Ye Haotian returned to Huashan. Wang Laohan's home is almost the same as when he left, except that two grass houses have been added, and the faces of several people are full of smiles.

Seeing Ye Haotian, the whole family gathered around, gossiping non-stop.

"Sold two pieces of jade, one in Chang'an and one in Luoyang, for a total of 50,000 taels of silver. Wang Xiaoshi hurriedly said, busy showing Ye Haotian the silver ticket.

"Oh my God, how can you spend so much silver?" Wang Laohan's hands didn't know where to put them.

Ye Haotian looked at everyone: "Do you want to move to Chang'an?"

Several young people said yes, but Wang Laohan was a little hesitant. In the end, Wang Xiaoshi said: "Dad, after you arrive in the city, you can enjoy Qingfu every day." So it was decided.

The next day, everyone arrived in Chang'an, a hundred miles away.

Although there is no prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is still a metropolis. It has a population of nearly one million and tens of thousands of merchants. The most prosperous place in Chang'an is located on Zhuque Street, which is full of traffic, pedestrians, and endless streams. There are many shops on both sides, and there are more than ten shops selling jade.

When he was about to walk to the end of the street, Ye Haotian suddenly saw a notice of the sale of the store, walked up to ask, and a businessman in his fifties came out and replied: "Sir, my store here is spacious and the location is not bad, do you want to buy it?"

Ye Haotian nodded and said, "I want to take a look first." ”

The man led him inside and out, and introduced as he walked: "This was originally the mansion of the Zhang Gongbu, and the Zhang family fell three years ago, and I bought this house for 100,000 taels of silver." If you want it, you can make it cheaper, ninety-five thousand taels. ”

Ye Haotian took a closer look and found that there were seven or eight stores in the storefront, which could only be regarded as medium-sized, but the courtyard behind was very large, with five houses in front and back, adding up to no less than a hundred, and there was even a lot of open space in the courtyard. The house has been built for more than ten years, and it is not old.

He felt good, so after some haggling, he bought it the same day.

Later, he drew a figure and asked Wang Wanshi to find someone to renovate the storefront, and at the same time personally dug a large pit and a small pit in the open space in the southeast corner of the courtyard, and the two pits were connected by a tunnel, and the exit of the tunnel was located in a bedroom. Then it was capped with bluestone slabs, covered with earth, and became two cellars, one large and one small.

In the dead of night, Ye Haotian returned to his home at the foot of Wang Lao Hanhua Mountain alone and tried to put all the jade into the Qiankun bag. The Qiankun Bag is really an artifact of the Immortal Family, and it didn't swell a little bit after so many things, and the weight only increased a little bit.

Back at the new house, he took out the jade from the Qiankun Secret Bag and stacked it in a relatively large cellar, only putting a dozen or so pieces in the smaller cellar outside, and then personally covered the portal between the two cellars. When he came to the exit of the tunnel, he used his skills to draw the Dao spirit rune, and the spirit rune was printed directly on the door.

Subsequently, according to the formation passed down by Guiguzi, he placed a "Broken Tiger and Forbidden Wolf Ten Thousand Disasters Dissolving Tianqing Great Array" dozens of zhang in the place where the jade was hidden.

The large array was set up, and more than a dozen surrounding houses disappeared out of thin air.

The Wang family saw that the jade had moved from Huashan to Chang'an overnight, and they had learned all kinds of wonders about the Great Array, and they all regarded him as an immortal.

Wang Xiaoshi was envious, and couldn't help but say: "I want to learn the immortal method from you, can Mr. pass on my hands?"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "What kind of immortal method?

After a little hesitation, he took out one of the remaining two thousand-year-old lingzhi, soaked it in wine, and let everyone drink it.

After the tea effort, everyone felt refreshed and fluttering, and Wang Laohan's gray hair turned black.

The biggest harvest is Wang Xiaoshi, because he has studied kung fu for two years, he actually feels that the dantian is like fire, and it seems that he has increased his skills for more than ten years out of thin air. He was so excited that he couldn't help but run into the yard and shout.

Ye Haotian was also happy for everyone, and then passed on Wang Laohan's set of exercises to prolong life, taught Wang Xiaoshi a set of meditation and qi exercises, and instructed him to exercise diligently at two o'clock in the meridian, maybe there will be unexpected wonders.

Everyone thanked Ye Haotian for their kindness: "Thank you, sir." You are our master!"

Ye Haotian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to open a store, and you'll have to work hard next! He knew that these were honest people, so he had to think carefully for them, and thought for a while: "Xiao Shi, you bring enough silver tickets tomorrow, go to the Huaqing Martial Arts Hall to find a few masters, and ask them to protect the jade shop." ”

"Is this useful?" Wang Xiaoshi was a little unimpressed.

"It's useful!" Ye Haotian said solemnly.

In the "Blue Jade Pavilion", in the famous jade workshop in Chang'an, an old man with gray hair was carving intently, and there were more than a dozen young people around him watching intently. Soon a vivid jade phoenix carving was completed, the technology is too good to say, but unfortunately the jade is not good enough, so it cannot be regarded as a flawless top grade, even the old man sighed regretfully.

A young man with a jade tree in the wind quietly walked in and gently placed a piece of jade on the table.

Everyone looked straight at once. The old man turned the jade over and over again, sighed deeply, and said, "I have carved jade all my life, and I have never seen such a good jade, but it's a pity!

The young man smiled and said, "This piece of jade is given to the old gentleman, I still have a few pieces of such jade at home, I wonder if the gentleman can take a look?"

