The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 422: Mandarin ducks and crows

After hearing what Master Mu Zhen said, Taoist Zhenru showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

He coughed and said: "This trip is not about the large number of people. Although there are only seven of us, we are all the best in the Great Li Kingdom."

Mu Zhen Island Master looked unhappy and said: "I am not rude, but for such an important matter, couldn't one of you, the Imperial Master and Master Zhen Mo, come in?"

Zhenru Taoist thought: "The people on the island are simple-minded. These two will either come together or not at all. Is there any reason for one to come and leave the other alone?"

Although, in the current catastrophe, the imperial court and Qingxuan Guan should not start internal strife again.

However, who dares to guarantee it?

Taoist Master Zhenmo and National Master, each of them has the strength to almost destroy the other.

Although this moment has come, we have to be prepared for what we should be prepared for.

Furthermore, this secret place under the sea is so dangerous that even Liuyun Sword Immortal has not come out. How dare they let the two pillars of Da Li take risks?

When they received the letter from Five Elements Island, they just discussed it briefly and immediately decided that they could not let the leader, Daochang Zhen Mo, go under any circumstances.

Taoist Zhenru nodded and said: "Okay. We have prepared a boat. It is very sturdy. It should be no problem to get close to the maelstrom. I wonder if you would like..."

After hearing Li Deyu's words, Taoist Zhenru suddenly looked at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian said in his heart: "We have reached this time, and the Dali court and Qingxuan Guan are still scheming and scheming. Human nature, it is true... even with great disasters thrown at our heads, we must not forget about internal fighting."

The imperial court also made the same decision in a tacit understanding.

Zhenru Taoist said: "We have had enough rest on the way here. It is better to set off sooner rather than later. It is better to set off as soon as possible."

However, Zhong Simei didn't care about what he said. She asked directly: "Dare I ask, will Taoist Shuihe go there in person?"

Gu Qingcai looked at the crowd and said, "If you have no objections, then we will decide on the candidate."

Zhenru Taoist said: "Okay. When will we set off?"

But having said that, if they don't gain something this time, when the red moon comes, the disaster will also be devastating.

Walking with that three hundred year old monster? It would be strange not to be scratched all over!

That Priest Shuihe could probably take care of seven of their "elites" with one hand.

Lu Qian was stunned by the Taoist's gaze.

Zhong Simei was stunned and immediately fell silent.

Qingxuan Guan even brought Lu Qiandu, who had just emerged, to be on the safe side.

He thought to himself: "Does Taoist Zhenru mean... to ask me to produce a flying magic weapon? Logically speaking, the foundations of Dali Imperial Court and Qingxuan Temple should be richer than those of Five Elements Island. What are they doing? Why are they like this? Do you want to put the problem on your own head?"

I understand all these thoughts in my heart, but I can't express them directly to Wuxing Island.

Uh……

The reason is also very simple.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Gu Qingcai's words.

Gu Qingcai said: "We are the five island owners, plus my senior brother Li Deyu, there are six people in total."

The owner of Mu Zhen Island felt very regretful at this time, but he did not expect that this time he would lift a rock and drop it on his own feet.

In other words, I don’t want to take the flying magic weapon they provide.

Although they now need to advance and retreat together in the face of the Red Moon disaster.

As soon as the flying boat came out, Zhenru and the others suddenly became embarrassed.

After many discussions, their current list was finally decided.

It was the Five Elements Island that made Lu Qian look at it with admiration.

Gu Qingcai reached into his arms, took out a small flying boat, and said, "We have also prepared a flying magic weapon."

Gu Qingcai said: "You guys have come a long way and have one night's rest. How about setting off early tomorrow morning?"

Taoist Zhenru changed the topic and said: "On our side, there are seven of us. I wonder who you are going to send?"

Gu Qingcai looked at everyone and said, "Then... let's go now?"

Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Island's foundation is really deep, and it even has flying magic weapons.

The people of Five Elements Island are obviously already prepared.

If the five island owners go together, once they fall, the blow to Five Elements Island can be said to be devastating.

Zhong Simei said coldly: "Don't you report such an important matter to Taoist Priest Shui He?"

