Buddha is the Tao

Jilei Mountain is more than 900,000 miles in radius, and is surrounded by mountains, where many spiritual medicines grow. There is a Yaowang Mountain next to Jilei Mountain, which has a territory of 10,000 miles in radius, which is about the same size as Black Wind Mountain. There are countless natural treasures. Although it belongs to the Jade-faced Goddess who lives on Jilei Mountain, she does not prohibit people from taking them. As long as they are not sent by a sect, individual monks, or monsters and spirits go to take them, the boy who looks after the medicine will not manage it.

Last time, the Shushan Sword Sect in Cangmang Mountain sent out thousands of disciples to collect the medicines from Yaowang Mountain, and beat up the boy guarding the mountain, which caused the whole thing, and the powerful Bull Demon King blew the mountain gate into the sea with a banana fan.

No matter how small Yaowang Mountain is, it has a radius of more than 10,000 miles. A single cultivator can never collect all the herbs. Moreover, some cultivators know that those who go to Yaowang Mountain are to refine elixirs. Tea is just a small flavor, so they can't collect much at all, which is harmless.

Zhou Qing has been in the earthly immortal world for some time, and gradually integrated into the environment. He also learned a lot of news. The situation of the three major states of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, and Beilujuzhou is only a vague concept, but the situation of Nanzhanbuzhou is known in detail from Ao Luan. This trip to Jilei Mountain is to see the situation, and to collect some herbs for refining elixirs to help his disciples improve their strength.

Yun Zhongzi left a gourd of pills, just five or six pills, Zhou Qing has almost used them up now. The herbs in the human world can only be used to refine some foundation-building pills. In the middle and late stages of returning to the void, they are not very useful. Zhou Qing deeply feels that he is alone. The strongest one now is Lan Shen, but he has only recovered his original strength. He is far inferior to the poisonous dragon. Not to mention the several disciples. They are still okay in the human world, but in this world, I am afraid that any demon king will kill them in one go. To refine a furnace of pills, go against the will of heaven, and help them pass the heavenly tribulation, at least they must have the strength of the God of Dry Bones. Zhou Qing was confident and bold to let them come to the earthly immortal world.

Borrowing the poisonous dragon's seven treasures wonderful tree is to pacify the Black Wind Mountain as soon as possible, establish his own territory, and then slowly erode the mountains of the two worlds to establish power, and also be a hegemon. What's more, Zhou Qing's identity is still the Gou Chen Emperor among the four emperors of the heaven. Although it is a virtual title, it will naturally be of great use at certain times.

"This outfit is too eye-catching!" Zhou Qing looked at his Golden Crow robe, which was really eye-catching. "I'm going to Jilei Mountain to collect herbs and see the situation. It's not without fighting. I'd better not dress too arrogantly. What if some demon king doesn't like me? I'll be besieged by millions of demon soldiers and I'll be skinned alive!"

Zhou Qing was leisurely and not in a hurry to get on the road. He used earth escape to walk in the mountains, looking for spiritual herbs planted by cultivators in the places where spiritual energy gathered and on the cliffs in the valleys. He picked them up and harvested them. The harvest was quite rich. The spiritual herbs in the earthly immortal world were not of the same level as those in the human world. The same Ganoderma lucidum was ten times stronger, smooth and round, with purple light flowing, and the fragrance spread several miles away.

On a cliff in a mountain stream, Zhou Qing hid his tracks and entered his Jiezi space. He changed into a Taoist robe, wore a green gauze scarf on his head, two belts with floating leaves behind his head, and carried a bamboo stick. He was completely a Taoist who lived in seclusion in the mountains. Compared with the past, he was less domineering.

In the Jiezi space, Zhou Qing mostly had Taoist classics. The best magic weapons he had snatched from the Taoist sect in the human world were given to Yunxia, ​​and the rest were given to several disciples, who were asked to choose excellent and loyal disciples to give them. Now Zhou Qing's magic weapons, in addition to the six Dutian flags, are a bamboo stick in his hand, the seven treasures tree lent to the poisonous dragon, and a nine-toothed rake. Although this rake is not an ordinary item, it is not very powerful. It seems that the owner has used the soul to sacrifice it. If Zhou Qing wants to break the restriction by force, he must refine a trace of the soul, which will inevitably be sensed by the owner of the rake, causing some trouble. Zhou Qing can't do anything but put it aside.

