Chapter 224: Red Spider Lily, Meeting Qinglian County Lady Again, Evil God
A ripple flashed across the Mingqiao Pier.
A woman in palace dress came into view. She was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly.
The woman said calmly:
"I've paid his toll, so let's start the boat."
The voice contained the majesty of a superior.
Although the other person was wearing a veil, Fu Shaoping was able to recognize the other person's identity at a glance through his eyes. He was just wondering why this person had come to the underworld.
The old woman folded a paper boat and threw it into the Yellow Spring River. The paper boat instantly became large enough to accommodate two people. The old woman turned around and glanced at the stunned Fu Shaoping, and said with a smile:
"You are so lucky, sir."
Fu Shaoping blushed, this was a mockery of him being a gigolo.
Thinking that one of the fates in the Xuanming Baojian was to live off gigolos, he seemed to have received a lot of help from his female relatives since he started practicing Taoism, which made him suspect that he actually had a hidden fate.
"What are you still standing there for? Get on board."
The woman in palace dress stepped on the dock with her toes and landed lightly on the paper boat.
Fu Shaoping responded quickly and stepped into the boat.
The paper boat floated downstream, and the dock and the old woman behind them quickly disappeared. Fu Shaoping then bowed and said:
"I pay my respects to the Qinglian County Master."
There was an old woman here just now.
It was not convenient for him to say hello, so only now did he thank County Lady Qinglian for the paper money for crossing the river.
The Qinglian County Lady swept her consciousness over Fu Shaoping and uttered a soft exclamation:
"When we last met, you were still in the middle stage of the Earthly Origin Realm. In less than two years, you have already broken through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. It seems like you have a good opportunity."
"This is all thanks to the county lady's great blessing."
Princess Qinglian glared at Fu Shaoping.
The voice was gentle:
"Since you have already practiced my method, we are from the same sect. You don't need to be so unorthodox like outsiders."
The last time the two met.
Fu Shaoping has not yet condensed the talisman.
How does the other party know that I am already a talisman master?
But on second thought, County Lady Qinglian was born in a princess's mansion. If someone wanted to find out, there would be nothing she could hide from the other party.
Therefore.
He cupped his hands again:
"Thank you, County Lord, for giving me the Chaos Meditation Technique. Otherwise, Shao Ping would not have been able to condense two talismans."
"and many more!"
A look of surprise flashed in County Lady Qinglian's eyes.
He looked at Fu Shaoping in disbelief.
Somewhat excitedly said:
"Show me your two sigils."
Fu Shaoping blinked. It seemed that the county lord didn't know much about his current situation. She must have asked the people below when she remembered it. He didn't hesitate to do so. He pinched his hands together, and with a humming sound, a yellow light lit up, and his natal talisman emerged from his body. Then there was a green light, and another talisman appeared, floating above Fu Shaoping's head.
"You really have broken through to the second-level Talisman Master?!"
Even if you see it with your own eyes.
County Lady Qinglian still found it a little hard to believe. After all, it had only been two years since Fu Shaoping began to cultivate his mental power. The cultivation of mental power was a hundred times more difficult than that of Yuan power. It was extremely difficult to condense a talisman.
Generally speaking.
Even a talented person would need five or six years to condense one talisman, and the time required for the next talisman would more than double.
This is why even the knowledgeable Princess Qinglian was so shocked.
Fu Shaoping simply made one talisman per year.
The speed of cultivating mental power is simply incredible.
Qinglian County Lady glanced at Fu Shaoping's natal talisman, and saw that there were tiny cracks on it, which were obviously damaged during the battle. Qinglian County Lady frowned. As a talisman master, the natal talisman is as important as one's own life. Fu Shaoping has no experience after all, so she had to give a few instructions:
"Although we cultivate both Yuanli and Mental Power, under normal circumstances, we should try not to use our natal talisman if possible. Once a natal talisman is damaged, it is ten or a hundred times more difficult to repair than to repair damaged meridians. Don't rely on the power of your natal talisman and abuse it wantonly."
The natal talisman is the talisman master's trump card.
Don't use it easily until the critical moment.
After Fu Shaoping experienced this several times, he also had this realization and nodded quickly:
"What the county lady said is very true. County lady, may I ask if you have any method to repair the talisman?"
of course.
Of course he wouldn't ask for it for nothing.
He immediately made it clear that he would pay the corresponding remuneration.
The Qinglian County Lord looked Fu Shaoping up and down, touched the storage ring, and a flash of light appeared. In an instant, an antique box floated towards Fu Shaoping. The Qinglian County Lord said:
"The Chaos Meditation I gave you before only had the first two levels. This is the follow-up method. In addition, there is also a method to repair the seal. Keep it close to you."
