The national teacher does not practice

"Taoist Master, farewell to Lanzhou. It's been a long time." Ji Ping'an smiled and looked at the visitor thoughtfully.

The originally arrogant blind old Taoist suddenly stiffened up. His first reaction was to run away, but in an instant, he felt that all the energy around his body was blocked.

The pressure from Ji Ping'an, who was sitting at the top of the well, made the old Taoist priest breathe rapidly and sweat dripped from his forehead.

My heart was filled with astonishment.

Of course he remembered and knew Ji Ping'an.

Although Ji Ping'an went there under a false identity when he was in Heishui Ze.

But after the destruction of Blackwater Lake, news spread in the world. After the old Taoist who took advantage of the chaos to escape learned about it, he easily guessed that the "descendant of the calligraphy family" he accidentally met was the "Ji Sichen" who was widely rumored in the world.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

What's more, with the name "Four Saints" on his back, he was naturally a head shorter than Ji Ping'an.

He had just learned that an outsider had entered the city, and he was curious and alert. He wanted to pretend to be a strong man and test it out, but he never expected that it was Ji Ping'an.

Also because the old Taoist was here, he didn't know that the person in front of him was the "Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty", otherwise he wouldn't know how to react.

"Ji Sichen...Long time, long time no see." The blind Taoist smiled stiffly.

The old city lord's eyes wandered between the two sides, and he greeted with a smile:

"It turns out the guests knew each other."

"We had a chance encounter," Ji Ping'an said with a smile:

"Master Taoist, why don't you sit down and talk?"

Immediately, he glanced at the old city lord again and said:

"If it's convenient, we'd like to talk alone."

The master of the old city had a sophisticated temperament, but he was too weak. Although he was curious in his heart, he stood up quickly and walked out, showing a well-behaved and obedient person.

Liuli glanced at Ji Pingan, meaning:

Should I go out too?

"You don't have to." Ji Ping'an squeezed her hand. Liuli felt comfortable and sat down happily.

"Master..."

At this time, the two girls also raised their heads timidly.

The blind old Taoist calmed down and waved his hand, and the two girls suddenly turned into two little people and entered the bronze lamp in his hand.

His cultivation level is not very strong. The reason why he was able to maintain a certain level of cultivation after crossing the snowy field was entirely dependent on the magic weapon.

At this time, he calmed down and sat down, forcing a smile:

"I didn't know that Ji Sichen actually appeared here. The last time something happened suddenly, I left without saying goodbye. I'm really ashamed..."

Ji Ping'an glanced at him and said:

"No need to talk nonsense and temptations. We are coming to the polar regions, and it seems that you are too. Tell me, why are you here? It's best not to try to deceive. I remind you that the person next to me is the reincarnation of a Buddhist Bodhisattva. He has a clear mind, and you will be caught telling lies.”

Is it so direct...

The blind old Taoist was stumped by the words. When he heard the four words "Buddhism and Bodhisattva", he was even more shocked and couldn't understand what was going on.

He was blind but not blind, and he keenly noticed the ambiguous relationship between the two, pretending to be surprised:

"Qin Tianjian and the Buddhist sect are here together, how dare a poor Taoist lie..."

Liuli glanced at him expressionlessly, her translucent eyes flashing with a faint halo, and her voice was illusive:

"What are you thinking in your heart, why did the Buddhist female Bodhisattva get together with the man named Ji? What about the precepts that were agreed upon? No, I need to be steady first and think about what to say to deceive this couple..."

Liuli finished retelling it with his mind, his eyes were not kind!

The blind old man said: "..."

Ji Pingan's smile slowly faded away:

"It seems that the Taoist priest has a very active mind."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a ball of water suddenly shot out and hit the bronze lamp.

The purple flame burst out immediately, but was suppressed by the suddenly expanding water ball, like a candle in the wind!

At the wick, two little girls shivered with fear. They hugged each other pitifully around a wick, shivering and letting out low whimpering sounds!

The blind old Taoist screamed as if he was hit hard in the chest, as if he was hit by an invisible heavy cannon——

This soul lamp is both his eye and his weakness.

Logically speaking, he should not be destroyed by mortal water, but Ji Ping'an is not an ordinary person...

In an instant, the old Taoist priest almost spurted blood. He felt that his life was in danger, his face changed drastically, and finally he had no other thoughts:

"Si Chen forgives me... Xiaodao dare not hide it, dare not hide it..."

