Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 300: Traveling Together
——————————
The old man and the young man were arguing endlessly, not paying attention to the group of people coming behind them. It's just that these two people blocked the way, and everyone in the Tianlong Sect couldn't go around, so they could only watch the excitement.
Seeing that both young and old were monks, Lin Yi in the crowd couldn't help but look at them twice. Young people should be at the second level of Qi training, and old people should be at the third level. The two of them were not highly cultivated, so they had a general idea of why they were quarreling here.
This young man was not very experienced in the world, and the other party took advantage of the loopholes in his words. He felt that he was at a disadvantage and wanted to claim his spiritual stone back. But this old man looks sanctimonious, but he has turned the whereabouts of the Immortal Sect into a business. It seems that the ten spiritual stones he swallowed will not be spit out easily.
Lin Yi's pocket is now very full, and he no longer takes the ten spirit stones in his eyes. If it were two years ago, I'm afraid he would be as anxious and angry as this young man.
Seeing the two of them chatting incessantly, not knowing how long the quarrel would last, Lin Yi stepped out, cupped his hands at each other and said, "We still have to hurry, can you two borrow a way to make it easier?"
"Huh? I'm still a fellow Taoist, I'm blind! You're polite!" The old man hurriedly got rid of the other party's entanglement and took the opportunity to salute Lin.
The young man reluctantly glanced back at Lin Yi with a startled expression. Although he could not see the other person's cultivation level, he still said with a happy face: "This fellow Taoist has come at the right time, please come and comment! This old man..."
"Hey! Don't be rude! You are young and don't know your elders. How did your elders teach you?" The old man put his hands behind his hands and twirled his beard. He stood with his head held high, showing great momentum. His tone seemed to be lecturing his nephew. If he hadn't been watching for a while, even Lin Yi would have respected the honor of the old man in front of him.
The old man and the young man had no intention of giving way. Lin Yi didn't want to get involved in the other party's entanglement, so he had to say: "It's important to hurry up, you two..."
The old man looked at Lin Yi and nodded repeatedly: "Let me tell you where this fellow Taoist wants to go. Maybe I can point out a shortcut for you. It's not yet known!"
Looking at the generous elder in front of him, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Let's go to Luoxia Town!"
"Fellow Taoist, have you been there before?" the old man asked.
"I've never been there," Lin Yi said.
A peaceful smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face, and he said: "I have known countless people in my life, and I saw that this Taoist friend has strange bones and extraordinary appearance. He must not be something in the pool!" After praising him, he said deeply. Then he said: "If I am not wrong, Taoist friend is not a local monk in Daxia. Are you going to Luoxia Town to visit relatives and friends? There are immortal sects and families in Daxia that I don't know about. Maybe Taoist friend Wherever you go, there are old acquaintances of mine! I wonder if I can introduce them to you?”
"Haha! Don't dare bother fellow Taoist! I have to hurry on my way!" Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, without saying much. Elder Jiang pointed out the place on the jade slip. He also had a map of Daxia. If he searched according to the map, he might not be able to find the place.
Although the other party is young, he is not easy to fool, leaving the old man with nowhere to use his power, and the other party is obviously wary. He said with some disappointment: "No one knows about me in Lingshan, and the Immortal Sect only helps those who are destined! How can those Immortal Sects be easy to find? If not, no one would be struggling here!"
"You old man is lying again! Luoxia Town is not far ahead. Why didn't you tell this Taoist friend and still pretended to be mysterious?" The young man who had been silent for a long time may still be angry in his heart. The exit will catch people short. The old man said eloquently: "You don't distinguish between old and young, and you are disrespectful when you meet the elderly! When did I lie to others? Didn't this Taoist friend not ask me?"
"Hmph!" The young man glared at the old man and said angrily, clasping his fists at Lin, "My surname is Pan, my Taoist name is Wenxuan. I traveled to Luoxia Town and met this old man who said he knew someone from the Immortal Sect. Let me I took out ten spiritual stones and introduced them to me. Who knew that this old man had blackmailed my spiritual stones, told me the way into the mountain, and then turned around and left? Wasn't he obviously trying to trick me? If this Taoist brother is trustworthy, I will take you to Luoxia Town with you, and I will give you everything!"
"You young man is unreasonable! Isn't the road into the mountain easy to walk? I, Bai Sanren, haven't worked hard..." the old man said very unjustly.
Lin Yi smiled when he saw the two of them arguing again. Pan Wenxuan's spiritual stone might not come back. However, these things can also happen among monks. This is the first time we have encountered it, but it is not surprising.
Along the way, I met all kinds of fellow-travelers, and I also killed a lot of them. The unpredictability of his colleagues has dissipated a lot, especially when facing monks who are also in the Qi training period, Lin Yi is very calm. The hobbies and temperaments of these people are no different from those of Jianghu people. He interrupted his conversation and said, "I'm Lin Yi, I'd like to thank this Taoist fellow Wenxuan in advance! Please!"
Pan Wenxuan was startled when he heard this. He originally said it out of anger, but he didn't expect someone to climb along the pole, so he really asked him to lead the way. Xu Shi was young and energetic. When he saw that the other party was similar in age to him, he spat bitterly at Bai Sanren and said happily: "Fellow Daoist Lin, let's go! Just treat my spiritual stones as food for dogs!" After saying this, he asked Lin Yi to follow him.
