As the sky gets brighter.
Everyone in the mountain temple was thankful and happy at this moment. They finally survived a very dangerous night. If it weren't for Li Yi's existence, Old Liu Tou believed that most of them would have been just like those before, and they would have been as bizarre as those before.
Disappear and die in this wilderness.
After what happened last night, everyone was extremely respectful to Li Yi, thinking that he was an expert in magic. As long as he was around, the ghosts and spirits in the mountains and forests would not dare to approach.
"Taoist Priest, it's daybreak, should we continue on our way? If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the three crossings ahead, and I'll have to stay in the wilderness for one night. With Taoist Priest's ability, I don't have to worry, but
We are mortal in the flesh, but we dare not take risks."
After everything was settled, Old Liu Tou came to Li Yi respectfully and asked.
Others also looked at Li Yi eagerly, hoping that the Taoist priest could go with them. In this way, the rest of the journey would definitely be very safe, and they would no longer have to worry about accidents.
Li Yi slowly opened his eyes at this moment. After finishing his practice for the day, he said, "Do you want me to protect you?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I just want to follow the Taoist priest for a while and get into the Taoist priest's glory." Old Liu Tou said hurriedly.
Li Yi looked at the statues in the temple and said, "Speaking of which, I am partly responsible for the danger you encountered last night. Anyway, I don't have a fixed place to live, so I will just go with you wherever I go."
As soon as these words came out, the scholar Lu Yue and several other pedestrians were overjoyed.
"Taoist Master, I'm so kind and grateful." Old Liu Tou gave him a polite salute.
"There is no need to be so polite. Since everything is ready, let's go." Li Yi stood up, patted his robe, and walked towards the outside of the mountain temple without any delay.
At this moment, the sun was rising, the mountains and fields were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the green hills in the distance were undulating. As he breathed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered towards him as quickly as possible, which made his body feel comfortable and his mind refreshed.
Although the cosmic energy here is average, as long as there is no pollution, the speed of cultivation will not be slow.
It's just that Li Yi hasn't opened the fourteenth acupoint yet, and he can't absorb the golden energy of heaven and earth into the lung acupoints. But after a night of practice, he has made some progress, but it still needs time to practice, but he wants to work with this
Get acquainted with people in the world's practice and see what the world's practice is like and see if it can help you.
Follow Li Yi stepping out of the temple.
Old Liu Tou hurriedly asked others to follow and not to fall behind.
Li Yi's steps are strong and his body is light. Although he is just going down the steps, it feels like he is about to fly into the sky at any time. There is an indescribable sense of agility, but if he is walking on flat ground, his steps are
Like a dragon or a tiger, there is a great majesty between looking and looking, which is intimidating.
Yesterday evening, everyone could not see clearly. Only after daylight did they realize how graceful and extraordinary the Taoist in front of them was.
Everyone went down the mountain along the mountain path. There was really no danger on the way, and they didn't even hear some wild beasts turning corners in the mountains.
"Old Liu Tou, look at that mountain."
Suddenly, the scholar Lu Yue saw something, his face changed, he hurriedly walked a few steps and pulled Lao Liu's head in front of him, pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said, "That mountain shouldn't have looked like that yesterday."
Old Liu Tou looked away, but then he was startled, with a look of horror in his eyes.
But I saw that the originally good mountain peak had a crack in the middle. The crack ran through the mountain, neatly and straightly, as if someone had used some magical weapon to cut it open, and the crack continued from the mountain peak.
It continued to the foot of the mountain, and finally came to the mountain temple behind it.
"That mountain peak must have been split open by thunder and lightning when Taoist Master Taiyi was subduing demons last night." He was very sure, but also said with a bit of panic: "The rumbling sound last night was the rocks rolling down.
No wonder all the ghosts and ghosts disappeared after the Taoist Master took action. After seeing this scene, how dare you stay here."
Lu Yue looked at it again, and was also shocked: "From the top of the mountain to the mountain temple, although it looks close, it is at least ten miles. Can the mountain be split open at such a long distance? Are they really human?"
Old Liu Tou also remained silent. He had never seen such an outrageous thing in his life, and he had just seen it today.
As the group of people descended the mountain, they came to the main road.
