Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1077: Guarding
The night was gloomy, the black waves were surging, and a ray of silver light came from the sky, stopped halfway and rested for a while.

Then the silver light transformed into a middle-aged man in an elegant fur coat, with three points of silver light on his forehead. He was pinching magic formulas in his hands and looking around casually.

Liu Changdie has been living a much more comfortable life these days. The Demon King Xushui, sent by the Dragon Clan, has told him many of his plans. Although he still dares not go to the mainland, at least he can walk around in the East China Sea with the protection of the Dragon Clan and have some freedom.

But Liu Changdie's hesitation was not here, but about Fuxun.

After Li Ximing's reminder, Liu Changdie no longer dared to look for Fuxun casually. In such a long time, he only went there once today.

After all, Fuxun was well arranged, with no one to control him, so he lived a relatively comfortable life. The monsters under his command gradually became well-known in the sea, but the injuries on Fuxun's body became strange.

The wound on the surface had healed, but the damage was in the bone marrow, like a ulcer attached to the bone that could not be cured. Fu Xun was in great pain and kept asking him to find a monk from Shaoyang to help heal his wounds, which left Liu Changdie silent.

"In my current situation, I can't even leave the East China Sea. Where can I find a cultivator from Shaoyang Sect for him? I don't dare to trouble Ximing for this matter..."

He had no choice but to put this worry aside for the time being, and drifted towards the island, thinking about it, and soon he saw the big island in the distance.

This island is really strange and unusual. From a distance, it looks flat and there are no towering giant peaks. Instead, there are continuous low hills. The terrain becomes lower towards the middle, and is covered in light gray spiritual mist.

It is the world-famous [Shiqi].

However, he did not move forward. Instead, he turned around and headed towards the fairy mountain under his feet.

Liu Changdie actually knew a few Purple Mansions in the East China Sea. He had wandered around in the world before and had formed some connections with the Taoist traditions there. When he achieved Purple Mansion and returned, he continued the connection.

Now I come again, firstly for some personal matters, and secondly... for Xushui's advice back then:

"In the eyes of Lady Xuannv, it is not good for the barbarians to watch me, the beloved one of Si Tian, ​​fall..."

This is the name given by the Demon King Xushui himself!
Liu Changdie's level of cultivation is not high in Zifu, but his knowledge is definitely first-rate. How come he doesn't know "Si Tian"?
"Si Tian is Dou Xuan, who worships heaven and earth, develops magical powers, calculates the mysterious order, and monitors the eight directions..."

Liu Changdie certainly knew that this beloved of his must be his reincarnation, and that he was able to live to this day because of the Goddess of Pinshui... so he had to make some friends with her.

He stepped down from the clouds and soon stopped on the Xuan Mountain at the edge of the island. He informed his disciples, and immediately a gray color emerged and transformed into a person.

This person looked frail, and he walked lightly on the clouds. His face was as pale as paper, but his lips were red and rosy. His dark eyes stared at him and said:

"Liu Daoyou!"

Liu Changdie replied:
"Senior Cang Qizi, long time no see!"

The immortal nodded lightly and led him in. He asked about his recent situation with some concern, but Liu Changdie could not see that he had any special feelings for him. He sat down at the table and said expressionlessly:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, do you have something important to discuss?"

Liu Changdie knew that the 'cang cicada' in front of him was a layer of skin bag scattered by the female water magic. It was already very amazing that it could walk and talk. He didn't make any special expression and just asked about the movements in the East China Sea.

"It's not easy to ask about this matter. Let's test him first, and then ask about the female water."

Liu Changdie was just trying to start a conversation, but it seemed to hit upon what Zang Zhizi was worried about. He shook his head and said:
"It seems that fellow Daoist has also heard about this... In the depths of Zhulu Sea, many monsters were killed. A great demon king of Fushui who had been in seclusion for many years appeared. He fought many battles and destroyed many demon residences. The magical powers of those purple mansion monsters were far inferior to him, so they had to hide from the limelight for a while and went to other seas..."

"This can only be considered a rare event. It's just that the depths of Zhulu Sea are unusual, and the corpse of the Eighth Young Master is buried there, so it's extremely sensitive. That's why this matter has become such a big deal, attracting attention from all sides."

The so-called Zhu Lu Sea does not only refer to the color of the sea water. [Zhu Lu] actually means [Zhu Lu], which refers to the death of the Eighth Young Master. Liu Changdie naturally knew about it, but the two places were quite far apart, so it was not appropriate for this Immortal to care so much. After asking carefully, he saw that Cang Zhizi showed a bit of heartache:
"I refined a Lushui treasure there, but now I can't get it back. I don't know who took it away and gave it away for free."

Liu Changdie never left the East China Sea, not even to the edge of the East China Sea, so naturally he was not interested in this matter and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, you are proficient in the way of Yinshui, which was inherited from Yinshui Goddess. You are also studying Lushui?"