The old man knew the value of jade, his hands trembled with excitement, and he agreed without hesitation: "Only such jade can carve a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation!

The group came to the Wang family's new house.

The young man took out five identical pieces of jade for everyone to watch, and then said, "My surname is Ye, and I want to invite the old gentleman to come here to carve jade, and I will receive 100,000 taels of silver a year, I don't know what the gentleman wants? Your apprentices can come with an annual salary of 10,000 yuan." ”

The old man and the apprentices looked at each other and nodded. After all, such an annual salary is too high.

Ye Haotian knew in his heart that for a craftsman like the old man, what was more attractive might be those excellent jade materials.

On the same day, the "Blue Jade King" went back with his apprentice to pack up his tools and prepare to start work tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoshi came back, with four or five big men with bulging temples, and at first glance he was a master of foreign practice. Ye Haotian asked a few words casually, and felt that it was okay. These people can't deal with cultivators, it's more than enough to scare a few thieves.

In the evening, Ye Haotian pondered Guiguzi's Qimen formation with his heart, and felt that the more he pondered, the more interesting it became.

In the middle of the night, he continued to practice the kung fu of Yuan Shen out of his body, and tried to make Yuan Ying pull out his sword, although the sword was withdrawn, Yuan Ying seemed to be very difficult, and a set of Qingcheng swordsmanship took an hour. But he was very satisfied.

Three days later, the jade shop officially opened. Ye Haotian named the jade shop "Lantian Jade King", which is very similar to the name of the jade carving master.

On this morning, the Blue Jade King was happily discussing with several apprentices.

"Master, I think it's better to carve this jade into a dragon and phoenix!" a young man shouted.

"I don't think it's better to carve a vase. Another interjected.

When the Blue Jade King was silent, he suddenly heard someone say: "It's better to carve a jade Guanyin." ”

Everyone looked back and realized that the shopkeeper had arrived, and they hurriedly saluted.

A young man asked, "Why do you want to carve a jade Guanyin?"

Ye Haotian explained: "I heard that today's saints worship Buddhism, and even canonized several national teachers, who are in the palace all year round. I was thinking that if it was carved into a statue of Kannon, or a statue of the Buddha, it could be sold for a good price, and maybe it would be bought by dignitaries or even offered to Ouchi. ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

The Blue Jade King stroked his beard and said, "There is some truth. I'll have a good idea of it and try to make it a masterpiece. Such a good jade material can't be wasted!"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "The master has thought about it and boldly started, there is no shortage of jade materials, and if this piece is broken, replace it with another piece." ”

The Blue Jade King shook his head and snorted lightly: "I call myself the Jade King, how can I do such a violent thing?" The implication is also: "Although you are the shopkeeper, you have to respect me as a master in terms of jade carving." Saying that, he ignored Ye Haotian anymore, and took a pen and paper to draw grass patterns.

Ye Haotian saw that he couldn't paint for a long time, and he was not satisfied with changing it, so he smiled and said, "I think of a pattern, maybe you can try it." Why don't you let me draw it, and ask Master Lan to refer to it in detail?"

When the Blue Jade King was meditating hard, he was impatient when he heard the words, threw away the pen, and said lightly: "You come to paint!"

Ye Haotian didn't care about the tone of his words, thinking back to the millions of ancient books he had read, including various rubbings of Buddhist paintings, and picked up the pen to draw pictures one by one, each of which was exquisite and unique. I painted more than a dozen paintings in one hour, and everyone was stunned, and they were so impressed that they fell to the ground.

The Blue Jade King was also in awe and admired: "Not only is the idea exquisite, but the master's painting is also a must! Apprentices, treasure these pictures! Go back and ponder slowly!"

Ye Haotian smiled and retreated.

He stayed in Chang'an for a few more days, and saw that the jade shop was doing a prosperous business, and he said that he had made tens of thousands of taels of silver, and everything was on the right track. He decided to leave here and visit the famous mountains and rivers to improve his skills as soon as possible, and at the same time try to find more immortal treasures.

※※※

Fifty miles to the south of Chang'an, is known as the "fairy capital", "the world's first blessed land" reputation of Zhongnan Mountain. Zhongnan Mountain starts from martial arts, east to Lantian, thousands of peaks are stacked and green, and the scenery is beautiful.

As soon as you enter Zhongnan Mountain, the first thing you see is the Louguan Platform. The observation deck is not a simple terrace. It is rumored that during the reign of King Kang of Zhou, the astronomical astrologer Yin Xi was the order of Hangu Guanguan, and the grass was built in the Zhongnan Mountain, and every time he climbed the grass floor to watch the stars and look at the qi. As soon as he saw the purple qi coming from the east and the auspicious star going west, he knew that there would be a saint passing through this pass, so he waited for the pass. Soon an old man dressed in colorful clouds and rode a green ox to arrive, which turned out to be Lao Tzu's westward journey into Qin. Yin Xi hurriedly invited Lao Tzu to Louguan, performed the disciple ceremony, and invited him to lecture and write books. Lao Tzu taught Yin Xi 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching on the high post in the south of the building, and then drifted away.

Since Yin Xicao created the building view, all dynasties have built in Zhongnan Mountain. Qin Shi Huang once built a temple in the south of Louguan to worship Lao Tzu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Lao Tzu Temple in the north of Louguan. Entering the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang clan recognized Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, as the holy ancestor, a large-scale Zongsheng Palace was built in Zhongnan Mountain. On the wall of the Zongsheng Palace is a poem by Wang Wei: "Taiyi is close to the sky, and the mountains are connected to the sea." The white clouds look back, and the blue mist enters to see nothing. The peaks in the field change, and the clouds and sunshines are different. If you want to stay with someone, ask the woodcutter across the water. ”

Ye Haotian savored the leisurely elegance depicted in the poems, while walking around the Louguan platform.