"Thank you County Lord."
Fu Shaoping was very excited.
According to the talisman master system.
He needs to condense another talisman and become a three-seal talisman master, and then condense the three talismans into a natal talisman. In this way, he will be able to become a talisman master respected by thousands of people.
The Talisman Master is at the same level as the Nascent Soul cultivator.
In other words.
But when he condensed the third talisman, his cultivation was equivalent to that of a Yuandan realm expert.
He put the box into the storage bag and thanked her solemnly again. No matter whether the subsequent skills given by Qinglian County Master had been tampered with, he would let the Xuanming Treasure Mirror swallow them and practice them again later.
The Chaos Meditation Method he has is definitely more complete than the one that Qinglian County Master gave him at the beginning.
After some conversation.
Princess Qinglian sat at the bow of the boat and meditated with her eyes closed.
Fu Shaoping walked to the stern of the boat and suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the Yellow Springs River. He leaned his head out to take a look and saw a woman who was submerged in the river and was sinking. The woman was struggling to raise her head.
See the other person's face.
Fu Shaoping was startled and exclaimed:
"Pan'er!"
Yes.
The one who drowned was Pan'er.
Without thinking, he reached out to pick the person up, but as soon as his hand was extended, he immediately retracted it in caution.
How could Pan'er, who was with Granny Xue, suddenly appear in the Yellow Springs River?
"An illusion. It must be an illusion."
But Pan'er's painful struggle was extremely real.
Fu Shaoping simply closed his eyes.
"Sir, you are so cruel that you actually abandoned me to die without saving me, wuwuwu"
A mournful voice rang in my ears.
Gentle and pleasant.
It makes people feel uneasy.
But as soon as this voice came out, the only trace of worry in Fu Shaoping's heart disappeared, because Pan'er would never call him "sir". After he regained consciousness, he opened his eyes instead.
The woman in the river no longer had any of Pan'er's beauty at this moment; she was clearly a skeleton.
At this moment, she was flirting with Fu Shaoping:
"Hehe, sir, there are so many sufferings in the world, why don't you go to hell with me and live freely."
Underneath the powdered bone skull.
At this time, white bones floated up one after another, densely packed and stacked up, making people feel cold all over.
along the way.
Various ghosts appear from time to time.
They obviously wanted Fu Shaoping's body, but they were afraid of the white lantern hanging on the paper boat. Above the lantern was a big "Ming" (Ming). Whenever they approached, the word "Ming" flashed slightly, and some of those who were unable to dodge in time let out strange cries.
After the paper boat sailed into the fog.
All illusions were gone. Fu Shaoping smiled. He had gained something from this journey, at least he had sharpened his mind.
The paper boat came out of the fog.
But I saw a port in front of me, and the shore was full of red flowers, blooming brightly:
“Is this the red spider lily?”
Legend has it that the red spider lily can help people enter reincarnation.
The entire port in front was filled with flowers, and a woman in a white palace dress was sitting among the flowers, which was particularly eye-catching.
"If this is the red spider lily, then we won't have to worry about resources for cultivation in this lifetime."
The Qinglian County Lady, who had been silent all the time, opened her eyes.
After the paper boat arrived at the shore.
With a light tap, his body passed over the flowers and landed on the underworld.
Fu Shaoping followed closely behind.
The woman in white palace clothes stretched out her delicate hand and touched the paper boat. The paper boat immediately surged with white light and sank into the other party's body. The woman in white palace clothes made a hoarse voice:
"Don't forget to return in one day."
The voice sounds like a weathered man.
But the other person has a beautiful female face.
When Fu Shaoping wanted to look back again, both the red spider lily flowers and the strange woman had disappeared.
Qinglian County Lady paused, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Where are you going? If it's not far, I can take you there. Otherwise, one day is not enough for you to go back and forth."
Fu Shaoping had no idea where to go.
He just followed the guidance of the jade talisman. Even if Qinglian County Lord got the fragment of the Ten Thousand Demon Wheel, it would still be a piece of scrap metal. Therefore, he did not hide it. He directly took out the jade talisman and showed it to Qinglian County Lord, saying:
"County Master, the place I want to go is the place indicated by this jade talisman."
The Qinglian County Lady glanced at the rune of the nine-tailed celestial fox behind the jade talisman.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
This is clearly something from Qingqiu Mountain.
