Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 114 Learning from the Scriptures?

After leaving Kunlun and traveling another eight thousand miles, the world suddenly changed, and a sense of wilderness rushed towards us.

Beasts roar on the earth, and ferocious birds fight across the sky.

Evil spirits and poisonous miasma can be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests. It cannot be said to be a poor mountain, but bad water is definitely there.

Although these ferocious beasts and birds have not yet developed their wits and refined their bones, they have been affected by the environment and have become physically strong and extremely ferocious existences from generation to generation.

Not to mention those little goblins and monsters in the Central Plains, even ordinary monks at the third or fourth level of Qi training would not be able to take much advantage against these ferocious beasts and ferocious birds.

Xu Li Baihong Jingtian, anyone with some spirituality knows not to mess with him.

In a mountain forest below, there was a great demon at the ninth level of qi training. He just raised his head and glanced at Bai Hong, then quickly burrowed hundreds of feet underground, fearing that a sword light would fall and be killed by this man.

But these ferocious birds were not afraid at all. When they saw Bai Hong intruding into their own airspace, they screamed, spread their wings, and their sharp claws glowed with cold light. They rushed towards Taibai Jianhong like moths flying into the flames.

It's just that although these ferocious birds are fierce, how can they show off their power in front of Xu Li? Before they get close, they are twisted into a ball of blood mist by the turbulence caused by Taibai Sword Hong's piercing the sky.

One ferocious bird dies, and more ferocious birds follow.

"You can see the whole leopard at a glance. These ferocious beasts and ferocious birds have only appeared in the past ten thousand years. When the gods and demons were in control in ancient times, these ferocious beasts and ferocious birds were probably ten times more powerful than they are today. How can human civilization survive such ferocious times?" To survive in the environment, the Demon Sect has great merits. The Yama Palace is the Yama Palace, and the Demon Sect is the Demon Sect. They cannot be treated as the same."

When he first started practicing, Xu Li thought that since the demon sect was a demon, they were all bad guys. However, as he practiced for a long time and came into contact with more practitioners, Xu Li felt that if this demon sect could be established as an authentic sect, it would definitely not be a sect. Fortunately.

Whether it is his practice philosophy of fighting against heaven and earth and fighting against gods and demons, or his daily style, he is worthy of the name of authenticity.

Although he is slightly weaker than the Taoists now, he has great stamina and a strong foundation. He may one day overpower the Taoists in the future. It is no wonder that the Taoists are obviously very unhappy with Buddhism, but they still want to hold on to this third child.

Now it seems that if the third eldest brother of the Buddhist sect and the second eldest brother of the Mo sect unite, the position of the boss will probably be unstable.

Thinking of this, I thought of King Peacock Ming again.

Before the Peacock King rebelled against Buddhism, the strength of Buddhism was not weaker than that of the Demon Sect.

What Taoists faced at that time was a situation where Buddhas and demons were eyeing each other.

Could it be that the rebellion of King Peacock Ming from Buddhism was the work of Taoists?

His thoughts became more divergent, he thought more and more, and the hairs on his body started to stand up.

Something is wrong, what are you thinking about?

Xu Li couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead and laughed at himself:

"No wonder the master said that my out-of-the-box thinking is not a good thing for achieving the soul. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. Are these things something you should consider? It is simply inexplicable."

He collected these messy thoughts again, twisted his sword energy, and killed all the ferocious birds that were rushing towards him. When his magic power was increased, the speed of Taibai's sword light increased again, and the sound of thunder that had not appeared for a long time reappeared.

The sword light disappears and appears from time to time, covering a distance of hundreds of miles between disappearing and reappearing. The speed has reached the extreme. Except for some special treasures that specialize in flying and escaping, unless the escaping method is practiced above the primordial spirit level, That is to say, the law has a vitality, otherwise it might not even be able to eat ashes.

As his golden elixir skills became more and more powerful, Xu's magical power increased greatly. Now that he was wielding the sword with all his strength, the light of Taibai sword became more and more frightening.

