Chapter 169 Blessed Land Sect
Shen Yuan had no idea what was happening in the imperial capital.
In other words, even if Shen Yuan knew that someone called him the God of Disaster, he would most likely just frown and not pay too much attention.
At this time, everyone had driven to a port in Yunzhou, where there was a cruise ship that went directly to Qingping County, Cangzhou.
Walking on the port pier, Gong Buyu, with Bai Xue in his arms, has a beautiful appearance and a cold temperament, and his silver hair constantly attracts the attention of those around him.
As for Shen Yuan, who was wearing white clothes and carrying a sword, not many people paid attention.
The influence of the spiritual energy tide has already penetrated into the entire Great Xia. The number of practitioners is rare, but those who want to be like a carp crossing the river.
In this case, any clothing related to practitioners is the target of imitation. There are countless young people wearing long robes with swords at their waists on the entire pier. There are also many ordinary people wearing Taoist robes and monks who are talking loudly about spiritual practice. method.
Gong Buyu looked indifferent and ignored the gazes around him.
Xue Mingzhi had already booked the largest cruise ship to Cangzhou in advance and was walking ahead to guide Shen Yuan and the others.
The crowd around him became more and more dense, and Gong Buyu finally couldn't help but frowned slightly and said:
"Why come to this dock instead of flying directly there?"
As soon as Gong Buyu spoke, a young man on the side who was also preparing to board the ship smiled and said:
"What this lady doesn't know is that as the spiritual energy tide gradually returns, a large number of monsters begin to appear in the sky, which has a huge impact on flight travel.
If it were just like this, it would be fine. The Daxia Air Force regularly clears the routes and can still ensure that the planes can take off normally. But the problem is that in the past two months, some strange strong winds have begun to appear at high altitudes.
The plane made of metal was as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of the strong wind. Several planes suffered air crashes due to the strong wind. Since then, no one dared to take the risk of taking a plane, but chose transportation on the road or in the water. "
"But on land, there are also situations where the mountains change due to the spiritual energy tide. The changes in the mountains destroyed large areas of railways, and it is also very difficult to take the high-speed rail.
There are many waters in Cangzhou and many bridges and railways have been damaged. Taking a cruise ship is the most suitable choice. "
The young man's talk made Shen Yuan glance at him subconsciously.
This young man looked to be in his early twenties, with a delicate face and a green gown. The gown was simple on the outside but seemed to have spiritual lines flowing inside. It should be a high-quality robe.
It's just that the robe has not been properly preserved, and many of the spiritual power lines have been disconnected. I don't know how much power the robe still has.
At the same time, Shen Yuan also noticed that this young man's cultivation had reached the early stage of Qi Transformation Realm. Behind him, there was a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and was also at the peak of Qi Refinement. This level of cultivation was already quite impressive. .
However, the young man's patient explanation did not receive any response from Gong Buyu, who did not even look at him.
Because what Gong Buyu said about flying there was not taking a plane, but flying there in a literal sense.
If a great monk in the qi training realm does not hesitate to expend his magic power, it is not difficult to fly thousands of miles across the sky to Cangzhou, but Xue Mingzhi is obviously not one of them.
Xue Mingzhi, who was walking at the front, looked slightly stiff, and his heart suddenly became agitated.
He was extremely afraid of Gong Buyu, because the power of the peak Qi training realm left such a deep impression on him that he didn't know how to answer this aunt's words.
“It’s great to travel thousands of miles and see more of the world.”
Shen Yuan's plain words sounded, and Gong Buyu nodded lightly and said nothing.
The three of them boarded the cruise ship, and the young man who had been chatting had an embarrassed look on his face.
The pretty girl in pink dress behind the young man flicked her ponytail and curled her lips in disdain, and said angrily:
"I have already told you that that sister looks very cold, and she is not the type that you can control, Senior Brother Xuankong. But you still took the initiative to get in touch with her. Are you feeling deflated now?"
Xuan Kong scratched his head helplessly: "I just saw her extraordinary bearing and wanted to make friends with her. She is not as complicated as you think Xuan Le."
Xuan Le still looked unbelieving and pushed Xuan Kong onto the cruise ship.
He handed the ticket to the ticket inspector. The person holding the machine scanned the QR code on the ticket, took a look at it and said casually: "Third class, seats 26 and 27."
Xuan Kong's eyes suddenly widened, he waved the note in his hand and said:
"What third class? We obviously bought first class, right?"
The ticket inspector looked displeased and didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said:
"The IDs you used to buy tickets are not yours, right?
This bill was not issued by our shipping company. The bill says it is for first class, but the information on the report says it is for third class. It is probably because you bought the ticket from scalpers and were deceived.
There is only one boat left to Cangzhou today. You can either get off the boat to find scalpers, or you can go to the third class cabin yourself. "
After saying that, the ticket inspector ignored the two people and reached out to take the tickets from the following passengers.
"Bit! Second class."
