Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"The secret of heaven is a little clearer."

Wang Ba stood in front of Chunyang Palace with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky, counting with his hands, his eyes thoughtful.

He did not deduce the giant elephant Moro or the spiritual beast of Taoism, and they still could not be deduced.

What he calculated was Taoist Bing's journey ahead.

Although it was vague because it involved the Taoist spirit beast, at this moment, a little spiritual light was faintly revealed.

This also means that although the secret of the sky is still unclear, Taoist Bing's actions on Beihai Continent have cleared away a little of the fog that shrouded the front.

"That is to say, the ancestor of the Qin family who has mended the sky, Qin Dengyuan, is indeed causally involved with those monks from Xituozhou who fled..."

Wang Hao thought carefully and deduced the situation that Taoist Bing might encounter next.

But not long after, he frowned and put down his calculating palm.

"The time has not come yet... What kind of opportunities does this Beihai Continent contain?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt something in my heart.

After counting with his fingers, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself:
"What a coincidence."

After that, he looked down.

Not long after, a disciple flew over in a hurry from the Diwu Palace.

He saluted respectfully and said:
"Deputy sect leader, the head of the Qin family wants to see you."

Wang Hao nodded slightly, without any surprise on his face, and nodded:
"welcome."

After saying that, he returned to Chunyang Palace.

The sect leader, Qu Shentong, was away. Although he could not violate the etiquette and sit in the sect leader's position, there was no problem in using Chunyang Palace to meet the head of the Qin family.

Not long after, Ma Shengxu, the master of the Diwu Palace, personally led Qin Shengyong over.

Qin Shengyong came here through the teleportation array of the Diwu Palace. As the master of the Diwu Palace, Ma Shengxu naturally did not dare to neglect him.

When he saw Wang Ba, Qin Shengyong saluted enthusiastically and said:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, the last time Yazonghai turned the tide and avoided the disaster of the Jin Dynasty, I never had time to be grateful..."

Wang Hao laughed softly and said:

"The leader of the Qin family has made a serious statement. There are three sects and one clan in the Jin Dynasty. There is no distinction between them. How can there be any words of gratitude?"

"Fellow Daoist Wang is a great righteous man, he is truly an accomplished scholar!"

Qin Shengyong couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether they really thought so or just making fun of it, the two of them chatted for a while in Chunyang Palace.

Seeing that Wang Ba remained motionless, chatting and laughing happily, he had no intention of asking about his purpose.

After all, Qin Shengyong lacked concentration and couldn't bear it anymore. He said with a hint of embarrassment on his face:

"To be honest, Friend Wang, Qin came to your sect with an unkind invitation."

"Oh?"

Wang Ba seemed a little surprised and said in surprise:

"An unkind invitation? Where do you start talking about this?"

Now that he had spoken, Qin Shengyong no longer tried to hide his words, and said nervously:

"Qin heard that the Zhongsheng Continent can allow cultivators to transform into gods, and your sect also has a teleportation array there. Now I have an uncle from the Qin family who has finally perfected his Taoism and wants to sprint towards transforming into gods, so... …”

When Wang Bao heard this, he seemed to suddenly realize: "This is what the Master of the Qin family is doing."

Qin Shengyong said embarrassedly:

"Yes, Qin also knows that there is something wrong with this. After all, it must have been very expensive for your sect to build a teleportation array spanning such a distance."

He immediately said:

"However, I, the Qin family, are also willing to share part of the cost of this teleportation array. I only hope that your sect can give my descendants of the Qin family a chance."

Although Zhongshengzhou is far away from Fenglinzhou, it is not scary.

It's just that whether they encounter Yuanqi riots or many ferocious beasts, ordinary Yuanying monks cannot deal with them.

After the heavenly change, the Qin family's decline became even more serious. It was extremely difficult and risky to rely on the Qin family's strength to travel to Zhongsheng Continent alone.

As for Qin Lingxiao, he could not be contacted for a long time.

In this way, after considering many aspects, it became the best choice to borrow the path from Wanxiang Sect.

This is exactly what Qin Shengyong was considering.

This is also a situation that Wang Ba is well aware of.

But what shocked Qin Shengyong was that the extremely young deputy sect leader of Wanxiang Sect shook his head and laughed.

Qin Shengyong couldn't help but hesitate:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what does this mean?"

