Chapter 311 Past Events
The fall of the gods is the source of pain for the people of Zhou Huishan. Although Old Jindan Lei Song has never seen the grand occasion of Zhou Huishan in person, he has always hated it and does not want to mention it more.
For a moment, the room was a little quiet.
Shi Qingyu poured the wine knowingly but did not dare to speak.
After a long time, Lei Song chatted with Lin Bai about the formation method.
"You are talented in formations, but you still lack guidance, otherwise you will be limited by your knowledge and will never be able to achieve excellence." Lei Song commented first, then took out a booklet and said, "Take a look."
Lin Bai took it and took a look. It was clearly the formation book he had learned before and entered the formation!
However, Lei Song only gave a general outline at the beginning and no details about the Gu family.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" Lin Bai quickly turned over it and was filled with admiration.
"This is the beginning of the chapter, and there will be something even better later, all about the changes in formations!" Lei Song lowered his voice and whispered, "Do you want to learn it?"
Old Jindan Leisong had a big beard and wrinkled face, but his eyes were bright and his voice was very charming.
This collection of books is truly a treasure and can be passed down from generation to generation.
Lin Bai looked down upon these old people from Zhou Huishan more and more.
They are also recruiting people. The Gu family will send them directly to your door and give you guidance from time to time. They don't treat you as an outsider at all. Of course, it is really cruel to ask for it...
However, Lin Bai is still willing to follow the Gu family. Even though the Gu family is unreliable, they are really kind and down to earth!
But when Zhou returned to the mountain, he acted like a man with strings, as if he was afraid of being stolen. I don't know if it's a character developed from years of running away or just like this. Anyway, I have lost a little bit of the demeanor of the Huashen Sect, not even the demeanor of the Yuanying Sect.
Moreover, they are always condescending, thinking that all of them are good people, while other people are just rubes and have nothing to bring to the table.
No wonder he fled all the way south but was never welcomed by anyone!
"Of course I want to participate in the research." Lin Bai looked eager and asked curiously: "Brother, may I ask which master wrote this book?"
"This is written by my ancestor Xie Qingxuan of Zhou Huishan." Lei Song stroked his beard quite proudly.
Lin Bai had been hanging out in Wuque Mountain for a long time and knew quite a bit about Zhou Hui's journey south.
The people who returned to the mountain from Zhou Dynasty went south in three groups. This Xie Qingxuan was the newly promoted Nascent Soul after the arrival of the Avatar of the Northern Wilderness Territory. He then went south with the second group, but later left alone and no longer knows where he went.
"My ancestors and ancestors Xie had good relations, so we got this inheritance. In fact, it was my predecessors in Zhou Huishan who paved the way, and ancestor Xie perfected it."
Old Jindan Lei Song's eyes were blazing, "How about it, brother, do you want to see what's going on? Get a glimpse of the avenue?"
Why does this person keep wanting me to change my family?
Lin Bai didn't answer, but he was even more confused.
What Old Jin Dan Lei Song said is probably true. The book Entering the Formation was indeed written by Xie Qingxuan, the Nascent Soul of Zhou Huishan, but a copy was later passed on to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan only got it after going out. According to legend, he was exploring a secret place.
Lin Bai remembered that Aunt Gu once said that the matter in the secret realm was also related to Ancestor Xiang.
In this case, Old Ancestor Xiang Ying also had contacts with Xie Qingxuan, but the old people in Zhou Huishan didn't know about it.
I just don’t know who is in charge when exploring that secret realm.
If he was looking for help from his ancestor, Xie Qingxuan, why not look for two of his own, Cheng Yang, who are of the same rank?
Of course, it is also possible that Xie Qingxuan lured his ancestors as foreign aid. But why didn't Xie Qingxuan look for Zhou Huishan's old friend?
Either way is possible anyway. If it is the latter, it means that the matter in the secret realm may be related to the old land of Zhouhui Mountain.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai thought about Sister Zhen and Fox again. These two naughty things should be near Zhouhui Mountain at this moment, or perhaps already in Zhouhui Mountain.
