Chapter 648: Creation in front of Dongxuan Mountain
Chapter 648: Creation in front of Dongxuan Mountain (two in one)
Li Yuan stayed in Gaoliu County for three days.
On the first day, I chatted with Old Zhang and answered some of his questions about weapon forging.
Master Li Daoye has never been a person who cherishes his own things. He was even prepared to leave his evil treasure-making technique behind, but was rejected by Zhang Ben, who thought it was not a good thing to keep this thing in Gaoliu County.
Li Yuan did not force it, but before nightfall, he still used his own Kunpeng Qi to help Old Zhang to heal some subtle hidden injuries left by years of hard work.
Three days later, Li Yuan was ready to leave. He wanted to bring Old Zhang to Hengshan City to live out his retirement, but the old man had lived in Gaoliu County all his life, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to Zhang Ben.
He only left behind three longevity pills to be obtained from Qinglong Pavilion.
"Wow~"
The goshawk that had been hovering outside the county for three days flapped its wings and caught Li Yuan who was flying in the air. With a flap of its wings, it flew straight into the sky.
Gaoliu County gradually disappeared from the earth.
"call!"
After a moment, Li Yuan withdrew his gaze. He sat cross-legged, not suppressing his emotions, but sensing the faint melancholy in his heart.
He knew very well that considering Old Zhang's age and talent for martial arts, even with three longevity pills, he would only live for another forty or fifty years at most.
This farewell may be a real farewell...
Li Yuan sat quietly for a long time, letting his emotions churn. He didn't know how long it had been before he slowly opened his eyes. The sense of loss in his heart was still there, but it was no longer lingering in his mind.
"No wonder the predecessors in the Daozang of the previous life often lived in seclusion. They were happy when they were together, but sad when they were apart..."
"Leaving the world, entering the world..."
……
After exhaling a breath of foul air, Li Yuan lightly patted the eagle's back. With a burst of true energy, the goshawk immediately let out a long, high-pitched cry, flapped its wings vigorously, and disappeared into the sea of clouds in the blink of an eye.
Gaoliu County is not close to Hengshan City. Even if ordinary people have carriages and horses, it often takes a year or two to travel back and forth between the two places. However, a goshawk can flap its wings and fly across the city in a few days. Li Yuan even went to the Divine Weapon Valley.
Ever since Li Yuan entered the Dragon and Tiger Temple, the Divine Weapon Valley has grown day by day. Now it has become a behemoth dominating three prefectures, and it is poised to dominate the entire state.
Even though Han Chuijun, Gong Yangyu, Jing Shuhu, Lei Jingchuan and other senior officials lived in Hengshan City all year round, no one dared to act rashly.
Li Yuan only stayed in Shenbing Valley for half a day.
In fact, there are almost no acquaintances in the valley. Because of him, the Divine Weapon Valley and the Dragon and Tiger Temple are deeply bound together. Every three years, there will be several places for people to join the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Most of the brothers and sisters he knew in the past are in Hengshan City.
Li Yuan revisited his old place without feeling any emotion. He just caught a few red dragon fish from the cold pond and flew away on an eagle.
Two days later, Li Yuan returned to Hengshan City.
Because he took a detour to Dinglong Mountains and Gaoliu County, Long Yingchan and others returned earlier than him. When they heard the cry of the goshawk from afar, they had already come out to greet it.
After returning, Li Yuan was not allowed to refuse and was invited to another grand banquet.
Li Yuan couldn't refuse, because not only Wang Peiyao, Liu Zheng and others, but also a group of old friends from Shenbing Valley wanted to perform for him, and Gong Yangyu, Lei Jingchuan and other older generations also came to join in the fun.
Then, Ba Wanli, Fang Yunxiu and Qiu Changying, who had been traveling around the world for many years, also rushed back specially.
And there was Sun Hao. His former big creditor was becoming more and more plump and wealthy. Although he had grown stronger under his urging, he was not diligent enough in practicing martial arts. It would take at least another ten years for him to change his form.
Compared to the grand banquet in the capital city of gods, the atmosphere at this banquet was more peaceful. No one urged people to drink, but instead asked Li Yuan more about the outer world of heaven, the Eight Directions Temple, the previous natural disasters, and the subsequent divine light.
Li Yuan had nothing to hide about this, and immediately told them everything from the battle with the court outside the Divine Capital, the appearance of the Blood Phoenix, to his sacrifice to enter the Daluo Heaven, how he condensed the true form of Kunpeng, and so on.
