Donghai Wharf, Wanghai Restaurant, Taichu found a window position on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, and a few signature dishes. All three of them are in the foundation building period, and they don't need to eat. In the early ten years, there was almost no idleness, either running around, or in penance, and today I experienced the life of ordinary people here for the first time. This kind of ordinary life was what Taichu longed for, but fate forced him to embark on the road of practicing martial arts and cultivating the truth, and he was out of control.

Taichu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the fragrance of the tea leaves was refreshing, and his mind was significantly clearer. He looked out the window at the street, this is a small port town, the town is not big, there is only one main street, but people come and go, very prosperous.

At this time, an old man came on the street, this old man was dressed in gray linen, his clothes were patched, his hair was white, he was very thin, and he felt that a gust of wind could blow him away, and his life was about to end. He holds a sail with the words "Mai Divine Appearance" written on it.

The old man staggered this way. When he got to the bottom of the restaurant, the old man stopped, looked around, and then looked upstairs. Just in time to see Taichu staring at him. The two looked at each other, and the old man smiled and walked into the restaurant.

There was a commotion downstairs: "Fortune teller, this is not a place for you to come." ”

"Xiao Er, I'm here to ask for a cup of tea. ”

"Begging, then you can't enter, you come to my store to beg, what else can I do in this business." ”

"The shopkeeper, it's not begging, someone invited me to tea. ”

"Cut out the and get out of here. ”

"Shopkeeper, you're going to make a fortune today. ”

"Any more will knock you out. ”

At the beginning, he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he could hear the quarrel below and understand the reason. I was afraid that the old man was hungry and anxious, and he wanted to get some leftovers in the restaurant to satisfy his hunger, so he asked Fan Li to pick up the old man.

The shopkeeper had a difficult face, and said to Fan Li: "Guest officer, if this beggar enters the restaurant, he will be disliked by the guests, which will affect the hotel's birthday, and I don't like the boss to explain." ”

Fan Li took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper. Xiao Er was so beautiful that she couldn't close her mouth: "Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie." "These ten taels of silver didn't make the shopkeeper make a small fortune, it was his income for two or three years.

"Shopkeeper, this silver is earned by the two of us, and I want to share half of it. The old man greedily stared at the ten taels of silver ingots in the shop. The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silver and kicked it into his arms, glared at the old man fiercely, and turned to leave.

The old man came to the table, saw that there was still a vacant seat, and he was not polite, so he started directly, gobbled it up, and ate the side dishes on the table.

Taichu didn't speak, and quietly watched him eat. The old man didn't know how long he had been hungry, and he only rolled his eyes when he was choked. Taichu handed over a cup of tea, the old man drank it all, and Taichu filled it up for the old man.

"This dish is really good, can you order another one for me, little brother, I want to pack it and take it away, and the dinner for the evening has not yet arrived." ”

Taichu called the shopkeeper and asked the old man to order casually. The old man ordered four dishes and put them on the table, and ordered four more dishes to pack. The shopkeeper frowned for a while, and the old man didn't care about other people's opinions.

Xiao Er went down to pass the food, the old man took a sip of tea, and said: "Little brother, you are a good person, the old man, I will give you a hanging, all as tea money." ”

Taichu only said that he didn't believe in the fortune telling, he took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the old man and said: "Old man, you and I are fated to meet today, you accept this hundred taels of silver tickets, go back to do a small business, and live for a long time." ”

The old man unceremoniously took the silver ticket and carried it in his arms, but did not leave. He took out three copper plates and said to Taichu: "My old man's business is also a living, not a beggar. Since I took your money, you have to count it, and you have to count it. ”

Taichu frowned, but it was not easy to refuse, so he said, "I have thanked the old man here." ”

The old man asked Taichu to hold the copper plate in his hand and shake it six times.

