Chapter 323: Time to run away
Suppressing the excitement in his chest, Lin Bai followed Wu Muqian to the temple at the foot of Longevity Mountain.
Previously, when Jiang Xingchi first arrived at Shoutian Pavilion, it was here that he paid homage to the Yuhu Ancestor.
Nowadays, Wanshou Mountain is as usual, the ice and cold are gone, and it has regained its fairy-like appearance.
When I came to the temple, I couldn't see any clay statues or tablets for worship. It was extremely empty.
Just when I was about to ask, I remembered that this temple was built by Zhou Huishan and is now used by Shoutian Pavilion.
While Lin Bai was thinking, he felt the mist moving, and then he couldn't help himself. In a daze, he had landed on the ground.
I saw thick clouds and mist all around, as if I was in the water.
This is an image of spiritual energy as rich as water. When you are in it, your whole body feels extremely comfortable from the inside out, as if you are doing nothing and not delaying your practice.
Lin Bai thought to himself, if the ordinary golden elixir stayed here for a long time, it would be detrimental to his practice!
There are three stone platforms in front. On the middle stone platform sits an old cultivator with drooped white eyebrows and a sparse beard reaching to his chest.
The old man closed his eyes slightly, wore a linen robe, and had a white jade Ruyi in his left hand.
On both sides of the old man, there is a pair of young men and women sitting cross-legged. They are both in Shoutian Pavilion uniform. Their auras are unknown, and they should be in the Nascent Soul realm.
Lin Bai had already inquired with Wu Muqian, and guessed that these three people should be the three new Yuanyings from the Northern Wasteland. The one in the middle is the old Yuanying Kong Shu, and the men and women on both sides are Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi.
Two eyes glared at Lin Bai unscrupulously, as if they wanted to see everything from the inside out.
Faintly, Lin Bai felt that there was a bit of murderous intent in these two eyes. But it was not for himself, but for these two people who had just experienced a killing.
Wu Muqian stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "Ancestor, the Qiaoshan Forest Wheel has been brought."
"Qiao Shan Lin Zhuan Lun, I'm going to pay my respects to the three seniors." Lin Bai lowered his body and looked extremely honest.
The young man and woman didn't say anything, they just raised their eyes and looked at Lin Bai.
The old Yuanying Kong Shu opened his eyes, his beard trembled slightly, and said: "No need to be polite." He held the jade Ruyi in his hand and said with a smile: "My little friend has succeeded in tempering the body, which means the harmony of the Hunyuan, which can be seen in the East China Sea. What a genius. You raise your head."
Lin Bai obeyed and raised his head.
The eyes of the old Yuanying Kong Shu were chaotic, like a dry stream, his face was skinny and fleshless, and his hands were like chicken claws grasping the white jade Ruyi.
He looked at it carefully, smiled kindly, and said, "I heard that you are from the Gu family in Qiaoshan. I wonder what Daoist friend Gu's level is?"
"Ancestor Gu gave birth to a baby not long ago, and he is only in the early stage now." Lin Bai replied.
"I heard that the Lord of Qiaoshan Xiangwuhuandao is the most accomplished person and is said to be the first person to become a god. Is this true?" The male cultivator Chi Shangxing suddenly asked.
You ask me, who am I asking?
Lin Bai leaned over and saluted, and said: "This junior is in a low realm and lacks vision. How can we know the level of Ancestor Xiang? However, Ancestor Xiang has reached the late stage of Yuanying. Between Qiaoshan, Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain, Always called the first person.”
Chi Shangxing sneered and said no more.
But Zou Mi became interested and asked, "I heard that Xiang Wuhui, Yin Wuqing and Yun Wujiu had received the inheritance from Taoist Master Wuxiang. Is this true or false?"
Lin Bai was speechless. These Shoutian Pavilion monks were arrogant and arrogant. They had been coming to Zhouhuishan for so many years, but they did not inquire about the outside world and did not bother to go south to make friends. They only used the ground as a prison to turn the Shen Sect into a lonely and self-admiring dream. .
"I have heard some rumors, but I don't know the details," Lin Bai asked.
Zou Mi was still about to ask, but Kong Shu raised Ruyi's head and signaled not to ask any more questions.
