Jieshi Mountain.
A ball of black energy suddenly rolled up.
"Haha, one hundred and eighty years later, I have finally completed the 'Black Cloud Sutra'." The black energy gradually dispersed, revealing a middle-aged man with two graying hands.
He was called Tao Shiqing, and because of his martial arts skills, he was called "Wuyun Sanren" in the past. He is more than two hundred years old and is a casual cultivator. Due to an accidental fall into a cliff, not only did he not die, but he accidentally obtained a volume of "Black Cloud Sutra", thus entering the world of spiritual practice. He was once a famous figure in the world of casual cultivation in the Central Plains.
He is a cautious person. After suffering a loss in a duel one hundred and eighty years ago, he learned the hard way and decided that he would never escape unless he mastered the "Black Cloud Sutra".
Inadvertently, one hundred and eighty years have passed.
Now, his "Black Cloud Sutra" has finally been completed.
"From now on, in this world of cultivation, I, Tao Shiqing, will be invincible and dominate the Central Plains." Tao Shiqing laughed, filled with pride. He is only over two hundred years old in total, but he has spent nearly two hundred years practicing the Tao, which can be described as hard work. He himself is extremely talented, and coupled with the "Black Cloud Sutra", he is also the first-class cultivation method in the world.
Therefore, he speculated that his strength should now be close to that of the eminent monks of Tianyin Temple and the leader of the Qingyun Sect's Seven Lineages. He was deliberately magnanimous and extremely proud.
Waving his sleeves, he summoned a black cloud and rode the cloud energy away.
"Two hundred years have passed, and time really flies by. I just don't know if the enemies and friends of the past have turned into a handful of loess."
boom!
Just as Tao Shiqing was sighing with emotion, a thunderous explosion came out.
Tao Shiqing suddenly came back to his senses, looking far away, he saw two more groups of light fighting together in front of him, and from time to time there was an astonishing collision sound, like bursts of thunder.
"So strong."
Tao Shiqing was suddenly shocked. Although he had been in seclusion for more than two hundred years, his eyesight was still there.
Both of them are top monks when it comes to fighting skills. Even if he has now mastered the "Black Cloud Sutra", I am afraid that when it comes to fighting skills, the two of them are still just the same.
However, what made him slightly puzzled was that the fighting methods of these two people seemed to be different from those of the Central Plains Cultivation Sect.
Masters in the practice world generally manipulate magic weapons, seals, or kneading techniques. They do not need to jump up and down like people in the world. But when these two people were fighting, not only were the magic weapons bombarding each other, but their fists and kicks were also rapidly clashing. Every moment, there seemed to be hundreds of confrontations, and overwhelming energy roared out. In terms of power, it was no longer inferior to the magic weapons. .
Before Tao Shiqing entered the world of immortality, he had been hanging out in Jianghu for a while, and he could vaguely tell that the fists and kicks of the two were similar to Jianghu martial arts, but their power was definitely not the same.
"Hey, those two guys, what are you doing? Fighting is strictly prohibited outside the dojo."
At this moment, another black light came from a distance. Wu Guangzhong is a young boy who looks immature, with a serious expression.
"This little brat, doesn't he want to live anymore?"
Tao Shiqing frowned slightly. He could clearly see that the young man was not that big in appearance. He was not an accomplished cultivation master like him, with good looks. He was only in his twenties at most.
For those two masters, just a wave of their hands could make them seriously injured and fall to the ground.
However, what surprised Tao Shiqing was that the two powerful practitioners showed panic when they saw the young man.
The two looked at each other, withdrew their attacks at the same time, and then said to the young man with a mocking smile: "I have seen the law enforcement officer."
"Humph, I'm finally not stupid enough to run away. I have a Xuanguang Mirror on me. All your previous actions have been recorded and sent to the Law Enforcement Hall." The young man snorted coldly: "If you want to fight, just go to the 'dojo'. Really If you don’t want to die, I can apply for you to go to the Nordic battlefield and fight with those 'paladins'."
"The law enforcer is joking. The Holy Knight is defying destiny and is only a snap away from destruction. The two of us are not leaving." The two practitioners said quickly.