Although it is a highway, it is easy to lose your way while walking on it, because the ancient trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, and there are weeds all around. With the line of sight blocked, you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Occasionally, you encounter a forest.
You don’t even know where the forks in the road lead.
There are no signboards or signs on the road.
If you want to cross this land smoothly, an experienced guide is indispensable. Passers-by only need to raise a small sum of money to hire someone like Lao Liutou to guide them out of here smoothly and avoid getting lost.
There are risks. Of course, there are also those who are brave enough to go there by themselves without inviting anyone, but whether they can get out smoothly is not known.
So, everyone didn't say anything and just kept busy on their way.
Because it’s easy to lose your breath when talking, which consumes your energy. If you don’t have the strength to keep up and fall behind, no one will be willing to stand there waiting for you.
I have to say that people in this world have really good physical strength. After walking for more than ten kilometers, no one stopped, not even the two women said they were tired.
"The ancient trees here are towering, the mountains are undulating, and the spiritual veins are hidden. I don't know how many spirits are nourished here. Although it is a bit dangerous for ordinary people, it is very suitable for me to collect wood energy here." Li Yi was looking around at the moment.
I have marked the situation in my mind, which may be used in the future.
Walked some distance again.
By this time everyone was a little tired.
But Old Liu Tou shouted: "We are about to pass three crossings ahead, and after passing there we will enter the boundary of Xinzhou. Everyone, work harder, don't rest, and cross over while the sun is shining brightly at noon."
Everyone was refreshed and quickly quickened their pace.
Although I have heard about the danger of Three Crossing before, this is my first time after all. No one knows what the situation is ahead, but the guides here say that it is not good there. There must be a reason. Although there are
The Taoist priest clears the way, but they still don't want to encounter anything strange. After all, the Taoist priest is an expert and they are not.
Li Yi also saw the so-called three gates at this moment.
Really dangerous.
A road suddenly narrowed and penetrated into the mountain forest. The surrounding light dimmed instantly, and the middle of the road was wrapped by three mountains. This made the road winding and tortuous, making it impossible to see clearly what was ahead. In addition,
Outside, the main road is divided into two, and there are many branch roads on the left and right.
Each of those forked roads leads into the dense forest, some are shortcuts around the mountains, and some are unknown ancient roads.
If you fall into it by mistake, it will be easy to get in but difficult to get out.
"Woo!"
Waves of wet and cold wind blew from the mountain stream, and strange sounds continued.
Fortunately it was daytime. If it were nighttime, if I were frightened and panicked, who would know where I would go.
But at this moment, the older woman in the team was walking, and her body suddenly softened, as if all the strength in her body had been taken away, her eyes rolled up and she fell to the ground, walking beside her.
The young girl saw this scene and hurriedly helped her, but to no avail.
Soon, the older woman was lying on the ground unconscious.
"No, it's not good, she fainted." The girl shouted hurriedly.
Old Liu Tou, Lu Yue, and two other pedestrians in front stopped and looked back.
Old Liutou's expression changed and he hurriedly turned back to take a look, and immediately said: "This lady is suffering from heatstroke. She might die."
"How could someone suffer from heatstroke in such a cool mountain stream?" A pedestrian on the side said in surprise: "Maybe he is possessed by evil spirits."
"Heat stroke can be divided into hot and cold. I'm not wrong. This lady is suffering from cold and heat. She was walking hurriedly before, and she was sweating. Now she was hit by the cold wind of the mountain stream, and she was hit by cold and heat.
When you get sick, the sweat is trapped in the body and cannot come out, and you will collapse to the ground immediately. This disease is very serious, and if you don't get treatment, you will die quickly."
Old Liu Tou said: "The year before last, I saw a few passers-by, and they also walked to Sandaokou. Because I was thirsty, I drank a few sips of spring water from the mountain stream. As soon as the cold hit me, I fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Although
People carried it out of here, but they died not long after entering the boundary of Shinshu."
"Then do you have any way to save me?"
Scholar Lu Yue asked hurriedly: "We can't watch this lady die in this barren mountain. It's not easy for everyone when she is away from home."
Lao Liutou shook his head and said: "I don't know how to rescue, but there is another leader, Lao Gen, who can rescue. But he has led a group of people to leave this area two days ago, so it is not easy to encounter him."
