From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 297: The Sword Light That Cuts Through the Era

Although he rejected Xu Yihe's request for real water in person a few months ago, the Xu family and Changsheng Group came to him many times afterwards.

From humble pleading at the beginning to coercion and inducement, and even directly tearing off the face and making harsh words.

All this only aroused his anger even more.

The word "useless person" as described by Xu Yihe was even more irritating, but Wang Shuhuan had to admit that, in a sense, this was indeed a fact.

After his body recovered, he tried to practice all the techniques in his memory, but he never felt as comfortable as before.

On the contrary, those originally simple formulas now seem a little obscure and difficult to understand. Occasionally, when a trace of energy accumulates and wants to flow through the body, the meridians all over the body feel a tearing pain.

The former genius has become a useless person now. It took Wang Shuhuan a lot of effort to accept this reality.

But how could he be willing to be a useless person?
There was fire burning in Wang Shuhuan's chest.

He was determined to stand in front of Xu Yihe one day and tell her that the so-called sword pills and real water were worthless and that her choice was wrong!
Young people are full of vigor and ambition. If they have no worries, who would sit and cry in the cold?

He went to Baiyun Mountain not only to confirm the specific time of the Taoist Academy's enrollment, but also because it was the most likely place for him to embark on the path of cultivation again.

Wang Xianghong, who was standing by, seemed to have seen something at this moment and exclaimed in a low voice:

"Cousin, am I seeing things? Does the girl behind me look a bit like Chen Li?"

"Hiss, it seems like even the skirt and hairstyle are the same?"

"Oh my god, she's coming towards us!"

Wang Shuhuan turned his head and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.

"Why did you follow me?"

Chen Li smiled slyly, her eyes curved: "From the San Su Temple to Shiyang, Mei County, there is only one bus at this time. I know you two have a secret."

Wang Shuhuan frowned, remembering that he had said publicly a few months ago that he would go to Baiyun, Shuchuan during the summer vacation.

"Does Uncle Chen know?"

"I left him a note."

"Do you know what we two are going to do?"

"I do not know."

Chen Li said as a matter of course: "But I am the class monitor. I will still be the class monitor even after graduation. If you two are doing things secretly, I will naturally intervene."

Never reason with a girl. Wang Shuhuan frowned and did not argue anymore.

"So, what are you two going to do?"

Seeing that the two brothers were silent, Chen Li asked curiously.

Ever since Changsheng Group left that day, Wang Shuhuan has almost become the most mysterious person in the school, and many classmates have different opinions about his experiences before transferring to this school.

"You'll know when you arrive."

Wang Xianghong spoke vaguely and was forced to accept the fact that Chen Li was with her.

After asking many more questions, Wang Shuhuan simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Wang Xianghong just said some half-truthful nonsense. After asking no results, Chen Li had to return to her seat full of questions.
-
By the time they arrived at Shiyang Village, it was already past six o'clock the next morning. They had set out at eight o'clock the previous night and had been driving for nearly ten hours, changing stations and taking taxis along the way.

This strange place always makes a girl who just finished the college entrance examination feel scared. But watching Wang Shuhuan change buses with ease, it seems that he is very familiar with this place.

"Have you been here before? Did you study here before transferring?"

Wang Shuhuan neither nodded nor denied it.

He looked up at Baiyun Mountain and said in a vague tone, "I'll state in advance that this mountain is not so easy to climb. It will be dangerous along the way. I advise you not to go up the mountain with us."

"Who are you looking down on? After all, I have climbed Mount Tai and Mount Hua, okay?"

Wang Shuhuan shook his head: "This mountain is different from ordinary mountains..."

"Different? What's different..."

After Chen Li finished speaking, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Wang Shuhuan's gaze.

Clouds, what you see are large pieces of clouds steaming on the mountainside.

From her perspective, most of Baiyun Mountain was almost completely blocked by thick clouds. Only the top half of the peaks, big and small, remained, like two jade dragons hanging upside down, going straight into the sea of ​​clouds below. The rest of the scenery was all below the clouds.

