Chapter 498: The Secret

This Zhang Zhenren, he actually practices... the Luofu Mountain's skills.

The other eight-rank Taoist monks all have the shadow of Luofu Mountain, but it's just a shadow. It should be from their ancestors, counting their masters and grandmasters, and they may have had the opportunity to learn something from Luofu Mountain and pass it down.

But this Zhang Xin practices the Luofu Mountain's skills thoroughly. If he didn't only have the skills but no magic, Li Qi would even think that this person is a Luofu Mountain disciple.

Listening to the conversation of these people, Li Qi also distinguished the identities of the four people.

The old Taoist priest, the one with the surname Wang, is the one with the best heart. He doesn't seem to be greedy, and he also intends to protect the water and soil of Luofu Mountain. However, it's not easy to say too much in front of the three people, which is easy to make enemies. He is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, so he used a clever trick to persuade the others.

Looking at his cultivation, it seems that he has just entered the eighth rank, but his foundation is solid. Although his Yang God has not reached the Pure Yang realm, Li Qi feels that he is probably the strongest one among those present.

Not necessarily. The Taoist Zhang practices the Luofu Mountain Kung Fu. Although he does not have any magic, he is definitely much stronger than the ordinary eighth rank.

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the Taoist Zhang, he is not the same as the other two. Instead, he agrees with the Taoist Wang and persuades the other two, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the measure of "protection".

As for the remaining two, they should be complete weeds, drowned by the world, falling into greed and confusion without knowing it, liking money and spiritual treasures, but not knowing why they like it, and developing power not for seeking the Tao, but only for showing off.

Well, there is nothing to say about these two, they are useless, so don't take them to heart.

Li Qi looked at their behavior here and made a decision in his heart. However, when he was about to show up, he saw that the Taoist Zhang, who was an eighth-rank Taoist, secretly pinched his fingers and made a little fine-tuning to the magic vehicle formed by thousands of people.

This slight adjustment caused the direction of the imperial carriage to deviate a little, and... it was deviated towards the center of Luofu Mountain.

"It has something to do with Luofu Mountain, absolutely." Li Qi canceled his plan to show up.

Now he was interested. This group of people actually hid a person related to Luofu Mountain, and they were also teasing others to head towards the center of Luofu Mountain?

So, the "echo" he did before was not essentially to protect this piece of land in Luofu Mountain, but to unite this group of people so that they would not have conflicts?

This Zhang, who was silent, wanted to instruct so many thousands of Taoists to go to the center of Luofu together?

What was his intention?

Was the weak resonance between this imperial carriage and the center of Luofu Mountain due to this person's relationship?

Li Qi had a plan in his mind, pulled the old horse, and withdrew from the imperial carriage. Everything seemed silent, and no one noticed.

He was integrated into nature, and he was originally a part of the world. Naturally, there would be no special features, just like a stone on the side of the road, which would not be noticed.

"Let's go, Lao Ma, let's go find Yu'er." Li Qi got on Lao Ma and said so.

"Ah? Why do you want to find my sister-in-law?" Lao Ma was puzzled.

"Let's go find her. She knows the details of Luofu Mountain much better than the two of us. We should let her handle the things here. Maybe she can dig out something." Li Qi said so.

Lao Ma nodded, indicating that he understood.

So one man and one dragon set off quickly, and in just a few minutes, they ran to Shen Shuibi.

Rabbit is always very absorbed in doing things and extremely focused. She is currently squatting in front of a sixth-grade calamus.

This spiritual herb is very famous, even Li Qi has heard of it, he has read about it in a book.

The Records states: "There was a man named Li Shaojun who went south to Luofu. When he came to this stream, he picked calamus with twelve sections and ate it. He passed away on July 25th. There is a stream in the east of Panyu. Calamus grows in the stream. All of them are one inch and nine sections. There was also a man named Anqisheng who picked and ate it and passed away. He only left his jade shoes. There was another man named Han Zhong who took calamus for thirteen years. His body grew hair. He read a book of ten thousand words every day and recited them. He was not cold even in winter. There are also calamus growing on the stone. They are one inch and nine sections. The purple flowers are the best. They grow in ponds and marshes. The roots are twisted and have sections like a horse whip."

In addition to eating, this kind of thing can also be used for rituals. When there are festivals, disasters, or diseases, calamus and mugwort can be burned to drive away evil spirits and cure diseases. Hanging calamus and mugwort on doors and windows can also prevent ghosts from entering. It is a very useful spiritual herb.

