Chapter 281 Visit and contact
The southeast of Qingyun Realm is full of mountains and hills. The highest mountain in Qingyun Realm, Qingtian Peak, is the residence of Yuxuan Palace.
Qingtian Peak is more than 27,540 feet high. The entire mountain peak looks like a sharp sword soaring into the sky. The top of the peak is covered with snow all year round and is extremely cold.
For the vast majority of Qi practitioners, the gate of the Dongfu Mountain is basically located at a high place, and the same goes for Yuxuan Palace, which is located at the top of the mountain. This place is closest to the sun and moon, and has many benefits for practice.
Although compared to the span of the universe, the difference between the various heights of the peaks is negligible, but the essence of the sun and moon at high places has not been contaminated by turbidity, and will ultimately be purer.
When Chu Zheng arrived here, it was noon, the sun was high, and the entire Qingtian Peak was dyed with a faint layer of light, exuding a refreshing and refreshing atmosphere.
Surrounded by spiritual springs between the mountains, there is a spiritual mist condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, creating a scene like a holy land of immortals.
Chu Zheng took a casual glance and saw many rare birds and auspicious animals among the ancient forests on the mountain peaks. He must have been attracted by the aura of the Qi Refiner.
Not to mention the auspicious beasts in the forest, even Chu Zheng himself felt that his mind was much clearer, he temporarily forgot his worries, and felt relaxed and happy for a while.
After looking at it for a while, Chu Zheng did not climb directly to the top of the mountain. Instead, he landed at the foot of the mountain and climbed slowly towards the top of the mountain.
Always show some etiquette when visiting someone unexpectedly.
Chu Zheng was not in a hurry and climbed the mountain slowly. When he was near the top of the mountain, fine snow fell from the sky.
We walked against the wind and snow all the way to the top of the mountain. In front of Chu Zheng, there were more than ten green brick and tile houses without any pavilions and palaces. The tiles were covered with ice and snow, shrouded in a layer of frost.
There is no trace of any magic circle around. Everything is the original appearance of heaven and earth, simple and pure.
In fact, most Qi practitioners live in poverty. Since they don’t have many disciples, they rarely spend extra time to collect and reserve cultivation resources except for their own cultivation expenses. Under normal circumstances, , the essence of the sun and moon is enough for practice.
Although the cultivation level will not grow very fast in this way, the growth of calamity energy will not be exaggerated and will be easier to deal with.
The reason why Chu Zheng’s calamity has always been difficult to deal with is because his cultivation has improved too quickly. In twenty years, he has walked a path that others can walk in hundreds or even thousands of years. How can everything be smooth sailing and everything go smoothly?
His eyes swept across the green brick and tiled house, Chu Zheng bowed his hands and spoke slowly:
"Qi Refiner Chu Zheng, I am here to pay a visit to all of you, and I hope you will not hesitate to meet me."< br>
Zhi——
There was movement from the tile-roofed house in the middle. The slightly ancient wooden door slowly opened and a middle-aged Taoist walked out.
Around forty years old, he is wearing a green-grey Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun, a square face, and a vertical mark between his eyebrows, which looks like the eye of the sky. He is wearing a pair of thick-soled black cloth shoes.
[Kang Yuanshan (seventh level): Hedao realm Qi practitioner, Taoist name Xu Jingzi, minor in alchemy and talismans, has experienced seventy-four calamities, and there was one calamity not long ago, and the Qi and blood were not there. Recover, injured, repairable (0/3). 】
Kang Yuanshan is not the strongest person in Yuxuan Palace. There is an immortal hidden here, and Chu Zheng can sense it.
However, based on Chu Zheng's current cultivation level, he is not qualified to have such a person go out to greet him in person.
Except for Kuang Yuanshan, there was no movement from the rest of the blue brick buildings, and there was a dead silence.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, Yuxuan Palace does not welcome the arrival of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng was not surprised by this. Most Qi practitioners did not like trouble unless necessary.
Kang Yuanshan came forward probably because he had just experienced the calamity and would not cause more trouble because of the calamity.
Kang Yuanshan looked at Chu Zheng, his eyes were as calm as water, and after returning the salute with his fists, he got straight to the point:
"Fellow Taoist, you're polite. Why are you here today?"
"I'm bothering you so much, but I'd like to ask Haihan."
Chu Zheng didn't mean to beat around the bush and said bluntly:
"Chu was born in an unorthodox Taoist sect, and he did not have a famous teacher to guide him. He occasionally found fragments of writings from his predecessors, and he has been struggling until now. He has many doubts and would like to ask fellow Taoists for advice."
Before coming to Yuxuan Palace, he had already sealed off his Immortal Dao magic power, suppressed his energy, and only showed his cultivation in the early stage of the Return to Void Realm, in order to make these Qi Refiners less repulsive.
