After inheriting Taoism, I became a top class

Xia Qinghe waited for him to finish reading, then took back the notebook, then tore off that page and the next page, and lit it with a lighter casually.

"The equipment is quite complete." Zhang Xian smiled, "Is there any more? Give me a set."

Xia Qinghe stuffed the two-page hardcover book and pencil in his hand to Zhang Xian: "Take it and use it, I still have it. However, don't use too much force when writing, the paper below is easy to print , will also leave clues. Therefore, when burning, it is best to burn the next page together."

"Understood." Zhang Xian said, "You have a lot of eyes."

"Of course, otherwise, can they bring me here?" Xia Qinghe said, "This place makes me very uncomfortable. I really want to leave here earlier."

Zhang Xian said: "The rest of them said that there is plenty of spiritual energy here, and they like it very much. It's a pity that no outsiders are left on the island. Otherwise, people from the Taoist sect would have to squeeze their heads to practice on the island."

Xia Qinghe bared his teeth and smiled: "There will be problems if you stay here to practice, and you won't be able to pay back the karma."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xian couldn't understand again.

Bai Ze said in a low voice: "I can't explain a few sentences. Anyway, like Qinghe, I don't like this place very much. Even breathing makes people very uncomfortable."

"Where's Bai Wei? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhang Xian asked again.

Bai Wei squatted on Xia Qinghe's shoulder and looked around: "I don't think there is anything."

Zhang Xian nodded, took out two pieces of white jade from the backpack behind him, handed one to Bai Ze and Xia Qinghe, and said: "The things brought from home can be used for concentration and tranquility. Putting them in your pockets should be a little bit easier for you two." effect."

Bai Ze said, "Do you often go back to Dragon Palace?"

"I go back once in a while." Zhang Xian said, "Nowadays, ocean pollution is getting worse and worse, and we've moved a lot of things ashore."

Xia Qinghe took the piece of white jade and found that the tentacles were warm and moist, exuding a sense of tranquility, and even breathing became a little more comfortable, so he thanked him and put the white jade in his pocket.

After wandering around the island for an afternoon, they also chatted with the people on the island about some daily life, and it was getting dark soon.

Although this is a holy place for cultivation, just like what the previous head-down master said, not everyone has the aptitude for cultivation.

People who can cultivate are also divided into different aptitudes, and not all of them are as good as Mr. Ruan.

Xia Qinghe has already seen that the group of people who work in the fields are ordinary people. Because they can't practice, they can only plant the land and vegetables, and do these heavy physical labors.

There are also some people who can practice but have mediocre qualifications, and they will also engage in other jobs.

Only people with excellent qualifications like Mr. Ruan can devote themselves to cultivation without being disturbed, or they can become leaders and give orders to others.

In addition, although this place is isolated from the outside world and there is no mobile phone signal, Xia Qinghe learned from the chat that the people here are also proficient in computers, and the school will also learn these things.

Bai Ze whispered: "Don't look at the simple food here, in fact, the whole island is very rich. Just go out and sell an antique, and you can feed the people here for many years. From my point of view, there must be a signal tower here. It was only because we were coming over that we were afraid that we would pass on any news, so we deliberately blocked the signal."

Xia Qinghe said: "I always feel that we know too much, and then we won't be locked up and let us leave, right?"

"If that's the case, we'll take you out." Zhang Xian didn't care, "I can't stop me after all, so don't worry."

While talking, I saw people working in the fields starting to call it a day and go back.

The children after school played outside for a while, and were urged to go home by the adults.

The woman behind said: "It's getting late, and the island usually ends at sunset, so it's time for us to send all the guests to their accommodation."

"Okay, let's go back." Bai Ze said, "I came here once a long time ago. At that time, there didn't seem to be any rules of resting at sunset."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. In short, we all follow the rule of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. After 07:30 in the evening, everyone is not allowed to leave the house. It will not be until [-]:[-] the next morning. You can open the door and leave the house, all guests please abide by this rule." The woman said.

"Then what will happen if I don't abide by it? I'm used to nightlife, and I still have to run at night after nine o'clock in the evening." Xia Qinghe said: "If you lock me in the house so early, I will go crazy."

The woman said coldly: "Penglai Xianshan is a special place. It looks safe, but in fact there are mysteries everywhere. If the guests don't follow the rules and sneak out at night, they may be in danger. At that time, they will either die or be injured. We are will not be responsible."

"Isn't this a fairy mountain? What danger can there be in a fairy mountain?" Xia Qinghe was still asking.

"I don't know, I don't go out at night anyway." The woman said coldly, "There is a car ahead, I'll take you back."

A small van was parked on a flat ground not far away. Xia Qing and they got into the car and were sent back to the row of yards.

Deputy Director Li and the others were also sent back, and they were standing at the gate of the courtyard talking.

