I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! - Chapter 67

[14. Dust Zen Master]

“Master, where are you taking me?”

The surrounding scenery galloped past, Tang Ruowei looked at Bai Qiuran who was pulling her arm in front, and asked aloud.

After receiving the letter from the head to him, Bai Qiuran ran down the mountain with a gloomy face, and only came back a few days later. Then he went to the main peak of Qingming to talk to the head and several elders, and then found it. I, without saying a word, pulled myself down the mountain.

Judging from the direction he was going, Bai Qiuran’s destination should be Qingzhou, which is adjacent to Guzhou.

“Where are you going?”

Bai Qiuran did not stop and looked forward.

“Take you to study…Aren’t you interested in those miscellaneous studies now?”

“Well… so you’re taking me to learn these things?”

Tang Ruowei asked:

“Aren’t you in a hurry these two days?”

“There is indeed an urgent matter, but this is also your chance. This time there is an expert who is really good at these miscellaneous subjects. You can learn from him and help by the way.”

Bai Qiuran replied:

“arrive.”

His footsteps slowed down, Tang Ruowei raised her head and found that there was a tall and majestic mountain range in front of her. At the top of the mountain range, there was a huge inward crater. Lava was constantly erupting from there, flowing down the foothills, and the top of the mountain erupted. The billowing smoke and dust covered the entire sky in dim clouds.

It is not only the lava that is dangerous, the smoke and dust from the volcanic eruption will also affect the respiratory system of mortals.

However, in front of this volcano, there is still a man-made spiraling mountain road. The stairs of the mountain road are all made of some kind of black metal, which can float on the lava without being melted. Bai Qiuran took Tang Ruowei up the stairs along this mountain road, passed the mountain gate engraved with the words “Tiantianwu”, and passed several flying bridges made of black metal, leading her all the way to a certain Built in a hut on a volcanic lava lake.

Perhaps it was notified in advance that an old man greeted him from the house. Bai Qiuran pointed at the man and introduced Tang Ruowei:

“This is Elder Xu from the Xuanfa Academy. He is proficient in surveying and mapping, formation, astronomical phenomena, earth pulse, and other miscellaneous subjects. He is a research expert in this field.”

Then he turned his head again and pointed at Tang Ruowei to introduce Elder Xu:

“Elder Xu, this is my foolish apprentice. Although the cultivation base is low and the figure is not good, there is still a bit of cleverness in your mind. You can use her as a great laborer these days, and you can take her with you when you have time. .”

Hearing this, Tang Ruowei also reacted, Bai Qiuran was looking for a professional tutor for her, and she was busy greeting this Elder Xu.

“Little girl Tang Ruowei, hello Elder Xu.”

“Good good.”

Elder Xu looked at her carelessly, and then said:

“I didn’t expect that Jianzu would accept apprentices… But it’s okay, Jianzu is kind to my Xuanfa Academy, and it happens that I need manpower to study and analyze the operation law of the ancient city, so you can come to me to start a fight. Jianzu, If it’s all right, I’ll go back to work first.”

He looked like a squeamish man, looking back frequently when talking to Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei, as if there was a beautiful woman hidden in his room. Perhaps for these technical houses of Xuanfa Academy, the desire to satisfy curiosity may be more than that.

Seeing him like this, Bai Qiuran couldn’t help but smile, and then said to Tang Ruowei:

“Just stay here for now. This incident is no trivial matter. You are not allowed to run around. You have to listen to Elder Xu’s arrangement, understand?”

“I understand.”

Seeing his expression, Tang Ruowei, who knew that the matter was not trivial, nodded honestly, and did not talk back to Bai Qiuran this time.

“Then I’ll leave first.”

Bai Qiuran said to Elder Xu:

“I’m interrupting your work, please go ahead.”

——————————————————

After leaving Tang Ruowei in Forging Tianwu to assist Elder Xu of Xuanfa Academy and others in their work, Bai Qiuran left without stopping to go to the territory of Nanling Kingdom in Qingzhou.

There was originally only one country in Qingzhou called Shangling Country, but it split when Bai Qiuran was more than 2,000 years old, forming four countries named Mausoleum in the southeast and northwest. Nanling Country is naturally at the southernmost tip of Qingzhou. There, Zen Master Wei Chen, the representative of Tiansheng Buddhism, was waiting for Bai Qiuran and the others to meet.

After the discussion that day, the major sects have reached a consensus. When each sect launched the intelligence network, they also sent people to notify the people of Tiansheng Buddhism. On the way, Zen Master Mo Chen and others also began to pay attention. The trace of the ancient city turned out to be a clue near Nanling Kingdom, so he sent a message that he stayed at the place where Nanling Kingdom found the trace, waiting for others to meet.

According to the message sent by Zen Master Weichen, Bai Qiuran ran all the way and came to the place he found.

It is a small mountain village by the river, and it is a certain distance from the nearby towns. Due to the wild beasts in the nearby mountains and forests, the villagers in the village do not like to move around on weekdays, and there is very little contact with the Nanling State government. Basically, the tax personnel of the city only come here every year when taxes are collected, so this time the ancient city appeared, and there was no immediate news about it.

Bai Qiuran came to the outside of the village and found that the village was deserted. Only the disciples of Tiansheng Buddhism were walking back and forth. These disciples who had been introducted for about a hundred years and who had not practiced enough have cut off their troubles and have not grown up. Huigen, wearing a monk’s robe, has a bare head, so it is quite recognizable.

The leader of the team, Zen Master Weichen, was meditating near the entrance of the village. When he sensed Bai Qiuran’s arrival, he got up and greeted him.

Although Zen Master Weichen has the title of Zen Master, he does not look like a monk who teaches Zen at all. He has a flat head with only a layer of light hair, and his face is full of flesh. The monk’s robe was tensed by his muscles.

This Zen master once had the Buddhist scriptures he learned and the idols of the Buddha imitated to be engraved on his body by tattoos. At this time, a wrathful image of King Ming showed his head from his arm. With the vicious demeanor of Chan Master Chen, he looked like a big brother in the underworld who had been in the world for many years.

“Hello Sword Master.”

Approaching Bai Qiuran, the social brother raised his hand and made a Buddha salute to Bai Qiuran with one hand.

“Long time no see, Mote.”

Bai Qiuran smiled at him:

“Just say hello, the situation is urgent, you don’t have to stick to these customs… What’s the situation here?”

“Yes.”

Zen Master Weichen nodded slightly to Bai Qiuran, as if he was saluting his elder brother. Hearing Bai Qiuran’s words, he walked towards the village with Bai Qiuran and said:

“It’s like this. On the way here, we followed the purpose of Buddhism and practiced all the way. We received a notice from you on the way, and then I heard that something strange happened here and there was heavy fog, so I brought my disciples over to take a look. On the way, I met a hunter who said that he saw a city appearing on the river here on the cliff. I came here with my disciples, and found that there was no one in the village here.”