After a day of hiding and stopping, he finally arrived at the southeast of Nanzhanbuzhou. The mountains in front of him were continuous and majestic, with many huge peaks thousands of feet high. He couldn't see the top when he looked up, as if he was connected to the heaven. There were deep springs and mountain streams, pine and bamboo forests, birds singing and flowers blooming, which were no different from the miasma and bad water of Black Wind Mountain. Zhou Qing climbed the halfway up a high peak and saw clouds and mist from afar. The air was fresh, the ancient trees were lush, the stone platforms were lined up, and the green jade was green. There were mountains and stone steps carved out. There were Taoist temples with green walls and glazed tiles between the mountains and bamboos. From a distance, it was like a small dot. There was a faint sound of jade bricks coming from it. I didn't know which Taoist sect it was.

On the other sides, there were also stone caves and mountain streams. Looking further away, the mountains were like a sea of ​​clouds, layer by layer, piece by piece, and it was hard to tell whether the mountains were in the clouds or the clouds were in the mountains.

"What a big place." When Zhou Qing arrived at the mountains in the southeast, he realized that it was even bigger than he had imagined. The Medicine King next to Jilei Mountain was not easy to find. Zhou Qing only knew the approximate location, and he had to find the specific address by himself. There were almost a million miles of mountains, and it would be a lot of trouble to find them one by one. However, there were many people in the mountains. From time to time, there were lights passing through in the distance, which were obviously people who practiced Taoism, or monsters.

Rushing up, Zhou Qing intercepted a black and gray demon light and shouted: "Daoyou, please stay, I have something to ask you!"

The demon light appeared, but it was a sturdy man, ten feet tall, with a seven-foot-long striped chain sword on his back, which was purple and gold intersecting, and was also a magic weapon. Zhou Qing had a profound cultivation, and vaguely saw that the sturdy man's Nigong pill was floating with a small golden leopard, and knew that this guy was a leopard demon.

Seeing Zhou Qing bowing and greeting, the leopard demon stopped and returned the greeting, saying, "Master, what do you want to ask?"

"This demon is quite knowledgeable about etiquette!" Zhou Qing was surprised, but he didn't say much nonsense: "I'm still short of a few medicinal herbs for alchemy. I heard that Yaowang Mountain has them. But this is my first time here, and I don't know the way. I dare to ask you if you can give me some advice."

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome. Go east from here, and you can see Yaowang Mountain after passing 800 mountains. Yaowang Mountain is full of magical herbs and is easy to identify." The leopard demon said hurriedly, said a few polite words, and said goodbye in a hurry.

"Some monsters are extremely vicious, cunning and deceitful, some monsters are pedantic and kind, and reasonable, some Taoists are cunning and cruel, and some Taoists are devoted to seeking the truth, pure and inaction. Humans and monsters are on the same path, but it is difficult to distinguish them. There is evil in good and good in evil. When mixed together, it is also a mess." Zhou Qing got the direction pointed out by the leopard demon and flew away.

In less than half an hour, he turned around eight hundred hills and suddenly saw a mountain. It was not very high, about two or three hundred feet high, like a cow's back, with flat land and ridges, no sharp peaks, and magnificent terrain. There were countless precious lights and auspicious air hidden in the mountain caves, which only rushed up to the sky for half a day and then fell down, and they did not disperse.

Zhou Qing leaned on his bamboo stick and looked carefully. There were boys and girls holding flower baskets in groups of three or two, and a few Taoists like him, some of whom took gourds to pack medicine, and some took bamboo baskets to collect herbs. The whole mountain was full of magical herbs. On the stone wall of the mountain stream, there was also a one-horned python guarding the nine-leaf orchid fruit.

"Get out!" Zhou Qing sighed as he lowered his head. A few Taoists or spirits who were collecting herbs saw Zhou Qing fall from afar, but they were not surprised, nor did they come to say hello. They were all doing their own things, which made Zhou Qing feel very strange.

"You Taoist, this Yaowang Mountain belongs to the owner of my Jilei Mountain. You can pick herbs, but you must not hurt the spirit beasts guarding the herbs. The ones guarded by spirit beasts are mostly rare species. You should not pick them all, but leave some roots for you to pick again in the future. This is called a trickle of water." A girl guarding the mountain was collecting the fairy dew of flowers with a jade bottle. When she saw the clouds falling, she saw another cultivator. She didn't know what to do. Seeing that the person was unfamiliar, she quickly flew forward and told him some precautions.

