Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

If ordinary people saw it, the city was bustling with people, what a lively scene.But in Lu Qianshan's eyes, it looked different——

Half alive, half dead.

The demonic energy covered the sky and the sun, and the dead walked on the street just like the living, buying and selling things and chatting with people.If it weren't for looking at the pale face, slightly stiff limbs, and body that smelled like corpses, I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the living and the dead.

Lu Qianshan has seen this kind of undead people before. At that time, a huge city was full of undead people, and most of them were stiffened, making their bodies hard and invulnerable. They had to kill a lot of weaklings to level the city. After death, he has become the Lord of the Great Demon City.

In fact, these living dead are not human beings at all, they can only be regarded as living ghosts.Ghosts who failed to enter reincarnation have resentment. This kind of resentment is very attractive to demon seeds. With demon seeds in their bodies, ghosts gradually transform into bodies, and they can live like living people in places full of devil energy.This kind of living ghost is the lowest level, and it can be seen that the level of the ghost refiner is not very high.

They are different from the proprietress outside the city. The proprietress is a ghost, but she is a ghost cultivator. She has cultivated her own body, stopped doing evil, and started to "enjoy" the sufferings of the world again. It is rare to be a good ghost.In addition, the demonic energy in this city is not too strong, and if you can't leave the city for the time being, the proprietress can be regarded as dodged.It's just that I haven't practiced yet, so I can't see what happened in this city.

Yun Shanzi took out a compass, the pointer on it turned like a propeller, and it felt like the compass could go to the sky as soon as he let go.He was so shocked that his face paled, he followed Lu Qianshan step by step, and said in a low voice: "What's going on here? This... What's going on here?"

Lu Qianshan didn't bother to talk to him, so he just walked towards the city.He said Zhou Tong's house in Fourteenth Lane was a groom who told him that Zhou Tong was the leader of Shen, and since he always stayed in an inn when he came out, it was not a problem. settle down.Of course, this is also the prince's will.

Lu Qianshan was not a person who would wrong him, he could stretch and bend him.It's okay to live in the wilderness, but if there is a better place to live, he will definitely not follow the dirty and messy inn.

After walking a long way, he turned around and found that the old Taoist priest Yun Shanzi was still following him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Taoist priest going?"

The old Taoist's eyes were full of panic, and he said embarrassingly: "The poor Taoist is also a little confused now, I don't know if I can follow the fellow Taoist?" harmful.And when he stepped into the city, he felt uneasy. It seemed that the city was full of people, but it made him feel that the city was full of ghosts.

Lu Qianshan thought about it, and it would be nice to have a few errands, so he agreed.

Zhou Tong was skinny, with an honest look on his face. He had a shopkeeper in the city who cooked some food, and even used Lu's thyme as seasoning.There is a small courtyard behind the gate, and they live in this small courtyard.

After confirming the door, Lu Qianshan and Zhou Tong inquired about the affairs of the city.

Zhou Tong knew that there were more people than the proprietresses outside the city. "Since years ago, the number of people in this city has gradually increased. Basically, they can only go in and out, and they are all unfamiliar faces. Some of those people rented a yard inn to live in, and some But I don't know where I live. At night, the city is quiet and quiet. Only the Huajie side is more lively and there are many strangers. But my subordinates always feel that something is not right, because most of the strangers are not I would go out to buy food, and every day when I came out, I would go shopping here and there, like a fly without a head."

Lu Qianshan nodded. Ghosts naturally don't eat things in the yang world, even if they have a demon seed in their body and condense into a human form.

"Then where do they go at night, do you know?"

Zhou Tong shook his head and said: "This subordinate really doesn't know. I once wanted to follow up, but I was very sleepy at night and just wanted to sleep, so until now..." He was a little embarrassed, but more vigilant , "The subordinates noticed that there was indeed a problem, but they didn't know what the problem was, so they didn't report it. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu came here today to inquire about these things."

Yun Shanzi asked, "Then where do the Taoist priests live in the city?"