The old man said slowly: "Little brother, this hanging is separated from the fire, and those who occupy this hanging meet the heavenly palace, Fulu will inevitably descend to the world, and all hopes are auspicious, and the sorrow and leisure will dissipate the peace of the Lord." Judging from the hanging, it is in an eventful autumn, but it can only be invaded by others, not by others. But don't worry, little brother, your day is bright. ”

Xi Shi smiled slightly and said: "Old man, you have said a lot of good things, you should go, the silver has been given, and it will not be given a second time." ”

"I have a habit of fortune telling, whether to give money or not, to finish the calculation. The master did not speak, and the servant spoke first, and there were no rules. ”

When Fan Li and Xi Shi heard this, their faces showed anger, and Xi Shi was speechless angrily: "You... You... ”

The old man continued as if he hadn't seen it: "The infinite light is the morning and the sun, the most chastity and everything is happy, and the cattle must choose the master, and the happy will sing the twilight." ”

Xi Shi secretly scolded, this old man actually said that I am a beast, and I should choose the master, and said indignantly: "Old man, you actually said that the court is almost dusk, do you want to rebel? ”

The old man glanced at Xi Shi, did not answer, turned his head to Taichu, Taichu's birthday, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to calculate, shaking his head and sighing while calculating.

He opened his eyes, did not speak, stared at Taichu's face for a long time, shook his head and grinned, and his face was full of expression. He hesitated for a moment, then took Taichu's hand again, and looked at the palmistry very seriously.

The old man let go of Taichu's hand, sat up straight, wanted to speak, and stopped talking again, repeating it several times.

"Old man, if you have something to say, you are not to blame for right or wrong. ”

Xi Shi said: "Cultivation should be mysterious, if you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." ”

"Judging from the eight characters of his birthday, the little brother should have been a dead man. ”

Xi Shi sneered and said: "Old man, you can cheat and eat and drink, why do you still curse the master's family to die, no wonder you can't eat." ”

The old man was a little embarrassed, no one could look at him accurately, but Fan Li didn't speak, staring at the old man deadly. Seeing this, the old man seemed to see the clue, stood up and said to Taichu: "Little brother, you are kind and affectionate, which is your biggest point and your biggest weakness. I'll send you eight more words before I leave, believe it or not. ”

"The Eight Ancestors set up a game, the two Dan seized the treasure, one infant destroyed the door, and the four relatives made trouble; all beasts destroyed the world, the plague was rampant, the dragon and snake were accompanied, and the world changed hands. ”

When he said this, he was shocked in his heart, this old man seemed to know his own affairs very well, and he must have a great background. He didn't care about anything else, but one of the sentences about the suffering of the four relatives was very shocking to Taichu, and Taichu wanted to ask something more, but the old man ran downstairs without looking back, and disappeared. To say that there are few people who can slip away under the nose of Taichu, there are not many people in this five continents.

The shopkeeper just came to serve the food, walked over and said, "Guest officer, this kind of warlock is just cheating and cheating, don't take his words seriously." The old man left in a hurry, and he didn't bring the food he ordered.

Fan Li suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remember, he is Maizi! ”

"Isn't Maiko the head of the Twelve Saints, he is in charge of the Hidden Immortal Sect, how could he be in such a situation. ”

"Little Ancestor, this Maizi was chased and killed by the Eighth Ancestor, he is running for his life. Not only that, but the entire Hidden Immortal Sect and Maiko disappeared together, and they disappeared, and the entire cultivation world was looking for them. ”

"No wonder he left in such a hurry, could it be that he saw that you were Fan Li?" Fan Li and Xi Shi were wearing makeup, and now they are not their original faces at all.

"Xi Shi and I can hide the entire Wuzhou Cultivation Realm, but we can't hide his eyes, I used to contact Maizi on behalf of Wang Chan and the old thief, I am very familiar with him, even if I wear makeup, he can also judge my identity through the eyebrows. ”

"That's right, judging from the breath, this person is indeed Maiko, and I have always felt that his breath is so familiar. This Maizi is the one who has the deepest comprehension of the Heavenly Machine Dao among the Eight Ancestors and the Twelve Saints, and his words must not be believed. The little black snake suddenly spoke.

