Chapter 567 Immortal Faith
Golden and round.
Zhou Qing took out a golden elixir, which was extremely full and shiny.
"This golden elixir contains huge power. Is it feasible to combine it with this puppet and make it the energy source of the puppet?"
This is what Brother Shu dropped. The heretic golden elixir contains energy at the level of Yin Shen's true blood, and as long as the golden elixir itself is not damaged, the energy inside can be automatically restored after consumption.
Song Dongchen became interested, took the Heretic Golden Pill and examined it carefully, then turned to the True Blood Puppet, thought carefully for a while and then nodded.
"It's a very good treasure. It can indeed be refined into a puppet. Leave it to me."
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Song."
"It's a trivial matter. That’s all.”
Song Dongchen asked some more about Zhou Qing’s situation, and then reminded Zhou Qing.
"During the three days of your retreat, a message came from the Merit Hall that your True Transmission Peak has been built."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Yun Duo also told me about this. I will tell you later. Just go and take a look.”
Song Dongchen smiled and said, "If you don't mind, can I join in the fun?"
"Welcome to you."
Go back and take An Lang and Yun Duo with you, and the four of them fly directly to Kunlun Mountain. Luo Liuli was not involved in this matter.
Kunlun Mountain, with steaming clouds and rosy clouds, connects to the sky. A little bit of white cloud surrounds the edge of the mountain, covering the mountain and making it look like a peak in the sky.
West Lake, the water is rippling, the breeze is blowing, and there are ripples. The light blue lake surface has a touch of gold under the sun, which is very dreamy.
The Mountain Guarding Formation has always been maintained in the most basic operating state. In this state, it can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and continue to operate without additional energy supply.
But it is a divine formation after all, and this state is enough to resist many things.
Compared with Zhou Qing's last visit, Kunlun Mountain and West Lake have undergone some changes, with some added buildings, making them more harmonious and perfectly unified.
"Zhou Qing, is this where you will live from now on?"
Yun Duo exclaimed: "It's so big."
Zhou Qing smiled, "You can come here at any time. "
"Kunlun Mountain, this name is majestic and has endless meaning."
Song Dongchen nodded, "The sect attaches great importance to you, and this mountain has been given to you."
"I am also sincere and fearful, fearing that I will live up to the expectations of the sect."
"Just practice hard. Don't think too much about other things. Becoming a strong person is the sect's greatest expectation for you."
Song Dongchen looked at the shrouded Kunlun Mountains formation, smiled and said:
"Sure enough, the Mountain Guarding God Formation given by the sect is still the same, there is no change."
The Mountain Guarding God Formation received by each true disciple , in fact, they are all standard divine formations, there is no difference between them.
"I can help you improve the Mountain Guard Array and add some other functions."
Zhou Qing said hesitantly: "Isn't this a little too troublesome?"
Song Dongchen shook his head with a smile. , "It's not troublesome, it's just some small improvements. It doesn't take much time and doesn't require any materials. It just needs adjustments." Just add a few more formation patterns. "
"Don't be polite to me. You have many methods and you have the True Blood Puppet by your side. I have limited strength, so I can only do these things for you."< br>
“Uncle Song, if your strength is limited at this level, then I have no strength at all.”
Song Dongchen smiled and did not answer the question.
In fact, he is not weak. Lu Qingmo and Zhou Qing said that Song Dongchen has the cultivation of the three transformations of Yin Shen and has reached the stage of perfection.
Just because we are in the environment of Xuandu Temple, and with the comparison of Luo Liuli, it seems that the three transformations of Yin Shen are not enough.
The most important thing is that Song Dongchen is over a hundred years old.
With his talent at this age, he still hasn’t been promoted to Underworld in Xuandu Temple, which is really too slow.
However, Zhou Qing was thinking that he could lend the Dragon of Underworld to Song Dongchen later to see if it could help him.
The Dragon of Underworld can only assist in advancing to the Underworld Realm, but it cannot guarantee 100% success.
First of all, the monks themselves need to feel the opportunity for breakthrough and have the ability to impact that realm, and then the Dragon of Underworld can play the icing on the cake.
Zhou Qing doesn’t know the specific situation of Song Dongchen.
Ascending to Kunlun Mountain, Han Shanshan and other five Han family disciples were on the mountain.
