Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

"The secret of heaven is a little clearer."

Wang Ba stood in front of Chunyang Palace with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky, counting with his hands, his eyes thoughtful.

He did not deduce the giant elephant Moro or the spiritual beast of Taoism, and they still could not be deduced.

What he calculated was Taoist Bing's journey ahead.

Although it was vague because it involved the Taoist spirit beast, at this moment, a little spiritual light was faintly revealed.

This also means that although the secret of the sky is still unclear, Taoist Bing's actions on Beihai Continent have cleared away a little of the fog that shrouded the front.

"In other words, the ancestor of the Qin family who has patched up the sky, Qin Dengyuan, is indeed causally involved with those monks from Xituozhou who fled..."

Wang Hao thought carefully and deduced the situation that Taoist Bing might encounter next.

But not long after, he frowned and put down his calculating palm.

"The time has not come yet... What kind of opportunities does this Beihai Continent contain?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt something in my heart.

After counting with his fingers, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself:

"What a coincidence."

After that, he looked down.

Not long after, a disciple flew over in a hurry from the Diwu Palace.

He saluted respectfully and said:

"Deputy sect leader, the head of the Qin family wants to see you."

Wang Hao nodded slightly, without any surprise on his face, and nodded:

"welcome."

After saying that, he returned to Chunyang Palace.

The sect leader, Qu Shentong, was away. Although he could not violate the etiquette and sit in the sect leader's position, there was no problem in using Chunyang Palace to meet the head of the Qin family.

Not long after, Ma Shengxu, the master of the Diwu Palace, personally led Qin Shengyong over.

Qin Shengyong came here through the teleportation array of the Diwu Palace. As the master of the Diwu Palace, Ma Shengxu naturally did not dare to neglect him.

When he saw Wang Ba, Qin Shengyong saluted enthusiastically and said:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, the last time Yazonghai turned the tide and avoided the disaster of the Jin Dynasty, I never had time to be grateful..."

Wang Hao laughed softly and said:

"The leader of the Qin family has made a serious statement. There are three sects and one clan in the Jin Dynasty. There is no distinction between them. How can there be any words of gratitude?"

"Fellow Daoist Wang has great righteousness and is truly a master of Taoism!"

Qin Shengyong couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether they really thought so or just making fun of it, the two of them chatted for a while in Chunyang Palace.

Seeing that Wang Ba remained motionless, chatting and laughing happily, he had no intention of asking about his purpose.

After all, Qin Shengyong lacked concentration and couldn't bear it anymore. He said with a hint of embarrassment on his face:

"To be fair to Friend Wang, Qin came to your sect with an unkind invitation."

"oh?"

Wang Ba seemed a little surprised and said in surprise:

"An unkind invitation? Where do you start talking about this?"

Now that he had spoken, Qin Shengyong no longer tried to hide his words, and said nervously:

"Qin heard that the Zhongsheng Continent can allow cultivators to transform into gods, and your sect also has a teleportation array there. Now I have an uncle from the Qin family who has finally perfected his Taoism and wants to sprint towards transforming into gods, so... …”

When Wang Bao heard this, he seemed to suddenly realize: "This is what the Master of the Qin family is doing."

Qin Shengyong said embarrassedly:

"Yes, Qin also knows that there is something wrong with this. After all, it must have been very expensive for your sect to build a teleportation array spanning such a distance."

He immediately said:

"However, I, the Qin family, are also willing to share part of the cost of this teleportation array. I only hope that your sect can give my Qin family's children a chance."

Although Zhongshengzhou is far away from Fenglinzhou, it is not scary.

It's just that whether they encounter Yuanqi riots or many ferocious beasts, ordinary Yuanying monks cannot deal with them.

After the heavenly change, the Qin family's decline became even more serious. It was extremely difficult and risky to rely on the Qin family's strength to travel to Zhongsheng Continent alone.

As for Qin Lingxiao, he has been unable to contact him.

In this way, after considering many aspects, it became the best choice to borrow the path from Wanxiang Sect.

This is exactly Qin Shengyong's consideration.

This is also a situation that Wang Ba is well aware of.

But what shocked Qin Shengyong was that the extremely young deputy head of the Wanxiang Sect shook his head and laughed.

Qin Shengyong couldn't help but hesitate:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what does this mean?"

