Changsheng Temple is located on Changsheng Mountain in the suburbs of Mingshan City. The mountain is not high, only more than 500 meters.
Stone steps with moss marks spread crookedly up from the foot of the mountain. It was autumn, and the ginkgo trees on both sides were already golden.
The falling golden leaves are very beautiful. Normally, many citizens and bloggers would come here to take pictures, but now, a team of armed personnel are standing guard around the place.
"Continue to be on duty, don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone out!" Guo Changyong ordered.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Guo Changyong nodded and led two team members up the steps towards the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain with a serious expression.
"Team Leader Guo, the master of the temple is at the Jingxin Hall. Please follow me."
At the entrance of the Taoist temple, the Taoist priest who greeted him saw the certificate displayed by Guo Changyong and respectfully led the way.
Guo Changyong followed the Taoist priest. Along the way, many Taoist priests were carrying potted plants, calligraphy, paintings and other items with great enthusiasm.
After passing through the long lacquered wooden corridor, the Taoist priest who led the way stopped, stepped aside, stretched out his hand and said:
"Team Leader Guo, the leader of my temple is right in front. Please come in."
Guo Changyong walked forward, looked through the flowers and plants, and saw the Taoist priest in the hall.
He was sitting on a gray futon, with a face like a crown of jade, black hair tied into a bun, and a jade hairpin. Stacks of Taoist scriptures were placed beside him, and an ink painting hung in the middle of the hall.
Is this really Taoist Master Lu Qing?
The accompanying team members could not calm down. The 90-year-old man actually regained his youth!
The naked truth before their eyes was far more shocking than the cold records!
Rejuvenation is real!
The two team members shouted loudly in their hearts and their hands shook uncontrollably.
Guo Changyong was not surprised by the performance of his subordinates and calmly led them into the palace.
"Team Leader Guo, please take a seat." Lu Qing pointed to the futon opposite and invited.
The moment Lu Qing looked at him, Guo Changyong was attracted by Lu Qing's eyes.
Black pupils and white whites, like Tai Chi spinning, flashed a lightning in Guo Changyong's mind.
It’s really evil!
Guo Changyong thought to himself, got rid of the influence, silently walked to the futon and sat down.
"Master Lu, please forgive me for disturbing you. I am..."
"I know you are Guo Changyong, the leader of the special investigation team of Mingshan Police Station. You don't need to show your ID, I can see it."
Lu Qing pointed to his eyes, and Guo Changyong's hand that reached into his underwear pocket suddenly froze.
"Haha, Guanzhu Lu really has profound Taoism."
Guo Changyong still took out his ID and put it on the table, looking curiously at the old man opposite.
"Master Lu, have you achieved enlightenment and become an immortal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the two team members behind him, but also the little Taoist priest serving tea and water beside him couldn't help but stop and looked at Lu Qing with rapid breathing.
Becoming an immortal has been the dream of many people throughout the ages, and has given birth to many magnificent and magical legends!
Lu Qing's indifferent face showed a look of reminiscence, then shook his head and sighed, looking at the paintings in the hall and said:
"Oh, this old Taoist can't be considered an immortal. It's far, far away! It's just that I met the Patriarch by chance and was lucky enough to get a little bit of protection from him. Only people like the Patriarch can be considered immortals!"
Hearing that the Master of Changsheng Temple unexpectedly met the Patriarch, Guo Changyong suddenly stood up and looked at the ink paintings on the wall.
There are mountains and green mountains, and a path climbs up to the clouds and goes straight into the blue sky. A ninety-year-old man with white hair kowtows on the road. Under the golden light of the sky, two immortals with clear light cast a gentle gaze.
"Picture of Immortal Granting Immortality." Guo Changyong subconsciously read out the name on the painting.
He suddenly felt that he had become the old man in the painting, kowtowing step by step, passing through the clouds and mist into the Qingming, and meeting the immortal!
In an instant, Guo Changyong felt infinitely moved and sacred in his heart.
"This person is destined to be part of my Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, due to his status, he cannot enter my Immortality Temple."
Lu Qing stroked his beard and thought to himself.
This painting was inspired by the teachings of his ancestors, and he drew it in conjunction with the right time, place, and people. It also contains some scriptures from the Sutra of Immortality.
Being able to resonate with this painting, there is no doubt that this leader Guo has great potential to cultivate immortality.
It is a pity that none of the more than 10 disciples in my temple can resonate with this picture.
Lu Qing shook his head and looked at Guo Changyong with softened eyes.
After returning to the temple to meditate, he realized that there was almost no spiritual energy in the world. Shocked, Lu Qing hurriedly flipped through the Sutra of Immortality and finally found a passage left by Lin Yuan in it.