I also encountered several immortal demon kings along the way, but they all hid after seeing Taibai's sword light from a distance. Not to mention approaching to provoke them, the path that Taibai's sword light was going to pass through was far away. Stay away.

After flying for four or five days, the wild state gradually disappeared, and some smoke and large crops could be seen in the distance, but they were different from the rice and millet in the Central Plains, and Xu Li did not recognize what crops they were.

There was no need to bother him, and there was no need to ask for directions, because even though it was still thousands of miles away, a bright and infinite divine city on Mount Xumi was already imprinted in Xu Li's eyes.

Above the divine city, there is a huge peacock dressed in five colors, gathering the entire Sumeru Mountain under its wings.

The closer you get to Mount Sumeru, the denser the population becomes. It is said that this kingdom built by the Peacock King Ming is a demon kingdom, but from the looks of it, there are mostly humans and few demons.

It wasn't until they came to Mount Sumeru that the number of monsters gradually increased, but compared to humans, they were still less than one-tenth.

In order to show respect for the Peacock King, Xu Li did not fly directly to the top of Mount Sumeru, but landed at the bottom of the mountain and climbed on foot.

This Mount Sumeru is also one of the famous sacred mountains in China. It is the place where the two saints of the West became enlightened and was the original headquarters of Buddhism.

Now! Even if you don’t say it, it would be too insulting to Buddha.

Xu Li was wearing a Taoist robe, which was quite eye-catching. As soon as he reached the mountainside, he was stopped by someone, well, I should say it was a demon.

"Are you a Taoist priest from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"

The person who called Xu Li was a young monster of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was quite handsome and dressed in Buddhist attire. He only had long hair and had not been shaved.

Xu Li nodded and replied, "It's the Tang Dynasty from the East."

Seeing that Xu Li was indeed from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the young monster was quite familiar with him and said:

"Wow! You are really from the Tang Dynasty. My name is Lotus Boy, and I am one of the eight hundred attendants of King Ming. What is your name?"

This Lotus Boy's true form is a spirit made from a lotus flower. It has only been transformed for less than a hundred years. He is considered an extremely young monster. His cultivation level is not high, but he is not weak either. He is roughly at the same level as Xu Li.

"Xu Li has met Fellow Daoist Lotus." The Lotus boy looked quite innocent, with curiosity about the Eastern Tang Dynasty in his eyes.

"Lianhua has met fellow Daoist Xu Li." Boy Lianhua imitated Xu Li's salute somewhat lamely, and then asked, "Is this the etiquette of Dongtu?"

Xu Li smiled and nodded. "The Eastern Tang Dynasty is indeed a land of etiquette and civilization, hey." After saying this with envy, the lotus boy sighed suddenly. Xu Li didn't know what he was sighing for, and he didn't want to know, so he immediately smiled and complimented:

"I see that the Peacock Kingdom is also prosperous. Humans and monsters live in harmony. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. It is no worse than the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing Xu Li's compliment, Lotus Boy seemed to want to say something, but when there were others around him, he immediately shut up and asked instead:

"Are you here to see Lord Mingwang? I'll take you there!"

Although it was an inquiry, it was an affirmation. People came to ask to see the Peacock Ming King on weekdays. This was also the reason why Xu Li was not embarrassed even though he attracted attention.

Of course, the most important thing should be the decree promulgated by King Peacock Ming.

Xu Li did not refuse and thanked him.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is the responsibility of us attendants. Fellow Taoist Xu Li, follow me."

Along the stone steps, Lotus Boy also kept asking Xu Li about the Tang Dynasty.

The Lotus Boy knew the right things and asked questions about humanities, but Xu Li didn't hold back and always spoke frankly.

Although they were walking, they were all accomplished practitioners, and their speed was not slow. In about half an hour, they arrived at the top of Mount Sumeru.

Logically speaking, the higher the place, the more severe the wind and wind, making it unsuitable for living. However, under the protection of the Peacock King, the Great Guangming City on the top of Mount Sumeru is like spring all year round, with the sun shining and no chill at all.

