The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

The matter in Xiping Mansion came to an end soon. Li Fan was holding three Jindan monks hostage on the surface, and Qing Tingsou was secretly scheming. Huang Hai was not here. Even though other forces still had manpower, they lost the Jindan monks. Of course, relying on you can't make big waves.

That night, five commanders led their troops into the city and killed all the four to five thousand soldiers that Huang Hai had found from nowhere.

They really all were killed. The people of Xiping Mansion had enjoyed peace for many years. They were really devastated by these guest soldiers who suddenly came from the north. They gnashed their teeth with hatred and competed to eat their meat. So they helped the soldiers from Liguo open the door and lead the way. None of the swordsmen from other places could escape. They were all kidnapped and beheaded. Some of them were beaten alive for a whole night before they died.

Although he was covered in blood and sweat from the whole night of killing, he took the girl to identify the head of her enemy, took two eggs, and received three bows from her. After hearing the words "Thank you so much, my benefactor", Li Fan I think this trip is worth it.

So the next morning, Li Fan sat on top of the city gate, chewing hard-boiled eggs slowly. Qing Tingsou also arrived late.

Then Li Fan watched coldly, watching Junior Brother Liang and two friendly people who happened to pass by also show up. Everyone made impassioned speeches, competed with each other's acting skills, and gave confessions together, detailing Huang Hai's collusion with the Demon Cult, his affair with the Nangong family, and the harm to the people. , framed and slandered Mozhushan's good reputation, so Qing Tingsou also expressed his "shock" and proposed to jointly write to Mozhushan and invite the Discipline Academy to come and investigate.

Li Fan didn't care about the rest. Since Qing Tingsou cared so much about balance and the overall situation, he calculated and calculated, and even asked Li Fan to do the things that came forward, then the Xiping Mansion was left in a mess. It's quite reasonable to leave it to the old man to clean up, isn't it? I'm afraid that guy still wants it.

So leaving the insidious riddler from the Shenxiao sect behind in Xiping Mansion to stabilize the situation, Li Fan himself flew his sword straight towards Changsi City in the name of "personally delivering a letter to the temple master".

I definitely have to go to Changsi City. In addition to delivering the message, one is to hunt down that son of a bitch traitor in Huang Hai, and the other is to understand the cause and effect of his real body 'Li Yi'.

After experiencing many people and many things, if he had to choose, Li Fan would also like to be a disciple of the Mozhu Mountain Southern Sect wearing straw sandals, focusing on fighting monsters, leveling up, cultivating immortals, and ascending to immortality. This simple and innocent single-player game, unpretentious hidden... Compared with the intrigues, intrigues, and intrigues in the north, the life of a fairy is countless times more carefree and enjoyable.

But people are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves. What's more, Li Fan has been sucked into the whirlpool now.

Because the pair of mentally retarded brothers from the Yu family are looking for death, it may be difficult for him to get along well with the casual cultivators of the Fourteenth Peak for a while.

Moreover, the riddleman Qing Tingsou had a lot of wit hidden in his words. The name he called out to him at the end, "Li You", was probably not an Alzheimer's memory that he had misremembered, but a person from the Southern Sect who really recognized his real name. Call it 'Li You'.

But the system did say that the real name of the body used by Li Fan was 'Li Yi'. Although the system also had great intentions, there was no need to cause trouble with the name, right?

So maybe there is still some misunderstanding between these two names.

And all these doubts can only be solved by going to Changsi City.

If you don't settle these old debts from the human world, you won't be able to cultivate immortality quietly.

Oh, what a nuisance...

But what's even more annoying is that Li Fan can't fly directly into Changsi City to visit the place where he lives 350 steps west of Guangzhaifang and 450 steps south of Xuanfu Gate in Changsi City.

Because they don't have the lordship of the Immortal Palace, and they don't have the ultimatum of the Celestial Master-level mage in hand, the unskilled savage casual cultivators in the mountains are not allowed to fly their royal weapons in the important areas of the capital.

This is also one of the etiquette rules of Zhongyuan Zhengdao. To put it bluntly, lower-class people are not allowed to pass over the heads of princes, generals and ministers, so as not to suddenly jump down from the sky and assassinate them. In short, it is more to show respect for the Immortal Palace system. Loose cultivators who do not follow the rules will be captured by the immortal cultivators who take turns guarding Changsi City.

In the past, the Nangong family's immortal soldiers were responsible for the task of patrolling the sky. Now Mo Zhushan is in charge of Li Guo. Of course, the inner sect does not have so many people to perform duty.