Ji Ping'an's eyebrows softened, the water ball also dissipated, and the soul lamp stabilized again.

The old Taoist priest did not dare to play any tricks this time, so he cupped his hands bitterly and said:

"Xiao Dao did come here for the polar regions, but he doesn't know the details. It's just a chance passed down from ancestors."

"Opportunity?" Ji Ping'an asked back.

The blind old Taoist nodded hurriedly, and was extremely shocked in his heart, knowing that the two parties had only been separated for a few months.

He remembered that Ji Ping'an was just a little stronger than him when he was in Heishui Ze. Who would have thought that when they met again, he would not even have the slightest ability to resist.

He said bitterly:

"Si Chen knows that Xiaodao is a disciple of the 'Soul Lamp Sect'. Although the sect is small, it still has some ideas and things that have been passed down, and among them is an ancient secret.

Before my master passed away years ago, he told me personally that it was passed down from generation to generation by his elders. It was a mantra called: Falling stars are chaos, and the dark sun will end. See the stars and become holy, and see the sun going to the extreme. "

Ji Ping'an was startled, quite surprised, and looked at Liuli.

The female Bodhisattva was also surprised, nodded and said:

"He told the truth and didn't lie."

Ji Ping'an was really surprised this time. In his memory, although the Soul Lantern Sect had a long history, it had always been a fringe sect.

It's an inconspicuous existence, but this mantra is really amazing.

The former corresponds to the return of the stars, the latter corresponds to the celestial phenomenon of the black sun, and the latter two sentences are obviously some kind of instructions.

Ji Ping'an was curious: "Seeing the stars and becoming a saint...could it be..."

The blind old Taoist nodded and made a reminiscence:

"This mantra has been passed down to my generation, but I have never understood its meaning. It wasn't until this year when the stars fell and the world was in chaos that I realized that this might be what was mentioned in the mantra. My master once said that if one day the mantra To come true, you must act accordingly, or there may be a great opportunity.

It was precisely because of the four words "becoming a saint upon seeing the stars" that I half-heartedly decided to join the Four Holy Sects. "

After a pause, he said innocently:

"But then I realized that I might have misunderstood. The mantra was not referring to the Four Saints. Otherwise, I would not have encountered the opportunity and almost died. Especially after the Yuhang Incident, I heard that all the leaders of the Four Saints died in that incident. This was also confirmed during the battle...

Therefore, Xiaodao is really not a demon cultist, he just entered it to investigate, and has nothing to do with those rebels..."

"..." Ji Ping'an was noncommittal:

"go on."

The blind old Taoist smiled bitterly and said:

"After the Battle of Yuhang, the government and Taoist sects were frantically searching for the remnants of the Four Holy Sects. Xiaodao was very afraid and did not dare to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. Thinking about the two sentences of the formula, considering the neatness of the confrontation, he guessed that the black sun was also a change in the celestial phenomena, so I simply left early and headed to Beiguanzhou.

I squatted in the barbarian territory, and then I saw the dark sun coming, and then I secretly came here to look for opportunities, but I never thought that I couldn't enter this polar area..."

As he said this, the old Taoist priest felt sad.

After joining the Four Sacred Sect, he was destroyed by Ji Ping'an. When he came to the polar region, he bumped into Ji Ping'an again...

"He said you are still haunted." Liuli complained with twinkling eyes.

! !

The blind old Taoist was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.

Ji Pingan was too lazy to argue with him and stared at him:

"It's not just these, is it? Just based on this formula, you decide that you want to join the Four Holy Cults? Come to the extreme?"

The blind old Taoist was silent for a moment. Liuli's telepathy could only tell whether he was lying, but not whether he was hiding something secret.

But now he was being questioned by Ji Ping'an, but he couldn't dodge. He sighed, realizing that the chance of cooking had gone, and simply put it aside:

"Indeed, not only this mantra, but also some scattered words are about the four ancient saints."

"Four Saints? Not Three Saints? Where did the Four Saints come from?" Liuli was surprised.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said:

"I don't know. It's just a saying passed down by the elders of the sect. It is said that in ancient times, there were four saints who preached the Dharma in heaven and earth. The four saints first set out from the northern pole to preach to the world. These are the only ones, and there are more. The specifics are gone.”

Four saints?

Even Ji Ping'an frowned now.

This is information that he has never mastered.

From ancient times to the present, there are only three saints in all records.

They are Dao Zun, Buddha, Demon Ancestor... They are also the three sources of major magics in Kyushu today.

