Chapter 382 Returning with the Snake

Li Yuanjiao carried the half-dead Hook Snake and flew away from the south bank of the salty lake at Xuanyue Gate, offering the [Xuanwen Bottle]. Water mist filled the air everywhere, and the Hook Snake was still squeaking and whining, with words begging for mercy.

The body of the hooked snake was so huge that it could not be covered by the Xuanwei bottle. It was quite conspicuous. Li Yuanjiao carried the hooked snake out to the shore and had to frown.

‘The deserted mountain temple is very conspicuous... This monster is astonishingly heavy. Not to mention consuming mana, it is really not good to show off in the market. ’

He quickly changed direction and flew north for a short while, intending to go all the way upstream from the Salt Lake, follow the river from the safest Xiuyue Sect territory, and then return from Xu State to the north bank of Wangyue Lake.

‘The travel notes left by Uncle Ling once recorded that the surging river was of great benefit to the monks practicing [The Vast Sea], so I happened to go and take a look. ’

Li Yuanjiao's [Jinglong King] is a dragon snake in the lake. As soon as he dives into the lake and lifts it up with the help of water power, the weight of the hooked snake in his hand suddenly becomes lighter.

He first summoned a few crab monsters and asked about the distribution of monsters at the bottom of the lake and where the kings were. Then he planned the route and dragged the hook snake forward slowly, thinking about what Kong Tingyun had just meant:

‘I need help... Xuanyuemen is also a good helper. I don’t know how strong Chang Xi is, but he seems to have a backer. This is a good opportunity. ’

'It's a pity that I don't have a capable monk in my family. Otherwise, if the matter is settled, it will be much more comfortable, and there will also be a foreign aid to spy on Shangyue. ’

Li Yuanjiao thought to himself:

‘I wonder if it’s what Master Chang Xi means… and whose chess player he is. ’

He was thinking to himself, ignoring the nagging of the monster in his hand. Seeing Li Yuanjiao being so cautious, the hooked snake could no longer beg for help. It was silent for a long time and sighed:

"The monsters all say that the land is dangerous, but I still don't believe it. If I covet spiritual things, I will be turned into snake soup!"

Li Yuanjiao glanced at it and asked:

"What kind of immortal are you?"

Hook Snake said:

"The people in the Demon Palace say it's [Chao Hanyu]. I don't know what the superiors call it. The feathered snake that the little demon cultivates is a dragon, and the immortal cultivates it as a dragon. I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to eat... If you want to eat it, I'll find a dragon for the immortal." Here comes the snake…”

Li Yuanjiao listened slowly, walking on the river bed, and said leisurely:

"Fellow Taoist, you are overthinking. My home is not a demon cave and dragon palace. It has no method to restrain the spirit. It is not a Buddhist temple. I don't know how to refine the demon nature. How can I trust you? As soon as I let go of this, you will go away immediately. .”

Hook Snake understood clearly in his heart and curled up dejectedly.

Li Yuanjiao took it seriously and thought to himself:

'Although this hooked snake seems to be subdued by us in just a few moves, in fact, 70% to 80% of it is done with the help of external force. Not to mention the [Green Ruler Sword] and [Xuanwen Bottle] are foundation-building magic weapons, Kong Tingyun's Jinshan and Orb must also be It wasn't much worse, and with that big formation, Hook Snake was suppressed. ’

He looked at the forked bare tail of the hooked snake. Kong Tingyun cut off the hook, which made it look very ugly. :

'Senior Bai Ronghu doesn't know if he is under that tree... Don't rush to sacrifice the snake demon now, you can go and ask first. ’

Along the way, Li Yuanjiao saw that the river was dark and bright again, and he bumped into monster palaces several times, with large and small shell sand-made balconies and white caves, all very prosperous.

However, two foundation-building demon generals were cruising the territory and happened to bump into Li Yuanjiao, who was dragging the hook snake on his way. They were too frightened to raise their heads and hurried away.

However, Li Yuanjiao did not see the turbulent waves of the river that Li Xuanling mentioned and gained any spiritual enlightenment. The rivers were very wide, wide and long, and there should be many treasures there.

All the way to the boundary of Xiuyue Sect, Li Yuanjiao came out of the water with a hooked snake. Standing in front of him was a monk in white clothes with a sword behind him. He seemed to be calculating something. He was disturbed by Li Yuanjiao and did not change his expression. He said: :

"Nianyi of the Xiuyue Sect, I have met my senior. Congratulations to my senior for capturing the demon general."

Although this young man was just a qi-training monk, Li Yuanjiao did not dare to neglect and said softly:

"I borrowed money from your noble sect to disturb fellow Taoists."

Nian Yi nodded and picked up a trace of spiritual energy in the world. He half-opened and half-closed his eyes and continued to calculate.

As Li Yuanjiao went south, he saw that the territory of Xu State was peaceful. It was completely different from the chaos many years ago. There were no traces of demonic cultivators. The cultivators flying past on the road were generous and seemed unprepared.

The few casual cultivators he bumped into were also polite and congratulated him on catching the big demon.