Therefore, the immortal cultivators (security guards) who wandered around the sky in Changsi City, stopped the monks flying with beasts and weapons to check their license plates, and were responsible for guarding the safety of Li Qiu Palace. They were all knighted and enshrined nobles in the Immortal Book of Li Kingdom. , the eldest son of the head of the aristocratic family, that is, the registered disciple of the outer sect holding the Mozhu Mountain Taoist ultimatum.

In the past, everyone was from the same sect in Mozhu Mountain, and no one cared too much about it. However, there has been a lot of commotion in Changsi City recently, and the quarrel between the northern and southern factions is so big that it is difficult to say whether they will still be "same sect" in the future.

Li Fan didn't want to cause trouble. Since he had no official position, he looked at the outer city from a distance, fell to the ground, performed a magic walking technique, and patiently walked all the way to Changsi City along the official road.

Changsi City, Changsi City, Changsi Imperial Capital City.

This city was the residence of the Immortal Queen Nangong, the fourth queen of the Immortal Emperor's main palace. It was the capital of the Li Kingdom, Zhongjing. The entire city was modeled after the imperial capital regulations of the three walls of the Immortal Palace. Three cities are surrounded by six slopes, with a square shape and 108 squares, neatly arranged. The imperial city and the imperial city also follow the rules of the Three Walls, and are all arranged with celestial phenomena and stars. They cover an area of ​​3,600 hectares and have a population of 2.4 million.

Changsi City has such a large population. According to the general situation in this immortal world, at least a quarter of the people are qualified to practice qi. Now that the moon is in the sky, it is easiest to practice for thousands of years. Among them, those who have the opportunity to build a foundation , maybe one-tenth or two, so there would be fifty or sixty thousand foundation-builders.

Even if the vast majority of people are stuck at the perfect state of foundation building, they cannot make any progress. But after all, there are so many people, so many clans, and each has his own family tradition and resources. If you make a quick calculation, if there are not a few golden elixir masters who can acquire the acquired immortal way, there are probably seven or eight hundred, if not a few.

The three times difference in valuation is due to the fact that golden elixirs are really difficult to cultivate, so most of them are fake golden elixirs that are not righteous. They can only be used to see the door or double-cultivate the inner magic of the house, which is similar to the monster inner elixir.

There are only a few true cultivators who can achieve the level of Yuanying Zhenren, probably only one in a hundred, of course from the serious golden elixir. At least Li Fan used his spiritual consciousness to look at Qi along the way, and he could see seven or eight Nascent Soul-level lights blooming in Changsi City.

At first glance, it seems to be similar to Xuanzhou Island in the South China Sea. However, there must be more than this number of Nascent Souls in the city, and some must be hiding their auras. It's not that those who emit divine light without restraint are so arrogant.

The few who took the initiative to expose themselves were probably representatives of the forces in the city. In order to check and balance the forces, they deliberately showed off their strength to intimidate Chu Xiaoxiao. He said that they were sitting in Changsi City and should not think of any conspiracy.

But even if not all the powerful family heads are in the capital, and even if the number of hidden Yuanying old monsters in each family is doubled or tripled, compared to a population of 2.4 million, the twenty-odd authentic Yuanying masters are still Too rare.

This is also because breaking through the threshold of Nascent Soul, the quality of the technique is particularly important. Immortal Palace's mass-produced thugs Nascent Soul, Furnace Nascent Soul, and Jindan Master can give a 50-50 fight. We really cannot compare them with the true practitioners of Lou Guan Taoism and the Taoist preaching of Breaking Tribulations.

After all, hens evolved from dinosaurs and can flap and fly. But if you had a choice, would you choose a hen or a real roc? If there is a chance to seek a higher path, who would be willing to get a fake Nascent Soul that has almost no other use than the ability to fly out of the body and replace the physical body?

Therefore, people like the Liguo clan actually really admire the path of Mozhu Mountain. If they really adhere to Mozhu Mountain sincerely and accept the alliance system of Mozhu Mountain like the casual cultivators of the Fourteenth Peak, then the combined wealth of these aristocratic families will be , after all, if hundreds of golden elixirs can join, Mozhushan can really become one of the most powerful forces in the world.

It's just that the family has a big business and too many people, so it's inevitable that some of them will have messy thoughts.

But then again, sometimes no matter how unpredictable people's hearts are, no matter how sophisticated their plots are, it's useless without strength.

As soon as Li Fan arrived near the outer city wall, he could see the vast and incomparable divine light from a distance, soaring to the sky and covering the earth, stretching mightily, covering the capital, creating a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

This is like the natural power of heaven and earth. Naturally, it is the current national master, Feng Qingniu, the master of Louguan Taoist Temple in Mozhu Mountain. He exudes a Taoist aura that scares all demons. In the face of such absolute strength, there is no room for those ghosts to behave like monsters. .

