Chapter 304 Meeting at Bilin
(Thanks to reader ra for the tip, and congratulations to ra for becoming the leader of this book)
The ancient trees in the southern forest are tall and straight, reminding the Pangshan Taoist priests of the towering trees on Laozu Peak, but there is too much moss here. The ground, tree trunks, and shorter branches and leaves are all covered with towering green hair. Clothing, it seems that no living thing has broken in since the beginning of the world. This article was first published by
In such an ancient forest, no matter how old the Taoist priest is, he still looks young.
No one was allowed to cast spells, so they had to walk on two legs on the slippery green ground. Even Taoist priests could not help stumbling, especially the half-demon Feiba, who was rolling and crawling behind Mu Xingqiu. Every time he thought about it, If you get any closer, you will be scared away by the bald man's fierce gaze.
Mu Xingqiu hadn't yet decided how to deal with Feiba, so he pretended he didn't exist, and asked Xin Youtao, who was following behind, in a low voice, "What are the origins of these seven Taoist priests?"
Xin Youtao glanced at the moss-stained shoes and sighed helplessly, "I don't know, Zuo Zuo led us into Talang City and stayed in a small inn. It didn't take long for these Taoist priests to come, one older than the other, and Zuo Zuo The first one seems to be quite familiar. Judging from their costumes, they are all Taoist priests from Luanjingshan, Qishan and Zhaoshan."
Yang Qingyin, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around and said: "They are all Taoist hermits. I don't know how they were found by Zuo Liuying. Really, why didn't they come to help when they were in Duanliu City? Follow Lian Haishan fought a battle and gave up without any success." She didn't care whether her voice would be heard by the Taoist priest in front of her, and she didn't lower her voice at all, echoing in the empty forest.
Xiao Qingtao was the closest to Yang Qingyin, turned around and hissed at her, and waited until the echo completely disappeared before saying: "Hermits cannot leave the mountain easily. Before they returned to hermitage, they swore an oath not to participate in any Taoist affairs, unless the whole The Taoist clan is in danger. The attack on Pangshan is just a matter of one Taoist clan, but Feng Ruhui’s seizure of Si Mingding is related to the nine Taoist clans.”
Of course Yang Qingyin knew what the hermit was, but she still snorted and lowered her voice slightly, "Hermits are selfish guys."
It was dark early in the forest, no one lit a lamp, and the Taoist priests could see in the dark, but they walked with one step deeper than the other, which was even more awkward. At midnight, Zuo Liuying and the seven hermits in front finally stopped, with Sun Yulu leading the way. Standing near a huge rock, he said to everyone: "This should be it, just wait a moment."
The entire forest is almost covered with moss, with the exception of this gray-white stone that is half a man tall. It looks like it is in its old age. A gust of wind can blow it to pieces. The Taoist priests do not even dare to get too close. Afraid of destroying the mark if I accidentally take a breath.
The high-ranking Taoist priests were all silent and stood quietly near the stones. Soon he blended in with Zhou Sen's environment, and the young Taoist priest walked to a distance to rest.
Yang Qingyin came to Mu Xingqiu. She had a doubt that she had been holding in her heart for a long time. "Why did Zuo Liuying leave you at Lan Bingke's place?"
Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao came over. They also had the same doubts. Zuo Liuying just left without giving any explanation.
"I'm just guessing." Mu Xingqiu also thought for a long time before roughly clarifying Zuo Liuying's plan. "Lian Haishan has received many outside casual cultivators. It is estimated that they brought the situation of the Fish-Dragon Formation to Duanliu City. Zuo Liuying was able to learn about various rumors through the Patriarch Tower. I feel that the formation created by Lan Bingju is very important to Duanliu City. The power of the soul in my sword is useful, so leave me at Lan Bingke's place."
"How did he know that Lan Bingke would definitely teach you the formation?" Xin Youtao asked.
"Zuo Liuying probably knows that there are loopholes in the Fish-Dragon Formation. If Lan Bingqu wants to plug the loopholes, he must find a Taoist priest for help. I am a ready candidate. When I was guarding at high altitude, I understood the method of operating the formation. It is indeed helpful to stimulate the formation." The power of the soul is very helpful, making the power stronger with minimal damage."
"If I say more in advance, will it make him vomit blood?" Yang Qingyin was very dissatisfied. She ran all night to deliver the message, and had a small dispute with the Talisman Master of Talang Kingdom in the middle of the way. As a result, Shen Geng ran away and Yangshen Peak fell into In the hands of Taoist priests from Chaos Jingshan, Zuo Liuying and several hermits were not anxious at all. They just sent one person to fight with Lian Haishan's casual cultivators, and it ended without much fighting.
"Lan Bingju unknowingly learned some mental illusions. He was afraid that if he told us his plan earlier, he would be discovered by Lan Bingqu using illusions. The first time Mu Xingqiu spoke for Zuo Liuying, it was because of what Zuo Liuying said before entering the forest. The sentence "I hope that Pangshan disciples can drive Qin Lingshuang's soul", in Mu Xingqiu's heart, the soul existing in the sword is more important than anything else, and he really does not want to be controlled by Luanjingshan Taoist priests.
"What are we waiting for here?" Xiao Qingtao asked softly. Although she was separated from the hermits by more than a dozen ancient trees and could not even see each other, she was still a little nervous.
"There are Taoist priests from the Dengzhu family who are coming." Sun Yulu arrived at some unknown time and walked out from behind the tree. Her smiling face shimmered, reminding people of the various legends about the beautiful Taoist priests from Luanjing Mountain.
"Then we can attack Luanjing Mountain, right?" Yang Qingyin's eyes lit up.
