Chapter 226: Borrowing Roots

Du Shen followed the fleet for more than 20 days and arrived at Jingquan Port in the northwest corner of Taiguangzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taiguang Chau is called a continent by the locals because of its vast area, and the distance from east to west is only more than 10,000 miles. Taeguang Island is called an island by outsiders, just because compared to the main continent and other real continents, the area of Taeguang Island is really small.

Du Shen failed to meet Han Yong again, he said goodbye to several familiar warriors, and disembarked on land alone.

Du Shen had also been to Taiguangzhou in his previous life and was relatively familiar with the environment. He did not stay in Jingquan Harbor for long, and went straight into the hinterland of the mainland. Du Shen planned to go to the largest dynasty in Taigwangju, the Kyoto Hecheng of the He Dynasty. On the outskirts of Hecheng, there is a Qingxuan Temple.

Don't look at Qingxuanguan's fame, there are not many people, the territory is small, and it seems to be poor. As far as Du Shen understood in his previous life, Qingxuanguan was a rare force in the Linghua Realm that could directly communicate with the Upper Realm. The worship of Qingxuanguan is the god of the East Pole of the upper realm. This monarch is considered one of the top powers of the Nine Spirit Heavens, and he is still kind. Du Shen planned to borrow a foot from him and try to hide his identity as a traverser.

Du Shen was not in a hurry. He sometimes traveled in a horse-drawn carriage and sometimes down the river by boat, stopping many times along the way. Du Shen inquired about the martial arts halls and even the Taoist halls in the secular world along the way. Du Shen selects those martial arts celebrities, or spends a lot of money to apprentice and learn martial arts, or comes to challenge and learn from each other.

Martial arts cheats, just rely on patterns, words to elaborate. Du Shen pondered and felt too difficult. He directly consulted and communicated with those experienced martial arts masters. Du Shen doesn't care about throwing money at it, and what he asks for is not too profound. Those famous masters and grandmasters were also happy to teach him.

It took more than two months for Du Shen to learn a lot of martial arts and techniques. Du Shen's fighting skills at this time have already caught up with the innate grandmaster who has accumulated years. He felt that it was difficult to improve if he continued to study, and he began to concentrate on the road.

Du Shen relied on cars and boats to get on the road, and most of his energy was used to accumulate true qi. He spent a lot of money and successively exchanged various qi-nourishing pills from martial arts people. Du Shen's true qi grew rapidly, but he was unable to reach the realm of innate perfection for a long time. "Qianyuan Gong" is easy to learn and difficult to master, and it really deserves its name. Du Shen finally experienced it.

Du Shen was not in a hurry, and patiently polished. Before he knew it, he had arrived outside the city of Hejing. Du Shen did not enter the city, and went directly to Qingxuanguan, which was dozens of miles away.

The Taoist temple is located in the middle of the mountains. Fortunately, the valley between the mountains is open and flat, and there are gravel roads leading directly to Hejing. The village is located at the foot of the Daoguan Mountain, and Du Shen left the carriage in the village and climbed the stone steps alone.

The area of the gym is actually not small, but there are not many houses. There are Taoist children guarding the gates, or walking around. They ignored Du Shen and other pilgrims.

There are not many pilgrims, some are just villagers under the mountain, and some are dressed in silk and satin, gold and silver, and it is estimated that they are rich people from outside. Pilgrims go to the main hall to worship the statue of Tianzun. Du Shen is different. He walked straight to the side hall without four walls, and made a big bow to a boulder.

The shape of the boulder is not neat, the color is blue-black, roughly in the shape of a long strip, about three meters high, less than one meter in diameter. The surface of the boulder is entrenched in a crimson pattern, forming two blurred characters. It's just that this word, the monks of the Linghua Realm from ancient times to the present, as well as Du Shen, don't know it.

Du Shen bowed to the boulder, got up and turned his head to take a look. Du Shen was looking for someone to ask, and a young Taoist priest took the initiative to stride over. Du Shen smiled and greeted him with a courtesy: "Daoist friends are well." In Xia Du Shen, I want to see the Lord. ”

The young Taoist priest seems to be inherently cold. He barely squeezed out a smile, just stopped, turned around and left: "Fellow Daoist, please come with me!"

"There is labor. Du Shen smiled and followed the young Taoist priest to stride. He secretly estimated that the other party's strength should be much higher than his own.