The master of Mu Zhen Island was startled when he heard this and said: "Shui He... Taoist Priest Shui He has been hiding from the world for a long time. Of course... of course... we don't dare to disturb him."

However, the meaning in Taoist Zhenru's eyes was very clear. He did not want to be in the same boat as Wuxing Island.

Li Deyu explained: "This time, we need to enter the seabed from the center of the large whirlpool. Frankly speaking, I feel scared just looking at that large whirlpool. The danger of our entry this time can be imagined. This flying boat magic weapon , it has its own defensive formation, which has a certain protective effect. If there are thirteen of us... we should be able to squeeze in. "

At this point, Gu Qingcai paused for a moment and said, "Excuse me, in this case, if my master goes with you, will you... feel at ease?"

And even more "destructive".

Gu Qingcai said: "If Master Zhenmo or the National Master comes, then my master will personally accompany him. However, these two seniors did not come..."

However, this trip is so important that of course we cannot send a few ordinary disciples here to fool us.

Taoist Zhenru could only respond silently to the questioning of the island master Mu Zhen.

However, you must be on guard against others.

They didn't have such a good relationship with Five Elements Island in the first place, and they didn't dare to put all their wealth and lives on each other.

However, if you don't take the flying boat, you can only take their "Destiny".

The Destiny needs to sail on the sea, and it will inevitably be unable to catch up with the speed of the airship. And there are many monsters in the sea, which will inevitably delay the trip.

This is not very good.

Lu Qian took out the ghost sail from his arms, unfolded it, and said to Gu Qingcai: "I have also prepared a flying tool, so I don't have to bother Guidao."

Seeing Lu Qian take out the sailboat, Taoist Zhenru's eyes immediately revealed a look of approval.

The people on Five Elements Island looked at the paper-cut boat in Lu Qian's hand with dumbfounded expressions:

"Paper... paper boat? This..."

Taoist Zhenru smiled at everyone and said, "We, Lu Qian, practice the rare 'paper-cutting technique', which can cut paper into spirits. Even though this is a small paper boat, it also has a magical effect."

This is like a Taoist who probably doesn't know much about Lu Qian's "Ghost Sail".

Seeing him talking nonsense, Lu Qian cursed in his heart: "I didn't expect this old man to have such a side... At his age, isn't this behavior too rash?"

When Zhong Simei looked at her, there was a clear look of worry on her face. It was obvious that she did not have as much confidence in Lu Qian as Taoist Zhenru.

"Paper cutting?"

Gu Qingcai looked at Lu Qian with some surprise and said, "I have heard about this ancient technique before. I didn't expect that someone could really practice it.

Well, that being the case, please go ahead. "

Everyone got up one after another and came to the square outside the main hall.

Gu Qingcai placed the small and exquisite flying boat in his hand on the open space in the center of the square, and then stepped away.

Immediately, this palm-sized flying boat suddenly grew in size under everyone's eyes.

It turned into a canoe about one foot long.

In such a small boat, if the thirteen of them could stand next to each other, it might be possible, but it would be really "reluctant".

Then, the other four island owners including Gu Qingcai, Li Deyu, and Mu Zhen boarded the flying boat.

Gu Qingcai said: "We are waiting for you in the sky." After that, he made a magic formula with his hand and shined a bright light on the flying boat. A burst of brilliance flashed on the flying boat, and then it rose up from the ground and flew into the air.

Then, Taoist Zhenru looked at Lu Qian, waiting for him to take action.

Zhong Simei also looked at Lu Qian with a suspicious look on her face and said, "You...can you do it?"

Lu Qian ignored her and threw the ghost sail in his hand into the air.

The square is not large enough to accommodate the unfolded ghost sail.

The ghost sail flew into the air, suddenly unfolded, and turned into a huge sailboat, hovering in the air.

The huge sailing ship covered the entire square, with two rows of black gun ports exposed on both sides of the ship. The whole ship was filled with ghosts and looked a bit scary.

On the ground, everyone on Five Elements Island exclaimed when they saw it.

Even Zhen Ru and everyone else had a look of surprise on their faces.

Lu Qian said to everyone: "Just fly up."

