On a sunny day, an old man and a young child were sitting on the ridge of a field talking.
Ye Ling asked: "Dare you ask me your senior's name?"
The old man said: "The old man's surname is Tian, and he has been farming for generations, so he is called Tianxiashi."
"What's going on in the fields?" Ye Ling muttered to himself a few times and asked casually, "Senior, why are you helping me?"
"When did I help you?"
"Sheng Qingyao came just now. You could have handed me over. Why did you send her away with words instead?"
"That's because you are still useful," Takashiro stood up, looked at the sky, and said, "It's almost time, go put on those clothes, sit here, and continue to be your scarecrow."
Unable to tolerate Ye Ling's objection, Tian Xiashi covered Ye Ling with a raincoat and bamboo hat, and then warned: "No matter what comes later, don't make a sound. As long as you sit still, you will be absolutely safe."
After saying that, Tianxiashi went back to the house humming a tune.
Ye Ling smiled bitterly to himself, but at least he had sorted out his meridians and sent Sheng Qingyao away. He couldn't go against his words easily.
So, Ye Ling simply meditated on the spot and continued to refine the spiritual energy in his body.
After noon, Ye Ling was awakened by a burst of birdsong. He raised his head slightly and saw a large black flock of birds flying from a distance. They were all different kinds of birds and they were all monsters.
The leader was a colorful parrot with a curved beak and strong claws: "
Born on the top of Yushan Mountain in the sea of clouds, I have a wealth of knowledge and words to speak of.
The feathers vibrate in the wind and soar into the vast sky, and the sound and effect sentences learned are mixed in the dust.
Immortal birds do not suffer in mortal cages, but their spirituality can be turned upside down.
It's best to use your lips and tongue to speak evil words, but even if Dongchuan is full of evil, it won't be enough. "
This is a colorful parrot beast, which is the pet of an elder of the Holy Spirit Sect. He is a kind person, but he loves to sow discord and cause trouble.
This parrot led a large group of bird monsters to the front of the hillside, and said: "Old man Tian, like a cow, has no results after working all day. He was tired yesterday, worried today, and will be as busy as a dog tomorrow. Serve dad, serve mom. , it’s just that I didn’t get married. Who can I blame for not getting married? I’m too ugly and have no one to accompany me. I think about it during the day and cry at night. Don’t be a farmer in the next life. Prescribe elixirs and plant fairy grass. It’s better to go home and sleep. Sleep big. Jie, don’t go out and meet me in a group. Form a group, eat a meal, and turn your herbs into dung!”
Parrots and other birds and beasts that can speak human words are screaming crazily, and other birds and beasts are screaming along with it. It's like a group of demons dancing around, which is very troublesome.
Ye Ling secretly said: "No wonder the senior said that there are birds coming to cause trouble, it turns out it is true."
The parrot stopped in mid-air, flapped its wings and looked at Ye Ling who was hiding under the raincoat and bamboo hat. He thought it was Tian Xiashi sitting here, so he said to him: "Old man Tian, those things in your garden today are us. Food in your mouth and food in your belly, let me see what you can do!"
Ye Ling saw that although this parrot was small, it still had Yingchong realm cultivation. Among the birds and beasts behind it, there were also many monsters with Lingxu realm and Qingyou realm strength. If it really made a move, he was sure There is no bargain to be gained.
Therefore, Ye Ling had no choice but to obey Tian Xiashi's words and remained motionless or silent.
Sure enough, although the parrot kept shouting, it still didn't dare to take even one step forward.
The two sides remained in a stalemate until the sun set in the west. The parrot scolded him all afternoon, and he was simply stronger than those worldly shrews and wives.
Finally, the birds and beasts became exhausted and turned away. Before leaving, the parrot didn't want to let go of a harsh word: "I will come again tomorrow!"
Ye Ling couldn't help but shudder. If he listened to this for another afternoon, he would really go crazy.
Not long after, Ye Ling heard Tian Xiashi yawning and walking up behind him and saying, "As we get older, we just sleep less. I thought I could sleep until dawn tomorrow!"
Ye Ling quickly stood up and said helplessly: "Senior, what's going on with these birds?"
"You have seen them, they are just a bunch of bastards and scoundrels," Takashita lit his pipe and said, "They come here to cause trouble every day, which really annoys me to death. Fortunately, you came here today and allowed me to take a nap. "
Ye Ling smiled bitterly in his heart: "You old man can take a nap, but I have been scolded by you all afternoon."
However, Ye Ling also got some information from the parrot's words. This matter should be worshiped by the Holy Spirit Cult. It can be regarded as joining the Holy Spirit Cult but not as a member. The old man is also nicknamed "Nanyuan Farmer". It is said that he is one of the so-called "Seven Wise Men outside the Clouds" and his strength is unfathomable. However, he has an eccentric personality and only likes farming.
Tian Xiashi was smoking a cigarette and said to Ye Ling: "If you are tired, go to the room to rest. If nothing happens, just look after my children for me."
Ye Ling said in a dilemma: "Senior, I still have to find a way to leave the Holy Spirit Sect, and I can't delay my cultivation..."
