Chapter 539 Qingqiu Messenger (ask for a monthly ticket)
You Bing's hand was held by Xu Dao, feeling the faint light brought by the flying snake on his wrist, his chest was suddenly hot, and his face moved.

After becoming a golden alchemy Taoist, You Bing shared power with the Lord of the Bones. After half a century, he had already gotten used to the indifference brought by mana. Now that he meets Xu Dao again, he feels the warmth for a long time.

Blush slowly crept up on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but slightly lowered her head, like a bride who dared not look directly into her husband's fiery eyes.

If there were other people on White Bone Island here, seeing their island owner like this, they would all be stunned and shout incredible.

However, in Xu Dao's eyes, he completely regained his sense of familiarity with You Bing from You Bing's deep embarrassment, and he was no longer unfamiliar.He played with You Bing's little hand, and simply hugged the other party in his arms, regardless of the other party's identity as a golden alchemy Taoist.

And You Bing also let him hug her, barely raised her head, and wanted to say a few words, but when she saw Xu Dao's eyes getting hotter and hotter, her eyes were shy and timid.

After a while, You Bing's eyes blurred again, completely turning from ice and snow into snow water, watery.

Suddenly, the sound of water splashes sounded.

Next to it was a spirit pool used for alchemy, the cold air inside it was deep and had special effects, but suddenly two figures broke into it.

You Bing's voice suddenly sounded in the ice palace: "No! It's very cold in the pool, sir, don't enter."

Xu Dao shuddered instantly when he fell into the spirit pool.Just now, he just glanced at the pool and roughly checked it with his spiritual sense, thinking that he could bear it, but he didn't expect that the spirit pool used for alchemy would be so permeable.

He looked at You Bing who was dragged into the water by himself again, and found that the other party was soaked, and looked at him with some worry and reproach, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling of being frozen.

Xu Dao gritted his teeth, turned the zhenqi in his body far away, making himself seem to be on fire, and pretended to be calm and said:

"It's okay."

When You Bing heard this, she looked at Xu Dao in astonishment and suspicion, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that Xu Dao's body was not hurt by the cold air in the spirit pool.

In fact, Xu Dao stayed for a while longer, regretted it in his heart, and decided to get up and leave the pool.You Bing possesses the magic power of the golden core, and although he is superb in Taoism and amazing in physique, he still has not formed the core after all, and he is somewhat unable to bear it.

But in the ice palace where the two were, there was nothing around except the spirit pool, let alone a bed or something like that.Xu Dao thought to himself that there was no reason to pick You Bing up and put him on the ground, or he didn't want to look like a headless chicken, looking for a bed all over the palace.

His teeth were trembling, and the hotness in his eyes was not quenched by the cold air in the spirit pool, but burned up.

Xu Dao is ready to huddle together to keep warm and rub against heat!
After a while, the water surface in the spirit pond shook suddenly.

The Golden Pill of Bitter Bamboo, which had been treated solemnly, was sinking and floating in the spirit pool as if no one wanted it.The bone rosette that held it had sealed it up early in the morning, blocking it tightly.

Just like that, someone thought it was an eyesore, grabbed it and threw it out of the ice palace.

The two people, who were all eyes on each other, didn't care whether the Golden Pill of Bitter Bamboo would bump into each other.After all, with the Soaring Snake, the importance of this Golden Elixir plummeted, and it was just a ration for feeding the Soaring Snake.

………………

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed.

Xu Dao and You Bing have not seen each other for about 50 years, even for a Taoist priest, it has been a long time.

After the two reunited, it was like honey mixed with oil. After being together for several days, the water in the spirit pool was almost evaporated dry by Xu Dao's body.

In the past few days, for the residents of the city of bones, there has been a lot of discussion and news.

Among them, Zhuang Bufan occasionally looked at the iceberg in the center of the city, and would say in surprise:

"What day is today?"

Immediately, a Taoist priest from the Law Enforcement Hall replied, "It's the eighth day."

On the Bone Ice Mountain, there was only You Bing living alone. Usually, even if Zhuang Bufan and others seek to see him, they would stay at the top of the mountain for a cup of tea at most. The rest of the foreign Taoists were interviewed when they climbed the mountain, and the stay time was even shorter.

And it has been eight days since Xu Dao was taken to the iceberg by You Bing himself, and he never came down once.Coupled with what You Bing said to Xu Dao before as evidence, everyone in the city believed that You Bing really liked Xu Dao.

Not many people criticize You Bing himself, after all, there is a matter of recruiting a son-in-law, and You Bing is a Taoist of Jindan, no one dares to do so at all.

