Chapter 346: Incense is buried in retreat
Thinking of the word incense, Xu Dao frowned deeply.

He looked at these bright spots of life that were suspected to be incense in the inner world, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

As he just thought about it, since this thing can increase the yin spirit out of thin air, and it is quite pure, it should be widely known.But the current situation is that he Xu has read a lot of books, and after thinking about it for a while, he found some clues.

What made Xu Dao even more concerned was that this world was a world of immortality, not Buddhism, nor mythology, nor even a world where Buddhism, Taoism, or immortals coexisted, but a purely immortal world.

It has been like this for tens of thousands of years, from Xianqin to Shengtang.Even now that the Holy Tang Dynasty is shattered, Taoism and law are still rampant in the world, and there is no room for the existence of gods and heretics.

As for where these gods and heretics have gone, naturally they all disappeared in the long river of history, and at most there are only a few residues left swirling on the river surface.

Thinking carefully, Xu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although in many Taoist books, the reason for the disappearance of the gods of heaven and earth is mentioned, it is mainly attributed to the decline of the aura of heaven and earth, the gods are born with spirit, and die when they fail.

But this statement is not enough for Xu Dao to believe it completely.

According to the steps taken by Taoists to build the foundation and plant spiritual roots, the disappearance of the gods in the sky is probably inseparable from the coming of the prosperous age of immortality!What's more, during the Shengtang period, there was a sword cultivator's expedition to the west, which is a criminal record.

After such a deliberation, Xu Dao had to suspect that the light of life in front of him was fraudulent, or something was wrong!
After all, incense holders are tied to gods and ghosts. Mortals use incense to support gods, and gods protect mortals with divine power.

But Taoists attribute their great power to themselves. Although they swallow the essence of the sun, the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, they do not rely on external things, but instead rebel against nature and pursue immortality.

The concepts between the two are not consistent, the former is controlled by others, and the latter is free in the world.

Xu Dao became even more vigilant for a while, thinking secretly in his heart: "Is the incense poisonous?"

Moreover, the incense is made from other people's souls, and a mortal soul can produce very little incense. If Xu Dao relies on these incenses to practice, the amount he needs will not be calculated in thousands, but It needs to be calculated in units of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Although he didn't destroy the souls, but the final output fell into his belly, just once or twice once in a while, if it is like this for a long time, how is this behavior different from cannibalism?

Of course, if benevolence and righteousness are widely practiced so that mortals can live and work in peace and contentment and die naturally, even collecting incense from them is not a bad thing.

But such behavior has already fallen into the so-called incense and fire gods, not the immortal way.

Thinking left and right, Xu Dao was full of worries.

Looking at the light spots in the inner world, he sighed softly.

Anyway, he doesn't dare to use incense to improve his cultivation for the time being, it's better to accumulate it in the inner world first, and use it to feed Taoist soldiers, so that it is better to let the tooth general scale soldiers be born with wisdom.

Maybe it can also be used to nourish ghost soldiers and other things. Anyway, he is not responsible for the cause and effect, so it can also improve his strength.

Concerns arose in his heart, Xu Dao was too lazy to pay attention to the many mortals in the inner world, he looked at the scene in the inner world for a few times, and then withdrew his soul.

This time stationed in the inner world, besides thinking of the word incense, Xu Dao also discovered some changes in the inner world.

For example, the size of the inner world is actually only affected by his physical body.

Although his cultivation base of immortality has increased for 15 years, but until now, the size of the Inner Heaven and Earth has not changed a single bit. Obviously, cultivation base of immortality has no effect on its size.

But apart from the size, Xu Dao realized that he had a clearer control over the inner world.

If the Inner Heaven and Earth were to be regarded as a prison cage, the maximum number of prisoners that it could imprison forcibly before was 110 and five years old.

But now that Immortal Dao has progressed, the maximum amount of people who can be imprisoned is 130 years, which is exactly the same as Xu Dao's total amount of true energy.

After some pondering, he suddenly realized that the cultivation of the physical body mainly affects the size and space of the inner world, while the cultivation of the immortal way affects the natural phenomena such as wind, thunder, light and fire in the inner world.

The former is matter, the latter is energy, and the combination of the two is the entire inner world.

In addition, the inner world is actually consuming his true qi, so that he can maintain the internal vitality, make the plants grow and the livestock multiply.Of course, from time to time, Xu Dao also needs to take in air from the outside world and dig up soil and sand to make adjustments.

And in such a process, Nei Tiandi was constantly affected by his true energy.

At the beginning, when he had not refined the True Qi of Huangquan Flood Dragon, he hadn't found anything, but now that the True Qi of Immortal Dao had been transformed, and merged with the True Qi of Martial Dao, it was wrapped around the inner world, and the changes suddenly accelerated, which immediately made Xu Tao found a clue.

