On the Avenue.

Chapter 493: Tushan Empress
The golden dragon was confused and had no idea what was happening. When his eyes focused, he found that the elixir of immortality had been eaten down to only the bare stems. The leaves, flowers and fruits had been eaten up completely!

He was horrified and looked in the direction of the thief's aura, and saw those green sheep standing there stupidly.

"The immortal asked me to guard this treasure and save it in case of disaster. Now it has been eaten bald by someone, what shall I do?"

The golden dragon pounced over and grabbed the green sheep.

The ram cried out, "It was done by a sheep from another place. It has nothing to do with us. That green sheep has gone over there!"

The golden dragon looked and saw that the place where the ram was pointing was empty.

Jinlong hung them up and beat them, torturing them to extract confessions. Several Qingyang cried out in injustice.

When the Immortal Ku Rong came back, he saw the elixir of immortality had been bitten into this state, he became furious and hung the Golden Dragon up and beat him.

The golden dragon cried out in injustice and told the truth. The Immortal Ku Rong then interrogated the green sheep, half believing and half doubting, and said, "My fairyland is my place of harmony with the Tao. Who can break into my fairyland quietly?"

He counted with his fingers and frowned, as he couldn't figure out who the thief was who stole the elixir of immortality.

"Strange, even my roots have been wiped out, who dislikes me so much?"

He looked at the immortal elixir, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "Fortunately, the elixir is not dead yet. If you cultivate it carefully for a hundred years, it can still grow again. If it dies, I'm afraid there will be no cure for me when the catastrophe begins!"

Qingyang rushed out of the Chunyang Fairyland, returned to the narrow path, and ran happily to the end of the road.

As he ran, he felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, and his steps becoming lighter and lighter, as if every step he took could shake off all the dirt and worries.

Soon, he ran to the end of the road. He felt his body was light, his spirit was strong, and he felt so light that he seemed to be flying.

He looked back and was suddenly stunned.

I saw countless green sheep on this road, each of them was running with a smile on their face.

These green sheep are all him!

Qingyang was stunned, not knowing what was happening.

At this time, the road began to collapse and disintegrate, and the green sheep on the road disappeared one after another, swallowed by the sea of ​​darkness.

Qingyang ran forward quickly and rushed into the light. When he steadied himself, he found himself back in the temple.

He quickly paid his respects to the goddess Hou Tu who was sitting on the lotus throne.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu raised her hand and said with a smile, "Do you know what the immortal elixir you took is? This treasure was found by the Immortal Ku Rong after much difficulty, and was planted in his own Pure Yang Fairyland to protect his life during the catastrophe. What you left behind along the way are countless past you who died and could not become an immortal. Now, under the effect of the elixir, you have transformed, resurrected from the dead, and cultivated into an immortal body."

Qingyang was surprised and delighted, and thanked the goddess again.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu said, "You ate the treasure of the Immortal Ku Rong, which prolonged your life and created a cause and effect relationship with the Immortal Ku Rong. I don't know what will happen in the future. You should be careful."

Qingyang was confused and didn't understand the deep meaning of her words.

On the other side, the Sky Fox passed through the circle and came to the hill in the middle of the circle. It saw lush green hills and extremely ancient vegetation, but there was no human habitation.

He transformed himself into a bearded man, walking and wandering in the mountains, wondering in his heart: "The Queen Mother Hou Tu ordered me to come here to find the tomb of the nine-tailed fairy fox, maybe there is a destiny. But how can I find it in this deep mountain forest?"

At this time, only the sound of a piano could be heard, distant and deep.

The fox Hu Xiaoliang followed the sound of the zither and heard a woman singing along with the music from afar. The song went:
"I met a jade figure at Tushan, and recognized the fairy figure while controlling the water.

The spiritual bond connects the mountains and the sea, and the clouds and rainbows are the time for marriage."

Then the singing voice suddenly became somewhat sad and mournful.

"Your heart follows the waves far away, and my shadow turns into stars.

The nine-tailed fox shakes the moon in the sky, and I have been looking at her alone for a thousand years. "

Hu Xiaoliang thought to himself, "The first four lines seem to say that a man who was controlling floods passed by Tushan and met a fairy. The two of them had a tacit understanding and the same interests, so they got married with clouds and rainbows. The last four lines say that the man who controlled floods left Tushan to control the floods, and the fairy's thoughts turned into stars and followed him. She waited for a thousand years at Tushan to look at the moon, but the man who controlled floods never showed up, so she felt quite resentful. Could it be that the one playing the piano is the nine-tailed fairy fox I'm looking for?"

When he got closer, he saw a palace in the mountain, built of white jade without any other colors.

A fox girl from the palace greeted him and said, "The Queen knows that the descendants are coming, so please come over and talk to the young master."

When Hu Xiaoliang transformed into a human, he looked rough and sloppy. It was the first time he was respected as a young master, and he felt uneasy.

He followed the fox girl into the palace, but found that the place was antique, yet filled with a gloomy aura, which should have been transformed from a mausoleum.

The fox girl led him through the overlapping corridors and bridges and came to the depths of the palace. He saw layers of white curtains hanging in the palace, blocking his view. He could vaguely see a lady sitting behind the curtains, playing the piano.

The fox girl led him to a seat, and the music from the opposite side stopped.

Hu Xiaoliang was feeling uneasy, so he broke the silence and said, "I apologize for disturbing you, Your Majesty."

A rather pleasant voice came from behind the curtain, saying, "We are all family, why disturb us? Are you from the Qingqiu lineage, or the Xuanyuanfen lineage?"

