Diyuan Cave Heaven, the secret realm of bamboo forest, and the octagonal pavilion.
Above the bamboo forest, a large river spans the sky, connecting the snow-covered sacred mountain with the vast sea. Countless dragon fish are vying to be the first to jump up from the whirlpool of the sea and swim back to the sacred mountain.
Mr. Long sat in front of the stone table in the pavilion, quietly sipping the fragrant tea, leisurely and leisurely, without any intention of raising his head.
Outside the bamboo forest, a beautiful shadow came.
"Father, you didn't tell me even when you were released from seclusion. I didn't even know you were there."
Qingying came to Longjun, just like when she got along with Chu Chen and Xu Ping. She naturally took the tea set and poured tea and water for her father. It was very natural.
"Ying'er~ Come on, sit down!"
Lord Long looked at the little girl dotingly, his eyes full of love.
"Your Taoist practice has improved a lot. I didn't expect that you have worked hard during this period."
Qingying smiled shyly.
If it were in the past, with her temperament, she would definitely not practice so hard.
Descendants of congenital beings, even if they are "lazy" and practice leisurely, their Taoist cultivation will continue to improve.
According to Chu Chen, if you eat and sleep, you can cultivate to a state that ordinary monks cannot reach in their lifetime by lying down and practicing immortality.
She practices so fast that the friends she knows cannot practice as fast as her.
Even though she practiced slowly, her former friends were left far behind.
However, Qingying has now changed her gender.
Now she is worried that she will be caught up by her "friends" and then she will not be able to catch up with them.
Qingying spent this period of time very fulfillingly. She practiced diligently every day. When she was free, she would chat with her friends and listen to the interesting things that happened there...
"Father, can't I practice properly?"
Qingying rolled her eyes at her father: "I slacked off before because I encountered a bottleneck. Now that I have made a breakthrough, I naturally have to practice hard."
"The descendants of the Tangtang ancestors don't even have the fifth-grade Taoist cultivation level. Isn't this a disgrace to your father?"
Long Jun smiled happily: "That's good if you think so."
"My father intends to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. If he becomes transcendent in the future, he will not be able to protect you and your brothers all the time. You have to become stronger so that you will not be bullied by outsiders."
Qingying was startled.
Hearing this accidentally, she was deeply touched.
My father has always longed for enlightenment and transcendence.
She had ignored it before, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Father, you don't have to worry about us. There is a saying in the human race that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Just focus on attaining enlightenment and transcendence. There is no need to worry about me and my brother."
Long Jun smiled dumbly:
"Ying'er, I didn't expect you to be much more sensible after not seeing me for half a year."
After speaking, Long Jun teased:
"Could it be that you have a teacher outside who teaches you great principles every day?"
Qingying thought to herself, there really were people who reasoned with her every day.
However, she did not answer, but pointed to the scroll of the river above the bamboo forest:
"Father, what can you gain today?"
Long Jun shook his head: "There are quite a few good seedlings, but it's just that all good things are hard to come by, so we have to continue to observe them!"
Qingying was not surprised either.
My father's real goal is the "seedling" who has traveled three hundred and thirty-three feet on the seventh-level path.
However, this kind of "fairy seedling" is difficult and uncommon.
Not only do you need a pair of discerning eyes to discover "taoist geniuses", but you also need to be patient in cultivating them. There is no need to rush.
"Father, I guess you must have gained something today."
Qingying looked at the scroll of the river in the sky and said mysteriously.
"oh?"
Long Jun became interested: "Why did you say this?"
"Father, just wait and you will find out."
Qingying gave it a try, her pretty face full of anticipation.
Others didn't know it, but she knew very well that Chu Chen always kept his word and seldom boasted.
A few days ago, Chu Chen seemed confident that he could travel more than 320 feet back.
"Father, look at that dragon fish~"
After a while, Qingying Xu discovered something and pointed at the Dajiang scroll.
Long Jun is very insightful, and even the slightest movement in the surrounding area cannot escape his discernment. Naturally, he has already noticed that a golden arowana with a green, yellow and red head has just appeared in the whirlpool.
"Father, are the three colors of green, yellow and red on the top of the dragon fish's head the sun, moon and stars?"
Qingying pointed to the golden arowana and asked for advice.
Long Jun's face showed joy:
"This is the three rays of the sun, moon and stars. That boy really lived up to my expectations."
What a Jiro!
Qingying felt happy, and then all her eyes fell on this arowana.
"Father, he traveled so fast and easily caught up with several people."
Qingying couldn't help but exclaimed.
Compared with the leaders of the Nine Nether Alliance who travel back in the painting, Long Jun and his daughter are looking at the main scroll of "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate". They have a panoramic view of everything and it is very intuitive to see.
Under the gaze of Dragon Lord and Dragon Girl, the golden arowana with the three colors of sun, moon and stars on its head was like a loose arrow, suddenly swimming back towards the snow-covered sacred mountain.
Ten feet, thirty feet, fifty feet, one hundred feet... two hundred feet...
The turbulent and surging river seemed to be taking no time in front of the golden arowana, without any hindrance, and its speed was staggering.
