Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 542 Saints don't die, thieves don't stop

This centipede spirit is now in the realm of Yuanshen. At least within five years, Shen Chengping cannot be his opponent. The Eight Ominous Profound Fire Formation has at most only a [-]% chance of winning.

That centipede spirit is not a vegetarian either, especially after he becomes a national teacher, he can use the luck of the country and the dragon energy to cultivate. In this way, the advancement of cultivation base must be rapid, and Shen Chengping's chances of winning will be even smaller at that time. So after thinking about it, Shen Chengping felt that either he would find an opportunity to take advantage of the Tiangou's eclipse and the centipede's spirit power to strike as he did in the original plot, or else he would directly ask for help, or he would wait until Pudu Cihang really After transforming into a dragon, soaring to the nine heavens, even if he had just transformed into a dragon, there were no three real immortals who could make arrangements together. It would be a dream to really take him down.

I don't know how long it will take until the Tengu Eclipse, and it's not [-]% safe, so in Shen Chengping's opinion, it's more reliable to ask his own teacher to help.

Under Shen Chengping's guidance, Yan Chixia Yujian brought Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi to Laoshan Mountain. After meditating all the way, the expressions of the two of them returned to normal, at least they can move around freely , As for recovering from the injury, it may be impossible without a month or two of effort.

Landing in front of the gate of Shangqingguan, Yan Chixia put away the flying sword. At this time, there were two disciples who were apprentices in front of the gate. When she saw Yan Chixia put away the flying sword, envy flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, this is my master's sect, Laoshan Sect, Shangqingguan, Xueqi, Brother Yan, you come with me!" After saying that, he entered the Shangqing Temple first.

When I came to the main hall, I happened to see the master doing the morning class. Another inheritance of Laoshan Shangqing Temple, the practice of "Shangqing Lingyu Zhenjing" is different from ordinary exercises. In practice, the more times you recite, the deeper your skill will be. Once you reach a sufficient state, you will be able to learn further chapters. Therefore, every morning class, the master will recite with his disciples, and the rest of the time will be based on each disciple's time. Likes, alchemy, learning talisman seals and so on can do whatever you want. At this time, only the master Liu Laodao and the senior brother are in the hall.

Seeing Shen Chengping's return, Liu Laodao took a look, then disappeared on the futon, grabbed Shen Chengping's wrist, and after a while, said: "Chengping, what kind of monster did you meet to be so seriously injured? Who is it?!"

"Master, after visiting Mount Qingcheng this time, I have traveled around, and later I met Miss Lu Xueqi from the Shushan School near Kunlun Mountain. Miss Lu and I went together. After we arrived in Jinzhou City, we overheard Speaking of a large number of children missing, this Brother Yan is also a disciple of the Shushan School. At that time, he served as the chief arrester of the 26 provinces of the imperial court and was responsible for investigating and handling cases. His disciples cooperated with him and finally discovered that all this was done by a centipede who had practiced Buddhist supernatural powers. , It’s just that the centipede’s cultivation base is too high and has already entered the realm of the primordial spirit, the disciples and others were defeated, and after being injured, they barely escaped from the pursuit of the centipede.”

Shen Chengping didn't say that Pudu Cihang was the imperial court's national teacher, because during the process of meeting the two sides, there was no dialogue to reveal their identities, so Shen Chengping didn't have extra troubles, and there was no need to make up nonsense.

What makes Shen Chengping strange is that after hearing Shen Chengping talk about the process of fighting against Pudu Cihang, especially after knowing that Purdue Cihang will kill the mantra and the two supernatural powers of Tathagata Dharma, a flash of light flashed in his eyes There was a strange expression, which was fleeting, making Shen Chengping almost think it was an illusion.

After Shen Chengping finished speaking, the master pondered for a while, and said: "I've made it clear about this matter, I will go to Jinzhou to check, you and Miss Lu are seriously injured, and this one, I think, has just broken through the realm, and needs to be dealt with." With a solid cultivation base, you might as well stay here today, and I will take care of that centipede by myself."

