Xu Zhuang naturally does not have the ability to know the past and the future, but he is indeed only one step away from the Yuanshen. The strength of his inspiration has reached a level that ordinary monks cannot imagine. It is quite like the whim of the Yuanshen, which brings happiness to the soul.
After giving away a thunder bead refined from Yin and Yang Yuan, Xu Zhuang didn't think about it anymore and crossed the Tongtian River directly to Beimingzhou.
But I saw thousands of miles of vastness and loneliness, and geese floating all over the silver mountain.
It is indeed true that Beiming is bitterly cold. When we first crossed the Tongtian River, although the other side was barren, we could still see life and exotic countries with unique customs.
But as Xu Zhuang went deeper into the land of Beiming, he gradually saw only snow-capped mountains and glaciers. The wind and snow continued every day and every night, and life was scarce. Traveling became a boring task.
So Xu Zhuang didn't waste any more time and hurried on his way. As the sky gradually darkened until it completely covered the sky, he saw a gorgeous aurora appearing in the night ahead, which was so beautiful.
Xu Zhuang knew that he had reached the realm of the earth. He lowered his clouds and looked around, but he only saw a white snow mountain. After searching carefully, he could not see any scene of the fairyland.
"No wonder Su Xinghe Dao Xuanbing Pavilion is not easy to find. It turns out it is in the cave sky and the small world."
Xu Zhuang thought for a while and came up with a guess. It was not impossible that the large formation could cover the mountain gate, but firstly there were not many formations that could be hidden from Xu Zhuang's eyes. Secondly, if this was the case, Xu Zhuang had not covered up his figure. Wandering around here, he should have been noticed by Xuan Bing Pavilion disciples long ago.
In this case, Xu Zhuang didn't bother to bother anymore. He took out the spirit beast bag given by Su Xinghe and opened it. He saw a white-feathered spirit sparrow flying out at a very fast speed, as if it turned into a streak of light and went straight to a distant building. Away to the snowy mountains.
Xu Zhuang leisurely chased the sparrow to the top of the snow mountain. After waiting for a few seconds, he suddenly saw a little white light in the sky, which gradually grew to the size of a door. Then, a fairy in a snow-white flowing skirt suddenly appeared, looking like a cardamom man in his prime. girl.
When the girl saw Xu Zhuang at first sight, she seemed to be startled, and she shrank back halfway into the door. When she saw that Xu Zhuang had an immortal demeanor and did not seem to be a villain, she relaxed a little, but for some reason her face turned red, and she He asked in a loud voice: "Who are you and why have you violated the sect's restrictions?"
Xu Zhuang responded with a smile: "I am Taisu Xu Zhuang, my name is Daomiao. I would like to see the master of your sect."
"Tao Miao?" With Xu Zhuang's current name, no matter what cultivator he was, it would be difficult to see the confused look on this girl's face. However, fortunately, she had heard about Tai Su and murmured Xu Zhuang's name twice. No. and said: "Okay, please wait here for a moment, I will come in and pass the message."
Seeing that she was innocent and romantic, Xu Zhuang didn't feel offended. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, little friend."
The girl suddenly felt shy and hurriedly disappeared behind the door.
There was no return until a moment later, a man with white hair tied up in a spiritual snake bun suddenly burst out of the door. His loose Taoist robe was wrapped in a Kun Dao that was larger than an ordinary person. He was a familiar face. Xu Zhuang once The true successor of Xuanbing Pavilion, Lan Sunu, whom I met in Tianwai.
When Lan Sunu saw Xu Zhuang, her eyes suddenly shone like light and she called out: "Senior Brother Xu!"
Xuanbing Pavilion was alone in the world, and she actually didn't have much friendship with Tai Su. However, after the banquet of Taoist Wude, Lan Sunu changed her tune. Xu Zhuang didn't care and returned the greeting: "Junior Sister Lan, long time no see." .”
