In the next few years, Lu You has been staying in the formation without leaving home. In the eyes of others, Jiang Heng's soul has just taken away a new body and needs to be completely integrated and slowly restore his skills.
Although Lu You stayed at home and did not go to see the sect master Jiang Chun or the immortal Jiang Ju who stayed behind, he did invite Jiang Heng's disciples and family members for questioning.
As a great monk at the level of Hedao, Jiang Heng lived for more than 5,000 years. Not only did he have descendants, but he also had several disciples. Although Jiang Heng's physical body was destroyed eight hundred years ago, his son has also been destroyed.
He died of old age, but he still has a grandson and two apprentices alive.
Lu You summoned these people for questioning in order to understand the situation of Qingyang Sect in recent years.
Grandson Jiang Gumi told the most detailed story, saying that Jiang Ju, the ancestor of the Immortal, has not shown up for 138 years, and there are only 12 Hedao monks left in the Qingyang Sect, which is incomparable to the heyday of the year.
Lu You asked: "Why are there fewer and fewer great monks?"
Jiang Gumi replied: "Because 460 years ago, someone broke into the 'Qingli Palace' in Licheng, injured the immortal Jiang Gong who was guarding the city, and took away all the Qingli fairy land. The fairy spirit vein in the capital,
Only a few dozen kilograms of fairy soil can be cultivated every year, and the fairy soil allocated to our Qingyang Sect is too little."
Lu You remembered that the memory left by Jiang Heng contained content about the "Qingli Fairyland".
Qingli Kingdom has three immortal spiritual veins, among which the one located under the capital is mainly used to cultivate the "Qingli Immortal Land". Although the capital has many people, there are not many great monks, and the energy consumed is relatively small.
The main branches of the fairy spirit veins are locked by the ancient immortals. After special treatment, seventy or eighty kilograms of fairy soil can be born every year.
The two major sects of Qingli Kingdom, Qingyang Sect and Liyang Sect, have uneven births of Hedao monks. Sometimes two Hedao monks are born in one Jiazi, and sometimes not one Hedao monk is born in three or four Jiazi.
There are "good years" and "famine years", so when there is a famine year, there will be Qingli fairyland stored.
The two bird realms are all earth cultivators. According to the mentality left by the emperor, if you want to advance to Hedao, you must swallow ten kilograms of fairy soil. If you want to advance to the middle stage of Hedao, you must swallow another twenty kilograms of fairy soil; to advance
In the late stage of Hedao, he swallowed thirty kilograms of fairy soil! Therefore, every great monk in the late stage of Hedao must consume at least sixty kilograms of fairy soil.
Because the immortal soil of "Qingli Palace" was stolen, it was difficult for the monks of the Qingli Sect to advance, and fewer and fewer great monks were born.
Lu You asked: "How many immortals are left in Qingli Kingdom?"
Jiang Gumi replied: "There are three left. However, because ancestor Jiang Gong was injured, he has not shown his face for hundreds of years, and ancestor Jiang Ju has not shown his face for more than a hundred years. Currently, the only one who often appears is Yun Qing, the immortal of Li Yangzong.
." At this point, he stopped and looked around, as if he had something to say that he didn't dare to say.
Lu You said: "The surrounding space is sealed by me. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Jiang Gumi lowered his voice and said: "Grandpa, I heard a theory. Some people said that it was Immortal Yunqing of Liyang Sect who made a sneak attack, injured Immortal Jiang Gong, and stole Qingli Immortal Land."
Lu You shook his head: "It's unlikely. If she was the one who took action, why do you still dare to stay here?"
"Some people say that a long time ago, Yun Qing was born in poverty and was beautiful. She was selected as a show girl. She was originally assigned to make a furnace for the great monk Jiang Gong, but she was snatched away by my ancestor Jiang Ju.
”
"Well, I've heard the story you told me. Mr. Jiang belongs to the side branch of the Jiang family, and my father, your great-grandfather Jiang Ju, is the main branch of the Jiang family. At one time, Mr. Jiang's skills were stuck.
In the middle stage of Hedao, he had not been able to advance for three thousand years. The family found many beautiful girls for him to serve as his cauldron to help him advance. My father couldn't stand it and snatched away a beautiful and pitiful woman. Then,
It’s Yun Qing. But later, I don’t know why Yun Qing broke away from my father’s control and became the head of the Liyang Sect. Do you know what happened?”
