Chapter 46: Two Dragons Fighting

Under the gaze of the two, the young Daoist also bowed and said,

"My surname is Cheng, given name Qieqing, from Qu Xi, Kuaiji, cultivating the Way at the Biyun Temple on Qingshen Mountain."

Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu looked at each other; they didn't seem to have heard of it?

Lang Shanliu said with a smile, "Kuaiji, that's really far! Daoist, what is your business in our barren and miasmatic land? And how did you save the people of our Miao village?"

Cheng Yunqi smiled, "This Uncle asked many questions, so I will answer them one by one. First, we cultivators, on a daily basis, are nothing more than sitting in meditation and wandering. I have sat enough, so I came out to wander around, hehe."

"Furthermore, Miao and Nan are located in the Kun Palace, with abundant geothermal heat and endless rain, gestating ancient trees reaching the sky. It is a rare blessed land; how can it be a barren land!"

"As for the Miao village, this is a coincidence. That day, I had just entered the Miao border from the Three Xiang region and sought lodging in a village. A child in a family had a soul-wounding illness. I happened to have a soul-nourishing elixir pill refined by my master, so I used it to treat the child."

"Speaking of which, there is another interesting story. That village has the surname Nai, and the Village Chief is called Sang Munai. I thought the surname was Sang, so I kept calling him Master Munai!"

Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu looked at each other, stood up, and said in unison:

"Brother has a benevolent heart!"

In the Miao village, and of course, it could be anywhere, a child's life is always more important than anything else. Since someone could give up a precious elixir pill to save a child's life, they, as Miao people, had to accept the favor.

At this moment, they didn't call him Daoist, didn't call him Little Brother, but addressed him as Brother, which was an extremely close and respectful way of addressing.

Cheng Yunqi also stood up and told them not to be polite, "Daoists wander, treat illnesses and save people, and act chivalrously, which is their duty."

The Daoist originally intended to let them relax, but he didn't expect Hu Jinliu's expression to change, muttering,

"Treating illnesses and saving people is a good thing, but I'm afraid of chivalry being practiced on us!"

Lang Shanliu glared at his nephew again. He now found that as the child grew up, he was becoming harder and harder to manage. He shouted:

"This Brother is a benevolent Daoist from the East, not one of those killing Daoists from Shu. Keep your mouth clean!"

Hu Jinliu said "Oh" and grinned at Cheng Yunqi.

Cheng Yunqi nodded, "I have also heard that our Daoist friends in the West have heavy attachments and do not practice the method of non-action and naturalness."

Then he followed the topic and asked the young man, "This Brother, I don't know which sect the Immortal Cave and Green Dragon Cave you mentioned belong to, and where are they located? It would be good for me to go and stay for a while."

Hu Jinliu said with a smile, "I have been to both of these caves. The Immortal Cave is in Zhulin, which belongs to the hinterland of our Miao border, and it worships the Eight Immortals. The Green Dragon Cave is in Southeast Qian, close to the Southern Wilderness, very close to us, and it worships the Mengzhang God Lord and the Eastern Seven Mansions. If you ask what specific sect it is, I don't know."

Cheng Yunqi nodded, knowing who they worshipped, so the sect was not hard to guess. It seemed that the Immortal Cave cultivated the Golden Core Way Zhong-Lu School, while the Green Dragon Cave cultivated the Louguan Way, also called the Star-Observing Way, which should be the main cultivation of the Eastern Wood element.

He said with a smile, "Then naturally, I will choose a closer one and go to disturb the Green Dragon Cave."

At this time, Lang Shanliu said, "Brother might not know, but recently our Red Wood Ridge and Hundred Barbarian Mountain have been fighting, and the front line is in this area. The Daoists of the Green Dragon Cave will also join our Red Wood Ridge to slay demons. If you go to the Green Dragon Cave, I'm afraid you won't have peace. If you want to cultivate in peace, you might as well go to the Immortal Cave in the rear."