"Little friend." Kong Shu didn't look domineering. He might have become a mature man. He only had a amiable look and asked, "I heard that I am gathering the power of several Nascent Souls to my fellow Taoist to surround and kill Lu Hai in Jiuyin Mountain." Guest, is this true? ”
"It's true!" Lin Bai said immediately.
Kong Shu nodded slightly, stopped talking, and asked again: "I heard that further south from Qiaoshan, there is a sandy land with thousands of valleys, and then there is the Daoyin Sect. This Daoyin Sect has a new Yuanying, who is called Tian Man, have you ever seen this person?”
"This junior has traveled to Daoyin Sect and Jiuzhe Mountain. I was fortunate enough to listen to Chen Tianren's sermons and benefited a lot." Lin Bai said.
"What kind of person is he?" Kong Shu asked with a smile.
Lin Bai pondered for a while and said: "When I first met Chen Tianren, I didn't feel anything was different. Then every time I think about it, I feel that no one can compare to him."
As soon as these words came out, Kong Shu was silent, and Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi looked at each other.
After a long time, the old Nascent Soul Kong Shu spoke slowly and said: "The East China Sea is, after all, the Taoist Master Wuxiang's dojo. Although it has fallen away for a long time, its legacy continues and talents emerge in large numbers."
He looked at Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi and said with a smile: "Xia Yufeng and others feel that they are superior to others, but they are just borrowing the power of the Yuhu Ancestor, so they can't help but sit in a well and look at the sky."
Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi both nodded in agreement.
Lin Bai lowered his head and did not dare to participate in San Yuan Ying's gossip, but kept thinking in his heart.
Fragments of the stone plate appear in the world, and I feel a sense of longing in my heart, but I don't know where the fragments are.
But the old man in front of him has returned to his original nature, and his chest is full of valleys. He is afraid that the atmosphere of Shouting Pavilion will change.
"You are already at the second level of the golden elixir at a young age, and you have also practiced the method of body tempering. The gourd around your waist also has an extraordinary appearance. It shows that fellow Taoist Gu loves you very much." Kong Shu touched the white jade Ruyi and asked kindly: "I heard ebony Qian said, are you a alchemist by training, and you also practice formations?”
"This junior was born as a casual cultivator. With the help of the Zhu family of Qiaoshan, he was able to make a living by refining alchemy. Later, he was supported by Patriarch Gu and taught him the art of formation." Lin Bai bowed his head humbly and saluted, "It's just that this junior is stupid and has just tried it."< br>
"The people of Qiaoshan are indeed humble and polite." Kong Shu stroked his beard and smiled, "I like you very much, but do you have a Taoist partner?"
"This junior got acquainted with the Taoist companion before she entered Taoism. Now she is practicing in her hometown." Lin Bai said.
Kong Shu nodded and took out a bottle of elixir.
"This is my Shouting Pavilion Ice Marrow Pill. It is most beneficial for Golden Pill monks to break through the small realm. If people who have been tempering their bodies all year round take this pill, the effect will be even better." Old Nascent Soul Kong Shu said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior!" Lin Bai took it respectfully.
"Zhouhui Mountain is vast and has many spiritual places. You can practice here for the time being. When the affairs in the mountain are over, you can write a letter for me to fellow Taoist Xiang." Kong Shu said.
"Yes." Lin Bai immediately agreed, and then said: "Senior Jiang of my humble sect followed Head Xia of your noble sect to capture Xie Qingxuan. Senior Jiang was always under the guidance of Ancestor before and after he gave birth to a baby. Why didn't Senior Jiang send a message to Senior Jiang? ”
"He is him, and I am a fellow Taoist." Kong Shu didn't say much, waving his hands, "I don't have much time left, I have to meet with an expert before I die."
After finishing speaking, before Lin Bai could salute, the white jade in his hand moved lightly, and a breeze stirred up the spiritual energy like water, sweeping Lin Bai away.
For a time, only Sanyuanying and Wu Muqian's golden elixir remained on the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain. "Xia Yufeng and Yu Liushan seem to look down on the people in the East China Sea, but in fact they are afraid in their hearts. Although Wu Muchun has the intention of innovation, he is old and has weak morals and has no means. Moreover, he has lost the most precious treasure in his family, which is embarrassing."< br>
Kong Shu turned his hand and took out a scroll, shook his head slightly and said: "The three of them seemed to have a firm footing, but in fact, without the Yuhu Patriarch, they are nothing. Wu Muchun at least gave a detailed explanation of the sects in the East China Sea, but he did not go there in person. Check it out and find out the details.”