But I heard Wang Ba laugh and say:

"How come Master Qin is so estranged? Our families have known each other for tens of thousands of years, and we have an irreversible relationship. It's just a teleportation array, but we asked Master Qin to come in person."

"Master Qin just needs to talk to Palace Master Ma. As for the expenses, if our Wanxiang Sect accepts them, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the two founders? Don't mention the expense again!"

"this……"

Qin Shengyong was surprised and happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but hesitate:

"Where is the Ke Qu Sect Master..."

Wang Yan suddenly looked unhappy:

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter. If Sect Leader Qu knew about it, he would only blame me for bothering him with this trivial matter. I can resolve this matter in one word."

Then he started laughing again:

"Speaking of which, the Qin family leader and I hit it off right away. Now that the Qin family leader is here, it would be better to choose a day that coincides with the sun. Why don't we have a banquet here, and you and I will have a drink."

"How do you do this?"

Although Qin Shengyong was moved, he still declined.

However, he still couldn't resist Wang Ba's hospitality. He saw two masters of the three halls coming, and several great monks who had perfected the Nascent Soul to accompany them. After three or five cups of Immortal Drunkenness, even Qin Shengyong didn't realize how much he had. In his drunken state, he also started talking closely with Wang Yan and others.

Speaking of hot spots, Qin Shengyong felt that it was too late to meet him and couldn't help but hold Wang Ba's hand:

"I hate that I didn't meet my Taoist friend earlier. I am two or three hundred years older than my Taoist friend. If your Taoist friend doesn't give up, you and I might as well become sworn brothers..."

"This, this can't happen..."

Wang Ba's mouth was filled with the aroma of spiritual wine, and he was drunk and drowsy. He seemed to be overwhelmed by the alcohol. He waved his hands resolutely when he heard the words.

It looks a bit different from the past.

It's just that Qin Shengyong is also a great monk of Yuanying after all. Although he drank a lot of spiritual wine, his observation ability is still there, but he saw a trace of sadness on Wang Bao's drunken state. He frowned and said:

"Did you encounter something difficult, fellow Taoist? Why can't you enjoy yourself even though you're drinking?"

"No, it's okay..."

Wang Hao waved his hand.

The sadness on his face seemed to be getting deeper.

Qin Shengyong had a close friendship with him, so he was willing to give in when he saw the situation. However, as the head of the family, even if he was ordered to be in danger, he was still somewhat quick-witted. He changed his mind and pretended to be unhappy:

"I thought that Taoist friend and I were already close friends in the world, and we had no doubts about each other, but I didn't expect that Taoist friend would still be so secretive."

When Wang Ba heard this, he seemed to have sobered up a bit, and said with a wry smile:

"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood... To be honest with you, this is a private matter. My incarnation went to a treasured place in Beihai Continent to practice. As a result, I happened to meet the former monk of Xituo Continent and occupied this place."

"A monk from Xituozhou?"

Qin Shengyong suddenly sobered up a bit. Hearing this, his expression became slightly solemn and he said:

"After the heavenly change, I hardly heard any news about them. It turns out that they went to Beihai Continent. You should be careful with the incarnations of fellow Taoists."

When the sky changed, Ciwu, the god of Xituozhou, took the lead in mending the sky with his body, and there were many followers. All living beings in the Xiaocang world must remember this sentiment.

But compassion is compassion, and those sages and saints who patched up the sky are indeed worthy of admiration, but the surviving monks of Xituozhou may not all be kind people.

The two cannot be treated as equals.

Qin Shengyong has taken over the Qin family for more than a hundred years, so naturally he will not be so naive.

Wang Bao also nodded when he heard this:

"I have a way to deal with it..."

But when the conversation changed, another thing came up:

"I wonder where my ancestor, Deng Yuan Gong, went when the sky changed in the past?"

"grandfather?"

When Qin Shengyong heard this name, he couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know why Wang Yan mentioned him, but then he showed a look of nostalgia on his face, as if he was also longing for the glory of the Qin family when Qin Dengyuan was around.

He recalled in a deep voice:

"When the sky changed, my ancestor was covered with scars. He hurriedly returned and left me the family leader's seal and magic weapon. Then he mended the sky with great enthusiasm, and my father and several elders also left with him..."

Although the words are calm and concise, one can feel the generosity and tragedy in them.

He seemed to have suddenly returned to that day that he would never forget.

