Nine idlers

Chapter 63 The Taoist Monk

"What's going on here? How did it become like this?" Niu Gangzhen and the others immediately rushed over to Pingxiang Town after the Zhenhun Pagoda sank into the ground. However, when they arrived here, the scene in front of them made them feel unprecedented He couldn't help but anxiously asked Tang Wan and Yan Feng who had arrived here one step ahead.

"We've only just arrived, so I don't know what happened?" Tang Wan lost her expression, looking at the scene in front of her with horror in her heart.

I saw that the huge Ping Township in front of everyone had disappeared, and the ground seemed to have been scraped, and it sank neatly to a depth of one meter, forming a huge circle with the Zhenhun Pagoda as the center.The only thing left in the whole town is a dilapidated base of the archway, and at the position of the Zhenhun Tower, there is only a deeper and huge pothole. The surface of the pothole is as flat as a mirror, and under the moonlight Under it, it can also reflect the shining light.

"Where is Xu Changqing? Where is Xu Changqing?" Yan Feng woke up from the shock, and quickly said: "Everyone look around immediately to see if you can find Xu Changqing? Quick!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Feng used the secret land search method of the Donghua School, driving the Spirit Sword to incarnate tens of thousands of people, scattered around, and searched for nearby living things.After hearing Yan Feng's words, the others also used their unique skills to search for Xu Changqing's whereabouts.However, after two hours passed, they searched every inch of land in a radius of more than 50 miles, but still did not find any living creature larger than a field mouse.When everyone returned to Pingxiang Town in disappointment, Tang Bin had already led the people here. The scene in front of him definitely shocked him far more than Niu Gangzhen and other practitioners. Tang Wan beside him was explaining to him everything.

Since the Niu family and Captain Mo Jin were all engaged in illegal business and had no interest in dealing with people in the officialdom, they bid farewell to Tang Wan and left together with the body of the martyr who died last night.They are going to return to Tianjin as soon as possible, and tell the high-level members of the alliance of the lower Jiuliu sect what happened here and the news of Xu Changqing's disappearance, so as to decide whether to go to Beiping to exterminate the demons on the fifth day of next month.

Yan Feng also asked the surviving elders of the outer hall to return to Qixia Mountain with two corpses from the same sect, while he stayed behind and wanted to search carefully again. If Xu Changqing was not found, he would go to Peiping on the fifth day of next month , to stop the Profound Handle Heavenly Demon from defying the sky.The elders of the outer hall of the Donghua sect were also very aware of Yan Feng's character, so they didn't say much, but said that they would invite some disciples of the authentic outer hall of the immortal Buddha who had made good friends to go to Peiping to help out.

"Hero Yan, what kind of magic do you think caused this?" After explaining to her nephew who was not much younger than herself, Tang Wan walked to Yan Feng's side, looked at the scene in front of her with lingering fear, and asked.

"I don't know!" Yan Feng shook his head, and said worriedly: "Spells with such powerful power have only been recorded in the biographies of ancient practitioners, and no one knows this kind of spells anymore! What kind of spell, the only thing that is certain is that people who are surrounded by such a powerful force will definitely not be able to survive."

"Hero Yan, you mean...Mr. Xu already..." Tang Wan said with a startled expression, her expression was extremely anxious, and she said in disbelief.

Yan Feng shook his head, sighed, and said: "The lineage of Jiuliu Xianren can't be deduced with common sense, maybe he has some secret method to survive, after all, not everyone can be called the No. 1 outsider. The only thing I know is that if Changqing is still alive, he will definitely go to Peiping on the fifth day of next month."

Hearing Yan Feng's words, Tang Wan fell into deep thought, and suddenly seemed to have made a decision, and said, "Hero Yan, I will go to Peiping with you next month!"

"Are you going to Peiping? You won't..." Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Wan for a long time, saw her strange expression, and slowly persuaded him: "Listen to the old man, don't get too deep, It's better to withdraw as soon as possible!"

"Hero Yan, what are you talking about!" Tang Wan blushed shyly, and then there was a flash of sadness, and said: "I am from a husband's family. I want to go back to my husband's house. The reason why I went to Peiping was to carry on my mother's last wish, to eliminate demons and defend the Tao! There is absolutely no other idea."

"Nothing is the best!" Yan Feng saw that Tang Wan's words were insincere, sighed, and said earnestly: "Nine streams of idlers are almost all people with stable Taoism and cold temperament, even if it involves love. Starting from self-interest, Changqing is the best among them. If you fall into it, you will only be the one who will be hurt in the end. Take care of yourself! Girl of the Tang family."

