Chapter 173: Meeting the Taoist Priest Again, Spiritual Reflection

Qingpingzi looked dazed, and for a moment he even thought he was hallucinating.

But it didn't.

Looking at that familiar face that looked even more handsome and steady, Qingpingzi said in an extremely complicated tone: "Gu Dan?!"

"It's not good to stay in the water. Come on, come up and talk."

Gu Dan greeted him very calmly, his voice even sounding a bit enthusiastic, "I've wanted to meet you four or five years ago, but I didn't expect to see you in a place like this. You've been wandering around Yuzhou for six or seven years, just for this place, right?"

After the stars fell from the sky at night, Qing Pingzi led many alchemists in Qingfeng Temple to rob some and then ran away, which made Emperor Zong Ming very angry. Not only did he burn the alchemists' books, but he also blanked out the family trees of the remaining alchemists in Qingfeng Temple.

After that, the news about the alchemist seemed to have completely disappeared. The alchemist, who had been favored for more than 20 years, disappeared like a bird or a beast, and never made any major moves again.

Apart from the occasional person claiming to have run into Qingpingzi in Yuzhou, there was not even the slightest movement.

Gu Dan originally thought that Qingpingzi was afraid of being punished by Emperor Zongming, but later Emperor Zongming was killed by Moqiu, and the new emperor took the throne. The order to kill the alchemist had long been meaningless - after all, the country was on the verge of collapse, so how could there be any extra time to find trouble with the alchemist?

However, the group of alchemists still did not make any movement.

On the day before he was about to come to Yuzhou, Lin Xiaoyi told him that some soldiers had seen Qingpingzi around the place where they were fighting with the White Lotus Sect!

Qing Pingzi had been wandering around Yuzhou for so long, probably for the inheritance of the White Lotus! But it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Not only did Gu Dan see the thing he had been looking for for so long in advance through two insiders, but they also bumped into each other by chance.

Qing Pingzi went ashore and took two young men who were about the same age as Xun Ke up with him. He said with emotion, "I didn't expect to see you here."

He looked around and saw the remaining few people. He only recognized one person, but it was enough to answer the doubts in his heart, "The White Lotus Saint is actually from the White Lotus Sect, no wonder."

"You don't even know what you're looking for?"

Gu Dan stared at an instrument in Qing Pingzi's hand - it should be an instrument, it looked a bit like a compass, the whole thing was only the size of an ordinary person's palm, and it was engraved with densely packed patterns, which were enough to make one's scalp tingle at a glance.

But what was even more bizarre was that a spiritual stone was inlaid beneath the compass-shaped instrument. The spiritual energy was being drawn in strands, and the needle on the instrument pointed straight to the location of the statue of the Mother of No Birth.

There is no doubt that this is an instrument that requires spiritual energy to activate, and it is the first time that Gu Dan has seen it.

Of course, the two people behind Qingpingzi were not ignored.

One was a young man who looked about the same age as Xun Ke, or even a little younger. He was wearing a loose Taoist robe and looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

The other one was a little older than Xun Ke. He wore a Taoist robe that fitted him well and looked very dignified. Although he was not very old, he looked like an immortal at first glance.

The strangest thing was that there was a turtle lying on top of his head. The turtle was only the size of a palm, and its shell was as dark as night with some bright spots on it, like stars dotted in the night sky. A pair of eyes slightly smaller than soybeans were staring at him, looking very spiritual.

The Qingmu Huasheng Jue was quietly running, and the breath of life transmitted from the little turtle was long and mellow, moderate and peaceful, not much worse than that of a master! "That's a long story."

Qingpingzi pointed the instrument in his hand at Gu Dan. Without seeing how he turned it, the pointer shook slightly and pointed at Gu Dan.

The next moment, a blood-red color bloomed on the compass-like instrument. The blood-red color flowed and finally turned into two words.

[Danger, run! ]

Qingpingzi's face immediately darkened.

I hit a wall! "Huh?"

Gu Danran noticed Qingpingzi's little move and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is this?"

"Xingluo magic weapon, a small thing that can recognize the breath of others."

Qingpingzi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became much more enthusiastic, "I never thought that after not seeing you for so many years, you have achieved so much."

"I'm afraid there are more than that. It just so happens that I have a lot of doubts in my heart, and I need a professional to answer them for me. I believe that you, who have coaxed Emperor Zong Ming for more than 20 years, will definitely have some very convincing words - but I have learned a lot from Ji Lao of the Dayue Palace."