This lotus boy's cultivation level is average, but his status seems to be quite high. Along the way, no matter whether he is a human or a demon, his cultivation level is high or low, when he sees this boy, he will stop, step aside, and ask him to go first.

Now that we have entered the Great Guangming City, it is even more the case. The journey is smooth and we arrive directly outside the Peacock Palace.

"Fellow Taoist Xu Li, please wait here while I go to report to Lord Ming."

Compared with the imperial city of Li Tang in the Central Plains, the Peacock Palace is not big. It is just a little bigger than the houses of wealthy families in the Central Plains. There are no people guarding it. Of course, no one in Chixian Shenzhou would dare to do so. Come here to be wild.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lotus."

Xu Li thanked him, and the lotus boy waved his hand and entered the palace.

Less than half an hour later, Lotus Boy came out of the palace, waved and said:

"Master Ming Wang has invited Taoist friend Xu Li."

Xu Li thanked him again and followed the Lotus Boy into the Peacock Palace.

Peacock Daming King is an extremely handsome young man, whose beauty cannot be described in words.

"Xu Li, Taibai Sword Sect, pays homage to King Ming Dynasty."

Xu Li bowed and presented the letter from Zen Master Zhi Gong with both hands.

The Peacock King of Ming Dynasty stretched out his hand, and the letter flew into his hand. He scanned it slightly, nodded and said:

"This is simple."

Compared with the golden body of the Peacock King on the top of Mount Sumeru, the real Peacock King is ordinary. He looks like he is just a handsome young king.

"Thank you, King Ming."

Xu Li bowed and bowed, feeling a little relaxed in his heart when he heard King Peacock Ming say:

"Su Mubai is not prepared to ask me to return his favor, so my help cannot be in vain. I also need you to do me a favor."

"Old monk, you are so unreliable." He complained in his heart, Xu Li bowed and asked, "But I don't know what the Ming Dynasty King needs from this junior?"

Xu Li didn't agree at all. Although King Ming looked like an ordinary young king, the golden body of King Ming, a peacock that covered the sky and covered the sky, could not be faked. If he agreed but couldn't do it, Xu Li could not do it. I don't think that the Ming Dynasty King will let him go easily, but don't fail to save people when the time comes, and it will be a big mistake to trap himself.

The Peacock Ming King did not pay attention to Xu Li's little thoughts and said directly:

"When I first established the Peacock Kingdom, I wanted humans and monsters to live in harmony. However, over the past ten thousand years, the problems have become more and more serious. The fact that the two races reproduce at different speeds is a major problem. Now it has reached a point where it must be solved. degree.

I intend to lead the demon clan to leave Chixian Shenzhou and open up a real demon world, but these people of the Peacock Kingdom are also my people. Without my protection, they will not be able to live. "

When Xu Li heard that King Peacock Ming was leaving China to open up the demon world, he was shocked at first, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really the best.

Monsters are monsters, spirits are spirits, and those ferocious beasts and birds are different from each other.

Monsters absorb the essence of the sun and moon, develop wisdom, and refine their crossbones before they can be called monsters. The conditions for their formation are much more difficult than that of spirits.

But human beings are naturally intelligent and reproduce quickly.

If it hadn't been for the suppression intentionally or unintentionally by the Peacock King, the human people of the Peacock Kingdom would not be able to practice.

These monsters are definitely no match for humans. The sheer number alone is a threshold that is difficult to cross.

The thoughts in his mind were racing, Xu Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said:

"Since King Ming believes in the equality of all things, he might as well complete this concept and compile it into Buddhist scriptures. When the Tang Dynasty in the East sends people to get the scriptures, they can also clean up the ferocious beasts and birds and the evil spirits and monsters along the way. Such a huge King Ming, you have left behind the Taoist tradition, and the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away in the west can prosper again, wouldn’t you kill two birds with one stone?”

Hearing that Xu Li had come up with such an idea, King Peacock Ming was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was feasible, but he did not agree immediately, but said:

"It's interesting, but I still need to think about it, that's fine! Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you have done your best, and I will accept your request."