It was Xu Dao who was criticized by everyone.

Half of the people were envious of Xu Dao being chosen by You Bing as a Taoist companion, and the other half thought Xu Dao was just a face-to-face, let alone worthy.

The two parties were arguing endlessly in the city of bones, but some people forgot those foreign Taoists who passed out drunk in the streets, alleys, taverns and tea shops.

These foreign Taoists are old and young, strong and weak, but all of them think they are good-looking or brave.

These people have been squatting in the city for several years, and they all came to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference, hoping to be favored by You Bing, but at this time their hopes were shattered.

At the foot of the iceberg, the names of the Tower of Heroes engraved on the ice wall are no longer the same as before, and many of the names have been erased by the owner himself.

Although the hope is so shattered, these Taoists dare not complain in the city of bones. Erasing their name on the Tower of Heroes is already the only pride left by a powerful person.

After all, with the bloody fate of the bitter bamboo Taoist, it is too late for the foreign Taoists to put their tails between their tails, let alone be rampant.

It can be said that the only hope they have left is that Xu Daozhen is just a gift accepted by You Bing.In this way, they may still have the opportunity to be the leader, and it is not a waste of time waiting in the city.

But when Xu Dao and You Bingzhen walked down from the iceberg, the last hope of the foreign Taoists was shattered.

Although You Bing didn't say that the "Taoism Conference" would be cancelled, it seemed that there were other arrangements, but he ordered the many foreign Taoists in the city to leave as soon as possible, and don't work hard in the city, so as not to be poor and unhappy.

When these words spread, a large number of people became drunk on the streets of Bone City.

People in the city regard this as a joke, and not many people have sympathy for these outside Taoists.

After all, the reason why these Taoists came all the way to Bone Island was because they were greedy for the foundation of Bone Island and wanted to take away their Bone Lord!

As for the parties involved, Xu Dao and You Bing, they met with some people in the city, but they didn't take the wind and rain in the city to heart.

If it weren't for You Bing's life-span, the sooner the relic fake alchemy could be promoted to the real one, the better. According to her intention, she wanted to pass on Xihai and set a specific date for her and Xu Dao's wedding.

Although the big wedding cannot be held for the time being, we will talk about it after preparing for the alchemy.During the few days of working together, You Bing imagined the situation on the wedding day many times, and she also brought out many different styles of phoenix coronets for Xu Dao to choose from.

Xu Dao didn't have a very specific concept about becoming a Taoist couple, but he just agreed.

But after such a lot of tossing, he also began to face up to this matter.

One of the things that he cares about is whether his acquaintances can rush to Baigu Island if they really hold a big wedding.Among these acquaintances, the ones Xu Dao is most familiar with are the little fox girl Su Jiu, the swordsman Lao Sha and others.

In Zhuang Bufan's mansion.

Xu Dao and You Bing sat cross-legged in a huge furnace room, sitting on simple futons, their bodies were surrounded by red light, which was formed by the furnace fire emerging from the copper tripod and shining on the wall.

This stove is the place where Zhuang Bufan sleeps. The other party has lost his physical body, and only his soul is parasitic in the flying sword. His daily hobbies and daily life are naturally different from those of ordinary Taoists.

It's just that Zhuang Bufan is not in the bronze tripod right now, but has turned into a phantom figure, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

After Xu Dao heard You Bing's words, he was shocked and said:
"What, Dongtu? Su Jiu was taken by the people of Dongtu and taken to Dongtu?!"

You Bing nodded solemnly, and Zhuang Bufan beside him also nodded his phantom.

You Bing said in a deep voice: "After my concubine established Baigu Island, one of the five Jindan Taoists who came from Haimeng claimed to be from the east."

"I didn't believe it at first, but after the dispute stopped, after many inquiries, I found that the other party was really not a Taoist from the West Sea, but a person from the Yan Kingdom of the Eastern Land. This Yan Kingdom is located in the north of the Eastern Land. Coincidentally, the country Like the state of Wu, it has already been shattered."

According to You Bing's words, the Taoist of Yan State may be friendly to Baigu Island because of the sympathy between Wu State and Yan State.

After Xu Dao listened, the word "Dongtu" once again entered his mind.

He couldn't help but think of when he was collecting Qi and refining the Gang, there was a group of golden lights who asked him to go to the Taihe Mountain in the East to worship in the Chunyang Dao, so that he could be that person's registered disciple.

There are immortals in Dongtu, rich things, heavenly treasures, and outstanding people. Xu Dao himself can prove this. If Su Jiu and others really go to Dongtu, it will be a great opportunity for the three of them.