"Thank you! Hero Yan reminded me!" Tang Wan bowed and nodded, but from her expression, it seemed that she didn't take Yan Feng's words to heart.

Afterwards, Tang Wan, Yan Feng and Tang Bin's men searched the surrounding land again, but after finding nothing, they gave up searching.The next day, Yan Feng, Tang Wan and Tang Bin escorted Mrs. Tang's body back to Yuncheng, held a grand funeral for her, and buried her in a private house that she had prepared before her death.During the days when the funeral was held, Yan Feng stayed in Yuncheng all the time, using the method of spiritual sword to pass on the letter to Sifang's long-standing friends. After Tang Bin learned about Yan Feng, a knight-errant like a sword fairy, from his aunt, he began to... Deliberately flattering, Yan Feng hoped to learn every trick from him.

According to Yan Feng's previous personality, he would never make friends with people in the officialdom, but perhaps Xu Changqing's words in front of the Zhenhun Pagoda played a role. He felt that he should find some helpers in the secular world to help him through robbery.So Tang Bin was accepted by Yan Feng as a named disciple without spending much time, and in these days, he planted a spirit sword with the secret method of Donghua School, and taught him a set of sword cultivation methods from the outer hall.Although this set of sword cultivation methods is not the way of the great way, it can be regarded as a rare set of skills. After it is completed, it can be regarded as a top master in the secular world, and it can be regarded as half a practitioner. The ability to protect oneself in troubled times.

By the time the mundane chores were done, ten days had passed since the fifteenth day. After Yan Feng and Tang Wan cleaned up, they set off for the north, took a carriage to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and then took a train to Tianjin. Arrive in Peiping before the fifth day of next month.

On the day when Yan Feng and his wife left for the north, a monk in plain yellow cassock and holding a dead bamboo in his hand came to the Tianfu Inn in Shijiazhuang.I saw this monk has an elegant appearance, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, solemn and solemn expression, a red mark on his forehead, although his clothes are thin, he is not disturbed by the cold in the end of spring at all, his feet are bare, but not a little dust, and at the same time his whole body Everyone exudes a pleasant and calming power, and one can tell that he is a good monk at a glance.

"Amitabha!" After the monk came in, he walked directly to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, are the two children I left in your store a few days ago still there?"

The innkeeper, who was settling accounts, raised his head and saw the monk and a group of people who looked like believers behind him. After discussing some things, he said, "So it's you, Master! Your two apprentices left seven days ago, and I heard they are going to Tianjin."

"Going away?" The monk smiled lightly, nodded, and then bowed to the shopkeeper's palms together, saying, "Thank you for your guidance."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave, but the shopkeeper of the inn quickly stood up, stopped the monk, and said earnestly: "Master, please stay! I don't know if you can calculate the fortune of these years for the old man?"

The monk was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "How did the benefactor know that the poor monk will rely on fate?"

"When the master's two apprentices lived here, they once 'shown' their hands, and they are really amazing." The shopkeeper said with a smile truthfully: "Since the apprentices are so strong, how can they be inferior as a master?"

The monk frowned slightly, shook his head, and said with a helpless smile: "This Xiaojuan told her not to reveal what she had learned at will, and everyone knew it within a few days."

This monk is none other than Xu Changqing who disappeared in the battle of Pingxiang.On the same day, Xu Changqing was impacted by the mixed forces of relics, five thunders of the gods and the true power of the gods. Although he was resisted by Huangquan Banner, he still had to bear the impact of great power, and then he suffered from the soul suppressing with powerful power Direct impact of tower fragments.Fortunately, his Hunyuan golden body was quite accomplished, and under such a strong impact, he didn't suffer much damage, but passed out after being hit.

When Xu Changqing was swept into the air by the impact force together with the dust on the ground, and carried out dozens of miles away, the Jiuliu Dao in his body started to run rapidly, absorbing the power contained in the impact force on the one hand, and mobilizing the will of heaven and earth Power and five elements aura to repair the damaged Hunyuan Golden Body.When he fell, his body was covered with a layer of broken stones and rotten tiles crushed by the impact force, and Huang Quanfan also automatically retreated into the consciousness of Zhongdantian due to excessive wear and tear. Absorb five-element aura from internal organs to repair damage.Under the effect of Jiuliu Avenue, he himself fell into a self-healing state similar to fetal breath, so that all the people who looked around thought it was just a pile of stones, and never thought of removing the stones on it. Move out and have a look.

