Out of the backyard.
Passing through a green bamboo forest, there is a bottomless abyss ahead.
Above the abyss, there is an ancient single-plank bridge.
Opposite the wooden bridge is a solitary peak shrouded in clouds and mist, with flying cranes.
The Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Ziyang Temple is located on the solitary peak.
Master Yiqing held the fly whisk in his arms and led the three of them onto the single-plank bridge. He said respectfully to the other side: "Uncle Yimu, I need to take three friends to the Jing Pavilion to have a look."
An old and distant voice came from the lonely peak: "Senior Brother Ziyang has told me, you go."
Master Yiqing bowed his head and saluted, and walked over with the three of them.
When we reached the other side, we passed through a small road, and the Taoist Sutra Pavilion suddenly appeared in front of us.
Master Yiqing led the three of them up the steps and arrived at the door of the Sutra Pavilion. He waved the dust in his hand and gently opened the door. Then he turned around and said warmly: "You three friends, please go in and read. The first floor is the history of Taoism." , cultural and other information, the second floor is the travel notes of Taoist predecessors, as well as some stories, etc., the third and fourth floors are all exercises, scriptures, etc. The fifth floor is the place where my Taoist predecessors once meditated. I have never been up there. But Uncle Ziyang said that the three little friends can visit this Sutra Pavilion at will."
Luo Qingzhou quickly thanked him.
Master Yiqing nodded with a smile, said no more, and left.
Luo Qingzhou wasted no time and went straight into the house, found the stairs, and went straight to the third floor.
The three of them searched on the bookshelf together.
Soon, ten sets of exercises were selected.
Two sets of internal skills, five sets of boxing techniques, one set of sword techniques, and two sets of stick techniques are all available at the King of Martial Realm.
While Luo Qingzhou was thinking, Yue Yao handed him three books and said: "A set of internal skills, a set of boxing techniques, and a set of stick techniques."
Luo Qingzhou took it in his hand and looked at the name on the book.
The inner strength and mental method is "Black Turtle Breathing", the boxing method is "Chaos Opening the Sky", and the stick method is "Ruyi Breaking Demon Stick".
Xiaoyue immediately took three books and handed them over and said, "Brother, I think these three sets of exercises are suitable for you."
Then he glanced at the book in his hand and hummed: "In terms of internal strength and mental skills, "Tian Xuan Earth Spirit" is definitely better than your turtle. In terms of boxing skills..."
"Xiaoyue, I want these three books."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingzhou had already made up his mind.
Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then said angrily: "Senior sister's choice must be better than others' choice? Do you only believe in senior sister?"
Luo Qingzhou walked to the table and sat down, opened the book in his hand, and said: "No, in fact, I just took a fancy to these three sets of exercises."
Xiaoyue was even more angry: "Brother is lying! Brother obviously doesn't believe me, only senior sister!"
Luo Qingzhou raised the book in his hand and said: "The inner skill and mental method I practiced before was "The Breath of the Divine Turtle", so this book is more suitable for me. As for the boxing method, "Chaos Kaitian" is fierce and domineering, which is just right for me. The boxing techniques I have practiced in the past. As for the stick technique, my wooden stick can be made longer or shorter, thicker or thinner, which is also suitable for practicing this set of "Ruyi Breaking Demon Stick"."
Xiaoyue was immediately discouraged, pouted her little lips, and muttered with a faint expression: "Anyway, as long as the senior sister chooses it, it is the best, and as long as the senior sister says it, it is right. In front of the senior sister, my brother is like a ...a little licking dog, hum!"
Luo Qingzhou pretended not to hear and continued to look at the internal skills and mental techniques.
Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly brightened again: "By the way, brother, you can also memorize the other techniques. Anyway, the head teacher said that I can look at all the techniques here."
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and said: "Don't be too greedy. And for me, three sets are enough. If there are more, I won't be able to practice."
