Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

All around, be quiet.

Only wisps of smoke continued to emerge from the hanging token, gathering more and more, and then spread out like lotus, filled with fragrance.

Shao Xiaoyun stood on it, slim and graceful, with her jade feet lifted lightly, and the colorful colors surrounding her body, which made her temperament more blurred and changing. When she saw that Zhou Qing was silent, she raised her eyebrows.

Jinghe Hebo is indeed very sophisticated. This move immediately puts Zhou Qing in a dilemma. No matter which one he chooses, he will end up badly. In the end, he reaped the benefits gently and deftly.

But being in it and thinking from other people's perspective is not easy to solve.

Zhou Qing had already made up his mind. He glanced at Shao Xiaoyun who was standing dreamlike on the colorful smoke, and his heart moved again.

The power of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is at the forefront, so if you don’t use it, it will be in vain.

So, with a cold air in his eyes, he covered the surrounding area with a layer of extreme ice blue, and said coldly: "In this case, we can only focus on the present, and we cannot let Zhu Su ascend to the throne of God and complete He Bo's mission. The mission is to first obtain the God’s Order from the River God of Stone Bay.”

Zhou Qing's voice continued, the air-conditioning was strong, and they collided with each other, like pearls and jade flying around, and cranes pecking at the ice. When people heard it, they only felt cold in their hearts. He said: "As for the revenge of those behind Zhu Su in the future, we can only stop it with soldiers, water. Come to earth and leave it to fate."

Shao Xiaoyun listened to the cold words, and as soon as he heard them, he felt the unshakable determination inside, and a strange color appeared in his beautiful eyes.

If she were given the choice, she would do the same. Think about the present first, and then think about the long term. After all, if you can't take care of the present, if you can't pass the test, where will the future be?

The reason is simple, but it is just like not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. As a person in the game, it is easy to fall into cognitive barriers and find it difficult to extricate ourselves.

The black snake in front of me can make decisions in a short period of time and is unswerving. This quality is extremely rare and precious among water monsters.

As long as he can get through this, he will have great potential in the future.

Shao Xiaoyun also strengthened her previous judgment. She smoothed the green hair that had accidentally hung down with her hands. It was filled with light and was hazy and changeable. She said: "I really want the people behind Zhu Su to take revenge, and I will not ignore it."

The voice sounded soft and pleasant, but the confidence in his tone was beyond words.

"Okay." After hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, with a little gratitude on his face, and he said, "As long as you can help me get through this, if anything happens in the future, just ask."

Shao Xiaoyun expressed satisfaction with Zhou Qing's statement. She raised her head and looked at the bank of the Leping River. There was a goddess temple standing, and the halo of light spread out, surrounding a beautiful bright red.

Just looking at the incense, the accumulation of bamboo inside is getting deeper and deeper, and the day of ascending to the throne of God is getting closer and closer.

Taixiao Sect not only pays attention to Zhusu, but they also have arrangements for Leping River, which can be regarded as occupying a favorable location and people. In view of this, it is not convenient for the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to intervene directly. Because once you intervene, your traces will be easily exposed, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, just because you can't intervene directly doesn't mean you can't intervene indirectly. You can also help Black Snake.

Shao Xiaoyun pondered for a while and came up with an idea. Then he turned to Zhou Qing and said, "I will prepare something for you as soon as possible. It will come in handy at a critical moment."

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded vigorously. As the other party's Ten Thousand Demon Sect's alchemy monk, his shot would be of high quality, which he could only hope for.

Shao Xiaoyun said a few more words before dispersing the projection.

Zhou Qing stared at the other party's remaining colors after he left, one after another, like a peacock spreading its wings. In the extreme beauty, there was another kind of danger. He smiled, raised his hand to take off the token of calmness, and put it away.

"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect."

A sneer appeared on Zhou Qing's face, with a cold light in his eyes.

He is not a Jinghe water demon, but he is from the Zhenyi Sect, and he understands the methods of a demon sect like the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. The more he seems to be responsive to your needs and good at everything, but later on he will break your bones and suck out your marrow, draining you completely.

Disciples of the Demon Sect are best at eating people without spitting out their bones, so they are by no means good.

The demon girl from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect who is in contact with him now seems to be helping him wholeheartedly, but it's not that she has a kind heart and good intentions, but that she wants a lot. Once she achieves her goal, she will definitely be abandoned. All "eats" and "drinks" must be vomited out.

The disciples of the Demon Sect are like jackals and cannot be trusted!

