Chapter 689 The Old Man’s Words (15th supplement)

General Li Ximing took a look and saw that Wang Long was already putting away the book. Zhang Gui came over in two steps and picked up the book in a muffled voice. The two of them folded the thick book, and Zhang Gui whispered:

"Sure enough..."

The two looked at each other and seemed to have a tacit understanding. They stopped talking. Wang Long opened a purple-gold book underneath. Zhang Gui started writing and wrote on the book for a while. The purple-gold light flowed, and Zhang Gui said:

"...Well...the boundary between Jingzhou Wangyue Ze and present Wangyue Lake..."

He paused and whispered:

"Ximing shouldn't have practiced in another place for many years? This is a serious matter, so you must not hide it from me."

Li Ximing guessed that this thing should have been recorded in the book. The two people couldn't find him, so they wanted to make up for it privately. He had nothing to deceive, so he said bluntly:

"good."

Zhang Guifu wrote two more words and asked:

"Tao number?"

Li Ximing thought for a moment and replied:

"Zhao Jing."

Zhang Gui buried his head in writing, while Li Ximing put one hand on the storage bag, rummaged through it, took out two jade boxes from his sleeves, and said softly:

"I'd like to trouble you two to make this trip and prepare a small gift to express my gratitude."

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Zhang Gui kept holding his hands, raised his head and thanked him, then lowered his head to sketch. Wang Long took it tightly, nodded slightly, and replied:

"This is a matter of duty, fellow Taoist, I'm sorry."

Li Ximing saw that the two of them were familiar with each other, and it was obviously a matter of agreement. The jade box could not block spiritual consciousness. There was a [Dry Rock Ming Fruit] and a [Disha Cold Spring] gifted by Luken back then.

The two treasures were one of Tu De and the other of evil spirit, both of which had something to do with the underworld. They were already the best things he could take out after rummaging through his storage bag for a long time:

"In the past, no one had ever said anything about the underworld coming to take names. Fortunately, seeing Wang Long's appearance, these two things are barely qualified and will not offend the two of them."

As soon as he thought about it, Zhang Gui had already finished sketching this end. He put away the pen as big as a hammer and cupped his hand and replied:

"The name registration has been completed. I'm sorry to disturb you fellow Taoist. My magical power will be achieved and you will be free for five hundred years. When your Taoist life is about to end and you want to ascend to the enlightened position, I will still come and tell you more about it then."

Wang Long picked up the book, and the two of them broke through the void, got into the black hole and boundless space, and returned to the underworld.

Li Ximing waited for a moment and scanned the sky with his eyebrows to make sure there was no one around, but he couldn't make up his mind:

"Yang Tianya has a background in the underworld. He kept his breakthrough secret. He obviously had a plan. He sent two people to let me see it. It seemed like he was showing goodwill."

"On the other end...my name is not on the list. The two dispatchers made up for it themselves. Was it the person behind the Yang family who ordered it? His status is not low, I'm afraid he is helping me."

In comparison, the two precious medicines just now seemed insignificant. Li Ximing put aside his doubts and secretly calculated:

"When I established the Zi Mansion, I wanted to advertise it to everyone. I'm afraid I can't hide it..."

"But someone like me who dedicated my family's efforts to build the Purple Mansion is not as good as the Dragon Slaying Jian alone, relying entirely on myself. Secondly, it is not as good as an ordinary immortal sect with the support of the Purple Mansion behind me. I'm afraid it's not a matter of words to tell everyone this. .”

He thought for a moment and settled in his mind:

"First I visited the seniors Chang Xi, Chu Ting, and Jun Jian to express my gratitude, and then I advertised to various sects. Firstly, it shows that I attach great importance to you, and secondly...it's also easy to hear if there are any taboos."

Li Ximing then pressed the cloud, passed through Taixu, and went all the way to the Xiao family.

"Too Xu."

This was Li Ximing's first time traveling through Taixu. He used his magical power to cover his body, holding on to the brilliance, and flew away silently. Looking up, he saw pitch black, rising and falling, ups and downs.

Taixu is Qi, which is closely related to the spirit. It is not flat, but has high and low, far and near. If the spirit is strong here, there will be a high mountain in Taixu. If the spirit is thin here for thousands of miles, across this place, there will be a mountain. It's just a matter of one step in Taixu.

As soon as Li Ximing mastered his magical powers, he looked into Taixu and understood immediately.

The reason why Zifu can travel thousands of miles in an instant is that it can cross thousands of miles in one step by following the path of the barren spiritual energy in Taixu. If the entire area is extremely rich in spiritual energy, it would be better to travel through Taixu and harness the magical power.

Of course...if you encounter a place without spiritual power, you won't be able to find this place in Taixu, so how can you settle down?