There was only the mist and clouds on the top of the mountain, and the shadow of the Taoist temple hidden in the clouds, looking ethereal and vague, as if it were a dream.

Shocked by this scene, Chen Li stood there in a daze: "Hiss... It seems, it's a little different..."

Just as I was wondering, I saw Wang Shuhuan and Wang Xianghong heading towards the mountain road with pilgrims' expressions on their faces.

"Wait for me!"

In this situation, Chen Li naturally would not give up. Instead, she became more curious about the purpose of Wang Shuhuan's trip and quickly followed.

Wang Shuhuan sighed and had to let Chen Li act.

Anyway, the interests have been made clear, and it is up to Chen Li to make the choice.

Wang Shuhuan himself was not sure whether he could meet Li Yang.

Going up all the way, just one more step will touch the clouds. Wang Shuhuan stood in front of it with a complicated and unclear expression in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Xianghong and Chen Li behind them both stopped.

"I am going there to find the immortal fate and make up for the road of cultivation. There is a formation blocking the way ahead, and there will be danger. Once I enter the cloud, I will never have the heart to retreat and regret. I can only go up with sincerity."

"You two, are you sure you want to go?"

Immortal fate, path of cultivation, formation, many words are challenging Chen Li's three views.

Wang Shuhuan's words sounded too absurd to Chen Li, but looking at Wang Shuhuan's serious expression, it seemed to tell her that this was a very real and serious matter.

This little monster Wang Shuhuan never played a joke at school.

"Go! Brother, you have to fight for your life once. I have looked up at the vastness of the sky. You can't let me just eat and wait for death again."

"Are you guys playing a plot play?" Chen Li still couldn't believe it and murmured.

She felt a little nervous, vaguely realizing that something out of the ordinary might happen soon.

Wang Shuhuan didn't answer, but just turned and looked at her.

"Go! I said, I am your squad leader!" Chen Li raised her white neck like a little swan, trying her best to make herself look righteous and confident.

"Into the mountains."

Wang Shuhuan said nothing more and took the lead, stepping into the clouds.

Wang Xianghong and Chen Li followed closely behind.

It's not completely impossible to see anything in the clouds. You can still barely see some things in the rising mist.

In Chen Li's sight, the entire mountain in the clouds was green. The place where the mountain path should have been was also overgrown with weeds, swaying in the wind and reaching as high as the calves.

"Hasn't anyone walked through this mountain for a long time?"

Wang Shuhuan nodded.

Before he went home to recuperate, he was quite familiar with the basic situation of Baiyun Mountain.

Ever since Master Li set up the formation at the foot of the mountain, some woodcutters, villagers and tourists have been unable to go up the mountain. It must be because there have been no humans walking around for too long, so the grass is so lush.

There is a saying: A path along the side of a rock is called a cricket, and a rugged hill is called a road.

After finally finding their way to a rugged mountain road, Wang Shuhuan held Chen Li and Wang Xianghong's hands on the left and right.

"Hold me tight, we are about to enter the first level."

"it is good!"

This scene was really scary for the three people who had just finished the college entrance examination.

The higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes, making your eyes dim and dark.

The road went up and down hills, and they had to climb vines and hold onto vines. They didn't know how long they had walked, but all three of them felt their feet and legs were sore.

The three of them seemed to have entered a place that had not seen the sun or moon for hundreds of years. They could not tell north from south, or east from west. Although it was the hottest month of August, Wang Xianghong still felt a chill lingering around him, which was so chilly that it made his body shiver.

"Something's wrong. I feel like we've walked for a long time. This Baiyun Mountain doesn't look that high at the foot of the mountain?"

Wang Xianghong was the first to raise questions.

Although Chen Li didn't say anything, her face was full of fear and she was worried: "I haven't been this tired even when I climbed Mount Tai and Mount Hua. This mountain is too weird."

"This is the Ghost Gate Formation, also known as the Ghost Wall among the people."

Wang Shuhuan smiled bitterly.

