The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 339: Distracted

"Qingyue, Qingyue, Qingyue? What's wrong with you? Are you fainting?"

Li Fan blinked, looking left and right. Following Xuantian's call, the white snowfield melted in his vision, as if the screen had been burned and blurred from the retina. There was a dazzling feeling after looking directly at the bright light. After getting dizzy, the scene of the Jade Pool was once again burned into his vision, pulling his consciousness back to his original body.

"Ah...ah? That's it? Don't you want to hang out for a while longer? Can you add an extra hour?"

Xuan Tian said, "Isn't it the end of soaking? I drank all the soup for you..."

Li Fan rubbed his eyes and found that the soup pool had really dried up, and the surrounding stone sculptures no longer produced water. Of course, his body had generally recovered, his hands had grown new skin, and the meridians in his body had been repaired, so he could adjust his breath unimpeded.

The 'Blood Punishment Seal' has finally dissipated, but in the Divine Courtyard, the soul power of the Blood Urn Divine Sword still remains. A large jungle of red blood swords is stuck on the ground. Looking from a distance, the Divine Courtyard looks like a Jinglin Sword Tomb. , like a battlefield after a bloody battle. With this sense of déjà vu, Li Fan couldn't help but want to sing loudly that he was made of swords...

But looking at this sword hill now, Li Fan was helpless. If the sword power of Taiyin Sword Jue was too strong, he could still find Yue Po to resolve it, but the blood baby followed Qiongqi. How should he resolve it now? Ah, by the way, speaking of this...

"Qiongqi's clone? Can't worship the moon?"

Xuantian listened to Li Fan describe the previously recovered clone memory, and thought for a while.

"You have been soaking in the pool for more than a month. It stands to reason that the Yin spirit that has left the body has no body protection. It usually dies when exposed to light. It can only wander outside the sky for seven days before dissipating.

But you can still sense each other now. I'm afraid it's not the white demons collected by Canglong that have special effects and can preserve Taisu Dao Yuan Shen for a long time, so you can indirectly refine the clones.

Although you have practiced my sword sect's Five Luo Sword Demon Distraction, now your two Tao bodies are too far apart, even far away from the Yinshan Icefield and Yuntai Peak's various restrictions. The sword demon's sword fighting skills , it is already very difficult to be able to sense and communicate with each other, and it is naturally impossible to control the remote control while distracted.

But this is not a difficult task. This is Yuntai Peak, a gathering of Taoist sects and true immortals. You can ask for a soul method that can remotely control the cultivation of clones, and both sides can practice together. This can't be regarded as the secret of refining Qi, not to mention that many true cultivators are now setting up clones in Yuntai Peak, which can be exchanged for a few elixirs. "

It's really good to have Xuantian by my side. He is a complete encyclopedia of immortality. As long as it doesn't involve Taisu, science and other foreign magic, he will definitely have a solution.

So Li Fan climbed out of the Yaochi, found a change of clothes and a Taoist jade pendant at the door, put the flowerpot in his arms, resumed his attire as a Louguan Taoist priest, and went out.

When he came, he was taken by the temple owner and flew into Yuntai Peak for treatment. He was so confused that he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scene. Now that his mood had calmed down a bit, he had the mood to look around at Yuntai Feng's true appearance.

How can I put it, if the 'Yuntai Peak' where his soul left the body and used Xuanmen methods to go to was a fantasy virtual world in the skin of a fairy, then the real Yuntai Peak itself is even rougher and even forcibly used. Xianxia style building, disguised stage scenery. .

When Li Fan walked out of Yaochi, he found himself standing on a square platform like a helicopter pad halfway up the mountain. Above his head was the majestic Taoist Tower of Immortal Palace. Various pearls and gems shone with colorful halos, like bubbles wrapped in them. There are flying fairy palaces floating above your head.

Looking around, there is a cliff and an abyss. There is no passage in all directions, and it is obvious that the only way is to use sword escape. From a high position, one can see the iron cliffs below, which are shining with lights, as well as the monks who look like birds from a distance, flying in the wind with their large robes spread out, flying between them.

