Chapter 348 Rabbit's Cave

The cave where Luofu Mountain is now located.

Unlike the "natural" aesthetics of Wushen Mountain, Luofu Mountain has transformed this place into a typical Taoist aesthetics.

What is natural aesthetics?

It means that it should be what it is, and there will be no witches and shamans who have nothing to do to transform nature for fun.

Only human beings like to transform everything in the outside world into what they like when they have nothing to do. Wudao usually does not touch these scenery at all.

The aesthetics of Taoism is more extreme.

Taoism will not erase nature according to its own preferences like human beings, and then make it into what people like, nor will it let it go like Wudao.

They prefer... to give birth, or... to transcend.

Just like the concept of Taoism.

Born from all things, and then transcend all things.

Use spirit to transcend the body.

Use reason to transcend the spirit.

Finally transcend everything, reach the transcendent state of omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, and become a "true immortal".

Therefore, according to their aesthetics, the place where Taoism is located will be more "natural" than nature.

As the cultivation of the people in Luofu Mountain has recovered in the past few days, this place is more magnificent than when Li Qi first came.

Li Qi stood outside the mountain gate.

You can see that there are many floating islands, just like "spiritual peaks".

These spiritual peaks are suspended in their own air, and they operate according to fixed formations under the breeze.

There are many suspended runes and chains, one after another, faintly forming nine circular arches, guarding the entrance to the cave on the ground.

The nine-layer gate opens, and the spirit fish is flying.

The light shines down, and the Honghu never stops.

The nature of the hearse is like a dark cloud.

Riding a flying beast, the scales and feathers are flying.

Looking deeper from the entrance, you can see many animals and plants.

Under the spiritual peaks, there are wind horses.

There is a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right.

The pine and toon of Tianshou, the oriole chicks are playing tricks.

The yellow chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the red dogwood is brewing fragrance.

The spirits are rising in all directions, and the spirit is full.

Turn sideways again and look at the buildings around the animals.

Fairy mountain pavilions, jade palaces and Yaochi.

The ground is made of gold and jade, and there are thousands of acres of colored glaze.

Dew and rosy clouds, clouds and pepper wine.

Smoke shrouds the fragrant path, and the clouds are like flower bricks.

Painted buildings are swaying, and golden threads are slanting.

This is something more natural than nature.

The "fairy cave" that originates from nature but transcends nature.

All things can find prototypes in reality, but they transcend the prototypes.

Everything here has more prominent features;

The mountains are more majestic and towering, the rivers are more cold and biting, the trees are more vibrant, the beasts are more wild, and even the colors are more colorful.

At first glance, it seems to be very similar to the outside world, but if you look closely, you will find that everything here has more distinct characteristics, and they all seem to have been "enhanced".

They are all sharper and more distinct than the prototypes in the outside world, as if they were covered with a filter that does not exist in reality.

If Li Qi were to describe it...

Movies.

Yes, it is a movie.

The scenes in the movie are similar to those in reality, but they always have a unique beauty.

Looking at the scene of the fairy mountain in front of him, Li Qi first sighed, and then walked to the door.

This is a very magnificent gate, which is more than a thousand meters high, carved with white jade, painted with caves, rocks and valleys, ten continents and three islands, misty clouds, and pine and bamboo, which are complicated and dense, and extremely exquisite.

This gate stands alone in the open space, with nothing around it, and you can even go around to the back of the door.

However, if you don’t push it open and pass through this door, you can only look at it from a distance, and you can’t get close to those spiritual peaks.

Without passing through this door, you want to fly towards those spiritual peaks, but you can’t fly for a long time.

You can only look at the beautiful scenery on those spiritual peaks forever, like a mirage, which can be seen but not touched.

You must go in through this door and go through a procedure called "ladder to heaven" to really get close to those spiritual peaks.

Because in essence... these spiritual peaks do not exist in this world at all, they are just some projections.

You must pass through the gate to get to the location of the spiritual peaks.

Li Qi approached the gate.

At the gate, there were several stone lions, which suddenly came to life when Li Qi approached, staring at him with a fierce look, full of vigilance.

However, these lions did not take the initiative to attack, but just bared their teeth.

Because Li Qi showed a jade pendant, which was the one Yang Ning gave him.

Although the stone lions did not know Li Qi, they remained vigilant, but still chose to let him in. .

