Transcendent Dawn Chapter 621: Barren Mountain


Blackpool Mansion, somewhere in a barren hill.

   "It should be... this is it."

   Xu Changqing, wearing a hat and a bamboo basket, looked at the clouds and mist in the mountains: "Grandpa...According to the people at the market, this unknown deep mountain seems to live in seclusion. Taoist."

   "Well, you can go and explore, but you must also pay attention to safety."

   Su Lu reminded calmly.

   After all the things were resolved last time, Xiaozhai Village has no other external troubles.

   And when Xu Changqing's cultivation level has reached the cultivation of gods, there is no way to martial arts, so he must embark on the journey of seeking immortals and visiting the Tao.

   In this regard, Sulu gave him two suggestions.

  The first one is to join the government!

   The Great Luo court can suppress Kyushu, and there are immortals. There should be no shortage of internal immortal cultivation methods. After joining the town demon division and other institutions, they will slowly accumulate merits, and sooner or later they will be able to exchange them.

   However, Xu Changqing just killed another Nine-Rank inspection. It was when he had a guilty conscience and he didn't have much favor with the government, so he refused.

   The second suggestion is to find some cultivating sects.

   In this regard, Su Lu also has no good clues, so he can only let Xu Changqing look for immortals in the territory of Blackpool Mansion.

   If Fuzhong is still not found, then the scope can only be expanded to Lingzhou.

   "To be honest... the wild is really too dangerous, especially in such uninhabited mountains, is it really inhabited?"

   Xu Changqing shuddered inexplicably when he thought of his experience in the wild during this time.

   If it hadn’t been for the practice of God, plus the grandpa’s suggestion, and some luck, it might have been buried on the side of the road.

   This also gave him a deep understanding of why the villagers of this era are unwilling to migrate.

   "Of course ordinary people can't, except for monks!"

  Sulu replied: "I just hope it is not the same as the previous few times..."

   This is not the first place Xu Changqing has looked for. He has also found several Taoist priests who are said to have cultivation bases before.

   But after some trials, I found that most of them were magic sticks, and occasionally a few who practiced martial arts with two hands, even he couldn't beat them, leaving Xu Changqing speechless.

  "This should be a little real, otherwise I dare not live in the wilderness and deep mountains."

   Xu Changqing stepped into the misty mountain range: "And... the legend of this old way has been circulated for decades... There was a woodcutter who said that he had met him before, and it seems that he might have really mastered something. The secret of not getting old and not dying?"

  "You can tell at a glance."

  Sulu remained silent.

   There is no path in the unnamed barren hill, but Xu Changqing's martial arts is already good, walking among the many strange rocks, like walking on the ground.

   half a day passed quickly, and he stopped by a spring without finding anything.

   "This mountain doesn't feel right, it's better not to take local things..." Sulu reminded.

   "Yes."

   Xu Changqing put down his hand that was about to scoop the spring water and grabbed the wine bag around his waist instead.

  The alcohol content in ancient times is very low, it is not easy to get drunk, and it is not easy to deteriorate. It is a good backup option when it is inconvenient to fetch water for long-distance travel.

   He drank a few sips of wine, feeling the pungent taste all the way down his throat, and the body that had been hit by the cold suddenly warmed a bit.

   After a while, Xu Changqing found a rock and sat down, ready to eat the dry food that he brought with him.

After    took a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, his ears moved and heard a song:

  "The content of Kong De, but Tao is obedience. Tao is a thing, but it is only trance......"

   This means that this thing of virtue is determined by Tao. But "Tao" doesn't have a fixed shape.

  "This is Taoge!"

   Xu Changqing came to the spirit, got up and chased where the ballad came from.

   It didn’t take long before he saw an old Taoist priest.

   The other party is wearing a dark and tattered robe, walking through the mountains and forests with a wooden stick.

  "Taoists, please stay!"

   Xu Changqingfei stepped forward and stopped the old way, but was taken aback.

   This Taoist has half black and half white hair, protruding cheeks, sparse teeth, and some subtle incongruities in his facial features such as eyes and nose. It's as if someone installs it at random, which is indescribably strange.

   But he was only surprised in his heart, and on the surface he saluted respectfully: "Under Xu Changqing, I have seen real cultivation!"

   "The old man is not a true cultivation...just a seeker living in the mountains." The old Taoist said, his voice hoarse and slow, like a dilapidated bellows: "Why are you looking for me?"

  "Seeking immortals! I want to learn how to cultivate immortals!"

   Xu Changqing has a firm face.

   Do not cultivate immortals? How to recover the blood debt of Xiaozhai Village?

  "Xian?" The old Taoist smiled lowly: "In your opinion, what is an immortal?"

  "This..." Xu Changqing couldn't answer, but he followed Sulu's proposal and asked, "I would like to ask Mr. Zhang for advice."

  "The immortal, the Tao! The so-called seeking immortality is actually just seeking the Tao!" the old Taoist said solemnly.

   "Then what is "Tao"?"

  "The Tao is a thing, but it is only trance. Trance and trance, there is an image in it; trance, there is a thing in it; and it is drowsy, there is essence in it, its essence is true, and there is faith in it, Since now and in ancient times, his name will not go away, in order to read the public..."

  The old Taoist chanted with a long voice: "We are only humble, small and ignorant... How can we get a shortcut? You can only ask for the'external pill'! I think you have a bit of strength, which can be practiced by the old Tao. 'Wai Dan' can help me, can you help me?"

   "Yes!"

   Xu Changqing said authentically without hesitation.

  "Good!" The old Dao brushed his sparse beard and smiled: "On the day of success, you will be divided into one to help you get closer."

  ……

   "Grandpa..."

   followed Lao Dao~IndoMTL.com~ Recalling his smile, Xu Changqing felt that the other party's face was a little fuzzy.

  He asked in his heart: "Is this man a true monk?"

   "Who told you that he is a human?"

   Su Lu asked back.

  "Not a human?!"

   Xu Changqing's hairs stand upright, feeling that under the other party's ruined robe, he doesn't know what terrible things are hiding.

  "Jushi Xu?"

   Old Dao turned his head if he noticed: "What happened?"

   "No...nothing."

   Xu Changqing reluctantly answered, only to feel that as the sky dimmed, the horror on the other party was constantly recovering.

  ……

  The old Taoist priests lived in a shelter in an unnamed barren mountain. Their residence was a thatched shed.

  He took Xu Changqing to the thatched house and shouted: "Cool breeze, bright moon!"

   The two Taoist boys came out from the thatched hut and called them Master.

   The two of them had red lips and white teeth, a little cinnabar mole between their eyebrows, and their innocent and brilliant smiles, which made Xu Changqing's mood a lot relaxed.

  The old Taoist took him to an alchemy furnace again, and said: "The old Tao wants to refine the'external pill'. It lacks a few medicinal materials and the use of flint. It depends on your strength..."

   "Please don't worry, the chief minister, I will take care of it."

   Xu Changqing promised, patting his chest.