It wasn't until two days ago, when Xu Changqing's body had almost recovered, that Jiuliu Avenue woke him up from the fetal breathing state.Xu Changqing, who had just woken up, didn't feel any discomfort in his body. Instead, he felt that the strength of the Hunyuan Golden Body was much more refined than before, and the boulder pressing on him was easily pushed away.But when he sat down to run Jiuliu Dao to check his body, he was shocked. The golden core and true energy in his body was fine, but the golden liquid's true essence was nearly half missing.All the golden 'liquid' true essence circulates quickly in Ren Du's second meridian with the method of circulating qi in the small circle. Nearly [-]% of the golden 'liquid' true essence produced by traveling through a circle of heaven passes through the second consciousness of the mind and spirit, and is poured into the Huangquan streamer Among them, Daotu, Yinshen Stick, and Shenmu, they are slowly accumulating with golden 'liquid' and true essence while they are refined with Samadhi true fire.

However, what really surprised Xu Changqing was that, except for Shenmu, the Yinshen Stick, Daotu and Huangquan Fan seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and were not driven by the mind at all.Fortunately, the Dao True Spirits of these spirit treasures are still there, and they can still observe everything in the Lingbao through the Dao True Spirits, otherwise he must think that these spirit treasures have been damaged in the impact.Right now, the only treasures he can use are the two spiritual treasures of the Maitreya sect that he has in his sleeves, the Bodhisattva relic with a little overdrawn Buddha power, and a dead bamboo that he refined.

Although he was a little surprised that some of his strongest spirit treasures could not be used, Xu Changqing was not worried about it. He had already learned from the Dao True Spirit in the spirit treasures that these spirit treasures were evolving and recuperating, and when they could be used Sometimes it is naturally driven by it.He is very clear that this kind of spirit treasure that already has spirituality will not only automatically save the Lord, but also know how to repair itself. If you force them at this time, it will damage the spirit treasure instead, and it will be a bit of a loss.

After counting the time, Xu Changqing decided to go north to Tianjin immediately. Since most of the clothes on his body were torn, it would be indecent to continue wearing them, so he took out the Maitreya cassock that was in his sleeve and put it on.Maybe it's because Xu Changqing's Hunyuan golden body has absorbed a lot of the true power of Ksitigarbha, plus the merits obtained from refining a battle soul in a soul-suppressing tower, his body and face exude a similar The compassionate Dharma image of the Dao eminent monk makes people involuntarily have a kind of respect and closeness to him as soon as they approach him.Coupled with his head that has just grown a little hair, and the dead bamboo that he made himself, it seems to be an image of an eminent monk who walks the world and rescues the suffering. Even Xu Changqing can't help but sigh.

Since I want to pretend to be a wandering monk, I need to know some Buddhist exercises, and I need to further refine the Maitreya cassock and the spirit beads of crossing the world, so that I can't use the spirit treasures on my body on the fifth day of next month. Do it when you need it.Xu Changqing took out the secret book of Maitreya sect obtained from Shi Maitreya, looked at it carefully, and absorbed it into his own Jiuliu Dao.Taiqing Yuangang and Dushi Lingzhu originally belonged to the Taoist lineage, and he quickly mastered them. Among them, the use of Taiqing Yuangang, in a disguised form, made him once again enhance the power of Daowu and Hunyuan Golden Body. It sounds like a big gain.As for the Maitreya Sect's other set of white lotus crossing the world formula, although it has not been fully mastered, it is not difficult to disguise one's own Taoist true essence as the white lotus Buddha element with the magic of the Jiuliu Dao. He was able to walk on the road to Tianjin without any flaws as a monk.

Due to the refining of the two spiritual treasures of the Maitreya Sect and the integration of some Buddhist and Taoist methods of the Maitreya Sect, Xu Changqing did not walk fast. It took almost a day to get out of the mountains and arrive at Shijiazhuang.Because of his deliberate use of the Five Elements Taoism, his body and clothes have the ability to avoid dust. In addition, he performed the Maitreya School's method with bare feet, so that the dust on the place he stepped on automatically formed a lotus shape, forming a lotus-like lotus. The illusion of an eminent monk caused him to cause quite a stir not long after he entered Shijiazhuang, and he also had a group of loyal believers.