Although the "Four Holy Religions" declare that there are four saints, they are purely fabricated claims by these demonic believers in order to deceive the people and promote their doctrines.

The fourth saint mentioned by the Four Saints is the powerful "Demon Patriarch" from thousands of years ago.

But in fact, the Patriarch of the Demonic Way was cut into pieces by Li Yang himself in the end, and his corpses were blown up all over the sky...

Therefore, Ji Ping'an knew very well that this statement was pure nonsense.

But the old Taoist priest in front of him actually claimed that there were really four saints in ancient times... But even in the "star fragments", Ji Ping'an could only sense the power left by the three saints.

This made him question the authenticity of this statement. "Where does this statement come from? Your seniors will not believe in such legends without evidence." Ji Ping'an asked rhetorically.

The blind Taoist priest was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said seriously:

"Of course there is evidence! Although our Soul Lantern Sect is small, we have our own inheritance. How can we believe without any evidence?

Many years ago, the elders of my sect accidentally entered a cave left by an ancient Qi practitioner in Zhongzhou and obtained a golden bamboo slip. Mysterious runes were engraved on it, which seemed to be some kind of special writing. The elders were By deciphering the bamboo slips, I was able to sum up the formula..."

As he said this, he was still worried that Ji Ping'an wouldn't believe it, so he simply took out a sachet from his arms and poured out a intact golden bamboo slip!

But Ji Ping'an was stunned.

Golden bamboo slips!

Another golden bamboo slip!

It is also the cave of ancient Qi practitioners... Back in Qixia Town, he learned from the sword spirit Huang Ying that his senior brother "Xingzhi Zhenren" accidentally obtained the golden bamboo slips.

Suspecting that it was pointing directly to the road, he embarked on a journey to find the road, but disappeared.

Ji Ping'an later did break into a cave and saw the huge Taoist statue, and he and Huayang had sex under his witness...

Then, after he rescued You Baishu, he also got more than half of the golden bamboo slips from him and gave them to Mu Jiuyao.

Yu Baishu claims that the Qi Practitioner Cave existed during the Daxing Dynasty and was suspected to be involved in the death of a demon clan god.

And what is in front of me is the third one...

And it is a complete bamboo slip of a certain message that has been deciphered...

It records the changes of the stars in the future.

The reason why the old Taoist priest joined the Four Saints was because he had heard the sayings of the "Four Saints", which can explain it.

Ji Ping'an was in a trance for a while, and felt that many clues were connected into a line at this moment:

"If the statement deciphered by the old Taoist ancestors is correct, then is it possible that there were indeed four saints in ancient times?

"They came out of the Pole? Entered Kyushu?

"This is consistent with the very early age of the saint's appearance recorded in "Star Fragments".

"There is a huge extraterrestrial meteorite in the polar regions. Its age is ancient and cannot be verified. Does that mean that the ancient saints also came from outer space with the meteorite?

"But why are there only traces of the teachings of the Three Saints in the world? Where is the Fourth Saint?

"What are these bamboo slips scattered all over the place? Are they left by Tao Zun? What is his purpose? In earlier times, were there some powerful Qi practitioners who were already tracing back?"

Ji Ping'an had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He clutched the bamboo slip engraved with strange symbols and got distracted.

It wasn't until Liuli next to him started calling him softly that Ji Ping'an came back to his senses and said with an apologetic smile:

"I thought of something."

The old Taoist priest spread his hands and said:

"That's all I know. I know that this rhetoric is too absurd and completely different from historical records. It is actually fallacy. If Si Chen doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I believe it." Ji Ping'an said.

The old Taoist priest was stunned.

Ji Ping'an held the golden bamboo slips in his hands, stood up and said:

"You said the pole is blocked and cannot be entered. Take me to see it."

The blind old Taoist was not surprised, nodded and said:

"Okay. But Ji Sichen, you have to be prepared. Even though you two are much stronger than me, you are still afraid of not being able to get in. Although the cultivation of the trail is low, your eyes are sharp. That barrier is not based on strength. It can be broken."

A blind man said that he had good eyesight... Ji Pingan and Liuli looked at each other with disdain:

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

They were only one step away from the secret, and both of them felt intense excitement and didn't want to delay at all.

The three of them walked out of the palace and soon saw a group of barbarians headed by the city lord waiting outside.

Knowing that he was going to see the Polar Regions, the barbarian city lords offered to lead the way. They were obviously curious and wanted to know whether the two new arrivals could succeed.

