Xu Qing passed the Elephant Trunk Cliff and arrived at the thatched cottage where the old Taoist priest practiced. He did not try to conceal his spiritual aura.

The old Taoist priest sensed it immediately, came out to greet him, and was secretly surprised.

He originally thought that Xu Qing would need another year or two to possess his spirit, but he didn't expect that he had already done it. However, considering that the other party had raided the house of Duke Yansheng, it was not surprising that there was a strange fate.

"In spiritual practice, blindly advancing with courage and diligence is not a good thing." The old Taoist thought sourly.

He then showed Xu Qing a friendly smile, "Gongming, why are you coming to Longhu Mountain again?"

Xu Qing clasped his fists and said, "I got into trouble down the mountain. I thought that in such a big world, only you, the old senior, could help me, so I came here to ask for your protection."

The old Taoist priest was shocked and horrified. Could it be that you, Xu Gongming, rebelled?
Ah this?

Isn't it a bit early?

As soon as Xu Qing saw his expression, he knew that the old man had misunderstood, and quickly explained the general reason and his guess.

After hearing what happened, the old Taoist priest felt dizzy as he thought, you might as well rebel now that you have provoked the Black Mountain Demon!
Xu Qing flattered, "The Taoism of Longhu Mountain is the best way to subdue demons in the world. After much thought, I think only the old senior can help me."

The old Taoist priest resisted the urge to chase the brat down the mountain and asked, "You did use the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Knife to create a cause and effect with the Black Mountain Demon. But after you killed the Liang guy, how could you be so sure that the Black Mountain Demon would take revenge on you?"

Xu Qing: "I have studied hard and have learned the way of sincerity. I have some premonitions about future disasters and blessings."

Anyway, no matter whether others believe it or not, he believes it himself.

This can also explain some of the unreasonable things about him.

Moreover, he has realized the way of utmost sincerity, and his writings are comparable to those of sages. If others want to touch him, they have to be wary of the halo around him.

Since ancient times, those who go against saints will never have a good ending!

The old Taoist priest said, "Oh," This is a bit like my Taoist inspiration. Gongming is indeed a natural born scholar."

Xu Jieyuan took the initiative to go to Longhu Mountain to seek refuge, so the old Taoist priest naturally had no reason to push him away.

This is how friendships among practitioners develop.

Today I will ferry you across, and tomorrow you will ferry me across.

This is the law of karma.

Of course, this is also because the old Taoist priest values ​​Xu Qing's potential and influence. If it were someone else, he would have directly struck out with a palm thunder.

This was also the reason why Xu Qing asked the old Taoist priest for help.

Of course he knew how powerful the abbot of Chaotian Temple was, but the capital city was too treacherous. If he ran to the capital city, he would be trapped like a dragon or a tiger, and he might be ambushed.

If he responded to Tianfu, Lord Fang might be able to deal with the Black Mountain Demon, but Lord Fang's protection of him was related to the court's major plans. This matter was purely for personal gain. Even if Lord Fang helped, I'm afraid it would greatly reduce his impression score.

For this kind of trump card, personal connections and impressions are very important, the less you spend, the better.

The old Taoist priest is different.

Last time he helped the old Taoist priest, so this time he should return the favor. And favors are accumulated through mutual help.

He came to find the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest came to help him. He would naturally be rewarded in the future, and Longhu Mountain was also tied to Xu Qing's warship.

This is an opportunity for the old Taoist priest to invest and buy shares.

People become more cunning as they grow older, how can you not understand this?

Anyway, the world is so big, there are plenty of people who want to board Master Xu’s boat, and the Tianshi Mansion can also refuse. Just don’t regret it in the future.

For example, the Southern Sect of the Kong family is now secretly communicating and flirting with Xu Qing.

The old Taoist priest understood the situation and said, "Since Gongming has practiced the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blade, he should be able to deal with the Three Corpses of the Black Mountain Demon."

