Yu Xian realized it for a while and continued to practice.
When you are exhausted, go to a nearby reed to meditate and rest.
In this way, the peach tree grew taller and taller in front of everyone.
The branches are thick and the branches and leaves are luxuriant.
The officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army were certainly amazed, and the defenders on the sword pavilion could not help but make a fuss.
Even Chen Tiao was alarmed and went up to the Guanlou to check. After looking at it for a long time, Chen Tiao didn't understand.
He pretended to be old-fashioned and reassured the troops, "It's just some useless deception. They can't defeat the sword pavilion, and they want to use these methods to confuse the morale of our troops, but they are really doing it. But these are nothing, but they make it look like they are helpless."
In the evening, the old Taoist Chongxuanzi came to Shishi.
Yu Xian quickly stood up and said, "Master."
Chong Xuanzi looked at the thick and tall peach tree in the center of the altar and nodded with satisfaction, "Your understanding is indeed extraordinary. Compared with me doing it myself, it is still far behind."
Naturally, Yu Xian didn't take it seriously, and immediately laughed and said, "This disciple is just integrating some past experiences and understanding them. I don't deserve Master's praise."
"Oh? Tell me." The old Taoist asked with interest.
Yu Xian did not hide his secrets, and shared his thoughts with the old Taoist, "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies when there are more damages. It is midsummer now, and thousands of trees are luxuriant. This demon peach is dead and lifeless. It is absorbed by my Taoism from the surroundings."
The breath of life transforms death into life, which is in line with the will of heaven. We act in accordance with nature, but we do nothing in accordance with nature."
The old Taoist couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Since you said that, how will you follow nature when Yaotao grows stronger?"
Yu Xian had obviously already thought about it.
He immediately smiled and said, "Although the teacher is testing me, he has already let me know the answer. Although the demon peach is strong, it cannot blossom and bear fruit, and it is not considered perfect after all. As long as it has this shortcoming, it can naturally draw endless supplies for it from the world.
strength."
Strength is only one aspect. In front of Heaven, no matter how powerful an ant is, it is still just an ant. What Heaven cares more about should be the integrity of the rules.
The old Taoist nodded after hearing this, shook his head, and said with emotion, "These are just some guesses on my part. God's will is unpredictable, and we ascetics should always be in awe."
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist said to Yu Xian, "With you presiding here, I will feel more at ease as a teacher. I will go back to the camp with your uncle Chijinzi later. If anything happens, just call the Taoist boy next to you."
Report."
Yu Xian had long known about Chongxuanzi's dislike of the Yizhou Mufu. This old man could do this for the Yizhou army today, which was already a embarrassment for him.
Yu Xian immediately said, "Master, even if you go back, even if you encounter any problems, my disciple will not be without the ability to fight."
If he really encounters trouble, with Zhao Wei and other soldiers and horses on hand to contain him, Yu Xian will be very confident that he can escape from Pang De.
"Huh?" The old Taoist looked at Yu Xian for a few times after hearing this, and smiled, "I think you have some opportunities. However, don't forget the test when you started. Taoists always have to leave room for themselves when doing things.
.”
The old Taoist made a few remarks and then said, "Tomorrow at noon, this demon peach will bloom. At that time, I will ask Liu Yan to come and pay homage. These days, you will be here to fully understand this matter of life and death."
If you succeed, you should be able to understand what longevity is."
Yu Xian immediately said solemnly, "Disciple understands."
The old Taoist turned around and left, sighing softly, "It's difficult, it's difficult, don't take practice for granted. Once you understand the way to immortality, you will know that the world is a human world."
Yu Xian looked at the old Taoist's back thoughtfully, but he couldn't explain the feeling.
It was also because of the old Taoist reminder that Yu Xian was a little more thoughtful. Now Chen Tiao and Pang De were indifferent to their peach planting, but that didn't mean they could still sit back and watch when the demon peaches were so big that they covered Jianmen Pass.
You need to make some preparations yourself.
Yu Xian thought for a while, then got down from the altar and entered Lu Peng.
All the Taoist boys bowed and said, "I have met Master Uncle."
"Yes." Yu Xian responded, sat down on the middle table, pulled a piece of yellow paper from the table, and wrote down various materials for setting up the eight-door golden lock array.
Yu Xian's knowledge was quite complex. When he was passed down by Wu Qi, he learned the four tactics of war: calling for wind and rain, scattering beans to form soldiers, blowing smoke, and men and horses like dragons. Because the triggering branches were different, he also dabbled a little in Gao He's secret skills.
, Qi Men Dun Jia.
It's just that Wu Qi's own knowledge base does not have knowledge about Qimen Dunjia. Wu Qi took a set of eight-door golden lock array to make up for it.
In essence, Qi Men Dun Jia is a super military art on the same level as a man, horse, and dragon. The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, which belongs to the Qi Men Dun Jia category, is naturally very powerful.
Moreover, this eight-door golden lock formation was the most flexible to deal with changes in the front of the army. Yu Xian relied on this military technique and the powerful Tian He with the addition of three movements to deal with it.
Yu Xian scanned it around and handed the yellow paper to Yuan Jing, "Take this to see Zhou Mu and tell him that it is the material I need. You must get it together and send it before noon tomorrow."
Yu Xian is now working for the Yizhou Mufu, so of course there is nothing to be polite about.
After Yuan Jing left, Yu Xian rested for a while in Lu Peng, and then went to the altar again to help the demon peach grow.
Soon it was night, and the sky was filled with stars like jewels. Yu Xian sat under the demon peach, adjusting his breath while thinking about what was in his heart.
The moonlight fell, illuminating the altar of silver and white.
Chen Tiao felt restless and went up to the Guan Tower again. From the top of the Guan Tower, he looked at the Taoist priest under the peach tree from a distance.
Yu Xian felt something in his heart and opened his eyes to look.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
Yu Xian had a slight feeling in his heart and was a little surprised. This Chen Yuanhua seemed to have some chance with me.
Yu Xian didn't think much and continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Early on the next morning, soldiers from Yizhou Mufu came to escort the materials Yu Xian asked for. Yu Xian sorted it out, took out a few items, and directed the Taoist boys to bury them under the corresponding flags.
More than an hour later, soldiers and horses arrived one after another.
When the sword gate was closed and there were reinforcements, I gradually became nervous.
Fortunately, these soldiers and horses did not show any intention to attack. These people joined Zhao Wei's team and were on guard outside Jianmen Pass.
Near noon, Liu Yan, escorted by a group of cronies, also came to the pass.
Liu Yan surrounded the already huge peach tree and admired it, then he cupped his hands at Yu Xian and said with a smile, "Thank you, the Imperial Master."
Yu Xian responded casually and reminded, "The time is coming, Zhou Mu, don't delay."
After hearing this, Liu Yan's expression became serious, "Taoist Master Zhongxuanzi has already given the order, and Liu knows how to act."
Yu Xian nodded, "Very good."
Liu Yan then followed Yu Xian's example and sat cross-legged on the altar, waiting for the time.
Not long after waiting, a faint fragrance came like a thread.
Yu Xian and Liu Yan opened their eyes at the same time.
Looking up, buds were already sprouting on the huge demon peach tree.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms bloomed all over the tree.
Yu Xian had never imagined what it would be like for such a huge peach tree to bloom.
At this moment, he was standing under the huge peach blossom tree, looking at the wrapped pink petals, as if he was in a beautiful dream.
Although he couldn't bear it, Yu Xian still came to his senses and reminded Liu Yan, who was already stunned, "Zhou Mu, the time has come."
