Ask about the Immortal Way

Chapter 2108 Take care of yourself

Qin Sang and Ji Hong received Si Lu's message and immediately set off to rush back to the Storm Realm to arrange the reception.

This time, the Zhuyan tribe only sent Yuan Miao, and Si Lu accompanied Yuan Miao. The two concealed their tracks and did not alert the Changyou tribe and other alien tribes, and quietly arrived at the Storm Realm.

They landed in the West, and on the land, traces of the war between the two tribes were everywhere.

From these traces, we can see how tragic the war was, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a blood feud.

The West was full of yellow sand and desolate, and there was no trace of people in the oasis.

Although the Changyou tribe had withdrawn, the monks in the West were not in a hurry to return to their homeland, and were still on guard against the Changyou tribe's comeback. Qin Sang's statement at the Qingyang Temple ceremony also confirmed this.

After flying in the desert for a while, he finally sensed the breath of the monks.

"Slow down."

Yuan Miao said.

The two slowed down their speed and saw from afar an oasis between the sand dunes. There was a Buddhist temple in the oasis, but there were no civilians.

The Buddhist temple was shining with golden light, the temple door was closed, and it was quiet and peaceful.

But with their cultivation, they could sense that there were many monks in the temple, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"This is a lower courtyard of the Great Compassion Zen Temple," Si Lu introduced.

This temple is used like an outpost. Si Lu did not explain too much, and believed that Yuan Miao could see it.

Yuan Miao nodded without saying anything, and flew forward for a while, and saw several temples one after another, all of which were in similar situations.

Continuing to fly, he finally saw the shadow of a mortal, working hard. This place is very close to the Great Compassion Zen Temple. It has not been affected by the war in these years, and it is a thriving scene.

"I didn't expect so many foreigners to live here. I didn't know anything about it before," Yuan Miao couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

Si Lu glanced at him. On the way here, Yuan Miao had been silent and unpredictable. At this moment, judging from his tone and expression, he seemed to be not opposed to the human race.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please, this formation can lead to Zhongzhou. Brother Qin should be waiting for you on the other side," Si Lu stretched out his hand and led Yuan Miao to fly to the ancient teleportation formation.

The guards guarding the teleportation formation had already received orders and lined up to salute.

These people were carefully selected to cater to the temperament of the Zhuyan tribe. They were all experienced in battle and had high fighting spirit.

When Yuan Miao saw it, his eyes were indeed full of surprise and he praised it on the spot.

The two boarded the teleportation formation, and the light flashed in front of them. They had already appeared in Zhongzhou. Qin Sang was waiting outside the formation in person, laughing loudly, and bowed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, long time no see."

"Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Yuan Miao's eyes lit up, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Sang's arm, and said excitedly, "The last time I said goodbye to you, I missed you so much!"

Li Yufu and others on the side couldn't help but look sideways.

Qin Sang secretly complained, it was really awkward to hear such words coming from this old monkey.

He smiled: "Last time I fought with you, Qin also benefited a lot and found many of my own shortcomings."

Yuan Miao's eyes became brighter and brighter, "It turns out that heroes think alike. In this case, let's fight again!"

Qin Sang and Si Lu exchanged glances. Yuan Miao's attitude was enough to explain some problems.

His tone relaxed, "Qin has been checking for deficiencies and making up for them over the years, and his magical powers and Taoist skills have not improved. Even if we fight again, I can't give you many surprises."

"No problem! No problem!"

Yuan Miao shook his head repeatedly, "After you left, I have been thinking hard about how to crack your Golden Sun Method. I have achieved some results, and I am looking for an opportunity to verify it with you."

Qin Sang was also curious about how Yuan Miao cracked his Sun Seal, but now was not the time, "You are here with an important responsibility, and it is a matter of life and death for us. Qin cannot rest assured until this matter is settled. As for the exchange, can we discuss it later?"

"Yes! Yes! That's right!"

Yuan Miao is not a person who makes trouble, and he was happy to see the prey just now.

After Qin Sang's reminder, he remembered the instructions of the tribe, his expression became serious, and he flew to Qingyang Temple surrounded by Qin Sang and others.

On the way to Qingyang Temple, Yuan Miao quietly observed Li Yufu and others, making sure that their respect and admiration for Qin Sang were all from the heart.

Not long after, everyone arrived at Qingyang Temple.

The gate of Qingyang Temple was wide open, and the sect was filled with auspicious lights and auspicious colors. The cultivators lined up and the bells and drums rang, which was more grand than the previous ceremony.

Amidst the compliments, Yuan Miao looked around the gate of Qingyang Temple, and finally looked up at Luye in the clouds, his eyes narrowed.

After staring for a while, he turned sideways and said something to Qin Sang, then flew to Luye with Qin Sang and Si Lu and landed in front of the statue.

The statue was weathered, but jade-like and full.

At their level, even if they did not practice the Mahayana, they could sense the magic of this statue.

Yuan Miao could determine at a glance that this statue was definitely not newly established.