After all, a place like Xihai is almost the end of the Dharma era mentioned in Taoism books, and it is really not a good place to practice truth and seek Taoism.

Xu Dao said in a deep voice: "So, Su Jiu and the others are following that Taoist of the Yan Kingdom and going to the east?"

But You Bing shook her head, her face showed embarrassment, and said: "No. Miss Su Jiu disappeared on the island not long after the Haimeng visitors left."

Xu Dao frowned slightly.

You Bing continued: "At that time, Su Jiu had already accumulated her true energy, the battle was over, and she was about to step into the foundation building immediately, but the night before she was going to retreat, she suddenly disappeared on the island, leaving only a trail of orders. A plaque with the word 'Qingqiu' engraved on it."

"My concubine thought that she had encountered an accident, but later found that Chen Wan and Lao Sha, who had been friends with her on the island, had also disappeared, and there was no trace of a fight in the room. Only then did I realize that it was not an accident."

While speaking, You Bing took out a simple and simple token from his sleeve, which was only the size of a baby's fist, with a strange shape, like a cat's claw, with strange characters of snakes, insects and birds written on the front, and the seal character "Qingqiu" on the back .

Xu Daobo had a strong memory, and immediately searched out the information about Qingqiu in his mind, and You Bing and Zhuang Bufan also added to the introduction.

This world is called the Mountain and Sea Realm. In ancient times, there were Qi refiners, aliens, monsters, and beasts roaming the world, and Qingqiu has existed since ancient times. It is a place name in the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing":
"Three hundred miles to the east, it is called Qingqiu Mountain. Its yang is full of jade, and its yin is full of green and mallets. There are beasts, its shape is like a fox with nine tails, and its sound is like a baby. It can eat people, but it can't eat it. .”

This hill is the boundary of a demon clan, and things have changed in later generations. It is also rumored that it is an island in the sea, which is close to the place where the sun rises; there are also rumors that it is one of the ten islands where gods live, and it is also called Changzhou. Hence the name.

In these rumors, Qingqiu is no longer evil, and there is no theory of cannibalism. Instead, there is a saying of kinship. It is said that the fox of Qingqiu is good at wandering around the world, looking for some powerful dragons and snakes, seeds of cultivation, etc. The characters form a good relationship and rely on it.

This kind of practice is similar to the shark girl in the West Sea, but it is not as lowly as the shark girl. They are all fox girls looking for people, not people looking for fox girls.

Moreover, there is a country in Qingqiu, which is said to be a sacred place for foxes, and it is the responsibility of selecting fox spirits from all over the world. All foxes who are the best or have good deeds will have the opportunity to be favored by the envoys of Qingqiu Kingdom, and then selected into the country for further training. .

Every year, there will be quite a few fox demons and fox spirits from all over the country, so they go to Qingqiu and disappear there.

In addition, because of the rumors, many fox demons would venture out to sea on rafts, so that passengers died at sea, resulting in constant fox corpses on the East China Sea all the year round.

However, these claims are the most recent rumors in the Tang Dynasty. For nearly a thousand years, the West Sea has been blocked, and the situation in Qingqiu Kingdom has been seldom known.

Although You Bing has been inquiring about it for the past few years, but he has obtained very little, but he is more and more sure that Su Jiu has gone to Dongtu:
"I learned from a merchant on an island to the south that a famous fox demon in the local area also disappeared, and two servants under him also disappeared. Therefore, I guess that Chen Wan and Lao Sha were probably brought together by Su Jiu. It was taken away. It’s just that there are doubts in it. It is rumored that Qingqiu Kingdom only accepts fox monsters, and never accepts monsters or people other than fox monsters..."

Xu Dao heard the news, pondered, and said:
"Perhaps although she was taken away by Qingqiu's envoy, she might not be able to enter Qingqiu. I'm afraid there are still other tests. Therefore, she brought two companions to help her and give her a chance."

You Bing and Zhuang Bufan nodded after thinking about it.

Xu Dao changed the subject, and comforted You Bing:

"The envoy from Qingqiu came from afar and took Su Jiu away from the island without anyone noticing. His cultivation must be at the Golden Core level, and he probably had other means. Fellow Taoists had just experienced a great battle at that time, so there is no need to Blamed myself."

Xu Dao smiled again and said: "Besides, this matter should be a great opportunity for Su Jiu, and she can be regarded as a rare lucky fox in the West Sea."

You Bing looked at Xu Dao, confirmed again and again that Xu Dao wasn't talking bad words, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