"Dinner will be delivered right away, please eat it as soon as possible, and someone will come to take away the dishes after half an hour." Mr. Ruan said: "Everyone knows the rules on the island. Once it is past 07:30, please don't eat any more. go out."

"Is it okay to punch in the yard?" someone asked.

"You can enter the courtyard, but you are not allowed to leave the courtyard door." Mr. Ruan said.

Dinner was brought over. The dishes were as simple as lunch, including cold cucumber, braised fish and brown rice. Besides, there was an extra bowl of egg drop soup.

Deputy Director Li took his own food to Xia Qinghe's yard and ate with them.

"Did you ask anything this afternoon?"

Xia Qinghe said: "I just know that this place is not as primitive as it looks on the surface. Everyone on the island can use computers. Since there are computers, there must be signal towers, but there is no signal when we come here. How amazing."

"It's really weird here." Deputy Director Li said: "When we were counting the situation on the island in the afternoon, they even brought out their laptops, as if they were not afraid of us knowing. Also, I don't know about the curfew rules. Is it aimed at us, or it was there before."

"I observed it, and those farmers seem to be used to watching the weather to call it a day, so they may not be targeting us specifically." Xia Qinghe said: "However, tonight, do we really want to stay in the house honestly and not go out? ?”

Deputy Director Li said: "I definitely can't go out. I came here on behalf of my superiors. Before I came, I said that I would abide by the island's rules and respect their customs. I definitely can't take the lead in breaking them."

Hearing this, Zhang Xian laughed: "This is implying that we should sneak out and have a look."

"I didn't say anything like that. You were also sent by the Bureau of Demon Management, but the behavior patterns of big monsters are difficult to control. I know that." Deputy Director Li chuckled.

After Xia Qinghe finished his meal, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote the sentence that he had written for Zhang Xian to Deputy Director Li for a look.

After reading it, Deputy Director Li stopped breathing for a long time.

It said on the paper: [The island owner is not in good health, he is not a normal living person. ]

After a while, Xia Qinghe burned the note, and then Deputy Director Li said, "Really?"

"I agree with Mr. Bai Ze, so it should be right." Xia Qinghe said, "So, now, Deputy Director Li can understand why they did those things, right?"

"Understood." Deputy Director Li took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then said: "If this is true, after we go back this time, our tasks will become heavier and heavier."

"It's not just you, it's best to inform all the sects. Everyone has to pay attention to this matter, otherwise, it will affect not just one or two people, but everyone." Xia Qinghe said: "Don't talk about this for now. Let’s go out and talk about it when we get back.”

"En." Deputy Director Li looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, I'm going back to the yard first. At night, if you go out to see it, it's best to use the reduced prototype."

Zhang Xian smiled: "Understood."

After Deputy Director Li went out, someone came in to clean up the dishes.

Xia Qinghe took a change of clothes, took a brief shower, and then went back to the room on the left and lay down.

There is a power system on the island, but there are no electrical appliances in the room except electric lights.

The temperature here is suitable all year round, neither cold nor hot, so there is really no need for other electrical appliances.

Xia Qinghe searched around the house and found that there was no jack, so he took out his power bank and started charging his phone.

Although there was no signal on the phone, Xia Qinghe still took a lot of photos.

He leaned against the head of the bed, zooming in on every photo he took today while charging.

After a while, Zhang Xian also came in. He sat on another bed and looked at Bai Wei quietly.

Bai Wei rolled his eyes: "See what I'm doing?"

"I'm thinking, when I sneak out later, if I want to become your age."

"Have you changed?"

"I haven't tried it, I don't know." Zhang Xian said, "But they have started to seal the door outside."

"Seal the door?" Xia Qinghe raised his head, "How did you seal it? Use a barrier?"

"Yes, use enchantment."

Xia Qinghe said: "Then don't go out, if you touch the barrier, you will be discovered."

Zhang Xian said, "What if we dig a hole out of the ground?"

"I just don't know what kind of enchantment they are setting up. If it is a spherical enchantment, then you will be found if you dig a hole underground."

"Tsk, it's really troublesome. So, didn't they make it clear that there is a problem on the island?" Zhang Xian lay down on the bed, "Is he the only one who is like that when you found out today?"

Xia Qinghe nodded: "I only found him for now, but..."

He stopped talking, took out a pen and paper, and wrote on the hardcover: [Mr. Ruan is also not quite right, but the smell is not obvious, I can't be sure. ]

After reading it, Zhang Xian said, "What did Bai Ze say?"

"Mr. Bai also said the same thing, but he said that the one on the paper is not dangerous and can be ignored." Xia Qinghe burned two more pieces of paper, looked at the time, and said, "It's 07:30, the enchantment has already started to be used .”

"Then go to bed." Zhang Xian turned over, "Bai Wei, do you want to sleep with me? My bed is bigger."

