Chapter 438 Baili Float ([-])

In the simple and elegant cabin, Xu Daozheng sat cross-legged quietly, with a finger of incense stuck on a low table in front of him, which added a lot of elegant fragrance to the whole cabin.

Between inhaling and exhaling, there is quite a charm, making the smoke from the incense burner swirl like a horned dragon, circling around his body.

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door, Xu Dao's eyelids trembled, and his rhythmic breathing stopped abruptly. He still lowered his eyes, but opened his mouth and said, "Come in."

The sound of the chain sliding was heard, and a tall and straight woman with green lower body lowered her head and walked in respectfully from the door.

Yin Jianjian clasped her hands on her stomach, and was already very familiar with the maid's work. She lowered her body and said, "The Taoist priest in front of me has news that Haishi will arrive today and tomorrow. The nearby sea area has already become agitated."

"Oh!" Hearing these words, Xu Dao finally opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and extraordinary, and there was a look of expectation and anticipation in his eyes.

Xu Dao exhausted all his effort and walked down from the bamboo floor.

Yin Jianjian saw his movements, and immediately walked over again, took the clogs with a bow and half-kneeling, and waited for Xu Dao to put on the shoes with a nod of his head and lowered eyebrows.

Xu Dao put on the clogs enjoying himself, pointed to the half-burning incense candle in the incense burner next to him, and said: "This object really has the effect of calming the mind. The sea market is held, and Pindao has not practiced much recently. Yes, you took it for your own use."

The incense candle burning in the incense burner was traded with other nearby ships during the half a year he was waiting.

It stands to reason that Xu Dao couldn't afford such an expensive item, but just as other Taoist priests can hunt and kill ferocious beasts nearby, so can he.

It's just because he is alone, without the cooperation of others, and in order to hide his strength and keep a low profile, it is inconvenient for him to take too many shots.

But a few occasional shots have already earned him tens of thousands of blood money, which is equivalent to the salary of Taoist Ningsha for nearly a year on Yuren Island.

These talismans are not enough to be squandered in the sea market, so he didn't save much, but traded with the Taoist priests of the West Sea that he occasionally met nearby, and exchanged some things that would help improve his practice, so as not to waste half a year waiting time.

Not to mention, Xu Dao hadn't seen much of the objects in the West Sea when he was in Yuren Island. Now that there are people with good cultivation around him, and the level of goods in everyone's hands has improved, he is very surprised to see something strange. weird stuff.

The incense candles inserted during practice are one of them.

Although this incense candle can't create aura, nor can it release too much aura, it can actually make Taoists feel like they are in a high-class quiet room when they burn incense and practice, and the aura they exhale does not escape at all, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

When Xu Dao was in Wu Guozhong, even inside the Erhai Dao Palace, he had never seen such a miraculous incense candle.

Later, he realized that the spiritual energy in Xihai was thin, and the Taoist priests practiced too extreme methods, all of them were heretics, but the Taoist priests in Xihai cherished spiritual energy and used it more efficiently than Taoist priests in Wu.

For example, things like spells.

Spells are used by Taoists to consume their own aura, and they are cast on the spot whenever they need to be used. But in this way, compared with talismans, magic tools, puppets, etc., it completely consumes the aura of Taoists themselves.

And in a hurry, spells generally waste too much spiritual energy, which is far inferior to the prepared talismans, or martial arts cast through magic tools, or through the physical body.

Not to mention that in order to be able to cast spells instantly, a Taoist needs to practice a spell to the point of mastery, and plant the talisman in the body. This process is still unavoidable even in the realm of foundation establishment and above.

Therefore, the cultivators in Xihai have already discarded most of the spells, and what is left are only small spells that are quite useful in daily life, and secret techniques that cannot be passed on to the outside world.

Instead, all kinds of physical martial arts, foreign objects such as magical weapons, talismans and puppets are popular.

In short, today's Taoist priests in the West Sea either rely on the physical body to use spiritual energy, or use spiritual energy through external objects. In the general sense of magic, not many Taoist priests will practice and use it.

After Xu Dao realized this situation, the first thought in his mind was: "Heretics, the Taoists of Xihai are all heresies."

Because things like spells are not only related to the strength of fighting skills, but also related to practice.

Whether it is the way of immortality or martial arts, or the way of sword immortality, the first step of entering the Tao is to practice the magic of swallowing and puffing up moonlight, until it is cultivated into a talisman, which can be planted in one's own soul, body or utensils.

