Myriad Paths

Chapter 493: Plunder

Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard the name.

Luofu Mountain...

Of course he knew that Luofu Mountain was one of the ghost gates.

Five ghost gates, and five ghost emperors.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor Shentu and Yulei brothers governed Dushuo Mountain.

The Northern Ghost Emperor governed Luofeng Mountain.

The Central Ghost Emperor governed Baodui Mountain.

The Western Ghost Emperor governed Dangzhong Mountain.

And... the Southern Ghost Emperor governed Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain, originally there was only one mountain, called Luoshan.

Suddenly one day, a flying peak floated from the direction of the East China Sea, which is called "the combination of the immortals and the floating peaks".

So, a floating flying peak, plus the original Luoshan, combined together, is called Luofu Mountain. There are fifteen ridges, twenty-two peaks, nine hundred and eighty waterfalls and springs, and the caves are unmatched in the mountain. There was a poem that said:

"More than four hundred cliffs are lined up on the sea, and their roots are connected to Peng Island and shade Tiantai.

If all the spirits were to move to the Central Earth, Songhua would become a small pile."

This poem explains the origin. The Records of Famous Mountains says: "The veins of Luoshan Mountain come from Dayu; Fushan Mountain is an island of the fairy mountain, which comes from the sea and merges with Luoshan Mountain, so it is called Luofu."

As one of the ten great caves of Taoism, it is connected to Gouqu and has a water island on it. It is called the blessed land of springs, where the great source of heaven and earth is strong. Practicing in it will make a thousand miles a day.

There are also many great people who came from Luofu Mountain. The famous Taoist great man "Baopuzi" is a practitioner and founder of Luofu Mountain. He is good at refining elixirs and writing books. The elixir furnace he used to refine elixirs is the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron.

He promoted the way of ascension, the principle of guiding and nourishing, and the matter of yellow and white. He wrote thirty volumes, twenty of which were named "Inner Chapters" and ten of which were named "Outer Chapters". He called himself Baopuzi, and named the book after his fate, so it was named "Baopuzi". It is a very famous Taoist classic, but it is now missing.

At the same time, this is also... the hometown of rabbits.

Li Qi and his dragon put away the ghost car and landed here.

This is the outer periphery of Luofu Mountain. From here, you can clearly see the beauty of this Taoist cave.

Twenty-two steep and green peaks, cold smoke and cold trees, the fairy temple is far away in the clouds, and the rock vines are shady.

Deep in the white clouds, it seems that you can still see the overlapping green moss spots in the courtyard.

In the sky, you can see a Feilai Peak that spans 500 miles and covers the sky. Feilai Peak hangs above the sky. It is an inverted mountain, wide on the top and sharp on the bottom.

At the sharp end, there is a similar mountain below, like a reflection of the water surface, but it is a normal mountain, corresponding to the floating mountain in the sky.

This is the complete Luofu Mountain. Between the two mountains, it seems like a reflection in the lake, and it seems like the yin and yang fish take care of each other, forming such a wonderful scene.

Shen Shuibi stood here, looking at the overlapping Luoshan and Fushan, which were yin and yang, and was a little absent-minded for a while.

Li Qi did not disturb her. Lao Ma naturally knew how to read the atmosphere. He turned into the size of a palm and wrapped around Li Qi's wrist.

However, Shen Shuibi did not lose her mind for too long. She woke up soon, shook her head slightly, and said: "The lower one is Luoshan, which has a blessed land. The upper one is Fushan, which has a spiritual spring. The place where the two peaks touch each other is Zhuming Cave, which is the Ten Great Caves. Under Luofu Mountain is the ghost gate. The Southern Ghost Emperor, you may not know his name. His name is Du Ziren. We came out of his ghost gate."

"So, the ghost gates are actually interconnected?" Li Qi asked.

"It can be said to be interconnected. After all, they are all connected to the underworld, but it is not without distance. It still takes a while to travel, but the distance is much closer than going directly from the world." Shen Shuibi replied.

Then, she looked at Luofu Mountain in the distance and suddenly said, "Li Qi, let's delay for a few hours and go in to take a look, how about that?"

Li Qi put his hand on her shoulder and said, "What's the matter, what's the big deal about going in to take a look, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go, so let's go in directly?"

"Go in directly? However, there is no need to be cautious and sneak forward, Lao Ma, you should have the power of a demon dragon now, and you can dispel some ghosts and demons, so that the road... It will be more comfortable to look at." Shen Shuibi said to Lao Ma.

The body of Lao Ma suddenly became larger, from the size of a leaf to a length of ten feet, enough to carry two people.

Li Qi was not vague, holding Shen Shuibi's hand and riding on Lao Ma.

But Lao Ma rolled up his body and launched directly! He rushed forward with the force of wind and thunder!

