Chapter 137: After Penglai
paid homage to Xuannv and the ancestors of the past generations, Suanni boy brought Li Qingyun to the Immortal Mansion. With a move of his mutton-fat jade pendant, he released the restrictions and introduced him into the manor.
"Uncle Master, this is the Penglai Wonderland, the Fairy Treasure Mansion. It is the place where my predecessors of all generations store their spiritual weapons and Taoist companions. All disciples of the True Tradition can
choose a magic weapon from the Treasure Mansion to protect themselves. Which one do you like? Just tell me."
Oh, I will also give you a magic weapon when you become a disciple. The benefits are pretty good.
At a glance, the treasury is full of colors, the treasures are soaring to the sky, and the divine light is brilliant, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. These are not rubbish he rubbed casually, they are rubbish carefully refined by his seniors... Ahem, baby.
After all, if you look carefully and carefully, you will see that the particle effects have dissipated, and all that is left are pots, pans, knives, guns and sticks. In what age are you still doing this? By the way, is there a magic weapon-level cruiser? Is it okay to play an enchantment RPG?
Well, after all, it is an antique passed down from generation to generation by the ancient Taoist sect and the Righteous Taoism. It has some historical heritage and cultural value.
When Li Qingyun saw the arrangement of the treasures, it was like a magic weapon living in a room, so he asked casually, "
Nephew, can all these treasures be transformed?"
The boy nodded,
"Weapon spirits that cannot be transformed are not eligible to enter. I am the servant of Xuanmen. Whichever one you like, just take it and ask their soul if they are willing to recognize it as their master.
If you want to take a few more, it is no problem. As long as there is a chance to go out, everyone is willing to take care of the younger generation, and then for The master is glowing and hot."
Li Qingyun nodded to express his understanding,
"Yes, that's right. After staying in the house for a long time, I want to go out and play."
However, from the perspective of a cultivator, these magic weapons are indeed quite powerful. ' Things, Li Qingyun glanced at them, feeling that most of their cultivation and pressure were stronger than his own, and he also clicked his tongue.
The hundreds of monks in the square were already shocking before. I didn't expect that there were so many powerful weapon spirits in the treasure house. This Taishang Jiuzhen Sect really has a profound foundation.
But after turning around, Li Qingyun didn't hug a lot of people, "I want them all!" '.
After all, he was familiar with the Shangzhen Taoist Canon, so he naturally knew that the magic weapon chosen for entry was to form an opportunity. It could not only protect the body and life, but also form a couple to cultivate and complement each other.
However, this kind of thing is not always better.
In fact, Li Qingyun is no longer a child who just entered Taoism. It’s not like he hasn’t used flying swords before. Of course he knows that although these magic weapons are infinitely powerful, he also knows after being tortured several times that these magic weapons have equipment upper limits and reset CDs, just like shipboard weapon systems also have energy grids. In terms of grid and CPU usage, even if you install too many top-level prosthetic implants, you will feel mentally ill.
It's impossible for you to reshape yourself from head to toe, arm yourself with magic weapons to your teeth, and then rip your clothes off! Not even a pair of underwear was left behind, and all the equipment in his body was thrown out to hit people.
And this is not just a question of whether mana, cultivation, and consciousness can be tolerated, but also depends on your wallet.
After all, the great karma of starting a couple and cultivating Dharma protectors needs to be repaid.
These magical weapons and magic weapons come out of the mountain to protect you and help you practice. Isn't it just to help one person achieve enlightenment and let chickens and dogs ascend to heaven?
Therefore, after taking the magic weapon, even the training expenses of the magic weapon will need to be provided by the disciple's own cultivation resources. In the future, the repair, maintenance, upgrade and improvement of the magic weapon will have to be done by himself. As a result of the practice of weapon refining, the elders of the master I will never interfere.
To sum up, you must be cautious when taking this opportunity. In a sense, it is like marrying a wife. It is fun to have a lot of money for a while, but if you want to live in the future, don't you still have to work to support yourself?
