Qi Xuanmen
Although it is early winter, the mountains are continuous, and there are pines and cypresses that do not lose their leaves. They are dark and gray. You can also see springs overflowing from the top of the mountain. For some reason, they turn into clouds and mist, making the upper half of the mountain sink in the clouds and smoke. Occasionally the clouds open. , you can see the small pavilions dotted there, you can watch the sea of clouds in the morning and the sunset in the evening, it is really a scenic spot.
It's just that in the mountain roads, every traffic artery is guarded by a Qi Xuanmen Taoist, and all the Taoists who come and go carry the talisman to pass.
A middle-aged man hurried towards the main hall, walking in a hurry. When he arrived outside the main hall, someone stopped him: "Elder Li, please show me your talisman."
The elder stretched out his hand and revealed a talisman. The Taoist guard took out a pair of half talismans, and immediately closed them, shining a white light, and said: "No problem, please come in."
When he entered, he saw the Earth Immortal sitting on the bed practicing his kung fu. The elder did not dare to disturb him, and it became quiet for a while. The only sound of breathing could be heard in the small hall.
After a long time, I heard the voice of the Earth Immortal: "What's going on?"
"It's Pei Ziyun's information. You ordered it to be sent as soon as it is available." The elder said carefully. The Earth Immortal has ruled Qi Xuanmen for two hundred years, and its prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who dares to disapprove
At this time, the Earth Immortal was reading the paper, and Elder Li stood and watched. After a while, the Earth Immortal put down the paper without any expression and said, "The new emperor really doesn't want to kill Pei Ziyun?"
Elder Li whispered: "Yes, Patriarch. Taizu wanted to kill him before, so as soon as we expressed our intention, Taizu accepted us and asked us to cooperate. He even accepted a few of us Taoists to live in the Taoist temple in the capital."
"But after Taizu passed away, the new emperor seemed not to want to take action. Our people tried to push it a few times, but they didn't move."
"Damn it!" The Earth Immortal was furious and slapped his hand on the table in front of the futon. The table suddenly became dusty and turned into ashes. Elder Li sighed secretly. When he was born, the Earth Immortal was there. When he entered the Taoism, all the Earth Immortals were there. When I became an elder, the Earth Immortal was still there. I had always been afraid of the Earth Immortal. I had only seen Feng Danyun Qing and aloof from other things. I had never seen such an angry look. He comforted me in a low voice: "True Lord, don't be angry. The new Emperor Qitai was the prince when he was here." , Pei Ziyun is an old member of the family, and it is normal to have feelings for him for a while."
"But imperial power and Taoists, especially earthly immortals, are always in conflict - there is no example of a good beginning and a good end in all dynasties."
"Emperor Qitai will eventually fall out with Pei Ziyun, we just have to wait..."
The Earth Immortal had a gloomy face. In the past, these words sounded nice, but he had lost two incarnations in a row, and his lifespan had shrunk even more. In the past ten years, he had been waiting impatiently. Just as he was thinking about it, a Taoist came in and reported: "True Lord, Lu The king sent someone to deliver the news."
"What?" Earth Immortal's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes shone brightly. After taking a look at the message, his expression changed slightly: "Prince Lu is looking for me to join forces to kill Pei Ziyun?"
"Hey, we really can't underestimate these worldly kings. They are all cruel and evil. In the past, they used to thank Chengdong as their military advisor and they were just like a gentleman. But now they just pretend that there is no such thing and turn around to unite with me. What a good plan. , thinking that when tigers and wolves fight, one of them will be injured, and the fisherman will benefit?"
"Kick me out." Earth Immortal said coldly. Elder Li's body shook and he went out.
living room
There are pictures of landscapes hanging in the hall, and the picture is of Lingdong Lake at the foot of Qixuan Mountain.
In the painting, the fishermen are fishing and the woodcutter is cutting wood. Their beards and hair are all white, and their expressions seem to have a Taoist charm. It seems that the painter has already tasted life, seen through the ups and downs, and is detached from everything else.
