Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 288 Hair knot and longevity

  In the Nine Palaces, Li Qing holds the Moon Heart Compass, thinking about the reincarnations of Xun Mingwei, Baili Flying Eagle, and Ling Jiao.

  The moon heart compass can make a judgment based on people's thoughts, and can often guide people to find the right direction. This treasure is very suitable for finding the reincarnation of the dead.

  The seventh generation cultivated to the late Yuanying period, and Li Qing's real age was almost two thousand years old.

  After so many years, those old friends who seem to be in the age of weak spirits, if they don't have the fate, either the true spirit will disappear, or they will spend more than ten lives.

  Even if one obtains the predestined relationship in a certain life and does a casual practice, at most one can become a foundation-building monk.

  Before the reincarnation of the three of them, Li Qing remembered that Lenggong Weiyang once had a sister, and with a thought, he set up the moon-heart compass, but the compass pointer did not turn, which meant that the true spirit was completely annihilated.

   "Ling Jiao..."

  Li Qing had a thought, and Ling Jiao's former face appeared in his thoughts, looking for her reincarnation, the needle of the Xingyue compass turned slightly, and turned to the northwest of the Nine Palaces.

   Jiuyuzhou, southeast region, a secluded mountain, there is a small village.

   There is a group of simple ordinary people living here, numbering in the hundreds. All of them come from the same family, surnamed Ling.

  The Ling family has a long history and has a special genealogy, which can be traced back to two thousand years ago.

  Outsiders do not know that although Lingjia Village looks like a mortal village on the outside, there is an inheritance of immortality in it. The current patriarch is a cultivator of immortality, and she is also a female patriarch.

  This area belongs to the ordinary wilderness, sparsely populated, there are few immortal inheritances, and the casual cultivators who occasionally wander are mostly below the third level of Qi Refining. Anyone with a higher level of cultivation will find another place to cultivate immortals.

However, Patriarch Ling's cultivation is quite good, and he has cultivated to the ninth level of qi refining. With this level of cultivation, he should have gone out to seek opportunities to build a foundation, but patriarch Lin has been staying in the village and restraining his clansmen. identity.

  The disturbances from the outside world and the great battle between the mysterious and demons did not affect this ordinary small village.

  Under a low house in the village, sat two young men from the Ling clan, one Ling Fan and one Ling Lu.

The two were roasting goat meat and eating leisurely. Ling Fan recalled his experience a few days ago and sighed softly: "Brother Lu, I have the heart to seek immortality and Taoism. , and finally strayed into the maze set up by the patriarch outside."

   "The patriarch found out later and charged me not to leave the inner village for three years."

  Ling Lu said indifferently: "When the patriarch was selected to protect the law in the clan, he hadn't tested it earlier. You and I have no spiritual roots. What kind of immortality are you looking for?"

   "But I accidentally heard the outside world, there are false spiritual roots, which can allow people without spiritual roots to step into the immortal way." Ling Fan's eyes flashed a gleam.

"What kind of fake spiritual root is just a false talk, don't think so again." Ling Lu said seriously, "The clan rules are clearly written, and clan members are not allowed to leave the village without authorization. If you commit the crime again, you will be severely punished by the clan leader." Punishment, I'm afraid it's a matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, and there will be nowhere to go."

  Ling Fan didn't care and said: "It's strange if you say it. With the patriarch's ability, he should be the first person in this area of ​​Liuchong Mountain. Why does the Ling family village not come out, and the family has no external enemies."

   "I know a thing or two about this." Ling Lu smiled, and asked again: "Do you know the origin of Lingjia Village?"

   "I don't know." Ling Fan shook his head.

  Ling Lu explained: "Actually, our Ling family is not from Liuchongshan. We come from a very remote place. I don't know what to call that place. It seems that there is a country called Dagan."

   "Two thousand years ago, the family was just an ordinary family, and accidentally gave birth to a girl with a talent for spiritual roots. This girl grew up to eighteen years old, and accidentally got the inheritance of immortality, so she changed her name to Ling Jiao."

