From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws
Chapter 584: Fruits of the Immortals
Chapter 584: Fruits of the Immortals
Zhang Daoling led Li Yang through the clouds and fog, and in a moment, a huge island surrounded by crystal blue water appeared below.
"Qiongzhou?"
Li Yang appeared and stopped in the sky above Qiongzhou Island. Then he waved his hand and the clouds dispersed, revealing the scene below.
The destination that Zhang Daoling brought Liyang to was Qiongzhou Island, China's first line of defense against the Kyokushin Realm.
The war had just ended and the embers on Qiongzhou Island were still warm. From Li Yang's perspective, half of the island was still charred.
However, although Qiongzhou is an island, it is the largest island in China and a provincial-level unit. The island covers an area of 3.54 square kilometers. Although it has experienced the ravages of the Jizhenjie army, many urban and mountainous areas are still well preserved.
Qiongzhou is extremely huge and spacious, but it is not very popular. Because of the war, all the residents on the island have moved inland, and now the island is full of garrison soldiers and reconstruction engineering teams.
"Yes, it is here, but in our time, we called this place Pearl Cliff."
"I met a good friend in Kyokushinkai. In his time, this island was called Danzhou."
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard, as if he was reminiscing about his close friend, and also lamenting the broken mountains and rivers, and the suffering of the people on Qiongzhou Island.
"Danzhou?" Li Yang pondered over the word. Since Zhang Daoling could call him a close friend, he must be some Taoist master from ancient times. However, the ancient name of Danzhou had existed in many dynasties in history. For a moment, Li Yang was unable to determine who the close friend Zhang Daoling was referring to.
"Let's go. My friend said that he left some things in the north of Danzhou before he crossed the border. They are quite helpful to those who practice thunder magic. If I return one day, I can take someone with a predestined relationship to get them."
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard. At this moment, he didn't care about whether they were destined to be together or not. With the cultivation level of the two, if they were not destined to be together, they would just rob each other by force.
"Okay." Li Yang nodded and continued flying with Zhang Daoling, through the clouds and fog.
Qiongzhou Island is huge and has many mountains. Even with Li Yang's current level of cultivation, it would take some time to cross the entire island.
Continuing to fly northeast for another twenty miles, we caught a glimpse of a mountain eighty feet high appearing below the clouds in the distance. The mountain range below extended like three mountains combined.
"This is it."
Zhang Daoling's face lit up with joy, and then he called on Li Yang to lower his escape light.
The mountain is not high, even the highest point is no more than one thousand meters above sea level. Not to mention Mount Emei, Qingcheng and Baiyun, it is also much lower than the surrounding mountains.
There were many green pines on the mountain. It was noon, and the sunlight shone through the dense pine needles like dots of light onto the ground, making the light mottled and the shadows of the trees scattered.
The mountain is not high and is located on the back sea of Qiongzhou Island, so miraculously it has not been affected by the war. The mountain path under the trees is covered with a dense layer of dead and yellow pine needles. Li Yang stepped on these soft pine needles and the ground rustled, which made Li Yang feel a rare sense of peace.
"My best friend told me this two hundred years ago. I've almost forgotten some of the details."
The forest was quiet. Zhang Daoling was walking in front wearing a hibiscus crown on his head. He seemed to be tapping his head in frustration, hoping to recall more information about his close friend.
Li Yang said nothing, and walked slowly up the mountain with Zhang Daoling, carefully sensing the energy on the mountain.
Perhaps the concentration of spiritual energy in the mountain was not high to begin with, or perhaps it was more or less affected by the war along the coast, the concentration of spiritual energy in this hill was very low. In Li Yang's perception, it was almost the same as Baiyun Mountain twenty years ago.
After walking up several hundred meters, you can slowly see the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is a huge natural stone wall that seems to have been pulled out of the mountain, and the surface of the stone wall is covered with moss.
"We're here! This must be the place my best friend was talking about!"
After seeing the stone wall, Zhang Daoling's face immediately brightened and his steps became lighter.
Li Yang followed him to the top of the mountain. This stone wall was not deserted. There were traces of artificial carving, and there was also a stone tablet next to it with three large red characters "Bowangtai" inscribed on it.
"Bowangtai, Danzhou, Hainan..." Li Yang pondered, a lot of information mixed together, and then suddenly an idea came to him, looking up at Zhang Daoling: "The close friend that Zu Tianshi mentioned should be Zushi Bai Yuchan, one of the Five Patriarchs of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard, looked at Li Yang with a smile and nodded: "That's right."
Li Yang took a deep breath, turned around and looked at this unknown hill, and instantly knew where it was.
Dan'er Mountain is also one of the immortal mountains with many legends in Taoism.
The two most famous immortals in the legend here are Bai Yuchan, one of the five southern ancestors of Jindan, and the monk Hejing.
The reason why Li Yang knew this was because Bai Yuchan was the source of Chi Yanhong's lineage. Therefore, Chi Yanhong talked about the life of their ancestor every day, among which was the strange legend of Bai Yuchan practicing in a cave in Dan'er Mountain.
