In the alchemy room of the Dihuomen, Wei Changsong and his party were talking with Daoist Dihuo.
"I've explained the situation to the Taoist priest, please think again." Although Wei Changsong's cultivation was far superior to that of Daoist Daoist, there was no sign of contempt on his face.
Naturally, Daoist Dihuo can't offend such a famous holy place like the Temple of Heaven, he nodded his head and said with righteous indignation: "I didn't expect that girl who looks quite well-behaved to be the enemy of the Holy Land, and I was almost deceived by her." what!"
"Does the Taoist priest know where that person has gone now?" Wei Changsong didn't want to talk useless with the Daoist Daoist. He knew that the target of this pursuit had escaped from the hands of the national teacher, and this alone showed that the other party was definitely not easy to mess with. It's hard to find her trace now, if she is allowed to escape again, it will definitely be more difficult to kill her in the future.
"I know, I know, this kid is not greedy enough to actually try to steal the treasures of heaven and earth in my medicine garden. She must have been stopped by the monsters who protect the law at this time!" Daoist Dihuo laughed so hard that he couldn't say anything. Proud, he originally only wanted to use Yun Qing and the others to get rid of the monsters, so that he could take away the medicinal materials. Who would have thought that Lu Tiantan would pop up on the way and say that that person was the target they wanted to hunt and kill, so he could be regarded as doing Lu Tiantan a great favor. Maybe Lu Tiantan can give him a guest, and he can be regarded as hugging Lu Tiantan's thigh.
Wei Changsong refused to comment. He felt that from the point of view of the girl destroying the altar, the other party was indeed doing things by hook and by crook, and she would not have any psychological barriers because of this behavior. However, she really didn't need to make a fuss on this way of escape, and the real person of Earth Fire had a very bad temper at first sight, so she might have been entrapped by the real person of Earth Fire, and Lu Tiantan took advantage of it.
Although Wei Changsong wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, he still wasn't happy with this kind of bargain.
"Come on, let's go to Houshan Herbal Garden to have a look."
A group of people followed him silently, turned and left the alchemy room, and the coercion they formed dissipated instantly.
A few drops of sweat fell on the forehead of Dahuo Daoist, but his expression became more and more joyful.
"Master, Master!" Qingchen has been suppressed by these ten cultivators who have entered the Taoist altar and was speechless. At this time, he opened his mouth pale when those people left.
"What's the matter?" Master Earthfire has always been very patient with his only obedient and intelligent disciple.
Qingchen plucked up his courage and said: "It's not Shizun, you let those seniors go to the medicine garden to help you..."
"Qingchen, you are still young and don't know the art of knowing people. Master has long seen that those people are not good people, so he tricked them to the thousand-year-old tree spirit in the back mountain... Wait, Qingchen, where are you going! ?”
Qingchen couldn't listen anymore, he felt that the tall figure of Master in his heart collapsed at once.
"Several seniors! Several seniors!" Qing Chen shouted loudly while chasing, "Several seniors, please wait!"
Wei Changsong and the others had already heard his shouts, but they were unwilling to stop, for fear that the girl would run away after such a short delay.
Qingchen watched them gradually disappear in the mountain guard formation, feeling a sense of despair.
※※※
The dryad in the back mountain was once the companion monster of a certain ancestor, and has been raised by the ancestors of the Earth Fire Sect as a guardian spirit beast. It's a pity that although the dryad has a long lifespan, it is born with low intelligence and is not easy to domesticate like other monsters. The Earth Fire Sect has been in decline for many years, and it is supported by a few new disciples every year. But a hundred years ago when walking through the Temple of Heaven and stepping over the thirteen barriers, the seniors of the Earth Fire Sect had to close the mountain in order to protect the inheritance. The monster beasts that could be suppressed by the strength of the doormen, are now gradually out of control.
That senior has been in Taoism for five hundred years, and even if his companion monster falls because of the original owner, his cultivation level will never be worse.
As soon as Wei Changsong and the others rushed out of the mountain protection formation, what they saw were emerald green vines covering the sky and the sun.
Once monsters and beasts enter the Taoist stage, they will have a certain assimilative effect on the surrounding creatures. This tree demon is in a medicine garden with dense plants and mixed spiritual energy, and this demonization is even more obvious. The vines tangle into twisted shapes and are covered in thick sap mucus. There were so many clusters of vines that even covered the tree demon itself, they couldn't tell where it was its body and which were ordinary trees demonized by it. This thing has tenacious vitality, and its root system covers almost half of the back mountain. It is not easy to pass through here.
