Green Mountain, Yilian Temple.
Located on the outskirts of Jiuyao Peak in the southeast of Chu, it is quiet and secluded with few people.
On this day, Lin Shan brought someone to visit him.
The disciples outside the mountain gate had received the message from Luan Chun and greeted them at the door in advance and invited them into the temple.
After walking through the duplex corridor, they finally stopped at the entrance of the arch. The disciple did not dare to go in anymore, but just made a gesture of extending his hand.
Lin Shan walked in with Lin Fan and Brother Ji sitting on his shoulders.
The bamboo forest in the courtyard is deep and the leaves are dancing.
Master Huang Xian and Yan Yuanchun were making tea around the stove and chatting about some interesting things. There were some insects chirping around them, giving them a sense of leisure and elegance.
"You're here."
After so many years, my voice has obviously aged even more.
Lin Shan hurriedly came forward to pay homage. He first paid homage to Master Huang Xian and then to Protector Yan.
The former nodded indifferently, while the latter smiled and pointed to the futon next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.
Lin Fan stood aside in embarrassment because there was no place prepared for him.
Lin Shan quickly introduced:
"Two seniors, this is my brother Lin Fan, come with me this time"
"You know, that boy from Zixiao Sect, right?"
Master Huang Xian took a sip of tea and sneered. When Yan Yuanchun led his team to break out from Donghai in the Song Dynasty, they were surrounded and robbed by the Zixiao Sect. Lin Fan was also in the team at that time and he remembered it clearly.
Later, if Master Huang Xian, who was pretending to be Old Man Zhong, had not stepped forward, I am afraid that this team would have been completely wiped out by the Zixiao Sect!
Lin Fan dug his toes into the ground and almost found a crack in the ground to slip in.
He originally thought that Lin Shan came to visit some Nascent Soul Real King, so he came over to take a look, but who knew it was this old man?
At that time, I was just a little shrimp in the Foundation Establishment stage. After messing around with the Peak Master brothers, I was able to hold it in mind until now. As a Nascent Soul stage, Isn't it stingy?
Yan Yuanchun couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Master Huang Xian.
"Old Huang, how long did it take? Forget it!"
"Why forget it? You forgot that you were almost killed by people from Zixiao Sect."
"Hey, the past is the past, he was just a child at the time."
"Hmph!"
Master Huang Xian didn't look good on Lin Fan. He even gave Lin Shan an unhappy look and scolded him for coming all by himself. Why did he bring someone else with him?
Yan Yuanchun pointed to a place nearby and motioned for Lin Fan to sit over.
Chicken Brother shrank his head, hiding under his wings and not daring to show his head. He lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and pretended to be asleep. At first glance, this old man was not easy to get along with.
When Lin Shan saw the four people sitting down, he expressed his gratitude to Yan Yuanchun.
Last time when the Wild Bear Gang attacked Jin Yao Peak, Protector Yan stepped forward to help Kun Cult overcome the difficulties. After his spiritual opening ceremony was completed, he had gone back long ago, so he was unable to thank him in person, so this time he just made up for it.
"It's okay. If you have this intention, then treat Luan Chun well. When that girl works for you, don't make her suffer! If you let me know that she has been wronged by you, don't blame me for not telling her in advance!"< br>
Yan Yuanchun said this with a serious look on his face, which was a warning to Lin Shan.
"No matter what, Luan Chun is basically one person below ten thousand people with me. I give her all the power in the church. She is also the person I trust the most!"
Lin Shan quickly explained, fearing that Protector Yan would not know the importance of Luan Chun in his place.
"That's not what I'm referring to. Are you pretending to understand or do you really not understand?"
When Yan Yuanchun heard this, he became even more angry when he became a hands-off shopkeeper and left all the dirty work to his beloved disciple!
Master Huang Xian next to him coughed and actually came to the rescue.
"Hey, forget it, let them resolve matters between young people themselves, and we, the older generation, should not get involved."
Lin Shan cast a grateful look over him, Lao Huang was still reliable!
Master Huang Xian gave him a look that meant he would be blessed in the future. He did not dwell too much on this matter, but immediately changed the subject.
"I heard that you seemed to have returned to Song Dynasty later?"
Lin Shan quickly said yes.
"Tell me about the current situation in the Song Dynasty."
Master Huang Xian also has certain feelings for his hometown and wants to get some information from him.
Lin Shan briefly talked about what he had seen and heard in Yichuan before, as well as the battle between the Song Dynasty and Dayan Dynasty, and the destruction of the Black Lotus Sect in southern Xinjiang.
