"When people are poor, they have little ambition. When they owe money to others, they have no choice but to help them get rid of their misfortunes."
The old Taoist followed Su Yun closely, holding a broom in his hand. His eyes flickered, and he felt relaxed. "However, being able to defeat Emperor Ping at the same level and causing him to be injured and vomit blood shows that his talent and understanding are truly extraordinary. This kind of intelligence is rare in the world. What a pity..."
He shook his head and thought, "He is the master of Tongtian Pavilion, he doesn't look down on our Taoist sect."
On the way back, Su Yun passed by the execution ground and saw a crowd of people there. Many people from Shuofang gathered outside the execution ground, making it very lively.
Su Yun asked around, and someone excitedly told him, "It's the seven great families, line up to be beheaded!"
"The emperor has issued an order to execute the nine clans of the seven great families! Tens of thousands of people in Shuofang alone are implicated!"
"There are also many families in other states and counties that are illegitimate children of the seven great families, and some are married. They have all been implicated and are also being beheaded!"
"Many people were beheaded all over the country! But not as many as in Shuofang. Many people from other places came to Shuofang to watch the beheading. I heard that it would take many days to finish the beheading!"
…
Su Yun stood outside the execution ground, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Behind him, the old Taoist came with a broom in his hand and said, "Master Su, you should have learned a lot of the old saints' secrets, right? Saint Xun said that people are born evil and need to be educated to be good. Saint Meng said that people are born good and are evil when disturbed by the world. But I, the Taoist, say that people are born as gods."
Su Yun turned around and asked, "I'd like to hear the details."
"People are born as gods, just like innocent babies. As they grow up, they are disturbed by the mortal world little by little, so they gradually lose their qualifications as gods and become mortals."
The old Taoist walked up to him and put down his broom. "When a young man grows up, he will lose all his immortality and become vulgar. The way to cultivate Taoism is to slow down this process, or reverse growth, so that you can return to the state of a baby and become an immortal."
Su Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "So, is Di Ping's action good or evil? Is it to make him one step closer to becoming a god, or one step further away?"
The old Taoist looked at him, and after a moment, he said, "I thought you would ask me about the way of the gods."
Su Yun sneered, shook his sleeves and turned to walk away: "Do I need you to teach me the way of the gods? I can teach you, it's almost the same. Go away, Taoist!"
The old Taoist was stunned and quickly followed him.
Su Yun returned to the Xinglin Herbal Medicine Shop, returned the borrowed Taoist priest to Doctor Dong, and took out a Qinghong coin, paid it to Doctor Dong, and said, "This is the money I borrowed from the Taoist priest."
Doctor Dong took the money, took out the account book, checked it, and said, "He still owes thirteen Qinghong coins. It seems that he can't make so much money this month, so he has to wait for Xianyun to pay him. But Xianyun's salary is not much, so it is estimated that this will become a bad debt."
At this moment, Su Yun suddenly noticed that the aura of disaster on the street had faded a lot. He was moved and asked, "Did Zuo Pushe find the Wutong tree?"
Doctor Dong shook his head: "There is no news from Zuo Pushe. I have been mixing some spiritual medicines these days to see if I can eliminate the calamity, but the progress is not great."
"Strange, why is the calamity energy slowly dissipating?" Su Yun wondered.
There were still many people who came to see the doctor, and the streets were lined with free clinics, most of whom were scholars studying medicine in the academy. - Marquis Shuofang ordered several scholars studying medicine in the academies of Shuofang, Jiuyuan and Moxia to come and help.
Although these three academies were implicated in the rebellion and many scholars were coerced into rebelling together, with the help of Shuofang Hou, Zuo Songyan and others, the lives of most of the scholars in the three academies were saved.
However, those scholars who followed the seven great families in rebellion were not so lucky and were inevitably executed.
Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao also helped treat the injured people. Although they could not cure the disease, they could help them survive and delay time.
As the evil energy subsides, these patients will naturally get better.
At night, they had a rare moment of peace and quiet. Chi Xiaoyao talked to Su Yun for a while and then fell asleep. Su Yun closed his eyes to rest and brought Yingying into his spiritual world.
