Xie Mingzhou didn't wait for Benzhi to speak, he bent down and made a bow and said: "Chen Tuan is a Taoist ancestor under the sect, and Qingxi, a disciple of Mr. Shoujing, a disciple of Mr. Chongyan Qinzhenguan, has seen his predecessors and two Taoist friends. ”

The three of them all stood up, Fuwei Zhenren stretched out his hand to help, but the two Taoists returned the salute and said, "Mercy, Daoist friends are polite." ”

Benzhi went to find two futons and sat down under his two brothers to talk together.

The two sat cross-legged, and Benzhi introduced Xie Mingzhou one by one, these two senior brothers have one number Ben Ding, and one number Ben Ming.

Seeing that the master and the senior brother were puzzled, he hurriedly explained: "I met with Qingxi Daoyou in Luoyang, because I heard that the master was about to be one hundred and fifty years old, so I wanted to come to pay homage to the master, so as to fulfill the filial piety of the younger generation. ”

Fuwei Zhenren smiled lightly: "How can this be deserved?"

Xie Mingzhou said respectfully: "Why can't you be? Speaking of which, the predecessors of the Quanzhen Sect, although they are not in the same vein as Chen Tuan's ancestor, but the Inner Dan faction of the world's Daomen is all from the Taishang, and it is natural for me to come to pay homage to my predecessors." ”

He took out the thousand-year-old Poria cocos from Qiankun Pei, held it in his hand and said: "The younger generation unintentionally got this cocos god, and today I will dedicate it to the seniors, and the right to worship the gift of longevity." ”

Fuwei Zhenren is also a knowledgeable person, he only glanced at it and waved his hand again and again: "Qingxi Daoyou, such a big gift, the old Taoist really can't bear it." You'd better put it away. ”

Since Xie Mingzhou took it out, how could he take it back again?

"Seniors, although this god is rare, it is very beneficial to the seniors, and this is also the intention of the younger generations, please smile and accept it. ”

"I also know that the God of Cocoon is of great benefit to my Yuan Shen, but if I take it like this, it is too bad for the spiritual object, and no one in my view knows how to make alchemy and medicine, how can I receive such a heavy gift?" Fuwei Zhenren said with a little regret.

Xie Mingzhou made a mistake now, this Fushen Fuwei Zhenren insisted that he didn't want to, and he couldn't take it back.

Seeing this, Fuwei Zhenren said: "If Qingxi Daoist friends have the heart, in the future, they can find someone to use this cocoon god to refine the pill, but they can give a grain to Lao Dao, but now it is of no great use, you better put it away." ”

"Then I'll put it away first, and in the future, when I refine it into a pill, I will definitely send a few grains. ”

Seeing that I really have to understand the method of alchemy, and refine this pill as soon as possible and send it to Fuwei Zhenren, otherwise others will think that they are swaggering and cheating, Xie Mingzhou said secretly.

Fuwei Zhenren talked to them for a while, then waved them away, and repeatedly told the apprentice to be hospitable, he was about to turn one hundred and fifty years old, but there was still no hope for the baby, if he still couldn't cultivate the Yuan Infant after a few decades, then he could only sit on the ground and ascend to the immortal, after all, the Shou Yuan of the Jindan realm was only about two hundred years old.

Although there is no progress in cultivation, there is always a hope.

The longer the cultivation time and the older I get, the more I feel that time is running out, and if I can break through the realm one day earlier, then I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Now they are in their 100s, and they don't have much time left.

Benzhi took Xie Mingzhou to wander around and enjoy the scenery on the peaks on the four sides. There are more than a dozen peaks around this pond of different shapes, but they are all rocky mountains, there are no trees, and there is nothing to see barely.

The Tianchi Pond, which is only surrounded by a few mountains, is still beautiful, Xie Mingzhou stared at it, but found that there was something faintly swimming in the pond that day, drawing a long ripple, I am afraid that it is more than ten zhang long.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you see on that lake? It doesn't seem small, it shouldn't be a fish, right?"

"It's a Jiao. On this day, there is a water mouth under the pond that communicates with the sea, presumably this Jiao is swimming from the water mouth, I heard that Qiu Zu has existed when he preached in this view, and now hundreds of years have passed, but he still has not been able to turn into a dragon. "Benzhi used to see this Jiao a lot, so it was very plain to say.

"Is there really a dragon in this world?" Xie Mingzhou was not very surprised, but he had never seen it, and he must have been a little curious.

Ben Zhi glanced at him: "What's so strange about this? Isn't it just a Jiao, there were so many strange birds and beasts in ancient times, although there were a lot of extinctions, but there are also a lot of them now, but they are all hidden and secret, and ordinary people don't know about it." ”

The two of them are already quite familiar with each other, and now they are talking much more casually, Xie Mingzhou didn't care, he then asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you seen the real dragon?"

Although this Jiao is called Jiaolong, but in fact, it is only Jiao before it turns into a dragon, and not all Jiao can turn into a dragon, and the Jiao in the rivers and lakes has cultivated to a certain level, and will "walk Jiao" into the sea and turn into a real dragon, and some can not turn into a dragon when they enter the sea, which is called Jiaolong.

Hearing this, Benzhi said embarrassedly: "This...... I haven't really seen a real dragon, but my master has seen it, but it's only been a hundred or two hundred years. ”

Xie Mingzhou had a trace of doubt, this Changbai Mountain is not far from the sea, if there is a dragon, how can they not see it for a hundred or two hundred years? Could it be that they are not in this world anymore?

If you weren't a guest here, you could try to see if you could catch this Jiao, I heard that this Jiao that can enter the sea has been refined into Neidan, which is a good thing.

Although Jiao was also fierce before turning into a dragon, he didn't have many spells, so he should be able to deal with it.

was thinking about it here, but he heard Ben Zhi sigh and say: "Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the aura of heaven and earth has gradually been scarce, and no one has been able to break through the Yuan Infant Stage, let alone cross the tribulation and soar, it turns out that after the Jindan Dacheng, there are people from that place to take it, but now it is ...... Ay. ”

Xie Mingzhou heard that he had never heard it before, so he hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist, where is the place you are talking about?

"This place is what I used to call the secret realm, it seems to be another realm, I also heard some fur from the master, it turned out that as long as there were people in the Dao Sect who could cultivate to the Jindan Dacheng, there would be the seniors of the sect in that place to pick them up, but now more than a hundred years have passed, but there is still no news, and the master does not know what happened. ”

"I can't break through the realm, and there is no one to guide me, and Master is worried about this. ”

"Since it's called a secret realm, that place is definitely not that big, how can it accommodate so many people?"

"Ahem, the secret realm is just the name I gave, I don't know what the specific situation is, don't ask me again. Thinking of the confusion after Jindan Dacheng, Benzhi also felt a burst of irritation.

In fact, Xie Mingzhou also felt the same way, if he cultivated to the Jindan Dacheng but couldn't go any further, when the longevity yuan was exhausted, what should he do?