Li Qi did not care about these stone lions, he just walked to the gate and pulled the door knocker on it.

The so-called door knocker is the copper ring with animal heads on the ordinary gate, which is used to knock on the door.

However, the door knocker here is not a copper ring, but a jade ring.

Li Qi just held the jade ring, but saw that the animal head on it suddenly came to life, roaring and asking: "Who is coming! What's the matter!"

Li Qi took a look, but found that the other party was pretending to roar.

Because he knew the appearance of this door knocker, it was a pepper toad, a kind of dragon beast.

The pepper toad, shaped like a snail, has a gentle temperament and likes to keep its mouth shut, so it often stands on the door knocker.

Of course, this is definitely not a real pepper toad. In Luofu Mountain’s heyday, there were probably pepper toads guarding the gate, but this one now should be just a forged tool with only the shape of a pepper toad.

And, did I... scare him?

Does this Jiao Tu know himself?

I guess Jiao Tu was there last time I came here on Dapeng.

Therefore, Li Qi's attitude softened a little. He raised his hand and said: "As entrusted by Zhenjun Yang Ning, I came to clean up the cave of the Empress of the Moon and take some things with me. This is the voucher. Please take a look at it."

Li Qi took out the jade pendant.

The door knocker that looked like a pepper picture stared at it, and then retracted: "In that case... in that case, please come in, sir, but don't, don't be the same as last time..."

As he retreated into his shell, the door slowly opened.

The jade pendant is enough evidence. That thing cannot be faked, and it cannot even be robbed. It must have been given by True Lord Chi Qi.

It's just... this Young Master of Wushen Mountain is so rude that he actually calls True Lord Chi Qi by his first name, Yang Ning.

Oh, forget it, he is a big shot.

"That's natural. I was just anxious last time. This time I came alone. I won't be able to cause any trouble, so don't worry." Li Qi smiled, then opened the door, led the old horse, and walked through the door. .

Entering the door, a row of illusory stairs suddenly appeared in front of them, floating in the air.

Li Qi and Lao Ma climbed the stairs.

After walking for a while, the ladder suddenly stopped.

However, both men and horses can fly, so they are not afraid. They are suspended in the air and know that they have arrived in the cave.

Before they could move, they saw a group of skylarks chirping over.

These skylarks were small and cute, only as big as a palm. They were nimble and agile. They rushed towards Li Qi in a mess.

However, they are said to be cute, but in fact they are all ninth grade, and they are all spiritual beasts.

These skylarks fluttered in front of Li Qi, and then they all turned into little lolita, and respectfully saluted Li Qi: "Hello, master! Good luck to you!"

"Who are you?" Li Qi was stunned.

To be honest, it's a bit new.

I was called "Master" once, although Li Qi didn't like this title very much.

"We are the welcoming sparrows. You are the Taoist companion of the Mid-Moon Empress. You should be called Mr. You, so we call you that. Don't you like it?" The skylarks looked at Li Qi pitifully.

I have to say that arranging such a group of cuties to be responsible for welcoming guests can indeed avoid most of the trouble. The person who arranged this does have something.

"It doesn't matter what your name is. You can just call me Li Qi. But where is the cave of the Moon Empress? Can you lead me there? I'm here to help her pack some things and leave." Li Qi said.

"Ah? The master wants to pack up the things in the cave and leave? Then... the Moon Lady will not come back again?" All the skylarks immediately raised their heads again, their voices were tense, and dozens of them all had exactly the same movements and tone of voice.

To be honest, Li Qi was impressed.

He slowed down his tone and touched the head of the little skylark in front of him that reached his knees: "Of course not. If I don't let her come back, she will still blame me."

The little larks collectively breathed a sigh of relief, so tacitly understood that they seemed to be one person.

"But I don't dare to call you by your first name. I am your Taoist companion. Wouldn't that be disrespectful to you? But since you have made your intention clear, please come with us."

Then, there was a sound like dumplings being dropped.

It turned out that the little skylarks exploded some white smoke on the spot one by one. In the smoke, they were transformed from little lolita into palm-sized, glutinous rice dumpling-like real skylarks. They hummed and flapped their wings toward the distance. Fly away.

Li Qi smiled, rode the old horse, and patted the horse's neck.

The old horse moved its hooves and followed the little larks in a leisurely pace.

