Chapter 375 The Seeker, the Immortal One (asking for monthly votes in the middle of the month)
Yu Lingzi looked at this scene in horror and almost ran away. However, Chen Shi stood there and did not dare to run away. He secretly cried out in his heart: "I, Taihua Qinggong, am afraid that my family will be destroyed."
The fourth Taihua elder is his uncle, Changying's uncle.
There are not many people of this generation still alive, Patriarch Qiongyang is one of them.
Taihua Fourth Elder is older than Patriarch Qiongyang, and is also a Mahayana realm existence. His cultivation is powerful and unfathomable.
The four of them have been in seclusion all year round, allowing themselves to be in a state of turtle breath, using the turtle breath method to extend their lives. This method can extend the life span for decades and preserve the peak combat power of Taihua Qinggong.
In ordinary times, even if there is a magical change, the four elders of Taihua will not leave seclusion. Only when Taihua Qing Palace is at a critical juncture of life and death will they be awakened and turn the tide.
However, this time, the four elders were unable to turn the tide, and they fell without even a chance to take action!
This is also the reason why Yu Lingzi's Taoist heart collapsed.
The status of the Four Elders of Taihua is too high, even higher than that of Patriarch Qiongyang. Even though they have fallen, Taihua Qinggong has no power to resist.
Si Lao stood outside the Qingyang Palace, the muscles in his body were vibrating constantly, as if they were accelerating to break away from his own skin!
They regard their skin as a container to restrain themselves. Now it’s time to shed the skin and soar into the sky!
Their upper bodies were pulled out of the skin, and their faces showed joy, as if they had found great freedom.
This scene made Taoist Chang Ying feel his scalp numb and the back of his head itchy. It seemed that there was another self inside him, trying to burst him and break out.
But his face remained as usual, and it could even be said that his expression was calm. He ignored all his abnormalities with a sense of belief, walked into the Qingyang Palace, and faced his mentor.
"Master."
He bowed to Jinghong and then to Qingyang, "Master Qingyang."
Jinghong laughed and said, "The two children outside, please come in."
Taoist Changying frowned slightly and looked outside the hall.
Chen Shi took Yu Lingzi and walked into Qingyang Palace.
Yu Lingzi followed closely, not daring to leave his side.
The sun and the moon are constantly dancing around the two of them, each coming and going is a wave, the yin and yang are intertwined into a wave, and between the swings and refining, the invading evil spirits suddenly disappear.
When the two passed by the Four Elders of Taihua, the four old men stood frozen in their skins. Their eyes rolled and fell on them, which startled Yu Lingzi.
Yin-Yang Refining also interfered with the evil transformation of the four elders. One of the old Taoists shouted: "Brothers, wake up, we have been tricked!"
The other three Taoists also woke up and were about to strengthen their cultivation and fight against the evil transformation, but then the effect of the Yin-Yang Refining disappeared, and the four top masters were controlled by the evil again, smiling and continuing to transform.
Chen Shi's heart sank and he immediately saw the crux of the problem.
The four elders of Taihua all exist in the Mahayana realm, and the source of their evil transformation is in the great realm of void. The void realm of the Four Elders is thousands of miles wide, with the sun, moon, starry sky, mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans in it.
Chen Shi's Yin-Yang Refining can only illuminate a small part of their void realm. At most, they can regain their consciousness slightly, and then their minds will lose control.
Chen Shi and Yu Lingzi did not open up the Void Realm. Although their dojos were also eroded by Jinghong's evil energy,
But the area covered by the dojo was not large, and the Yin and Yang Dang Refining could remove and refine the evil spirits.
"The innocent Taoist is on the verge of evil transformation, with good and evil fighting in his body, and the boundaries are clear. Although the sun and moon in his void realm are large, they are too small compared to the void realm, so that they cannot refine the evil energy." He thought secretly in his heart.
Chen Shi walked into the Qingyang Palace and took a quick look around. He saw Jinghong, the former headmaster, sitting on the floor. He was an old Taoist. He looked extremely old, with white hair and wrinkles. He was short and thin, but his hair was very long.
His hair is all white and long, and his eyebrows are very long, hanging on his knees.
A skill came to Chen Shi's mind, the Dan He Ming Xiao Technique.
This kind of posture is often caused by practicing the Danhe Mingxiao Jue of Taihua Qinggong.
By practicing this method, one is often very thin and can live a long life.
At the top, there was a green sheep sitting on the altar, sitting cross-legged, about ten feet tall, and its green wool was extremely smooth. The green sheep looked at his nose and heart, but did not look at him.
Behind Qingyang, incense was curling up, and there were many lit incense sticks in the cauldron, with the Zhenwu Evil-killing Sword on top.
This fairy sword is absorbing the scent of incense.
Chen Shi looked away and looked at Taoist Changying.
Chang Ying sat opposite Jinghong. Seeing that the two of them could reach this point without changing, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Chen Shi bowed and said, "I have met senior Jinghong."
