Chapter 13 The Secret Realm in the Sea
Qian Chen came slowly in the clouds and was discovered just within a radius of a hundred miles of the deserted island.
When the visitor saw him riding on the clouds, he seemed quite surprised. He set up a flying escape weapon from afar and greeted him, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist is so nervous. Could it be that he was also a fellow invited by Mr. Fan?"
Qian Chen smiled slightly and said, "It was the invitation!"
The Taoist waved the whisk in his hand again, bowed, and said, "I am Zuo Yuan, the master of the Golden Rooster Temple in the Archipelago. When he saw fellow Taoists coming on auspicious clouds, he was very elegant and had the heart to make friends."
Qian Chen saw that he wore a three-beam crown on his head, a water and fire Taoist robe, a cloud shoes on his feet, dressed up in a dress, and even his magical instruments, all of which were in line with the rules of the Taoist court.
Although the immortal Tao was opened by the three Taoist ancestors, all the monks claimed to be Taoist practitioners and often dressed up as Taoist priests, only those with such rigorous rules were rules that only those under the Taoist sect received by Yuanshi Taoist disciples and Taoist sects had.
But seeing the magic power above his head dispersed but not condensed, mixed but not pure, I couldn't help but curiously said, "I believe that my fellow Taoists are rigorous in law and seem to have received rituals. Could it be that the Golden Rooster Temple is actually a jungle of the Taoist sect?"
Taoist Zuo Yuan turned red and said timidly: "I am considering the Taoist sect, but I am not lucky enough to worship under the sect!"
Qian Chen asked this so scared that he didn't dare to call himself a poor person anymore!
It turned out to be a fan of Taoist sect! Qian Chen suddenly realized it in his heart.
Zuo Yuan hurriedly explained: "I see the "Sutra of the Taoist Ancestor of Lingbao" that those who admire the great Taoist Xuanmen should be considered as a member of the Taoist Sect as long as they uphold the precepts, practice for more than ten years, take refuge in the Taoist Sect, and write to the divine talisman to report to the Three Pure Land, they can be considered as a member of the Taoist Sect. They cannot forbiddenly practice by themselves! There is no need to give the talisman to consecrate!"
Qian Chen took the method of looking at the Qiyun Lingyun above his head and found that there was a magic talisman floating in it, suppressing a wisp of clear energy.
When he heard the tone in his words, even he didn't believe it, he felt guilty and short-sighed.
But this is actually true!
With several Taoist scriptures and keeping precepts for many years, this person has already cultivated a sense of Taoism. Although his magic power is still a side sect and his qualifications are not very good, he has been included in the Taoist sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect
It’s shameful to say that Qian Chen, as a Taoist disciple with a strong roots, has never converted to Taoist scriptures.
He was the supreme all day long, and the old man shouted at the mouth, obviously he had no respect for the three Taoist ancestors. Although he often read the Taoist scriptures, most of them only comprehend the myths of the great Tao contained in the sutras. When he encountered conflicts with his own ideas, he would secretly refute them after the three scrutiny, and there was no real faith.
As for those fundamental scriptures, they were copied from his memories. Every time they read them, they would laugh at this guy secretly.
The Taoist rituals and precepts were swept away and didn't care at all.
He has also read the "Sutra of the Taoist Ancestor of Lingbao" and has a lot of insights into the mysterious principles of the Tao, the changes in the vitality, and even the spiritual nature of the Tao. However, the parts of keeping precepts, taking refuge, red books, yellow talismans, Taoist talismans, and rituals are never carefully studied.
However, I didn't expect that when I met a true Taoist believer, I realized that what Taoist said was to open up the road and save sentient beings.
It is rare to see such a Taoist, how can he not behave properly?
Qian Chen formed Tai Chi seals with both hands, and a round hand seal as if it was as beautiful as a bead, saying: "The Taoist fellow said nothing... I have seen the Taoist fellow Taoist fellow Taoist!"
Tai Chi, Tao Yi, and Lingbao three seals represent the three branches of Taoist Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao, and the hand seal behind represents the identity of a certain direct descendant.