However, being favored by Qin Dengyuan and chosen as the head of the Qin family, Qin Shengyong's loss of composure only happened for a moment. He quickly regained his composure and said with some confusion:

"Why do fellow Taoists mention this?"

Wang Ba did not hide anything and said immediately:

"My incarnation learned from the mouths of these monks that our ancestor, Duke Yuan Dynasty, killed many of the world-eater clones that sneaked into the world during the heavenly change, thus saving me, Feng Linzhou, from a catastrophe. This move has also been missed by these monks.”

"Is this happening?"

Qin Shengyong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and then suddenly realized:

"No wonder the injury didn't look like it was caused by a monk. The situation was chaotic at the time and I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, it seems right."

At this time, he also reacted quickly:

"Since these monks remember the kindness of our ancestors, why don't I go there in person, maybe I can solve this matter for my fellow Taoists."

"This...that Beihai Continent is dangerous..."

Wang Hao looked hesitant.

Qin Shengyong said firmly:

"Fellow Taoist, remembering the friendship between our families, could it be that I, Mrs. Qin, am an ungrateful person?"

"Besides, you and I have a very close personal relationship. Not to mention the danger, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there too!"

Wang Hao couldn't help but look moved.

However, Qin Shengyong's momentum weakened immediately, and he added in a low voice with some embarrassment:

"Ahem, of course, if they don't admit it... the Qin family has been badly hurt, and they haven't recovered yet..."

Although he drank, he was not really drunk.

It's okay to show up, but if you really want to use the Qin family's wealth, that's absolutely not possible.

Wang Yan could see why Qin Dengyuan chose this grandson to be the head of the family. Among other things, he was able to bend and stretch, and he could also be humble and small. His talent may not be outstanding, but it is the most suitable for the current situation of the Qin family. .

He smiled and said:

"It's enough to have these words from fellow Taoist."

Isn’t that why you have been busy so much?

They were all great Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were all vigorous and resolute people. Soon, the banquet dispersed in a hurry.

The figures of the two people quickly disappeared.

…

"Tan Yue wants to enter the ice abyss?"

Hearing Taoist Bing's words, Youping held Bai Zi's fingers for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him with a look of shock on his face.

In front of the underground ice temple.

Taoist Bing, who was dressed in white robes, sat opposite the skinny Youping, each holding a black and white piece of money, playing chess and talking in a low voice.

"Exactly, I came to Beihai Continent here to take a step further. Master Youping can also tell that what I practice is the way of extreme cold and ice soul. I have practiced here in the past."

Taoist Bing looked calm and replied calmly.

"this……"

Youping couldn't help but look ashamed:

"It's not us who occupy this place... but the 'Venerable' is there, and Uncle Zhaojie is willing to protect the Venerable. If the donor wants to enter this place, the Venerable is elusive and may not care, but Uncle Zhaojie..."

He didn't say anything more, but the meaning was already very clear.

Bing Daoren's expression did not change, and he asked back:

"In this case, as long as Master Zhaojie nods, I can enter to practice?"

Youping hesitated, thinking of the fact that he was saved by the other party before, and the other party's identity as a Dajin monk, and finally nodded:

"The donor is really smart."

Bing Daoren's expression was still calm, just looking at Youping, and said sincerely:

"Then I still need to ask Master Youping to help me."

Youping had already guessed Bing Daoren's thoughts, and smiled:

"Don't say more, I will arrange it for you, but Uncle Zhaojie's personality... is a little stubborn, and he may not agree... It's your turn."

He pointed to the chessboard below.

The Ice Taoist looked at the situation on the chessboard below, but gently put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head slightly:

"No need, it's over."

You Ping was startled, and couldn't help but look down at the chessboard. He looked at it three times before he finally saw a clue.

He immediately showed a helpless look on his face, and also dropped the white piece in his hand, sighing repeatedly:

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Although your chess method has no rules and routines, it is directly aimed at the key points. It is already a move without a move. There is peace everywhere, and murderous intent everywhere. As soon as you think about it, the world will turn upside down. I am far inferior to you, far inferior to you!"

The Ice Taoist's face was calm.

His mind is pure and calm, almost ruthless, without any messy thoughts, so he can do what he wants without breaking the rules, and he can express himself freely without being bound. Even if he is not good at playing chess, You Ping is the same, so how can he be his opponent.

After sighing for a while, You Ping did not waste time and went to the vicinity of the Arctic Ice Abyss in person.