"The visitor is a guest. Fellow Taoist, come in and talk."
Kang Yuanshan didn't say much and raised his hand to signal.
Chu Zheng thanked him and followed Kuang Yuanshan into the tile-roofed house.
The room was as warm as spring and not very spacious. It was several feet long and horizontal, separated by several small rooms. The air was filled with a medicinal fragrance, mixed with the energy of various elixirs.
The wooden door inside was not closed tightly, revealing a corner of the alchemy furnace, with a spiritual fire burning under the furnace.
Kuang Yuanshan is refining an elixir. Judging from the permeating fragrance of the medicine, it should be a healing elixir that nourishes the body and strengthens the body.
“I’m disturbing my fellow Taoist.” Chu Zheng complained.
Kang Yuanshan didn't care, and waved his hand: "It's not a disturbance, there are not many people coming on weekdays, so fellow Taoist friends can come here, and the poor Taoist can also kill some time."
The words have not yet been spoken. After landing, he led Chu Zheng into the side room. Judging from the layout, it should be a tea room.
A black and white crane is curled up on the ground, sleeping with its eyes closed.
Kuang Yuanshan stepped forward and opened the window. The wind and snow brought a breeze into the room. Then he turned around to make tea, then turned around and kicked the crane awake:
"Go and pick one or two Lingyuan treasure leaves. Come, I want to entertain guests."
The crane stood up unsteadily, fluttered its wings and flew out of the window. After a while, it turned back, holding a few green branches and leaves in its mouth.
Kang Yuanshan took over the branches and leaves, picked off the green leaves, and put them into the boiling tea. After a while, he poured two cups of spiritual tea and said casually:
"This tea needs to be picked fresh. The taste is the best, please wait for a long time.”
After saying this, he pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Chu Zheng, and the hot mist turned into clouds.
Chu Zheng took it and took a sip. The tea passed down his throat. He did not feel the abundant spiritual energy, but his mind relaxed involuntarily and felt much relieved.
For a moment, Chu Zheng’s eyes shone slightly, and he couldn’t help but praise:
“Good tea.”
After a while of greetings, Chu Zheng immediately began to ask Kuang Yuanshan some questions about News from the Alchemist. For example, the most critical calamity for the Qi Refiner.
Kang Yuanshan did not hide anything, but started directly from the situation in Yuxuan Palace.
The tribulations of the Qi Refiners entering the world will have many impacts, which can easily harm their masters. Many Qi Refiners in Yuxuan Palace will not choose to endure tribulations in their homeland, but will use various methods to travel to other places. Big world.
Although this method is troublesome, the risk is relatively small. If you are not careful, you will die outside the world due to calamity, and the impact on the old friends of the master will be minimal.
This is also a last resort, because the influence of disaster is too complex and changeable, and it is easy to get out of control.
Apart from Nie Longhu, Kuang Yuanshan was the first Qi practitioner that Chu Zheng came into contact with. After some contact, it was not much different from what he imagined.
During the conversation, Kuang Yuanshan never took the initiative to inquire about his information. Most Qi practitioners who can cultivate to this level have very little curiosity, not because they don’t want to know, but simply because they don’t want to cause trouble.
Strong curiosity means that it is easy to cause trouble. For a Qi practitioner, this means that it is easy to suffer unexpected disasters.
Not to mention being curious about Chu Zheng’s secrets, they actually didn’t welcome Chu Zheng’s sudden visit today.
The reason why Kuang Yuanshan was asked to come forward to receive him was probably because he didn’t want people to hold grudges and create grudges for no reason due to some etiquette reasons.
After Chu Zheng heard Kuang Yuanshan talk about some experiences about calamity, he couldn't help but wonder: "Have fellow Taoists ever used the method of incarnation to calamity?"
"Incarnate calamity?"
Kuang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Only those above the Golden Immortal can achieve that kind of magic. It is not easy to enter the gate of that kind of person, even if you can get it." Teaching the Dharma is also difficult and difficult.”
Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn’t help but be surprised. He had never thought that the Dharma of Incarnation and Tribulation would have such a high threshold, and it could only be done by members of the Jinxian Sect. have to.
When he had previous contact with Nie Longhu, Nie Longhu had not mentioned this matter to him.
Gathering back his thoughts, Chu Zheng probed: "Have you ever heard of Beiling Golden Immortal, fellow Taoist?"
"Of course, that is one of the most powerful men in the Taiqing Hunyuan Daojun's sect, the Taiqing Nine Sons" Among them, he ranks sixth and lives in Taiqingtian all year round. Even if he is from the main line of my Yuxuan Palace, it is rare to see him. "
When it comes to Beiling Golden Immortal, Kuang Yuanshan also has it in his eyes. A little envious, Dao Lord is already the pinnacle of the entire Tao sect, full of calculations, but the three of them are truly mythical beings whose reputation will be passed down through the ages, second only to Dao Ancestor.