"It's nothing. Her blood and energy are blocked. It'll be clear once it's cleared." Suddenly, Li Yi turned around and walked over. His eyes were shining brightly and he looked at her slightly.
"Taoist Priest, do you know how to heal?" Old Liu Tou said in surprise.
Li Yi said: "I don't understand. I have only learned a few small spells and practiced a little boxing and kicking. I have never learned any medical skills. However, pain seems complicated, but it is actually simple. It is nothing more than lack of Qi and blood and stasis of Qi and blood.
"
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger, then adjusted his blood, and an invisible wisp of blood wrapped around his fingertips.
Then he flicked his finger, and this ray of energy and blood entered the woman's body.
Moisturized by this ray of qi and blood, the woman's meridians were all opened in an instant, her qi and blood were strong, a puff of turbid air came out of her mouth, and she quickly opened her eyes and woke up.
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for your life-saving grace." After the woman woke up, she immediately regained her strength and said very gratefully.
"You really have to thank the Taoist priest, otherwise you would never be able to get out of these three crossings, and you would definitely become a withered skeleton on the roadside." Old Liu Tou said with emotion.
It's so difficult to go out, and if you encounter a sudden illness, you have to die outside, and you can't survive at all.
Li Yi just smiled: "It's okay, I'll open up all your meridians with a ray of energy and blood, and keep that ray of energy and blood in your body. If you don't encounter any danger in the future, I will ensure that all your diseases will be eliminated.
Prolong life.”
"Is there such a thing?" Everyone was filled with envy upon hearing this.
The woman was surprised, but she really felt a warm current flowing through her body. She was weak and weak just now, but now she was full of energy and seemed to have no problem driving another twenty miles.
Li Yigang was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly saw wisps of invisible aura from these people gathering towards him.
"This is."
He was a little curious and reached out to try to grab it, but he couldn't touch it.
This breath is not essence or spiritual energy, but rather a kind of power of belief.
Although the power of this belief is very weak, after it gathered on Li Yi, it was as if he had a thought. The surrounding auras of heaven and earth were attracted by the power of this belief and poured into his body on its own.
Such a scene is somewhat similar to the mountain god statue seen in the mountain temple.
"It's just the belief blessing of five or six people that has made such a change in me. What would happen if there were thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people's belief blessing?" Li Yi looked startled. He seemed to have no intention.
I came into contact with the way of practice in this world.
Moreover, there must be a system for this way of practice, and the statue of the god is the best proof.
"Perhaps we should go to a more prosperous place with more people."
Then he had some ideas.
Because the more people there are, the more opportunities there are to acquire faith, and the stronger the power of faith.
But how to obtain the power of belief still needs further study.
After curing the woman, everyone continued on their way.
Although these three crossings were dangerous, with Li Yi opening the way and Old Liu Tou as the leader, we did not encounter any danger. It took about half an hour to successfully cross the mountain stream.
After leaving the mountain stream, the further you go, the flatter the terrain becomes.
Gradually they walked out of the mountains and fields. At the same time, other pedestrians began to appear on the road. They gathered from other mountain trails and were all heading in the same direction.
With the popularity, everyone's nervous mood has obviously relaxed a lot, at least they don't have to worry about encountering mountain spirits again.
But we didn't go far.
There is a boundary monument beside the avenue, with the word "Xinzhou" written on it. However, Li Yi did not know the characters, so he learned this from the scholar Lu Yue.
There is also a small temple a few dozen meters in front of the boundary monument.
"That's the Tutu Temple in Xinzhou. After worshiping at the Tutu Temple and offering incense, you will enter the territory of Xinzhou. My job as a guide is now complete." Old Liu Tou showed a smile at this moment.
The Tutu Temple is not big, but there are many people sitting nearby.
There are businessmen coming and going to rest, and there are also guides and other work. In addition, there are herbal tea sheds and noodle shops on the left and right.
Several people came to the Earth Temple and took three free incense sticks. After lighting them, they sincerely offered the incense, and then paid the remaining money to Old Liu Tou according to the price agreed in advance.
But Li Yi was standing in front of the Tutu Temple at this moment, looking at the statue in the Tutu Temple.
There was a lot of incense in front of the statue, but the statue was emitting brilliance. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth nearby gathered together, and a human figure appeared vaguely.