But I heard Wang Ba laugh and say:

"Why is the Master of the Qin family so estranged? Our families have known each other for tens of thousands of years, and we have an irreversible relationship. It's just a teleportation array, but the Master of the Qin family has been asked to come in person."

"Master Qin just needs to talk to Palace Master Ma. As for the expenses, if our Wanxiang Sect accepts them, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the two founders? Don't mention the expense again!"

"This……"

Qin Shengyong was surprised and happy when he heard this, but couldn't help but hesitate:

"Where is the Ke Qu Sect Master..."

Wang Yan suddenly looked unhappy:

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter. If Sect Leader Qu knew about it, he would only blame me for bothering him with this trivial matter. I can resolve this matter in one word."

Then he started laughing again:
"Speaking of which, the Qin family leader and I hit it off right away. Now that the Qin family leader is here, it would be better to have a banquet here, and you and I will have a drink."

"How do you do this?"

Although Qin Shengyong was moved, he still declined.

However, he still couldn't resist Wang Ba's hospitality. He saw two masters of the three halls coming, and several great monks who had perfected the Nascent Soul to accompany them. After three or five cups of Immortal Drunkenness, even Qin Shengyong didn't realize how much he had. In his drunken state, he also started talking closely with Wang Yan and others.

Speaking of hot spots, Qin Shengyong felt that it was too late to meet him and couldn't help but hold Wang Ba's hand:

"I hate that I didn't meet my Taoist friend earlier. I am two or three hundred years older than my Taoist friend. If your Taoist friend doesn't give up, you and I might as well become sworn brothers..."

"This, this can't happen..."

Wang Ba's mouth was full of the aroma of spiritual wine, and he was drunk and drowsy. He seemed to be overwhelmed by the alcohol. He waved his hands resolutely when he heard the words.

It looks a bit different from the past.

It's just that Qin Shengyong is also a great monk of Yuanying after all. Although he drank a lot of spiritual wine, his observation ability is still there, but he saw a trace of sadness on Wang Bao's drunken state. He frowned and said:
"Did you encounter something difficult, fellow Taoist? Why can't you enjoy yourself even while drinking?"

"No, it's okay..."

Wang Hao waved his hand.

The sadness on his face seemed to be getting deeper.

Qin Shengyong had a close friendship with him, so he was willing to give in when he saw the situation. However, as the head of the family, even if he was ordered to be in danger, he was still somewhat quick-witted. He changed his mind and pretended to be unhappy:
"I thought that my Taoist friend and I were already close friends in the world, and we had no doubts about each other, but I didn't expect that the Taoist friend would still be so secretive."

When Wang Ba heard this, he seemed to have sobered up a bit, and said with a wry smile:
"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood... To be honest with you, this is a private matter. My incarnation went to a treasured place in Beihai Continent to practice. As a result, I happened to meet the former monk of Xituo Continent and occupied this place."

"A monk from Xituozhou?"

Qin Shengyong suddenly sobered up a bit. Hearing this, his expression became slightly solemn and he said:
"After the heavenly change, I hardly heard any news about them. It turned out that they went to Beihai Continent. Fellow Taoist incarnations should be careful and careful."

When the sky changed, Ciwu, the god of Xituozhou, took the lead in mending the sky with his body, and there were many followers. All living beings in the Xiaocang world must remember this sentiment.

But compassion is compassion. Those sages and saints who patched up the sky are indeed worthy of admiration, but the surviving monks of Xituozhou may not all be kind people.

The two cannot be treated as equals.

Qin Shengyong has taken over the Qin family for more than a hundred years, so naturally he will not be so naive.

Wang Bao also nodded when he heard this:

"I have a way to deal with it..."

But when the conversation changed, another thing came up:

"I wonder where my ancestor, Deng Yuan Gong, went when the sky changed in the past?"

"grandfather?"

When Qin Shengyong heard this name, he couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know why Wang Yan mentioned him, but then he showed a look of nostalgia on his face, as if he was also longing for the glory of the Qin family when Qin Dengyuan was around.

He recalled in a deep voice:

"When the sky changed, my ancestor was covered with scars. He hurriedly returned and left me the family leader's seal and magic weapon. Then he mended the sky with great enthusiasm, and my father and several elders also left with him..."

Although the words are calm and concise, one can feel the generosity and tragedy in them.

He seemed to have suddenly returned to that day that he would never forget.

However, being favored by Qin Dengyuan and chosen as the head of the Qin family, Qin Shengyong's loss of composure only happened for a moment. He quickly regained his composure and said with some confusion:
"Why do fellow Taoists mention this?"