"Senior brother, you have been waiting for a long time." Lan Sunu actually seemed to be very happy, but she said with a serious face: "As soon as the news of senior brother's visit spread, several senior sisters in the family hurriedly discussed what kind of etiquette should be used to welcome him. , I thought it would be more rude to leave senior brother outside the door, so I came to receive senior brother first."
Xu Zhuang said: "I'm not some extravagant person who wears a hat and a face, so why bother?"
"Senior brother is now the number one master of Xuanmen." Although Lan Sunu said this, she said: "But I also know that senior brother is a seeker of Taoism and will not care about common etiquette. Please come with me."
Xu Zhuang was not polite. He walked into the door with Lan Sunu, and his eyes lit up. Under the same aurora night, the scene suddenly changed. He saw pavilions, water pavilions, made of ice and snow, and carved railings and pillars all made of glazed glass. , a piece of beautiful palaces and pavilions comes into view.
This is the most mysterious Taoist gate in the Xuanhuang Realm, where the Xuanbing Pavilion Mountain Gate is located!
Perhaps because there were few disciples in Xuanbing Pavilion, or perhaps because of the dreamy atmosphere of this crystal fairyland, Xuanbing Pavilion seemed quite deserted. Xu Zhuang walked forward under the guidance of Lan Sunu. Before he was halfway through, Xu Zhuang suddenly raised his head and looked up. .
On top of a glazed floating pavilion, several Kun Daoists seemed to be spying on the place. Seeing Xu Zhuang looking over, they all turned around and seemed to be discussing the Tao.
Little did he know that with Xu Zhuang's ability, the shallow restrictions on the floating pavilion were completely unable to cover up the voice:
"Is that the number one master of Xuanmen?"
"It must be so. I've long heard that this person has a beautiful and extraordinary appearance..."
Seeing Xu Zhuang's sideways glance, Lan Sunu smiled and said: "Xuanbing Pavilion has always been clean. Only senior brother's reputation can be spread to this otherworldly place, so many disciples are quite curious about senior brother."
Xu Zhuang responded: "A little fame is nothing more than false praise from the world."
It's not that he is self-effacing, but he really doesn't care. If he can't achieve the Great Dao, no matter how famous he is, he will be in the dust after thousands of years.
Lan Sunu just pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked: "I wonder why senior brother wants to see the leader of our sect?"
Xu Zhuang said modestly: "Although what I did is not a top secret, it is the mission of the sect. If there is a chance, I will let my junior sister know about it."
Lan Sunu didn't ask any more questions, and kept chattering without stopping. She quickly led Xu Zhuang to a ice and snow palace, and walked inside.
When Xu Zhuang saw her like this, he took action and came to the main hall. He saw a handsome Taoist with black hair like a waterfall and ice-cold muscles standing above him. Xu Zhuang's heart moved and he knew that this should be Xuan Bing. The current headmaster of the pavilion is Zhenren Jingchu.
Seeing Master Jingchu, Lan Sunu stepped forward quickly and bowed: "Master, I have brought Senior Brother Xu."
It turns out that Lan Sunu is actually a disciple of Zhenren Jingchu, but it is normal for her to have extraordinary origins as a Taoist genius who has been practicing Nascent Soul for two hundred years.
Xu Zhuang followed Lan Sunu and said, "Junior Xu Zhuang has seen a real person."
Master Jingchu smiled and nodded, and glanced at Lan Sunu again. Seeing Lan Sunu pretending not to evade, he coughed angrily.
Lan Sunu's eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes showed hope. She remained in a stalemate for several breaths before she pursed her lips and retreated.
It was only at this time that Master Jingchu spoke up and said: "The No. 1 Master of Xuanmen suddenly came to visit, and I was a little surprised. I heard that you came here with the mission of the sect. I don't know why?"
