Chapter 237 The former number one religion fell into decline
Green mountains and green waters, cool breeze blowing on your face.
In a pavilion, Xiang Ying tilted his head and watched Xu Mo practice. Xu Mo took a deep breath and the airflow from tens of feet around him gathered. However, this gathering was not wind, but spiritual energy.
Even though the spiritual energy in the air is thin, it can't cover the area in one breath, like a terrifying vacuum cleaner.
If Xuan Zhenzi were present, he would definitely exclaim that the Second Ancestor had actually mastered the "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi" to the point where he was so proficient that he could break the mirror at its peak.
In addition, Xu Mo placed his hands on the Dantian area of his lower abdomen, hugging Yuan Shouyi.
The left hand is on top and the right hand is on the bottom, representing the power of heaven and earth. The palm fingers are slightly curved, pregnant with the spirit of the universe.
This is also the training technique of "Eight Scenery Divine Platform".
"What kind of skill are you practicing? It's so weird, it can actually take away the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Xiang Ying was shocked. She has been practicing for six hundred years and is stuck under the bottleneck of demons and immortals. Naturally, she has a very high level of knowledge in cultivation.
.
At this moment, I could directly see the difference in Xu Mo's practice.
Xu Mo opened his lips slightly, and suddenly a white mist-like true energy spurted out, like a long chain, continuing, coiling and spreading, and like a hundred-meter-long spiritual snake, coming alive around him.
After a long time, they slowly dispersed.
"This is the righteous method of immortality!"
Explained to Xiang Ying.
Xiang Ying didn’t believe it.
"Immortal dharma? If that's true, then it's very difficult to practice."
"Xiao Ying, you have a good eye and have seen the key." Xu Mo praised.
"What's the key? It's so difficult to practice this method?"
"Yes, but it's difficult to practice!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Because it is difficult to practice, it is difficult to find a master, especially a real master. Even if it is the Immortal Way, the selection of people, qualifications, understanding, and even the aura of heaven and earth are not enough to improve many orthodox practitioners.
Only the orthodox immortal way will become lonely, and the secret technique of human elixir will prevail in the world!"
Xu Mo said.
He only figured this out later.
Just like what Xiang Ying said, because "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi", "Eight Views of the Sacred Platform", and "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Jue" are the immortal Tao techniques of the eight classics, which emphasize swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But where can there be so much spiritual energy between heaven and earth?
Even if there were, there wouldn't be enough Qi cultivators to devour it, and even if there were enough, the cultivation speed would certainly not be as fast as those who use the "Secret Technique of the Human Pill" and "Three Animals Return to One".
Therefore, it must decline.
This is also in line with the inevitable law of the development of things.
But sometimes, letting things develop is not a good thing.
Xu Mo has a foundation, and he has the training experience of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yizi, two masters of Sanqing Taoism, plus his own exploration and iteration.
So this time, he practiced faster.
In just a few days, I have completed the practice of "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi" and "Eight Views of the Divine Platform", and officially entered the practice of "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Jue".
To be honest, the progress of cultivation has not reached the level of the last peak.
But in terms of strength, Xu Mo asked himself, it was almost the same as in the last cycle.
"What realm have we reached now?" Xu Mo asked.
He was going to Sanqing Mountain, the ancestral home of the Sanqing Sect.
This place is very far away.
It needs to cross seven states and travel more than 5,000 miles.
In this world, it was already very far away. Xu Mo didn't know why the pioneers chose a place so far away.
Perhaps, the place where the other party was born after the restart was over there.
Even if Xu Mo uses wind control to fly, it will take two or three days to reach this distance.
"This is Furuchuan Prefecture. We can almost reach it in one day's walking." Xiang Ying said. In fact, she had not gone to Sanqing Mountain.
But I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running away, and I have heard of it to some extent.
According to Xiang Ying, this Sanqing sect was quite famous in the past.
After all, it was founded by ‘Tian Yuan True Immortal’.
"However, the True Immortal founded more than just this sect. Later, I heard that after the True Immortal disappeared, several of the sects he founded also fought fiercely to compete for the position of orthodoxy." Xiang Ying told her what she knew.
Said.
Xu Mo also shook his head when he heard this, thinking that it was all just a false reputation, so why fight for it?
If you don't strengthen yourself, it is ultimately meaningless.
Facts also prove this.
Those sectarian forces have all fallen, and almost none of them can achieve anything.
And this further shows that the pioneer did not come back after a hundred days, or left and did not exist in this world.
Otherwise, if the other party is still there, he will not ignore the power he created.
After all, the other party passed down the true Dharma, and his original intention was to carry it forward.
It's a pity that in the end, those weird cultivators took advantage of the loophole.
Of course, there is a question worth pondering here.
That is the existence of "Shore", which must have existed for more than eight hundred years.
In other words, the senior pioneer who traveled through time must have come into contact with, and even fought against, the weird things on the shore.
