Chapter 37: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Finch (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Dongyue Temple, located outside Chaoyang Gate. It is the largest temple of Taoism in North China.

It is named after the main worship of Mount Tai God Dongyue the Great.

The Dongyue Temple in the capital was purchased in the sixth year of Yuan Yanyou, and was built in the third year of Yuan Zhizhi, giving the name "Dongyue Rensheng Palace", covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, and was built by Zhang Liusun, the great master of Xuanjiao, and his disciple Wu Quanjie.

This grandson is a real descendant of Longhu Mountain, entered the capital in the Yuan Dynasty, was loved by the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty, gave a silver seal, awarded the title of "Xuanjiao Grandmaster", and awarded Taoism to mention and manage Jiangbei Huaidong Huaixi Jingxiang Taoist affairs, wearing a silver seal.

Since then, it has been officially spread north and expanded its influence.

At present, Longhu Mountain is flourishing in the south, but the foundation of the north is basically occupied by Buddhism.

However, Dongyue Temple is an important gateway, and naturally there are still many masters sitting in the town.

Compared with the decline of the Quanzhen Dao, Zhengyi is still the leader of the Southern Daomen, even if it is a Buddhist sect, he does not dare to despise it, and naturally he will not rashly attack the Dongyue Temple outside the Forbidden City.

At this time, in the Dongyue Temple, in the huge Daiyue Palace, an old Taoist was explaining the Taoist scriptures.

"To the Tao is deep, mixed into boundless, the body is empty, and the reason is extremely mysterious. Tell me, where does this sentence come from? What's the solution? ”

The old monk looked at a young Taoist sitting down.

There are a total of more than a dozen Taoists here, but each of them has a long breath, and they don't look too old, but in their eyes, there is a sense of vicissitudes.

At first glance, they are accomplished cultivators, and these people can be left in the territory of Buddhism in the north, so they are naturally capable.

When Zhang Yanming heard Master's inquiry, he immediately replied respectfully: "Back to Master, this sentence comes from "Supreme Secret: Great Dao Product", which means ......."

He was just about to have it all, when suddenly, the beam above his head collapsed!

There was a loud bang, and suddenly a powerful sword qi burst through the air.

The sword qi came too quickly and too quickly!

Zhang Yanming looked at the sword qi, snorted, and shot a junior brother directly!

He instantly gasped, his pupils contracted, and he shouted angrily: "What person! ”

"Daring fanatic!"

"Get down!"

At this moment, everyone in the hall roared angrily!

For a moment, the mana turned into a bladed fireball, and it exploded with a bang.

Zhang Yanming even jumped into the air and flew into the air.

Immediately after everyone, they flew out, but when they saw a light in the distance, they shot away and left quickly.

Zhang Yanming's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Maoshan Sect Swordsmanship? ”

But at this moment, his master, Master Zhang Minghui, walked out, Lao Dao looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Yanming, Yanlu, you two go and arrest this Maoshan Taoist priest!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Master!" ”

At that moment, the two of them each took out a magic talisman and shook their hands, and suddenly swelled in the wind and expanded rapidly.

The two of them immediately jumped up, and the next moment, chanting the magic trick in their mouths, with a roar, the magic talisman carried the two of them, and each shot after the sword light.

Zhang Minghui frowned, looked at the two disciples who were far away, and had some doubts in his heart.

A disciple on the side couldn't help but ask, "Master, how could someone from the Maoshan Sect appear in the Forbidden City?" ”

"That's right, Master, the last time the Heavenly Master's Mansion sent a message, didn't it say that the Maoshan faction had been broken?"

"It can't be that the two Maoshan disciples who escaped don't give up and come here to sneak attack, right?"

Zhang Minghui shook his head slightly, his expression was flat, and said, "The Maoshan faction is gone, no matter what they plan, they can't stop our plan." ”

"I'm afraid that they came to the north to take refuge in Buddhism." Some disciples couldn't help but say.

Zhang Minghui smiled: "No, the concept of Buddhism is different, Buddhism will not accept them, and they will not be willing to serve Buddhism." ”

"Why is that?"

……

Zhang Yanlu, who was flying in the air, urged the wind talisman under his feet with all his might, and said, "Yes, why? ”

Zhang Yanming was also urging the magic talisman, constantly chasing the sword light in front of him, and said: "Why else, they can't get along in the south, and they have come to the north to find the mountain." ”

"Looking for a mountain? Brother, who do you think they will look for? ”

"Who else? The Northern Quanzhen Dao has been wiped out by Buddhism, and it can only be Buddhism. ”

Zhang Yanlu shook his head and said, "No, no matter what the disciples of the Maoshan Sect say, they are also from the Tao, and they will definitely not defect to Buddhism." ”

"If you don't go to Buddhism, why do you come to the north?" Zhang Yanming sneered.