Unexpectedly, Master Yuanshen would call Xu Zhuang this way. Xu Zhuang was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a moment, he did not humble himself and responded respectfully: "I came here in compliance with the decree of Master Daochen, the master of our sect. The Feng Dan' method was exchanged with Guizong for the 'Xuan Lian to avoid calamity ice soul' method."
"Oh?" Master Jingchu paused for a moment, then showed his face and said, "Okay."
Xu Zhuang was surprised. He had thought that Master Jingchu would be willing to agree. After all, the Wind-Fixing Pill method was also the best way to overcome the calamity, but he did not expect that Master Jingchu would be so unthinking.
For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if there was any conspiracy involved, but after careful consideration, Zhenren Jingchu shouldn't do anything. After all, this was not just disrespectful and plotting against the younger generation, but also an act of deceiving Taisu Zhengzong. .
So Xu Zhuang no longer hesitated, took out the treasure box containing the Wind-Fixing Pill, presented it, and said, "Thank you, Master."
Master Jingchu took the treasure box and didn't seem to be in a hurry to open it. Instead, he turned his hand and opened his palm. Unexpectedly, there was a roll of soft silk. He handed it to Xu Zhuang and said: "This is the Xuanlian avoidance of our sect." You can take a look at the method of robbing the ice soul first."
Master Daochen had already said that if he could get this method, Xu Zhuang could observe it first. He did not show any politeness, unfolded the soft silk, and read it carefully, but he suddenly frowned.
It turns out that the method of Xuan Lian to avoid calamity and ice soul is divided into two methods, one is the method to avoid calamity, and the other is the method of Xuan Lian!
If you want to use Xuanlian to avoid the ice soul, you must prepare ten thousand years of Xuanbing without a trace of impurities, then find an extraordinary ice spiritual place, set up a formation and refine it for ten thousand years before it can be refined. The ice soul to avoid disaster is used to perform the method of avoiding disaster.
Of course, Master Jingchu is not playing tricks, and both methods are in Xu Zhuang's hands, but this mysterious refining method——
It’s just ten thousand years of mysterious ice that doesn’t contain a trace of impurities. No matter how precious the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are, they can still be found. Extraordinary ice and spiritual land are by no means only found in the Arctic, but these ten thousand years of hard work can still be found. It cannot be shortened at all.
Even if Tai Su obtained Xuan Lian's method of evading the ice soul and found the Xuan Ice Spirit Land, it would only come into use tens of thousands of years later.
Xu Zhuangzheng raised his head, and Master Jingchu seemed to be aware of it. He raised his hand and said: "Oh, it's not just a prank. You, Taisu Zhengzong, need the Wind-Fixing Pill method, and you are not taking it easy."
Xu Zhuang's words paused, and he suddenly realized how valuable the method of avoiding calamity is, and how wonderful it is to be able to avoid the three disasters. This is really about immortality and helping the road, and it is normal to encounter thousands of difficulties. Master Jingchu is indeed not scheming.
Xu Zhuang's thought changed. Although Master Daochen didn't know the inside story of Xuan Lian's method of avoiding the ice soul, he should have made some guesses and came up with another explanation. Maybe he could do it more conveniently.
After thinking again and again, Xu Zhuang folded his hands and bowed, and asked, "Dare I ask, Master, if I can use the refining wind elixir in exchange for the ice soul to avoid disaster?"
Refining the calamity-avoiding ice soul requires so much effort, so it is impossible for the Xuanbing Pavilion to be unprepared. It should be refined over a long period of time to have this thing.
"Oh?" Master Jingchu said with a smile, "Can you make the decision?"
Xu Zhuang was slightly happy in his heart and replied: "Before I left for my junior trip, the Master Master once said that if your sect is unwilling to exchange methods, you can refine the 'Wind-fixing Pill' in exchange for your sect refining and casting the spell on your behalf. You can make the decision."
Master Jingchu muttered: "That's fine, I can make the decision and change it with you..."
He suddenly remembered something and asked: "How many ice souls do you want to exchange for avoiding disasters?"
