Several days have passed, and Xiao Xia and Mingyue still haven't been able to reach the Black Wood Forest.

The reason for this is that they landed on the same day. Since the next round of fleets going to sea will wait until more than ten days later, Xiao Xia plans to find a place to stay in Luoshui City first. After thinking about it, he still took Mingyue to the mid-mountain Taoist temple on the edge of the city and found the crow Taoist.

This is a remote Taoist temple outside Luoshui City, the incense is not very prosperous, and there are not many people coming and going, the key is that the Crow Taoist is also an old acquaintance who has been dealing with him for many years, and it is convenient to deal with it or fool around, so Xiao Xia feels that this is a suitable place to stay.

As soon as he saw Xiao Xia, the crow Taoist who was meditating in the Taoist temple first showed a look of horror on his face, and then he slapped his thigh and got up to greet him, with a smile on his face: "Yo, it's the Qingfeng Dao Chief! The Qingfeng Dao Chief's visit today really makes Xiaoguan Peng shine." I haven't seen the Taoist for a while, and the more vigorous the Taoist is, the more energetic and energetic he is, which shows that the cultivation is a great progress. ”

"Crow Daoist friends don't need to be polite, we don't have a friendship for a day or two. Although he was addressing Taoist friends, Xiao Xia didn't use the etiquette of greeting each other between Taoist priests, but just smiled and arched his hand casually like an ordinary Jianghu person. "How's business going?"

"There is Lao Qingfeng, the chief of the road is concerned. But Dao Chief, you also saw it when you came, and the poor Dao can only eat with a mouthful of food. Although there are more colleagues in the rivers and lakes who have been walking around Qingzhou these days, in recent years, the monsters around have been driven and killed, and the battles in the rivers and lakes have also decreased, and the business of Fu Gong is not very good. Speaking of this, the crow Taoist sighed again. "Last year was a good time. Several thieves in the Jinshui Temple in the city were killed by the skinning demon, and the Cloud and Mist Dao people of the Heavenly Master Temple also gave their lives, but unfortunately the poor Dao was seriously injured in an accident. When the injury was almost healed, the new bald donkey and the Taoist master of the Heavenly Master Sect also came, but still no one came to the door. ”

"Speaking of which, the Qingfeng Dao Leader seized the opportunity. Although there was a misunderstanding, I was wanted by the Luoshui Gang for a while, and it was really annoying that the Luoshui Gang came to make trouble and asked me for someone during that time! Fortunately, the Ji people have their own heavenly appearance and righteousness, and the Qingfeng Daoist finally got the snow of grievances, and officially worshiped the daughter of the Maoshan faction and the son of the Nangong family to solve the misunderstanding for you. It's really face-saving to the extreme."

As he spoke, the look on the face of the crow Taoist was also unpredictable, envy, jealousy, remorse, leisurely fascination, etc., alternately appeared on a thin face. Speaking of which, it seems that he can't even hold back his saliva, but he can't wait that day to answer the invitation of the Luoshui Gang, and then get this great opportunity.

Although the Taoist view of the crow Taoist is remote. He also often collaborated with some wild Taoist priests to do some talisman trading. But he is a genuine Taoist priest with a degree, and it seems that he is still a side branch of the Maoshan faction. Xiao Xia had known him since he was wandering around with his master, and had bought and sold talismans from him, and it was from him that he had received an invitation from the Luoshui Gang a year ago, which led to many later things.

Later, Xiao Xia was wanted by the Luoshui Gang, and the crow Taoist who introduced Xiao Xia was naturally troubled by the Luoshui Gang, but he was a genuine Taoist priest recognized by the imperial court with a legal position, and he could also receive a salary from the city every year when he was stationed at the edge of Luoshui City. The Luoshui Gang didn't dare to embarrass him too much. Later, He Xi'er Nangong came together to resolve the 'misunderstanding' of the Luoshui Gang, and Xiao Xia also came to this half-mountain Taoist temple to inform him. When the crow Taoist learned that the little wild Taoist priest who had been driven away by him actually worshiped under the Maoshan Gate, he was so envious that he almost fainted, but he also immediately changed his attitude and respected him, and naturally he no longer called 'the stinky boy surnamed Xia' in his mouth, and he was a Qingfeng Dao Chang one by one.

