Inquiry about immortality

Qin Sang and Li Yufu returned to the main hall. Si Lu and Ji Hong looked up at them, and Shen Chen stood up and saluted.

Just now, Shen Chen followed Qin Sang's instructions and picked out some things that could be revealed to Si Lu and the others, but some things are difficult to hide, and they will be able to see through them sooner or later.

"Having come here, our previous agreement has been fulfilled. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Silu is going to do next?" Qin Sang sat down opposite the two of them.

Qin Sang could guess Si Lu's intention, but he would not reject her. This was the territory of the Zhu Yan tribe, and even if Si Lu's identity was exposed, Si You would not be able to attack in a big way.

The aliens live together in the foggy sea, and competition is inevitable among them. The various tribes are also wary of each other.

He still couldn't figure out the Zhuyan tribe's thoughts, so keeping Si Lu might be of great use.

"If we leave like this, Brother Qin won't be relieved, right?"

Si Lu smiled slyly and looked outside the hall with a distant gaze.

It is said that there are countless small worlds in the big world, and small worlds are destroyed and born every moment. The door may be right in front of you, on your bed, on your desk, or between trees and flowers. You live with it day and night but you are unaware of it. Until this small world disappears and all the living things inside it are destroyed, there will not be a ripple.

They have not seen the whole truth yet, and they did not expect that the Storm Realm was completely integrated into the Great Thousand World. It was only when a person who broke through the realm and ascended to the Great Thousand World appeared in the Storm Realm that he gave back to the other realm and led others to enter the Great Thousand World to practice in the wider world. This situation is not uncommon in the Great Thousand World.

Or, these people may have come from a destroyed small world, and before the end of the world, they found the door of the sign and luckily escaped.

In any case, it is impossible for the human race to appear in the sea of ​​fog out of nowhere, and these people definitely have nothing to do with the Siyou clan.

'sough……'

The disciples of Qingyang Temple all stayed quietly in the quiet room. The wind blew through a clump of purple bamboo in front of the temple. Occasionally, there were a few bird calls, but no other noise, which made the Taoist temple seem even more profound and lofty.

"It's rare to come to a quiet place. I would like to continue to disturb you for a while. Is that possible?"

"That's exactly what I want," Qin Sang glanced at Li Yufu.

Li Yufu understood and bowed, saying, "Not far away, there is a branch of our temple, located deep in the mountains. It is rich in spiritual energy and is used to entertain distinguished guests. There are only a few disciples guarding it, and it is very quiet."

Qin Sang nodded and said, "After a while, when we find a suitable opportunity, I will trouble you to go and bring Su Nu and the others back."

Frequent entry and exit in a short period of time can easily arouse suspicion.

Si Lu had no objection and agreed immediately.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Jihong?" Qin Sang looked at Jihong again.

"I still have to help Fellow Daoist Silu get revenge!"

Ji Hong raised his little head high and suddenly asked eagerly, "You must have some new and exotic species here. Maybe they have the potential to cultivate excellent spiritual species. Can I go around and see them?"

Qin Sang agreed without hesitation, "As long as you follow the agreement between the Jiaojiao clan and other tribes and share the spiritual seeds you cultivate with us, you can come and go as you please. However, Qin will not announce these things to the public for the time being. Others have never seen your fellow tribesmen, so it is best for you to disguise yourself as a human cultivator."

It was not that he was worried about Jihong's safety. Almost no one in the Storm Realm could be Jihong's opponent. Qin Sang was afraid that Jihong would cause turmoil and affect his plans.

Ji Hong's little face showed joy and he nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Brother Qin, I am very careful in what I do!"

As he spoke, Li Yufu had already mobilized the Luye formation and soon arrived above Bieguan.

After settling Si Lu and the other two, Li Yufu left Lu Ye here and went out with Qin Sang.

Qin Sang decided to go to Xiaohan Territory first, where the ancestral temple of Qingyang Temple was located and where he started. After moving to the Crescent Moon Territory, Qin Sang raised a spiritual wind and swept the two of them northward.

Now that the storm between Xiaohan Territory and the three realms of the North Sea has dissipated, they are no longer isolated overseas. In fact, the two places could barely be regarded as one. Before Master Tianyue raised his sword in the North Sea, there had always been exchanges between the top masters.

Qin Sang flew slowly in the sky, deliberately choosing a route close to the open sea. It could be seen that the defense line built by the monks of the Storm Realm extended all the way to the Xiaohan Territory, and the entire four regions of the North Sea were facing the threat of the Changyou Clan.

"The Storm Realm is like a wedge embedded in the Changyou Clan's territory. Except for the filthy land in the east, it is surrounded by the Changyou Clan's territory. Fortunately, the Changyou Clan's power is concentrated in the more fertile south, and the north is relatively weak. Therefore, the first places that were violently attacked were Zhongzhou, Canglang Sea, and Monster Sea. Otherwise, the four territories of the North Sea might have been occupied by force."