Before he finished speaking, Tian Xiashi interrupted him and said: "Don't think so much, look more at these lovely children in front of you. You will know in the future that everything in the world is nothing more than vegetation."
After saying that, Tian Xia turned around and went back to the house, leaving Ye Ling standing alone in the night wind in a daze.
As everyone knows, in the woods far away, a black bird with two shining eyes caught all this: "I have to tell the boss about this quickly!"
Under the moonlight, this black bird flapped its wings and flew away in one direction...
…………
It was late at night, and Sheng Qingyao, Qiu Yu, and Qing Lan were sitting in the main hall without saying a word. They had been searching for a day, but there was still no sign of Ye Ling.
Qinglan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "If I see him, I will beat him into a pig's head!"
"Good sister, who are you angry with?"
A delicate voice came into the hall, and then the fragrance filled the room. Xu Mi walked in with a jade cigarette rod in his hand and legs as long as white jade.
Sheng Qingyao stood up quickly, and Qinglan said bitterly: "It's not that..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
Xu Mi smiled and said to Sheng Qingyao: "I heard what Xiaolong and Qingqing said, you brought that boy back? My sister tells you that men are the easiest to deal with. As long as you keep him by your side, sooner or later he will change his mind! "
Sheng Qingyao said anxiously: "Sister Mi, I won't hide it. Ye Ling ran away from me and I didn't find anyone all day long."
"Oh?" Xu Mi frowned slightly, but he was very calm. After thinking for a while, he said: "Ye Lingfei is a disciple of our sect. If he wants to leave this world, it is absolutely impossible. If an outsider is caught, there will be news already. Come to think of it, Ye Ling is still safe now and is just playing hide and seek with us."
After listening to Xu Mi's words, it can be at least inferred that Ye Ling has not been involved in danger, so Sheng Qingyao felt a little relieved: "But these seventy-two peaks and thirty-six streams are so vast, how can we find them in a short time?"
"Don't worry, sister," Xu Mi said with a smile: "In a few days, the Holy Spirit Sect will open its gates to welcome guests from all over during the leader's birthday celebration. Ye Ling will definitely take this opportunity to flee. We only need to send people to guard everywhere. We will definitely be able to find him at the mountain gate. Just bring him back in time."
Qinglan's eyes lit up and she said: "Sister Mi, what a good idea, unless the kid can really fly out."
Qiu Yu was slightly worried: "There are many guests during the celebration, and it's a mixed bag. It's best not to cause any trouble."
"Don't worry," Xu Mi puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "No one dares to cause trouble at this celebration!"
…………
Night shrouded a cliff. On a bluestone beside the cliff, an old Taoist in green was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed. Two disciples in white below him stood with swords in hand.
The one on the left looked sleepy and yawned. The one on the right whispered: "You must be sleepy, so am I."
When the two people saw the old Taoist being in concentration, they looked at each other, quietly walked aside, and sat down against a rock.
One person said: "I thought it would be a good job to follow the elders this time, but I didn't expect to have to eat and sleep in the open all the way. I really suffered a lot. If I had known, I would have stayed in the sect."
Another person advised: "Stop complaining. I heard that the Holy Spirit Sect is a pure and blessed place, which is most suitable for monks to practice. It can be better to stay there for a few days than to practice in seclusion for several months, so we can It’s a huge advantage, and it’s not too late for you to have fun!”
Seeing that his companion still looked disdainful, he smiled strangely and said: "I also heard that there are countless female cultivators in the Holy Spirit Sect, all of whom are outstanding in appearance. If you are lucky enough to meet one or two fairies, and become a Taoist couple in the future, it will be really enjoyable. What an endless blessing!”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of lust.
"Two bastards!"
At this moment, a shout and curse rang out, and then a figure was seen flashing from behind the stone. Before the two disciples could react, they were slapped on the shoulder by the person who came, vomiting blood in their mouths, and collapsed to the ground.
"With your level of cultivation, are you qualified to find a Taoist companion? What a fool's errand." The person who came showed his appearance, but it was Qu Zhiruo.
The two disciples covered their chests and kept coughing: "Elder, help!"
"Master has an enemy!"
"Shut up!" Qu Zhiruo stepped on a disciple's chest and said viciously: "If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"
The disciple turned pale and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
The old Taoist on the bluestone woke up leisurely, but suddenly found a sword blade pressed against his throat, and a man in white stood beside him, silent.
The old Taoist was panic-stricken: "This fellow Taoist, I don't know if there is anything offensive about this, please make it clear."
That man was naturally Chen Changying. At this moment, his face was stern and he asked: "Tell me your name, where do you want to go?"
"The old Taoist named Mingku is the elder of the Wugu Sect. He and his two disciples are going to the Holy Spirit Sect to celebrate his birthday. I wonder what's wrong with you?"
Chen Changying took back his sword and said again: "I am also a disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult. I wonder what proof you have for going to celebrate your birthday and what gift you gave?"
