After Zhang Yan entered the small world, ten thousand miles away, there were two female cultivators traveling on a flower raft in the clouds.
These two were disciples of Li Mountain Sect. This time, they borrowed Yuxiao school's talisman to enter the small world to search for the Earth Yin Qi.
The one standing in front was a girl in her twenties. She had a beautiful face and an elegant bearing. The other girl was dressed in green. Her face was young and her hair was combed into a double spiral bun. She looked eighteen or nineteen.
At this moment, the slightly older girl looked at the mountains below and said, "I didn't expect the small world to be so big. If we continue to search like this, who knows when we will find spiritual energy."
The girl in green said, "Senior Sister Chu, Yuxiao school gave me half a year. Do you think we won't be able to find it?"
Senior Sister Chu shook her head and said, "The Earth Yin Qi is hidden deep in the earth. With our mana, we can only detect the qi near the surface. If we go deeper, we won't be able to find it. When the time comes, we can only change to another boundary."
The girl in green pouted and said, "Then let's search a few more places. It's not like we don't try our best. Master won't blame us."
Senior Sister Chu sighed and said, "We can only do that."
Previously when she came to this place, the seniors in the sect had warned her to be extra careful. For Jade Firmament Sect to open their doors so easily, there might be some inside story behind it. Hence, she felt that this trip would not be smooth sailing.
After another day, the two still did not find anything.
Senior Sister Chu said, "It's not appropriate to continue searching like this. Why don't we ask the natives here and see if we can get anything out of them."
Previously, they were wandering in the wilderness. Along the way, they saw a few villages and temples, but most of them were abandoned. They did not see any traces of people.
The girl in green counted with her fingers and said, "The southeast direction is densely populated. We can try there."
After the two made a decision, they flew southeast.
After traveling for two to three thousand miles, they were out of the mountain boundary. The terrain in front of them gradually became flat. They could see rivers and occasionally a few villages.
Several hundred 'li's later, he saw a large road below. The road was lined with elm and willow trees. He could hear the chirping of insects and the singing of cicadas. Although it was dusk, there were still many travelers coming and going. Every few li, there would be a large pavilion to rest the horses and carriages. At the end of the road, there was a city with a white river flowing out of the city, on both sides of the beach. Lanterns have been hung up in each of the pavilions, reflecting the light and the water, looking like stars in the sky, one look and you can tell that this is a bustling place.
Arriving at this place, the two women were afraid to shock the world, so they put away the flower raft and found a bamboo forest to settle down. Then, he walked out.
However, as soon as they reached the outer room, the two women frowned at the same time and cast a small spell to conceal the smell of cows and horses. Only then did they walk toward a tidy pavilion.
In the pavilion, the old man raised his head and saw two women walking over. Both of them were beautiful, and there was not a speck of dirt or dirt on them. She didn't look like a woman from the mortal world, so she couldn't help but be bewildered. She suddenly thought of the rumors about immortals and deities, and her heart skipped a beat.
He instructed the manservant beside him and hurriedly walked out. His mouth opened, but he didn't know how to address them. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a face full of smiles, "Honored guests, may I know where you are from?"
The green-clothed woman didn't answer and asked instead, "What kind of place is this?"
The old man replied respectfully, "Go further along this road, and it is under the jurisdiction of Anzhou City. If the two of you are looking for a place to stay, there are two restaurants in the city: Peaceful Repose House and Sleeping Moon House. They are both clean places, specially used to receive honored guests. "
The green-clothed woman asked again, "Do you know if there are any famous mountains and rivers here?"
The old man chuckled, "Are the two honored guests asking about places to go to sightsee? If you want to talk about historical sites, it would be the Vast View Pagoda outside of Anzhou City. It has been around for over two hundred years since the previous dynasty. If you want to talk about exquisite and beautiful places, there is the lotus pond under the Twin Fish Bridge in the Lu family's mansion in the city. If you want to climb high and see far, you can go to the Spring River Terrace by the Heart Pot Water … "
Senior apprentice-sister Chu heard this and felt that she wouldn't be able to find out anything by asking like this. She changed her mind and interrupted, "Old man, are there any strange stories or strange stories here?"
"Strange stories or strange stories?"
The old man was startled, then nodded his head repeatedly, "Yes, there are. Thirty miles south of the city, there is a big banyan tree. Its crown is so big that it can cover a thousand people. Rumor has it that it has been seven thousand years since it planted its roots. Its branches and leaves are still lush and green like new. There have never been any insects or ants biting it. Visitors who pray for rain and divination are very accurate. Normally, there is an endless supply of incense. It is also a good place to go."
Senior apprentice-sister Chu's eyes lit up and she transmitted her voice, "After growing in this place filled with spiritual vigor for thousands of years, even if this tree doesn't become a spirit monster, it will still have spirituality. This is a local native, there is no harm in asking him. Perhaps we can find out some information."
The green-clothed girl also agreed. The two of them thanked Daoren in the pavilion, then turned around and disappeared without a trace.
The old man saw that the two of them suddenly disappeared and suddenly shivered. He looked left and right but couldn't find any trace of them. He couldn't help but stomp his feet and said, "Ai, the two immortal ladies left really quickly. Just Now, I forgot to ask for the two immortal pills."
The two of them left the pavilion and flew through the clouds with all their might. They covered a distance of ten miles in a short while.
From afar, they could see a big tree on the ground. Its crown was half a mile wide. Its branches and leaves were intertwined and full of vitality. From afar, it looked like a flying dragon or snake. In the eyes of the two of them, the big trunk was full of spiritual vigor. It was obvious that it had already transformed.