Li Yufu showed a look of emotion, pointing to the outer sea, "The Changyou tribe has continuously sent troops to the North Sea, trying to replicate the results of the previous battle. However, with the teleportation formation, Zhongzhou can reinforce the North Sea at any time, and they have never succeeded!"

Today, the Storm Realm’s territory consists of only two large areas: the North Sea and Zhongzhou.

After the storm retreated, the Storm Realm monks found several more suspected refuges, similar to the one Qin Sang passed by when he set out from the North Sea. The area was small and could not be compared with the major domains. Some became dead places, and some were only populated by mortals and low-level monks, like fragments scattered outside.

These places have now been abandoned, and only Zhongzhou and Beihai are defended. The monks in the two places travel back and forth through the teleportation array. Because there are masters of the Changyou clan wandering between the two places, the Divine Transformation monks may also be attacked when flying in the air.

The defense line is in good order. Unless the patriarch of the Changyou tribe breaks through the second level of the void realm, it is impossible to defeat the monks of the Storm Realm in a short period of time. Qin Sang does not need to rush to show up. There is enough time to make arrangements calmly.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the edge of Beichen Territory.

The Beichen Desert of the past has disappeared, replaced by lush green jungles and grasslands. The air is filled with a moist, fresh scent, and countless creatures live there, enjoying the gifts of this fertile land.

The vitality of heaven and earth has revived, and the weather and topography in many places have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Li Yufu talked to Qin Sang about some old friends.

"Senior Lu unfortunately passed away, and before his death, he gave all his wealth to Daoist Fellow Han Xi. After Daoist Fellow Han Xi entered the stage of spiritual transformation, he moved the Daoist temple to the demon realm.

"However, the current master of the demon realm is Yu Wang. The previous master of the demon realm died in a heavenly calamity. It is said that Yu Wang dug up a magical medicine when he ascended to the sky in Ziwei Palace, which helped him successfully overcome the calamity. After Yu Wang became a god, he entered the demon realm and unified the North Sea demon tribe.

"Many demon tribes in Xiaohan Territory followed King Yu and moved their entire clans to the demon realm. Those places became ownerless, so Senior Yu Nu connected Qianshan Bamboo Sea and Qingyang Temple together."

Unexpectedly, Lu Buyuan died, but the cold lizard, which was his spiritual beast, became a god.

Qin Sang thought to himself that he had not had much contact with Yu Wang in the past, and wondered if the demon's temperament had changed. If the demon was unruly, it would be easy to deal with, just hand the North Sea demon tribe over to Yu Nu or Han Xi, and he still had two demon lords in his altar that he hadn't released.

As for the human race in the North Sea, Xuantian Palace is the only dominant one and has a deep connection with him. As long as Xuantian Palace is willing to cooperate, there is nothing else to worry about.

Zhongzhou is the one that needs to be focused on. All the ethnic groups and factions are intertwined and need to be carefully sorted out.

Li Yufu pointed to Zuiyuan in the east and said, "Fairy Qiuzhi is extremely talented. In fact, even without the Qingling Qi, she is one of the people with the greatest hope of breaking through to the God Transformation Realm."

As they were talking, they had already arrived near the Tianxing Plateau.

"It's a pity that Taoist Master Zhenyi's two disciples, both of whom were excellent in talent and character, were unable to advance even a single step after reaching the late Nascent Soul stage because of the flaws in their joint cultivation method. In the end, they stopped there and died with regret. The Tianxing League was full of different thoughts and soon fell apart..."

Li Yufu was narrating all the way and unknowingly had arrived at the Thousand Mountains and Bamboo Sea. He took out the temple master's imperial order, waved it in front of him, and passed through the formation with Qin Sang, and the guarding demon soldiers were completely unaware.

As they stepped into the Qianshan Bamboo Sea, they heard a lazy voice coming from inside, "How come the master has the time to come back? But what big move is the Changyou tribe going to make? Uh..."

The voice suddenly paused.

The next moment, a pretty figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin Sang and Li Yufu. She was wearing a plain white dress and no makeup. She had a round face and round eyes. She looked at Qin Sang with her mouth wide open. Even her mouth was round, except for her ears which were pointed.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Nu, how are you?" Qin Sang bowed with a smile.

"Qin..."

Yu Nu was surprised and delighted, she was speechless, she uttered a cry, and hurriedly bowed, "Yu Nu greets Master Qin."

……

The three of them strolled in the clouds and flew slowly eastward.

After a thousand years of separation, Qin Sang and Yu Nu were filled with sorrow when talking about the past and the missing fellow Taoists, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Qianshan Bamboo Sea, Qingyang Temple and the surrounding areas are now regarded by outsiders as Yu Nu's dojo. The disciples of Qingyang Temple and the demon cultivators of Qianshan Bamboo Sea can choose a beautiful place to open a cave when they have achieved success in their cultivation, without worrying about being disturbed.

