Myriad Paths

Li Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this name.

Luofu Mountain...

Of course he knew that Luofu Mountain was one of the gates of ghosts.

The Five Directions Ghost Sect, and the Five Directions Ghost Emperor.

Brothers Shen Tu and Yulei, the Eastern Ghost Emperor, govern Dushuo Mountain.

The Ghost Emperor of the North governs Luofeng Mountain.

The Central Ghost Emperor governs Baodu Mountain.

The Ghost Emperor of the West governs Jizhong Mountain.

And...the Southern Ghost Emperor governs Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain originally had only one mountain, called Luoshan.

Suddenly one day, a flying peak floated from the direction of the East China Sea, which was said to be the "immortal floating peak".

So, a floating flying peak, plus the original Luoshan, were combined to form the Luofu Mountain. There are fifteen ridges, twenty-two peaks, nine hundred and eighty waterfalls and springs, and caves like no other in the mountain. There was a poem that said:

"More than four hundred cliffs line the sea, and even the rooftops are covered with peng islands.

If Bai Ling is moved to the middle earth, Songhua is just a small pile. "

This poem explains the origin, and the famous mountain annals say: "The veins of Luoshan come from Dayu; Fushan is one of the islands of the fairy mountains, coming from the sea and joining Luoshan, so it is called Luofu."

As one of the ten major caves of Taoism, it has a submersible connection and a Fenshui Islet above it, which is called a blessed place of springs and springs. The source of heaven and earth is strong in it. If you practice in it, you will travel thousands of miles a day.

There are also many great masters who came from Luofu Mountain. The famous Taoist master 'Baopuzi' is the practitioner and founder of Luofu Mountain. He is good at refining alchemy and writing books. His alchemy furnace is the Sun and Moon True Lead. tripod.

This person deduces the way to ascension, the principles of guidance, and the yellow and white matters. He wrote thirty volumes, twenty of which were called "Inner Pian" and ten volumes were called "Outer Pian". He called himself Baopuzi. Because he used the book of destiny, he named it "Baopuzi". It is a very famous Taoist classic. , but is now missing.

At the same time, this is also... the hometown of rabbits.

Li Qi and two others put away the ghost car and landed here.

This is the outskirts of Luofu Mountain. From here, you can clearly see the beauty of this Taomen cave.

There are twenty-two jagged green peaks, there are many trees in the cold mist, the celestial temple is far away with clouds, and the rock radish touches the ground and forms a shadow.

Deep in the white clouds, it seems that you can still see overlapping green moss patches all over the courtyard.

In the sky, you can see a Feilai Peak that spans five hundred miles and covers the sky. Feilai Peak hangs above the sky. It is an inverted mountain, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom.

At the pointed end, like a reflection on the water, there is a similar mountain top below, but it is just a normal mountain peak, corresponding to the floating mountain in the sky.

This is the complete Luofu Mountain. Between the two mountains, it looks like a reflection in the lake, or like yin and yang fish taking care of each other, forming such a wonderful scene.

Shen Shuibi stood here, looking at the overlapping Luoshan and Fushan mountains, where the yin and yang were in harmony, and she felt a little lost for a moment.

Li Qi didn't bother her. Lao Ma naturally understood the atmosphere and turned into a hand-sized hand, wrapping it around Li Qi's wrist.

However, Shen Shuibi was not absent for too long. She woke up soon, shook her head slightly and said: "Below is Mount Luo, which contains blessed land. Above is Mount Fu, which contains spiritual springs. The peaks of the two peaks touch. It is Zhuming Cave, which is the top ten caves. Under Luofu Mountain, it is where the Ghost Gate is. You may not know his name, the Southern Ghost Emperor. His name is Du Ziren, and we came out of his Ghost Gate. "

"So, the ghost gates are actually connected to each other?" Li Qi asked.

"It can be said to be interconnected. After all, they are all connected to the underworld, but it is not without distance. It still takes a while to travel, but the distance is much closer than traveling directly from the world." Shen Shuibi replied.

Then, she looked at Luofu Mountain in the distance and suddenly said: "Li Qi, how about we delay a few hours and go in for a look?"

Li Qi put his hand on her shoulder and said: "How about what? Go in and see what the big deal is. I will accompany you wherever you want to go. How about we go in directly?"

"Shall we go in directly? However, there is no need to move forward cautiously. Lao Ma, you should have the power of a demon dragon now and be able to drive away some ghosts and demons. This way... it will be more comfortable to watch on the way." Shen Shuibi said so. Lao Ma said.

The old horse's body suddenly grew larger, from the size of a leaf to ten feet long, enough to carry two people.

Li Qi didn't hesitate, holding Shen Shuibi's hand and riding on the old horse.

But I saw the old horse's body curled up and ejected directly to start! Rush forward with the force of wind and thunder!

