Chapter 401 Departure
The atmosphere in the room was gloomy.
Elder Tiegong’s forehead was dripping with sweat, and he summoned A Chou midway.
If Elder Qi really decides to take action, of course he cannot sit still and wait for death.
Qi Zhentao glanced at everyone in the room and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, Elder Tie, it's just a joke, why are you so nervous?"
"Clan Leader Lan, you should also relax."
"Whether the Black Bamboo Secret Realm is open or not is just a rumor. ."
"There are only rumors that someone has seen the Black Jade Bamboo Festival, but it is not yet known whether it is true or not."
"It's getting late, you should rest early"
"Let's find a quiet place nearby to meditate and practice to prevent the female devil from coming back again."
After he said that, he turned around and left. Shang Tianti and Qi Fangfang hurriedly followed.
The group of people left the courtyard, and Shang Tianti whispered beside him - Elder Qi, we are here to participate in the Lanhe Golden Elixir Ceremony this time.
In addition, I was asked by the leader to find information about Moyu Bamboo Festival. Who knew that Elder Tiegong was not good at cultivation, but he was so knowledgeable. Is it inappropriate to leak the information at this moment?
Qi Zhentao said proudly with his hands behind his back and an aura of absolute confidence blooming all over his body.
"I understand what you mean."
"But Elder Tie is from the Gushan Sect, and the Gushan Sect has always been our ally."
"How can you tell the alliance just because you don't know the true or false news? Surgery?"
"Besides, the secret realm is really open, and only masters of the Golden Core and above can enter it."
"In the entire Chu Kingdom, I am the only one with the Golden Core of the Lingyun Sect. Having the most masters must be the biggest benefit that our Lingyun Sect can gain.”
"Don't worry!"
Shang Tianti was unhappy - Elder Qi was too trusting.
The last time the secret realm was opened a thousand years ago, the Tianmen Sect, the number one sect in the Chu Kingdom, suffered heavy losses, and the Lingyun Sect took advantage of the situation to rise.
At that time, Lingyun Sect and Tianmen Sect were as powerful as Gushan Sect and Lingyun Sect today.
Who can guarantee that history will not repeat itself?
However, this trip was mainly led by Qi Zhentao. They conducted covert inspections all the way, but did not find the black jade bamboo knot. The news that the secret realm may be opened may be just a rumor, and it is not worth offending Elder Qi for such an uncertain matter.
So he kept silent and chose silence.
Shang Tianti turned to look at Qi Fangfang, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes - Fangfang, why haven't you completed the foundation building yet?
If you complete the foundation building as soon as possible and become my cauldron, and we practice the dual cultivation method of bliss together, I can hope to break the Nascent Soul within a hundred years.
When Qi Fangfang saw her lover looking at her, she couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
Qi Zhentao, who was walking in front, seemed to be able to see the little movements of the two of them and coughed.
"Fangfang, those people you met today were your classmates, right?"
"I remember you said that among these people, there was a senior brother named Lu. He is extremely talented."
"It is expected to hit the foundation within ten years. Now that ten years have passed, do you have any news about him?"
Qi Fangfang replied hurriedly.
"Great-grandfather, I haven't contacted them for a long time."
"A few days ago, during the Jinshashan Lan Patriarch's Golden Elixir Ceremony, we met a few times and chatted a few times."
"They said that Senior Brother Lu has been traveling around the world and has not been heard from for many years."
Shang Tianti snorted coldly.
“If you can build a foundation within the age of fifty, you can be considered a talent.”
"However, the road to immortality is long, and the people who die most on the way are talents."
"If he is alive, just building a foundation will mean nothing to me, Lingyun Sect."
Lingyun The sect is a large Nascent Soul sect. There are more than ten golden elixirs in the sect, and there are even more foundation-level monks, which is really nothing.
Shang Tianti flicked his fingers.
"If he is unlucky and dies, he is just a pile of loess. Who cares?"
"Fangfang, after you return to the mountain, you should concentrate on your cultivation and achieve foundation building as soon as possible."
Qi Fangfang responded hurriedly, feeling a little sweet in her heart. This Taoist couple of hers seemed to be jealous.
Although she has no romantic feelings towards Senior Brother Lu, she feels faintly proud of being able to make the fellow Taoist more nervous about her.
Qi Fangfang possesses the hidden spiritual root - Fulong.
This kind of spiritual root is of little use to your own personal cultivation.
However, if you practice with a Taoist companion, your Taoist partner will greatly increase the chance of success in breaking through the great realm, and then the Taoist partner will feed back your magic power, and those with Fulong spiritual roots will also make great progress in their cultivation.
