"Sister Hongdai said that she had something to do at home and asked us to go first. She arrived later."

Yuan Qing took the flower tray and sent a message to the sister who had introduced Baoguang Realm doctor Qu Lian. Then the person sent the message and attached a map.

"Is something wrong?" Jiang Yuanchen asked, "Do you have a map? We can go there as well."

"Yes." Yuan Qing gave Jiang Yuanchen a rubbing of the map, and the two left Hongri for the earth.

The scenery of Baoguang Realm is different from that of Kyushu and Yangming. Kyushu has a vast territory and rich resources, and various types of spiritual mountains and swamps are readily available. The Yangming Realm is dominated by darkness and filled with evil spirits. But the Baoguang Realm is a bright and glorious scene.

"Not only will the sky shine on the earth for seven days, there are also many golden pagodas and temples on this earth. Even the Taoist architecture of Taoist temples actually has traces of Buddhist style. They actually learned to use gold and silver to cast Taoist temples and pave the road with agate gems." Jiang Yuanchen looked worried, obviously not satisfied. I like those Taoist temples that worship Bodhisattva statues, but I don’t like the luxury of these Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Even if you don’t worship the Patriarch, you have finally reached a higher level in heaven and earth. How can you actually worship the Bodhisattva in a Taoist temple? And it’s so luxurious, where does the money come from?

The Kyushu Realm is divided into nine states, but the Baoguang Realm is divided into national pagodas. A golden pagoda can create a country by itself. A pagoda stands in every place where people gather, absorbing sunlight during the day, and lighting up a country with pagodas at night. These pagodas are also places used by monks to transmit, trade, practice and discuss the Tao.

Although there are immortals, gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters here, there are heavy traces of Buddhism left in the folk customs.

"If it is Shinto, this kind of influence engraved in the depths of civilization is enough to give birth to several sun gods or a god." Yuan Qing looked around, and the two of them were walking in the same country. Although a great demon rules here, there is not much demon atmosphere. Shemales and monsters live in harmony and the atmosphere is peaceful. It’s just that the traces of Buddhism are so profound that even those people from the demon clan are actually painting Buddha statues. Post Buddha images from door to door and buy Buddha lamps and scented oil.

"So people in the Baoguang Realm don't care about the impact of unexpected people at all. Because the core of civilization has not been lost, Buddhism can make a comeback at any time. It is better than a world that loses its own civilization inheritance and is eventually swallowed up by outside civilization." Jiang Yuanchen was very touched.

After wandering around for a long time, this demon kingdom was very inspiring to the two of them. The two finally came to a pagoda, seven stories high. Made of gold, glass, agate and other seven treasures, two Buddhist monks sat in meditation under the tower.

This was the first time Yuan Qing saw Buddha Xiu, and he looked at the two of them curiously. It is the custom in the Kyushu realm to leave their hair tied with a crown, but Buddhist cultivators in the Baoguang realm shave their hair, wear hundreds of robes, and hold alms bowls, Buddhist beads, Zen staffs and other magic weapons.

Looking at the two monks next to the pagoda in front of him, Jiang Yuanchen secretly asked, "Are they from the Jingfa lineage?"

There are disputes among various schools in Taoism, and there are naturally various differences in Buddhism based on different concepts. There were many completely different understandings and interpretations of the content of Daojun's sermons in the Qingming Dynasty in the past. So there are many genres. The Pure Dharma lineage calls itself the Tathagata's righteous Dharma, which is transmitted from the Pure Dharma Bright Realm, and is the direct lineage of the Great Bright Tathagata.

Yuan Qing took a few steps forward, took out fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones and asked the two of them to activate the teleportation array.

According to the level and distance of space teleportation, the required spiritual stone energy is different. Simply teleporting within a state requires only low-grade spiritual stones. If you want to go from one end of the world to the other, you need a medium-grade spiritual stone. Cross-border teleportation requires high-grade spiritual stones. Of course, the amount of spiritual stones needed also depends on the distance.

The expressions of the two monks changed. Nodding, he put away the spirit stones and allowed Jiang Yuanchen and the others to enter the pagoda. Jiang Yuanchen seemed to be about to say something, but looked at Yuan Qing and endured it. "This girl..."

The two monks asked them to enter the teleportation array. One of them picked up a spiritual stone and began to recite scriptures, using the power of Buddha to activate the teleportation array.

"Why only use one spiritual stone?" Yuan Qing asked in surprise.