After all, Zhouhui Mountain is vast, far beyond Qiao Mountain. Although there are transformed gods to guard it, the transformed gods have been in seclusion for hundreds of years. There are only three Nascent Souls left to guard it. One person and one fox can easily sneak in.
"My dear brother, there is no need to answer in a hurry." Old Jindan Leisong smiled while stroking his beard, and said: "There are not many opportunities like this, let alone there will be other wonderful methods passed down in the future, so you should go back and think about it carefully."
"I have longed for Zhou Huishan for a long time, and I have long wanted to take refuge in my heart." Lin Bai sighed and waved his hands: "It's just that I am a casual cultivator, and I have the love of Ancestor Gu. If I come to Wuque Mountain..."
"Don't worry." When Lei Song saw Lin Bai relaxed, he immediately said: "I know the formations and can make elixirs. I will definitely be valued by my ancestors in the future."
"But Xiaoying..." Lin Bai sighed again, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.
"Don't worry, Yueying must be yours, brother." Lei Song took Lin Bai's arm and said, "Yueying is my ancestor's beloved disciple. Isn't it better than you being someone's forbidden toy in Qiaoshan?"
"..." Lin Bai didn't even know how his reputation was ruined, let alone how these people spread the rumors!
Seeing that they didn't talk about sleeping, Lin Bai hesitated for a while, then patted his butt and left.
Five more days later, Jiang Xingchi finally showed his face.
I don’t know how he managed to get around, but he brought together the leader of Hehuan Sect Hua, the leader of Zhu City of Tianhuo City, and Wu Queshan Lei Zaixiao for an interview.
Jiang Xingchi originally wanted to take Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli with him, but Lin Bai was detained by Lei Zaixiao and asked to help Lei Song.
Sanyuanying only talked for a day, and finally gave Qiaoshan face and did not start a fight.
I heard that they scolded each other for a whole day and then went back to their homes.
It was impossible for these three families to bridge the gap, and Lin Bai felt that Jiang Xingchi must have understood it with his wisdom in planning the city.
And Jiang Xingchi still worked so hard to do this. Lin Bai felt that it was mostly to deal with an errand that he would never return to.
"I thought I was just messing around, but in fact, why isn't Senior Jiang just messing around?"
Sure enough, on the second day after the quarrel, Jiang Xingchi summoned Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to him.
As soon as the pitiful words were said, Lin Cheng and the two of them also sighed and made a show of it, and then they talked about continuing to go north.
"I once swore that if the northern border was unfair, I would never become a Taoist!" Jiang Xingchi was very serious.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli didn't know whether what others said was true or false, but they both praised Senior Jiang for his benevolence and righteousness.
"Lin Zhuanlun, I heard that the mountain-protecting formation has been reset at Wuque Mountain recently. You have contributed a lot?" Jiang Xingchi looked at Lin Bai.
"Yes." Lin Bai answered honestly, "The seniors helped bridge the war. The juniors had nothing to contribute, so they were invited to help with the arrangements."
"I plan to continue going north. Fellow Daoist Lei said that the formation has not yet been completed and wants to keep you for a while. Are you willing to stay?" Jiang Xingchi asked.
Only a fool is willing to stay. Lin Bai always wants to go north and see!
"The reason why I went north with my senior is to end the war, not for the sake of my family. I really don't want to stay any longer, I just want to follow my senior!" Lin Bai immediately expressed his attitude.
Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said: "I went to hand over the errand and leave with me tomorrow."
Lin Bai received the order and immediately went to find Lao Jindan Lei Song.
"My heart is like the bright moon. Although I want to live here forever, but..." Lin Bai sighed quietly and said helplessly: "Brother, wait for me to come back!"
Lei Song didn't expect Lin Bai to leave anyway, and the formation hadn't even been set up yet!
"It's better to let Senior Jiang go first, and I will stay and help me pack up the mountain protection formation before leaving." Lei Song held Lin Bai's hand and refused to let go, "Brother, I don't have a few more years to live..."
< br>
His words really betrayed him, and his eyes were red. Lin Bai sighed again.