He heard from Li Yang that the Ghost Gate Formation was only used to dissuade mortals. When he was holding the sword pill and awakening to the spiritual realm, he could completely ignore the Ghost Gate Formation. He didn't expect that he would be trapped in the Ghost Gate Formation for so long.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuhuan stopped struggling in vain.

He stopped and struggled to move the weak Qi in his body. As his Qi moved, a little water light began to sway at his fingertips.

"go!"

With Wang Shuhuan's current state, using real water would consume a lot of his vitality. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he, a man who had just recovered from a long illness, would not dare to use real water at all.

Seeing a little floating water splashing on Wang Shuhuan's hand, this scene was the first time for not only Chen Li but also Wang Xianghong to see it.

"Damn, cousin, were you a great cultivator before?"

Chen Li is now trying to confirm whether she is dreaming, otherwise how could the special effects in this kind of movie appear in reality.

"Stop talking nonsense. I can't hold out for long."

Wang Shuhuan's face turned pale. The two men realized how powerful he was and quickly followed him.

Less than three to five hundred meters later, the three men, panting with their hands on each other's shoulders, took a step forward, as if they had broken through a barrier, and their vision suddenly became clear.

Looking further up, it is like indigo mixed with precious jade, and the myriad of mists and clouds are like green gauze covering your eyes.

Looking back, the place where they had been struggling for several hours was only a few miles away.

Chen Li held Wang Shuhuan's hand while looking up in a daze. If the immortal that Wang Shuhuan mentioned really existed, where on the mountain should he be?

"Here comes the fatal place!!"

Wang Shuhuan's expression did not relax at all, but became more solemn. Compared with the previous formations, the Ghost Gate Formation was just a child's toy.

Having reached this point, another magnificent and mysterious world is right before their eyes, so Chen Li and Wang Xianghong naturally have no reason to give up.

The three of them held hands and continued to walk into the mist before them.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker. Before they went far, they saw a gust of wind suddenly blowing in the valley ahead. As the wind blew, a sound like a roar came from behind a pine tree that was so big that several people could hug it, and then a white-browed and silk-haired tiger jumped out.

The tiger's fur was golden, and its pupils seemed to be filled with bloodthirsty hunger. When it opened its bloody mouth, the three of them could even smell a foul stench.

In horror, the three had no time to think about why there was such a ferocious beast in the mountain.

Chen Li's legs and feet instantly went limp, as if they had suffered a stroke and were numb.

"run!"

Wang Shuhuan acted decisively and took the two men and fled.

The fat guy Wang Xianghong wished he had two more legs and ran while shouting for help.

Chen Li was not as fast as the other two and fell behind, crying loudly. Wang Shuhuan saw this and carried her over his shoulders.

"Brother, what should we do? Think of a solution! The gods in this mountain have such bad tempers. How can they still keep tigers? Aren't they nationally protected animals?"

Wang Xianghong was crying and wailing, and was completely confused.

Before they ran far, the three of them felt another gust of wind blowing towards them.

When I looked closely, I saw the vines on the hillside making a rustling sound, and then a white snake as big as a bucket jumped out.

The wind they were facing was actually the poisonous gas from the giant snake's mouth!
"Dead!"

The three of them had the same thought in their minds.

Wang Shuhuan was already powerless. He had just used up too much energy when he used the real water to get out of the Ghost Gate Formation. Now he couldn't even summon the real water again.

Tigers roared in the back, and the giant snake in front raised its head and stuck out its tongue, with lightning flashing in its pupils. Its scales looked like thousands of jade pieces piled up, coiled in front of the three people, and suddenly opened its huge mouth.

Chen Li was already in a state of panic. She unconsciously held Wang Shuhuan's hand tightly, imagining how sad and painful her parents would be when they knew the news of her death. She cried harder and harder.

Not sure if it was because of the poisonous gas, Wang Shuhuan, who was still trying to escape to the mountain, felt dizzy and had no strength left in his body.

“Brother, is it really not our destiny to bump into the immortal fate!”

Wang Xianghong's eyes were red, and endless sadness and despair surged in his heart.

Chen Li has cried her eyes out.

"Wang Shuhuan, I want to tell you something!"

