There are always some self-proclaimed decent people in this world who will do some shady things behind the scenes. Just as the true reality is completely revealed, it will go beyond the constraints of benevolence, justice, etiquette, and only human nature can stretch freely.
At this time, in a mysterious valley, the slopes and valleys were filled with ancient and new trees. Waves of clouds and mist rose upward from the valley like a tide, and it was as vast as the sea. There was a faint smell of blood in the clouds and mist.
In the center of the valley, surrounded by clouds and mist, a magic circle was being activated. A group of monks wearing invisible robes that concealed their identities were surrounding the magic circle, performing some ancient ritual.
They held special candles and bells, shuttled through the formation, and seemed to be silently reciting some spells.
As the obscure spells and the sound of bells gradually became stronger, the aura of heaven and earth in the valley seemed to be vaguely stirred, as if a mysterious force could be felt flowing in the formation.
Especially in the shocking pool of blood in the center of the formation, bursts of breathing and slight calls like children seemed to be heard from time to time.
As this mysterious ritual proceeds, the blood in the formation begins to bubble, gradually condensing into the outline of a bloody human face, which is daunting, as if some unpredictable event may occur at any time.
A slight sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the mist, staying outside the mysterious formation ceremony area, faintly conveying a faint spiritual power.
"How long will it take to find him?"
Near the formation area, a mysterious man shrouded in a cloak bowed in response.
"Senior, we can't determine the specific time yet, but we have been able to determine a rough range. He is still in the Eastern Region and is not too far away from us."
"Quickly, the results will be available within thirty days!"
"We will do our best."
The sky is thousands of miles long, and the dark clouds are spreading.
A spring thunderstorm is about to hit, and a spiritual boat is like a fishing boat struggling to cross the river, passing under the dark clouds with thunderous spring thunder, gradually lowering its altitude.
At this time, the dark sky gradually turned pale.
The rolling dark clouds turned into boundless water vapor and mist, blending the sky and the earth together, and the world was suddenly covered in rain and fog.
"Woo——"
The black clouded leopard stood up unhappily, shaking off the raindrops that fell on its shiny black fur like a goshawk fluttering its feathers.
Chen Dengming frowned and pinched the magic formula. The formation runes burned on the surface of the spirit boat suddenly became bright, and a circle of spirit shield like a transparent egg shell appeared, blocking out the rain.
After doing this, he felt that the inexplicable uneasy feeling just now had subsided a little, but he still summoned the soul-inducing flag.
He summoned his brother Zhu Xun from the banner to do something for him to absorb the resentment.
But this time, the brother in the banner circled around and let out an irritated roar. He looked like he was not resentful and ferocious, which made Chen Deng sigh in relief, but also a little strange.
"Three days ago, I no longer had any resentment in the cave, and I no longer felt uneasy. Now it seems that I still don't have any resentment. Why did I feel uneasy again just now?"
He frowned in thought, quite puzzled and irritable. As the weather was oppressive and gloomy at this time, it always felt like there was a conspiracy brewing, as if a pair of malicious eyes were staring at his neck.
He suddenly turned around, and the surrounding area was covered with rain and fog, as if he had just been a suspicious delusion.
Chen Dengming slowed down the spirit boat's escape speed, flew dozens of feet above the ground, and suddenly took out the storage bag Liang Yunsheng handed him before leaving.
This bag was a gift from the sect leader Qiu Feng.
As for this mysterious sect leader, he has never been masked in the past two years since he joined the Changchun sect, but he has heard many labels describing this person in the sect - 'anxious for public service', 'shrewd and capable', 'upright', 'Protect one's shortcomings' and so on.
These words and every line revealed that Qiu Feng was a tough person, resolute and fair in his approach to his disciples.
Such a person seems inconsistent with the imagined personality of the leader of the Changchun Sect.
In Chen Dengming's imagination, the leader of the Changchun Sect should be a warm-hearted person who cultivates healthily, is procrastinating in doing things, and is very Buddhist.
But no matter what, an elder who is gentle internally and tough externally is undoubtedly good news to the disciples of the Changchun Sect. The disciples can straighten their backs when they go out.
At this time, Chen Dengming held the storage bag in his hand, his eyes flickering, and he was wondering whether to open it now and check the contents.
He has a calm personality and has everything he likes under control.
Even if you are not in control, you must at least know what is going on and plan ahead.
What exactly is inside this storage bag and how to use it are unknown.
If you really wait until you are in trouble before you take it out, leaving your safety to an unknown thing, there are too many variables.
"Senior Brother Liang only asked me to take out the items in the storage bag when I have trouble and resolve it. He also didn't specifically ask me not to check it in the middle."
Chen Dengming made a decision while he was pondering, and made a little gesture, his fingertips filled with aura.