The Wanli Qiongzhou Prefecture Chronicle records: "Bai Yuchan, surnamed Ge, given name Changgeng, was from Wuyuan, Qiongshan. At the age of twelve, he took the boy's examination. He once met an immortal in Limu Mountain, who taught him the mysterious thunder method and allowed him to cultivate his true self in a pine forest..."
The so-called Limu Mountain here is just another name for Dan'er Mountain!
"Sure enough, those strange stories are not groundless. Immortals teach thunder magic. So, in ancient times, there was a thunder magic master who lived in seclusion on this mountain!"
Li Yang stared at the stone wall on the top of the mountain with burning eyes, feeling a little expectant.
"When I met this Bai Yuchan, he had already become an earth immortal. Unfortunately, the secret was revealed when he was drunk, so I don't know much. I only know that ahead is the thunder refining ground where Bai Yuchan went before crossing the boundary. If there is any good fortune, it must be in it."
Zhang Daoling stopped in front of the stone chamber and signaled Li Yang to go into the cave in person to look for fortune.
Li Yang didn't waste any time, just nodded and walked in.
The stone wall is a natural rock, but the interior is artificially carved into a rather spacious stone chamber.
This place has been noticed and protected by the local tourism bureau. Li Yang turned the lock on the iron gate at the entrance of the cave and stepped in.
It can't be said to be a different world, as the space inside is actually not very big. In the middle is a statue of a white jade toad, in front of the statue there is a stone well, and then there is a stone bed and two moldy cushions.
Because there are no windows, the light in the cave is a little dim.
Li Yang frowned and carefully examined everything in the cave.
The first is the statue, because there is something strange hidden under the foundation of the statue at the Junfeng Mountain of the Shenxiao Sect.
After a brief search, Li Yang came to his senses and shook his head, cursing himself for being stupid.
"No matter how narcissistic Master Bai Yuchan was, he would never carve a stone statue of himself in his bedroom while he was alive. This statue was probably carved by later villagers or Taoist disciples and moved in!"
Just thinking about this and looking at the empty cave, Li Yang suddenly felt anxious.
It has been 800 years since the Southern Song Dynasty. During these 800 years, countless people have entered and exited this cave and taken out everything in the cave.
What if the creation left by Patriarch Bai Yuchan is some kind of artifact, but it has been taken away by someone in these eight hundred years? Wouldn’t that be the end of us?
After searching for a long time, there was still no result. Even Li Yang felt a little lost.
The oppressive feeling that Fu Tu brought to him last night was so strong that it was almost suffocating. With only half a month left, he had to do everything he could to make himself stronger.
And thunder magic is undoubtedly the fastest way to enhance combat power!
After searching carefully for half a quarter of an hour, Li Yang stood at the door, gritted his teeth, and summoned the Eastern Green Wood Divine Thunder and the Central Yellow Earth Thunder.
Since it is a creation related to thunder magic, there should be a reaction when the two divine thunders appear!
The green and joyful wood divine thunder and the heavy and domineering earth divine thunder surrounded his fingertips. Li Yang held up the two thunder qi and walked through every corner of the stone cave.
"Fate, fate, the word fate is really hard to guess."
The entire cave was illuminated by flickering green, yellow and white lights, but there was still no result. Li Yang shook his head and was about to leave the cave when he suddenly stopped.
Wood thunder is green, earth thunder is yellow, so where does the third color of light in this cave come from?
After turning around again and collecting the earth and wood double thunder, there was indeed light in the originally dim stone cave. Following the light source, Li Yang looked at the stone well in front of the statue. He thought that this stone well was dug by later generations just like the statue!
At this moment, a soft, flickering white light was gushing out from the wellhead. Li Yangyi was standing at the wellhead, and saw a crescent moon hiding under the bottom of the well. The white light penetrated the water, like gurgling water.
……
When Li Yang walked out of the stone chamber, the moon was already dim and the stars were sparse.
Zhang Daoling, who was meditating outside to protect the Dharma, opened his eyes, saw Li Yang's expression, stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that Master Li has gained a lot in the cave."
"The fate is so wonderful."
Li Yang smiled faintly and did not comment.
Under the moonlight, the two men flew up on their swords again.
-
In the next few days, Zhang Daoling took Li Yang to visit many famous mountains and rivers, looking for the fruits left by the Taoist ancestors.
Most of them return empty-handed, making a wasted trip. As thousands of years of history roll by, things have changed and people have changed. Some "fruits" have withered over the millennium, or have been discovered and inherited by our predecessors.
On the fifth day, the two regretfully stopped their fruit-hunting journey because the Chinese National Sacrifice Ceremony had begun.
Under the terrifying pressure of the pagoda, Li Yang climbed mountains and crossed rivers for five consecutive days. When he realized the passage of time, he couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.
"Daoyou, let's say goodbye for now."
In Magu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, Zhang Daoling and Li Yang bowed to each other, and then one flew to Qingcheng Mountain and the other flew to Baiyun Mountain.