The general meaning is that this world is in the age of Dharma-ending. Although the Sutra of Immortality leads directly to the fairyland, in order to leverage the spiritual energy, it is necessary to spread the Taoism widely and let it gather the power of everyone to reverse the will of heaven and earth.
Guo Changyong woke up from the illusion. Before he could speak, he saw Lu Qing's smiling face:
"Team Leader Guo has a destiny with our Immortal Sect!"
"Monster Lu, I don't understand, what do you mean by fate?" Guo Changyong asked doubtfully.
Lu Qing laughed and said: "That's a good thing! I already know the purpose of Team Leader Guo's visit. I can become younger because of the help of the ancestor, but at the same time, the ancestor also taught the real method of cultivating immortals!"
The true method of cultivating immortality!
Everyone's eyes became intense. Doesn't this mean that they can also attain enlightenment and become immortals?
"Taoist Master Lu, how can you be willing to teach immortal magic?" Guo Changyong said excitedly.
"The Patriarch took pity on all sentient beings who were trapped in the world of mortals and could not enter the world, so he specially gave them immortal magic. Naturally, I, Lu Qing, will not hide them."
Lu Qing took out a wooden box from his arms, opened it and placed it in front of Guo Changyong.
There was a piece of white paper inside, protected on all sides by velvet.
"The true method of cultivating immortals is copied on this piece of paper, which is enough for 10 people to memorize and practice. Remember, only those with the potential to cultivate immortals can see the scriptures in it after looking at it for 10 seconds." Lu Qing explained.
Everyone immediately stared at the white paper in the box.
Ten seconds later, Guo Changyong looked at the "Eternal Spring Sutra" in his mind, his eyes brightened, and he put away the box with great care.
"Thank you so much, Master! I didn't know this kind of blank paper..." Guo Changyong hesitated to speak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I can only make one piece a day. You can arrange your own time to get it." Lu Qing said.
"The viewer is righteous!"
Guo Changyong was moved by Lu Qing's selfless dedication and bowed deeply.
Lu Qing accepted it calmly. Although he had selfish motives, he could bear the kindness of teaching the Dharma.
…
In Yuan's House, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, with a small snake-like white breath moving back and forth between his nose.
As a being with two sides in one body, and the possible seed of the condensation of Taoism in the forest, he naturally has some authority.
Therefore, Lin Yuan did not hesitate to use his authority. Anyone who practices through the Immortality Sutra will have 30% of their magic power.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, with a bright light. A breeze blew through the room, and the disposable paper cup on the opposite coffee table broke into two pieces.
"In just one and a half days, not only did I successfully enter the Qi refining stage, but I also learned the wind blade technique. It's hard to imagine how fast I will practice when more people practice immortality in the future!"
Lin Yuan stood up with satisfaction. From now on, he is no longer a mortal!
"It's a pity that the world's tolerance for extraordinary people is still very low at present. Just relying on cultivation, the current level of Qi refining is the limit." Lin Yuan patted his clothes and said.
This world was exerting pressure on him all the time. If it hadn't been for the possibility that the previous seeds of possibility had opened a gap in the rules, Lin Yuan suspected that the meager mana in his body might have dissipated directly.
Lin Yuan looked around and felt that something was missing.
By the way, where is my protector?
Lin Yuan walked around to the front of the sofa with his head full of black threads, and sure enough, Lina was hugging the shark doll tightly and sleeping soundly. The corners of her mouth were still moving, maybe she was dreaming of something delicious.
"Hey, Lina, wake up." Lin Yuan shook her body and said.
"Bing, the ice cream mountain is going to collapse." Lina said drowsily, hugging the shark doll tighter like an octopus.
"I'm sorry, Lina. I didn't want to, but the situation is urgent now, so I can only wrong you."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and his expression became firm.
It is a sin to forcibly wake up a lovely girl from her sleep, but just now, he saw the reminder he sent a day ago, and the backlash of time and space has come, and the location is in America.
Who knows what has happened to the Americas after one day has passed! Seclusion is a waste of time!
Lin Yuan mentally mourned for one second of silence for America, stretched out two fingers, and pinched Lina's nose.
1 second, 2 seconds... Lina's eyelashes trembled, she let go of her hands, and opened her eyes. Lin Yuan quickly retracted his hands, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep!" Lina looked at Lin Yuan beside her, her face turned red, she straightened up and apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay. Next, I'm going to trouble you again. There's a pollution coming." Lin Yuan said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
"When are you leaving?"
"Now."
The space-time backlash brought about by every possible seed cannot be underestimated. If Lin Yuan relied on himself, he could only use the possible seeds to solve the problem. The result would be a new space-time backlash, forming a vicious cycle.