Li Fan's troubled mood also disappeared when he looked at the mighty pillar of air from a distance. With such a big fist placed there, it is really clear that he is not afraid of ghosts and monsters at all, and there are many tricks of the devil.

It's just like Xuantian Jianyi said, why do you care about all the mess? It's just rubbish that can't even be caught with a sword, and has no qualifications to jump out and recite lines.

'Xuantian Sword Intention, when did I say this, but that's the general meaning. There is another important thing. Li Qingyue, your Taoist mind is unstable. ’

Li Fan was shocked, what? His understanding is not the best in the world, so why is his Taoist mind unstable? ?

'Xuan Tian Sword Intent, haha, cold-blooded and ruthless, a natural tendency to kill is a rare talent, and a natural killer is rare. Although your understanding is not bad, your mind is just an ordinary person.

And in the past six months, you have been killed twice in a row, killing too many people, your energy is filled with blood, and your murderous intention is too much. But now you have taken the serious path of inner elixir, and you are not practicing the way of killing with the sword immortal. These It is not a good thing to have murderous karma without corresponding exercises to transform it.

To make matters worse, you also watched the ferocious beast transform into a Taoist body. Although your cultivation has greatly improved, you usually subconsciously suppress the beastly Taoist body to avoid losing control, which takes up a lot of your spiritual consciousness. Now you think about it when you see people. To kill it is to show that the temperament has been affected by the evil thing and the Taoist heart is unstable.

To be more serious, if things continue like this, no, at the speed of your practice, within two or three years, I am afraid that you will soon have murderous thoughts in your heart, a fierce spirit will take away your body, your temper will change drastically, and you will become a person who thinks about people you meet. Kill the devil.

But now there are only three ways to solve this hidden danger. ’

Li Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Damn, I was scared for a long time. I thought I was going to have a schizophrenia like the old demon Qingyang. But it turned out that there were so many three ways to solve it... So tell me?

‘Xuantian Sword Intent, the first thing is to practice the Taiyin Sword Scripture, as long as you shout three times not to practice the Book of Transformation. After practicing the Sword Sutra, you have so much murderous intention that you can use it to refine the sword. It is better to say that the more you kill, the better. The more people you kill, the better it is for your physical and mental health. ’

Li Fan was speechless. To be honest, Beichen Sword Sect's definition of physical and mental health is very problematic. They are the ones who need a mental health maintenance system the most, right? With this guarantee, there would be no big problem, but he still wanted to try Guixu Nascent Soul. After all, the auxiliary effect of worshiping the moon and refreshing mood points was really great...

'Xuan Tian Sword Intent, you are such a stubborn donkey. Well, the second option is to find a place to practice in seclusion now, squat for thirty or fifty years, break through your Wuji Yuanying, and make a great progress in your soul. Naturally, one can suppress the cultivation of the Tao body and use the techniques of the Nascent Soul realm to slowly eliminate the karma of killing and calamity on one's body.

But be careful not to kill people indiscriminately during this period, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to control your concentration. ’

Damn it, you said it, but you didn’t say it. With the situation like a powder keg in the sect, is it possible for him to stay away from it and hide to practice?

‘Xuantian Sword Intention, there is only one way in the end. You can find a way to learn the dual cultivation technique and break Yuanyang. ’

…

…

…

Li Fan covered his face, alas... I can't guess, I really can't guess... To be honest, he thought he was already familiar with Xuantian's sword style, but he still couldn't guess...

"What the hell kind of solution is this? Are you just kidding me?"

‘Xuantian Sword Intent, who are you kidding! Aren’t you kid so obsessed with dual cultivation? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of it! But this time, this is really the only way to save your life.

It's a simple truth. You are not that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless genius. Now that you are involved in murder, you are naturally depressed. Moreover, you have been provoked by those pink skeletons for too long, and the evil fire attacks your heart. You are ready to move when you smell a woman's scent, right?

I see that your current Taoist heart is clearly unable to control your cultivation. Don't hold it in anymore, it will be more troublesome if you hold it in and problems will arise. Now go find a Taoist who is in the golden elixir realm and practice dual cultivation with her!

But remember, the main thing is to let your cultivation level pass. In this way, by losing 20 to 30% of his power, he can suppress his Tao body and stabilize his Tao mind. You must never feed off other people’s energy again! Otherwise it will really explode, do you understand?

Of course, I have little experience with this inferior cultivation method. I only heard it from my friends, so I can’t give you detailed advice. By the way, I heard that there is a red envelope that you can get, but I don’t know if it’s true...’

"Wow! What kind of crooked friend are you! What a bad idea! Isn't it just asking me to reverse engineer someone else's furnace!"

Li Fan is really going crazy. Why do so many damn things suddenly come together! It’s simply life-threatening!