The speed was several times faster than before, even faster than Li Qi's cruising speed.

Sure enough, professionals are professionals. Li Qi may be able to surpass Lao Ma in a short period of time, but the cruising speed for a long journey is still far less than Lao Ma.

As for Lao Ma, he was advancing rapidly, passing through the many branch mountain ranges of Luofu Mountain.

These immortal mountain spiritual veins usually have many Taoist practitioners living here, refining elixirs, practicing Taoism, and discussing some things about ascending to heaven and earth. It is the same now. It seems that... the collapse of Luofu Mountain did not have much impact on them.

Or, even if the original batch of people died, many Taoist practitioners have come here one after another in recent years to continue to occupy these branches.

After all, it is a branch of Luofu Mountain, with abundant sources of heaven and earth, and it is more efficient to absorb and exhale spiritual energy. If you can get the blessed land spiritual spring falling from Luofu Mountain, it will be a great opportunity.

Li Qi rode the demon dragon through the sky above these immortal mountain spiritual veins, and occasionally he could feel a gaze, as if the people below had no hostility to the comers.

Yes, this is the territory of Luofu Mountain, what hostility can they have?

Riding on the old horse, looking at the many alchemy furnaces below, as well as exercises, chopping wood, carrying water, and rows of practitioners practicing swordsmanship and boxing, Li Qi felt in a trance that this place was full of vitality. Thriving.

However, looking at Shen Shuibi's expression, Li Qicai realized that compared with Luofu Mountain's heyday, these things outside were just weeds.

Just like a royal palace, when it is truly prosperous, it is in order and the majesty of the palace is as dignified as the sun, and no one dares to look up at it.

Now, there are just some weeds growing among the ruins of the palace.

Although it can still be regarded as 'vital', compared with the solemn scene of Luofu Mountain in the past...

Forget it, there's no point in talking about that.

Li Qi and others continued to fly forward, flying for more than three hundred miles.

From here, we begin to enter the former gate of Luofu Mountain.

If you had come here a few decades ago, you would have stopped here. At that time, the Tianmen of Luofu Mountain was still in operation, and the inside and outside were directly separated by magic. If you want to enter, you must visit from the heavenly ladder.

But now there are no such restrictions, so you can easily see the place inside clearly. All the weird and wonderful places that were previously inaccessible can now be browsed at will.

As Shen Shuibi flew, she pointed at the scenery below and introduced those peaks to Li Qi as if nothing had happened.

Feiyun Peak, Yue Peak, Magu Peak, Huizhen Peak, Huixian Peak, Jinxiu Peak, Tortoiseshell Peak...

Then, he began to identify the caves one by one.

Yele Cave, Shixue Cave, Huangdonglong, Zhuling Cave, Huangyuan Cave, Butterfly Cave, and the most famous Zhuming Cave are all kinds of natural wonders, which are particularly outstanding.

The orioles in the forbidden forest are singing, butterflies are flying wildly, the dawn flowers are holding the dew, and the wind and flowers are fragrant.

The rosy clothes on the stone wall are still half-hanging, and the pines in the wind are as long as the sound of a harp. At that time, I heard a crane rising from the top of the mountain.

The waves of Cave Lake are clear and the sky is clear, and the green hills are condensed with smoke. The true state here belongs to the gods.

Li Qi looked around. It was indeed near one of the top ten caves of Taoism. He seemed to be able to feel his cultivation improving while breathing, even comparable to the outer areas of Wushen Mountain.

It is not the outer area of ​​Wu Dao, but the outer area of ​​Wushen Mountain, the sacred mountain that truly stands in the world.

"Ah, there are some treasures over there that we probably didn't have time to collect. Lao Ma, let's go down and have a look." At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly pointed downward and said.

"Treasure?" Li Qi looked in the direction Shen Shuibi pointed.

The old horse was very fast. As soon as Li Qi's eyes reached him, he had already landed and landed in the mountain stream below.

In the mountain stream, two spiritual grasses were swaying.

The spiritual grass is shaped like a small mulberry, three or four feet long, with branches and leaves all red, and the branches and leaves are like pods. It seems that there is some kind of power that goes round and round.

Shen Shuibi squatted down, reached out and started picking. While picking, he said: "This thing is called Zhucao. It has juice like blood and can be dyed crimson. If you pour the juice into it with gold and silver, you can grind it with a stone to make a round shape." The mud becomes water and becomes golden syrup and jade wine. Drinking it will prolong your life and your life span will be five hundred."

Her technique was very neat, and it could be seen that this was not the first time she had done this kind of thing. The dexterity of her fingers surprised Li Qidu. It turns out that this is what a rabbit looks like when collecting herbs.