"Spiritual stones are hard to find, but mana is good." Jiang Yuanchen said: "This fellow Taoist uses a spirit stone as a medium. He uses his own mana as energy. Although it will be drained by the teleportation circle, it will recover on its own afterwards. Those spiritual stones you just gave him are his reward." Some gave too much!

Yuan Qing is obviously not the kind of woman who manages a house, and she has never worried about the lack of these things since she was a child. The vitality of the place she was in gathered spontaneously, and there were several veins of spirit stones under Mount Li.

"But activating mana like this is very troublesome and time-consuming."

Another monk looked embarrassed and just said: "It's just that we don't waste it. Otherwise, if the distance is too close, we will lose money with the spirit stone. Please wait a moment for the two donors."

"It's nothing. The great monk can just tell us about the scenery of Baoguang Realm. My brother and sister have come all the way, and this is the first time they have seen a country where humans and monsters are so harmonious." Jiang Yuanchen was noncommittal. Neither he nor Yuan Qing was lacking spirits. The master of stone doesn't care about a few spiritual stones.

"It's all due to the governance of the Nine-tailed King." Mentioning the nine-tailed sky fox demon, the monk said with reverence: "That demon king does not feed on human blood, but instead leads the fox tribe to take root here and interact with the human race. Marriage, active contact with Buddhists, one of the few demon kings I have good friends with in Buddhism."

"Not eating people? That's pretty good." Jiang Yuanchen asked carefully about the situation in Baoguang Realm.

There are eighty-one countries in the Baoguang Realm, thirty-two countries are controlled by Buddhism, twenty-one countries are controlled by immortals, twenty countries are controlled by demons, and eight are occupied by demons and casual cultivators.

"Speaking of which, these Buddhist kingdoms were originally controlled by Buddhism, so why didn't they have a unified dynasty?"

The monk said: "Thousands of years ago, there was a unified Jinshe Dynasty, but later the Buddha bone relics enshrined in the dynasty disappeared, and the twelve Buddhas and elders blamed each other. In the end, the dynasty split into small countries, which lasted for thousands of years. "

Jiang Yuanchen was thoughtful, and under the induction of heaven and man, he faintly noticed that he seemed to be staying in the Baoguang Realm for a while longer. I am afraid that I will participate in the Buddhist lineage struggle in this world.

"Okay!" Another monk recited scriptures, and the Buddha's light shone around him. Yuan and Qing then came to another pagoda.

"Shuilian Mountain seems to be not far away." Jiang Yuanchen looked through the map, and the two of them came to a big mountain through the air.

Yuan Qing looked at the mountain scenery in front of him and was stunned: "Is this the Shuilian Mountain Quwu?"

Jiang Yuanchen looked around. This was a lake. There was a small hill in the center of the lake, which was a hundred miles in size. But unlike other hills, this hill has several lotus stems rising from it, including three huge lotus flowers and eight lotus leaves. Two lotus pods. The lotus stems burst out of the earth. There are three houses in the huge white lotus. Several leaves are swaying in the sky, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

"This is a living thing." Yuan Qing said sensitively, there is a lotus spiritual root in this hill. "Brother Dao, we..."

"Go in. The Quwu we are looking for is right there." Pointing to the three white lotus flowers on the Water Lotus Mountain, the house in the flower was shrouded in mist.

The two of them walked across the lake and walked on the lotus leaves to the foot of the mountain. Jiang Yuanchen said loudly: "Rogue cultivator Xuanming and his junior sister came here to ask for an audience with Your Excellency Qu Lian."

Boom——

The lotus leaves swayed, and a lotus leaf with a radius of three feet came to the feet of the two people. The two stepped on the jasper lotus leaves, and as the lotus leaves moved slowly, they connected with a white lotus.

Walk down the lotus leaves and directly enter the lotus. A plaque with the word "Quwu" is hung on the room in the center of the lotus. At the same time, there was a cloying aroma coming from inside.

Smell the fragrant aroma carefully. Jiang Yuanchen seemed to realize that this was...

When he came to the door, he knocked politely, and a charming female voice sounded from inside: "Come in."

The two walked into the house and saw a woman wearing dark red clothes lying lazily on the bed. The dark-colored edges of the clothes made her even more mysterious. The woman was holding a pipe and smoking, slowly exhaling green energy.

"Smoking gun? No, it's blue chrysanthemum ointment." Jiang Yuanchen understood that this was a means of expelling poison. Combined with the aroma just smelled at the door, is this person poisoned?

Come forward and bow your head. Jiang Yuanchen said: "The two of us were introduced by fellow Taoist Hongdai and came to Quwu to seek medicine."

