Shen Qingqing replied: "Okay, I will definitely go to Jiuyi Mountain."
Qingshui said: "There is another person in Jiuyi Mountain who was suppressed by Taoist Master Taiyi. After you go there and find the Impermanence Sword, you can cut off the spiritual veins of Jiuyi Mountain and let him out."
Shen Qingqing agreed and followed the instructions of Qingshui Taoist Master to descend to Qingshui Sky under the cloud light.
On the other side, it snowed heavily in Qingxia Mountain.
The pale snow powder piled up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the trees, grass, and stones were all glistening white. But in this ice and snow, the peach and plum trees were all blooming, but they were dyed with snow powder. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to see the pink traces of the peach petals.
When the wind blows, it occasionally stirs up powdery snow, and the chill is very oppressive.
Although there are many spiritual beings in Qingxia Mountain, most of them are hiding in dry and sheltered places at this time and dare not come out.
At this time, a middle-aged man in black Taoist robes was walking on the mountain road, but he did not leave any footprints. The snow powder seemed to ignore him and passed through his body. Finally, the man came to the entrance of Qingxia Temple.
What Qingxia was looking at now was not Ye Motian, but an ape whose fur was as white as snow.
The monkey was squinting his eyes. He waited until the middle-aged Taoist was ten steps away before opening his eyes. A look of surprise appeared on the monkey's face first, and then he said: "Emperor Zhenwu."
The ape was none other than Wu Zhiqi. It was finally sent back to Qingxia Mountain by Lu Shouyi and is now the guardian of the mountain gate.
Ever since the Emperor Demon Master and others failed to ambush Shen Lian that day, Wu Zhiqi was frightened out of his wits and was willing to guard Shen Lian's door.
However, it was a leisurely guard. No one came to Qingxia Temple on weekdays. The middle-aged Taoist in front of it, Emperor Zhenwu, was the first visitor it saw.
Emperor Zhenwu has been famous for a long time, and he is a rare God of War figure among powerful people. His seniority is higher than that of Zhenjun Qingyuan Miaodao, and his cultivation is unfathomable. When Wu Zhiqi was at his peak, he did not dare to provoke this person.
Zhenwu always had an air of calmness and dignity. When he saw Wu Zhiqi, he took a second look and said, "You are a lucky monkey, and you have become a disciple of Lord Shen Tian."
Wu Zhiqi said: "The emperor is visiting my master, I will go in and inform you."
It has always been proud and arrogant, but it still admires Zhenwu very much. After all, the reputation of Zhenwu was achieved through hard work in the ancient times. The monsters in the world, whoever hears about Zhenwu, will have to say that it is awesome.
Zhenwu nodded lightly.
Wu Zhiqi hurriedly went to the inner courtyard, muttering to himself at the same time, what kind of person Zhenwu was, he came to see the master, but he was willing to wait outside. He was not an unreasonable person, and now he couldn't help but feel proud, with the last trace in his heart The unwillingness is gone.
It would not use its magical powers in Qingxia Temple, but it ran all the way, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Baiyunquan behind the temple, where Shen Lian was playing the piano.
It is wrong to say that he is playing the harp, because he neither sees nor hears the harp.
Shen Lian just put on a posture of playing the piano and fiddled with his fingers in the void, giving people the feeling that he was playing the piano intoxicatedly. Wu Zhiqi didn't understand what Shen Lian was doing, but he didn't dare to disturb him.
But when Shen Lian saw it coming, he kept holding his hands and said, "Please invite fellow Zhenwu Taoists to come in. I'll wait for it here."
Wu Zhiqi responded, went out again, and quickly attracted Zhenwu over.
In fact, if Zhenwu wanted to see Shen Lian, there was no need for Wu Zhiqi to inform him. Shen Lian would know about it if he had the idea of meeting Shen Lian. It's just that Zhenwu has to show his attitude. This is out of respect for Shen Lian.
As soon as Zhenwu saw Shen Lian, he smiled and said: "**********, the elephant is invisible, and Tianjun is really interesting."
Wu Zhiqi's cultivation level is also quite high. When it comes to fighting skills, he is ranked among the best in the world, but he cannot understand Shen Lian's behavior. Because it has developed a magical power, which is half talent and half self-enlightenment. It lacks the accumulation of worldly experience and is not a disciple of the Taoist Lord Buddha. It understands many wonderful principles, but cannot explain them thoroughly. This is called knowing what is happening but not knowing why it is happening.
Zhenwu is different. He is both a god and a demon, and he is also the famous Yujing God in Taoism. Among all the Taoist immortals, Xuandu has the greatest influence. Before he became Hunyuan Wuji, his status was not higher than him.
He could see the origin of Shen Lian's behavior at a glance.
Shen Lian smiled when he saw this, stopped and stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are indeed extraordinary."
Then the conversation changed and he said: "But I don't know what I can learn from you here."
Zhenwu squinted his eyes, looked at Shen Lian and said, "Tianjun is probably injured, right?"
Shen Lian smiled casually and said, "Yes, God is about to kill me in the past, and it will affect me now."
It turns out that Shen Lian, who was ten thousand years ago, was about to perish in the Tao Tribulation, which was reflected back to Shen Lian today.
Although his present and past are somewhat separated and not one and the same, they are still somehow connected.
Zhenwu sighed and said: "Even so, Tianjun is still the number one person in the world."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Without detachment, everything is false and not worth mentioning. Fellow Taoist, you should explain your purpose."
Zhenwu showed a look of deep approval and said seriously: "I am here today because of the entrustment of Taoist Master Taiyi."
Shen Lian said calmly: "I have heard that Taoist friend and Taoist Master Taiyi are old acquaintances. I wonder if Taoist Master Taiyi has any decrees for me."
Zhenwu Dao: "Sooner or later, Tianjun will achieve detachment, and fellow Taoist masters will be treated as equals. Of course, Taoist Taiyi has no decree for you, but he wants Tianjun to become a Taoist couple with Taoist Qingshui, and is willing to bring Taishi and Taichu together." , Taisu’s Hunyuan Dao Fruit will be told to you.”
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Tao Master is really generous. If I agree, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to complete the Five Innate Empresses. From then on, I can wait for transcendence, right?"
Zhenwu Dao: "As long as Tianjun agrees, it will be like this. Of course, even if you don't agree, you can still transcend by spending more time."
"So I have no reason to agree, but now it seems that Taoist Taiyi and the others are not completely detached, otherwise why would they interfere in the world? I understand, if this universe does not return to nothingness and break up all cause and effect, where can It can be considered truly transcendent." Shen Lian's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom.
He finally determined one thing: the transcendence of the Taoist Buddha was by no means complete.
But this is not because they are not capable enough, but because their external conditions are insufficient. Because this universe has no end, they cannot completely transcend.
Even if you erase the traces of your past, in fact you are just covering up the traces exposed on the surface with another trace that is difficult to detect.
If we want to be truly traceless and transcend everything, the universe itself that carries the traces must be annihilated before we can succeed.
It turns out that this doomsday catastrophe is not only part of the reincarnation of the great road, but also what the eight Tao masters themselves have been looking forward to.
In this way, many things will be explained.