Jinghong's eyes fell on the sun and moon orbiting his body, and he was quite surprised and said: "Are you not a Taoist? Wait a minute, your appearance reminds me of an old friend.
Taoist Changying looked at Chen Shi and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to tell his true origin.
Chen Shi ignored it and said: "My grandfather once studied Taoism in Taihua Qinggong. His name was Chen Yindu. Does Senior Jinghong remember it?"
Chang Ying Taoist's face changed slightly, and his eyes fell on the Zhenwu Evil Killing Sword behind Qingyang. As long as Jinghong made any changes, he would sacrifice the sword!
At the same time, the back muscles of Qingyang sitting on the altar quietly swelled, and his target was also the Zhenwu Evil Killing Sword!
This fairy sword is unparalleled in its power. If Jinghong attacks Chen Shi, he will immediately grab this sword and kill Jinghong!
Jinghong did not get angry as they expected. Instead, he looked at Chen Shi with interest and said, "Are you Chen Yindu's grandson? No wonder you look so similar. I thought Chen Yindu had become younger and came back to see me."
He recalled the past and said: "When Chen Yindu came to the mountain, I was the proud son of the Taihua Qing Palace. I was a divine child with profound and powerful cultivation. I could learn all the Taoist methods in one go. Everyone in the school respected me, and many junior sisters also favored me. They fought to become my Taoist companion. What is Taihua Si? "Old, they are all defeated by me. Qiong Yang, Qiong Hua, and Qiong Yu all fall in love with me. My master even said to me that you are the next headmaster. At that time, I was unparalleled. "
Outside the hall, the voices coming from the mouths of the four elders of Taihua were drying.
The skin of the fourth elder stood where he was, as if he were still alive.
Some of the four old Taoists actually grew cicada wings, which were very thin. They fluttered their wings and flew up to the big tree on the left side in front of the main hall. They lay on the tree and chirped like cicadas.
There was also an old Taoist who fluttered his cicada wings, flew to the opposite hall, and hung upside down under the eaves.
The other two old Taoists showed envy and said one after another: "Two senior brothers have achieved enlightenment!"
But the strange thing is that they quickly grew skin, then froze there and continued to transform.
In addition to them, the other Taoists from Taihua Qinggong were crawling on all fours like golden cicadas, coming towards Qingyang Palace, crawling and then stopping to shed their shells and transform!
Many Taoists have transformed themselves into the shape of a three-foot-long boy, but their appearance is extremely old, like an octogenarian.
Yu Lingzi's uncle Mei was also among them. He was a sika deer that had achieved some success. He was also shedding his skin. A bloody deer head poked out from the deer's skin and shouted: "Yo, 1, 1, yo! Transformation and ascension are close before your eyes! Yo, 1, 1."
Jinghong changed the subject and said: "But since Chen Yindu came, everything has changed. I have never seen such a smart, bohemian person, so talented that I am jealous. When Chen Yindu arrived at Qingyang Palace, I felt that I received less attention, and I felt that I was receiving less attention. There was also less admiration. Many junior fellow apprentices fell in love with this new Taoist. Chen Yindu was clearly the worst born, and he was obviously not as talented as me, but he was so smart and handsome.
There was a sound of the skin bag cracking outside. One of the old Taoists pulled out his head from the back of his skin bag and shouted happily: "Yi, this is the secret of feathering and ascension! I have achieved the Tao!"
Chen Shi smiled and said : "Senior Jinghong, why do Taoists care about this? Shouldn't they be quiet and inactive?"
Jinghong sighed: "I thought too, but I was young and energetic at that time and couldn't let go. Now my mood is high. A lot. At that time, Qiong Yang also liked him and got very close to him. In a short period of time, he learned almost all the exercises and spells in Taihua Qinggong, and applied them to other examples to create many new ones and even modified the original ones. It's beyond recognition, but the effect is better than the original technique. He also said that our Taihua Qinggong inheritance is nothing more than this, and it has a false name." Qingyang said coldly: "Chen Yin is going too far, isn't he?"
Jinghong nodded and said: "He really went too far and took away the glory that originally belonged to me. I was very angry, so I challenged him. I told him that if I lose, the position of the next headmaster will be given to you. If you lose, get out of Taihua Mountain. He had a good temper and did not agree, so I forced him to take action, and then I lost and almost died under his spell."
Qingyang said: "You almost got killed by him, you hate him very much."
Jinghong said: "I really hate him, I hate that he took away everything from me. After I was defeated, I lost all hope.
