Chapter 423

The young Daoist said slowly: "You should comprehend the various principles on the path of immortal cultivation yourself. Even if I tell you, you won't understand what you shouldn't understand, and you will naturally understand when you should. There is an urgent matter now that I need to discuss with you properly."

"Please speak, Senior."

It was just that Wei Yuan had a feeling that if the fish came up, then the young Daoist would not only talk about the principles on the path of immortal cultivation, but would talk a lot.

But why didn't the fish come up? Wei Yuan thought carefully, but there was no solution.

The young Daoist said: "Ji Liuli has been in seclusion for some time, attempting to advance to the Dharma Form, but has always fallen short and failed to take the final step. As her ancestor, I cannot just watch; I must plan for her."

Based on Wei Yuan's understanding of Ji Ji Liuli, there was absolutely no reason she could not become a Dharma Form; the reason she could not take the final step should be that there was some defect somewhere, resulting in an imperfect Dharma Form.

Just like Wei Yuan himself, who rejected the True Dragon Dharma Form three times before finally achieving the Human World Fireworks.

Wei Yuan asked: "Is there a problem with her state of mind?"

With Ji Ji Liuli's root bone, even a fatal injury placed on Zhang Sheng could be saved on her. So Wei Yuan did not think it was damage to her Dao foundation; it was mostly a problem with her state of mind.

The young Daoist smiled slightly and said: "It seems you know her very well, so this matter will fall on you."

"What should the disciple do?"

"Let nature take its course; after she comes out of seclusion, visit her more often, and if there is anything you can help with, help her; that will do. In addition, there is one more thing: my Tianji Hall also has five thousand Dao soldiers, which have now been withdrawn from the battlefield and will be sent to you for training. After they form their Dao foundation, you can gift forty percent to the Tianqing Hall; consider it your reward for helping Ji Liuli."

Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "Helping the Senior Sister is the disciple's duty; I dare not accept a reward."

The young Daoist glared at Wei Yuan and said: "Take it if I tell you to. If you don't take the reward, it will be difficult for me to handle many things."

Wei Yuan was shocked, never expecting that Fenhai Zhenjun Zhenjun Yan Shi would speak so bluntly. In this way, there was really no room for refusal; besides, this matter was beneficial to the Taichu Palace, beneficial to the Tianqing Hall, and beneficial to Ji Ji Liuli; it was just that he might pay a small price, so how could there be any reason to refuse?

Wei Yuan convinced himself and agreed.

Seeing Wei Yuan agree, the young Daoist was very happy and said: "The flying boat and Dao soldiers are already prepared; pack your things and return to Qingming. I have some small matters here, so I won't keep you."

After Wei Yuan left, the young Daoist's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "Come here!"

Several Daoists appeared and came to his side. The young Daoist ordered: "Prepare fish boxes and fish baskets, prepare a few more!"

Then the young Daoist had an immortal sword in his hand, wrapped in lightning, the power of thunder so rich it was almost enough to destroy heaven and earth! The young Daoist raised his hand, about to insert the immortal sword into the small lake.

Several Daoists were shocked and hurriedly stopped the young Daoist, saying: "Fenhai Zhenjun, no! If this thunder sword goes down, all living beings in the lake will suffer a calamity, and the karma of extinguishing life cannot be lightly touched!"

The crowd of Daoists risked their lives to stop him, so the young Daoist's thunder sword could not fall.

He suddenly pointed his finger toward the sky, and several groups of different powders appeared, mixed in the air, turned into a huge barrel, and fell toward the lake surface.

The crowd of Daoists was shocked again, and they all cast spells to support the barrel, shouting: "Fenhai Zhenjun, no! If this barrel of Chaos Empty Thunder falls, the living beings in the lake will be blown to pieces, and it will still be the karma of extinguishing life!"

The young Daoist put away the barrel and said impatiently: "This won't work, that won't work! What do you say we should do?!"