Zhang Yanlu narrowed his eyes and said, "Here in the Forbidden City, the only thing that can attract them is the deposed Qing Emperor!" ”

"Huh? Brother, you mean, they ...... Served the Qing court? "Zhang Yanming is incredible. He also said: "This Qing court is desperate, what do they think about taking refuge in the Qing court at this time?" ”

Zhang Yanlu shook his head: "I don't know, no matter what they think, if they catch each other, naturally everything is clear!" ”

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry, these Maoshan disciples have not entered the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, they must be disciples of the Qi Refining Period, you and I are both Qi Refining Masters, how can we be afraid of just Maoshan disciples?"

Zhang Yanming sneered, and the speed of the two soared instantly, gradually catching up with the light.

After about an hour, the speed of the light on the opposite side finally weakened.

The two were overjoyed and immediately chased after them.

Suddenly, the light suddenly flew vertically downward, towards the mountains and forests below.

Zhang Yanming and lawyer Zhang Yan glanced at each other, and immediately showed a cautious look.

"He's going to run!"

"Be careful!"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, slowing down together, gathering the talisman, and falling into the forest.

At this time, among the ruined temples in the mountains and forests, Wu Shilang led the carriage procession and rested in the temple.

Qian Kai and Xu Qianhe are still discussing the next trip.

"Senior brother, otherwise, you continue to escort Wu Shilang and them, and I will go to the place that Senior Brother Feng said to find out what he said to see if what he said is true or false."

Xu Qianhe couldn't help but persuade, and he really couldn't help but want to get together with the other disciples of Maoshan in his heart.

Qian Kai frowned and said: "No, once you and I are separated, we will be isolated, and in case of danger, we will not even have someone to support each other, I don't agree." ”

What he said sounded good, but in his heart, he thought that if his junior brother went to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land one step ahead of him, those people would integrate the Tai Sui Sect inheritance and leave themselves to close the Cave Heaven Gate, and if he wanted to find them again, it would be extremely difficult.

He estimated in his heart that although these other disciples of Maoshan had found Dongtian, if they wanted to take back Maoshan, it must be wishful thinking.

Nine times out of ten, he still hides in the blessed land of the cave and cultivates quietly to accumulate strength.

But in this way, once they shrink into the cave and don't come out, and they go too late, they won't be able to find the location of the blessed land of the cave, won't the gain outweigh the loss?

So he wanted to keep Xu Qianhe, because at the moment, only the two of them survived in the Tai Sui Department, and only they had the complete inheritance of the Tai Sui Department.

As long as they don't go back, the eight departments of Maoshan will never be able to get together, so the other party will definitely wait for the two of them.

But once Xu Qianhe goes back, and the other party and these people have gathered the eight inheritances of Maoshan, will they still take care of themselves?

Put yourself in another place, if it was him, he would definitely not care.

Xu Qianhe wanted to say something, but suddenly, he sensed something and couldn't help but look outside the temple.

"There are mana fluctuations!"

Qian Kai also sensed it instantly, and hurriedly made a look.

The two of them immediately got up, silently lit an invisibility talisman, immediately disappeared from their figures, and slowly went out through the back door.

When they left the temple gate, the two suddenly saw two figures suspended in the air outside the temple.

Seeing that the two figures were dressed, Qian Kai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "Heavenly Master Dao people! ”

Xu Qianhe's face also changed slightly, and he immediately said in a low voice: "Senior brother, what should I do?" ”

"You go and test one or two, see what they cultivate, I'll arrange the formation, and find a way to introduce them into the formation in a while."

When Xu Qianhe heard this, he hesitated slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Then senior brother, you will notify me immediately when you arrange it." ”

"Don't worry."

Xu Qianhe nodded, and at the moment, taking advantage of the effect of the invisibility talisman, he quietly touched Zhang Yanming and the others.

Qian Kai quickly ran to the forest behind, and after a while, he took out a lot of array flags from the satchel on his body, and then placed them in a special position.

At this time, Xu Qianhe also touched behind Zhang Yanming and the others.

He was about to pull out the talisman when he suddenly heard a sneer coming from behind him.

"Maoshan invisibility talisman, hehe, carving insect skills!"

Xu Qianhe's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly turned around, only to see a cloud of white light explode in front of him!

Rumble!

Suddenly, his eyes tingled, as if he was blind, and he couldn't see anything.

He was furious, screamed, and hurriedly pinched the magic trick, and a talisman was attached to his body.

