In the world of mortals, it is difficult to keep one’s original intention. The joys, sorrows, separations and reunions in the world are the most fascinating to the heart.
Seeing that Sheng Yan was about to transform into her true form, she was rudely interrupted by Liu Qinghuan and pulled into the nine-melody world of mortals.
She probably wouldn't have imagined that one day she would be trapped in the field she was best at, and as soon as she entered the world of mortals, she would find herself transformed into a little girl, standing in the city of human cultivation.
But the trick of "Nine Songs of Red Dust Pu", "Everything in the Red Dust", is not just a simple illusion, but also a Taoist technique. It contains all kinds of murderous intentions, which are even more difficult to guard against than the illusion of mirage.
Liu Qinghuan worked hard to refine this score, integrating all his own insights one by one. "All Things in the World" contains his understanding of the seven emotions and six desires, among which hate is a steel knife, anger is a sharp blade, resentment is a rope around the neck, and desire is a piercing intestine.
Once the poison acts rashly, it will be like thousands of ants eating the heart, causing great pain and starting to collapse from itself.
Sheng Yan is a mirage that takes shape. As long as it takes shape and has a human heart, it cannot escape the corrosion of the seven emotions and six desires. What's more, the cultivation of the monster beast's body is not as firm as that of the human cultivation, and it even falls into this trap.
It's hard to extricate yourself from the "everything in the world of mortals".
Liu Qinghuan was manipulating the situation coldly from outside, watching Sheng Yan inside sometimes be sober and sometimes confused. When sober, she was killing everyone, and when she was confused, she was confused, and gradually she even forgot that she was a monster.
This made him a little surprised. After all, it was also his first time to use the world of mortals. This technique used the cold water of Forgetfulness that he had taken from the Xibao Pond. As long as the seven emotions were immobile, he could break through the realm, but he didn't want to
Sheng Yan fell deeper and deeper into the trap, which was really like "hunting geese all day long, only to be pecked and blinded by the geese".
Seeing that Sheng Yan was firmly trapped, Liu Qinghuan finally had time to raise his head and look for others.
Since everyone was at Nascent Soul level or higher, each move was extremely powerful, not to mention that this was at the bottom of the sea, and the flowing water would carry the power farther, so the people fighting on their own deliberately widened the distance between each other.
In the distance, Cuixu and Kuhai were fighting evenly with the dragon that had transformed into its true form. The sea around them was almost like the center of a storm, so intense that it was difficult to get close.
What surprised Liu Qinghuan was that the monk surnamed Lan and the demon cultivator carrying the turtle shell disappeared without a trace. It was not known whether he was too far away or had taken the opportunity to escape.
At this time, he heard Kuhai say loudly: "Brother Ao, right? You and I have no blood feud. Now that one of your friends is trapped and the other has escaped, why should you and I fight and injure both of us?"
The two parties separated briefly, and Ao Zang turned into a human form. His figure was quite embarrassed, but he held his head high and said: "Stop talking nonsense, you are a human cultivator, and I am a demon cultivator. We have sworn to be incompatible, let's do it again!"
"Human cultivators and demon cultivators reach the same goal by different paths. How can we vow to be incompatible." Cuixu on the other side said calmly: "I admit that you are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, you can't beat the two of us. And the longer the time goes by, the harder it will be for you.
The chance of winning will be lower, so it’s better to just give up. In addition, I can swear with my Taoist heart that I will never harm Taoist Fellow Sheng in the future. I’m just asking her for help. Is that okay?”
"This..." Ao Zang's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
He knew in his heart that what the other party said was the truth, and he only received some reward, so he would not endanger himself for it.
Gui Mo was a coward, fearing that something bad would have happened today, so he ran away after getting the benefit, not caring about the life and death of others.
He glanced at Liu Qinghuan, his heart shuddered, and after a while he said reluctantly: "You can stop if you want me to, let Sheng Yan out first!"