The cultivation environment here is far from comparable to that of the 108 Inner and Outer Peaks or the Han family in Hanyuan County. The disciples of the Han family who have just arrived are full of energy and cherish the current environment very much.
I just don’t know how long this momentum can last.
Seeing the arrival of Zhou Qing and the others, Han Shanshan brought the disciples of the Han family over to say hello, and then she said:
"Senior Brother Zhou, the news you want to find out has come to fruition. ."
"Oh?" Zhou Qing became interested and asked:
"Where?"
At this time, Song Dongchen talked to Zhou Qing, and then went to various footholds of Kunlun Mountain alone to improve the formation. An Lang took Yunduo all over the mountains and fields to wander around.
The meaning of taboo is very obvious.
“We found out that there are four places where a large number of evil spirits are rampant.”
Han Shanshan said: “The first one is the Minggu Mountain, which contains a ghost realm with fierce ghosts and evil spirits. Countless.”
"Then there is Beihan County, where there are many battlefields left by humans and barbarians, and there are also a lot of evil spirits."
"The last two places are the Ten Thousand Souls Forest in Shuowang County and the Luoshen Swamp. , the evil spirits in these two places are not as strong as the previous two."
Zhou Qing asked: "Where did the Ten Thousand Souls Forest and the Luoshen Swamp come from?"
"The Luoshen Swamp is the soul. The place where the sect of the sect is located, This is an orthodoxy where masters from the Underworld are stationed within the Fangmen. At the outermost edge of the Luoshen Swamp, the Soul Gate is open to the outside world and exploration is not prohibited."
"The Ten Thousand Souls Forest is a remnant of a great war in a long time ago. A lot of people were killed and injured there, causing fierce ghosts to rage in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls. The strongest ones were ghosts and gods in the Yin Shen Realm. However, it was also a training ground for many practitioners, and many people went there."
< br>
For many practitioners, there is no future if they work behind closed doors. Only by traveling and experiencing various trials can they go further and even break through the limits.
The Minggu Sacred Mountain is a good place, but it is too dangerous and cannot be set foot in by lowly practitioners.
In this way, areas like Ten Thousand Souls Forest, where the strongest ghosts and gods are only in the Yin Shen realm, will have a place to use, and it is a better choice.
Xuan Duguan, the overlord of Hanzhou, will not directly pacify a place like this, but will lay out some safety measures to prevent the evil spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Forest from rushing out in large numbers to hurt people.
Then ignore it and let it exist.
Not to mention others, the disciples of Xuandu Temple also need to go to these places.
Zhou Qing pondered, four places... Luoshen Swamp and Beihan County were eliminated first.
The former is occupied by a powerful sect. Even if you can enter the periphery, you probably won't be able to find any powerful evil spirits.
There is no other reason for the latter. The road is too far, and it is the direct junction between humans and barbarians.
The Minggu Mountain is a bit dangerous, so Zhou Qing quickly decided where to collect hundreds of evil ghosts.
Went to Ten Thousand Souls Forest.
Han Ju handed Zhou Qing a bag at this time and said:
“Brother Zhou, while inquiring about this news, we also made some other gains and caught eleven evil animals. The ghosts are not very strong, and the highest ones are only about the same as those of Riyou monks."
"Senior Brother Zhou, don't worry, these are all evildoers."
Zhou Qing took it. Bag, I was stunned for a moment.
He just wanted a few people from the Han family to collect information, but he didn't expect that they would just capture eleven evil ghosts and come back.
The subjective initiative is quite strong.
“Very good.”
Zhou Qing nodded and did not ask where they found the ghost.
After thinking about it, Zhou Qing took out a few jade bottles and handed them to Han Shanshan.
"There are several pills here to assist cultivation, they are... You have also worked hard these days."
Among the five members of the Han family, Han Shanshan is a Japanese traveler, and the third brother Han Shu is a newbie. In the bone refining realm, the fourth brother Han Gu was in the viscera realm, and the other two young men were both in the muscle and vein realm.
There are many elixirs for this kind of cultivation in Zhou Qing, and they have no effect on him. If they are left here, they will just gather dust.
A few people worked very hard and brought him eleven evil ghosts. It was appropriate to give them some benefits.
Since you have taken refuge in him, you are considered one of your own.
Zhou Qing has never been a stingy person when it comes to his own people.