His spirit held Yingying in his palm and said, "My strength has greatly improved this time. I should be able to escape from the sword. However, I have never brought other people's spirits into that world. I don't know if I can succeed."
Su Yun raised his right hand and pushed gently. Yingying screamed and was pushed away.
She suddenly felt her body became much lighter and looked hurriedly at Su Yun's palm, only to see another herself lying in Su Yun's palm.
Su Yun pushed her spirit out of her body, then gently put her body down and said, "Hold me tight."
Yingying flew over hurriedly and hugged his neck, but Su Yun was too big for her to hold with both hands, so she had to hold Su Yun's arms, but they were still too thick.
Su Yun had no choice but to stuff her into his collar and said, "Hold on to my collar!"
Yingying blushed and grasped his collar tightly with both hands, leaving only her small head exposed on Su Yun's chest, looking forward nervously.
Su Yun mobilized his vital energy and activated the Eight-sided Sky-facing Palace in his eyes.
It moved toward the sky, and the gate of heaven rose into the air and suddenly opened!
Su Yun's soul was suddenly pulled by a tremendous force and flew towards the world behind the sky gate!
Yingying screamed and clung to Su Yun's chest, unable to move!
The next moment, boundless light surged and filled the girl's vision.
When the light faded, white clouds slowly emerged, dispersing the fairy light. The long bridge was like a sleeping dragon, lying in the clouds of the fairyland.
Before Yingying had time to take a closer look, Su Yun rushed forward and in a breath he was in front of Qu Jin's body standing on the bridge. He pulled Yingying out of his arms without saying a word, and pulled her little hand to print on the fairy picture!
"Quick! Visualize the telepathy!" Su Yun shouted.
Yingying hurriedly concentrated and visualized the telepathy.
Mythical beasts like Lingxi are extremely rare. Some people have seen dragons and phoenixes, and occasionally there are incidents of dragons falling, but mythical beasts like Lingxi are extremely rare.
This mythical beast can travel freely in the spiritual world of each person or monster, sucking their dreams and turning nightmares into sweet dreams.
There is no trace of Lingxi to be found until the scholar Ying who lived 150 years ago found Lingxi and created the Lingxi Bichen Tongxuan Gong, and left this technique in the Wenyuan Pavilion of Tiandao Academy.
After Yingying read about this technique, she immediately closed her eyes and visualized Lingxi according to the Lingxi pattern recorded in the book.
Su Yun looked into the fairy map, only to see that it reflected the surrounding scenery, but no spiritual connection emerged.
Yingying opened her eyes, a little confused.
Su Yun quickly placed his hand on the Immortal Map and whispered, "Am I the only one who can use this Immortal Map?"
He also practiced Lingxi Bichen Tongxuan Gong, and observed the Lingxi diagram left by Ying Shizi from Yingying. However, although he visualized Lingxi, Lingxi never appeared on the immortal diagram.
Obviously, he is not the only one who can use the Immortal Map.
"Wait a minute, does it mean that one must have the spiritual connection to transcend the tribulation in order to be reflected from the immortal map?"
Su Yun was shocked and suddenly came to realize that he had looked at the crocodile dragon, Yinglong, Bifang, white ape and other mythical beasts or sacred beings on the fairy map. Without exception, they were all undergoing tribulation and then were killed by the fairy sword.
Obviously, the immortal map records the gods and demons who are going through the tribulation. Any gods and demons who die under the immortal sword can emerge from the map according to the visualization of the person using the immortal map, and recreate the scene of their going through the tribulation.
Lingxi did not appear in the picture, which only means that from ancient times to the present, the divine beast Lingxi has never cultivated to the level of overcoming tribulations!
If you have not survived the catastrophe, you will not appear in the fairy map.
"That's going to be difficult."
Suzhou frowned, looked around vigilantly, gritted his teeth and stuffed Yingying back into his arms, turned around and ran away, thinking: "If I delay any longer, I don't know where the sword light will come from, so I should go back first!"
