Therefore, the inner alchemy technique was brought back from the brain by Xu Fu. Even the five cultivation methods of celestial beings and Taoists are the results of Xu Fu's exchanges with the mainland. The idea of overseas immortal mountains was also popular in the mainland at that time.
But everything is going to change...
Lian walked out of the shadows. Penglai was very large, and most of the time the immortals stayed in their own palaces. For example, Lan was in the Guiding Palace, and Chrysanthemum and Peach Blossom were in the Room Palace. The five palaces corresponded to five methods of cultivation. But the immortals couldn't be scattered all the time, and they needed to gather together for meetings and exchange experiences.
Of course, it was said that they were exchanging ideas. But Lian knew that the immortals rarely came up with new ideas, including herself. Compared with the Grandmaster, she was still too stupid. It was said that among the other immortals, only Guihua could occasionally give new insights.
But that's all.
Hundreds of years have passed, how much progress have we made? Now the abbot has such a strange thing. Could it be someone from the distant West?
Even though she was on an island, Lian knew that in recent years, white-skinned humans had come from the far west. As for that distant country, Lian had heard from Xu Fu that there was a monotheistic religion and wizards in a faraway place. The latter was suppressed, and their whereabouts were not mentioned for the time being. The former had already appeared on Japanese soil. The Shimabara Rebellion that occurred about two hundred years ago had the shadow of the monotheistic religion.
If someone really sneaks in.
Lian raised her eyebrows, not sure what was going on for a moment.
"Lian, what are you thinking about? Are you not satisfied with the training place I designed? Anyway, it hasn't started yet, so we can make some changes. But I think that training on the pool is perfect."
A design appeared in front of Lian. It was a pavilion on a lotus pond, with places for five kinds of cultivation. If accompanied by the music played by the Taoist priest, it would be a perfect place for cultivation...
Lian said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Taohua, go call Juhua and the others over, we need to discuss this."
"Okay, Lian!"
The girl with pink hair jumped away from the spot. Compared with other fairies, Taohua stayed in the female state more often.
It’s because of the chrysanthemum.
Lian hid her hands under her long sleeves, and her deep eyes were filled with all kinds of thoughts.
Soon... Peach Blossom completed Lotus's mission. Except for Hibiscus and Peony, the remaining Chrysanthemum, Osmanthus and Orchid were all brought over by Peach Blossom.
"Once everyone is here, we can discuss it."
"Brother, where are Peony and Hibiscus? Don't they need to come?" It was Lan who asked. Compared to the Taoist robes of others, his clothes were cooler, with only a vest. His exposed hands were also full of muscles.
Lan's major is Daoyin. The core is to use movement to train "Qi". Based on this, Lan's fighting power is very strong.
"They went to the abbot and then disappeared. Didn't you hear the Taoist's report? There was a big problem with the abbot." Lian said calmly.
"Hey~~~, Lian, we didn't know about this. Did this happen?" Taohua widened her eyes brightly.
Lian said, "Is it the same with you?"
After a quick glance, I saw the expression I wanted, but no one else showed any expression of knowing.
This is expected. The Taoists have not noticed a large number of people landing on the island recently. The last warrior sent them out on a boat after planting flowers. I think they should have arrived in Japan by now?
“The place where the abbot’s village was originally located is out of our control. A huge thick fog rose there before. It seemed to be a thick fog formed by the condensation of air, but its essence was different from air.
Earlier, a Taoist priest went to check under my order, but he disappeared in the thick fog. The last place where the auras of Peony and Hibiscus appeared was also in that area. According to the auras, the lives of the two people are not in danger. "
He was so calm because he sensed that the two men were not in danger of death. If they were really in danger of death, he would not be holding a meeting here, but would be killing them personally.
"Does that mean that Mudan and Zhujin have already fallen? Oh, no wonder I saw him walking towards the gate this morning. Oh, brother, did something happen to the abbot?"
Lian: "I don't know. I can't observe clearly."
"Do you need someone to explore?" Lan said, "Brother, I can go if you need me."
"You can't do it alone. Peony and Hibiscus are both alone. If you go alone, you will be missing like Peony and Hibiscus. Chrysanthemum and Peach Blossom, go with me. If you get caught up in this, I will bring the others with me."
Juhua raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?"
The golden-haired Chrysanthemum looked ferocious, even in front of Lian. Lian was used to it, and said indifferently: "The other party is fearless. If you observe carefully now, you can still feel the aura of Peony and Hibiscus. Chrysanthemum, Peach Blossom, this is risky. If you don't want to, we can go together."
"No need, just leave this to Taohua and me."
"Okay, Chrysanthemum, let's go together." Taohua said excitedly.
Lian said, "Chrysanthemum, wait a moment."
"Lian, is there anything else?"
"be careful."
Hearing this, the expression on Juhua's face softened a little, but it was only a little bit softer, and he still looked very ferocious.
Hope everything is ok...
Lian closed her eyes, and after recuperating for a while, she opened them again and said, "Osmanthus, be mentally prepared and come with me later. Lan!"
"Brother, do you want to follow Chrysanthemum and the others?"
"Correct."
Lian had a sudden inspiration. The abbot's affairs were too strange. She had to go there in person.
Chapter 658 Storm Barrier
The Fangzhang area was originally where the tree people lived. In Taohua's memory, this place was quite prosperous a long, long time ago, and many tree people lived here, but at some point, the number of tree people gradually decreased, and in the end it seemed that there were only a few left.