Wang Ba did not hide anything and said immediately:
"My incarnation learned from the mouths of these monks that our ancestor, Duke Yuan Dynasty, killed many of the world-eater clones that sneaked into the world during the heavenly change, thus saving me, Feng Linzhou, from a catastrophe. This move has also been missed by these monks.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Qin Shengyong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and then suddenly realized:
"No wonder I didn't think the injury was caused by a monk. The situation was chaotic at the time and I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, it seems to be right."

At this time, he also reacted quickly:

"Since these monks remember the kindness of our ancestors, why don't I go there in person, maybe I can solve this matter for my fellow Taoists."

"This...that Beihai Continent is dangerous..."

Wang Yan looked hesitant.

Qin Shengyong said firmly:
"Fellow Taoist, remember the friendship between our families. Could it be that I, Mrs. Qin, am an ungrateful person?"

"Besides, you and I have a very close personal relationship. Not to mention the danger, even if there are thousands of people, I will go too!"

Wang Hao couldn't help but look moved.

However, Qin Shengyong's momentum weakened immediately, and he added in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Ahem, of course, if they don't admit it... the Qin family has been badly hurt, and they haven't recovered yet..."

Although he drank, he was not really drunk.

It's okay to show up, but if you really want to use the Qin family's wealth, that's absolutely not possible.

Wang Yan could see why Qin Dengyuan chose this grandson to be the head of the family. Among other things, he was able to bend and stretch, and he could also be humble and small. His talent may not be outstanding, but it is the most suitable for the current situation of the Qin family. .

He smiled and said:
"It's enough to have these words from fellow Taoists."

Isn’t that why you have been working so hard?
They were all great Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were all vigorous and resolute people. Soon, the banquet dispersed in a hurry.

The figures of the two people quickly disappeared.

……

"Tan Yue wants to enter the ice abyss?"

Hearing Taoist Bing's words, Youping held Bai Zi's fingers for a moment and couldn't help but look at him with a look of shock on his face.

In front of the underground ice temple.

Taoist Bing, who was dressed in white robes, sat opposite the skinny Youping, each holding a black and white piece of money, playing chess and talking in a low voice.

"Exactly, I came to Beihai Continent here to take a step further. Master Youping can also tell that what I practice is the way of extreme cold ice soul. I have practiced here in the past." Bing Taoist With a calm face, he replied calmly.

"This……"

Youping couldn't help but look ashamed:

"I can't wait any longer and occupy this place... But the 'venerable' is there, and Uncle Zhaojie volunteers to protect the venerable. If Tan Yue wants to enter this place, he may not care if the venerable dragon sees its head but not its tail. But Master Zhaojie’s side is..."

He didn't say any more, but the meaning was very clear.

Taoist Bing's expression remained unchanged and he asked:
"So, as long as Master Zhongjie nods, I can enter it and practice?"

Youping hesitated for a moment, thinking of the fact that he had been rescued by the other party before, and the identity of the other party's Dajin monk, and finally nodded:

"Tan Yue is really smart."

Taoist Bing's expression remained indifferent, he just looked at Youping and said sincerely:

"Then I need to ask Master Youping to lend a helping hand."

However, Youping had guessed what Taoist Bing was thinking and smiled:
"Tan Yue doesn't need to say much, I will make arrangements for Tan Yue, but according to Master Jie's character... he is a little stubborn, he may not agree... to Tan Yue."

He pointed to the chessboard below.

Taoist Bing glanced at the situation on the chessboard below, then gently put down the chess pieces in his hand and shook his head slightly:
"No need, it's over."

Youping was startled and couldn't help looking down at the chessboard. He looked at it three times before finally seeing a clue.

Suddenly a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he dropped the white piece in his hand and sighed again and again:
"It makes Tan Yue laugh. Although Tan Yue's chess skills have no rules and routines, they are straight to the point. There are no moves to win. There is peace everywhere, but murderous intentions everywhere. With a single thought, the world will turn upside down. I am far inferior, far inferior. !”

Taoist Bing's face was calm.

His mind is pure and calm, almost ruthless, without any messy thoughts, so he can do whatever he wants without going beyond the rules, and act as he pleases without being restrained. Even though he is not good at playing chess, the same is true for Youping, so how can he be his? opponent.

After Youping sighed for a while, he didn't waste time and went to the Arctic Ice Abyss in person.