Zang Qizi's eyes changed slightly and he said with a smile:

"Female water is close to other waters, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Liu Changdie sensed the other party's taboo and asked about her vaginal discharge several times, but the other party smiled and perfunctorily passed the question, so he had no choice but to say:

"I sent someone here a few days ago. Is there any news about this [Guanyan Xuanguang]?"

This made the real person in front of him shake his head repeatedly and said:

"The 'Ji Mu' path is not known now. This thing is hard to find. Of all the things you asked about... there is only one thing that has information, and that is a 'Quan Dan' spiritual thing."

Liu Changdi was delighted and asked:

"This is true!"

The reason why Liu Changdie went to ask about the Purple Mansion of Shiqi was because this place was quite ancient and had many spiritual objects, and the female water healing ability was among the best. This Zang Cicada could often get favors from others, so it was most likely that he had these things in his hands!
When he sent people over, he not only asked about the spiritual objects he was missing and the Taoist tradition of "Ku Jin", but he also kept his eyes open and inquired about the spiritual objects of the "Quan Dan" category - naturally, it was for Li Quewan.

Li Ximing had asked him about Li Quewan's spiritual object. Liu Changdie didn't have one himself, but he felt sorry for him:
"This is the [Six-phase Ritual Color], which ranks among the top three among all the Dan spiritual objects. I'm afraid it is the only one in Wanlingtian!"

Now my heart is naturally filled with joy:

"The spiritual objects I want to ask about are too rare. I have been looking for them for so many years but have not found them. It is normal that they are not found here, but it is also fortunate that there is news about "Quan Dan"!"

When Zang Cicada heard what he said, he laughed and said:

"What's so fake about this... Many of the full-dan spiritual objects have been looted by the Jinyu Sect, and they are no longer found in ordinary places. Only in the West Sea is there a sect that cultivates the 'full-dan'."

"His family originally had a great master named Quan Dan, but he died a few years ago, so the disciples' situation became increasingly difficult. Now they have come to me specifically to exchange for the female water to heal their wounds."

Liu Changdie suddenly realized, and said with a sense of loss:

"I see... Actually, I have also thought about the West Sea, but something happened and it is not convenient to contact the people in the West Sea... In the end, after going around in circles, I still want the West Sea. I wonder what it is?"

Zang Qizi spread out his palm, and saw a flash of red sand in his palm that was constantly rolling and jumping. The immortal said:
"【Zhumiao Jinya Sand】!"

Liu Changdie was not surprised. A hint of understanding flashed across his brows and he sighed:

"As expected! It must be the Mercury Platform!"

Zang Cicada shook his head and said:

"It's good to know, no need to mention it."

The [Xing Mercury Platform] mentioned by Liu Changdie was originally a major sect in the West Sea. It was once very prosperous. The great immortal Miaoqi made steady progress and in his later years he surpassed the level of San Zi and became one of the top figures in the world.

Unfortunately, there was turmoil in the West Sea, and the great Immortal Miaoqi died suddenly. Another Taoist sect, the [Xifu Dongyuan Sect], came to power and a great battle broke the backbone of the [Xinghengtai], and it has been gone since then... This [Zhumiao Jinya Sand] is exactly the powerful spiritual object in the hands of the Immortal [Xinghengtai]!

Liu Changdie traveled all over the world and had traces in the West Sea. He knew the people of Xing Mercury Platform, so he felt a little melancholy. Zang Cicada was much more ruthless and said with a smile:

"This thing is between the two paths of element and gold, and is good at transforming into a rain of cinnabar treasures all over the sky. If it can be refined into a magic weapon or into a spell, it will definitely have unimaginable benefits, comparable to water and fire!"

Spiritual water and spiritual fire have values ​​beyond those of ordinary spiritual objects. Cang Zhizi used this as a comparison, obviously to emphasize its value. Liu Changdie quickly took out the jade box from his sleeve and showed it to the immortal. However, Cang Zhizi shook his head repeatedly and said:

"I only hope for the [One Qi White Huan Stone]!"

Liu Changdie was in a dilemma, because the [Yiqi Baihuan Stone] on him was used to exchange for [Guanyan Xuanguang], so how could he use it in advance?

"But if he doesn't use the [One Qi White World Stone], he won't be interested in other spiritual objects, so he will definitely add a lot more before he is willing to exchange it..."

He hesitated again and again, opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

Even though he treated the Li family as his own, he obviously couldn't make up his mind in an instant when he encountered such a valuable item that would drain all his savings. He thought for a moment and said:
"Please keep this for me, Senior. I will go and raise some money and ask around to find something of equal value to exchange for this item."

Zang Zhizi naturally nodded and escorted him out of the mountain. Liu Changdie held his hand and begged him again and again:

"I know that the 'Complete Pill' spiritual object is rare nowadays, and many sects are looking for it everywhere... But this spiritual object is very important to me, please keep it for me, and I will come to exchange it soon!"

……

The summer leaves are falling in the mountains, and the autumn leaves are turning yellow again. On the jade table in the deep cave, there are two jade boxes made of white jade, shining brightly in the light of the bright sun. The real person sitting in the cave exhales slowly and opens his eyes.