Kuhai laughed loudly: "That's right, old monk, I like a harmonious group the most. Why bother fighting and killing? Why not just have a drink together?"
Ao Zang twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling quite overwhelmed by this smooth and shameless old monk.
Liu Qinghuan saw the eyes of the three people coming toward him after they had stopped making peace, and they were ready to see what Ku Hai had to say.
Kuhai lifted up his robe, took out a golden bowl from nowhere, and said, "Master Nephew Liu, please release Fellow Taoist Sheng."
Liu Qinghuan recited a few dharma formulas silently, and the nine-melody human music score was retracted and rolled up, revealing the majestic face in the confusion.
Sheng Yan stood there blankly, with confusion remaining in her eyes. The sea of bitterness was twisted in the golden bowl, and a golden light suddenly flew out and penetrated into the center of her eyebrows.
"You!" Ao Zang stepped in front of her and said angrily: "How dare you go back on your word?!"
Sheng Yan finally woke up and screamed: "What did you do to me! Ahhhh, why is there a shackle on my soul!"
Ku Hai recited a Buddhist sentence and said calmly: "Don't panic, fellow Taoist, it's just a restriction imposed by my Buddhist sect. As long as you lead us to Dushuo Mountain, I will lift it for you. Of course, if you want to
If you want to escape, then..."
The situation was stronger than the person. No matter how much she hated him, Sheng Yan couldn't do anything about it after arguing for a while. After hearing Ku Hai and others swear their vows as promised, she felt a little more at ease and reluctantly agreed to help.
She glanced at Liu Qinghuan, with fear and hatred remaining in her eyes: If she had known this, she should have crushed this person to death when he was still a golden elixir, otherwise why would she be coerced today?
But she didn't expect that she had trapped and killed so many monks over the years, nor that she had trapped Liu Qinghuan for more than a hundred years. It was normal for an old bird to fly to a pig and see others as black but not herself.
And Ao Zang had already quietly escaped when Sheng Yan was making a fuss. If he stayed, he was afraid he would stay forever.
Liu Qinghuan really wanted to keep it. The dragon was a treasure. No matter which part of its body it was, it would be of great use in refining elixirs and refining weapons.
However, Ao Zang obviously didn't use all his strength before. If he pushed harder, it was hard to predict what would happen. They had been chasing a mid-level 4th-level mirage for so long before, let alone a dragon that was obviously at the peak of the fourth-level.
, so at this juncture, it’s better not to cause unnecessary complications.
After that, Liu Qinghuan and the others surrounded Sheng Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and returned to the sea.
On the way back to meet Liang Jing'an, Cuixu said: "Okay, now you can tell us how to find Dushuo Mountain."
Sheng Yan had a straight face: "To find that mountain, I need to use the power of my soul. Now my soul is sealed and I can't find it."
"Really?" Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly, and the sword of life and death suddenly appeared in his hand. He placed it on her slender neck in a flash, and said coldly: "In this case, there is no need to save your life!"
Seeing that the other two people had no intention of stopping him, Sheng Yan hurriedly shouted: "You guys swore an oath!"
With a look of compassion on his face, Ku Hai recited a sentence: "That is based on your full efforts to help find it. If you can't do it, we naturally don't have to keep our promise."
Sheng Yanzong sat on the cloud boat that Cuixu brought out. After a while, he slumped his shoulders in frustration and said angrily: "Treacherous human beings!"
She glanced sideways at the long sword on her neck and said impatiently: "Can you move it away?"
Liu Qinghuan remained unmoved, as if the other party didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he would take action the next moment.
"Okay, okay." Sheng Yan shouted and looked at the sky: "Dushuo Mountain is usually ethereal and uncertain. Even if it appears in front of us now, it will float away again before we get close. Only on the Blood Moon
Only then will we stop, so if you want to climb the mountain, you can only take advantage of that time."
Cuixu sat cross-legged on Yunzhou's head and said, "Can you usually find the direction of Dushuo Mountain?"
