The national teacher does not practice

The courtyard fell into silence for a while, and several people present seemed to be calmed by Ji Ping'an's thoughts.

"How is this possible?"

Taoist Xingzhi was the first to shake his head. He has lived for a long time and has a clear view of human nature:

"This is an opportunity to go further on the road. Which strong person is not tempted? Besides, you have to know that once the situation we guessed really happens, it will definitely be a decisive battle between the top strong ones, and the Shenzang Realm is It's hard to kill each other.

In other words, if the person who gains authority does not choose to advance, it is impossible to keep the authority and will be taken away by the others, so it is impossible to think about it.

Just like you, who was so strong back then, weren't you also plotted by the Lord of the Demon Kingdom to besieged and die on the Boundary Mountain? Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone in the Divine Treasure Realm who is truly invincible. "

However, the Liuli Bodhisattva with fluttering green hair did not follow suit. Instead, she looked at Ji Ping'an, and seemed to understand what he meant. The female Bodhisattva with a refined appearance suddenly spoke softly and said:

"No, there were people who were once invincible and could remain invincible in the face of siege."

Master Xingzhi was stunned.

He "died" too early, never went out, and did not know the existence of the "Great Zhou Guoshi".

But Liuli knew that the Imperial Master had done this before.

He single-handedly suppressed the world and surrendered, even though the other strong men surrounded him and couldn't defeat him.

Because other gods have only served as gods once, but this is the second time for the national master.

His understanding of "Tao" is the first one in history.

"Are you going to fight for power, choose not to advance, and keep it from others?" Liuli raised her head slightly and walked to Ji Ping'an.

Her bare feet stood slightly on tiptoes, and her ten shiny and moist toes gripped the ground, making herself a little taller and almost touching his face.

Just to use her eyes that can discern people's hearts to see clearly the heart of the man in front of her.

"Yes." Ji Ping'an said calmly.

There was no hesitation. No matter in his past life or this life, he never really regarded himself as a superior immortal.

Just like a national master at his peak, he would also laugh and curse like an ordinary person. This is something engraved in his bones.

It's true... Liuli's eyes lit up a little, and she suddenly said seriously:

"But it's hard and you could die."

Ji Ping'an smiled and said, "Do I care about this?"

"You don't want the temptation of the Red Dust Fairy either?"

"If the price is so high, then it's okay if the immortal doesn't cultivate," Ji Ping'an said, paused, and then added, "Besides, I don't believe that becoming a mortal immortal must come at the cost of swallowing up the world."

He had a bold idea in mind.

If the formation that covers Kyushu absorbs spiritual elements from the universe and pours them into the world, then why can't people directly absorb spiritual elements from the starlight of the universe and gain promotion?

Just like... in this polar region, it is difficult for most monks to practice, but it is Ji Ping'an's home field.

There are four or nine natural phenomena, and one of them can be escaped.

Perhaps, the star official path he created in order to find his way home didn't need to rely on the so-called formation.

Of course, this is just a guess and some small verification is needed...

So he didn't speak in a hurry, but Liuli's eyes fixed upon hearing his words. For no reason, she smiled charmingly.

At this moment, she was finally sure that her choice was correct.

If she wants to practice Buddhism, then the man in front of her is the most "Buddha"-like person in the world.

"No... can you two take the poor Taoist's feelings into consideration..." Xingzhi Taoist cursed and exited the live broadcast room.

Liuli blushed and glared at him angrily.

Huang Ying was so surprised that she just wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds.

Master Xingzhi looked at his junior brother, frowned and said:

"Li Yang, so you want to be the one who can save the world? Don't forget how those people in Kyushu regarded you as an enemy. Who will believe you? Support you? You are no match for the whole world."

Ji Ping'an smiled and said: "Brother, five hundred years have passed since you were asleep in the outside world. My reputation is now very different from what it was back then. Of course, the most important thing is that I have many, many friends now."

Xing Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you have more secrets than I thought."

He was still hesitant and didn't think his junior brother could succeed.

But even if it is not for the sake of the world, but just for self-protection, fighting for power must be done.

Therefore, whether it can save the world or not is a matter after gaining power.

Their current goal is to find ways to restore their cultivation and prepare for the battle in the near future.

"That's right," Ji Ping'an said suddenly:

"There is still an unanswered question, and that is about the Fourth Saint. Since there were four Red Dust Immortals in the beginning, why do we only know three in our history? Who is the fourth? Why didn't he leave his mantle?"

Master Xingzhi shook his head and said: "I don't know. There is no answer in this mansion. Maybe after the dome comes, we will know."