Ascending along the mountain road, soon see a number of building views, among them, there are Chongyang Chengdao Palace, Yuxian Temple, Tongxian Wanshou Palace, Jixian Temple, Taiyi Temple, Yuhua Temple, Bailu Temple, etc., most of them open the door to let people enter the incense, and you can also visit at will. Ye Haotian looks like a traveling gentleman, and he has to enter the incense and watch the ceremony every time he goes to a Taoist temple, leaving a lot of incense and silver, so he is treated well.

Later, he left the main road and walked off the beaten track and in beautiful scenery.

There are many medicinal materials on the mountain, such as the best yellow berries, atractylodes, rehmannia and angelica.

On the cliff behind the mountain, where there was no sunlight, he even found a few yellow essences that had grown for thousands of years, which was a holy product that greatly replenished the Yuan Yin, and if it could be matched with ginseng, it would be of great benefit to the cultivation of the Yuan Shen.

He persevered and continued to search, hoping to find good mountain ginseng, but he didn't find it after walking many places, but he found some cork, fritillary, Chuanxiong, and safflower, which are all medicinal materials needed for alchemy, so he picked some of each and put it in the Qiankun bag.

In addition, he also found a few ancient swords, as well as some jade slips that recorded the cultivation techniques of the Taoist priest of Zhongnan, and checked them slightly, although they were of some value, they were not rare. In a stolen ancient tomb, he even picked up a volume of poems, the beginning of which was Li Bai's "Zhongnan Mountain Over Husi Mountain People Staying in Wine": "Twilight from the Bishan down, the mountains and the moon return with the people, but take care of the way to come, the sky is green and slightly ......" There are many poems attached to the back, Rao is that he has read more than 10,000 volumes, and he has not seen such beautiful poems, and he immediately treasures them like treasures.

Walking into a forest two or three miles away from Chongyang Wanshou Palace, the Tongling Jade on his chest suddenly became very hot. If you look closely, there are several rows of pines and cypresses in front of you, arranged in rows, which is completely different from the chaos around you. Among the many pines and cypresses, there is a towering ancient tree, more than ten zhang high, the trunk has been cracked, but the crown is still green and vigorous. The tree is covered with coniferous pine cones.

Ye Haotian searched for a long time, and finally determined that the treasure was located five feet in front of the tree. He took out the sword and dug it carefully, and as a result, he dug up a sarcophagus three feet underneath, and the coffin was engraved with a few words: "The relics of the ancestor are backed up here, and the future generations will have a fate, and I will be true." Changchun real questions. "It turned out to be something left behind by the Dan Dao master Qiu to prevent the loss of the Quanzhen Sect. Open the lid of the coffin, there is only a jade box with a foot in it, and there is a roll of parchment paper in the box, densely filled with small characters like ants, and the first page is inscribed "The Five Ancestors of the Northern Sect".

Ye Haotian first browsed it and found that it recorded the practice methods of the Northern Sect Taoists, and the content was very detailed, much more detailed than the "Daozang Overview". The five ancestors of the Northern Sect refer to Donghua Shaoyang, Zhongli Zhengyang, Lu Yan Chunyang, Liu Haichan and Wang Chongyang and other five real people, the school pursues "all true and immortal", and its cultivation is mainly pure, that is, to "know the heart and see the surname" as the first priority, to refine the heart and refine the foundation, and at the same time do not waste the essence of the cultivation, so Wang Chongyang later called "Quanzhen Sect".

He studied the Dan Jue as he walked: "The form is bad, the heaven and the earth are also illusory bodies, the Yuan will end, there is only a little sunshine, beyond the calamity, in the human body is the surname Hai, that is, the Yuan Shen...... The secret of Jindan lies in one surname and one life. The surname, the sky, often dives at the top. The fateful one, the earth, often lurks in the navel ......" he was impressed while studying. The value of these scriptures is immeasurable, and they are especially important for the Yuan Shen Out of Body that he is cultivating.

When he came to Chongyang Wanshou Palace, he burned a few sticks of incense, and then put ten taels of silver in the Gongde box.

When the little Taoist priest next to him saw it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly invited him to the inner room to drink tea.

Ye Haotian took out a piece of jade found on the mountain and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Little master, I picked up this piece of jade, and there is some handwriting engraved on it, I don't know what it means." ”

The little Taoist priest took it, just glanced at it and exclaimed, and then jumped and ran out, and after a while, a white-haired old Taoist walked in and shouted at the little Taoist: "Change the fragrant tea, and bring the best Linhai Panhao that I have treasured for many years." Then he came to Ye Haotian and bowed deeply.

Ye Haotian hurriedly returned the salute.

Lao Dao touched the jade and said: "This is the relic of the ancestor of Yin Zhiping, the sixth generation head of this faction, I don't know how the donor found it." ”

Ye Haotian replied: "I saw it by chance, and I thought it was interesting, so I stayed." Since the master thinks it's useful, please keep it. ”

"Thank you!" Lao Dao carefully held the jade slip in his hand and looked at it.

Ye Haotian looked around and asked, "I saw that most of the nearby Taoist temples have been in disrepair for many years, I don't know what's wrong?"