When he was there, the people on the shore who could press him were strangely shy and shy, but in the end, he 'left'.
In this way, the world almost changed because of him, but in the end, it did not change.
Xu Mo got up at this time, having rested enough, and continued on his way with Xiang Ying.
Another half day has passed.
Fly more than 800 miles.
It's windy and cold ahead.
Stop and have a rest. Ask for directions and don't go in the wrong direction.
The mountains you see stretch like the backbone of the earth, majestic, high in the mountains, deep in the forests, and rarely visited.
But if you look high up, you can still find some people.
It flew to a certain place and landed three miles away, approaching slowly.
Ahead is a village.
Different from houses made of brick and wood, houses here are made of wood, animal skins, weeds and other materials, like the yurts of nomadic people.
In the distance, there are cattle and sheep.
Are they really herding mountain people?
That's right, there are no big cities here, it's close to Weizhou outside the territory, and supplies are scarce. Living here, you can only be self-sufficient.
Xu Mo and Xiang Ying approached the village and were discovered when they reached the outskirts.
Of course, Xu Mo and the two of them had nothing to hide, otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary mortals to discover them.
On a big tree, a young man held a long bow and stared at the two strangers.
In his opinion, the man's clothes were pretty good. Although he was dressed as a Central Plains man, his clothes were normal and not strange.
Women dress very strangely.
Too light and airy, and also barefoot.
Is she not cold?
Even if it's not cold, aren't you afraid of getting your feet dirty or having your soles pricked by sharp rocks and branches?
don't know!
But this young man knew a saying passed down by their ancestors.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
There is a problem with these two people.
Immediately notify the village using special methods.
In fact, it imitates the chirping of insects and birds.
This method is very clever, but it can hide it from others, but it can't hide it from Xu Mo and Xiang Ying.
Both of them could tell that someone was imitating it, but there was no need to point it out.
They are asking for directions, and they will leave after asking for directions. They will not have anything to do with the people here again.
After walking another hundred steps, we arrived at the entrance of the village, and a person walked out. He was dressed as a Taoist priest, a kind of Taoist priest who looked a little downcast.
The Taoist robe has been washed countless times, has changed color, and has been patched. You can only tell from the collar of the robe that it is a Taoist robe, and of course, there is also a Taoist crown.
Some Taoist priests tie their hair with hairpins, some wrap their Taoist scarves with cloth, and some wear crowns.
There's something special about this stuff.
Of course, these are not the rules of the world that Xu Mo lives in. There are rules here. Xu Mo knows that, so he can tell that the gray-haired man in front of him is a Taoist priest.
He is also a serious Taoist priest.
From the other person's breathing, you can tell that he is a Qi practitioner who has practiced "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi".
However, the opponent's cultivation level is limited to this. He should have only cultivated "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi" to the level of Dacheng, and has not taken a step further.
There are reasons for the lack of skills, as well as limitations on one's own qualifications.
But after all, he is practicing the orthodox Immortal Dao technique, so even if he only completes the practice of "Exhalation and Movement of Qi", his foundation is extremely solid and his strength is not weak.
While Xu Mo was sizing up the other person, the down-and-out old Taoist priest was also sizing up Xu Mo.
Obviously, he looked confused.
I guess I can tell that Xu Mo's aura is an orthodox Immortal Dao technique.
This thing can be seen as long as you have truly practiced "Exhalation and Movement of Qi", just like people who have taken the human elixir, there is always an extremely secret resentment entangled in their bodies.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, where did our fellow Taoist come from and where are you going?" The old Taoist priest spoke first.
This question is also very particular.
After all, this place is remote, and most people would not come here even if they were touring the mountains and rivers. They must have some agenda. The other party took the initiative to ask, and there was also an intention to interrogate and explore.
Subtext, if it is not said or concealed, something bad may happen.
Xu Mo obviously has some thoughts on this issue.
He knew that sooner or later he would meet people from the Sanqing Great Sect, but he didn't expect that he would meet them so early and before he reached the boundary of Sanqing Mountain.
"A guest in the Jade Court, returning to the ancestral court of the Three Qing Dynasties!"
Xu Mo's words were not nonsense, but what he learned from Xuan Zhenzi's mouth. They were the internal 'passwords' of the Taoist sect. It was somewhat similar to the meaning of 'the king of heaven covers the tigers of the earth, and the pagoda suppresses the river monsters'.
Sure enough, the old Taoist priest was greatly surprised when he heard this.
"It's actually the Yu Ting lineage? The Yu Ting lineage has been missing for more than sixty years and has no trace. Where have they been all these years?" asked the old Taoist priest.
Xu Mo did not answer, but looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile.
He still doesn't know where the other party is from.
The old Taoist priest seemed to have come to his senses and said seriously: "Don't you recognize my precepts?"
