Chapter 659: The Sixth Level of Golden Core, Taixu Sect (asking for monthly votes)
This old man was the only doctor in the village. Upon hearing his words, Wang Qin immediately stopped his hands and focused his eyes on the other person.
"Uncle Lu, please help. Uncle Zhang just fell from the haystack, but he didn't hit his head. How come he died so quickly?"
The old doctor sighed and shook his head, saying, "I've just checked. His heart meridians are damaged. He is really dying.
Alas! I'm afraid it will be difficult for Old Zhang to survive tonight. Let's not move him first. Wait for Jiuwa and the others to come and see him, and then carry him back!
Wang Qin, I know you are in pain, but there is no other way at the moment. You can only leave it to fate. I'll go back and get some medicine. You quickly take a few people to find a wooden board. Remember to put two quilts under it. We will carry him back later.
Lao Liang, don't all gather here. If Jiuwa doesn't come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him for the last time. Go find him quickly!"
After the old doctor gave a few instructions, the people at the scene immediately moved and went about their own business.
Although "Yanhu Village" is a small village with mixed surnames, the villagers are still relatively united. Seeing that something happened here, many people left their work in the fields and rushed here to help.
Although he had been standing aside without speaking, Song Qingming had already seen that Mr. Zhang, who was lying on the ground, could not hold on for too long with his spiritual sense.
Song Qingming also had a few pills that could heal mortals. Although there was no way to help the other party come back to life and heal immediately, it was still possible to help the other party heal his injuries and delay his life for a period of time.
However, he had promised Zheng Xingyun before that he could not use the abilities of cultivators to interfere with the lives of these mortals. This time also made Song Qingming feel a little uneasy.
The mortals beside him included Wang Qin, who had a good relationship with Song Qingming. Faced with this situation, they did not seem to have the idea of asking for help from the immortal master.
Even though Song Qingming was standing aside, no one asked him to help him come forward to see what was going on. It seemed that they didn't want Song Qingming to intervene in this matter.
Just as Song Qingming was standing there thinking about this matter, a teenager of 17 or 18 years old ran over and threw himself beside Mr. Zhang lying on the ground, calling his father's name with a sad face.
Seeing this, Song Qingming shook his head with a hint of helplessness, and then turned around and left without intervening in the matter.
The next day, as the sun rose in the east, Song Qingming opened the door and walked out of his house in a wisp of mist.
Mr. Zhang, who fell from a haystack more than ten feet high, saw his family before his death, but he didn't survive last night and died.
Someone in the village passed away, and the entire "Yanhu Village" was also in mourning. Everyone was busy preparing for the deceased old man's affairs.
After hearing about Master Zhang's story, some of the nearby villages in the valley who had a good relationship with him also took the trouble to come to "Yanhu Village" to help.
After several days of farewell ceremonies, Master Zhang was finally sent to the mountain by everyone and buried on a small ridge next to "Yanhu Village".
During the whole process of bidding farewell to Master Zhang, although Song Qingming did not help much, he still participated in the whole process.
Along the way, he always looked at what was happening in front of him with a calm face, like a bystander observing everyone's emotional changes, and feeling the sadness and regret in their hearts.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Song Qingming did not choose to follow the crowd back to the village, but found a secluded place near the hill, took out the magic weapon and started to open up a simple cave.
A magic array was arranged outside the cave, and Song Qingming walked in directly, then activated the magic array outside, and began to practice in seclusion.
——
Time passed slowly, and more than half a year passed in a flash.
One day, a burst of colorful rays of light suddenly appeared on the ridge behind "Yanhu Village", and soon disappeared.
Wang Fengzhi, who was looking for fish and shrimps with a few friends by the river, happened to look up and saw this scene. He hurriedly ran to his mother who was washing clothes upstream and shouted:
"Mom! Look at the mountain, is that the immortal master coming back!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qin's wife turned around and looked at the rays of light on the back mountain. She was surprised at first, and then quickly regained her composure and nodded and smiled:
"Well! Maybe, don't play in the water here, help me take this back quickly, your grandma is in a hurry to use it!"
After that, Wang Qin's wife picked up a bamboo basket beside her, handed it to her son, and sent him back to worry about the immortals.
Seeing that Wang Fengzhi was still looking at the rays of light on the mountain not far away, and left with some reluctance, Wang Qin's wife gently shook her head and sighed.
"It's not easy for an immortal to live a lifetime, what's there to envy!"