Zhou Tongdao: "There is a temple in the city. The incense is generally ordinary, but the place is relatively large. It was originally a temple of a big family, but that family committed a crime decades ago, so the temple was empty. There are a few monks. Now there are many Taoist priests and monks living in the inn. There are also Taoist monks living in the inn. This is also where the subordinates feel that something is wrong. Wancheng is just a small town. Suddenly there are more strangers and so many foreigners. It's really confusing."

Lu Qianshan thought for a while, and then asked: "There should be a group of people who entered the city yesterday. They speak with a Kanto accent. About a dozen of them are men. Have you ever seen them?"

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "Coincidentally, those people live in a yard not far from here. What is the name of the Yufeng Escort Bureau? They went to the city yesterday to eat at the subordinate's place, but they haven't seen it yet today." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion ahead, Zhou Tong went out to have a look and then turned back, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, it's just the group of guys from yesterday, Mr. Lu, do you want to see him?"

Lu Qianshan shook his head, he thought for a while and said, "I'll go out first."

Zhou Tong brought him a map of Wancheng, which was clearly marked.The entire city faces south and is divided into five parts. The middle one is the county government. The two sides are rich families, and the south is the residence of ordinary people who buy and sell groceries. It follows the main road, so the daily flow of people is not bad, and you can make some money.

Lu Qianshan glanced at the map, handed it to Yun Shanzi casually, and asked, "Where is the Taoist priest thinking about going?"

Yun Shanzi scratched his gray hair and said, "Let's go to that family temple, I want to see if there are any people coming out of the mountain gate."

"Then I'll go with you." Lu Qianshan also wanted to see what level of cultivators are in this world, if they are all as disgraced as this Yun Shanzi, then he is really disappointed.

The family temple occupies a large area in the north of the city.There was a young Taoist priest chatting with a young monk at the door, looking very bored.

Lu Qianshan and his group walked over, the little Taoist monk raised his head and saw Lu Qianshan first, the little monk clasped his hands together, a little surprised and said: "Benefactor, are you here to burn incense?"

Lu Qianshan said: "Yes, let's burn some incense."

As soon as the little monk heard that someone came to burn incense, it proved that he had made some money. He was very happy and said, "Please, please, is it just burning incense? Do you want to light an ever-burning lamp?"

Lu Qianshan first stood outside and took a look. The temple was also shrouded in a layer of black air, but the black air was thin.Although it is said to be a family temple, after all, it has been worshiped for hundreds of years, and there is still some Buddha nature.Those demonic energy can't occupy here for the time being, they just cover it from a distance, as if they are looking for an opportunity to take advantage of.

He raised his feet and walked in, raised his head to enshrine Maitreya Buddha, and turned to the second hall to enshrine several Bodhisattvas.In front of the Bodhisattva sat a group of old and young monks, knocking on wooden fish and chanting scriptures.On both sides of the Bodhisattva are two seven-treasure glazed trees, which are Zhunti Dharma Treasures and are also commonly worshiped in Buddhism.

When the monks saw the pilgrims, they recited more vigorously.

Yun Shanzi followed up with a tangled expression, and said, "Fellow Daoist...do you want to burn incense here?"

When the little monk heard the word daoyou, he looked at Lu Qianshan alertly, with doubts in his eyes.Even the monk closest to them turned his head to look at Lu Qianshan, as if to say that this is clearly a little brother, how did he become a fellow Taoist?

Lu Qianshan smiled, took three incense sticks and lit them in the incense burner.A puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the incense burner, and the two seven-treasure glazed trees rattled.The monks stopped chanting, and stood up one after another to stare at Lu Qianshan, as if they had run into a ghost.

An old monk walked over quickly, "Amitabha, the donor has a predestined relationship with Buddhism."

Lu Qianshan did not expect that burning three sticks of incense would have such an effect. He looked up at the Bodhisattva, and seemed to feel that the Bodhisattva was trying to tilt his head not to look at him, or lowered his eyes quickly, which was very strange.This reminded him of the Moon Lao Temple on the road, and it also gave him a strange feeling.

When Yun Shanzi heard the old monk say that he had a predestined relationship with Buddhism, he became angry and said, "Why is it related to your Buddhist sect? This is a disciple of my Taoist sect, with a very high level of cultivation, you old bald donkey, don't just recognize relatives."

