Chapter 38: On the Top of the Sacred Mountain

However, Qi Xuansu was a little unsure of Qi Jiayao's thoughts. After all, she had already obtained a fairy object, and it could be said that she had gained a lot. In her own words, at least she had gotten her money back, and there was no need to risk such huge risks. Risk going to Lingshan to look for the "stone of longevity" that may not exist.

To be fair, Qi Jiayao is definitely not a burden. On the contrary, he is an extremely useful helper. He is rich in experience and the key is to be well-informed. He has answered many questions for Qi Xuansu along the way. If Qi Jiayao returns home, only Qi Xuansu would never be any easier if he was alone.

Of course Qi Xuansu hopes that Qi Jiayao will go to Lingshan with him, but he can't force it. After all, he has the backup plan of "Gui Cang Deng", which can save his life at worst, but Qi Jiayao does not have "Gui Cang Deng". Qi Xuansu You can't force others to do something difficult.

But before Qi Xuansu could speak, Qi Jiayao had already taken the initiative and said: "Lingshan is so close in front of you, you kid, you can't be discouraged."

"Ah?" Qi Xuansu was startled. He had been thinking about how to ask Qi Jiayao about his attitude just now, but he never expected that Qi Jiayao would say such things.

Qi Jiayao looked him up and down: "Are you scared? You don't say anything. You listen to me, it's just a silver wax gun head, it just looks shiny. If you and I join forces, it won't be a problem to take him down." ”

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "I was not scared, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Jiayao asked.

Qi Xuansu said: "Fellow Daoist Qi, you have already obtained the 'Bone Mirror'. This is a genuine fairy object. There is no need to take risks in Lingshan Mountain, right?"

Qi Jiayao laughed, with unconcealed sarcasm: "I don't want to take risks, but you have never thought about why I am trapped in Lingshan Cave?"

Qi Xuansu really hadn't thought about this issue and asked subconsciously: "Why?"

"Stupid!" Qi Jiayao inherited the fine tradition of Quanzhen Taoist women and spoke without mercy, "Because the entrance and exit of Lingshan Cave are not at the same location. The entrance can be entered or not, and the exit cannot be exited. Enter, let’s not talk about the entrance, the exit is at the top of Lingshan. I can’t enter Lingshan, so I am naturally trapped here.”

Qi Xuansu "smuggled" in through a pseudo-ascension method and really ignored this problem. At this time, he was reminded by Qi Jiayao and realized the seriousness of the problem. From this point of view, Lingshan must go. Even if it's not for the longevity stone, just to leave this place, I still have to go to Lingshan.

No wonder that man didn't go anywhere and stayed on top of Lingshan Mountain. If you don't go to Lingshan, then no matter how many benefits you get from Lingshan Cave, you can only die in Lingshan Cave. This is really making money in Lingshan, and you want to take it home with you.

Since Lingshan must go, Qi Xuansu no longer has to think about how to unify his thoughts and boost morale, and directly enters the next stage to discuss the specific feasibility.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Fellow Daoist Qi, do you know the origin of this man who guards Lingshan?"

Qi Jiaoyao said: "You are right about one thing. His surname is indeed Yao, and he is the brother of Earth Master. As for his level of cultivation, he is probably on par with you."

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only the creation stage, so he still had to fight. He was most afraid of encountering a fake immortal. The opponent also had a geographical advantage and was assisted by various creations and formations. This place was very special, and he could not summon the three major evil beings. That would be difficult.

However, Qi Xuansu did not dare to be careless and said: "How many creations are there that are similar to the Taiyin Corpse?"

Qi Jiayao didn't care, and waved his hand: "No matter how many creatures there are, and no matter which way he comes, we just go all the way, just to find this old boy, I will take a 'bone mirror' to look at him, and then you give him a punch "Don't worry, the space within Lingshan is relatively strong, let alone a good fortune warrior like you, even if a human being comes, it won't be a big deal."

Qi Xuansu doubted: "With your level of cultivation, can you use immortal objects? Also, doesn't the 'Bone Mirror' suppress you indiscriminately? If you use the 'Bone Mirror', we will also be affected."

Qi Jiayao stretched out his right index finger and swung it from side to side: "According to theory, with my level of cultivation, it is true that I cannot use the 'Bone Mirror', but the mountain man has his own clever plan. You don't have to worry about the specific method. Who doesn’t know the secret yet? Take you for example, you are a good fortune warrior on the surface, but you can actually banish the immortal’s Qingyun and Wu Zhu’s dharma body. Have I ever gotten to the bottom of it? , just don’t ask.”

Qi Xuansu could only nod and said: "Okay, I won't ask."

Qi Jiayao added: "As for the second point you mentioned, you underestimate fairy creatures too much. Previously, the 'Bone Mirror' suppressed everyone's realm cultivation level indiscriminately. That was because no one controlled it. If someone controlled it, , that's another matter. It's like the Shattered Void inherited by Wu Fu. You are just getting a glimpse of it now, and you are not yet proficient. You can only scratch your eyebrows and beards, one by one, but if you reach the realm of immortals, you can point out where to hit. Hey, if you talk about conquering a small area, you will never conquer an acre of land.”