Li Ximing shuttled through Taixu for a moment, following a few shortcuts, but within a few dozen breaths he had reached the boundary of Mount Youyou. Surprisingly, this place was no longer pitch black, but instead there were circles of blue, like water waves, radiating across the sky. .

He activated his magical power, the light golden color in his pupils lit up, and he used his pupil technique to take a closer look:

"It turns out it's the formation... The Xiao family now has the Zifu Formation to separate Taixu. It's clearly displayed in Taixu. It's a demonstration. It's no longer the story of Bu Zi walking through the formation to threaten Xiao Guitu..."

His own family received the same treatment back then, but Bu Zi had no idea of ​​seeing Xianjian and did not get any benefits. Li Ximing was moved by this and secretly thought about the cost.

"If you have the chance, you must ask Senior Chuting. If you have this formation at home, you will be much safer."

Only then did he stop. A ray of white light had already penetrated from the array and landed in front of him. It was hazy, and the old man's calm and authoritative voice came from the center:

"Which fellow Taoist is here? Please join the battle and talk."

Li Ximing didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used his magical power to suppress the bright light all the way here. He only nodded slightly, and as the white light fell into the formation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw the cold mist lingering, the peak rising, two cliffs standing opposite each other, rugged pines and cypresses, the cold water of the cold pool below, a small boat lying quietly on the pool, and an old man fishing vaguely on the boat.

There was still snow at this moment, and it was falling all over the ground. Li Ximing stood still on the shore, bowed, and replied softly:

"Junior Zhaojing and Li Ximing have met a real person!"

There was just a soft "crunch" sound, and the white jade-like fishing rod drooped, alerting the things underneath, and they slyly swung away and escaped. For a moment, the water rippled and the ice cracked softly.

The old man quietly put down the fishing rod and said softly:

"It turns out it's Zhaojing Zhenren. I thought it was Chengyan. I was negligent. Please come on board."

Li Ximing took a light step, and Mingguang appeared in a trance, and his figure appeared on the boat. Xiao Chuting then set up the desk, placed two jade cups, and placed the emerald green jade pot on top.

Waiting for Li Ximing to sit down, Xiao Chuting put away the jade pot, took another pot, poured it for Li Ximing, and said with a smile:

"Taste it."

Li Ximing drank tea first.

The taste of this tea is light, and its aura can only be regarded as average. It is really not worthy of Xiao Chuting's status. Li Ximing was a little confused, but the old man said:

"When Li Tongya came to Guanyunfeng in the past, I offered him this cup of [Transparent Fruit Leaf Tea]. He thought it was noble and didn't dare to drink more."

"Nowadays, this kind of tea is common among nobles."

Of course Li Ximing accepted his words and said respectfully:

"Senior's kindness has been borne in my heart by the whole family and I will never forget it. Now that I have succeeded in making a breakthrough by luck, I am the first one to come looking for senior. I thought that senior was in Beihai, but now it is just the right time."

"Okay, the Beihai matter has been settled long ago."

Xiao Chuting praised, nodded and smiled:

"I accept your offer. It's best to visit Si Boxiu first. He likes to abide by the rules and saves face. If you don't give him face, the old-fashioned guy won't be satisfied even if you don't say anything."

Li Ximing planned to meet Tu Longjian for the second time, and Chang Xi for the third time. Si Boxiu was put at the end of the queue. When he heard this, his heart tightened and he whispered:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Xiao Chuting said warmly:

"You are able to get through the Zifu so quickly, and your character is not bad. It's just that Si Boxiu is about to end his life. It is the most stressful time. You should stabilize this person first. If you don't go to see him, you will see me, an outsider. , what should he think?"

"Fortunately, you didn't advertise to others after your breakthrough, and you can't even count them. Just now you came through under the pressure of the gods. Si Boxiu should still be worried about your success. Although he has the Secret Code of Dongli, you are convinced. Tian Shi, he didn’t really cultivate Ming Yang himself, so it’s hard to estimate.”

Li Ximing nodded thoughtfully and whispered:

"Dongli Secret Notes?"

"good."

Xiao Chuting sipped her tea and said softly:

"The Dongli Sect Cave Heaven was divided among the three sects, and so were the secrets inside. The Dongli Secret Notes recorded various anomalies in the Dao of Mingyang. As early as when you were building the foundation, Si Boxiu had already recognized your Dao Foundation and The technique is done.”

Hearing these words, Li Ximing's heart darkened. He originally had many different feelings about Si Boxiu's serious and mature image. After thanking him, Xiao Chuting said:

"You can't hide it for long if you break through. It's only a matter of time before you are discovered. It's better to advertise to other families as early as possible and advance to the immortal clan."

"When the sound of magical power spreads, all the families come to visit to congratulate them. You have organized the magical power ceremony, and then visit them one by one. The first three real people you meet during the visit are particularly important, so you should pay close attention."

