Xianlu

Chapter 47
A short figure appeared at the door, Xu Dao was sitting cross-legged, he looked up, his eyes were slightly startled.

"I have met Daoyou Xu." The other party bowed his head with a smile on his face.

Xu Dao knew this person, and he quickly got up to return the salute, and said, "How are you doing, friend Long Dao?"

This person was a Taoist disciple Xu Dao had known, called "Long Li'er". The other person used to be a messenger near the residence of Daotong and had a good relationship with Xu Dao.

Seeing how polite Xu Dao was, Long Li'er had a bigger smile on his face. He put on his robe and said, "It's still good! But the news that Daoist Xu made a few days ago has kept a certain family busy for several days."

Xu Dao heard the words and asked, "Where does this come from?"

"Fellow Daoist please! Let's chat while walking." Long Li'er reached out and invited Xu Dao to go out.

Walking all the way, Xu Dao just learned that Long Li'er had joined the Liaoyuan, and he was working in the Liaoyuan recently, which was much more comfortable than before.

This person said that he knew something happened to Xu Dao, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, wondering if he could help Xu Dao to deal with it.

Xu Dao was noncommittal to Long Li'er's remarks in his heart, but since the other party was so polite, he also thanked him repeatedly.

And based on the attitude of the other party, Xu Dao guessed that his punishment might not be serious.

Sure enough, the two walked into the hall of the Liaoyuan, and Taoist Mowen was already sitting in it, and when the other party saw Xu Dao, a smile appeared on his face.

"I've seen Daoist Mowen!" Xu Dao bowed to him calmly and respectfully.

After the two sides sat down, the Mowen Taoist handed over to Long Li'er and said, "Fellow Taoist, please stop talking."

Xu Dao also sounded sitting upright.

"Good!" When Long Li'er heard it, Yiyan took out a scroll from his sleeve and read it aloud.

"The criminal, Xu Dao, violated the rules of the temple for some reason, hurt the lives of his fellow disciples, and caused the death of two Taoists. His salary should be deducted and he should be imprisoned for 20 years."

"20 years!" Xu Dao was startled when he heard it, and his face changed slightly. Fortunately, his mind was calm, so he quickly suppressed his emotions and continued to listen patiently.

Long Li'er and Daoist Mowen both looked at him and found that Xu Dao was only frowning slightly, and both of them showed admiration in their eyes.

On the back of the scroll, Long Li'er continued to read after a slight pause: "Inspecting the truth, the two provoked the first, and the sinner was in front of the battle. Three years in prison."

Thinking of this, Long Li'er slowly rolled up the scroll and put it in his sleeve. He said, "This is the order from the Liaoyuan."

Because of Xu Dao's reasoning, the penalty was reduced from 20 years to three years, but Xu Dao didn't relax his brows when he heard it.

Although Daoists live long and can endure loneliness, three years is not too short for a qi-refining Daoist like Xu Dao.

If Xu Dao was really imprisoned for three years, he would still be able to practice for three years. If he was too busy with hard labor and couldn't practice, he might as well find an opportunity to defect as soon as possible...

After pondering for a few breaths, Xu Dao found that the smiles on the faces of Mo Wen and Long Li'er were still there, and they didn't seem to be gloating.

His heart moved slightly, thinking: "Is there any turning point?"

Daoist Mowen didn't say anything, and Long Li'er handed over to Xu Dao and said, "Pin Dao, let me introduce you to fellow Daoists in detail."

"Daoist friends are given two choices in the view, one is to punish the daoist friends' salary, so that the daoist friends can use work instead of punishment to earn Dao Gong. The more contributions you make, the shorter the sentence... If you choose this , fellow Daoists will be exiled to a mine outside the mountain."

When Xu Dao heard this choice, he thought that this was hard work and heavy work, and he did not speak immediately.

Long Li'er continued: "As for the second one, it is to suppress Daoist friends in the White Hair Wind Cave and guard the formation hub for the Taoist Temple for three years.

If you choose this, your fellow Daoist's salary will not only be deducted, but will also be increased by one level. Originally, fellow Daoists were doing ten exercises per month, so they would become thirty per month. "

In the early stage of qi training in Baiguguan, the monthly money for Taoists is ten ways, and the monthly money in the middle stage of qi training is [-] ways.

The second choice in the other's mouth sounded much better than the first on the surface, but Xu Dao immediately felt that the words "Bai Mao Feng Cave" sounded a little familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, he thought about it.

The White Bone Temple occupies the essence of the entire White Bone Mountain, commanding the underground spiritual veins. The entire Taoist temple is shrouded in one formation. Usually, it can accumulate spiritual energy and moonlight to nourish the Taoist. The White Bone View defends against powerful enemies.