Hu Xiaoliang's heart was slightly shaken. The Nine-tailed Sky Fox was divided into two branches, one was Qingqiu and the other was Xuanyuanfen. The foxes outside regarded these two places as their ancestral lands! But this rumor was extremely old, and few foxes knew about it now.

"I am from the Qingqiu lineage." Hu Xiaoliang said.

"Qingqiu lineage? That means they are my descendants."

The lady behind the curtain smiled and asked, "What brings you here?"

Hu Xiaoliang explained the fact that his bloodline was impure, and said, "I have spread my family in Xiniu Island and am the leader of the fox tribe there. Now I am in a critical moment and I have come here to seek an opportunity under the guidance of a master."

The lady said, "I see. Your bloodline is impure, and you can restore it by refining the impure blood. I will teach you a method of the Heavenly Fox to attain enlightenment, and you just need to practice according to the method."

After a while, a fox girl came over with a jade plate with a bamboo slip on it.

Hu Xiaoliang thanked him quickly and put away the bamboo slips.

Behind the curtain, the lady said, "Could the master who sent you here be the Queen Mother Hou Tu?"

Hu Xiaoliang didn't dare to hide it and said, "That's right."

The lady said, "The Queen Mother Hou Tu has given me more trouble. You go now."

A snow-white curtain came towards him and brushed past Hu Xiaoliang. When the curtain passed, all he saw was green mountains and green waters all around, but there was no White Jade Palace.

Hu Xiaoliang was startled and squeezed his sleeves. The bamboo slips recording the Heavenly Fox's method of proving the Tao were still there, so he felt relieved.

He returned along the same route and went back to the Temple of Hou Tu Niangniang to pay his respects to the goddess.

The Queen Mother of the Underworld smiled and said, "The place you just went to is called Tushan. The Queen Mother of Tushan is your ancestor. She will bless you because you have something to ask for."

Hu Xiaoliang said: "I have never heard of the name of Tushan Niangniang, I only heard that my ancestor came from Qingqiu."

Niangniang Hou Tu said: "Niangniang Tushan married the Human Emperor who controlled the flood, but at that time the Human Emperor was not yet the Human Emperor. After the flood was controlled, the Human Emperor ascended the throne and had an extraordinary status. It was impossible for him to marry a fox girl. She waited in Tushan for a thousand years and gradually developed resentment. The Human Emperor established Daxia. Later, when the last generation of the Human Emperor of Daxia was in power, a nine-tailed fox emerged from Xuanyuan's tomb and transformed into a peerless beauty. She ruined Daxia's country and avenged the love and hatred of her ancestors."

Hu Xiaoliang was dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Madam, the place I went to just now, is it the Chinese Continent?"

Queen Hou Tu smiled without saying anything and waved her hand for him to leave.

Hu Xiaoliang had no choice but to leave and concentrate on studying the Heavenly Fox Enlightenment Method.

These past few days, Chen Yin has been working hard to refine that wisp of samsara energy, Du Yiran has been studying the Xuanhuang energy, the creator Xiao Wu has been practicing on the lotus platform, but Chen Shi has welcomed an uninvited guest.

Zhong Wuwang brought the water from the Dao Spring and gave it to Chen Shi, saying, "The water from the Dao Spring is extremely rare. It is the dew condensed from the immortal energy. It is the only Dao Spring in Xinzhou, Xiniu Island. It is not tainted with any evil energy, which is the most rare."

Chen Shi took out the big pot where he used to take medicinal baths and poured the water from the Taoist spring into it.

Zhong Wuwang's eyes twitched as he watched, and he said patiently, "This thing is the spring water of the Great Dao, which is extremely rare. The only spring water is on my Despair Hill..."

Chen Shi was surprised and said, "You've already said it once."

He picked up Wuqi's corpse, put it into the cauldron, and then soaked himself in it.

Zhong Wuwang looked at Chen Shi sitting in the pot, his mouth twitched, and said: "Daoquan is extremely rare..."

"You want to come in too?"

Chen Shi hesitated, "My pot is not big enough. I'm afraid it can't hold the three of us."

Zhong Wuwang snorted and said no more.

Chen Shi only felt that this spring was truly magical. Threads of strange heat penetrated through the pores of his skin, tempering his body and soul, making him extremely comfortable.

Zhong Wuwang stood beside the pot and broke the silence, saying, "I heard that someone is practicing the old method to transcend the tribulation. Is this person you?"

Chen Shi opened his arms and said leisurely, "Yes, it's me. It's just that my outer body is going through the tribulation. My soul has become an immortal, and I'm using the immortal light and energy from the immortal world to refine my body. Once my body becomes an immortal body, I can merge with the Tao. You should know that when I merge with the Tao, the world will change drastically."

Zhong Wuwang thought of his Yin-Yang Dojo, and said with awe, "Your incarnation is in harmony with the Tao, but your true body is far inferior to mine. I will find a new way to become an immortal, which will be far better than yours."

Chen Shi said leisurely: "I have four great disciples, four independent people, and none of them is inferior to you in cultivation. Maybe you haven't become an immortal yet, but my four disciples have already become immortals."

Zhong Wuwang felt deeply pressured.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Tianzun was injured, a knife wound."

Chen Shi looked solemn, sat up, and said in a deep voice: "Knife wound? What knife wound?"

Zhong Wuwang said: "The knife wound caused by Yin Yang Qi. He took away the immortal artifact Yin Yang Qi Bottle from my Despair Hill and used this treasure to heal the knife wound. The knife wound on my body was also healed with this treasure!"

"So, Tianzun is blind in one eye!"

Chen Shi clenched his fists and said with a smile, "I chopped it! It seems that Tianzun is not invincible!"
