Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 116: Buddhism has not spread eastward, but Taoism has taken root

Having temporarily settled his affairs, Xu Li felt relaxed for a while. During this period, he ran from east to north, and then to the far west.

Although my cultivation is successful and my body is not tired, my heart is very tired.

Now that there is no burden on me, I feel relieved for a while, but at the same time, I don't know where to go.

When we returned to Taibai Mountain, there were no people on the mountain. The real master wanted to refine the four immortal swords of form and matter, so he probably didn't have time to give him any guidance.

Senior Brother Chen Taizhen, who is my best friend, is in Xiaofeitian Realm, Senior Brother Xu Wen is honing himself in Jietian Pass in order to gain his soul, and Senior Sister Xu Hongxiu has a sweet and affectionate relationship with Shang Quezi in Huashan Mountain. It is even more inappropriate to go and be a lightbulb by herself.

When we went to Jinghu Lake, the old monk was not there, and it was not very interesting. After thinking about it for a while, he was the true successor of Taibai Sword Sect, and he was now considered a famous figure in the world, but he had nowhere to go?

"I used to be busy practicing and running around. Now I want to practice in seclusion, but I have nowhere to go. It seems that I have to have my own cave. Otherwise, it will be really uncomfortable when times like this happen again."

After thinking about it, there was nowhere to go, so Xu Li didn't want to rush back to the Central Plains any more. He thought of finding a random place and completing the golden elixir practice first.

Although the golden elixir resources are sufficient, it will still take some time to refine them all.

Innate things are the most pure and require less time.

Although the Jiutai Qionghua Pill is also a top-grade elixir created for people to be nourished. It has almost no impurities mixed with grass and trees, but after all, it is not as pure as the innate thing. It takes about half a month to refine one pill. It is a refining pill. Three or four times the amount of innate things.

Xu Lizheng was standing at the door of the palace, hesitating whether to return to the Central Plains and then retreat, or to practice in this western land until the golden elixir was perfected and then go back. The Lotus Boy who had been waiting outside saw him and stepped forward and asked:

"Fellow Taoist Xu Li, have you finished your work?"

Xu Li nodded, cupped his fists and thanked:

"I would also like to thank fellow Taoist for guiding me."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Lotus Boy waved his hand and asked:

"Are you going back to the Tang Dynasty?"

"I have nothing else to do at the moment. I am considering whether to go back now."

Hearing that Xu Li was still thinking about it, Lotus Boy was overjoyed and invited:

"If Fellow Taoist Xu Li is not in a hurry to go back, can you stay for a few days and allow us to ask you some Tang Dynasty etiquette?"

Say it! He seemed to be a little embarrassed and explained: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the East is the center of China in Chixian County. We have always wanted to visit it, but we are restricted and do not know the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and the culture of the East, so we have been hesitant to go there. "

Hearing what Lotus Boy said, Xu Li was moved in his heart. He gave King Peacock the Ming Dynasty an idea to 'learn scriptures'. There was a public intention in it, but there was also a selfish intention.

Naturally, the public spirit is as he said, to clean up the beasts, birds, spirits and demon kings along the way.

As for selfishness, it is simple. Let Buddhism be divided into two parts. From the lineage of the two saints Longjia, there is a branch of Maurya Buddhism's Mahayana Buddhism.

But this method is not without its consequences. Although the Buddhist sect's luck will be affected by another lineage of Buddhism, overall the sect's luck will definitely increase.

Now that the lotus boy is talking about 'us', he must not be just one person, but a group of people. Taking this opportunity, the younger generation of the Peacock Kingdom can plant the heart of seeking Taoism.

Since it is possible to learn the Buddhist teachings and spread them eastward, it is natural that the teachings can also be spread westward. Well, this method is feasible.

With a plan in mind, Xu Li immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lotus Boy was overjoyed and took Xu Li to his dojo.

The Lotus Boy's dojo is not in Great Guangming City, but in a lotus pond on the other side of Mount Sumeru.

"Is this an innate parallel lotus?" Xu Li's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at the twin lotuses with green-gold aura hanging down in the center of the lotus pond.

"Yeah." Lotus Boy nodded and said, "This is my body before I transformed. Lord Ming Wang also said it was called Xiantian Bingdilian."

"No wonder this lotus boy has such a high status. It turns out he has such a heel. It is extremely difficult for innate objects to take form, but once the spiritual wisdom is turned on, he will be born with the seed of the soul.