Therefore, although dual cultivation is beneficial to physical and mental health, too many Taoist companions will delay the practice. One or two of them are enough.
Of course, the Penglai disciples were rich, and the Shangzhen Palace was even richer than the Sea of Virtual Stars. If they really wanted to raise them, Li Qingyun could afford eight out of ten.
It's just that he has a high vision, and he already has a handkerchief, a sword pill, and now he also has a broken ax that he made as a reference. No matter what, the strength of the magic weapon cannot be lower than the garbage he made by hand. So at first glance, I really didn't think there was anything particularly eye-catching.
Well, it's not that his ax is very well made, but in fact, the upper limit of magic weapons, no matter how ancient magic weapons, is limited by the raw materials and the craftsmanship of the maker.
These Taoist artifacts can be preserved in the treasure house. Although they were all stunning masterpieces at the time, they are indeed a bit outdated now. Whether it is the production process or the strength of the materials, they are the tears of the past era.
It’s like a bunch of supercars parked in a museum. No matter how awesome the chassis is, how solid the sound is, and how beautiful the sound is, and no matter how many championships they have won, they cannot be thrown into racing on fully automated highways with maglev taxis.
In this way, Li Qingyun walked around the warehouse twice, but found nothing he liked, so he simply said to the boy with the jade pendant, "
Forget it, let's go, there is no need for it."
"Uncle Master doesn't like these treasures. But you don’t have the heart to refine weapons yet?”
The boy Suan Ni was probably used to picking at the ropes. He could tell at a glance that Li Qingyun was short of money, so he stepped down for him and said, “How about I get
some ancient relics from the Tai Chi era? These Most of the ancient relics have been damaged in fighting before. They may have been knocked down, and their souls were damaged. They were temporarily covered in dust and could not be awakened. If uncle has time to spare, he can refine them again. Do you want to keep some souvenirs?" "Oh, Tai Chi ancient relics?
"
" It's the ancient Tai Chi world before the Demon Ancestor opened the sky, the star wall collapsed, and the Dao Foundation was destroyed. It dates back to the time when the three deities established the religion. You come with me, and we're here." The boy Suanni led Li Qingyun through the garden and came
to It was a storage room like a broom closet. There was a large container in it, which contained some literally messy junk. It had accumulated a large layer of dust and had obviously been dusty for N years.
Seeing the disgust on Li Qingyun's face, the Taoist boy smiled bitterly and said,
"The master's gift is a treasure, and all the entry-level disciples have it. The master uncle can pick one at random. It's easy for the disciples to do business." "
Oh, okay, then... this one. "
So Li Qingyun picked up a brick casually. Well, it's gold. Even if it's useless, it would be festive to put it back in the house.
So the boy who completed the task registered him, "received a treasure from his master," and took Li Qingyun to a study room.
Li Qingyun looked up and saw the pile of books on the bookshelf,
"Oh, are you going to choose magical secrets this time? I already have the Daozang of Shangzhen Palace, so there is no shortage of this."
The boy smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I misunderstood. , this is the question bank."
"Question bank?"
Li Qingyun casually took out a book and took a look, "Master Wei talks about arithmetic. Arithmetic lecture notes for the Jiazi Year College Entrance Examination with detailed explanation of the real test questions"... dig... feel... find
...
Li Qingyun rubbed his eyes , take another look.
Or "Zhenti Hai".
It’s over, I’m a cyberpsychotic maniac.
Then the boy explained,
"Here are the collections of real college entrance examination papers, simulation papers, and question banks from the Magic Mountain Demon Sect and other sects of all Taoist sects. You can borrow as much as you want, and you can just return it when you are done." Li Qingyun stared at him with big eyes
. Looking at him,
"What do I want to do with these things when I'm riding a horse?"
The boy shook his head, "Of course it's to do the questions. If you don't do the questions, how will you take the exam?"
Li Qingyun frowned, his heart tightened, and a chill ran down his back. Suddenly he realized that the purpose of Teacher Xian's trip was not simple.