Jiang Gumi said: "Grandpa, a hundred years after you overcame the tribulation, Yun Qing, who was in the late stage of Hedao, suddenly betrayed her great grandfather and went to Qingli Palace to join Duke Jiang. She had been husband and wife with Duke Jiang for 180 years and swallowed hundreds of
She cultivated herself into a fairy and became an immortal. At that time, the head of the Liyang Sect happened to ascend. In order to control the Qingli Kingdom, Gong Jiang made her the head of the Liyang Sect. After several decades, Gong Jiang appeared.
She was seriously injured and Qingli Fairy Land was snatched away. Therefore, some people speculated that this might have been done by Yun Qing. It was even possible that she turned to her great-grandfather for help, and the two of them joined forces to control Mr. Jiang.
It’s hard to say whether he’s still alive or not.”
Lu You nodded: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll give you a Qingli Pill and go back and practice hard."
Jiang Gumi was overjoyed: "Thank you, grandpa."
Lu You didn't care about the life or death of these immortals, but he was very interested in "Qingli Immortal Land" and wanted to know how it was cultivated.
If you want to uncover this mystery, you must turn to Jiang Ju. Jiang Ju is Jiang Heng’s father, and he took Jun Qing as his concubine, but Jun Qing never gave birth to a child, and Jun Qing is not Jiang Heng’s grandmother.
There is no blood relationship at all.
One sunny morning, Lu You came down from "Yuheng Peak" and came to the main peak of Qinglong Mountain. He said to the monk guarding the mountain: "I am Jiang Heng, and I want to ask to see my father."
However, the person guarding the mountain said: "I'm sorry. The immortal has spoken and will not receive anyone for five hundred years."
Lu You paused for a moment, then turned and left.
He came to "Yu Cui Peak" and wanted to see the sect leader Jiang Chun.
Logically speaking, he was Jiang Chun's great-uncle, and Jiang Chun should have come out to greet him in person. However, Jiang Chun did not come out, but ordered someone to lead him to a main hall.
Lu You met Jiang Chun.
Jiang Chun was wearing a loose robe, with fluttering beard and hair. He looked a bit like an immortal. He said with a smile: "Congratulations, uncle, for successfully seizing the body. May I ask how much of your skills have you recovered?"<
/p>
Lu You knew in his heart that the monks who failed to overcome the tribulation for the first time and lost their souls would encounter greater difficulties if they practiced again and tried to overcome the tribulation again. Therefore, although Jiang Chun was Jiang Heng's grandnephew, he did not treat this
Uncle is respectful enough.
In other words, in Jiang Chun's view, this uncle was unsatisfactory when he was alive, and now he is even more useless after taking away his body.
】
Lu You said angrily: "Jiang Chun! I am your brother's brother. It is unreasonable for you to treat me like this."
Jiang Chun's smile did not change and he said: "Uncle, don't be angry. What do you want me to do when you come to me?"
Lu You said: "I need 100 pounds of Qingli fairy soil!"
Jiang Chun's face changed slightly and said: "Uncle, I can't fulfill your request. The Qingyang Sect can only get 25 kilograms of fairy soil every year, how can it be possible to give you 100 kilograms in total?"
Lu You said: "I don't care! You can help me get 100 kilograms of fairy soil. After I have the fairy soil, I can fully recover my skills and have two chances to become an immortal."
"Uncle, please don't embarrass me. I don't have fairy soil in my hand, what do you want me to do?"
"If there is no immortal land, you won't go to Qingli Palace to ask for it?"
"There is no fairy land anymore in Qingli Palace."
"How do you know there is no fairyland there? I want to see my father, but I was blocked at the foot of the mountain by guards just now. What's going on?"
"Uncle, don't worry. The Immortal has indeed sent word that he will be in seclusion for 500 years. Since you succeeded in seizing the body, why not wait patiently until the Immortal comes out of seclusion before asking for advice?"
"Humph, no! If there weren't a hundred kilograms of fairy soil, my body would still decay and I wouldn't be able to wait that long."
"Uncle, I still have 10 kilograms of fairy soil. Can I give it all to you?"
"Not enough! Otherwise, would you accompany me to Qingli Palace?"
"No, no, Qingli Palace is a forbidden area, and there is a large formation of immortals blocking it outside. Only immortals can enter, and I am not qualified to enter."
The two argued for a while, and finally Lu You took ten kilograms of fairy soil and left Jade Peak.
The main god Lu Cheng visits the Bird Realm every ten years and brings back the photos taken by Lu You and the treasures he obtained, including pottery pots, elixirs and fairy soil.
Lu You did not keep 10 kilograms of fairy soil in his hand, because this amount of fairy soil was too little and could not improve his skill much.
