Xia Ji knew that he would be found out sooner or later, so he did not read a book and went straight to the top of the Zhenwu Pavilion's library. His eyes swept and quickly settled on some ancient books.
Those ancient books are still easy to distinguish. They exude an oily smell that maintains the paper pages, and the pages are yellowed.
He had no hesitation,
Between waving long sleeves,
A strong wind flies like a dragon,
The pages of the book were blown by the wind, making a "swishing" sound.
Immediately, it fell from the bookshelf like a butterfly and floated in the air.
Xia Ji closed his sleeves again, and all the books were sucked in and fell into the storage space in his sleeves.
After collecting these books, he threw out a piece of paper, raised his hand to grab a pen, and wrote on it:
There are books in the pavilion. Their meanings are very mysterious. I yearn for them very much. I will borrow them today without asking, but I will definitely return them tomorrow.
After finishing writing, Xia Ji waved his hand.
The paper was stuck on the wall, swaying slightly in the wind.
And he quickly headed downstairs. He had already spotted the stream surrounding Zhenwu Pavilion.
After walking a few steps, the figure disappeared, leaving only a pool of Five Elements water on the ground.
The water moves,
flowed into the stream,
Then it moves outward with the endless stream of water.
Everything is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, as fast as thunder through the sky, so fast that no one has any reaction time.
The tenth level of the crimson skill beads has such a bug.
This made Xia Ji truly turn into water for a short time.
It's not an illusion, it's not a Dharma form.
Just like the tenth level of Little Black Dragon Qi turned his right hand into a black dragon claw.
The mountain-protecting formation of Zhenwu Pavilion can actually react to the passage of anyone, even in water form. After all, it was passed down from ancient times.
However, this also requires the disciples in charge of the Zhenwu Pavilion to activate the grand formation.
But, they obviously didn't start.
Because activation also requires a huge amount of consumption, not to mention that activation requires the nod of approval from people at the headmaster level. The headmaster is now leading a team to participate in the battle of Taoism and law, and is obviously not in the door.
The deputy head coach is aware of this, but would you rashly activate a trump card like the "Mountain Protection Formation" just because a fly got into your house
No one would make this decision.
Neither can Chi Yanzi, the deputy headmaster of Zhenwu Pavilion.
Unless he knew it wasn't a fly, but a raptor.
But Xia Ji would not give him time to understand this.
Therefore, when Xia Ji left the Zhenwu Pavilion, several figures in Taoist robes stood on the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion.
The first white-haired veteran glanced at the bookshelf.
The bookshelf is neatly stocked, but there are only a dozen books missing.
He looked strange, because the collection of books here is for all disciples. In other words, they are not inheritance of techniques, but tend to be information materials.
What would someone do to steal the books here
He raised his voice and said, "Check which Taoist treasures have been lost."
Another Taoist suddenly said: "Uncle Chi Yanzi, there is a piece of paper here, it seems to be left by that person."
Chi Yanzi looked sideways, then raised his hand and sucked it in, and the letter was in his hand.
"There are books in the pavilion. Their meanings are very mysterious. I yearn for them very much. If I borrow them today, will I return them tomorrow?"
He frowned, "Borrow books? Return them? I didn't expect this to be quite elegant."
Soon…
The lost Daozang has been counted.
The result is that there is no name, and the one registered in the ancient book is the first, and the second in the ancient book. Such a name is usually placed on the fifth floor and no one cares about it.
Chi Yanzi was stunned, and then said: "Strengthen surveillance. If he wants to go out, he will definitely pass by the mountain guarding formation. Although the token can go in and out, it will definitely cause fluctuations, and we will be able to detect it then."
"Yes, uncle!"
"yes!"
A group of people shot out again, scattered in all directions, and searched everywhere.
But they were destined not to find Xia Ji.
Because Xia Ji had already landed ashore at this time,
He was wearing a green Taoist robe, and the sleeves of his clothes were floating in the wind in the early morning light. The spring scenery was very warm. He bent down and picked up a handful of water and drank it.
The streams on Abbot Island can be described as fairy water, full of spiritual energy and refreshing and mellow in the mouth.
The stream water slipped away from the fingertips and broke into tiny sparkling beads, which were dazzling.
He sat for a while and suddenly raised his hand and took out a piece of double-winged dragon jade. This was the magic weapon "Dragon Travels Thousands of Miles" and was given to him by the "rich woman" Su Tian.
"You have to pick up the book early, otherwise it will be difficult once the information spreads."
Xia Ji murmured and looked to the southeast, where the Jiuding Dan Palace is located.
This force is located in the Medicine Valley of Fangzhang Mountain, which is full of fairy mushrooms and spiritual grass. The head of the palace is a master of alchemy.