The storage bag was untied in an instant. Looking inside, there were only two ancient wooden plaques and a note in the approximately three feet of space in the storage bag.
Chen Denming was surprised and casually hooked him.
Both wooden signs flew out and floated in front of him, exuding rich vitality.
On one of the wooden plaques, the two characters 'Changchun' are engraved with ancient characters from the world of immortality!
On another wooden sign, there are two words "longevity" engraved on it!
"Are they the tokens representing the Longevity Sect and the Changchun Sect respectively? Can you just show me the tokens when I am in trouble?"
Chen Dengming was surprised and felt that it was not that simple.
When going out, if you are in a crowded and prosperous place, it is okay. If you encounter trouble, if you show your identity and pass the threshold, even the Golden elixir monk will be able to sell the face of Changchun and longevity sect.
But if you encounter trouble in an inaccessible place, showing your identity by showing your token may not be effective.
Chen Dengming took out the note in the storage bag and looked at it.
"To deal with small troubles, just send spiritual energy into the Changchun Order. To deal with big troubles, just send spiritual energy into the Longevity Order."
The note was signed with the four characters "Changchun Zhenren". The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and it was penetrating.
Chen Dengming's eyes lit up, considering the difference between a small trouble and a big trouble.
Now that he is already at the late stage of foundation building, the fake elixir overhaul can be considered a minor trouble, right?
Big Trouble refers to Jin Dan Zhenren?
"It doesn't seem right. The fake Dan Daxiu is strong, but it may not pose a life threat to me. If I try to escape with all my strength, there is a high probability that I can escape.
Even if we meet in the wilderness and I reveal my identity, if the other party is not absolutely sure, he will not make things difficult for me. This is not a trouble."
Now his Wood Escape Technique is about to break through the master level and enter the Grandmaster level. By then, his escape ability will be improved to a higher level. If he cannot defeat the fake elixir overhaul, he will still be able to escape, unless he is in special terrains such as deserts, rivers and seas.
"So it seems that the little trouble refers to the True Lord Jin Dan? The big trouble refers to the True Lord Nascent Soul?"
When Chen Dengming thought about it at the end, he felt that it was an exaggeration.
If there really is an old Nascent Soul monster that wants to deal with him, the only thing he can do is to immediately figure out how to die in a flash of lightning, so that he can die more decently, and there will be no time or chance to take out the token.
"Be sure to be safe. If you have small troubles, you should target the fake elixir or the early golden elixir monks. If you have big troubles, you should target the middle or late golden elixirs. It feels a bit unreliable to deal with the later stages. But at least the golden elixir monks can definitely handle it."
No matter what, after thinking about it in his mind, Chen Dengming became less anxious and worried.
It’s cool to have a sect and a backer.
These two brands can make him step out of his waist and become more tough. It's okay to call himself Xiao Chen when meeting people, but it's not okay to call himself Xiao Chen, so he can only show his brand.
He was in a good mood for a moment, but doubts flashed through his mind.
Why did the leader of the faction give him these two tokens, one large and one small, as a gift when he broke through to the late stage of foundation building?
Senior Sister He broke through to the late stage of foundation building, but didn’t give any gifts?
"Maybe they were given away. I don't know. It's impossible to treat them differently. I'll ask Senior Sister later to see what she got."
Chen Dengming activated the spirit boat, accelerated forward, broke through a large curtain of rain, and headed straight for the Luo family in Jiamuguan, which was getting closer.
Thousands of villages can be seen along the way, and large swathes of mortal realms that were once bustling with people are now deserted.
Some feng shui lands occupied by immortal cultivating families in the past are still occupied by some families today, and they are even fighting over resources.
In the two years of war, not only many monks died, but even more mortals died.
Many cultivating families and sects in the Eastern Region will also support mortals, and even some casual cultivators will survive and flourish in the mortal world.
But the demonic cultivators that invaded from the Western Regions didn't care that much. Mortals became the food in the mouths of monsters and beasts, or the souls in the soul-inducing banners of the Soul-Eating Sect monks.
Chen Dengming drove the spirit boat across the sky and flew over the battlefield where some family monks were fighting. Even from a distance, the power of the spirit boat was so frightening that some of the fighting parties gave up and were in awe.
"I wonder which master from the Changchun sect is passing by? It's windy and rainy right now, and our Liu family is willing to provide a resting room for our seniors to catch the wind and wash away the dust!"
When passing by an aura of a hill, a gentle invitation from an old man came from a splendidly renovated Immortal Cultivating Family on the hill.
"Thank you for the invitation, fellow Taoist. I'm in a hurry, so there's no need for trouble!"
Chen Dengming faintly sent out his spiritual consciousness in response, and drove away in the spirit boat.
"A late-stage foundation-building monk?"
Among the families below, an old man in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was shaken. His face showed regret and respect, but he was not surprised. After all, the other party was driving a spiritual boat of the Changchun Sect.
