Buddha is the Tao

In a secret room of a side hall in Yuxu Palace, on the spotless white jade floor, there was a fiery red futon carved from red jade. A girl dressed as a Taoist priest with bright eyes, white teeth, delicate face, and beautiful beyond description was sitting on the futon, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, which was the standard posture for practicing Qi.

If Zhou Qing was here, he would definitely find that this girl was none other than Ling Ruoshui, whom he had rescued from Mitsui Taro and then tricked him once in Las Vegas.

At this time, smoke and clouds were lingering above Ling Ruoshui's head. The smoke and clouds were faintly five-colored, like lotus flowers, gathering and dispersing from time to time. Every half an hour, the five-colored smoke and clouds became thicker, and the colors became clearer and brighter. The spiritual energy around was gradually absorbed into Ling Ruoshui's body, turning into five-colored smoke and clouds, floating above her head. After an unknown period of time, the five-colored smoke and clouds finally solidified and stopped floating, and steadily formed three fist-sized, five-colored lotus flowers with five-colored light. Taking a long breath, the three lotuses slowly sank into Ling Ruoshui's head and disappeared.

Ling Ruoshui's whole body was flashing with subtle light, and the light in his eyes was even brighter, as if his gaze was real, which clearly showed that his power had greatly improved. Swish! With a delicate shout, Ling Ruoshui soared into the air, waved his hands, and five immortal auras, more than a foot long, teacup-thick green light pillars shot towards the white jade ground.

"You're making trouble again!" A green figure flashed, and an old Taoist wearing a green cloth Taoist robe, with a childlike face and smooth skin like a baby, appeared in the secret room for no reason. The old Taoist rubbed his hands together, and a breeze blew over, silently blowing on the five fierce light pillars, without any sound. The light pillars that seemed as hard as steel were blown away by the breeze, turning into dots of clear powder sprinkled on the white jade ground, and then disappeared again.

"This Yuxu Palace is the supreme immortal palace opened by my Kunlun ancestor Yuanshi Tianzun. In order to commemorate the supreme supernatural power of the ancestor, magic is not allowed in this Yuxu Palace. Have you forgotten it?" The old Taoist shouted at Ling Ruoshui.

"Master! Why are you so loud? You gave me a shock. I forgot it all of a sudden!" Ling Ruoshui fell to the ground and muttered to the old Taoist. This old Taoist is the current head of Kunlun. His Taoist name is Qianjizi. His cultivation is really unfathomable. He is known as the five great masters in the world together with Shushan Elder Lingxu Taoist, Maoshan Kaiyang Taoist, Longhushan Taoist Tianshi, and Tibetan Province * Living Buddha. It is said that Qianjizi's cultivation is firmly ranked first, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the immortal realm of practicing spirit and returning to the void.

However, although Qian Jizi's cultivation was profound, he was helpless with his disciple. He shook his head, and Qian Jizi's eyes, which were originally calm, suddenly shone with brilliance. He carefully looked at Ling Ruoshui, and then said happily: "Great! Your aptitude is really good. You have comprehended the first volume of Shangqing Zifu Xian Jue so quickly. Although the spiritual energy in Yuxu Palace is a hundred times thicker than outside, it is rare." Qian Jizi kept stroking his half-foot-long beard on his chin and nodded in admiration.

"Master, I don't have a flying sword yet. I want a flying sword like my brother. I see my brother is so cool when he flies with a sword!" Seeing the old Taoist Qian Jizi nodding there, Ling Ruoshui took the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Sword cultivation is a side path. Although it progresses quickly, it is also very lethal. If you are not careful, you will hurt others and yourself. Moreover, the foundation is very unstable. When you reach a high level, the chance of going astray is quite high. Back then, I passed on the Liulan Sword and the way of sword cultivation to your brother in order to achieve quick success. You don't need to learn it. People who cultivate the Tao pay attention to a peaceful state of mind. Why learn a Taoist method that is so murderous?" Qian Jizi was talking about reason, but looking at Ling Ruoshui's appearance, I'm afraid it went in from the left ear and out from the right ear.

"I don't care. I want to fly on the sword." Seeing that the blackmail failed, Ling Ruoshui immediately pestered Qian Jizi and acted like a spoiled child.

"Flying with a sword, even if you have a flying sword, you can't do it! Your current skill is only in the middle and late stages of Qi Induction, and you're still a little short of it. Besides, the Shangqing Zifu Xian Jue I taught you is the secret of Kunlun, and even your brother didn't pass it on to him. It's many times better than the way of sword cultivation, and the magic is also very exquisite. It contains the magic of shrinking the earth in "Phoenix Soars Thousand Miles, Hu Gong Shrinks the Earth". As long as you practice to a high level, a thousand miles of land will arrive in an instant, which is far better than the flying method of flying with a sword." Qian Jizi has long been immune to Ling Ruoshui's coquetry and is unmoved.

"Master! I don't need this flying sword, but you have to give me a powerful magic weapon for self-defense, right? This time I was ambushed by that little devil, and it's not because I don't have a treasure to defend myself." Ling Ruoshui rolled her eyes half a circle, and seeing that coquetry didn't work, she came up with another plan.

"That's true, but how did you escape? Although the Japanese's magic is not up to par, there are also powerful people. You said that person saved you, who was it? Why don't you tell me clearly? From what sect he belongs to, I guess he is not an ordinary person! Go and thank him tomorrow." Qian Jizi was confused when he heard Ling Ruoshui say this.

When Ling Ruoshui mentioned this, Zhou Qing hated him so much that he almost exploded when he heard Qian Jizi wanted him to thank him himself. But it was not easy to get angry in front of Qian Jizi, so he said angrily: "Well, I will go and 'thank' that person after I get down the mountain!"

"By the way, Master, do you know that there is a Tiandao Sect in our cultivation sect?" Ling Ruoshui suddenly remembered that he went up the mountain to ask the master to teach the immortal method, just to find trouble with Zhou Qing after his power increased greatly, but now he remembered that he didn't know who Zhou Qing was. He vaguely remembered that Zhou Qing seemed to say that he was the leader of the Tiandao Sect, and he didn't know what kind of sect the Tiandao Sect was, and where the mountain gate was? So he asked Qian Jizi.

Who knew that the Tiandao Sect was originally made up by Zhou Qing himself, and it had not yet spread in the cultivation world. Although Qian Jizi was knowledgeable and knew a lot about Taoist immortal arts, Buddhist secrets, demons, magic skills and even Western magic, he was also confused about the Tiandao Sect.

"I've never heard of such a sect! There are only the Five Elements Sect, the Pure Yang Sect, the Yin Fu Sect, and the Qimen Dunjia Sect! How could there be a Tiandao Sect in the cultivation world?" The old Taoist muttered to himself, not at all like a master of his generation.

Ling Ruoshui saw Taoist Qianji mumbling there, and suddenly remembered some clues and asked: "Then Master! Is there any sect that is particularly good at formations, such as the Five Elements Maze Formation!" Taoist Qianji was stunned: "A sect that is good at formations? The formation is to use the great power of heaven and earth to act, and does not pay much attention to one's own cultivation. Therefore, the sects that focus on formations have long declined. Now the sect that is good at formations is the Qimen Dunjia Sect. Could it be that they saved you? But from your tone, you sound like a young man. Although the Qimen Dunjia Sect is mysterious in the cultivation world, I, the master, have contacts with several elders and sect masters in it. They are all old men, and there are no young people! This Five Elements Maze Formation is not a big formation. Many people in the cultivation world know it. It must be a young master from a Taoist sect."