In a bamboo forest on the back mountain of "Yanhu Village\
,"After the sunset glow ended, a flash of light flashed, and Song Qingming, who was wearing coarse cloth and had a bit of joy on his face, appeared out of thin air in the bamboo forest.
After six months of seclusion, Song Qingming's aura also changed completely, and he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level of Jindan and advanced to the sixth level of Jindan.
Before this retreat, Song Qingming's cultivation had successfully reached the peak of the fifth level of the Golden Core, and he was not far away from breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation.
After experiencing Mr. Zhang's death and attending his funeral, Song Qingming was about to return to "Yanhu Village" when he suddenly had some thoughts on the way and touched his own cultivation bottleneck.
Seeing this, in order not to disturb the mortal life in "Yanhu Village", Song Qingming left the crowd alone, went to the mountain to find a place with a slightly denser spiritual energy, opened a cave, and began to retreat to try to break through his own cultivation.
In the valley where "Yanhu Village" is located, the spiritual energy has reached around the third-level mid-level, and it is enough for Song Qingming to break through the realm of spiritual energy here.
Unexpectedly, this retreat was also very smooth. Song Qingming successfully broke through the obstacles without taking any pills to help break through the bottleneck, and raised his cultivation to the sixth level of the golden elixir. This really made him extremely happy at the moment.
"We haven't seen you for more than half a year. Congratulations to Junior Brother Song, your cultivation has improved again." Just when Song Qingming was still filled with joy, Zheng Xingyun's voice had reached his ears from the side.
Song Qingming turned around and took a look, only to find that the senior brother he had not seen for more than half a year had appeared not far from him at some point. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him.
"Experiencing mortal life here for so long has really benefited me a lot and gained a lot of new insights. I have to thank Senior Brother Zheng for his guidance to Junior Brother."
Before Song Qingming went into retreat, Zheng Xingyun happened to go back to the mountains because of something. He was not in "Yanhu Village" at that time. Song Qingming made a breakthrough in retreat here. In fact, he only found out about it after he returned to the village.
Zheng Xingyun, who looked calm, nodded slightly towards Song Qingming and said: "Junior Brother Song, it is indeed very rare to be able to get so many feelings from mortal life so quickly, and to be able to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. .
Mortal life, old age, illness and death are the will of Heaven and cannot be easily violated. Even if we monks have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas in this world, we cannot make changes to their destiny that are contrary to Heaven's will.
From birth to death, they will also experience many things that are difficult for us as immortal cultivators to touch. When you truly experience these, your perception of everything in the world will be different from before.
Among the people who have come to the island over the years, there are many who are more talented than you, but in terms of understanding in this area, there are really few people who can do better than you. You don't need to be too modest with me on this point. "
"Qing Ming, thank you senior brother for your teaching!"
After hearing Zheng Xingyun's explanation, Song Qingming immediately understood why he had been reminding himself not to use his cultivation ability to interfere in the lives of the mortals around him.
When Song Qingming's cultivation was still low, he also experienced the death of his parents and relatives at the foot of the mountain. But at that time, he had been separated from mortal life for a long time. Although he was very sad in his heart, he did not understand much from it.
The reason why he gained something this time was because living as a mortal for more than half a year allowed him to immerse himself among ordinary mortals and deeply understand the sadness, reluctance, and regret in their hearts. This suddenly gave him this idea. A breakthrough in cultivation and enlightenment.
Song Qingming had heard since childhood that many high-level monks in the world of immortality would often disguise themselves as low-level monks or mortals when traveling to experience a different life. At the time, he did not understand the profound meaning of this.
It wasn't until he experienced so much personally this time and gained insights into his cultivation that Song Qingming finally understood why those seniors did such abnormal things of "escaping into the world of mortals".
Although Song Qingming's qualifications were not very outstanding, Zheng Xingyun still liked his easy-going character. He smiled, waved his hand, and said again:
"You must be very strange after being here for so long. We are all accomplished high-level monks. Why does the master still want us to come here from time to time to experience the life of ordinary mortals.
In fact, these are mainly related to the exercises we practice, but now the master is eager to see you, so I won’t explain it to you too much here. If you have anything to say, you’d better ask him directly in person! "
"Senior Brother Zheng, you said that senior has been released from seclusion and wants to see me now?"
Hearing Zheng Xingyun's words, Song Qingming felt happy for a moment, and confirmed again with a nervous look on his face. He didn't feel relieved until the other party nodded in reply.
After a year in the valley, he was finally able to meet the senior who taught him the "Jade Mysterious Sutra" technique. After learning the news from Zheng Xingyun, Song Qingming was so excited that he didn't know it for a moment. It's time to say something.