"Why do you want to take an exam?"
the boy smiled, pointing to the regulations posted on the wall behind the bookshelf,
"Of course, as long as you study hard and practice hard, you will always be able to do it." Only by taking tests can we master the true teachings of Taoism.
Our Taishang Jiuzhen Inner Sect unified examination consists of a small test on the fifth day, a high school entrance examination on the first tenth month, and a big competition on the anniversary. We take part in it every three years and take part in the 'Xuanmen Comprehensive Six Arts Unified Examination'. ', Uncle Master, since you have officially entered the inner sect, you will have to answer questions from now on.
Only the top three disciples in each exam will be rewarded and have points. Such a big exam for sixty years, all six skills are taught, and the total score The top three disciples can become Sanshan Taoist disciples."
When Li Qingyun heard this, his liver was shaking.
"Nah... Ma... yo... it takes sixty years to take the exam???"
This immortal doesn't care if he doesn't cultivate!
The boy grabbed his sleeve and urged,
"Uncle, it's actually not that difficult. These test questions are from the Taoist teachings compiled by the ancestors of the past generations based on their personal experiences. The elders are also worried that the disciples in the sect spend all day meditating and practicing Qi. , lack of experience, so I share my experience with all my heart.
If I go out to the mountains to practice like this, if I encounter disaster or misfortune, I can still take the medicine according to the prescription, and any problems can be solved by myself. It is all the hard work of the master!" Li Qingyun looked at
him ,
"Don't fool me! What the hell is it that you need to practice arithmetic to cultivate immortality! I'll just cut it and it's done. Why do you need to write questions?" The
Suanni boy shook his head and said,
"In the beginning of arithmetic, the ancestor of the Tao, we must cultivate the true Tao. How can you not understand these natural principles of heaven and earth? You can't reach a thousand miles without accumulating silicon steps. The sophistication of the algorithm is reflected in the accumulation of time and months. If you can't even solve the problem on the pen and calculate it incorrectly, how can others dare to believe it? , you can refine weapons and make treasures as soon as you get started, but what about drawing talismans and making elixirs?
Even if the sect does not lack resources, the heaven, materials and earth treasures themselves are the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of the heaven and the earth are accumulated. Once used, they will be gone. You don't even have the confidence to do it, why don't you feel bad for doing it so casually?"
Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, what the other party said seems to make sense. Even if you have sex, don't you have to count the coordinates? These basics are the real skills, so He bowed and said,
"I have learned the lesson."
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this. It's just the teachings of the master that you have heard and seen." The
Suanni boy hurriedly helped him up, and then whispered,
"And you are a half-level entrance, and you are the inner door. Disciple, I don’t know the rules for the selection of the outer sect. If the disciples of this mountain fail to pass the examination, they will be beaten. If they fail in one subject, they will be suspended from the beam, and if they fail in two subjects, they will be whipped with a cane. If they fail in the annual examination, they will be beaten with a cane. If they fail in the unified examination, they will be beaten. Guo, he is suppressed at the foot of Penglai Mountain and is not allowed to go out until he passes the exam..."
"You are a corporal punishment sect!"
Li Qingyun is going crazy.
The Suanni boy also smiled bitterly,
"Isn't it always like this in Xuanmen, strict masters produce good disciples? Besides, as long as you don't fail the exam, it will be fine. In fact, among
my Xuanmen disciples, there are really very few people who fail the exam. Just brush up on the questions. Passed, you don't need to be too nervous. It's just that it's really hard to compete for the top three ranking rewards. After all,
you also know that 'Refining Qi and Transforming God' is easy to cultivate, while 'Refining God is still empty' is hard to find, but if you are elected Sanshan Daozi, in the future, will receive strong support from the sect's resources for cultivation, and he will also be able to pass on the "Sutra" and teach the "Book" to the Taoist ancestors. This is the authentic Taoist path of Taoism! If you can obtain the true scripture
, Among those who seek the truth, who among us doesn’t risk our lives to fight, fight, and rob, so what does the exam mean?”