After Youping came back, he also brought some pretty good news to Taoist Bing:

"Uncle Zhaojie Master Gu Nian Tan Yue rescued us before, so he agreed to see Tan Yue. Tan Yue can make preparations, and I will take Tan Yue there."

Taoist Bing was very straightforward:

"No need to prepare, let's go right away."

Youping couldn't help but hesitate, and then reminded him from the side:

"Uncle Zhaojie is an upright and resolute man, but he also lacks patience. If he cannot be persuaded this time, I'm afraid..."

Taoist Bing just said:
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Seeing that Taoist Bing seemed confident, Youping could only sigh helplessly:

"Okay, Tan Yue, please come with me."

After that, he took Taoist Ice and left the underground ice temple.

The underground ice temple was not far from the Arctic Ice Abyss, so it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive near the Arctic Ice Abyss.

However, even though Youping was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the coldness in the Arctic Ice Abyss was not something he could bear, and he had to stop where he was when he was still some distance away from the Ice Abyss.

He wanted to accompany Taoist Bing, but was stopped by Taoist Bing, so he had no choice but to retreat further away.

In the ice abyss, the arrival of the two men seemed to be sensed, and the figure of a shirtless monk slowly gathered in mid-air.

Seeing Youping being forced to retreat, the shirtless old monk couldn't help but shake his head:

"The five aggregates are all empty. You have practiced for so long, but you still can't penetrate this 'color emptiness', and you still have to suffer from this ice disaster."

Even though Youping had tried his best to resist, his body was still white and his whole body was shaking with cold.

Hearing this, he couldn't even say anything. He could only clasp his hands together and a hint of shame flashed in his eyes.

When Taoist Bing saw this scene, he raised his palm and closed it, and the cold current around Youping suddenly poured into his body.

Youping suddenly felt much better, and the frost on his body melted away.

However, the shirtless old monk could not help but frown and said:

"Even if you help him for a while, you can't help him forever. This road is the road to self-enlightenment, and no one can really help him."

Taoist Bing's face was cold, and it did not change because the other party was in the realm of god transformation. He replied indifferently:

"Since there is no one to help, how can we ask for the words of fellow Taoists? Fellow Taoists are friends who are moving forward with the same path. You help me, and I will help you take one step further. That's all."

Hearing this, the shirtless old monk hesitated slightly and frowned, but in the end he said nothing more.

And Youping, who had recovered, could not help but feel a flash of warmth in his eyes, and he clasped his hands in a salute to Taoist Bing:
"Thank you Tan Yue for your help."

Taoist Bing just shook his head.

The shirtless old monk immediately looked at Taoist Bing, looked at him carefully, and then finally said:

"Old monk, listen to what You Ping said, do you want to enter the ice abyss here to practice?"

Taoist Bing nodded and said:

"Exactly, please allow Master Zhaojie to agree."

The shirtless old monk 'Zhao Jie' looked slightly restrained when he heard this. He couldn't see any changes in his emotions. He just said in a low voice:
"You saved Youping, and the old monk should have accepted the retribution of karma, but this is where the Venerable is. The Venerable saved all of us... You saved Youping, and the old monk is willing to give you another chance." reward.”

Taoist Bing was unmoved and replied calmly:

"What the master said is wrong. I rescued Master Youping out of my true heart. I wanted to express my gratitude to the former Master Ciwu and all the great sages of my ancestors. Could it be that I came here for the reward that the master said?"

"Besides, how can saving people be judged based on how many people there are?"

"I save one person, and I save ten people. One person is empty, and ten people are also empty. Since they are all empty, there is a difference in cultivation level between me and the Venerable, but what is the difference in our actions? Master uses this To distinguish between high and low, it can be seen that the way of 'color and emptiness' has not been clearly understood."

"This……"

Hearing Taoist Bing's words, Youping couldn't help but look anxious.

This Dajin monk is really hard to hear!

Although the theory is such a theory, it doesn't sound right.

Seeing that Uncle Zhaojie's face turned dark, he quickly trembled to smooth things over.

Half of it is that my body is too cold, and half of it is that my heart is too cold:

"Uncle Zhaojie, this Tan Yue didn't mean that..."

Unexpectedly, the shirtless old monk suddenly laughed:
"Okay! I didn't expect that Tan Yuefei, who is from Xituozhou, actually understands the true meaning of my ascetic."

Bing Taoist's face was expressionless:
"They are all martial arts books captured on the battlefield in the past. I read some randomly while practicing."