"Master actually left seclusion a few months ago, but unfortunately you happened to be in seclusion again to break through your cultivation. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't inform you in advance.
His old man is on the mountain now. I will take you there now! "After Zheng Xingyun finished speaking, he waved his hand to summon a blue flying boat and took the lead in walking up.
Upon seeing this, Song Qingming immediately jumped onto the flying boat. After a while, green light lit up around the flying boat, and Song Qingming and Zheng Xingyun turned into spiritual lights and disappeared.
After leaving "Yanhu Village", the flying boat controlled by Zheng Xingyun directly passed over the mountain guard formation around the valley and flew directly over the empty island.
Just when Song Qingming was a little puzzled, after the flying boat passed through a white cloud in mid-air, a huge mountain peak suspended in the sky suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
There are several pavilions and pavilions erected on the mountain peaks, and white clouds drift by from time to time, creating a scene that makes people yearn for the holy land of the Immortal Family.
After arriving nearby, Song Qingming also felt that the spiritual energy above was significantly denser than the spiritual energy on the island below. There should be at least a level 4 or above spiritual vein on the mountain peak in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the mountain gate of the "Taixu Gate" was actually suspended over the entire island using a magic formation. No wonder Song Qingming didn't find anything like a mountain protection formation on the high mountains around the island before he went to the island.
Seeing this unbelievable scene in front of him, Song Qingming's face immediately showed a look of shock.
"Junior Brother Song, there is a special formation guarding the mountain. If ordinary people don't have the guidance of our monks, even Nascent Soul monks will have a hard time finding this place.
After meeting the master, ask him to teach you a set of techniques for entering and exiting the formation. From now on, you can freely travel to and from the mountain. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng, for reminding me!" After hearing Zheng Xingyun's instructions, Song Qingming hurriedly thanked him.
After the two of them stood on the flying boat and said a few words, they arrived at a flat land on the west side of the mountain peak.
Just as Zheng Xingyun put away the flying boat next to him, a ray of light suddenly flew over from a stone pavilion not far away. A man in white with only the third level of Jindan cultivation quickly appeared in front of the two of them and slightly arched his hands towards them.
"Fourth senior brother, the master asked me to pick him up!"
Seeing the person coming, Zheng Xingyun responded slightly, then turned to Song Qingming beside him and said, "This is Junior Brother Liu Yang. You go with him to see the master. I still have some work to do at the foot of the mountain, so I'll go back first." !”
After saying this, Zheng Xingyun didn't wait for Song Qingming to respond, and then took the flying boat and disappeared into a ray of light.
Song Qingming smiled and nodded when he saw this, and immediately turned around and bowed to the monk in white beside him.
"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Liu!"
Although the other party's cultivation level is lower than his, and he doesn't seem to be older than him, the seniority among fellow sects in the world of immortality is arranged according to the order of entry. Now that Song Qingming is here, he can only call the other party first. One sentence, senior brother.
Liu Yang, who had a delicate face, glanced at Song Qingming and responded with a smile: "Junior Brother Song, you're welcome, come with me!"
After Liu Yang finished speaking, he led Song Qingming towards the stone pavilion. The two of them walked along the stone steps on the mountain road for about half a mile, and soon came to a mountain wall.
After arriving here, Liu Yang waved his hand and released a purple telephony talisman, which sank directly into the mountain wall. A moment later, the mountain wall in front of the two of them changed, revealing a cave door.
"Junior Brother Song, the master is waiting for you inside. You can go in by yourself. I have some work to do beforehand!" After Liu Yang finished speaking, he didn't care about Song Qingming in front of him, and turned around and left along the original road.
Song Qingming, who was standing there, adjusted his old coarse cloth coat a little, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, he walked lightly into the cave.
After arriving at the "Taixu Sect", both Zheng Xingyun and Liu Yang, whom he had just met, seemed to be very casual to Song Qingming, without the rules common among monks from other major sects.
However, Song Qingming was still very careful along the way, trying to behave calmly so as not to leave a bad impression on the other party.
As soon as he entered the cave, Song Qingming saw an elegant-looking middle-aged man sitting on a futon in the middle of the cave, looking at him with a smile.
This middle-aged man, also wearing old coarse clothes like Song Qingming, and holding a roll of bamboo slips that had just been put away in his hand, was the shopkeeper of "Guiyunfang" who had dealt with Song Qingming back then.