"As expected of the Xiuyue Immortal Sect, it is really very different."

Li Yuanjiao crossed all the way and landed back on Wangyue Lake. Several Li family qi practitioners rushed to meet him. Li Xuanxuan, the leader, looked relieved and said very relaxedly:

"Jiao'er has returned safely!"

He gained a lot from this trip. Li Yuanjiao laughed and put the hooked snake in his hand on the shore. He strengthened several restrictions. Immediately, monks from the Li family rushed forward, sealing seals, setting up formations, and calculating the shackles and nails to seal the monster. .

When several people returned to the mountain, Li Yuanjiao laid out what they had obtained this time, and Li Qinghong and others suddenly became happy.

[Xuanwen Bottle] and [Xuanyang Lihuo] are both good things, and he even got a foundation-building snake demon. Li Qinghong picked up this foundation-building magic weapon [Xuanwei Bottle] and couldn't put it down. He only had some regrets:

'It's a pity that I named my brother first. The dignified foundation-building instrument sounds like a fetal breath gas bottle, so I have to use it like this...'

Several people looked at the two treasures in exchange several times. An old man came down and looked like he was in his nineties. He was extremely old and bowed to these people.

Li Qinghong quickly supported him, and Li Xuanxuan introduced:

"This is Qian, a casual cultivator. He is ninety-eight years old now."

Handing the three storage bags to the old man's hands, Li Xuanxuan said:

"As agreed before, please invite me, old man."

Old Man Qian nodded, picked up the storage bag, put his spiritual sense into it, and poured out a piece, with crystal treasures all over the floor.

Old Man Qian himself breathed a sigh of relief, took out a second storage bag, and poured out another spiritual object. Without any countermeasures, Li Xuanxuan nodded and handed over a spiritual stone, and a smile appeared on the old man's face.

Li Yuanjiao sat upright, squinting slightly, watching Old Man Qian open the storage bag of the demon cultivator and his daughter, and then picked up the third storage bag, which was the item of the bold demon cultivator. It was black and translucent, and looked quite... Not vulgar.

Only then did Old Man Qian's spiritual sense penetrate into it, and a burst of black energy suddenly arose. Li Yuanjiao had already expected it and had already pinched out the magic resistance, but Old Man Qian only had time to scream, and it exploded into a pool of blood with a bang.

Li Xuanxuan closed his spell and sent the blood out of the cave along with the red and white broken bones and flesh, and said warmly:

"Please come in, Mr. Ding."

Li Yuanjiao said softly:

"It seems to be a witchcraft blood technique, laid down by the foundation-building monks. It can corrode spiritual consciousness and the body. No wonder the fetal breath cannot be sustained for a moment."

Li Qinghong on the side shook his head lowly and asked:

"How much pension?"

"Three spiritual stones, sent to his legitimate son, will fill his position on the peak."

While the two were talking, another old man came up from below, with a cheerful face, and he generously extended his hands to the three of them. His spiritual sense penetrated into it, and the black and delicate brocade bag finally spit out a bunch of items.

Old man Ding was slightly startled and said in mourning:

"Isn't there witchcraft?"

After saying this, Li Xuanxuan handed over a bag of spiritual rice. Two clan soldiers had already led him down. Li Qinghong frowned and Li Xuanxuan said:

"The eldest son of old man Sanxiu Ding has attacked the miscellaneous energy twice and failed. He is just waiting for a pill to give him a try."

Li Yuanjiao has already sorted out many items. Putting aside the demonic cultivation techniques and elixirs, he has put all the spiritual objects and magic tools for practicing fetal breath into one of the storage bags.

Of the remaining fifty-two spirit stones, the decisive demonic cultivator took up most of them. Li Yuanjiao waved his hand and put them all into the warehouse. He looked at the remaining items over and over again, but found that they were nothing good.

"After you advance to foundation building, it will be difficult for these things to help you!"

Li Yuanjiao shook his head, went down to divide them all, and said secretly:

‘Now that the foundation has been established, and the [Xuanwen Bottle] is hidden, I am not afraid of being discovered by the pig demon. I can finally enter the outskirts of Dali Mountain to visit the senior Bai Ronghu. ’

…

East Fire Cave Sky.

The highest one in the East Fire Cave is Lihuo Peak. The formation above is still running, with golden light and countless mysterious runes flowing up and down. The monks from various sects and sects are gathered around, but there is silence.

"attack!"

Chi Zhiyun in the middle was wearing a gleaming green Taoist robe, and the long sword in his hand was flowing with white light. He gave an order casually, and the disciples of the three sects and seven sects below were killed one after another. They each used spells and activated their magic weapons to move toward the big formation. Hit it.

This large formation was already dilapidated, and there were many foundation-building monks present. It soon began to teeter on the edge, and it persisted for another half an hour before it emitted a dazzling golden light and suddenly melted away.

A group of monks cheered and were about to swarm in, but a man flew out of the formation with a red chilong mask on his face and a long spear in his hand. He had a tall figure and laughed loudly:

"Thank you all fellow Taoists for breaking the formation for me, Mr. Chu. [Dongli Daozang], I, Chu Yi, will accept it with a smile!"

