Chapter 184: The Sins of the Heart Department
The writing on the scroll was too blurry, as if it had been soaked in water, leaving only faint traces of ink. Mu Xingqiu observed it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He just confirmed that this was definitely different from the magic words left by Yi Shijun before. At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and he hurriedly put away the scroll.
Yang Qingyin stood at the door, "You're not practicing boxing?"
"I haven't started practicing yet."
"Then come out for a walk with me."
"Hmm?"
"Hey, don't use that tone, as if I'm trying to trick you. I just met a very interesting Taoist from Qishan. He wants to meet the only successor of the Mind-Reading Department of the Nine Dao Sects."
"But..."
"Taoists from Qishan are so rare. Apart from the wooden Taoists next to the Qishan Instant Platform, how many Taoists from Qishan can you meet? Especially those who are willing to talk."
It is indeed very rare. Taoists from Zhaoshan are known as "hermits", but you can occasionally run into one or two. It is extremely difficult to see Taoists from Qishan, which is very busy.
The name of this Taoist priest from Qishan is Yang Qingyuan. Although the middle characters are different, he sounds like a person of the same generation as Yang Qingyin. When they first met, they did discuss the generation. After going up three generations, Yang Qingyin immediately ended the game. She didn't want to be several generations younger than the other person.
When Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin arrived at the beach, Yang Qingyuan and Fangfang were sitting on a fallen log and talking happily. The bald man stood between them alertly, looking back from time to time. When he saw Xiaoqiu's figure, he immediately cheered loudly, as if relieved.
The sunset had completely fallen below the sea, leaving only a hint of deep red, like half-burned charcoal. The beach was flat, the waves were lazy, and there were several logs placed horizontally in the distance, staggered for rest.
The night in Zhaoshan was not very dark. When Yang Qingyuan, a disciple of Qishan, heard the cheers from the head, he immediately stood up and politely gave the newcomer the etiquette of Taoism.
This is a handsome young man, with the usual calmness and shyness of a well-read person on his face, as if he is still a little uncomfortable with this gathering.
He came to Qishan to refine the Jade Ruyi, and arrived a little later than the disciples of Pangshan. He missed the best time for jade making in the Shuyu Department, so he had to wait until tomorrow. When walking on the beach to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhaoshan, he met Qin Lingshuang and Yang Qingyin, disciples of Pangshan.
The few people greeted each other again. Even the bald man tried to make the posture of the Taoist etiquette with two strands of hair, leaving only one strand of hair for support, which inevitably swayed.
Yang Qingyuan is a disciple of the Forbidden Secret Department of Qishan,
so he has a lot of common topics with Fangfang. After Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu joined, it became a casual chat. The disciples of Qishan were not cold at all, and soon became familiar with the disciples of Pangshan, citing scriptures. Quite talkative.
It turned out that most of the disciples of Qishan lived on the five easternmost islands, and the rules were extremely strict. Any disciple who went to other islands without permission would be expelled once the elixir was taken away. "Qishan has a complex population, with Taoists and demons living together. In order not to affect the disciples' practice, such strict rules are formulated."
"But why does Qishan protect demons? Does it have to do business with them?" Yang Qingyin asked. Although she is a Taoist daughter, she has never figured out this truth.
"There is no way. Although the Taoist sect and the demon tribe are enemies, they still need to exchange what they have. The land of demons is vast and filled with a lot of unclean air left by the ancient demons. It is very troublesome for Taoists to go deep into it, but the demon tribe can travel unimpeded. Without them, the nine Taoist sects' Honglu, Shengong, Shuyu, and Dengzhu departments may be difficult to continue."
"Why is the market arranged in Qishan? It is the farthest from the land of demons." Mu Xingqiu asked.
"This will cut off the connection between the demons and the demon land, and they can only come over the ocean little by little. In fact, the demons have a greater demand for the Daotong and the Holy Talisman Dynasty. As for the southern sea monsters, most of them are beast monsters with low intelligence, so they are not to be feared."