Shaoqing Sword Sect is a sword pointer, and the first one is a scroll, representing its inheritance of the Lingbao Shaoqing Sword and the List of the Gods.
The seal that Qian Chen finally made of the Dao representing the Dao of Lou Guan, Hunyuan Ruzhu, is naturally the symbol of Qian Chen's original Dao Dust Bead.
It can be said that these two handprints have already told Qian Chen's identity calmly, which is a ritual that only true Taoist disciples have when they meet.
The Taoist Zuo Yuan didn't know these secrets, but he was very happy to see Qian Chen giving a serious greeting. After the two of them politely spoke, Qian Chen asked him to go to the clouds and landed towards the island.
After arriving on the island, there was nothing to entertain except for a white-haired hunchbacked old man next to Fan Cunlu who came up to greet him, said a few words, and asked Qian Chen to wait again.
It was the Taoist priest Zuo Yuan who introduced several fellow Taoists to Qian Chen, all of whom were cultivators at the level of Dharma.
Either it is a master of Dharma-savvy who is as aware as Zuo Yuan, has a family and a career, and even his own sect is under the nose of the Baizhou Chamber of Commerce, or it is an inner disciple of the Luo Zhenxian Sect where Fan Cunlu is located.
Qian Chen was not the latest one. Fan Cunlu and the two old servants did not mean to set off immediately, but glanced at the distance from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
Qian Chen found a quiet place to sit cross-legged and waited for his departure.
However, the elder Taoist Zuo also came over and said with a smile: "When I stood down the mountain gate of the Golden Rooster Temple, I owed a lot of favor to Baizhouhaihui. Therefore, even if I know that Mr. Fan has a big plan, I have to flow into this muddy water! Baizhouhaihui is doing a great business, and I don't know what danger I have found this time, and I have to rely on our power."
"But I think of it, Mr. Fan is afraid that he can't believe me. He must have invited someone from Luo Zhenxian Sect to the Lord..."
"I am a casual cultivator from Middle Earth. I don't know much about this place when I am new to overseas. What kind of sect is Luo Zhenxian Sect?" Qian Chen asked with a smile.
"The Luo Zhen Immortal Sect is one of the great leaders of the Baizhou Haihui Association. The Fan family has had disciples from generation to generation and there are also quite a few forces in it. They are one of the sixteenth families of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect. They have joined the command of the Luo family earlier. However, since fellow Taoists are from Middle-earth people, why did they make trouble in this mess?"
Zuo Yuanye Dao asked with his beard and stared at him.
Qian Chen smiled slightly and said, "I once paid a lot of money to buy a clue of spiritual roots. Fan Shaodong told me that there might be a spiritual root here, so I came!"
"It turns out that fellow Taoist is killing the Li brothers!"
The elder Taoist Zuo opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. At this moment, a line of spiritual light surged in the west sky, coming very quickly. With a few trembling sounds, a cloud step came over.
A monk in front of him was wearing a brocade robe, wearing a tall crown, and crossing the cloud steps with several monks who practiced the Dharma. He stood tall and proudly glanced at the people below.
Fan Cunlu hurriedly brought the two old servants to greet him: "Uncle Master!"
"Mr. Fan! My move this time is just for the Dou Yun Jing Sand you promised. Therefore, it is okay to help you deal with a few casual cultivators, and it is okay to remove the black dragon... But if you want me to risk my life and help you do things, then Master. I can only say sorry!"
The monk on Yuntou said coldly.
Fan Cunlu said yes, but said that he had already accepted the favor once his uncle took action and did not dare to ask for anything else.
The monk then relaxed his expression a little, his face relaxed a little, and he said, "I have always been uglier in front of me. Although the uncle's words were a little ugly, every sentence was sincere. Moreover, he never broke his promises about anything I said. This time, he brought these disciples out and found other reasons. The nephew didn't have to worry about the news leaking!"
Zuo Yuan Lao Dao secretly smacked his tongue next to him and whispered to Qian Chen: "No wonder this real person is willing to sell it. Yun Jing Sand is a treasure for refining cloud-forbidden magic weapons. A bucket of Yun Jing Sand is afraid that it will be enough to refine two or three magic weapons. If it is added to that cloud level, it will be enough to improve its texture by a large level. In other words, fellow Taoist was deceived by a few words. It would be a loss!"