"Ling Jiao is also the direct ancestor of our Lingjia Village. Lingjiao's ancestor felt that the world was turbulent, and wanted to find a safe place to build a family and live in seclusion. He wandered all the way and passed down three generations. After four or five hundred years, the Ling family finally settled here. Heavy mountains, and isolated from the world."

   "To commemorate Ling Jiao's ancestor, all the patriarchs of my Ling family were named Ling Jiao and lived in seclusion."

  That was the case...but Ling Fan was still puzzled, "What's the point of this?"

  Ling Lu hesitated, but he didn't know what happened next.

   At this time, an old woman with wrinkles walked quietly past where the two of them couldn't notice.

  If Ling Fan and Ling Lu saw the old woman, they would respectfully say: "Patriarch."

  The old woman returned to the patriarch's inner house and shook her head lightly. She heard everything Ling Fan said.

  Ling's family stays in the small village, but it's not as simple as commemorating the ancestors.

  This is related to the inheritance that the ancestors got two thousand years ago.

There is a saying in that inheritance: "Those who get my successor will be my reincarnated body. Don't ask for a fairy fate. You just need to take your family to hide from the world and live in seclusion, and secretly practice the lotus washing scriptures. When the time is right, there will be a supreme immortal master to take you in." As an apprentice, you can embark on the real immortal path."

  Inheritance also comes with a theory of the reincarnation of the true spirit. The theory of reincarnation was found from an ancient tomb by the inheritor in his later years.

  The old woman has practiced until now, and she has already understood the reincarnation. The previous generation of patriarchs was actually her previous life.

Qi-refining cultivator true spirit, muddleheaded, without clear consciousness, in order to ensure normal reincarnation, before the deadline comes, she will choose a pregnant woman, take a closed place, and when she gives birth, she will end her short lifespan and complete her life. reincarnate.

  Afterwards, there will be a patriarchal guardian to protect the reincarnation from growing up.

  Perhaps God favored her, every time the old woman was reincarnated, she would awaken her spiritual root, which was not bad.

   "Is it really possible for the Supreme Immortal Master to accept me as an apprentice?" The old woman was a little confused.

   While the old woman was in a daze, a mana in the room condensed and turned into Li Qing's appearance.

  The difference in realm was too great, and the old woman couldn't detect Li Qing's existence.

   "It's a pity that Ling Jiao is too old in this reincarnation, and there is no hope of seeking the Tao. Let's save her and enter the fairy gate in the next life." Li Qing thought.

  Borrowed a compass to find Lingjia Village. Li Qing already knew the history of Lingjia Village.

In her later years, Ling Jiao accidentally learned the secret of the reincarnation of the true spirit, and she has been planning in the future. She left some behind-the-scenes, and directly reincarnated in a local village after her death, and let the reincarnated adult successfully obtain the inheritance left by her, step by step. Enter immortality.

  Perhaps she had her own obsession after death, Ling Jiao didn't believe that she could walk through the immortal way by herself, so she ventured into it rashly, fearing that her true spirit would disappear, so she had been waiting for Li Qing to lead her into the immortal way.

  The reincarnations of the past dynasties have different personalities, but they have not violated Ling Jiao's original message of inheritance.

   "Ling Jiao lost her life to farm and entered the fairyland. She completely lost hope in her pursuit of immortality. Later, she pinned her hopes on me. Unexpectedly, her subsequent reincarnations would follow this wish. She is really lucky."

  The times change from weak spirits to flourishing spirits, and there are a lot of massacres. I don’t know how many monks, and the true spirits are wiped out in the process.

  Ling Jiao is reincarnated, with spiritual roots from generation to generation, so she can rely on herself to enter the immortal way. If she enters into the dispute of seeking immortality, her true spirit will end up in the end, and I'm afraid it will not be good.

  Those who can be reincarnated multiple times are either high-level monks or ordinary mortals. The monks who are not at the same level are most likely to be killed by others.

  Li Qing's thoughts moved again, calling for the true spirit of Baili Flying Eagle in his heart.

  The pointer of the moon-centered compass rotates, and the hundred-mile flying eagle is still in reincarnation.

  …

  Guided by the moon-centered compass, Li Qing flew for five days and came to an ordinary country called Tanzhao in the Northwest Territory.