"Such a master, we should win it over. "Tai Chu regretted for a while, he shouldn't have let him go just now.

The little black snake sighed and said, "He has run out of oil and the lamp is dry, and his life is short." ”

"What the Black Snake Ancestor said is right, the cultivators of the Five Continents Continent all rely on immortal grass to continue their lives, Maizi hides everywhere, without the support of immortal grass, his lifespan will be exhausted. ”

Cangyuan Immortal Island.

The island is in the shape of a crescent moon and is ten miles in circumference. The island is covered with jungle, with mountains, freshwater lakes, sandy beaches, cliffs, birds, snakes and insects. The island was formed by a volcanic eruption, and on the south side of the island lies a crater hidden dozens of meters underwater. The island is an ecosystem of its own.

The island's ecosystem is relatively weak and there are no large predators. There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are the kings, and the most on this island are snakes, and snakes have no natural enemies on the island. There is a nest of snakes and rats, and there are snakes and rats, and rats are the main food of snakes on the island. The island's rodents are not enough for snakes, who often hunt fish in the surrounding waters, and even then, they are chronically hungry. When it sees a human, it will take the initiative to attack. As a result, most of the humans who came to this island did not survive, which is one of the main reasons why there are no humans on this island.

The island is a ridge that is a haven in the crescent moon surrounded by the ridge. On the south side of the ridge is a flat sandy beach, and on the north side there is a flat land.

On the flat ground on the north side of the ridge there was a freshwater lake, which was not large, with a radius of a mile, but it had never dried up, and no one knew how deep. It is also the main source of fresh water for the animals on the islands. Cultivators also come here to get fresh water when they are on the island. The source of fresh water, this lake is called Cangyuan Lake, and this island is also called Cangyuan Island. The island gets its name from the lake.

On the south side of the ridge, it is a flat place with a natural sandy beach wrapped in a semicircle by the ridge, which is a natural haven and a gathering place for turtles, marine fish, and mussels. Shells piled up on the shore, covering almost the entire sandy beach.

There is a pavilion on the shore, which was built by the Eight Ancestors, and it is the place where the East China Sea talks about the Tao. There are not many cultivators in the five continents, and there are only a few hundred people dispatched to the city, and this island can completely accommodate those cultivators. This place is far away from the land, there are many snake venoms, and no mortal can reach this place, which is just right for cultivators to gather and talk about the Tao.

The little black snake said: "There is no aura of cultivators on this island, we don't have to hide, just act boldly." ”

Fan Li was envious of the Black Snake's ability, they were all cultivators, the Black Snake was able to detect the surrounding aura, and none of the Eight Ancestors could do this.

"Black Snake Ancestor, there is a treasure on this island, I don't know if you have heard of it. ”

"You're talking about the gourd king?"

"That's right. The gourd was golden all over, the color of gold, and the mature gourd, the small one was a foot high, and the large one was like a three-year-old baby. It is said that there was once a gourd the size of an adult, which was taken away by the immortals of Kunlunxu. This gourd opens once in a thousand years, bears a gourd once in a thousand years, and the gourd can only mature once in a thousand years. Up to seven at a time. That is to say, there can only be one or seven mature gourds in three thousand years, and when the gourd is ripe, there will be cultivators from Kunlun Wonderland who come here to pick it. The surroundings of the gourd have been forbidden by the cultivators of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and even the Eight Ancestors cannot break it. ”

"Do you know where the gourd king is? there is no formation that my old Li can't break. ”

"The second ancestor came with me, and there is only one gourd in this gourd, at the foot of the mountain between the mountains and lakes. ”

The three of them and one snake looked at the seven gourds that were shining with golden light. Fan Li's saliva was about to flow down, and he said enviously: "The gourd is ripe, if you can get a gourd, it's worth it?"