However, Rabbit didn't seem to notice Li Qi's gaze, but continued to look at another spiritual grass next to him and said, "The one next to you is the Resurrection Grass, also known as Earth gall. Its leaves are like mustard, its flowers are like ground tea, and it has clams." Crush it and wipe it, it can bring the dead back to life. This is a magical herb unique to the ghost gate. It is very useful. "

"However, it is said that it is brought back to life. In fact, it is just a temporary revival of the soul. If the soul has become a ghost, or the body has been broken, it will not survive. However, it is an excellent calming medicine when used to make medicine. It can stabilize the Yinshen and prevent them from drifting too far."

Li Qilue was familiar with herbal medicines, but only on paper. He was very familiar with various processing methods and picking techniques. Unfortunately, he had never used them, and they would most likely break at the first touch, so he did not do it, but watched Shen Shuibi pick the medicines from the side.

The Jade Rabbit is so cute, right?

After a few minutes, Shen Shuibi collected the two spiritual herbs, packed them up, then stood up, clapped his hands, and knocked the dust away.

After the Imperial Liquid Serum repaired her body, and her cultivation in recent years, her dirt-free body had almost recovered, so the dust just floated on the surface and would fall off naturally after being patted.

"What are you collecting these for? They are all seventh-grade spiritual herbs. It shouldn't be difficult to buy them." Li Qi walked forward and asked.

Shen Shui gave him a white look: "You are talking nonsense. Now that Luofu Mountain is being rebuilt, everything is in ruins. It is a time when we are short of money. You don't want anything you pick up for free on the roadside. Do you really think you are very rich?"

Li Qi was stunned when he heard this and couldn't say anything.

"Now that I'm back here, although I'm sad, I can't tell the situation clearly. There are still many places to spend money now, so why not take this opportunity to pick up more of these things? I'm going to go to the mountain gate in a while. See how many treasures are left and take them back together," Shen Shuibi said.

Li Qi was speechless. He thought that Shen Shuibi came here because he was homesick and wanted to see the place where he grew up. He didn't expect that her thoughts were so practical and she was actually planning to search out the last bit of her family's wealth...

However, it is appropriate.

What's the use of staying here? It's better to take them all back, which can relieve the lovesickness of everyone in Luofu Mountain. If you pick up something with commemorative value, you can take it back to the mountain gate and keep it safe. It's better than leaving it here.

Thinking of this, Li Qi also nodded and said, "As it should be, let's look around to see what else is left in the mountain and take it back with us."

"Okay, let's split up?" Shen Shuibi suggested.

Li Qize began to make plans habitually: "Well, the three of us will search three directions separately, with due north and southeast as the boundaries. You go to the north, I will go to the southeast, and the rest of the place belongs to Lao Ma. He runs fast, and the center Let’s not touch the area for the time being. I see a faint golden light rising over there, and I think there is something ominous. After we have sorted out everything outside, we can work together to go inside.”

"Lao Ma and I can't deal with things like spiritual grass, so we just mark them for you. The spiritual grass marked with Yin Qi is left for you." Li Qi arranged the action.

Shen Shuibi and Lao Ma naturally had no problem. After understanding how to divide the work, the two of them quickly separated and started to patrol the Luofu Mountain area.

They did not cover up their whereabouts along the way, especially Lao Ma. In order to drive away the ghosts and demons around him, he even more carelessly exuded his dragon aura.

Li Qi is now at the sixth level, and Shen Shuibi is at the fifth level. Although they did not deliberately release pressure during their actions, they followed the rules with their actions. This is the effect of the manifestation of the small world. This has no effect, but it will bring special effects. temperament, so nothing would attack them blindly.

However, to outsiders, this looting scene looked particularly like a robber.

...In fact, they are no different from bandits. They scraped three feet of the ground and took away all kinds of spiritual herbs, sacred gold mines, relics, magic weapons, charms, and even talismans.

Shen Shuibi controlled the silk threads formed by Qi, and gracefully passed through the sky, but she did not miss a single thing, everything was tied up by the silk threads and taken away.

Li Qize followed Wu Jin's approach. He directly raised his foot and chopped it up, called out the local mountain spirits and wild monsters, and asked them to help search the mountain. Afterwards, he gave them skills.

So, the spirits all over the mountains and plains went to run errands for Li Qi.

Only Lao Ma is an ox-horse. He can neither control mountain spirits nor wild monsters, and he is not as sharp-eyed and quick-handed as Shen Shuibi, so he can only run faster.

However, while they were searching the mountain, among the Taoist temples outside Luofu Mountain——

This Taoist temple is very cold. There is only one old Taoist priest, two young Taoist priests, three rooms and one hall, surrounded by a circle, and there are no special decorations.

The old Taoist among them muttered something, looked up at the sky, and then looked into Luofu Mountain, with a worried look on his face: "Hey, Luofu Mountain usually treats people well, why are there still people digging their graves after Ascension disappeared?"

(Just a dozen monthly passes short...)
