The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 27 Rumors
"True Lord Dinghun?"

Cui Xiaotang showed surprise on his face.

"This Third Master Li could actually be the reincarnation of True Lord Dinghun?"

"It's just a possibility."

"After all, the reincarnation of Dinghun Zhenjun is just a legend. As for whether it is true or not, no one knows. Anyway, even my mother has never seen a living reincarnated Zhenjun."

"Maybe there really is such a strange skill in this world that requires one to become stupid to practice. That's not so strange."

The black cat stretched lazily.

Although it knows a lot of information related to spiritual practice, it does not know everything.

There are so many strange things in this world, and it is impossible for it to have seen everything.

"If you want to know the truth, wait a while and it will become clear."

Cui Xiaotang nodded slightly.

……

Li Yan returned home and began to practice the six magic spells again.

As his cultivation of Taoism became more profound, he felt that his progress in practicing the six magic spells was much faster.

Now they have all reached perfection, and there is no need to chant any mantras, just a pinch of the fingers can release them.

This slightly increased his combat power.

Moreover, ever since he started to activate his second soul, his physical body has changed almost every day.

He even wondered if he should learn some martial arts to bring out the advantages of his physical body.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter how strong your body is, it seems that it cannot withstand the spell, so you just give up.

"Do you want to buy a few more spells from Master Jiang?"

Li Yan's heart moved.

The old Taoist priest sold him the three magic spells last time, except for the Fire Snake Spell, which he could hardly use because he practiced the Golden Needle Spell.

The other two spells, Sprint and Clairvoyance, brought him great convenience.

If he could learn a few more spells, his strength would increase further.

With his profound Taoist skills, he would not run out of skills even if he used several spells in succession.

"Tomorrow, Patriarch Cui and my second brother-in-law will go to Shepherd Mountain. I can go with them to see Taoist Jiang. If Taoist Jiang is willing to sell me magic, that would be great. Even if he is not willing, it is no big deal. It is just a matter of walking a little further."

Li Yan made up his mind and sent someone to pass the message to Song Xing.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Li Yan set out with the head of the Cui family and Song Xing.

Among the three of them, one came to ask for talismans, one came to ask for magic, and one came to ask a Taoist priest for help in investigating a case.

The three of them each brought their own men, and the group of people headed towards Shepherd Mountain in a mighty manner.

Muyang Mountain is located on the south bank of Hengjiang River.

Hengjiang is a large river that spans Hengjiang Prefecture. Its widest point is two to three hundred feet wide, and the river water is turbulent.

If you want to cross the river, besides taking a boat, you can only walk another hundred miles and cross a suspension bridge in the narrow stream.

Li Yan and his team had already prepared the boat, so they didn't have to walk far. They could just get on the boat at the ferry and cross the river.

When they reached the middle of the river, Li Yan stood on the bow, looking at the surging river. The depression caused by staying at home for a long time was swept away by this magnificent scene, and he felt very refreshed.

"Boatman, how long have you been ferrying here?"

The boatman was an old man who looked to be in his fifties, with bronze skin and a weather-beaten face.

Hearing Li Yan's question, he grinned and said, "It's been more than 40 years."

"I have been ferrying people here with my father since I was a child, so I am very familiar with this river."

"It's a pity that my two sons don't want to come here to ferry people. They insist on doing business. Alas!"

At this point, a look of worry appeared on the boatman's face and he sighed softly.

"Have you ever seen the true form of the Dragon Lord?"

Li Yan asked curiously.

He had heard about the legend of the Dragon King of Hengjiang in his childhood memories, but he didn't take it seriously at first.

It was not until Liu Yingying told him that he knew that the Dragon King really existed.

Moreover, not long ago, the shadow of the Palace God appeared and appeared in the world.

The phantom of the Palace God that appeared in the Palace God Sacrifice was just the appearance of a statue; the real body of the Dragon King never showed up from beginning to end.

"That's natural!"

The boatman said with pride.

"When I was about eight or nine years old, there was a heavy rain in Hengjiang Prefecture. It rained for several days in a row and the river water rose rapidly, almost causing a flood."

"My father was ready to move me away from the river, but I remember that day very clearly. A four-clawed black dragon flew out from the center of the river and flew directly into the thunderstorm."

"It wasn't long before the thunderstorm disappeared."

"If it weren't for the Dragon Lord's protection, our Hengjiang Prefecture wouldn't have always had good weather and no disasters."

The boatman had an expression of admiration on his face.

Li Yan looked thoughtful.

No wonder after the crash of the divine realm, no big monster dared to appear in Hengjiang Prefecture to cause trouble.

It turns out that there really is a dragon in Hengjiang.

Seeing that Li Yan was listening carefully, the boatman continued, "I heard from my father that more than a hundred years ago, Hengjiang was not as peaceful as it is now. Whenever it rained, monsters would appear in the water to stir up trouble and spread cholera on both sides of the river. Some people even offered human sacrifices to the monsters in the water to seek shelter."

"It was not until the appearance of the Dragon King that the chaos ended. Later, officials wrote to the court and issued an imperial edict, naming the Dragon King the God of Hengjiang Prefecture and offering incense to him."

"Although the Dragon King's statue appeared at the Palace God Festival some time ago, it's a pity that we didn't get to see the Dragon King's real body again."

The boatman's face was full of regret.

Li Yan's heart moved when he heard this. He made a gesture with his hands, a clear light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head to look towards the bottom of the river.

The water was so clear and vast that even with his psychic eyesight he couldn't see the bottom.

He could only look away.

It turns out that it is not so easy to meet the Dragon King.

As the boatman talked, the boat soon arrived at the other side.

The road was smooth afterwards and the group soon arrived at Shepherd Mountain.

Shepherd Mountain is just a small hill, but even though it is late autumn, the grass on the hill is still green, and from time to time you can see shepherds driving cattle and sheep to graze nearby.

Following the shepherd boy's instructions, they soon arrived at a dilapidated Taoist temple.

The old Taoist walked out of the Taoist temple, stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door, and said to everyone with a smile: "I apologize for not welcoming you, my distinguished guests."

"I've met the Taoist priest."

The three of them bowed to the old Taoist.

Li Yan walked forward and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Daoist Master Jiang for a month. Now he looks more energetic."

"My cultivation has only improved a little bit. Sigh, I am so ashamed. So ashamed."

The old Taoist said he was ashamed, but the wrinkles on his face were almost turning into a flower through smiling.

During this period of time, he refined a lot of Qingling Pills and practiced hard. His cultivation improved so fast that he had never imagined before.

In less than a month, he had cultivated for more than half a year.

In the past, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"I wonder what the distinguished guests are here for?"

"I am Cui Ying, and I am honored to meet Taoist Master Jiang. I heard from Mr. Li San that Taoist Master Jiang is proficient in spells, so I came to ask for some spells to protect my home."

The head of the Cui family waved his hand, and a servant stepped forward and handed a stack of silver bills to the old Taoist.

"Ahem, Master Cui, you are too polite."

The old Taoist took the banknote, took a look at it, and was a little shocked. He was indeed the head of the Cui family. What a big fat sheep...

No, it should be wealth and power.

"Where is the Third Young Master? What's the matter?"

The old Taoist quickly put away the banknotes and turned to ask Li Yan.
