The news coming from Jiangzhou is that the Master of the White Bone Temple has completed the refining of the false relic elixir, entered the realm of the golden elixir, and became a Taoist master!
Those Taoist priests who went to Jiangzhou to try to seek benefits were killed, injured, and only a few escaped from Jiangzhou alive.
According to the rumors, if the White Bone Temple master had not just broken through the realm and needed to spend energy to warm up the great elixir in his body, he did not pursue the remaining Taoist priests, otherwise there would not be a single Taoist priest who came back to report the news.
After Xu Dao got the news, he made some inquiries in Wudu City out of luck, only to find that the news was true.
A few days later, a Taoist priest who was seriously injured in the middle stage of foundation building returned and was looking for trouble in Wudu City. The incident in Jiangzhou completely spread in Wudu City, and the Taoist disciples in the Qi Refining Realm also knew about it.
.
This is because among the few Taoist priests who came back alive, there was the Heili Taoist priest who invited Xu Tao in the first place. The one who caused trouble for him was one of the Taoist priests who was present at the meeting.
The latter probably came to their senses and were angry that they were being plotted, so they went to Taoist Heili's house to ask for an explanation.
But who would have thought that the Taoist priest Heili, who had always concealed his face and cultivation, was actually a Taoist priest in the late stage of foundation building - the realm of gang refining. Moreover, he had already achieved a small level of gang energy and was not very afraid of people who would cause trouble for him.
During this time, the dog bit the dog, and there were many different opinions, which made the Taoist priests in Wudu City feel quite lively.
Xu Dao observed secretly and found that from the beginning to the end, except for confirming and adding some news about Jiangzhou, Daogong and Dang Yaosi had done nothing extra.
Not to mention inviting experts in the realm of Jindan to take action, it is really surprising that not one of the many Taoist priests under his sect has even made a trip to Jiangzhou.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "Since the Master of the White Bone Monastery has achieved the golden elixir, it's okay that the Dao Palace and the Demon Demon Division don't dare to continue to cause trouble. Why haven't I heard that I want to congratulate that guy..."
The matter of Dan Cheng was a big event and worthy of a big gift. He always felt that the affairs of the Southwest Territory were deliberately ignored by Wudu.
After thinking for a while, but unable to think of anything, Xu Dao simply let go of the matter and just sighed in his heart:
"Sure enough, those who can achieve foundation building and are expected to form elixirs are people who should not be underestimated."
The Master of the White Bone Temple first cultivated a powerful magic weapon, which was suspected to be a magic weapon, and then took advantage of the situation to seize the fake relic elixir of the Master of the Yaksha Sect.
In the end, even though he was interrupted by Xu Daonao, he still succeeded in refining the fake relic elixir and turned it into his own great elixir. It can be said that he is also a man of means.
For those who have succeeded in forming pills now, no matter how many men and horses they lost before, or were taken advantage of by Xu Dao, as long as they stabilize their state and get out, everything will be worth it, and they will definitely be able to avenge their past humiliation.
Moreover, when Master White Bone Temple has just completed his great elixir, it is when he is in high spirits, and he will probably not be like the master of Yaksha Sect, and he will not cower on the ground.
Thinking about it, Xu Dao suddenly felt that his situation was not good.
When the Master of the White Bone Temple is finally released, the opponent may still not dare to make a mistake in Wu Capital, but how can capturing him, an ordinary Taoist priest who builds the foundation, be considered a mistake?
In addition, the opponent also has thirty-six white-bone Taoist soldiers that are extremely suspicious of magic weapons. They may be even more powerful than the master of the Yasha Sect in its heyday.
At that time, the other party only needs to give a few instructions, and the Demon Slayer Department and Dao Palace may even assist the other party in finding Xu Dao.
"No, I have to increase my strength as soon as possible."
A sense of anxiety arose in Xu Dao's heart. He squeezed the jade hook in his sleeve tightly and made an instant decision: "It seems that we have to go to the fairy garden this time."
The Immortal Garden of Erhai Dao Palace opens once every three years. If we wait for the next time, that means within three years, Xu Dao's cultivation will progress slowly.
Three or four months after he came to Wudu, the reason why he did not obtain the foundation-building techniques from other Taoist priests was not because he didn't want to, but because he was really short of money and didn't have much money to buy the talismans.
Moreover, even if he earned talisman money, the spells he could buy from casual monks were all incomplete and did not suit his wishes.
Xu Dao's best solution now is to join a Taoist palace. In this way, not only will he be exposed to the more orthodox Taoist methods, he will improve his cultivation, he can rest against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and it will also be much easier to earn talisman money.
Even when the time comes when the Lord of the White Bone Temple comes out of seclusion and hunts him everywhere, Xu Dao may still be protected by the Taoist Palace.