The old monk was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "When did the Taoist sect have a brother to practice? Niubi, are you afraid that you will lose your mind and go crazy?"

Lu Qianshan gave him a daoism salute, and said with a smile, "I am indeed a daoist casual cultivator."

The old monk was very surprised, and murmured: "But, but... If the benefactor is a Taoist, then why does burning incense trigger the vision of the Buddhist magic weapon? The benefactor is clearly related to my Buddhism."

Yun Shanzi said: "My fellow Taoist is also very proficient in Taoist spells, how could I accompany you to chant scriptures and play with you?"

Seeing that the two old men were about to quarrel, Lu Qianshan quickly stopped him and said, "I came here because of the vision of Wancheng. I heard that many people from other places settled here, so I wanted to come and see."

The old monk looked regretful, and said: "That's true, benefactor, please come with me." He led Lu Qianshan and his party inside, and said as he walked, "Since the past two months, this city seems to be a bit uneven. But the old monk also passed here, but when he was a little older, he brought all the monks to recite scriptures together. When I came here, I used to walk outside at night, and vaguely saw a few lonely ghosts, and recited the mantra to save them. But those ghosts didn't seem to want to leave, and the sky was full of black clouds at that time, and after chanting the rebirth mantra, those ghosts didn't enter reincarnation, but disappeared. So I was very puzzled, so I stayed here, wanting to know how Something happened."

Lu Qianshan followed him through a quiet path and asked, "Did Master go out at night after that?"

The old monk shook his head and said: "It's strange to say that some people are drowsy when Xushi arrives. Before Xushi, the whole city is quiet, only one place in the far south is very lively."

"Flower Street?" Lu Qianshan asked.

The old monk smiled and said: "Maybe it is, I just saw it from a distance, and thought it was really weird. But I was alone, so I didn't come near... But at that time, I never saw lonely ghosts from outside again." .”

Bypass a small garden and come to the living place behind.This was supposed to be the residence of those pilgrims, but now there are no pilgrims, but a group of Taoist priests.Because it was noon, the Taoist priests had lunch together in the largest hall.As for the monks, they are still chanting scriptures outside.

When the Taoist priests saw someone coming, they all stood up and said, "Another Taoist friend came? But because of the vision of Wancheng?"

Yun Shanzi read a Taoist name, and said: "That's right, Yun Shanzi of the poor Daoist Qingshan came here to investigate under the order of his master."

"Hey, why did you bring a little brother?" A tall and thin Taoist wandered over with a fly whisk, his nose was neither nose nor eye, "Is your Qingshan gate about to collapse? How could you let such a high-ranking man?" No one will come. This little brother... Could it be your illegitimate son? Doesn't he look like you? Hahaha... Ah! Who hit me?"

The Taoist staggered a few steps aside as if his mouth had been slapped a few times after laughing a few times, his left face was red and swollen, the corner of his mouth was cracked, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Qianshan thought what the hell, I don't do anything to mortals because I'm afraid it will damage my practice, so I have to bear with something like you?He sneered and said, "If you offend someone by talking nonsense, someone will beat you. Why, don't you agree?"

Seeing the Taoist being beaten, Yun Shanzi was so happy that his chest puffed up, and he said loudly: "This fellow Taoist has profound Taoism, in fact, he can allow you to mess around carelessly?" He was right to follow Mr. Lu. It's so satisfying to be able to slap that guy in the mouth without seeing him move!

The tall and thin Taoist priest was beaten, looking at Lu Qianshan's eyes as if poisoned.He said in a cold voice: "The Qingshan Sect taught good disciples, and they didn't even look at the occasion, and they dared to do something recklessly? A brother who didn't raise children at home but ran out to practice Taoism is really ridiculous!"

Lu Qianshan sneered and said, "An animal can practice Taoism, so why can't my brother practice it? Did this cultivator of Taoism and immortality ever say that brothers and women should not be allowed to practice it? The patriarch didn't say anything, so I use you to bark?"

"You, you!!" The tall and thin Taoist had never been wronged like this, and he couldn't speak out in anger.

An old Taoist priest hurried over and smoothed things over and said: "It turns out that fellow Taoists came here, please, please rest inside. Fellow Taoist Xu, it was originally your fault. Since everyone is a fellow Taoist, there is no need to argue, right?"

