Chapter 50 Little Monk, Big Monk
The next day.
Once in Xiangyang Courtyard, neighbor Uncle Li heard some noise in the yard and came over happily to tell Qiu Zhen.
Last night, I suddenly stopped having nightmares in the second half of the night and slept very soundly.
"Xiao Zhen, do you think that evil cultivator was killed by the Demon Suppression Division, or was he scared away?"
Qiu Zhen nodded:
"I suppose so."
Uncle Li was in a very good mood and couldn't help but praise:
"The captains from the Demon Suppression Division in Changle Prefecture are really different. Once they take action, they can immediately produce results. When demons and evil spirits see them, they are like cats seeing mice. They dare not move at all!"
"That's not true. The people from Changle Prefecture's Demon Suppression Division are naturally brave and good at fighting. They are invincible. How can a mere demon or evil spirit be their opponent!"
Qiu Zhen laughed and joked.
After chatting with Uncle Li, he went straight to Qiu's house. After having breakfast with his family, he immediately rushed to Aoki Castle.
Somehow, after seeing the big monsters fighting in the mountains last night, he felt uneasy all the time, as if something big was going to happen.
Ankang House.
"Xiao Zhen, what is it about the [Xunfeng Immortal Deer Picture] that you cannot comprehend?"
Ankang led Qiu Zhen to sit down, looked him up and down, and was a little surprised:
"You mastered the [Xunfeng Immortal Deer Tendon] so quickly? It seems to be even faster than the first time you tried it."
Generally speaking, as the Qi and blood grow stronger, each level becomes more difficult than the previous one, and the more you advance in the later stages, the more difficult it is to stabilize the Qi and blood.
However, it was the opposite for Qiu Zhen, who found it increasingly easier to break through the barriers.
Ankang thought of something and asked:
"Isn't it fate again?"
"Haha~"
Qiu Zhen smiled, Manager An was really smart and was able to answer the questions quickly.
The first time, he stayed in the An family for two days to cover up the truth, but today, in order to get information, he ignored this point.
However, this is not a big problem.
Qiu Zhen remained calm and looked around the hall, seeing no one around:
"Manager An, I don't know what happened, but since we went into the mountains to hunt, everything seems to be going smoothly."
It’s fate again.
Ankang suddenly realized something and showed a serious look of thought on his face. After a while, he said:
"You may have a destiny that is related to mountains, hunting, treasure hunting, etc. You venture into the mountains, and you must be nourished by the natural inspiration of the mountains."
Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly, looking like he was learning something.
"This is a good thing!"
Ankang looked excited and said:
"You should go into the mountains to hunt for treasures in the future. You will have a bright future."
"I know."
Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly and then asked casually:
"Manager An, I went into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt last night, and I saw some monsters fighting each other. Nothing will happen, right?"
"You saw it again?"
Ankang shook his head, the smile on his face faded, revealing a solemn expression:
"To be honest, something big is going to happen."
"What's the big deal?"
"A beast tide is about to happen."
Ankang couldn't help but sigh:
"It is said that there is chaos in the mountains, with countless monsters and ferocious beasts rioting. In a few days, there will be a big chaos."
Coming out of Ankang Mansion, Qiu Zhen was in a rather heavy mood.
Sure enough, something happened.
I thought I could practice peacefully and develop in Qingmu Town, but I didn't expect that something unexpected would happen so soon.
Fortunately, he brought his parents and elder brother to Aoki Castle in advance. After all, the suburbs are definitely much safer than the countryside.
As usual, Qiu Zhen should have gone to the pharmacy to study medical books, but this time he was not in the mood and ran to the rice shop to buy food.
After working for an entire afternoon, they bought thirty shi of grain and brought it all back to Xiangyang Qiu's house.
The eldest brother Qiu Qing, who was standing in the courtyard, was surprised to see several ox carts carrying grain parked in the courtyard:
"Brother, why did you buy so much food?"
"I am useful, brother. Have someone move it to the granary. I have something urgent to do."
Qiu Zhen didn't explain anything to his elder brother. After giving him a few instructions, he hurried towards his west wing.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was simple: Kun Daoyunrou from [Miro Palace] was looking for him and it seemed that she had something urgent to tell him.
Inside the room, Qiu Zhen closed the door, locked it with the wooden bolt, and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, while his spiritual consciousness probed into the [Miro Palace].
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you are finally here." Fairy Yunrou's telepathic voice came over:
"I didn't expect you to move so quickly. What a great Xuanmen Thunder Method! Thunder and fire burn the forest and destroy all the ghosts in an instant. Daoist friend, you have amazing magical powers."