After Youping came back, he also brought some good news to Bing Daoren:

"Uncle Zhaojie took into consideration that you had saved us before, so he agreed to meet you. You can prepare yourself and I will take you there."

Bing Daoren was very straightforward:

"No need to prepare, let's go now."

Youping hesitated, and then reminded him indirectly:

"Uncle Zhaojie is a man of integrity and resoluteness, but he lacks patience. If he cannot be persuaded this time, I am afraid that in the future..."

Bing Daoren just said:

"Thank you for your advice, Master."

Seeing that Bing Daoren seemed to be full of confidence, Youping could only sigh helplessly:

"Well, please follow me."

After that, he took Bing Daoren away from the underground ice temple.

The underground ice temple was not far from the North Pole Ice Abyss, so it didn't take long for the two to arrive near the North Pole Ice Abyss.

But even though Youping was a Yuanying cultivator, the coldness in the North Pole Ice Abyss was not something he could bear, so he had to stop at a distance from the Ice Abyss.

He wanted to accompany the Taoist Ice Master for a while, but was stopped by the Taoist Ice Master, so he could only retreat further away.

In the Ice Abyss, as if sensing the arrival of the two, the figure of a shirtless monk slowly condensed in the air.

Seeing Youping forced to retreat, the shirtless old monk couldn't help but shake his head:

"The five aggregates are empty. You have practiced for so long, but you still can't understand this "color and emptiness", and you still have to suffer this ice disaster."

Even though Youping had used all his magic power to resist, his body was still white and shivering from the cold.

Hearing this, he couldn't even say a word, he could only put his hands together, and a trace of shame flashed across his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Taoist Ice Master raised his palm and retracted it, and the cold current around Youping immediately flowed into his body.

Youping immediately felt much better, and the frost on his body melted away.

However, the shirtless old monk could not help but frown and said:

"Even if you can help him for a while, you can't help him forever. This road is the road of self-realization, and no one can really help him."

The Bing Taoist's face was cold, and it did not change because the other party was in the state of transformation. He replied indifferently:

"Since there is no one to help, how can you say that you are a Taoist friend? Taoist friends are friends who are on the same path and make progress together. You help me a hand, and I help you go further, that's all."

Hearing this, the shirtless old monk paused slightly, frowned, but didn't say anything else.

And Youping, who had recovered, couldn't help but flash a touch of warmth in his eyes, and saluted to Bing Taoist with his hands together:

"Thank you for your help."

Bing Taoist just shook his head.

The shirtless old monk also looked at the Taoist Bing, looked at him carefully, and finally said:

"I heard from Youping that you want to enter the Ice Abyss to practice?"

The Taoist Bing nodded and said:

"That's right, please give your approval, Master Zhaojie."

The shirtless old monk Zhaojie looked slightly restrained when he heard this, and it was unclear what emotional changes he had. He just whispered:

"You saved Youping, karma, I should have given you my approval, but this is where the Venerable is. The Venerable saved all of us in the past... For your kindness in saving Youping, I am willing to reward you separately."

The Taoist Bing was unmoved and replied calmly:

"Master, you are wrong. I saved Master Youping out of my heart, and I was grateful to Master Ciwu and the great virtues of the predecessors in the past. How could I come here for the reward you said?"

"Besides, how can saving people be judged by the number of people?"

"I save one person, and I save ten people. One person is empty, and ten people are also empty. Since they are all empty, there is a difference in cultivation level between me and the Venerable, but what is the difference in our actions? Master uses this To distinguish between high and low, it can be seen that the way of 'color and emptiness' has not been clearly understood."

"this……"

Hearing Taoist Bing's words, Youping couldn't help but look anxious.

This Dajin monk is really hard to hear!

Although the theory is such a theory, it doesn’t sound right.

Seeing Master Zhaojie's face turn dark, he quickly trembled to smooth things over.

Part of it is that my body is too cold, and part of it is that my heart is too cold:

"Uncle Zhaojie, this Tan Yue didn't mean that..."

Unexpectedly, the shirtless old monk suddenly laughed:

"Okay! I didn't expect that Tan Yuefei, who is from Xituozhou, actually understands the true meaning of my ascetic."

Bing Taoist's face was expressionless:

"They are all martial arts books captured on the battlefield in the past. I read some randomly while practicing."