Bai Wei snorted: "You stink, I don't want to be next to you."

After finishing speaking, it rolled into a small ball on Xia Qinghe's pillow and started snoring.

Xia Qinghe touched its soft head to make sure it was really asleep, then whispered: "Captain Zhang, I think you should change your thinking and behavior."

"what are you saying?"

Xia Qinghe said: "I mean, you can watch more love movies, maybe you can get some inspiration."

Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes and looked a little unhappy, but after a while he said, "Do you have any recommendations?"

Xia Qinghe then recommended some classic love movies to him. These were all the courses that Mao Xiaohong arranged for him to watch before, and they were part of the compulsory acting courses.

Zhang Xian nodded seriously, and wrote it down in the memo on his mobile phone.

Xia Qinghe checked all the photos and saw that there was nothing wrong with them, so he also put down his phone and got ready to sleep.

Although the conditions here are simple, everything is clean, and the bedding also has a smell of being exposed to the sun, which makes people feel at ease.

I don't know how long I slept, Xia Qinghe was awakened by the urge to defecate in a daze, and it was past twelve o'clock when he checked his phone.

He yawned and got out of bed half asleep.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Xian asked suddenly.

"Toilet...Captain Zhang isn't asleep, is he?"

"I am on duty at night." Zhang Xian said, "Besides, we monsters don't need to sleep every day."

Xia Qinghe yawned again and walked out of the room.

The courtyard has a layout of two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, and there is a small kitchen, but no one uses it.

Xia Qinghe went to the toilet, saw the bright moonlight outside through the window, opened the door, and walked into the yard.

The island at night is very quiet, just like the countryside where Xia Qinghe lived when he was a child, there are no bright and colorful lights in the city, only the moonlight quietly illuminates everything.

Xia Qinghe moved his nose - the night air smelled even more unpleasant.

Zhang Xian also came out: "Why don't you sleep?"

"The air smells even worse at night." Xia Qinghe said, "I don't know what this place used to be like. Anyway, it can't be a holy place for cultivation."

"Didn't Bai Ze say it? It wasn't like this before." Zhang Xian said: "We haven't been here for many years, and we don't know exactly what has changed here. However, when I came here, the island The inhabitants of the city don't look like that."

"Then what are they like?"

"At that time, they looked very happy, and everyone had a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts. The children were laughing, and the adults would not look sinister like Mr. Ruan. I read "Peach Blossom Spring" ", at that time, I thought this place was probably the peach blossom garden in the world." Zhang Xian said: "It's normal to think about it. The outside world has changed so much, and the aura is getting thinner year by year. We big monsters have to rely on devouring the past. The ancient jade that came down was used to maintain a certain amount of consumption, but Penglai Xianshan still has such a strong aura, no matter how you look at it, it feels abnormal."

"You're right." A sinister voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the yard, startling the man and the demon.

Zhang Xian immediately blocked Xia Qinghe behind him: "Who? Get out!"

A white shadow appeared from the corner of the courtyard wall. It was a white translucent shadow, tall and tall, wearing a toga with long sleeves. It should not be a person of this era.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm the earthbound spirit here." The shadow whispered, "No one has been here for a long time. I'm too lonely, so I'll come out and talk to you."

Xia Qinghe was very pleasantly surprised. He said, "Why didn't I notice your existence before? I've been around the island for so long today, but I didn't find a single ghost."

"Of course, you don't even look at this place. If there are lonely ghosts, they will become food for their group." Shadow said, "As for me, it's because of my strong ability that I can't be caught. Stayed here consciously for hundreds of years."

Zhang Xian said: "Since it is so powerful, why did it become an earth-bound spirit?"

Xia Qinghe explained: "Earth-bound spirits are usually trapped by obsession, and unless someone saves them, they won't leave."

"That's right, I'm stuck here because of obsession." Shadow said, "Who are you? Why did you come to this kind of place?"

"We are here to investigate, to check something." Xia Qinghe said: "Since you have been here for a long time and have not been discovered by the people on the island, can you tell us why the air on the island is so Does it smell bad?"

Shadow laughed: "Oh, not bad, you even know this?"

"You'll know it once you smell it."

"Okay, I'm bored anyway, so I'll just talk to you guys." Shadow said, "You don't have to worry, there's no monitoring here, and no one will hear us."

Xia Qinghe suddenly said: "Forget it, let's not listen, you didn't tell the truth, I don't believe it anymore."

"Hey, what do you mean? What's wrong with me?" Shadow was anxious.

"You said you stayed here for hundreds of years, but your tone of voice is so modern that you even know the monitoring equipment, and you can tell you're lying when you hear it." Xia Qinghe said, "Admit it, you were captured by the island. The people from here got here to lie to us."

