Chapter 494: Sending a Message
Outside Luofu Mountain, there are countless Taoist temples, all of which are gathered around.
In one of the Taoist temples, an old Taoist suddenly sighed.
The little Taoist priest who was practicing next to him heard this and said, "Ah? Master, what are you talking about? Digging a grave? What kind of grave are you digging?"
The old Taoist priest sighed: "I don't know who is so brave to dig the graves in Luofu Mountain. Demons and ghosts are rampant there. If Yang Shen is not condensed, just entering it is extremely dangerous, but what is the real Yang Shen?" It’s rare? I really don’t know what to say.”
"Master Yang Shen..." When the little Taoist priest who was practicing martial arts heard this, he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.
Yang Shen Zhenren, it is said that the master has not reached this level, and the master has only just condensed it, and it has not yet reached pure yang. It will take thirty to fifty years of hard work to completely transform the yin god into the yang god.
This is not an ordinary difficulty. It requires tempering the spirit bit by bit, condensing the soul, and turning the soul from yin to yang.
After a person dies, the soul goes directly to the underworld. You know that the soul is pure yin in itself. How much perseverance is needed to temper the soul into pure yang, so that it is not afraid of the sun, wind and thunder?
It’s scary to think about it.
As for the inside of Luofu Mountain... only Yang Shen Zhenren can set foot in it, because there are too many demons and ghosts in it. It is said that there are countless ghosts inside, and you can encounter ghosts when you go in at night. It is really scary, so all the practitioners outside know that, You can't get involved casually. Even if you want to go in to collect spiritual springs and spiritual herbs, you must take advantage of the strong yang energy during the day and go in a team, otherwise you will easily be unable to get out.
I don’t know what is entrenched inside. To be able to gather so many ghosts, there must be a ghost king inside, right?
For this young Taoist priest, Luofu Mountain is synonymous with danger. He doesn’t know why the master insists on living here. Maybe it’s because although it is dangerous, there are many spiritual grasses and spiritual springs produced there? Is it convenient for him to make elixirs?
The little Taoist priest was wandering in his thoughts, and suddenly, a whisk came down, giving him a hard blow on his buttocks, making him jump up in pain and jump around.
The old Taoist priest put away the fly whisk and said: "I am restless and can't even control my thoughts. What kind of Tao are you cultivating? Get up, calm down and try again. Otherwise, you will get sidetracked. Practicing in vain for one day is light, but you will be injured by then." Meridians, if you can’t practice them for four or five months, you will know what it means to regret your mistakes.”
The little Taoist priest quickly got up. He also knew how taboo it was to be distracted during practice, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master. I was just thinking about something and fell into a trance for a moment."
"Thinking about something? What is it?" the old Taoist priest asked.
The little Taoist priest scratched his head and said, "I just don't know. There is quite a lot of gloom around Luofu Mountain. Although there are some natural and earthly treasures, after all, gloomy ghosts run rampant at night. It's really not a good place to live. Master, why should we settle here?"
When talking about this topic, the old Taoist priest seemed to be nostalgic. He said reminiscingly: "In the past, Luofu Mountain was not like this. In the past, Master, when I just started, I often went to Qingyang Rock and Yele Cave under it. There were often The immortals in Luofu Mountain preach and often hear the immortal music."
The little Taoist priest was shocked and asked quickly: "Huh? Are there really immortals in Luofu Mountain? Then where have they gone?"
The old Taoist priest replied calmly: "Just a few years ago, the Luofu Mountains collapsed, causing 27 fractures, ruining residential buildings, and ravines. Mountains and rivers overflowed, drowning more than a thousand people, and all kinds of caves collapsed. Outside there was Rhinoceros Pond. , Phoenix Valley and Fengyu Lake were all destroyed, and the immortals who used to preach to the outside world were nowhere to be found.”
"Since then, the immortals in Luofu Mountain have disappeared, and those ghosts have emerged, so the area has become what it is now. In the past, it was a good day. There were immortals who preached, and if you were smart, Some may even be included in the gate wall and truly rank among the immortal gates. There is abundant spiritual energy in this area and there has been no danger in the past. That is really..." the old Taoist priest said in a reminiscing tone.
The old days were so good.
It's a pity that the little boy now has no chance to see it.
The old Taoist priest shook his head, it was just a pity for himself.
He had already been accepted as a registered disciple by the immortal master of Luofu Mountain, but he had not yet had time to go to the mountain gate to become a disciple.