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly and asked, "Huizhenren, can I exchange it with both parties?"
"Both sides." Master Jingchu showed his expression and said with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry, it will not be difficult in thirty or fifty years."
"My Xuanbing Pavilion sect originally had three kinds of escaping ice souls, but one of them has been given away, but within thirty to fifty years another one can be refined... Although no one in our sect has been involved in the fire yet, but You should be able to understand that you should keep one side aside for emergencies."
Xu Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "This is natural, let's follow the real person's arrangements."
Master Jingchu nodded and said: "In that case, I will ask you to take you to get the tribulation-avoiding ice soul. The other party will wait until it is refined before taking it. Or if you are worried, you can just keep an eye on me at my door."
He also made a joke at the end of the conversation. This real person is actually not as cold as he looks.
Xu Zhuang could only say: "The real person is joking."
Master Jingchu waved his hand, but instead of waving back Xu Zhuang, he waved towards the outside of the palace. Lan Sunu suddenly appeared from behind the open palace door and said with a smile: "Master, senior brother, you are done talking."
Master Jingchu was not surprised and simply said: "Take Tao Taozi to get Xuanlian to avoid the ice soul."
Lan Sunu was not surprised when she heard this. She agreed happily and said to Xu Zhuang, "Senior brother, follow me."
After Xu Zhuang said goodbye to Master Jingchu, he followed Lan Sunu out of the hall. Lan Sunu chatted endlessly all the way. Xu Zhuang found that there were more than one or two innocent and romantic people in Xuanbing Pavilion, but there were not many. If I find it boring, I just respond casually.
After walking like this for a while, there were fewer and fewer buildings around, and Lan Sunu started to escape again. Xu Zhuang followed closely, and then he realized that this small area was actually very wide, but it was all ice and snow. The scenery was dreamy, but after all, it was a bit... Sameness.
"We're here." After escaping for more than two thousand miles, Lan Sunu suddenly pointed down and said: "This place is the place where Xuan Lian is refined to avoid the tribulation of ice soul."
Xu Zhuang looked down and saw a shallow gap on the ground. As Lan Sunu escaped into it, he felt that it was getting wider and wider. He didn't know how long it took to reach the bottom. It was already tens of thousands of feet long. Empty.
Xu Zhuang felt it for a while, and found that the ice spiritual energy was indeed extremely strong, but it was concentrated in various places, as if there were large formations of profound refining.
Even if the Xuan Lian avoids calamity ice soul is refined, it still needs to be stored in the spiritual land of ice. The spiritual land of Xuan Bing Pavilion is the best in the world, so it is easy to store it here for retrieval without any trouble.
Lan Sunu said: "I need to use a magic trick to see which formation has been completed. Senior brother, wait a moment."
Xu Zhuang was confident that he would let her perform the technique. He looked around, but suddenly his heart tightened.
He looked around for half a circle before faintly finding the source of the sense of voyeurism. When he looked around, he saw a blue iceberg standing there quietly about three or four thousand feet away.
"Isn't this...?"
The more Xu Zhuang looked at it, the more familiar it became. It only took him a moment to confirm that he had seen this iceberg before.
After Xuan Lian's calamity-avoiding ice soul is refined, it is only the size of a palm, but after the spell is cast, it turns into an iceberg and wraps up the person who is avoiding calamity and overcoming calamity.
Xu Zhuang didn't know whether the shape of the iceberg formed in this way was similar, but he could confirm that the iceberg in front of him was the Xuanlian Tribulation Ice Soul that Xu Zhuang had seen in the Fayuan Cave. Yuanzong Xuchen's use to avoid fire!
The reason why it is so certain is not just because of the shape, nor is it because of the sense of voyeurism that Xu Zhuang noticed.
But because not long after I noticed this iceberg in Xuzhuang, a voice rang in my heart, saying: "Xu Xiaoyou, we meet again."