After that, he took Wang Yuanzhang with him, stood up from the ground, and flew onto the ghost sail.

Not long after, Zhenru and others also flew to the deck one by one.

Taoist Zhenru looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Isn't it more comfortable to sit in this big boat than to squeeze into their small boat?"

Taoist Zhenhai laughed and agreed, "Indeed."

Everyone looked at the two brothers with speechless faces.

Taoist Zhenru completely ignored everyone's gazes and said in a familiar voice: "Let's go into the cabin and take a rest."

After that, he took the lead and walked towards the cabin.

Lu Qian ordered the sails to set sail, and asked Wang Yuanzhang to control the ghost sail to catch up with the airship in front, while he walked towards the cabin.

The cabin was very simple, with only a table and a few chairs. After everyone sat around, they smashed their mouths like a Taoist and said to Lu Qian: "Little friend Lu Qian, don't you even have tea here?"

Lu Qiandao took out a paper spirit and placed it on the ground. Then the body of the paper-cut figure filled up and turned into a young and beautiful woman.

Lu Qian said to Jing Yanxiu: "Go and make tea."

"Yes, sir."

Jing Yanxiu turned around and left. Everyone looked at Lu Qian's ability with envy on their faces. Even Taoist Zhenhai couldn't help but say, "Little friend Lu's surgery is really miraculous."

Lu Qian smiled and said: "It's just a small way. How can it be compared with the Taoism of Qingxuan Guan?"

Taoist Zhenhai laughed and said: "To be honest, our Taoist sect is a bit disdainful of the magic. Although the magic has its weird and special features, in real battles, our Taoism is more powerful. .but--"

Taoist Zhenhai changed the subject and said: "My little friend's paper-cutting technique looks very different from ordinary techniques. It seems to have some magical powers."

Lu Qian smiled slightly and said: "Although the paper-cutting technique has its unique features, as the Taoist priest said, if we really fight, how can we be the enemy of our Taoist sect's Five Thunders Zhengfa?"

"Hey, you can't say that..."

Taoist Zhenhai waved his hand, and when he turned around, he saw everyone looking at him. He opened his mouth and couldn't help swallowing the rest of the words, and turned to look at his senior brother.

Taoist Zhenru coughed and said, "I have installed a soundproof cover, so everyone can talk with confidence."

Zhong Simei said: "Taoist Master Zhenru, you are well-informed. Is that Taoist Shuihe... really over three hundred years old?"

As soon as Zhong Simei opened her mouth, she asked the question she was most concerned about.

As for Taoist Shuihe, everyone is also very concerned about it.

Taoist Zhenru pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard about the five island owners of Five Elements Island a long time ago, but... we also don't know much about the history of Five Elements Island. Your court, you have no idea about the Five Elements Island. Didn’t the island do any investigation?”

Zhong Simei sighed and said: "Five Elements Island is almost isolated from the mainland, and their strength has always been very strong. In order to avoid trouble, we have not investigated them in detail. Only recently, after receiving their letter , the imperial court launched its forces and strengthened its investigation of Wuxing Island.

However, Five Elements Island has also been destroyed in the Red Moon Catastrophe many times, and the data has been seriously lost, and we can obtain even less data. The only thing that is certain is that the names of the Five Elements Islands have appeared one after another in the past one thousand years, and the oldest one is Shuikan Island. "

Taoist Zhenhai nodded and said: "Speaking of which, the Five Elements Island actually originated from the Earth Immortals who went to the East China Sea to explore. Many Earth Immortals did not go there alone, but brought many disciples with them. Many of their disciples have stayed on Five Elements Island and continue to this day."

As he said that, Taoist Zhenhai looked at Zhong Simei and said, "Since we learned about Shuikan Island, its owner has been this Taoist Shuihe. Do you have any clues about this?"

Zhong Simei said: "Taoist Shui He took charge of Shuikan Island about eighty years ago."

When everyone heard Zhong Simei's words, they all showed doubts.

According to common sense, the person who can become the "Island Master" must be the one with the longest age and status in this sect, or the one with the highest cultivation level.