The valley is mysterious and there is very little information about it.
Even in Jinyufang, most of the information heard is such as "A certain person is seriously injured, and only the pills from Jiuding Dan Palace can save him", "Jiuding Dan Palace is really powerful, it is said that it can force his life to last for hundreds of years." Medicines can be made", "It would be great if I could find a Taoist companion from the Jiuding Dan Palace"...
Xia Ji murmured to himself: "It's not that easy to forcefully extend one's life."
Even if he has not opened up the Dharma Aperture and penetrated the eight meridians of the Dharma Body, his lifespan in the human world is only more than a hundred years. In a place with abundant spiritual energy like Abbot Island or aristocratic family, he can live to three years. After more than a hundred years, he is not much different from ordinary people.
The point is that revealing the Dharmakaya is just the beginning, which indicates that you have entered another level of life. However, only by clearing the channels and openings can you obtain the complete Dharmakaya, truly enter another level of life, and gain longevity. millennium.
Of course, he could give up his human identity and exist in the world by transforming into the Black Emperor, but from now on he would be unable to practice or progress. If he doesn't advance, he will retreat. Others are getting stronger, but he remains unchanged. The ending is certain. Very bad.
He turned his head and looked to the north, where Xuantian Temple was located.
Xuantian Temple is said to be the place where ancient immortals went to be buried in order to become immortals. Today, the jar is still there, but it cannot be opened. This made Xia Ji think of "those family gods that the Su family cannot invite out." As well as the five beings that can be sealed in the five-color divine order, the principles of these things seem to be very similar.
The five-color divine order is privately owned by oneself.
Family gods exist because of family trees.
So, why do the immortals who receive the punishment for death exist
He recalled the information he heard in Jinyufang.
"Xuantian Temple does not have a collection of books to the outside world, but requires a lot of points to enter the book pavilion. There is only one floor of the book pavilion, but the books contained therein are all precious.
The Taoist priests of Xuantian Temple are also the strongest people on this island. They are fierce and eager to win. In other words, they need to force their way into this place.
But with the existence of the ancient mountain-protecting formation, once targeted by the formation, it would be difficult to fly. "
Xia Ji thought for a moment, turned to the southeast, and directly crushed the "Dragon Traveling Thousand Miles",
In one step,
His body has moved like a wild dragon,
Disappeared in place and appeared at the entrance of the medicine valley in the far distance.
In the medicine valley in late spring, the green peaks are like fans and open like doors.
The winding mountain road is like a long white stretch.
Above Bai Lian, there were scattered flying swords passing back and forth. Most of the flying swords were heading towards the valley, obviously seeking elixirs or medical treatment.
Even when walking here, I feel that the medicinal herbs have a strong smell, which may be medicinal or poisonous, so I cannot walk around.
Xia Ji took a look and said with emotion, "There seems to be no difference between the outside world and the human world. Mortals seek medical treatment, but real people don't need to seek elixirs."
He did not enter through the main entrance, and he could not enter the Jiuding Dan Palace through the main entrance, because all the alchemy seekers were waiting outside the palace.
There was a long queue of people waiting. If the real people in Dan Palace wanted to see him, they could see him. If they didn't want to see him, they could just wait for a few days and nights, or wait until they died of old age.
Naturally, Xia Ji would not wait.
In the blink of an eye, he had climbed to a peak here and looked into the distance.
You can vaguely see a suspended immortal palace located deep in the Medicine Valley.
The Immortal Palace was hazy, and a white dragon-like waterfall swooped down from the mist in the distance, passed through the Immortal Palace, and turned into a waterfall and fell into the lake below the Immortal Palace, making a rumbling sound.
Xia Ji observed the terrain, looking for how to enter and exit.
Suddenly, he felt a layer of dirty black appear on the surface of his skin.
After thinking for a while, it turned out that the herbs here were poisonous, and he had been poisoned by walking around. However, these toxins were pumped out of the skin by the blood and floated on the surface of the body in one beat of the heart.
This should be the first defense mechanism of Yaogu.
Xia Ji thought, and the surrounding water vapor condensed, directly washing away the layer of toxins.
A figure, like wind and lightning, flew towards the back of the Jiuding Dan Palace... with a sword.
The farther back Xia Ji went, the more black appeared on Xia Ji's body. It was obvious that the toxins in the air were increasing. Jiuding Dan Palace must have deliberately planted many poisonous weeds here to prevent anyone from going upstream of the waterfall.
This is not because I am afraid that people will turn into water and flow into the palace.
Only a lunatic would consider this, right
What they are worried about is that someone is poisoning upstream.
That's why many poisonous weeds were planted.
These poisonous weeds will definitely deter many monks from doing so.
But it was of no use to Xia Ji.