Then he added: "You and Sister Yue can also go pick out a few sets."
Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go take a look."
After she left, Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remembered it seriously.
Page after page, everything was quickly memorized in my mind.
One day flies by in the blink of an eye.
the next day.
When Luo Qingzhou put the three sets of exercises back on the bookshelf, he suddenly found a plume of black smoke rising from the three books, and then they burned and quickly turned into ashes.
"Sister Yue, what's going on?"
He was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked.
Yue Yao pondered for a moment and said: "These books all appear in another form. Maybe after you read them all, its energy will be exhausted and it will disappear."
Luo Qingzhou said in surprise: "Fortunately, we only chose three books, so there was no waste."
Yue Yao looked at him and said calmly: "It's not your thing, so what if it's all wasted?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue also said that this is a Taoist holy land. These books are treasures, and treasures that can only be read once are even rarer. Maybe other cultivators will have the opportunity to come here in the future, and maybe even And for our descendants, it is better to keep it than to waste it.”
Yue Yao looked at him deeply and said nothing.
At this time, Xiaoyue suddenly walked out from the bookshelf next to her, and said quietly: "Brother really covets senior sister's body, has he even thought about his descendants?"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and said: "Let's go. Although we are allowed to stay here for three months, it is better to leave as soon as possible. Looking at these people and things, there is always a creepy feeling."
The three of them went downstairs and exited the Sutra Pavilion.
Just as I walked to the single-plank bridge, an old and distant voice suddenly sounded from the peak behind me: "If I guess correctly, the three little friends should be human beings, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were suddenly startled and turned around to look.
There was no one behind him, only the old voice said: "Sure enough, no wonder those books disappeared... The three of you should go out as soon as possible. As far as Pindao knows, all the gates to the human world will be closed soon. "
Luo Qingzhou quickly thanked: "Thank you, senior, for informing me."
The three of them crossed the single-plank bridge and entered the Taoist temple.
Master Yiqing came out to greet him and said with surprise on his face: "Are the three little friends leaving after just watching for one day?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I have chosen three sets of exercises and have memorized them in my mind."
Immediately, he took out a piece of folded rice paper, handed it to him with both hands, and said, "This is the remaining text of the Tao Te Ching. I will leave it to the real person."
Master Yiqing quickly took it solemnly, without inspecting it. He bowed and said, "Thank you very much, little friend."
The three of them said goodbye and left without staying any longer.
Master Yiqing personally sent them outside the temple and watched them go down the steps before turning around and entering the Taoist temple.
At this time, he quickly took out the rice paper and unfolded it to take a closer look.
"There is a mixture of things, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, moves around without dying, and can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name. The strong word is called Tao, and the strong name is called Da..."
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature..."
His hands trembled, and the white beard hanging on his chest also trembled. He said with excitement: "Uncle Ziyang is not exaggerating. This Tao Te Ching is the supreme treasure of my Taoist sect!"
When Luo Qingzhou and the others walked halfway up the mountain and turned around to look, the Taoist temple on the mountain suddenly and strangely disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Xiaoyue suddenly asked curiously: "Brother, what is the second incantation you wrote?"
Luo Qingzhou looked away and said: "Golden Light Spell."
Xiaoyue said: "What is the Golden Light Spell?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "One of the eight divine incantations of the Tao Sutra. After it is completed, golden light can protect the body, protect the Tao, and be invulnerable to all things."
When Xiaoyue heard this, she was surprised and said: "Is it so powerful?"
Then he glanced ahead sourly and said dissatisfiedly: "No wonder someone just snatched it away without saying a word."
Unexpectedly, Yue Yao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "One of the eight great curses? In other words, you still have seven more that you haven't told me, right?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Tell me when you get back."
Yue Yao said lightly and continued to go down the steps.
Xiaoyue suddenly said angrily: "Why? Senior sister, you are asking your brother for something, and you are so demanding. My brother doesn't owe you..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "Xiaoyue, whatever Sister Yue wants from me, it's all right."