Of course, this kind of "not easy" is for ordinary practitioners who have entered the Tao.
"Fix the formation!" Wei Changsong sensed the huge demonic aura and dared not neglect it.
He raised the bronze long sword in his hand high, and the cold light of the sword's edge disappeared in a flash. He plunged the long sword into the ground fiercely, and there was a faint glow of blood under the soil. A soundless howl came from the ground, apparently Wei Changsong had just hit the tree demon's taproot in one fell swoop.
The remaining nine people centered on Wei Changsong, and the sacrificial utensils in their hands emitted a warm white light. These white lights trembled, rippling violently as if a boulder had been thrown into the water.
Wei Changsong drew his sword, the tip of the sword was already stained with the blood of the monster, and the white light gathered on his sword tip like a pack of wolves attracted by the smell of blood.
"Standing on the blade of calamity in vain, washing away disasters and sins! A gentleman is holy and virtuous, helping all evils!"
That point of white light spread out from the tip of the sword, like rippling ripples in circles, and all monsters touched by the white light melted away. In a few breaths, the surrounding area was swept away into a barren land.
In the corner of the medicine garden, the body of the monster was also exposed. It is a big banyan tree with an old man's face.
Wei Changsong only glanced at it, and didn't kill it all. There must be a thin line in everything, since this monster has already attained the Tao, it can be regarded as the spirit of heaven and earth.
Respect the life of any living thing, because as long as there is a living thing, no one else can decide its own life and death for it. Those who kill indiscriminately will be rewarded by the reincarnation of heaven, so most orthodox practitioners are unwilling to commit more crimes. Most of them rely on their strength to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those who bully the weak come from casual cultivators. How is this life of killing for the sake of killing different from those beasts without intelligence? At least the beast still kills to survive.
Respect for life is the first lesson of humane practice.
However, the fact that Yun Qing mixed into the Hundred Flowers Festival and polluted the altar has risen to the level of threatening the orthodoxy, and the two cannot be considered the same. For these law enforcement disciples in the Temple of Heaven, they generally would rather commit crimes than leave behind a threat to the orthodoxy.
"Chasing!" Wei Changsong felt that the girl they were chasing before had alarmed the monster when it passed by. The other party must have fled along this road by now, so they could only search mountain after mountain.
Not long after the group of them left, the light around the old-fashioned banyan tree suddenly distorted, and the illusion slowly dissipated like a mirage.
There was a big hole in the trunk of the banyan tree. Aman was holding Zheng Zhenzhen in one hand and Yun Qing in the other, and stood in the hole blankly.
Yun Qing got down from Aman's body, and said to Zheng Zhenzhen who was full of nervousness: "Come down, they left, and we have to follow behind them."
"This, this, this, this...don't they kill us?" Zheng Zhenzhen still didn't realize what happened.
She remembered that Yun Qing led her into the pile of emerald green vines, and Aman used brute force to open a way, rushing to the old banyan tree and tearing a big hole in the tree. When Yun Qing and she both stood in the cave, it happened that the few law enforcement disciples who walked on the Temple of Heaven also arrived. The tree demon was writhing in pain because of the injury to its body, but was defeated by those Lu Tiantan disciples in the blink of an eye, and the demonized herbs around it also suffered.
The surrounding trees were cleaned up. Zheng Zhenzhen thought they would be caught by Lu Tiantan, but the leader just glanced at the big hole and took them away!
"They didn't see it." Yun Qing's face was a little unsightly. Just now, she used too much energy to perform the mirage usurper technique.
The Book of Inheritance Mirage and Floating Dreams that I got in that ruined temple earlier came in handy this time. The low-level techniques here may not be able to deceive more than a dozen advanced Taoist practitioners, so Yun Qing tried her best to use the more complicated illusion technique in the mirage book, that is, the mirage usurping technique.
This illusion can only be used at least at the level of Dao cultivation, but Yun Qing can barely make the effect of this technique by borrowing a little trick from the heavenly scriptures. It's just that this can't compare to the real mirage usurping shadow technique, if Wei Changsong had been more ruthless just now, and then struck at the place where they were hiding, then Yun Qing probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"Are you okay?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked worriedly, she put her hand on Yun Qing's wrist, and gave her some anger.