"Senior brother, what should we do now?" Young Yuan Yingchi asked with a frown.
"Xia Yufeng wanted to raise a few Nascent Souls first, consolidate the foundation, and then recruit outsiders. But Wu Muchun wanted to bring in outsiders first and join them as members of the Shoutian Pavilion." Kong Shu sighed, "But now Zhou Huishanjiu When people leave, there will be countless casualties. Even if we obey for a while, it is just because our ancestors are here. Fortunately, we have a strong foundation and will not have to worry about the old people in Zhou Huishan for a thousand years. "
"But Xia Yufeng and others have been migrating south for many years. Zhouhui Mountain is a treasure land, but there has never been a Nascent Soul... How can it be born if it goes on for a long time?" Zou Mi said.
Kong Shu pondered for a long time and said: "It is so difficult to prove the Tao Yuanying. Qualifications are secondary, the state of mind is indispensable, and opportunities are also indispensable. First there was Gu Qingshui in Qiaoshan, then Jiang Xingchi, and there was another person in Daoyin Sect. Earlier, Chen Zhiyuan, there was also a new recruit in Jiuzhe Mountain. The old man from Zhou Huishan had no time to spare due to the continuous war and was not in a good mood, so I, the people in Shoutian Pavilion, have not seen the new Nascent Soul for a long time. , why? ”
He looked at Wu Muqian and asked: "Can Xia Yufeng and Wu Muchun always guide those who are expected to advance in the sect?"
"Of course there are." Wu Muqian lowered his head and replied, "There are seventeen people in the family who are expected to have a baby, and they are all excellent seeds. The previous Xia Fenyi was also expected to have a baby, but he was assassinated by Xie Qingxuan. ”
Kong Shu sighed and said: "That's because Xia Fenyi doesn't have this fate, so he can't blame others. But -"
When he said this, his chaotic eyes suddenly glowed, "Xie Qingxuan must be killed. This is to frighten Xiao Xiao, and it is in the name of guarding Tiange! As for the person who stole the most precious treasure from my sect... the other party has obviously been planning for a long time, and he also knows The prohibition imposed by the ancestor will leave no trace, and it is definitely not a person from the East China Sea, or someone from his hometown! ”
As soon as these words came out, Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi both looked a little ugly.
"Senior brother, what is missing?" Zou Mi asked in a low voice.
"A treasure that will help you advance to become a god." Kong Shu said.
Proving the Nascent Soul is already difficult and difficult. If you go one step further, it will be even more difficult than climbing to the sky. If there is a treasure that can help a little bit to transform the divine thunder tribulation, it is also a priceless treasure!
Zou Mi's breathing was a little rapid, and Chi Shangxing clenched his fists and remained silent.
Wu Muqian was dumbfounded. He didn't hear what the old Nascent Soul Kong Shu said at all.
"Take it!" Kong Shu threw out a token, "Anyone in the family who is expected to have a baby, if you have any doubts, you can come to see me to clear up your doubts; if you are slow to enter the country, you can travel abroad, but you must be polite. Don’t indulge, let alone bully others!”
"Yes!" Wu Muqian took the token and was very happy knowing that he had hugged Kong Shu's lap.
"The door needs to be rectified, the spiritual land and the spiritual field must not be abandoned, and the teaching of various arts must be done with care. The vision needs to be broader. I, Shouting Pavilion, am an outsider. There is no need to cling to the shortcomings and change according to the times. There are many ordinary people. Give birth to more children!" Kong Shu issued orders repeatedly, "The attack on Xie Qingxuan cannot be postponed. I will go south to Qiaoshan to meet the first person under the Transformation God, and see the so-called Chen Tianren again. Is the name exaggerated? ”
Having said this, Kong Shu looked at Wu Muqian again and said: "Wu Muchun is incompetent and has returned to his hometown. You are prudent and flexible, and your cultivation is good. You should do things with good intentions. I have no descendants. In the future, You are my disciple.”
Wu Muqian was so excited that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Okay, I accept this gift from my master." Kong Shu smiled and said, "Go down and do your work."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves slightly, and a gust of wind blew by, carrying Wu Muqian down the mountain.
