Chapter 532 Quietly lost contact
Through the connections, Chu Tai’s aura gradually became entangled with the aura of Qingli Caixian.
[Tong Zi] Under the Dao Fruit Fragment System, the abilities of the eighth-grade [Wandering Scholar] and the seventh-grade [Alchemist] begin to take effect.
[Wandering Scholar] condenses corresponding regional spells based on the rumors related to the region and himself.
[Fang Warlock] can transform the local legends collected and recorded by Yuyou into exclusive abilities.
These two abilities were not originally of high rank, but when used at this time, they just helped Chu Tai contact Qingli Caixian, allowing him to borrow a little bit of the other party's power and sense the power of the other party's Dao Fruit.
The most important thing is that this method of using the power of will can itself draw the power of humanity to a certain extent, allowing Chu Tai to better compare the changes in the Qingli Caixian Dao Fruit.
The golden light on his fingertips turned and condensed a special copper coin. After Chu Tai felt it carefully, he let go of his hand and the copper coin fell to the ground.
'It's true... In order to achieve the third level, did this guy choose to have a certain blend with humanity...'
'That's right when you think about it, he has only been able to achieve the fourth level for a hundred years. Around the year, if you want to achieve the third level as soon as possible, humanity is the best choice. ’
Chu Tai was not surprised by the choice of Qingli Caixian. At the beginning, he and Master Tianque speculated that there would be another collision or local re-integration in the next two days, and many recent changes were silently explained. This possibility.
Once turmoil occurs again, it will be more difficult for Qingli to achieve enlightenment. After all, it will be difficult for him to perfect his reasoning in a turbulent situation.
Only by achieving the third level in advance can we have the opportunity to protect more people when the two days collide.
Chu Tai, who understood this, looked in the direction where he had felt the breath of Qingli Daoguo before, and sighed in his heart.
'It's a pity that in the eyes of some people, his choice is to give them leverage. This idea of saving all sentient beings has become their capital to make further progress. Otherwise, this wealth fairy would be able to supervise those copper coins. His forging will not have such a negative impact, and I don’t know if he can survive it...'
While Chu Tai was thinking, he glanced at the statue of the Immortal of Fortune in Baiyun Temple. After Xiao Bin's practice and tempering during this period, the impurities and dirt inside have been in a relatively stable state.
The same situation also occurs in Faguang Temple. At this moment, Zen Master Zhiyu is always paying attention to the changes in the statues, refining their vows day and night to prevent the growth of filth. When Chu Tai looked towards Faguang Temple, he suddenly saw traces of strange clouds.
The cloud was condensed like a black curtain, but there was an image of a flying snake inside, and there were streams of blood rising around it.
‘Huh? A fifth-grade military monk? It seems that they are still acquaintances, and judging from their appearance, they still plan to come to Baiyun Temple? ’
Chu Tai greeted Xiao Bin and returned to the backyard to start making arrangements.
The other party's cultivation level was a bit higher than that of the Mangshan people played by Chu Tai at the moment. In order not to weaken his posture and not be seen as wrong, he activated the surrounding mountains and rivers to form layers of precious light surrounding him.
Therefore, when Shen Zhanpeng rushed here, before he went up the mountain, he saw layers of precious light rising from the mountains, spiritual wisdom entrenched, and auspicious clouds surrounding the mountains.
"What a precious place for cultivation, what a wonderful landscape, and so full of inspiration. It seems that the Yamei Mountain man is really my old friend."
Shen Zhanpeng asked the soldiers who followed him to stay. At the foot of the mountain, I took two of my guards to visit.
When Xiao Bin first met Shen Zhanpeng, he was startled by the blood on his body, and carefully led him to Chu Tai.
As soon as they met, Shen Zhanpeng smiled and said: "It's really been a long time since we last met. How is Shanren doing these days? Speaking of which, Si Shubai had been looking for you for a long time and gave up after receiving no news. I wonder where you are practicing now?"
"I just found a place to stay and practice well. Whether I can become a Taoist in the future is still open to question. However, the aura of Baihu is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that my cultivation has improved a lot in these years."
While speaking, Chu Tai had already stood up and introduced Shen Zhanpeng into the room. During this period, the two personal guards following Shen Zhanpeng stood outside the door and did not follow him inside.
“The improvement in cultivation is not small, but it’s just that I was forced to run back and forth, fought too much, and my breath was no longer peaceful.”
After sitting down, Shen Zhanpeng said again: “This point I am very envious of you, Shanren. Your breath is pure, your spiritual energy is full, and you are vaguely in harmony with the heaven and earth. That is why your cultivation is progressing rapidly and you are expected to achieve immortality.”
