Chapter 45: Two Dragons Fighting
Under the gaze of the two, the young Taoist priest also bowed and said,
"My surname is Cheng, my given name is Qieqing, I am from Quxi, Kuaiji, and I practice Taoism at the Biyun Temple on Qingshen Mountain."
Langshanliu and Hujinliu looked at each other, as if they had never heard of it?
Langshanliu said with a smile, "Huiji, that's really far away! Why did the Taoist come to our poor and smoky place? And how did you save the people in my Miao village?"
Yunqi smiled and said, "This old man asked a lot of questions, so I answered them one by one. First of all, people like me who practice Taoism usually sit in meditation or travel. I've had enough of sitting here, so I came out for a swim, haha."
"Besides, Miao and Nan are located in Kun Palace, with abundant geothermal heat and endless rainfall, which breeds towering ancient trees. It is a rare blessed land, not a barren place at all!"
"As for the Miao village, it was a coincidence. That day, I just entered Miao territory from Sanxiang and asked to stay in a village. There was a child suffering from soul-damaging disease. I happened to have the soul-replenishing elixir made by my master, so I used it to treat the child.
"There's another interesting story. The surname of the villager is Nai, and the village chief is Sang Mu Nai. I thought his surname was Sang, so I always called him Mu Nai Gong!"
Langshanliu and Hujinliu looked at each other, stood up, and said in unison:
"Alang Renxin!"
In the Miao village, and of course anywhere else, a child's life is always more important than anything else. If someone is willing to give up a precious elixir to save a child's life, they, as Miao people, must be grateful.
At this moment they no longer called him Taoist priest or Xiao Lang, but called him A Lang, which was a very intimate and respectful way of addressing him.
Yunqi also stood up and told the two to be polite, "It is the duty of a Taoist priest to travel around, cure illnesses and save lives, and to do good deeds."
The Taoist priest wanted to make the two of them feel at ease, but he didn't expect Hu Jinliu's expression to change and he muttered,
"It's a good thing to treat illnesses and save lives, but I'm afraid that being a hero will befall us!"
Lang Shanliu glared at his nephew again. He realized that the older the child was, the harder it was to discipline him. He sneered:
"This Alang is a benevolent man from the East, not one of those murderous men from Shu. Keep your mouth shut!"
Hu Jinliu said "oh" and grinned at Yunqi again.
Yunqi nodded, "Fellow Daoist from the West has a lot of anger in his mind and doesn't follow the principle of inaction and naturalness. I have also heard about this."
Then he followed up the conversation and asked the young man, "My dear, I wonder which sect these Immortal Cave and Azure Dragon Cave you just mentioned belong to, and where are they located? I would like to ask you to stay there for a while."
Hu Jinliu said with a smile, "I have been to both of these caves. The Immortal Cave is in Zhulin, which belongs to the heart of Miao territory. It worships the Eight Immortals. The Qinglong Cave is in southeast Guizhou, close to the Southern Wasteland, very close to our area. It worships the God Mengzhang and the Seven Stars of the East. If you want to ask about the specific legal system, I don't know."
Yunqi nodded. Knowing who was being worshipped, it was not difficult to guess the legal system. It seemed that the Immortal Cave practiced the Zhonglu School of the Golden Elixir Dao, while the Qinglong Cave practiced the Louguan Dao, also known as the Stargazing Dao, which should be the main practice of the Eastern Wood Element.
He smiled and said, "Then of course I'd choose a place close by, or go and disturb Qinglong Cave."
At this time, Langshanliu said, "Alang, you don't know that recently, Hongmu Ridge and Baiman Mountain are fighting, and the battle line is in this area. The Taoist priests of Qinglong Cave will also join Hongmu Ridge to kill the demons. If you go to Qinglong Cave, you will not be able to live in peace. If you want to practice in seclusion, you might as well go to the Immortal Cave in the back."
Yunqi shook his head, "Fang also said that wandering is not for pure cultivation, but to slay demons and monsters!"
"it is good!"
Hu Jinliu responded.
Yunqi then asked, "Uncle, I am from the Eastern Small Sect. I am isolated from the news and have just come to the southwest. I have only heard that Baimanshan is the leader of the Southern Wilderness Demon Sect, and your clan Hongmuling is the leader of the Miaojiang side sect, but I don't know the grudges and details. Can you help me solve this puzzle?"
The uncle and nephew looked at each other again. Langshanliu thought that since they were both injured and killed a demon from Baiman Mountain, he was not in a hurry to go back and report. It was a good opportunity to recuperate here. He said to Hujinliu, "You are always talkative. Come and tell Alang."
The young man said happily,
"Just now my uncle said this is a barren land, and Alang said this is a blessed land, I think both are right. This was originally a blessed land, with only the Miao people and the Gui people, but later on more and more people, demons, ghosts, and monsters came, from all over the world, and some even came across the ocean. With so many people, we have to divide them into sects. You are from the Taoist sect, I am from the side sect, and there are also the magic sect and the Buddhist sect. Recently, there is a saying about the mysterious sect. With so many people, they all say that they are the right one. Don't we have to fight? If we keep fighting and there is no peace, won't the blessed land become a barren land?"
Upon hearing this, Yunqi looked at this seemingly rough man with new eyes!
This simply explains the truth that has remained unchanged in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years!
There are so many people! Everyone has their own ideas!
Yunqi bowed, "Brother Lang's words are simple and easy to understand, and they are very wise."
Hu Jinliu waved his hands, "Haha, nonsense, nonsense.
“If you want to ask about the battle between Hongmu Ridge and Baiman Mountain, that happened a long time ago.
"Early in the days when there were no evil sects on this land, we Miao people and Gui people have been fighting. At that time, we were fighting for farmland, water sources, and women to give birth to children. There was no day without fighting.
"Later, a red-haired ancestor came to our Miao side. He was very powerful and practiced in Hongmu Ridge. Many of us Miao people went to join him. And a green-robed ancestor came to the Gui people. He practiced in Baiman Mountain. Naturally, the Gui people also surrounded him.
"At that time, our ancestors didn't know anything about the side doors and devil sects. If you don't learn the law, you will be killed by those who have learned the law, so you must learn it!
"We only realized after we learned that our family's magic is fierce. Among the three essentials of essence, energy and spirit, the main one is essence and the auxiliary one is energy. Although it is a little difficult to cultivate the spirit, it is still possible to live forever. In addition, there are two rules in the sect: not to kill innocent people indiscriminately and not to use people to practice magic. Well, with these three rules, this is called a side sect.
"The old thief in green robe doesn't practice immortality, but only the art of killing. He even searches the soul and refines the corpse at every turn, and can be ruthless to himself. This is the evil cult!"
Yunqi bowed his hands to indicate that he was willing to learn.
Langshanliu patted the young man on the head and said, "Speak properly and show some respect to our ancestors and Hongmu Ridge!"
The young man didn't take it seriously and continued, "Why can't you say it? There are people who say that our ancestor and the old thief in green robe are not human beings! I haven't heard these two say anything, but the rumors are so concise, I heard that they are true."
"You can hear nothing!"
Langshanliu roared at him.
Yunqi was now interested, "Uncle, there is no outsider here, Langge, please continue."
Hu Jinliu chuckled, "Rumor has it that our ancestor is a brocade dragon, belonging to the element of fire, and the old thief in green robe is a black dragon, belonging to the element of water. They are not on good terms. Rumor has it that the dragon vein in Nanling can only give birth to one real dragon, so these two are fighting to the death!"
