This day.
Misty.
Zhou Yi saw the city wall in the distance, with the word "Shan City" written on the door.
The soldier on duty had just opened the city gate and saw an old man with a white beard walking over carrying a medicine box.
"Heavenly Emperor is on top."
The soldier asked, "Where did the old gentleman come from?"
"The poor Daoist practices in Wuliang Mountain Profound Mystery Temple, this is Daoist Certificate."
Zhou Yi took out Daoist Certificate from the cuff, which was of course transformed by illusion.
Since Celestial Court took charge of Shenzhou, the Daoist Certificate, road guide and other documents of various countries have been unified, which greatly facilitates communication.
The imperial court strictly controlled the movement of people, and there were no roads leading people to wander around. The local government had the power to arrest and interrogate people. Therefore, Zhou Yi goes out as a Daoist priest or monk. As long as you have Daoist Certificate, you can travel with Fayun.
"It turns out to be Master Xuan Yi."
The soldiers bowed and saluted. "Please come into the city. Our county magistrate admires Daoism and there is no need to pay for meals in the city."
Zhou Yi said in surprise, "With such a good thing, aren't you afraid that someone will eat and drink in the dark?"
The soldier said, "There is the Heavenly Emperor true god above, and there is the land City God below. The brilliant god monitors all directions, and those who cheat to eat or drink will automatically reveal themselves."
"That makes sense."
A strange color flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. Mortals in other realms also worshiped Heavenly Emperor and Celestial Court, but unlike Shan City, the common people hung at the edge.
I don't know whether I know that Celestial Court exists, or I believe that Celestial Court exists!
Zhou Yi entered the city, counted with his fingers as usual, and immediately found a way to quickly gain merit.
From the east of the city to the west of the city, from the south of the city to the north of the city, until sunset, we came to a restaurant to taste local specialties.
"One more dime of karma!"
Zhou Yi picked up a snack called plum blossom cake and tasted it carefully. There were a few more ingredients in it, and his mouth was filled with the cold fragrance of plum blossoms.
"Not bad."
Having lived for more than 8,000 years and eating across two continents, he has long since become a gourmet connoisseur. He has not come across a pastry that Zhou Yi can say is good only once in more than ten years.
At this time.
Three more guests walked in swaggeringly.
The waiter hurried over to greet you, "Welcome, sir, what do you want to eat?"
The guest glanced at the restaurant and did not take a seat. Instead, he took out a seal from his arms with the official seal on it.
"I am from the yamen, and I was ordered to come to the street for an unannounced visit. The county magistrate has made a rule before that you must say Heavenly Emperor before entering. Have you agreed?"
"This, this, this..."
The waiter looked at the seal and turned pale. "I usually talk about it when the food is served."
Yamen Runner said, "It's too late then. The store will be closed for three days according to the rules."
The shopkeeper came over quickly and kept bending down. "Excuse me, Mr. Cha! I'm sorry! He just came from the country and doesn't understand the rules of the city. He must be easy to teach."
"It's late."
Yamen Runner took out the iron ruler from his waist and pretended to drive away the guests, but suddenly there was a piece of broken silver in his hand.
After weighing the weight, Yamen Runner said, "If it's his first offense, then he will be banned for two days!"
The shopkeeper's face showed bitterness, and he had no choice but to take out two more broken pieces of silver and stuff them into Yamen Runner's hands. "Please come inside and prepare a banquet for you."
"That's right."
Yamen Runner waved his hand and went upstairs with two helpers.
Zhou Yi found it quite interesting. It was not about Yamen Runner asking for money. His own method of sending money and collecting money was infinitely better than this.
What I am interested in is asking for the reason, which is usually the excuse of patrolling, unsanitary, easy water leakage, etc. This is the first time I have lived for thousands of years to see Lao Shizi Heavenly Emperor.
"Come here, waiter."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "Why do you always say that Heavenly Emperor is the best?"
"My guest, this is a rule set by the county magistrate."
The waiter said with a sad face, "The county magistrate stipulates that any greeting or greeting must be preceded by the four characters Heavenly Emperor, otherwise we will be arrested and slapped with a slap in the face."