What's more, it's so sudden. Where can I find someone to do double cultivation? Should he immediately fly his sword to the South China Sea to find Island Master Mo for help? ?

"Hey, fellow Taoist, stop talking to yourself. Do you want to go to the city? Take out the Taoist ultimatum and collect twenty taxes from the city."

At this moment, they were queuing up to the city gate and took a look at the gate tower opening to Xiamen above their heads. So Li Fan had no choice but to calm down, suppress the tangle in his heart, and handed the ultimatum to the city gate officials for inspection.

Fortunately, there are many disciples in Mozhu Mountain, and there is no mention of cultivation in the Taoist certificate. Qing Tingsou said before that Li Fan and the Li family look similar. In order to avoid attracting attention, don't get involved in any fights that you don't want to do. , Li Fan had already changed into an ordinary appearance in advance. Naturally, the guards and officials who guarded the gate could not see through his magic and realm. They checked that the document was correct and collected the copper coins before letting him go.

After entering the city, the most urgent thing was not to find the temple master, and certainly not to find the Taoist couple!

Li Fan was going to find a random passerby and ask Guangzhaifang where to go. He would complete the tasks one by one, especially the unreliable ones, so he would put them aside first.

"Guangzhaifang?" The old man who was pulled by Li Fan to ask for directions frowned and looked at him, looking at the straw sandals on his feet. "You are a wild Taoist, why do you want to go to a neighborhood where nobles gather?"

Li Fanhan, why are you all from Chaoyang District so alert? This time you have to change your boots to trigger the plot or something...

However, Li Fan rolled his eyes and made it up casually, "Pindao was just entrusted by a friend to deliver a letter home. I heard that he lives near Guangzhaifang. It was also the first time for Pindao to come to Changsicheng and disturb his father-in-law's drinking. Yes, please give me some directions."

As he said this, he took out more than a dozen copper coins of wine money and stuffed it into him.

The old man still looked at him with some suspicion, but after flipping the money in his hand, for the sake of the money for the drink, he still pointed behind him and said by the way, "It's easy to find, this street goes all the way north. At the end of the road, there is the first square in front of the north gate. But a Taoist priest like you can't get in. If the imperial guards see it, they will be beaten.

Your friend must be a member of aristocratic family who lives there. If you want to deliver a letter, just go to Dongshi and wait for the steward of his family who comes out to purchase, or find a postman and pay them two small coins to ask them to deliver the letter. . Which mansion is your friend from? "

Li Fan was overjoyed and happened to ask, "My friend's surname is Li, and his family is probably from a wealthy family. I heard that his father's name is Li Chun, and he is probably an official in the imperial court. Have I ever heard of him?"

"Li Chun, he is an official and quite rich..." The old man thought for a moment and spread his hands, "I've never heard of it. There are so many people named Li in Changsi City. If you pour a basin of water, two or three people will be splashed. Since he is an official and lives in Guangzhaifang, do you know what rank he is, what position he holds, and which yamen he works in?"

"Ah... I don't know," Li Fanhan said. Li Chun couldn't ask, and Zheng Mingzhu probably couldn't find it either. However, if these families all look the same and are misunderstood... "Then have you heard of Li You? Oh? Probably too young, what about the Guo family? Maybe they are his in-laws and friends..."

"Guo family? Guo..." The old man was stunned, and his expression changed drastically, "Guo family! Guo family, that Li family! Don't you recognize it?"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and watched the old man turn around and run away, clearly recognizing him. There is no need to ask people who are embarrassment. Seeing this reaction, he was almost convinced.

So Li Fan put on his boots and his epic skin again, took out the curtain hat he bought from Xianyi Pavilion and put it on. The soap gauze covering the curtain hat was made by "Ignorance Face" and hung straight from the eaves to the neck. Ministry, cover your face.

He slapped the invisibility charm and was fully prepared, then headed straight north, passing through the busy streets like a wisp of smoke and dust, with the traffic of cars and horses coming and going, but no one seemed to notice his presence. .

And Li Fan didn't care at all about the scenery on both sides. He just kept walking all the way and hurriedly arrived at the north city wall. From a distance, he saw the gate wall of the Zhulou City Square and the plaque on the Golden Gate guarded by the imperial guards. , two big characters.

But there is no need to continue to sneak in, and there is no need to look for any Xuanfu Sect.

Because to the north of Guangzhai Square is the wall of Liqiu Palace with the golden roof of Purple Palace.

To the west of Guangzhaifang, he couldn't even take 350 steps, and there was another towering green wall blocking his way.

Looking up, the green wall was actually five feet high, which was shorter than the palace wall of Li Qiu Palace.

But when Li Fan looked up at the corner of the wall, he felt that even the blue sky above his head was blocked by the wall.

On the other side of the wall is the East Palace of Prince Li.