"We still have to go to Luanjing Mountain to participate in the war. The sea monsters are still quite powerful, like the World-Destroying Black Tortoise and the Iron-Backed Dragon." Yang Qingyin didn't want the enemies she was about to face to be "not to be feared".
"Well, the sea monsters this time are a little different. It is said that a large number of northern monsters participated and actually persuaded the strange beasts like the World-Destroying Black Tortoise, but they will not succeed. Didn't the Iron-Backed Dragon clan betray the demons? The Dragon King Yin Shengqian went to Qishan in person and said that the Iron Dragon clan was being excluded. He also promised that as long as the Daotong could show leniency, many sea monster tribes would withdraw from the war.
Mu Xingqiu and Fangfang looked at each other and said, "We once saw a group of dragons on the sea. They seemed to be Yin Shengqian's people. They looked... quite happy, and didn't seem to be hiding from the demons at all. "
Yang Qingyuan was only a Taoist priest at the Breathing Realm, and didn't know much about the overall situation. He hummed for a long time, "Even if Yin Shengqian had a conspiracy, he couldn't hide it from the Taoist sect. Maybe the high-level Taoist priests pretended to agree, but they had already made preparations in secret."
Nine masters gathered at Luanjing Mountain. Several low-level Taoist priests really didn't need to care too much about the movements of the monsters. Yang Qingyin just hoped to refine the main magic weapon quickly so that she could participate in the upcoming war.
The topic quickly turned to Yashan's bad luck, and Yang Qingyuan couldn't help laughing, "The disciples of the Taoist sect are still lucky. They were released after the test, but those casual cultivators and monsters are not so lucky. Even if the spiritual power of the sword washing pool on their clothes has been sucked out, they can't leave the market. It is said that Yashan is worried that Du Fangfeng will use special means to transfer part of the spiritual power to someone. It can't be detected now, but it will take effect in the future. "
Mu Xingqiu quietly pressed the treasure bag on his waist, feeling vaguely uneasy, hoping to finish the journey of refining the magic weapon as soon as possible. No matter what, he had to return to Pangshan and tell Lin Sa about the blood drop.
The two Forbidden Secrets disciples looked at each other. They knew more about these things. Finally, Yang Qingyuan spoke, "Yashan Sword Washing Pool is not simple. It is a treasure left by the first three ancestors. Even if only a drop of spiritual power leaks out, , will also damage the whole and reduce the effect. There is actually another reason why Yashan has not allowed outsiders to approach the sword-washing pool for these years. I thought the matter was finally over, but I didn't expect Du Fangfeng to make such a move. "
Mu Xingqiu became more and more uneasy. He knew very well how much the Taoist priests valued the treasure of Zhenshan. However, when he thought of all the rude behaviors of Yashan Taoist priests, he decided to let Taoist priest Lao Zufeng step forward to resolve the matter. Even in the end To return that drop of blood, he didn't want to step forward himself.
"Can only a drop of blood...a drop of spiritual power wash a magical weapon?" Mu Xingqiu casually touched the bald man's head. His question was still on my mind.
"This... I don't know much about it." Yang Qingyuan said embarrassedly, suddenly leaning over and asking in a low voice: "Have you been to the Xingshan Demon-Batting Cave?"
Several people nodded, and Mu Xingqiu asked, "Has Xingshan found out the cause of the vibration?"
Yang Qingyuan happened to arrive an hour later than the Pangshan disciples, and saw and heard more. "It was found out that several prisoners tried to break out of the Demon Drawing Cave, but naturally they failed miserably." Yang Qingyuan stared at Mu Xingqiu, " I heard that these prisoners seem to be related to the Department of Cardiology.”
Yang Qingyin suddenly realized, "It turns out that the successors of Nianxin Ke were imprisoned in the Demon-Batting Cave. Once their fellow disciples left, they thought they could be saved... Mu Xingqiu, didn't you feel the voice of your seniors? You were in the Patriarch's Tower once upon a time. The best at this.”
Yang Qingyuan's eyes flashed, showing more curiosity. Mu Xingqiu raised his head and pretended to think for a while, "No, if there is something special, the Xingshan Taoist priests probably won't let me go."