Lao Dao sighed: "I think that back then, after the creation of Chongyang Zhenren, through Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, and Qiu Chuji reached its peak, at that time the Jin Dynasty was about to perish, the Southern Song Dynasty was very weak, only the Mongolian power was in the ascendant, but Patriarch Qiu was a golden envoy, Xie Song hired, at the age of seventy-three, willing to brave the hardships of wind, sand and heavy snow, led eighteen accompanying disciples, traveled thousands of miles, and arrived at the Genghis Khan military camp in the Great Snow Mountain of the Western Regions. Genghis Khan personally summoned three times and had a long talk. Patriarch Qiu gave careful answers to his questions about the cure and the way of longevity. He was deeply respected by Genghis Khan, revered him as an 'immortal', made him 'in charge of the world's monks', and pardoned the taxes of the Taoist priests under the Quanzhen sect. Since then, I have sent to build a palace view, accept disciples, the wind is greatly inspired, the Quartet is full of admiration, and the apprentices gather. However, the good times did not last long, and later caused the Yuan Court to be suspicious due to its excessive influence. Buddha and Tao competed, and the imperial court favored the Buddha and degraded the Tao, so since the seventh generation of Zhang Zhijing, it has gradually declined. Now it is even more of a decay of the palace, the Taoist scriptures are lost, the Taoist system is lost, and it is becoming more and more difficult to cultivate the truth. After speaking, he couldn't stop sighing.

Ye Haotian saw that he was so pitiful, and wanted to return the scriptures left by Qiu Chuji to Wanshou Palace, so he said: "Master, I used to read a lot of books, and I once saw a scripture that seems to be related to the Quanzhen Sect, I will recite it, please see if it is useful." ”

"Really?" said Lao Dao, who agreed casually, not taking what he said to heart.

Ye Haotian smiled slightly, and began to recite the "Five Ancestors of the Northern Sect" he had just read from the beginning: "One by one, the origin of heaven and earth, and the ancestors...... The surname of the top is also lead, tiger, water, and gold......"

As soon as he heard this, Lao Dao was suddenly shocked: "This, this is the secret of this sect! Where did you get it?"

Ye Haotian didn't answer, but just recited all the way.

The more Lao Dao listened, the more shocked he became, his ears were like thunder, and his heart was beating wildly, "It's really the secret of this sect! I haven't even heard of the latter! Oh my God, the patriarch has a spirit! The patriarch has appeared!"

Ye Haotian didn't dare to accept his big gift, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Lao Dao refused to get up, and pleaded in his mouth: "Ask the immortal master to speak slowly, let the disciple write it down!" This is all a treasure book of our sect, a priceless treasure......" said he hurriedly looked for paper and pen.

When the pen and paper were brought in, Ye Haotian stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "I'll write it!" As for the advanced exercises, he was afraid that the ones he would pass on were not human, so he had reservations and was ready to inspect his character before teaching them.

Lao Dao held the notebook in his hand, his hands trembled, and he shouted: "Thank you Immortal Master!

Ye Haotian waved his hand, turned around and walked out.

When he went out, he saw dozens of Taoist priests in Wanshou Palace kneeling down.

Five miles away from Zhongnan Mountain, there is a Taiyi town.

Ye Haotian stood on the street, looking at the quiet and peaceful people coming and going, and felt like he had returned to his own home. His home is at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, and he also looks up at the mountain, towering into the clouds, looking around, the town is warm.

He was walking down the street, and soon he saw a teahouse, so he stepped in. There was a storytelling room in the teahouse, and there were forty or fifty people sitting in it. A storyteller was beating a drum at the front desk, waiting to speak.

Ye Haotian found a seat in the back row and sat down, Dr. Tea had just delivered the tea, and the storyteller had already started: "But it is said that in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Puzhou person surnamed Lu Mingyan, the word Dongbin, who failed to pass the scientific examination of the Jinshi three times, and came to Chang'an Liquor Store in frustration and met Zhong Liquan, a real person in Zhengyang. Seeing that he had a wisdom root, the real person recruited him to enter the Zhongnan Mountain, invited him to drink the wine of Shao Xianyuan and He, and then sat on the stone to talk about the Xuan, and taught him the twelve subjects of "Lingbao Bifa". A few years later, Lu Dongbin became an immortal and flew away. Then the storyteller entered the main topic: "Lu Dongbin flew the sword and cut the yellow dragon".

The story was told vividly, and Ye Haotian was also fascinated by it. After a long drum beat, the story ended, and everyone woke up like a dream.

Then the storyteller came over with a plate and asked everyone to give alms of silver, and at the same time took out a notice, saying that the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai in the town had recently fallen ill, and it was difficult to enter the water and rice, and she dreamed again and again.

Everyone talked about it, and each of them gave a few copper plates and left.

Ye Haotian saw the storyteller coming over and handed over five taels of silver.

The storyteller gave him a surprised look and quickly bowed down to thank him.

Ye Haotian saw that there was no one around, and asked, "I don't know where Zhang Yuanwai's family lives?"

The storyteller looked him up and down and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

Ye Haotian shook his head: "I have a few spells here to dispel illness and calm the nerves, and I am willing to give it a try." ”

The storyteller listened, and hurriedly packed up his props and led him forward.

Ye Haotian followed the storyteller for a short time and came to a large compound.

The storyteller knocked on the door and said that he had brought in a mage to heal the sick and exorcise evil spirits.

After a while, an old man with good facial features and an anxious expression walked out, and asked as he walked, "Where is the mage?" When he saw Ye Haotian so young, he didn't feel a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, people can't be good-looking, maybe this person really has the ability?" So he hurriedly invited to the hall and ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

After he sat down, he asked, "Which immortal mountain is the gentleman from?"

