Chapter 829 Zhou Daoping, a Worthy Death

Nanzhou, in a market at the foot of Yunlong Mountain.

One day, a short old man in yellow hurriedly walked to the outside of a restaurant. After looking up at the expensive sign above his head, he entered the restaurant with a displeased look.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the old man in yellow soon came to a private room on the second floor and signaled the waiter to knock on the door.

"Your spiritual stones are not missing, why are you here to bother me again? Get out of here!"

Hearing the angry rebuke from the room, the waiter who was knocking on the door was startled, stopped the action in his hand, and looked at the old man in yellow helplessly.

Seeing this, the old man in yellow waved his hand slightly to signal the waiter to retreat, and then forced the door open and walked in.

The private room was decorated very gorgeously, with gorgeous palace lanterns, swaying lights, and brocade embroidered with exquisite patterns covering the walls, showing a beautiful and luxurious scene.

As soon as the old man in yellow entered, he heard a clear and pleasant sound of piano, but with his sudden intrusion, the music stopped abruptly.

Not far away, a handsome man lying on a wooden chair with his legs crossed looked at the old man in yellow who broke in. He was surprised at first, and then sighed helplessly:

"Sixth uncle, I was just bored in the mountains, so I came down the mountain to take a break. How did you find this place?"

Hearing the man's words, the old man in yellow did not pay attention to him first, but waved to the several musicians in the restaurant who were still stunned.

After everyone else in the room had left, the old man in yellow carefully set up a magic circle at the door, then turned around and reprimanded the handsome man:

"This is the territory of the Li family. If you come to a place like this and let others know, aren't you afraid that it will affect your reputation?"

"Sixth uncle, you are too serious. I just came here to taste a few cups of spirit wine and listen to some vocal music I like. Why did you say such harsh words to me?

Besides, I am a person who is going to marry into someone else's family. What good reputation can I have in the world of immortal cultivation in the future? Sixth uncle, don't worry about me.

While we still have a chance to chat, why don't you have another drink with me? Maybe I won't have so many opportunities to go back to Huanglong Mountain in the future."

Hearing the reprimand from the old man in yellow, the young man seemed to be indifferent. After responding with a smile, he picked up the wine glass on the table again.

After hearing this, the old man in yellow sighed, but said with a serious face: "Daoping, I know you are angry about the family's arrangement, but you should know that the family is also for your own good.

It has been less than a thousand years since our Zhou family advanced to the Nascent Soul family. How can the family's foundation be compared with other Nascent Soul forces in the surrounding area?

Now the family has decided to fully support your third uncle to form a Nascent Soul, and it is impossible to have the spare energy to support you to break through the Nascent Soul realm.

If you stay in the family, you will not be able to achieve the Nascent Soul in the future, and you can only waste your life in the Golden Core stage like your sixth uncle.

In addition to the consideration of the family, letting you go to the Li family is actually for your future path.

The Li family has already promised us that as long as you and Li Xuanyi complete the dual cultivation ceremony, they will teach you the skills. In the future, you can at least improve your chances of breaking through the Nascent Soul realm by 10%.

These are all decisions made by the ancestors after careful consideration. Although it is a bit unfair to you at present, as long as you can successfully form a Nascent Soul, , from now on, no one will dare to gossip about you, whether in the Li family or the Zhou family.

You should know these things without me saying much, so don't misunderstand the good intentions of the ancestor. "

"Well! ., it is the ancestor's thoughtful consideration!

You also know that I just like to talk about it, and I don't really oppose this matter.

I have devoted my life to Taoism. In addition to loving vocal music, I don't have any other hobbies. As long as Miss Li doesn't despise me for marrying above her, it's fine.

Besides, I'm here, what else do you have to worry about, and you don't always have a stern face, Sixth Uncle."

"It's good that you know, come back with me! Miss Li just sent someone to deliver a message, and she will visit in person later."

"Hey! I haven't visited as usual yet, why can't she wait to come and see me, Sixth Uncle, are you sure?"

Zhou Daoping, who had just tasted a sip of wine, heard the words from the old man in yellow, and his face suddenly showed some doubts.

Hearing this, the old man in yellow also shook his head and said, "I don't know why she came to you. Maybe she just wants to meet you first. You will know it when you meet her."

——

A few months later, a green light flew over and landed directly outside the "Yunlongfang", turning into a green-clothed man with a somewhat ordinary appearance.

After the green-clothed man glanced at the relatively unfamiliar market in front of him, he strode forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the market.

Seeing that Song Qingming, who was walking not far away, had extraordinary cultivation, a late-stage Qi training cultivator guarding the entrance of the market, hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and greeted him.