During the dinner, he also talked about various information about the outer space that he had obtained from the general knowledge ball, including but not limited to the five great caves, the three elements of refining magic power, the true form map and so on.
However, due to the limitations of the Bafang Temple, the complete map of Kunpeng's true form could not be passed down.
But after the banquet, he still found Pang Wenlong and asked him that if his old friends were willing to practice, he should send them into the Taoist Soldier Tower. Regardless of whether they would gain anything, at least after being cleansed by the aura of the Eight Directions Temple, their lifespan would be greatly increased after they entered the Taoist path.
With the 'guiding secret book' he tailored for everyone, at least Fang Yunxiu, Ba Wanli and others have a glimmer of hope to enter the Tao. As for Sun Hao... it's better not to mention him.
Pang Wenlong naturally would not refuse this.
He wished that Li Yuan would leave as many ties as possible, so he immediately agreed and even promised to personally teach everyone how to practice martial arts. Li Yuan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
……
For the next half month, Li Yuan refused all visitors.
He really couldn't receive them all. Not to mention the fellow disciples from the Dragon and Tiger Temple, several other major Taoist sects, the Xinyi Sect, and even many provincial sects that he didn't even know came to congratulate him and give him gifts.
He met a few of them at first, but later he got tired of it and simply left them all to Sun Hao, Liu Zheng and others to receive.
As everyone knows, Master Li Dao never refuses gifts.
During the past half month, he collected a large number of weapons.
Not only the Dragon and Tiger Temple, he also accepted all kinds of weapons made in the Divine Weapon Valley in the past three years. The gray stone platform that had been expanded many times was now filled up with his weapons.
But this was just a side job. In the last half month before their departure, he spent most of his time teaching the two little guys from his second brother's family martial arts.
The two little ones, who are already in their teens, were born with average physique, but they had the "Hundred Beasts Pill" to make up for their deficient physique. In addition, with his guidance, their progress was quite fast.
Of course, it is far inferior to what he had back then.
Perhaps because they had heard too much of Li Lin's bragging, the two little guys had great respect for their uncle. The first martial art they learned was the White Ape Cloak Hammer, and the second was the Military Fighting Hammer. They followed Li Yuanxu in practicing martial arts every day.
Li Yuan was also happy to see this happen. It was never a bad thing for his nephews and nieces to admire him.
……
In a flash, half a month passed.
That day, Li Yuan was writing something at the desk in the house. He heard his second brother calling him to eat, so he responded casually and quickened his writing speed. At noon, he blew on the ink and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's pretty much it."
Li Yuan flipped through the booklet.
This was a secret manual that he had spent half a month to develop, based on the talents and personalities of the two little ones.
He had written something similar before, but most of the time he stopped at the stage of changing form. But now, Kunpeng’s true form has been achieved, and with this high-level insight, he has pushed this secret book to the realm of unity.
"As long as they can practice step by step, maybe these two little guys will be able to enter the Dao, or even achieve unity."
After putting away the secret book, Li Yuan got up and went out.
In the yard, the second sister-in-law had prepared a large table of food and wine. People who practice martial arts have big appetites, and the two little ones are in the growing period, so the Li family has a large table every day.
During the meal, Li Yuan gave the secret book to his second sister-in-law and told his second brother to learn it as well. The latter nodded with a bitter face.
Li Lin is much more focused on practicing martial arts than Sun Hao, but he started practicing martial arts when he was over 30 years old. Even with the nourishment of elixirs, his comprehension is not as good as those who have practiced martial arts since childhood. Even with Li Yuan's guidance, he has only achieved inner strength, just like Cao Yan, the former owner of the weapon forging shop.
Li Lin was a little slow, but his second sister-in-law Wang Juan was very sharp-minded. When she took the secret book, her eyes were red:
"Old Three, are you leaving?"
"I can't hide it from my sister-in-law."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but still nodded with a smile: "My second brother is incapable of managing things. From now on, my second sister-in-law will have to worry more about the business of our family and the weapon forging shop."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law will take good care of your inheritance and will never let anyone cheat you away. But once you leave this time, once you leave..."
Wang Juan only felt a sour feeling in her nose.
When she got married, Li Yuan was not even as old as the two little ones are today. She really treated him as her own brother. Now that she knew he was leaving, she felt so sad that she no longer had the same boldness as before and was about to cry while talking.
"sister in law……"
Li Yuan was also a little surprised. His second sister-in-law had a strong personality and he had never seen her shed tears even during the most difficult times in the past years.