After hearing this, the shirtless old monk's face finally sank:

"You have angered the old monk so much, aren't you afraid that the old monk will take action?"

Taoist Bing was not afraid at all:

"If the master takes action and repays kindness with evil, it shows that karma is not true."

He is not stupid and dares to provoke the cultivator of the Transformation God for no reason.

In fact, his pure heart was like a mirror, reflecting all the emotional waves of the beings around him.

But the old monk Zhaojie's mood showed no murderous intention from the beginning to the end.

Even quite peaceful. It is obvious that Youhei does not really understand this senior.

Sure enough, in the face of Taoist Bing's words, the shirtless old monk Zhaojie's mood was still like an ancient well, without any disturbance.

He just said quietly:
"There is indeed no difference in saving people, but there is a difference in how many people are saved."

"There is no need to test Tan Yue anymore. If Tan Yue has no other reason, the old monk cannot let Tan Yue enter here and disturb the purity of the venerable person."

Taoist Bing was not surprised when he saw that the other party had revealed his thoughts. However, the other party's repeated mention of 'Venerable' made him a little curious:
"May I ask Master, who is this 'venerable'?"

The old monk remained silent this time, with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. Apparently he didn’t want to answer this question. He just broke his rosary beads and said:
"If Tan Yue has nothing else to say, please come back."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to cooperate, Taoist Bing had no choice but to take out something from his sleeve.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a Zhuniao Token.

After the injection of mana, two figures appeared out of thin air in front of Taoist Bing at almost the same moment.

"Ok?"

The shirtless old monk Zhaojie couldn't help but look at one of the visitors in surprise, then looked at Taoist Bing, and then suddenly realized:
"It's actually an incarnation!?"

One of the visitors, a young monk, saluted the old monk and Youping respectively and said with a smile:

"I, Wang Ba, of the Wanxiang Sect, have met these two masters."

A monk wearing a dragon robe next to him also quickly bowed:
"I, Qin Shengyong, of the Qin family in the Jin Dynasty, have met you two."

Zhaojie hadn't noticed Qin Shengyong at first, but when he heard Qin Shengyong's voice and saw the dragon robe Qin Shengyong was wearing, he was suddenly startled and turned his head to look at Qin Shengyong carefully.

Then he couldn't help but feel the breath of Qin Shengyong's body carefully.

His complexion finally changed slightly:

"You, you are..."

Qin Shengyong smiled calmly:
"The ancestor of the family, Ba Dengyuan, was a great practitioner in the late stage of becoming a god. He killed countless demons from outside the realm, and then repaired the sky and left."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and saluted respectfully towards the sky. A scroll of Qin Dengyuan's portrait flew out from his storage artifact.

He is a tall and majestic man, half as tall as a man, with a full beard and wide eyes. Although it is a painting, it is extremely expressive.

Seeing this painting, Zhao Jie and You Ping were shocked and recognized it.

He quickly saluted Qin Dengyuan's portrait.

Half a day later.

Wang Ba and Qin Shengyong disappeared outside the ice abyss.

"You can go there, but remember, don't go deep into it and disturb the purity of the venerable one."

With Qin Shengyong's intervention, these monks from Xitaozhou indeed remembered Qin Dengyuan's kindness, and there was room for compromise.

Zhaojie only hesitated for a while and then agreed to Taoist Bing's request.

Naturally, the Ice Taoist would not waste such an opportunity, even if he fell into the Arctic Ice Abyss.

It's just that it's very different from the last time he was here. The pure ice aura is not full. It only becomes richer as you go deeper.

The Ice Taoist kept flying downwards, feeling the ice aura around him becoming more and more abundant, and he felt more and more comfortable.

The Taoist meaning contained in Yuanying also began to become active and gradually became more perfect...

The cultivation methods recorded in the "Bing Soul Shedding Divine Notes" had new feelings in his mind.

He couldn't help but recall some of the previous instructions given by his wife. Now that he thought about it, it was a new and different kind of experience.

That kind of enlightenment and the joy of getting better and better filled his body and mind.

In this realization, he completely forgot about the passage of time. He didn't know how long it had been before his body slowly sank downwards.

There was a cold current coming from below, and his descent was extremely slow.

On this very day.

He suddenly heard a loud scolding sound like thunder exploding in his ears:

"Don't come any closer, Tan Yue, to the place where the Venerable lives!" (End of this chapter)
