Chapter 159 Taoist Priest of Yashan
The nine masters passed by in a flash and did not stop at Hongshan at all. They just stopped here and immediately headed to Luanjing Mountain. Most people only had time to see the figures they were most familiar with. When there was a lot of discussion afterwards, they all claimed that they saw nine people clearly.
"The Patriarch looks really old. Why doesn't he make himself younger?"
"Actually, he's not that old. Seriously, have you seen what he looks like?"
The crowds near the Hongshan Instantaneous Platform queued up again, and the focus of discussion quickly shifted from the nine masters to the strange movements of the demon clan in the south.
Yang Qingyin was very concerned about this matter, but what annoyed her was that the person with the most information turned out to be Shen Jiyi. He came from the Yashan Five Elements Branch and was a Pangshan Dujie, so he could understand the movements of demons in the world in real time.
"Three days ago, all the masters gathered at Wangshan Mountain to check the situation of the Demon Suppressing Bell. They transferred to Luanjing Mountain so quickly, which shows that there is no problem with the demons. The Southern Siren wanted to attack Luanjing Mountain, but it seems that he did not accept it. Lessons from Demon King Qi Wushang..."
Yang Qingyin became impatient, turned to Mu Xingqiu, and said loudly: "Didn't you just meet Qi Wushang a few days ago? Maybe this is his conspiracy to lure the nine masters to the south so that he can take the opportunity to escape. What do you think?"
Mu Xingqiu did feel that the black wolf he had seen was a bit weird, but he never thought that the demon king had the ability to command the demons in the world. He hummed awkwardly and didn't say much. Yang Qingyin, however, kept on guessing, completely covering up Shen Jiyi's voice.
In her description, it was a huge conspiracy. Taking advantage of the siren chaos in the south, the demon king Qi Wushang fled back to the land of demons. He regained his strength through various cruel sorceries that no one had ever heard of, and then launched an attack on a certain Taoist lineage. "Wangshan, he wants to attack Wangshan. The demons want to break the demon-suppressing bell and release all the demons. Then The whole world is filled with demons, and the power of demons increases greatly."
Her speculation aroused the interest of many people. But no one took it seriously. It was all a joke while waiting for the teleportation station to be transmitted. Shen Jiyi kept smiling politely. When Yang Qingyin finally shut up, he raised his hands and clapped, "It hits the nail on the head. What you said. I really feel that This time the Kraken is a bit unusual."
Yang Qingyin said with a cold face, "I'm talking nonsense, but you actually take it seriously, which shows that you are simple-minded. If you don't think so in your heart and just agree with your mouth, it shows that you are a flatterer. You are not even worthy of being a Taoist priest."
People around him were snickering, and Shen Jiyi was speechless. Fortunately, it was their turn to use the instant platform to rescue him from his embarrassment.
Yang Qingyin was very proud of this, but Mu Xingqiu quietly observed and came to another conclusion: Shen Jiyi was probably more interested in Yang Qingyin.
It's only two quarters of an hour.
The group of people traveled from Pangshan in the northwest of the Shengfu Dynasty to Yashan in the northeast, a distance of thousands of miles.
There is no tall main peak in Ashan. The peaks stand like rows of teeth piercing the sky, hence the name.
Yashan Instant Platform is located in the middle of several small peaks. It is about the same area as Pangshan Mountain, but it feels cramped and small. Yang Qingyin has actually been here once, but she still pretended to be visiting for the first time. She glanced around and curled her lips and said: " No wonder the Yashan Taoist priests are so petty, the place they chose is not good.”
Yashan, who has a "little family spirit", is very enthusiastic towards his guests. He first ran past more than ten Taoist priests to welcome Shen Jiyi back home, and then greeted the guests one by one. One of the young Taoist priests had been to Yangshen Peak a few years ago. Patriarch Ta Cunxiang inherited the inheritance and knew Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao. When they met again, they recognized each other at a glance and felt very cordial.
