Taoyuan Old Friend
Chapter 842: Old Friend in Taoyuan
Kunlun Realm was originally a holy place in Yankang, known as the King of Ten Thousand Mountains. This holy place has countless peaks, all of which are vying for beauty, and the Taoist sect is hidden among the mountains.
Qin Mu and others came to Kunlun Territory again, and looking around, they saw majestic and magnificent sacred mountains, piercing the sky like a forest. Then they looked at the mountains in Kunlun Territory, which were much shorter than those sacred mountains, and did not have the slightest aura of a holy land. They could not help but shook their heads.
With the reappearance of the metaverse, it is difficult for Kunlun Realm to maintain its name as a holy land.
The Taoist Academy was built at the foot of Taoist Mountain. The Taoists were more casual about their fate and were not as rich as the Great Leiyin Temple, so they built a city at the foot of the mountain, wrote the words "Taoist Academy" on the city tower, and began to recruit scholars.
Next to the Taoist Academy was a peach forest that stretched for thousands of miles, with peach blossoms in full bloom. Qin Mu looked deep into the forest, but could not see the end. He could only vaguely see many palaces and cities in the depths of the forest. He didn't know who lived there.
The blind man closed his eyes and "looked" at the peach forest. After a moment, he said, "There is a very powerful being living in the peach forest, which has blocked the forest. I looked there with my mind's eye, and when I looked to the deepest part, I saw countless peach blossoms flying all over the sky, blocking my view."
Qin Mu was in doubt and asked, "Can't even the blind grandfather's mind see through it?"
The blind man's mind eye can be said to be the most powerful divine eye in the world today, and it is also the key to his great achievements in the art of formation.
He had already cultivated his eyes to the level of a true god when he was young. Although it is called a divine spear, the divine eyes that can see through everything are the key.
After he lost his eyes, he cultivated his mind eyes in the Canlao Village.
Now that he has regained his eyes, his attainments in the power of his mind and spirit have become even more unfathomable.
He was able to fight against the Heavenly Court Divine Constables at Zhengqu River without being at a disadvantage, and his Mind Eye played a big role in this.
However, even a blind man's mind eye could not see through the layout of the thousand-mile peach forest, which made Qin Mu somewhat alert. This peach forest was so vast, and the existences living in it were extraordinary. If they attacked the Taoist sect, I'm afraid the Taoist sect would not be able to resist.
However, what surprised him was that the scholars of the Taoist Academy seemed to be accustomed to the peach forest next to them. Some people who lived nearby and survived under the protection of Taoism even ran to the peach forest to pick peaches.
——This peach forest is so vast that there are four seasons in the forest, and the peaches on some of the trees are already ripe.
Even though these mortals went in and out of the peach forest, no one in the peach forest came out to stop them.
Qin Mu stood outside the academy for a long time before walking into the Taoist academy.
The city was filled with ordinary houses, with no grand buildings like palaces. Many old Taoists were teaching their disciples. Some of them simply found an open space and sat on the ground. Other scholars also sat on the ground, which was very unrefined.
It is somewhat unexpected that Yankang’s first sacred place of numerology is so simple.
Qin Mu brought Yu Tianzun to study, which naturally caused quite a stir. Daoist Master Lin Xuan hurried over to greet him and said with a smile, "Master Qin is a trustworthy person, and he is here as expected."
Qin Mu exchanged a few pleasantries and asked, "What's the origin of the peach forest outside the academy?"
“I don’t know.”
Taoist Master Lin Xuan shook his head: "Ever since the seal of the Metaverse was broken, this peach forest suddenly appeared next to the academy. It's strange to say, there are so many strange places in the Metaverse, and there are countless sacred demigods, but the area around the Taoist gate is very peaceful, and no demigods have ever caused trouble. I think it's because of the peach forest. I also entered the peach forest to explore, but I could never get close to the palace in the peach forest. It seems that there is some kind of bewitching formation or something like that."
Qin Mu showed a puzzled look and said, "I also found on the way that there were no demigods around the Dao Gate. It was very peaceful, unlike other places. The demigods in those places oppressed the human race and treated the human race as slaves, which was considered merciful. I thought it was the Dao Gate that suppressed those demigods, but I didn't expect it was the effect of the peach forest."