There were only three Yuan Yings left in the blessed land. Kong Shu pondered for a long time and said: "The blessed land of Wanshou Mountain is not inferior to my hometown. In order to maintain the formation, Yuhu Patriarch has no separation. You two are the seeds of the future. There is no need to worry about the affairs of the family. Everything is Focus on practice. ”
"I certainly understand what senior brother said." Chi Shangxing immediately agreed and said: "But there are many new Nascent Souls in the East China Sea, and Xiang Wuhui is just a hair away. We have to guard against them."
< br>
"With the base of the land of no return and no blessing, how can we go further? If he goes outside the territory, he will not know the way and it will be difficult to achieve anything. For the current plan, he can only come to us." Kong Shu pressed the white jade Ruyi and sneered again and again. , "If the ancestor was here, we would be able to help people achieve enlightenment. But now that the ancestor is not here, we can only prevent people from becoming enlightened."
"Since he is called the number one person under the Transformation God, he must be close to breaking through. The appointment of Jiang Xingchi to help Xia Yufeng shows that he is testing our intentions." Zou Mi said.
"That's true." Kong Shu nodded slightly, "Xiang Wuhui and others surrounded and killed Lu Haike. They were really capable and well-planned. Even if our ancestors in Shouting Pavilion left, in terms of momentum, Qiaoshan can't In contrast, Xiang Wuhui can only bow his head and ask. There is no possibility of him making further progress, just wait and see."
Chi Shangxing and Zou Mi were obviously led by Kong Shu, and they were as obedient as their disciples.
Sanyuanying is planning big things in the family, and Lin Bai has not left at the foot of Longevity Mountain.
The fragments of the stone plate rustled, indicating a longing for home.
Lin Bai was absolutely certain that the other fragment was in Wanshou Mountain!
After a long time, Wu Muqian was also sent down.
"Brother Ebony!" Lin Bai was very happy.
Wu Muqian also changed from the previous decadence and became cheerful.
"Senior brother, today I was able to see the divine appearance of a high-ranking cultivator from outside the realm and see the wonders of this blessed land. Junior brother, I am really heartbroken!" Lin Bai grabbed Wu Muqian's sleeve and whispered: "Senior brother, if I have any doubts about my cultivation in the future, can you please ask me for advice? Senior Kong.”
"My master loves to support the underachievers, so it's easy to talk about it!" Wu Muqian said with a smile.
"Master?" Lin Bai was curious.
"The ancestor just now accepted me as his disciple!" Wu Muqian smiled and took out a token and muttered something about me being respected in the future.
Lin Bai congratulated him repeatedly, but Wu Muqian put on a serious attitude and said such nonsense as saying that he should contribute more to the sect.
The two of them chatted for a few words, and then a ray of light suddenly appeared from the sky.
When it fell to the ground, it was a beautiful cultivator.
"Junior sister Yu, why are you back?" Wumu Qian smiled gently, grabbed Lin Bai again, and introduced: "This is Qiaoshan Lin Zhuanlun. I came with Senior Jiang. You must have seen it. This is the descendant of Patriarch Yu. Yu Xianping.”
Lin Bai quickly saluted, but Yu Xianping just pretended not to see it, and did not look at Wu Muqian's face. She only said coldly: "Ancestor Kong is on the mountain? I have something to report!"
"Master, he is naturally on the mountain, and Patriarch Chi and Patriarch Zou are also there." Wumu Qian was not angry when he saw Yu Xianping refuting his own face in front of outsiders, but his tone was much colder.
"Master...Master?" Yu Xianping was stunned for a moment. She bit her lower lip and saluted Wu Muqian and said, "Senior brother, please tell me, I have something important to report."
"But Xie Qingxuan has been executed?" Wu Muqian asked with a smile.
"That's not true." Na Yu Xianping glanced at Lin Bai, and then said: "The ancestor went to Jiuzhe Mountain, and asked me to ask the ancestor Kong to move."
"If you leave Xie Qingxuan alone, why go to Jiuzhe Mountain?" Wu Muqian was puzzled.
Yu Xianping shook her head and said: "I don't know either. It seems that it is a great thing to be related to the relics of Wuxiang Taoist Master."
"..." Wu Muqian didn't dare to ask anymore, and immediately pulled Yu Xianping up the mountain, then turned back and nodded to Lin Bai, "Brother, please go back first."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded, but he felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that it would be too late if he didn't escape!
