The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 410: Divine Machine Change, Insightful Observation

Seeing this scene in front of him, Bai Tan suddenly became anxious. He ran to the bow of the ship and shouted to the island: "Qinglin——"

"Hei Wa——"

"Xiao Feng——"

"Are you on the island-"

"We are here to rescue you——"

"Lu Qian is here to save you—"

Bai Tan shouted a few times, but there was no movement on the island. Instead, many of the frantic animals in the water on the shore of the island noticed them.

Dozens of water snakes suddenly jumped out of the water and flew into the air towards the ghost sail.

Zuo Qiuling, who was standing on the bow of the boat, snorted coldly. She suddenly jumped up and jumped off the bow. Her body was suspended in the air between the ghost sail and the lake. She spread her arms and spun in the air.

Several thin black lines appeared out of thin air all around, forming several circles around Zuo Qiuling. A black line crossed the snake's body, and the water snake's body immediately broke into several sections and fell from the air.

Then, just as Zuo Qiuling was preparing to deal with the subsequent attack of the water snake, she suddenly heard a person on the bow shout: "Look at me——"

Before Luo Runbao finished speaking, she stood on the bow of the boat, hugging her hands forward as if hugging a full moon, and kept this posture motionless.

Below, on the lake, there was a sudden "crash" sound, and a large area of ​​lake water suddenly surged upward, forming half a water ball.

The huge water ball is packed with dense fish and water snakes, the number of which is unknown.

The water ball rose from under the surface of the water, bulged out of the water, continued to rise, and finally left the lake and continued to rise upwards.

The water ball continued to rise, finally rising above the ghost sail.

Lu Qian and others stood on the deck and looked straight down. They could see the round water ball and the fish rolling inside.

Luo Runbao, who is "holding the moon in her arms," ​​still maintains this posture steadily. This thin little girl's current movements are like holding a large water tank, which looks inexplicably funny.

Suddenly, her arms suddenly pressed inward, and the "Moon Holding" in her arms shrank by more than half.

Following her movements, the size of the huge water ball in the sky also suddenly shrunk by more than half.

A large amount of lake water overflowed from around the water ball and poured downwards, forming an extremely rare spherical waterfall.

The lake water in the water balloon was almost drained out in a short time. In the suddenly reduced volume of the water balloon, only densely packed fish were left, overlapping and squeezed together.

The fish in the outermost layer can still swing their tails to struggle; but the fish in the inner layer are squeezed to the point of being unable to move at all.

Luo Runbao turned to look at Lu Qian, with a proud look on his face, and said very show off: "Sir, do you want to eat fish? I caught a lot of fish."

Lu Qian said: "Only ghosts eat fish like this."

Luo Runbao curled his lips and seemed unhappy with Lu Qian's use of the word "ghost".

Before she could say anything, suddenly, a voice came from the island: "Brother Qian, is that you?"

Judging from the voice, it belonged to Zhao Xiaofeng.

Lu Qian followed the sound and saw three figures suddenly appeared on the isolated hill on the small island in front of him. Halfway up the mountain, they were running up the hillside. From time to time, they raised their heads and looked at the huge thing suspended in the air. sailboat.

Bai Tan high-fived and smiled, saying, "They are indeed here."

Although they were too far away to see clearly, these three people were clearly Qing Lin, Hei Wa and Zhao Xiaofeng.

Lu Qian glanced at Luo Runbao, Zuo Qiuling and Ji Siyu, and said to them, "Go and pick them up."

Qinglin might be able to fly briefly, but Xiaofeng and Heiwa couldn't do it at all.

When Lu Qian spoke, he gave them each a look.

Luo Runbao was careless and didn't pay attention to Lu Qian's eyes. Zuo Qiuling and Ji Siyu both saw it. They nodded, then flew out of the boat and flew directly over the island.

They hadn't seen Qing Lin and the others for a long time, and when they suddenly discovered three people with vaguely similar statures, they couldn't help but be wary of something strange among them. So when Lu Qian sent out the mission, he also reminded them to pay more attention.

The three people flew over the island and were not in a hurry to land. Instead, they observed it carefully for a while before falling from the sky.

After a while, three figures flew up from the island again.

This time, the three figures were all "fatter".

The three Zuo Qiuling women were flying again, each carrying a person on their backs.