He spoke politely, and the sarcasm in his words was clearly revealed. After speaking, he took out a talisman in his hand, and someone from below suddenly shouted in unison:

"Zifu Talisman [Void Yuan Escape Talisman]!"

Chu Yi laughed loudly, and with the help of the talisman, he escaped into Taixu and disappeared.

The monks became angry as if they were being played, but they all wondered why the Zifu monks didn't stop him. Chi Zhiyun, who was in the middle, also had an angry face on the surface, but secretly laughed sarcastically after the man left.

‘Why didn’t the real person take action? If Yuan Yuan and Qiu Shui try to intercept Daozang, not to mention offending Luoxia Mountain, how can they stop him? It would be considered a good thing to lose face severely or to be stepped on and leave... If the True Lord of Luoxia Mountain does not give face, even beating the True Lord to death on the spot will not be considered an offence...'

He flew up on the wind and sent people in according to the positions that had been divided among the three sects and seven gates one by one. He landed on the top of the mountain, looked at the empty attic, and felt a little emotional in his heart:

'Dongli Sect...Dongli Donghuo, the two top disciples of the Zifu...eventually ended up with the death of their sect, and the Taoist lineage merged into Luoxia...'

The two masters Yuan Yuan and Qiu Shui watched him leave in great emptiness, but neither of them took action. They just watched him go away silently. The two did not speak for a long time until there were fewer and fewer people in the cave.

"okay."

The elements felt that the fluctuations in Taixu gradually disappeared, and then they broke through Taixu and stepped into the Donghuo Cave. Master Qiu Shui also followed him into the cave and said warmly:

"As expected of his golden nature, in just three years, Chu Yi is almost unable to hold on any longer...Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he will explode and die soon."

The elements responded softly, and looking up, the entire cave sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, with dark brilliance floating around, and almost no human figures.

The colors in the East Fire Cave were getting darker and darker. The disciples of each sect made a lot of money and withdrew one by one. Only the Zifu of the two Immortal Sects were left standing in the air, looking at the gray world below. .

"Chu Yi took Dongli Daozang away."

The real elemental master stood in the air with a calm tone. The golden spring water under his feet kept gushing out. It should have been shining with golden light, but it seemed dim in the dim sky and earth.

"It's also pitiful."

Master Qiu Shui stood quietly on the side and said something casually, but Yuan Yuan smiled sarcastically and whispered:

"I pity you for your turn, the True Lord. Cui Mu lost the bet, made the wrong move in the chess game, and ruined the Mingyang Taoist lineage. Such an ending is deserved."

Qiu Shui's clothes fluttered and he said softly:

"Luoxia Mountain has defiled Mingyang for five hundred years, and now it has been able to obtain the Donghuo Cave Heaven. If it is defiled for another five hundred years, perhaps the ancient Wei Huangtian will fall. By then, Luoxia Mountain will have one more true king... Even an immortal."

"Everyone in the country is watching helplessly, no one will take care of it..."

After listening to her words, Master Yuan Yue had a strange expression on his face. He played with the small golden seal in his hand and said with a smile:

"You, Jin Yu, are the most attentive. Back then, you were the leader of Luoxia Sect, but now you are sowing discord. You have two faces, and you are making people evil."

"Niaoxiao!"

Master Qiu Shui sighed, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face, and replied:

"No matter the immortal or mortal, the appearance of having to compromise is not pleasing to the eye...Don't be too serious."

Master Elemental shook his head and replied:

"How come I don't know? I'll just tell you this."

Master Qiu Shui's slender hands shook slightly, and the golden spring water on the ground flowed into her hands. She said softly:

"You and I don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Go north to Xiuyue and Lotus Temple. The rest is their business."

"Once this is completed, the yang and the yin between heaven and earth will level off, which will happen to be the leveling atmosphere in Xuanzhong. It will be closer to the time when Shangyuan will break through. You and I will have a lot to do."

The Master of Elements stood with his hands behind his back, letting her collect the spiritual water, and replied:

"Bu Zi went to the East China Sea, and Yuan Xiu went to the southern Xinjiang. Yuan Wu was focused on his opportunity. He said anything to trouble his junior brother, and said it nicely. How many Zifu spiritual weapons did Yuan Wu Peak refine? I didn't see him vomiting. Something is coming.”

"I am the only one who has lost my way and has a life of hard work, running around here and there every day."

Master Qiu Shui smiled slightly and said:

"How can I not benefit from you!"

Elemental's face showed disgust and he replied:

"I dare to say this in the Donghuo Cave. There are a few people in the Qingchi Cave who are used to calling people around. Whether it's good or not is another matter, but this matter is not very clean."

Thanks to a pot of old wine and the leader of Shenxi~

(This is even more endless and cannot be added at all...)

The leader who really wanted to write a book on the esoteric religion couldn't help but come up with ideas.

(I have to wait for the extra chapter, I'm stuck writing it.)