I saw strands of muddy yellow zhenqi wandering outside the inner world, and the inner world was soaked in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs just like when Xu Dao was observing the map of mountains and seas.

As a result, the breath in the inner world became dark, and the water vapor was deep, and even the upper and lower colors began to turn pale yellow, as if it was about to merge into the true energy.

It can also be said that it is Xu Dao's true energy that wants to be placed in the inner world, so it is subtly changing the inner world.

Regarding this change, Xu Dao didn't know whether it was good or bad for the time being, but according to the instinct of his body or soul, it would not be a disaster, so he let the inner world change without too much intervention.

Anyway, Nei Tiandi is not of much help to him now, he just waits for Taoism to follow naturally, and then we will see the effect.

Once the work was done, Xu Dao rested in the cave for a while, read Taoist scriptures, sipped a pint of spiritual tea, and slept with his head covered for two or three days, put down his work, and let himself relax.

When he sat cross-legged on the white stone again, he collected his thoughts and prepared to do the rest.

The first thing to do is to polish the smelted Huangquan Flood Dragon True Qi to eliminate the internal anger, completely grasp it in hand, and stabilize the foundation.

Then you have to digest all the gains from going out for more than a month, and turn everything into your own cultivation and strength.

It must be known that when Xu Dao went out this time, except for the talisman treasures, he put away all the dead soldiers and the flesh and blood of the nun Huanxi.

With the Suojing Chapter in hand, Xu Dao could just devour the blood from the corpse of General Yaman to increase the concentration of dragon blood in his body and increase his cultivation base.And then use the flesh and blood of the nun's demon body to re-cultivate a group of generals and soldiers to protect him in his practice.

Already relaxed, Xu Dao immediately immersed himself in his cultivation, sharpened his true energy over and over again, and started his own retreat practice.

........................

time flies.

In the past half a year, except for taking the time to settle the herdsmen in the snow mountain, Xu Dao never took a step out of the cave.But he didn't cut off news from the outside world, but kept in touch with the outside world by using his teeth as his eyes and ears.

After polishing all the true qi in his body, Xu Daofang had no choice but to leave the cave again.But it was only a walk, and that afternoon he hurried back to the cave so that he could continue his retreat.

In fact, Xu Dao didn't want to go out of this door at all. He planned to digest all the gains, and he would not leave the door unless he was ordered. He was only thinking about improving his cultivation and strength. .

This is because just after he resettled the mortals in the snow mountain, the Erhai Dao Palace became unsettled and turmoil began to arise.

In addition to the Taoists who were retreating, the Taoist priests who had been moving strangely began to appear frequently in the Baichuan Water Dock, and within a month, there was news of the death of a Taoist priest.

You must know that the Taoist priests who established the foundation are important figures in the Erhai Taoist Palace, and there are only more than a hundred in total.The last time Xu Dao killed Taoist priest Lei Zhao, the news had been circulating in the Taoist Palace for half a year before it barely died down.

This is because the Taoist priests have high mana and a lifespan of two to three hundred years. Especially the Taoist priests in the Erhai Taoist Palace have many methods and strong strength. It is not easy to cultivate one or lose one.

It is also a major reason why the Wuzhao tribe still hates Xu Dao. It was not until he was summoned by Taoist Jin Lin that the other party reluctantly stopped.

And if one looks outside the Taoist palace, the number of missing monks among the scattered monks is even more.

At the beginning, only one or two people disappeared within a month, and later, eight or nine people disappeared within a month, making people panic.

In just half a year, counting those in the Taoist Palace, forty or fifty Taoist priests have disappeared.

And counting the more than 300 Taoist priests in the Taoist palace and the more than 50 scattered monks outside the Taoist palace, 100 to [-] people are close to [-]% of the total number of Taoist priests, and the number of disappearances is more than that in the past [-] years.

No matter how much such news is suppressed, it cannot be suppressed after all.Just when Xu Dao left the customs in person, the disturbance had already broken out.

He inquired from other people that the scattered monks outside the palace were connecting together, and the declaration was that the Erhai Taoist Palace was working secretly, and even the rumors fell on the heads of the three Jindan Taoist masters, and what these people guessed The content was exactly the same as what Xu Dao suspected before.

Sanxiu monks suspected that some of the golden elixir Taoist masters were about to die, and the reason why they massacred the foundation-building Taoist priests was to steal people's blood and soul, so as to refine the elixir that prolongs life.

There are beginnings and ends to these statements, and even the people in the Dao Palace were partially affected and began to mutter secretly.

