Chapter 904: Feathering
Melting Pot, Martial Dao Human Immortal!
Immortal.
Eternal life and immortality.
From human, from mountain!
Just one word, it really makes people's imagination run wild.
What a magnificent posture!
"Human Immortal, how many years of longevity?"
"I don't know."
Liang Qu stopped his reverie: "How can the Teacher not know?"
"Taking the scenery to the Yuyu Abyss in the evening, and drying the sun in the nine suns in the morning." King Xu Yue opened the window, the red sun and river water falling on a line, ten thousand feet of golden light spreading, dog-tooth interlaced, a scene of shimmering waves. He pointed to the great sun in the clouds. "The red sun of heaven, how long is its life?"
"Could it be that Human Immortals are immortal?" Liang Qu's pupils widened slightly.
"There is no such thing as immortality in the world. Even if there were, 'If one must live long like this and not die, even if one lives for ten thousand generations, it is not enough to be happy.' Living in vain for ten thousand years is also boring. You don't have to be burdened by strange novels, feeling that hundreds or thousands of years are just a small number. It's just that the realm of Martial Immortal, as far as I know, is indeed different from life and death in the conventional sense."
Liang Qu looked at the sky, lost in thought for a long time.
Different.
What is different?
Perfected Form is to cloth a "circle," Sky Dragon is to break the "circle," what kind of cultivation should the Melting Pot be?
Four passes and seven paths.
The Melting Pot is still the sixth path among them. What about the seventh path, transforming into a rainbow?
He asked this question.
"Transforming into a rainbow..." King Xu Yue tapped the table lightly. "It is naturally feathering and ascending."
Liang Qu was speechless.
"Feathering and ascending, does it have to go somewhere? Abandoning parents and relatives? Virtuous wife and young children?" King Xu Yue asked back.
Liang Qu pondered.
"This ascension does not necessarily mean flying to the Immortal Realm or the void. It is a state of great freedom, going everywhere. As for where the rainbow light reaches, that is the place of ascension, the pool of becoming an immortal. As for feathering, feathering is formless, and the human body is between existence and non-existence."
"Between existence and non-existence?"
"Today, will you have dander on your body, will you have dandruff on your head?"
"Naturally no filth."
Liang Qu shook his head.
Ordinary people cultivate to Wolf Smoke, and they no longer have hair loss in the sense of metabolism, and there is little strange smell on the body surface. Cultivating to Hunting Tiger is even more so. The grease on the body surface will not mix with dust and become dirty. Let alone Perfected Form now, if you don't go to messy places to get stained with foul air, you won't wash your hair for three months, and you won't change your boots, and you will still be clean and odorless.
"Not dirty, not filthy, almost like an immortal. However, this is still a mortal body. According to the sages' books, feathering is completely shedding the mortal shell, gathering into a formless true body from various Dao rhymes, thousands of rosy clouds, and boundless clouds and mist. It can be as light as nothing, or as heavy as a thousand jun."
Liang Qu heard the implication.
"The Teacher also learned it from ancient books? There is no definitive conclusion?"
King Xu Yue laughed.
The tea mist curled.
He stood up and walked slowly to the window, shrouded in red clouds.
"Climbing high and looking far, climbing high and looking far, how high a person climbs, how far they look. I haven't seen a Human Immortal face a few times, where can I learn the demeanor of transforming into a rainbow? I can only observe it from ancient books. If you are lucky enough in this life to see a different scenery, remember to come back and tell me, and I will be satisfied."
Liang Qu didn't want to be overly confident, showing a state of aiming too high.
"I will never forget today's conversation!"
He paused.
"Does our dynasty really have Human Immortals?"
"Yes! The Eastern Sea has the Whale Emperor, and our human race naturally has Human Immortals. Not only Great Shun, but the Northern Court and Southern Frontier all have them. One thing is certain: the prosperity of our human martial arts is far beyond the demon race!"
Hot blood surged.
Surging heart tide.
"How can I see it?"
"Becoming a Saint and crowning a King."
"..."
Liang Qu had nothing to say.
In short.
One mountain is higher than another.
He hadn't truly climbed to the top of the ten thousand mountains. What he saw were only the nearby big mountains. Looking up, the towering continuous mountain heads blocked all the sky light, and the ten thousand forests were swaying. Today's conversation really opened his eyes and made him realize the vastness of the world.
Climbing high to look at thoughts, lifting sleeves to face the morning sun.
Benefited a lot.
