On the second day, before dawn, Xie Changming came out of the inn, jumped on his horse, tied a sack of chicken on each side of the horse's back, and bought a bag of pine nuts when passing by the morning market to catch stupid birds.

Xie Changming thought: The pine nuts are really wronged by Xie Xiaoqi, and he will buy some good fruits to coax him when he catches them back.

In the next three days, Xie Changming searched the surrounding thirteen barren mountains and eight lakes, but none of them responded to the magic circle.

In the evening, Xie Changming led the horse, walked down the mountain, and looked at the map again in the dim afterglow, making sure that there was no place to look for nearby.

The place where he is now is the state of Zhou in Yunzhou, a warm area along the south of the Yangtze River.Little Bald has few hairs and is weak. He doesn't like winter and won't go to places where the weather is freezing.If you want to find it, you can only continue to go south.Yunzhou is located in the north, only the border with Yizhou is warmer.After leaving the state of Zhou, it was not far from Yizhou.

The world is divided into four continents, among which Yunzhou, Yizhou, and Dongzhou are connected, and Lingzhou is on the sea, which must be crossed by boat.

Xie Changming planned to go in the direction of Yizhou.If Yizhou doesn't have one, they can only go to Dongzhou.Dongzhou is the most prosperous continent, with countless spiritual veins, even larger sects can occupy a blessed place.Xie Changming hadn't been there a few times.In the first life, he circled around Yunzhou, and later took refuge in the sea and went to Lingzhou.In the second life, he entered the magic way, so going to Dongzhou is always inappropriate, the meaning of provocation is too strong.

Day and night alternated, and a month later, Xie Changming no longer needed to ride a horse, and could fly with his spiritual power.

Most people have cultivated to build the foundation, the spiritual energy enters the body, the muscles and veins are plentiful, and they can barely fly with the wind.But most people will never do this. Foundation establishment is very far away for ordinary people, similar to immortals, but it is just the beginning on the road of cultivation.The spiritual power stored in the veins during the foundation building period cannot support a long journey, but will make people exhausted, and if you are a little careless, you may become enchanted.

For someone like Xie Changming who is constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth for his own use day and night, others will probably think him a lunatic, and it is absolutely impossible to try this way.

No one in the world can do that.Since ancient times, Taoism and demons have been incompatible, and there is still a chance to become demons when cultivating the Tao, and there is no turning back when cultivating demons.Only Xie Changming has practiced Taoism and demons before, and he can go back and practice Taoism again.

Xie Changming didn't think there was anything wrong with cultivating demons.If there is a powerful person who enters the devil from the Tao, he must sacrifice tens of thousands of people and use their blood to open the way to the demon world.But if Xie Changming entered the demon world with his current cultivation, he would not have to be so troublesome. He only needed to make a sincere oath, take the palm, ring finger and blood of his heart, and set up a magic circle at any place, and then he could enter the demon world.

But as we all know, there is no way in the devil world, Xie Changming wants to trouble the way of heaven, it is always more convenient to practice the way.

Even fellow Taoists who practice the same Tao are very different.Ordinary people use countries as their boundaries, while practitioners use continents as their boundaries.

A group of people discussed together, and the one from Dongzhou was always the most respectable.

For example, Yunzhou is located in a remote place, there are not many blessed lands of immortal residences, and the spiritual energy is also thin, so there are naturally much fewer practitioners seeking immortality.

But not without.

The enemy of Xie Changming's first life is the largest sect in Yunzhou - Wanfamen.

Wanfamen is located at the junction of Yunzhou and Yizhou. The sect was built on Xianhuo. The surrounding mountains and fog are thick and full of magic circles, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

Wanfamen has only been in existence for more than [-] years, and has not found a blessed land. It was barely built on a Lingshan mountain range that is not full of aura. It is logically difficult to become a great sect, but in fact it is very rich. .

This wealth depends on two businesses.

It can be seen that these two businesses are unusual.

One is human pill.As the name suggests, it is to use human blood, heart, liver, spleen, eyeballs, and brain, supplemented with rare medicinal materials, and then use human bones as firewood to refine it into a finger-sized elixir.Such elixirs are generally not eaten by Taoists, for fear of encountering karma, they will not be able to pass the questioning of the heavens, and they will not make progress in their cultivation, but they will be punished by heaven.

The second is the cauldron.

Wan Famen recruited many children from poor families in the name of cultivating immortals in a remote place in Yunzhou.When those children arrived at Xianhuo, they were divided into two groups according to their qualifications.A wave of elixir at the cost of cutting off the veins forcibly improves their cultivation, until these "human elixir" materials are filled to the state of perfect qi refining, they can start alchemy.The other group was raised in the back mountain, taught the spells of double cultivation, and sold after they grew up.

Xie Changming practiced in Wanfamen in his first life.

Then forged an unending death feud.In the second life of Xie Changming's rebirth, he vaguely realized that he had left the abyss, and immediately entered the demon world, determined to take revenge.

Now it's Xie Changming's third life, and any grudges and grievances will be repaid in the second life.

But to go from Yunzhou to Yizhou, one must pass through the Wanfa Gate of Xianshan Volcano.

Xie Changming thought for a moment, landed from a gap in the clouds, and went to a nearby market town to buy an old donkey.

