Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 312: Knowing the Constant Is Not the Clear
——————————
"How can my cultivation level fluctuate, and how can I appear here by chance?" Bai Sanren held his long beard with his hands, his eyes deep, as if penetrating people's hearts, he looked at Lin Yi and smiled: "It's just a magic trick, a trick to deceive people."
After a pause, Bai Sanren looked into the distance, and then said softly: "Don't be impatient, I just met you by chance!"
Lin Yi, who was embarrassed by his intentions, could only smile bitterly: "Friend Bai... Senior Bai! I just passed by here, and I didn't think of anything else, this..."
"Haha! You are not from Daxia, are you? From overseas?" Bai Sanren interrupted Lin Yi's words, as if an old man and a child were chatting.
This old man looked mysterious, but he still spoke very kindly. Lin Yi nodded and said, "I'm from Dashang..."
"Oh! Dashang is very far away! You came all the way here just to find the Mu family? Why are you leaving now?" Bai Sanren's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Yi with interest.
Lin Yi was slightly surprised and said, "Senior, have you been to Dashang..."
"Dashang is not a good place. It's not strange that you haven't been there. Oh! I understand..." Bai Sanren interrupted Lin Yi again, tapping his fingers on the table, and smiled complacently, "The people in the rivers and lakes who were traveling with you were all from Dashang, and were later sent away by the Mu family. These people should have some relationship with the Mu family, haha! Interesting, it turns out that the Mu family came from Dashang!"
Lin Yi couldn't keep up with Bai Sanren's words, so he had to smile awkwardly and said nothing.
Bai Sanren looked at Lin Yi and shook his head, and said jokingly, "You weren't driven out by the Mu family?"
Lin Yi scratched his head, not knowing how to respond. He couldn't say that the Mu family intended to recruit him and he left because he didn't want to. Don't do anything to the extreme, and don't say anything too much. Since you have offended the Mu family, why bother to argue with them!
Bai Sanren Fuxu looked at Lin Yi and said with a joking smile: "Don't tell me that you left because you looked down on the Mu family!"
Lin Yi was speechless! How can this old man be so considerate? Don't you know what I think?
Looking at Lin Yi's embarrassment, Bai Sanren Fuxu smiled and said: "The family is not the same, those who forget their principles when they see profit, and those who curry favor with the powerful. If you rely on the Mu family, it will not be beautiful. I think you left well! Do you want to join the immortal gate?"
This is a deliberate ridicule. He won't really know the reason why I left the Mu family, right? Facing such a wise and eloquent old man, Lin Yi felt that it would be better for him to remain silent.
"You want to join the immortal sect, but no one will help you right now. I am a casual cultivator and have no dealings with these immortal sects!" Bai Sanren did not guess Lin Yi's thoughts this time, but he did not talk nonsense as he did when they first met. He said earnestly: "Luckily, that kid surnamed Pan met me and learned a lesson with ten spirit stones. And my jade slip is also very useful, but he didn't know the value of it, and it ended up being cheap for you. Always thinking about taking shortcuts, you put the cart before the horse and forget the duty of a cultivator. In this world, you can only rely on yourself for everything!"
The tone changed, Bai Sanren looked at Lin Yi with a kind expression and said: "You are about the same age as him, but I am optimistic about you!"
The other party said so much, but his original intention was still difficult for Lin Yi to guess. He could only shake his head and smile modestly.
"Young man, it's not easy to not be moved by external things, not to be convinced by external things! Seeing everything in the world as normal, the difficulty lies in distinguishing the real from the fake, the true from the false. If you can do it without being happy with things, not sad with yourself, and understand that the real and the fake are just a barrier of one thought, it will not be difficult to build the foundation of the great way!" Bai Sanren spoke slowly, with a hint of meaning.
Lin Yi was about to be humble when he heard the words, but suddenly saw the expectation in the other party's eyes. He got a little understanding in his heart, stood up and bowed, saying: "Thank you for your teachings, senior!"
Seeing the other party's courtesy, Bai Sanren smiled and nodded, with a look of appreciation. He drank a sip of water and said: "Haha! Don't dislike me, an old man, for being long-winded! It's just that I love to nag when I'm old. Unlike some young people who are blinded by greed and actually do this kind of fighting and killing, damn it!"
Bai Sanren's tone suddenly became sharp, and he slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and the tea splashed all over the table. When Lin Yi was surprised, he did not take the other party as an offense, but turned his head to look at the mountain road.
"Stop right there! You cheated your grandfather of his spiritual stones and you still want to run away?"
"You are talking nonsense! It is obvious that you want to swallow my pills, and you are still spitting blood!"
"Haha! Grandpa wants to swallow your pills, so what! Why don't you stop right there!"
"Humph! Do you really dare to be an enemy of my Danyuan Sect?"
"Haha, if I kill you two, who will know the reason for these activities!"
As a burst of shouting and cursing came, two men in green robes, with blood on their bodies, staggered in the mountain road. The two ran forward with difficulty, while angrily turning back and scolding, each holding a dull flying sword in his hand, looking quite embarrassed.
When the two ran to the roadside shop, they saw Lin Yi and Bai Sanren, and their panicked expressions froze, and then they thought of asking for help.
One of the shorter men shouted in a hurry: "The Wan family bullies the weak and takes advantage of their numbers to steal my elixir. I would like to ask for your help. I, Danyuan Zong Lingjian, would like to thank you!" He and another man beside him actually ran towards Lin Yi.
"Humph! This young man has bad intentions!"