"New Year's holiday, you came to Ningjiang Prefecture for the first time. If there is nothing important, stay for two days before leaving. Ningjiang has a thousand islands, and the scenery is not bad."
Liang Qu came to his senses and cupped his hands.
"I dare not refuse, I will disturb the Teacher!"
Zhang Xu stood up to arrange the room.
Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't dark yet, and the maid was tidying up the room, Liang Qu used "Water Travel a Thousand Miles," "flashing" back to Pingyang, and told Su Guishan about the snake tribe's Lord Net and the Ghost Mother Sect.
Su Guishan envied this ability to go wherever he wanted like visiting a neighbor's house, but the news Liang Qu brought back made his emotions completely occupied by surprise.
"Ghost Mother Sect, Vine Star Fish, damn it, there is such a thing?"
"There is no conclusive evidence, just a few guesses. King Xu Yue has already submitted a report to the imperial court."
"Grind the ink! I will also write a memorial!"
Liang Qu controlled the water vapor in the room, gathering it into the inkstone.
Becoming a Grandmaster, showing water control means freely, is really convenient.
Su Guishan asked while writing: "If it is as you say, the day of completely eradicating the Ghost Mother Sect will not be far away. When do you plan to go west?"
"Expected before early spring."
"Has the Vajra Bright King written to you, stating when he will return?"
"Not yet."
Su Guishan frowned, stopping his writing: "Will the Bright King come back?"
"Hmm, I don't know either..."
Liang Qu scratched his head.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if the old monk would come back, after all, the evil monk incident in Pingyang Prefecture had been resolved, and there were no more worries.
Su Guishan thought for a while and continued to write: "I'll give you a task. If you do it well, there will be no shortage of benefits, and there will be great rewards."
Reward?
Liang Qu straightened his back.
"What is it?"
"When you go west, go to the Hanging Temple and invite the Vajra Bright King back to Pingyang Prefecture. This Prefect is willing to raise funds to rebuild the temple complex on Pingyang Mountain to welcome the Bright King Master, and hold a Water-Land Dharma Assembly! Donate 50,000 taels every year."
"Isn't there a Confucian Temple on the top of Ping Mountain? Is there still space to build a temple?" Liang Qu was puzzled.
The Fahua Temple in Pingyang Town was once famous for its efficacy in praying for children, but later it fell into disrepair due to this reason. The base of the Mountain Ghost raised by the Zhao family in the town was on Ping Mountain.
Afterward, the town became a county, and a Confucian Temple had to be built, still standing on the old site of the temple, saving the trouble of setting the axis.
"Changing it doesn't matter. It's all a temple. Take the same central axis. I'll find a day to move the original Confucian Temple to another place."
With the old monk gone, not to mention Liang Qu, even Su Guishan had no sense of security.
King Xu Yue was in Ningjiang Prefecture, which was close, but no matter how close, it wasn't as reassuring as living under the same roof.
If a big war really starts.
The old monk is a loose Wu Sheng. If he can be invited to Pingyang, exerting a few points of strategic deterrence, it is absolutely a great thing, and many deployments can be much easier.
Normally, accommodating a Wu Sheng is undoubtedly full of difficulties.
The old monk is now a dignified Sky Dragon Wu Sheng. In the Hanging Temple, calling him the Bright King Ancestor is not an exaggeration. Not only now, but looking at the history of the Hanging Temple, he is also one of the mountain heads. The monks inside are reluctant to let go, so it can only depend on the old monk's own wishes.
Fortunately.
There is a Liang Qu in Pingyang Prefecture, with causal connections, this matter is by no means ethereal.
"The kid will try it."
"Good!"
Returning to Ningjiang Prefecture from the River Patrol Office.
Liang Qu sat cross-legged.
In the sea of consciousness, he analyzed the information gathered by the little fish without stopping, checking for traces of Lord Net's sub-bodies.
"Lord Net's" ability was too mysterious, splitting the core, turning into sub-bodies, and the sub-bodies spreading, descendants endless, bringing large water areas under control.
Perhaps the Eastern Water Domain alone was not the Jiaolong's ultimate goal. With its ambition to replace the Dragon King, it must want to bring the entire Jianghuai Great Marsh under its control.
Liang Qu's idea was.
Can he control one of the sub-bodies?
(End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 905 =====
Perhaps a single Eastern Water Territory is not the Flood Dragon's ultimate goal; with its ambition to replace the Dragon Lord, it must inevitably bring the entire Jianghuai Great Marsh under its claws and control.
This is Liang Qu's thought.
Is it possible to govern one of its sub-bodies?
