It kept spraying clouds and mist, not only was it slow, but Chang Long also felt a little uncomfortable. After flying for a long time, he transformed into a crane and carried the master and apprentice north.
Probably because there is a difference between flying in the clouds and driving in the fog.
Teng Yun requires high-level magic power, and generally cloud light is very fast, and the speed of a good Teng Yun technique is still higher than Five Elements Escape Light.
It often travels tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of miles at a time, so the Tengyun method is generally the patent of the top powers.
On the contrary, the method of riding the fog not only flies low, but also flies extremely slowly, and consumes more mana.
Riding on the fog and riding on the wind are generally achieved by untrained people and wild monsters who don't know how to escape.
Although the transformed white crane is a mortal object that has finally been transformed into magic, its speed is not very fast.
But fortunately, it has a wide wingspan, has the aura of ten generals to control it, does not need to control, is tireless, and is naturally good at flying.
Now it has become the first choice for Master Liu Qiao and his disciples to travel home, kill people, set fires, and escape.
"Master, we have already gone thousands of miles north, and if we go further we will reach the North Sea!" Chang Long reminded.
The North Sea is an endless swamp, in which there are many evil dragons, poisonous dragons, various obstacles and poisonous swamps.
It is very dangerous for Qi practitioners with low Taoist skills. Immortals with strong Taoist skills also hate poison barriers and are unwilling to go there. Over time, it has become a place where many demons and evil spirits seek refuge.
Therefore, Beihai is also known as a place where immortals and gods cannot enter. It is basically impossible for True Monarch Daode to set up his cave in such a smoky place.
Liu Qiao stopped making calculations and said with some distress: "However, Zhenjun Qingxu's Taoism is far better than mine. I can't predict his location even by using divination..."
The white crane flew thousands of miles a day, and now it has been walking north for several days. Along the way, it has encountered many high mountains, ridges, and strange peaks and valleys.
But either the demons are entrenched, or the heretical den is home.
Finally, I came across Sanxian Cave, which had a slightly fairy-like atmosphere. I wanted to ask for directions, but they were closed.
"After two days of walking due north, when we reach the edge of the North Sea, we will go east or west to look for it." Liu Qiao gritted his teeth and calculated.
For their master and disciple's current abilities, Beihai Demon Cave is really dangerous.
But Qingfeng Mountain is in the north. This is correct. I just don’t know whether it is in the northeast or northwest.
If you go in these directions and still can't find Qingfeng Mountain, it can only be said that this is fate.
Of course, if you think about it in a darker way, it does not rule out that True Monarch Daode did not miss his old feelings and knew that Liu Qiao was coming, so he used his magical power to hide in Ziyang Cave.
But no matter what the reason was, if Qingfeng Mountain could not be found again, Liu Qiao had no intention of looking for it again.
After all, there was not much time. Since Liu Qiao came out of the mountain, he had fought several fights in a row. The original two years of magic power could not make ends meet.
Now I only have less than a year of mana. No matter what, I must go to the East China Sea to find the spiritual root as soon as possible.
If it were later and there were changes, I might not even be able to perform the Five Elements Taoism.
While I was worried, I suddenly heard a faint sound of singing coming from ahead...
The clouds and clouds are thousands of miles away, and the mountains are still quiet. Every time I hear the roar of the dragon and the roar of the tiger, I wash away my worries and have little fame and fortune...
Wearing linen clothes and sandals, water and fire silk strips around the waist, hanging art fringes and wild grass.
Counting cranes and falcons makes me happy on the road, in ancient caves deep in the mountains, my mentor guides me to collect great medicines, and I sleep peacefully in the beautiful green hills, without honor, humiliation, or worries...
"Master, there is a weirdo singing on the rock in front!" Chang Long pointed to the front and said.
Liu Qiao had been listening carefully to the singing, and felt that it contained an ethereal and transcendent meaning. The person who could sing such Taoist sentiments was definitely an ordinary man, and must be a master of the immortal family.
After hearing this, he hurriedly looked ahead and saw a dry mountain about a hundred miles away under the clouds, full of strange rocks. On one side of the rock, there was indeed a Taoist man leaning on a chair.
He was born with a clear face, a bun with both hands in a bun, a long beard with five locks, and he was dressed in linen clothes and sandals, with silk strips of water and fire floating around, showing his immortal demeanor and pure spirit.
Just a closer look revealed that Liu Qiao had seen a lot of the world, and he was shocked. No wonder Chang Long said he was a "weirdo".
What a weird trick?
The two eye sockets were dark and without eyeballs, but they stretched out two delicate, white, baby-like hands.
At this time, Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao were looking over. The two small hands swaying in the wind were stretched out, and there was a vertical eye in each palm, emitting strange light from a hundred miles apart.
In an instant, a chill ran down Liu Qiao's spine, as if his whole body was being penetrated from head to toe by this strange eye.
Liu Qiao was surprised for only a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He remembered an immortal from his past life and felt very happy.
Busy on the crane, he waved and shouted: "Doctor Yang, the poor Taoist Liu Qiao is also a disciple of Yuxu. I hope you can stay a moment and wait for me to come down."
Chang Long looked at his master here and knew that he was meeting a fellow disciple again, so he very cleverly slapped the crane, and the two carrying him fell down on the cliff.
"The poor Taoist Liu Qiao, named Yushu, his mentor Jiang Shang, has met Brother Yang!" Liu Qiao bowed to the Taoist from a few feet away.
The Taoist also stood up in a hurry to avoid the salute, stepped forward to hold Liu Qiao's hands, and said tightly: "Brother Taoist, you are so polite. I am a disciple of Yang Ren, a disciple of Qingxu, a poor Taoist. His courtesy name is Yuan Ren, and his name is Jin Bian Taoist."