Taohua didn't remember that she would feel bad because of worrying about the tree man's feelings a long time ago. Now, she has forgotten it!
"Taohua, slow down." Chrysanthemum, who was walking behind, was not in a hurry, but Taohua, who was walking in front, was jumping up and down and cheering, like children going out for a picnic.
The two form a sharp contrast. The only pity is that one of them has pink hair and the other has golden hair, instead of the typical red and blue.
"Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum. Look, we are almost at our destination, but there is no thick fog here. Why is this so?"
Walking out of the gate of Penglai and entering the abbot's area, looking up, the sun is shining, the flowers and trees are so bright, everything is no different from usual?
Chrysanthemum: "We haven't reached the village yet, so nothing is certain. Also, Taohua, can you slow down?"
Compared to the cold and harsh tone he used when facing Lian, his tone became much softer when facing Taohua.
Taohua: "Hehe."
The innocent smile on Taohua's face made Juhua feel helpless. Even though her smile had changed drastically from before, the relationship between the two would never change.
Chrysanthemums and peach blossoms always support each other.
Chrysanthemum and Peach Blossom did not take Lian's worries too seriously. The other party might be able to defeat one celestial being, and not be at a disadvantage against two celestial beings. But Chrysanthemum did not think that he could defeat the two of them, because their cooperation was special.
Except for Lian, any two of the other celestial beings joining forces are no match for Taohua and herself. When others cooperate, it is addition, but when two people cooperate, it is multiplication.
"Wow, Juhua, look, there is such a big building over there. Could it be built for us by the tree people in the past?" Taohua stood there and suddenly pointed into the distance and said.
Chrysanthemum stood there, looking in the direction that Peach Blossom pointed, but there was nothing there. So she told the truth.
But this caused Taohua to react violently. She jumped on the spot, pointed in that direction, and then gestured: "But Juhua, there really is a big building over there, a kind of building that is very wide at the bottom and forms a corner at the top. Don't you see it?"
Chrysanthemum looked in that direction and indeed saw everything. Then she looked around and saw nothing but wilderness nearby. Apart from the remains of the tree men kneeling in front of the gate, there was nothing else.
How could there be a building here? Even if there was, why could the peach blossoms be seen but I couldn't?
Is it possible...
Looking at the distance between myself and peach blossom.
Chrysanthemum tried to take a step forward and walked to Taohua's side.
Just one step away, but it seems like a world of difference.
The huge building was pointed at the top and flat at the bottom. The light from the sky fell on the surface of the building, reflecting a golden glow.
That is taller than myself after my corpse transformation.
Chrysanthemum was not as surprised as Peach Blossom. She simply took a step back. The building was still there. She took another step back. The pyramid was still there. Then, she took several steps back and came to the place where she had been before.
The pyramids still stand there.
"What's wrong? Chrysanthemum. Can't you see now?"
"Peach blossoms, but we didn't see them before. Don't you feel strange about this? Why is it so?"
"Yeah, why is it so?" Taohua looked at Juhua with shining eyes, as if to say, "Hurry up, Juhua, figure it out."
Chrysanthemum said: "I think we are under a magic spell."
Illusion.
Peach Blossom can also perform magic, which is a kind of application of Qi.
"So, Daisy. Was that building an illusion?"
"do not know."
At this point, I can only take one step at a time. Can I just go back? Will Lan laugh at me?
Juhua's mind turned over. When it came to Taohua, he seemed much more cautious. Lian's initial warning appeared in his mind. He frowned and said, "Taohua, let's go back to find Lian."
"Oh! Why? Won't Lan laugh at us?" Taohua muttered, "Aren't we fine now?"
"Because it's not safe. Let's go, Taohua." Chrysanthemum's tone was very gentle, as if she was a parent persuading her children.
Taohua pouted and nodded helplessly. The two returned, but soon, they knew they were in trouble after just a few steps back.
The barrier where the storm gathered went straight up into the sky. It was a barrier made of infinite gas. It was like the clouds in the sky were trapped in some kind of transparent container, and one could see the gas flowing inside. The flow speed was so fast that it was impossible to measure. If the power that bound the storm disappeared, how powerful would the power released by the storm hidden inside be?
The two looked at each other, then soared into the air, using magic to fly into the sky. However, even though the high altitude was blocked, the storm wall still existed, and even with the continuous increase in height, the entire storm barrier continued to bend, and finally at a certain height, at an angle of nearly 60 degrees, it closed in the middle.
At this point, Chrysanthemum knew that she could not leave by crossing this wall. The entire Storm Barrier was like an arch, closing the entire area.
When it landed on the ground, Chrysanthemum knew it was in trouble without Peach Blossom.
With her hands touching the barrier, Juhua began to sense what the barrier was. But just like her superficial perception before, she had no idea what the structure was.
That is not made of "qi". What is contained within is unlike anything in all known knowledge.
Something beyond cognition.
Lian's tone of admonition came to mind. Did Lian discover this thing before? No, Lian would not do that. Wasn't the Storm Wall up at that time? So, the so-called thick fog was not a lie, but a real thing, right?
Thick fog, barriers...
What is coming to the island?
"Taohua, I will try to destroy this storm barrier."
"I'll come too."
Then, the two celestial beings began to perform various magic arts, which were called magic arts, but in fact, they were more like magic arts. Various energy attacks landed on the storm barrier, but could not cause any ripples on it.
After a few minutes, Chrysanthemum and Peach Blossom stopped their actions, because no matter what magic they performed, there was no obvious effect.