The three women carried Xiaofeng, Qinglin and Heiwa respectively on their backs, crossed the fire ring from high altitude, and flew back to the bow of the ship.

Before landing, Xiaofeng slipped off Zuo Qiuling's back and landed on the deck.

She ran towards Lu Qian with a face of joy and said happily: "Brother Qian, it's great that you... are okay. This time, I have been worried."

"Lu Qian."

Qing Lin and Hei Wa both landed on the ground, looked at Lu Qian, and shouted at the same time.

Lu Qian smiled at them, nodded, and asked, "Are you all okay?"

Hei Wa said: "If you don't come, something might happen. Things in this lake suddenly went crazy. Bai Tan, we are relieved to see that you are okay."

His last words were to Bai Tan.

Bai Tan chuckled and said, "Of course I'm fine."

Ao Lanxi looked at these unfamiliar faces in front of him and couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Sir, it's better to leave here first and then reminisce about the past."

Lu Qian nodded, Guifan raised the sail again, flew directly over Wanshe Island, climbed high into the sky, drew a semicircle, turned around and flew east.

Naturally, Xiaofeng and the others had already noticed the unfamiliar faces like Ao Lanxi. When they heard the words "Mr. sir," their identities were self-evident.

Lu Qian briefly introduced each other to everyone, and then talked to each other about the situation after parting. Although he only briefly recounted it, by the time the conversation was over, a trace of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky.

That day, Qinglin and Xiaofeng were attacked by Monk Kong at the inn in Quyang Town.

Qing Lin stopped Kong and struck him, then immediately ran away with Xiao Feng.

They left Quyang Town and ran south for hundreds of miles before they escaped the pursuit of many monks.

It was several days later when he was completely freed from the monk's tracking.

The two people who had just breathed a sigh of relief began to face the problem before them.

Qing Lin is not good at words, and she is technically still a teenager, not mature physically or mentally. Although she has always behaved relatively strongly, when she was with Hei Wa and Bai Tan, it was Bai Tan who had the big idea.

Now when it was her turn to make up her mind when it came to serious matters, Qing Lin had no idea.

Xiaofeng grew up in the mountains and had never seen much of the world. After she came out of the mountains, Lu Qian followed suit and she didn't need to think about anything.

Now that they both had no support at the same time, they were immediately helpless.

Xiaofeng wanted to go to Lone Wolf Ridge to find Lu Qian, but she was afraid that those monks were guarding Quyang Town. If they went there, they would not only throw themselves into a trap, but they would also harm Qinglin.

After discussing half of the salary, the two of them couldn't come up with an idea.

In the end, the two decided-

When Heiwa arrived, the three of them discussed together.

Hei Wa and Qing Lin have a special demonic connection.

After waiting for another two days, they finally arrived at Heiwa.

Hei Wa is older than Qing Lin in terms of age, but he can still be considered a "half-grown boy".

He looked at the two people looking at him expectantly, held it in for a long time, and then said: "Lu Qian and Bai Tan are both smart. If we rush in recklessly, instead of being able to help, we might be caught by the monk first." Now, we have to wait for Lu Qian to come to the rescue.

I think we should go back to Ten Thousand Snakes Island first and wait for news from them. "

Hei Wa simply came up with the idea of ​​"keeping the same unchanged in response to all changes".

Hearing Hei Wa's words, Xiaofeng looked disappointed.

However, she can't think of a better way at the moment. Using their strength to challenge the fourth-grade cave underworld is just looking for death.

Xiaofeng has a "submissive" personality and is a person who finds it difficult to say "no" to others. She could only nod at the moment and said: "That's the only way it can be. After we settle down in Ten Thousand Snake Island, we can go out to find out more information."

Hei Wa patted his chest and said, "Put it on me."

Soon afterwards, great changes occurred in Shuiyun Temple.

……

Listening to Xiaofeng and Heiwa's miscellaneous stories about their experiences and decision-making process, Bai Tan tried his best to hold back his laughter, but in the end he couldn't hold it back either.

He smiled for a while and said to Lu Qian: "This time, the fool has made a contribution."

The "cunt" in Bai Tan's words is, of course, Hei Wa.

After they finished describing what happened, Xiaofeng looked at Lu Qian with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother Qian, you don't blame me for not looking for you, do you?"