And this Bingdilian is also a first-class innate spiritual root. Like the Kui Niu, it is born with great magical powers. But I don’t know what the magical powers of this Bingdilian are? "

Although this lotus boy is not like the Huangquan Great Demon Lord who is the tributary of the underworld, his feet are also innately sacred and have great potential. Unlike the Huanghuang Great Demon Lord, who has the main vein of the underworld, he will never be pure. Yang limitations.

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Li reminded him:

"If you go to the Central Plains in the future, you must not expose your feet as casually as you do today."

"I know. Lord Ming Wang has told me a long time ago that I am the perfect material for refining magic weapons and second souls." Lotus Boy chuckled and didn't take it to heart. After speaking, he pointed at the lotus and explained. :

"My sister hasn't transformed yet. My current body is just shaped by Lord Mingwang with an innate Jiamu Qi. Even if I are captured, it will be of no use without my sister."

It is extremely difficult for this innate thing to take form, and there are very few records. Hearing the explanation of the Lotus Boy, Xu Li was a little surprised, but most of all he was still confused. Could it be that this Bingdi Lian has one body and two souls like the immortal Shen Xiuzhen?

Although he had doubts in his mind, Xu Li didn't ask again. After all, it was quite taboo to inquire about someone's heels.

Xu Li didn't ask, and the lotus boy didn't say anything. He pulled him through the lotus pond and came to a courtyard at the back that looked like a Buddhist temple.

Entering the courtyard, dozens of boys and girls like Lotus Boys were already waiting inside, including monsters and humans.

"Brother Lianhua, is this an expert from the Tang Dynasty?"

All the boys and girls were full of curiosity when they saw Xu Li.

"Yes." Lotus Boy responded and introduced to everyone: "This is fellow Taoist Xu Li from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

"Hello, fellow Taoist Xu Li, my name is" A crowd of people gathered around, saying hello and introducing themselves at the same time.

Fortunately, Xu Li was successful in cultivation. Although he was in a mess, he still returned the gift and wrote down everyone's names.

Nowadays, the conflict between humans and monsters in the Peacock Palace has become quite serious. Human beings have reproduced too fast. After thousands of years, only a few humans who fled into the Peacock Kingdom have now accounted for 99% of the population of the Peacock Palace.

However, because of lack of cultivation, although they occupied an absolute population structure, they were unable to obtain corresponding status. For example, Great Guangming City is full of monsters. Humans can enter the city, but they are not allowed to spend the night in the city.

That's not a big deal, but what's terrible is that the monsters have no management skills, even the Peacock King.

The reason why the Peacock Kingdom can maintain the superficial harmony it has today is because of the absolute force of the Peacock King Ming, which is not good management.

Monsters have an absolute status, but it is humans who are responsible for managing the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the kingdom. Those with rights have no status, and those with status have no rights. They have to be managed by a group of humans who have no status and no strength.

Over time, both parties became extremely dissatisfied, and now the Peacock Kingdom is gradually showing signs of collapse.

It was for this reason that the Peacock King became frustrated and came up with the idea of ​​​​leaving Chixian Shenzhou and opening up a real demon world.

However, Xu Li is not too optimistic. There is no civilization of his own to stabilize the social structure.

The more people there are, or the more demons there are, the more serious the laws of the jungle will become. Even if the Peacock King has immeasurable magical powers, it will only take tens of thousands of years at most for this so-called demon world to become what it is today in the wild and wild land of the west.

But this had nothing to do with Xu Li. If he had a headache, it was the Peacock Ming King who should give it to him.

Nowadays, these human monster boys and girls are the enlightened young generation in the Peacock Kingdom who desperately want to change but don't know how to change, so they want to go to Tang Dynasty, the cultural center of China in Chi County, to find answers.

In the words of the previous life, these boys and girls are all 'reform' comrades of the Peacock Kingdom.

Being embraced by a group of boys and girls, Xu Li was invited to the seat. Xu Li was not polite. After sitting down, he began to describe the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the civilization of the Tang Dynasty, the geography of the Tang Dynasty, etc., and naturally interspersed it with the story of the Tang Dynasty. The current trend of worshiping Taoism in the Tang Dynasty.

Following these words, he talked about the Taoist way of governing the country by doing nothing, and various concepts of restraining one's desires and achieving great peace and freedom.

This was the first time for everyone to come into contact with Taoist concepts, and everyone was fascinated by it. Some scratched their heads, some jumped up and down, and some took out pens and paper and wrote down every word Xu Li said.

In this way, Xu Li explained the Taoist scriptures for three hours every day, and spent the rest of the time practicing in seclusion. At the beginning, these young people came to listen, but after half a month, more and more people came, and gradually the Dojo of Lotus Boy became more and more popular. Unable to stay any longer, many people squatted on the wall or in the trees, and even got into fights in order to get closer to the lecture.