"Is this statue Qin Daoyou?"

Yuan Miao looked at Qin Sang.

Qin Sang nodded, "I am ashamed to say that I did some insignificant things before, but they were remembered by the world, thinking that Qin was no longer alive, and erected this stone statue."

"Only by practicing for a lifetime and benefiting the people can one be called a saint, Fellow Daoist Qin is too modest," Yuan Miao shook his head.

Qin Sang stared at the statue and remained silent.

There were many coincidences in his being a 'saint'. However, regardless of whether it was his original intention, as long as he could protect the Storm Realm, he would be worthy of the name.

However, Qin Sang was still exploring the Mahayana path.

At the Qingyang Temple Ceremony, Qin Sang showed both kindness and power, and people's hearts were attached to him, but his merits were not touched much.

Recalling the path of cultivation after Lianxu, Qin Sang had a clear understanding.

The Mahayana way of killing is the way of Mahayana, and it is also the way of killing.

He used the Thunder Altar to kill the Ancestor Ming Falcon in Yuedu Bay, forced him to retreat from Yundu Mountain, and restored peace to the world. He suddenly understood many principles in the "Ziwei Sword Sutra" and was only one step away from the middle stage of refining the void. Therefore, you can successfully break through after seeing the icon.

He was able to gain great insights, firstly, because he protected the common people and practiced the Mahayana way; more importantly, at that time, he had just broken through the Void Refining stage and had just recovered from his injuries. He dared to deal with two veteran Void Refiners, two masters who dominated one side. power.

When practicing the "Ziwei Sword Sutra", you still have to focus on the word 'kill'.

Killing every opponent is a baptism for your courage, faith and even your pursuit of Tao.

Dare to face powerful enemies for the sake of those you protect. The stronger the enemy is, the greater your improvement will be.

At the same time, the stronger the enemy, the more desperate the person being protected will be. When the clouds clear and the sun finally clears, the more grateful and worshipful he will be!

Therefore, protecting the Storm Realm and blocking powerful enemies this time is also a journey of enlightenment for Qin Sang.

Silu didn't know that when the Thunder Altar was built, Qin Sang hoped that the strong men from the Siyou clan would come to the door.

Of course, the Storm Realm has a special meaning and Liuli's efforts have been poured into it. Qin Sang will not deliberately risk the Storm Realm. If it can be resolved smoothly now, Qin Sang is still willing.

As for enlightenment, he has plenty of life and is not in a hurry. At worst, he will go out to find a suitable dojo. Exploitation and oppression can be seen everywhere in the world.

Yuan Miao could not have imagined that Qin Sang would have so many thoughts running through his mind in such a short period of time.

After confirming Qin Sang's identity, Yuan Miao said solemnly: "I want to ask my friend again, has Daoist Fellow Daoist decided to lead Storm Continent to attach to Fellow Daoist Qu?"

Qin Sang said seriously: "Exactly!"

"Okay, since it is your own decision, our clan will not interfere too much."

Yuan Miao turned to Si Lu again, "Qu Daoyou wants to find a place to stay in the Taoist temple, which is in line with the etiquette stipulated in the ancient covenant. But Qu Daoyou must remember not to cause trouble for no reason, otherwise I will personally drive you out."

Silu looked at Qin Sang, "Brother Qin and the others have a grudge against the Changyou clan. If the Changyou clan comes back, if we fight back, wouldn't it be considered an unprovoked trouble?"

"Of course not, but we hope that the grievances between you will not involve too much. I plan to go to the Changyou clan in person and try to reconcile the matter. I wonder what your attitude is?"

Yuan Miao stared into Qin Sang's eyes.

This is equivalent to gaining the approval of the Zhu Yan clan, so that the Storm Realm can legitimately establish itself here. Moreover, judging from Yuan Miao's tone, the Zhu Yan clan not only did not want to go to any side, but also did not seem to want other Yu clans to get involved.

This is exactly what Qin Sang wants to achieve by relying on Silu.

Qin Sang muttered: "We are foreigners. We can't fight alone in the sea of ​​fog, so naturally we don't want to start a war. If the Changyou clan is willing to take a step back, Qin will consider it carefully."

"That's good," Yuan Miao's expression softened, thinking that it would not be difficult to convince the Changyou clan, and asked about the situation of the last confrontation.

Qin Sang said Zaizhen’s name.

Yuan Miao frowned, "Since when did this kid have friendship with the Changyou Clan? Who else is there?"

Qin Sang described the person who stopped Su Nu.

"Since you are standing out for others, why hide your head and show your tail? I want to see who it is!" Yuan Miao snorted, greatly dissatisfied.

Later, Qin Sang invited Yuan Miao to visit the main peak.

After the banquet, Yuan Miao stood up and said, "I will write a letter now and ask the Minzuo clan leader to come and talk about it. Which place does Fellow Daoist Qin think is suitable?"

Qin Sang said: "Between us and the Changyou clan, there is a Yan Island, located exactly in the middle."

"Okay, this is the place!"