Lin Yi heard a familiar voice in his ears. He knew it was Bai Sanren who was giving him a kind reminder, but he couldn't turn around and leave. He had seen these two young men before. They were the two green-robed monks he saw while taking shelter from the rain in a mountain wine shop when he first arrived in Daxia. At that time, the two of them even took the initiative to say hello. They were very easy-going and did not have the airs of a monk, which gave them a good impression.
The two men got into a fight for unknown reasons and were obviously injured. Although it was just a one-time relationship, whatever happened to the other party had nothing to do with Lin Yi. But if he wanted to pretend to be a passerby at this time, he didn't even bother to do it.
And these two people are indeed, as Bai San people said, suspected of pulling people into trouble. It is human nature to feel like drowning when facing danger. Lin Yi did not blame him at all. If something cannot be done, the worst possible thing is to avoid it.
However, one of these two people is at the seventh level of cultivation, and the other is at the eighth level. Who did they offend that caused them to run away like this?
Lin Yi looked behind the two of them, and saw four men in black robes chasing after them, driving their flying swords, and they were not far away in the blink of an eye.
"Haha! Let's see where you're going to escape!" A middle-aged man with an eighth level of Qi cultivation ran over shouting. The remaining three people were all at the seventh or eighth level. Looking at the two disciples of Danyuan Sect, they all looked happy as if they were looking at something in a bag. They dispersed with a roar and surrounded the small shop. got up.
A group of people rushed over, shouting and killing, and the old couple at the roadside shop were so frightened that they abandoned what they were doing and ran back to the thatched hut to hide. The firewood beside the stove door was dropped, and white smoke was rising.
"These four people are even more rotten! Damn it!" Bai Sanren muttered. As if it had nothing to do with him, he walked to the stove, picked up firewood, and squatted down to light the fire.
"I have the spiritual skills of Danyuan Sect, please ask this fellow Taoist to uphold justice. In broad daylight, how can there be any reason to buy and sell by force?" Another taller man in green robe ran into the hut, gasping for breath. Sighing.
Unable to escape, Lin Yi had no choice but to rush towards the approaching man, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm Lin Yi, I'm just a casual cultivator, and I'm passing by here. You two... do you two want a drink of water?"
Seeing Lin Yi trying to evade, Ling Jian became anxious and hurriedly defended: "Fellow Taoist Lin doesn't know something, because the elixirs of many families in Daxia come from my Danyuan Sect. My two senior brothers were ordered by the master to go to overseas islands. When I returned from delivering medicine, I still had some elixirs with me, so I went to the market town of Wanjia to sell them. However, these children of Wanjia wanted to buy them at a low price, and my brother naturally refused.
Not far from Chixia Town, these unscrupulous people chased him and snatched the pills, leading to a fight. My brother was outnumbered by his opponents, so he had to fight and retreat at the same time. Fellow Taoist Lin, you said that everyone is of the same mind, how could you do such an outrageous thing! "
"No...aren't the two fellow Taoists from the Immortal Sect? The monks in the family won't bully you and wait...?" Lin Yi was a little confused and asked. He always thought that the Immortal Sect was above the family, so why did he meet such a useless Immortal Sect disciple today?
Lingjian's face turned red and he said anxiously: "My fellow Taoist, you don't know something. Our Danyuan Sect is good at elixirs, and our own cultivation is also related to alchemy, but it is weaker than the way of fighting."
"Senior brother is right! This Wan family is a vassal of the Zhengyang Sect, how can they be willing to take our Danyuan Sect seriously? These people are obviously trying to kill people and silence them!" Ling Shu ran away, his mouth was dry, Looking at the tea bowl on the table, he didn't care much. After speaking, he picked it up and started drinking.
yes! When a person dies, everything is over. Who knew that people from the Danyuan Sect were killed by people from the Wan Family! Lin Yi was stunned when he thought of this! If these people from the Wan family really wanted to kill people and steal goods, they would probably not leave any witnesses. He couldn't help but look back at Bai Sanren, and saw that he was blowing fire with his butt sticking out, completely ignoring everything happening around him.
"Hand over the elixir. This matter will be settled. Otherwise, if you miss it, there will inevitably be death or injury!" The first speaker was very tall and strong, with a gangster aura that did not match the image of a monk in people's imagination. Not up there. The remaining three Wan family disciples also agreed, asking Lingjian and Lingshu to hand over the elixir quickly.
"The elixirs of the Danyuan Sect are indeed magical! I clearly slashed that kid's calf with a sword, but after just a short while, the wound disappeared!"
"I also slashed that short boy's arm. Look, there are only blood stains on his clothes. Tsk! This elixir really has some skills."
The four people have formed a circle, and they are not afraid of each other running away. When the pills were mentioned, everyone's eyes were filled with greed, and they wished they could pounce on them and strip the spirit appraiser brothers naked.
The greed and arrogance of these Wan family members made the two junior brothers panic. After looking at each other, Ling Jian gritted his teeth, took out a bunch of small bottles from his body and stuffed them into Lin Yi's hands. He said with a sincere expression: "The remaining pills are all here. There are three bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, Three bottles of muscle-building pills and one bottle of spirit-rejuvenating pills have been given to fellow Taoist Lin. I hope fellow Taoist can give me a helping hand. The Danyuan Sect will be very grateful afterward!"
"Senior men must die under heavy rewards! As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food, and it's true!" After Bai Sanren finished speaking, he coughed several times due to the smoke from the stove. At this time, he was no longer a monk at the seventh level of Qi training, but a mortal with no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body.
