Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 42 Ghost Old Legend

   "Well, you are a hundred-mile flying eagle! I have warned you not to go out for a walk at night. You are the father of five children. If something happens, how will the children and I live!"

   Knowing that Baili Feiying often went to the palace to listen to the wall at night, Mingying cursed regardless of her image, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Baili Flying Eagle coaxed but didn't care and said: "Old problem, I don't go out for a walk every few days, and listen to the foot of the wall, I feel weak. After Junior Sister Ling became congenital, I compared my foot strength with her. If you lose her, I can come and go freely in the Imperial Palace."

   "Master, look at his mouth!" Mingying cried and looked at Li Qing.

  Li Qing shook his head, Baili Flying Eagle's habit of listening to walls, he was powerless to change it.

  Twelve years ago, Baili Flying Eagle dared to rescue Ran Bing under the eyes of the king of Zhenbei, and he did not rarely break into the palace at night.

  If Baili Flying Eagle was really timid, he would not be able to achieve the prestige of a generation of heroes.

   "That's all."

  Li Qing sighed: "You have no spiritual root talent, and there is no hope of getting into it in this life. I will help you get through the last two strange tendons, and help you get into the top of the eight meridians, and have more self-protection skills."

  After sighing, and regardless of the reaction of the two, Li Qing pointed to Baili Feiying's dantian, and a stream of heat poured into Baili Feiying's body along with his finger force, opening up its last two meridians in an instant.

  Baili Flying Eagle was able to step into the peak of the eight veins.

  After the breakthrough, Baili Flying Eagle exclaimed: "Master, what kind of cultivation level are you? I have heard that a congenital master can at most help people get through the second vein of Ren and Du, but I have never heard of someone helping someone through the last two veins."

  Li Qing chuckled.

  So what if you can connect the eight veins, if you don't enter the immortal way, you are all ants.

  For a person with superior spiritual root talent, it is not easy to become innate in one day.

  After leaving the other courtyard for hundreds of miles, Li Qing went to the western mountain forest in the northern suburbs of the city to pay respects to Rong Ku and Ran Bing.

   In front of the two tombstones, there are traces of worship.

   Obviously, Ling Jiao went up to the north and made a special worship.

   "Farewell, fellow daoists."

  Li Qing poured a jug of wine in front of the grave, and left freely. He probably won't come here again in his next life.

   Stopped and stopped all the way, Li Qing walked back to the capital and came to the palace wall.

  Actually, he has nothing to do for the time being, all he needs to do is wait for the White Lotus Sect to explore Baiyue River and the ancient tomb of Lancang Mountain.

   Also, by the way, listen to the news of the Heavenly Granted Emperor's search for immortals.

  As for the fake spiritual root and immortal inheritance that Baili Feiying mentioned, although Li Qing has his heart in it, he has no intention of looking for it for the time being.

  Life is long, don't rush for a while, let alone the unknown places like Bingfeng Country, at least let the White Lotus Sect find out the truth first.

   Can't wave.

  If the inheritance is true and someone takes it, then it is not Li Qing's chance.

  One person fights for one life, he fights for a hundred lives.

   "You might as well walk in the cold palace."

   "It's been a long time since I saw the concubine dancing..."

  Li Qing jumped and fell into the palace wall.

  …

  Tianshu eight years, spring.

  Pear Garden.

  Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it is the season of animal mating.

  When the spring breeze came overnight, thousands of pear trees bloomed.

  Pear Garden is also the most beautiful time of the year.

  The little bees were busy picking honey from the pistils, and the maids also practiced a new music and dance under the pear tree.

  Slender figure and elegant skirt made many little eunuchs stop and linger.

  At a certain moment, the maid who led the dance suddenly stopped, pointed at a corner of the pear garden and frowned and said, "Sisters, was there an old **** watching us under that tree just now, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

   "You are dazzled, there is no old eunuch, there is no one at all." A court lady replied.

  The lead dancer maid shook her head: "Impossible, I clearly saw it, could the old **** be the legendary old ghost!"

  Ghost old words came out.

All the court ladies practicing dancing couldn't help shivering, and said in unison: "Sister Hua, don't talk nonsense, there is no ghost elder in Liyuan, they are all fake, Shangwujian has searched here for many times, there is no one, and there is no ghost old."

  Since three years ago, there has been a legend of an old ghost circulating in the Liyuan Lenggong area.