Master Huang Xian just listened quietly. Protector Yan was inevitably sad. Her feelings for the Black Lotus Sect were still very deep, otherwise she would not have chosen the name Yi Lian Temple in the new sect.
"The Yanchun House in Yichuan was later taken over by a new bustard. The operation was pretty good. Although the business was tepid, it was still the largest house in the city."
Lin Shan knew that Protector Yan was a very emotional person, so he told her the story of Yi Chuan again.
Lin Fan also cautiously intervened at this time to convey the situation of the Song Dynasty in recent years.
The two elders listened quite seriously and sighed constantly, lamenting the impermanence of the world.
But now that he has left, there is no point in going back. People in the devil's path will feel far less comfortable in the world of devil's cultivation when they return to the kingdom of righteousness.
"Senior, what have you experienced in these years, can you tell me something to open your eyes to the younger generation?"
Lin Shan was also curious about Master Huang Xian's experience over the years and asked cautiously.
Master Huang Xian did not shy away and told him frankly.
"I actually started looking for life-extending spiritual objects, because although I am now more than 500 years old, my life span was severely depleted because of my improper breakthrough to the realm, and I am now approaching the end of my life."
"Later, I encountered Yuanying-stage monks from both the good and the evil parties chasing and killing the layman Jinglian. This incident caused a lot of commotion in the surrounding area. I investigated and visited for so long but still had no clue, so I simply participated in the pursuit."
"Because I had a confrontation with him when we were in the East China Sea. I know that his dharma appearance is a three-foot green lotus. He is good at wood-based health care. He may have a life-extending elixir."
"It's a pity that this old guy kept a low profile during the Song Dynasty in Donghai, but he didn't expect to become so public when he came here!"
"Of course, it seems that there is a pair of invisible hands in the secret, constantly tracking his position and inducing many Nascent Soul Stage monks to come. Even if everyone notices it, they will take advantage of it."
"The old guy became more and more courageous as he fought alone. He had already killed seven Nascent Souls on the road. However, in comparison, many people retreated midway, and there were more and more people chasing him."
It was the first time that Lin Shan heard the inside story about Jinglian, and he knew in his heart that he was indeed the reincarnation of the Immortal Inspector of the Upper Realm!
Being hunted by so many people of the same level in the lower world, and being plotted by secret enemies, it was only normal that he could survive for so many years and still fight back from time to time.
It is understandable that Master Huang Xian suspects that Jinglian Jinglian has a life-extending spiritual substance.
Because when he was in the Song Dynasty, he once attended the birthday banquet of Guizhen during his qi training period. At that time, Jinglian layman was already famous in the East China Sea and had been a powerful figure in the world of cultivation for 500 years!
Counting the two or three hundred years of obscurity before breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, it stands to reason that he should have reached the end of his lifespan long ago.
But now two decades have passed, and I am still going strong, traveling around the world, and living well!
Even if you maintain good health, you won’t be so energetic, right?
Therefore, many people are chasing him because they want to know the secret of his longevity. Maybe his skills or secret techniques really have heaven-defying effects.
Of course, more people still come for the so-called magic weapon "Hyacinth", fearing that he will use this thing to control and change the pattern of the cultivation world.
"Later I saw more and more people, and realized that I couldn't profit from it, so I simply walked away."
"Some people found out that Jinglian Jinglian also had a disciple named Xiong Shan, so they came back to arrest this person and planned to blackmail Jinglian Jinglian." "I am old and don't have many more years to live. Why not come back and spend time with Yuanchun. After all these years It’s my fault that she has suffered so much and is helpless”
At this point, the old man actually became affectionate!
"Bah!"
Lin Shan, Lin Fan, and Brother Ji cursed inwardly at the same time.
I just want to accompany you now. What did you do earlier?
Fortunately, Yan Yuanchun was reasonable and endured the suffering. If it had been anyone else, he would have been filled with resentment!
You disappeared for such a long time at every turn. Which woman followed you and stayed alone in an empty room all day long. She looked the same with and without you. What a bad luck!
Master Huang Xian also knew that he owed too much, so he sighed and regretted endlessly.
However, Protector Yan patted him very gently, and she was very content to be reunited now.
It is not difficult to imagine that Luan Chun's character is passed down just like his master.
Lin Shan was silent.
He had actually felt for a long time that Master Huang Xian had always had a sense of urgency. He was busy here and there all day long without knowing what he was doing. It turned out that he was doing it to extend his life.
When there was really nothing to do, he simply spent his last moments to make up for the woman who had been waiting for him all his life.
Protector Yan's face was filled with a bright smile, and happiness materialized at this moment. Her wish was really simple, just to be reunited, it was worth waiting no matter how long.