Taoist Master Lin Xuan smiled bitterly, "How can the Taoist sect have such strength? There are many powerful demigods living on the sacred mountain nearby. I have seen one of the demigods breathe, and even the sun in the sky was pulled closer by him. Of course, it was the sun in the sky map. There is another strange thing, it is easy to enter this peach forest, and it is even easier to get out."
Qin Mu was puzzled.
"You look at the peach forest from outside. It is ten thousand miles wide. Walking from the outside to the inside, I have walked through hundreds of thousands of miles, not to mention ten thousand miles, and I have never reached the end. As I walked forward, the peach forest around me experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather also changed with the four seasons. It is obvious that the roads I walked were real."
Taoist Master Lin Xuan looked strange and said, "But as soon as I turned around, I found myself still at the edge of the peach forest. I only needed to turn around and walk a few steps to get out. Therefore, many people nearby ran to the peach forest to pick peaches without worrying about getting lost. I originally wanted to explore the secrets of this peach forest, but later I had no choice, and the owner of the peach forest didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so I gave up."
The blind man suddenly said, "This should be a formation, but it doesn't look like a formation. It's like using magic power to shrink the boundless space to within ten thousand miles, or even to within a few feet! But it's impossible for someone in the world to have such a huge amount of magic power. Only a formation that borrows the power of heaven and earth can do this."
Qin Mu asked: "Can Blind Grandpa tell what kind of formation it is?"
The blind man shook his head and said, "You can't see it from the outside. You can only see it when you go in. Moreover, I can't see many traces of formations. If it is really a formation, then Master Zixi is much inferior to the Master of Taolin! However, there can't be a master of formations who is much stronger than Master Zixi."
"Since the owner of the peach forest has no ill intentions and is protecting the people here, we don't have to worry."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Master Lin, I came to the Taoist Academy to study. I will live and eat in the academy these days. And my brother also needs to learn numerology. I hope you can find a few outstanding imperial students to teach him the basic numerology."
Lin Xuan nodded: "Don't worry, there are many masters of numerology in my Taoist sect, let Lan Yutian learn from them. As for Master Qin, I and the elders of the Taoist sect will teach you."
Qin Mu was overjoyed and bowed to express his gratitude.
Lin Xuan quickly returned the greeting and said sternly, "Master, you are embarrassing me. You taught the Taiwei Mathematical Scripture to my sect, and my sect's achievements are just a way of repaying you."
Qin Mu, Yu Tianzun and others stayed in the Taoist Academy. Yu Tianzun followed his teacher to learn various numerology. There were a lot of mathematical scriptures in Taoism, and Lin Xuan brought back a vast number of various mathematical scriptures from Qingyuntian. It was very difficult to learn all of them.
Learning numerology is extremely boring, but it is a crucial foundation in the system of supernatural powers and Taoism. Except for a few supernatural powers such as martial arts that do not have high requirements for numerology, other supernatural power systems all require the use of numerology.
What Lin Xuan brought back from Qingyuntian were all macro-techniques and classics of the Heavenly Court Taoism. They were extremely profound and had been developed to the extreme.
The microscopic numerology was just in its infancy. Although this kind of numerology was created by Qin Mu, it was Taoism that promoted it.
Taoist Master Lin Xuan and others have deduced the Taiwei Suanjing to a level that cannot be understood by conventional numerology. They have even discovered that under microscopic conditions, various macroscopic laws of the Tao are invalid, and that there are laws of inaccuracy in microscopic observations.
Despite these phenomena, when the microscopic form the macroscopic, the various laws of the universe apply again, which is extremely magical.
Qin Mu humbly sought advice, and felt that although the Taiwei Suanjing explained and answered microscopic questions, its system was extremely grand and could be used in various magical powers.
It took him more than twenty days to absorb the achievements of Taoism and turn them into his own knowledge, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Taoist Master Lin Xuan had long known that he was extremely intelligent, so he was not surprised that he mastered the Taiwei Suanjing in more than 20 days. However, the old Taoists who taught him together looked incredulous.
Qin Mu found Yu Tianzun. The omnipotent and highly comprehensible Yu Tianzun also encountered a tough nut to crack this time and was tortured by various arithmetic techniques and became depressed.