Li Fan understood. If you ignore the palace towers that were forcibly built on the top of Yuntai Peak and the outermost layer, this fairy island is essentially a metal city built up of hives.

So he jumped off the high platform, opened his black robe, and flew through the steel cliff jungle like a crow. Fall into the maze-like corridor below.

There are pigeon towers everywhere, a hundred-meter-high city wall, stacked together like building blocks, with densely packed rooms on both sides. Most of the gatehouses are closed, and the few things that can be entered have been cleared out, making it impossible to see. As is. Only two people can walk parallel to each other on the walkway, and you can almost jump over the tall buildings opposite. The immortals did add a lot of illegal structures such as bamboo bridges, iron cables, and plank roads to connect many buildings together. In this way, those Yuntai Peak boys who cannot fly like true immortals can climb quickly and shuttle between various Taoist palaces.

Yes, the Yuntai Peak boy, the Ancient Immortal Sect like Penglai has boys from the Weapon Spirit and the Monster Spirit Tribe serving him, but in a place like Yuntai Peak, Xuanmen naturally doesn't trust those who are not from our race.

This time Li Fan saw the real bodies of Yang Sheng and the boys who served at Yuntai Peak in Jiagui in the outside world. It's no wonder that old antiques like Xuanmen are interested in the mechanisms of Mozhu Mountain. Taking a closer look, the bodies of these children were clearly wooden puppets.

These dolls were carved lifelike and skillfully, just like real people. Each of them wore Taoist robes and had talismans on their faces. Like apes and spiders, they were flexible enough to jump between corridors and palaces, because Yuntai Peak cannot use storage jade. , one of their main tasks seems to be to collect letters, pills, magic weapons and the like in their bodies, and transport them back and forth.

Li Fan took a quick look and saw that there were hundreds of these busy boys like worker bees. Perhaps behind each of them, there is the soul of a captured human child, controlling it in the illusion, right?

"These things are not from Yuntai Peak. They are probably brought over from other sects or newly made by other sects."

Xuantian circled around a boy and returned to Li Fan's palm.

"Not only the talismans of big sects like Emei Songshan, but also Maoshan, Huotongshan, Qingchengshan...those ancient sects and Yinxian sects that have not been born for a long time all have the methods. It is the old people who got together to come up with new ones. thing.

Tsk, this place is no longer the same as Yuntai Peak in Jiuyin Mountain back then. I can’t even sense where Jiange is…”

No, this map is similar to the Kowloon Walled City, and sometimes it is an illusion barrier of immortality, sometimes it is a labyrinth trap of an agency, and sometimes it is a scientific access control. It is simply a hell for a roadie...

Li Fan flew and glided in the corridor, trying to memorize the layout of the Yuntai Peak. It might be useful in the future, but when he flew to the outside, he found that the many Yuntai Peak boy dolls seemed to be more than just maintaining the entire Yuntai Peak. The operation of the peak continues to expand the fairy city. On the skeleton of Gangtie City, more Taoist temples are built, spell arrays are arranged, and the entire Yuntai Peak is built into a real fairy mountain.

In addition to places for monks to live and practice, they also built shelters such as warehouses and planting areas. At this moment, many flying skyscraper ships can be seen sailing into the temporary dock, one after another, bringing people from Shuofang Town. Soldiers and civilians were transported to the Fairy Mountain.

This large-scale Gonggexian City must not have been built specifically for the purpose of searching and rescuing the northern soldiers and civilians, that is, it was used temporarily. Now it is a piece of cake to house the soldiers and civilians of the three towns, and there are unfinished fortifications everywhere. Looking at this scale, I'm afraid there are still many people who want to take him away.

It seems that just as Hengshan said, Yuntai Peak is the second Emei Golden Summit jointly built by Immortal Palace Sanyuan and Xuanmen, and is the ark for escaping to another world. Maybe the Yuntai Peak organization was established with the support of the Xian family's "ship ticket".

Of course, the soldiers and civilians in Shuofang didn't know about this kind of thing. When Li Fan landed next to the corridor, he could see that the residents who had disembarked were organized by the immortal army to receive food and clothing, and were arranged to stay in the warehouse temporarily. They all shed tears of gratitude and expressed their gratitude. He knelt on the ground and thanked his master for saving his life. He was called a benevolent and virtuous prince, and a saint was reincarnated.