After carefully understanding the situation of Ten Thousand Souls Forest with Han Shanshan, Zhou Qing asked them to go about their business while he went to look for Song Dongchen.
Han Shanshan distributed the elixirs according to their respective cultivation levels, and then heard Han Ya exclaim:
"This elixir is so pure, it is better than the elixirs distributed by the family before. A lot. "
As soon as these words came out, the other four people also looked at the pills in the bottle and were very surprised when they discovered this.
The medicinal power of these elixirs is so pure that they are almost... without impurities.
In fact, these pills do not have any impurities, but Han Shanshan and the others have not come into contact with pills of this quality before, so they are not sure.
The purity of the same elixir also means that they have different values. The elixir without impurities is the most precious. Han Fu said with emotion: "Senior Brother Zhou is so generous."
"Taking such elixirs to practice will have almost no impact on the future and has many benefits."
Han Shu warned: "You have also seen that Senior Brother Zhou is very good to me, and we must do things for Senior Brother Zhou in the future."
"Who dares to do something detrimental to Kunlun Mountain, the entire Han family There is no room for him."
Zhou Qing did not know that the pill he gave out casually shocked the five members of the Han family.
From the beginning of his cultivation, the pills he took were dropped by Brother Shu. He never used the impure pills made by the alchemists of this world, so as not to affect the future.
This kind of elixir is just commonplace for him, it is a daily necessities.
After finding Song Dongchen, Zhou Qing watched him make various improvements to the Mountain Protector Formation. Sometimes Song Dongchen would also tell Zhou Qing some knowledge about the formation, so that he could understand why he had to change the formation pattern in this way and what its purpose was.
Luo Liuli cultivates elixirs, and although Song Dongchen dabbles in many miscellaneous subjects, what he is most proficient in is formations.
Because when exploring various ruins and monuments, formations play the greatest role and are what he needs most.
Even the way of formation is also the way of heaven and earth, all-encompassing, and in the early and mid-term, it is far more advanced than the way of alchemy.
Formation, this is the most direct explanation of all things in the world.
After completing the modifications to the Mountain Protector Formation, Song Dongchen asked Zhou Qing to try it out. As expected, the power was a bit greater and the changes were significant.
Zhou Qing nodded happily, "The formation is indeed the law of heaven and earth. It is indeed magical and mysterious, and contains the principles of heaven and earth."
Song Dongchen smiled and said:
"The more you delve into the formation, the more you feel its charm and understand the laws and principles of heaven and earth. That feeling is intoxicating."
But when he finished speaking, Song Dongchen's smile stopped. , became serious.
"Since you are not practicing other cultivation techniques or miscellaneous studies now, don't be addicted to these things in the future before your cultivation is complete."
"Concentrating on improving your cultivation is the right way, and the realm of cultivation is everything. Fundamentally, any other skills are only auxiliary and secondary, and must not be reversed."
"I am the most distinctive. For example, many skills and miscellaneous tasks took away too much of my energy, and even more time was spent on cultivation, so that I could not advance to the underworld for a long time."
Song Dongchen smiled bitterly: " I don’t know if I will have the chance to enter the underworld realm in this life. I really feel ashamed of my master’s cultivation.”
Song Dongchen’s situation is different from Luo Liuli’s.
Although Luo Liuli was extremely addicted to alchemy, she still valued cultivation, and even if her energy and time were equally divided between alchemy and cultivation, that would be enough.
But Song Dongchen covers too many and complex fields, such as formations, puppets, restrictions, weapon refining, Feng Shui topography, celestial derivation, ancient secret texts, etc.
He has to learn so many things, his energy is scattered, and he is destined to have insufficient time.
Otherwise with his talent, if he had not been in danger, he would have been promoted to the Underworld Realm long ago.
Master Shuiyue Peak has always been annoyed by this, so he has never accepted him as an official disciple.
Zhou Qing thought for a while and asked:
"Does Uncle Song regret his previous choice?"
Song Dongchen was startled, then shook his head with a smile, his eyes full of energy.
“I don’t regret it, because I am really interested in those things. If I could do it again, I would spend more time on practice, but I would never give up on other things.”
This is a choice that seems unwise to others, but people are like this, and there will always be some persistence in their hearts that cannot give up.
Just like someone giving up their life in order to make a sword, this is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
"Zhou Qing, every practitioner should have a goal that he can strive for his whole life without wavering or regretting. No matter what happens, he must continue towards that goal. ."