When he was a child, his mother would plant a few gourd seedlings on the west wall outside the courtyard. When ripe, it will be full of large and small gourds, but the gourd is not as big as this, and the largest is only the size of a palm. The mother would select gourds that were not defective and sell them at the market. The gourd can be used to hold wine.

"Although this gourd is larger and beautiful, it is not of great use, and it is not convenient to carry, so it is a burden for cultivators. ”

"Hehe, junior brother, you don't understand this. This gourd seedling is the spiritual root born of heaven and earth, and the gourd is naturally also a treasure of heaven and earth. The treasures of heaven and earth within the five continents are very rare, if there is, once there is a bloody storm in this world. ”

"The Black Snake Ancestor really knows everything, and it is said that this gourd can be used to refine spiritual weapons. ”

"I also know a little bit about spiritual weapons, and I have introduced them in a book on foundation building. It is said that it is a weapon that all cultivators want to get. I just don't know what this gourd can be used for refining into a spiritual weapon?"

The black snake swung its head and glanced at the gourd, and his eyes also showed greed: "This gourd can be an innate container, it grows for thousands of years, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and its content contains the aura of heaven and earth and does not disperse, that is, the most ordinary water is packed into it, and the water will also become a rich spiritual power of the elixir jade dew, and sometimes drink it to enhance the power." ”

Taichu shook his head, feeling useless. The black snake looked at Taichu and knew that Taichu didn't think so, and continued: "For a guy with infinite spiritual power like you, it is indeed useless, but for ordinary cultivators, during the foundation building period, it is necessary to gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and it will take at least five or six hundred years to have enough spiritual yuan power to enter the Jindan stage, which is still relatively smooth cultivation." For most cultivators, even if they reach the end of their lifespan, they will not be able to reach the late stage of foundation building. With the help of this gourd, this cultivation time can be shortened to two or three hundred years, and you say that this is not a treasure of the immortal family. If I get this gourd, I believe that it will take me a hundred years to return to the golden pill stage. Killing the Eight Ancestors was just a matter before waving his hand. ”

The Black Snake is now in the middle stage of foundation building, not as late as the early stage of foundation building. The Black Snake still doesn't know why Taichu can gather qi so quickly.

Taichu said: "In this way, I can also get married soon." ”

"It is not easy to achieve the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, it takes hundreds of people to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but after all, it can be done through a long time. It's not so easy to tie the pill, without the aid of the pill, almost nine times out of ten it will fail. When I was at my peak, I had successfully formed a golden pill, and I had the experience of forming a golden pill, so I was naturally confident that I would form a golden pill again. ”

Fan Li said: "Jiedan is an unattainable thing for me, I just want to have a spiritual weapon, then I can dominate the cultivation realm of the five continents! Just like my jade Ruyi, I can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to store it, and release it instantly when fighting, doubling my strength." ”

"Not only that, if this gourd is smashed and refined, it is estimated that these seven gourds can forge a spirit weapon flying sword. Junior brother, you lack the means of attack, if you have a spirit weapon flying sword in your hand, your cultivation is enough to crisscross the cultivation realm of the five continents. ”

Fan Li grinned when he heard this, if all the seven gourds were burned, the spiritual weapon materials that could be refined were limited, and it should indeed be enough to make a spiritual weapon flying sword, but it would be too wasteful.

The little black snake said: "Fan Li, Xi Shi, you two check the prohibition on the island and break it as much as possible." Let me study the formation around this gourd king. ”

"Commanded. "The two of them went to the island to dismantle the formation.