This sentence ends the discussion. Yang Qingyuan was slightly disappointed, "That's right. The successors of Nianxin - I'm not talking about fellow seekers, but those of the previous generation - deserve their punishment. If they escape, the world will be in chaos again."
"Do you know about the Nianxin Ke? Why were the previous generations of descendants imprisoned in the Demon Cave?" Mu Xingqiu has always been very curious about the Nianxin Ke, but Taoist Pangshan was unwilling to talk to him in detail. He only said that he would wait until he reached the Dinxia realm. Will understand.
Each Taoist tradition has different methods of cultivating disciples. Yang Qingyuan is also a Taoist priest of the Forbidden Secrets in the realm of inhalation, but he is allowed to have contact with a much wider field than Fangfang, and he actually has some understanding of the mind science. Therefore, he was quite proud of himself, and there was a sense of mystery in his voice.
"Nianxinke is obsessed with quick spells and boxing skills, and looks down on the slower but more powerful Five Elements spells. Originally, this is nothing. The eighteen Taoist subjects complement each other. But -" Yang Qingyuan looked at Mu Xing with a strange look. Qiu, "The successors of Nian Xin Ke abused their mortal and Taoist fate and harmed many Taoist priests. As a result, they were imprisoned in the Devil's Cave."
"Abusing mortal and Taoist fate?" Mu Xingqiu was shocked. He had always thought that Nian Xinke had done some treacherous crime, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.
"Under normal circumstances, Taoist priests will only experience mortal and Taoist fate once in their lives - some people don't even have one, and they don't need to go through the love tribulation - cutting it off will make their practice advance by leaps and bounds. The successors of Nian Xin Ke took advantage of this, Frequently forming relationships and breaking off relationships frequently in order to achieve the goal of quickly increasing their strength. Although it is against the rules, it is okay, but they only care about their own practice, regardless of whether the other party has reached the moment of breaking off the relationship. As a result, it has delayed the practice of many Taoist priests, some of whom It was originally quite powerful, but it stopped moving forward because of this.”
Yang Qingyin and Bald Zi laughed at the same time, and looked at Mu Xingqiu differently. Fangfang pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that it was interesting. Only Mu Xingqiu felt annoyed, and finally understood why Lin Sa always stopped talking, "I would never do that."
"Of course." Yang Qingyuan said in a casual tone, "There is a tradition of one subject, one subject. The Nianxin Department has been discontinued for many years, and the trend has also been broken. Friends who seek Daoism can choose to take the right path."
After saying that, Yang Qingyuan suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, it's time for evening cultivation. It's a great honor to meet several Taoist friends today. I hope we have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
"After you refine the magic weapon, you can go to Luanjing Mountain to kill demons together." Yang Qingyin enthusiastically extended the invitation.
Yang Qingyuan thought for a while, ww.a. com showed a smile, "It's okay, as a Taoist priest, you must have some experience in slaying demons, so that's it, see you at Luanjing Mountain."
Several people saluted and said goodbye, Yang Qingyuan specifically said to Fangfang: "As far as I know, there is also a senior fellow in the Forbidden Secret Department of Qishan who studies the art of breaking pills. Why don't we contact each other after we go back, or go to Pangshan, or come to Qishan , which brought the two fellow Taoists together. Alas, it’s a pity that fellow Taoist Lan came to Qishan and we didn’t know about it.”
Fangfang agreed and Yang Qingyuan said goodbye and left. Yang Qingyin was still laughing uncontrollably, and the bald man said loudly: "Brother Xiaoqiu, from now on, you should make more connections with others, both mortal and Taoist."
Mu Xingqiu paid no attention to anyone and thought to himself, this was the reason why the eleventh-level illusion of Nian Xin Ke was progressing rapidly, and he would never take this path.
A few people were preparing to go back to their rooms to rest when a group of Taoist priests came running from a distance. They were all vying for the first place, and they were all shouting Mu Xingqiu's name.
Yang Qingyin looked at it for a while and said in surprise: "Isn't that the Taoist priest from Yashan and Xingshan?"
Mu Xingqiu's heart sank.
