Master of the Fountain of Youth: Longevity from Taoist

Chapter 14
……

Xu Dao shook his head.

"It's a lot worse."

Xuan Shan opened his mouth and paused for a while before speaking.

"Back then, you had outstanding aptitude. I thought you would be able to earn something these years. It seems that the incident of Yujing Temple has hit you a bit too hard after all."

"maybe."

Xu Dao was noncommittal.

Xuanshan said again.

"This time I came to look for you, brother simply wanted to tell you that there is no need to hide anymore, those murderers who slaughtered Yujing Temple also escaped to the Shang Dynasty."

"Back then they were defeated in Yancheng. In order to seek the capital to take root in other countries, they not only slaughtered Yujing Temple, but even the Taoist system of Yuling Mountain."

"Your mother entrusted me to give these to you, as a thank you for saving my life back then."

Things are a letter and a book.

Xu Dao read the letter first, which contained information about Hai Dutong and Luo Wenzao that she had inquired over the years, as well as some greetings and words of thanks.

The book is a method of practice.

"Five Sacred Mountains"

"The method of practicing Qi?"

"Yes."

"Young mother asked me to give it to you. Although my junior brother was a direct disciple, she had not yet learned the fundamental inheritance of Yujing Temple, so she found this method for you."

This thing is very valuable, especially for those in need.

Xu Dao was a little moved.

"How have you been all these years?"

"not bad."

"Youniang and I fled to the Shang Dynasty and joined the Tongshan School. Over the years, Youniang has become a high-ranking member of the Tongshan School. I have been looking for news about the medicine all these years."

"On the other hand, I opened some shops in the city for my young mother, earning money for her, and I became a rich man."

"I see."

"It's hard to find great medicine, but with your young mother's talent, she must have felt consummated long ago."

Speaking of this, Xuan Shan also admired it in a serious manner.

"Not only that, but at the age of 22, the young mother sensed the location of the Sanjiao porch, and she was afraid to try it because she didn't have great medicine."

"It's been delayed until now."

"When I asked me some time ago, I told her that the lineage of Yujing Guandanding once had the ability to refine great medicine. It may not be as good as real medicine, but it is also a hope."

"Junior brother, do you know? Back then, Daoist Xugu treated you like a son..."

Xu Dao gradually came to his senses, and always felt that it was not the same thing.

When pure fetters are mixed with other things.

Sour.

Perhaps because he saw the change in Xu Dao, Xuan Shan hurriedly remedied it.

"That's not what I meant, I'll just ask, it doesn't matter if it's not there."

"I really don't understand this method now. I only know that it consumes a lot of ordinary medicine. Yujingguan's century-old foundation has only been refined once, and it made us double search for half a year."

Xuanshan was a person who experienced this incident and knew the whole story.

As for Xu Dao, it's normal not to know, the time to become a personal heir is too short, and he hasn't even learned the pharmacology, so how can he learn the art of alchemy.

"I see."

Xuan Shan felt a little regretful, and hugged Xu Dao.

"Since this is the case, I have to go back and tell the young lady, and I will leave first."

"Don't stay in the mountains all the time, go out and have a look."

"In the years since Yujingguan was destroyed, many changes have taken place outside."

"I will."

Xu Dao watched Xuan Shan go away, and returned to the spring cave to pack up his belongings.

There are not many things, just some animal skins and dried meat. The iron sword from that year has long been given to Li Youniang.

And the dozens of wild ginseng planted in the corner are several years old. Under the nourishment of this slightly extraordinary hot spring soil, after ten years, the growth is almost the same as that of 20 years.

It is ready to use.

But Xu Dao only dug five, and kept the rest.

Xuan Shan's purposeful arrival made him have to live in another place, not because he no longer trusts them, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Although he does not have the skill of refining great medicine, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party's personality will change drastically due to the experience of the environment.

The reminder of Daoist Xugu is still vivid in his memory.

"And be more cautious."

"Although I haven't come to the memory, it's time to go to Yujing to have a look."

With his luggage on his back, Xu Dao kicked like the wind.

Wherever he passed, the grass did not fall, and there was no trace. This was another one of his few gains in the past ten years.

The realm is stuck and can only be polished slowly.

However, his skills and control over his body are increasing day by day, and he has reached the level of proficiency.

Without relying on internal qi, if you put the power in your palm, you can split old trees and crush stubborn rocks.

First-hand grilling skills can be called the pinnacle.

In less than half a day, he climbed several high mountains, and saw the former site of Yujing Temple in the distance.

Plants and vines have climbed the palace wall.

There was dark green moss everywhere, obviously abandoned for a long time.

It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that the three halls had collapsed, and the inside was in a mess, but there were signs of recent disturbance in some places.

"Xuanshan..."

There is no doubt that he must have been here and rummaged for something.

The corpses in view were also burned by the townspeople at the foot of the mountain.

There are still dark piles of burning marks on the main square.

Xu Dao silently kowtowed to the incineration pile, inside... maybe his master was there.

Pause for a long time, and then get up.

Xu Dao went straight to the ancestral grave in the back mountain, where Yujingguan had always been buried.

The tomb of the ancestors is also here.

According to Master Gu He's legacy, Xu Dao knelt on the ground and dug the soil with his hands, and there was nothing wrong with using his inner energy.

Before it was dark, the black coffin was dug out.

"Patriarch, disciple is not filial."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Dao suddenly lifted the lid of the coffin, and was shocked to find that the corpse of the ancestor inside hadn't rotted. It's been more than ten years... The qi-training immortal master is really extraordinary.

But right in front of his eyes, the coffin was opened not long ago.

White hairs appeared all over the corpse, and the nails also oxidized and turned black.

The skin that was originally like a living person became gray and dry and wrinkled, as if it was shrinking rapidly.

"Disciple is unfilial!"

After knocking again, Xu Dao took off the three scriptures that the Patriarch was holding on his chest, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he put the coffin lid back.

Keep backfilling the loess until everything is as it was before.

Xu Daochang sighed.

Before dark, head towards the small town at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 20 villages and five small towns in Pingxiang.

The one at the foot of Yujingguan Mountain is called Qijia Town, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

After Xu Dao went down the mountain, he used his identity as a hunter to sell the animal skins and ginseng for two taels of silver.

Changing into a normal outfit, I stayed in Xunyi Inn.

It is not necessary to use it to understand the Dao Zhuan script that may be contained in the Fountain of Youth, just observe it every day.

He thinks that sooner or later he will come to his senses.

But living in a busy city also requires a little ability to settle down.

In order to avoid Xuanshan, Xu Dao did not intend to stay in Qijia Town.

A little tidying up can be called a makeover.

It is far from his image in the valley.

The next day, Xu Dao headed for Xiangxiang next door in a bullock cart carrying goods.

Along the way, I briefly read the contents of the three scriptures.

The "Thirty-three Volumes of Lingbao Jing" is really a complete method for practicing Qi, and it is more precious than the "Book of Five Sacred Mountains Sitting on Mountains" presented by Li Youniang.

It also comes with a lot of qi training spells and methods of making magic tools.
