The old beggar stood in the sea of consciousness, turned his head and looked around, and couldn't help but be shocked. He was in a vast wilderness, with the wind blowing and the grass undulating like waves. The smell of earth hit his face, making him unable to tell the truth from the false. What kind of sea of consciousness and what kind of spiritual thoughts is this. If he could possess it, his future would be limitless!
The surprise only lasted for a moment, and the old beggar immediately realized that a fierce battle in the sea of consciousness was about to happen. He subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Yuanqiong suddenly appeared in front of him, unarmed, with two yellow dots dancing in his eyes. The smoke swirled like water for a while. The old beggar shuddered, his expression changed, he gritted his teeth, and a black air formed between his brows. He lost control in an instant, and rushed forward like crazy. The skin and flesh under his armpits cracked. He stretched out two arms, bared his teeth and claws, and wanted to Tear each other to pieces.
The fierce battle in the sea of consciousness lasted for hundreds of days, and Tao and Dharma fought to the death, but it was only a short moment in this world. Tan Yuzi fell to the ground. The old beggar's evil intentions made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She shuddered. She braced herself up and did not dare to fall asleep. She had to hold on until the end no matter what. She saw the ending clearly, but she saw Shen Yuanqiong closing his eyes. After rolling his eyes for a few times, he slowly opened them again, a tired look appeared on his face, and he let out a long breath. Her heart was pounding, and she gritted her teeth and struggled: "You...who are you?"
Shen Yuanqiong glanced at her lightly and turned a deaf ear. He walked aside and sat down with his back against the tree trunk. He spread his hands and feet and basked in the sun lazily, not bothering to say anything. He felt tired as never before and satisfied as never before. The Taoism of heaven was consumed and his vitality was greatly weakened. However, the old beggar’s powerful soul was an incomparable tonic. All the monsters before him All the souls put together are far less than this harvest.
Sure enough, only monks can truly make Taoism their own. Those stubborn monsters cannot bear it even if they get the chance. They are just the materials for walking. The old beggar can seize a little bit of Taoism from the bones, accumulate a little into a lot, gather the sand into a tower, and the spirit becomes so strong that it finally falls into his hands and enjoys the harvest, saving countless hours of hard work, like fattening cattle and sheep into the slaughterhouse. This is a good strategy. .
Shen Yuanqiong closed his eyes, as if sleeping but not sleeping, thinking about countermeasures in his mind. Unknowingly, the golden crow fell to the west and the jade rabbit rose to the east. However, he heard the rising and falling of footsteps in the distance. It seemed that there were countless people coming all the way, mixed with hesitation. perturbed. Unconsciously, he stood up and saw that the moonlight was as bright as water, illuminating the barren mountains and wilderness. Taoist priest Izumo of the Kaiyuan Sect led three or four companions. He looked a little embarrassed and stepped forward to greet him and explain his intention. .
The three of them went out of the city without concealing their whereabouts. The Kaiyuan Sect followed the trail, not out of resentment and chasing after them, but on the orders of the acting leader, Elder Mu, to talk things over and clear up the past grudges. Taoist priest Izumo's words surprised Shen Yuanqiong. Mu Yuanxiong was not weak in magical power, but he lowered his posture so low. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, but he intended to use Tan Yuzi's hand to reshape his body. Li Qifan Guan, the past grievances can be wiped out, which saves trouble and worry.
He thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and attributed the confusing fight last night to a "misunderstanding." Upon hearing this, Master Izumo let out a long sigh of relief, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. After saying a few polite words and saying goodbye, Shen Yuanqiong stopped him and said that Deng, the shopkeeper of Guanhe Tower in Jiannancheng, was old and had been taken care of by him before but could not repay him. He asked Izumo Taoist Priest Give him a life-prolonging elixir to end the relationship. Izumo Daoist Master agreed wholeheartedly. He had already inquired about the details of Deng Shen and Deng Shen. One was the old shopkeeper of a restaurant, and the other was the son of a jeweler. It was just a friendship in the business field, and it was just a pill. , it takes a little effort, benefits without any cost, and can form a good relationship with the other party, which is better than anything else.
Watching Taoist Izumo and his entourage meandering away, Tan Yuzi moved a big mountain on his shoulders, and his body and mind relaxed. He stepped forward and solemnly thanked Shen Yuanqiong, thanking him for pulling out the hidden danger in the sea of consciousness and avoiding a disaster of taking away the body. , two thanks to him to temporarily resolve Xie Yuanzong's hostility and gain a chance to breathe. Seeing that her mood had calmed down, Shen Yuanqiong casually asked about the whole story of Qifanguan's disaster. Tan Yuzi told her everything she knew, one by one. Although there was resentment towards Kaiyuanzong, Tengshangmen, and Qigugu Valley, Shen Yuanqiong said, But they also know that the real murderer has nothing to do with them. All the masters of the three sects fell under the blood cloud, which can be regarded as revenge for the master. Afterwards, Taoist priest Izumo and others followed closely. They can only regard it as personal vendetta against the master. The door has nothing to do with it.
Tan Yuzi's qualifications are mediocre, but her character is remarkable. She can clearly distinguish between right and wrong, and does not express anger or show disrespect for others. Shen Yuanqiong admires her quite a bit. Opening the skylight to speak frankly, he said to Tan Yuzi: "The murderer who destroyed Qifan Temple has great supernatural powers. Compared with Mu Yuanxiong, there is a world of difference. If you want to avenge your master, you will have no time to wait..."
Tan Yuzi's heart trembled, and a glimmer of hope immediately ignited. The other party seemed to know the murderer's roots, but Shen Yuanqiong said again: "Now you are the only one left in Qifan Temple, which exists in name only. I intend to borrow your name." Are you willing to start over and have a foot in the Xia Tu Taoist door?" She couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously said: "Qi Fan Guan... is a nunnery. Taoist friends established the sect with this, for fear of being criticized by others. ...How about changing your name?"
The other party had no intention of rejecting it, but felt that it would be disadvantageous to continue using the "Qi Fan Guan" brand name. Since it was a fresh start, he might as well change the name. Shen Yuanqiong said: "It doesn't matter, let's go to the old place of Qifanguan to settle down first, recruit some people to repair it, and then we can make long-term plans."
Tan Yuzi could not refuse his request, so he acted as he was told and took Jiang Youyi with him to follow Shen Yuanqiong westward to the old place of Qifanguan deep in the southwest mountains. Mu Yuanxiong had already inquired about the whereabouts of the three of them, and after a little thought, he knew that their trip was most likely to return to Qifan Temple. Since we have to make good friends at all times, we should not be afraid of "a hot face but a cold butt". He wrote two books and informed the two heads of Teng Shang Sect and Qi Valley. Do not neglect hospitality.
The three sects are headed by Kaiyuan Sect, and the two heads of Tengshangmen and Qigugu are all cunning and cunning people. Even Mu Yuanxiong was defeated one by one. They don't want to wade into this muddy water, so they simply stay out of the matter and let Mu Yuanxiong handle it. . Priest Izumo guessed Elder Mu's intentions, hired a carriage, and sent several maids left by Jiang Youyi and Jiang Huakui in "Yueyuan" on the road. He hurriedly caught up with Shen Yuanqiong and his party, spending all their food and accommodation. Make arrangements in advance and serve them properly.
Shen Yuanqiong guessed that the other party must have an agenda, so he didn't tell the truth and just let it go. Although Tan Yuzi was surprised, he didn't say much and silently followed Shen Yuanqiong westward. The journey was long and he was timid when approaching his hometown.