The crowd of Daoists hurriedly offered a plan: "There is a kind of net that can pass along the bottom of the lake; as long as the mesh is set fine, it can catch all the living beings in the lake in one net, ensuring that not one escapes. At that time, just take the ringleaders and release the others; this will get the job done without touching karma, isn't that the best of both worlds?"

The young Daoist's expression eased slightly, and he nodded: "This method is very good."

The crowd of Daoists went to get the net, and then the giant net entered the lake. A moment later, they raised the net, and the net floated on the lake surface; they saw countless large fish, small fish, and aquatic spirits inside, all trembling.

Among the crowd of fish, a large fish with a golden scale on its head was pushed out by the other fish and placed in the most conspicuous position.

The young Daoist suddenly reached out and grabbed, the giant net left the water by three feet, and then the Daoist's thunder sword fell into the lake!

The entire lake surface was instantly filled with jumping thunder fire, like a thunder purgatory, and in the blink of an eye, several shadows left the water and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The young Daoist sneered and said: "Sure enough, there were fish that slipped through the net! Do you really think you can hide from this Daoist's spiritual sense?"

Several Daoists did not dare to speak, and they all took action to grab, dragging several old fish corpses from the bottom of the lake a moment later and throwing them on the shore.

The young Daoist glanced at the fish in the net and ordered: "Pick out all those with golden scales on their heads, and release the rest."

The crowd of Daoists breathed a sigh of relief, and a moment later they caught three large fish, one old and two young, including that fat fish that had just obtained a golden scale. The three fish were terrified and begged for mercy.

The young Daoist's face was cold and stern, and he said coldly: "You few thought that because you had a bit of background and understood a bit of the surface of cultivation, you dared to come and ruin my layout and make me lose face! The ancients said, the people can be made to follow, but not to know. This sentence is correct; you few things really know too much!"

The two new fish had shallow cultivation and could not speak human language, so they could only desperately spit bubbles and beg for mercy.

The old fish, in its anxiety, spat out human language and said: "This fish has accompanied the immortal for a midnight drink and heard the immortal talk to heaven! I, I have stood guard for the immortal, I have kept watch for the immortal! If you offend me, when the immortal returns, I will say a few words to the immortal, and the immortal will definitely not let you off easily!" The young Daoist mocked: "Do you really think you have an old friendship with the Tinghai Xianjun?"

The old fish bit the bullet and said: "This fish has lived for two hundred years; if not, what else?"

The young Daoist sneered: "There is only one reason you can live so long: the Tinghai Xianjun doesn't eat fish!"

Two days later, knowing that Zhang Sheng had gone into seclusion to digest the medicinal power, and the Taichu Palace's large flying boat was already prepared, the five thousand Dao soldiers withdrawn from the front line all boarded the flying boat, and Wei Yuan returned to Qingming with the flying boat.

Besides the Dao soldiers, there were ten knowledgeable disciples from the Heavenly Craft Hall, ten disciples from the Creation Temple, and Xu Xu Henshui on the flying boat.

Xu Xu Henshui being on the flying boat was truly beyond Wei Yuan's expectations; he said he would take these disciples to build a branch temple in Qingming, plant medicine and refine pills on the spot, and return after everything was on the right track.

In the previous few training sessions, Wei Yuan had contributed over a thousand Dao foundations to the Taichu Palace, so the defensive pressure at the northern mountain gate was greatly reduced, and new Dharma Forms like Xu Xu Henshui could be transferred out.

Wu State, Bao family ancestral land.

Behind Bao Yun walked out of the quiet room and looked at a flower tree in the courtyard with white-gold branches and leaves and pale red flowers. Several flowers suddenly fell from the tree, falling onto the white fine sand on the ground, and disappeared.

!.

She frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably lost in her heart, so she cast a hexagram on the spot: inner water, outer mountain, and the hexagram obtained was Meng. Seeing this hexagram, Behind Bao Yun felt that the water had passed but the mountain remained, and she suddenly felt a bit sad.