He had heard that Fu Shaoping's first wife had the blood of a demon beast, but he never thought it was actually a nine-tailed celestial fox. It seemed that Fu Shaoping was indeed a man favored by destiny.
There is an old monster living in seclusion in Qingqiu Mountain.
Thinking of this, Qinglian County Lord said:
"The journey is not too far. I'll take you there."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, County Lord."
Fu Shaoping did not hesitate. In this underworld, he could die if he was not careful. The last time they met, County Master Qinglian was at the Yuandan realm. It would be best to have such a strong person leading the way. As for the favor, he would repay it when he had the chance in the future.
The Qinglian County Lady's lips moved, and she grasped Fu Shaoping's wrist with her delicate hand. Then she stepped forward with her right foot. Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of her eyes changed, and Fu Shaoping's eyes widened instantly:
"This is shrinking the steps into a seal!"
Shrinking one's steps to form a seal is a magical power that only Nascent Soul cultivators can perform.
in other words.
The Qinglian County Lady has actually broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Fu Shaoping couldn't calm down for a long time!
As expected, she was the most favored person by the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he remembered correctly, County Master Qinglian should be no more than a hundred years old. It was incredible that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age.
Now he is still in the Tianyuan realm.
It is still a long way from the Nascent Soul stage.
"Buzz!"
But Princess Qinglian didn't take many steps.
The jade talisman in Fu Shaoping's hand emitted a bright red light.
The red light drew a long arc in the air and fell down.
The Qinglian County Lady was floating in the air with Fu Shaoping.
The two looked down.
But I saw a Yin Temple standing below. The temple was very popular and there were endless stream of ghosts coming in and out of the Yin Temple.
The red light of the jade talisman fell on the main hall of the Yin Temple.
His consciousness swept away.
However, the statue enshrined in the Yin Temple was actually a centipede with thousands of legs.
Seeing Fu Shaoping's nervous expression, Qinglian County Lady sighed and said, "I will help him to the end."
"What you are looking for is the jade ruyi in the hand of the centipede with thousands of feet."
"Exactly!"
Fu Shaoping nodded quickly.
The Yin Temple was much more popular than his Tianlong Temple. A strange and powerful aura filled the entire temple. Fu Shaoping weighed it up and found that he was no match for it at all. It would be great to have the help of Qinglian County Master.
As the saying goes.
There are too many lice and they are not itchy.
He is very thick-skinned now.
But Princess Qinglian moved her right hand, and a clean bottle appeared in her hand, with a willow branch inserted in the bottle.
at this time.
The negative energy in the Yin Temple was gathering and surging.
Above the temple.
A centipede with thousands of legs that was a hundred feet long took shape, and it actually spoke in human language:
"Human, this is the land of the underworld. You, a first-level living being, have violated the rules by entering here. You are not careful in your actions. Do you dare to fight with me?"
The centipede with ten thousand legs glanced fearfully at the bottle in the hand of County Lady Qinglian.
Obviously.
It was slow to act, largely because of the purifying bottle.
Qinglian County Lady smiled gently:
"Brother Wanzu, I like the jade ruyi in your hand. I wonder if I can give it up."
"Insanity!"
The centipede was furious.
The other party actually dared to snatch my treasure. This is intolerable!
Immediately, all the feet began to move.
Instantly.
Light circles filled with condensed Yin energy appeared in the air and enveloped Qinglian County Lady. The light circles were endless, as if there was no end.
Wherever the aperture passed, it seemed that the space could not withstand this terrifying force and was about to be torn apart.
Fu Shaoping's eyes widened and he stepped back subconsciously.
Otherwise.
However, Princess Qinglian did not hide or evade.
She stretched out her slender hand and took out a willow branch from the bottle. The branch had a drop of green water on it. She gently threw the drop upwards, and it exploded and turned into a mist. When the light circles touched the water droplets, they melted away one by one, just like winter snow meeting the early sun.
The water mist continued to move forward, and as fast as lightning it transformed into a giant net that enveloped the centipede with thousands of legs.
The centipede was startled.
It never expected that the power of the Jingping Bottle was so huge. In a hurry, it quickly raised the Jade Ruyi. The Jade Ruyi spun around and turned into a gray gas shield that enveloped it.
When the believers below saw the evil god they worshipped being attacked, they, led by the temple priest, sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering something. Suddenly, the threads of faith above their heads became thicker and fell onto the centipede.
The centipede's body suddenly became much more substantial, and its aura suddenly became stronger.
The Qinglian County Lady snorted coldly.
He flew up directly, but the willow branch in his hand avoided the centipede and lashed down at the centipede statue below.
"Do not!!!"