The so-called white-haired wind cave is where the "dead gate" of the mountain protection formation is located. The vitality of this place is low, and evil gathers together. Below it is a filthy place with many bones, and it is rumored that there will be evil spirits in it. Born, it is also the place where the Taoist priests of the White Bone Temple gather.

Xu Dao heard about it when he was picking a mission in the Liaoyuan. The Baimaofeng Cave was always cloudy and windy all year round. Flying ashes floated out day and night. goose feathers.

If a mortal inhales fly ash, his lungs will be blocked in just one day, and he will cough up blood.

Even if a Taoist enters it, he will be blown away by the evil winds day and night, and he will feel restless.

In Guanli, only Taoists who have been severely punished will be punished into the White-haired Wind Cave. If there are usually no people, Guanli will spend a lot of money to hire Taoists to sit in it.

Thinking about it, Xu Dao calculated for a moment.

Looking at the two choices Long Li'er said at this time, it seems that the former one is better.

Although the former is hard labor and has no money, the punishment can be ended early if they do a lot of work, while the latter is given money, but the gains outweigh the losses, and the money has nowhere to spend.

Xu Dao didn't say anything, he asked Long Li'er aloud, his brows furrowed.

But in fact, Xu Dao was pleasantly surprised.

The biggest danger of Lao Shizi Bai Mao Feng Cave is that the evil wind will interfere with the cultivation of Daoists, so that Daoists cannot advance an inch for ten years, and it is easy to go crazy and disturb the mind.

After Ke Xu Dao went down the mountain, he had discovered that after the Bing Xin spell had reached the realm of Dacheng, he could even block the confusion of the evil spirits.If he practiced a few more spells to clear his mind and calm his mind, he should not be afraid of the white-haired wind cave.

He can even use this retreat to avoid powerful enemies, practice spells well, and polish his infuriating energy.

Naturally, the thoughts in his heart cannot be explained to others. Xu Dao pretended to frown. After a long time, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Long, Pindao chooses the second one."

Hearing Xu Dao's choice, before Long Li'er could speak again, the Mowen Daoist next to him said, "Since Daoyou Xu has already made your choice. Daoyou Long, how about a few words with Daoist Xu?"

When Long Li'er heard it, he hurriedly said yes. He rushed to Xu Dao and said, "After the discussion, fellow Daoist, come back to me and take you to the wind cave."

When Long Li'er left, Mo Wen showed approval and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is really good, and he has a good mind."

He then said, "That guy Fang Guanhai is in retreat, but he also sent someone to bury your hand. If you choose to leave the mountain gate, he will not forgive you lightly after he has mastered his spells!"

"And choosing Baimao Feng Cave, you can not only avoid Fang Guanhai, but also take this opportunity to hone yourself, especially polishing the new cultivation base, which is beneficial and harmless."

Mo Wen's words were also a major reason why Xu Dao chose Baimaofeng Cave.

Staying in the White Bone View, if Fang Guanhai wanted to harm him, he would be somewhat apprehensive.And outside the mountain, the other party would have no worries at all.

And after Xu Dao came out of the mountain, he couldn't hide his traces at all, and could only passively wait for the opponent to kill him, which was not what a wise man did.

But what Mo Wen didn't know was that even if Xu Dao was sitting in the Baimaofeng Cave, he was confident that he could continue to refine his qi, not just to polish his true qi and become familiar with the newly added Taoism.

The two talked a few more words, Mo Wen stood up, the man shook his robe, cupped his hands and said, "Let's say goodbye, Pindao will go first."

Xu Dao hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Mo, for dealing with it! Poor Dao will keep it in mind."

"Hahaha!" Mo Wen burst into laughter, he paused, and then said, "Maybe it won't take three years before we can see fellow Daoist again..."

After he finished speaking, Mo Wen flicked his sleeves and called out, "Go!" He stepped on his feet, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the courtyard.

Xu Dao was stunned when he heard the words. He chewed on what the other party said, and suddenly remembered that something seemed to happen in a year or two.

He was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that he would just take the opportunity to practice for a while and reduce the gap between himself and Fang Guanhai, but he didn't expect that he would not have to be "detained" for three years.

Thinking about it carefully, for Xu Dao, the punishment in the view is close to a fine of three drinks.

On the one hand, he has his own means, and on the other hand, he got the help of Mo Wen.

Xu Dao was grateful, but he thought more about it: "Mo Wen is a person who has cultivated in the late stage of qi refining, and is also one of the eighteen heads in the view... I still have to hurry up and cultivate in order to break through to the middle stage of qi refining. , the later stage, and even the foundation-building stage.”

For Daoists, there are thousands of statements and thousands of attitudes, and they are only respected and cultivated.