This hexagram has another interpretation, which is insufficient fate.

At this time, the courtyard gate was knocked, and Zhao Zhao Fusheng's voice sounded outside: "Zhao Zhao Fusheng of Qiongshan requests an audience."

Behind Bao Yun went to open the door, let Zhao Zhao Fusheng into the guest hall to sit, and then said calmly: "It's been many days, is the Young Island Master here to move his hands and feet again?"

Zhao Zhao Fusheng was a bit embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Don't mention this again! That day, Zhao was indeed arrogant, feeling that his sincerity was sufficient and not taking the people of the world seriously, thinking that dealing with a Kong Que Buddha Mother was a piece of cake. Who knew there would be so many twists and turns in the mystical realm! Since I lost, Zhao will naturally keep his promise; before the one-year period is up, I will never do anything over the line!"

"I believe the Young Island Master can do what he says."

Zhao Zhao Fusheng said: "Since my defeat in the mystical realm, I returned to the island to practice in seclusion for half a year, re-questioned my original heart, and unexpectedly discovered one thing."

"What thing?"

Zhao Zhao Fusheng sat straight, took a deep breath, like a long whale sucking water, then looked at the empty space in front of him, and said word by word: "I, like, you."

As soon as the words fell, a ball of dragon fire suddenly erupted from the top of Zhao Zhao Fusheng's head, scorching a piece of the guest hall ceiling.

Zhao Zhao Fusheng's blood rushed to his face, and fierce fire erupted from the top of his head from time to time; he sat like a statue, not daring to move at all.

Seeing this, Behind Bao Yun could not help but cover her mouth and smile lightly. It seems that the difficulty of letting the Young Island Master say this sentence is probably higher than letting him experience a heavenly tribulation.

Behind Bao Yun smiled, and the fire on Zhao Zhao Fusheng's head became even more fierce, looking as if it was about to burn through the roof.

Behind Bao Yun hurriedly put away her smile and sat upright; only then did the dragon flames on Zhao Zhao Fusheng's head gradually fade.

"The Young Island Master must have other things to say."

Skipping this topic, Zhao Zhao Fusheng finally became a bit more normal and said: "A few days ago, an elder divined the heavenly secrets for me, some of which involved you, showing that you might miss an important opportunity recently, but it can still be made up for now. So I specifically came to discuss it with you, feeling that I can contribute a little effort."

Behind Bao Yun looked at Zhao Zhao Fusheng's serious appearance and thought of the hexagram she had just cast, and sighed secretly in her heart. If this guy knew what that opportunity was, she wondered if he would still come to help so eagerly.

Behind Bao Yun composed herself and said: "I appreciate the Young Island Master's intentions. To make up for this opportunity, the price to be paid must be very high. I cannot accept it without merit."

Zhao Zhao Fusheng said: "It's just external things; if they are used, they are used; I will earn them back in the future!"

It must be said that as long as it is not a confession, this Young Island Master is quite calm and generous in his actions and speech.

Behind Bao Yun smiled slightly and said: "I have naturally seen the Young Island Master's demeanor, and not just once. So there is no need to deliberately show it."

Zhao Zhao Fusheng's face turned red again instantly, and he said: "Th, that matter last time was indeed Zhao's fault! Oh, this, how should I put it, I underestimated your value..."

Behind Bao Yun said: "I am not talking about last time; that is already in the past. It is that I accidentally obtained an object, and thus saw the Young Island Master's demeanor again. It is this thing."

Seeing Behind Bao Yun hand over a stone, Zhao Zhao Fusheng suddenly felt a sense of unease. When he took the stone and activated it with Dao power, his hands actually trembled, and then an image appeared in front of him.

That was a side view from very far away, on a bottomless abyss, where Zhao Zhao Fusheng was holding the Kong Que Monk, crossing over.