Fortunately, because of the spiritual connection, Lina was also brought here by Daoxing Linyuan. A quasi-celestial star can make the small world formed by itself exert terrifying power even if it is isolated from the great source.
…
One day ago, on the other side of the ocean, in a country known as the land of freedom, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Shet, it's this shitty weather again." Sharif wrapped his cotton coat tightly and raised his middle finger to the sky.
Under heavy dark clouds and a steady drizzle falling on the city, homeless people like Sharif had to get up from the streets quickly and find a new place to lie down.
"Get away, this is the Black Wolf's territory!"
"Want to have a taste of your fist! Rubbish!"
Sharif fled in embarrassment from under the eaves of every house, with curses chasing behind him.
"Oh my God, I swear! If I were given a dry place to hide from the rain, I would kiss his toes passionately!"
Sharif murmured to himself, casually pulled a white plastic bag from the trash can and put it on his head.
Perhaps his sincerity moved God. When he ran around a street corner, a bridge appeared in front of him, and its bridge hole was not occupied!
Sharif grinned, and his two thin legs regained strength, wading through the puddles and rushing into the bridge hole.
“Thank God! It’s really nice here!”
Sharif took off the plastic bag and said happily.
What surprised him even more was that there were fried chicken and Coke scattered on the ground!
Sharif quickly picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth without paying attention to the dust.
"GuluGulu, what is this?"
In the dim bridge cave, bright red light squirmed.
Come, come~
The gentle voice was like a woman's hand, pulling Sharif forward involuntarily.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Sharif's eyes were full of obsession, and he embraced the existence on the wall of the bridge.
In the darkness, the squirming sound sped up, and the fried chicken stained with saliva rolled to the ground and was once again covered in a layer of dust.
A huge city will not remember the disappearance of a few homeless people, but the appetite for existence in the darkness is increasing every moment.
Early the next morning, the Empire City Police Department was shaken, sirens sounded throughout the city, and police cars and helicopters stepped on full throttle and rushed to the Empire Bridge.
"Shet, what is this! Is today April Fool's Day?"
As soon as he arrived at the scene, the police sergeant spat on the ground and cursed angrily.
"Those damn reporters are still pushing forward. Is the news so important? Are they crazy?"
The mayor's mentality also exploded. He came to the river, slapped the railing vigorously and said.
The once majestic Empire Bridge has been broken into two parts and inserted into the sea water. The broken steel cables swayed in the sea breeze, looking particularly desolate.
The monster resembles the burning cypress tree in Van Gogh's starry sky, twisting and circling, growing towards the sky.
Thousands of red light spots wandered on its surface, and a hazy black mist slowly rose, exuding an ominous aura.
Instead of running away, the surrounding people gathered on the shore and looked at the monster excitedly.
"Oh, my God, this is such a cute little monster! He played a little joke on all of us. He is so naughty."
"Hey, friends, I'm your climbing anchor Stephen. This thing doesn't look easy to mess with, but Stephen is going to climb on its head!"
The scene was chaotic.
The mayor and the police chief looked at these crazy citizens with helpless expressions. Neither the horn nor the pepper spray could drive them away.
"Eat, eat! No energy!"
The monster from another time and space stretched out its body, but could not extract any energy from the air, and its mood became more and more irritable.
At this moment, several citizens of Empire City jumped on it, and the monster's whole body pulsated like flames.
"Roar!"
Amidst the thundering screams, countless black threads hung down from its body, covering the sky and piercing the hearts of the onlookers.
"help me!"
People rolled their eyes and said with trembling lips.
Gudonggudong.
One after another, bulges were transported from the black silk to the monster, and people's bodies shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the black threads were pulled away, the mummy's body disintegrated into dust.
"ah!"
"Eat people, this monster can eat people!"
"Run away, run away! This is Satan's devil!"
The other citizens woke up from their sluggishness and fled the shore while crawling on the ground. Some people were trampled on the ground and soon died.
"Destroy it!" the Sheriff shouted as he picked up the walkie-talkie.
In an instant, a torrent of bullets and missile fire focused on the monster.
The black fog has been dispersed.
"do you died?"
"Just die."
Just when everyone was relaxing and thinking that the monster was dead, the mayor said with a livid face and trembling lips:
"It's not dead, it's not dead! It's coming along the river!"
The helicopter pilot didn't know the situation, how did you know?
The police chief raised his eyebrows and was about to ask the mayor.
Suddenly, the mayor's body trembled, like a deflated balloon, shriveled up and turned into dust.
A black thread danced, and behind it, the broad Imperial River had completely turned into a river of black threads, with terrifying red lights flowing in it, like evil gazes!
"It's really coming," the police chief said bitterly, feeling cold in his heart.
