The back mountain of the Taoist temple.
There are towering ancient trees and jagged rocks.
Taoist Qingyou led the Qin family along a winding path and came to a cliff.
Then, he continued forward along the cliff.
There are many caves carved out on the rock wall facing the cliff, and all the stone doors are closed at this time.
There are clouds and mists under your feet and the mountain wind is whistling in your ears.
Taoist Qingyou reminded everyone to walk along the rock wall.
Luo Qingzhou personally went to the back to support Miss Qin Er.
Nangong Xueyi opened her eyes wide and looked at the two of them, then turned her head and looked at Miss Qin who was following behind. She was secretly puzzled, why didn't she help her own wife, but helped her sister-in-law
Not long.
Taoist Qingyou stopped in front of a cave and whispered a few words to a Taoist boy at the door.
The Taoist child opened the stone door and invited everyone in a childish voice to come in and sit for a while.
Taoist Qingyou led a group of people into the cave.
The cave was very simple. There was nothing in it except a cushion and a chessboard.
There isn't even a table or chairs.
Everyone in the Qin family stood in the cave, looking at each other, and did not dare to speak.
Waited for a moment again.
Suddenly, the Taoist child's voice came from outside: "Master, the guests have arrived."
When Taoist Qingyou heard the voice, he hurried to the door and said respectfully, "Master."
An old Taoist wearing a green robe and with white hair and beard walked in.
The old Taoist was tall and thin, with a ruddy complexion and kind eyes. He looked like an immortal, with a very fairy-like demeanor.
Taoist Qingyou hurried in and introduced: "This is Mr. Luo, and these are his family and friends."
Then he said, "Mr. Luo, this is our temple master, Taoist Yunshang."
Luo Qingzhou and everyone in the Qin family hurriedly bowed their heads in greeting.
Taoist Yunshang also bowed slightly in return, then carefully looked at the young scholar in front of him, nodded and said, "Mr. Luo is so young, but he has such insight and talent, which is commendable. I will not be polite about the half of the poem you continued."
Then he said directly: "I heard from Qingyou that the master's family is sick and needs Zhuyan's blood. He is willing to exchange three Taoist cultivation techniques. Is that right?"
Luo Qingzhou directly took out the three spells that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, handed them over, and said, "Master, can you take a look first?"
Taoist Yunshang waved his hand and said, "Young Master, I have to explain it to you first. I just heard Qingyou read the three cultivation techniques that you said. They are all superior techniques. I think they are indeed necessary. However, Zhuyan is not an ordinary creature, but an ancient vicious beast. Even if I go in, I will never dare to provoke it. I think there is no hope of getting blood from it unless my master takes action. But my master has already traveled everywhere and has disappeared. We can't find him. So today, I may not be able to help you."
"I will gladly accept the half poem, but as for the three cultivation methods, I am too ashamed to take them."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the Qin family looked unhappy.
Nangong Meijiao suddenly asked, "Master, where is Zhu Yan imprisoned? Can we go and get him ourselves?"
Taoist Yunshang heard this, glanced at her, and shook his head, saying, "You can't go in. Even the disciples in my Qingyun Temple don't dare to go in. Zhu Yan has a bad temper. If he smells a strange smell, he will be furious and crazy. No one can stop him."
Nangong Meijiao touched her waist and said, "Master, I want to give it a try."
Song Ruyue hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Meijiao, you can't go in! If something happens to you, how can we explain to the prince? I will never let you in."
Qin Weimo also said softly: "Sister Meijiao, there is no need to take risks. Even if I get Zhuyan's blood, my disease cannot be cured. At most, it can only delay it for a while. If something happens to you, Weimo will have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life. My Qin family will not be able to explain to the prince."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at the two of them and said, "I will protect myself, aunt, Wei Mo, don't worry about me. At least let me try, otherwise I will be unwilling to leave like this."
Song Ruyue walked directly in front of her, grabbed her wrist and said, "Meijiao, I said, I will never let you in!"
The cave fell into silence.
Taoist Qingyou suddenly looked at the tall and charming girl in purple and said, "You should be a martial artist, right? Can you tell me what your current level of cultivation is?"
Nangong Meijiao looked at her and said, "Early stage of martial arts master."
Taoist Qingyou smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Even if a martial artist in the late stage of the Great Martial Master came, he would not be able to withstand even one move from that Zhu Yan."
After these words were spoken, Nangong Meijiao fell silent.
At this time, Xia Chan, who was standing behind Miss Qin, suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'll try."
Everyone's eyes turned to her.
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand, feeling everyone's gazes, slowly lowered her head, her face full of restraint and anxiety.
Taoist Yunshang glanced at her and said, "Little girl, can you draw your sword and stab Qingyou's whisk?"
Taoist Qingyou stood at the door, holding a whisk in his arms, and looked at her indifferently.
Xia Chan raised her head and said, "I'll try."
Taoist Yunshan nodded.