Song Dongchen looked at the sky in the distance, and the wind blew, making his voice a little ethereal.
“In the process of chasing that goal, you are bound to lose a lot of things, and there will be people who don’t understand you.”
“But it doesn’t matter, that process is when you get to know yourself , and then the process of transcending yourself is the way to achieve enlightenment.”
"Even if that goal may be wrong, for you, it is the right path."
To a certain extent, this is Tao Xin.
Even if you are wrong, you must persist in what is right, and you must keep going. Such an unreasonable and incomprehensible mentality and behavior is a manifestation of a firm Taoist heart.
In the process of practicing Taoism, many times you can walk on the wrong path, which is okay, but you must never admit that you are wrong.
After listening to Song Dongchen’s words, Zhou Qing asked himself in his heart, what does he want?
Without any hesitation or entanglement, Zhou Qing got the answer easily.
What he is doing now is what he wants.
Practice to become stronger, break through and sublime, here in Zhou Qing is the same pursuit as Song Dongchen's miscellaneous studies, and cannot be given up.
In his previous life, he was just a mortal, but in this life, he is deeply obsessed with the feeling of spiritual practice.
This feeling of mastering power, advancing life, and extending life is irresistible.
In the land of Zhou Qing's previous life, stories about becoming an immortal and attaining immortality were popularized in almost everyone's heart.
Rooted deep in the soul and passed down in the blood, thousands of years of history cannot erase the desire and pursuit of immortality and immortality among the people on that land.
Now that he really has this opportunity, Zhou Qing will not give up. He must go to the highest point and take a look at the scenery there.
Even if this is a thorny road, a lightless road with no end in sight.
“Huh…”
Zhou Qing breathed out lightly, as if he had vomited away all the confusion in his heart. His mind was clearer than ever, and his spirit was unprecedentedly high.
“I understand.”
He said, Song Dongchen smiled and said nothing more.
An Lang and Yun Duo came over not long after. The two women seemed very excited and very satisfied with the environment here, and they expressed all kinds of praises.
“Zhou Qing, this is great!”
"Yes, yes." An Lang also agreed:
"It's just that there are not many people around, and it is relatively deserted."
"Kunlun Mountain has just come into my hands. When I manage it carefully later, it will naturally It will become lively."
Zhou Qing said: "But I can add some excitement to Kunlun Mountain now."
He took out the black and white chicken and Fugui and put them on the ground.
"Cackle!"
The black and white chicken crowed loudly as soon as it came out, while Fugui slowly turned on the ground.
An Lang asked in surprise: "What are these?"
"Two spiritual beasts. The eggs laid by this black and white chicken can assist in cultivation and are very useful. As for turtles, they can be regarded as They are the mascots of our Kunlun Mountains.”
An Lang and Yunduo surrounded the chicken and turtle with great interest, grabbing them and studying them. The sound of Kunlun Mountain’s chickens kept crowing for a while. .
"Stop tossing it." Zhou Qing said to An Lang:
"If you keep tossing it like this, don't eat the eggs laid by Brother Chicken."
"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it." Eat, what's so rare about eggs? I'm a ghost."
Zhou Qing was helpless, An Lang was really a little black guy.
“The construction of Kunlun Mountain is completed, and no outsiders will come in from now on. I just happen to still have some things here.”
Zhou Qing told An Lang, "If I practice in seclusion or go out later, you have to help me take care of these things."
"What are they?"
"Some flowers "Crap."
Zhou Qing took out the divine blood tree and soul tree from the treasure chest, as well as the spiritual plants and soul plants that fell this month and needed to be planted.
Withered root, Tianxin clover, morning tree...
They found suitable places and planted them. In the process, Zhou Qing was also explaining the use of these things to An Lang and the others.
“It’s amazing.”
“It’s amazing.”
“There is such a treasure?”
An Lang and Yun Duo praised repeatedly , I just felt it was eye-opening.
Song Dongchen was confused and shocked.
The two women either had little knowledge or didn't care, but he was well-informed and knew clearly how useful the things Zhou Qing brought out were.
Any one of these things, taken outside, is enough to serve as the fundamental foundation of a small or medium-sized force.
But now there are piles of them in the hands of a practitioner of the Holy Manifestation and Bone Refining Realm?
Why does this seem a little unreal...