But after waiting for a long time, they didn't talk about studying the book "Joining the Army", nor did they mention letting Wang Yueying sleep. Anyway, they didn't give any benefits at all, they only talked about how the future would be!
Seeing that this person was so desperate, Lin Bai really lost his mood, so he left after saying a few polite words.
I have been picking up other people's wool all day long, but I didn't expect that this time I was picked up, and nothing was mixed in. It was really uncomfortable.
After returning to the guest house, Lin Bai drank alone in front of the moon. After a while, Wang Yueying came to persuade him to stay.
"Lang Lang, I'm waiting for you to come back." Wang Yueying said affectionately.
Lin Bai pulled her in, but Wang Yueying refused, insisting on saying weird things like wanting to see the moon as farewell.
These Zhou Huishan old people were really stingy, and Lin Bai could only say some perfunctory words that would be answered in the future, which was just a trick.
"Since you are leaving, bring me a letter." Wang Yueying took out a jade slip.
This is a message slip, mostly used to convey secrets. There is a soul mark on it, and if it is not a specific person, nothing can be seen. If it is opened forcibly, the jade slip will turn into powder.
"When we were going south, we passed by Yubi Mountain and met a sister there. We corresponded all the time." Wang Yueying said about her past.
Her sister is also an old person from Zhou Huishan, and is a descendant of the second group of people who went south.
Lin Bai was naturally willing to do it with a little effort.
On the second day, Jiang Xingchi took Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to continue northward.
There were many sects and families along the way, but Jiang Xingchi only sought an audience with the Yuanying sect. Regardless of whether these sects have grudges against the old Zhou Huishan people, it’s just nonsense like “people who are both cultivators are born from the same roots”.
The monks here also know the name of Qiaoshan, but it is too far away from the lower-level monks. Some have set foot there during their long journeys, and some have only heard of the names of the three sects of Qiaoshan, or the name of Ancestor Xiang, but know very little about the new Nascent Soul.
Of course, the Jindan and Nascent Soul cultivators have far higher horizons than the lower-level disciples. They all know the name of Qiaoshan and have even interacted with the three sects.
The name of the newly promoted Nascent Soul Jiang Xingchi has also been heard by many. Anyway, people either say it like thunder, or say they have admired it for a long time.
After traveling around, Lin Bai saw a lot of scenery, met many Taoist friends, and also learned the whereabouts of Bi Huanqiu.
Because of the reputation of Jiuzhe Mountain, the disciples of various major sects are willing to make friends with Bi Huanqiu.
Later, Bi Huanqiu continued to go north, saying that he wanted to visit Shoutian Pavilion, hoping to meet the high-ranking cultivators in the Northern Wasteland.
After lingering for more than a month, we continued northward and came to Yubi Mountain.
The old people from Zhou Huishan went south in three batches. Lei Zaixiao had not yet established a firm foothold, but the first two batches were developing well and had already become a trend.
But after all, it was a foreign Dragon Crossing the River. Although it could subdue the Jindan Sect, it had enmity with the local Yuanying Sect.
The second group of old people from Zhou Huishan who went south totaled five Yuan Yings, and two of them left later, including Xie Qingxuan.
Nowadays, the vicissitudes of life have changed. One of the three remaining Nascent Souls in the second batch has died of old age, the other is also very old, and only one is still in his prime.
Yubi Mountain is the territory that was occupied, and now a sect has been established, called Zhenyu Sect.
I don’t know why, but for hundreds of years, the Zhenyu Sect has not raised a new Nascent Soul.
Speaking of which, among the descendants of Zhou Huishan's old people who went south, not a single Nascent Soul was raised.
There are Yuanying sects in the northeast and northwest of Zhenyu Sect, and they are all feuding. It is true that they have not been in contact with each other for the rest of their lives, and they even fight from time to time.
Materials are prohibited and personnel are blocked. In the past, there were some casual cultivators who were running orders to earn some spiritual stones, but later on, those two sects issued strict orders, and they had become completely clear and would never have any contact with the Zhenyu Sect.