The speed was actually several times faster than before, even faster than Li Qi's cruising speed.

Sure enough, a professional is a professional. Li Qi may be able to surpass Lao Ma in the limit speed in a short period of time, but his cruising speed for a long time is still far behind Lao Ma.

On Lao Ma's side, he was advancing rapidly, passing through the many branch mountains of Luofu Mountain.

In these fairy mountain spiritual veins, there are usually many Taoist practitioners living here, refining elixirs and cultivating Taoism, and studying things about yellow and white ascension. It is the same now. It seems that... the collapse of Luofu Mountain did not have much impact on them. .

In other words, even if the original group of people died, many Taoist practitioners have come over one after another over the years and continue to occupy these branches.

After all, it is a branch of Luofu Mountain. The source of heaven and earth is abundant, and the breathing of spiritual energy is more efficient. If it can be contaminated by the blessed land spiritual spring falling from Luofu Mountain, it will be a great opportunity.

Li Qi rode the demon dragon through the sky above the spiritual veins of these fairy mountains, and occasionally he could feel the gazes. It seemed that the people below were not hostile to the visitors.

Yes, this is the territory of Luofu Mountain. How can they be hostile?

Riding on the old horse, looking at the many alchemy furnaces below, as well as exercises, chopping wood, carrying water, and rows of practitioners practicing swordsmanship and boxing, Li Qi felt in a trance that this place was full of vitality. Thriving.

However, looking at Shen Shuibi's expression, Li Qicai realized that compared with Luofu Mountain's heyday, these things outside were just weeds.

Just like a royal palace, when it is truly prosperous, it is in order and the majesty of the palace is as dignified as the sun, and no one dares to look up at it.

Now, there are just some weeds growing among the ruins of the palace.

Although it can still be regarded as 'vital', compared with the solemn scene of Luofu Mountain in the past...

Forget it, there's no point in saying that.

Li Qi and others continued to fly forward, flying for more than three hundred miles.

From here, we begin to enter the former gate of Luofu Mountain.

If you had come here a few decades ago, you would have stopped here. At that time, the Tianmen of Luofu Mountain was still in operation, and the inside and outside were directly separated by magic. If you want to enter, you must visit from the heavenly ladder.

But now there are no such restrictions, so you can easily see the place inside. All the weird and wonderful things that were previously inaccessible can now be browsed at will.

As Shen Shuibi flew, she pointed at the scenery below and introduced those peaks to Li Qi as if nothing had happened.

Feiyun Peak, Yue Peak, Magu Peak, Huizhen Peak, Huixian Peak, Jinxiu Peak, Tortoiseshell Peak...

Then, he began to identify the caves one by one.

Yele Cave, Shixue Cave, Huangdonglong, Zhuling Cave, Huangyuan Cave, Butterfly Cave, and the most famous Zhuming Cave are all kinds of natural wonders, which are particularly outstanding.

The orioles in the forbidden forest sing, the butterflies fly wildly, the dawn flowers hold the dew, and the wind carries the fragrance of flowers.

The rosy clothes on the stone wall are still half-hanging, and the pines are as long as the wind is playing the harp. At that time, I heard a crane rising from the top of the mountain.

The waves of Cave Lake are clear and the sky is clear, and the green hills are condensed with smoke. The true state here belongs to the gods.

Li Qi looked around. It was indeed near one of the top ten caves of Taoism. He could feel his cultivation level improving even with his breathing, even comparable to the outer areas of Wushen Mountain.

It is not the outer area of ​​Wu Dao, but the outer area of ​​Wushen Mountain, the sacred mountain that truly stands in the world.

"Ah, there are some treasures over there that we probably didn't have time to collect. Lao Ma, let's go down and have a look." At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly pointed downward and said.

"Treasure?" Li Qi looked in the direction Shen Shuibi pointed.

The old horse was very fast. As soon as Li Qi's eyes reached him, he had already landed and landed in the mountain stream below.

In the mountain stream, two spiritual grasses swayed.

The spiritual grass is shaped like a small mulberry, three or four feet long, with branches and leaves all red, and the branches and leaves are like pods. It seems that there is some kind of power that goes round and round.

Shen Shuibi squatted down, reached out and started picking. While picking, he said: "This thing is called Zhucao. It has juice like blood and can be dyed crimson. If gold and silver are poured into the juice, it can be ground into a round shape with a stone." The mud turns into water and becomes golden syrup and jade wine. Drinking it will prolong your life and your life span will be five hundred."

Her technique was very neat, and it could be seen that this was not the first time she had done this kind of thing. The dexterity of her fingers surprised Li Qidu. It turns out that this is what a rabbit looks like when collecting herbs.