The grand festival was hosted by China and was held in five major regions: Baiyun, Jingcheng, Qingcheng, East Guangdong, and Qiongzhou. However, Baiyun Mountain did not participate much, and the Baiyun venue was also held at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. The vacant land that had been cleared for candidates who applied to become Baiyun disciples came in handy.
The world was unaware of the existence of Fu Tu, and was unaware that this world was hiding a demon that could devour everything, so during this week, most people were cheering and rejoicing for the victory of this war.
This grand ceremony is not only a memorial to mourn the dead and wounded soldiers, but also a reward for those who have made contributions to the war.
When Li Yang returned to Baiyun Mountain, the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people and noisy. Zhu Ling, Wang Shuhuan and Li Ling'er, four disciples, had already brought most of the Baiyun disciples down to the meeting place at the foot of the mountain. For a moment, the mountain became a little deserted.
Instead of going down the mountain immediately, Li Yang went to the back mountain first.
In the Yuchan Hall, the two female Taoists were still lying on the hospital beds, with no signs of waking up.
Li Yang held Chi Yanhong's hand and stood quietly.
"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine..."
Looking at Chi Yanhong's fair and cold face, Li Yang said this, and at this moment, he made a decision in his heart.
Ever since he suddenly appeared that day, Li Yang has never seen Fu Tu again, and this old monster with a young appearance has not appeared in news from any country.
If there is no appearance, there will be no information, and knowing nothing will make people even more fearful.
After calming down, when Li Yang flew out of the clouds on his sword, the people gathered at the foot of Baiyun Mountain looked up and saw the small dot on the cloud, and suddenly they roared like the sea.
They cheered hysterically and called Li Yang's name. Some girls flushed, shouted hoarsely, and almost fainted.
No one in the world had such popularity. Li Yang's mere appearance made the crowd below agitated and crazy.
The disciples of Baiyun Mountain puffed out their chests with pride. They had never felt so honored, and had never felt so satisfied.
Descending from the clouds, landing in the center of the ceremony venue, major domestic and foreign media gathered with their cameras and cannons. The world was eager to know about the latest news about this Mr. Li Zhenjun.
Because of Li Yang's appearance, the popularity of the Baiyun venue among the five major venues of the National Martyrs Ceremony rose sharply.
Through the live broadcast, people looked at his white hair, oriental face, and tired eyes.
Li Yang raised his head and waved his hand slightly, and then the whole venue fell silent instantly.
"The ceremony begins."
Li Yang said.
Then, the whole venue became noisy again.
After his high-profile appearance, Li Yang was quickly invited to the center of the ceremony and sat in the main seat.
The entire venue was in turmoil for a long time before slowly calming down.
After all, the protagonist today is not Li Yang, but the thousands of soldiers who died in the war, and the subsequent rewards to those who have made contributions.
The whole scene was extremely grand and massive. Realizing the importance of rebuilding people's hearts after the war, the authorities spent money recklessly on the five major venues, with red carpets, gorgeous lights, dazzling pearls, and a huge display screen over 30 meters high.
Before the ceremony began, a documentary about the war began to play on the huge screen, about Li Yang and the five earthly immortals, about the thirty thousand mysterious warriors, and about Yu Bao's sword that shone brightly on the sea.
Regarding this battle, most people present were participants and were deeply touched.
Only Liu Ming, except for Yu Bao's sword, did not react to any of the other scenes that stirred any ripples in his heart.
"Shu Huan, you said that we two Xiantians are able to hold back the Human Immortal. What will we be rewarded for this kind of military achievement? Can we get the fifth-level ordination certificate?"
In this era, being ordained is the most stable and secure job. You can get salary, benefits, and cultivation resources without doing anything every month. However, it is also the most difficult to obtain. In addition to cultivation, one must also have achievements that are absolutely convincing to the public.
Liu Ming felt that this was enough, so he started fantasizing wildly.
"You are dreaming! To be a fifth-level ordination master, one must have at least cultivated the Dao. How dare you, a Xiantian, dream like that!"
Zhao Ziyao was indignant! She spent most of her time in the mountains. Although her cultivation was a kind of Tao, her battle record was not as prominent as Wang Shuhuan, Liu Ming and others.
"There's no need to be so dead, right? Even though I'm not a seeding Dao, I can fight seeding Dao! And I can fight many of them!"
Liu Ming was indignant and wanted to refute.
However, at this moment, an angry voice came over like a huge bell, causing pain in the eardrums of Liu Ming, Zhao Ziyao and others.
"National Memorial Ceremony, what are you doing on such a solemn occasion?"
On the high platform a thousand meters away, Li Yang looked over here with a cold face, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and he shouted angrily:
"You have no respect for the sacrificed soldiers. How can you laugh and make a fuss in this place? You all, return to the mountain and reflect on yourselves!"
Under the overwhelming and terrifying pressure, Liu Ming and Zhao Ziyao's bodies softened and they almost collapsed in their chairs.