"Junior greets senior. May I ask your name? Are you going to Yunlong Mountain?"

Hearing the other party's question, Song Qingming smiled and asked in confusion: "I'm just here for the first time. Why do you know that I'm going to Yunlong Mountain?"

"Uh! Did the junior misunderstand the senior? I hope you will forgive me!

Recently, an old ancestor of our Yunlong Mountain is going to hold a wedding, so there are many guests coming and going. I saw that you have a good cultivation level and are a stranger, so I thought you also came from afar to congratulate the mountain. "

"Oh! So that's the case, then it's a coincidence that you came today!

I don't know which old ancestor on the mountain is getting married, I will see if I can join in the fun and ask for a glass of wedding wine!"

Hearing Song Qingming's inquiry, the gatekeeper monk immediately replied with a bit of arrogance on his face: "Haha! Senior is talking about this time. The dual cultivation ceremony of the old ancestor Xuan Yi is a rare event for our Li family in a hundred years.

If the senior missed it, it would be a pity. "

"Wait! Are you talking about the old ancestor of your family?"

"It's the old ancestor Xuan Yi, senior, do you know her? "

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly showing a look of surprise, the gatekeeper asked curiously.

Song Qingming came back to his senses after hearing this, shook his head calmly, and walked directly into the market.

After separating from his master "Lingxu Taoist" that day, Song Qingming was going to return to the Floating Cloud Mountains, but before leaving, he had something to do, so he took a detour and came to "Yunlong Mountain" in the west of Nanzhou.

"Yunlong Mountain" is the fairy mountain spiritual vein of the Li family, the Yuanying family of Nanzhou, and it is also the immortal cultivation family where Senior Sister Li Xuanyi is.

The reason why Song Qingming came here was to see the senior sister who had always taken good care of him.

Unexpectedly, he heard the news that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi was about to get married just after he arrived at the foot of the mountain, which shocked him for a while.

"Senior Sister suddenly left the sect, is it because of this? "

Having been in the "Taixu Sect" for many years, Song Qingming is naturally very clear about the sect's rules.

Because of the sect's rule of seclusion, all inner disciples, once they join the sect, cannot have too much involvement with other immortal cultivation forces in the outside world.

When Song Qingming heard from his master "Lingxu Taoist" that his senior sister Li Xuanyi suddenly quit the sect, he was very puzzled.

If senior sister Li Xuanyi wanted to return to the family to get married, then it is reasonable for her to give up her status as an inner disciple and directly choose to quit the sect. .

But Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi have known each other for many years. In his heart, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi has always been a person who does her own thing and has a distinct personality.

Suddenly hearing the news that Li Xuanyi is going to get married, Song Qingming always feels a little strange in his heart for some reason.

While walking, thinking about the doubts in his heart, until he unknowingly walked to the end of the street in the market, Song Qingming suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, turned around and walked into a restaurant next to him.

On the second day, Song Qingming, who was really a little impatient in his heart, came to "Yunlong" early "Mountain" at the foot of the mountain, and sent a message to see Senior Sister Li Xuanyi.

What Song Qingming didn't expect was that the cultivator guarding the mountain at the foot of Lijia Mountain, after hearing that Song Qingming wanted to see Li Xuanyi, quickly rejected him on the grounds that his ancestor was not convenient to see guests.

This made Song Qingming feel quite depressed. He didn't know whether the other party was unwilling to help pass the message, or whether Senior Sister Li Xuanyi had really changed so much that she didn't even have time to see her friend who had known her for many years.

After nightfall, the dim moonlight slowly climbed up to the sky, "Yunlongfang" There were few pedestrians on the street.

At this time, a figure suddenly fell from the second floor and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after, in a house in the northwest corner of "Yunlongfang", a middle-aged man in a yellow robe had just returned from outside and was about to return to the cave to meditate and practice.

He didn't want to walk into the house, but he saw that it was dark everywhere outside his house, and there was not even a light. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and said:

"Where did these slaves die? It's getting more and more outrageous!"

After the middle-aged man in the yellow robe scolded, he just wanted to look for the servants in his house, but he felt a breeze blowing by his side. He looked up and found that a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat had come to his side silently.

"Who are you? "

The middle-aged man in yellow robe had just asked a question when he saw a flying sword had already hit his forehead, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"If you still want to live, you'd better not ask who I am!"

"Senior, please spare my life. I dare not say more. If you have any instructions, just speak up!"