And the most suspected object is none other than Taoist Jinlin who summoned Xu Dao!

The turmoil in it became more and more treacherous, making the interior of the Erhai Dao Palace become uneasy. The most obvious thing was that the conflict between the master-student line and the clan line became more and more acute.

There were not many solitary people (weeds on the wall) who were completely gone now, either they were partial to the line of master and apprentice, or they were partial to the line of clan.As for the stubborn people who don't stick to each other, they will disappear before they know it.

Fortunately, Xu Dao stood firm early in the morning and has not been affected yet.But he can also be regarded as the most ruthless person who has offended the Wuzhao tribe in the past few decades. He is an early rafter and has to protect himself.

For this reason, Xu Daodu had no choice but to order that the people in the Fudian were strictly prohibited from leaving the Baichuan Water Dock, and they could find other people to replace them if they needed anything.As for the business, if it is affected, it doesn't matter if it is bleak or bleak.

Even the foundation-building Taoist priests were panicked by such a disturbance, let alone the Taoist disciples and Taoist boys under the foundation-building. The entire Wudu and Wuguo were panicked.

Only the mortals near Wudu still do nothing and know nothing, work at sunrise and rest at sunset as usual, just like the days in the past thousands of years.

Dharma Hall.

Xu Dao hugged each other, and bowed to a certain Taoist in front of him: "Thank you, Daoist Wan, for being accommodating, and saving Daoist Zhuang from troublesome Daoist Zhuang."

It was Wan Shuangwen who was standing in front of him. When the other party heard it, he laughed and said: "It's nothing, Fellow Daoist Zhuang has already explained that even if the poor Daoist is not around, Fellow Daoist Xu can find other people to use the Daoist skills of Fellow Daoist Zhuang."

When Xu Dao heard this, he shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If we meet someone from the Wuzhao, the poor Taoist will have to make a trip in vain, and he will have to trouble Brother Zhuang Dao."

He cupped his hands again: "This time I'd like to thank Brother Dao."

It was another nice conversation, Xu Dao coaxed the other party a little bit, and then he left the Dao Dharma Hall with a small step.

The reason why he came here was to use Zhuang Bufan's Taoist skills to exchange for the classics and magic spells.

Now that the current situation is turbulent, he doesn't bother to be polite with Zhuang Bufan, he just needs to use the opponent's Dao skills first.

Of course, Xu Dao didn't spend all of Zhuang Bufan's Taoist skills, but left a sum of money for the other party.But the amount he spent all at once exceeded what he needed to observe a map of mountains and seas.

As for why he had to come in person, it was to use Zhuang Bufan's Taoist skills, Xu Dao had to go there himself.

After spending all the money, Xu Dao took a lot of Daoist scriptures and a pile of spiritual materials in his bag, and didn't even pass by his own talisman shop. He just found an exit with few people, left the water dock in a low-key manner, and ran to his cave. .

But even so, when he got out of the water dock, he still felt that he was being watched.

Fortunately, Xu Dao was already an expert at stalking and anti-stalking. He was too lazy to meet the other party, so he got rid of the other party with a few efforts and returned safely to the underwater cave.

Back in the cave, Xu Dao poured out the contents of the bag one by one, and put them all into his inner world, leaving only a bamboo slip in his hand.

This bamboo slip is exactly a powerful spell in the Dao Palace, a foundation-building fire spell.

Its name is "Nine Yin Returning Soul and Burning Fire Art", which belongs to the magic of immortality. It can collect and drive Yin fire, which can be used to kill enemies. It can also be used to burn the true energy of Taoist priests and assist Yin gods in their practice, just like the Yang thunder method. , can also be used for cultivation.

Xu Dao exchanged this method precisely for the purpose of cultivating a foundation-level immortal way spell, so as to make up for Yinshen's shortcomings.And he plans to integrate it into the Qingjing Chapter, making the Chixiao Thunderbolt in "Taishang Leiting Says Chang Qingjing Chapter" more powerful, so that he can use it as his trump card.

In addition, the rest of the Taoist scriptures he put in his bag, and all the free Qi refining spells in the Taoist Palace.The current situation is turbulent, and Xu Dao didn't bother to figure it out slowly, so he simply took it all in his hands first.

If something really went wrong, he wouldn't regret too much if he just ran away at that time.

For the next time, Xu Dao continued to immerse himself in seclusion, reading books when he was quiet, and practicing Dharma when he was moving.He planned to close the gate for five or six years at once, to see if he could escape the latest disturbance.

Anyway, his cultivation base is not enough, and he has not yet been condensed. If he really fishes in troubled waters, he will be more likely to be regarded as a fish by others.