"I still have less than half a century to live. Whatever you want to do, feel free to venture out. I can help you with the Kun Cult here in Chu State to take care of you secretly. Nothing will go wrong in a short time."
< br>
Master Huang Xian encouraged Lin Shan at this time when he was old. With his level of cultivation at his age, he had a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future, so he must pay more attention to safety when going out.
In the year of Wanhui, there are indeed many more opportunities than usual.
"It's a good time for you! What a pity, if I were born hundreds of years later"
Master Huang Xian sighed in the distance, his eyes full of confusion and melancholy.
It is not difficult to imagine that his qualifications must have been unparalleled in the world at the beginning. Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage as a casual cultivator is something that many people would not even dare to imagine.
It's a pity that the hero languishes in his twilight years, regenerates his hair early, and returns to his homeland in a bottle.
"I came at a bad time."
He held Protector Yan's hand, his old face blooming like a chrysanthemum.
After visiting the two elders, the three said goodbye and left.
On the way, Lin Fan looked hesitant, and Brother Ji asked him why he was like this.
Lin Fan answered frankly:
"To tell you the truth, I actually have a life-extending elixir. Although I feel the friendship between them, I didn't want to take out the elixir just now because I wasn't very familiar with them."
Even if he takes it out, Huang Xianshi will never let him suffer, and will definitely exchange it for something of equal value.
But the preciousness of something like a life-extending elixir lies in its ability to preserve value.
Everyone is reluctant to hand it over after getting it, thinking that if they get old, they will try it to see if it can change their fate.
Anyway, it’s okay to be prepared!
Brother Ji understood his approach very well and said that if it were him, he would hide it and not take it out. There is no need to give it to someone he just met.
Lin Shan was even more upset after hearing this. He didn't expect that Master Huang Xian didn't want to see Lin Fan so much, and that this guy actually had such thoughts.
"Actually, alas, I also have a life-extending elixir."
He also obtained the fifth-level elixir Qionlin Star Moss in the Yuxing Secret Treasures. This thing has been verified by the enhanced panel and can extend his life by a full four decades!
That is two hundred and forty years!
If it were an ordinary life-extending elixir, he would have given it away without even thinking about it, but this medicine was so precious that he couldn't help but keep it for himself. After all, people are prone to misfortune and good fortune, and no one can predict when they get old.
This is also due to his selfishness, and most people would be reluctant to part with it!
But thinking that Master Huang Xian had saved him before, if he was really on his deathbed, he might not be able to sit idly by.
"That's all, there's still half a century left"
With a heavy heart, Lin Shan took one last look behind him. In the distant Green Ling Mountain, he imagined that Master Huang Xian and Protector Yan might be playing the harp, drinking wine and playing chess.
Be a carefree couple.
One month later.
"Are we in the right place?"
Brother Ji lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and looked around. They had been going back and forth here for a long time, wandering around like headless flies.
"That's right, isn't it? It's half an hour and eighty thousand miles northwest of the cliff forbidden area. Isn't it right here?"
Lin Shan fiddled with the virtual astrolabe, constantly correcting the position, and the pointer made a crisp sound.
It might be more difficult for someone who doesn't understand astrology and arithmetic, but for a virtual astrology chart this is not a big problem.
Just then, a woodcutter passed by below, carrying a hatchet and a basket, humming folk songs and walking on the mountain path. It was so pleasant.
Lin Shan and others descended directly, and Brother Ji was the first to question:
"Old man, do you know where Zhabagong is?"
The woodcutter's eyes widened, his mouth opened and he couldn't speak. He pointed at Brother Chicken and nodded tremblingly.
"Monster, monster!"
With a pop, the basket rolled down and he fainted to the ground!
Lin Fan gave it a complaining look, thinking it was too quick to talk and meddle in other people's business.
"Can't you just stop talking and let us ask?"
"Oh oh oh, let me ask what's wrong!"
The two began to quarrel again and never stopped on the road.
Lin Shan stepped forward directly, kicked the guy, and made a cold sound.
"Okay, stop pretending, get up, I want to ask you something!"
The woodcutter lay motionless on the ground.
Lin Shan drew the knife directly!
"Oh no, I said, I said, Master, spare your life!"
This guy stood up suddenly and quickly bowed down. Happy was too busy to answer with a smile on his face.
"The master is asking about Zhabagong. The entire area here, including the mountains in front of us, belongs to Zhabagon. You are already here!"
Lin Shan asked again:
"Then do you know there is a village nearby?"
"Uh"
The woodcutter paused, his eyes began to wander, and he hesitated without making any sound.
Lin Shan directly lifted the man's back collar.
"Let's go, lead the way!"
"Oh no, it hurts."