The law enforcement officer suddenly sniffed the young man's nose, and a trace of anger appeared on his brows: "Okay, not only did they fight in public, but they also drank alcohol and used magic weapons at high altitudes. There are towering peaks near Jieshi Mountain, and there are rugged rocks. There was one not long ago. The monk hit a cliff while drinking and suffered a bloody head. If he hadn't been saved by an old man who went up the mountain to collect medicine, no one would have known about his death."
The two practitioners laughed.
"Take out the magic weapon certificate."
The two practitioners took out a jade tablet and placed it in front of the law enforcer.
The law enforcement envoy glanced at the jade sign, took out a pen and paper, and wrote something unknown on it. Then he stamped it with an official seal and handed it to the two of them: "Go to the law enforcement hall to handle it yourself. You have drunk, so you can only walk. Or fly at low altitude, and the speed must not exceed 30.”
"knew."
The two of them took the ticket dejectedly, lowered the magic weapon very low, and walked forward slowly.
"There is still one."
The law enforcer saw Tao Shiqing, who was slightly startled. He drove the magic weapon in front of Tao Shiqing, his face changed from the previous sternness, and he smiled gently and said, "Hello, please show me your 'magic weapon certificate'."
"What, what magic weapon certificate..." Tao Shiqing was confused.
Before the retreat, he would not have even laid eyes on such a young monk.
But seeing the other two masters being so respectful before, naturally they didn't dare to be rude.
The young law enforcement officer frowned, with a chill on his face. He thought this was another guy pretending to be stupid. He looked him up and down, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Look at how you are dressed and what you are doing." Could it be that the body aura is that of a monk who has been in seclusion for hundreds of years?"
Tao Shiqing nodded.
The law enforcement envoy showed a look of surprise and said: "No wonder it is like this. You have no specific identity now and are considered a gangster. First, follow me to the nearby Liuyun City and complete various procedures. Along the way, I will also talk to you. Things that have happened in the practice world in recent years." After that, he took control of the magic weapon and headed east.
After Tao Shiqing thought for a moment, he followed the law enforcement envoy and left.
Under the narration of the law enforcement officer, Tao Shiqing gradually began to have troubles in seclusion during these years.
A hundred years ago, a wonderful monk in white came out of Tianyin Temple.
He was good at poetry, eloquent, melodious, and good at Buddhist teachings. He was master of all of them. He was the most popular monk at that time.
By chance, he understood that the roots of good and evil came from the Book of Heaven. The monks in the world were all members of the same family, so there was no need to fight and kill.
The real purpose of practice is to live forever.
So he returned to secular life and founded the Changsheng Tower, and was honored as the Master of the Jade Tower.
Because he was the first building owner and had great talent and strategy, he was regarded as the "Holy Lord" to distinguish him from all subsequent building owners.
The Jade Holy Lord swept across Liuhe and set the Central Plains in the Cauldron, and the righteous path of the Demon Sect surrendered.
All the major cultivation forces have returned to Changsheng Tower, and there are no more differences between sects in the world.
Afterwards, the Changsheng Tower replaced the secular dynasty, unifying not only the spiritual world, but also the human world.
After that, beast monsters caused chaos, and countless monks risked their lives and rushed to southern Xinjiang to resist the beast tide outside the Central Plains.
Lord Jade came out of seclusion and came from the East China Sea to kill the beast god and suppress the beast-monster chaos with the monks.
To this day, it has been one hundred and fifty-two years of Spring and Autumn Period.
The Changsheng Tower is completely different from any other dynasty in the past and present. Rather than saying it is a dynasty, it is more like a giant cultivation sect. After three generations of building owners, they worked hard and forged ahead. Nowadays, the territory of Changsheng Tower is vast, surpassing that of any previous era. It can be said that the world is peaceful and the seas and rivers are clear.
Over the past one hundred years, the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes under the rule of Changsheng Tower.
There was no need for the law enforcement officer to say more. Along the way, Tao Shiqing saw incredible scenes.
The most significant point is the increase in the number of practitioners.
Previously, there was nothing near Jieshi Mountain, but after flying for a while, I was shocked to find that the sky was full of light, with dozens or hundreds of rays of light flowing, and they were countless practitioners.
In Tao Shiqing's memory, there are very few practitioners. After all, even the Qingyun Sect, the leader of the three major sects of the righteous path, only has a thousand people, and most of them are practicing in the sect and rarely go down the mountain.
Compared with all living beings in the world, there are really very few practitioners.
Nowadays, practitioners can be seen everywhere.