However, Rabbit didn't seem to notice Li Qi's gaze, but continued to look at another spiritual grass next to him and said, "The one next to you is the Resurrection Grass, also known as Earth gall. Its leaves are like mustard, its flowers are like ground tea, and it has clams." If you crush it and wipe it, it can bring you back to life. This is a magical herb unique to the ghost gate. It is very useful. "

"However, it is said that it is brought back to life. In fact, it is just a temporary revival of the soul. If the soul has become a ghost, or the body has been broken, it will not survive. However, it is an excellent calming medicine when used to make medicine. It can stabilize the Yinshen and prevent them from drifting too far."

Li Qilue was familiar with herbal medicines, but only on paper. He was very familiar with various processing methods and picking techniques. Unfortunately, he had never used them. It would most likely break at the first touch, so he did not do it. Instead, he watched Shen Shuibi pick the herbs.

The Jade Rabbit makes medicine, is it so cute?

After a few minutes, Shen Shuibi collected the two spiritual herbs, packed them up, then stood up, clapped his hands, and knocked the dust away.

After the Imperial Liquid Serum repaired her body, and her cultivation over the past few years, her dirt-free body had almost recovered, so the dust just floated on the surface and would fall off naturally after being patted.

"What are you collecting these for? They are all seventh-grade spiritual herbs. It shouldn't be difficult to buy them." Li Qi walked forward and asked.

Shen Shui gave him a white look: "You are talking nonsense. Now that Luofu Mountain is being rebuilt, everything is in ruins. It is a time when we are short of money. You don't want anything you pick up for free on the roadside. Do you really think you are very rich?"

Li Qi was stunned when he heard this and couldn't say anything.

"Now that I'm back here, although I'm sad, I can't tell the situation clearly. There are still many places to spend money now, so why not take this opportunity to pick up more of these things? I'm going to go to the mountain gate in a while. See how many treasures are left and take them back together," Shen Shuibi said.

Li Qi was speechless. He thought that Shen Shuibi came here because he was homesick and wanted to see the place where he grew up. He didn't expect that her thoughts were so practical and she was actually planning to search out the last bit of her family's wealth...

However, it is appropriate.

What's the use of staying here? It's better to take them all back, which can relieve the lovesickness of everyone in Luofu Mountain. If you pick up some with commemorative value, you can also take them back to the mountain gate for safekeeping, which is worse than leaving them here.

Thinking of this, Li Qi also nodded and said, "As it should be, let's look around to see what else is left in the mountain and take it back with us."

"Okay, let's split up?" Shen Shuibi suggested.

Li Qize began to make plans habitually: "Well, the three of us will search three directions separately, with due north and southeast as the boundaries. You go to the north, I will go to the southeast, and the rest of the place belongs to Lao Ma. He runs fast, and the center Let’s not touch the area for the time being. I see a faint golden light rising over there, and I think there is something ominous. After we have sorted out everything outside, we can work together to go inside.”

"Lao Ma and I can't deal with things like spiritual grass, so we just mark it for you. The spiritual grass marked with Yin Qi is left for you." Li Qi arranged the action.

Shen Shuibi and Lao Ma naturally had no problem. After understanding how to divide the work, the two of them quickly separated and started to patrol the Luofu Mountain area.

They did not cover up their whereabouts along the way, especially Lao Ma. In order to drive away the ghosts and demons around him, he even more carelessly exuded his dragon aura.

Li Qi is now at the sixth level, and Shen Shuibi is at the fifth level. Although they did not deliberately release pressure during their actions, they followed the rules with their actions. This is the effect of the manifestation of the small world. This has no effect, but it will bring special effects. temperament, so nothing would attack them blindly.

However, to outsiders, this looting scene looked particularly like a robber.

...In fact, they are no different from bandits. They scraped three feet of the ground and took away all kinds of spiritual herbs, sacred gold mines, relics, magic weapons, charms, and even talismans.

Shen Shuibi controlled the silk threads formed by Qi, and gracefully passed through the sky, but she did not miss a single thing, everything was tied up by the silk threads and taken away.

Li Qize followed Wu Jin's approach. He directly raised his foot and called out the local mountain spirits and wild monsters, asking them to help search the mountain, and then gave them skills afterward.

So, the spirits all over the mountains and plains went to run errands for Li Qi.

Only Lao Ma is an ox-horse. He can neither control mountain spirits nor wild monsters, nor is he as sharp-eyed and quick-handed as Shen Shuibi, so he can only run faster.

However, while they were searching the mountain, among the Taoist temples outside Luofu Mountain——

This Taoist temple is very cold. There is only one old Taoist priest, two young Taoist priests, three rooms and one hall, surrounded by a circle, and there are no special decorations.

The old Taoist among them muttered something, looked up at the sky, and then looked into Luofu Mountain, with a worried look on his face: "Hey, Luofu Mountain usually treats people well, why are there still people digging their graves after Ascension disappeared?"

(Just a dozen monthly passes short...)