This time there was not even Qing Lei, only Xiang Yun under his hooves. It was obvious to him that it was no different from taking a walk after dinner.

A group of chirping little things led the way, and the old horse followed behind. In a short time, they passed through many spiritual peaks.

From here you can see the whole of Lingfeng.

These peaks floating in the sky are very majestic.

You can see that there are some Luofu Mountain disciples practicing martial arts above, as well as various spiritual beasts, medicine fields, and alchemy furnaces. From time to time, many brilliance and visions flash out, which are the lights of magic techniques.

It has everything that a fairy sect should have, and the style of painting fits perfectly.

Sure enough, he just worshiped the wrong sect.

Passing through these, all the way to another mountain, the skylarks stopped on the branches in unison, bending the small branches.

Then, a skylark said: "Master, here we are, this is the place, just go in."

"Okay, thank you all." Li Qi raised his hand, and a ball came out of his body.

Those are the five elements of energy of various colors, scattered to these little skylarks.

The skylarks were inexplicably surprised, but they were very orderly. You and I took one bite at a time and ate the ball according to their respective skills. Then they all fell to the branches and shouted: "Thank you, master!"

"No need, you go ahead and do your work, I will do the rest myself." Li Qi nodded.

The skylarks were also sincere. After hearing this, they said goodbye one after another, and then dispersed with a crash.

Many skylarks were full and anxious to go back and refine the Five Elements Qi in their stomachs.

Li Qi watched them leave.

Then, he took out the jade pendant, got off the old horse, and said to him: "You can find a place to rest and see if there is any mare or something. See if it can be done. The girl from Luofu Mountain raises it." People."

"I'll go in first." Li Qi knocked on the horse's head, and then put the jade pendant into the formation eye. He heard a rumble and the stone door moved away.

Li Qi entered the door.

Old Ma snorted outside the door and looked at Li Qi with contempt.

After all, you only have one in your life, and it is highly unlikely that you will have a second one.

At least Master Ma has three digits, at least a hundred mares, and I don’t know how many breeds he has left.

You are such a little guy, and you dare to educate Master Ma?

It’s a pity that Li Qi couldn’t see Old Ma’s expression, otherwise his inner thoughts would definitely be very interesting.

Let alone these private life matters, Li Qi walked into the cave alone.

To be honest, I was a little excited.

Strictly speaking, this is Shen Shuibi’s boudoir. Although it is not the one she lived in since she was a child, everything that belongs to her in Luofu Mountain is basically here.

The last time I came here, I was dragged back by a pile of chains before I could enter the door, and locked under the Demon Suppression Tower, and was almost beaten to death by Yang Ning.

This time I can finally come in openly.

There are a lot of things in the cave, very mixed, but not messy, which is in line with Shen Shuibi’s temperament.

What kind of temperament is that... probably, everything is thrown away casually, and it may be picked up casually, without looking for a place to hide, so everything is placed outside, and it is in a position that can be easily taken.

However, it is precisely because it is to be taken that it is placed in a very regular manner. At a glance, you can see Shen Shuibi's living habits, when and where to do what.

There is a different kind of fun.

"Eight Diagrams Plate, Medicine Cauldron, Alchemy Furnace, Jade Flute... Hey, and Rattle?" Li Qi counted the things and picked up a children's toy with some curiosity.

This should be what the rabbit played when it was very small, right?

How to say... It feels wonderful.

Because this thing is a magic weapon, and it is actually of a high grade, a full eight grade, but it has no practical use, it is purely durable.

This is a particularly high-grade, particularly durable... rattle.

Obviously, the person who has such a hand must have a high level of cultivation, who knows, it may be Luofu Niangniang.

If you have to talk about its use, if you inject mana into this thing and shake it, the brain of the mortal who hears it will probably explode. It can barely be used as a weapon, but as long as you have a little cultivation, you will only feel that this sound is very sobering.

Li Qi took it and swung it, making a dongdongdong sound.

A children's toy made by a third-rank boss, and it was the one his wife played with when she was a child...

This feeling is really amazing.

Continue to look for things to see if there is anything else that can be brought back to Rabbit.

Then, he saw a cabinet, which seemed to be... a wardrobe?

Li Qi opened it curiously.

Sure enough, it was a wardrobe with a lot of clothes in it.

Then Li Qi closed the cabinet door without changing his expression.

There were underwear inside.