Along the way, Chen Dengming met several immortal cultivating families who invited them to be guests. After affixing the famous trademark of the Changchun Sect, a wild dog on the road would immediately wag its tail and grin in kind to say hello.
In the end, it was troublesome, so he lifted the spirit boat into the air and sped away.
He is not a newcomer to the world. If someone smiles and seems to be inviting someone kindly, he has to give face and be polite and respectful immediately rather than obey.
If that were to happen, I wouldn’t even know it was being sold.
It should be noted that the signature of the Changchun Sect and his status as a late-stage foundation-building monk can be said to make any Immortal Cultivation Family in the Eastern Region shine brightly. A little leverage can make other enemy families dare not Acting rashly will bring many benefits to his family, but he may also get into trouble.
Therefore, now that you are a disciple of a great sect, you need to be more careful in your actions, and do not let yourself be deceived by 'friendly strangers'.
It was only a thousand miles away, and at the speed of the spirit boat, it arrived in just a quarter of an hour.
After crossing thousands of miles, the rain also became lighter.
Jiamuguan is like a giant beast crawling on the plains. The continuous huge and towering city walls appear in front of you like mountains, shrouded in a misty rain and fog, majestic and majestic.
There are many properties of cultivating immortal families and sects in the city, and the auras are shining in the rain and mist in the sky. It really feels like a rainy day in the vast desert, with auras flying across the snowy clothes.
After the war, there was a huge sale of many cheap magic weapons in Jiamu Pass, and as many monks came here to prospect for gold as crucian carp crossing the river.
In the four directions of the plains outside the huge pass, and among the rolling mountains, is where the real Immortal Sect lies.
In some nooks and crannies or on the hills with spiritual veins, there are families who rely on their sects to survive.
Chen Dengming considered the identity of Chen Ming, a foundation-building monk of the Changchun Sect, and it was not appropriate to go directly to the Luo family with this identity, so as not to reveal his current identity. .
It would be better to restore his previous identity first, visit him at home, and then take Xu Wei away in a low-key manner.
If something unsettling happened on the way, he would have no choice but to reveal his current identity and leave by force.
By now, Chen Dengming has thought clearly that the only thing that can make him feel uneasy and uncomfortable is probably the Miaoyin Sect.
Since this sect is looking for him, and even Luo Bing was punished into the confession cave because of this, he must still be unable to avoid the evil star and the human-immortal orthodoxy.
But even though he knew it, he was not afraid. Not to mention that he himself was not a soft persimmon, but the Changchun Sect and Changshou Sect behind him were much stronger than the Miaoyin Sect.
The former Yuan Ying ancestor of Miaoyin Sect has been dead for a hundred years. How dare he forcefully make things difficult for him, a foundation-building monk of the Changchun Sect?
Even if he really had the courage of a leopard, he still had the token given by Qiu Feng to rescue him.
Thinking of this, Chen Dengming couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Why do I always feel that the leader of the faction, Qiu Feng, seemed to know what he was going to do when he went out, so he sent these two tokens.
Not so prophetic, right?
Unless the other party already knows that he is from Nanxun, knows his origin, etc., he will naturally know that the Miaoyin Sect is looking for him.
Thinking of this, Chen Dengming's frown gradually unfurled, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
This is very likely.
In the past, he only explained what happened at the gathering place, but with the energy of the Changchun Sect, even if his previous traces of Nanxun's identity were well hidden, it was still possible to find clues.
If he contacted the Five Immortal Sects again, he would be forced to reveal his cards without even realizing it.
The reason why he hadn't thought of this was because he thought he couldn't find a small corner as far away as Nanxun.
But now that I think about it, Liang Yunsheng didn't continue to ask questions at that time, maybe he just stopped there.
"Whether it is true or not, if it is, then it is best. It proves that the sect will not pursue my past, will not implicate me because of the evil star, and actively supports me. This is the best thing. I am safer. Joining the longevity sect will also Don't worry about bone age.
If not, it’s okay.”
Chen Dengming changed out of the sect's robes on the spirit boat, put away the spirit boat, and then came to the vicinity of Jiamuguan to ask the patrolling monks here about the current location of the Luo family.
Even if he takes off the outer vest of the Changchun Sect, he is still a foundation-building monk, and the patrolling monks naturally respond politely and respectfully.
Chen Denming then thanked him and flew away, heading straight to Luo's house.
If nothing trouble happened to the Luo family, Xu Wei would be safe, and with the strength of the foundation, it would be enough to take Xu Wei away.
At this time, within the Changchun Sect.
Liang Yunsheng was communicating with the sect leader Qiu Feng through the sound transmission jade talisman.
"Sect leader, since the Miaoyin Sect has been looking for Junior Brother Chen, why do you still let him go to the Miaoyin Sect's sphere of influence?"