According to the young law enforcer, this is because the Master of the Jade Tower advocates "teaching without distinction" and has opened "dojos" all over the world to teach the method of cultivation, thus doubling the number of practitioners.
Because of this, the skies in some prosperous towns became crowded, and Tao Shiqing saw people who looked like law enforcers giving instructions on how to pass through the skies in the towns.
In addition, Tao Shiqing also saw some special magic weapons.
These magic weapons all have one characteristic, that is - they are big.
This type of magic weapon can trap many people, similar to the carriage in the past, but it is much more convenient.
When passing through a small town, there was Sanskrit music singing, and the golden light was dazzling.
Tao Shiqing looked down and saw the Sanskrit sound coming from a wheat field.
There were many people standing outside the wheat field, but in the wheat field there was only a young monk with a smile on his face.
The monk clasped his hands together, dug his legs into the mud, and behind him emerged a statue of a Bodhisattva several feet high.
This Bodhisattva has hundreds of hands, holding a sickle-like tool in his hand. As the monk says "Amitabha", the statue begins to harvest in the wheat field. Under the cheers of the crowd and Tao Shiqing's astonishment, it only took four or five breaths for the Dharma image to finish harvesting a wheat field and even organize it in an orderly manner.
"This, this..." Tao Shiqing was extremely surprised.
"This monk is a talented young man from Puning Town. He recently returned home from the Taiyuan Academy for vacation. He majored in the Thirty-two Phrases of Tianyin Pavilion. What he uses now is the Thousand-hand Phrase, but he has not mastered the practice yet, and only has a Hundred-hand Phrase."
The law enforcer next to him explained, with a rare hint of envy in his tone.
After another conversation, Tao Shiqing gained a deeper understanding of the world.
"Dojos" have been opened all over the world, and the geniuses in the dojos, after passing the assessment, will be sent to the Taiyuan Academy on Liubo Mountain.
Taiyuan Academy is equivalent to a higher-level dojo. There are countless martial arts books in it, including the three major sects of Tai Chi, Xuan Qing Dao, Brahma Prajna, Incense Jade Book...
Among them, Taiyuan University can be subdivided into Sheng Tower, Fenxiang Tower, Tianyin Tower, Qingyun Tower, Xianhu Tower, etc. Among them, the most popular one, apart from the Xianhu Tower with countless beauties, is Tianyin Tower. None other than.
In the Tianyin Tower, there are inheritances from the Tianyin Temple in the past, as well as... the thirty-two phases left by the Jade Saint.
The Thirty-Two Phases may not be the strongest magical power, but there is no doubt that it is the most comprehensive magical power, and it is popular no matter where it goes.
Once a student who has learned the Thirty-two Signs graduates, they will immediately be robbed by all parties.
Speaking of this, the law enforcer next to him sighed again and again.
In the past, he was also a talented student in the dojo, and it was a certainty that he would enter the Taiyuan Academy. Later, he fell in love with another girl in the dojo, and then because he spent a lot of time in love, he lost his reputation...
Tao Shiqing patted his shoulder to express comfort.
The law enforcer chuckled and said, "But I don't regret it, because that girl is now my wife."
Tao Shiqing's comforting hand paused. Thinking of himself who had been a bachelor for a hundred years, he felt sad and continued to comfort, but his comforting hand was much stronger.
Not long after, a majestic city was visible in the distance.
"Brother Tao, let's talk first. This Liuyun City is one of the 'Five Cities on the Twelfth Floor' this year. It is different from other places. There are countless masters. You must be careful." The young law enforcer said with a serious face. : "Also, when I register your identity later, there will be a magic weapon similar to the 'Inquiry Mirror' placed next to it. You must answer honestly. Even if you have committed murder and arson, don't hide it, otherwise you will only get an extra penalty..."
"I understand, brother Li, I was just a casual cultivator before and didn't do anything bad." Tao Shiqing said helplessly: "You have said these words seven or eight times along the way."
During the communication process, he already knew that the law enforcer's surname was Li and he was called Li Qingkong.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."
While talking, the two of them had entered Liuyun City.
Even though he had seen countless things that were unbelievable to Tao Shiqing along the way, the moment he actually entered Liuyun City, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
There is a spacious road at the foot, enough for thirty cars to go parallel.
This is not a stone road, but what the young law enforcer calls a cement road, and it is very smooth to walk on.