"I know this!" When Zhou Qing came to the monster's nest, he was secretly shocked. Those who came to pick herbs were all kind people. Although there were a few Taoists transformed by monsters, they all had some Taoist spirit, and their demonic spirit was clear and bright, without many karmas. They were obviously kind monsters who practiced hard and did not kill living beings.

But along the way, there were eight hundred mountaintops and tens of thousands of stone caves, all with demonic energy swirling straight up, almost rushing to the heavens. The mountains were filled with murderous auras. In several places, it was obvious that demon kings were leading people to practice martial arts and formations. There were no less than a thousand demon king generals like the poisonous dragon, and the small demon soldiers, with bright armor and talismans, flickering and dimming, were no less than the armor Zhou Qing borrowed from the Dragon Palace. There were so many small demons that Zhou Qing had come all the way, and there were hundreds of thousands of them. In the distant mountains, there were also shouts of killing, but Zhou Qing did not dare to go to see them. He thought there were no less than a million of them.

"My goodness, it is the soldiers who have entered the bandit's den. Although I am now the Emperor Gou Chen, and nominally the demons of the three realms are under my control, the dragon girl Ao Luan said it well, many parties are dissatisfied, and they must lose my face, especially the Bull Demon King in Ji Lei Mountain, who has great means. Although he does not prohibit Taoists from coming and going, if he knows my identity, I am afraid it will be a bit inappropriate." Zhou Qing thought in his heart that going to the Eye of the North Sea in the human world to get the Zhuxian formation map is also related to Ji Lei Mountain. The banana fan also came from Ji Lei Mountain. It is natural for Zhou Qing to come to see the truth in his incarnation.

Behind Yaowang Mountain is an even taller mountain. On the mountain, there are jade steps, and there are countless railings and pavilions with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, which surround the mountain for several circles. You can vaguely see some maids and servants interspersed in between, carrying some gold and silver fruit plates and other objects, floating down, picking some fairy fruits and other things in Yaowang Mountain. This is the main peak of Jilei Mountain, the location of Moyun Cave. Around Moyun Cave, there are fairy birds holding fairy grass on the left, and spirit beasts fighting on the right. It doesn't look like the residence of the demon king, but rather like the spiritual platform of a Taoist immortal.

This mountain is too tall, bordering the sky. Looking down at the surrounding mountains, it is like a crane standing out among chickens, a unique one. Behind it are continuous mountains and rivers, with demonic auras everywhere. Countless demon generals lead demon soldiers to train. There is an area of ​​more than 900,000 miles. I don't know how many demon soldiers and demon generals are stationed. As expected, he has established himself as a king and is not afraid of even the Heavenly Palace.

"I don't know how long it will take for such a force to develop. Forget it, forget it. I have learned a lot today. Now that I have come to the center of the monster's nest, I'd better leave early to avoid more trouble." Zhou Qing did not greet some of the surrounding spirits and Taoists, fearing that his identity would be exposed and others would be suspicious. Even these boys and girls are returning to the void cultivators, which shows the strength of Jilei Mountain.

Zhou Qing just searched for valleys and hills, cliffs and steep cliffs, and collected a lot of spiritual medicines, and then prepared to return. Yaowang Mountain is well-deserved. There are thousands of spiritual medicines. Zhou Qing does not need a lot, just enough to refine a furnace of elixirs. According to the secret method, he can improve the cultivation of several of his disciples, but he does not need many spiritual pills.

Zhou Qing also gradually sorted out some clues about the cultivation method. At least before he can cultivate to the heavenly immortal level, he can practice boldly.

Two auspicious clouds appeared on his feet. Zhou Qing was in the air, walking slowly, one to observe secretly, and the other to avoid the demon king in the mountain from seeing him if he flew too fast.

Zhou Qing took off, but before he left Yaowang Mountain, he heard a cannon shot from the Namoyun Cave, and a group of maids and servants knelt on the ground in a hurry. Zhou Qing didn't know what was going on in the air. He looked back and saw a black and a red figure pulling and tugging, and the clouds were coming towards him.

Zhou Qing was about to avoid it, but he heard a thick voice shouting at him: "The Taoist in front, please stay, the Taoist in front, please stay." Although the two people were on clouds, they were very fast, and they were not far away before Zhou Qing could see them clearly.

"Both of them are masters."