Xiaoyue was silent for a moment and said angrily: "But can't she speak properly? She has been acting coldly all day long, as if someone owed her money, and she still had a commanding tone. Huh, why does she have to order you? Only me. ...Only his wife can give orders to him, and she is not one of them!"
Luo Qingzhou held her hand and whispered: "Okay, don't say it. We have gained a lot this time, all thanks to Sister Yue. We will find a place to stay later, and I decided to practice here for a few days." God, maybe the soul can directly break through to the realm of unity."
Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother's soul process is full?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said: "It was only a few o'clock. I just used the body identification stone to check that the progress has reached 100. The aura here... seems to be very beneficial to the progress of my soul cultivation. Effect."
When Xiaoyue heard this, she suddenly said excitedly: "Really? Great! My brother will soon become a master of the Guiyi realm! In addition to Dean Bai, our Dayan has no other masters of the Guiyi realm? And brother You are still so young, and you are still cultivating both body and soul! Also, my brother is about to break through to the realm of the King of Martial Arts! Oh my God, my brother is so amazing! He is the best and invincible cultivation genius in the world! My sister admires you so much, Love you so much!”
Xiaoyue said excitedly, while holding his arm and rubbing her cheek, like a flattering little licking cat.
Luo Qingzhou glanced ahead and said humbly: "Sister Yue is a genius in cultivation, much better than me."
Xiaoyue snorted, but could not refute, so she could only murmur in a low voice: "It was not because of her brother that she could practice again. Without her brother, she would have been practicing such ruthless skills..."
"Xiaoyue, stop talking."
Luo Qingzhou immediately interrupted her.
As soon as the three of them reached the foot of the mountain, a figure suddenly walked out of the woods on the right.
Wearing a black dress, with a tall figure, eyes flashing red, and a black aura lingering around her body, she was the girl named Wanyan Zi.
"I am not waiting for you specially. I am just bored and wandering around."
It was still the childish voice of a little girl.
Yue Yao stopped, looked at her and said, "I heard that you have a Pluto Pearl, which contains infinite Nether Spiritual Energy. It can make the Yin Soul practice quickly, break Yin Soldiers, and travel between the human world and the Nether World at will."
When Wanyan Zi heard this, her expression suddenly changed: "Who did you listen to?"
Yue Yao did not answer, but said: "If you have it, give it to him, and he will give you what you want."
Wanyanzi's expression changed a few times and she said, "I don't have it!"
Yue Yao said calmly: "Forget it."
After saying that, she continued to walk forward.
Luo Qingzhou and Xiaoyue immediately followed her.
The three of them walked some distance.
Luo Qingzhou turned around and saw that the girl ghost king named Wanyan Zi was still following behind.
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll eat you!"
Wanyan Zi bared her teeth, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth, and said with a ferocious expression.
Luo Qingzhou walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Sister Yue, and whispered: "What does she want?"
Yue Yao said: "The roots of the holy tree. It can take root in the netherworld and grow in the netherworld."
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "If I give it to her, will Xiaoshu die?"
Yue Yao said: "No."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Then give it to her."
As soon as these words came out, Yue Yao suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at him, paused, and said, "Just because she is a woman?"
Xiaoyue also muttered from behind: "Brother is so lustful! He is so hungry that he even wants to lick the ghost's feet."
Luo Qingzhou quickly explained: "Of course not. I just think that as a ghost king, she is so low-key, very polite to us, and looks good. And Sister Yue also said that the roots of the small tree give Even if I lose her, Xiaoshu won't die, so I just want to make a friend."
Xiaoyue hummed: "What if she is a man, or looks ferocious? Is my brother still willing to be so generous?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment, but couldn't answer.
But he could be sure that he certainly didn't covet the ghost king's body, he really wanted to make friends with her.
"Humph, brother is speechless!"