Taoist Shui He only started to take charge of Shuikan Island eighty years ago. Could it be said that eighty years ago, there were people on Shuikan Island whose age, status, and cultivation were higher than him?

After the exchange between Qingxuan Guan and the imperial court, they each realized that they knew too little about Five Elements Island.

Taoist Zhenru smiled "hey" and said: "Everyone, please stop guessing. We have never paid attention to Five Elements Island before, and there is no point in guessing at this time. Frankly speaking, although the scale of Five Elements Island is not big , but their strength has never been underestimated. If they say that they do not have the existence of the third-level Dharma Realm, I will definitely not believe it.

However, it is not necessarily true that the Shuihe Taoist's cultivation level is higher. With three hundred years of cultivation, he could reach the second-grade heavenly realm if he could survive. However, I estimate that he is most likely still at the peak of the Dharma Realm. Under the current conditions, it is extremely difficult to break through the realm of gods and humans. Otherwise, the world of cultivators in our mainland would not be what it is now. "

Everyone nodded when they heard Taoist Zhenru's words.

The spiritual energy disappeared, and their feelings of the fourth-grade cave underworld were not too deep; however, as the two strongest forces in the Dali Kingdom, they also had Dharma Realm cultivators, but they all knew that once their cultivation reached the upper level, Third level, if you want to take another step forward, it will be extremely difficult and dangerous.

And if you want to cross another big realm, it is almost impossible without a very special situation.

Zhong Simei spoke again: "Second question, they received a letter from Liuyun Sword Immortal, why did they tell us? Did they really not go to the maelstrom to investigate?"

Five Elements Island will inform them of their reasons, which they have already stated. The focus of Zhong Simei's question lies in the latter sentence.

Taoist Zhenru sneered and said: "Of course I went to investigate. Maybe there are already their people in the so-called 'undersea secret realm'. However, what Gu Qingcai said is not bad. If they dare to do such a thing, Keep it a secret. Not to mention others, at least we, the tens of thousands of disciples of Qingxuan Temple, all want to come to Five Elements Island to talk to them."

After hearing Taoist Zhenru's words, everyone nodded.

Taoist Zhenru continued: "This is also the reason why I don't ride on their flying boat. We must not have the intention of harming others, and we must have the intention of guarding against others. No matter when the time comes, our own freedom of movement must still be controlled in our own hands."

Having said this, Taoist Zhenru turned to look at Lu Qian and said, "Thanks to little friend Lu Qian for this. You don't have to be confused. We and Miss Zhuang naturally have all the flying tools, but they are all This ship is just not as convenient as yours."

Zhong Simei looked at Taoist Zhenru, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on her face.

At this time, Lu Qian suddenly reacted.

Whether it is Taoist Zhenru or Zhong Simei, they are unwilling to ride on the other's flying magic weapon.

Being in the opponent's flying magic weapon means that half of your body is controlled by the opponent, which is naturally intolerable to them.

And it would be inconvenient to move separately.

Lu Qian does not belong to either of them, so it is most suitable to take him as the middleman's boat.

After thinking about this, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel wary: "Whether it's Taoist Zhenru or Zhong Simei, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Each person has eight hundred tricks. He should be more vigilant when acting under their hands. .”

At the very least, he should act as conservatively as possible.

None of these people can completely trust the other. Once anyone makes any extraordinary move, it will inevitably cause the other party to misunderstand.

At this time, Jing Yanxiu and Wang Yuanzhang walked in with tea trays and distributed tea to everyone.

Finally, Wang Yuanzhang took out a dark crow from under the tea tray and handed it to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian was stunned and asked, "What is this?"

Wang Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It just flew over from the front."

Zhenru Taoist said: "This is the 'Yuanyangcrow'. Hey, this little thing, although it looks like a crow, is like a pair of mandarin ducks. There is a special telepathy between each pair of mandarin ducks and crows. Even though we are hundreds of miles away, this feeling exists."

After hearing Taoist Zhenru's words, Lu Qian understood instantly: "Is this a walkie-talkie?"

Lu Qian took the black crow and put it on the table.

Taoist Zhenru said to the black crow: "Dear island owners, I am Zhenru."