Xuan Le was about to argue with the ticket inspector, but the next moment he was directly grabbed by Xuan Kong and walked to the third class cabin below the cruise ship.
"Xuankong, why are you dragging me along? This is obviously a collusion between scalpers and them.
The price difference between first class and third class is more than ten times, how could you let him go like this? "
Xuan Le's face was full of eagerness, but Xuan Kong shook his head helplessly and said:
“The purpose of our trip is just to go to Qingping County in Cangzhou, everything else is just a detail.
Wanling Sect has already arranged manpower to chase and intercept us. If we really make trouble here, it will be easily noticed by the people of Wanling Sect.
The third class cabin is the third class cabin. At least it is easy to avoid being tracked by Wanling Sect members because of the mixture of fish and dragons. Anyway, the flight time is not long and we can reach Qingping County tomorrow. "
Xuan Kong's comfort finally allowed Xuan Le to recover slightly from his anger.
The two walked together towards the lowest level of the cruise ship, which was the most crowded and shabby.
Looking at the shabby environment around him, Xuan Le recalled the first-class summons that had been hacked by scalpers. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his fist at Xuan Kong fiercely and said:
"Xuankong, when we get back Xuanmingguan's property, we must teach the scalper and his accomplices a lesson!"
Xuankong smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, my Miss Xuanle."
Xuan Le sniffed and whispered:
"You don't have to listen to me in everything. As long as you can defeat Wanling Sect in this Tao Discussion Conference and take back my Xuanmingguan property, I will be satisfied."
There was some hope in Xuan Le's eyes.
Xuankong and Xuanle were both born in Xuanming Temple, and were raised as direct disciples by the temple master from an early age.
Xuanming Temple is located on Xuanming Mountain in Yunzhou. Due to the remote location and sparsely populated area, there are very few incense. Even the owner of Xuanming Temple cannot explain why Xuanming Temple was built here and how long it has a history.
More than half a year ago, the spiritual energy tide returned. An ancient book that had been dusty for many years in the Xuanming Temple's Patriarch Hall showed its spiritual light. Only then did the master of Xuanming Temple know from the ancient book that Xuanming Temple is the orthodox Cave Heaven Blessed Land Tradition, backed by Chang Zaishan, one of the seventy-two blessed lands. .
Because three thousand years was too long, Xuanmingguan's Taoist tradition was cut off several times, and even future generations never knew the origin of Xuanmingguan.
With the return of the spiritual energy tide, the many treasured classics, incomplete robes, and spiritual treasures in Xuanming Temple began to show extraordinary power, and everyone in the Xuanming Temple also successfully entered the realm of cultivation with the help of Taoist classics.
According to the ancient books, after the spiritual energy tide returns, growing up in the blessed land of Shanshan should begin to establish a connection with Xuanming Temple, but Xuanming Temple has never waited for news from the blessed land.
It was not until a monk who claimed to be the Wanling Gate forcibly established a sect on the mountain where Xuanming Temple was located and forcibly expelled Xuanming Temple that the Xuanming audience learned from the Wanling Gate that Chang Zaishan's blessed land had collapsed during the period of spiritual energy exhaustion.
Even the blessed land of Tianzhu Mountain behind Wanling Gate collapsed hundreds of years ago.
However, there is a true king who lives in the blessed land of Tianzhu Mountain. Before the blessed land collapsed, he was lucky enough to pass some of the treasured classics and treasures to the Wanling Sect, so that the Wanling Sect could know the hidden secrets.
And sects like Xuanmingguan and Wanlingmen are not isolated cases. There are even cases where the cave sky collapsed during the period of spiritual energy exhaustion, and the sect's inheritance was completely destroyed.
In the precious classics passed down from the blessed land of Tianzhu Mountain, it is recorded that the Xuanming Mountain where Xuanming Temple is located can produce a precious third-level mineral vein.
After Wanlingmen determined that Xuanming Temple had lost contact with the blessed land, they decisively took over Xuanming Mountain.
Wanlingmen and Xuanmingguan are about equal in strength, but with the support of the Yunzhou family behind Wanlingmen, Xuanmingguan has no ability to resist.
Only Xuan Kong, who was in the early stage of transformation, escaped with Xuan Le. After hearing that the Qin Tian Supervisor Taoist Conference could uphold justice for Xuan Ming Temple, he resolutely used all the money he had to buy two tickets to Qingping County.
In order to prevent being found by Wanling Sect members, he also deliberately used scalpers to buy anonymously, but he never expected that he would be tricked.
Although he felt a little disappointed in his heart, Xuankong was still full of confidence in this Dao Discussion Conference.
There is only one person in the Wanling Sect who is in the early stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, and Xuan Kong has a chance to win in the ring.
All the passengers boarded the ship, and the cruise ship slowly sailed into the tributary of Jishui River.
The huge cruise ship broke through the river and moved slowly.
Xuankong was sitting cross-legged in the lower cabin. Although the concentration of the worldly aura in the ship was extremely low, Xuankong still didn't want to give up any opportunity to practice.
