Chapter 160 Helping Each Other

As night fell, Asan's appearance changed.

The guests who were walking among the peaks suddenly discovered that there was a thick white mist below the waist, with little bits of light shining inside, corresponding to the stars in the sky. When walking among them, they felt as if they were in a strange lake. The mist It is so condensed that it can even be picked up with both hands. It will stay wherever you put it, like a group of fireflies trapped in a net.

The Taoist priests in Yashan were smiling and deliberately did not mention anything about it before. When the guests became interested in the mist, they said in a tone that was very ordinary for this scene: "The mist of the Tianhe covers a radius of three hundred miles. , it happens to be within the scope of the Asan Taoism. It is said that this fog is full of spiritual energy and is very helpful for spiritual practice, but we didn't notice it."

Yang Qingyin winked at Qin Lingshuang and Xiao Qingtao, and said loudly: "It will definitely help practice. In such a thick fog, you have to use your third eye from time to time to see the road clearly. You go out for a walk every night. The Yashan Taoist priest must have special eyesight." powerful."

The female Taoist priests who accompanied him looked embarrassed and never mentioned the mist here again.

The bald man's head was like a fish in water here, running around with his mouth open, swallowing the spiritual energy in the fog, until he couldn't eat anymore, jumped back on Yang Qingyin's shoulder, and praised the environment here for being better than Pangshan.

After a while, he was thrown onto Qin Lingshuang's shoulders by Yang Qingyin.

The doors and windows of Yashan's room were wide and always open. Mu Xingqiu also saw the mist of Tianhe outside. The strange thing was that those mist were like shy guests, only staying outside the house and refusing to cross the boundary.

"Help is mutual." Mu Xingqiu repeated this sentence and smiled, "I wonder what help I can provide to fellow Taoists?"

"Don't rush to help. Just keep this in mind." Shen Jiyi said politely.

"It's not Asan who's anxious, it's me. I'm willing to give gold and silver, and I'm willing to help, but I don't want to delay it until later. And I don't want to think that I owe someone a big favor while I'm practicing."

Shen Jiyi raised his head and laughed several times, and said again, "As expected of Pangshan Taoist priest," and then said, "You can indeed do me a favor, and even do Yashan a favor. To show his gratitude, Yashan washed his sword." The pool is at your disposal and someone will provide you with the most reliable advice.

"I can do Asan a favor, but unfortunately, I can't help you."

Shen Jiyi was slightly startled, even though he was only four or five years older. But he always thought that he was much more mature and sophisticated than the young Taoist priest from Pangshan in front of him. His level of dining and being a master were enough to put Taoist priests who were much older than him to shame. But Mu Xingqiu, The Taoist priest who took the fourth breath was actually negotiating with him in an equal tone.

"The inheritance of Nian Xin Ke has been interrupted for many years. Sure enough, you will not choose your disciples casually." Shen Jiyi understood that the impression he had formed on Mu Xingqiu during the demon-killing drill was incomplete. "How can you help Asan? Or what else can you help me?"

Mu Xingqiu hesitated for a while before speaking. Although it was best for the other party to put forward the conditions first, he did not want to waste time, "Yashan is interested in reality and fantasy. You..."

"I'm interested in Yang Qingyin, but you would rather hand over Zhenhuan than help me win Yang Qingyin's favor?"

"Zhenhuan is mine, and Yang Qingyin is not a friend. I can't use my friends as gifts. Another thing is, even if I wanted to, there is no way to hand over Zhenhuan. The only thing I can do is to give Yashan Forbidden Secret Department a chance. Let them test and see what they see, it’s their business.”

Shen Jiyi laughed again, and the sound spread far away, causing the mist of the Tianhe outside to tremble slightly.

"The Sword Washing Pond is the treasure of Yashan, just like the Patriarch Pagoda in Pangshan. Are you only willing to do such a small favor, but in exchange for the right to use the Sword Washing Pond at will?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled and suddenly remembered what Princess Xijie said a few years ago: You should be grateful that you still have value for being used. I hope you can make good use of these values ​​instead of holding on to them and feeling sorry for yourself.

The two of them had only met that one side, but he was deeply impressed by the princess and would never forget these words. She was right. He should indeed feel lucky. Otherwise, he would have to choose between giving up the bald man and betraying his friends. Make a choice.

Lin Sa told him to be wary of outsiders, which further proved that the real illusion was valuable.

"I saw those Asan Forbidden Secrets disciples." He said, not showing any annoyance at the other party's laughter.

Shen Jiyi stopped laughing and changed to a cheerful smile. This was his habitual expression. He could advance or retreat or defend. No matter what expression he changed next, it would not be particularly abrupt. The attack just now was easily avoided by his opponent. Open, he decided to adopt a more cautious tactic, "Those three people who talked to fellow Taoist Lan Qizhang?"

"Um."

"What happened to them?"

"Their cultivation level is obviously very high. I guess it should be Xingluo. Three Xingluo Taoist priests chatted enthusiastically with a Yanyan Taoist priest. This is a bit unreasonable. No matter how hospitable Yashan is, it will not be like this. Maybe it's me. Too arrogant, I think the person the three of them are really looking for is me.”