After a few years of confusion, this hatred became stronger and stronger. However, he did not become the head teacher. Instead, he dug up the ancestor's grave and was expelled from Taihua Qing Palace. After leaving the Qing Palace, he abducted the Qingyang Patriarch. I hated him so much. My master was already old at that time, and he actually ran away instead of becoming the head teacher. I hated him for trampling on my dignity, I hated him for digging up the ancestor's grave for the sake of immortality, and I hated him for abandoning Qiongyang and the others. Even though I have succeeded him as the head teacher, I still can't help but hate him. Until one day, I discovered that I was old. "
He said softly: "I found that my hair was gray, and that my internal organs were uncontrollably aging. I found that my spirit was getting stronger and stronger, but my body was getting older and older, and it became increasingly difficult to accommodate such a powerful spirit. Only then did I understand Chen Yindu. Suddenly, I no longer hate your grandfather."
He looked at Chen Shi, showing admiration, and said: "On the contrary, I admire him very much, and even respect him.
He was too ahead of his time. He was already pursuing immortality before he was old. However, it was not until I was old that I understood what he was doing and started pursuing immortality. I am much inferior to him. "
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "My grandfather is not pursuing immortality, he is pursuing the mystery of Tao. Headmaster Jinghong,
You have misunderstood."
Jinghong laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand Chen Yindu, but I understand him. Compared to immortality, what is a woman? What is love? What is the leader? He can leave behind all these things. He is a true seeker!"
Qingyang sneered and said: "Jinghong, you have misunderstood Chen Yindu. Chen Yindu is a seeker of Taoism, not a seeker of immortality.
His thoughts are all on developing Taoism and recreating the civilization of the True King's era, even surpassing his predecessors and surpassing the ancients. He was so obsessed with the avenue that he fascinated Qiong Yang, so he asked me to give up my status and follow him. "
Jinghong thought for a moment and smiled: "Maybe you are right. But then, Chen Yindu let me down. He actually gave up the road to immortality and the road to ascension for his grandson, and went to fight with Xijing. He left everything behind just to ask for his grandson, and would rather not live forever or die. Tao. He is a waste."
He sneered and said: "I despise Chen Yindu like this! I want to personally verify the path to immortality and ascend myself!
I not only want to ascend, I also want to take all the Taoists from Taihua Qing Palace to ascend with me! Back then, I lost to him,
But after all these years, I will not lose this time! "
He was full of pride and laughed loudly: "I found a manuscript left by Chen Yindu, which records the picture of the golden cicada's escape from the shell of the immortal. He dug it out from the tomb of the ancestor. He sorted out this lost skill. , and also made annotations. He left a comment of eight characters: This is a heretic, and he is a fake immortal. "
"Yo Yi Yi Yo! I am one step closer to becoming an ascension!" Uncle Mei's voice came from outside.
It has transformed into a deer-like shape. If it continues to transform, it is unlikely that it will disappear from the human world.
Taoist Changying looks outside, while Yuanshen looks towards the underworld.
These Taoists are not only transforming their physical bodies, but their souls are also transforming. Every time they change, their souls become smaller!
If you continue to transform like this, it won’t be long before you transform yourself into nothingness and cease to exist!
However, what is strange is that after the four elders of Taihua transformed five or six times, they all grew wings like cicada wings, and the speed of transformation also slowed down greatly, as if they had really transformed away their impurities and approached the immortal body!
Taoist Changying saw this scene. Even though his Taoist heart was firm, he couldn't help but waver. He thought, "Is Master's path really the right one? Can he really allow us to ascend as a disciple?"
Jinghong smiled and said: "The monks transformed again and again, shedding the impurities of the physical body and soul, and gradually evolved into the immortal body. The immortal soul can then merge with the Tao! This is what Chen Yindu did not see back then, and I saw the secret to becoming an immortal. Changying, made a comparison for the teacher. Chen Yindu is doing something even more powerful! My master will lead you all to join the world and ascend to the immortal world!”
Taoist Chang Ying frowned and looked outside, only to see a Taoist with a weaker cultivation transforming himself into the size of a baby, but he was still in the process of transformation!
Suddenly, Chen Shi smiled and said: "Then, since Senior Jinghong clearly understood the method of ascension, why did he seek out the Taoist Master Tianzhen? Could it be that you also saw the shortcomings in the picture of the golden cicada's escape from the shell of the immortal, so you went to seek Taoist Master Tianzhen's yin and yang practice to prevent yourself from becoming evil?"
Jinghong said comfortably: "Master Tianzhen? Who is the Taoist Master Tianzhen?"
Chen Shi was shocked and lost his voice: "Aren't you the one who used the fairy fire to burn away the golden bell sealing technique?"
Jinghong asked doubtfully: "What fairy fire?"
Chen Shi asked: "Taoist Tianzhen is the fire-burning Taoist boy of Zhenyang Patriarch. He has reached the Ascension Realm and uses Yin and Yang to refine evil spirits. He was beheaded when he was about to ascend. You don't know this?"
Jinghong asked in confusion: "Is there such a powerful person in our Taihua Qing Palace?"
The moment he was distracted, Qingyang turned around without thinking, grabbed the Zhenwu Evil Sword, swung it down, and shouted: "Changying, Qiongyang, help me kill evil!"
One by one, brothers, it's the middle of the month, please give me a monthly ticket for the great road!