At this moment, the clay statue seemed to come alive, and a pair of eyes stared at Li Yi as if sizing him up.
"Faith, incense, statues? That's it." Li Yi thought thoughtfully.
Offering incense is actually just a form, but the belief that people have during the process of offering incense is very important. After obtaining the statue of the god, it can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, and under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the statue of the god will have cultivation and
strength.
However, the idol is nothing more than a clay sculpture. Even with the blessing of faith and the gathering of spiritual energy, it is impossible to manifest a human form.
Unless there is a soul residing in the statue, only in this way can we gain the blessing of faith and strengthen our practice.
Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly smiled, because he could now be sure that his father must be living well in this world, because a soul-level evolver came across the border. If he couldn't find a physical body, he could
Parasitizing in the statue of the god, relying on the blessing of the faith of all living beings to maintain the survival of the soul, and then absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen itself.
Therefore, this is a very suitable place for soul cultivation.
"What kind of Taoist from the mountains and wilds comes to my temple, neither offers incense, kneels down, and doesn't leave? What's the point? Isn't it because he wants to offer incense to me? Get out of here quickly, otherwise I will arrest your soul."
Suddenly.
At this time, someone suddenly drank, and then an illusory figure slowly floated out from the statue.
The figure looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a loose robe, with a sallow complexion, eyes wide open, and very dignified.
"With the blessing of faith and the gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the soul can indeed separate from the body and remain in heaven and earth forever." Li Yi's eyes moved slightly at this moment: "This way of practice is indeed very special and unique."
When he spoke, he also attracted the attention of others around him.
Many people thought that this man was crazy for talking to a statue of a god.
Because in the eyes of ordinary people, they are invisible to the earth god. After all, soul, belief, aura, these things can only be seen by a spiritual medium.
"You are still talking nonsense here and you are putting this god in your eyes. Let me teach you, a wild Taoist, some lessons and let you know how powerful this god is." The middle-aged earth god was furious. He grabbed his hand and pulled it from his waist.
Suddenly he took out a whip.
The whip was condensed with some evil energy, and combined with the essence of the sun and the moon, it exuded brilliance and looked very extraordinary.
The Earth God waved the whip in his hand and whipped Li Yi.
This whip is called the Soul Beating Whip. It does not hurt the body, but specifically hurts the soul.
If ordinary people receive this whip, their souls will be severely damaged, and they will either fall into a coma or become stupid, unable to be saved by any medicine or stone.
But the next moment.
Something happened that shocked the land god. He saw a cloud of crimson cloud rising from Li Yi's body. When the soul-beating whip hit it, it was as if it had encountered a raging fire. It actually burned in an instant.
The red glow was extremely hot, burning towards him along the Soul Beating Whip. Before it even got close, his palms were burnt to black.
"What kind of magic is this?" The Earth God was shocked, dropped his whip in a hurry, and backed away.
"What a weak god, he can't even bear the energy of the inner fire." Li Yi said.
However, the Qi of his Heart Fire is the most powerful against souls. As for existences such as Yuanshen, a practitioner's Nascent Soul will turn into ashes when burned by the Qi of the Heart Fire, let alone a small hairy god.
What a weak god?
The Earth God was frightened and frightened at this moment: "Wild Taoist, don't try to be cruel. This is the border of Xinzhou, and there are countless gods worshiped. If you dare to take action, you will not survive tonight."
"I don't have much ability, my tone is not small, I have been worshiped for a long time, do I really think that I am a high-level god? It's just a dead soul who was lucky enough to live in the statue of the god, and received the blessing of faith, and it became a bit of a climate. Today
I will also give you a lesson so that you can learn how to behave." After Li Yi said this, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Boom!
Thunder rang out on the ground, and in an instant, a silver bolt of thunder fell from the sky and struck the statue of the earth god accurately.
The statue suddenly shattered and collapsed, turning into a pile of mud.
Others nearby were shocked when they saw this.
They looked at the statue of the earth god and then at the top of their heads. They all looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
"It's that silver lightning again"
Only old Liu Tou, scholar Lu Yue, and several other people who were traveling with him knew some of the reasons after seeing this scene.
They all looked at Li Yi.
I don’t understand why the Taoist priest used thunder to destroy the statues in the Tutu Temple.
Chapter completed!