Everything is traceable. The enthusiastic Yashan Taoist priest showed curiosity about Nian Xin Ke as soon as they met, and wanted to induce the only disciple of Nian Xin Ke to talk freely. Mu Xingqiu guessed that as long as he kept talking, the three Xingluo Taoist priests would take advantage of the situation. Joining the conversation, they waited until Mu Xingqiu was too cold and invited Lan Qizhang to visit the Asan Forbidden Secret Department.

"The Taoist priests from Yashan came here because of your reputation. The three of them are not very enthusiastic about you, so I think it must be because of the huge difference in cultivation realm."

Shen Jiyi laughed again, this time there was no sarcasm in his laughter, it was pure admiration, "Okay, but I can't make the decision. The Grandmaster is not here, so the chiefs are in charge of the affairs. I have to ask them. You are a smart person, I hope you don't have a bad impression of Yashan."

"Yashan is hospitable and makes our group feel at home. We are grateful enough, how can we have a bad impression?"

Shen Jiyi walked outside, suddenly stopped and said, "You are wrong, one is Xingluo and two are Yanyan. The forbidden secret Taoist priests of the nine Taoist sects are all arrogant and proud of their talents, which has little to do with their realm."

Shen Jiyi left, Mu Xingqiu sat in a comfortable chair, thinking about his performance just now. He grasped the real intention of Yashan, which is good, but there are also shortcomings. He was too impatient and almost took the initiative to reveal everything. If it was the princess, she would definitely do better and leave no trace.

Perhaps it was this impatience that made Yashan not eager to "help each other". That night, Shen Jiyi did not appear again. The companions came back one after another, praised the beauty of Yashan, discussed the similarities and differences between the two Taoist sects, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

In the next two days, the treatment of the guests from Pangshan did not change. Except for a few important places, they almost visited the entire Yashan Taoist sect and found that there were not only many mountains, but also many ponds. The water in them also had its own characteristics, some were clear to the bottom, some were shining, and some were steaming. There was a pool of black water. It was said that there was a dragon living in it, which only came out once every few hundred years. The guests from Pangshan could not catch up.

As a preferential treatment, eight guests could wash a magic weapon at a preferential price of one silver soul. It is said that this was the result of Shen Jiyi's full efforts.

Everyone washed one, and the mirror left by Li Yuechi was finally usable, which made Shen Hao very happy. Although a Taoist priest from Yashan told him tactfully that the quality of the mirror was very poor, he still decided to keep it for his own use.

Mu Xingqiu washed the treasure bag, so that many of his things could be placed in it.

Fangfang originally received an oil lamp, which was taken away by Xin Youtao and its whereabouts were unknown. Yang Qingyin felt that the opportunity for a discount should not be wasted, so she gave Fangfang an old copper seal.

Yang Qingyin brought dozens of old magic tools, put them in a Qiankun bag, and washed them all. A total of ten gold souls and six silver souls were spent. The price of the first one was one silver soul, and the rest were three silver souls. She vowed to make back all the money in Qishan, but looking at the expression of the Taoist priest of Yashan, this wish seemed not easy to achieve.

The guests did not see what the sword washing pool looked like. The magic tools were handed over to the Taoist priests of Yashan, and they were returned to the original owner after washing. It is said that the rules in the past were not like this. It was not until a water theft incident occurred decades ago that Yashan prohibited any outsiders from approaching the sword washing pool.

Mu Xingqiu did not send the bald man to wash the mark. He had been reminded in Pangshan that the bald man was both a magic weapon and a living creature. Washing the mark rashly might bring unpredictable fatal effects.

He was waiting for Shen Jiyi's reply. Only a high-level Taoist priest from Yashan who knew the sword-washing pool well, or even the first-level, might be able to find a way to safely wash the mark, and this was a treatment that Jinpo could not buy.

Shen Jiyi came to accompany the guests every day, but he never mentioned the conversation on the first night, as if that incident had passed. Yashan was not interested in the transaction proposed by a Taoist priest from Pangshan.

Mu Xingqiu waited patiently, determined not to make the mistake of being impatient.

Yang Qingyin could not wait any longer. .a.c No matter how hospitable Yashan was, it was a place for cultivation. Apart from the unique landscape and architecture, there was nothing fun. She was only thinking of one thing now: to go to Qishan to sell magic weapons as soon as possible.

Taoist priests from Yashan were like merchants, but the real market was not here, but in Qishan.

Several female Taoist priests tried their best to appease and retain Yang Qingyin. Mu Xingqiu saw it and felt more at ease.

On the afternoon of the third day of visiting Yashan, Mu Xingqiu was alone in the room again, and Shen Jiyi came to visit.

"Please forgive me, it is not easy for several masters to reach a consensus, and you also know that high-level Taoist priests are always unhurried, and a few days are just a moment for them. Yashan is willing to help you wash away Mu Songxuan's mark and ensure his safety. In return, you have to accept an inspection when the real illusion appears."

"It's a coincidence that the second watch tonight is when the real illusion appears." Mu Xingqiu knew that Yashan had already investigated it clearly and was waiting for a reply on this day, but he didn't show it.

"As soon as it gets dark, I will come and take you and Mu Songxuan to the sword washing pool, and then do the real illusion check." Shen Jiyi smiled. Since the deal has been reached, Yashan is willing to be more generous and provide help first. "The way of Taoism is boundless, and there are always unexpected things happening. I have to remind you in advance that Yashan will do his best to ensure Mu Songxuan's safety, but there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents."