"You and I are old acquaintances, so don't make any excuses. What is the purpose of Baihu coming here today?"
Seeing this, Shen Zhanpeng looked slightly solemn: "It's not a big deal, just here. Take a look at the problem with the Immortal of Fortune statue here. "
"The imperial court knows that there is something wrong with the statue?"
Chu Tai's question made Shen Zhanpeng laugh. : "Take it back? Who will pay for the manpower and material resources consumed during this period? Check again, who will pay for the money to reshape the statues? The silver allocated by the court has been used up, and each yamen has also stamped its official seal to indicate that it is qualified. At this time, these statues will be If we take it back, do we still need to hold those in the government accountable?”
“Shouldn’t we?”
Chu Tai answered casually, and Shen Zhanpeng smiled and did not answer. The previous paragraph was actually out of line. If he had not been really depressed and had some ability and was not afraid of ordinary gossip, he would not have said these things.
But this content is already the limit. You can use excuses such as nagging and talking about family matters, but when you talk about it later, it smells like a statement, and even his family background cannot be avoided.
Chu Tai also noticed Shen Zhanpeng's scruples and did not continue to ask. He said softly: "I wonder what the current solution is?"
"Let me wait for a few hundred households to patrol around the place. If something is wrong, he will secretly dispel the miscellaneous energy in the statue. If anyone blocks it, it will be regarded as having escaped into the devil's way..."
Hearing this, Chu Tai couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had guessed it. The imperial court would make some abstract decisions, but I didn't expect things to be as abstract as this.
It regards those blocked by the statues as demons and is unwilling to take action to clean up the problem of the statues. Is this really a court that inherits the path of the Holy King, rather than some backward country under the monarch-demon system?
Seeing Chu Tai's surprise, Shen Zhanpeng sneered: "What I heard at the beginning also seemed ridiculous, but whoever asked them to get a higher official position, I can only choose to accept it, and try not to do it as much as possible. To hurt those who were deceived. But in the process, I made another discovery."
Chu Tai felt a sense of crisis in his heart, suppressing his emotions and pretending to be calm. asked: "What happened?"
"There are really demonic monks who are involved in the affairs of these idols. And it's not just one or two cases. Basically, every three or four towns you pass, one or two will fall into the demonic way. The magic methods practiced by these people are all kinds of strange."
"From making offerings to secret demons, to swallowing blood and refining techniques, from extracting souls to refine souls, to peeling skin and cramps, from targeting others to targeting oneself. Basically, low-level magic from the Heavenly Demon Path, the Blood Demon Path, the Buddha Demon Path, and the Lord Demon Path can all be seen in these people, and each one is better than an ordinary person.”
"What they have in common is that they all devoutly believe in the Immortal of Wealth. They always believe that the Immortal of Wealth taught them how to practice, allowing them to escape from the shackles of mortals and have the power to control their own destiny." Chu Tai did not respond immediately and thought for a moment. Said: "But this should not be the case."
"The mountain people's sharp eyes can immediately see the problem. We have carefully investigated these people who practice magic and fall into the devil's way. In addition to their surly personalities, many of them are people with hatred. They have been able to control their emotions, or reconcile with themselves, and can return to normal life, but they have to worship the statue of the Immortal of Wealth to move forward one by one. Extreme."
"In this case, the government is still unwilling to clean up the statues?"
Faced with Chu Tai's emotion, Shen Zhanpeng shut up again and did not speak.
Sighing, Chu Tai asked again: "The reason why Baihu told me these things is not to chat with me. What exactly do you mean?" The place where I am settling now is probably the Taiyi Jinhua Sect."
There is nothing to hide about this. Chu Tai nodded and said yes. Su Zhanpeng heard this and said with a smile: "I don't know, Shanren, you are in the sect. Maybe you can talk?”
“I can barely speak a few words.”
“That’s good. My cousin’s grandson turned eight years ago, but he is a military master and a martial artist. The progress is slow, but I can learn some Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures very quickly. I wonder if the mountain man can help introduce some of them, so that my great nephew can see the atmosphere of the immortal sect. "
Chu Tai heard the words and said with a smile: "I remember that the hundreds of families were well off, and they themselves were a side branch of the founding achievements of the dynasty. They inherited the blood of the heavenly people and had thousands of acres of spiritual land. Many sects wanted to learn the Dharma from their masters. Everyone will welcome you, so why choose the one who is far away?”
