My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 169
Jiang Yuan answered casually:
"During the retreat of the Dragon King, I was lucky enough to break through."

Da Ao Shenjun stared at Jiang Yuan silently for a while, his eyes changed for a while, there were shock, jealousy, regret, and some unclear and complicated emotions.

Suddenly, the newly-promoted Dragon King of Haizhong Continent let out a long sigh, cupped his hands at Jiang Yuan and said, "Benchu, I got carried away for a while and lost consciousness. I overdid it, and I apologize to you."

Jiang Yuan looked at the sincere Da Ao Shenjun, and calmly replied: "The Dragon King is serious, and I also made mistakes that day. Let it go."

That's what he said, but God Lord Da Ao understood that his relationship with Jiang Yuan would never return to the way it was before.

God Lord Da Ao slowly turned his head, looked far away, looked at the inner courtyard where Taoxian lived, and said faintly:

"At that time, I was just cultivating energy at the beginning, but for the sake of love, I came to Taoshi Mountain alone. Facing my little sister, I spoke out without fear and stood proudly. Facing this gentleman, I was even more daring."

"To be honest, there was only one thought in my mind at that time—"

God Lord Dayao withdrew his eyes, looked straight at Jiang Yuan, and stretched out his hand a little: "No matter what the price is, I must accept this qi refiner. With this person's help, my wish will definitely come true!"

"Hahaha, how is my vision?"

God Lord Dayao lowered his arms, patted the stone table and laughed, winking at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan also recalled that day.

In fact, when I thought about it later, I was only focused on saving the old monkey, but I was reckless.

If Lord Da Ao hadn't been happy to see Lie, he only competed with Jiang Yuan in martial arts, and if he really wanted to use his magic power, he might not even be able to escape, and would guard the Taoyuan with the old monkey.

At that time, the Great Ao God Lord was heroic and heart-wrenching. If not for this, Jiang Yuan would not have simply surrendered to him.

It's a pity that the current Dragon King of Haizhong Continent, although he is still bold in his words and deeds, is like a piece of flawless jade, which is dazzling on the outside, but a trace of dirt is gradually growing inside.

Suddenly, the four words "Red Dust Purgatory" appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind.

Jiang Yuan had heard these four words twice.

One is the old Taoist Qingyangzi of Qingyang Temple.

At that time, Jiang Yuan had just learned about the Lingxiao Tianlu, and thought he needed both the divine talisman and the immortal way, but the old Taoist of Qingyang sneered back: "Ignorant child, do you know why we as practitioners live in remote mountains?"

After the sarcasm, the old Taoist left Jiang Yuan with a "mortal purgatory".

Another person who said this was Taoxian.

After Jiang Yuan and Da Ao Shenjun had a stalemate at the reward banquet that day, Taoxian came to Jiang Yuan, and after sending an invitation to the "Xiantao Club", he sighed, "Purgatory in the world of mortals is really terrifying."

Looking at the God Lord Dayao at this time, Jiang Yuan had some insights in his heart:
"The so-called 'mortal purgatory' probably means that if you are contaminated with the world of mortals, your mind will be covered with dust, and eventually you will gradually lose your Dao heart."

However, after devoting himself to the Lingxiao Tianlu, there may be no need for painstaking cultivation, and no need to worry about whether the Taoist heart will be muddy.

However, if you stay away from the world of mortals, can you purify your mind?
I'm afraid it's not the case, after all, it depends on practice.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan felt that his spirit seemed to tremble, and a feeling of ecstasy surged up, as if turning into a cloud of light mist, rising faintly.

"Original!"

A sudden clear drink interrupted Jiang Yuan's fascination, and just before he woke up, a vast and scorching fire was about to engulf Jiang Yuan's spirit and melt it away.

Jiang Yuan was dazed, and the blankness in his eyes faded away, replaced by fear.

He almost rose up in the dark just now!

"Thank you Dragon King."

After recovering, Jiang Yuan solemnly thanked God Lord Dayao.

"At the beginning, he was really talented. This Immortal Foundation has just been cast, and it needs to condense the Dao Fruit. It is really enviable."

