“But we are not qualitatively different from the flowers, plants, trees, and all things in the world.”

"Do you remember what I told you about the Qi Game outside the valley?"

"The so-called Qi Bureau is the existence formed by the flow of Qi in a specific independent range. All things have Qi, so all things are Qi Bureaus. People are also Qi Bureaus. Thousands and millions of Qi Bureaus make up the Qi Bureau of the entire universe."

"So what is a human being? A human being is a Qi situation."

"But we are different from the Qi in the valley. The Qi in the valley will not change, but the living beings between heaven and earth are changing. It is also in this change that time has meaning."

"Human nature is also changing, and the Qi in us is also changing. People will inherit and reproduce, grow old, get sick and die. In this process, the Qi interacts with the energy of the outside world, generates information, and forms the unique self."

"You and I, countless tiny Qi Bureaus gathered together to form the Qi Bureau of the entire universe. And for billions of years, the changes in Qi Bureau, which have no beginning and no end, are the so-called Heavenly Dao."

At this point, Zhang Taichu paused for a moment, trying to make Feng Baobao understand, and then continued: "Born as a human being, and embarking on the path of cultivation, breathing in the true qi of heaven and earth, accumulating strength over the years, and finally releasing it, one must transcend the world and roam freely between heaven and earth."

“But even if we achieve these, we are still in a state of Qi, entangled with all things in the world, unable to escape the laws of nature, and we will become self-righteous “immortals”.”

"The process of becoming an immortal is so painful. It can be said that the road is long and difficult. It requires cultivating one's mind, strength, body and thoughts... Throughout the ages, there have been countless pioneers. Suddenly, one day, there was a person who found a less painful path."

“That may be the true gift of heaven. One has sorted out the changes in the Qi of all things in the world and summarized some of the laws. In a sense, one has glimpsed part of the Way of Heaven and used its laws to affect oneself.”

"And this law is that it can escape the process of self-cultivation, mind-cultivation and power-cultivation of the cultivators, and easily seize the more advanced true Qi from the outside world, act on their own Qi situation, strengthen themselves, and obtain the same great power as the so-called "immortals."

"And the method of discovering this law and utilizing it is the art of dragon creation."

"But since it is only a partial law, this dragon-making technique is naturally incomplete. It can be said to benefit one person but harm all things. It is an existence that defies the laws of nature."

When Feng Baobao heard this, he pondered for a long time, but couldn't understand what the real person meant.

Zhang Taichu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not."

"To put it simply, someone doesn't follow the rules. He eats from the bowl while eyeing the pot. He is a typical ungrateful person. He snatches the food from your hand, fills himself up, and leaves you hungry. He also kicks the pot, leaving everyone with nothing to eat. You can't even cook the next meal."

When Feng Baobao heard this, she immediately understood what was going on: "If there is such a person, he must be beaten to death."

Zhang Taichu said: "Back then, Wu Gensheng brought the Thirty-Six Virtues and used the inferior Dragon-making Technique here to comprehend the so-called Eight Wonders."

"But the strange thing is that he did not make any further progress. Instead, after realizing the Eight Wonders, he withdrew from the valley and destroyed the Qi Bureau in the valley."

"Could it be that he has a change of heart? Or maybe - Wu Gensheng has achieved his goal."

Chapter 252: Breaking the Valley, Seeing the Demonic Qi Again;

When Zhang Taichu said this, he looked at Feng Baobao thoughtfully, and a guess emerged in his mind.

Feng Baobao looked at the real person and said in confusion, "Wu Gensheng is my family, so what is his purpose in this valley? Why did he abandon me?"

Zhang Taichu pondered for a long time, but he didn't say anything. He shook his head and said, "He has the ability to come to this valley and to obtain the dragon-making technique through the Qi Bureau. Wu Gensheng would never die in such an unclear way. I think he is still somewhere now, living a carefree life."

"I'll catch him for you then, and you can ask him in person, and the truth will be revealed, right?"

As he spoke, he stood up slowly, brushed the dust off his butt with his sleeve, and looked at the strange Qi formations formed by lines on the stone walls of the surrounding caves. "If you ask me, the Purple Yang Master Zhang Boduan who built this 24-section valley is like Wu Gensheng, who has lost his sense of importance."

"Throughout the ages, those who have used this dragon-making technique to achieve immortality have all known shame and dared not leak the news. This technique was also banned by all major sects in ancient times and was secretly engraved in a forbidden area."

"But Zhang Boduan actually dared to openly hide the dragon-making technique in these twenty-four valleys, and left various levels for selection. He really is a teacher."

"But there are three thousand great ways. Although this dragon-making technique is the fastest, it is the one that I least like. Well, I will destroy it today."