He thought: After two days of delay, with the speed of the little bald hair, it shouldn't be too far.

The 15th year of Qingyuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the third year after Xie Changming woke up.

It is already summer in June, but Dongzhou Shaohai City is like spring all year round. The streets are full of peach blossoms, catkins are everywhere, and the streets are bustling with people.

Xie Changming, who lived in Shaohai City, came to the inn. The mortals opened the inn, but they received Lingshi.

At this time, most of the people staying in the hotel were casual cultivators who came to take the entrance examination for Lulin Academy.

Xie Changming also came for this.He searched for the bird for three years, searched almost the whole of Yizhou and Dongzhou, but did not find any trace of Xie Xiaoqi.After thinking about it, I couldn't go on like this, so I wanted to find another way, so I thought of Lulin Academy.

It is said that all the congenital spirit beasts in the world are recorded in the ancient books of Lulin Academy, so we must be able to find out what kind of bird Xie Xiaoqi is.

Xie Changming also tried to find an old Taoist who is good at divination to predict the location of the little bald hair. Unfortunately, for divination, Xie Changming's hand-painted portraits cannot be regarded as the basis, and only the birth date or name can be used.With the birth date, Xie Changming naturally doesn't know when Xie Xiaoqi broke his shell.The name was known at first, but the little bald hair was not picked up by Xie Changming in this life, so the name Xie Xiaoqi was useless.

The old Taoist sighed for a long time, and seeing that Xie Changming added another bag of spirit stones, he finally said another way.Innate spirit beasts generally have difficulty in procreating, and the population is not large.No matter how bad it is, if you know what kind of bird Xie Xiaoqi is, use this divination, maybe you can find it.

But there are so many spirit beasts in the world, and Xie Xiaoqi is an exceptionally useless kind, so he must not be a famous spirit beast. Xie Changming searched many library cabinets, but couldn't find any records.There is no other way but to put his mind on the world-famous Lulin Academy.

The day before the exam, many candidates gathered in the lobby of the inn to chat, and no one studied hard.It is probably because the achievement of Taoism is measured in years and months, and it is useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, everyone is very relaxed.

Xie Changming sat by the window, which was a good position where he could see the outside and hear the discussions inside the house.

We just got together for tea in the morning, and we were not familiar with each other, but we still pretended to discuss some issues in Taoism practice.At noon, the brothers who had already drunk and eaten meat spoke the truth one after another.

Someone said: "I came to Lulin Academy not to seek Taoism, but to make friends with those sect disciples."

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence around.

After a while, someone echoed: "Brother Chen said that being a casual cultivator is not a good way out, it's better to join a big sect!"

This can be said to be the voice of the majority of casual cultivators.

"That's natural. We are cultivating immortals, but we haven't really become immortals. We are still human."

"Even if it's bigu, it doesn't eat fireworks in the world, so it must feed on spiritual energy! How can we do without spiritual stones."

Xie Changming took a sip of his tea and glanced at the impassioned crowd around him.

Everyone is a cultivator, and they pay attention to quietness and inaction, not to fight with the world.However, this way does not cultivate people to the point of extinction of passion and desire. Human nature still likes to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Of course, Xie Changming is not on this list.He used to be a demon who killed more than 40 monks in the Mahayana period. Even if he started all over again, even if he changed his career to become an immortal, he would not be reduced to the point where he had to hug his thigh.

As a result, he was no longer interested in exchanging information with the next group of casual practitioners about which famous disciples were coming to take the exam, who had a good temper, and whose thighs were easier to hug.

Xie Changming tilted his head to look out the window, and the sky suddenly darkened, as if there were clouds covering the sun.

He looked up, but found that Yunxia was carrying a huge fairy ship, sailing over Shaohai City, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and it was slowly landing.

The steps in front of Lulin Academy burst into light, and a green jade platform rose up, and the fairy boat stopped on the jade platform.

The big bell in Shaohai City, which is seldom tolled once in a century, was suddenly rang, deafening.

An old voice said in a long voice: "Congratulations to the Changming Bird."

Dozens of people descended from the stern first, and the last person came out from the bow when the bell died down.

The clouds enveloping the boat gradually dispersed, and then regrouped following the man's footsteps, one step at a time.

Xie Changming suddenly remembered what they said just now.

"The most honorable among them is the divine bird Changming bird."

"It is said that it is the bird that carried the lamp for the gods in ancient times. It can communicate with the will of heaven and has a noble blood. There are only two in the world."

"If...if I can make friends with this divine bird..."

Xie Changming looked at the group of old friends beside him, and felt that their wishes were about to be shattered.

Even Yunxia, ​​who is holding the boat, is so dog-legged beside the magnificent Changmingniao, which shows how he has been pampered by thousands of pampers since he was a child, and he cannot be easily cursed.

Finally, the clouds dispersed, and the Changming Bird stood on the jade platform and walked towards Lulin Academy.

Xie Changming's eyesight was excellent, he couldn't see the man's face clearly when he looked at it from a distance, but he was wearing a green robe, with long black hair, and his demeanor was cold, he looked very quiet, noble and unattainable.

The author has something to say:

Changming Bird: Thank you for the invitation, the top Bai Fumei is here.