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned.
Yesterday, he casually mentioned to Fairy Yunrou the matter of destroying the "Master Yanshan", but did not mention a single word about the specific details of the battle.
I never expected that the other party actually knew the inside story.
Good guy, Fairy Yunrou has someone in the Demon Suppression Division
Qiu Zhen had a vague understanding that Fairy Yun Rou's status in the secular world was probably not low. She must have been born in a noble and wealthy family and had considerable power, which was why she could easily get news from the government and the Demon Suppression Division.
"Fairy Yunrou is truly extremely powerful."
Kun Daoyun smiled but did not answer. She said:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, come to my Miro Palace for a chat. I will introduce you to a fellow Daoist."
As he finished speaking, a pulling force came from Miro Palace.
Qiu really understood what he meant, and his spirit left his body and sank into the jade talisman.
Not long after.
In the magnificent and brilliant Miro Palace, three figures appeared, each shrouded in mist and clouds, making it impossible to see their specific features.
However, features can be vaguely seen through the clouds.
A female Taoist wearing a Liuxian skirt, dignified and elegant, sat quietly on the cloud stool. Needless to say, it was Fairy Yunrou.
The other one was sitting cross-legged on the clouds, like an old monk in meditation.
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, this is the monk Zhenkong."
"Thank you for killing Master Yanshan and bringing peace to the people. If Kongyin knew about this, he would surely feel relieved."
The monk Zhenkong spoke in a steady voice, his words revealing happiness and relief that were difficult to conceal.
Qiu Zhen was slightly surprised and became interested:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenkong, Buddhism has always emphasized not killing, but fellow Daoist is different. You seem very happy to see me killing people."
"To kill karma is not to kill people."
Monk Zhenkong shook his head and said:
"As Buddhist disciples, we should have the heart of a bodhisattva and act with thunderbolts. Master Yanshan attacked the people wantonly. He has supernatural powers but no moral conduct. He has become a demon. Killing him is a great merit."
"Daoyou, what a profound insight!"
Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly. The great monk Zhenkong was very much to his taste. He was not the kind of monk who would study Buddhist scriptures and observe the precepts mechanically.
"You two have similar temperaments."
Seeing that the two of them got along well and were ready to discuss the matter, Kun Dao Yun Rou quickly spoke:
"You two can discuss this privately next time when you are free. I called you two today not to sit and discuss, but to discuss something with you."
Qiu Zhen and Zhenkong both looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Fairy Yunrou said calmly: "Something big happened in Yulong Mountain."
"Fairy Yunrou, are you talking about the beast tide in the mountains?"
Qiu Zhen immediately became interested. It was obvious that this "Fairy Yunrou" had an extraordinary background, so she must have important news.
"This is no ordinary beast tide in the mountains."
Fairy Yunrou shook her head and said slowly:
"It is a demonic disaster caused by the appearance of the immortals. Our Changle Mansion will be bustling from now on. I am afraid that countless immortal cultivators will gather here."
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
The monk shook his head and sighed:
"Great disasters, great suffering for all living beings, alas~"
Qiu Zhen was thoughtful after hearing this.
Fairy Yunrou's words were cryptic, but as a well-read man, he understood them immediately.
Cultivators of immortality can easily attract demons during their practice, and if they are not careful they can turn into monsters and evil spirits, causing disasters. Certain immortal creations can also bring about demonic disasters.
The so-called "immortal traces" are the true traces of immortals.
Once "immortal traces" appear, immortal opportunities will frequently appear, and what will naturally follow will be frequent "demon disasters".
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, are you practicing in Qingmu City?"
"good."
Qiu Zhen was a little surprised when Fairy Yunrou asked:
"Fairy, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Qingmu Town will have great fortune in the future."
Fairy Yunrou saw that Qiu Zhen was interested and started talking:
"It is said that the higher-ups are planning to expand Qingmu Castle and upgrade it to a county. Firstly, it will serve as an important line of defense for Changle Prefecture to resist disasters in the future, and secondly, it will be used to resettle the people after the beast disaster."
what!
When Qiu Zhen heard this, his expression changed.
He did not feel much when hearing about the "immortal miracles" and "demonic disasters" just now. After all, he had just entered the world of cultivation and had no intuitive feeling about this aspect.
However, when he heard that the imperial court was going to expand Aoki and upgrade it to a county, he could no longer sit still.
The expansion of Aoki will definitely open up wasteland to the wild.
Qiu Zhen's heart tightened.
The blessed land is in danger!