Li Ximing wrote them down one by one, nodded solemnly, and Xiao Chuting continued:

"Slaying the Dragon King has gone to the South China Sea. You are not in a hurry to see him. He is now out of touch with everyone and wants to stay out of the matter. If you go to see him hastily, it will ruin other people's affairs. There is no need to leave a place for him. Just visit him privately. good."

"I can see Chang Xi, but his longevity is shorter than that of Si Boxiu. He is the only one in the Purple Mansion of Xuanyue Sect. His decline only happened in a few years. Maybe even the mountain sect cannot be saved."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, seemed to be observing Li Ximing's expression, and said softly:

"Just wait and see. If the friendship is not deep and the relationship is broken off early, there is no need to rush to see him. He should be in a hurry to come to see you."

Li Ximing suddenly realized that his family knew nothing about the affairs of the Zi Mansion. After all, Xiao Chuting knew this well. Without the guidance of the old man, many things would have been missed.

"If you don't know these key points, you will be manipulated by others."

He looked solemn, bowed politely, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Zhaojing, for your advice!"

Xiao Chuting smiled, with a gentle look:

"With you like this, my junior has finally got his wish! He has lived a life of hardship and treats people sincerely, but he is often bullied by others. To have a disciple like you is a blessing in disguise!"

Xiao Yuansi's Purple Ming Pill and Li Ximing remembered it in their hearts and nodded gently. Xiao Chuting said softly:

"Go and settle the affairs at home and tell everyone that Yuan Si will go with me."

The old man's eyes were fixed on Li Ximing, and when he saw that his eyes were obviously moving when he heard "Finish the family affairs," the young man immediately nodded, said goodbye in a low voice, and left through Taixu.

Xiao Chuting put away the jade cup alone and pondered secretly:

"He also knows how to come to see me first. It can be seen from his appearance that he doesn't know the adult behind him..."

He picked up the jade pole again and started fishing in the cold pool. The cold snow was falling. Xiao Chuting fell into deep contemplation, staring at the pool without saying a word.

…

Li Ximing left the mountain, Wushan's purple flames had dimmed slightly, and the already fragile formation suddenly moved. A young man held an order and rode the thunder down. He was wearing armor, stepping on the thunder light, and his eyes were like paint. It was Li Ximing. Accepted.

Behind him was another middle-aged man, dressed in white, with a gun behind him. He was in the early stages of foundation building and looked cautious. He fell into the formation together, and the purple flames burned their faces so much that they hurt.

"Uncle Siwei clan."

Li Cheng glanced twice and whispered:

"The purple flames here are scorching hot. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the old man to come in. You stay outside and take good care of him. I'll look for uncle's traces."

This man in white is none other than An Siwei! More than ten years have passed, and he has completed the foundation building. His expression is the same as before, he nods and retreats, riding the wind away.

Li Cheng only looked for the top of the mountain. The jade pillars collapsed and the ground was full of cracks. It was actually filled with gardenia trees, and white flowers rolled all over the ground and flew to the feet of his boots.

He looked carefully, but there was no trace of Li Ximing, not even a Taoist robe. There were only two piles of burned jade powder under the ground.

Li Cheng used the thunder light to resist the purple flames, walked closer, observed carefully, and thought secretly in his heart:

"The head of the family once told me that as long as the master has a vision, the success or failure of finding no trace on the mountain must be kept secret... He is not at home now, so I still need to take action."

"In the past few years...the harassment and conspiracy of the three secret sects of Xiaoshi Mountain, Boring Gold Gate, and Jiangbei Demon Cultivator have become more and more blatant. The sky is amazing at the moment, and there will be no peaceful life in the future. We still need to plan carefully,"

He picked a gardenia and put it in the jade box and put it away. He immediately rode the wind and left, all the way to the outside of the formation. Li Xuanxuan was waiting here with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Li Cheng step forward, he whispered: :

"how?"

Li Cheng paused and replied softly:

"Zi Yan was so fierce that he didn't see it clearly and was quickly forced to withdraw."

In his heart, Li Xuanxuan didn't really believe that Li Ximing could become the Zifu. He just had a little hope in his heart and couldn't bear to wipe it away. He lowered his head silently and said in a clear voice:

"What do Ming Gong and Bai Yuan say?"

Li Chenggong said:

"Sister, she sent a message. The demon cultivators in Hanyun Peak didn't know why. They were frightened by the strange phenomena in the sky and scattered many of them."

"You should have no worries these days, but the master of the house is still fighting demons in the East China Sea, so you need to watch more closely. The few sects in Xiaoshi Mountain are not ordinary casual cultivators, and they may even come to the lake."

"good."

Seeing that he was confident, Li Xuanxuan quickly retreated. Li Cheng looked at the sky and whispered:

"Most of Wangyue Lake has been covered by colorful clouds. It is impossible for the three sects and seven sects not to know about it. There is also news within the sect. Let's wait for the letter."