The little black snake doesn't fully trust Fan Li, who knows if he will plan and then turn against the Eighth Ancestor. It deliberately said to Tai Chu after opening Fan Li: "Junior brother, our Nine Palace Flying Star Great Array is not comparable to the shape-shifting and transposition formation, and the shape-shifting and shadow-changing formation covers a radius of several hundred meters at most. Our formation can cover dozens of miles. The entire island can be covered by formations. But this formation must be arranged by yourself, and you can't let Fan Li and Xi Shi know where the formation is. It's just that the scope of this formation is too large and has two drawbacks, one is that the consumption of the spiritual power of the talisman is accelerated, and the formation maintenance time becomes shorter. The second is that it is impossible to take care of the array, and it is easy to be broken. ”

Taichu said: "It's okay, as long as you survive the East China Sea." Let's punch the talisman into the rocks and dirt, it's hard to find, and if we want to break the formation, it's not something that we can do for a while. ”

The Primal came to the edge of the island. He didn't dare to fly in the air, he ran almost flat, and now he acted, the more hidden the better. He smashed the talisman into the rocks on the shore. Eighteen talismans were placed around the island. At the beginning, the Great Array was activated. He stood above the crater in the southern part of the island, and the next moment he appeared on a large flat rock on the north side of the island. With the help of this formation, he is equivalent to being invincible, and the big stone that has been hanging in his heart finally lands.

If the formation is not activated, it will be difficult to be discovered, and Taichu stopped the operation of the formation and began to investigate the situation of Fan Li and Xi Shi breaking the formation. I saw that Fan Li and the others did not break the formation, but were in a hurry there.

"Fan Li, is there any trouble?"

"Back to Xiao Zu's words, these formation kings and old thieves have let others change them and add a messenger. This messenger is also often used by me in the Qingwei faction. The talisman is divided into two sheets, one is used to set up the array, and the other is in the hands of the arranger. After the rune of the Eye of the Array is broken, the rune in the hand of the arranger will be automatically destroyed. In this way, you will know that others have moved their own formations to prohibit it. If we dismantle the formation, then Wang Chan and the old thief will get it immediately. ”

Tai Chu's brows tightened, and he thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this formation can't be dismantled." But we can mark it. The formation does not cover the whole road, but there is one every other mile, we can now make a mark, where there is a formation, where there is no formation, in this way, we can try to avoid entering the formation of Wang Chan ancestor. He also knows when he is not in the formation and is suitable to attack. ”

"Xiao Zu's method is good. Fan Li showed joy, he couldn't break the formation, Taichu didn't blame, and came up with this countermeasure, he and Xi Shi were busy making marks.

Taichu encountered two big troubles, one of which was that the Shensha Fu Huang was almost running out, and he wanted to use cinnabar instead of the Shensha Fu Huang to make a rune, but he never succeeded once. He is also a veteran of the formation, and he doesn't know how many energy arrays he has drawn to create divine cars and flying cars, and he has never encountered a failure in the formation arrangement. I was full of confidence, but I was hit. Without Shensha Fu Huang, he couldn't do anything. That Huang Shunshen can draw runes in the air, and the gap between himself and him is too big.

Drawing runes with spiritual materials, and injecting spiritual vitality into the spirit again, is nothing more than wanting to condense the spiritual vitality into the shape of runes. It takes a long time to practice and find out the tricks, and what you lack most is time.

The second big trouble is that when Taichu found out that he used the Five Thunder Token to release the Little Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Righteous Law, it was not a miracle, a master duel, life and death were only in one thought, if there was a sudden failure, maybe the small life was taken.

Taichu came to the vicinity of the gourd king to find the little black snake, and the little black snake was sliding on the grass, circling around the gourd seedlings.

Taichu told the little black snake about the trouble he was experiencing now. Black Snake said: "It's not your problem, it's the drawbacks of the Five Thunder Law itself." "Little Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Fa" is to exorcise ghosts and detain gods, this method has a bane, I have never been optimistic, no matter how you practice, it is useless. The Five Thunder Dharma is to rely on the strength of others, and those gods will have public positions in their bodies, and they may not always be waiting for your call. This spell is still very useful for praying for rain and sunshine, but it is a little impractical to fight. ”

"If you want to win over the Eight Ancestors, my biggest reliance is the "Little Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification", and it's a little late to give up now. Taichu looked depressed, he didn't care about winning or losing and fame, but he couldn't let go of Xinlanmen, he wanted to protect his family. Forced step by step to today's situation, he has no way out.