"It's hard to say, the hermit's opinions are not consistent, and there are also differences within the Dengzhuke Branch. It depends on whether Zuo Liuying can convince everyone."
Wanting to persuade again, Yang Qingyin casually shot a ball of fire at the nearest ancient tree, "What else can we disagree with? There is no chance of further disagreement."
For Taoist priests, casting spells is as natural as breathing. Although Zuo Liuying had already requested not to cast spells, Yang Qingyin still did not control herself.
Half-demon Feiba had been standing ten steps away, right next to the direction of the fireball. He was so scared that he squatted down with his head in his hands, and a whimpering scream came out of his throat.
The fireball did not hit the target. The green and gloomy ancient tree, which was originally normal, unexpectedly came out of a middle-aged female Taoist priest. She was tall and stern. She reached out to grab the fireball and rubbed her hands a few times. The fireball disappeared, "Don't alarm the enemy."
"The Great Soul Binding Master." Mu Xingqiu recognized that this person was one of the Taoist priests of the Lantern and Candle Department who helped him to bind souls in Duanliu City. At that time, they were all dressed as old women, but when they fell, they showed their true colors. Although he only glanced at them, he had an impression.
The Great Soul Binding Master had a deeper impression of Mu Xingqiu. She was a Taoist priest of Xingluo. She originally planned to replace Qin Lingshuang's soul at the last moment, but ended up in complete failure and almost died in the hands of the Taoist priest of breathing. She did not show hatred, but her eyes were rather cold. "You are already in Luanjing Mountain. You must be careful with every move and don't attract Feng Ruhui's attention."
"Is this Luanjing Mountain?" Yang Qingyin was surprised. There are many ancient trees here, but it doesn't look like a mountain.
Zuo Liuying and the seven hermits all performed the Taoist rituals to the Great Soul Binding Master and immediately started talking in a way that low-level Taoists could not participate in: none of them opened their mouths, and all the words were passed to each other in their brains.
Even Sun Yulu, who was in the Canxia realm, could not participate in the conversation. She said to Mu Xingqiu and others: "They are likely to discuss for a while. I will take you to a better place to rest."
The better place is a tree hole, which is arranged like a meditation room, but the place is larger and has ten cushions. There are hangers, tall mirrors and several sets of toiletries on the wall, which are unique to Luanjing Mountain. The meditation room in Pangshan does not have these things.
The bald man cheered and rushed to the largest mirror. Looking back and forth, he carefully wiped off the dirt on his head.
The half-demon Fei Ba also followed in, standing guard at the door and looking around, as if he had made a big mistake. He seemed to be driven out at any time.
"Doesn't the Dengzhu Branch want to take back Luanjing Mountain? What is there to hesitate about?" Several people sat down separately, and Mu Xingqiu asked immediately. Although he couldn't hear what the senior Taoists were saying. But he saw the retreat in the eyes of the Great Soul Master, which had nothing to do with the mind illusion, but was just a simple observation.
Attacking Luanjing Mountain was originally the idea of the Dengzhu Branch, but when the Great Soul Master walked out of the tree trunk, he didn't have the urgency he had in Duanliu City.
Sun Yulu didn't deny it, and scanned the faces of several Taoists who inhaled air, "Things are more complicated than expected before. You saw the fight between Luanjing Mountain and Lian Haishan during the day."
Not only did several people see it, but Mu Xingqiu even participated in it.
"Lian Haishan won, didn't he?" Xin Youtao said.
"Yang Baozhen won the first battle at Lianhai Mountain, and neither side used their full strength. But Feng Ruhui has been able to completely control Taoist Pangshan, and even let Yang Baozhen fight alone." Mu Xingqiu said.
"That's the problem." Sun Yulu sighed, "When we fled from Luanjing Mountain, the Taoist friends of Pangshan were only imprisoned, but I didn't expect that they were firmly controlled by Feng Ruhui so quickly."
The Taoists all understood the meaning of this sentence. Grandmaster Pangshan and more than half of the disciples of the Five Elements Department have become puppets of Luanjing Mountain. Feng Ruhui's strength has greatly increased, far exceeding the losses of the defection of the Lantern and Candle Department.
"Is Feng Ruhui stronger than the Grandmaster?" Xiao Qingtao asked.
"She is only at the Starfall Realm, not much stronger than the Great Soul Binding Master, and far weaker than the Grandmasters of Pangshan and Luanjingshan, but she has the Divine Soul and the Siming Cauldron." Sun Yulu paused for a moment, "If the seven hermits refuse to participate in the battle, the Lantern and Candle Department will probably have to withdraw. ansh.com "
"Hey, didn't you ask Pangshan for help?" Yang Qingyin straightened up on the futon and knelt down.
"Of course, but the request from the Lantern Department is to strengthen our strength and fight a battle where we can win or lose. If we are bound to lose, we don't want to die, and you shouldn't either."
Mu Xingqiu gently touched his left wrist, "Is it not possible with Fangfang's soul?"
"Her soul is of course very useful, but we have to see Feng Ruhui. She has already controlled the Taoist Xingluo. If the two masters..." Sun Yulu paused again and looked at Mu Xingqiu, "and activating the power of souls is a complicated spell. Taoists of the Lantern Department have to be careful when practicing for ten or a hundred years."
Mu Xingqiu understood that the most important reason for the Lantern Department's retreat was not that Feng Ruhui was too powerful, but that Zuo Liuying did not allow them to take over the Frost Soul Sword.
Mu Xingqiu did not allow it either. He was about to speak to express his determination, but the bald man who was looking in the mirror turned around and said, "Brother Xiaoqiu, Zuo Liuying asked you to go."