As he spoke, he shook a very inconspicuous iron ring on his hand.
The ring had gone through many years and was covered with scratches. It was just a thing and it was hard to tell what it was. At least Xu Mo didn't know what the ring represented.
"I don't know!" Tell the truth.
"Hey, the Sanqing Dynasty is weak and the orthodoxy does not exist. God's will, God's will."
The old Taoist priest was actually very sad.
Xu Mo never understood, so he asked: "Taoist Master, what is the origin of this precept?"
"Where did it come from? This is one of the Three Pure Seven Treasures, and you can't even recognize it? Who is your master? I want to ask him how he taught his disciples?"
The morale of the old Taoist was low.
Master?
Xu Mo really couldn't figure out who his master was.
Anyway, it is definitely not Xuan Zhenzi or Xuan Yizi.
These two awesome Taoist priests have to respect themselves as the second ancestor.
However, Xu Mo had long thought about how to contact the surviving disciples of the Sanqing Sect.
It's the same old trick, let them recognize the second ancestor.
"I don't have a master, but I have a senior brother." Xu Mo said at this time, with that expression and tone, Xiang Ying, who was familiar with Xu Mo anyway, saw this posture and knew that this guy was about to start showing off.
Xu Mo had already said this word to Xiang Ying on the way.
Xiang Ying said, this word is really appropriate.
Just two words can express that state and thoughts vividly.
The old Taoist priest opposite didn't know why, so he asked: "Senior brother? Which is your senior brother? Xuan Zhenzi or Xuan Yizi?"
The old Taoist priest actually knew about Xuan's generation.
"No, my senior brother is the Tianyuan Taoist."
"Tianyuan? Tianyuanzi...what, who? Who are you talking about?" The old Taoist priest's reflex arc was obviously a bit long, and he felt that he had heard wrongly.
"Tian Yuan Dao Ancestor should be my senior brother." Xu Mo's words are not a lie. After all, the time travel pioneer is Xu Mo's senior.
They all belong to the 'traversal gate', the first is the elder brother and the latter is the younger brother.
Xu Mo called Tianyuan Daozu his senior brother, which was absolutely correct.
But the old Taoist priest didn't believe it.
And he didn't believe it at all, and even looked cold and murderous.
"Although our Sanqing Grand Sect has fallen into decline, we still have our integrity and cannot tolerate being insulted by you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to form the seal and pointed forward.
boom.
A wave of spiritual pressure came over, like a wall being smashed through.
Xu Mo used the same method to form the seal, also pushing forward.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, the energy rippled, and a long mark was blasted on the ground between them. Under the strong energy, the old Taoist priest took three steps back without being able to stand still. He took another two steps back, and then barely managed to sit on the ground.
Looking at Xu Mo again, he didn't move a step, as steady as Mount Tai.
""Eight Views of the Sacred Platform"?"
The old Taoist priest's eyelids twitched wildly.
He obviously knows his stuff, because he has been practicing "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi" for more than sixty years. It can be said that he has already mastered it and his foundation is as stable as possible.
He also wanted to practice "Eight Views of the Sacred Platform", but he couldn't find the method.
I can't always get started.
It seems that even enlightenment is difficult.
His master said that there is no way to do this. To cultivate immortality, one must focus on the word "enlightenment".
Sometimes nine hundred and nine times of hardship is not as good as one thousandth of the understanding.
But having no way to get started doesn't mean that the old Taoist priest doesn't know the ropes. He saw that the other party had reserved his hand just now, and he didn't use any force at all.
This is enough to show that people have cultivated the "Eight Scenery Tower" to its ultimate peak.
Think about yourself and then look at others.
It's true that people are more likely to die than others.
Fortunately, the old Taoist priest's cultivation has not improved over the years, but his state of mind is still stable and he is not jealous. But when he thinks about it carefully, he knows that the other party is not simple.
Is this kind of person the kind of person who talks nonsense?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Mo directly threw out a nuclear bomb-level deception weapon.
"Tao Te Ching" and "Huang Ting Jing".
Such a chat with the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest was finally like Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yizi before. His whole body was shivering endlessly, as if he had been struck by an evil spirit due to convulsions.
Can't stop.
There were people in the mountain village behind him who had already gathered to observe. When they saw something was wrong with the old Taoist priest, they immediately rushed out.
"Taoist Priest, we are here to help you!"
The mountain people are fierce and will cut them down when they come up.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest shouted: "Master Taoist, stop it!"
He even stepped forward, pushed three away and blocked seven.
The mountain people were puzzled, and the old Taoist priest did not explain. Instead, he turned to look at Xu Mo with shock and confusion on his face.
"You are really..."
"I really am." Xu Mo knew what the other party was going to ask.
Even so, the old Taoist priest still couldn't believe it. When he was hesitating, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded over there. When he turned around, he saw a line of wolf smoke rising into the sky in the distance.