"There are still emergency solutions, and we don't have to give up completely. With the Nine Palaces Flying Star Formation, you can be invincible, but what is missing is the means of attack. There is one thing that is very powerful about the "Little Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification Fa", which can be used. ”

"What's so powerful?" Tai Chu's eyes lit up, he had complete trust in the little black snake, and he always felt that this little black snake was unfathomable.

"This method can release thunder and lightning! Without any assistance from outsiders, it can spontaneously create thunder and lightning. Don't underestimate thunder and lightning, that's the true meaning of the Great Dao, even the immortals in the sky can't make thunder and lightning by themselves. And this method can directly create thunder and lightning by itself. Although the thunder and lightning were made in the Five Thunder Method to communicate with the divine generals above the Nine Heavens, and this thunder was only a transmission thunder, for the cultivators of the Five Continents, no one could withstand this blow. I suggest that you give up the cultivation of the Little Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification and concentrate on practicing using the Five Thunder Token to release thunder and lightning to attack directly. If you can enhance the power of this thunderbolt, or if multiple thunderbolts are concurrent, it will be enough to compete with the Eight Ancestors. ”

"The transmission of the thunder of the Five Thunder Method is not a god-holding spell, but it is issued through the rune array on the Five Thunder Token, could it be that this formation is the formation that releases thunder and lightning?"

"Junior brother, you should put your mind on the cultivation of the exercises, don't deliberately study the formation talisman first, I heard that the Kunlun Immortal Realm is not lacking in the formation materials. Win the East China Sea and go to the Kunlun Wonderland, everything is solved. It is impossible to say even if you can find the true meaning of the Fu Gong Dao Method. Although the cultivators of the Five Continents Continent devoted themselves to studying the formation talisman, their understanding of the talisman formation was only scratching the surface, but they wasted thousands of years of time on the way to this talisman formation, putting the cart before the horse. ”

"In the Eight Great Dao Methods of the Dao, I have the means to press the bottom of the box in the Array Dao, the Yuan Dao, the Sword Dao, the Fu Dao, and the Dan Dao, and it should not be a problem to win, but I don't know anything about the Heavenly Machine Dao and the Lingbao Dao. I have also read some books on the way of war, how can those books on the art of war in the mortal world be comparable to the cultivation realm, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. ”

"You don't need to be proficient in everything, and no one is proficient in everything, as long as there is one thing that beats the Eight Ancestors, it is a capital crime, and the Eight Ancestors will not let you go. Hahahaha... ”

Taichu listened to it for a while, what the little black snake said was right, the people who won the Eight Ancestors at the beginning, almost no one could escape the bad luck, and the Eight Ancestors would not tolerate someone surpassing the Eight Ancestors and affecting their status in the Five Continents.

"It seems that if I want to let the five continents of Xinlanmen gain a foothold, the only way to defeat the Eight Ancestors completely and subdue the Fifteen Immortal Sects is to subdue them. Breaking the foundation of the Eight Ancestors' power, I see what arrogant means they can have. ”

"It's not easy to talk about, don't underestimate any party, every ancestor is not simple, that sword ancestor white ape ancestor should be especially careful, his swordsmanship is eternal. He once passed on a set of swordsmanship to the Yue Nu, known as the "Yue Nu Sword", this set of swordsmanship is invincible in the world, helping to cross the fall of the Wu army. ”

Tai Chu looked at the little black snake with a wicked smile: "Lao Li, do you have any superb swordsmanship to pass on to me?"

"Our willow demon clan is the descendant of the God of Creation, not the descendant of the God of War, if you want to say that I have expertise in curing diseases and saving people, I am really not good at fighting. At the beginning of the battle against the White Dragon, I suffered this loss, and my cultivation was better than him, but I didn't have a good means of attack, so I fell into a bitter battle. ”

While the two were talking, suddenly, the little black snake said, "Someone is coming." ”