Xu Qing asked, "I heard that the old demon is the best demon in the world, with great magical powers and boundless power. Can I and the old senior team up to deal with him?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Gong Ming, you don't know that the old demon was seriously injured in the past, and I have not recovered yet. Even if I come to deal with you, I am only one of the three corpse spirits."

"Could these three corpse spirits be incarnations or something like that?"

The old Taoist priest nodded: "Although he is an incarnation, he should not be underestimated. Moreover, the old demon has many treasures in his hands. If he attacks, it will be a big trouble. Fortunately, you have refined the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blade, which is enough to survive this disaster."

Xu Qing: "Although I have glimpsed the realm of possession, my cultivation is far less profound than yours. The power of this Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blade is not as strong as you think."

The old Taoist priest laughed loudly: "Gongming, you don't think I asked you to use the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Knife to fight the old demon. That would be too dangerous. But since you have mastered this magical power, you must have the essence of turtle and snake in your body, which is enough to invite a top figure in the world to help us."

"Could it be the abbot of Chaotian Temple?" Xu Qing was confused for a moment.

The old Taoist sneered, "The old turtle is most afraid of the Black Mountain Old Demon in his life, so he dare not leave the capital. The person I'm talking about is the abbot Xiong Chan of the Great Zen Temple. He is only half a step away from being a Martial Saint. He is now refining the Xuantian Shenglong Pill, but he lacks the most important medicine, the turtle and snake essence, so he has not dared to open the furnace. If you refine the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blade and the old Taoist writes a letter to him, he will surely come to help. With you, me and Xiong Chan, we can fight even the original body of the old demon, not to mention his three corpses."

When Xu Qing heard about Xuantian Shenglong Pill, he couldn't help but be moved. He asked: "How many Xuantian Shenglong Pills can be made in one furnace?"

Old Heavenly Master: "At least one, at most three, there is no fixed number. Unless you have a saint's manuscript, then there is a good chance that you can produce three finished products, at least two are guaranteed."

Xu Qing thought that the old Taoist knew that he had searched the Confucius Mansion and guessed that he had the saint's manuscripts.

However, Xu Qingzi was also aware that the sage's manuscript could help in alchemy. If the time really came, he would naturally not be stingy if he could get a Xuantian Shenglong Pill.

With this pill, he could immediately break through to become a martial arts master.

Because this pill not only has the miraculous effect of improving qi and blood, but can also help people understand the great way of heaven and earth.

The correct way to use it is to use it to break through to become a Martial Saint, like Xiong Chan did.

But Xu Qing is in a hurry and will definitely not be able to wait until then.

Moreover, elixirs of this level are most effective when taken for the first time. If you take a second pill, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, when one's cultivation reaches a high level, it is already a great opportunity to come across a panacea that is beneficial to cultivation. If one is still picky, it would indeed be a bit unkind.

The old Taoist priest said, "If there are three, I will take one. If there are two, you and Xiong Chan can divide them among yourselves, how about that?"

Xu Qing nodded: "That's right."

Without the old Taoist priest, he would not have known that there was such a trick, so naturally he had nothing to say.

The Taoist scriptures say it well: Blessings follow misfortunes, and misfortunes follow blessings.

This trip to Longhu Mountain was definitely not in vain.

He felt somewhat relieved when he saw that the black energy of the little snake of luck was no longer rising. However, the density of the little snake's black energy had already shown that this matter was quite dangerous. Xu Qing didn't know whether he could make it in time, but on the way here, he had secretly notified Su Lianqing through the Demon God Visualization Map and asked the Dongming Gang to borrow a few purple thunder cannons to send to Longhu Mountain for use.

Hopefully in time.

As for the old Taoist priest, he used the Taoist magic of delivering books with a golden sword.

It only takes a few hours for the news to reach the Great Zen Temple.

Dachan Temple is not far from Longhu Mountain. The news spreads quickly, and Xiongchan will be able to arrive before sunset tomorrow.

After delivering the message, the old Taoist priest said to Xu Qing, "Gongming, is there anything you don't understand about this Three Yin Demon-Slaying Knife? Perhaps I can help you solve it?"