"Are you an alchemist?" The female cultivator took a sip of the green chrysanthemum ointment in her hand and put the medicine gun aside. He got up and came to Jiang Yuanchen and Yuan Qing. Their eyes lit up when they saw Jiang Yuanchen and they hung around for a long time. Leaning against Jiang Yuanchen: "So beautiful!"

Before the two of them could speak, the female cultivator reached out and touched Jiang Yuanchen's eyelids, staring into Jiang Yuanchen's eyes: "Such beautiful eyes, it would be great if they were used to make medicine." The charming voice, if not for its dark content. I'm afraid it's enough to arouse people's imagination.

Then, looking at Jiang Yuanchen's ears, temples, neck and other parts, the female cultivator groaned: "What wonderful medicinal materials, innate Taoist body, and innate purple energy. Even if you simply cut off a piece of flesh, it can't be compared to any spirit." Medicinal herbs.”

Jiang Yuanchen's face was calm, and he obviously didn't care at all about the weird tempers of alchemy cultivators and medical cultivators, and allowed the women to surround him. But when Yuan Qing saw the female cultivator staring at Jiang Yuanchen everywhere, he felt horrified and said weakly: "Are you Sister Qu Lian?"

"It's me." When the female cultivator saw Yuan Qing, her eyes lit up again: "What a pair of innate spiritual roots! How can I still be a lotus?" She was about to reach out and touch Yuan Qing's cheek, but Jiang Yuanchen stopped her from the side. .

Jiang Yuanchen protected Yuan Qing behind him and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, we are here to seek medical treatment, so it is better to talk about business first. Fellow Taoist, do you prefer to make a decision or to diagnose first?"

"Let's talk about the illness first. It's probably not the two of you who are sick." Qu Lian swayed in her red dress and sat back on the bed, crossing her legs, her youthful beauty leaking out, looming.

"It's one of my elders." Jiang Yuanchen snapped his fingers, purple energy rose around him, and Fu Ming's phantom appeared. As soon as Fu Ming's phantom appeared, he immediately started coughing, his face was like gold paper, and he was panting.

"What a powerful illusion." Qu Lian was surprised and looked at Fu Ming's injuries: "Come closer."

Jiang Yuanchen used illusion skills to make the phantom come to Qu Lian. Qu Lian picked up the medicine gun and poked at it, frowning: "Is your illusion really correct? If you really go by your illusion, it is really rare for an elder like you to survive. The soul was cut off, and Zi If the palace is shattered, even Daoist Yuanshen like us would have to risk death, let alone him who has just overcome the tribulation."

"Presumably some alchemy expert helped him heal his injuries? He did a great job." Qu Lian commented.

After all, Taixu Dao Sect is a big sect. Jiang Yuanchen and others worked together to help Fu Ming stabilize his injury, but there was no cure.

Qu Lian thought for a while and asked, "How far do you want the treatment to be?"

"The extent?" Yuan Qing said: "Of course it will be until it is cured."

"You can see that my sister doesn't know how to heal." Qu Lian chuckled, took a sip of the medicine gun to refresh herself, and said to Jiang Yuanchen, "What do you say?"

"Let the old man restore his soul level and his life span will be extended."

"This is impossible." Qu Lian immediately objected: "You seem to have done research on alchemy, and you should also understand this research on the human body. As an elder, you have not been baptized by the unity of heaven and man, and there is no way to extend your life. I can What I did was to do two things, help him heal Zifu’s injuries and restore his soul.”

"Otherwise, just to survive, you should be able to do it. Just break up his spirit and let him fall back to the golden elixir level."

Jiang Yuanchen nodded, just as Qu Lian said, if you simply save people, you only need to use elixir to disperse Fu Ming's magic power.

"Just in this way, we don't need to rely on your methods. There is not much difference between the cultivation of the golden elixir and the cultivation of the soul. The most important thing is life span!" So what if Fu Ming has the power of the soul? Just adding a manpower to the Demonic Tribulation, and then Fu Ming would die.

"Life span?" Qu Lian breathed in the spiritual energy of the ointment, and then took a long breath, and the smoke turned into a white crane flying into the sky: "We can't extend your life specifically, but we can help you treat Zifu. This is the limit."

"Even you, a senior who has been practicing for eight thousand years, can't do anything?" Jiang Yuanchen stepped forward and looked into Qu Lian's eyes: "A female fairy who has fallen into the realm can't even heal a mere Yuanshen monk. not good?"