Taoist Qingyou said, "Come on, stab me as much as you can."
“Swish!”
As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of cold light, and the sword in Xia Chan's hand instantly appeared on her chest, and the sharp tip of the sword touched her Taoist robe.
But the whisk that was in her arms just now appeared behind her.
"Great swordsmanship!"
Qingyou exclaimed in praise, and suddenly threw the whisk in his hand out of the cave, saying, "Try again."
“Swish!”
Xia Chan appeared outside the cave in an instant and stabbed out with the sword in her hand.
But what was strange was that the whisk that was thrown out of the cave suddenly returned to Taoist Qingyou's hands.
"What a fast sword!"
Taoist Qingyou held the whisk, stroked it with his fingers, and said in surprise, "One is missing."
The sword in Xia Chan's hand has been sheathed.
She walked in holding a white whisk.
Bai Ling praised: "Chan Chan is so powerful!"
Luo Qingzhou was secretly surprised. This girl's speed and swordsmanship were now faster and more powerful than before. Her strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
Taoist Yunshang nodded and said, "The little girl's swordsmanship is good, and her body movements are even better. She is almost at the level of unity between man and sword. However, this swordsmanship is only for attack, but not for defense, which is a pity. If you encounter a strong enemy, it will be very dangerous."
Bai Ling said: "Master, does she have a chance to get Zhu Yan's blood?"
Taoist Yunshang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's still very dangerous. Although this little girl is fast, Zhu Yan is not slow either. Moreover, this little girl will definitely not be able to dodge Zhu Yan's attack."
Xia Chan still said: "I will try."
Qin Weimo looked at her deeply and said softly, "Xia Chan, thank you, but no, I can't let you in."
Xia Chan glanced at her, tightened her grip on the sword, and showed a hint of stubbornness on her face: "I want to go."
Qin Weimo shook his head firmly and refused: "No."
Xia Chan lowered her head, her expression gloomy, inferior and depressed, and whispered: "I... I can't do anything, I can only kill people..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him: "You can also grind ink."
Xia Chan raised her head and looked at him.
The others also looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly bowed to Taoist Yunshang and said, "Master, is it okay for me to go in with her?"
After he said this, everyone looked at him in astonishment.
Song Ruyue immediately said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! What are you doing in there? Are you going to die? You are a weak scholar, why are you meddling in this? You can write poems and talk about the Dao, but for this kind of thing, you better get out of here."
Nangong Xueyi also hurriedly advised: "Mr. Luo, I know you are eager to save my sister-in-law, and I know you are brave. But the beast is dangerous. If you go in, it will eat you directly. Let them who practice martial arts come up with a solution for this matter. Auntie is right, you should not get involved."
Luo Qingzhou ignored them and continued to bow and said, "Senior, please take us in."
Taoist Yunshang frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Luo, you are not afraid of life and death to save your relatives. I admire you. But this matter is indeed dangerous. You are a scholar and you should know that there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Zhuyan is not an ordinary beast. You can't reason with it."
Luo Qingzhou directly handed the folded rice paper in his hand to him and said, "Master, please accept these three spells. Regardless of success or failure, I am willing to give them to your temple. If you are willing to take me in, I have a copy of the "Taishang Qingjing Jing" here, which I am also willing to give to you."
Taoist Yunshang was stunned when he heard this: "The Great Pure and Tranquil Sutra?"
Then his face suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice: "Could it be the lost holy book of Taoism in ancient times, The Invisible Scripture of the Great Dao?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I just got it somewhere else accidentally. As for what it was called before, I don't know. But I can recite a few words first, Taoist priest, please listen."
Taoist Yunshang immediately held his breath, calmed his mind, and said solemnly, "Young Master, please read it."
There was a sudden silence in the cave.
Song Ruyue's face was full of anxiety. She wanted to speak but didn't dare to say anything.
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then recited in a sonorous voice: "The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and earth; the Great Dao is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things; I do not know its name, so I call it Dao..."
As soon as this sentence came out, the Taoist priest Yunshang, whose hair and beard were all white, was shocked and said in a lost voice: "It is indeed the "Invisible Scripture of the Great Way"!"
Then tears rolled down his cheeks: "God has eyes, Daozu blesses me, my Dao sect's most precious treasure has finally returned..."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at him, and for some reason, a strange aura suddenly rose in his chest, and he continued to chant in a sonorous voice: "There is clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness; the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky moves and the earth is still; men are clear and women are turbid, men move and women are still..."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
At this moment, the scenes in the eyes of everyone in the cave suddenly began to shake, and then their heads began to buzz, as if a chaos was about to be split open, as if a new world was about to be born...
They froze in place, as if frozen in time, their bodies unable to move, their minds in a daze.
Miss Qin stood silently in the corner, her snow-white skirt swaying slightly, her long black hair moving without wind, and in her dark and deep eyes, it seemed as if stars were spinning, shining brightly!