Gu Dan's voice seemed quite calm. "If the numbers don't match, I'll beat you to death."

The words were so simple, so simple it was shocking.

Qing Pingzi's face darkened slightly, but he became enthusiastic in an instant, saying: "You and I have no grudges against each other. Although the pill caused you to be unconscious for several days, I swear to God that was not my intention, and I did not force you to swallow it. What's more, I gave you the inner breathing technique and the immortal cultivation method in the past. We are so predestined, why should we fight for life and death?"

"What you said makes sense, so it's not a dead end. Just keep telling the truth - and if you're lying, you'd better hope that I don't find out."

Gu Dan said this extremely forcefully.

He didn't want to play any more tricks with Qingpingzi, it would be better to put it directly and clearly, the strength of the Grand Master was the best reliance.

If Qingpingzi dared to continue his riddle-like rhetoric, Gu Dan wouldn't mind letting him be the first to see what kind of strength a grandmaster possessed.

"I have never spoken nonsense in my life."

Qing Pingzi said passionately: "I wonder what you want to ask, little friend. It is naturally a great honor to be able to answer the doubts of fellow Taoists. You and I are by no means hostile. If you have any confusion, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

Compared to the past when he always talked about Taoism and practiced cultivation, Qingpingzi's words were sincere and human at this time, and he no longer looked like a condescending master.

Gu Dan, who had only been able to listen to the other party's eloquent words and complaints at the beginning, has now become the real strong party.

This is one of the great powers of time! What was once unattainable will eventually be caught up.

"Don't be in a hurry to ask, don't be in a hurry to ask."

Gu Dan smiled, "Since you are here, I can't let you come here for nothing, right? Let's go inside the White Lotus Heritage and take a look around, then we can talk in detail."

"Um?"

Qing Pingzi looked puzzled. Would Gu Dan be so kind? "Let's go. Since you treat me with sincerity, I will not let you go in vain. You gave me the inner breath technique and cultivation method, so how could I reject you? It's a give and take."

Gu Dan made way for him and said, "The little ones, just stay outside. I'll go in with you."

Of course there was no reason to refuse. According to the instructions of the Xingluo magic weapon, there was absolutely no way he could defeat Gu Dan, especially in this kind of terrain, where there was no place to run.

From a heart perspective, it is best not to go against Gu Dan's intentions.

The two walked towards the passage.

"You two look very young. How did you come to a place like this? I'm Wang Mang. Let's chat."

Wang Mang, who stayed behind, chatted with the two people brought by Qingpingzi with great interest. The adults lied without blinking, but the little ones who had not grown up could not always speak without making any mistakes.

Since Qingpingzi brought these two people with him, he should have taught them by example.

While Gu Dan was asking Qingpingzi in the cave, he was chatting with the two little guys outside - if they didn't match up, someone would die!

There was no need for Gu Dan to ask for permission for this kind of thing, Wang Mang could accomplish it easily.

The young man in the baggy Taoist robe said calmly, "My name is Zhuang Sheng."

The older boy with the turtle on his head said, "My name is Zou Dan."

"This is Xun Ke, a disciple of Mozi, and this is my wife, the White Lotus Saint."

Wang Mang found a few stones and placed them on the ground, as if he was having a tea party. "Come on, come on, everyone sit down and chat. It's fate that we can meet in a place like this."

When you reach the end of the passage, the view suddenly opens up.

Gu Dan's eyes were fixed on Qingpingzi, all his thoughts were focused on him, trying to see clearly all his reactions.

When the scroll of waving a sword and retreating the sun appeared in front of Qing Pingzi, Qing Pingzi did not immerse himself in it. The Xingluo magic weapon in his hand emitted a layer of faint white light, which enveloped his body like running water and blocked out the Taoist aura that was enveloping him.

But Qingpingzi couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and blurted out: "Soul reflection?!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What is soul reflection?"

Gu Dan asked.

Qing Pingzi pointed to the scroll of "Waving the Spear to Repel the Sun" and said seriously, "This is a secret technique of the immortal way of inheritance. You have also practiced martial arts, so you should know the many difficulties you will face along the way. Our predecessors have already found solutions to these difficulties, but these solutions may not be able to be properly passed on.