"what?"

"actually……"

Chen Li was about to speak when she suddenly heard an ethereal voice of scripture coming from the clouds.

The sound is ethereal, full of inexplicable charm, and extremely mysterious and dreamy.

"Cloud Seal Taixu, the beginning of the catastrophe.

Sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes sinking, sometimes floating.

To perform the cave chapter, then write the magic talisman,
……

It exists clearly and it does not exist in obscurity.

Serious illnesses can heal themselves, and those suffering from worldly troubles and drowning can be helped.
The netherworld will depend on you. From this, you will ascend to the immortal city."

As the chanting sound got closer, the white snake twisted its body and actually drilled back into the vines. The tiger's roaring sound behind it became fainter and fainter.

The three were just beginning to wonder when they heard a voice from the clouds approaching.

Chen Li wiped away her tears and looked carefully, only to see a young female Taoist with a fat squirrel squatting on her shoulder, slowly walking out of the valley.

The female Taoist had her hair tied up in a bun, and was wearing a green robe with a ribbon hanging around her waist. With her bright eyes, white teeth, green hair and rosy face, she didn't seem to have any worldly airs at all.

"Zhu...Zhu Ling?!"

Thousands of images flashed through Wang Shuhuan's mind, and he looked at the female Taoist in front of him in disbelief.

"You... do you still recognize me?"

The female Taoist nodded silently.

"Fairy, you are a fairy, right?"

Wang Xianghong and Chen Li were overjoyed and tried to get up quickly, but their bodies were still weak and numb, and they could not stand up for a long time.

The female Taoist didn't answer, but looked at Wang Shuhuan with a complicated expression: "Are you here to see my master?"

Wang Shuhuan nodded quickly.

"Master told me that if you can get through the Ghost Gate Formation, he will let me see you, so that you don't die in the formation... Don't go up there, the formations up there are even more powerful. If you continue to be stubborn, your lives will be in danger."

"Then, Master Li...does he have any other advice?"

The female Taoist followed Li Yang's instructions and looked at Wang Shuhuan as indifferently as possible: "My master already knows your purpose. In July next year, there will be a turnaround for what you are asking for."

Chen Li didn't know what the "turning point" this very detached female Taoist priest meant, but she found that Wang Shuhuan and Wang Xianghong's faces suddenly turned red as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Can I... ask to see Master Li?"

Wang Shuhuan trembled as he made his plea.

Zhu Ling shook his head and said indifferently, "This morning, Qingcheng Mountain has sent a Taoist priest to the mountain to invite my master to the Longhu Mountain Successor Han Tianshi Mansion to perform the 1,200-point Luotian Grand Ceremony to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Now my master and Master Chi are about to ride on the sword and the cloud to leave."

Wang Shuhuan paused when he heard this and lowered his head.

Sure enough, as Zhu Ling finished speaking, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky.

The three of them looked up. In the dim glow of the mountain top, they saw a very obvious sword light piercing through the clouds and heading straight to the east, like a meteor with a white tail.

When I came to my senses again, the Taoist woman in green with bright eyes and white teeth had disappeared, and the clouds in the mountains gradually faded away, and I could just barely see the way down the mountain.

Everything seemed like a dream.

After barely recovering their strength, the three of them walked down the mountain road, with all kinds of thoughts surging in their minds. After witnessing the magical thing that just happened, no one spoke for a while.

Chen Li was silent for a long time, and finally raised her head: "The reason why you two want to repeat a grade is to cultivate immortality, right?"

Wang Shuhuan nodded.

"Where is the fairy from?"

"Qingcheng, Baiyun, Wutai, and Taoist temples in various provinces."

The three of them fell silent again.

"Wang Shuhuan, do you think I have a chance?"

"Naturally there is."

The three of them asked and answered each other, and their figures slowly disappeared into three small black dots on the mountain road.

Wang Shuhuan looked up and saw that the clouds that had been cut through the sky tens of thousands of meters above had not yet closed, and he could see the blue sky.

This galloping sword light seems to be opening up a whole new era.