"Qingfeng Dao Leader wants to come and borrow it for a few days, that's naturally no problem, as long as it's not too shabby, you can live as long as you want. ”

"Oh, and this girl, this girl is really beautiful and natural, and Qingfeng Dao Chang is really a match made in heaven, of course, you can live as long as you want, anyway, there are no pilgrims in my temple, and the people who come and go are acquaintances, I will immediately go and clean up the one on the edge of the room to make a new house for two." ”

"By the way, Qingfeng Dao Chief, I don't know if there are any spirit talismans brought from Maoshan? Although there are fewer rivers and lakes fighting and exorcism and monster killing these days, and the sales of talismans such as the Five Elements Talisman are not very good, but in the past few years, there have been too many killings, and there are still ghosts and ghosts. The sales of the supernatant spell are still good, and the first and second grades can also be worth hundreds of taels of silver, and it will be even better if it is a high-grade one. I will collect it directly from the Qingfeng Dao Chief at a high price, and I will not make any more money by consignment."

"By the way, since the Qingfeng Daoist wants to stay here for a few more days, then I will also go to inform a few Taoist friends of the Baiyun Temple in the city, everyone belongs to the same Zheng, and it can be regarded as the same door, discuss the next Dao method together, and plan how to deal with those bald donkeys in Jinshui Temple."

Xiao Xia had a headache at that time, and the Crow Daoist was really overly enthusiastic when he saw him. Originally, he just wanted to temporarily stay unnoticed until the next round of sea ships went to sea, but the crow Taoist jumped up and down, personally went to clean the wing room, not to mention, and bought talismans from him at a high price and arranged the itinerary for him, eager to serve him as his own grandfather, and even he said that he just wanted to live quietly for a few days, and this crow Taoist also had the right to think that he was being modest and polite. Xiao Xia is also slightly strange, this crow Taoist is indeed a bit of a philistine, but he doesn't seem to grovel to himself to this truth, if it is not very clear that what happened in Jingzhou will never be known by this crow Taoist, let alone his turn to worry, he simply wonders if this Taoist has other intentions.

It wasn't until later in the dead of night that the Crow Daoist cautiously took out a verdant little gourd, and after talking nonsense, Xiao Xia gradually understood what was going on.

"Qingfeng Dao Chief, please see, this is the treasure of my master's hand-down, my mid-mountain Taoist temple, a Shangqing Lingbao contemplation mantra. The crow Taoist carefully held the little gourd in his hand, and the look on his face was proud, loving and cautious, as if this was the only seedling bloodline of his family's three generations.

Xiao Xia couldn't help but take a closer look, this little gourd didn't seem to be anything unusual at first glance except for its verdant color. But with his current perception and eyesight, he can naturally feel the mysterious aura that surrounds it and does not elicit. This is indeed an innate spirit rune. After the talisman reaches the top grade, according to the different types of factions and the differences in the methods of making zuò, the form is no longer limited to the rune paper rune, just like the innate talisman given to him by the mud in the stone of the elder of the thick earth gate in the past looks like an earth ball. Moreover, no matter how good and perfect the acquired talisman system is, the vitality in it will slowly dissipate over time, and eventually the overall structure will collapse and become unusable. No matter how good the system is, the acquired talisman can be maintained for more than ten years, which is the limit. The rough technique can only have a period of a few months and years, and the laws of heaven and earth of the innate spirit rune are self-contained and endless. As long as there is no external force, it is common to preserve it for tens or hundreds of years.

"This Spirit Treasure Contemplation Mantra is an innate spirit rune of the upper four grades. I have always cherished and carefully collected it, and ordinary people can never let them see it, that is, I took it out because you have a great relationship with me. The Crow Daoist subconsciously looked left and right. lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop.