"Escape!"

It turned out to be a talisman, and in an instant, he quickly shuttled underground, and his spiritual sense dispersed, only to find that the two people who stopped outside the temple were not real people at all, but two talismans!

"The puppet talisman of the Heavenly Master Dao!"

He was furious, and suddenly there was a shock on the top of his head, and the majestic mana crashed over.

Bang!

Xu Qianhe was caught off guard, and suddenly his whole person was bombarded by mana.

In an instant, the mana in the body collapsed, and it was about to be impossible to maintain the effect of retreat.

He hurriedly jumped out of the earth and shouted angrily, "Qi refining is complete? ”

"Hehe, Maoshan boy, now you know that you are afraid?"

A sneer came from Xu Qianhe's ears, and a vicious wind swept in.

His scalp was numb, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and wish, Taishang Laojun will appear quickly!" ”

Boom!

His body instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Zhang Yanming sneered: "Is Maoshan a smoke talisman?" Watch me break your spells! ”

But when he pinched his hand, a talisman was attached to his chest, and then he opened his mouth violently and shouted!

"Come out!"

Thundered!

The heavens and the earth shook, and this sound was like thunder, shaking in all directions.

The Wu Shilang and others in the temple wailed, covering their ears and rolling on the ground one by one.

And in the black smoke in the air, Xu Qianhe suddenly stumbled out and recovered his body.

He covered his ears and showed a look of pain, but he didn't dare to stop at his feet, and ran wildly all the way in the direction of the woods.

At this moment, countless thorns suddenly swelled on the road, and the green mana light exploded.

Zhang Yanlu has made a move!

Xu Qianhe suddenly had no way out, and shouted: "Senior brother! ”

The next moment, Zhang Yanlu only felt a sword aura attack behind him.

He was immediately surprised: "There is another one?" ”

With a wave of his hand, countless vines wrapped around him.

Rumble!

A talisman exploded on the vine, the sword qi exploded, the leaves in all directions were torn, and the vines exploded.

Xu Qianhe took this opportunity to perform the art of earth escape again, and instantly passed through Zhang Yanlu and entered the forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, he staggered out, and was immediately grabbed by Qian Kai.

"Run, these two are both masters of Qi refining!"

When Qian Kai heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he was furious, and said, "How can you be targeted by them?" Walk! ”

At that moment, he hurriedly pulled Xu Qianhe, took advantage of the formation cover, and fled quickly.

Zhang Yanming and Zhang Yanlu rushed into the forest, and suddenly felt a flower in front of them, surrounded by trees, pitch black, and they couldn't even tell the direction.

The two of them were shocked at the same time, and Zhang Yanming said angrily: "It's not good, it's a formation!" ”

"Maoshan formation, they are the people of the Maoshan Taisui Department!" Zhang Yanlu also reacted immediately.

Zhang Yanming said: "Hurry up and find a door." ”

At that moment, the two of them immediately walked around in the formation.

They didn't walk around, but walked around with the Nine Palaces Bagua of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to find the location of the Bagua Sect.

At the same time, Xu Qianhe was pulled by Qian Kai, and the two ran wildly all the way.

ran until the sky was bright, and the mana of the two was about to run out, so they dared to stop a little.

Xu Qianhe's eyes regained his vision slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Senior brother, what should I do now?" I'm afraid that the royal mission will also be messed up. ”

Qian Kai's face was also gloomy: "I'm afraid it's hopeless, it's really weird, why are our whereabouts discovered by the people of Longhu Mountain?" ”

"Senior brother, otherwise, go to the place that Senior Brother Feng said." Xu Qianhe said suddenly.

Qian Kai hesitated slightly, and said: "It's okay, but we can't go now, those two disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain are not weak in cultivation, and they can't say that they will catch up with us, if we just go to the place that Senior Brother Feng said, I'm afraid that we will lead the enemy over." ”

When Xu Qianhe heard this, he was also shocked, and said: "What Senior Brother said is that even if we die now, we can't let other senior brothers be caught up by the people of Longhu Mountain." ”

Qian Kai wasn't worried about this, he was worried that now that the royal mission was completely over, the only thing he could count on was the blessed world.

If he wants to build a foundation, he can only rely on the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, so he must not lead the enemy over, otherwise he will not be able to build a foundation in his life.

"In this way, let's go to the nearby town to hide first, it just so happened that the entanglement was lost in the temple just now, let's go to a place where there are people, make some money, and use it as a coil." Qian Kai said.

Xu Qianhe nodded: "It's okay." ”

The two immediately set up a few more tricks, erased the traces of coming, and fled all the way south.