   It is said that a ghost old man appeared in the palace, dressed as an old eunuch, who is usually invisible, even if he stands in front of you, you can't see him.

  The old ghost is lustful, he likes to watch the maids dance, and even likes to watch the concubines dance. Sometimes, even the old ghost is seen in the harem bath.

   There are even rumors that Gui Lao lives in the cold palace.

  For a while, people in the harem panicked.

  Shang Wujian dispatched many times, and even the masters of the Ouchi investigated once, but there was no trace of Guilao in the end.

  Some people say that old ghost is just a ghost.

  The Internal Affairs Supervisor invited Buddhist and Taoist masters into the palace, but no trace was found.

   Fortunately, Gui Lao only lives in legends, and has never done anything bad. At least, he has never heard of any court lady or concubine being polluted by someone.

  Although Tianshoudi is a female emperor, he still has a lot of concubines in the harem, more than in previous years.

   "Maybe my eyesight is blurry, sisters continue to practice, the Queen will check in a few days."

  Following the lead dancer's speech, the old ghost's discussion stopped immediately.

  On one side, Li Qing, known as the three-year old ghost, has returned to the Leng Palace from the Liyuan, and he never forgets to complain: "The palace lady surnamed Hua is getting sharper and sharper. I just stood there for a while before I was discovered."

  Li Qing is naturally the so-called old ghost.

  Three years ago, he revisited the old place of Lenggong and found that the eunuchs he knew had changed a lot. Even Zheng Chun had died.

  Where is it not practice, the harem is safe, and there are dance music to watch and listen to.

  So he lived in the cold palace like a ghost, no one knew him, and he could not be found.

  Li Qing, who is on the third level of Qi refining, has improved the method of concealing Qi mechanism again, and has been able to freely retract and release his own Qi mechanism.

   This night.

  Li Qing finished his meditation and was about to fall asleep, but he saw Baili Flying Eagle sneaking into the cold palace and looking for Li Qing.

   "Master, there is news from Baiyuechuan. The Guardian of the White Lotus Sect is waiting for you outside the city."

   "Three years, finally there is good news, will it be the world of cultivating immortals?"

  Li Qing was overjoyed, and immediately followed Baili Flying Eagle out of the palace.

  Baili Flying Eagle is now a White Lotus envoy in the White Lotus Sect, because the White Lotus Sect has changed from evil to good, hiding in the dark, and he, a hero of the rivers and lakes, is also willing to join the White Lotus Sect.

  Usually, Baili Flying Eagle would pass on the news from generation to generation. He is good at lightness kung fu, so he can sneak into the palace to look for Li Qing at any time.

  The southern suburbs of the capital.

  A dark cave.

   "Meet the leader!" Protector Bailian welcomed Li Qing.

   "There is no need to be too polite, what is the specific situation of Baiyue Dachuan." Li Qing asked.

   "Teacher, please take a look first." Guardian Bailian unfolded the yellow box wrapped in a silk scarf. The box opened, revealing five diamond-shaped crystals like small stones.

  Li Qing was attracted by the rhombic spar at a glance. He is a Qi refining monk, and he can clearly feel the pure and abundant spiritual energy in the spar.

   "Could this be the spirit stone of the world of cultivating immortals!" Li Qing couldn't help saying.

  Guardian Bailian obviously didn't know what the spirit stones meant. He continued: "Three years ago, I found some ancient traces in the mountains, which were easy to find in the mountains. It took two years to find these five crystal stones from the river."

   "This spar is quite extraordinary, carry it with you, and it has the effect of eliminating fatigue."

  The diamond-shaped spar is brilliant, free from dirt, and extremely holy.

  Li Qing took the spar, put it in his mouth after a little thought, and circulated the Lotus Sutra.

  Pure spiritual energy emanates from the spar and is inhaled into the spiritual root.

  Li Qing finally determined that the rhombic spar is the spirit stone of the world of cultivating immortals.

  Although he doesn't know how to use the spirit stone, but the tongue has the root of the spirit, so putting the spirit stone in his mouth to absorb it is not bad.

   This spirit stone can absorb the spiritual energy in it in about half a day, which is better than a month of practice.

   That is to say, if he uses two spirit stones to practice daily for half a year and consumes 360 spirit stones, it will probably help him break through the fourth level of Qi refining.