Seeing this, Lotus Boy and others discussed it and set up a stage directly outside Daguangming City to invite Xu Liguang to preach the Taoism.

This is exactly what he wants.

When explaining the Taoist Scriptures, Xu Li also mixed in some superficial Qi training methods. Those with dull talents would naturally not be able to understand them, but if there are too many people, there will always be some geniuses.

By preaching and preaching every day like this, until the ninety-nine and eighty-one days, more than a hundred people had understood the method of practice.

Among the immeasurable Buddha light in Great Guangming City, there is gradually more Taoist tranquility.

It is precisely before Buddhism spreads eastwards, Taoism has taken root.

And the Peacock King Ming, who could not bear it any longer, after he finished talking about the last day, the wings that covered the entire Mount Sumeru flapped slightly. Xu Li felt his head was confused, and he was blown away by a hundred thousand wings as he somersaulted. Eight thousand miles.

"King Daming is too stingy. He just talked about some Taoist scriptures. Why did he fall out?"

Wrapped in the strong air waves and flying to nowhere, Xu Li managed to stabilize his body, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

How could he not know that his sermon simply pushed the internal conflicts of the Peacock Kingdom further. King Peacock Ming had already managed to endure it till now.

After steadying his body, he looked up and saw a glacier. Farther away, there were countless auroras of mixed colors, connecting the sky and the earth.

"Did I come to the North Pole or the South Pole?" Xu Li blinked, feeling horrified.

Beyond Chixian Shenzhou, there are eight wildernesses all over the world, and these two poles are one of the eight wildernesses.

Whether it's from Mount Sumeru to the Antarctic or to the North Pole, if Xu Li were allowed to fly by himself, it would take seven or eight days even if he wielded the sword with all his strength. But now, in the blink of an eye, the Peacock King incited his wings at will and sent him away. Arriving at one of these eight wildernesses.

The most important thing is that at such a fast speed, his body did not feel any discomfort.

In the dream, he saw the incarnation of Peacock King Ming being cut through the pure yang Taoist body by the long-browed Xu Li with a sword. Xu Li also felt that this pure yang felt a little watery.

Now that I have personally experienced the magical power of Peacock Daming King, I know that it is not pure Yang water, but the long eyebrow incarnation is too powerful.

Of course, there is also the Peacock King in dreams, which is far inferior to the real Peacock King.

"Am I farther away from the Central Plains?"

No matter which pole you are in, if you want to return to the Central Plains now, you have to wield the sword with all your strength for ten days and a half.

After looking around for a while, the stars in the sky were also blocked by the aurora, and I couldn't tell the direction.

I flew around for a while, trying to find someone to ask, but I couldn't see anyone. On the glacier at my feet, there were many beasts left over from ancient times.

Xu Li flew against the aurora for a day, but he never encountered a human being. The weather was getting colder and colder, and even wild beasts found it difficult to survive in such severe cold.

"Could I have been sent to Aurora by the Ming Dynasty King?"

Thinking of this, Xu Li couldn't help but want to scold the bird, but thinking about the magical power of the Peacock King, he finally endured it.

This aurora fire melts iron and eliminates metal. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the soul level cannot survive for a long time in the aurora.

That's all. Xu Li not only has two true magic weapons, Danyang Tongzi and Taixu, but he also practices Doumu Golden Pill, the ancestor of the two magnetic powers. He is not afraid that what looks like fire is actually two poles of magnetism. The combination of pulling and pulling creates the power of magnetic consumption.

But within the aurora, there are not only two magnetic forces that consume matter, but also a huge pulling force, pulling the space inside layer upon layer. If you are not careful, you will fall into an inexplicable space and be trapped for hundreds or thousands of years.

Xu Li has not yet achieved Yuan Shen. If he is really unlucky, it will be all over.

He didn't know how many times he scolded King Peacock Ming. He had every reason to suspect that this was King Ming's revenge.

"That's it! The power of this aurora sky will be greatly reduced every ten years. I will go out at that time. I just don't know where to retreat, but now I don't need to think about it anymore."

Looking at the vast white sky with not even a single soul alive, Xu Li sighed, and after comforting himself, Xu Li turned his sword light and rushed back at a faster speed.

After finding an iceberg not far from the aurora sky, Taibai Jianguang penetrated deep into the iceberg and soon dug out an extremely spacious ice chamber.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Li gave a soft drink and released the Jade Demon to observe changes in the aurora sky at any time. After that, Xu Li began his longest and most in-depth retreat.