The green-clothed girl was surprised, "Such a vigorous spiritual vigor, why wasn't it struck by the heavenly lightning?"
Senior apprentice-sister Chu said, "Junior apprentice-sister, have you forgotten that this is a small world? Although this person is trapped and unable to transcend, he has avoided the tribulation of lightning, fire, and fire."
The green-clothed girl nodded and said, "That should be the case."
The two of them circled around the tree for a while. As if sensing that someone had arrived, the old tree's branches shook and a white smoke rose. It turned into a white-clothed scholar in the sky. He bowed to the two of them and said, "I wonder which immortal master has come? I, Rong, greet you."
Senior apprentice-sister Chu saw that his cultivation was deep and had actually reached Jindan. It was obvious that he had been taught by the righteous path. She felt a little strange and bowed. She said, "My sister and I were originally cultivating overseas. We came here to visit a friend and passed by this place. We heard that there is a strange tree here that can call the wind and summon the rain. It will grant any request, so we came here to take a look."
The scholar smiled and said, "That is just a rumor among the people. I, Rong, received guidance from an immortal master in the past. I can only borrow a little of the water qi, but I don't dare to show off in front of you two immortal masters."
Senior apprentice-sister Chu couldn't help but frown. She had already guessed that there were cultivators in this small world, but now it seemed that they were much more brilliant than she had imagined. She had a bad feeling in her heart. After pondering for a while, she said, "The two of us are wandering cultivators from overseas. This is our first time here, so there are many things that we don't understand.
The scholar cupped his hands and said, "My cultivation is still shallow. Because of the limitations of this body, I can't travel outside, so I don't know much. If the two of you want to inquire about cultivation, go three thousand miles east. There is a place called Black Smoke Mountain. The Qing Xiao Temple is also a cultivator. The two of you might as well go there and ask."
The two women heard his intention to decline, so they didn't force him. They asked for the general shape of Black Smoke Mountain, thanked him, and soared into the sky.
Senior apprentice-sister Chu wanted to travel through the night, but the woman in green grabbed her and said, "Senior apprentice-sister Chu, it is two to three thousand miles to get there. It will be late by the time we get there. Why don't we go to Anzhou City for the night? Maybe we can find out something."
Senior apprentice-sister Chu knew what she was thinking. They had been brought to the mountains to cultivate since they were young, so they rarely went out to play in the mortal world. However, the Donghua Continent was now in chaos and war, so it was not as peaceful as it was now. Thinking that it would be inappropriate to visit at night, she agreed and said, "That's fine. We have traveled for days, and our mana has been depleted. Let's rest in the city tonight and go to Qing Xiao Temple tomorrow morning."
Yuxiao school, Moving Star Palace.
Three Taoists sat in the hall, discussing Dharma and Dao. The person sitting in the main seat was Wu Fenggu, who had interacted with Zhang Yan before. To his left was Zhou Qiao, a disciple of the Zhou family who had been on a diplomatic mission to Shaoqing. The last person was a young Taoist with delicate features.
At this moment, a water mirror in the hall suddenly rippled, and with a flash of light, a golden arrow flew out and shot towards the seat.
Zhou Qiao casually grabbed the arrow and took out a scroll from the tail. He opened it and read it. He shook his head and said, "The Lishan Sect's disciple entered for three days, and only found the right path. Such a disciple is really useless."
Wu Fenggu smiled and said, "The situation in the realm is not clear. How would Zhenren Yuling be willing to let his disciples come with just a few words from me? These two said that they are here to take Qi, but in fact, they are here to scout. "
Zhou Qiao flicked the letter with her finger and said, "This is not good. If this goes on, when will we be able to drive those heretics away?"
Wu Fenggu said, "There is no rush. In a few days, the disciples of Yuan Yang, Ping Du, and other sects will arrive. By then, we can stir up this muddy water."
In this small realm, there were naturally Daoist sects. As the place where the Qi of Earth Yin gathered, the spiritual vigor would be abundant. Therefore, other than those hidden deep in the mountains, which were mostly occupied by the sects, the rest were occupied by demons.
The origins of these sects were not simple. Some of them could even be traced back to the few almighties who opened up the small realm.
Although the cultivators here could not see through the grotto-heaven state because of the restriction of this world, but the realm entry talisman of the Yuxiao school could not withstand the passage of the grotto-heaven. Therefore, they could only send the Yuanying cultivators here. If they wanted to take the Qi of Earth Yin, they could only find a way to drive them away, which would inevitably make them enemies.
More than a thousand years ago, when Shaoqing entered the small realm to take the Qi of Earth Yin, he also encountered many troubles. At that time, he killed many cultivators of this realm and destroyed more than ten sects. Therefore, the natives did not have a good impression of these outsiders.
The Yuxiao school did not want to lose their own disciples. This time, they purposely spread the news when the disaster started, intending to use the power of other sects to wipe them out.
The young Daoist frowned and said loudly, "Senior brothers, this is scheming against our fellow Daoists. Even if we benefit from it now, we will be hated in the future."
Wu Fenggu laughed and said, "Junior brother, you think too much. Under the three disasters, other than me, Shaoqing, and Qincang sects, no one dares to say that they can pass through it. In order to stabilize the spiritual cave, they will have to swallow the bitter fruit, and they will have to owe me a favor."
The young Daoist was unconvinced and said, "Just like what two senior brothers think, if they take away all the Qi of Earth Yin, what should we do?"
Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Junior brother, since I have opened my doors, how can I not consider this? Just take a good look. "