Liuli looked sideways at Ji Ping'an with worried eyes: "Do you think there's something wrong inside?"

Ji Pingan nodded: "I am indeed a little worried."

He remembered that among the nine fragments he had collected, there was no trace of the fourth Red Dust Immortal.

This fourth saint clearly exists in history, but it seems that all traces have been erased.

He suddenly felt a strong worry. The missing saint might be a big variable.

With this in mind, he subconsciously conducted a deduction, and then froze for a moment, realizing that the crisis was approaching.

"Then what are you going to do next? Meditate here to comprehend the Nine States Pan, or..." Master Xingzhi asked.

Ji Ping'an came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Of course I will study here for a while. But before that, I have to do one thing first."

"What's going on?" Several people said in unison.

Ji Ping'an glanced at the "Jiuzhou Disk", which was made of the same material as the star fragments but was many times larger, and thought that if it were a palm-sized fragment, his efficiency in absorbing starlight could be increased several times.

Then wouldn't such a big "fragment" allow me to go to heaven?

Increase the speed of swallowing practice to an unprecedented and terrifying level?

Especially in this place of exile, they don't even have to hide and can drink as much as they want.

"I'm going to be promoted to Guantian first."

Ji Ping'an said, his tone as casual as talking about drinking water and eating: "Then we will solve a small problem."

……

……

On the other side, outside the polar valley.

The blind old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on a big stone, and the soul lamp in his hand released a circle of light.

He has been sitting here for a day and a night, but Ji Ping'an still hasn't come out.

"Taoist Master, how long will Mr. Ji stay in there? Nothing will happen."

Next to him, the old barbarian city lord, who was thin and grimacing, couldn't help but ask.

Clearly, there is great concern about changes in the polar regions.

The old Taoist priest said angrily: "How do I know? But your worries are not unreasonable."

He suddenly felt that Ji Ping'an might really be in trouble. Thinking about it with his head, he knew that there must be a big terror hidden in this mysterious place.

This wind and snow barrier is difficult for even Shenzang to easily break through. So isn't it easy to kill two wells?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt much better and thought to himself: Hey, could this be the way of luck?

The thief robbed Master Dao of his opportunity, but in fact, wasn't he also exploring the way for Master Dao?

If he dies inside, he will be protecting Master Tao from disaster...

The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was possible. At this time, he looked at the barbarian criminals and suddenly asked:

"You have lived here for so long, but you have no understanding of the polar regions? For example, why is the spiritual essence so thin in this ghost place? It is so difficult for people to practice cultivation, but the beasts in the snowy fields are more cruel and cruel than the last ones. It's so damn unreasonable. "

The old city lord said bitterly: "Master Taoist, please don't joke. If we knew, how could we be so miserable?"

Same...the old Taoist sighed.

The old city lord continued:

"As for the beasts in the snow field, they are indeed different from us. Perhaps it has something to do with their proximity to monsters. Although the strong monsters come here, their power will be limited, but the impact will be far less than that of humans and barbarians, or it may be related to the difference in practice methods."

The blind Taoist priest curled his lips and said proudly:

"The monsters eat their hair and drink their blood. They are no different from wild beasts. They practice only by swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon. They are extremely vulgar! Didn't they also fail when they joined forces with you barbarians?

The entire demon clan's strong men surrounded and killed our human clan's real person, Li Yang, in the boundary mountain. As a result, corpses were slaughtered all over the mountains and fields, and his vitality was severely damaged. So why would the king of the country imitate our human clan's strategies, but in the end, everyone suffered from his mistakes and imitated others...

Oh, you're still bragging on his behalf, could the demon clan's cultivation method be even better? There is no demon clan here, otherwise if one appears now, I can make it kneel down and beg for mercy with just a few tricks..."

At this time, suddenly, a group of barbarians ran out from the north gate of Ning Ancient City in the distance, with long strides and extremely fast speed. The leader was the dark and determined young man "Ta" from the hunting team.

Ta ran closer and looked panicked: "City Lord, a demon is coming!"

?

The blind old Taoist priest's bragging posture froze, and he slowly turned around, with a question mark floating above his head.

The barbarian city lord was also surprised: "Another strong man is here? Is it from the royal court, or..."

Ta looked restless:

"I walked through the snow plains alone. As soon as I entered the city, I asked someone about the situation in the polar regions. I took the opportunity to run over and report. The monster came menacingly and was very evil. One of us was a little slow in answering, and was He killed him casually!"

The city lord was shocked. He didn't expect that this newcomer would be even more ferocious than the previous two.

Although the old man and the man looked down upon them, at least they didn't kill anyone, especially when the man and woman gave them food.