Song Qingming's cultivation level has reached the sixth level of the Golden Core. When meeting an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator like Zheng Xingyun, he can still quickly tell the other person's cultivation level.
However, when Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness detected the vicinity of the middle-aged man in front of him, he instantly lost track of him like a mud cow drowning in the sea. He could not tell a trace of the other man's true cultivation level.
The fact that this situation occurs is enough to prove that the person in front of him is either a late-stage Nascent Soul monk with advanced cultivation, or a legendary god-transformation monk in the world of immortality.
"Junior Song Qingming, I have met my senior!"
Seeing Song Qingming bowing towards him respectfully, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, stood up and walked to the stone table aside, waving to him again.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Come and sit down!"
After hearing the other party's instructions, Song Qingming was stunned for a moment, then hurried over and sat on the stone bench next to the table as instructed.
When he saw the birds chirping in the fairy mountain when he was outside, Song Qingming thought that the cave where this senior lived must be a magnificent place.
After sitting down and taking a look around the cave, Song Qingming was a little surprised that the cave was as simple as the small courtyard in the mortal village where they lived down the mountain.
Except for a pile of letters, there was not a single expensive-looking thing in the entire cave. Even the teacup on the table was an ordinary utensil made in the mortal world.
If he had known that Song Qingming was coming, the middle-aged man had already boiled a pot of water at the table. After boiling the pot of hot water, the middle-aged man suddenly asked Song Qingming:
"You should have some spiritual tea with you. It's produced in the Fuyun Mountains. Take it out quickly!"
"Ah, yes!" Hearing the other party's question, Song Qingming was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly took out the two bags of spiritual tea he had stored on his body from the storage artifact.
Then Song Qingming took the initiative to take the teapot from the middle-aged man's hand, helped him prepare a pot of spiritual tea, and carefully delivered it to him.
"Well! Your craftsmanship is not bad. The taste of this spiritual tea is almost the same as the one I drank two hundred years ago!" The middle-aged man picked up the teacup on the table, smelled the taste, and put it to his mouth again. He took a few sips.
"Senior, if you like our spiritual tea over there, I'll bring some here!"
Seeing the focused look on the other person's face when tasting tea, as if he was also a person who likes to eat and drink like himself, Song Qingming immediately understood and took the initiative to take out the remaining spiritual tea he brought from home and pile it on the table.
"Haha! Since you are so generous, I won't be polite to you anymore. I will accept these things first. I will return the favor to you later when I think of what you need!"
Seeing a lot of spiritual tea on the table, the middle-aged man nodded in surprise, and without being polite to Song Qingming, he put them all away with a wave of his hand.
After putting away the spiritual tea on the table, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, he put away his previous casual look, and his eyes towards Song Qingming began to become a little serious.
"We are so far apart. I thought you wouldn't be able to find me here. It seems that this destined person is guided by heaven in the end. Even if I didn't leave you any clues, I'm afraid we will still meet each other. The day we meet.”
"Yes! Senior is right. The fact that junior found this place is indeed somewhat blessed by God. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot more time to see senior again."
Hearing what the other party said, although Song Qingming agreed, he felt a little helpless in his heart.
The clues left by the other party for him were so vague that he had no way of investigating them for a while. If he hadn't been reminded by Old Monster Mo to come to the "East Phoenix Country" to investigate the immortal world, I'm afraid Song Qingming wouldn't have known the need. How long does it take to find this place?
If this guy could have kept an accurate location, even if he was told that these two places were within the Nanzhou territory of the "East Phoenix Kingdom", Song Qingming wouldn't have been confused for so long along the way.
"The Taixu Sword I passed on to you should still be on you!"
"Yes! Yes, but I accidentally broke the sword when I was trying to refine it."
Hearing the other party ask about the "Taixu Sword", Song Qingming looked helplessly as he rummaged through his storage bag and found the broken high-grade flying sword that the middle-aged man had given him.
When he bought this flying sword, he had no idea about the inheritance of the techniques they left behind in it. Unexpectedly, he broke the sword during the sacrifice and accidentally obtained the inheritance of the "Jade Mysterious Sutra" inside.
Looking at the dagger on the table, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter! This sword is meant to carry inheritance, and it won't affect anything if it breaks."
After putting away the broken sword on the table with a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man introduced again: "Before you went up the mountain, Xingyun had already introduced our Taixu Sect to you, so you must be aware of some things.
My Taoist name is Lingxu Taoist, and he is the current head of the Taixu Sect. The Yuxuan Sutra you practice is the inheritance of the skills left by an ancestor of the sect. "(End of chapter)