When traveling back to Longmen, faster is not always better.
On the contrary, traveling back is an arduous and lonely long march. glutinous acid
If the momentum is too strong, too much energy and mana will be spent on the front, which is really unwise.
Many leaders were vigorous and diligent when they first traveled, but they often failed to continue and were simply not sustainable enough.
However, both the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Girl could see that although the golden arowana in front of them, with three bright lights on its head, had a strong momentum, it was not trying its best, but had enough energy left to move with ease.
Sure enough, the golden arowana swam three hundred feet back in one breath.
The moment it swam more than three hundred feet back, the golden arowana seemed to be able to do so with ease.
It seemed that his sprint had just begun.
"Father, tell me, how far can Erlang charge?"
Qingying couldn't help but ask, her heart full of anticipation.
Long Jun shook his head: "You can't say, the next thirty-three feet will be more and more difficult. It's not that the true energy is not enough, but that the understanding of the practice method is not enough. If there is a slight loophole, all the previous efforts will be wasted and washed away by the river!" "
Qingying nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, her breathing seemed to slow down, and she remained motionless, watching quietly.
The incense burner curls up and gathers incense clouds.
Time passed little by little.
After traveling more than three hundred feet, the difficulty increases.
The speed of the golden arowana's backswimming has also slowed down significantly. It no longer rushes forward rapidly, but follows the current of the water, rushing left and right, as if it is arguing fiercely with some kind of existence.
Invisibly, a fierce debate on Tao is quietly going on.
After more than three hundred feet, a group of arowanas gathered together, like koi carps competing for food in a pond, piled together.
However, the performance of the golden arowana is still quite good.
Not long after, he stood out from the crowd of arowanas.
Three hundred and ten feet, three hundred and fifteen feet...three hundred and twenty feet...three hundred and twenty-five feet...
The golden arowana swam up step by step without any hurry or slowness.
Qingying was quite surprised when she saw this scene.
After traveling three hundred and twenty feet, Erlang obtained the earth-centered fire essence.
However, at this moment, Qingying did not think about the earth-centered fire spirit, but began to look forward to Chu Chen traveling further.
Long Jun, who has always been lazy and leisurely, is also looking forward to this meeting.
The last thirty-three feet became more and more difficult as we went to the back. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to move forward.
Especially after the golden arowana swam up to 330 feet, the situation became more and more dangerous.
Just after reaching 330 feet, an undercurrent accidentally hit the golden arowana, rolling it over and sending it back several feet.
Qingying's heart almost twitched when she saw it. She held Long Jun's hand and looked nervous:
"Father, is Erlang unable to rush forward?"
Long Jun waved his hand: "Don't make any noise, watch carefully, he is still perfecting his practice, there is still a chance."
"Oh~"
Qingying nodded obediently, her eyes unblinking.
Just as Long Jun said, the golden arowana that was washed down several feet did not give up. He lingered in place for a while.
Soon, after the aura around the golden arowana changed slightly, he began to swim upstream again.
This time, he rushed up to 331 feet in one breath.
But soon, it was brushed off again.
The golden arowana is unyielding, continues to perfect his practice, and keeps sprinting upward.
After going back and forth two or three times.
The golden arowana swam up to 332 feet and got stuck on the last half foot.
However, this time, the golden arowana did not rush forward bravely like before. Instead, it swung its tail and tried to maintain its original position.
"Father, why is Erlang not moving? He is barely breathing. Why is he not rushing? Is it because he has lost his strength?"
Qingying looked quite nervous and felt sorry for Chu Chen.
It would be a pity if he fell in the last half foot.
"No, no, no, he is planning a last ditch effort. Whether he can succeed or not depends on this time."
Long Jun was not worried but happy, just observing. At this moment, he was a little nervous.
still have a chance?
Qingying felt happy and fixed her eyes on the golden arowana.
Sure enough, the golden arowana moved.
The three colors of Qi above his head began to change quietly. First, the Qi of Tai Yin and the Qi of the Sun transformed into Yin and Yang Tai Chi, and then mixed and condensed with the Qi of Tiangang, evolving into golden light that bloomed in all directions.
The next moment, the golden arowana seemed to be assisted by a god, showing extremely powerful explosive power.
With a flick of his tail, he jumped out and broke through the three hundred and thirty-three-foot mark in one breath!
"If the human heart is in harmony with the heavenly heart, it will only be a moment of confusion! My heart is the heavenly heart!"
Long Jun stood up and laughed loudly, the laughter was quite hearty!
Another "Xianmiao" practice method is available!
Moreover, it was deduced based on the "Tianxin Zhengfa". It was simply a double happiness. How could Lord Long not be happy?
"Congratulations, father, congratulations, father!"
Qingying was also extremely excited.
Not only to congratulate her father, but also to congratulate Erlang. For her, it was also a double happiness.
"Great kindness!"
Lord Long laughed heartily. Even though he had profound spiritual practice and vast supernatural powers, he was not exempt from the secular world at this moment. His joy was beyond words.
However, while he was overjoyed, Long Jun remembered something, glanced at Long Nu with a smile on her face, and asked knowingly:
"Yinger, who is Erlang?"