Ye Haotian bowed down and replied: "I am a disciple of Qingcheng below, who is not good at learning and knows a few ghost talismans." I heard that someone in your house is sick, and I just want to come and have a look, but I may not be able to do it. ”

Hearing that it was from Qingcheng Mountain, the old man immediately looked at him differently and said: "The mage is too modest! The little girl Chongyang climbed high and looked at the autumn, and when she came back, she couldn't afford to be sick. During the day, he does not cry or make trouble, and is drowsy. ”

"I don't know where Miss Chongyang has gone?"

The staff didn't know either, so they hurriedly summoned Yahuan to ask.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran out, glanced at Ye Haotian and said, "Miss and I just walked around the Baiyun Temple." ”

"Did you go in and burn incense?"

The little girl shook her head: "No." ”

"Have you ever seen anyone who behaves strangely?"

The little girl thought about it, but still shook her head: "There were a lot of people who climbed high to enjoy the autumn that day, and I didn't pay attention." ”

Ye Haotian nodded, and thought secretly: "Since there have been famous doctors to diagnose and treat, and the medicine stone has also been tried, I think it is not an ordinary disease, it is very similar to being riddled with monsters." He took into account that it was the woman who was sick and had not left the cabinet, so he said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Wait for the third watch in the middle of the night, and wait for me to take a closer look to see who the demon is." ”

"Do you want to set up an altar first?"

"No, let's see. ”

That night, Ye Haotian sat in the room next to the young lady's embroidery room, with a staff member and a family member behind him. The three of them quietly looked out the window.

After waiting for a long time, there was a sudden sound of "Bang, Bang, Bang" in the distance.

Just after the third watch, the bright moonlight suddenly dimmed, a cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled in the yard.

Ye Haotian said darkly: "It's here!" hurriedly took out the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, and used his strength to shine it towards the courtyard and the young lady's room. Everywhere the white light passed, I saw a black shadow standing in front of the young lady's window, and was about to enter through the window, but was frozen by the light emitted by the treasure mirror, and one foot was raised high and could not be put down.

Ye Haotian leaned out of the house, strengthened his skills to urge the Yin and Yang Treasure Mirror, and illuminated the courtyard as bright as day.

When he looked closely, the black shadow turned out to be a man in his thirties, dressed as a scholar, his face was pale, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he was anxious to escape, but he couldn't move a bit.

Ye Haotian shouted: "Where is the demon, where is the origin?

The black shadow screamed: "Immortal Master spare his life! Immortal Master spare his life! The little one is forced, and I have no choice but to do it!"

"Why do you look like a scholar?"

The dark shadow hesitated and replied, "Small...... This is a student of Huayin County, because of a Taoist dang, taking Jindan to death, the soul was accepted into the soul banner by the demon Dao, fifty years without seeing the sky, driven by the demon Dao at night, came out to steal Yuan Yin, for the demon Dao to practice. ”

Ye Haotian was annoyed when he heard this, and reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, "Where is the demon way?"

He is in the Baiyun Temple behind the mountain, known as Xuanyin Zhenren. ”

"Does the Demon Dao know you're here?"

"I don't know, he never asked me where I was going, he just gave me a jade bottle for me to come out and collect Yuan Yin. Every five watches, he recited a mantra to urge me to go back, and if he saw that the jade bottle was empty, he would kill me to death. As he spoke, the man took out the jade bottle and showed it to Ye Haotian, and begged in his mouth: "Immortal Master spare my life!

Ye Haotian shouted angrily: "Reading the book of sages, you should know the truth of 'rather than broken jade than complete tiles'! Your Excellency is worthy of being a saint if you help to abuse it!"

The man bowed his head, slightly ashamed.

Ye Haotian struck out a rune, turning the black shadow into a cloud, and shouted at the same time: "I read that you are still ashamed, I helped you solve the spell." Hurry up and report to the underworld, if you reform well, you will have the opportunity to be reincarnated as a human being!

The clouds and mist were blown away by a gust of wind, and a faint voice came from the air: "Thank you, Master......"

After a long time, Zhang Yuanwai and his family, who were standing in the window, came back to their senses: "It's done!

At this moment, a young lady's low voice came from inside the house: "Daddy......" The voice was weak, but it was clear and clear. The outsider was ecstatic and shouted, "My daughter is awake, my daughter is awake!"

It took Zhang Yuanwai for a long time to come out, and thanked Ye Haotian for his kindness: "Please go to the front court to serve tea, offer a thousand taels of silver, and hope that the master will smile!"

Ye Haotian entered the hall with him to talk, but said, "The silver will be free." Helping others upwards is what our generation should do. ”

"No! You must accept this money!"

Ye Haotian pushed it a few times and couldn't push it off, and when he saw that the old man was kind and kind, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "I have one thing, I want to ask the staff for a favor." ”

Zhang Yuanwai didn't know what was going on, but he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to agree immediately.

Ye Haotian said: "I was originally a scholar, my name is Li Hao, since the death of my parents, I have been wandering for many years, because I have no food and clothing, and I am temporarily accompanied by Taoists. When I saw the soul of the scholar just now, I suddenly had the idea of studying again to gain fame. However, my identity has been lost. Next year happens to be the year of Dabi, I want to take the scientific examination from scratch, can you guarantee me, just say that I am your nephew, help me register?"

Zhang Yuanwai applauded: "This is a good thing! It just so happens that the dog will also participate in the county's scientific examination next year, so you can recognize you as brothers and go together." After speaking, he hurriedly called his son, regardless of whether it was the dead of night or not.