Lu Qian reached out and touched her head and said with a smile, "I agree with Bai Tan. You did the right thing this time."

Bai Tan followed closely and said, "Lu Qian is right. If Xiaofeng breaks into Lone Wolf Ridge with your little ability, you will simply die."

Xiaofeng: "..."

Lu Qian believed that if she was alone, she would go to Lone Wolf Ridge to find him at all costs, even if she knew she would die.

But with Qing Lin and Hei Wa, she couldn't help but think about it.

After getting along for a long time, Xiaofeng can actually see that although these two are stronger than her, they are actually two children who have not grown up.

With them, Xiaofeng has an additional responsibility on her shoulders.

Looking at Xiaofeng, who was still struggling in his heart, Lu Qian took her hand and said, "Don't think too much, everything is fine now. That bald donkey will be killed by me too."

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Xiaofeng and Heiwa looked up at him at the same time, with surprise on their faces.

Qing Lin even looked at Lu Qian, his eyes almost shining.

Having fought against Kong Liao in person, she knew the monk's strength very well.

Immediately, Qing Lin didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly darkened again, and he said: "Lu Qian, your strength has improved so fast, I... feel like I'm of no use anymore." Lu Qian smiled after hearing this, and said, "Qing Lin's eloquence is incomparable. It was much clearer before.”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled.

In the past, it was difficult for Qing Lin to speak a long and concise sentence in one breath.

Bai Tan said: "What's more, after a few months of not seeing each other, the green scales have grown back a bit, and the scales on the face have peeled off a lot, and even the eyes..."

As soon as he mentioned "eyes", Bai Tan's expression suddenly changed and he immediately swallowed the words that followed.

Sure enough, the next moment, Qing Lin's fierce eyes shot at him.

It's taboo to comment on Qing Lin's appearance.

Especially her triangular eyes.

That is an absolute taboo and cannot be said.

Of course, praise is not taboo.

When Bai Tan saw Qing Lin's murderous look, he quickly changed the subject and said to Lu Qian, "She's beautiful too. Qing Lin is even more beautiful than before."

Lu Qian looked at Qing Lin, whom he hadn't seen for several months. Upon closer inspection, he discovered some changes in Qing Lin.

The small face is longer and more rounded; a pair of triangular eyes and the "points" above the eyes are also smoothed, and the two eyes tend to be pulled apart to both sides.

While they were talking, Ao Lanxi interrupted and said, "My lord, it's almost dawn, shall we continue on our way?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

Ao Lan ridiculed: "Then... let me go ahead and take a look and find a town to rest?"

Lu Qian shook his head again and said, "We don't have to worry about food and drink. There are sufficient preparations in the Moon Palace. There is no need to go to the town."

As he spoke, he looked at a large mountain in front of him in the distance, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go there and find a remote place to stay for two days."

Ao Lanxi was stunned when he heard Lu Qian said he would "stay for two days" and said, "Aren't we going to the East China Sea in a hurry?"

Lu Qian said: "I've been feeling something recently and want to retreat for a few days."

When Ao Lanxi heard this, he immediately understood.

He is preparing to break through the fourth-grade cave underworld!

Looking at Lu Qian, Ao Lanxi couldn't hide the look of envy on his face.

As she spent more time with Lu Qian, Ao Lanxi discovered more and more that her husband, who came out of nowhere, was anything but an ordinary person.

In hundreds of years, she had never heard of anyone being able to continuously break through major realms within a few months like Lu Qian.

However, Ao Lanxi is a smart person and should never ask questions.

Ao Lan Xi Kai Ling has been around for more than a hundred years, and his knowledge is far beyond what children like Zuo Qiuling and Ji Siyu can compare with.

The more knowledgeable a person is, the more he knows how to speak carefully and keep his mouth shut.

But Zuoqiu Ling, Ji Siyu and the others are ignorant and fearless.

They would never think about why Lu Qian's strength improved so quickly.

In their view, their husband-in-law was born to be a great hero riding on colorful clouds, and it would not be surprising if he did any amazing things.

As it should.

……

An hour later.

When the sun completely rose from the east, Lu Qian had landed in a desolate mountain.

Before entering the mountain, Lu Qian took a walk outside after hearing Ao Lanxi's report.