He still remembered clearly the sword that pierced his buttocks. Whenever he thought of it, the muscles in his buttocks could not help but twitch and ache slightly.
The two souls returned to the spirit world. Su Yun sent Yingying's soul back to her body. Su Yun was worried and walked back and forth in the spirit world.
Yingying was also very worried and walked back and forth in his palm.
"Yingying, if Scholar Ying is you, then she would definitely leave some traces on the Lingxi Bichen Tongxuan Gong to mark how she found Lingxi."
Su Yun suddenly had an idea, stopped and speculated: "In that book about Lingxi Bichen Tongxuan Gong, there must be a map or summoning method left by her. Think carefully, is there anything strange in that book?"
Yingying stood in his palm, stopped, thought carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from his palm: "There is a kind of medicinal herb behind each page of the technique!"
She waved her hands, and pages of the Lingxi Bichen Tongxuan Gong appeared in the air. At the bottom of the pages were various strange herbs.
Below the herbs were the page numbers, but they were in a mess and not arranged in the order of one, two, three, four.
“This should be a prescription.”
Su Yun looked at it carefully and speculated: "What is this prescription used for... Never mind, we are in the herbal medicine shop, just grab these herbs and mix them together to see what we can make!"
He was very excited and immediately woke up from his meditation and walked out of the secret room of the herbal medicine shop.
Yingying also flapped her paper wings excitedly and followed him.
The two came to the end of the secret room and saw the fat Doctor Dong standing there with his back cracked. The real Doctor Dong was not inside and no one knew where he had gone.
The two men walked out of the secret room, only to see the old Taoist lying on the hospital bed, snoring loudly.
Su Yun did not disturb him. He walked over quietly, lit the lamp, and prepared the medicine according to the prescription. After a while, he had prepared the herbs according to the dosage.
Yingying dragged an alchemy furnace from the corner with great effort. Su Yun looked at her and put the herbs into the furnace.
Their hearts were pounding. Su Yun stimulated his blood and energy, and a ball of Bifang divine fire flew out, igniting the alchemy furnace.
At this time, wonderful changes took place in the alchemy furnace.
Su Yun and Yingying were surprised to see a strange fragrance that seemed to be tangible and tangible, wafting out of the alchemy furnace and connecting with the old Taoist's spiritual world.
The old Taoist's spiritual world was opened without any defense, and the strange fragrance drifted in.
“Hurry over there!”
Yingying flew up hurriedly, and suddenly found that she was flying, but it was only her soul that flew, while her body was still in the same place.
The same happened to Su Yun. His soul was intoxicated by the strange fragrance from the alchemy furnace and flew out of his body.
"This is… "
He was stunned, and Yingying quickly held his fingers, flapped her wings, and laboriously carried him along the strange fragrance, flying into the Taoist's spiritual world.
The spiritual world of the Taoist priest is extremely vast and boundless. If you fly into the spiritual world of the Taoist priest, you can even see the sacred nine heavens, the Taoist gods all over the sky, and you can also see a world of your own.
The old Taoist was surprised. The dozing gods opened their eyes one after another and looked at the pair of spiritual beings that suddenly broke into their spiritual world, wondering what was going on.
The two of them were flying through the old Taoist's spiritual world following the strange fragrance. Suddenly, the strange fragrance floated out of the old Taoist's spiritual world and entered the spiritual world of Chi Xiaoyao who was sleeping soundly in the secret room.
Chi Xiaoyao's spiritual world is much smaller than the old Taoist's. The spirit of the little female dragon is working hard, practicing beside the abyss, and the dragon ball in the abyss is shining brightly and rising.
Just then, Su Yun and Yingying rushed in one after another.
Chi Xiaoyao was terrified and ashamed: "If I dreamed of a man, it means I was thinking about it. Could it be that I... But why is Yingying here too?"
As she was thinking, she saw Su Yun and Yingying flying into her abyss and disappeared.
Chi Xiaoyao was stunned. He lay down at the edge of the abyss and looked down. It was pitch black and he couldn't see the bottom. He didn't know where Su Yun and Yingying flew to from the abyss.
"What was I thinking about during the day?" the little dragonet worried.
