Chapter 676 Leaving Qinglong Temple
The most widely circulated version is that Hu Xiaobei was a tiger demon in Kaiyuan Prefecture, who hurt countless people and brought disaster to the world. He was taught a lesson by the passing immortal Songhe. The tiger demon held a grudge and came to Qinglong Mountain for revenge after he had cultivated successfully. The immortal Songhe was too old to defeat him, so he did not hesitate to exhaust his life to ask the immortals in the sky for help, and killed the tiger demon and eliminated the great harm for the world.
Qingyang carried the body of Taoist Songhe out of Qinglong Temple and walked around a small road to the back mountain. There was a pagoda forest here, which was the burial place of the monks of Qinglong Temple for generations. Taoist Songhe's last wish was to bury himself on a small hill opposite the pagoda forest, where he could see Qinglong Temple in front, old friends such as Master Kongji, and the road to the mountain.
Qingyang could only do as his master wished, and he also knew that his master did not want him to have any more trouble. When he leaves Jiuzhou this time, the things about Taoist Songhe will be completely sealed in Qingyang's deepest memory, and he will never think of it again. Maybe one day in the future, when he sets foot on Jiuzhou again, he may come to see him again?
After burying Taoist Songhe, Qingyang stayed in front of his tomb for three days. After three days, he stood up and returned to Qinglong Temple. After saying goodbye to Monk Xuanzhu, he set off again.
The master is dead, and Qingyang has nothing to worry about. He will leave Jiuzhou completely this time. Qingyang has even inquired about it. There is a Ziyan City at the easternmost end of Qingzhou in Jiuzhou. It is the only passage in and out of the outer sea in Jiuzhou. All monks need to pass through there to leave.
However, before going to Ziyan City, Qingyang will stop by Yinyang Sect to see Yu Mengmiao. After the master is gone, Yu Mengmiao is considered to be the closest person to him. He doesn't know when he will return to Jiuzhou in the future. He must say hello before leaving.
After leaving Qinglong Temple, Qingyang went straight to the direction of Yinyang Sect. Yinyang Sect is farther from Liangzhou than Qingfeng Temple, about 30,000 miles away. If it were other foundation-building cultivators, whether walking or driving a spiritual tool, it would take almost two months to reach the destination. Qingyang has the top-grade flying spiritual tool Yufeng Gourd, so he is not afraid of this distance.
The influence of the Blood Demon Sect is getting bigger and bigger, and the road is getting more and more uneasy, but this does not affect Qingyang much. Yufeng Gourd is very fast, and ordinary foundation-building cultivators can't catch up with him at all. Even Jindan cultivators are not much faster than Qingyang, and there are few Jindan cultivators in Jiuzhou Continent, so it is impossible for Qingyang to meet them when he goes out.
The only thing to pay attention to is rest at night. With Qingyang's strength in the foundation-building period, he can only fly continuously for four or five hours with Yufeng Gourd, and he must stop to rest for a while to restore his true essence and divine consciousness. This is the easiest time to be followed or attacked by other cultivators.
Qingyang was cautious along the way. Whether he was flying with the wind-controlling gourd or landing with his strength exhausted, he tried his best to avoid places with people so that no one could see any clues.
When camping outdoors at night, Qingyang would deliberately find a relatively hidden place, set up a temporary ban outside, and sometimes release a few alcoholic bees to be on guard outside.
If he encountered a town, Qingyang would also use the Breath-Retaining Technique to restrain his breath, pretending to be an ordinary person, blending in with mortals, and resting in a secular inn.
Driving a flying spiritual tool requires the consumption of both divine thoughts and true essence. No one can bear such an overloaded journey. Even if he has to rest and recover every night, the recovery speed still cannot keep up with the consumption speed. It is okay if the time is short, but the cultivator will feel tired after more than ten days or half a month.
So sometimes when he feels tired or is in the mood, Qingyang will also walk around the town to relax. If he encounters a beautiful scenery in the wild with wild flowers blooming on the hillside, Qingyang will also release the alcoholic bee colony to breathe and make some adjustments.
All in all, Qingyang's speed was not too fast. On average, he traveled more than a thousand miles a day, and it took him more than twenty days to travel more than 30,000 miles.
Qingyang had never been to Yinyang Sect, but he was very clear about the location of Yinyang Sect. Just like Qingfeng Palace, Yinyang Sect was also built in a continuous mountain range. It was an extremely rare treasure land and the best among the seven major immortal gates.
After entering the mountains, there were no traces of ordinary people on the road. Seeing that he was not far from the Yinyang Sect, Qingyang put away the Yufeng Gourd and rushed towards the direction of Yinyang Sect. After passing a mountain ridge, he suddenly heard a shouting sound from the dense forest on the side of the road. Qingyang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman fighting happily in the forest.
The man was a tall cultivator with a bit of evil spirit. He was at the fourth level of foundation building and was attacking the female cultivator in front of him. The female cultivator on the opposite side was only at the first level of foundation building. She could only defend herself and had no power to fight back. Judging from the way they were dressed, they seemed to be disciples of Yin Yang Sect. It was unknown why they were fighting here.
Because it was not far from the gate of Yin Yang Sect, Qingyang did not deliberately restrain his breath, so when he saw the two people in the forest, the two people also saw Qingyang.
Seeing an outsider appear, the female cultivator was naturally surprised. At this time, there was only good and no harm to her current situation. The male cultivator was on guard. Seeing that good things were about to happen, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway. Isn't it depressing?
However, he didn't feel depressed for long. When he saw that Qingyang was only at the first level of foundation building, he was relieved. His fourth level of foundation building was not for nothing. He could easily deal with three or five first-level foundation building cultivators like the opposite side.
It was just an internal fight between two Yin Yang Sect disciples. Who lives and who dies has nothing to do with me? Qingyang took a glance and prepared to leave. He had business to attend to on this trip. He did not want to be involved in the internal disputes of Yin Yang Sect, nor did he want to meddle in other people's business.
Qingyang did not want to interfere, but the female cultivator did not want to miss this opportunity. While the male cultivator was stunned, she suddenly rushed towards Qingyang and shouted, "Junior Brother Qingyang, you are finally here. Come and help your sister."
Who are you? How dare you let me call you sister? Qingyang took a closer look and found that this female cultivator was Xiao Yuhan from Yin Yang Sect. Xiao Yuhan is said to be the last disciple of the deputy head of Yin Yang Sect. When Qingyang was in the trial of Chaos Demon Valley, he and this person had cooperated briefly.
However, Qingyang did not have a very good impression of Xiao Yuhan. This woman had a sharp personality. Although she was polite on the surface, she always teased him privately, which was annoying. Thinking of this, Qingyang didn't want to meddle in other people's business anymore. However, after being called by the other party, Qingyang knew that it might not be easy to leave, because the male cultivator would not let him go easily.