And no matter how advanced the cultivation method is, in essence, it is just a series of combined spells such as breathing out spiritual energy, tempering true energy, and forging soul and body.

This is why Xu Dao was able to forge his own practice formulas and create his own thoughts.

Its accumulation is profound. Although the concepts created are not necessarily so profound, they are still in line with his own current use, and he can absorb the essence from more advanced practice formulas at any time in the future, adding, deleting, supplementing and modifying.

And spells are things like comprehension of the principles of heaven and earth.Practicing spells is also climbing the immortal way.

It is like knowledge, even if it is a crooked spell, if you learn it, as long as you don't use it, it can still deepen the Taoist's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and help the accumulation of soul or body.

The Taoists in the West Sea have given up practicing all kinds of spells and instead rely on brute force or foreign objects to fight and fight with people. It is tantamount to falling into heresy, practicing purely for the sake of force.

Maybe you can't see anything at the beginning, and there will be no gap between Taoist priests and Taoist priests, but the further you go, the more obvious the gap will be.

Because in any case, whether it is a magic weapon, a puppet, or a charm, it is actually all made by Taoist priests who spent time sacrificing it.

Whenever the Taoist's strength improves, the foreign objects will not be improved at the same time, and must be sacrificed before the power of the foreign objects can match the level of the Taoist.

Just like this, Xu Dao has been smoldering for a long time, and the cuttlefish sword and banner in his hand have been standing still for a long time, and the banner has only recently been promoted to a foundation-building magic weapon.

It must be known that people have already worked hard to temper themselves, and it is difficult to add. If they want to make foreign objects have the same level and strength, it is tantamount to repeated work.

This is not as good as practicing spells from the beginning, engraving them in the soul or the body, the power of the spells will also be improved when the first-level realm is improved, the more convenient it is in the later stages.

And for heretics, when the state reaches a certain level, if there is no opportunity, it will be more difficult for them to improve the state of foreign objects than to improve themselves, so there will often be no external objects to use.

Unless from the very beginning, Taoists focus on improving a foreign object, and this is the practice concept of the sword fairy road.

After counting and counting, the various methods in the West Sea are not so heretical, and there is only Taoist soldiers.

To drive the Taoist soldiers, Taoists not only don't need to consume their own aura, but they can also use the magic power of the Taoist soldiers for their own use, and even let the Taoist soldiers stand on their backs on weekdays.

But in the face of such a situation, after Xu Dao thought about it carefully, he realized that the situation was not so simple.

It is impossible for the Taoist priests of the West Sea to be narrow-minded and not think about the future. It is only because of the situation that they have fallen into a situation where everyone is heresy.

Today's heaven and earth aura is rarer than ever before, Taoist people have reached the point of extracting souls to refine money, but they will use it to breathe out and refine aura and increase their cultivation, and they are not willing to waste it on fighting skills among.

As for the aura consumed to drive foreign objects, in addition to being prepared in advance, it can also use the aura that is dirty or even polluted by evil spirits.

In this way, the Taoist priests of Xihai can barely ensure the aura needed for their own practice.

Moreover, compared with the foreign things that heretics rely on, the orthodox spells of Xuanmen are good, but they are too much.

Many Taoists have wasted their lives because they coveted all kinds of powerful spells. On the contrary, they delayed their own Taoism, leading to the exhaustion of their lifespan, but they passed away without breaking through.

Therefore, the Taoist priests of Xihai chose to rely on foreign objects, not because they simply fell into the heresy, but may be divided into two. They focused on their own Dao behavior, and placed the second place on the means of protecting the Dao, and placed it on foreign objects.

This move is first and last, compared to blindly pursuing the authenticity of Taoism, it is more correct in Xihai where the aura is currently struggling.

From this, the prevalence of martial arts and rampant monsters in the West Sea can also be explained.

It's not because there are so many monsters, and there are so many foundation-building monsters, Taoist priests can only use the spiritual roots of monster blood, but because the tempered body is more able to tolerate inferior aura than the Yin god, and it is suitable for the environment where the aura is thin Fight.

Once the martial arts monks and immortal monks of the same realm fight, it is unknown who will win and who will lose, but the one that lasts the longest and recovers the fastest will often be the martial arts monk.

There is no other reason, the yin spirit is pure and precious, and the body is tough and strict.

After learning about the situation, Xu Dao not only communicated with Yin Jianjian beside him, he also ventured out and communicated with other Taoist priests chasing the sea around him.