After hearing the very cold tone and the powerful aura coming from the other party, the middle-aged man in yellow robe nodded in fear, fearing that the flying sword in the other party's hand would move forward a bit.

The mysterious man in the bamboo hat showed a bit of satisfaction on his face when he heard the words, and then he continued: "Next, I will ask you questions and you will answer them. If the answers satisfy me, then you will not only not die, but these spirit stones will also be yours. "

After saying that, the mysterious man in the bamboo hat had a flash of spiritual light in his hand, and threw a bag of spiritual stones into the hands of the middle-aged man in the yellow robe.

Seeing the bag full of spiritual stones, which amounted to thousands, even though the middle-aged man in the yellow robe was already a foundation-building cultivator with some achievements in cultivation, a trace of excitement still flashed in his eyes.

But before he could be happy for long, the mysterious man in the bamboo hat said a cold word, which immediately brought him back to reality.

"If you dare to deceive me, then not only will you not be able to get the spirit stone, but it will also be difficult for you to leave this place alive. You must think about these before answering. Don't make a mistake!"

"Senior, don't worry. As long as I know something, I won't dare to lie to you!"

Facing such a mysterious man in a bamboo hat whose cultivation level was much higher than his own, the middle-aged man in yellow robe knew that he didn't have much choice, so he nodded to him as if he had recognized the reality.

"Are you from the Li family in Yunlong Mountain?"

"Junior Li Quansheng is a monk from the Li family in Yunlong Mountain!"

"Li Xuanyi, the ancestor of the Li family's golden elixir, is there any way you can meet her in person?"

"What, Ancestor Xuanyi, this..."

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the middle-aged man in yellow robe, the mysterious man in the hat instantly glanced over and said sternly: "As long as you tell the truth honestly, I won't embarrass you otherwise."

"Yes! Senior.

Ancestor Xuanyi is currently practicing beside some Supreme Ancestors on the top of the mountain. On weekdays, it would be difficult for us to get close to her unless our ancestors were willing to meet her. The juniors are not sure whether they will have a chance to see her, so please be careful. "

"It doesn't matter if you can't see her. All you need to do is bring a letter to her for me. If you can get this done, I'll give you a reward!"

After the mysterious man in the hat said, he put down the flying sword that was on the opponent's forehead. A flash of inspiration appeared in his hand, and another letter and a small cyan jade bottle were handed over to the middle-aged man in yellow robe.

"Senior, don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter!"

At first, the middle-aged man in yellow robe thought that the other party was dressed so mysteriously, that he might be someone with a grudge against his family who came to seek trouble and learn about family secrets.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked him verbally just to ask him to send a letter to the mountain, which made him feel a little relaxed in his heart.

After wiping the sweat on his forehead due to nervousness, the middle-aged man in yellow robe smiled and nodded quickly, and was about to turn around and leave.

But just when he thought he was about to escape danger, a voice behind him called him to stop again.

"The contents in that bottle are prepared for you. Take one pill first and then go do something for me!"

"I dare to ask, senior, what is this?" Looking at the cyan jade bottle in his hand, the middle-aged man in yellow robe became a little nervous again.

Seeing this, the mysterious man in the hat quickly explained: "This thing is a special poison. You must come back to me within three days after taking it to detoxify it, otherwise you will never have a chance again.

This poison was prepared by me personally. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator takes action, it may be difficult to remove it in a short while. I think you should know what to do! "

"This senior,...me."

"Of course, if you want to die now, I can't help you.

It's just that I don't have any big grudge against you. I'm just here to do some things. You should be able to tell this without me having to say more.

How to choose, you might as well decide it yourself! "

Hearing the "kind" reminder from the mysterious man in the bamboo hat, Li Quansheng's face turned pale. After opening the jade bottle in his hand with some trembling, he gritted his teeth and poured the elixir inside into his mouth.

Then Li Quansheng bowed his hands to the mysterious man in the bamboo hat, quickly left the house, and disappeared directly into the night.

After Li Quansheng left, the mysterious bamboo hat slowly took off the bamboo hat covering his face, revealing a very ordinary face.

It only took less than half a day, and Li Quansheng ran back quickly before the sky was bright, and saw Song Qingming who was still pacing in the house.

"Senior! I have fulfilled my mission and met Ancestor Xuan Yi.

Ancestor, please follow me to the outside of Fangshi later to meet her! "

Hearing the anxious words coming from Li Quansheng's mouth, the mysterious man in the bamboo hat showed a bit of satisfaction on his face, and then nodded to him and said:

"Okay! You take these spiritual stones first. When I see her later, the antidote will be given to you."