Fortunately, Zhou Qing understood this from the beginning. His current plan is to use the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in Jinghe to "borrow the chicken to lay the egg." Eat the "sugar-coated" provided by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and then look for a good opportunity to give them the "cannonballs".

Although the Demon Sect is as cunning as a ghost, Zhou Qing grasps one thing: the enemy is in the light and he is in the dark, and he will definitely let the Demon Sect drink the foot-washing water.

"Ten thousand demon sect matters, take your time." Zhou Qing thought, he had to make full use of the demon sect's power in Jinghe, and then give them a hand, "The bows and birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning ones are hidden." The rabbit dies and the lackeys cook.”

From now on, he should cooperate more with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and use the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to serve himself as much as possible.

By the river, Wuma Shi was wearing a Taoist robe, a crown on his head, and a pair of cloud-climbing shoes at his feet, coming slowly from a distance.

The wind coming from the Leping River carries moist water vapor and hits people with a wet and cool feeling.

But he didn't care, because there was a layer of water around him, and any water vapor that came in was trapped in it, and then absorbed into the body through the innate spiritual orifice.

After all, Wu Ma Shi practices the Water Elemental Technique, and these methods can be easily used at his fingertips.

Half an hour later, a water temple appeared in front.

The water temple is not large in area. It is hidden among the green pines and green bamboos. Among the red bricks and green tiles, a circle of red clouds invisible to the naked eye rises into the sky and scatters in all directions, just like the water vapor blowing from the Leping River. It seemed like a colorful rain fell.

It was dusk at this time, but there were still pilgrims in twos and threes who came to offer incense. The curling smoke filled the water temple together, forming waves in circles and going in all directions.

Wuma Shi took a quick look and found that the pilgrims who came to the Shuishui Temple were all poor people, wearing simple clothes. Their outer skin showed a bronze color due to exposure to wind and sun. Even from a distance, you can even smell the fishy smell coming from them.

The believers who come to offer incense at the Water Temple are nearby fishermen. They depend on the water and the Leping River for their livelihood, and they ask for peace.

Making a living on the water is too uncertain. From time to time, you will encounter storms that sweep away everything, and even water monsters. Every time you can return safely, it seems to be a kind of lucky escape.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for fishermen to seek blessings from gods.

"Faith, incense, and gods." Wuma Shi stood in the corner of the water temple. He saw what he saw with his eyes, what he thought in his heart, and what he sensed with his spiritual consciousness.

There is no place where you cannot practice, and there is no time when you cannot practice.

As a disciple of Taixiao Sect, Wuma Shi can stand out and be valued by others, and he is by no means an unknown person.

When all the believers who came to offer incense in the water temple left, the door was closed, leaving only a bright moon hanging high, spreading its clear light all over the ground.

Wuma Shi then straightened his clothes and came to the hall in front of the water temple. Inside is a goddess, wearing a crown on her head and clothes of the gods, embroidered with billowing waves, with an old turtle at her feet and a flower basket in her hand.

Threads of incense and wish power are being poured into the statue. Looking with Dharma eyes, there is a mysterious symbol inside the statue, like a small whirlpool. The power of incense enters, disappears little by little, and then spits out inexplicable divine light, surrounding it.

It seemed that the power of the incense wish had been digested, or that it sensed the arrival of Wuma Shi. Suddenly, a golden light visible to the naked eye appeared above the statue. It was three feet long, and there were divine inscriptions that kept jumping inside. In the sound of waves, it was like a tide, pouring in.

The light jumped, fell to the ground, and then kept colliding, turning into a woman. She was like jade, with her own light. She held a lotus flower, which corresponded to a divine pattern on the curved eyebrows. She had a soft and weak temperament. .

After the woman appeared, she looked at Wuma Shi. Her beautiful eyes were full of water and color. Her voice had a gentleness, like the warm wind in the morning. She said: "Fellow Taoist Wuma, thank you very much for these days." Protect me so that I can cultivate to perfection and ascend to the throne of God soon.”

She said this sincerely.

It is difficult to follow the path of Shinto.

At the beginning, you should practice Yin Qi and accumulate it continuously. Only when it reaches a certain level can it produce efficacious effects, recruit believers, carve statues of gods, build shrines, and grow stronger.

There were many ups and downs along the way. If it weren't for the Wu Ma Shi guard in front of me, who put in a lot of effort, I really wouldn't be where I am now.

Wuma Shi waved his hand. He was busy here not only for the bamboo in front of him, but also because of the layout of the sect.

He looked at the halo behind Zhu Su opposite him, and with his discerning eyes, he could see that there was still an undetectable shadow inside. Although they are rare, they do exist.

Such a dark shadow prevents the opponent's Yin Qi body from being perfect.