When a young man came in, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, full of scholarly taste. After talking in a few words, Ye Haotian knew that the young man's name was Zhang Cheng, and he was seventeen years old this year. The two fell in love at first sight and had a good conversation. The family was beaming, and Ye Haotian was also happy, as if he had returned to his own home and found the joy he had not seen for a long time.

While he was talking happily, it was already dawn. I didn't sleep all night, and everyone was a little wilted.

Ye Haotian asked everyone to rest, and he wanted to go to Baiyun Temple.

He hiked up the mountain and arrived at Baiyun Temple an hour later. The Baiyun Temple is not large, and the exterior wall is still new, and it seems to have been newly built.

"I don't know what Xuan's skill is, what should I do now? Go in? Can I beat him? Retreat? Blindly retreat is never the way!" After a moment of hesitation, he turned his heart sideways and walked in with a sword in his hand.

The view is quiet, and there is no one.

"It's strange, the Great White Cloud Temple is empty!"

After searching for a long time, he found a secret door in the Dan's room. Push open the secret door and there is a secret room inside. An oil lamp was burning in the secret room. In the dim light, you can barely see what is inside.

As far as the eye can see, in the corner of the secret room, there is a red coffin!

Ye Haotian was taken aback, and suddenly took two steps back: "The enemy is here! The enemy of the Su family is actually here!"

When I looked closely, I found that the color of the coffin was much lighter than what I saw when the Su family destroyed the door, and the size was also smaller!

He was surprised in his heart, for fear that there was someone in the coffin, so he immediately gathered his strength and flew up, slashing at the coffin with a sword.

The coffin was broken in two, revealing a pile of gold-stamped jewels!

Turning over the lid of the coffin, there are several big characters engraved inside: "Three mountains and five mountains, monks and immortals, nine yin successes, and the world is unified." ”

He remembered the tragic situation of the Su family's annihilation, and couldn't help kicking the coffin to pieces, shaking his hands to put his belongings into the Qiankun Tips, and turning Baiyunguan into ashes with a fire.

He watched from afar for a day, and found no suspicious characters, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "Alas! I'm too impulsive! If I leave Baiyunguan, it might be a good clue." ”

Still, he got some useful information.

"The person in the coffin turned out to be from the Nine Yin Sect! The Nine Yin Sect is not small!"

He clearly remembered the scene of the Su family's annihilation, Sun Xianping's body was in a different place, and he only escaped from the Yuan Shen, which shows that the people in the coffin have extremely high skills, and they may still be above the master Qingyang Zhenren.

In contrast, he still has to work hard to cultivate, and he must reach the third realm of cultivation, that is, the realm of immortals, before he can be sure of revenge. However, his current strength has just reached the second level of the real human realm, and there are still sixteen heavens to climb in front of him, and he doesn't know how long he will be cultivating until what year or month!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

When Ye Haotian returned to Zhang's house, the family was waiting anxiously.

He didn't mention the coffin, but said, "The Taoist has fled." ”

Everyone was very uneasy: "Oh, what can I do then?"

Ye Haotian comforted everyone not to be nervous, and then asked Zhang Yuanwai to invite Mr. Storyteller, and told him that if someone asked, he would say that Miss was just an occasional illness, and now he has been cured with medicine.

Mr. Storyteller has been around for a long time, so he naturally knows the stakes and the stakes are the only ones at the moment.

Subsequently, Ye Haotian set up a large array in Zhang's Mansion that was more complex than the Chang'an Wang's family, and almost half of the room was included. He taught Zhang Cheng the method of walking through the large array, telling him that this large array is not afraid of ghosts, swords, soldiers, water and fire, and all personnel can hide in the formation in an emergency. As long as you store enough grain and dig a well, you can stay for a year and a half.

The crowd was hesitant at first, but it took a few tries to believe it.

Idle, Ye Haotian found a bronze furnace tripod, put ginseng, yellow essence, shou wu, turtle plate, deer antler, wolfberry, magnet, etc., first cremated with five thunder days to remove impurities, and then slowly exercised with three flavors of real fire, night after night, seven days later, Dan into 100 grains, big as longan, round and crystalline, the color is slightly yellow. It's a pity in his heart, this furnace pill can only be regarded as a high-grade product, if it can be pure white, it will be the best.

Immediately afterwards, he took ginseng, yellow berries, atractylodes, licorice, peony, lingzhi and other ingredients to refine a furnace of tonifying and benefiting qi pills, and this furnace of pills was refined very quickly, and it only took one day to complete. Dan is small in shape, black in color, and has about 200 grains. This is prepared for Qi refining, which can greatly replenish the vitality and is extremely beneficial to those who practice martial arts.

After that, he took a pill every night and continued to cultivate the Yuan Shen. His Yuan Infant has grown a lot, it is already close to four feet tall, and it seems that after taking the 100 Divine Pills, the Yuan Infant can grow to the size of the same body. At that time, you can practice the kung fu of "refining the gods and returning the void".

Travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books.

With Tongling Baoyu, only by moving around more will there be unexpected opportunities.

The weather gradually cooled down in October, and Ye Haotian set off again, heading east along the official road, and soon arrived in Luoyang, and then went to the foot of Wangwu Mountain.