Xu Qing had already learned some old stories about Xuantian Shenglong Dao from the old Taoist priest, and understood the importance of the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Sword to Xuantian Shenglong Dao.

Seeing the old Taoist priest's smiling face, I knew that the old Taoist priest had been at odds with the master of Chaotian Temple for a day or two, and he must want to take this opportunity to spy on the secrets of Xuantian Shenglong Dao.

Xu Qing immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The old Taoist priest lost interest, and then asked, "Gongming, do you want to know the origin of the Black Mountain Old Demon?"

Xu Qing was interested in this and asked, "What is the origin of this old demon?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "The Black Mountain Old Monster's lineage can be traced back to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, which was the beginning of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The first generation of old monsters once asked the Taoist ancestor for advice, glimpsed the true words of morality, cultivated the Southern Ming Lihuo, and since then dominated the world. The second generation of old monsters was even more amazing. Taking advantage of the disputes at the end of the Han Dynasty, they entered the Shiqu Pavilion and read the collection of books. They also saw Yang Ziyun's Taixuan Sutra manuscript. They achieved great success in the mysterious skills and cultivated the Taixuan Divine Skill, becoming a figure like a true immortal on land. The third generation of old monsters even brought forth new ideas in the Taixuan Divine Skill, and realized the wonder of the Taoist Qi transforming into the Three Pure Ones. At this point, the Black Mountain Old Monster's lineage was finally complete. This third generation of old monsters has been transformed into corpses five times and has survived seven thunder tribulations. If it had not met Zhang Lazi, the founder of Xuantian Shenglong Dao, at the end of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that he would have survived nine thunder tribulations and cultivated a pure Yang Yuanshen."

Xu Qing couldn't help but ask: "Senior, how do you distinguish between the Yin Spirit and the Yuan Spirit?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Even if ordinary cultivators become ghost immortals, they are still Yin spirits. Only after a thunder tribulation, the Yin spirits can gain Yang energy. Only when the Yin and Yang combine, can they become Yuan spirits. However, there are some mysterious skills and secrets in the world that directly point to the Yuan spirit path. After breaking through the barrier of ghost immortals, they can become the so-called Yuan spirit. In fact, the barrier of ghost immortals is what we call breaking delusion."

"Break the delusion?"

"Yes, it is about seeing one's nature and enlightening one's mind. The Zen concept of the mind being like a clear mirror is actually an elaboration of my Taoist theory."

When Buddhism came to China, it indeed absorbed the essence of the knowledge of various schools of thought, especially Zen Buddhism, which naturally had similar origins with the theories of Taoism and Confucianism.

Hearing about the heart being like a mirror, Xu Qing's heart was moved, and he asked, "Senior, this heart being like a mirror, I wonder if there is any powerful mirror in the world that is related to this?"

Old Taoist Priest: "Of course, the first choice is the legendary Haotian Mirror, but this item belongs to the legend, and I have only heard a few words about it. The second is the Yin-Yang Mirror of Kunlun Mountain..."

He said something about the amazing mirror treasure.

Xu Qing thought to himself, could it be that the bronze mirror is the legendary Haotian Mirror?

He suppressed this thought, and then asked: "I wonder what the origin of that sloppy Zhang is. As the founder of Xuantian Shenglong Dao, he actually suppressed the Black Mountain Old Monster of the previous generation."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "It is rumored in this dynasty that Zhang Laita responded to the fate of the Xuanwu constellation and was the Zhenwu Emperor who came to earth. I don't know whether it is true or not. In fact, in my opinion, it is probably true. In addition to exorcising demons, Zhang Laita assisted Taizu and Chengzu of this dynasty in achieving great things throughout his life. The emperor is like the North Star, which corresponds to Ziwei. This Zhenwu Emperor is the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole under the command of Ziwei Emperor. He really responded to the astrological fate of my Taoism."