It has effects on Nascent Soul and below, so this spiritual root is called Fulong, which means it can help the dragon ascend to the blue clouds and break through the shackles.
Of course, Fulong Linggen monk himself cannot be too weak.
Shang Tianti has calculated that he is now an intermediate level Golden Elixir and will definitely hit Nascent Soul within a hundred years.
The sooner Qi Fangfang completes foundation building and his dual cultivation, the greater his chance of success will be.
Qi Zhentao, who was walking in front, turned to look at the shy look on his great-granddaughter's face, feeling disdainful. Then he glanced at Shang Tianti, with a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.
How could the Qi family give birth to such a confused great-granddaughter? She still had the Fulong Spiritual Root in her body.
Is God blind?
There are so many smart girls in my Qi family, but I chose this girl instead.
“No matter what, everyone gets what they need.”
"I don't care about their affairs."
"I will need Shang Tianti to support the Qi family in a hundred years. Shang Tianti wants to achieve Nascent Soul as soon as possible so that he can finalize the successor to the head."
"Qi Fangfang...this idiot just wants to have love. As long as I am not dead and her spiritual roots are not dead, Shang Tianti will give her love."
"I will wait for my Qi family one day. If she is no longer valuable, she will be ruthlessly abandoned."
"Stupid great-granddaughter, it's not good to like someone, but to fall in love with such a cold-blooded person."
It turns out that Qi Zhentao was robbed when he went out and was forced to live in solitary confinement when he came back.
With good luck, I recovered my cultivation, broke through, and regained control of the Qi family.
Several things happened in the Qi family before and after he went into seclusion.
Qi Fangfang and other immortal cultivating seedlings were robbed; ten years later, Qi Fangfang escaped again; during this period, the Qi family was in trouble, several foundations were damaged, and the Jindan ancestor was closed. With life or death hanging in the balance, the Qi family was almost in despair.
Qi Fangfang escaped back and used the Qi sign to send several of her fellow apprentices who were taken to the Xuanmo Sect in Heikoku Mountain with her to become disciples of the Gushan Sect.
In addition, Qi Fangfang also went to find her fiancé Shang Tianti. Although Shang was willing to meet, he was a little vague and no longer enthusiastic.
Qi Fangfang only said that she was robbed for ten years and fell into a den of thieves. It was difficult to prove her innocence. Her face was also disfigured. She thought she was rejected by Taoists. She was so traumatized that she was busy preparing medicine with amethyst flowers every day to recover. Appearance, the whole expression of a nymphomaniac.
It wasn't until Qi Zhentao came out beyond everyone's expectation that Shang Tianti changed his attitude towards Qi Fangfang and became passionate again.
At this time, Qi Fangfang's face was repaired, and she thought it was her. Relying on her beauty to win back her lover's heart.
Qi Zhentao is a mature man.
Comparing the before and after, it is clear that Shang Tianti believed that the Qi family could not help him without Qi Zhentao, so he deliberately distanced himself.
Not sure, he also thought about wanting Qi Fangfang to be the cauldron, but not giving the other party the status of a Taoist companion, taking advantage of everything without taking any responsibility.
It was only after Qi Zhentao came out of seclusion and the Qi family started to tremble again that Shang Tianti became enthusiastic about Qi Fangfang again.
Qi Zhentao sighed again in his heart.
“Oh my God!”
"Why was this Fulong Spirit Root given to such a confused woman?"
"There are so many smart women in my Qi family, who can't be given to it? It's enough to have a clear-headed woman to cooperate." Recruiting a son-in-law for my Qi family will be enough to support the Qi family’s peace for hundreds of years after my death!” Shang Tianti's mind was full of calculations, and he quickly disappeared into the night.
In the paper yard.
When Elder Tiegong saw Qi Zhentao and others leaving, he immediately let out a sigh of relief and sweat poured out from his head.
He bowed to Lu Ye.
"Benefactor!"
"If you hadn't taken action today, Pindao and several of his disciples would have died in the hands of that female devil."
" Elder Qi was here just now, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his body. If you hadn't been there, I really don't know how it would have ended."
"Don't dare to forget the grace of saving your life. If something happens to the Lan family in the future, all you need is a flying letter. I, Mr. Tie, will not dare to neglect me!"
"Don't think I am useless, but the Tie family is in Gushan. Paizhong is also a big family and can do a lot of things."
Lu Ye rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
“Elder Tie, don’t be discouraged.”
“The world is so big that there are no wonders.”
"Maybe I need a treasure to heal you and repair the broken Qi sea."
Elder Tie Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Alas, how can there be such a magical treasure in this world? Even if there is, I can't live to enjoy it."
Lu Ye smiled and said if there is no such magical treasure in this world, is there any in the secret realm? Woolen cloth?