"Disciple knows!" Shen Chengping nodded, then took out a jade, and continued: "When I fought against the opponent, I already left a tracking mark on the centipede spirit, and this mark can be kept for three days. , Master can use the imprint to search for it!"

"Hmm!" Liu Laodao took Shen Chengping's jade, nodded, and ordered: "You guys go to retreat and cultivate yourself, I will get someone to bring some Jinglian Dan to heal your wounds later!"

With Master's order, Shen Chengping retreated with Lu Xueqi to heal his wounds, and Yan Chixia also needed time to consolidate her cultivation, so she stayed in Shangqing Temple. After several days like this, Shen Chengping I got the news from Master that Pudu Cihang disappeared. When Master arrived near Jinzhou, that Pudu Cihang had disappeared, and the tracking mark that Shen Chengping had set before was also removed. Master searched for it for several days. If it fails, you can only return to the Shangqing Temple.

There is no problem with what the master said, but Shen Chengping's intuition told himself that there was something strange about it. After thinking about it carefully, he realized the special expression of the master when he mentioned the centipede essence that day, and Shen Chengping was startled suddenly. Said: "Is it really as I guessed?"

However, Shen Chengping then carefully recalled the plot of Pudu Cihang's appearance, and then combined with some things he knew when he came to Liaozhai World, he gradually came up with a guess, that is, the reason why Pudu Cihang was able to become a country Master, the theft of the Dragon Qi of the National Fortune is very likely the result of someone's deliberate connivance, and this person is his master, and most of them even have other people's participation.

In fact, Shen Chengping's guess is also based on grounds. Generally speaking, the cultivation sects in the Liao Zhai world will have disciples and elders who serve as enshrinements in the court. It's just that since ten years ago, the offerings of these sects in the court have returned to the sect one after another. However, the imperial court could only recruit some casual cultivators to become offerings, which gave Pudu Cihang an opportunity, because these casual cultivators had limited means, and it was difficult to see through Pudu Cihang's disguise.

Moreover, according to the plot, the world is in chaos, which is largely due to the fact that Pudu Cihang sucked up the flesh and blood of civil and military officials, turning them all into walking corpses. The chaotic court affairs also exacerbated the local chaos.

The world of Liaozhai seems to be full of monsters, but in fact the strength of the major sects is not at a disadvantage. As far as Shen Chengping understands, there are three or five true immortals in each orthodox cultivation sect, and the following disciples are not given for nothing. Let’s talk about the Laoshan School, my senior brother, third senior brother, and fourth senior brother are already in the Nascent Soul Realm, several other senior brothers have also entered Jindan for many years, and Qingcheng School also has more than [-] direct disciples, most of them are Jindan , and two Nascent Souls, and there are hundreds of Shushan School disciples. According to Lu Xueqi, in addition to the head of the True Immortal Realm, there are even senior brothers who have broken through the Primordial Spirit Realm, and there are several elders who are also in the Primordial Spirit Realm. The Kunlun sect was even more powerful. There were at least a few thousand casual cultivators who went to Kunlun Mountain to listen to the lecture that day. This was just a force gathered by a sect in Kunlun, and its own strength should not be underestimated.

If this kind of power is serious, it is not difficult to assist the imperial court to wipe out evil spirits, and it is not a problem to see through Purdue Cihang, but it just allows it to develop, and almost completes the dragon. Later, Yan Chixia, a registered disciple of Shushan In addition, an ordinary disciple of the Kunlun School got rid of the centipede spirit by chance, so it was not right no matter how I thought about it.

So Shen Chengping has the current conjecture that the series of actions of Pudu Cihang were all done with the connivance of the Zhengdao sect. Now the court is in its final stage, that is to say, a small number of elite and good ministers barely renew their lives in the court. Seeing that it is a sign of a change of dynasty, the Zhengdao sect may connive at Pudu Cihang as a behind-the-scenes pusher, and then remove it directly after it successfully transforms into a dragon. You must know that a real dragon is a treasure, even if it is a big dragon All sects will be envious, and Purdue Cihang is full of sins, so getting rid of him is justified.

Such speculation filled Shen Chengping with admiration, and at the same time secretly said: "Sure enough, saints do not die, and thieves abound. The same goes for this cultivator."