Xiaoyue said a little angrily.
Luo Qingzhou didn't say any more and said: "Listen to Sister Yue. It's just that I want to find a place to practice, and it's not an option for her to follow me like this."
Xiaoyue immediately took out the Fire Moon Gun and said: "Brother, wait a moment, sister, go and drive her away!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and said: "Don't follow us anymore, otherwise, I want you to look good!"
"Jiejiejiejiejie..."
At this moment, dense numbers of Yin soldiers and ghost generals suddenly flew in from all directions, armed with swords, guns and sticks, and surrounded the three people with murderous intent.
And Wanyan Zi's body suddenly exuded a powerful aura, a scarlet cloak suddenly appeared behind her, and wisps of red light swirled around her.
A third eye actually appeared between her eyebrows.
Xiaoyue immediately retreated and whispered: "Brother, let her follow. She is idle anyway..."
Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked behind him.
Yue Yao also stopped in front.
Wanyan Zi's voice was still the childish voice of a little girl, but extremely arrogant: "Keep your things and spare your lives!"
"Zi..."
Luo Qingzhou's fist suddenly lit up with a purple lightning bolt.
Wanyan Zi's pupils shrank, but she still said coldly: "This is my king's territory. No matter how powerful you are, you still have to kneel down and speak to me!"
"Zi..."
Luo Qingzhou's fist once again lit up a red lightning bolt.
Then, another black thunderbolt lit up.
Wanyan Zi opened her mouth, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face.
"Zi..."
At this time, Luo Qingzhou's fist suddenly lit up with a golden thunder and lightning, and a small white thunder and lightning.
Although the white thunderbolt was the smallest, it kept dancing on the other four thunderbolts, as if treating them as toys.
The moment he saw the white thunder and lightning appear, Wanyan Zi's expression finally changed.
At this time, a golden font also appeared between Yue Yao's eyebrows. As the golden light flashed, a powerful Taoist aura spread out in all directions.
The ghosts and monsters that were shouting around them suddenly froze and were frozen in place.
There was sudden silence in the field.
After a while.
The third eye between Wanyan's purple eyebrows and the scarlet cloak behind her suddenly disappeared.
The powerful aura on her body also disappeared.
She suddenly looked at Luo Qingzhou, imitating Xiaoyue's tone and said softly: "Good brother, you just said you would give the roots of the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth to your sister. Is that true?"
Xiaoyue: "???"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "I need the Pluto Pearl."
Wanyan Zi sighed and said: "My sister just wants to make friends with her brother. Aren't friends very innocent? How can we exchange benefits? Brother, don't listen to the temptations of some bad women. Just do what you want. Brother It’s up to my brother to decide what to do.”
As she spoke, the scarlet light in her eyes flashed.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed with green light, and he said: "It's useless for you to use techniques to confuse my mind. Give me the Pluto Pearl, and give you the roots of the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth. If you want to rob it by force, both sides will suffer."
Wanyan Zi was silent for a while and said, "Good brother, can I exchange it for other treasures? The Pluto Pearl is very important to my sister."
Xiaoyue said angrily: "Don't imitate me!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Sister Yue and said, "No, I want the Pluto Pearl."
There was a hint of anger in Wanyan Zi's eyes.
At this time, Yue Yao suddenly said: "Give him the Pluto Pearl, but you are actually helping yourself. If you get roots, you will naturally need roots to grow in the Netherworld to help you practice. But only roots can grow here, not above. trunk and leaves, so the survival of roots has a time limit. What will you do when the roots are gone?"
After a pause, she continued: "And if he has the Pluto Pearl, he can become more powerful and make the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth grow more roots, because the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth grows by watering it with his blood. .When the time comes, he can give you a steady stream of roots."
Wanyan Zi's eyes flashed scarlet and she said, "Why do I believe that he will come again?"