"What a painting!" King Lu's envoy seemed to be a scribe, no more than thirty years old, a bit handsome. He looked at the landscape paintings from time to time and seemed to have some enlightenment. He ignored the Taoist who stared at him and praised him.
Elder Li went out and said when he saw him: "Zhenjun, I don't want to see you, so go down the mountain and see someone off."
Elder Li was cold and cold, knowing that killing Xie Chengdong was due to King Lu's evil dragon spirit, so he didn't have a good reputation. However, the two Qi Xuanmen disciples at the door heard the sound and came in with fierce faces, so they drove the scribe out.
Looking at the appearance of the Taoist in front of him, the scribe smiled and said: "Isn't it possible to solve the hidden dangers of your sect? If you take this and ask again, the immortal will definitely be willing to see me. If he drives me out regardless of the circumstances, I am afraid that in the end It’s you who are guilty!”
"What? Impossible." Elder Li had already turned around a few steps. Hearing the scribe's words, he was suddenly startled. He turned around and stared at the scribe. The scribe was not afraid and showed a mysterious smile: "Just tell me, my dear." We are all here with you, so what are you afraid of? If you really offend me, why don’t you just let me do whatever you want?"
Elder Li was stunned for a moment, thought clearly, and then said to his disciples: "You guys watch, I will report it to the True Lord immediately."
"Yes, Uncle Master." The two men bowed their heads in response. After Elder Li finished speaking, he immediately hurried into the hall to reply and bowed: "The True Lord, the envoy of King Lu, has said that he can eliminate evil spirits and diseases in the sect. Look..."
The Earth Immortal snorted, sneered, and waved his hand: "I heard it just now. It must be King Lu's ghost. Call him in and I will destroy his soul."
When Elder Li heard this, he immediately summoned him. The scribe was not afraid and followed him inside. After entering, a transparent magic circle suddenly appeared, murderous intent emerged, and he immediately imprisoned the scribe in the palace.
The scribe looked around and saw a strong spiritual light, as well as a strong murderous intention that could not be quelled. He was so pressed that he could not move. However, the scribe was prepared and smiled with his hands up: "Is this the true king's way of hospitality?"
The Earth Immortal was furious and smiled sinisterly: "At this point, you still dare to pretend to be calm. Who are you? I have a feeling that you are no longer me. If you refuse to tell me, I will have to let you die."
"Haha" listening to the words of the Earth Immortal, the scribe stood still and laughed, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, but I can solve the hidden dangers for your sect. You can transfer one over and I will pull it out for him immediately. Come out and let you know that I am sincere and have real abilities."
After saying this, the angry Earth Immortal calmed down and stared at the scribe: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Since I was chosen by His Majesty to be an envoy and received the king's orders, how can I be afraid?" the scribe said, his eyes bright and his expression calm. He is indeed not afraid. Although the reincarnation platform was just built, it already has the power to pull the mark.
When the Earth Immortal heard this, he thought that the disciples and elders in his sect had become a different person. His eyes were stern and deep. The scribe didn't seem to notice the murderous intention and smiled: "You can kill me, but not only have you offended us, , making it impossible for many disciples of your sect to recover, and also lost the opportunity to kill Pei Ziyun. This is the son of fate who replaced you, and has hatred against you - I pray that the 300-year hegemony of Xuanmen will come to an end."
After saying that, the scribe laughed, and with the laughter, the hall became weird, and the surrounding elders looked at the Earth Immortal.
The Earth Immortal lowered his head to think, closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly ordered: "Go and arrest the disciples who have been contaminated by evil spirits."
"Yes!" An elder immediately turned around and went out.
Not long after, a roar was heard, and the disciple who came in no longer looked like a human, with long animal hair on his face, and the nails on his hands turned into sharp claws. Then he rushed over, and there was a roar, and then he had a moment of clarity.
