Not climbing the Qingyun Ladder

Chapter 16

"You mean, your body is a crane?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

The old man said with a smile: "Yes, this place is called Hegui, and it is the final resting place of this bad old man like me."

"So, are you really left in the human world by an immortal?" Pei Jin then asked.

"You are right to say that." He did not deny it.

"Are there really immortals?" Su Budu asked as if he was talking to himself.

In fact, for most monks, the concept of immortality is very illusory.After all, there are many great ways, but in the end there are very few who truly achieve enlightenment and ascend.

The world has not heard of any monk ascending for two or three hundred years. The last person who was said to be most likely to ascend was standing in front of them, the one who suffered a thousand divine thunders.

Over time, some people have doubted the authenticity of immortals, and suspected that the realm of immortals was not after knocking on the Tianmen.At this time, Feng Yuqing became a strong evidence to prove the existence of immortals.

You see, it's obvious that she failed the test to become an immortal and that's why she was punished by God.

"Yes." The old man said briefly.

"And it is indeed possible for the person from a hundred years ago to become an immortal." He added.

"You mean Feng Yuqing?" It was Wu Su who spoke this time, and it was obvious that this sentence also aroused his interest.

"My perception is very keen, and this perception is not wrong." The old man twirled his beard and said with a smile.

"Then why do people in the world of cultivation say that Feng Yuqing practiced evil skills to trigger the divine punishment? Can evil practitioners also become immortals?" Li Mu asked in confusion.

"Evil skill? It's really ridiculous. I never thought that Shangqing Kong Ming Jue could be said to be an evil skill. You human monks are quite interesting." The old man seemed to have heard something very funny, and the smile on his face became even brighter. Sheng, the wrinkles have become deeper.

"Speaking of which, don't you know Feng Yuqing? Then you must have seen her do it. In your opinion, is Shangqingkong Mingjue an evil skill?" He asked Wu Su.

"Of course not. I can feel that this technique is extremely mysterious and gives people an endless feeling. Wuxue also said that when fighting Feng Yuqing, the thing she was most afraid of was not the sword in her hand, but her Shangqing Kongming. Jue." Wu Su replied.

"Shangqing Kongming, if she really reaches the last level of Shangqing Kongming, she will be an immortal." What the old man said shocked everyone except Hua Xiangrong.

"What do you mean..." Pei Jin did not continue because this incident was too shocking.

"You are right. The Qing Kong Ming Jue itself is an immortal technique. If I guessed correctly, Feng Yuqing should have reached the eighth level back then." He said.

She was indeed right. If she could break through the ninth level, the so-called divine thunder would not be able to do anything to her.And it was only after she reached the eighth level that she realized that the Shangqing Kong Ming Jue was an immortal technique.

Wait a minute, so there have been so many people looking for it for hundreds of years, some of them want to find the skills left by the sword demon, and some of them also know this secret?Hua Xiangrong's heart tightened. As she continued to think about this, she felt that the fog was getting heavier.

"If she breaks through the eighth level and reaches the ninth level, which is the last level, it will not be her that disappears into thin air at Koutianmen, but the thousand divine thunders." The old man continued.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Then why is she still dead?" Hua Xiangrong asked with a smile.

"I don't know about this anymore." The old man said thoughtfully.

This matter has been bothering him. It stands to reason that Feng Yuqing can break through the last level in front of the Kowtow Gate and ascend to immortality, but in the end he triggers the divine punishment and destroys both body and soul.

"Since she is dead, there is no point in delving into this. You should let us fill our stomachs first." Hua Xiangrong pulled the old man out of his thoughts.

"Yes, this girl is right." The old man sighed and turned to prepare the meal.

Hua Xiangrong sat down and stared at the window in silence.

"Senior Wu Su, is Feng Yuqing really that powerful?" Pei Jin asked.

"Young man, you seem to be very concerned about her affairs." Wu Su said meaningfully.

"This junior just wants to know more about the powerful people in the world of cultivation." Pei Jin said in a sincere tone.

"Feng Yuqing, who is undoubtedly the best swordsman in the world, how can he not be awesome?" Wu Su asked in return.

But he seemed unwilling to say more, and it was hard for Pei Jin to ask more questions.

"No matter how powerful it is, it will still turn into a handful of ashes in the end - maybe there won't even be any ashes left," Hua Xiangrong said.

She seemed to be in a daze, but she heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"Does Miss Xiangrong have anything to do with her?" Su Budu asked blurtly.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized what he was saying and quickly added: "I mean, it seems that every time the topic about her is brought up, your attitude is a little cold or... resistant."

"No. You are thinking too much." Hua Xiangrong said coldly.

Su Budu didn't say anything more, he just looked at her deeply and then showed a relieved smile.

"Just think that I'm overthinking it." His voice was very soft, almost babbled.

All he needs to know is that the woman sitting in the Youfu Inn, meditating, is Hua Xiangrong.

Hua Xiangrong, who didn't know that this extremely smart man was going through a thousand thoughts at this moment, just felt that this man was really sensitive, and it seemed that he would have to pay more attention in the future. "Guests, come and have a meal." The old man's words interrupted their thoughts.

"Old man, I don't know what we should call you?" Wu Su asked.

"Name, let me think about it, just call me He Yi." The old man said with a smile.