Daoist Xu was so ashamed, he slammed his sleeves and went into his room without looking back, and slammed the door behind him.

Lu Qianshan beat the dog in the water hard, and said: "There is no need to argue, but that guy really can't spit out ivory. Could it be that I was insulted by him for nothing? I don't know which sect he is, so arrogant? Or is it that the sect of the sect is in this way?"

The old Taoist didn't expect Lu Qianshan to be a stubborn stubble, so he was also stunned, hesitating and speechless, and just kept looking at Yunshanzi.

Yun Shanzi coughed twice, and said: "That fellow Daoist Xu is from the Liuyun sect, who is good at spells. This Liuyun sect is also a master of Taoism, and they are very good at spells."

Lu Qianshan said oh, and said in his heart that this Liuyun sect is from a small family, and he has never heard of it.May be the world is different?But in the past, among the Ascending Immortals in the Great World, I never heard of anyone who created a mountain and set up a Liuyun to send them out.

The old Taoist saw that he was still acting as if nothing had happened after hearing the words of the Liuyun School, so he was a little uncertain about the origin of this fellow Taoist.

Yun Shanzi explained: "This Fellow Daoist Lu met on the poor road, and his spell skills are quite good. However, Fellow Daoist is a casual cultivator, so he may not be familiar with our Daoist sects."

The old Taoist groaned, and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Loose cultivators can have such a cultivation level. It can be seen that Fellow Daoist Lu will become the mainstay of the Taoist sect in the future. Please, please sit inside, apprentice, and serve tea."

The group of watching Taoist priests in the room hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and emptied the hall.

The old monk clasped his hands together and said: "In this case, please benefactor, I am going to chant scriptures in front." He is really not suitable to participate in this group of bull-nosed fights, even if this benefactor has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, now he is with Taoism More involved, let's not get involved.

In fact, not only the one surnamed Xu has come to the Liuyun faction, but it seems that the surname Xu has a higher status.And the Taoist priests of the Liuyun sect are not badly dressed either. They are dressed in blue and white Taoist robes, where the light is like clouds and fog, and the dark patterns embroidered on the clothes are all amulets of protection.

Lu Qianshan looked away from the Liuyun sect disciples who were sitting next to him, and then looked at the other Taoist priests around him. They were not as rich as the Liuyun sect in terms of their clothes.

When did the Dao Sect fall to this point?Or is it that this small world is so poor in comprehension?

However, Lu Qianshan touched his homespun clothes and felt that he had no right to speak.

But when his eyes wandered to a corner, he stopped.Sitting in that corner was a young Taoist, in his twenties to thirties, not bad looking, with a few cranes embroidered on the hem of his dark blue Taoist robe, with a sword on his waist, and his body was full of spiritual energy, and he was about to build a foundation.

Seeing Lu Qianshan looking there, Yun Shanzi leaned over and said, "That fellow Taoist is the famous Songhe Immortal Master, and now he is also applying for the Liuyun Sect, and he is about to build a foundation."

There is a big difference between being about to build a foundation and having already built a foundation, but it is quite rare for this young man to reach the point where he is about to build a foundation, which arouses Lu Qianshan's interest.

Several little Taoist priests made tea and served it, Lu Qianshan took a sip and put the teacup on the table.It's better to drink water than to drink such rough tea. It's not as good as Xiaolongzai tea. I really feel wronged by the water.

Seeing Lu Qianshan's appearance, the old Taoist didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Yunshanzi, and said with a smile: "I still wonder, when will fellow Taoist Yunshanzi come over, this Wancheng vision is so serious , how could there be no Taoist friend Yunshanzi of the Qingshanmen?"

Yun Shanzi drank the tea and said with a smile, "I wanted to come earlier, but the master is in seclusion, and the master is not in the door. As a disciple, he can only serve in the door. When the master is out of the door, we can respect the master. come out."

"Oh? Immortal Master Yuqiong has left the customs? But has a big breakthrough?"

Yun Shanzi laughed and said, "It's already a great foundation establishment, and it's about to break through and consecrate."