"True Lord, kill me quickly." Suppressed by the spiritual light, the disciple seemed to be a little clearer. At this time, he knelt down and shouted loudly, his voice was sharp and desolate, as if in despair: "Kill me quickly, I don't want to become a monster. "
"No..." After the disciple finished speaking, the demonic energy surged around his body, and he lost his mind again. He burst out with a strong force and struggled: "Roar"
Seeing his disciple like this, Elder Escort couldn't help but sigh. He stretched out his hand and the magic weapon burst into light, suppressing the semi-demon disciple.
The scribe smiled at this time: "This is just a temporary treatment and has no effect."
Following the words, the demonic energy that had been suppressed suddenly burst out more violently. The disciple struggled in pain, with bulging veins and abnormal changes on his body.
The Earth Immortal's eyes flashed brightly, and he ordered: "If you still dare to be worshipful, take it down."
"Boom!" The surrounding mana surged, and the magic circle immediately strengthened several times, and it was about to take down the evil spirit even the scribe. However, the scribe was not afraid, and took a step forward calmly. Just a little, the evil energy on the disciple suddenly disappeared.
"???"
The Earth Immortal was startled, the magic circle stagnated, and saw that the demonic aura was lost. The disciple's hair receded, his claws turned into nails, and his whole body quickly recovered.
"Am I healed?" As the evil spirit left, the disciple regained his original appearance and consciousness. He reached out and touched his face: "I actually recovered, I actually recovered."
As he said this, he started to cry loudly, regardless of the teachers present.
"Impossible." The elder looked at it, his body trembled, and he was full of shock. Wherever the magic circle came from, all aspects were blocked. Why did it suddenly return to human form
"Ju Zhen is fine." An elder looked at him and ordered: "Quick, quick, check to see if there are any evil spirits left."
Several disciples came forward, took out the magic weapon and took a photo of it. After checking for a long time, they found that there was no demonic aura on them.
"Haha." The scribe was locked in the formation and laughed: "How? We certainly have a way to cure your disease."
As he said that, he glanced around again and chuckled: "Did you see the aura just now? I know your formation can even lock the soul. Is it possible to lock that aura?"
"If you kill me, my soul can leave just like this breath, but this is a mortal enemy. Do you really want to continue?"
In the hall, the scribe's voice echoed, and the elder looked towards the Earth Immortal.
"I will check it myself." The Earth Immortal was noncommittal, took a step forward, reached in front of the disciple, stretched out his hand, and the spiritual light passed through the disciple's soul and body.
After a moment, his face changed color slightly - there was no problem, on the contrary, his physical fitness was stronger.
"The King Lu fruit is the source of evil spirits." This thought flashed through the Earth Immortal's mind, and he turned to look at the scribe who was imprisoned by the magic circle, and asked: "Since you can cure evil diseases, what do you want to do?"
The Earth Immortal originally wanted to say that he was evil, but changed his story and claimed that he was ill. The scribe didn't care about the details at all and just smiled: "What we want is to jointly kill Pei Ziyun as reward. Not only can we relieve the patients of your sect, but we can also provide your sect with imagination." Something less than that—like, say, extending life.”
"What?" Earth Immortal's whole body was shocked. Now that his life is about to end, the most important thing to him is this. He suddenly became really serious. He gritted his teeth and looked up and down, and asked coldly: "No matter how abnormal King Lu is, it will not matter." It may go against the will of heaven and increase your lifespan—who are you?”
In response to this question, the scribe smiled but did not answer. The Earth Immortal glanced at him and felt that the smile was extremely hateful. He felt a surge of anger and wanted to reach out and kill him.
Just thinking about the sudden disappearance of his breath just now, without even realizing where he went, and what the scribe said about life span, he took a few steps, his expression calmed down, and he suddenly asked: "Can life span really be extended?"
In this world, there are almost no things that can extend lifespan—power can be obtained, but lifespan is difficult to increase. Now that we have this, it is really incredible.
"It's true, you can try it." The scribe said, stretching out his hand, a crystal appeared on his hand: "You can try this crystal, and you will know that what I said is true."
Looking at the crystal, the Earth Immortal took a deep look and ordered: "Let go of the magic circle - throw the Yuan Jing over."