This problem exists not only in the martial arts, but also in the immortal way. The Soul Reflection Diagram is designed to solve this problem. Once someone has seen it, it will be imprinted in their mind, and they can even understand 70% of the charm of it. In this way, it is like building a tall building on flat ground, without having to climb step by step from the details, saving a lot of time and effort. "

It sounds wonderful, but Gu Dan certainly doesn't think it's that simple. "So, there are only benefits?"

"Not really."

Qingpingzi continued, "Although the Soul Reflection Diagram is good, it is after all written and engraved forcibly on the human spirit. If the person viewing it is not determined enough, he may even get lost in it, immersed in the picture, and even think that he is the existence in the picture.

Even if they are quite compatible with each other, it is not suitable to observe too much. This kind of imprint will give people a heavy burden and they must be digested one by one.

But no matter what, the Soul Reflection Map is definitely not an ordinary thing! Even if it is the minimum requirement, it must be at least a Jindan-level strongman to be able to keep it. I see that this Soul Reflection Map is lifelike and vivid, without any sense of compulsion. I wonder what kind of terrifying existence deliberately left it here. "

Qingpingzi was amazed and made no effort to hide his familiarity with the way of immortals.

This attitude made Gu Dan quite satisfied, "Next place."

The two of them came to the picture of the ascending bright moon and blue lotus.

The surprise on Qingpingzi's face became even stronger, and he said excitedly: "This is even more amazing! This is a realm-breaking diagram reflected by the soul. It is equivalent to letting people watch a strong person break through the realm with their own eyes, and even be able to sense some of the essence of the Tao, which is of great benefit to future practice. This kind of reflection diagram will reduce one point every time you look at it. It is a real consumable!"

"Next one."

Gu Dan said calmly, but his eyes became sharper.

When Qingpingzi saw the scene of those beings destroying the world, he seemed to be frozen for a moment and couldn't say a word.

"What about this? It's neither a heritage item nor a method to break through the realm. What's the point of leaving it behind?" Gu Dan asked.

“It’s a warning.”

Qingpingzi's voice was a little dry, "Leaving these pictures to serve as a warning to future generations."

"Is it a warning that an unknown existence might destroy the world?"

Gu Dan looked puzzled, "Why would they destroy the world for no reason? Could it be that after achieving success in cultivation, they must kill something to add to the fun, so as to show that they are extraordinary? Even if the heavens are not merciful, it doesn't seem that simple for these people to destroy the world together."

Compared with the previous two pictures of waving sword to retreat the sun and bright moon and blue lotus ascending, the meaning contained in the remaining picture of soul reflection is the most important thing that deserves our attention.

Mortals can still think, “I don’t care what happens after I die,” but Gu Dan, as an immortal, has no way of handing over the future to future generations - he himself is the future.

When something is possible and the probability is not zero, a long enough period of time will make everything happen. And looking at the content in this picture, there are more than one or two people who are destroying the world, so you cannot afford to ignore it.

He didn't want to be crushed to death by someone while he was still alive and well!

"That's a long story."

Qingpingzi swallowed his saliva. As a martial arts master, he seemed a little guilty when facing a painting scroll.

"It doesn't matter, there's one last place."

Gu Dan pointed to the last place where he suffered a great loss, his face peaceful, "Look."

Qingpingzi looked in the direction of the sound.

The blood-red eye was staring at him.

【Don’t cultivate immortality!!!】

The four big characters seem like living things.

Qingpingzi felt as if he had been hit hard!

The spirit stone embedded in the Xingluo magic weapon in his hand shattered in an instant, and there was no way to stop it.

The face that originally had a somewhat sage-like appearance now clearly revealed a look of pain. Gu Dan focused his mind and kept a close eye on Qingpingzi's changes.

I saw something like starlight appearing on his body, fiercely clashing with the blood light on the spiritual level, and the look of pain also came from this.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Qingpingzi's Taoist robe, and he was sweating like rain.

The starlight continued to disappear, and perished together with the bloodlight. This thing was definitely not Qingpingzi's divine consciousness. He had not yet cultivated to this level! About half a quarter of an hour later, the starlight was extremely weak. The good news was that the bloodlight that invaded his divine consciousness had also been completely consumed.

Qingpingzi, a martial arts master, fell to the ground helplessly, his breath was weak, as if his blood and flesh had been drained out, and his face was as pale as paper.

"Spiritual brand!!!"