Wangwu Mountain is known as "the first cave in the world", the main peak of the Temple of Heaven is 5,000 feet high, according to legend, it is the place where Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor set up an altar to worship the sky, and the world is called "the pillar of heaven and earth". Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in the first year of the first month of Jiazi in Wangwu Mountain set up an altar to worship the sky, unified China, three years later on August 15 and in Wangwu Mountain again to meet the Queen Mother of the West, enjoyed the fairy song and dance of the Heavenly Maiden Song Miaoying, tasted the Queen Mother of the West gave the elixir and jade liquid, at this time Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has achieved fame, very envious and yearning for the life of the gods in the sky, so in Wangwu Mountain to establish a petition courtyard, worship Guangchengzi as a teacher, and finally become an immortal. On the fifteenth day of August every year, all kinds of immortals and good people from all directions gather in Wangwu Mountain, and the total immortal palace here becomes "the place where the gods and immortals of the five mountains and four desecrations, ten major caves and thirty-six small caves are gathered". This year's court meeting has ended, but the Taoist priests on the mountain have not dispersed.

In view of the fact that there were too many cultivators on the mountain, Ye Haotian was unwilling to expose his true face to the eyes of everyone, so he took out his mask early and put it on.

Along the way, but see the peaks and peaks of Wangwu Mountain, the spirit is strong and majestic, the palace view is lined up, the spring and waterfall compete for the stream, and the trees are ancient and the stone is strange. Climb to the top, the mountain breeze blows, the sleeves flutter, look at the white clouds in the distance, the Yellow River is like a belt, the green trees are verdant, the scenery is picturesque, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, and suddenly opens up.

At the top of the Temple of Heaven there is "Lao Tzu Alchemy Pool". Legend has it that Taishang Laojun once made alchemy here.

Ye Haotian circled around the alchemy pool, trying to find out if the elixir that Lao Tzu had refined had missed one or two, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.

When he walked to a place more than 100 zhang away from Danchi, the Tongling Jade on his chest suddenly warmed up. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the heat source was located in a deep rock crevice on the edge of the cliff. He drew his sword and slashed at the surrounding rocks, revealing a swarthy object underneath. After cutting for another half a day, he dug up a seven-foot-sized turtle shell.

There were many people on the top of the mountain, and they all rushed over to watch. Many people saw that it was a turtle shell, and thought it was not strange, and after looking at it for a while, they dispersed.

Ye Haotian saw that the people around him were gone, so he carried the turtle shell on his shoulder, and left the top of the mountain to go to a deserted place. After walking for a long time, I came to an empty valley and stopped by a gurgling stream.

He first set up a simple formation around him, then washed the turtle shell in the stream, scraped off the floating dirt and dust on it with his sword, and finally spread it out on the grass to inspect it. I saw that the turtle shell was dark all over, but there was a palm-sized place in the middle that was silver-white and as smooth as a mirror.

He tapped the tortoise shell, and after only a few knocks, the silver-white tortoise shell in the middle suddenly fell off. He was amazed, so he picked some branches and made a fire on the ground, and put the tortoise shell on the fire to roast it. For a moment, the tortoise shell faintly emitted blue light, like a copper mirror.

When I got closer to watch, I saw the mist steaming and mist in the bronze mirror, and I didn't know what was inside.

He saw the statement "a hundred-year-old spirit turtle can be divined" more than once in the ancient books of the pre-Qin period. Such a huge turtle is afraid that it has lived for tens of thousands of years, and it came from the side of Lao Tzu's alchemy pool, maybe it has drunk the holy water and ascended. So this tortoiseshell should be extremely effective. The ancients burned tortoise shells on fire, and the future could be predicted through the changes in the cracks. He was familiar with 10,000 volumes and had some research on hexagrams.

"I probably haven't studied divination at home, but if the fortune teller who saved my life is here, maybe I'll be able to understand. Thinking like this, the turtle mirror in front of him suddenly changed, revealing the figure of the old man. The old man was pushing the compass in the room when he saw it, shaking his head as he pushed it, and he didn't know what to mutter. Ye Haotian wanted to see what kind of house it was. As a result, the turtle mirror turned around, and it had come to the outside of the house, and it seemed to be a small temple in front of it, and it was like a Taoist temple, there was no door plaque, and I didn't know what the place was. Standing farther away, the camera changed, and the surrounding area was full of woods. The tree is very green, not the pines and cypresses of the north, a bit of a Jiangnan water town. Ye Haotian still wanted to track it down, but the scene suddenly became very blurry, and then he couldn't see anything.

When I looked down, it turned out that there was not enough fire. He picked some pine branches and added them, and then tried to think about the day when the Su family was destroyed. After a while, the scene in the mirror reappeared. Two people carried a big red coffin, walked into Su's house, sprinkled medicinal powder inside and outside the door, one horse after another, and one family member after another all fell, and finally Sun Xianping died tragically.

Ye Haotian desperately wanted to see the situation inside the coffin, the mirror came to the top of the coffin, but he couldn't see the inside of the coffin, a cloud of yellow smoke shrouded the coffin. As soon as he turned around and came to the hall, his parents and the entire Su family fell to the ground. His heart ached, his vision blurred, and all the sights were gone. Only the wind blows the treetops, and the sunset is silent. The fire had been extinguished, and he felt a chill to his bones.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, he carefully put the tortoise mirror into the Qiankun bag, looked down and saw the remaining large piece of tortoise shell, so he drew his sword, wanting to chop the tortoise shell into pieces so that he could keep the alchemy. was chopping, suddenly a pale yellow bead fell to the ground, picked up and looked at it and found that it was about the size of a fingernail, crystal like jade, pinched and soft.

"Turtle Marrow Pill!" He suddenly remembered the elixir mentioned in the ancient book, and he was so excited that he almost screamed! This is an extremely rare thing for cultivating Yuan Ying, and it is said that one can be worth one Jiazi to practice. He searched carefully with trembling hands, and found five.