The Chengzu of this dynasty was originally Taizong. As a result, the old emperor was promoted from a minor clan to a major clan. In order to carry his father into the Taimiao, he changed Taizong's name to Chengzu. Thus, according to etiquette and law, his father was posthumously conferred the title of emperor and enjoyed the sacrifices in the Taimiao.

Hearing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but think, "I am the life of Ziwei Star."

He vaguely felt that his inheritance from Taoist Xuantian was closely related to his astrological destiny.

No matter how you look at it, the inheritance of Taoist Xuantian is closely related to Xuantian Shenglong Dao.

Xu Qing also asked in detail about the old Taoist priest, the Black Mountain Old Demon, and Zhang Laita, the founder of Xuantian Shenglong Dao.

The old Taoist priest told Xu Qing everything he knew, and Xu Qing gained a lot from it.

...

...

On the other side, in the Great Zen Temple, Xiong Chan received the golden sword message from the Heavenly Master and was shocked. He had actually secretly inquired and found that the master of Chaotian Temple did not have the tortoise and snake spirit. He did not expect that he was in the dark and the person with the tortoise and snake spirit was Xu Gongming.

This matter really solved his urgent problem.

If he could get Xu Gongming's help and refine the Xuantian Shenglong Pill, once he achieves the status of Martial Saint, he would undoubtedly be at the peak for the next sixty years, and could sit back and watch the changes in the world.

This way, the layout can be more relaxed.

Moreover, since Dachan Temple had produced a Martial Saint, it would naturally be more secure to preserve the Taoist tradition.

With his current strength, he is only half a step away from becoming a Martial Saint, but this half step is the difference between humans and monkeys.

No matter how smart a monkey is, it is still a monkey.

Xiong Chan wanted to go to Longhu Mountain to find Xu Qing immediately, but he quickly suppressed the impulse and immediately ordered his confidants to prepare yellow rice, spiritual ginseng and many other treasures that would be of great benefit to cultivation and send them to Longhu Mountain.

He rushed over first to help Xu Qing and the old Taoist priest fight against the enemy.

As one of the most holy places in Middle-earth, Dachan Temple naturally has a deep grudge with the Black Mountain Old Demon, and this time it is taking the opportunity to take revenge.

This generation of Black Mountain Old Demon once came to Middle-earth when the emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty was studying abroad, taking advantage of the time when the mountains and rivers were in shatters and the dynasty was in danger of extinction, and either openly or secretly seized the secrets of cultivation from the major holy places.

At that time on the grassland, the Grand Master was also a top master. He worked together with the Black Mountain Old Demon to turn the Middle-earth upside down.

The Taoist master of Xuantian Shenglongdao's generation also transformed into a corpse and left after fighting with the Black Mountain Old Demon.

After that fight, the Black Mountain Demon was sealed inside the volcano of Changbai Mountain, and recovered from his injuries with the help of the underground fire of Changbai Mountain.

However, the old monster cultivated the Three Corpses Spirit, and even if his real body did not appear in the world, he would still be one of the most powerful monsters in the world.

So far, no evil demon has dared to cause trouble in Changbai Mountain.

The title of the world's number one demon has been firmly held for more than a hundred years.

Even the two Martial Saints of the Dayu Dynasty had no intention of going to Changbai Mountain to wipe out the Demon Palace.

This shows how powerful this monster is.

But the old demon is an evil heretic. If he comes to the Middle-earth before the world is in chaos, his magical powers will definitely be suppressed. What's more, Longhu Mountain is a holy place for exorcising demons and defending the way of righteousness. If the old demon's three corpses of spirit dare to come, Xiong Chan will not be afraid.

It would even be a rare opportunity if one could gain experience and comprehend the truth through fighting with the old demon.

He galloped all the way and arrived at Longhu Mountain before sunset.

At this time, dark clouds were gathering in Longhu Mountain.

How could Xiong Chan not understand the sensation of Qi?

It was the master of the Seven Killing Demon Palace, the number one demon in the world.
Coming soon!