"Taoists are strictly prohibited from fighting each other in the city of Wu capital. The leader of Wu State also made a three-law agreement: those who kill will die, and those who injure others and steal will not be punished. Even the five edicts in the city do not dare to offend at will, and they often only kill people outside the city..."
Xu Dao thought to himself that this was the important reason why Taoist Lei Zhao did not kill him casually to vent his anger and block the news after he walked into Lei Zhao's mansion as a Taoist disciple and revealed important information.
This is also the reason why the casual monks are still willing to enter the fairy garden even though they know that they will be arrested when they come out.
Because the Taoist palace would not kill them, but would only deprive them of all the gains they had gained in the fairy garden. As for what the Taoist priests had already eaten, the Taoist palace had no choice.
"Only because it will not kill Taoist priests who sneak into the fairy garden, Erhai Taoist Palace can still be regarded as an orthodox Taoism. If I join the Taoist Palace, for the sake of face and rules, it is very likely that the Taoist Palace will protect me.
big."
After thinking about this clearly, Xu Dao no longer had any scruples.
Moreover, he looked down at the breath-containing jade hook hidden in his sleeve, and he felt even more relaxed and thought: "Even if I surrender myself, I can still go to the Taoist palace as the remnant of the imperial edict. At worst, I will give up the token in my hand."
That’s it.”
Although his plan to pretend to be Lei Liangxiao's friend failed, Xu Dao could still disguise himself as the only remaining member of the Shezhao tribe.
Even when he was blocked when leaving the fairy garden and the token in his hand was exposed, he had already thought of his words. He was just pretending to be timid, crying out about the destruction of the tribe, and being frightened.
As for whether Wudu Wuzhao would recognize his identity as the remnant vein of Shezhao, the spiritual roots and dragon veins planted in Xu Dao's physical body came from the mirage dragon and the Nanke wormfly, and he has two major talents to prove it.
Moreover, according to the Dragon Transformation Path recorded in the Dragon Palace Iron Tower, Shezhao's bloodline is dominated by the Dragon Transformation bloodline, and the purpose of the Dragon Palace Formation is also to purify the dragon blood in the human body.
Judging from Xu Dao's current physical condition, although he was not originally a member of the Shezhao, he has already become a "Shezhao". He considers himself second, and no one in the world can consider himself first.
Xu Dao said to himself secretly: "From now on, my heel will be the Shazhao Young Patriarch who destroyed his clan and destroyed his family."
"No, wait..." After thinking carefully for a while, he found that there was no need to define his identity as the head of the Shezhao clan. He could completely graft his childhood experiences and define him as a direct descendant of Shezhao who was left behind.
.
Just like the descendant of Lei Zhao who once entered the Black Mountain and obtained the "Yin Thunder Method in the Palm of Tanzhong", all Xu Dao needed to do was to worship him in the White Bone Temple and discover that the coffin of the Shezhao clan became a matter of lying on the firewood and tasting courage.
Do it on purpose.
In this way, no matter how much people from the Taoist palace combed and inquired about his background, he could still get through it. After all, what Xu Dao communicated to others would always be the truth!
And with the blessing of the identity of Shezhao Yumai, the possibility of Dao Palace and Dangyao Division protecting him is greater.
Of course, the above are all calculations and preparations made in advance for risk consideration.
What Xu Dao hopes most is that he won't need these preparations at all. He can easily sneak into the Taoist palace and hold in his hand a key that can occasionally open the Erhai Fairy Garden.
As for the Lord of the White Bone Temple, it is best for the other party not to pursue him, or even if they pursue him, they will not be able to find any trace of him.
After making the decision.
In addition to going out from time to time and continuing to inquire about information, Xu Dao also made preparations to enter the fairy garden.
Because he suspected that Taoist Heili had an unclear relationship with the Dang Yaosi and the Dao Palace, and it was difficult to expose it, he did not ask the other party to solve the problem of concealing his cultivation. Instead, after asking around, he realized that he could do it himself
solve.
It turns out that the method used by Taoist Black Li and others to allow Taoist priests to sneak into the ranks of Qi Refining Taoist disciples was to seal and suppress the Taoist priests' cultivation.
Xu Dao is not unfamiliar with this method. He has been using this method since he built the foundation of his body. At first, he drew rune formations on the scales, and later covered the body with the cuttlefish sword that was promoted to a foundation-building weapon.
It means that for those below the Golden Core realm, it is extremely difficult to discover his hidden cultivation.
Just don't do it, otherwise you will be exposed.
Moreover, the Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace are not Taoist priests from the southwestern realm, and their vision may be very vicious, which is not very safe.