There were also female Taoist priests in Yashan's welcoming team, and they quickly became familiar with Qin Lingshuang and Xiao Qingtao. Not far from the instant platform, Yang Qingyin was also impressed by the other party's enthusiasm and felt that she could not offend Shen Jiyi alone. The whole Asan started talking and laughing.
Hongshan is just a transit point. As the first stop for several Pangshan disciples on their weapon-refining tour, Yashan is indeed a good start. Shen Jiyi has a high status in this Taoist tradition and is very popular. Taoist priests from all disciplines come to meet him. Even Lan Qizhang, who is obsessed with spiritual practice, has found two or three close friends and talks endlessly about various Taoist traditions. The similarities and differences in the Forbidden Secrets Department are like talking about them at night.
There was no need for Baldy to hide anymore. He came out of the gourd and soon became the favorite of the Yashan Taoist priests. He was taken everywhere to watch, and he felt more comfortable than at Pangshan Laozu Peak.
The costumes of Taoist priests in Asan are similar to those in Pangshan, except that the hairpins on their heads are either gold or jade, and the materials are very precious. More differences are reflected in their residence and temperament. There are no tall buildings in Asan, and the houses are all built according to the peaks. Different, almost none of them are the same. Even the standard rooms of ordinary disciples have their own characteristics, and they are all large in area and rich in furnishings. In comparison, Pangshan's residence is like a dark storage room. .
The personalities of Yashan Taoist priests are very different from those of Pangshan. They are both very good at making friends with others. Before dinner that day, Pangshan’s guests already liked the atmosphere here. Shen Hao and Xin Youtao even talked to several Yashan Taoists. The disciples of the mountain formed a "life-and-death friendship".
Mu Xingqiu quickly lost the favor of Taoist priest Yashan because he was too cold, especially unwilling to mention Nian Xin Ke. He felt comfortable and quiet when he stayed alone in the spacious guest room.
Xin Youtao found an opportunity to escape, and went into the guest room to advise Mu Xingqiu privately, "This is a great opportunity to make connections. You should cherish it. Look, even Lan Qizhang knows how to chat with people. You are the only disciple of Nianxinke, and everyone cares about it." It’s quite interesting.”
Mu Xingqiu smiled, but he still couldn't do it. All the things he experienced in Pangshan, as well as Lin Sa's advice before leaving, made him always wary. Faced with the enthusiasm of Yashan Taoist priests, he was too late to do so. Reluctant to respond.
"Do you know what Yashan said about you?" Xin Youtao was obsessed with transforming Mu Xingqiu's character, "that you are arrogant, have too much self-esteem, and are unreasonable. You have to have two legs to walk. Cultivation is only one of them. Networking is not the other leg. , is also equivalent to an arm, swinging it well can make you walk more steadily. "
Xin Youtao was called away by a "life and death friend", and Yang Qingyin strode into the room, sat on a chair, and poured herself a glass of water. "The Yashan Taoist priests are indeed businessmen. They are more passionate about making money than practicing cultivation."
"Businessman?" Mu Xingqiu had never heard of this statement.
"The Nine Great Masters comment on each other privately." Yang Qingyin leaned over. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Everyone's unanimous comment on Yashan is that they care too much about making money from the Sword Washing Pond. They can never make enough, and they can't wait to pave the floor with gold and silver souls."
"So the most important thing in Yashan is the alchemy department. The Taoist priests here have made rapid progress in practice before the Xingluo realm. They rely on taking medicine, taking a lot of medicine as food." Yang Qingyin curled her lips. "But after the Xingluo realm, the help of elixirs is not much. Among the nine great masters, Grandmaster Yashan has the lowest realm. It is said that he is the first level of concentration."
Yang Qingyin likes to exaggerate. Mu Xingqiu smiled after hearing this and didn't take it too seriously, "Where's Pang Shan? What do other orthodox orthodoxies say about Pang Shan?"
"Old-fashioned." Yang Qingyin didn't shy away from it. "Taoist priests from Pangshan are famous for being old-fashioned. For example, if you don't say a few words, people can guess that you are from Pangshan."