While he was excited, he suddenly heard a shrill voice: "Senior brother, where is that person?"

Ye Haotian looked up and found that it was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe who was speaking, standing ten zhang away at the moment.

"I saw him walking in this direction just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?" replied another man in a purple robe.

"In my opinion, I should have snatched the turtle shell just now. But you won't let it!" the yellow-robed man complained.

"There were too many people around just now, and it was too troublesome to grab it to attract the attention of others. ”

"What is the value of the turtle shell?"

The purple-robed Taoist shook his head: "I don't know either. However, the thousand-year-old turtle is a treasure, especially near the Laozi Alchemy Pool, and it is worth a lot of money. ”

Ye Haotian saw that the two of them were close at hand but couldn't see himself, and he knew in his heart that the formation must have worked, so he silently watched the changes.

After a while, I heard the purple-robed man say: "It's really strange! The brothers under the mountain sent a message, but they didn't see the man coming down the mountain, so why can't they find it? Could it be that there is some cave nearby?"

The two of them stood there and looked around, but they still didn't find anything for a long time.

The yellow-robed man was tired of searching, and muttered in his mouth: "Senior brother, go back, can you use it after searching so hard?"

The purple-clothed man glared at him, and said with a cruel smile: "Hmm, how did the palace master explain it?

Ye Haotian's heart moved: "Why are you the minions of the Nine Yin Sect again? The power is not small, and the wings have actually extended to Wangwu Mountain." ”

The yellow-robed man knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted, "Senior brother spare your life, senior brother spare your life!"

The man in purple looked at him with a gloomy face for a long time, then snorted, picked up his sword and cut off his left arm, and said coldly: "Leave a mark for you first! See if you dare to commit it again in the future! Get up, don't pretend to be dead here! You and I went to look for it separately, the man had a gray face and was carrying a turtle shell, which was very easy to identify. ”

The yellow-robed man was so pained that tears flowed down, and he stretched out his fingers to stop the bleeding while walking away.

Ye Haotian didn't know what the other party's skills were, let alone whether there were any masters around, so he decided to let them walk.

After a while, he put on another pale-faced mask and began to walk down the mountain. As he walked along the road, he found two people standing there at every pass, staring at the people coming down the mountain.

The men only glanced at him, and saw that he didn't look right, and that he was not the person they were looking for, so they quickly turned their faces away.

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Ye Haotian was very excited to urge the horse to go south. As a top priority, he needed to find a secluded and uninhabited place to take the Turtle Marrow Pill. With such a rare item, it is difficult to tell what will happen after taking it. If it is a long roar in the sky, or a manic rage, it will not only disturb the surrounding people, but also attract the attention of the cultivators, bringing unnecessary trouble.

His luck was good, and it didn't take long for him to really find a place where no one was.

Five hundred miles southeast of Wangwu Mountain, there is a wasteland formed by the flooding and silting of the Yellow River, which is 800 miles long and more than 200 miles wide, overgrown with weeds and uninhabited. Due to the swamps, ordinary people cannot gain a foothold. Immortals and Buddhas don't want to go, they only like famous mountains and rivers, caves and blessed lands, where are they willing to go to that kind of muddy and dirty place?

Ye Haotian decided to go there to cultivate the Yuan Shen and the Immortal Sword.

He first placed his horses in the market, bought snacks, water and clothes, and then went to a nearby hill to pack tens of thousands of rocks with Qiankun tips, and then walked to the depths of Daze. He unfolded his skills and swept over the tips of the grass, and soon came to the center of Daze, found a slightly higher place to throw down the boulders, set up a platform with a length and width of dozens of zhang, and used stones and weeds to set up a large array of four squares and four corners of the Qimen Nine Palaces with great care, and hid all the platforms.

When everything was ready, he took out the jade heart and sat on it, then took a turtle marrow pill and devoted himself to cultivating the Yuan Shen. After a night's work, Yuan Ying grew more than a foot taller, and was already five feet tall. It seems that the turtle marrow pill is really effective!

He drank some water and took another turtle marrow pill. This practice lasted for three days and three nights. Yuan Ying has grown a little taller and is already able to speak, and his voice is as timid as a child.

When he took the third Turtle Marrow Pill, he sat quietly for nine days and nine nights, and this time the Yuan Infant finally grew to the size of his body, and his appearance was exactly the same as him, but his face was whiter and tenderer.

After that, he didn't take Dan again, but just urged Yuan Ying to practice Qingcheng swordsmanship. After another half moon, Yuan Ying could finally release the flying sword, the sword light was like silver, like a silver snake hovering at low altitude. After another ten days, Yuan Ying's control over the flying sword had reached the point where he could send and receive it freely. At this time, his skill had jumped to the ninth level of the real human realm, and he was afraid that it was even higher than the skill of his master Qingyang Zhenren. Due to the subsidy of medicine and his extraordinary wisdom, in just two years, his skill has reached the three hundred years of ordinary people's cultivation, and he is only one step away from reaching the immortal realm.

The next thing to practice is the fusion of the original god and the flying sword and the flight of the main body, which is the first step to achieve the ascension of the white sky.

He practiced persistently for several days, failing hundreds of times in a row, without a single success. Even if you reluctantly attach the Yuan Ying to the flying sword, it will quickly separate, not to mention the whole person Edgeworth flight.

It seems that everything should not be rushed, and when encountering difficulties, we must think of other ways.

It was the middle of December. Facing the wilderness without people, he practiced alone for dozens of days, and he felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart, wanting to find a warm place to spend the Spring Festival.

But where should he go, who has no relatives in the world?