As he spoke, he waved out a golden barrier to protect Feng Baobao who was still sitting on the ground. Finally, he raised his left sleeve and shook it gently.

In an instant, endless crescent-shaped sword energy shot out from his sleeves and slashed across the entire cave, illuminating it with a golden glow.

But unlike what he expected, Zhang Taichu frowned tightly the next moment.

But the rough stone wall patterns around were not moving at all under the bombardment of the sword energy that could easily penetrate gold and split stone. The milky white light on the surface became increasingly intense!

"There seems to be something else strange about this Qi situation. It can actually dissolve my sword Qi."

"This Master Zi Yang is indeed a good man, but he can't stop me."

He snorted coldly, clenched his empty hands, and the vast sea of ​​Qi in his body shook slightly, and then burst out with even more turbulent power, making the sword Qi that crisscrossed the cave several times stronger.

Also under this terrible bombardment, the patterns of the Qi Bureau changed again, and there were faint signs of collapse. Then in the next moment, the milky white light flashed, revealing a strange purple color.

The cold purple Qi flow was spreading out along the Qi lines, but it was quickly decomposed by the sword Qi.

Zhang Taichu was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he whispered, "Is that - demonic energy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery in front of his eyes changed, as if it had penetrated the original time and space, and was pulled into another dimension by a mysterious force!

When I came to my senses, I found myself in the familiar strange universe that I had entered before in the Qinling Mountains!

But his position at that moment was different. He was clearly closer than ever to the huge Yin-Yang Bagua formation that he had once seen from afar and that stretched across the starry sky.

"The extremely dense heaven and earth true qi is close to the level of dragon qi. This is what the dragon-making technique has unearthed. But why does this dense true qi appear so - mixed?"

Zhang Taichu was keenly aware of the changes around him, and sensed a dirty and mixed Qi breath that was so incompatible with the rich true Qi. It was like chemical wastewater mixed into clear spring water, a form of pollution!

And he quickly found the reason from the huge and boundless Yin-Yang Bagua diagram.

But on the black dot on the positive side of the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram, there was a crack that was hundreds of miles long, and large amounts of purple demonic energy were constantly gushing out.

The demonic energy gathered into a peerless river that could never be found on Earth. It continuously flowed into the starry sky and merged with the rich and pure true energy.

In the cracks on the formation diagram, a huge flame as big as a mountain could be seen, which continued to burn the purple devil energy, but could not completely eliminate it, causing more and more devil energy to flow into the starry sky and drift towards the stars...

"The demonic energy polluted the rich primordial energy, making it mixed."

Zhang Taichu frowned as he finally saw the wonderful sight that Prime Minister Zhuge had described.

But before he could think it over, strange patterns appeared from the void around him, trying to pull him back like chains.

next moment.

His eyes flashed and he returned to the real world again.

The sword energy was still roaming around in the cave, and Feng Baobao still had his big, intelligent eyes open, looking at the situation curiously.

It seemed like not a single second had passed.

But Zhang Taichu suddenly had an idea and withdrew the sword energy in his hand, which immediately quieted the noisy cave. Only the millions of twisted earthworm patterns remained, still emitting a faint white light, and no longer a trace of purple.

"This Qi Bureau not only points to the dragon-making technique, but can also lead people to that place. Could it be that the extraordinary place mentioned by Prime Minister Zhuge was intentionally created by Master Ziyang? He has also been there and mastered the anchoring method?"

"That mysterious Yin-Yang Bagua diagram actually looks like a huge, boundless restriction, blocking the existence of the devilish energy, but something seems to have gone wrong..."

"If I completely destroy the Qi Bureau here, is it possible to release the dirty and mixed demonic energy and guide it to this world?"

He muttered to himself and scanned the Qi situation in the cave. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally restrained the thought of completely destroying it. Instead, he began to set up a secret killing formation around it according to the Wu Hou Qimen he had learned during this period to prevent any latecomers from breaking in without permission.

Until half an hour passed.

Zhang Taichu looked at the golden array patterns, which were hidden under the stone wall until they disappeared. Then he waved his sleeves, took Feng Baobao with him, and left quickly.

After leaving the Twenty-Four Section Valley, he followed the direction he came from and went to the mountain base. He met Meng Linhu and gave him the coordinates of the valley, asking him to pay close attention and send relevant departments to block and guard the area as soon as possible.

The latter was very serious and agreed repeatedly. He immediately began to contact his superiors, convey his will, and then make arrangements.

Only after Zhang Taichu had done all this did he lead Feng Baobao to find the direction of Longhu Mountain. He used a method to hide his breath, rose from the ground, and quickly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Huajin City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

Lujia Village, outside the most imposing building in the center of the village.

I don't know when, another cold wind blew and lingered here.