……

Jiji is located at the back of Ning Ancient City. Go out from the back city gate and keep walking until you enter a canyon, which is the entrance.

When a group of people entered the canyon, they heard the sound of a violent storm passing by.

It can be clearly seen that the exit of the canyon in front is blocked by a terrifying blizzard. It is obvious that the wind here is relatively light, but if you take a few steps forward, the wind becomes extremely terrifying.

The flying snow also blocked the view, making it difficult to see in the distance.

"Although the storm is big, it is not difficult for monks." Liuli said.

The blind old Taoist held the soul lamp and said loudly:

"The storm is not difficult, but there are invisible barriers ahead."

As he spoke, the old Taoist bent down and grabbed a stone, and threw it forward. The stone whizzed, but hit the air and exploded to pieces, leaving a vaguely visible translucent barrier blocking it.

"This barrier completely blocks the polar region and cannot be bypassed! I tried to enter from other directions but failed!" the old Taoist priest sighed.

He had tried many times in the past few days, but failed without exception.

Liuli did not believe in evil, so she walked barefoot outside the barrier, suddenly raised her elbow and pulled back. The Buddha's light spurted out from behind her, outlining a Dharma image.

Fa Xiang also made a punching motion, and Liuli punched in a deep voice.

The air was torn apart, and this punch was powerful enough to crack mountains and crack rocks.

But when it hits the barrier, it only creates a tiny circle of light golden ripples, like water splashes.

Liuli was shaken and flew back, retreating dozens of feet before she stabilized her body. Her face turned red, which was a sign of the surging blood.

You must know that this is already a full-strength blow from her sitting in the well, and she also uses the "Powerful Vajra Fist" of Buddhism. In terms of strength alone, Ji Ping'an's full strength can only be like this.

But the barrier didn't move at all.

"Let me tell you, there's no way you can get in."

The blind old Taoist was quietly happy in his heart, but regretfully said on his face:

"Xiaodao suspects that the time has not come yet, or that some special method is needed to enter."

At this time, Ji Ping'an walked closer, and an illusory astrolabe appeared deep in his eyes. In an instant, he performed countless deductions.

He closed his eyes, opened them again, and said with a clear expression:

"It does require a special approach."

"What did you find?" Liuli walked over and asked.

"Formation," Ji Ping'an explained with a sigh:

"This barrier is a formation that is closely connected with the entire Exiled Land and even the entire Kyushu. Therefore, fighting against it is like fighting against the entire Kyushu. Even if I come here at my peak, I am not sure that I can do it. Even if the power breaks through, even if it can be destroyed, the price will be the shock to the nine provinces and the destruction of all living beings."

so smart? Liuli was surprised.

But hearing these words in the ears of the blind old Taoist and a group of trembling barbarians, it felt strange.

What does "my peak period" mean...still pulling Kyushu at every turn...do you think you are Kamizo? What if you are the Imperial Master of Zhou Dynasty and Zhenren Liyang?

The blind old Taoist cursed in his heart, saying that young people these days are too bragging...

Liuli suddenly turned her head and looked at him quietly.

The blind old Taoist's thoughts changed: This young man...fuck, this young man...

Liuli turned back expressionlessly and looked at Ji Pingan with a frown:

"What should I do?"

Ji Ping quietly examined the storm in front of him and said:

"As long as there is a formation, there is a key to breaking it."

As he spoke, he suddenly spread his hands, exposed the golden bamboo slip to the wind, and poured it into the spirit essence. Nothing happened.

The old Taoist priest was behind him, hehe, he also tried, but no matter how he used spiritual energy to stimulate it, it was useless.

But then, Ji Ping'an spread out another hand. This time, in his hand was the smelted star fragment.

Two objects resonate with each other.

The storm ahead suddenly eased, and the barrier fluctuated on its own, like a lake disrupted by stones.

"what--"

Seeing this scene, the barbarians exclaimed, and the blind old man was also stunned for a moment.

But the barrier was only turbulent and did not disappear. It seemed that the strength was not enough... The old man breathed a sigh of relief again.

Ji Ping'an frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. As soon as he thought about it, a page of paper flew out from his arms. It was the most precious treasure of the Tao Sect. It was a page from the scroll left by the legendary saint Tao Zun, and it also contained a piece of the weapon spirit. Page.

This time, the barrier finally shook violently, in full view of everyone.

The storm that seemed to have existed forever was split open by a magnificent force, slowly forming a straight passage in front of him.

It's like a journey to heaven.