"Here is the invitation," the old Taoist hurriedly took out a golden letter and handed it to Chen Changying, smiling: "There is nothing very precious in the small mountain sect, except for a three-thousand-year-old water spirit ginseng. I would like to express my gratitude to your sect and congratulate Master Lu on his birthday!" "
Chen Changying took the invitation and nodded, then extended his hand and said, "I wonder if you can show me the gift first?"
"this……"
Although Old Taoist Mingku was hesitant in his heart, facing people from the Holy Spirit Sect, especially those whose cultivation levels were much higher than his own, his sect was already a low-level sect and he did not dare to offend them at all.
In addition, Lao Dao went to the Holy Spirit Sect to celebrate his birthday this time, and there is another very important thing, that is, he hopes to take this opportunity to join the Holy Spirit Sect and receive blessings.
Therefore, even though the old Taoist was unhappy, he still put on a smile, took out the birthday gift and handed it to Chen Changying and said: "Exalted Immortal, please see, this is the gift prepared by our sect."
Chen Changying took the gift box and opened it. He saw a palm-sized ginseng, filled with water vapor all over his body. It was indeed an extraordinary product.
Chen Changying nodded, and seemed to remember the name of the old Taoist, and said silently: "Mingku, Wugu Sect, I have remembered it."
Seeing Chen Changying's young age and profound cultivation, the old Taoist thought he was a prominent figure in the Holy Spirit Religion and wanted to make friends with him. Who would have thought that the next second, Chen Changying put away all the invitations and gift boxes and slashed him with a sword? The head of the old Taoist was lost.
The bluestone was dyed red with blood, and the old Taoist's head and body were blown off by the mountain wind and fell into the cliff.
"Elder!"
"Master!"
The two disciples shouted tremblingly, but Qu Zhiruo struck out with two palms from his backhand and knocked the two disciples off the cliff: "Go with your master!"
These two disciples were only at the Huiling Realm, so they could not withstand Qu Zhiruo's two palms. They were shocked to death by the force of the palms in mid-air before they fell to death.
"You are taking human life seriously! You two are taking human life seriously!"
Qin Xiao panted and ran to the cliff. He happened to witness the murder scene. He pulled out the rusty iron sword, pointed at the two people and said: "As long as I am here, I will never allow you gangsters to do whatever you want!"
Qu Zhiruo was like a child who was caught making trouble, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't have the confidence to speak: "We...you...what can you do to us?"
Qin Xiao said angrily: "I will avenge those three people just now even if I risk my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiao rushed over with an iron sword.
Qu Zhiruo didn't know what to do for a moment. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, hiding behind Chen Changying: "Master Chen, what should I do?"
Chen Changying smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a stream of spiritual power turned into a rope, tying up Qin Xiao.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Qin Xiao is just a mortal body. Up to now, he has just perfected his body. Strictly speaking, he is not a monk. So no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Chen Changying turned around and said to Qu Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, when dealing with men, this woman must learn to tell white lies, so that she can treat the man submissively. Do you understand?"
Qu Zhiruo shook his head. For so many years, she had regarded him more as a man, how could she understand the thoughts of a little woman.
Chen Changying echoed: "You only need to do this, this, and this... Do you understand?"
Qu Zhiruo nodded, but felt a little unsure: "Is this feasible?"
Chen Changying nodded and said, "Don't worry, just do as I say and I'll make sure this kid doesn't do it again."
After saying that, Chen Changying lightly picked up his fingers, and the power that restrained Qin Xiao dissipated. Qin Xiao regained his composure. Without saying a word, he picked up the iron sword on the ground and started to act chivalrously.
"Stop!" Qu Zhiruo shouted: "Since you say you are a hero, I have something to ask you!"
Qin Xiao was furious, but still stopped and said angrily: "You ask, let me see how you can quibble!"
Qu Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you know what these three people are going to do?"
"I don't know."
"They are going to join the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"How about that?"
"Do you know who the Holy Spirit Church is?"
"Of course I know," Qin said with a smile: "When I travel around the world, I often see them deceiving people. They must be evil and evil, and everyone will punish them!"
"If that's the case, should those who want to join the Holy Spirit Cult be killed?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help being stunned, and nodded subconsciously: "It should be killed."
"Since it's time to kill," Qu Zhiruo slowly walked up to Qin Xiao, took Qin Xiao's hand, tilted his head and said with a smile, "Then how could we kill innocent people indiscriminately? We are just as good at it as you are. Chivalrous and righteous!"
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded and said: "So that's it, I wrongly blamed you and General Chen."
Qu Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xiao put away his sword, and turned back to Chen Changying with a grateful expression.
Chen Changying said: "They are going to the Holy Spirit Sect to pay their birthdays. We just used their identities to go there. From now on, I am Taoist Mingku, and you two are my disciples. Do you understand?"
In front of the general, every word is a military order. Qu Zhiruo and Qin Xiao have been in the military camp for a long time and have understood this. They immediately accepted the order. They looked at each other and raised their hands to Chen Changying: "Master!"
Chen Changying looked at the sky and said, "There are less than three days left, we should hurry up and get on our way!"
