Heaven's Path

Daqing Valley is located in a small hill fifty miles southwest of Xianzhou. It is surrounded by mountains and has a pleasant climate. There are flowers that bloom all the year round and evergreen trees in the valley.Luoxia Temple is a small Taoist temple. The original site was an old temple. Due to years of disrepair, several side halls collapsed, and the weeds in the hall were knee-deep. Of course, this was the scene before Li Tiezui came.

Li Tiezui traveled here ten years ago, seeing the abundance of aura, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, he lingered here forever.It took nearly five years to renovate the Taoist temple with the money earned from fortune-telling. One evening, he watched the opposite mountain peak dyed fiery red by a sunset in front of the temple. sunset.Li Tiezui has deep feelings for Luoxia Temple, which is why he would rather take risks than leave this place.

At this time, in one of the side rooms in the view, the lights flickered, Chen Yunsheng, Liu Xiaoshan, Hei Gu, Li Tiezui and two children were sitting around a table of eight immortals. A lot of mountain delicacies.

The five people and a skeleton chatted very lively. Li Tiezui completely forgot the sorrow just now, and his iron mouth was full of foam, chatting from flying in the sky to running on the ground. , there seemed to be nothing on the Qingzhou Continent that he didn't know about, even Black Bones couldn't help nodding.

Chen Yunsheng didn't have much interest in the delicacies and wild game on the table. He was used to these things when he was practicing in Ling Yunfeng, so he concentrated on what Li Tiezui said.Because it was trauma, after a few days of cultivation, there is also a magic medicine to treat trauma, so it healed quickly.

Liu Xiaoshan seemed to be more interested in the two boys, chatting with He Wangchuan and Fang Minglan about children from time to time, like a kind big sister, often making the two children laugh.

After the food was over, Li Tiezui sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "If there is no such bad luck in front of us, how carefree we are waiting. But we have caused such a big bad luck."

Hei Gu smiled and said: "Brother Li, I have heard a saying that wealth and wealth are found in danger. I don't think you are the kind of person who wants to live a mediocre life. This time is a good opportunity."

Li Tiezui said seriously: "Brother Heigu's words are golden and jade, I have learned."

He cleared his mind a little, and then said: "Although Poor Dao is a little poor in cultivation, he has done some research on talismans. He likes to develop talismans by himself on weekdays. Otherwise, I dare not say that I, Li Tiezui, do not exist on the Qingzhou Continent." An unknown talisman."

"Tale masters? There are very few talisman masters in the practice world, and the price of spiritual talismans is very high. I don't know why you want to do divination for others." Hei Gu asked puzzled.

Li Tiezui smiled wryly, and said: "Although I am good at making talismans, the talismans I make cannot be sold. I am not afraid of your jokes, I, Li Tiezui, also have an inheritance. The inheritance of the school has been exhausted in my life, but there is still a lot of trouble." Some old rules and regulations are retained. For example, the saying that talisman does not sell."

"Won't the talisman be sold? As far as I know, there are really a few old fairy sects in the world who uphold this kind of style, but they are all a bit bleak." Black Bones said.

Li Tiezui chuckled and said: "Brother Heigu has extensive knowledge. As for those rules and regulations, they will be buried with the old man when he dies. That's why the two boys only call me Master and don't accept my orthodoxy."

"If Li Daoyou is said to have fallen from a famous family, do you know if there is any inheritance in your sect? As far as I know, the sect of repairing talismans has a lot of inheritance, and they are all powerful talismans left by the great monks of the past. Just take out one They are all priceless." Hei Bone continued to ask.

Li Tie's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "Brother Heigu is really a master. I can deduce so much from a single sentence, which I really admire. This time I dared to take risks with myself, and I still have some tricks in my hand." .”

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from the Qiankun bag under his body, opened the lid, and Chen Yunsheng saw three shining golden talismans inside. It seemed that there were three little dragons swimming among them in the golden light, which was very strange.

Seeing this thing, Hei Gu couldn't help being surprised and said, "Could it be that this is a summoning talisman?"

Li Tie said in a secretive way: "Brother Black Bone is really well-informed. These three are the summoning charms of the real dragon, and they are the treasures of the township left by my teacher. But now the teacher has fallen, and in my generation It's just me." There was a little sigh in his words.

"If it is a summoning talisman of the true spirit level, let alone alchemy cultivators, even Nascent Soul and old monsters who refine gods have to stay away. It seems that this time the ancient wood can be dealt with without much effort." The black bone understood. road.

"That's the truth, but these three talismans have been passed down from generation to generation in the master's sect. I can't bear to let them be passed down to my generation and be used up. I can't do it to the senior master. So if there is another way To defeat the enemy, I dare not take it out and use it lightly." The Taoist murmured.

"With this thing at the bottom, it will make us more free. It's better to decide on the strategy to defeat the enemy now. If you know something about this ancient tree, you might as well tell us about it." Black Bone said.

"Gumu Daoist lives in Shuangyi Mountain, [-] miles north of Xianzhou. This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. The mountain is majestic and dragon veins gather. It is a holy place for cultivation. It is said that Gumu has been enlightened for a hundred years. There is no one in the cultivation world who can defeat him."