Elder Tiegong looked solemn, knowing that Lu Ye had deliberately turned the topic to the Black Bamboo Secret Realm.
He hesitated for a moment and waved Wang Hu, Pan Furong and others who were standing beside him to step back. "Fellow Daoist Lan, if you hadn't saved my life today, I would never have told you anything."
"You saw it just now. Qi Zhentao has some doubts about this news. How taboo."
"The last time the Black Bamboo Secret Realm was opened was a thousand years ago. According to records, it was more than 1,500 years ago. The further we go, the longer it takes."< br>
“This secret realm is unique in that it does not have a fixed opening. Instead, before it is opened, some ink jade bamboo segments will be sprayed out from the void from time to time.”
"This bamboo knot is about the size of a palm, and its entire body is black and moist like jade, and its material is unknown."
"Then when a certain moment comes, the secret realm will be fully opened, and the bamboo knot will pull the holder into the secret realm."
“Whether you are in this world, in the sky, south or north, or in the cave formation, you cannot avoid it.”
“This festival will only lead monks below Nascent Soul into the secret realm.”
“However, the secret realm is extremely dangerous. There are many ferocious beasts and savage natives. There are also several famous time and space turbulences. Anyone who accidentally steps into it will definitely die.”
"If you go in to practice Qi and build the foundation, you will die. Only the golden elixir has the power to save your life."
"Of course, there are rich specialties in it, and there are many treasures that are lacking in this world."
"Thousands of years ago, The leader of the Chu Kingdom, Yuan Ying of the Chu Tianmen Sect, and a group of golden elixir masters were trapped in the secret realm. Later, the Lingyun Sect took advantage of the situation."
Elder Tiegong coughed a few times and continued.
“Old Ancestor Lan, thank you for your helping hand and saving a few of our masters and disciples.”
"I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, but it's a bit presumptuous to say it."
"This secret realm of ink bamboo is very dangerous. If you get the ink bamboo knot in the future, you must give it up. This is not a good place."
"In addition, this junior has the audacity to make a request. I would like to ask Patriarch Lan to escort us back to the Gushan Sect. The humble sect will definitely thank you very much."
Lu Ye smiled and thanked him first. Elder Tiegong reminded them of his kindness, and quickly agreed to escort everyone back to the Gushan Sect.
After all, Mo Ruyan's attack was because of Wang Hu and others. For the safety of his sworn brother and Furong, even if Elder Tiegong didn't mention it, he would escort everyone back to the Gushan Sect.
Elder Tiegong was seriously injured. When he saw Lu Ye quickly agreeing, he felt relieved and the anger he had been holding up was gone.
He soon fell asleep out of energy.
Lu Ye's long robe shook, and more than a dozen talismans flew out, sealing off the surrounding area of the courtyard to block the prying eyes of outside monks.
A layer of magic circle was painted around Elder Tiegong to ensure that he slept soundly and did not hear any movement from left to right.
He then wiped his face, took off the bark mask, and his body squirmed.
Soon he changed from a middle-aged elegant Taoist back to his true self.
"Ms. sir... I thought we were going to be separated from each other today." Pan Furong couldn't help it anymore and threw herself forward, tears welling up in her eyes.
The two have been separated for five years. They finally met at Jinsha Mountain a few days ago, but they didn't dare to look at each other too much for fear of exposing their flaws.
Now that everyone in the yard is her own, she finally doesn’t have to worry.
Lu Ye hugged the beauty into his arms and said with a smile.
"Okay, Furong, don't cry."
"Aren't we all doing well?"
"Yizhang Qing is not such a crybaby."
< br>Pan Furong gradually stopped crying. The tears she shed were not because of fear, but because of lovesickness.
I haven’t had a serious day together in the past twenty years. Even if I was rescued from the Demon Kingdom, I would only be on the saddle of a gray donkey and could not stay in the arms of my own man for only a moment.
Longing was like a rope, tightly wrapping her body and soul. Now that they were reunited, she wished they could be tied together tightly and never be separated again.
"Brother..." Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu also greeted Lu Ye.
“Fortunately you arrived in time,” Wang Hu said with a frightened look on his face, “I don’t know what kind of female devil is in the magic cloud.” "A poisonous hand."
Zhang Cunyi also had lingering fears.
"Yeah, he crushed us all with just one finger."
"The iron umbrella has insufficient defense. I used the foundation-building corpse-refining corpse given by my elder brother to block it, but we were all crushed by the opponent. . ”
“If I hadn’t been trying to play cat-and-mouse, I might not have had time to rescue him.”
Shu Chitu touched his leg and said with a wry smile.