However, it was said that Zhang Yanming and Zhang Yanlu were trapped in the formation, and Wu Shilang and others in the temple had already been shocked and passed out.

In the formation, Zhang Yanming stepped on the Nine Palaces Bagua Steps, and finally stepped into the Shengmen, and saw the formation flag hidden behind a big tree at a glance!

He was immediately overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Senior brother, I have found the formation eye!" ”

At that moment he walked quickly to the big tree, and reached out to pull out the formation flag.

Suddenly, I heard a giggle overhead.

This laughter was soft and sweet, which made Zhang Yanming's heart flutter, and he couldn't help but look up.

I saw a woman in red sitting on the branch, the woman was petite, but her body was too plump!

She has a beautiful face, a natural charm, and a smile seems to be able to seduce people's souls.

Zhang Yanming was slightly stunned and murmured: "It's so beautiful......"

Sima Yan grinned: "Oh? Am I beautiful? ”

"Beautiful ......"

"Are you willing to die for me?"

"I ......"

Zhang Yanming's expression suddenly struggled, and suddenly, his spiritual sense shook, and he instantly broke free from Sima Yan's charm.

His expression changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Bold demon girl, dare to confuse this Dao Master!" ”

Sima Yan immediately pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Hmph, it's just a little bit, Brother Feng, it's better for you to come." ”

Zhang Yanming was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, but he heard a chuckle behind him: "I will help you practice at night, and you will be promoted to the perfection of qi refining as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yanming was shocked, there was someone behind him, but ...... I didn't even know it, I didn't feel it at all!

He turned his head suddenly, and subconsciously took out the talisman.

It's just that as soon as I turned my head, I suddenly had a sharp pain in my neck!

With a click, this turn of the head turned the whole head down!

His soul suddenly escaped from his body, and he looked at the man in horror.

It was only then that his soul was out of his body and he could see the man clearly.

It was a sturdy Taoist man who was nearly two meters tall, and his facial features were extremely handsome!

He just stood behind him, his head in his hands!

In the other hand...... It's the head of my junior brother Zhang Yanlu!

"How could it be...... Who are you? ”

He screamed in horror, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him!

He and his junior disciples are both Qi refining perfection, except for the foundation building masters in this world, who can kill them so easily?

Feng Ji chuckled, and suddenly beckoned, a black flying sword flew out, and said with a smile: "Now you know?" ”

"Edgeworthiness? It's you! ”

Zhang Yanming screamed in anger, his soul trembled, and he couldn't believe it.

This person is actually the enemy who has been chasing for most of the day!

Wait, that'...... So who were those two just now?

He didn't figure it out for a while.

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Today is just to collect some interest, Longhu Mountain's debt, I will go back little by little." ”

"You...... Are you a disciple of the Maoshan Sect? Impossible, how can you be a disciple of Maoshan? Among the disciples of the Maoshan faction, all the foundation building has been suppressed......"

Phewβ€”β€”!

Feng Ji didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense at all, and in an instant, a magic talisman flew out of his mouth.

It was his natal talisman.

But when I saw the natal talisman flying into the air, it turned around, and a large amount of yang energy exploded, instantly forming a tornado storm!

Wooβ€”β€”!

The vortex of terror rolled, Zhang Yanming couldn't react at all, and was directly swept into the yang whirlpool.

His soul is a yin soul, which is swept into the yang energy, and in an instant it is like cold ice meeting fire, and it instantly dissipates and burns.

"Ahβ€”β€”!h

A cry of pain came from his soul.

In an instant, his soul turned into a trick and the yin qi dispersed.

The soul that refines the qi perfectly, and the yin qi born is extremely pure.

Feng Ji smiled lightly and blew the natal magic ring.

Suddenly, the yang qi above the magic pot was reversed, and a large amount of yin qi gushed out, directly refining the pure yin qi born from Zhang Yanming's soul!

After the refining is completed, all the yin qi returns to the natal dharma.

Feng Ji opened his mouth, and the magic basket automatically flew back into his mouth.

He hiccuped slightly, glanced at the attribute panel, and suddenly laughed.

At present, he is already at the peak of foundation building, and he can't break through the golden pill.

However, the pure energy absorbed was not wasted, but turned into attribute points.

Feng Ji searched Zhang Yanming's body and found a lot of talismans and magic weapons, but unfortunately he didn't find the cultivation classics of Longhu Mountain.

However, it can also be expected that most of the lineages are direct empowerments, and it is impossible to leave pen and ink.

Sima Yan jumped down, ran to Feng Ji's side, and asked, "Brother Feng, what should I do now?" Your two senior brothers should go to join Uncle Nine and them, right? ”

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Just follow and see." ”
