Shenxiao Peak.
The main peak of Sanshang Peak.
Shenxiao Peak is located in the mountains and forests, only two to three hundred feet high. It can be said that it is an ordinary place with neither mountains nor water.
But among them, there are towering trees, prosperous flowers and plants, gurgling streams, and a unique cave.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a wooden pavilion named Shenxiao Pavilion. There is a hillside in front of the pavilion, where medicinal herbs are planted, a few stones are placed, and there are people sitting on the stones with their eyes closed and meditating.
It's early June.
The scorching heat is gradually disappearing, the mountain breeze is refreshing, and the light fragrance of flowers is filled with spiritual energy, making people peaceful and selfless.
Living in seclusion like this, with the green mountains as the company, watching the stars move, letting the wind and rain come and go, it is a happy life.
However, there is an agreement at the end of the month.
After that, he may travel again.
"Brother Yu——"
Dang Guiyi hurriedly came from the bottom of the mountain and blamed himself: "There are no rules, you should call me the master!" When he came closer, he raised his hands in a serious manner and saluted, and said: "The three disciples who escaped earlier have returned one after another, or they have already Hearing the news, I begged to worship at the mountain gate again and asked the sect master for permission!" As he spoke, he puffed up his chest and pretended to complain: "Oh, it's just that my sect master's reputation is too great, and there are stragglers from all over the country who come here to admire his reputation. I've been so busy these past two days that I can't stand my feet!"
Yu Ye stretched out his hand to scratch his ears and was forced to open his eyes and said: "If Sanshang Peak recruits disciples, it should be based on character and conduct, followed by cultivation, and it is better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate. As for how to make a decision, you, Senior Sister Che, Li Xuan, Yu Ju and others will handle it as appropriate!"
"As you command!"
Angelica turned around and strode away.
Looking at his turbulent back, Yu Ye secretly shook his head.
He neither agreed nor denied the name of the sect master. Perhaps in the eyes of Angelica and others, everything he is doing now is to rebuild the Immortal Sect.
Yu Ye took out a few spiritual stones and threw them into the beast control ring, then turned over his hand and took out a jar of wine. He took a sip of wine, looked at the scenery of Shenxiao Peak, and muttered to himself: "Who is the person Xie Luozi took away?"
"I do not know!"
In the sea of consciousness, someone answered.
After Qingluo cultivated her soul body, she paid more attention to the situation in the outside world. Whenever he has free time, he talks to Yu Ye to relieve his loneliness and help him share his worries.
Yu Ye drank wine and let his thoughts fly away.
I remember when I first entered Yunchuan Gate, I saw an old man walking against the wind in the distance on the cliff beside Jishui Lake. At that time, I thought I was dazzled and didn't take it to heart. Now that I think about it, it's not an illusion. The master who controls the wind is either Xie Luozi or his companion.
No!
Xie Luozi easily killed Pu Tong without showing up. The powerful cultivation level he showed was far higher than the golden elixir realm. It is speculated from this that he may have formed a Nascent Soul decades ago, and the reason why he stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years was just to protect his companions.
The master of Yufeng whom I met back then must be Xie Luozi.
Another one, Zhan Kun personally revealed that Xie Luozi met overseas monks a hundred years ago. Considering that Qiu Bo and other overseas monks have already suffered all casualties, the origins of Xie Luozi's companions are already clear.
You might as well imagine that a hundred years ago, Xie Luozi met a seriously injured overseas monk and learned of the existence of the artifact, so he sent his disciples to look for him. At the same time, he rescued the monk, hid him with him and took care of him. He was also afraid that the news would leak out, so he used the excuse of seclusion and no one was allowed to come near his cave. After a hundred years of continuous searching, but still unable to find the whereabouts of the artifact, Xie Luozi decided not to wait any longer, and perhaps for another reason, he took the overseas monk away from Qizhou. With the map of the four seas in hand, the direction he is heading to is of course Yanzhou.
Probably so.
Perhaps in Xie Luozi's view, artifacts can only be found but not sought. He can only find more immortality by going to Yanzhou.
And when he walked away, he left a mess behind.
"Are you worried about the chaos in the Immortal Sect?"
Seeing that Yu Ye was silent, Qing Luo couldn't help but ask.
Yu Ye breathed out the smell of alcohol and said: "Please ask the four sect masters to abide by their agreement, and naturally there will be no more trouble."
"Yes, although the chaos in the Immortal Sect began with Xie Luozi, it was also inseparable from the four main sect masters' efforts to fuel the flames. Eh..."