  Baili Feiying and Ling Jiao were born in the central region, but fortunately their reincarnations did not stay in the central region to develop, otherwise the Netherworld sect invaded, and it would not be easy to reincarnate from generation to generation.

  After spending half a month in the country of Tanzhao, guided by the compass, Li Qing finally came to a village.

  This village is different from the village where Ling Jiao was reincarnated. This village stands on the side of the post road, and the merchants come and go constantly, and the village is quite prosperous.

  Twenty miles away, there is a city.

  Li Qing entered the village in disguise, and then he heard the sound of **** crowing and dogs barking. Dozens of dirty children were playing and playing there, and he stood by and watched.

   There are two boys, one fat and one thin, wrestling in the sewage.

  The fat baby is tall and strong, and looks powerful, only the thin baby fell over his shoulders, and threw the fat baby into the sewage, applauding in surprise.

   "Slender boy, beat the fat boy well." The kid next to him laughed and laughed.

The fat boy didn't win the fight, lost face, couldn't get angry, turned over, and said: "Slim baby, what's the use of great light power? A few days ago, Master Du from Laiyang City came to the village to choose a martial arts apprentice, and he has already taken a fancy to me." .”

   "Master Du has connections with the nearby Flying Sword Sect. Immortal masters regularly come to Master Du's martial arts hall to test their disciples. Once I am selected in the future, I will become an immortal master."

A child who has a good relationship with the fat baby also smiled at the right time: "I heard that when Master Du came to the village, he immediately fell in love with the thin baby. It's just that the thin baby is so young that he likes to peek at widows taking a bath at night." When Master Du saw this, he said that his conduct was poor, so he refused to accept him."

   "Hahaha." The children laughed together.

  Xian Wa'er's face remained unchanged, and she explained loudly: "I didn't watch the widow take a bath, I went there blindfolded, and I just wanted to hear what the widows had to say."

"Furthermore, what Master Du, I don't like it. When I was born, a fortune teller passed by and said that when I was born, I was born with aura so high that I was a person with a celestial destiny. If I can worship directly under the immortal door, I don't need to cultivate anything. Martial arts."

   "Oh." At this moment, a girl who was lying on the tree to watch the fun slipped on her foot and fell straight from the tree, about to fall into the sewage.

  When the baby girl fell, a cloud of mist lifted her up, so that her whole body was flat on the water surface, but she was not contaminated with any sewage.

   "Immortal method!" The fat baby was stunned and said in surprise.

  The children hurriedly looked around, and found that apart from them, there was only Li Qing, a stranger here.

  After the girl took advantage of the clouds to stand up, she faltered and shouted at Li Qing: "Immortal...thank you, Immortal."

  Li Qing smiled lightly and walked away.

   "Fairy, wait!"

   "Elder Immortal, please accept me as an apprentice."

   "Master Immortal..."

  At this moment, all the children jumped up excitedly and chased after Li Qing.

  In this day and age, even in mortal countries, as long as it is not too closed, everyone basically knows about immortality, and mortals especially admire immortality.

  Li Qing walked slowly all the way without turning his head. The child behind him was chasing him, but he couldn't catch up.

   In the blink of an eye, he walked three miles away, only Fat Waer and Slender Waer were chasing after him, shouting, "Don't leave, the elder, take me as a disciple."

  After ten miles, only the thin boy was chasing after him panting.

  Li Qing stopped.

   "Immortal Elder." After catching up with Li Qing, Slender Wa'er immediately knelt down and said, "I beg Immortal Elder to accept me as a disciple."

   "What's your name?" Li Qing said casually.

   "Gu Feiying." Slim Wa'er immediately returned.

  Gu Feiying... Li Qing closed his eyes and thought.

  After being silent for a while, seeing that Li Qing didn't speak, Slim Wa'er was a little uneasy, and tried: "Immortal Elder?"

  Suddenly, Li Qing opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and patted the thin baby's head.

  Seeing this, Gu Feiying was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"

   "You're smart, kid," Li Qing chuckled, "It's just... I didn't say I'd take you as an apprentice."

  After Gu Feiying finished kowtowing, he held on to his disciple and said: "The immortal caresses my top, and my hair will be tied to receive longevity."