Moreover, he could feel the flow of formations. It was obvious that the entire Liuyun City was protected by formations.
There is a neat physical and chemical isolation strip in the center of the driveway, which divides the entire driveway into two. Various flowers and plants are planted in it, all of which are carefully selected.
On the left and right sides, white lines are also drawn, and the white lines separate the human-shaped passage and the roadway.
There is also a faint flow of special spiritual power on the white line. Once a car loses control, the white line will emit light and block it without injuring pedestrians.
The streets are busy with cars and people. In addition to the horse-drawn carriages that Tao Shiqing knew, there were also many strange means of transportation, such as four-wheeled iron wagons that made a monster-like roar when running. There are also two-wheeled carts, usually for a single person to ride on. There are also trains suspended in the air, which are said to be driven by spiritual power. There are a total of twelve carriages, each of which can carry hundreds of people.
Since no flying is allowed in the entire sky except for special personnel, there was a huge flow of people on the ground.
Among these crowds, there were actually black-skinned or white-skinned foreigners.
Regarding this point, law enforcer Li Qingkong had already educated Tao Shiqing on it, and of course he remembered it.
Changsheng Tower continues to expand its territory, and has reached the place called Europe in the west, and only the last group of paladins are left to resist. The territory is extremely vast, and all kinds of people gather together.
And in this big city, Tao Shiqing came to understand more and more why the young law enforcer could easily identify the "old antique" that he had been in seclusion for many years.
Not only because the techniques that everyone practices now are related to the stone wall left by the Jade Lord, but also because of the issue of clothing.
Many of these costumes maintain the ancient style, but they have changed a lot from the past. Now they are more intuitive in Liuyun City.
These clothes are simpler, lighter and more revealing than they were a hundred years ago.
Especially the outfits of some little girls made Tao Shiqing, an old man who had not been close to a woman for two hundred years, salivate. Is the slit on the skirt a planned crease?
"Don't look at it, be careful because you won't be able to sleep at night." Li Qingkong smiled and patted Tao Shiqing's shoulder, not lightly.
"Ahem." Tao Shiqing coughed twice and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, I'm just admiring the scenery a hundred years from now."
Li Qingkong put down a palm-sized mirror. He had been talking to the mirror before and said with a smile: "I just talked to a friend from the 'Administrative Hall'. It's very busy there now. I asked him to register for you. Let's go first." After walking around the city, it should be almost done.”
Tao Shiqing nodded, smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you very much."
"Haha, this is our job." Li Qingkong laughed: "Let's go, let's go to the most famous 'Bai Yujing' first."
The two boarded a suspended train.
Compared with driving a magic weapon, this suspended train is a novel experience.
A quarter of an hour later, the two came to a huge square, which was crowded with people and surrounded by various shops and buildings.
The most eye-catching thing is a seven-story tower with the three characters "Bai Yujing" hanging on it.
In front of Bai Yujing, there is a sculpture of a nine-tailed white fox coiled up, with its nine tails spread out like it can cover the sky and the sun. The head is raised high towards the sky, as if looking at the moon. Even if it is withered, one can still feel the elegance and calmness of this nine-tailed sky fox.
"If the martial arts and magical powers of the good and evil sects in the past all originated from the Heavenly Book of Origin. Then the seven stone walls in the 'White Jade Palace' are the source of all the techniques in the current practice world. Unfortunately, the real 'Bai Yujing' and the Seven The stone walls are all on the holy land of Liubo Mountain, and only those who have made great contributions to the Changsheng Tower are allowed to enter."
Li Qingkong shook his head and sighed: "As for our 'White Jade Capital' in Liuyun City, Lord Bai Lou ordered it to be built, and the stone stele in it was carved by Lord Bai based on the seven-sided stone stele in Liupo Mountain. But this is the case. , is also the stone tablet on the 12th floor that has the true transmission of the Jade Lord, which is of great help to practitioners."
The Holy Land of Changsheng Tower is located on Liupo Mountain in the East China Sea.
To be more precise, it was the island in the lake that Yu Liancheng originally invited the magic masters to enter.
Yulian City once retreated on that island, and Bai Yujing and Qimian Shibi were on that island, so it gradually became a holy place.
If you want to enter the Holy Land and see the seven stone walls, you need to achieve great feats.