After hearing this, the shirtless old monk's face finally sank:

"You have angered the old monk so much, aren't you afraid that the old monk will take action?"

Taoist Bing was not afraid at all:

"If the master takes action and repays kindness with evil, it shows that karma is not true."

He is not stupid and dares to provoke the cultivator of the Transformation God for no reason.

In fact, his pure heart was like a mirror, reflecting all the emotional waves of the beings around him.

But the old monk Zhaojie's mood showed no murderous intention from the beginning to the end.

Even quite peaceful. It is obvious that Youhei does not really understand this senior.

Sure enough, in the face of Taoist Bing's words, the shirtless old monk Zhaojie's mood was still like an ancient well, without any disturbance.

He just said quietly:

"There is indeed no difference in saving people, but there is a difference in how many people are saved."

"There is no need to test Tan Yue anymore. If Tan Yue has no other reason, the old monk cannot let Tan Yue enter here and disturb the purity of the venerable person."

Taoist Bing was not surprised when he saw that the other party had revealed his thoughts. However, the other party's repeated mention of 'Venerable' made him a little curious:

"May I ask, Master, who is this 'venerable'?"

The old monk remained silent this time, with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. Apparently he didn’t want to answer this question. He just broke his rosary beads and said:

"If Tan Yue has nothing else to say, please come back."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to cooperate, Taoist Bing had no choice but to take out something from his sleeve.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a Zhuniao Token.

With the injection of mana, two figures appeared out of thin air in front of Taoist Bing almost at the same moment.

"Um?"

The shirtless old monk Zhaojie couldn't help but look at one of the visitors in surprise, then looked at Taoist Bing, and then suddenly realized:

"It's actually an incarnation!?"

One of the visitors, a young monk, saluted the old monk and Youping respectively and said with a smile:

"I, Wang Ba, of the Wanxiang Sect, have met these two masters."

A monk wearing a dragon robe next to him also quickly bowed:

"I am Qin Shengyong of the Qin family in the Jin Dynasty. I have met you two."

Zhaojie hadn't noticed Qin Shengyong at first, but when he heard Qin Shengyong's voice and saw the dragon robe Qin Shengyong was wearing, he was suddenly startled and turned his head to look at Qin Shengyong carefully.

Then he couldn't help but feel the breath of Qin Shengyong's body carefully.

His complexion finally changed slightly:

"You, you are..."

Qin Shengyong smiled calmly:

"The ancestor of the family, Ba Dengyuan, was a great practitioner in the late stage of becoming a god. He killed countless demons from outside the realm, and then repaired the sky and left."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and saluted respectfully to the sky. A scroll of Qin Dengyuan's portrait flew out from his storage artifact.

He is a tall and majestic man, half as tall as a man, with a full beard and wide eyes. Although it is a painting, it is extremely expressive.

Seeing this painting, Zhao Jie and You Ping were shocked and recognized it.

He quickly saluted Qin Dengyuan's portrait.

Half a day later.

Wang Ba and Qin Shengyong disappeared outside the ice abyss.

"You can go there, but remember, don't go deep into it and disturb the purity of the venerable one."

With Qin Shengyong's intervention and the group of Xituozhou monks indeed remembering Qin Dengyuan's kindness, there was room for accommodation.

Zhaojie only hesitated for a while and then agreed to Taoist Bing's request.

Naturally, the Ice Taoist would not waste such an opportunity, even if he fell into the Arctic Ice Abyss.

It's just that it's very different from the last time he was here. The pure ice aura is not full. It only becomes richer as you go deeper.

The Ice Taoist kept flying downwards, feeling the ice aura around him becoming more and more abundant, and he felt more and more comfortable.

The Taoist meaning contained in Yuanying also began to become active and gradually became more perfect...

The cultivation methods recorded in the "Bing Soul Shedding Divine Notes" had new feelings in his mind.

He couldn't help but recall some of the instructions given by his master's wife before, but now that he thought about it, it was a new and different kind of experience.

The joy of enlightenment and increasing progress filled his body and mind.

In this realization, he completely forgot about the passage of time, and he didn't know how long it had been before his body slowly sank downwards.

There was a cold current coming from below, and his descent was extremely slow.

On this very day.

He suddenly heard a loud scolding sound like thunder exploding in his ears:

"Don't come any closer to the place where the Venerable lives, Tan Yue!" (End of this chapter)