If he is poisoned, his body will automatically detoxify immediately.
As a result, a faint black poisonous mist was drawn out while he was flying.
Seeing that the waterfall was in front of him, Xia Ji put away his flying sword and landed in the distance.
"Water movement."
brush! !
He suddenly turned into a gurgling stream, flowing high and low, towards the waterfall swooping down from the mist.
Beside the waterfall,
Water foam flies everywhere,
There was only a rumbling sound.
This is the middle and upper reaches of the waterfall.
At this time, there were Taoist priests and nuns in white, sitting cross-legged.
These two people are obviously disciples of Jiuding Dan Palace.
The two of them chatted while patrolling the upper reaches of the waterfall.
The young Taoist priest leaned on his sword and said sideways: "Sister, why do we send people to this Taoist dispute
The real people of other sects, or the casual cultivators, all need to rely on our elixirs and herbs. If we compete with them, wouldn't we be compromising our strengths and pursuing our weaknesses? "
The Taoist nun in white was holding a sword in the air, sitting cross-legged under a willow tree. The water spray from the waterfall was flying, but it was completely bounced away by the aura around her. She said calmly: "My nephew, you are still young and don't know this world." Big changes have already begun."
"What big change?"
"Fire Tribulation."
"ah?"
"It's a calamity, but it's also an opportunity to gain stronger strength and break through the life limit."
The white-clothed Taoist nun said calmly, "If it were in the past, my Jiuding Dan Palace would naturally ignore those people's disputes about Taoism and Dharma.
But now at the beginning of this calamity, we also need a group of disciples belonging to our Dan Palace to compete.
Otherwise, if there is no existence beyond the Dharma Realm to guard the mountain gate in the future, once our Jiuding Dan Palace encounters a stronger existence, we can only activate the mountain protection formation to destroy those who come, but we ourselves can only seal the mountain and cannot go out for a long time. "
"There is actually a realm stronger than the Dharma Realm?" The young Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became excited. He made a seal with his right hand, and the flying sword suddenly shot out and fell into his hand.
The Taoist nun in white asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Practice, I also want to become a strong man one day. Well, I can definitely do it!" The eyes of the young Taoist priest revealed vitality and hope.
The Taoist nun in white smiled and said, "Come on."
It was obviously impossible for the pair of Dan Palace disciples who were guarding the upper reaches to notice the flow of water heading towards the waterfall.
The water flows downward,
And between the mud and rocks, it meanders very naturally,
When you reach the side of the waterfall, you flow directly into it.
The water flow transformed by Xia Ji immediately turned into a part of the waterfall, rolling towards the Jiuding Dan Palace.
The world does not allow him to be too strong.
Don't let him have too much potential,
Otherwise, it will be strangled without mercy.
Therefore, he wants to become stronger,
Strong enough to ignore everything.
No one can stop him!
The water fell thousands of feet and fell from the sky, just like this general trend, breaking into the Jiuding Dan Palace.
…
…
Jiudingdan Palace is by the water.
A Taoist priest with an extraordinary temperament was sitting on the rock, blocking the Taoist boys who were sitting down, and he was chanting:
"Those who wear gold live as long as gold. The nature of gold is indestructible. It can be burned a hundred times in fire and will never fade away. It will be immortal even after being buried. Therefore, it is the treasure of all things and the source of immortality."
The Taoist boys looked at him blankly.
Finally, a boy raised his hand and said, "Teacher Yun Yazi, won't you die if you swallow gold? I once heard about a rich man who wanted to live longer, so he swallowed gold, and he died on the spot."
The Taoist was not angry, but instead smiled gently and said: "You will naturally die if you swallow gold. That's because mortals have never been able to extract the properties of gold.
They don't know about the existence of Dan Burning Technique, which is what our Jiuding Dan Palace is good at.
However, you do not need to learn how to burn elixirs, nor do you need to master the recipe, fire, weather, herbs, etc. "
Another girl raised her hand: "Teacher Yun Yazi, what do we need to learn?"
The Taoist said gently: "You all have good talents and are suitable for cultivating the Tao. Now that the great calamity has begun, it may be the time for you to be born in response to the calamity.
You came from the mortal world, and you are already separated from the immortal world. Don’t worry about the past anymore.
From now on, I should concentrate on practicing swordsmanship and become a powerful sword cultivator. I will protect the alchemy cultivator and the sect from now on. "
"yes."
A group of boys responded with milky voices.
Crash.
Xia Ji passed by them, and no one noticed that the tenth level of this crimson skill bead had such a bug.
He quietly observed the structure of the entire Jiudingdan Palace and possible places where books could be stored.
In the blink of an eye, we were almost at the exit from Dan Palace.
He twisted his body and flowed deeper along the tributary.