It is difficult for a Yin spirit to become a saint for a thousand eons. As a body of Yin energy, Zhu Su has reached its limit after practicing till now. Next, he must prepare to ascend to the throne of God.

If it fails, everything will naturally disappear without a trace. If it succeeds, when he becomes a god, he can receive a divine order and use the power inside to turn the yin energy in the body into divine power. The yin and yang will be generated, and he will officially step into the position of a god.

By then, the road ahead will be wide open, and it will be very different from now.

It's just that it's not easy for Zhu Su to ascend to the divine throne and become the real Leping River God.

Generally speaking, like Zhu Su, those who want to become a god need an order to become a god, which makes it easier to transform their power and give birth to divine power.

The current situation is that Zhu Su does not have a god-like order suitable for her.

In fact, for Shangxuan sects like Taixiao Sect, there is no shortage of orders to confer gods among their sects. The sects also often confer gods on them and let the little gods do things for the sect. But in Tongbaizhou and Jinghe River, Taixiao Sect does not have this water area that can be used by Zhu Su to enshrine the gods.

Thinking of this, Wuma Shi spoke and said, "Miss Zhu, you have to be ready when you ascend to the throne of God."

"I know." There was determination on her pure and beautiful face. How could she not know the ups and downs on the road to becoming a god?

In the large body of water like the Jing River, those who can become river gods are almost all powerful demon generals in the water. As a Yin spirit that gave birth to spiritual consciousness, and as a human Yin spirit, she was innately incompatible with them.

As a minority and a heretic, the pressure we face is always great.

What's more important is that she doesn't have an edict to consecrate the gods from He Bo of Jinghe Water Mansion or Taiting Lake Dragon Palace.

Without Leping River's decree to become a god, and having to ascend to the position of water god in Leping River, if she didn't have the support behind her, she would have given up long ago, because it was too difficult and too difficult to reach the sky.

Seeing that the woman opposite was too serious, as if the energy around her was frozen, Wuma Shi, an outstanding disciple of Taixiao Sect, smiled and said: "Miss Zhu, don't be too nervous, as long as you are prepared, you will succeed." The possibility is huge.”

He said this not only because he had confidence in Zhu Su, but more importantly, he had confidence in his own sect, Tai Xiao Zong.

The Jing River is not a major artery in Tongbaizhou, but the Taiting Lake where it flows into is definitely one of the most important hubs in the entire Tongbaizhou.

Because of this, Tai Xiao Zong has always wanted to get involved in the Jing River.

However, Tai Xiao Zong has already established a firm foothold in Tongbaizhou, and at the same time, it faces more and more pressure. Therefore, when doing things on the Jing River, they must have a legitimate reason and be cautious.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet Zhu Su.

In the previous life, Zhu Su was the river god of Leping River. In the previous life, he practiced a magic formula of the lower sect of Tai Xiao Zong. As for this life, he has gained wisdom from the Yin spirit, realized the method by himself, and embarked on the road of the gods.

When the people of Tai Xiao Zong saw it, they were ecstatic. Because according to the above cause and effect, they have the opportunity to help Zhu Su become the river god of Leping River.

Once Zhu Su becomes the god of Leping River, Taixiao Sect can use Leping River as a bridgehead to plot the entire Jing River.

Such an action is in line with the rules of Tongbaizhou and is impeccable. It is just the right reason.

Therefore, Taixiao Sect's support for Zhu Su is very strong. Not only does it respond to every request, but it also allows a disciple like me who is in the third stage of Qi Refining to come and protect me.

In fact, it is because Taixiao Sect is afraid that other forces will be dissatisfied and cause unpredictable chain reactions that they only sent me. If possible, with the importance that Taixiao Sect attaches to Zhu Su, it is not an exaggeration to let three or four people come.

Zhu Su listened to Wu Ma Shi's words, thinking about the methods and resources provided by the other party to practice the way of God, and his heart gradually relaxed.

Speaking of which, his internal skills have been perfected and there is no room for improvement. To ascend to the throne of God, the most feared thing is the external disaster.

"External disaster." Hearing Zhu Su's concerns, Wu Ma Shi said, "Due to the constraints from above, people of the level of Jinghe River Lord will definitely not take action on the day you become a god. If they come, at most they will be his generals and navy."

Wu Ma Shi's eyes were shining with golden light, and he said, "When the time comes, I will protect you and will never let others destroy your godhood ceremony."

After seeing Wu Ma Shi's methods and hearing these confident words, Zhu Su finally felt relieved.

She looked outside, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and she would be able to ascend to the throne of god in five days.