"Hey, why are you crying? Why are you suffering? The third brother is just going out, it's not like he won't come back!"
Li Lin had never seen such a scene before, and after coaxing her for a few words he felt flustered.
"Do you think the outside world is a good place? I've asked around. The ghost thing that caused the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth is outside. Even if the third brother is very powerful, what will happen if he encounters such a thing?"
Wang Juan couldn't help pinching her husband as she spoke: "You are so silly and happy all day long, and you don't even know how to ask questions."
"Ouch, stop, let go..."
The couple immediately started to quarrel. The two children were used to it, but they were reluctant to leave: "Uncle San, where are you going? When will you be back?"
"Can you take us with you?"
"You are not allowed to bring anyone to the place where Uncle San is going."
Looking at the noisy family, Li Yuan felt his restless mood suddenly calm down. He comforted the two little ones and his second sister-in-law. Seeing his calm look, they gradually calmed down.
"When are you leaving?"
Li Lin helped his wife into the room, and soon came out carrying a large bag: "This is what your sister-in-law prepared, take it, maybe it will be useful to you."
"Sister-in-law is still careful."
Li Yuan took it with a smile.
He had a keen sense and could tell at a glance that half of the bundle was gold and silver, and the other half was clothes, including Taoist robes, inner linings and the like.
"You two little bastards, why don't you go back to the house to see your mother?"
Li Lin yelled again and drove the two little guys into the house.
"Don't worry, brother. The road is safe."
Seeing Li Yuan fall silent, Li Yuan smiled and said something to comfort him.
"You're still lying to me? Since you came back, there's been a big scene in the city. Fatty Sun alone has received hundreds of people. He sent tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver to the mountain, as well as various spiritual herbs..."
Li Lin glared at him. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he just patted his shoulder:
"Brother regrets sending you to the weapon forging shop as an apprentice..."
"Second brother..."
"I'll go back to the house to comfort your sister-in-law, so I won't see you off."
Li Lin turned around and went back to the yard.
"Second brother, you have to take care of yourself."
Outside the yard, Li Yuan stood there in a daze for a moment before turning around. A little creature that had been waiting for a long time suddenly jumped onto his shoulder. It turned out to be a sleek little mouse.
"Has he caused trouble to the temple's medicinal fields again during this period?"
Li Yuan touched the little creature's fur. Perhaps it had eaten too many spiritual herbs, so it had a faint herbal fragrance and its fur was extremely smooth, without a speck of dust.
"Squeak~"
The little mouse shouted, as if in rebuttal.
"Are you ready?"
Li Yuan nodded its little head and said, "This trip may not be safe."
"Squeak!"
The little mouse stood up and pointed his little paw at the distant forest. Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw thousands of field mice gathered in the forest. They were the 'commanders' that the little mouse had recruited over the years.
The little mouse waved its little paw proudly, which was greeted by a lot of squeaking sounds.
"Do you want to take them all?"
Li Yuan laughed and scolded, this little rat ate too many elixirs and somehow cultivated true energy, and now he has become human.
"Squeak~" the little mouse squeaked, meaning that he should bring at least one with him, in case there was no one to test the pill on.
Li Yuan laughed in silence and ignored it.
He walked towards Long Xixiang's small temple, where Pang Wenlong and the three giants of Longhu Temple were all.
"Tiancan and Yuanqing also wanted to come and see you off, but I sent them away."
Pang Wenlong stood up:
"Now that you are ready, let's go."
"Ah."
Li Yuan was not a man who would drag his feet. He bowed deeply to the elders and then turned around.
hum~
Li Yuan raised his hand and lightly touched his forehead. He heard a long cry of a roc, and a roc with golden wings emerged from his forehead like a living creature.
"squeak?!"
The little mouse was startled.
"Master, Uncle Master, Senior Pang..."
The golden-winged Roc moved around his body, casting a faint golden halo. Li Yuan bowed again in it.
"call!"
The next moment, a dazzling golden light shot straight into the sky, and even Pang Wenlong and the others felt their eyes were blurred.
"Wow!"
The golden-winged Roc let out a long cry, high-pitched and piercing, which could be heard hundreds of miles away. Golden light flowed like a waterfall, which could be clearly seen even in the daytime.
"What a big goshawk!"
"How can that be a goshawk? It's clearly the legendary golden-winged roc?!"
"There is someone on the eagle's back. It seems to be Junior Brother Li. He is the one who likes Taoist robes the most in Longhu Temple!"
"It's Senior Brother Li!"
……
In the small courtyard, Li Lin held the tearful Wang Juan in his arms and looked up blankly.