However, it cannot be eaten like this. It is poisonous and it is easy to die if eaten.

But if it is well prepared by practitioners who are proficient in pharmacology and made into medicine, it will have miraculous effects. It is recorded in the book: "It can relax the mind, relieve the spirit, cheer up the mood, benefit the mind, cleanse the evil, then the nine orifices will be spiritual, and the internal organs will be replenished. It is not a warm and dry thing, but it can replenish the true yin of the five internal organs. It is said that calamus can open the heart orifices, and its refreshing and fragrant air can help people refresh their spirits, so it makes the ears and eyes smart and the nine orifices clear."

To be able to do this, it is actually refined into a magical medicine, using its power of improving eyesight and hearing, and opening the nine orifices to help people break through bottlenecks and shackles, and it has miraculous effects in breaking through grades.

For those who have been stuck in the bottleneck for a lifetime, and will die of old age if they don't break through, or those who have no hope of breaking through in this life, take a pill of this kind, try hard, and be poisoned to death, and it's best to break through.

Li Qi was waiting for the rabbit to carefully collect this sixth-grade calamus, and he couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time as sighing, doubts also arose in his heart

Luofu Mountain is indeed a rich place.

There are spiritual herbs all over the mountains, even the sixth-grade spiritual herbs can grow. Generally speaking, this kind of spiritual herbs has a great possibility of turning into the spirit of plants and trees, and then suddenly awaken the spiritual wisdom one day and become a monster.

But in Luofu Mountain, it seems that the environment is too good and the spiritual herbs grow too fast, so the spiritual herbs that Li Qi saw did not show any signs of becoming spirits, but they continued to rise in grade.

In addition to these spiritual herbs, there are other fragrant herbs and trees, each of which has its own spirituality. Various flower fragrances, medicinal fragrances, and tree fragrances are all over the mountain. Luofu is a place of fragrance, and its trees are mostly fragrant and pungent.

All the dead branches are broken, and the outer skin is rotten, but the inside is very fragrant. The scales of various trees are called Xunluoxiang, as well as maple, osmanthus, chicken vine, and cypress. It is said: "Luofu is a fragrant mountain, and the fragrance keeps the mountain people busy. A boat goes to the fragrant stream to sell fragrance, and the fragrance is like dust filling the world."

It is really a well-deserved treasure land.

As expected of one of the ten great caves, this kind of place... When everyone in Luofu Mountain still existed, no one dared to covet it, but now that Luofu Mountain has fallen, there are only a few eighth-grade cultivators coming to clean it up?

Shouldn't there be several fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivators coming to occupy the mountain as kings?

There may not be any third-grade and fourth-grade cultivators, because they basically have their own foundations, and Luofu Mountain has only disappeared for less than ten years, which is almost the same as a flick of a finger for high-grade cultivators. Even if they want to occupy it, they will probably wait until the dust settles.

Before they took action, the people who really couldn't wait to occupy it were those bold fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivators.

But now, let alone fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivators, there is not even a seventh-grade cultivator. Only a bunch of weeds who have never heard of the name of Luofu Mountain rushed over. This is really strange.

Li Qi pondered in his heart, deduced the situation, and just stood there waiting for a while.

A few minutes later, Shen Shuibi finally collected all the spiritual herbs, intact, and the efficacy was retained 100%.

This is not an easy job. If you want to pick the spiritual herbs and keep their medicinal properties, you need to practice for a long time. Most pharmacists are already very powerful if they can keep 90% of them.

However, after all, it is the direct descendant of Luofu Mountain. It is natural that it is more powerful than very powerful.

"What's wrong? Didn't we divide the work? Why did you come to me again? Did you feel itchy after just a while?" Shen Shuibi put away the spiritual herbs and walked to Li Qi with a smile.

"Of course not, even if you feel itchy, you will wait until you get home. I found some of the practitioners before outside. They came here under the banner of expelling thieves." Li Qi smiled, and then began to tell Shen Shuibi what he had just learned.

From the specific situation of the matter, to what happened after Lao Ma was beaten, to the conversations he overheard nearby, he told Shen Shuibi everything in detail.

However, Li Qi did not say his subjective guesses. Those things would only affect Shen Shuibi's judgment. It would be better to tell her everything directly, and she would have her own judgment.