There is not even a single Taoist child in this remote Taoist temple. The hired pyrotechnics didn't live here at night, and Mingyue had already gone to the room that had been cleaned up over there to rest, this crow Taoist was still like this, which made Xiao Xia secretly a little funny, but he also understood that this was not pretended by the crow Taoist. Although Zhang Yuhong once said that it is not accurate to judge the innate spells by the classification method of the Shenji Hall, the efforts of the Shenji Hall to gather many Taoist priests are not all in vain. It is indeed too precious for a Taoist priest like the Crow Taoist who guards a small Taoist temple in the middle of nowhere.

High-grade talismans can be said to be priceless things, and the Luoshui Gang spent a full five thousand taels of gold to buy the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman. The difference in the level of this contemplation mantra seems to be, even if it is not worth five thousand taels of gold, it is enough to attract people with bad intentions to seek wealth and kill people.

"This spiritual treasure contemplation mantra is infinitely useful, used to exorcise ghosts can sweep away the spiritual light of the yin soul, used to shock the soul against the enemy, and the greatest wonderful use is to use it for oneself, which has the effect of calming the mind and guarding the soul and feeling the heaven and earth. As soon as the crow Daoist's hand was raised, the verdant little gourd floated up, and a clear light like a light, and a light like mist floated out of the gourd's mouth, enveloping the two of them in it.

"Huh?" Xiao Xia was slightly startled. He could feel that there was a deep and lively aura in this clear light, which made his mind become lively, and some details that were usually difficult to notice were now clearly visible in his senses. It's just that this crow Taoist treasured talisman is inexplicably used here, and I really don't know what he's thinking.

However, the crow Taoist in the clear light looked calm, slightly closed his eyes and felt the feeling in the clear light, and then said to Xiao Xia: "How? Qingfeng Dao Chang has been practicing on Maoshan Mountain for the past year, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, and he can also feel the wonderful use of this spiritual rune, right? After only using it for an hour, you must let this spirit spell absorb the aura of heaven and earth for half a month's work before it can be used again. ”

"I see. Natsu nodded. Some innate spells that are not used to attack can indeed be used many times and again in this way, especially in the Taoist talismans of the Shangqing School that focus on the soul, this Shangqing Lingbao Guanxin Mantra seems to be indeed from the handwriting of the Maoshan School, and the master of the Crow Daoist is not nonsense. This kind of Dao method that can flow for a long time and restore itself is naturally far from being comparable to those spells that are released at one time in terms of power, and it takes a long time to wait for the laws of heaven and earth in it to recover on its own. But even so, this innate charm is even more precious and difficult to control, no wonder the Crow Dao people cherish their lives.

"Fellow people in the rivers and lakes know that my crow Taoist has made a good talisman, but I don't know that most of them actually have the power of this spirit rune, although there is only a little more than an hour in January, I have prepared all the materials, but it is enough to make four or five spirit runes. The crow Taoist stroked his beard with his hand, his expression was slightly complacent, and then he peeked at Xiao Xia again, his expression was a little strange, and after hesitating for a while, he still said with a shameful face: "The talisman failed a year ago, but I was a little rash, and I wanted to use the power of this spirit spell to break through the pass to draw a high-grade spirit rune, but I didn't know that there was a fork in the rune in the vitality out of control, and I almost lost my life, but fortunately, this spirit spell was unharmed."

"I see. Natsu nodded again. He has always wondered that the cultivation of the Crow Daoist is not much higher than him. How dare you try to draw a high-grade spirit rune back then, it turns out that it is relying on the assistance of this Taoist spiritual mantra. But from Xiao Xia's current point of view, he knows that this will definitely not work, and there is an essential difference between the innate Dao method and the acquired Dao law. If the self-cultivation of the mind has not reached that point, even if the effect of this spiritual spell is a hundred times stronger, it is useless, and the failure of the Crow Daoist back then was doomed.