I saw a huge bird with a wingspan of more than a hundred feet standing in the sky. The bird was golden all over, and its feathers were as sharp as swords. Even from an unknown distance away, I could feel the biting cold.
"Wow!"
The golden-winged Roc circled Mount Longhu three times. Finally, after reaping a large amount of incense offerings, Li Yuan contentedly activated the true form of Kunpeng.
The next moment, accompanied by a long cry that resounded through the sky, the Peng bird flew into the sky and disappeared from everyone's gaze.
On the top of Longhu Mountain, Li Yuan rides Peng into the sky!
……
……
"Da Luotian!"
While riding the Peng horse to fly up into the sky, Li Yuan was thinking of the three words "Daluotian".
boom!
In an instant, Li Yuan only felt the light and shadows all around him changing, a strange and dazzling scene. For a moment, he could not tell up from down, high from low, left from right, north from south.
"This is……"
Li Yuan tried his best to sense his surroundings. He could clearly feel countless lights and shadows flickering, but he could not see anything. Everything around him was in chaos and confusion.
He could only hold the unconscious little mouse with one hand, force Kunpeng to take his true form, and run instinctively towards the 'beacon' that was spreading from nowhere and guiding him forward.
hum~
hum~~
Chaos, confusion, bizarreness...
Li Yuan had already given up on sensing his surroundings, but the chaotic and upside-down aura was still distorting his five senses, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Li Yuan felt his consciousness was a little fuzzy, and he was almost fainting, when he suddenly heard the ethereal and long sound of wind chimes.
"when!"
Li Yuan was startled and woke up from his daze.
He looked up suddenly, and saw darkness all around him, as vast and boundless as the starry sky, with only tiny spots of light.
"This is the universe?!"
Li Yuan was shocked, but immediately gave up the idea.
Because the starlight blooming in that gloom was of different colors and brightness, and it gave him an extremely terrifying, yet somewhat familiar aura.
"The breath of a strange place!"
Li Yuan's mind worked so fast that he recognized what these "starlights" were when his heart was beating.
This aura is somewhat similar to the strange aura summoned by the old ghost Yunmo, but it is much more terrifying!
"roar~"
Faintly, Li Yuan heard the roar of a giant beast in the "starlight". He looked far away and could even see that there seemed to be something trying to come out of the starlight.
"What the hell!"
Li Yuan only felt his hair stand on end and could only vaguely sense a slight breath, but he actually felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if an invisible giant hand had grasped his heart through the air.
"when!"
At this time, the ethereal bell sounded again.
In an instant, the starlight around suddenly calmed down, and then, under Li Yuan's gaze, the starlight slowly flowed back and disappeared into the darkness.
"This place is too dangerous!"
Li Yuan took a deep breath and tightly grasped the true form of Kunpeng under him. After the endless starlight disappeared, the only source of light was under him.
At this moment, he was riding on a "bridge of light" that was difficult for him to describe, crossing this creepy dark abyss at a speed that he could not understand.
"Buzz!"
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Li Yuan, who was in a state of extreme tension, finally saw the "light" in the deep darkness.
That's a 'mountain'!
A mountain bigger than he could have imagined!
The mountain is so huge that you can't see its foot or top. It stands in the endless darkness, sacred and majestic.
Rather than a mountain, it is more like a huge city wall, or a dam that blocks the left and right sides and up and down!
"What a huge mountain!"
Li Yuan was dumbfounded.
The giant mountain emitted a light that was more dazzling than the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. It was not only divine light, but also the extremely pure power of incense.
Woohoo~
Li Yuan could see light mist rising from the giant mountain, and every time the light mist rose, various scenes evolved in the void.
It could be palaces, mountains, blue sky, vast oceans, cities, or even a rotating star field...
"A strange place? A blessed place? A cave?!"
Li Yuan had no way of telling what was going on at the moment, but he came to a vague conclusion.
This mountain was probably even larger than he had imagined. It seemed as if countless different dimensions were slowly revolving around the mountain, like the asteroids being pulled by the giant stars in the universe.
"Dongxuan Mountain!"
Soon after seeing the giant mountain, an idea arose in Li Yuan's mind that this sacred mountain named "Dongxuan" was the destination of his trip.
"Daluotian, Dongxuan Mountain!"
The golden bridge stops here, and the Peng bird does not move forward. Li Yuan stands up and looks at the mountain from afar. He feels an endless stream of light. With an idea in his mind, he controls the 'five senses' and looks at it again. His pupils shrink suddenly.