On the contrary, Long Qilin was in high spirits. He went to various colleges of the Taoist Academy to listen and gained a lot.
"Although Lan Yutian has a high level of comprehension, his talent in numerology is only first-rate, and he is not as good as Long Qilin."
Lin Xuan said to Qin Mu: "He needs to spend more time to master the various Taoist scriptures."
"He is strong in understanding. Numerology is just a tool for him to seek truth. It is not important to him."
Qin Mu sighed and said, "Master Lin, have you ever seen a peerless genius?"
Lin Xuan asked alertly: "Are you going to be modest again?"
Qin Mu shook his head: "I am also a genius, but I am stronger than my aptitude. In fact, my comprehension is only a little better than yours. Because I have a domineering body, so as long as I work hard, I can learn anything quickly. Lan Yutian is different. He is closer to Tao. The purpose of Taoism's creation of numerology is to analyze all the great ways in the world. Numerology is a tool for seeking Tao. If someone is born close to Tao, can clearly sense Tao, and comprehend Tao, does he still need the tool of numerology?"
Lin Xuan was stunned and looked at Lan Yutian, only to see Lan Yutian scratching his head and face because of a numerology problem, his forehead covered with sweat.
"Where did Blind Grandpa go?"
Qin Mu searched the Taoist academy but could not find any trace of the blind man. He was shocked and quickly found Long Qilin who was listening to the lecture seriously. Long Qilin said, "The blind man went to the peach forest and said he wanted to go in and take a look. He didn't let me tell the leader."
Qin Mu was furious: "This blind old man is such a worry! How long has he been gone?"
"After the leader left for the academic department, the blind master went in."
Long Qilin said quickly: "Master, go find him. I will protect Young Master Lan. Young Master Lan can also make elixirs. You don't need to worry about my food."
"You must protect him well, nothing can go wrong!"
Qin Mu hurried out of the city and came to the peach orchard. Looking around, he saw a dense peach forest with clusters of flowers. There were so many trees and flowers that he couldn't count them.
He flew high into the sky and looked forward, only to see that the peach tree was still across his body and he could not fly over it.
Qin Mu had no choice but to land and walked into the peach forest step by step. His immortal spiritual consciousness flew out in all directions, searching for the whereabouts of the blind man.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, green peaches grew on the peach tree beside him. He continued walking forward, and the peaches turned red. He walked forward again, and the peach leaves withered and fell to the ground. He walked forward again, and snow began to fall from the sky.
Qin Mu turned around suddenly, only to find himself at the edge of the peach forest, not far inside.
"It's just as Daoist Master Lin said, this peach forest is indeed strange! Blind Grandpa should be able to walk out of the peach forest just by turning around, why hasn't he come out yet?"
He calmed himself and tried to find the formation, but no matter how he activated his divine eyes, he could not see any trace of the formation.
Even his immortal consciousness could not find the end of the peach forest.
At this time, the sun had set, the sky was getting darker, and the sky was full of twinkling stars. Qin Mu looked up at the stars, trying to determine his position, and was suddenly startled.
"There's something wrong with this star map... It's indeed wrong. This is not the star map covering Yankang, but the real starry sky!"
He suddenly lifted the willow leaf between his brows and said in a deep voice: "God, can your true form see me?"
In the Qin Continent, the voice of the God of Heaven came, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll look for you... I found you! Hey, when did you leave the Metaverse?"
Qin Mu was shocked: "I am not in the Yuanjie? God, then where am I now?"
"In a very strange universe, you are standing next to a peach tree."
Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "God, is there a palace in front of me? Can you guide me in the direction?"
The God's clone in the Qin Continent smiled and said, "Look up at the starry sky. I will light a star for you. Follow this star."
Qin Mu looked up at the sky and suddenly there was a star in the sky. He thought that God must have pinched a sun from somewhere and hung it on Xuandu.
In Xuandu, God moved the stars, and Qin Mu followed the star track and walked forward. After a long time, a palace suddenly appeared in front of him. In the night, there were eternal lanterns hanging outside the palace.
I heard a very pleasant female voice saying with a smile: "I have a guest coming, it's an old friend, go and invite him over."
"yes."
Several girls' voices were heard from the palace, and then several girls came out of the palace carrying lanterns.