Walking out of the temple through the corridor, Du Shen crossed the two courtyards and walked to the door of a low hall. The young Taoist priest who led the way stopped, turned around and smiled: "Fellow Daoist, let's go in." The Lord waited inside. ”

"Thank you. Du Shen raised his hand and saluted, and strode towards the hall.

"Not necessarily. The young Taoist stood in place, looked at Du Shen's back and eyes, and walked away.

There is a screen at the entrance of the hall, on which the mountains and rivers are painted. Du Shen bypassed the screen and saw a middle-aged Taoist standing not far away with a smile on his face. The Taoist chief made a mockery to Du Shen and said with a smile: "Poor Dao Yu Xiaozi, dare to ask Du Daoyou what he wants to do here?"

The opponent's single knife went straight in, which made Du Shen not very adaptable. Du Shen was silent for a short time before he smiled: "I found a treasure by chance, and I think it's very strange." I want to sacrifice it to Emperor Qingxuan, and I implore you to help present it. ”

Yu Xiaozi narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to invite: "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat." Let's sit down and talk about it. ”

Yu Xiaozi was secretly surprised and thought wildly. When the two of them sat down one after another, he didn't call people to serve tea: "Daoist friends are only afraid of misunderstanding." Although the name of our Taoist hall is Qingxuan, and the worship is also Qingxuan God, it is not capable of presenting the sacrifice to the Emperor of the Upper Realm. The strength of the disciples in Guanzhong is limited, and they are afraid that they will not be able to help the Taoist friends. ”

Du Shen didn't care: "There is no need for the disciples to work hard." I only wish that the treasure can be presented to the emperor. Fellow Daoists, let's take a look at the treasures first!"

Du Shen got up and clasped his hands together. An Apostle-level Force Orb appeared in his hand. Du Shen stepped forward and handed it to Yu Xiaozi.

Yu Xiaozi did not hold it up. Although his cultivation was high, he still got up and took it respectfully. Yu Xiaozi repeatedly looked at the fist-sized transparent beads and frowned slightly.

For a long time, Yu Xiaozi held the orb and looked at Du Shen: "Fellow Daoist." This thing is indeed precious, and with a little sacrifice, it can become a top-notch magic weapon. Day and night grinding, it is also possible to achieve Lingbao. It's just that although this thing is precious, I'm afraid that it won't be able to enter the eyes of the emperor. ”

Du Shen smiled and shook his head: "That's because Daoyou hasn't seen the root of this thing yet." The elders of the family once asserted that this thing was not born, but came from outside the world!"

"Outside the sky?" Yu Xiaozi was stunned for a moment, and then secretly shocked. He finally attached importance to Du Shen, and secretly investigated carefully: "I haven't asked which family the Taoist friend is from, and what is the name of the elders in the family?"

Du Shen shook his head indifferently: "I'm alone now, and my family is already in the past." I only asked Daoyou, can you fulfill my wish and present this bead to you?"

Yu Xiaozi couldn't help but hesitate. This communication with the Upper Realm is very costly. Normally, Qingxuanguan is only carried out once a year. Transmission materials are several times more consumed in communication. The point is whether what you have in your hand is worth it. Don't send an ordinary treasure to the upper realm, and ruin the evaluation of the immortal official.

Yu Xiaozi was cranky, and couldn't help but murmur "outside the sky" secretly. This Shinto of the Linghua Realm was originally under the command of the God of the Arctic Houtu. It's just that it is reported that the earth god has disappeared, and he has not responded to the blessings of the nether gods for a long time.

This foreign object, could it be that other emperors have already sent people to intervene, intending to subdue the Linghua Realm?

Since there is a Qingxuan Temple in the Linghua Realm, it can directly contact the Emperor of the Upper Realm. That Qingxuan God naturally also has thoughts about the Linghua Realm.

Yu Xiaozi's thoughts were racing, and he finally made up his mind. He smiled at Du Shen and said, "Daoist friends are full of hospitality, how can we be snubbed." What the emperor's idea is, I can't guess. A piece of respect from Taoist friends, where our duty lies, is to be presented to the emperor. Fellow Daoists will wait for a few days. We will bathe, fast, and open the altar to worship, and we will present this treasure to the emperor. ”