The old Taoist said in surprise: "That is really a great blessing for my Taoist sect. If Immortal Master Yuqiong breaks through and consecrates, then my Taoist sect will consecrate Immortal Master again. It is really gratifying..." He said here, looking at Lu Qianshan, He smiled and said, "I don't know what level this Fellow Daoist Lu has cultivated to now?"

Lu Qianshan smiled modestly and said, "I've already achieved the Dzogchen Foundation Establishment."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, and the Taoist priests whispered to each other, looking at him in surprise.

The old Taoist was taken aback, and so was Yun Shanzi.

Lu Qianshan said again: "Now we just wait for an opportunity to break through the consecration."

The old Taoist stood up abruptly, and said in a trembling voice, "May I ask you, how old are you now?"

Lu Qianshan thought for a while, and said shamelessly, "It's just 17 years old." Then he listened to the sound of air-conditioning around him with satisfaction.

Anyway, he can be regarded as a re-cultivation. Among this group of Taoist priests, he seems to have been cheated. No matter how down-and-out a college student is, he is still a college student. Isn't it easy to beat a group of kindergartens?

But this small world is too miserable, even a consecration can be regarded as a fairy teacher? ?Back then, he was half a step into the immortal sect, and he was nothing more than an immortal teacher.If you want to talk about blowing, this group of people can still blow it.

The old Taoist said excitedly: "I didn't expect it to be Master Lu. Now that Master Lu has come to Wancheng, Wancheng will be saved." , but only gave him a slap.If you encounter someone with a bad temper, even if you kill him, you can only blame yourself for being cheap.

Lu Qianshan waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to call it an immortal master. If the mere foundation building is an immortal master, what about the consecration? What about fusion? How should we call it when we reach Yuanying?"

The old Taoist was dumbfounded, he has lived so long, it is already not easy to see a consecration with his own eyes, let alone Nascent Soul...

Lu Qianshan also felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Could it be that the consecration is considered very powerful?"

Yun Shanzi said: "That's not the case, it's just that those Nascent Soul powers retreated early, and they haven't appeared for a long time. Now I can still see most of them are consecrated immortal masters, and it is very difficult to go up. Like me, like this Daoist Zhang , It is really a shame that I have not yet established a foundation at this age."

It's quite ashamed... It's a shame for his second master to be called Old Foundation Establishment, but these old men don't even have Foundation Establishment...

"Is the Daoist sect so unhappy?" Lu Qianshan said to himself.

"No," the Taoist Zhang said: "It's not that Taoism is not flourishing, but that it's recorded in the records. The rise of Taoism is only a few thousand years ago, and it's even more so for Buddhism. There are no records when counting up, so..."

Lu Qianshan understood that a small world is a small world, and the world didn't take long to form.It's as if he was in the big world back then, but he didn't know how he ended up in the Dharma-ending world. According to the records of the Dharma-ending world, the development of Daoism didn't take long.However, the grand scene of comprehension in those days seems to have disappeared, and it has become an illusory world in people's minds.

But since the big world can be reduced to a doomsday world, can this small world be upgraded to a medium world and a big world?

Just as he was thinking, a man suddenly stood in front of him.Looking up, it was the young man who was called Immortal Master Songhe.

Immortal Master Songhe's face was a little unhappy, he said: "Since fellow Taoist has completed the foundation, would you like to compete with me?" Call it a fairy.Then what is the face of Immortal Master Songhe?

Lu Qianshan shook his head with a smile and said: "The competition can only be called a competition if it is of the same level. If you are with the immortal master, you can only ask me if you can give me advice."

Immortal Master Songhe's face became even darker, if he said to give advice, he would be inferior to others.Although he is listed in the Liuyun sect, he is not the most powerful among them, but he is only 25 years old now, and he is the youngest person who will build a foundation and cultivate Taoism. In the eyes of others, he is a genius.

But now, he actually asked for advice? ? ?

Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Lu Qianshan was a little impatient.A peach blossom popped up with a flick of the wrist, and said: "When will the immortal master catch this peach blossom, and when will I discuss the competition with you."

Immortal Master Songhe looked at the peach blossoms blooming in front of his eyes, his face turned dark.