Bai Sanren's face darkened after being scolded, he trembled his beard and said tongue-tied: "You have no morals...!" Seeing Lin Yichang smiling at him, cupping his hands and following Pan Wenxuan with the people behind him, he had no choice but to say sarcastically Get out of the way. When the person walked away, the old man looked back and forth, held his long beard in his hand contentedly, and followed him up.
On the way, Lin Yi couldn't help chatting with Pan Wenxuan. This person was from Jishui County, Daxia, and was born into a declining family of immortal cultivators. In his family, only three people embarked on the path of cultivation. This was also due to the continuation of the ancestral bloodline, which made Pan Wenxuan one of the cultivators in the family.
Unfortunately, the family has long lost its former glory, and the lack of skills and elixirs makes people unable to see the future of cultivation. So Pan Wenxuan traveled around, wanting to join the immortal gate in order to go further on the immortal path.
There are many such cultivators, all of whom have the dream of joining the immortal gate and ascending to heaven in one step. But those big immortal gates are not easy to enter. Those with low cultivation are not accepted, those without recommendation are not accepted, and those who have not opened the mountain gate to accept disciples are not accepted. After Pan Wenxuan wandered around, he heard a piece of news that the Yinyuan Sect had opened the door to accept disciples. This is a small sect, and there are not so many rules for selecting disciples. It is a suitable place for many casual cultivators.
The casual cultivators were born in humble families and had no one to rely on. If they wanted to be protected by a sect, joining these small sects would be a shortcut for these casual cultivators! And Pan Wenxuan became such a casual cultivator.
After finding Luoxia Town, Pan Wenxuan asked about the location of the mountain gate of Yinyuan Sect. He met Bai Sanren, who looked kind, and was teased by him. He exchanged ten spirit stones for a way into the mountain.
The spirit stones were hard to come by. They were all the remains of the clan. He just spent them for nothing, but did not get the return he imagined. The more he thought about it, the angrier Pan Wenxuan chased Bai Sanren to ask for the spirit stones.
Pan Wenxuan's cultivation was not high, and he could not do anything to the other party. And Bai Sanren could not do anything to the other party either, so he had to stay away from him. When the two were entangled, they met Lin Yi and others.
Although he was angry that the other party's words were untrue, he could only blame himself for his lack of experience. Seeing that there was no hope of getting the spirit stones back, Pan Wenxuan could only give up the matter out of anger.
Although Pan Wenxuan couldn't see Lin Yi's cultivation, he didn't regard him as a master. No matter how old he was, even if he was a little more advanced than himself, it was limited. In addition, the two were of similar age, so there was less restraint in their conversation.
After being irritated by Bai Sanren, Pan Wenxuan finally had someone to talk to. He answered all the questions.
Lin Yi had been alone since he was thirteen years old, and his intelligence was not comparable to that of his peers. After secretly testing the other party with words, he saw that the other party didn't seem to be a scheming person, so he believed the truth of what the other party said.
After finding out the details of the other party, Lin Yi had fewer scruples. After thinking about the map of Daxia, he said, "Fellow Daoist Wenxuan, I am only going to Xifeng Mountain via Luoxia Town. I also know the general location of the Yinyuan Sect you mentioned. How about we go together?"
Pan Wenxuan said happily, "That's great! Daoist brother, do you know the way to the gate of the Yinyuan Sect?"
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "If you know its approximate location, just go and find it yourself!"
Pan Wenxuan looked back curiously and smiled, "Daoist brother, you think so after looking at the map!"
What's wrong? Lin Yi did not comment.
"If you can fly, with the map in hand, it would be easy to find these immortal gates. But due to the limitations of your and my cultivation, we can only walk on foot! To the east of Luoxia Town, there are mountains of all sizes stretching for thousands of miles. Even if you know the general location of the immortal gates, if there is no detailed way, I don't know how long it will take to find those immortal gates!" This Daoist Lin didn't know more than him, and Pan Wenxuan's words were a little disappointed.
"Daoyou, have you heard of Xifeng Mountain?" Lin Yi asked thoughtfully without stopping.
"No." Pan Wenxuan answered very straightforwardly. He continued without turning his head: "Daoyou, why are you going to Xifeng Mountain? Haven't you heard that there is an immortal gate located in Xifeng Mountain?"
Every mountain has a name. There are countless mountains and ridges in the mountains. It doesn't matter if Pan Wenxuan doesn't know it. But Elder Jiang only mentioned the location of Xifeng Mountain in the jade slip, but did not elaborate on the path Pan Wenxuan mentioned. What should I do?
Lin Yi's heart was also a little uneasy. Maybe the decision to go with Pan Wenxuan was right. Didn't he get the method to enter the mountain from Bai Sanren?
After briefly explaining his purpose, Lin Yi asked again: "I am from overseas and I am still unfamiliar with Daxia. There are many things I need to ask Daoyou Wenxuan!"
Pan Wenxuan, who lost the spirit stone, was still resentful in his stomach, but after talking with Lin Yi, he saw that the other party's cultivation was higher than his own and his tone was easy-going, so he had a good impression of him and wanted to make friends with him. Having a companion with high cultivation was originally taboo, but if you get along well with him, you will at least have a strong arm to help you when you encounter an accident.
Putting the spirit stone aside for the moment, Pan Wenxuan became more talkative. A person with high cultivation asked him for advice, and he smiled and said, "Brother, please feel free to speak up, don't be shy!"
Just because you have a map and Elder Jiang's message in your hand, you can't think that you can go anywhere. When you meet such a local cultivator who can talk to you, it's better to ask more questions. Lin Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Do you know the Mu family, a cultivation family?"