Except for the Ghost King, Puhong, Mrs. Sanmiao and others who followed the Jade Lord in the past, the number of people who can enter the Holy Land in future generations is no more than two hands. The monks who can enter the holy land are all those who have reached the level of sainthood. After looking at the stone wall, except for one of them who became possessed, the rest of them had their cultivation level skyrocketed, even creating incredible magical skills.
I am afraid that 99% of the monks in the world dream of entering the Holy Land, so that they can use the stone walls to get a glimpse of the avenue, and even achieve immortality and overlook the years.
There are also many ambitious people who want to sneak into the Holy Land secretly and spy on the secrets of heaven.
But it's a pity, not to mention that the holy land is already heavily defended, the black water black snake and water unicorn in the lake alone are enough to kill most of the monks in the world instantly.
Li Qingkong said: "The first floor of Bai Yujing can be viewed by any monk. But if you go up, you also need to make a contribution to the Immortality Building. I have already seen the stone wall on the first floor, so I will not go in. Go in, don’t stay too long.”
"Okay." Tao Shiqing nodded and walked into 'Bai Yujing'.
Due to the large number of visitors, Bai Yujing seemed small, but the actual internal space was quite vast. Therefore, Tao Shiqing chose a location and saw the stone wall at a glance.
There are two lines of text on the stone wall.
——Wandering to the North Sea in the morning and evening in the green sky, the green snake in my sleeve is courageous.
In addition, there is also a humanoid stone carving of a flying fairy wielding a sword.
Like everyone who saw the stone wall for the first time, Tao Shiqing was instantly immersed in some kind of silent shock.
It took a full quarter of an hour to wake up from this shock. Then he frowned, his eyes showed a look of thought, and he began to think about it.
After another half an hour, Tao Shiqing let out a long breath, thinking that he couldn't keep Li Qingkong waiting too long, so he turned around and walked out of the building, took two steps, looked back, and then looked upstairs again. One glance.
Just the first floor gave me such a great insight. I wonder what kind of words and graphics are carved on the stone walls of the six floors above. And whether the stone wall rumored to be left by the Jade Lord can really help people achieve immortality.
What a fascinating world.
After walking out of Bai Yujing, Tao Shiqing looked around and soon saw Li Qingkong reading newspapers and periodicals not far away.
"Wait a moment, I'll finish reading this."
Li Qingkong noticed Tao Shiqing's arrival, said something to the latter, and continued to read the newspaper.
Tao Shiqing glanced at his newspaper and found that it was a newspaper called "Qidian".
He was not very interested, so he looked at the newspapers and found that many of the headlines in today's newspapers were very similar, and they all had a faint scent of ink, as if they had just been published not long ago.
Liuyun Monthly Report: All the Paladins are destroyed, and the light of immortality shines on Europe.
Arc Monthly: A peerless genius from the Taiyuan Academy was born, the 'Qinghui Sword Immortal' who broke through the Holy Knight with his sword.
The contents of the newspapers and periodicals were pretty much the same. Moyo was the last Paladin to resist in Europe and was destroyed. The one who contributed the most was a peerless genius from Taiyuan Academy who killed the strongest Knight of the Apocalypse among the Paladins.
Li Qingkong finished reading one article. While he was happy, he was also cursed because of the author's broken chapters. Then he saw Tao Shiqing flipping through the newspaper attentively, and said with a smile: "The Holy Knight is using his arms as a chariot, and he can only end up being destroyed. I think the big shots in the Holy Land intend to train the students of Taiyuan Academy, so I didn't rush to kill them all. Unexpectedly, I still didn't persist. how long."
He came close to Tao Shiqing's ear and whispered: "It is said that this 'Qinghui Sword Immortal' is a peerless beauty, and she is half human and half fox. She is probably related to the previous Lord Bai Lou. Some people say she is the daughter of Lord Jade and Lord Bai Lou." .”
Seeing Tao Shiqing looking at him in surprise, Li Qingkong coughed twice: "Okay, I didn't say anything. Now that you have seen the stone carvings, let's go ahead and have a look at the 'Tianya Ancient Cave'. It is said that it was once The retreat of Immortal Tianya, who is an unparalleled powerhouse who has ever entered the Holy Land."
"Okay." Tao Shiqing nodded.
The sun was fading, and this was the first day after Tao Shiqing was born in seclusion. This day brought about earth-shaking changes in his life, but it was just the most ordinary day for all living beings.