Beside him, Xuan Le had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the cabin was silent.
However, the silence did not last long. Along with a violent collision, the entire tanker began to shake violently.
Xuan Kong and Xuan Le in the cabin were immediately awakened. They stood up to check and saw a huge river patrol yaksha several meters high standing on the waves in front of the cruise ship, staring at the cruise ship menacingly.
"Listen, all the people, hand over 30% of your belongings, and offer ten boys and girls to me as a tooth-beating sacrifice. I will be able to ensure that you cross the Jishui River safely."
"If not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge steel fork in Xunhe Yasha's hand crashed into the water, and waves immediately surged above the water.
The River Patrolling Yaksha is blessed by the power of the river, and his huge body contains the power of the waves. Just showing up gives people an invisible feeling of oppression.
The state of Xunhe Yaksha is only in the early stage of Qi transformation, but he can use the power of the river, and the sense of oppression brought by it is definitely not as simple as that in the early stage of Qi transformation.
Xuan Le's face instantly turned pale.
Xuan Kong was suddenly startled, and then the magic robe on his body automatically moved without wind. A broken magic weapon flying sword fell into the palm of his sleeve, and he was about to get up and leave the cabin as the magic power around his body surged.
"Brother, don't go!"
Xuan Le grabbed Xuan Kong's sleeves in panic, his panic-filled voice full of uneasiness and fear.
Xuankong looked calm and said comfortingly:
"It's okay, it's just a yaksha."
Xuankong walked out of the cabin quickly. How had the many passengers on the ship seen such a scene? There were screams, cries, and curses in the cabin.
If there weren't a large number of aquatic animals in the waves around the ship, someone might have jumped out of the ship in a panic.
Facing the demon clan so close at hand, there was no difference between the nobles and commoners who used to be superior.
On both sides of the ship, there were even little aquatic monsters starting to climb onto the cruise ship.
Xuan Kong's heart suddenly jumped, and he used the flying technique to rise into the sky. The flying sword in his palm pointed directly at the river patrolling Yaksha in front of him and said sternly:
"What kind of evildoer dares to cause trouble in our human territory?"
The huge river patrolling Yaksha's scarlet eyes looked up and down at Xuan Kong, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said with a bit of surprise:
"Human immortal cultivator?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xunhe Yaksha grabbed Xuan Kong with his huge palm.
"Asshole!"
Xuan Kong kneaded the magic formula with his hand, and the spiritual power lines on the robe were activated. Several huge fireballs in the void fell towards Xunhe Yaksha.
"Fireball spell?"
The river patrolling Yaksha smiled disdainfully, and the huge wave of waves surging beneath him directly engulfed the fireball. The explosion of the fireball could not even break the surging waves, and the huge palm covered with scales had already arrived in front of Xuan Kong.
However, he never noticed that the broken magical flying sword in Xuan Kong's hand had long since disappeared.
"cut!"
The crisp sound of sword chants rang out from the waves. The incomplete flying sword was wrapped in the Zongheng sword energy and hidden in the surging waves. It followed the surging waves and slashed at the patrolling Yaksha.
The huge palm covered with scales slapped Xuankong's body, directly smashing Xuankong into the deck, and the bones all over his body shattered and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
If the non-clothed aura still retains a certain amount of defense, that blow alone would be enough to crush his body.
Above the waves, Xunhe Yaksha looked blankly at the broken flying sword that had pierced his throat, and the ferocious light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"Boom!"
The huge body crashed into the river and was buried along with the surging waves.
The little aquatic monsters outside the cruise ship dispersed in a panic at the moment when the river patrolling Yasha died, and the wide river regained its calm.
Reluctantly standing up from the broken deck, Xuan Le hurriedly rushed forward to support Xuan Kong, tears about to flow out.
"I told you, don't be brave."
Xuankong secretly swallowed a mouthful of surging blood, then waved his hands with a smile and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's okay, I."
"It's okay? Who said it's okay?"
The uniformed captain hurriedly ran out of the cab, his clothes messy as if he had just gotten up.
Seeing Xuan Kong vomiting blood, the captain quickly asked:
"Where did that Yaksha patrolling the river just go?"
With a smile on his face, Xuan Kong cupped his hands towards the captain and said, "That Yaksha has been killed by me. It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao."
Xuan Le said in an urgent voice: "There is no need to say more words of thanks. Let the ship's doctor help see how my senior brother's injury is?"
However, the captain's expression was completely dull at this moment.
"Kill, kill?"
"It's over, it's completely over now!"
"Cangzhou Patrol River Yaksha must be the tax collector under the Sun family. All ships traveling on the Jishui River must hand over 10% of their goods to avoid disaster."
"If you kill the tax collector, all of us on the ship will not be able to escape!"
At this moment, the transfer suddenly looked towards the river bank and screamed towards the cab:
"Dock to the shore, dock to the shore immediately, and leave Jishui!"
"Leave? It's too late!"