On the spot, the vast majority of the feudal soldiers surrendered and were willing to be the Taifu's servants. There are also a small number of qualified ones who are selected and accepted as servant disciples by Xuanmen monks. Although I don’t know whether this Tai Tuo is truly benevolent, or he is used to putting on airs to win people’s hearts, or whether the Immortal Palace is really short of human resources recently. But no matter what, compared to those immortals who didn't care at all, it was already pretty good.

Li Fan watched in silence for a while, then turned around and flew up, using the method of blindness to track the signals of his spiritual consciousness, looking for the temple owner and Yao Xuanzhou, and found a newly built Taoist temple.

This is exactly what Lou Guandao has at Yuntai Peak. Li Fan can naturally come and go freely. He first took out the Taoist ultimatum to register, and by the way, he asked where he could change his mind to practice.

After all, Lou Guandao's foundation is still relatively shallow. At this time, the temple leader and the prison are still in retreat. Maybe Xiao Yao doesn't have the word "Zhu" on his forehead, and Yuntai Peak didn't give him a sauna reward, so he hasn't recovered yet.

Now there is only one Yuanying Master, Master Xue, in charge. This Xue Zhenren is also a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance. At first glance, he looks like Lou Guandao. If he has any characteristics, he lost his legs when he broke through the Ten Jue Formation, and now he needs the Bone Sheng Pill to slowly grow them back. So he simply stayed at Yuntai Peak to guard him, and he came and went in a wheelchair.

Master Xue also had nothing to do. When he saw his disciple coming to check in, he helped Li Fan calculate his monthly salary for the past two years.

Well, because Li Qingyue still owes two dragons to the sect, he is not considered a dragon-mugging judge, and he has no other guarding duties, so he can only be regarded as an ordinary inner disciple of Lou Guan Tao. Of course, Master Yuanying gave him two thousand shi of grain and rice every month. Li Fan calculated that he had been away from the mountain for almost two years, and he had almost 40,000 shi of stipend and rice that he had not received. If he had to withdraw money according to the current rice price of 2,500 shi for one stone, he could probably convert it into cash. Shengang's money is one hundred thousand dollars.

But Master Xue told him that "Mozhushan Li Qingyue" did not have one hundred thousand guan in his name, let alone 40,000 shi. In fact, he owed the master a lot of food money, and after the settlement, he only had 20,000 shi. If he had money, he would go with him. Pay it back.

Li Fan said that it must be impossible. This must be a rumor, a slander, and a slander.

Master Xue asked, did you raise that loach that was eating and drinking everywhere and writing IOUs in Li Qingyue's name?

Li Fan......

In short, not only did he have no salary to draw, but he also paid off a huge debt for Kun, so he was really lonely...

Okay, but Li Fan and Zhenren Xue talked about rice prices and the recent situation, and they also heard a lot of new information.

Now food is a strategic material. It has a price but no market. Probably in order to prepare for the second Western Expedition, the Immortal Palace has implemented a food embargo control. The Taifu has ordered that not a single grain of rice is allowed to leave the Central Plains and fall into the hands of the cult. go.

Of course, it's not just rice, it also includes various spiritual stones and silks, equipment for making talismans and refining weapons, and materials for repairing weapon formations. All military resources are strictly controlled. The Immortal Palace not only blocks the various passes leading to the Kun Kingdom, but also There is a large-scale war preparation in the west, preparing for the large-scale western expedition of the Immortal Palace and Xuanmen Alliance. The savings of the entire Central Plains are being gathered in Sanyuan at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And it’s not just to prepare for the Western Expedition, but also the Eastern Expedition!

It turns out that in the past few months when Li Fan went north, the princes and ministers of the Zhen Kingdom thought that Miyuan Xin had suffered a defeat and lost all face. He must not have the energy to distract himself before solving the divine religion. In addition, the crusade against the Kun Kingdom was also , have been preparing for three years, and at this time there must be no time to pay attention to the chaos in Zhenzhou.