Yue Yao said calmly: "He doesn't need to come back. When the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth grows to a certain height, it needs to leave him, take root in the earth, and reach up to the sky. By then, the roots will penetrate the earth and take root in the netherworld."
Wanyan Zi suddenly understood: "The Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth has a powerful barrier, and not everyone can get close to it for cultivation. But because I used its roots to practice when I was young, I have its aura in my body. I will not get close to it when the time comes." It's very easy, right?"
Yue Yao nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and said: "There is another advantage. His breath is contained in the roots, and you should also have his breath in your body by then. You should have seen his physique just now. If you can overcome the tribulation at that time, it will be easier than other ghost kings. At least, there is no danger of your soul flying to pieces."
Wanyan Zi's face suddenly filled with excitement: "Seriously?"
Yue Yao said calmly: "You can choose not to believe it."
Wanyan Zi frowned and hesitated for a long time before raising her head and saying, "I believe it!"
Then he added: "If it were anyone else, I would definitely not believe it. But you...although I don't know who you are, I feel that you are worthy of trust. Moreover, you have a strong Taoist charm, a despicable and treacherous person, It is impossible to achieve such an achievement.”
After speaking, she raised her right hand and placed it on her heart.
"Wow!"
A ray of red light blooms like a colorful cloud.
Immediately, a red bead the size of a dove egg slowly emerged from her body.
There was a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth, took it out, and held it in her palm.
She raised her head and looked at the human boy in front of her, and said pitifully: "Good brother, it is my sister's heart. My sister has given you her only heart. Don't let down or deceive your sister."
"vomit--"
Xiaoyue retched beside him.
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything. He walked up to Sister Yue and whispered: "Sister Yue, how do you take out the roots of the small tree? Do you need to use the soil to dig it out? What tool should you use to cut it? Can a flying sword do it?"
Yue Yao didn't answer. He stretched out his finger and a wooden box flew in front of Wanyan Zi.
Wanyan Zi was stunned for a moment, then immediately took it in her hand and opened it carefully.
"Wow!"
A golden light suddenly bloomed from the wooden box, and then a golden figure shot out from the open mouth of the box, trying to escape!
"Snapped!"
Wanyan Zi was prepared and closed it immediately.
She smelled the smell just now and said with excitement: "It's the roots of the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth! Sister Yue, thank you, I know you are a good and trustworthy person!"
Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, "Don't call me Sister Yue."
Sister Yue is exclusive to him.
Wanyan Zi smiled and flicked the Pluto Bead in front of him and said: "Good brother, remember to come down often to play with your sister. With the Pluto Bead, you can come down at any time. I heard from Xiaoyue that my brother likes girls. The child’s feet, right? My sister has many girls, and my brother can play with them as he pleases. If my brother likes to play with my sister’s feet, my sister will do the same.”
Xiaoyue suddenly became angry and said: "Don't imitate me! You little licking dog!"
Wanyan Zi completely ignored her, waved her hand and said, "Brother, Sister Yue, then Ah Zi will leave first. I'll see you again later."
After saying that, she immediately took the wooden box and left impatiently.
The other Yin soldiers and ghost generals all around also dispersed in a chorus.
"Damn it! Looking at the way she talks and listening to the tone of her voice, I feel so disgusting and ashamed!"
Xiaoyue said bitterly.
"Sister Yue, do you need it?"
Luo Qingzhou handed the Pluto Pearl to Sister Yue.
Yue Yao Liu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said calmly: "This is my heart, it's for you."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward.
"There is a valley ahead, go there to practice."
Luo Qingzhou quickly followed.
I hope that the three sets of techniques and the ghostly aura here will not disappoint him.
"Huh?"
Xiaoyue suddenly raised her head and looked at the night sky in the distance: "What is that?"
A crimson waning moon hung in the night sky.
At the same time, another crimson waning moon rose, flew into the sky, and disappeared.
"Daomang?"
Luo Qingzhou guessed.