If you can become a disciple of such a person, even if you fail in the calamity and die, the Golden Immortal will still have the means to recall the remaining soul, so that you can still have the opportunity to start over.
Chu Zheng suppressed the surprise in his heart. The status of Beiling Jinxian and Taiqing Hunyuan Daojun was somewhat beyond his expectation. They were almost the top of the top of the world. Nie Long The background of the tiger is quite excellent.
Fortunately, I didn't have direct contact with him, otherwise I'm afraid it's hard to tell what the situation is now.
Chu Zheng suddenly remembered a person who he could not see any trace of. After a slight hesitation, he still asked:
"Fellow Daoist Kuang, how much do you know about Daozu?"
Kang Yuanshan poured a cup of tea and slowly shook his head:
"Taoist friend is joking. How dare I mention the word "understanding" to Taoist ancestors like me, who is a humble Taoist? It’s just a legend about Taozu.”
When he mentioned Daozu, his eyes lit up involuntarily for a moment.
How terrifying it is to monopolize 25% of the destiny. In today's universe, the two paths of immortality and martial arts only occupy 20% of the destiny. One person alone dominates one. At this level, its specific How strong it is is impossible to fathom.
More importantly, Daozu is a Qi Refiner, which represents the pinnacle of what a Qi Refiner can achieve. How can he not be envied by others.
"I know very little about the legend of Daozu, and I hope my Taoist friends will tell you." Chu Zheng's eyes brightened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
He has heard the word Dao Zu countless times. It seems that no matter where he is, there are people who know Dao Zu and know the weight of these two words. No one dares to despise it.
"What I know are some fragments of words passed down from that time."
Kang Yuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be lost in memories, and murmured:
"The Taoist ancestors were from the ancient times. Characters, the universe at that time was in chaos, and there was a Taoist struggle. Many Taoists were fighting for destiny, and they were beaten to death, and countless people were exterminated. "
"At that time. The most powerful ones are also the Immortal and Martial Arts. The ancestors of the ancient immortals are still there. The Immortal Path occupies half of the universe. The Martial Arts is slightly inferior, but it also occupies more than 30% of the Tianyun. The remaining Dao has more than 30% of the Tianyun. It is less than 20%, and a full-scale war is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg."
"During the melee, Dao Ancestor appeared out of nowhere, fought with Xian Ancestor, and severely damaged him, and then was combined by Xian Wu Dao. Kill.”
"The Dao Ancestor was alone and weak. Someone helped him open the door of time and space. He found helpers from the future. In that battle, flesh and blood corpses filled up star fields one after another. In the end, the ancestor of the ancient immortals fell, and the strong ones in the martial arts ancestral realm, Three people were killed, and Tianyun was able to collapse and reorganize."
"The ancient history before this battle was completely buried, and no information was passed down. The only thing that is clear is that Daozu is not dead. Hundreds of millions of years later, when he reappeared, he already held 30% of the destiny."
"After that, it was about the division of destiny. Many alien creatures and some Taoists took the opportunity to counterattack and got some. Share, this is the future of all heavens and worlds. Then Daozu took action, gave up half of his destiny, and opened up a starry sky. It was a land outside the world, called the Sea of Chaos. The strongest could not enter, and it became a land for the weak. A place of reproduction. "
"It is said that when the Sea of Chaos was opened, a fragment of the law of time and space of the great universe fell into it, so there is a big gap between the speed of time there and that of the great universe. "
Speaking of this, Kuang Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Daozu has been missing for a long time, maybe because of the great disaster, and now he no longer knows where he is."
The catastrophe of the Qi Refiner was really too fatal.
Chu Zheng had heard a little bit about the great battle in the last years of Taikoo, but he didn’t know much about it.
But it doesn’t make much sense to pursue the truth now.
Coming back to his senses, Chu Zheng’s eyes flashed slightly and he asked, “Have you ever heard of Taoist Master Zhengchu?”
“Daojun Zhengchu?”
Kuang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Within the Dao Sect, all the veins are added together, there are only ten Dao Lords in total, and there is absolutely no such person's name."
< br>"Is it possible that he is a person from the past? He has just been forgotten?" Chu Zheng asked, feeling a little uneasy. The temple in the big tomb had always made him a little uneasy.
If Zhengchu Daojun once appeared, then there must be some unknown connection between Zhengchu Daojun, him and Daozu.
“Being revered as the Dao Lord, I think he has entered the realm of eternal myths, so there will be legends about him everywhere, and it is impossible for him to be forgotten.”
Kuang Yuanshan thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Unless this so-called Taoist Lord is not a member of the Taoist sect, or is a person who existed before the ancient times."