After Qi Xuansu heard this, he suddenly felt like he was at a loss. According to his speculation, this fairy was useless and of little use, but now that Qi Jiaoyao said it, it was actually very useful.

Of course, Qi Xuansu would not regret raising the price. As he said, with his current future, fairy goods are all trivial matters, and they will eventually happen. The guarantee is also a fairy goods. If you sit on the high position of the Grand Master, you will have four immortal objects, and they are also top-notch immortal objects, and you can't even use them.

Qi Xuansu said: "Based on the magical power of the 'Bone Mirror', as long as you can shine the light on the guards of Lingshan, there is no need for more. As long as you weaken him to the infinite stage, I can kill him with one punch. But my opinion is to leave him alive. There is no need to form an irreconcilable feud with the Yao family. Leave some room for maneuver."

As a result, Qi Jiaoyao sneered again: "How did you become a second-rank Taiyi Taoist? Why are you so naive? We broke into the Lingshan Cave Heaven, took away the 'Bone Mirror', and then took away the 'Longevity Stone' on Lingshan. We have already formed a mortal enemy with the Earth Master. Do you still expect the Earth Master to forgive us? For such things, either don't do it, or do it thoroughly."

Qi Xuansu's idea is different from Qi Jiaoyao's.

His "room" does not lie in the severity, but in whether he can "regret".

In the final analysis, this matter is very secretive, and there are very few people who know about it. It is not a rebellion, nor can it be said to damage the authority of the Earth Master. It is more about gains and losses in interests. There is no saying that the Earth Master must kill people to maintain his authority. This can be discussed.

What is the room for "repentance"?

For example, marriage can be revoked. If the two people have different personalities or other reasons, they can still divorce and return to the past track. This is the room for repentance. But if the two people have a child, then life will be completely changed, because it is impossible to put the child back into the mother's womb, which is no room for repentance.

Similarly, it is true that Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao took the "bone mirror". When there is really no way out, the worst thing is to return the "bone mirror". If someone else comes forward to mediate, such as the Heavenly Master, it is still possible to settle it. But if you kill someone, there is no room for "repentance", because the dead cannot be resurrected.

The so-called "either don't do it, or do it thoroughly", this sentence is correct. But it depends on the situation. In the case of rebellion, of course, you have to do it thoroughly. But in other things, there is no need for this.

After all, Qi Xuansu will still be in the Taoist sect in the future. Now he is just trying to find out the truth. He is not going to launch the Yujing Incident to take the throne immediately. It is not a one-time deal, so of course he must be cautious.

If you believe in Qi Jiaoyao's evil, you will have a bad year.

To be honest, if Qi Xuansu really kills someone with one punch, the account will definitely be counted on Qi Xuansu's head. Qi Jiaoyao is just looking in the mirror.

No matter how high the temple is or how far away the rivers and lakes are, you must be on guard against others.

However, Qi Xuansu certainly cannot say these words. In the face of the war, his own people cannot be in chaos or alienated. All contradictions can be put aside for the time being.

It's like the Taoist sect fighting the Buddhist sect. What kind of dispute between the three ways and the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism can be put aside for the time being.

So, it's not that the meritorious officials will be settled after winning, but the contradictions have long been accumulated. After the external enemies are gone, there is no necessary condition to suppress the contradictions. Those contradictions that have long existed have just erupted completely.

Take the dispute between the three paths for example. The conflict between the Zhang family and the Li family can even be traced back to several generations before Xuansheng rebuilt the Dao sect. Therefore, the current situation is the norm. On the contrary, the unity against the outside world during the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was an extremely short-lived "abnormality".

The so-called more friends the better, and don't say things that are not conducive to unity, etc., are all extensions of this kind of thinking.

Xuansheng is well aware of this. He also has many things that he doesn't agree with, but he won't turn his face directly, but solve the main contradiction first. It is necessary to distinguish what is the main contradiction and what is the secondary contradiction.

In the current situation, finding out the truth and leaving Lingshan Dongtian are the main contradictions, and other things are secondary contradictions.

Qi Xuansu turned and said: "You said that the exit of Lingshan Dongtian is located at the top of Lingshan. Where is it exactly?"

Qi Jiaoyao said: "Didn't you see a campfire in your dream? It's near that campfire."

Qi Xuansu began to recall the process of his climbing Lingshan, which was really a long distance.

First of all, Qi Xuansu's mountaineering in his dream did not start from the foot of the mountain, but from the middle of the mountain, so it doesn't seem to be a long way.

Secondly, there were no ancient witch remains or creation mechanisms in Qi Xuansu's dream. The road was smooth and unobstructed. Even if the height of Lingshan was comparable to Kunlun, it would not be a problem if he just climbed the mountain.

Thirdly, the Lingshan Mountain that Qi Xuansu saw in his dream had obvious limitations. He could only climb along a small path, and many places were inaccessible. Perhaps these inaccessible places were very dangerous.

The Lingshan Cave Heaven in reality was obviously very different from the Lingshan Mountain in the dream. There were all kinds of ancient witches and creations, crises everywhere, and dangers at every step. Moreover, he had to start from the foot of the mountain. It was not a simple matter to reach the top of Lingshan Mountain.