But suddenly one day, he discovered that...all the living people on Luofu Mountain had disappeared, and ghosts were running rampant, turning it into a desperate place, from which only Yang Shen Zhenren could come and go freely...
No, it can’t be called free. Master Yangshen will be injured or even die inside. I can only say that I can walk around inside.
What a pity.
That immortal master said that as long as you condense the Yang Shen, you can enter that...eighth rank? He can become a registered disciple and listen to lectures outside the temple.
At that time, I asked the immortal master what the eighth grade was, and the immortal master said that he would tell him next time he came to formally listen to the lecture.
Unfortunately, the next time he went there, Luofu Mountain was still there, but the people were gone. Apart from the term Eighth Grade, he knew nothing about it anymore, just like those people outside.
Now, I have enough knowledge to condense the Yang Shen, but unfortunately I don’t know if I can see the Immortal Master again?
While thinking about this, the old Taoist priest began to urge the young apprentice again, asking him to calm down and practice the exercises quickly. Today's homework must not be left behind.
This apprentice's talent is extremely good. With his guidance, I imagine that with ten years of hard training at most, he will be able to condense the Yin Shen. By then, he will be able to fly around the world and travel thousands of miles away, and he won't need to watch by himself.
The old Taoist priest was thinking this, but suddenly he saw a magpie flying suddenly from outside, flying straight over from a distance.
However, the magpie flew straight and stiffly, and looked like it had no spirituality, as if it was stupid.
Seeing this, the old Taoist priest shook his head slightly, but still stretched out his hand.
The magpie flapped its wings and flew to his hand dully, then it seemed to have lost its breath and collapsed directly, turning into a paper bird.
A closer look revealed that it was a paper bird folded from a piece of yellow talisman paper.
"It's really shameful to learn from others to turn talisman paper into a beast without good craftsmanship." The old Taoist priest said, and opened the paper bird.
After opening it, there was actually a letter written inside.
The old Taoist priest began to read, but as he read, his expression suddenly became solemn.
There are still a few Yangshen Zhenren among the thousands of Taoist temples outside. It is said that they all received the secret teachings of Luofu Mountain and received the grace of others, so they are still here.
This letter was sent by these real Yangshen Zhenren, and it is estimated that all Taoist priests who have condensed Yinshen can receive it.
The letter said that someone had sneaked into Luofu Mountain just now. Originally, they thought they were just passing by, but now, they found that the three people were looting relics inside Luofu Mountain, and even the graves were not spared, and even the bones were taken away.
The letter reads:
"The layman is a virtuous man with talent and Taoism, and he is willing to hide in the mountains and forests without getting up, which shows his ambition. However, the layman should have seen what happened today."
"Luofu Mountain has been very kind to us in education. The great grace and grace have gradually spread to all directions. We have received Luofu's gift, so we should kneel down and deal with it, like offering a treasure. Now there are evil people, who are still arrogant and want to show off, and ugly people still have pigs in their hearts. They dare to dig up the ruins and disturb the peace. They should be punished. Choose one or two of the most vicious ones. Put the law to make it clear, so that the cunning will be scared and disperse in the future."
"If there is no action this time, I think there will be a huge flood in the future. You must know that a river starts from a trickle, and a spark can start a blaze. The original intensity of the evil started from the smallest details, so we must stop it early. I have heard from the Taoist temples that the situation is raging. If we do not express our opinions, there will be endless troubles in the future. Many people will follow suit. Then we will feel ashamed of the kindness of the immortal master in Luofu Mountain. How can you and I practice his teachings? "
"We are barbarians and villagers. We should be crushed to pieces and have no way to repay the kindness of Luofu Mountain's teachings. Now we have encountered this incident. How can we care about other things? "
"I hope the laymen will join the group. As the saying goes, people build banks to resist violent currents. You and I should take responsibility for this matter. Don't refuse. If you are interested, just draw a circle and send a paper back. "
The meaning of the letter is very simple.
These Yangshen Zhenren also noticed that someone was digging up the graves in Luofu Mountain, and even dug out the bones of people. All kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual veins and spiritual springs were not spared. They were purely scraped three feet from the ground, leaving nothing behind.
So this behavior is too arrogant, it is simply "the mad and rebellious still want to be arrogant, and the ugly still have the ugliness of pigs". We all received the kindness of Luofu Mountain, so we should join hands to drive these thieves out. If necessary, we can kill one or two of them. This will scare some people and deter some cunning villains in our internal circles.
If we don't do this, it means that everyone can ignore it. What if people from outside continue to come in the future, and even the Taoist temples in our internal circles also have this idea, and run in to dig graves every day?