Cheng Yunqi shook his head, "I just said that wandering is not for cultivation in peace, but to slay demons and eliminate monsters!"

"Good!"

Hu Jinliu responded.

Cheng Yunqi asked again, "Uncle, I am a Daoist from a small temple in the East, with blocked news. I have just arrived in the Southwest. I only heard that Hundred Barbarian Mountain is the leader of the Southern Wilderness Demon Sect, and your sect, Red Wood Ridge, is the leader of the Miao border side-door, but I don't know the grievances and details. Can you solve my confusion?"

The uncle and nephew looked at each other again. Lang Shanliu thought that since both of them were injured and had eliminated a demon from Hundred Barbarian Mountain, they were not in a hurry to go back to report, so it was just right to recuperate here. He said to Hu Jinliu, "You are usually unable to keep your mouth shut and talk the most. You tell Brother about it."

The young man was happy and said,

"This land originally had no side-door or demon-door. Later, many people came, what kind of people, demons, ghosts, and monsters, more and more, from the southeast, northwest, and even across the ocean. With so many people, they have to divide into sects. You are of the Dao sect, I am of the side-door, and there are demon sects and Buddhist sects, and recently a saying of the Xuan sect has emerged. With so many people, all saying they are right, doesn't that mean they have to fight? Fighting and fighting, it's never peaceful, so doesn't the blessed land become a barren land?"

Cheng Yunqi was impressed by this person who looked rough!

This simply explained the eternal truth of the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years!

Too many people! Everyone has their own ideas!

Cheng Yunqi bowed, "Brother's words are simple but profound, with great wisdom."

Hu Jinliu waved his hand, "Hehe, just talking nonsense, just talking nonsense."

"If you want to ask about the fight between Red Wood Ridge and Hundred Barbarian Mountain, that's a long time ago."

"Long before there were any side-doors or demon-doors in this land, we Miao people and Gui people were already fighting. At that time, we fought for fields, fought for water sources, and had to snatch women to have children. There wasn't a day we didn't fight."

"Later, a Red-Haired Ancestor came to our Miao side, with great ability, cultivating at Red Wood Ridge, and many of our Miao people went to rely on him. And on the Gui side, a Green-Robed Ancestor came, cultivating at Hundred Barbarian Mountain, and the Gui people naturally gathered around him."

"Our ancestors didn't know what side-door or demon-door were at that time. If you don't go to learn magic, you will be killed by those who have learned magic, so you must learn it!"

"We also learned that our family's magic is fierce. Among the three essentials of essence, Qi, and spirit, it focuses on essence and assists with Qi, not cultivating the primordial spirit. Although it is difficult, it can also lead to longevity. And there are two rules in the sect: one is not to kill the innocent indiscriminately, and the other is not to refine magic with people. Look, with these three rules, this is called a side-door."

"On the side of the Green-Robed Old Thief, they don't cultivate longevity, only killing techniques, and they often search souls and refine corpses, and they can even be ruthless to themselves. This is the Demon Sect!"

Cheng Yunqi bowed, indicating he had learned.

Lang Shanliu slapped the young man on the head, "Speak properly, be respectful to the ancestors and Red Wood Ridge!"

The young man didn't care, "What's there that can't be said? There are even rumors that our ancestor and the Green-Robed Old Thief are not human! And I haven't seen these two say anything. The rumors are so vivid, I don't think they are fake."

"You can't tell anything!"

Lang Shanliu roared at him.

Cheng Yunqi became interested, "Uncle, Uncle, there are no outsiders here. Brother, you continue."

Hu Jinliu smiled, "Rumors say that our ancestor is a brocade dragon, belonging to fire, and the Green-Robed Old Thief is a black dragon, belonging to water, which are not compatible. And rumors say that this dragon vein in the Southern Ridge can only gestate one true dragon, so these two are fighting to the death!" ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