Who would have thought that a demon clan would be so cruel?

"Taoist Priest! Humans and monsters are incompatible. Barbarians are humans too. Please ask Taoist Priest to eliminate the demons!" the city lord cried.

The blind old Taoist priest who was bragging just now was embarrassed for a moment, unable to get off the tiger.

However, due to issues left over from history, he did have hatred for the demon clan, so he deliberately pretended to be so, and sneered: "A mere demon clan is so rampant, has that guy ever claimed his family name?" Youth Tower nodded vigorously and said, "The other party calls himself The Demon Kingdom takes over as its leader."

? ?

The old Taoist priest slipped and almost fell off the stone. Everyone was confused and suspected that they had heard wrongly.

At this time, suddenly, a barbarian looked in the direction of Ning Gucheng: "Come..."

When everyone looked at it, their pupils suddenly shrank!

On the snowy ground, a figure looked like a grain of rice at first, and in the blink of an eye, it looked like a dove egg.

Then, it appeared at the mouth of the canyon, in front of everyone.

That's an old man.

Wearing a gray but expensive robe, he is slightly stooped, his face is covered with wrinkles, and his hair is slightly disheveled.

He is holding a patterned stone cane in his hand, and there is a white "jade snake" hanging at the end of each earlobe.

The appearance is not outstanding.

But for some reason, whenever he makes eye contact with it, he has the terrifying illusion that he is being stared at by a cruel and cold-blooded beast, his breath is frozen, and he will be devoured at any time.

As soon as the old leader of the Demon Kingdom appeared, his eyes swept across the crowd. His eyes were brown, but his pupils were actually vertical.

The barbarian city lord felt only fear, and subconsciously turned his head to look for help at the enigmatic Taoist priest.

Immediately, he saw the blind old Taoist who was originally majestic and domineering get down from the stone at some point.

At this moment, he was hiding behind the crowd, burying his head in his chest, hiding the lantern in his hand behind his back, with a small and transparent posture.

City Lord: "..."

tower:"……"

"Oh, it's very lively." At this time, the leader of the Demon Kingdom smiled, his voice was hoarse and sounded clearly in everyone's ears, "Can anyone explain what happened here?"

All the barbarians looked at each other, and at the same time took a step back in tacit agreement, letting the blind old Taoist priest hiding behind come out.

The old king smiled and said: "Human race, you tell me."

The blind Taoist priest raised his head numbly, pretending to be at a loss, and looked around as if he was blind and could not see anything:

"Who's talking? Old blind man, I have bad eyesight and can't see clearly..."

The old king's smile grew brighter, and he suddenly raised one of the two hands holding the cane and grabbed it from the air.

The blind Taoist priest yelled, and was pulled by the invisible force. With a sliding shovel, he came to the king of the country.

Kneeling on the ground, unable to move, he tried to stand up, but it seemed as if he was being put on countless shackles and being pressed down by a mountain. His spine crackled and was about to break.

Except for the mouth and eyes, the rest of the body cannot be commanded!

"Human, you say." Repeated for the second time.

The blind Taoist priest opened his mouth, veins appeared on his forehead, but he still said firmly: "I am a poor Taoist, I can't see... I don't know..."

The king smiled and said: "Since they are useless eyeballs, it is better to throw them away."

The moment he finished speaking, the Taoist priest's face suddenly turned red, and the blood all over his body was manipulated to flow into his eyes.

Just a scream was heard, and his two gray-white, already necrotic eyeballs popped out of their sockets and fell into the snow!

Blood suddenly spurted out from both eye sockets, leaving only two terrifying black holes, and vein-like nerves could be vaguely seen squirming.

"what!!"

The Taoist priest screamed in pain: "My eyes... Taoist master's eyes are gone..."

But the king smiled and said: "No need to pretend, although it hurts to gouge out your eyes, but you can't see with this dead body, so what if it is destroyed? But if you still don't answer, then I will gouge out your real eyes." .”

As he spoke, the old man spread his hands.

In the bronze lamp that fell to the ground, a purple flame suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, condensing and collapsing into a pill-like ball made of flames.

In the ball, two girls hugged each other, shivering.

The elder sister tried hard to hide her younger sister behind her, begging for mercy loudly, but she couldn't make a sound.

The king smiled and clasped his hands slightly. The two girls serving as wicks were immediately covered in blood, as if they were about to be crushed. As the blood flowed out, the flames became brighter.

"I said! I said! Let the poor Taoist disciple go! Let him go..." The blind Taoist priest was almost crushed and fell to the ground, vomiting blood and shouting.