“It’s so scary, my legs are still shaking.”
"But speaking of it, brothers, the magic cloud condensed into palms today. Why does this technique look familiar?"
Lu Ye sneered.
"Of course it looks familiar."
"We are meeting old acquaintances today."
"You guys should think about the magic method in Moyun Palm and teach it to Deputy Sect Leader Wu. Our bloody handprints don’t look alike?”
Everyone was shocked, and Wang Hu slapped his thigh.
“Grandma, how could there be such a shameless golden elixir sneak attack?”
“It turns out to be Mo Ruyan!”
“Strange, how did she know? Our whereabouts?”
When Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu heard the name Mo Ruyan, their expressions changed drastically.
This sect leader is really a shadow in their minds. Even though they have escaped for more than ten years, they still change their expressions upon hearing about it.
Mo Ruyan was a master who broke the golden elixir in battle and was able to compete with Wu Wufu and Mo Xing.
"Her current identity is the leader of the three San people in Jinsha Mountain, Mo San people." Lu Ye revealed that Mo Ruyan is now wearing a vest.
"You went up the mountain with the teacher to give gifts. When she saw your appearance, she must have gone out to kill alone tonight."
The brothers were shocked.
Mo Ruyan disappeared for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he reappeared, he would be the elder Mo Sanren of Jinshamen.
"So, master, it's because we suffered a disaster?" Shu Chitu said in surprise.
Although Elder Tiegong collected the capitation fee very harshly at the beginning, he taught them everything he had and did not hide anything for himself.
After being in contact with him for a long time, I know that this master is cold-faced and warm-hearted, but he is most afraid of trouble and does not want to get involved in cause and effect.
Later, Pan Furong became a disciple. For the sake of Wang Hu and the others, everything went smoothly and no more spiritual stones were collected.
After getting along for a long time, Wang Hu and others also developed feelings for Elder Tiegong.
Now Elder Tie Gong’s bones and muscles are broken, his Qi sea is broken, and he is a disabled person. They all feel uncomfortable hearing about it.
"Well, from now on I can only try my best to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I dare not say that I can help the master recover, but at least let him live a better life." Zhang Cunyi felt sad.
Shu Chitu's eyes were darting around, he thought of a way, turned to Wang Hu and said.
“Second brother, why don’t you go to Tie’s family and be the son-in-law who is here to support your appearance? You are the only one who has the highest level of cultivation among us now!”
"There is no hope for you and Sister Hong. They haven't let you in for five years. Don't wait any longer."
Wang Hu rolled his eyes and cursed in anger.
"You fart..."
Lu Ye's ears were confused, and he waved his hand and said quietly, and everyone calmed down.
“Let’s get down to business.”
"I will take Elder Tiegong's injury seriously, and I will do my best to recover him as long as possible."
"The most important thing now is to return to the Gushan Sect, and we will set off quickly tomorrow."< br>
"Mo Ruyan is very vindictive. She was driven away by us today. There is no guarantee that she will follow her again tomorrow."
"She came alone this time, maybe even Yuzhu and others I don’t know her details.”
“But I can’t say whether she will call Ersanren when she comes again, which will put us in danger.”
"Fortunately, the Gushan Sect and the Lingyun Sect are in the same direction, so we can go with Qi Zhentao."
"After passing the Lingyun Sect, we will reach the Gushan Sect a hundred miles further. Contact the sect Jin in advance It should be safe if Master Dan takes over."
"In addition, I have thought about it. If I ruin Mo Ruyan's good deeds, it will be inconvenient for the people of the Lan clan who are still migrating to go to Shunhe. "
"Once Mo Ruyan gets angry and follows him, the people in the city will suffer."
"I will discuss with Elder Tie tomorrow and I am willing to be a worshiper of the Gushan Sect. ”
"Fourth brother, you are good at earth escape. Tomorrow morning you will ride the eagle demon to send a message to the Lan people, telling them not to go to Shunhe City, Hedong Province, Yan State."
A few people discussed it, determined the details, and then went their separate ways. Gone to rest.
Lu Ye releases the White Tiger Demon King to be on guard at night.
He took Pan Furong's hand and threw a tent out of the storage ring, which formed a world of its own when it landed.
The two fell in the tent, feeling endless love for each other.
The next day.
The two got up early.
Pan Furong's eyes were like spring water and her face was like peach blossoms. She obviously had a good rest last night.
Lu Ye put on a mask and transformed into Ancestor Lan again.
After gathering everyone and closing the paper yard, Shu Chitu threw out the mechanism puppet donkey.
This donkey, which had made great achievements, was missing patches of fur on its body. It looked like it had been gnawed by insects. It was extremely worn out, but in fact it was still strong.