There is also the Yuanying Sect in the south. They have seen the virtues of the old people in Zhou Huishan and do not associate with the Zhenyu Sect.
Therefore, if Zhenyu Sect wanted to support Wuque Mountain, it had to go in a big circle and guard against being cut off.
It is true that Zhou Huishan was disliked wherever he went.
"It's difficult!" The leader of Zhenyu Sect is named Yuan Jie. He is more than 1,500 years old. He is very kind. After hearing Jiang Xingchi's nonsense, he actually agreed very much, "I have heard of Brother Xiang's name for a long time. Since he has such great ambitions, we, the True Jade Sect, should contribute!”
He talked for a long time and kept complaining. He talked about the difficulties of Zhenyu Sect, how he was surrounded by Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen and couldn't breathe, and how there was no successor in the sect...
After making a fuss for a long time, they actually wanted Jiang Xingchi to go to the Guyang Sect and negotiate with the Qingxin Xuanmen, so that the Zhenyu Sect could take a break and at least allow merchant ships to come and go.
Jiang Xingchi was very persuaded and agreed immediately. Yuan Jie, the leader of the Zhenyu Sect, saw that Jiang Xingchi was easy to talk to, so he pulled Jiang Xingchi in for a detailed chat.
Lin Bai couldn't follow, so he remembered Wang Yueying's letter and asked.
"Wang Yueying's letter to me?" The female cultivator who had been standing behind Yuan Jie stepped forward and bowed, "I am Yuan Qiye."
Lin Bai took out the jade slip and Yuan Qiye took it.
"It's really Wang Yueying's letter." Yuan Qiye thanked Lin Bai first, then held the jade slip in his hand and took out a green leaf. When the jade slip met the green leaf, he could see subtle text rubbings on the green leaf.
After Yuan Qiye finished reading, he put away the green leaves and invited Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to go out for a drink and chat.
This person is honest and answers all questions. If there are secrets involved, people will speak out.
"Ancestor Xie Qingxuan?" After Lin Bai asked about Xie Qingxuan, Yuan Qiye shook his head, "Ancestor Xie also followed my ancestors to the south. He had just had a baby at that time and was in the prime of his youth, but he lacked enterprising spirit. With my heart in my heart, and no family to hold me back, I went to another place.”
"Do you know where you went?" Lin Bai asked with a smile, not forgetting to explain, "I heard from Brother Lei Song that Senior Xie was good at formations, so I was very curious."
"I don't know either." Yuan Qiye still shook his head, "I heard from my ancestor that Xie Xie thinks that the sect and family are a drag, so it is better to travel around. Over the years, he has never had any contact with those of us who have moved south. , and have never heard of his deeds.”
Lin Bai asked again and saw that Yuan Qiye really didn't know, so he stopped asking any more questions.
Since Xie Qingxuan has been in contact with Xiang Wuhui and Gu Qingshan, and Qiaoshan is only six or seven thousand miles away from Wuque Mountain, it is not too far for Yuanying high-level cultivators. And Xie Qingxuan has never met Zhou Huishan's old friends, so it must be that There is another reason.
"What about the other senior in yellow robe?" Lin Bai asked again.
Among the second batch of Wuyuanying who went south, two people left. Xie Qingxuan was one of them, and Taoist Huangpao was the second one.
"Ancestor Huangpao..." Yuan Qiye sighed, "There is an ancestor Huangpao's life lamp at home, but it was extinguished sixty or seventy years ago."
The immortal passed away? Sixty or seventy years ago? Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the golden elixir ancestor of the Miaomiao family.
At that time, the ancestor of the Zhu family was injured outside and died a few years after returning to Fengming Mountain. Later, Gu Qingshan also died.
The reason is that Gu Qingshan took people out.
Upon closer inspection, the time is quite different.
If the two are really related, then it should be Xie Qingxuan and Huangpao Laodao who formed the bureau, and Gu Qingshan and others contributed.
I don’t know whether it was successful or not, but it cost a lot of people.
This trip was really not in vain, Lin Bai was even more looking forward to visiting the Watching Tower.