That will really cause endless troubles, and many people will follow suit. Once this is opened, it will be endless. We all received the kindness of Luofu Mountain, how can we sit back and watch this happen? As the saying goes, people build banks to resist violent currents. We must stop this matter. If you agree, just draw a circle on the paper and send it back.
After reading the letter, the old Taoist priest was silent for a while.
Those people who passed by earlier were able to run rampant in the heart of Luofu Mountain where ghosts were rampant. I think their cultivation would not be too low, probably at the level of Yangshen Zhenren.
To be honest, he didn't want to go. Now he had enough foundation, and he only needed to work hard. After a few decades, Yangshen Chunyang would be a natural thing. There was no need to take risks. Moreover, his apprentice had just started. Was it really good to take risks?
But the letter clearly said: "We, the savages and the villagers, humbly remember the kindness of Luofu Mountain in preaching. We should have been crushed to pieces and had no way to repay it. Now that this happened, how could we care about other things?"
This was actually quite good.
After thinking it over again and again, the old Taoist priest suddenly stood up and said to the young Taoist priest who was practicing: "Please suspend your practice for a few days to avoid mistakes. You are still in the stage of laying the foundation. It is difficult to make up for the problems. There will be more things to do at that time."
The young Taoist priest was surprised: "Not practicing? What should I do?"
"Go find a place to play by yourself. Your master and I will go on a long journey and come back in a few days." The old Taoist priest waved his hand impatiently and said to his apprentice.
As he said that, he took out the red pen used to draw talismans, drew a circle on the paper, and then folded it into a paper bird. A breath of fresh air came out of his chest and abdomen. The magic was running, and he touched the paper. He saw that the paper bird turned into a yellow warbler, vivid and graceful, just like the real one, and it would chirp. It was many times stronger than the dull magpie just now.
The old Taoist priest's move made the apprentice's eyes go straight.
Is this the real immortal magic?
Wow! So amazing!
"Master, when can I learn this trick? After I get used to sitting in meditation?" the young Taoist asked hurriedly.
"You are too ambitious. You should first learn not to fall asleep when sitting in meditation!" The old Taoist whisked the young Taoist and made him jump out, and ran out of the door in a hurry.
After seeing his apprentice leave, the old Taoist sighed and threw the yellow warbler into the sky.
I hope nothing will happen.

In Luofu Mountain, Li Qi is digging for spiritual veins.
Spiritual veins are a special resource, which are regional characteristics produced after a certain type of gas is enriched.
Just like the mass graves in ancient battlefields, if the yin energy is too heavy and too rich, it is easy to produce yin spiritual veins, which means that there is a large amount of yin energy gathered here. For practitioners who need yin energy, it is more convenient to come here to collect these gases.
The appearance of spiritual veins means that there are certain gases of high purity and high quality in this place, which can be easily collected. For low-grade practitioners, especially the ninth grade, which needs gas to consolidate the foundation, it is particularly useful, which can greatly shorten their practice time.
After all, you don’t have to refine the gas yourself, but use the ready-made one directly, which saves a lot of time.
However, Li Qi is now a sixth grade, and spiritual veins are basically useless to him. Now collecting spiritual veins is mainly for income.
Li Qi waved his hand, and directly collected all the gas in these spiritual veins at once, condensed them into gas beads, and then put them into the mustard bag.
After draining the air, Li Qi stepped on the ground and left a mark.
He had just collected the wood spirit vein, which was stimulated by the high concentration of wood energy to produce many spiritual herbs, including a seventh-grade Luofu bamboo.
This is a kind of bamboo that is unique to Luofu Mountain. It is as tall as a towering sky and has 39 sections. It is said that one section is a boat. It has a wide range of uses. People in Luofu Mountain like to use this bamboo to make steamers.
This kind of steamed food should make many of the remaining disciples in Luofu Mountain feel nostalgic.
After marking it, Li Qi rushed to the next location without stopping.
His workload was very small, because he had already ordered the mountain spirits and water monsters here to do things. Only those that the mountain spirits and water monsters could not handle, such as spirit veins and some dangerous places, were marked for him, and he would deal with them personally.
Three or four hours had passed since the initial separation. I think in another day, everything in Luofu Mountain except the central area should be searched.
As for the central area, we will go in after finishing these, because Li Qi's sixth sense feels that the central area may be quite dangerous, so it is better to be careful.
While doing things, Li Qi suddenly looked into the distance, which was the direction of Lao Ma.
What? A fight?
Thank you for the blessings, brothers. I feel refreshed after a day of rest.