So the princes and princes of the Xiao family let go of their hands and started fighting in a melee, and the fight was endless. The traitorous general Hou Gu was also mixed in, jumping around and tossing repeatedly. As a result, not only was no one able to unify the country, but the elites were also fighting. The dead and wounded were exhausted, their vitality was severely damaged, and there were even floods that flooded the city. As a result, the plague was rampant, fertile farmland was destroyed, and countless people died.

So at this time, Sanyuan launched the Eastern Expedition! Moreover, the decisiveness of his actions can be said to be extremely fast. After reaching a consensus with Yuntai Peak, the Taifu Mansion burst out with breathtaking execution capabilities. Canglin's food and salary were exhausted, and the main forces of the three armies of East, South, North and Suwei gathered together. out! It is said that the fastest vanguard penetrated Zhen country in only fifteen days and captured the city by killing generals!

At this point, the feudal lords and chess players all over the world also knew that Miyuan had been planning for many years and was going to attack the local feudal clan again.

But now, not to mention that the power period of the divine religion in Kun State has passed, and the heavy troops of the Hebei vassal town can no longer check and balance the Central Plains. Even because of the ambition of the Gao family of the Heavenly Soldier Army, a annexation war will inevitably begin in Hebei. As a result, the Beisu guards in Immortal Palace were able to free their hands and feet and pull the main force away from the Genhe defense line.

The three established countries in the southeast, Li, Xun, and Zhen, either broke out in civil war or surrendered directly. The northwest was frightened by the divine soldiers and had to rely on the support of the Immortal Palace. Yuntai Peak was still endorsing the Taifu. Time has actually changed the situation between offense and defense, and even the Immortal Palace has the momentum to dominate the world!

Well, there is another force on the chessboard that threatens Miyaki's strategic layout.

That is the Nangong family.

The Nangong Clan now controls half of the Li Kingdom. The east side has joined forces with the Sunda Crown Prince's party, and the west side has blended with the Divine Cult. Now the Nangong Crown Prince still occupies the North Road and maintains communication with the Kun Kingdom's Divine Cult army. Food and military supplies from the Li Kingdom and the Sunda Kingdom will be continuously delivered to the Divine Cult army in the Kun Kingdom, helping the Divine Cult to quickly restore their combat power and alleviate the supply pressure across Kunlun.

Therefore, if Taifu wants to achieve the strategic goal of completely cutting off the food routes in all directions and cutting off the supplies of the divine army, he must deal with the Nangong Xianjun. This is the main reason why Lou Guandao was able to successfully obtain the support of the Taifu and join the Yuntai Peak Alliance.

"...So Mo Zhushan is responsible for going north to cut off this supply line? Does this mean he has officially turned against the Nangong family and started a war?" Li Fan was full of expectations for a while, and finally heard the good news.

Xue Zhenren shook his head, "What are you thinking? We are in danger, how can we do this? Now there is a letter from Mozhu Mountain, and the demon kings of Shiwanda Mountain have begun to contact each other. There is a secret report that they have contacted and joined forces with the spirit king of the South China Sea, and there are also some in the direction of Kunlun. Unusual movement. In the worst case scenario, I, Mo Zhushan, have to support myself independently to withstand the siege from Nangong, the demon tribe, the spirit king, and the divine sect from four directions.

Taifu hopes that we can hold on until Zhenzhou is pacified, at least not allowing the divine religion to take the opportunity to connect Kun, Li, and Xun and gain a foothold in the south. He promised that he would only wait until the Yuntai Peak Xuanmen factions completed their mobilization. The Western Expeditionary Army launches a counterattack against the Divine Cult Army in Kunzhou, and everything will be fine. "

Li Fan, "...so can I ask how far Xuanmen is mobilized now?"

Xue Zhenren also spread his hands, "I don't know. Originally, Songshan had taken the lead in making preparations, but Emei suddenly closed the mountain, and Penglai and Hengshan also changed their minds. They said that the number of disciples in the sect was low and the manpower was insufficient. Seeing the big sect taking the lead is like this. Shirking, so the enthusiasm of other Xuanmen factions to participate in the war is not very high. I think we need to discuss it for another year or two..."

Li Fan, "..."