Qian Chen smiled and said, "I am just a mere Dharma monk. How dare I compare with Jiedan Zhenren."
The elder Taoist Zuo endured it for a long time before he could not help but quietly said, "But I see that the cloud color that the fellow Taoist drives is even more high-quality than this cloud stairs. Don't look at the moment when this treasure comes and the powerful momentum. In fact, the fellow Taoist's cloud-forbidden magic weapon can obtain the essence of the clear spirit of the cloud stairs! Yun Ban... It's not about who flies fast and loud, but about who flies high!"
"In this way, fellow Taoist may not lose to him!"
Qian Chen smiled without saying a word. This old Taoist is a rare ancient monk overseas. It is not accidental to see some clues...
After the arrival of Jiedan Zhenren from Naluo Zhenxian Sect, Fan Cunlu finally set off with everyone!
He opened his hand and played a jade plaque. A mirage dragon carved on the plaque exuded a strong radiance and enveloped everyone.
The mirage blurred everyone's figures, causing the light and shadow of dozens of people to distort and disappear out of thin air on the sea.
Under the cover of the mirage, not only did the people outside lose the traces of Qian Chen and others, but even the spiritual consciousness of many monks in the mirage was difficult to spy on the outside world.
When the spiritual consciousness touches the mirage, it will be distorted by the illusion in it. This magic weapon can transmit and receive illusion and conceal its spiritual consciousness, but it is of great quality.
"I heard that there are mirage dragons overseas, and the mirage they swallowed and sucked can even transform into a sea country. Many monks who accidentally entered it often got married and had children in the sea country. Only when the mirage dragon left did they realize that it was a dream!"
"But such a mirage demon's Taoist practice is comparable to a primordial spirit, and this jade plaque should be refined by the clam shell of the mirage demon cultivated by the giant clam in the sea. This mirage is relatively shallow, and the spiritual consciousness of the elixir monk cannot be covered and distorted!"
Qian Chen reached out to get a little mirage and realized the illusion.
He easily transformed this mirage into a fake body and left it in place. His real body ran out of the range covered by the mirage, and drove the clouds above everyone's heads, flying slowly. While watching the surrounding scenery, he was breathing through the air!
These people flew for more than a day before they saw the sky in the distance.
I saw a dark and deep sea area between the sea and the sky, which was pitch black and deep, and it was not a good place to look at it.
Qian Chen explored his spiritual sense and found that the dark colors were stained by the black rocks in the sea through the water surface. It turned out that under the sea, which is a hundred miles acres, there are an extinct volcano under the water, only a few feet away from the sea surface.
When Fan Cunlu arrived at this sea surface, the mirage was dissipated and said, "Everyone! We're here!"
Everyone looked at the sea area below and their faces were different. The Jiedan Zhenren of the Luo Zhenxian Sect looked around and suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be a quiet fire cave under the sea. If the fire veins were still there, it could be used to refine magic weapons. Although it is silent now, in my opinion, the fire cave still has a little vitality. I am afraid that it will be active again in ten thousand years, erupt, raise the land, and form an island."
"If we can wait until then, this place will be an excellent place to practice!"
"Uncle Master is joking!" Fan Cunlu smiled apologized and said, "Who can live until ten thousand years later? There is another mystery here. Please come with me!"
Everyone followed him to the edge of a cave in the Black Sea. The cave entrance was dark blue and round and neatly mixed, just like an eye in the black sea. The cave entrance was a hundred feet in diameter, and it should be the crater of the volcano underwater.
Fan Cunlu didn't know what touched him, but saw the blue cave suddenly surging undercurrents, and thunderous sounds came from the ground, and the sea water in the cave suddenly turned into a sea current and gushed out.
The huge water column soared into the sky, reaching a thousand feet high. The back half of the water column contained great heat, and the sea water had already evaporated into water vapor.
At this time, Fan Cunlu shouted: "The passage has been opened, please follow me to jump in!"
The original blue hole has turned into a deep and bottomless cave, and the surrounding sea water poured into the cave, gradually forming a huge vortex.
Chapter completed!