He Yi?So are there two cranes, three cranes and four cranes?This name couldn't have been given by that immortal, then he was really casual.Hua Xiangrong thought to herself.

I have to say that old man He Yi is good at cooking and the food he cooks is delicious.The most delicious dish he makes is the drunken shrimp, which is delicious and full-flavored.There is also red date and white fungus soup. After drinking it, I feel refreshed and the fatigue of the journey is gone.

"Your cooking is really good." Hua Xiangrong praised while eating.

"Oh, I can't help it. It's too boring to be alone, so I have to study how to cook." He Yi sighed.

"Didn't I say that the immortal left a few cranes in Hegui? Where did the others go?" Li Mu asked.

"They all flew back." He Yi said.

"Flying back? Back to the place where the immortal lives?" Li Mu asked again.

"Hahahahaha, you are such a young man. Haven't you ever heard of riding a crane to the west? I don't need to tell you what it means to go west." He Yi laughed.

Therefore, two cranes, three cranes and four cranes are dead.

Will the crane raised by the immortal also die?Hua Xiangrong didn't quite understand.

It seems that this old man who claims to be a crane in Qihe Hall has secrets he has not told them.But they can't even worry about cultivation in the human world, let alone the immortal's crane?Therefore, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.

After dinner, they rested for the night at Youfu Inn and had nothing to do.Early the next morning, they would leave Bingzhou and arrive in Yunzhou.

"Have a nice trip, everyone," He Yi said.

After leaving Bingzhou, they found that there were suddenly more people on the road.

"It seems that the Wanbao Pavilion's auction conference is really attractive. So many people are rushing to Yunzhou."

What I saw on the road were those who were not that high in cultivation, and those who could ride the wind, and wield swords and beasts. Yunzhou would definitely be very lively.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiangrong looked at Pei Jin and Su Budu.It stands to reason that the two of them should have a way to get to Yunzhou quickly, so why do they have to follow the caravan from Cangzhou and walk so many miles?
Unless they have to go somewhere along the way.Su Budu went to Cangzhou to seek revenge, and then went to Mianyang to find Wu Su.I don’t know what Pei Jin did when he went to Cangzhou, but looking back now, it was at his suggestion that they entered Duofu Inn in Yiling.

There must be something hidden in this.

Since these matters were none of his business, Hua Xiangrong decided not to ask.After all, everyone has their own secrets and plans.They naturally say what they want to say when they want to say it.

What's more, after getting what they want in Yunzhou, they will part ways.

The journey from Bingzhou to Yunzhou was short, and they arrived quickly.The gate of Yunzhou City was crowded with people and very lively.

Wanbao Pavilion has a high status in the world of cultivation.They can collect all kinds of strange skills and weapon secrets, and keep these things, which is an extremely difficult task in itself.

Wanbao Pavilion has its own set of rules. You can buy and sell weapons and borrow techniques as you please.As long as they are willing, a piece of copper can be exchanged for a magic weapon; if they are not willing, a thousand taels of gold will never be able to borrow even an ordinary skill.

But this seems absurd. In fact, the rule, which depends entirely on the master's mood, has never been broken by anyone for hundreds of years.

There was also a monk who thought he was powerful who challenged their rules. A few days later, news of the monk's death was reported.It is said that he was killed by the guardian elder of Wanbao Pavilion.

It is said that there has been only one master of Wanbao Pavilion since its establishment.The master of the pavilion is named Wan Muchun, and he is a monk. However, no one knows what path he practices, and no one has ever seen him do it.

The rules of Wanbao Pavilion were set down by Wan Muchun.This time the auction meeting was also hosted by him personally.

Feng Yuqing has not done business with Wanbao Pavilion, but one of her friends has dealt with Wan Muchun.According to this friend's description, Wan Muchun is a person with an unstable personality, perverse behavior, and strange behavior.

So I don’t know what his plans are for this so-called auction conference.

But no matter what Hua Xiangrong's intention was, he must obtain that technique.

Wanbao Pavilion was so wealthy that it prepared a resting place for all the monks who came to participate in the auction conference, so Hua Xiangrong and the five of them separated from the caravan after entering Yunzhou.

"Dear guests who have come from afar, I am Wan Muchun." After sitting down, soft voices sounded from all directions.

"This time, we have decided to hold the auction in the Ukiyokan. Now please close your eyes and put your hands on the table."

The Ukiyojian is one of the treasures of Wanbao Pavilion, and its body is a mirror.It is said that this Ukiyojian has its own mirror world and a small space, which is really suitable for holding an auction conference.

"In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, after you enter the Ukiyokan, you won't be able to see the people around you. You can only see the mirrors in front of everyone's desks. Your bids for your favorite items will be displayed on the mirrors, and we will bid based on the bids. Decide on the final buyer.”

"If you don't want this thing, please turn the mirror over and turn it around again when you want to buy it."

Wan Muchun explained very patiently and carefully.

This Ukiyojen is really magical.Hua Xiangrong thought to herself.Wan Muchun's consideration was indeed very thorough.

　I was too tired to update yesterday, so I will continue it today.And ah ah ah ah, baby, don’t leave, can we see each other again?I mean don’t cancel the collection first and then look at it. Is there really anyone else watching it?