Then, as if he was afraid of being a step too late and pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he recounted his origins, how he came here according to the bamboo slips, and how he met Ji Ping'an again.

The king narrowed his eyes and looked extremely surprised:

"You said you met Ji Ping'an from the Qintian Prison here? There was an unknown barefoot woman beside you? Did they go inside?"

"Yes……"

The face of the king changed obviously. When he arrived here, he had already diffused his consciousness and tried to break through the barrier in front.

But he returned in vain, and he clearly realized that the barrier was so strong that he could not destroy it now.

Perhaps only by bringing in the great monks from Shenzang and continuing the bombardment can it be opened.

According to the Taoist priest, the man and woman obviously used the correct method to enter.

Of course, this wasn't what surprised him the most. What really surprised him was that Ji Ping'an was still alive.

When he set out from the Demon Kingdom, the Imperial Master had not yet been surrounded and killed, but when he arrived in Beiguanzhou, the barbarian territory, he sensed the big commotion from the far south, caused by Jianzheng's promotion to the realm of Shenzang. .

So he stopped, waited, and received the message through the demon clan's communication treasure——

Ordinary news would not spread so fast, but when it came to such a major event as the death of the Imperial Master, which caused a sensation in the nine provinces, all the major forces spared no expense and spent a lot of resources to activate the magic circle.

From this, the old king learned that the reincarnated identity of the national master was that Ji Ping'an, who was killed by the Buddha himself. Also dead was the "Buddha Girl" who appeared on the battlefield for unknown reasons.

Absolutely.

But the Taoist priest claimed that not long ago, he saw the Great Zhou Imperial Master here. How could he not be shocked? Confuse?

"Is there someone pretending to be that Ji Ping'an, or..." The old king was frightened. If it was the former, it was nothing.

But if it's the latter...especially, it involves changes in the polar regions.

After a brief thought, he immediately prepared to leave, and then notified the Demon Kingdom and even Buddhism to make arrangements.

After all, he can't enter the Pole right now and must look for foreign aid.

Thinking of this, the old king's expression changed, and he casually crushed the flame in his hand, letting it turn into countless sparks and fall everywhere.

The blind old Taoist priest groaned and threw himself into the snow with tears of blood, trying in vain to catch the sparks with his hands, trying not to completely extinguish them.

The other barbarians remained silent, unable to move in complete fear.

The old king turned around to leave, but then thought of something and turned back, preparing to kill these insiders to prevent the news from leaking out.

However, at this moment, suddenly, the indestructible storm barrier in the canyon suddenly swayed with golden ripples, and a passage slowly emerged.

Then, in the eyes of people, a man in green shirt walked out of the storm.

The old king stopped for a moment, his eyes fixed on the person who came, as if comparing him with the appearance in the intelligence.

Moreover, through the induction of his spiritual consciousness, he was very sure that the person in front of him was not pretending.

Ji Ping'an's eyes swept across the scene. When he saw the blind man on the ground frantically picking up sparks, he paused and his expression became colder. He looked at the old man in front again and said expressionlessly:

"You're not dead yet."

When he said this, he assumed the identity of Li Yang.

As members of the same generation, Li Yang and the old king fought countless times, and in the final battle at the Boundary Mountain, the old king was shattered by Li Yang and his Taoist foundation was shattered.

Li Yang was also surrounded and killed by the powerful monsters he led and died of exhaustion.

Unexpectedly, we would meet here again after hundreds of years.

However, the old king didn't know that the person in front of him was Li Yang. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Zhou? You are not dead."

Great Zhou Guoshi? Did he call this young man Great Zhou Guoshi?

At this moment, the barbarians were stunned and looked at Ji Ping'an in disbelief, their eyes filled with confusion and suspicion.

Ji Ping'an said unexpectedly: "Have you already heard the news? In this case, I can't let you leave."

The old king smiled: "What a strong tone. You are worthy of being a master. You are obviously no longer as courageous as before. You can escape from the Buddha. It seems that you still have some trump cards hidden in your hands. However, Little one, you are still too young in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, an overwhelming storm of consciousness swept away!

As an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, he is one of the very few who is qualified to say this based on his age.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the person standing in front of him was also a thousand-year-old "monster".

Facing the storm that could destroy the soul of the monk sitting in the well, Ji Ping'an seemed not to be affected at all. The terrifying offensive was no different from the spring breeze to him.

The face of the old king suddenly changed, and the barbarians were also at a loss.

Ji Ping'an shook his head and said: "To deal with you, I don't need trump cards, strength is enough."

After a pause, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he added: "By the way, I almost forgot to mention that now, I am also... watching the sky."

The canyon is quiet.