[Jiazi Taisui Yang Ren, courtesy name Yuan Ren, nicknamed General Jin Bian]
Liu Qiao didn't know why Yang Ren had such a strange name, but he couldn't ask in detail. He asked knowingly: "Brother Yuan Ren, you...how did you become like this..."
"Haha, it seems that Brother Yushu still remembers the friendship between us as ministers in the same palace back then!" Yang Ren said with a smile.
They both share the true teachings of Chan, but the difference in the way Yang Ren and Nezha treat people is simply so great that even Liu Qiao was a little flattered.
In fact, the two of them had known each other for a long time. Liu Qiao was the deputy supervisor at the time when he was in charge of Tiantai, and Yang Ren was the senior doctor at that time.
However, the status gap at that time was too big. Yang Ren was a senior official of the Three Officials and Nine Ministers, and Liu Qiao was a mere official. They only met a few times when they were in court, and their relationship was not deep.
But now they are all members of the Immortal Family, and they all feel quite sad that time has passed, and they all have their own futures, but they have embarked on the same path, the path of immortality.
Yang Ren pointed at a pair of strange hands on his face and explained with a smile: "It's your master and apprentice's fault..."
It turned out that Emperor Xin ordered Jiang Shang to build a deer platform, but Jiang Shang refused, so he "committed suicide by drowning himself in the river." Upon hearing the news, many loyal ministers and people with lofty ideals came forward to advise him.
Yang Ren was also one of them, and then...then his eyes were gouged out alive.
"However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. It is precisely because of this, with a little loyalty, that I was moved by my master Daode Zhenjun. I was rescued by my mentor and brought back to the mountain. After using two pills of golden elixir, I came back to life with a pair of strange eyes..."
Seeing two weird little hands dangling when he was talking, Liu Qiao resisted the urge to shake hands with those two little hands.
He praised: "The True Monarch of Morality is really powerful. I wonder what the beauty of this strange eye is?"
Yang Renqian smiled and said: "You can see the Nine Heavens from the top, and you can see the Nine Netherworlds from the bottom. There are no other magical powers."
After saying that, a pair of strange eyes opened and looked at Chang Long standing aside, making him tremble with fear.
Liu Qiao introduced: "This is my apprentice, Chang Long, named Yuande."
"Greetings, Uncle Master!" Chang Long hurriedly bowed his hands and said.
Yang Ren withdrew his Dharma Eyes, nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad. Although he is an alien, he is full of pure energy and is not stained with blood. If he practices well, he will become a Taoist and fruitful person sooner or later."
Then he said: "This is not a place to talk, and there is no tea to serve. Please follow me back to the mountains first."
After saying that, he pointed towards the ground, and a burst of smoke rose up, holding the three of them up, and they flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
When Liu Qiao saw it, he was slightly envious. This was the authentic soaring to the clouds technique, the kind that can travel thousands of miles.
Moreover, Teng Yun had at least a hundred years of magic power. Yang Ren was the only one to gain Taoism after him. Regardless of Taoist skills, this magic power alone was far superior to him.
Yang Ren has been an official for many years and is also a good observer. He smiled and said: "These are two golden elixirs from Master. Not only did they bring me back to life, but after I gained enlightenment, I slowly refined them and gained hundreds of years of power.
"
"Damn it, brother Taoist, you are really lucky. I have worked so hard for so many years and only got two years of mana, and now I still have very little left..." Liu Qiao said with a bitter smile.
Yang Ren waved his hand modestly, "My magic power is weak and unstable. It is no better than what you have gained through hard work. It can be wielded like an arm."
Liu Qiao was silent. He thought of Yang Ren's words and seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. He wondered: "If Qingfeng Mountain is not here, why is Brother Dao here?"
"Haha, it was Master's order. He said that someone was looking for him, but he was running around like a headless fly. I'm afraid you fell into the devil's cave and didn't know it..."
Yang Rendao: "That's why I specifically asked me to come out to find you. Master said that you will pass here today, so I waited at this rocky cliff early..."
Liu Qiao was shocked when he heard this, and the word "Yuanshen" came up in his mind for no reason.
Calculating can only determine some major events, but the True Monarch of Daode actually knows the day, time and place of his master and disciple, thousands of miles away.
This ability of foresight is really terrifying. It is no longer a simple Taoist practice that can be summarized by calculation. Only those who have cultivated the soul can have this ability.
I heard Jiang Shang say before that after practicing for a long time, a Qi practitioner will naturally develop various supernatural powers. The five Qi, three flowers, and Yuanshen each have their own magic.
As for the Yuanshen, the spirit of consciousness retreats, and the instinctive Yuanzhen appears, which is mysterious and unknowable and indescribable.
Normal people are dominated by consciousness and thoughts, with seven emotions and six desires, dark and positive thinking, etc. This consciousness is called consciousness.
When you are unconscious, the true nature will appear slightly, and this true nature is the soul.
True immortals and sages are all in charge of the Yuan Shen. The Taoist Scriptures say, "Those who are in charge of the Yuan Shen will become immortals and attain the Tao."
Jiang Shang couldn't tell exactly how much power the Yuanshen had. He only knew that it could sense infinite information in the universe and knew almost everything.
Not only can he know it in advance, but anyone who reads his name can sense it.
When the Immortal family reaches this point in their cultivation, they are only one step away from becoming a true Immortal.
If we use the analogy of the Great Desolate River in the past life, it would be the pinnacle of quasi-sage.