The ancestral temple of Qingyang Temple, Cuiping Mountain, which was the former Great Sui Dynasty, is also located here.

They went straight to Cuiping Mountain. All the disciples who had made contributions to Qingyang Temple would be buried in the back mountain and enjoy offerings from future generations, including the tombs of Tan Hao and others.

The Patriarch's Hall.

Qin Sang lit three incense sticks and looked at the tablet above. There were not only Taoist Jixin and Mingyue, but also Yunyouzi and his.

Qingyang Temple thought he had fallen, and Yunyouzi certainly had no hope of resurrection. Thousands of years later, Qin Sang could still recall the memories of his time at Qingyang Temple.

After he finished worshipping, Yu Nu couldn't help but ask, "Will Senior Bamboo Demon come back?"

Li Yufu looked nervous. He wanted to ask something but didn't dare to.

"Will do!"

Qin Sang nodded heavily.

Yu Nu and Li Yu Fu both trusted Qin Sang unconditionally and couldn't help but smile with joy.

At this time, Li Yufu thought of something else and said, "There is one more thing I want to report to my uncle. In recent years, strange things have happened in some places. In the temples of Chenghuang, the clay sculptures and wooden figures that were worshipped suddenly came alive and gave birth to gods. After asking, I learned that it was the souls of people who returned to their original positions after death, and became gods in a daze. Because of the Changyou clan, everyone has not yet decided how to deal with them. Seeing that these gods are deeply connected with the mortal world, they will not affect the pattern of the cultivation world for the time being, and can help various sects to stabilize the mortal world, so we let them go for the time being."

There was one more thing he didn't say. Since the gods appeared frequently in the world, some people were worried that the holy statues that were worshipped by the world might be possessed by something and give birth to something extraordinary.

Qin Sang sensed the presence of several gods on the way here. There were no gods in the Storm Realm before, but after returning to the universe, gods have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, which is obviously strange.

Qin Sang couldn't figure out the reason and could only attribute it to the peculiarity of the Storm Realm itself.

He had a guess, could it be that the way of heaven in the lower world was incomplete, and what was missing in the Storm Realm was precisely the way of God?

Li Yufu paused, and seeing that Qin Sang didn't say anything, he continued, "Back then, people built the Wanjia Ancestral Hall out of gratitude for the kindness of Master and Grandmaster, and it has been visited by many people ever since. Is it possible that Grandmaster and Master..."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Qin Sang knew what he was thinking, but thought that there was little hope for the return of Jixin Taoist and Mingyue. If the Shinto had always existed, with the merits of Jixin Taoist and Mingyue, they would definitely be accepted into the Shinto, but they had been dead for more than a thousand years, and their spirits had long been annihilated.

If they can return, it proves that everyone has a unique mark in this world, which will not be erased after death. Reincarnation may not be a legend!

Before, Qin Sang heard that among the eight great states, the Zhenzhou in the southeast was the most prosperous, and the other places were mostly suppressed. Qin Sang had traveled through the three states and had never seen a successful Shintoist. If he hadn't received the news from the Storm Realm, he might have gone there in person.

Next, Qin Sang went to the tomb to pay tribute to Tan Hao and others, and left Cuiping Mountain alone.

Looking down from the sky, the former Sanwu City has gone through several ups and downs and is no longer what it used to be. The river has risen sharply, the new city has moved far away from the old site, and the bun shop is no longer there. I wonder if the family has passed on their bloodline.

He continued northward and finally came to the top of a mountain.

Pilgrimage mountain!
Under the careful protection of Qingyang Temple, the scenery of the pilgrimage mountain remains the same.

Qin Sang descended from the escape light, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and walked along a trail for a while. A blank monument appeared in front of him.

No matter how well it is protected, the stone tablet will inevitably leave traces of time after thousands of years of erosion.

Qin Sang paused, looked silently for a while, walked to the tomb, put down the wine pot in his hand, and murmured: "This time, I came a little late..."

He carefully swept away the dust, sat down in front of the tomb, and looked up at the sky.

Before he knew it, more than a thousand years had passed. At that time, he could never have imagined how many hardships and wonderful things he would experience in the future after making that choice.

The sky was dark, and it seemed the same as in the past, but it was not the same sky. Thinking of the oath he made at that time, he broke through the sky and came to the "heaven", but he had not seen the immortals yet. The future was still a long way to go.

Fortunately, Princess Dongyang also came under the same sky with him and could continue to witness him fulfilling his oath.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Qin Sang stood up, toasted Princess Dongyang, and poured the pot of fine wine in front of the tomb.

There were no words of remembrance, no grand speeches, just a simple "I'm leaving!"

Then he waved casually, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.

The figure was gradually swallowed up by the night.

The moonlight is hazy, and the shadows of the trees are dancing, swaying on the stone tablet. (End of this chapter)