After hearing these words, Shen Shuibi fell into deep thought.

Some people still do things under the banner of Luofu Mountain. She didn't feel anything about this. After all, Luofu Mountain is indeed famous. Although it is now in decline, there are still some heritages here, but before... no one came to take them.

In addition to being busy, the greater possibility is probably "fear".

The moment the Human Emperor Sword fell, the former homeland completely turned into a dead place. Most people probably don't want to see this scene. Every time they come back, they will feel a kind of fear.

The fear of witnessing the blade of the Human Emperor Sword is almost uncontrollable...

However, it feels much better now, probably because seeing Li Qi who was indifferent gave her a feeling: "Li Qi is fine."

Li Qi is fine, which means... that incident is indeed over.

However, in addition to using, what really touched her was that there were still people who really wanted to "repay" Luofu Mountain and were still trying to leave a little thing for Luofu Mountain.

This even touched Shen Shuibi a little.

As for Zhang Xin, he has a resonance with the interior of Luofu Mountain... maybe I need to go and see it myself.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuibi put down the work in her hands and said, "Why not go and see it yourself? Things outside will not be lost if they are placed here, but the center of Luofu Mountain... I think it is still quite dangerous. If there is really a resonance, there may be other gains."

"That's right, then we will watch from the side and see what these people are going to do." Li Qi nodded and agreed to Shen Shuibi's proposal directly.

After all, it is Luofu Mountain, her things, she can make her own decision.

Since it has been finalized, the two people and the dragon quickly came to the outside of the Dharma Carriage, hiding their bodies and watching these people perform.

To be honest, this kind of peeping... feels quite strange.

This made Li Qi suddenly have a feeling.

Are those 'heaven's will' also looking at them like this?

Li Qi only has a pair of eyes and can only see the performance of a team of Dharma Carriages. How many eyes does 'heaven's will' have?

However, if he brings it in like this, Li Qi seems to think that heaven's will is not so scary.

For Li Qi, the truly terrifying thing about God’s will is that you never know when the things around you will become ‘arrangements’, and these ‘arrangements’ are not deliberate.

Everything is a coincidence, but this coincidence happens to lead to the ending that "God's will" hopes for. All decisions are made by Li Qi and others, and they are what they hope for.

But everyone acts for their own purposes, just like Li Qi is trying to get out of Luofu Mountain, the prince of demons is looking for opponents to build a foundation for himself, the demon clone is trying to be independent, Ao Guangxiao is trying to find the body of his nephew, Canghou and Lidao treasure ship are trying to find the body of the real dragon, and Mo Luoyan and others should also have their own purposes, but Li Qi doesn't know.

Everyone has their own plans, but all these plans, when gathered together, become "God's will".

This kind of thing is what Li Qi fears the most. Being able to do this kind of thing is like everything in the world is under control, and everyone and everything can only be completed with the permission of "God's will".

So, after Li Qi brought himself into the current perspective of watching, he found that... "God's will" seems to have no need to control everyone.

If these people have nothing to do with Luofu Mountain, then I don't bother to look at them.

In other words, I am not as important as I thought. If I keep a low profile, do things carefully, and act like a coward, then maybe I can get peace.

Then... this time when I return to Wushen Mountain, maybe I can really practice well, and I don't need to rush so much.

This promotion to the sixth rank can be said to be completely unplanned. The sequelae of such a promotion are simply outrageous. Although I have reached the sixth rank, I will have to spend thousands of times more time in the future to make up for today's speed.

Even so, this will become a huge barrier that lies across Li Qi's third-rank path, and he may not be able to get over it in this life.

However, there is no way, otherwise he will die.

Thinking of this, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi also looked down at the same time.

The Dharma carriage below continued to move forward, and the direction became more and more correct. In a few hours, it is estimated that it will enter the center of Luofu Mountain.

The center of Luofu Mountain is the main body of the two mountains, Luoshan and Fushan, not the mountains that stretch out around it.

However, Fushan is suspended in the air, so Luofu Mountain also has a real center, which is the contact point in the middle where the peaks of the two mountains face each other.

That is Zhuming Cave, the anode of Luofu Mountain, corresponding to the cathode ghost gate.

"That Zhang Xin, his skills are in response to Zhuming Cave, and there are arrangements inside." At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly said.