Li Qingyun felt relieved after hearing what he said.
In fact, that's true. After all, others are not like him, who have the "Nine Yin Manual" and "Blood Barrel Heavenly Book" at their fingertips. It’s all something we have to fight for.
You see, people in other religious sects have to conquer other worlds and all other worlds in order to exchange for a "Book of Heaven". It is already very simple for Taoist disciples to brush up their scores in exams and compete for rankings.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Just do the questions. Just do it. Give me a whole box... But wait a minute, I'm just getting started now and I'm just starting to take the exam. Am I already behind the schedule? And there are daily exams
. The exams are taken every month and every year. Not only do I have to practice in seclusion, but I also have to help the founder guard the furnace and make elixirs. How can I pass the exam?" Boy Suanni moved the book box and explained, "This is simple
.
Just now Uncle Master, the sect magic weapon you picked up contains the Barrel of Taixuan. As long as the soul leaves the body and activates the Gate of Taixuan, it can be taken to Penglai Mountain for the exam. And there is only
one stick of incense for each subject. If you are delaying your time, if you really have something important to do, you can apply to the leader for a make-up exam."
Marde, no wonder you are asking me to get a magic weapon, and you are practicing the spirit to leave the body just to take the exam? Why are you so outrageous...
The boy Suan Ni looked at Li Qingyun,
"Uncle Master, even if this is a small test, we are taking it in front of the statue of the Patriarch. If you cheat, you will be beaten to death." "
Damn it! I am. Are you someone who knows how to cheat! And just cheating and being beaten to the point of being beaten to death is too big a fuss!!"
Oh, it's so tiring... Cultivation of immortality and Taoism turns out to be so tiring...
So with the help of Suanni boy, Li Qingyun moved the house After emptying out, I packed a book box full of test papers and simulation papers and took them back to study. Well, this book box is also a mustard seed and sumeru type storage magic weapon. It is specially used to store books. If it weren't for his Nine Yin Body Refining Magic Dacheng, maybe I really can’t carry it back...
When I came out of the question bank, the boy suggested again,
"Uncle Master, do you want to bring some spiritual seeds of flowers, plants, and mythical beasts and birds back to raise? Inner disciples can get them for free." "
Damn it. It's too late for me to study the questions, and I have no time to cultivate flowers and birds! No!" The
box of papers he carried was extremely heavy, and Li Qingyun no longer had the good mood to travel to the wonderland. Who wants to write a question? It's better to go back to 0791 to masturbate and watch TV!
Suanni also saw that Li Qingyun was in a bad mood, looked at him, and asked in a low voice,
"Uncle, do you want to eat something?"
This time Li Qingyun immediately became interested, "What do you have to eat here?"
Suanni boy He looked at him and asked,
"Uncle, is he from Xu Xinghai? Do you usually eat raw or cooked food? Blood food or meat food?" "
Well, in addition to taking pills, I usually eat fish. What do you think? What do you mean by those?"
Suan Ni actually looked envious,
"There are elixirs and there are fish to eat. Are they live fish?"
Li Qingyun nodded and grabbed a piece of fish from the leather pocket on his waist,
" It looks quite ugly, but the meat is quite fresh, would you like to try it?”
Suanni swallowed and shook his head,
"I have converted to the Dharma and refined my spiritual body. I can only eat fire and smoke, but I can no longer wear hair and drink blood. It's
great, it turns out Daiyu really has live fish..."
What? If you can't eat raw hair and drink blood, then you keep staring at him...
Seeing him like this, and then looking at the sea hanging in the sky and wrapping the fairy mountain, Li Pan couldn't help but wonder,
"Why don't you have any raw fish?"
The boy Suan Ni shook his head,
" In our case, the raw ones are the spiritual vegetables and fairy fruits grown in the medicine garden, and the cooked ones are the vegetarian vegetables cooked in the canteen. Normally, Qi practitioners smoke clouds, make elixirs to subdue Qi, and occasionally have gatherings and banquets, so they use some vegetarian vegetables and fairy fruits. , Lingquan Immortal Brewing. People who have attained the Tao generally don’t eat meat.”