Where is the mountain?
It's clearly the sea!
A boundless ocean of interwoven divine patterns. He stretched his perception to the limit but was unable to catch a glimpse of even a corner of it. He only felt that it contained endless mysteries. If he could comprehend even a little bit of it, it might be a magical power passed down from generation to generation.
"Squeak~"
The little mouse, who had been unconscious all the way, slowly woke up. He looked up and saw that his master's eyes were shining and his mind was wandering somewhere unknown.
"good fortune!"
Master Li Dao had already been immersed in it.
He used all his senses, but seemed unaware of the stinging pain and tears in his eyes.
After trying to peek at the edge of the sea in vain, his sight fell on a corner.
All I saw were divine patterns flowing in it, extremely complex and mysterious, sometimes turning into a thunder dragon soaring into the sky, sometimes turning into a fire phoenix flapping its wings and burning the sky with flames, sometimes turning into a vast ocean, with giant beasts hiding in it, stirring up numerous undercurrents.
Or there is a great roc flapping its wings and looking down upon the sky, or there is a tree rising to the sky, with millions of branches and leaves supporting a sea of stars...
'This sea of divine patterns, every corner contains countless divine pattern combinations. Pah, divine prohibitions, any wonder that evolves is a true picture...'
Li Yuan suddenly realized that perhaps this was the benefit of being a disciple of Daluotian?
Thoughts were turning over in his mind, and his five senses were maximized. When he saw something good, he was not even afraid of mental fatigue. His five senses swept through the various wonders, wandering and selecting.
But the law of this divine pattern is truly boundless, and the wonders evolved from the divine prohibitions are as numerous as stars. Even if one only has a tiny bit of power, it is difficult to catch a glimpse of even a tiny bit.
After a brief attempt, Master Li Dao decided to quit while he was ahead and decisively chose the most magnificent and complex spectacle he had seen so far.
Concentrate your mind and sense the mystery.
……
……
"coming!"
"The young master De Tianying who is leading the divine fire is here!"
In Dongxuan Mountain, Lingshu Boy, who was dressed in Taoist robes, was shocked. He stood on tiptoe, made a canopy with his hands, and looked out of the mountain.
I saw a golden light coming very quickly from the darkness like a bridge, and it was built in front of the mountain. On the golden bridge, a golden-winged roc was flapping its wings and flying, and a young man in a Taoist robe was standing above it, concentrating.
"Tsk, another smart guy who knows the mystery of Dongxuan Mountain. But I wonder what method he will choose?"
Lingshu was a little envious, and also a little curious about how long he could last.
Dongxuan Mountain is one of the Twelve Mountains of Daluo, the dojo of our young master Tianyu. It contains the fruits of our young master's lifelong practice. Anyone who knows even a little of it will benefit from it for a lifetime.
But even divine creatures have the ability to conceal themselves, let alone Dongxuan Mountain?
Although Dongxuan Mountain is majestically located in the Nine-Layered Mysterious Realm, those without destiny cannot see it. Even if new disciples can see it, not everyone can instantly understand its benefits and truly obtain them.
A boy like him knew that Dongxuan Mountain had endless mysterious benefits, but he could not obtain them while he was in the mountain.
"One breath, ten breaths..."
Lingshu counted with his fingers, and it was not until a cup of tea later that Li Yuan woke up from his meditation and walked towards the end of the golden bridge. His eyesight was very good and he could vaguely see someone at the end of the bridge. Should it be the boy who led him into the sect?
"As expected of the Weitian Dao Sect, I have gained such a great benefit before even entering the sect!"
Li Yuan walked slowly on the golden bridge, constantly recalling what he had just seen. The shock in his heart was beyond words. He had only taken a glimpse, and only a corner of the Dongxuan Mountain.
"My goodness, this kid who has just entered the Dao actually managed to hold out for a whole cup of tea?!"
At the end of the golden bridge, Lingshu was quite surprised to see the new disciple walking slowly towards him. This kid's spirit was so great that it might have exceeded the realm of unity.
He was originally an alien beast from outer space, and was personally enlightened by the young master. He was born with golden eyes and fiery pupils, and could see through everything. One could tell at a glance that this kid had not been in the Tao for long.
"This kind of aura is probably enough to build a [divine furnace]. "
Muttering to himself, Lingshu shook his Taoist robe and bowed:
"I am a boy under the command of Taoist Master Tianyu from Dongxuan Mountain. I am here to welcome a new disciple under the order of Taoist Master!"