Yun Qing felt that she was about to counterattack when she felt that the alien force had penetrated her body, but this almost instinctive excessive defense was quickly suppressed by her. Zheng Zhenzhen really lacked a brain. If both parties had no absolute trust in each other, they would never have dared to lose their true energy so directly.
"Okay, let's go." Yun Qing looked better, and withdrew her hand, "Now we can't follow too close or too far... When we reach the northwest grassland, we will bypass them and go straight to Daxue Mountain."
Zheng Zhenzhen nodded vigorously.
※※※
In Jiuming City, for some reason, the sky is extremely dark today, as if something is covering up the warm autumn sun.
Xie Yao was the only one in the tea shop. Everyone else was eating lunch. Xie Yao felt less afraid of being hungry after washing the marrow and cutting the bones, and he did not want to fight for food with a group of vicious men.
Xie Yao lazily stared at the pot of heaven and earth, while recalling the various adventures with Yun Qing, feeling like a dream.
"Brother Xie, why do you want to practice Taoism?" Uncle Cha poured him a bowl of rough tea, his hands trembling slightly.
Xie Yao broke out of his thoughts, and said without thinking, "In order to be worthy of a fairy I adore."
Old Uncle Cha smiled, his hoarse laughter was like a broken bellows, it was very ugly: "Hahaha, idiot, idiot, do you know that what you practice is the way of forgetting love?"
"What?" Xie Yao didn't understand why, "I didn't practice Taoism?"
"Have you ever seen that stone tablet in Shinto, do you know what is written on it?" Uncle Cha asked.
Xie Yao was touched by him, and suddenly remembered what Yun Qing said, it seemed to be something...
"That's a remnant of "Tai Shang Sen Lu", which is the introductory mentality of the Shenyin sect's unique school of Tai Shang Dao." Uncle Cha laughed even harder when he saw him burying his head in deep thought.
"Ah!! So I have already obtained the inheritance of the fairy family!!?" Xie Yao jumped up in surprise, and accidentally knocked over the tea that was just poured by the old tea uncle.
Xie Yao realized that he was rude, he quickly apologized, and rolled up his sleeves to help Uncle Cha clean up.
As a result, Uncle Cha waved his hand, motioning him to look at the teacup.
Time seemed to be reversed on the teacup. The teacup stood up again along the track that had just fallen, and the water flowed back into the cup again. The tabletop was as dry as ever, and it seemed that the incident that Xie Yao accidentally knocked over the cup had never happened.
"This, this is the fairy method!?" Xie Yao was too shocked to speak.
Uncle Cha shook his head, laughed and said, "It's not illegal, it's the Tao."
Xie Yao didn't understand, he grabbed the old uncle Cha's thin arm and said, "I beg the immortal master to teach me the art of cultivation!"
"I don't know anything about immortality, so don't call me an immortal master." Uncle Cha's smile was a little sinister.
"Daoyuan has never regretted seeking the Tao all his life. He is willing to give up the world of mortals and ask Qingyun!" Xie Yao said firmly, he already understood that this old man is a master with great supernatural powers.
"Hahaha, another idiot who means Qingyun!" Uncle Cha couldn't stop laughing, "Since you are a disciple of the Immortal Sect, how about I teach you the inheritance of the Immortal Dao?"
"I would like to hear the details!" Xie Yao said excitedly, he did not expect to meet such an expert after being exiled in such a remote ancient border city.
"This method is called the Five Thunders' Righteous Method, and it is designed to destroy evil spirits and heretics." Uncle Cha pointed at his forehead.
A cyan lightning mark appeared on Xie Yao's forehead, and then quickly faded away. He felt that there were many things in his mind.
Just when he seemed to realize something, the sky suddenly darkened, as if the night fell in an instant, and there was no more light.
"Hu Hanmei from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is here to visit, why don't you come out and see him, Lord Saint?"
The soft and desolate voice resounded throughout the southern hills.
Outside the city, the brass chariot pulled by four ancient giant beasts was surrounded by mountains and seas of monsters respectfully. A beautiful woman sat in the chariot and gave orders with a smile.
"Slaughter the city, leave no one behind."