But in any case, Xu Dao tentatively learned about the methods of Taoist Black Li and others, and found that the methods given by the other party were either taking strong medicine, practicing secret techniques, and using various methods that were close to self-mutilation to seal their cultivation. They were far better than him.
The methods should be crude.
Xu Dao's method of collecting interest is enough.
And he did this just for insurance. After all, he did not enter the fairy garden with other Taoist disciples under the supervision of the Taoist priests of the Taoist Palace, but went through the back door.
………………
time flies.
The three-year experience of the Immortal Garden is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more Taoists in Wudu City, including mortals.
Xu Dao was a little surprised by this. After learning about it later, he learned that this time period was also the time when other Taoist sects and Taoist priests in Taoist palaces recruited boys.
Except for remote areas, young girls and even adult men and women from all over the Kingdom of Wu will gather in Wu Capital City to seek immortality.
Among them, there are not a few who entered the city when they were children, and now enter the city again when they are gray-haired.
Xu Dao was walking on the street, and from time to time he would see white-haired old men in Taoist robes carrying young children also wearing Taoist robes, running around the city. The merchants in the city also warmly entertained them.
It's just that among the hundreds of thousands of people who came to the city to seek Taoism, how many succeeded in worshiping in Taoist temples and became Taoist boys. After becoming Taoist boys, how many returned without success or even lost their lives.
Finally, the day for the Fairy Garden to open has arrived.
It was still dark, and everyone in Wudu City who had free time walked to the northwest of the city.
There is no city wall in the west of the city, but there are ravines and dykes, each one higher than the other, with the highest being dozens of feet. It is not the city wall that is better than the city wall. But behind the dykes, there is a gray mist, which is extremely broad.
Only those standing on the outermost embankment can clearly see the lifeless black and blue water under the mist.
This place shrouded in thick fog, a lifeless place, is Erhai Lake.
Today, Xu Dao and three of his subordinates, Su Jiu, came here for the reason of watching the excitement, and even rushed to stand on the embankment near the lake.
Several people were chatting while waiting for the fairy garden to open.
Among them, Su Jiu looked around, pointed suddenly and asked: "Sir, isn't it rumored that there is a Taoist palace? This Erhai Lake has no wind and waves all year round, no rising water, no tide, and no monsters. Why have so many dams been built?
"
After her reminder, Xu Dao also glanced at the dike built on the edge of Erhai Lake and found that there were actually nine dikes. He was surprised for a moment, but he also didn't know why.
So he asked his swordsman, Chen Wan, to go out and inquire, but he found nothing. It seemed that the nine dams had been in place thousands of years ago.
As more and more people gathered on the shore of Erhai Lake, there was finally a change in the sky above Erhai Lake.
The mist that originally enveloped the entire water suddenly receded deeper, revealing the bright sun above and the dark blue water below.
Suddenly, there were waves of exclamations from the shore.
Because when the fog at the end of everyone's field of vision also disappeared, the extremely wide water surface appeared in everyone's eyes. They didn't know whether it was more than ten miles, dozens of miles, or hundreds of miles wide.
Compared with this, the huge city of Wu is only a small corner.
The sunlight collided with the blue water, splashing out a brilliant blue color. The water surface was quiet without even the slightest wrinkle, like a mirror lying flat on the ground.
Wudu City and the dam are its mirror handle and frame.
Xu Dao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such beautiful scenery. Even after he came back to his senses, he was still staring at it.
"I wonder where the land is after Erhai Lake?"
What is the realm and scene in the depths of Erhai Lake? Even though Xu Dao was a Taoist, he had inquired and read relevant books in the city, but still could not find any relevant information.
Although there are no monsters or waves in the sea, many mortals and Taoists have gone to the sea in an attempt to explore how big the sea is. However, they either never returned or returned hungry, almost starving to death but still unable to find them.
boundary.
This is also a big reason why Xu Dao was anxious when he learned that the Master of White Bone Temple had formed a golden elixir, but did not choose to leave his hometown again.
To the southeast of Wu State is the Shiwanda Mountains, and to the northwest is the Erhai Lake.
The former is difficult to cross, and the foundation-building realm may be damaged, while the latter has no idea where it leads. Xu Dao thought about it, and a sight in his eyes made him completely withdraw his mind.
Thousands of mountains and forests, curved rocks and strange rocks, pavilions and pavilions suddenly appeared in the sky above Erhai Lake, like a city emerging from the water.
Its shape covers the sky and the sun; its shape is shadowy, illusory and distorted.
Xu Dao looked at it and whispered: "Mirage?"
At the same time, he immediately felt the jade hook in his hand move, and he was pleasantly surprised, "You can enter the fairy garden now!"
