worried about my future
No such luck."
As for the Emperor of Heaven, Zhao Shui is destined to face more opponents in the future, whether they want to ascend the throne by themselves, intend to defeat other contenders, the Immortal Family who do not want the Heaven to be fully opened, or the evil gods from outside who are eyeing the throne.
.Zhao Shu embarks on this road, destined to face many difficulties, and a slight mistake could lead to his death.
"If something difficult happens, you don't have to bear it alone." Jiang Ru said.
"If you can take good care of yourselves in the East China Sea, you will bear the trouble for me." Zhao Shu's words are not an excuse. Today's Chongxuan Hall is not what it used to be. Without an expert like Liang Tao sitting in charge, if it really gets involved in a big chaos,
I'm afraid it will overturn in the blink of an eye.
Since Zhao Shu had obtained the inheritance from True Lord Qingya and Liang Tao, he naturally did not want Jiang Ru and others to fall into unpredictable chaos.
"Since you said that, I won't force it." Jiang Ru felt a faint pain in her heart. In fact, she was somewhat selfish and hoped that Zhao Shu could stay by her side.
But when they met today, Jiang Ru found that not only had Zhao Shu's cultivation level improved greatly, but he also seemed a little unkind and became even more alienated.
In the next few days, Zhao Shui stayed in Qingtongzhou to teach the immortal method and pointed out the confusions in cultivation to everyone. With his current level of cultivation and his understanding of the immortal method of Chongxuan Pavilion, he could enlighten everyone greatly.
And Zhao Shui also vaguely discovered that even if these Chongxuan Hall disciples have improved their cultivation, the Immortal Scriptures and Techniques they have mastered in the past are not complete. If things go on like this, the inheritance of Chongxuan Hall will gradually become incomplete. If there is another accident,
There is a risk of being cut off.
This situation is the reason why the inheritance of many sects has withered and been cut off since the end of Tianxia. Even if they are invaded by evil spirits and the enemies take revenge, there will always be disciples who are lucky enough to escape.
However, if the scriptures of the Dharma and Secrets were destroyed and lost, and there was a lack of guidance and teaching from the elders, it would be difficult for the younger disciples to rely solely on blind practice and practice, and it would be difficult to rediscover the original Dharma and Secrets.
The various sects of Taoism and Taoism today have been inherited step by step over thousands of years. They have accumulated creations, additions and improvements bit by bit. They can no longer be created by just three or two amazingly talented people.
Even Zhao Shu needed the guidance of many experts from the Immortal family to achieve his current achievements of holding multiple inheritances. This was by no means achieved out of thin air.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu had a vague understanding. In terms of cultivation level, he was far inferior to the immortals in heaven who had long sought to prove immortality, so why did they still take a fancy to him?
The vision of the ancient immortal family is certainly lofty and outstanding, but for mortal monks like Zhao Shu, standing in the present generation where the inheritance of the immortal family has been greatly completed, what they have realized and understood may not be the same as that of the ancient immortal family.
The establishment of the Heavenly Court must have lasted for thousands of years, but the throne of the Heavenly Emperor has been empty for a long time. Is it because no one can ascend it, or is it because of the lack of time accumulation?
To know beforehand is indeed profound; to be a saint after the passing of time may be even more mysterious. This chapter has been completed!