He stood up and shook his sleeves. The injuries on his body had healed by more than half, and there was no sign of any fluctuations in his aura. This was obviously beyond Li Ximing's expectations. He counted with his fingers and was slightly surprised:

'It has been more than a year since I wrote to Yang Ruiyi...'

Li Ximing was slightly disappointed, as he estimated that Situ Huo had already taken over Jiangbei and it would be difficult for him to escape. However, he was mentally prepared and did not seem disappointed.

"Looks like I'll have to find another opportunity..."

The jade in his sleeve kept buzzing. Li Ximing took a step forward and left the cave. As expected, he saw Chengqian Zhenren standing in front of the cave with his hands behind his back, wandering back and forth. He smiled when he saw him, and his first sentence was:

"Congratulations fellow Taoist!"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned and asked:

"Why are you so happy?"

Chengqian Zhenren extended his hand to invite him out, smiling and lowering his head to explain:
"There's news from the mountains about the garrison deployment!"

So he untied the golden scroll in his hand and handed it to Li Ximing. There were dozens of words written on it, which roughly meant... to let Xian Yao Zhenren and Sima Yuanli come to Caishan, while Li Ximing and Cheng Qian would set off immediately to Jinghai to quell the demon rebellion.

Chengqian explained:
"Many witch kingdoms in the south have already been attacked and destroyed, and there are chaos everywhere. When Master Zhusheng came to the north, the group of demon kings suddenly lost their intimidation and shamelessly tested us... That's why you and I have to go!"

If it were a year ago, Li Ximing would have smiled knowingly, knowing that it was Yang Ruiyi who gave him this face. However, a whole year had passed, which made him a little confused. He just suppressed his doubts, bowed and returned the golden scroll, stepped out of the cave, and sure enough, he saw Qinghu Sima Yuanli waiting at the door.

The two of them said nothing more, and rode the wind together to say goodbye, breaking into the dark void and heading south at a high speed.

After leaving the mountain, Master Chengqian looked much more relaxed. Li Ximing also breathed a sigh of relief. When he had some free time, he frowned and said:
"For no apparent reason, there was a transfer... Has the situation changed in this year?"

Chengqian Zhenren said:

"Fellow Daoist is in seclusion to practice and heal his wounds. I dare not disturb him... But there have been many changes in this year. There were no big fights. Caishan was only tested by one or two people who seemed to want to know who was stationed there."

"But there are some big things happening at Boring Mountain."

Li Ximing gave him a puzzled look, and Chengqian Zhenren said:

"As soon as Daoist friend went into seclusion, news came from the mountain. The governor Situ blocked the troops from the north and arrived at Tongdao. But he was suddenly ordered to go south to the Song court to see the emperor. After seeing him for several months... the immortal... had to stay in the north."

His words made Li Ximing think deeply, and he immediately understood:
"Yang Ruiyi was unable to return to the wilderness... but stayed at Boring Mountain..."

"How did General Yang react?"

Chengqian Zhenren said:
"I haven't heard of any reaction, but it's said privately that the north should have a big move and must take back the Great Yuan Guangyin Mountain... This will allow General Yang to continue to guard here."

Before Li Ximing opened his mouth, Cheng Qian continued with a smile:

"In theory, there should only be a ceremony of worship to call him back, but Situ Jiedu refused to come back. He stayed in the court for a long time, asking the Song court to gather the remaining bloodline of the Situ family and allow him to rebuild the clan."

Li Ximing narrowed his eyes slightly, realized Situ Huo's intention, and asked:
"How should your Majesty answer him?"

Chengqian Zhenren looked very polite, and it was hard to tell what his stance was. He just said:

"The Situ family has long lost its direct descendants. Fortunately, after careful investigation, we found that when Tongdao Mountain collapsed, Ziyan Fudi gathered a group of Situ family's side branches. They are still in Yufu and have been given to Senior Situ."

He said with emotion:

"It took a year, and Senior Situ only arrived at Boring Mountain a month ago. Our transfer should have been ordered by Lord Yang before he left."

After hearing this, Li Ximing calculated in his mind and remained silent for a long time:
'The real Situ family's direct descendants are still in the hands of Shi Xiu. Situ Huo has become a hot figure in the south, and the fate of those direct descendants has also risen...'

He was thinking about it when he saw Cheng Qian said seriously:

"Thank you, Daoist Brother Zhao Jing!"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned and turned to look at him:
"He also knows that it is thanks to me that he doesn't have to stay at Caishan anymore... Now everyone is injured, whoever stays at the northernmost part may be in trouble... He is really perceptive!"

So he laughed and shook his head, and did not answer him directly, but smiled and said:

"When I get to the South China Sea, I still have some personal matters to deal with, so I might have to trouble Chengqian."

The young man looked at him thoughtfully and said hurriedly:

"Lian understands! Please don't worry!"

His injuries had improved a lot, and he no longer had to guard the mountain of materials. Li Ximing was in a good mood. He took out a talisman from his sleeve and used his divine power to sense:
"Qu Si... still needs to head south."