Hiding within the coverage of the beads.

Zhang Chulan stared nervously at the flickering blue light on Wang Ye's fingertips and asked again, "Master Wang, does your magic work?"

Wang Ye said, "Don't worry, I will use this Xun character breath hiding technique and Ma Ge's hiding bead together. Unless Old Master Lu comes within ten feet of us, he will never notice."

Zhang Chulan nodded, looked at the empty bluestone avenues on both sides, and then looked up at the three-story wooden building that had been dark for a while. "Then let's go in and go upstairs to meet Old Master Lu?"

Lu Jin looked at the bright moon that had already moved westward and whispered, "Wait a little longer."

Wang Ye flicked his fingertips lightly, and a soft breeze swirled around the crowd, gently lifting them up, crossing the wall outside the house, and landing in the courtyard.

Everyone waited here to make sure that Lu Ci was asleep.

A quarter of an hour later.

They looked at each other, made up their minds to take action, and were about to take a step to sneak into the wooden building, when there was a slight click sound on the roof of the third floor, and then a wooden window suddenly lit up.

The place where the light was on was where Lu Ci's bedroom was.

"Why is Mr. Deng not sleeping at this time of night? Why is he turning on the light?"

"Is he getting up to go to the toilet at night? Hiss, could it be that Old Master Lu also has the same troubles as ordinary elderly people, frequent urination and urgent urination..."

Zhang Chulan muttered softly, but just as he finished speaking, he heard the dull sound of footsteps hitting the stairs from inside the building.

"Old Master Lu has come downstairs."

Ma Xianhong reminded, holding the hiding beads in his hand, and led everyone to huddle in the corner of the courtyard, nervously looking at the wooden door of the small building.

Just as the sound of people coming down the stairs turned into a lighter sound of footsteps, two and a half breaths later, the wooden door was pushed open with a creak.

Lu Ci, wearing a white training shirt, walked out with a jar of wine in his hand. After turning around and closing the door, he slowly walked down the stairs outside, walked into the courtyard, and went towards the gate.

The five-member group was very nervous. They watched Lu Ci pass by them, walk out of the gate, and then followed him carefully.

along the way.

Lu Ci was walking in front.

They followed behind, always keeping a distance of at least two meters. Fortunately, nothing happened and the other party apparently did not notice their presence.

"Why is this old man not sleeping in the middle of the night and wandering around with a pot of wine?" Zhang Chulan tried to keep his voice down.

Even though Ma Xianhong had activated a magic weapon to silence people, they were still afraid to make any louder noise because of the close distance with Lu Ci.

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "He tried to enter the Lu Family Ancestral Hall tonight, but I stopped him because of my sudden visit."

"Perhaps he has something he must do tonight."

When everyone heard this, they all felt a sense of anticipation. They wanted to see what the old master of the Lu family was going to do in the middle of the night with a pot of wine in his hand!

……

In the night.

Lu Ci was alone, carrying a heavy jar of wine in his hand, with his head slightly lowered, walking step by step on the bluestone road.

He had complicated thoughts in his mind, and always wanted to stop and not go forward, but he could not suppress his eagerness, so he walked with a somewhat slow pace until he came to the south of Lujia Village, outside the ancestral temple.

Looking at the closed mahogany door, his eyes trembled, then he climbed the stairs, pushed it open with one hand, stepped over the threshold and entered.

"Who?"

An old man's low growl was heard from within.

"I am Lu Ci."

"It turns out to be the head of the family."

"..."

The sound gradually dissipated into the night.

The people who stopped outside the ancestral hall exchanged glances and then followed the voice into the hall. Following the direction of the sound, they carefully walked through the corridor and saw Lu Shao's small house with the light still on.

There were two shadows cast on the wooden window, and they seemed to be talking.

The faint sound coming out was that Lu Ci was asking Lu Shao whether everything was normal in the ancestral hall tonight.

The latter confessed everything, except obviously the part where he fell asleep while reading.

After just a dozen breaths.

Lu Ci walked out of the hut again, then crossed the corridor, passed the rockery, and stopped on the blue brick ground where the moonlight was shining.

He bent down, opened the mechanism, and walked into the slowly opening dark tunnel entrance without hesitation.

"Yes, he really came here for this dungeon."

Lu Liang spoke with some excitement, and hurriedly led everyone to follow. He wandered at the entrance of the cave, and after seeing Lu Ci going deep into it, he also followed suit.

……

In the basement.

Lu Ci carried a pot of wine, fumbled on the wall, and turned on the simple lighting mechanism, filling the entire basement with pale yellow light.

He looked at the scene he hadn't seen for a long time, at the lonely grave mound that had never changed its appearance, his eyes trembled, and he couldn't help but redden his eyes.