Yuan Miao sent a talisman letter overnight, but he stayed behind to compete with Qin Sang.

Qin Sang reciprocated and met his request. After a lot of discussion, he himself gained a lot.

Yuan Miao studied how to crack the Sun Seal. Although he did not gain much, he also helped Qin Sang discover several shortcomings.

Unfortunately, Qin Sang has clearly understood the true meaning of "Purple Micro Sword Sutra" and must major in this method. "Celestial Demon Refining" can only be placed in a secondary position, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the middle stage.

After waiting for a month, the letter was like a stone, and there was no response from the Changyou clan, not even a reply.

Everyone felt something was unusual.

In the main hall, everyone gathered, and Yuan Miao guessed: "Clan Chief Minzhuo will think that I am acting without telling the clan, rather than my intention of the Zhuyan Clan. I suspect that I have been bribed by you and have evil intentions towards them. There was a misunderstanding?"

"Fellow Taoist Yuan's inference is not unreasonable. It seems that I have to trouble fellow Taoist to make the trip in person," Silu said.

"Forget it, I'm just going for a walk. You two might as well go to Yan Island for a while," Yuan Miao said.

"good!"

Qin Sang and the others set off immediately.

They went out to sea from Xitu, traveled southwest, flew across the vast ocean, and saw a fiery red island.

The red color comes from the rocks on the island, but there is a volcano in the center of the island with magma raging inside and may erupt at any time.

Qin Sang and Si Lu landed on the island, watched Yuan Miao off, and waited quietly on the island.

…

Changyou Clan, Holy Lake.

Yuan Miao didn't stop for a moment and came to the shore of the holy lake.

Although the Changyou clan belongs to the Zhu Yanyu clan and is a small clan, its inheritance comes from ancient times. In the ancient covenant, every tribe is equal.

Yuan Miao straightened his clothes, took out the token representing the status of the elder of the Zhu Yan tribe, solemnly wrote a greeting note, and entered it into the holy lake.

The invitation turned into a stream of light and submerged into the holy lake formation.

Not long after, the water curtain parted to both sides, and several rays of light rushed out. The leader was Min Shu, the son of Min Zhuo, and the rest were all elders of the Changyou clan.

Minshu glanced around and saw Yuan Miao standing with his hands behind his back, looking nervous. He hurriedly fell in front of Yuan Miao and paid homage.

"I didn't know that the distinguished envoy of the superior clan was coming, and we missed the welcome. Please forgive me, envoy!"

Yuan Miao frowned, "Who are you?"

"The junior Min Shu, my father is the clan leader Min Zhuo. The clan leader is in retreat, and the junior is ordered to perform the responsibilities of the clan leader on his behalf."

Minshu replied respectfully.

"Since you are the acting clan leader, have you not received a talisman letter from me before?" Yuan Miao asked.

Min Shu was startled and said in shock: "That talisman letter was actually written by the envoy? The younger generation has little knowledge and dare not go beyond the rules. After receiving it, he sent it to my father's mansion and asked my father to open it. But my father has been in seclusion, so If you delay, please punish me.”

Yuan Miao snorted, but did not want to get angry with the junior, and said: "I am here because I have an important matter to discuss with the Minzuo clan leader. You can go and tell me about it as soon as possible."

"this……"

Min Shu showed hesitation on his face, "My father has not made a breakthrough for a long time. It is at the critical moment of stabilizing his cultivation. I don't know if I can get out immediately. I hope that your envoy can enter the holy lake first and let us express our feelings."

Yuan Miao could understand this, and thought it would be okay to let Qin Sang and the others wait a little longer, so he said: "The Holy Lake is an important place for your clan, so I won't go in. I like mountains and clear springs, and this place suits my heart very well. You can go now Report it."

After saying that, he dropped to the stone beside the spring and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

But everyone did not dare to leave like this, so they asked Minshu to go in and report. The others waited aside and ordered the clan to send fairy fruit and wine.

Waiting until evening, Min Shu left and came back again. With a look of uneasiness on his face, he reported: "My father is still in seclusion and has not responded."

Yuan Miao hummed, his expression as usual.

This went on for ten days, and Min Shu went in to report every day, but Min Zhuo still received no response.

On the tenth day, Minshu's voice was trembling.

Yuan Miao stood up suddenly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

Min Zhuo is stabilizing his cultivation rather than seeking breakthroughs. Even if he is at a critical moment and cannot escape immediately, he can send out an idea to explain the situation, which is completely possible.

He was clearly hiding away on purpose!

Min Zhuo must have guessed his purpose, but he insisted on going his own way and was unwilling to make peace with Qin Sang.

The Zhu Yan tribe sent a special envoy, but he did not hesitate to offend the envoy and refused to see him. He had obviously made up his mind. Moreover, he was certain that the Zhu Yan clan had a good temperament and would not use force to overwhelm others or interfere forcefully.

In this case, Yuan Miao would be humiliating himself by staying.

"You can take care of yourself!"

Yuan Miao walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