After the mysterious man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, he threw a bag of spiritual stones to Li Quansheng again, causing a rare look of joy to appear on his face.

After more than an hour, seeing that the sky was already bright, Li Quansheng came to the mysterious man in the bamboo hat again, and softly urged: "Senior, the time is almost up!

We'd better go quickly to avoid keeping Ancestor Xuan Yi waiting for a long time! "

"Okay, let's lead the way!"

In order not to attract attention, the mysterious man in the hat did not choose to walk side by side with Li Quansheng, but followed him from a distance.

After the two left Fangshi one after another, they quickly followed a scenic path not far away and entered a bamboo forest.

After walking through the bamboo forest for hundreds of feet, there was a sudden sound of water rushing in front of them, and soon a small river more than ten feet wide appeared in front of the two of them.

After arriving at the river, Li Quansheng immediately stopped, pointed to a small double-story attic by the river not far away, bowed to the mysterious man in a bamboo hat and said:

"Senior, Patriarch Xuanyi is waiting for you in the pavilion in front. If Patriarch has said not to let me disturb your conversation, I won't take you there."

Hearing this, the mysterious man in the hat looked at the "double-storey attic" not far away, and after a while he replied:

"Well! Please go back first!"

"This! Senior, you haven't given me the antidote yet?"

Seeing Li Quansheng looking at him nervously, the mysterious man in the hat smiled directly at him, shook his head and said:

"I told you that if you work for me well, I will give you the antidote, but you insist on being smart, so you can't blame me."

After the mysterious man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, he moved and turned into a beam of light and left the place directly, ignoring Li Quansheng who was still in a daze.

At this time, in the "double-decker attic" by the river not far away, two monks, a man and a woman, who were hiding in the dark, were shocked when they saw this scene, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Hey! Why did this guy turn around and run away? What's going on? Did he see any clues?"

"I say, aunt, the person has run away, why are you still asking this, hurry up and chase him!"

After the two finished speaking, they flew out of the "double-decker attic" and headed straight for the direction where the mysterious man in the bamboo hat disappeared.

Looking at the several beams of light flying away in the sky, only Li Quansheng stood there blankly, holding his forehead with a look of regret.

"It was so close, but why did I fail? Is this really my fate?

Forget it! Anyway, I am a hopeless person in this life. It is a good thing to sacrifice for the family. The family will not treat our descendants unfairly in the future."

Just when he left the bamboo forest not far away, he suddenly found two different colors of light chasing him. The mysterious man in the bamboo hat looked back at the other party and sped up his speed.

Just when the mysterious man in the bamboo hat was about to get rid of the two people behind him, a golden light suddenly flew in front of him and blocked him in front of him, turning into a rough-looking man in a yellow robe.

"Since you dare to come to Yunlong Mountain as a guest, why do you have to be sneaky and threaten my younger generation to pass on your message? Why don't you take off your bamboo hat and meet us openly?"

Faced with the obstruction of the yellow-robed man, the mysterious man in the bamboo hat had a slight flash of surprise in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he took off his bamboo hat directly.

"Daoyou Li, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are well!"

"Daoyou Song, it's you."

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Song Qingming quickly explained:

"Song came here just to see Daoyou Xuanyi. Because I couldn't find a way, I was anxious and had to resort to this desperate measure. I am rude and hope to forgive me.

I just wanted that young friend to help pass a message before. I gave him just an ordinary pill and didn't mean to harm him. Daoyou Li, please don't misunderstand."

"Oh! So that's the case. Daoyou really scared me yesterday. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding."

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Daoyou, did you come here just to see Xuanyi?"

Song Qingming heard this and nodded directly Nodding, "That's right!"

"For some reason, I sent a message to the mountain yesterday, but got nothing. Fellow Daoist Xuanyi and I are old friends, so it shouldn't be like this."

"Fellow Daoist Song, although I don't know your identity very well, I can guess a little.

Xuanyi did have some problems, but some things are related to my family's secrets, so it's not convenient for me to tell you directly here.

If you want to find out about Xuanyi, why don't you follow me to the mountain to meet my ancestor, and then you will naturally understand everything."

"Oh! Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Li!"

I heard that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi was about to get married, and Song Qingming was thinking about how he should congratulate her when they met again.

I didn't expect that it had only been less than a day, and now I heard that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi had something wrong. Song Qingming couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and a look of worry appeared on his face. Without thinking too much, he nodded quickly.

Under the guidance of Li Xuanfeng, the two came to the foot of "Yunlong Mountain" together, passed through the formation and entered the Li family mountain gate. (End of this chapter)