In the end, as he had expected, the Taoist priests in Xihai were not shallow people, but rather judged the situation. It was only because of the pressure of the world that they all took the sideways.

The above thoughts emerged in Xu Dao's mind. He glanced at the unused half of the incense candle, and suddenly another thought popped up in his mind:
"In the West Sea, heresy is prevalent, but how can there be a natural way to practice the Dharma in the world? It's just whoever is the most powerful and who can achieve the immortal journey the most, whoever is the Dharma!"

His idea is not far-fetched, but quite an example.

Whether it is martial arts or sword immortality, it was originally just a branch of the immortal way, and even the Yinshen immortal way itself was originally just a method in the cultivation of qi.

It wasn't until the time changed and the cultivation methods were divided into three, and the three were all walked out of the path of longevity by the predecessors, and they were all put on the right path.

Now that the world has undergone great changes, heresies are rampant, and how do you know that these heresies will not go out of longevity in the end, and set the tone for future practice?

Xu Dao looked forward to and agreed with this.Because strictly speaking, he is also a miscellaneous cultivator, and his miscellaneous methods, in the eyes of Daozong Xuanmen, must be among the heretics, and most of them are rare for longevity.

In the true Daoist Taoism, one scripture can directly point to the Dao, and several spells can directly lead to longevity, which is mysterious and mysterious!

Although Xu Dao and the rest of the Daoist Palace obtained Huangtian's Legacy, they did not obtain the practice classics of Huangtian's orthodoxy, they just had the identity of Huangtian's successor.

After a little reverie, Xu Dao suppressed these thoughts.

His mood turned to look forward to: "The sea market is held, and I will be able to see more strange goods in the West Sea. I wonder if I can also see the Taoist Xuanmen Kung Fu?"

Xu Dao immediately stepped out of the cabin where he practiced, came outside the cabin, cast spells, and communicated with a few Taoist priests of the West Sea that he had recently made friends with for questioning.

In the room, Yin Jianjian fell behind him, following him step by step.The shark girl also took off half of the incense candle in the incense burner and held it in her hand, her little face was a little excited.

What Yin Jianjian was excited about was not getting half of the joss stick.

No matter how good the quality of this kind of object is, it is just a small thing for her to enjoy when she takes a bath on weekdays.

What really cheered Yin Jianjian was that Xu Dao gave her this thing and said that she "take it for her own use". He must have decided to save her life and prepare to take her as a slave or concubine!

"Half a year, half a year! This guy doesn't eat oil and salt, and he doesn't even touch my mother. It makes my mother worry to death."

Because Xu Dao kept saying little to her, even though he didn't take her life for half a year, Yin Jianjian was still anxious, which was equivalent to waiting for the result for half a year.

Now Xu Dao's attitude finally changed, she was so excited that she almost crushed half of the incense candle in her hand.

Fortunately, Yin Jianjian held back the excitement in time, and kept telling herself in her heart that this was just the beginning, and she had to be more patient before she could find a chance to escape or even the possibility of revenge in the future.

But what Yin Jianjian didn't know was that Xu Dao was standing outside the cabin, and in the first batch of letters he sent out, he was asking the newly-acquainted Taoist priests: "How much is the price of the slaves of the foundation building? How much is the price of the shark girl of the foundation building? "

Xu Dao did not expose Yin Jianjian's realm to avoid being coveted by others. Now that the sea market is about to open, he has to inquire about the market price first, so as not to be cheated in the sea market.

Whizzing!

Several talisman papers for communication were floating on the open sea.Accompanied by it, there are also streaks of spiritual lights across the sea, and ships of all sizes are also approaching.

The sea area with a radius of thousands of miles has already become lively, and even the several Taoists who are fighting with each other have stopped temporarily, looking forward to the next grand meeting.

Standing on his own boat, Xu Dao received several replies in a short while, and he read them one by one with a chuckle on his face.

Afterwards, he drove the boat under his feet, found a place not far away near the waterway, and waited quietly.

A full night passed, and when the sun rose goldenly from the sea in the east on the second day, a giant also slowly emerged from the east, appearing in the eyes of everyone.

This giant was shining brightly, and all the Taoists on the sea were dazzled.

It is shaped like a bundle of logs, just a raft, but it is hundreds of miles long and huge like an island.

It looks slow, but in fact it rides the ocean currents below and sails fast and unstoppably on the sea.

This is, Baili Fucha!