"It's useless to find it." Sheng Yan sneered: "The mountain looks like a ghost. I'm afraid it will run away before we can get there."
"So, you can still find it?"
Sheng Yan's expression darkened: "Do you know how I search? Every time I use the search technique, it takes decades of cultivation. Can you make up for this?"
Liu Qinghuan slowly put away his sword and said nonchalantly: "We don't care about this, that's your business."
This is a bit of a rogue thing to say, but among the three of them, there must be someone who sings the white face, someone who sings the bad face, and Renhe Xini, Cuixu and Kuhai are both seniors, and he is the only one who is most suitable to sing the black face.
Kuhai said with a smile: "Actually, I won't let you spend it casually. Speaking of which, the next blood moon should be more than half a year away. Then you only need to search a few times when the blood moon is coming, and we will rush there."
Cuixu muttered: "The blood moon lasts for a few days at the shortest and half a month at the longest. The mirage is so vast. If Dushuo Mountain appears exactly to the east and west of us by then, I'm afraid it won't be too late.
Hurry over there, we have to discuss this matter in the long term to see if we can come up with the safest solution."
The few people discussed and hurried on their way, and soon found Liang Jing'an who had settled on an island.
Everyone no longer looked for another place, Cuixu set up the magic circle in a few times and used this island as a temporary residence for a group of people.
After Sheng Yan settled down, the four people from Yun Mengze gathered in the newly built cave to discuss what to do next.
Cuixu greeted Liang Jing'an, who was a little restrained, and said gently: "Sit down, we are the only ones here, so we don't have to pay attention to those rules."
Liang Jing'an stood aside. He was the only one of the four people present who was still in the Jindan stage. Hearing this, he smiled at Liu Qinghuan and sat down on the empty side of Fang Ji.
There was a map of the Great Mirage on the table. Kuhai pointed at their location and said: "It's difficult, it's difficult."
Liu Qinghuan and Liang Jing'an had just been released from the "dark prison" and knew nothing about the situation in the outside world these years, so they did not speak for the time being.
Cuixu said: "Let's put this aside for a moment. I think the top priority is to contact other people. It is said that the alliance sent three groups of monks to arrive here after our group. Although it is not sure how many people are left now, there is one more person.
It will give you more strength."
Kuhai nodded: "That's fine."
The few people discussed for a while, and Cuixu finally said: "Then Xiaoyou Liang and I will go out to look for people. If we meet Brother Yun Mengze in the process, we will tell him to meet up in half a year, but there is no need to come now and let them search together.
In this way, people can be brought together as quickly as possible. Master, take the demon cultivator and try to find Dushuoshan to see if what she said is false."
He turned to Liu Qinghuan: "Master Nephew Liu, go to the center of the Great Mirage to find a suitable island, and then stay there to receive the arriving fellow Taoists."
Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "How about Brother Liang and I change positions and I go out?"
"No need." Liang Jing'an said hurriedly: "You have just given birth, it is best to consolidate your cultivation."
Ku Hai also said: "It is best to leave a Nascent Soul monk to guard the island. If someone from another world discovers this place, they can be quickly destroyed."
Of course, there is another point. Liu Qinghuan's status is different from others. He may not have convinced others because of his insufficient cultivation in the past, but now he is also a Nascent Soul monk. I believe he is the highest status person among the Yun Mengze monks in this small corner.
Already.
After the discussion, they rested for two days and then went about their own business.
Liu Qinghuan spent more than half a month to find a suitable island, then built a magic circle and prepared the cave.
Because he has a water mirror on his body, the other three people can directly check his location, which is a lot more convenient.
After that, he consolidated his cultivation while waiting for others. Three months later, people began to arrive on the island one after another. When they arrived about half a year later, there were already nearly forty Yunmengze monks on the island.
On this day, two more people arrived together. When verifying their identities, Liu Qinghuan saw the jade token in his hand and was shocked: "You, you..."
Guess who has arrived. Or rather, who do you want to come?