Mu Xingqiu didn't think he was that old-fashioned, but compared to Yashan Taoist priests, he was indeed not lively enough. "Xin Youtao and Shen Hao are not old-fashioned."
"That's a comparison with you." Yang Qingyin stood up, "The two of them were played between the hands of a group of Yashan Taoist priests, and they are still complacent."
Yang Qingyin was about to leave, but Mu Xingqiu stopped her, "I want to ask Shen Jiyi for a favor. I hope you won't mind."
Yang Qingyin thought for a while, "Is it about washing Mu Songxuan's mark?"
There was almost nothing on the Ancestor Peak that she didn't know. Mu Xingqiu nodded, "Bald Man is not an ordinary magic weapon. I can't just wash the mark casually. I have to find someone who is sure."
"As you wish." Yang Qingyin narrowed her eyes and stared at Mu Xingqiu, "I found that you like to meddle in other people's business. You are not like a Taoist at all. Sometimes you are quite disgusting, and sometimes you are quite cute. Haha."
Mu Xingqiu was really afraid that she would bring up the matter of forming a mortal bond again, but fortunately, I laughed and left. This was the first day of the tour, and she was not ready to use any means.
Before dinner, both Shen Hao and Xin Youtao came back, and they didn't seem very happy. It turned out that those "life and death friends" really only talked about life and death. They wanted to wash a few magical artifacts, but they were ruthlessly rejected for the same reason: The sword-washing pool is owned by Yashan. As ordinary disciples, they themselves have no right to use it for free, let alone outsiders.
"Liar." Xin Youtao angrily defined his new friend, "His whole body is covered with magic weapons, and he actually says that he has no right to use the sword washing pool. Yashan is a liar."
"When we are at Yangshen Peak, we remember our ancestors once a month, but we don't have the right to bring outsiders in. It's the same." Mu Xingqiu felt that Xin Youtao's reaction was excessive.
"That's different. At least... at least I won't lie."
Despite such minor twists and turns, the trip to Asan was still enjoyable. The Taoist priests did not have the habit of gathering together for dinner, so they had dinner alone. It was all vegetarian dishes, but the cooking skills were extremely superb. No one can say that Asan is better in this regard. stingy.
After dinner, Mu Xingqiu wandered outside alone and saw that Xin Youtao and Shen Hao had resumed their friendship with the Yashan Taoist priests. The two complimented each other and acted quite close, not at all like rivals who hated each other.
Further away, Fangfang, Yang Qingyin, and Xiao Qingtao were walking around the peak to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the guidance of a group of female Taoist priests. The bald man jumped up and down in the crowd, rarely able to maintain his excitement for a full half day.
Only Lan Qizhang was missing. He was taken away by several Taoist priests to visit the Forbidden Secret Department of Yashan.
Mu Xingqiu walked around in a circle. It was getting late. When he returned to the guest room, he found that the person he was looking for was in his room.
Shen Jiyi was carefully observing the half-human gourd, "This is a magical weapon that was popular a long time ago. Now almost no one uses it. Why don't you use a treasure bag or a universe bag? It can hold more things. It’s also easy to carry.”
"I have a treasure bag. .nshco" Mu Xingqiu patted his belly. This was Li Yuechi's relic. It belonged to Daliang Shen Xiuming and was brought by him. "But it has the mark of the previous user. I can only take things out, not store them in.”
"The Sword Washing Pool can solve your problem."
"I heard that it takes three silver souls to wash a magic weapon. I'm ready. And I also want to wash a special magic weapon."
Shen Jiyi showed his habitual smile, "A special magical weapon?"
"Mu Songxuan, that head was made into a sound transmission incense burner."
Shen Jiyi looked stunned and said, "Special enough." After a moment of pause, he asked, "Do you want me to help?"
"If you want."
"Of course I do, but - the help is mutual."
Shen Jiyi blinked, and Mu Xingqiu could guess what kind of help this Yashan Taoist priest needed.