Zhou Yi asked, "Is there no reason?"
"It is said to ward off evil spirits and bring good weather."
The waiter thought carefully and said, "That's true. I heard from outsiders that demons often harm people. This has never happened in Shan County, and it has always been a good year."
"That's really helpful."
Zhou Yi was amazed and became somewhat interested in the county magistrate whom he had never met.
Celestial Court requires a large amount of incense to maintain Orthodox God's practice, so if there is a lot of incense enshrined in the land, it will naturally be taken care of. The county magistrate obviously knew about this and could not explain it to the people, so he imposed the rules.
It seems arrogant and unreasonable, but it is actually very beneficial!
Had a meal.
Zhou Yi was walking on the street with a medicine box on his back. As expected, as the waiter said, people always said "Heavenly Emperor is on top" before greeting him.
It sounds particularly awkward, as if I'm back to Buddha Province.
At the gate of the county government office.
Zhou Yi went in alone. The officer on duty turned a deaf ear and went to the Houya study room to see the county magistrate.
"He turned out to be a golden elixir monk? Is Cultivation World so confused now? The dignified True Lord came to the mortal world to be a seventh-grade county magistrate!"
The county magistrate was checking the papers, flipping through them, and giving instructions very quickly. When encountering a case with insufficient evidence, you will know the reason by counting with your fingers and write down the case process.
More than a dozen pieces of Zhuangzhi were sorted out in a matter of seconds.
"Go and do some merit."
The county magistrate made a magic trick and turned into an old man with an ordinary face. He left the county office and went to the streets to do good deeds, not knowing that all his actions would be seen by outsiders.
"What a wonderful man!"
Zhou Yi clapped his hands and exclaimed, no wonder there were few criminals in the city, so this person was cleared, and glanced at the document to sign the signature.
Zhou Ziming.
"It turns out that he is a member of the same family. Pindao is looking for someone to help him, and he is promoted to manage a state. The merits he has accumulated are as much as Pindao's, and his karma will be reduced much faster!"
Monkey Mountain.
Eastern Divine Continent Demon Race One of the two holy places.
Since Sun Changsheng has been in seclusion all year round and does not accept Demon Race for service, his reputation is much worse than that of Green Cloud Mountain.
There is a Daoist temple on the top of the mountain called Longevity Temple, which worships the Patriarch of Immortality.
Yang Xuan kowtowed three times and bowed nine times in front of the statue, shouting, "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Sun Changsheng said, "Master did not die, but returned to the upper world. I, the old grandson, have transgressed by accepting disciples on behalf of the master, so you can only be a registered disciple of the Changsheng lineage."
"Senior brother brought me in. It's a great kindness."
Yang Xuan said, "If there is a chance to ascend in the future, junior brother will definitely pay homage to the master and pray to be listed on the door wall!"
"It's hard, it's hard!"
Sun Changsheng said, "If you don't even have spiritual roots, how can you talk about ascending to the immortal world? What's more, the skills taught by Master stop at Foundation Establishment. You need to explore on your own in the future."
While speaking, gently tap Yang Xuan's forehead to introduce the Qi and Blood Martial Arts practice.
"Thank you Master, thank you Senior Brother!"
Yang Xuan Sit cross-legged directly on the spot, and use the method of cultivation to mobilize the qi and blood in the body to flow in the meridians.
In just a moment, the power of Qi and blood was condensed.
Sun Changsheng praised, "Junior brother doesn't know anything about heel and foot, and he doesn't practice cultivation, but his energy and blood are as strong as a dragon!"
An hour later.
Yang Xuan circulates Qi and blood, condensing into red armor on the body surface.
The manifestation of Qi and blood of ordinary warriors is only a thin layer of gauze. Even if they practice to perfection, it cannot be turned into actual armor.
One day later.
Yang Xuan looked up to the sky and roared, and Dantian condensed blood pills in his heart.
The energy and blood blesses the arm, and the burst of power is several times greater. If you wrestle with the big demon, you can win with one hand.