Zhou Qing was wondering why he was unlucky today. The two of them were pulling and tugging to a distance. Zhou Qing could see clearly that one of them was a burly man wearing a red cape with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it. He was wearing a silver armor inside. It was neither silver nor iron. He didn't know what it was made of. Although he was dressed very arrogantly, his aura was not revealed. Zhou Qing couldn't tell his cultivation level for a while.

This one had a dignified appearance, and his appearance was like a god in heaven, but he had the majesty of an emperor in the bones.

The other one was not so flattering. He had a long mouth and big ears, a black steel-hard mane, and a big belly, like a pregnant woman. He was clearly a pig demon.

The clothes on the pig demon were very bright, but they looked a little ugly with his figure, like a nouveau riche. The pig demon pulled the cloak of the mighty man and cursed. It was also the pig demon who asked Zhou Qing to stay.

"Bad luck!" Zhou Qing sighed in his heart. The cultivation of these two people was really unfathomable. Zhou Qing couldn't see through them, but the one who came out of Jilei Mountain was probably a powerful demon king. Zhou Qing could immediately judge that the one wearing the golden dragon cloak was probably the Bull Demon King, the master of Jilei Mountain.

"Taoist, Taoist! Please judge. This guy borrowed my weapon and should have returned it half a year ago. I came twice, but this guy kept shirking. Is it because my Monkey Brother is not here that you bully me, the old pig?" The pig demon came to Zhou Qing, spitting and yelling.

"Brother Pig, I told you that I was also entrusted by someone. Why don't you go to Skull Mountain and come to me?" The Bull Demon King said, "Your Taoist priest is here to collect herbs. There is nothing to do here. You can leave."

Zhou Qing was about to leave when he heard this, but was stopped by the Pig Demon: "Don't listen to this guy. Don't leave yet. I need you to give me some advice."

"You cunning old bull, you are taking advantage of my honesty. Everyone knows that you are in cahoots with the Skull Mountain. You don't use your own magic weapon, but you insist on borrowing my rake. Are you afraid that I don't know that you want to drag us into the Flower-Fruit Mountain? I lent it to you because Monkey King and you were sworn brothers. Humph, we agreed to fight our way to the Heaven Palace together, stab the Jade Emperor with swords and spears, and seize his Lingxiao Palace, but you retreated halfway. You are so cowardly. I won't argue with you today. Let's go to Wuzhuang Temple together and ask Brother Zhenyuan to judge the truth. You have to return my rake." Zhou Qing gradually became frightened. What these two people said was probably related to him. The rake mentioned by the pig demon was probably the nine-toothed rake in his hand. But he was grabbed by the pig demon and couldn't get away. Zhou Qing was very anxious and wanted to hit the pig demon with his bamboo stick and run away, but he also knew that this idea was unrealistic. This was deep in the Jilei Mountain and he couldn't run away.

"Brother Pig, what I said before was just a joke. Why did you take it seriously and shout it out to make a fool of yourself? Let this Taoist priest go first, and I will explain it to you in detail." The Bull Demon King was helpless.

"You are trying to deceive an honest man like me with lies again. If you don't bring me the rake today, I won't let you go."

"Okay, okay! I'll return your rake!" The Bull Demon King shook his hand, and a golden basin appeared: "I knew you were difficult to deal with. I was just teasing you, but you took it seriously. Your rake was lost in the human world, and I didn't want to go there, so I borrowed the golden basin from the Holy Mother. Your rake was made by you. Even if someone else got it, sealed the soul inside and couldn't sense it, you just need to drop a trace of your soul mixed with your heart and blood into the basin, and then recite the spell you used when you were practicing, and the rake will automatically fly back."

"What? There is such a magic weapon? Damn Yun Zhongzi, why is there no record of it? In this way, didn't I miss the trap?" Zhou Qing cursed secretly when he heard it. It was really unlucky. How could there be such a perverted magic weapon?

The pig demon let Zhou Qing go and snatched the golden basin. Zhou Qing hurriedly flew away, but he didn't know that the pig demon was in a hurry. While Zhou Qing was still in the sight of the two, they heard a loud bang, and the golden basin of treasures shone brightly, rushing straight into the Dou Palace. The nine-toothed rake in Zhou Qing's space shook, and the talismans on it exploded one after another, and actually rushed out automatically, emitting colorful light, surrounded by tiny golden-armored gods, and immortal music.
