Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 4
  After running around all night, fighting fires everywhere, it was not until dawn that these water monsters returned to Mirror Lake.

After all, Xu Li's foundation was still shallow. He had been killing for a whole night. At this time, there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He sat cross-legged on the spot and used his luck to restore his magic power.

After more than half an hour, the mana was back to its peak, and there was still considerable progress.

Although the Gourd Sword Technique has been refined with magical talismans and is no longer just strong, it is derived from Taibai Taoism and is a real killing sword technique. The most suitable way to practice it is to practice it in a killing battle.

His cultivation improved again, and Xu Li was in a good mood. He stood up and shook his Taoist robe to disperse the dew on his body.

At this time, the rising sun happened to be rising in the east, illuminating thousands of golden snakes on the lake surface, flickering.

Xu Li wanted to recite a poem to express his feelings. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that although he remembered eight hundred Tang poems and thousands of Song poems, he did not have that talent, so he had to whisper to himself:

"There are also great literati in China in Chixian County. If they can achieve immortality in the future, we should also learn from those senior masters who traveled around the world and studied these poems. This will save us from having any ideas in the future if we want to pretend."

The Mirror Lake is hundreds of feet deep. With Xu Li's eyesight, he can only vaguely see a Buddha's light shining at the bottom of the lake. A huge golden bowl covers a prosperous palace in the water, but the specific situation cannot be clearly seen.

After scanning the lakeside for a long time, he still couldn't see where the old monk was. Xu Li didn't force himself and turned around to return.

Returning to the Dragon King Temple, I saw the God of Ma in the temple holding a big cauldron and making soup. After seeing Xu Li, he pointed to the yellow-skinned gourd next to him and said:
  "Fellow Taoist, you came just in time. This is the righteousness and detoxification soup that I made. Please spread it into nearby water sources to prevent epidemics for the people."

Hearing that it was serious business, Xu Li didn't dare to neglect it. After taking the gourd, he left the Dragon King Temple without stopping.

Jinghu Lake is connected to the canal on the upper side and the Han River on the lower side. It is an extremely critical waterway. Because of the Jiao Fu incident, the upper and lower reaches have been blocked for half a month, and many merchant ships can stop and wait.

At the ferry of the Han River, looking at the densely packed merchant ships parked in the river, a beautiful nun with hair who was practicing meditation couldn't help but shake her head and sighed.

"Amitabha."

Next to him, a little girl who looked six or seven years old heard the master sigh, raised her head and asked innocently:
  "Master, are you hungry? Xue'er, please go and ask for alms."

The childish and innocent tone of the little girl diluted the worries in Master Fentuo's heart and said with a smile:

"Master is not hungry. He just feels sad for the people when he sees that there is so much food, but it cannot be transported to the north because of the dragons' troubles."

Unlike Dafeng in the south, there is a severe drought in the north this year, and grain production has been severely reduced. Tens of millions of people in Heluo, Yanyun and other places have only relied on the steady flow of grain from the south to stabilize the situation.

Now that the river is blocked, something unspeakable may happen in the north for every day of delay. Master Fentuo practices in Wutai Mountain. Although it is not the center of the disaster, it is not far away, so it is normal to be worried.

Different from the novels that Xu Li had read in his previous life, there are real immortal Buddhas in Chixian Shenzhou. However, these real immortal Buddhas do not have the mentality of treating ordinary people as ants. Instead, they often reveal their great magic power and protect them. Ordinary people.

Even the most ferocious five demonic sects will not kill mortals for no reason.

After all, without this wonderful mortal world, what’s the point of watching it forever?
  The little girl was pure-hearted and not so compassionate or sentimental. After hearing that the master was not hungry, she just said "oh" with regret and shrugged her little head.

Apparently, the kid was hungry.

Master Fentuo smiled and shook his head, took out a candy bar and put it into the little girl's mouth.

"Thank you, Master." The little girl smiled with eyes like crescent moons, very cute. "Yuzhi, Yuyao, meet the master." At this time, two more people arrived.

I saw that the person who came was sixteen or seventeen years old, and they looked exactly the same. They all had picturesque eyebrows and skin like snow, as if they had stepped out of a painting.

Seeing the person coming, Master Fentuo looked happy and asked:

"When will Old Palace Master Song arrive?"

After hearing Fentuo's question, the elder sister of the twins, Song Yuzhi, cupped her fists and replied:
  "Let the master know that grandpa has found a ten thousand year cloud beast in the Jiutian Gang layer. Now he really can't get away. However, the Taiyi Qingling Ark borrowed by the master has been brought by my two sisters. Grandpa ordered Now, let the two of us follow the master’s instructions.”

The Song family is a famous figure among the Sanxian. The head of the Song family, Song Laoji, is a world-famous senior Sanxian. His ability in refining weapons has even been praised by the red-haired ancestor who is famous for his many treasures. Pass.

The Taiyi Qingling Boat was made by Song Laoji in imitation of the warships used by the ancient Holy Emperors to conquer foreign lands. Although it was far less powerful, it was suitable for use today.

Fentuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first half of Song Yuzhi's words. But after he finished listening, he breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded:

"With Taiyi Qinglingzhou here, the people in the north can be saved."

"Master is compassionate, I admire you." The two women bowed, and Song Yuzhi presented the Taiyi Qingling Boat with both hands.

I saw that the Taiyi Qingling Boat was only seven inches long, but it was full of green light. There was a ball of Qingling Qi under the boat, and I knew it was an extraordinary treasure of the immortal family.

Master Fentuo accepted the Taiyi Qinglingzhou, and then he remembered to ask the little apprentice, whose big eyes were rolling around with curiosity, to come and greet the two girls of the Song family.

After the two parties greeted each other, Master Fentuo no longer delayed and led everyone to find the transshipment envoy in charge of the canal. After explaining his intention, the court official was also very happy. These days, the canal is blocked, and his hair has turned gray due to worry.

But compared to the floods caused by the dragon's appearance and eroding the entire south, we can only choose the lesser of two evils to allow the people in the north to persevere.

After all, if even this big granary in the south was destroyed, then the Tang Dynasty would really be over.

Now that he heard that Master Fentuo had magical powers to transport thousands of grains to the capital, Ambassador Li almost entered Buddhism on the spot, and from then on he only worshiped Buddha.

After half a day of coordination, Master Fentuo handed over his greedy little disciple to the care of the two daughters of the Song family, and then he came to the ferry to release the Taiyi Qingling Boat. As Fentuo's mana was activated, the originally seven-inch The small boat, in the blink of an eye, has grown to the size of a thousand feet.

Master Fentuo jumped onto the spirit boat. With a flick of his monk's robe, a 100-meter-long Buddha's light swept towards the ship piled with grain below. Bags of grain were then taken onto the spirit boat.

The Buddha's light kept flashing, and when the people and businessmen below saw this miracle, they all kowtowed and shouted "Bodhisattva".

Although the real immortals and Buddhas often show their great magic power to protect the world, the word "often" is used in the entire history. In the short decades of ordinary people's lives, it is still extremely rare.

After a while, hundreds of ships' food was loaded onto the spirit boat by Fentuo. After the beautiful nun recited a Buddhist chant, she urged the spirit boat to turn into a ray of blue light and head towards the north.

And those common people who witnessed his supernatural powers have become the most devout believers in Buddhism at this moment.

There are two divine monks, Zhi Gong and Fa Hai, subduing the dragon, and Fen Tuo is showing Buddhism below to help the people and the court. Regardless of whether they are sincerely compassionate or not, this time, Buddhism really shows its face.