"Yunsheng, people have bonds. Among us cultivators, some cut off the bonds and attained the Tao, while others regarded the bonds as motivation and sought the Tao.
No matter which way, this is the way, everyone has his own way, why should I stop him from walking his own way?
Besides, now is also the time to let the man named Han from the Miaoyin Sect know that the person he is looking for is already a member of our Changchun sect. What can he do? "
Liang Yunsheng's expression changed slightly, "Sect Leader, Leader Han, is powerful in the later stage of Jindan. Although Miaoyin Sect's Yuanying is dead, this sect had a Taoist Transformation Lord thousands of years ago. Maybe it still has some foundation. "
"What kind of foundation? Can the foundation be stronger than that of our Changshou Sect? That Miaoyin Taoist Master has long been dead, otherwise he would not have allowed his sect Yuanying to be killed a hundred years ago. The Miaoyin Sect has declined, so he is so persistent in seeking the Taoism of others. This is a mistake Got astray
My longevity sect is different. We just let it go. Regardless of whether Chen Dengming has really come into contact with the human-immortal Taoism or not, we let him develop without asking or putting pressure on him. We don’t ask for help to avoid his suspicion.
You just need to give him shelter and development time, and exchange time for space for his future growth, and he will know how to give back to the sect in the future."
"That's true."
Liang Yunsheng smiled and nodded.
Everything is done without regard to the heart, and no one is perfect when it comes to the heart.
In the past two years, he has secretly observed that Chen Dengming has long been aware that Chen Dengming is affectionate and repays kindness. Even if he is sometimes afraid of death, this is normal.
The most numerous people in the longevity sect are the Gou generation.
The question is, are you a stick-it-in-the-mud, totally free-spirited wolf who eats and drinks without caring about the life and death of the sect, or do you still have principles and know how to repay kindness?
If the sect does not vigorously cultivate people with both talents and virtues like Chen Dengming, then who will train them?
The top leaders of the sect are not fools. If they have good talents, they will cultivate them vigorously. As a result, they will cultivate an anti-bone tauren who backhandedly harms the sect at a critical moment. This kind of incident has happened to some sects in the world of immortality for so many years.
There are rows of willow trees with goose-yellow branches hanging on them, which sway leisurely when the wind blows.
The Luo family's new residence is located in the valley deep in Liu'an. The environment is quiet and pleasant, which is quite in line with Luo Bing's temperament.
Chen Dengming wore a bamboo hat and carried a sword on his back as before. He visited the Luo family as an old friend and asked to see Luo Bing, the head of the Luo family, and his old friend Xu Wei.
After showing a little bit of his foundation-building spiritual power, he was immediately welcomed in respectfully and settled in the VIP room.
Luo Ping, the deputy head of the family, was the first to get the news, but when he learned that it was a senior foundation builder who came to visit, he only said it was a Taoist friend that Luo Bing was familiar with.
As a tenth-level qi cultivator, even as the deputy head of the Luo family, it was inconvenient for him to step over to receive him first. After all, Luo Bing was in the family at this time.
This is indeed a weird relationship between a couple. Even among the Luo family, it seems weird. Among the nearby families, it has become a joke.
Women are strong and men are weak. Even if Luo Ping is not the son-in-law, but Luo Bing, whom the matchmaker is marrying, it is really laughable to be the deputy head of the Luo family for such a long time.
However, Luo Ping doesn't care what the outside world thinks. He knows his own family affairs. No matter how much Luo Bing resists, in seven or eight years, some things will fall into place.
It's not good to force him too hard at this time. After all, Luo Bing does have excellent qualifications and is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. The force is strong. If the other party is willing to be a cheap fish, it will be difficult to end it even if the elder of the Dan Sect Jin Dan comes forward.
"An old friend from the foundation-building period is visiting?"
In the boudoir, Luo Bing was also quite confused when he heard the news.
She has a cold temperament and doesn't have many friends. Even if a senior brother or sister comes to visit, she will contact her via message in advance.
"Can you tell me the name of this person?"
"That's right, I call myself Taoist Gu.
He also said that he and Miss Xu were old acquaintances and wanted to meet her at the same time, but Miss Xu...
"Taoist Gu!?"
Luo Bing's beautiful eyes flashed, and her eyes flashed with astonishing brilliance. She immediately stood up and went straight to the VIP room.
Xi'er, who was in the side hall, had also heard the conversation. She looked confused at first, a little confused as to why the eldest lady seemed a little excited, and her steps were longer than usual. But the next moment, she figured out the meaning.
"Taoist Gu?"
"Is it him!? Senior Foundation Architect?"
Xi'er's blood was rolling like boiling water, and her heart was beating as if someone had inserted a drum. She couldn't believe it, and immediately turned around, stumbling a little and followed out the door.