After saying this, the Crow Daoist didn't speak anymore, but just looked at Xiao Xia in a daze, looking a little embarrassed, as if there was something difficult to say. This made Xiao Xia a little baffled. Secretly recalling the situation back then, after returning from Luoshui City, he pulled the ragged and almost naked crow Daoist out of the ruins. Could it be that this person still has a quirk of nakedness when he made the talisman, and he wanted to stop preaching it everywhere? But why didn't he say it at the time, and he didn't pick it up again after a year?

After a while, the crow Taoist gritted his teeth. Stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Xia: "When I made talismans, I used this Mind Meditation Mantra." I never dared to show it in front of people, so I took the opportunity to invite the Qingfeng Dao Master to the Taoist Temple. This has been my death for many years, and to this day, the Breeze Dao Leader is the first person to see this spell. The rudeness of the year was really a last resort, please don't take it to heart. ”

When Xiao Xia heard this, he was stunned, and he secretly screamed in his heart with tears and laughter. Back then, the crow Taoist kicked him out of the Taoist temple who was staying here, and his words were quite polite. said that he ate for nothing or something, and he seemed to have an argument with him because he was in a bad mood. Xiao Xia didn't take this matter to heart at all. Of course. If Xiao Xia was still a rootless and bottomless wild Taoist priest wandering around, the Crow Daoist would definitely not care, but when he became a disciple of the Maoshan faction, and also worked to teach He Jinzhi's daughter and the son of the Nangong family to go to Qingzhou to solve the misunderstanding for him, this became a big pimple in the hearts of the Crow Daoists.

"When Luoshui City was first built, my master set up a mid-mountain Taoist temple here, for this Luoshui City to eliminate demons and catch ghosts, appease the people, and also made a lot of contributions. After the master immortal went, I took over this Taoist temple, although the cultivation is not enough, but also try my best to maintain, but there are traces of demons in the city, whether it is the people to report or the county government has an order, I am also all dedicated. Although it is somewhat unlawful to accept the matter of buying and selling talismans from fellow rivers and lakes, it is also for the convenience of fellow Jianghu people to mix a bite of food, which Qingfeng Dao Chief should understand."

The crow Taoist babbled about the history and exploits of him and the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain, and a pair of old eyes actually shone with some tears, as if he had confessed his last words. Seeing Xiao Xia crying and laughing, he was also a little embarrassed. Back then, when the crow Taoist bought and sold talismans here, there were many wild Taoist priests who were very envious of the official Taoist status of the crow Taoist, who had a teacher and a job, and the crow Taoist was also complacent and consciously superior. But this proud status is so humble and pitiful at times. Xiao Xia knows very well the mentality of this lowest-level Jianghu people, and in the eyes of the Crow Daoist, he worshiped the orthodoxy of Maoshan and climbed the relationship between He Jinzhi's daughter and the son of the Nangong family, which can be said to be through the sky, and he really has the heart to rectify his small Taoist temple attached to the branch next to Maoshan It is not a piece of cake.

Of course, Xiao Xia would never do that, he didn't take it to heart at all, and he had to take revenge on others for a little bit of past anger, which was naïve and boring to the extreme. But seeing the crow Taoist's uneasy face, he could only explain: "The crow Taoist is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he will seek a convenience for his fellow Taoists in the rivers and lakes at the expense of breaking the ban, and he has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, which everyone knows." I've been friends with the crow Taoist for many years, how can I not know? As for the little tongue back then, I almost forgot if the Taoist friend didn't mention it, what a big deal it was."

Xiao Xia said that most of the scruples in the hearts of the Crow Dao people were dispelled, and he let out a long breath, and said with some excitement: "Many years ago, when the Qingfeng Dao Chang came to Qingzhou with your master, I saw that the Qingfeng Dao Chang had a strange bone, his eyes were full of light, he was smart and heroic and righteous, and he was definitely not a thing in the pool.

After sighing with emotion, the Crow Daoist looked up at the little gourd suspended in mid-air, still swallowing Qingguang and said: "Although Qingfeng Dao Chang must have seen many high-grade spirit runes on Maoshan Mountain, this opportunity once a month is also quite rare, just chatting here and letting it drift away is simply a violent thing, if Qingfeng Dao Chang doesn't dislike it, how about taking advantage of this Shangqing Lingguang to meditate and practice with me?"