Sun Changsheng said with a smile on his face, "Junior brother is gifted with extraordinary talent, which is perfect for the martial arts of Qi and Blood. The human body has Zhoutian Acupoints. It is not too late for you to gather them all first, and then explore the way out."
Yang Xuan stood up and kowtowed three times and nine times to Sun Changsheng.
"Thank you, senior brother. If you hadn't taught me the skills, I don't know if I would have been able to save my parents in this life."
"Brothers from the same sect, these things are too harsh."
Sun Changsheng smiled strangely, joining in the fun and said without thinking it was a big deal, "Why don't we let Lao Sun take action to rescue your parents, it's just a trivial matter."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "Let the junior brother solve it by himself first. If that doesn't work, I will definitely ask the senior brother for help."
Sun Changsheng nodded slightly, walked around Yang Xuan a few times, then sighed and shook his head.
"Master has taught you many times that when cultivating immortals, you should not be shy, you should never take action if you can borrow strength, and you should never challenge someone alone if you can surround them. Junior brother, you have such a bad temper!"
Yang Xuan's face twitched, and his impression of True Immortal in the sky was suddenly broken.
A few days later.
Yang Xuan refined the acupoint on his left leg, stepped down on it, and the ground cracked for more than ten feet.
One month later.
The acupoints on the limbs were refined, and bursts of thunder erupted from Yang Xuan's movements.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year passes.
Yang Xuan finally refined the acupoints between the eyebrows, and the Zhoutian acupoints were instantly connected. During the process of storing and circulating Qi and blood, a dull rolling sound could be heard.
A mysterious texture appears between the eyebrows, and wisps of memory inheritance appear in Spirit Soul.
Sun Changsheng appeared out of thin air and said, "Junior brother, try your strength again."
"Senior brother, I'm offended."
Yang Xuan's energy and blood were running, and he crashed into Sun Changsheng's body, still not even shaking his clothes.
"Drink!"
The sound was like thunder, texture appeared on Yang Xuan's body surface, and his figure quickly grew like a little giant.
Sun Changsheng said in surprise, "You can actually perform it on your own?"
Yang Xuan summoned Qi and blood according to the inheritance in his memory, and performed the method named Combat Skill. All the power was concentrated in his right fist, and he blasted past like a continuous wave.
With dozens of punches, the Daoist robe that was originally swaying in the wind began to tremble unnaturally.
"Not bad, not bad."
Sun Changsheng put his palms together and praised, "The poor Daoist stood still without applying Mana, but he was able to shake the corners of his clothes. This kind of strength is comparable to the golden elixir body cultivation!"
Yang Xuan was speechless for a moment, wondering whether the senior brother was praising or showing off.
The original pride of gaining powerful power disappeared in an instant. Compared with the peerless Human Immortal, the golden elixir was no different from an ant.
"Senior brother, I am now comparable to a golden elixir. Can I go and save my parents?"
"Not nearly enough."
Sun Changsheng shook his head and said, "Do you know your mother's life experience?"
Yang Xuan said, "My mother said that I was lucky enough to get the technique and have good spiritual roots. I cultivated myself to become Golden Core True Lord."
"Hehe, apart from Green Cloud Mountain, where is the real Rogue Cultivator among these Eastern Divine Continents? Occasionally there are a few, either with deep backgrounds or spies of Celestial Court!"
Sun Changsheng mentioned Celestial Court with disdain on his face. "Not only is your mother not Rogue Cultivator, but she has a great background and will even become the Lord of the Divine Continent in the future!"
Yang Xuan said in shock, "Lord of the Divine Continent, isn't that Heavenly Emperor?"
"It is Heavenly Emperor, but it is the next generation Heavenly Emperor."
Sun Changsheng said, "Your mother is the direct descendant of Heavenly Emperor. The exact number of generations is unclear. She is also the only Heavenly Spirit Root in the direct line of the royal family. Since the day she was born, there have been Orthodox God flattering her. In the future Celestial Court will have an empress!"
"..."
Yang Xuan No matter how much he guessed, he never imagined that his mother had such a big background.