Shadow was in a hurry: "No, no! I really didn't! I learned these words from the people who lived here before! At that time they had already talked about telephone calls and monitoring, of course I also learned it."

The shadow should be talking about the group of young people who went to the island to cultivate in Master Jiangtou. Xia Qinghe said: "I still don't think it's right. It's not a good thing for the earth binding spirit to stay here for too long. I'd better send you down. Captain Zhang, please Take out the talisman in my backpack."

"Don't don't don't! I really didn't lie! How about it, I don't ask you anything, you just ask me, so it's okay? You won't lose anything if you ask me, right? I'm really too Lonely! I didn't lie, I really didn't lie!" Shadow wanted to swear to the sky.

Xia Qinghe said: "Okay, let's talk about the air first. When did the air on the island start to change?"

"I'm a ghost, I don't need to breathe, but I can hear other people talking. The first time I heard them talking was seven or eighty years ago." Shadow began to speak slowly, "At that time, the island The people were a little panicked, but the problem was quickly resolved by the island owner. After that, no one mentioned it. Only once, an old man who had lived for a long time chatted with his grandson and said that he smelled it when he was young. The smell of the air is different from what it is now. However, within a few days, the old man passed away. After that, no one mentioned the smell of the air. Anyway, you should be careful, but don’t wait a few days Then die."

Xia Qinghe and Zhang Xian looked at each other, then continued to ask: "Have you seen the island owner?"

"Of course I've seen it before. The island owner was my junior at the time."

"Who are you lying to? The island owner is your younger brother? Haven't you been dead for hundreds of years? How old is the island owner?"

"The owner of the island is more than 300 years old. This is not unusual. The reason why Penglai is called Xianshan is because there is the secret of immortality here." Shadow's tone became sarcasm, "However, you know that longevity What is the secret of immortality?"

"What is it?"

"Extend your life with your life. To put it simply, it is to extend the life of others to yourself." When Shadow said this, his tone had become very dark.

Xia Qinghe said: "Did you die because you helped people survive?"

"Yes, you are very smart." Shadow sneered and said, "Are you saying it's funny? The so-called fairy mountain is actually just a place where people's lives are ignored. Immortality is also fake! Penglai's first island The Lord created a secret technique that can extend the lifespan of other people to himself. He lived for more than 700 years, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, so he collapsed and died. After that, the selected Every island owner will practice this secret technique. In order to make themselves live longer, they spread the rumor that Penglai is a fairy mountain, attracting many immortal cultivators to practice. And they can choose those People with excellent qualifications are their candidates for life extension. Anyway, the more lives they have, the stronger their abilities will be. Those who have been renewed will have their souls collected after death, so there has been no news at all for so many years. been out."

"But you have not been confiscated." Zhang Xian said.

"What's the use? I'm stuck here, I can't go anywhere."

Xia Qinghe said: "Did you be renewed by the current island owner, or by the previous one?"

"It was the last one. At that time, I always thought that I would be the successor of Master. Unexpectedly, Master had already decided on the candidate in private, and he treated me well only because I was powerful and could help him extend his life longer. That's all. But what he didn't expect was that my ability is indeed very powerful. Although he used me to save his life, my life sent him back to the West. Hahahahahaha!"

The shadow's laughter echoed in the night sky, it sounded harsh, but the people in the next yard didn't seem to hear anything.

Xia Qinghe said: "This enchantment is well done, and it is completely soundproof."

Shadow said: "You are a young man with very good aptitude, and you look like you will live a long life. If I were the owner of the island, I might choose you as the person to extend my life."

Zhang Xian said coldly: "We will protect him."

This is Bai Wei's cat slave, if something happens to Xia Qinghe, Bai Wei will die of grief.

In order not to make Bai Wei sad, Zhang Xian will protect Xia Qinghe no matter what.

Xia Qinghe said: "Then tell me, how is he going to use me to extend my life? What was the process like? Do you remember?"

"How could I forget? Even if I drink Mengpo soup, I won't forget! He will arrest you and take you directly to the oldest formation on the island. After doing the trick, you will just watch yourself The lifespan of your life flows into the opponent's body bit by bit, and in the end, you become a withered zombie, and the opponent will suddenly become a young man full of vitality."

Zhang Xian clicked his tongue, and his tone changed: "Penglai Xianshan is so proud of rejuvenating, that's how it came about?"

Xia Qinghe didn't speak, but his hairs stood on end, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

No one would have thought that Penglai Fairy Mountain, a holy place for cultivating immortals that is longed for by people, actually hides such a heinous secret.

"Yes, that's how it came about." Shadow suddenly said, "I've said so much, why aren't you afraid?"

"Because we still have a lot of helpers outside, if something happens to us here, people outside will blow up the island." Xia Qinghe said lightly.

As Mr. Bai Ze said, if things really come to a critical juncture, it is very simple to destroy an island that does not exist on the map.