What I can see in front of me is that just as Ao Lanxi said, the people here have obviously heard the news, and they have all fled eastward with their families.

Not to mention that deep in the mountains, even the villages and towns on the plains outside were deserted, and not a single person could be seen.

Although the time is still short, the villages, towns and fields still do not look dilapidated and desolate.

However, the scene of the end is already beginning to take shape.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"Is the Red Moon Disaster really inevitable?"

……

Everyone worked together and soon built a temporary camp in this valley.

After eating and drinking, Lu Qian climbed a mountain next to the camp alone.

Lu Qian didn't know the name of this mountain. He only knew that it was the highest mountain within a hundred miles.

Standing on the top of the peak, it seems that we are closer to the scorching sun in the sky.

The cold mountain breeze seemed to warm me up a bit.

The cave is dark.

Insight into the principles of all things and meditate on the shadow of heaven and earth.

There is spiritual energy in heaven and earth.

However, not everyone can naturally feel the presence of spiritual energy.

In ancient times, there was a set of "opening" techniques. Through practice, people can open some special acupoints on the body, feel the existence of spiritual energy, and absorb spiritual energy for practice.

At that time, it was the most beautiful era for all mankind, including birds, animals, vegetation, and flowers.

In the past, through cultivation, people could become immortals, gain enlightenment, and navigate the universe.

As the spiritual energy continues to pass, the spiritual energy becomes thinner and thinner, and eventually becomes so thin that it cannot absorb the spiritual energy even if it is "enlightened".

"Enlightenment" lost its meaning and was eventually abandoned by people.

After losing their aura, people had to find new ways to practice, and gradually evolved into today's practice system.

If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be claimed, then one can only claim oneself.

Get "spiritual energy" from people themselves.

Of course, the so-called "true spirit energy" that the human body has worked so hard to produce is naturally far from what it was back then.

The cultivators today are far from comparable to the cultivators back then.

Even in the first-level Immortal Realm that is now difficult to reach, in terms of strength, it is much worse than the powerful cultivators of the past.

However, being an Earth Immortal is already the highest state that modern people can achieve at their best.

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely thin and almost impossible to absorb, this does not mean that "Dongming" is meaningless.

In essence, human beings still have to rely on "dongming" to break the shackles of the human body itself so that it can reach a higher state.

In a sense, Lu Qian feels that the "dongming" of today's people is somewhat similar to the "foundation building" of the cultivators of the past.

But there are big differences.

The cave contains heaven, earth, Tao, and heart.

This is the basis for the next stage to be able to "follow the laws of heaven and earth."

Lu Qian took off the Blue Sea Sword from his back and laid it on a big rock in front of him. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Three hours later, Lu Qian gradually felt that he had entered an "ethereal" state.

Then, he directly upgraded the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" and at the same time increased his own "True Spirit Qi" to a thousand points.

Breaking through the cave realm requires two conditions.

The first is to reach the basic level of cultivation, that is, the level of "true spirit energy" one possesses reaches the peak that the Guiyuan realm can accommodate.

The second one is realm.

The first one is not a problem at all for Lu Qian.

When the true spirit energy was once again filled to the point of overflowing, Lu Qian began to condense the ninth item of "returning energy".

Lu Qian is now very familiar with the condensation of "Returning Qi", and by the end of the day, he has completed it.

At this time, Lu Qian opened his eyes and looked to the west.

The red sun is setting in the west and has fallen into the mountains.

The brilliant rays of light coated the entire mountain range in the west with a layer of bright red.

The sharp peaks seemed like teeth soaked in blood at this moment.

It is like a huge mouth lying horizontally, with the ambition to swallow the sky and eat the sun.

Seeing this scene at first sight, Lu Qian felt his mind widened, and everything around him seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes.

Obviously nothing has changed, but Lu Qian made different discoveries through his senses.

This "sensory" feeling is obviously different from the mental perception of the outside world.

Lu Qian stared at the falling red sun for a long time——

Until the last trace of the red sun was swallowed up; a silver-gray curtain was replaced and shrouded in the sky again.

Lu Qian took a deep breath and sat cross-legged again.

Nine yuan returns to one.

The divine mechanism changes and the insight is revealed.

The Fourth Grade Cave Underworld.

break!