"Sitting down, there are five disciples, and the other two protectors are all in the foundation building stage. There are dozens of disciples in the Qi training stage in the sect, and they rely on the Youlong Gang to accumulate wealth and accumulate external skills. The Youlong Gang is One of the best gangs in Xianzhou City, the gang leader Duan Xiude is unrivaled in martial arts, but because the five elements in his body are restrained by xing, he cannot cultivate true energy into spiritual energy, so he is the leader of the gang, but his ability should not be underestimated."

Liu Xiaoshan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, interjected at this moment: "I only heard that immortal cultivators are powerful, they can take heads from thousands of miles away, and with the help of the five elements, how can ordinary people in the martial arts world surpass monks? "

Without waiting for Li Tiezui to answer her, Black Bones said: "What do you know, little girl? The inner strength and heart method in this martial arts is the method of breathing, carrying, and practicing inner breath. With inner breath, you can use Taoist formulas to inhale the inner breath." The breath is refined into the innate true energy, which is the spiritual energy."

"Isn't it true that all martial arts practitioners can become monks?" Liu Xiaoshan asked.

"No, the cultivation of immortality depends on the support of one's own roots. If a person has all the five elements, then the road to immortality is basically impossible. Because the five elements are restrained, and the five elements mean that each sect has another restraint, In this way, it is impossible to complete the process of transferring the inner breath into innate true energy."

"Becoming a monk doesn't mean you can be better than a martial arts master. The benefits of cultivating immortals are mainly to be closer to the way of heaven, which can prolong your life. As for driving the five elements, it's a low-level benefit. It's just incidental. For example, I will hit you with fire control , if you are superior in lightness kung fu, you can naturally dodge it, and then come to me with lightning speed to attack, since my formula has just been released, I haven't recovered, and I can't stop it, so I will naturally be killed by you."

"So compared with ordinary martial arts practitioners, those who cultivate immortals just have more power to drive the five elements. Supplemented by talismans, magic weapons, and magic circles, it seems that there are several more methods, but they are also distracting. In the end, it is unknown who will die. The above is only applicable to monks below the foundation building level, if you really step into the fairy gate, not to mention the power to move mountains and fill the sea, it is the ability to control the sky, thunder and fire, and it is not something ordinary people can stop." Hei Hei Said in one breath.

"If you want me to say that the biggest advantage of a monk is that his lifespan is prolonged and he has more time available, which is naturally incomparable to ordinary martial arts masters, which has caused the misunderstanding of the supernatural powers of immortals. I see that many monks in the qi training period do not The foundation of martial arts is only the practice of five-element spells and some simple magic tools, such a person will naturally not be able to compare with real martial arts masters." Li Tiezui added on the side.

Liu Xiaoshan nodded thoughtfully, suddenly his eyes flashed brightly, and he said sweetly: "Master Black Bone, please take a look at my nature, can I cultivate immortality?"

According to the words, Hei Gu put out two black bone fingers and put them on Liu Xiaoshan's white wrist. It took about a cup of tea, he moved his fingers away, and said in surprise: "You are actually a pure water spirit root, Kui Jing Body!"

Chen Yunsheng felt that Hei Gu was very surprised. This person is well-informed, and there are very few things that can surprise him. Even when Li Tiezui took out the summoning talisman of the real spirit level just now, he was only surprised for a moment. It's amazing to come to this body of Kui Jing.

Liu Xiaoshan blinked his starry eyes, and then asked: "Can such a spiritual root be cultivated?"

"Cultivation is definitely not a problem, and your aptitude is especially suitable for practicing water-type exercises. If you have expert advice, your achievements in the future should not be below the cultivation level of the old man in his heyday. It is just around the corner!" Black Bones sincerely said exclaimed.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoshan smiled slyly and said, "Then how is my rootedness compared to brother Chen's?" After speaking, she aimed her eyes towards Chen Yunsheng.

"Hehe, although he is not as overbearing as his Heavenly Spirit, but cultivation is a matter of man's effort, in the eyes of this old man, he is indistinguishable." Hei Gu replied.

He Wangchuan looked at what they were talking about, and felt itchy in his heart, wanting to know his own roots, but he couldn't see his roots based on his master Li Tiezui's cultivation.He tentatively said: "Senior Black Bone, can you tell me about my roots?"

Looking at the anticipation in He Wangchuan's eyes, Hei Gu couldn't help smiling, and said, "Okay, today I will help you guys look at your root talents."

After finishing speaking, he placed two fingers of his left hand on He Wangchuan's wrist, and his right hand on Fang Minglan's wrist, and used his spirit energy to circulate in the two of them. After a while, he had the answer, and said to Li Tiezui: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist Li, you The roots of the two apprentices are not bad, the boy has dual roots of fire and earth, and the girl has dual roots of gold and water, both of which are spiritual roots that complement each other, although they are not as pure as a single spiritual root, they are still one in a million."

Hearing this, Li Tiezui suddenly faced the east, bowed his knees, kowtowed three times, and said: "Thank you, masters and ancestors, for your protection, our family will not be drowned in the long river of time." (1)

1. Note: In the world of practice, there is no contradiction between shouldering one lineage and worshiping another lineage.Only when Li Tiezui passes on his mantle to his disciples, then he needs to accept the various rules of the sect, and he is not allowed to join other sects.