This is also a gesture of affection, Xiao Xia is not easy to refuse, he really wants to try the use of this Shangqing Lingbao contemplation mantra, so he nodded and agreed, and sat down cross-legged on the same place with the crow Taoist, closed his eyes and meditated and cultivated.

Thoughts sink into the sea of knowledge, Xiao Xia immediately felt the bursts of erection from the true talisman of all things that have been completely integrated with the divine soul, this erection seems to be a little clearer and more powerful than in the past, it seems that the spiritual light of this Taoist mantra can make people calm and guard the soul, and the theory of understanding heaven and earth is not the nonsense of the crow Taoist, and this clear light is not only a superficial effect such as calming people's minds, although the amplitude is not large, but it can penetrate the depths of people's souls, and it is indeed the effect of the innate Dao law directly vibrating the laws of heaven and earth.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the innate talisman after he has the true talisman of all things, and the laws of heaven and earth stirred up between the clear light and the swallowing are slow and orderly, not as violent as those innate dao methods used to attack and fight, and this spiritual treasure contemplation mantra is cast on him, like an oncoming spring breeze, and his soul and the intimate fit of the true talisman of all things, even more than Xu Zhengzhou's finger that tried to restrain his strength that day. Xiao Xia couldn't help but be curious, and with the encouragement of the Ten Thousand True Talismans, he extended his divine thoughts along this clear light, reaching the spirit treasure contemplation mantra itself.

Suddenly opening up in front of him, Xiao Xia felt as if he had entered a magical world, and the laws of heaven and earth around him came to life, generally running in a fresh and flexible rhythm, forming a grand and exquisite picture, and it seemed to be a small world where the self-proclaimed system was endless. Xiao Xia was amazed and sighed, just like a child entering a fun playground, he couldn't help but watch carefully, play carefully, and feel every new and interesting place carefully, and this heaven and earth showed him incomparable tolerance and intimacy, let him swim and play in it, and let out a slight erection, which seemed to echo the true talisman of all things in his soul.

It seems that a long time has passed, and it seems that it has only taken a short moment, Xiao Xia has finished swimming in the small world woven and drawn by the laws of heaven and earth, and has firmly remembered every trace of it in his heart, and the tympanic artery of this piece of heaven and earth has completely coincided with the erection of the true talisman of all things. In the sea of knowledge, the image of the true talisman of all things has never been clearer, and I don't know when the world in front of him has been completely replaced, but Xiao Xia doesn't feel pity, because he feels that as long as he wants, he can re-evolve the heaven and earth that belongs to the Lingbao Guanxin Mantra.

With a long breath, Xiao Xia opened his eyes. He only felt that this meditation retreat had helped him so much that it was unprecedented, and it seemed that the magic of this Spiritual Treasure Contemplation Mantra was truly extraordinary. But he was about to open his mouth to thank the Crow Daoist, but he saw the Raven Daoist's eyes wide open, staring at him like a ghost.

I don't know when, the clear light spit out by the small gourd floating in mid-air was more than ten times stronger than the previous one, and it didn't fall on the crow Daoist at all, it was all shining on Xiao Xia's body, and with Xiao Xia's eyes, the little gourd suddenly lost its strength, and fell to the ground with a poof, and the original verdant color also faded quickly, but it became scorched and dry in a few blinks of an eye.

"This" The crow Taoist trembled all over, and looked at the small gourd on the ground that was as precious as his own three generations of single bloodline, and then moved his gaze up to Xiao Xia's face, as if looking at the killer and the peerless devil who destroyed the world. "You, you, you"

"I, I" Xiao Xia was also dumbfounded. He probably understood what was going on, but he really didn't know how to explain it.

With a pop, the crow man fell to the ground as softly as mud, looking at the small gourd in front of him that seemed to have been dried for decades, and actually whimpered and cried. (To be continued......)