Green Cloud Mountain Rogue Cultivator and Heavenly Emperor are as different as clouds and mud. It is even more unexpected that their mother would give up her noble status and live happily in the mountains with her father.
"Senior brother, since my mother is so noble, why did she encounter disaster?"
"Eastern Divine Continent, there is only one person who dares to touch your mother... no, three!"
Sun Changsheng said, "Pindao, Brother Niu, and Heavenly Emperor, the rest are true gods, and they dare not use demons to frame them."
Yang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Why?"
"There are many reasons for this."
Sun Changsheng said, "Looking on the bright side, maybe Heavenly Emperor dislikes your father, maybe your mother is engaged, or she could be taken back for discipline, etc."
Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Changsheng interrupted.
"This possibility is less than 100! If it was discipline, how could he kill your brother? No matter how far the bloodline is, no matter how low the talent is, he is still a descendant of Heavenly Emperor."
Yang Xuan said, "Brother, if you have any guesses, feel free to tell me!"
Sun Changsheng said, "There may be many bad things. For example, some weird magic methods can be used to seize the body and extend life in other ways. Divine Path's practice is inherently weird. By relying on incense, it may be better to change the body!"
Yang Xuan turned pale and bowed. "Senior brother, please help save my parents!"
"Don't worry."
Sun Changsheng said, "Pindao went to Great Yongjing City when you were practicing. Your parents are practicing in a blessed place. Apart from not being able to go out, it's even better than Green Cloud Mountain!"
Yang Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and saw Sun Changsheng full of gratitude.
The legendary Demon Race great sage truly accepted him as his junior disciple sincerely and did not have any bad intentions.
"Senior brother, I'll let my parents practice for the time being. I want to venture into Dayong Kyoto on my own!"
"Good ambition!"
Sun Changsheng said, "The poor man is following you. If anyone dares to bully the small, he will smash Kyoto to pieces with a stick, and Heavenly Emperor won't even dare to fart."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Yang Xuan said, "By cultivating the Zhoutian Qiao point, junior brother, I have inherited the bloodline and know the origin of the black pattern."
"What's the origin?"
Sun Changsheng asked quickly, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, there is no need to tell me, Old Sun, Haosheng is practicing. If you need any spiritual objects, just ask."
"Senior brother, treat me with sincerity, but mere blood inheritance is nothing."
Yang Xuan said, "Please ask senior brother to cast a spell to isolate the secrets of heaven. This matter is suspected to be too serious. If word spreads, it may even attract the arrival of True Immortal from the upper world!"
Sun Changsheng scratched his head and head curiously, but then confirmed again and again. "Are you serious?"
Yang Xuan said solemnly, "Senior brother treats me like my parents, there is nothing I can't say!"
Sun Changsheng opened his mouth and spit out a red orb, rising into the air and falling with blood-colored divine light, isolating Longevity Temple from inside and outside.
"This thing is the origin of my old grandson. It is comparable to True Immortal. No one in Shenzhou can break it."
"Senior brother, I am not a pure-blooded human race. I still have Witch Clan blood flowing in my body."
Yang Xuan said in a deep voice, "According to the memory inheritance, Witch Clan has a long history far beyond the human race, and can be compared with Demon Race. Witch Clan has all kinds of strange forms, among which mine is called Gou Mang."
"Witch Clan was born with an extremely powerful physical body. The great witch in my memory has the power to carry mountains and seas. He can easily break the void. His strength is comparable to Human Immortal!"
"The skills he practices are witchcraft, and he can also cast witchcraft-like spells. He has the Combat Skill, which is similar to physical training, and the talent Divine Ability, which is similar to Demon Race."
Yang Xuan used his talent, and the texture on his body bloomed with red light, shining on the flowers and plants used to decorate the palace.
Flowers and plants quickly spread their branches, blooming and withering in an instant, and growing mature seeds.
"This is the ripening talent of the Gou Mang family. Since I only have thin blood in my body, I can only ripen ordinary flowers and plants. I also need the help of my senior brother to open the Witch God Temple to be baptized and turn into the real Witch Clan!"