Da Ao Shenjun repeatedly sighed with emotion, and at the same time, the regret in his eyes grew stronger, and he regretted the impulse of the day more and more.

Jiang Yuan dealt with it casually, but his heart was full of surprises. Even if he had an epiphany, he shouldn't have a dark spirit in the daytime, because this is the way to kill, and the body's instincts will also prevent him from self-destruction.

Unless, there is a gap between his spirit and body, and they are not in perfect harmony!
So has the hidden danger of inconsistency between spirit and flesh beginning to appear?
"Dragon King, Lord Dragon Lord, please drink tea."

A Kui reappeared, walked into the pavilion with refreshments, and bowed down to pour tea for Da Ao Shenjun and Jiang Yuan.

The witch sacrifice had been prepared long ago, but they deliberately left room for Jiang Yuan and the two to talk, and they didn't show up until they found that the atmosphere had eased.

In the past, I underestimated this Siyou country shaman, only thinking that he had a sinister temperament, but in fact, he has a delicate heart.

Three days later.

It was still in this pavilion, but the people opposite Jiang Yuan were replaced by Cheng brothers.

At this time, Cheng Er, although his face was still pale, his breathing was normal, he no longer coughed when he spoke, and his pupils were bright.

After Cheng Er finished digesting Huai Mengzhi, his mind and soul completely recovered, even stronger than before, but his energy was still a little weak, and he needed to nourish it for a while.

"Haha, the second brother Cheng got a blessing in disguise. After drinking the spirit wine, I am afraid that he will be able to leap to the level of Qi refining and become a fairy foundation."

Jiang Yuan happily congratulated Cheng Er.

Neither of them had drunk the heavenly palace spirit wine given to the Cheng brothers by God Lord Dayao, because they wanted to lay a solid foundation and prepare well before breaking through with the spirit wine.

"It's all thanks to my brother's kindness!"

Cheng Er used to be a little fat, but now he is thinner and handsome, and his handsome face is full of gratitude.

"Yeah, if there is no brother, even if the second child can survive, I'm afraid he will become a useless person."

Cheng Da is no less grateful than his younger brother. Both of his parents died in the shipwreck very early, and the two brothers supported each other to grow up, and their relationship is extremely deep.

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hands, "I promised a long time ago that I would get Huaimengzhi for Brother Cheng, and now I'm just fulfilling my promise."

The Cheng brothers looked at each other quietly, and then handed the two talismans to Jiang Yuan.

"This is?"

Jiang Yuan looked puzzled, looked down, and found that these two talismans were completely different from ordinary cinnabar talismans.

The talisman paper of these two talismans is gold leaf, not ordinary yellow paper, and the names of gods are engraved with cloud seals on it. One is "Xun Erlang, the Spirit of the Wind", and the other is "The Heavenly Stars, Fire House star".

Cheng Da pointed to the golden leaf talisman and said, "This is the 'Cloud Seal Book' of the two of us's secret method of wind and fire."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Yun Zhong Xun Erlang, Huo Mansion Star Spirit Officer, I remember."

The brothers of the Cheng family also remembered the fight with Jiang Yuan back then, as well as the acquaintance between the two sides, and laughed suddenly.

After laughing, General Cheng pushed the two-leaf talisman in front of Jiang Yuan again, and said in a deep voice:
"Brother's kindness, the two of us have nothing to repay. Although this wind and fire secret method is far from being a supernatural power, it is the greatest sincerity of the two of us. Please accept it!"

Jiang Yuan immediately declined: "This is the method of the two of you, I can't accept it."

To cast spells on talismans, you must have the names of ghosts and gods and heavenly talismans. This cloud-sealed heavenly book is the "List of Ghosts and Gods". Only with these can you draw talismans and ask the gods to cast spells.

If the Cheng family brothers gave this golden leaf cloud to Jiang Yuan, they would lose this charm.

"Brother don't worry about accepting it."

Cheng Er laughed loudly, "Since the two of us have already served in Haizhongzhou Dragon Palace, how can we lack Tianlu in the future?"

"Furthermore, we are water gods from now on, and this method of wind and fire is not suitable for us."