“Then I saw there were a lot of fat quails flying over just now? Why wasn’t that one raised for food?”
“That’s an underage phoenix...”
Suan Nitongzi smiled bitterly,
"The mythical beasts and birds on the mountain are all Taoist companions' spiritual pets raised by sect disciples. They are used to collect genius treasures. If there are those who realize the Tao and transform, they will become fellow disciples in the future. Of course, they cannot be eaten. Only
occasionally There are those who have exhausted their yang life and are reincarnated after fighting. Their corpses are used to refine alchemy and make utensils, and the skin and bones are removed. The remaining materials can be eaten as meat. And they are used to sacrifice the heavenly ghosts in the ancestral temple and the demons beaten from outside the territory. It's called blood food.
However, there are many disciples in the sect, and flesh and blood food is not often available, let alone not enough. It is very rare." "
Well... why not go hunting outside the mountains? You can't eat the food raised by the sect. Where is the wild food?"
The boy Suan Ni looked at him inexplicably,
"Wild? There is nothing outside. Where can there be any wild food?"
Li Qingyun didn't understand.
"What do you mean there is nothing outside?"
" If it's gone, it's gone..." The boy Suan Ni spread his hands, "The star wall collapsed and the foundation of the road was destroyed."
Li Qingyun was stunned, stayed for a while, and asked,
"...Can I go outside and have a look? ?"
The boy Suanni didn't care. He whirled around and turned into a golden lion with a jade pendant hanging around his neck... Suanni.
"The evil spirit outside is too strong. I'm afraid Uncle Master's Taoist body is still in trouble. Please leave your body. I will protect you and go out to see." When the other party showed his appearance, Li Qingyun felt that it turned out that
this Suanni boy's His cultivation level was actually far above him, and he was probably at the peak of 'Qi training to transform into a god'. So he nodded, sat cross-legged, and the Nascent Soul projection flew out from above his head and landed on Suan Ni's head.
Suanni shook his head, swayed his body, breathed fire from his mouth and nose, and a burst of colorful smoke clouds surrounded his body. He drove up the golden clouds and huffed straight into the water curtain and sea wall in the sky.
The blue sea water split into a crystal clear channel in front of us, and colorful lights shuttled in front of our eyes. The fairy mountains and blue sea quickly faded to both sides. The blue light shrouding Penglai Mountain gradually faded away, and the sea surface gradually dimmed, and soon there was boundless darkness. They were surrounded from all directions, as if an abyss was pouring in front of them.
Then there was a crash.
Li Qingyun's consciousness suddenly spread out, as if the curtain covering him was suddenly torn apart, and in all directions, there was only a vast nothingness left in front of him.
Nothing at all.
In the vast void, not even a single star could be seen.
Nothing...
nothing...
"Uncle Master, turn around and look."
Li Qingyun was awakened by Suan Ni's voice transmission, and turned around to look in the vast void.
Behind him, he saw a crystal clear bubble blooming with blue light, like a huge orb, hanging silently in the boundless darkness. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the inside of the orb. Green mountain shadows and magnificent Taoist palace.
"This is Penglai."
Suanni led Li Qingyun around the blue bubbles in the vast void.
"Xu Yuan has expanded uncontrollably. The Taiji Realm has long been swallowed up by Xu Yuan, and there is nothing left in the world. Although the barrier set up
by Taishang Daozu can sustain it for a while, no magic weapon can withstand the erosion of Xu Yuan's evil spirit.
When all the power of the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls is exhausted, Penglai will eventually be swallowed up by the endless Xu Abyss. I only hope that
Daiyu Mountain can be completed as soon as possible and move all the Jiuzhen Sect to Xu Abyss. Just go to Xingtian.
Although Xuyuan will swallow Xuxingtian sooner or later, at least there is still a way to survive. You can
escape for a while."