“My great-nephew can be considered a pampered child, and we don’t have access to other fairy families. We are worried that we will become enemies instead of getting along, so we just want to find an acquaintance. , even if something happens, there is still some room for change."
Chu Tai knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't find it easy. After thinking about it, he said, "I can give you a letter of recommendation. , as for whether it can happen, it depends on the fate of your great-nephew."
"As long as you have the letter, I don't dare to ask for anything else."
Shen Zhanpeng expressed his gratitude again and again. Leave with the letter written by Chu Tai.
But when leaving, Shen Baihu suddenly said: "It's best not to worry too much about the things of this Immortal."
Hearing this, Chu Tai's eyes It became a little dark. Looking at Shen Zhanpeng leaving, he didn't know what he was thinking. He silently made a farewell and asked Jingran'er who had stolen the door.
Unexpectedly, this Thieving Immortal has lost contact.
Chu Tai was shocked, silently making calculations, and contacted several other monks from the stealing sect. He was surprised to find that they didn't even know that Qian An'er had lost contact.
Chu Tai was even more surprised, silently calculating the secrets related to it, but the more he calculated, the stranger things he saw.
From the information he deduced, Qing An'er was sometimes in a state of death, sometimes in a dangerous situation, and sometimes it felt like he had not been found.
Chu Tai touched a little bit of Qing An'er's tail several times, but was avoided by her deftly.
‘Who is he avoiding? ’
Chu Tai saw something was wrong, and the angle of calculation changed. With the blessing of Donghuang Bell and the mist of [Yun Zhongjun], he finally found some trace of this person.
After saying something to Xiao Bin, Chu Tai took a step forward, the phantoms of the landscape changed, and Chu Tai rushed towards the place where Qing Er'er's breath last appeared.
As for Qing An'er, when he was calculated several times before, he was quite surprised, but later he found that the other party's calculation method was a bit special, so he gritted his teeth and dispersed some of his aura, so that outsiders could sense it. Then he quickly ran away.
Just this moment of leaking his aura made his pursuers realize something was wrong.
There was only a bang, like the sound of thunder drums above the nine heavens, and then dark clouds turned into a big hand and fell down, with five fingers spread out, covering a hundred feet in radius, sealing the void, and grabbed it suddenly .
Jian Ran'er, who was among them, saw the big hand pressing down on him, his face changed slightly, and he sacrificed a magic weapon without hesitation. Five spiritual lights gathered together and turned into a thin layer of mist that lifted upwards. There was a sound of tearing silk and satin, and the Five Qi Guiyuan tent that had been maintained for many years was completely destroyed.
But Qi Ran'er also took advantage of the opportunity gained by the magic weapon to squeeze several magic formulas in succession, and her body suddenly turned into dozens of bloody lights flying around. When they came together again, there were already dozens of Inside and outside.
It's just that the cost of using this method is that his face turns pale and his blood energy collapses.
But before Qian Ran'er could take a breath, a blue rainbow light fell down, spinning up and down, and twisting at his neck.
With a flick of his long sleeve, the broken Yin-Yang Scorpion Tail Hook flew out, trying to hold the rainbow light, but it was easily cut off. She was so frightened that Qian An'er could only throw out a rough-made straw man instead. He was cut off.
Jian An'er, who had escaped for dozens of miles again, hid under a big tree. Her body was in harmony with the smell of the surrounding vegetation, and she was complaining silently in her heart.
'What a big loss, what a big loss. I didn’t expect to meet a few demonic monks who had sneaked into the Central Plains this time. It’s true that things from the imperial court are hard to get, especially when they gave away such treasures in the first place. , even more fatal! ’
Thinking about it, Jing An'er took out a jade talisman from her arms. It exuded a misty clear light, protecting Jing An'er's aura and preventing outsiders from detecting his traces and deducing his fate.
"Click!"
A subtle sound came from the jade talisman. Quietly looked at the cracked jade talisman, his face turned pale. He vaguely guessed the problem, but he had no time to detail it. Thinking about it, I have to continue to escape.
It just so happened that the incarnation of Chu Tai arrived at this time. After seeing Qing An'er, he grabbed his friend who was a thief and escaped underground.
‘It’s useless, they have some kind of magic weapon for hiding in their hands, and ordinary escape techniques will not work. ’
Hearing this, Chu Tai did not answer. While avoiding the attacks from the sky, he pulled Qing An'er to a valley surrounded by clouds and mist in the mountains. He stretched out his hand and a faint mist emerged, matching the mist in the mountains.
Jian An'er, who originally wanted to persuade, was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, and then she saw several rainbow lights falling around the two of them, without harming them.