Qingluo exclaimed in surprise and suddenly realized: "You took out the map of the Four Seas, and in order to get the message to Hu Bei and others, you blackmailed fifty thousand spirit stones and promised to inform the whereabouts of the overseas monks. Once all parties abide by the agreement, they will definitely be eager to go to Yan State. And without a few sect leaders who are good at causing trouble, at least we can buy Qizhou a hundred years of peace. Tsk tsk, you are closely linked to each other, have exhaustive strategies, and have a long-term perspective, I really underestimate you!"
"Are you implying that I am a cunning person?"
"Hey, what do you think?"
"Hmph, I was born as a hunter. I only use the world as my hunting ground, and my powerful enemies are tigers and wolves, that's all!"
"And are you a hunter or a monk?"
"Drive away tigers and wolves, and become an immortal along the way!"
"whee……"
"Master Yu——"
At this moment, a woman came over.
It was Che Ju, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure. She still looked calm and composed, but there was a bright smile on her face.
"Senior sister!"
Yu Ye stood up and greeted each other, saying: "You and I, my sister and brother, why do we need to see each other outside!"
Che Ju nodded with a smile and said: "There is someone down the mountain who wants to see you, the sect leader. I'm just reporting the truth!"
"who?"
"I call myself Shangjiang, and he comes from the Linggong sect of Wei State."
"Oh...just ask him to come up the mountain."
"He said you were moody, rude, and scary. He came here to deliver a message and will return to the mountain gate immediately!"
Yu Ye was stunned and embarrassed.
Che Ju was busy with the affairs of the Immortal Sect and explained the whole story, so she said goodbye and left.
Yu Ye couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, you have been practicing for hundreds of years, what is your original intention?"
"Cultivate yourself and help the world!"
Che Ju walked away, her steps relaxed and her figure elegant.
Yu Yechu stayed where he was, deep in thought. He was silent for a moment, then stepped on his sword and flew down the mountain.
Dozens of monks gathered in front of the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain. Yu Yan, Yu Xing, and Hong Qiaoer were surrounded by the crowd, explaining the rules of Sanshang Peak.
There was another middle-aged man standing alone, looking uneasy.
Shangjiang is Yu Tianshi's apprentice.
What is he here for?
Yu Ye lowered his sword light and said: "Friend Shang Dao, how dare you come to ruin my reputation?"
"ah--"
Shang Jiang hurriedly took two steps back and said aggrievedly: "I'm just telling the truth, your reputation is not good, what does it have to do with me!" Before he could finish his words, he hurriedly stepped on his sword and stood up.
"Hey, why are you leaving? What do you want from me?"
"Come with me—"
…
Dozens of miles away.
In a remote valley.
Yu Ye landed on the grass in the forest, with a hint of wariness in his suspicious eyes.
The valley was quite quiet, and no one else was seen near or far. Only Shangjiang, who had arrived first, was hiding more than ten feet away, looking around with a guilty look.
Yu Ye's face darkened and he scolded: "Shangjiang, what are you doing?"
"I……"
Shang Jiang hesitated.
Suddenly I heard someone complaining: "Oh, he has a loyal character, but he lied because he was afraid that you would fall out and deny him!"
There was a flash of light, and a middle-aged man emerged from the ground.
"Master Yu?"
Yu Ye frowned slightly.
It was Yu Tianshi who had been dead for decades, and he had paid homage and offered incense in front of his tomb, but at this moment he appeared alive in front of his eyes.
"Uh-huh!"
Master Yu nodded repeatedly and said: "Fellow Taoist Yu, we haven't seen you for a long time, and you..." He stretched out his hand and twirled his beard and asked curiously: "Are you not surprised at all to meet again after decades?"
According to common sense, Yu Ye should be shocked, but he just frowned slightly, but his face was extremely calm, and he said coldly: "Fortunately you showed up in time, otherwise..."
"How about you go smash the mountain gate again?"
Master Yu Tian opened his eyes, waved his hand and walked over, saying: "Oh, I am really afraid of you. Now everyone in the Linggong Sect is in fear. It is said that you captured the two masters alive and severely injured the Jindan master. , shocking hundreds of comrades, how can my little Guangji Mountain withstand your repeated tossing. However, I also have difficulties..."
"Why are you so ignorant of my dragon armor?"
"Sit down and talk—"
Master Yu sat on the grass and said separately: "After you were trapped in Kongtong Realm, people kept coming to ask for thunder and fire talismans and various magic weapons, and they insisted that you and I were in cahoots, trying to destroy my Linggong Sect as an excuse. . I am overwhelmed by the trouble, but I have no choice but to cheat myself to death in order to get rid of the problem!"
】
?????????????????? Shang Jiang took the opportunity to complain: "Over the years, my master and the Linggong sect have been harmed by you!"
Master Yu continued: "Even if you escape from Kongtong Realm, I don't dare to show up, lest I cause trouble again. It's so difficult..."
The master and apprentice talked about the past, and their words were filled with sadness and helplessness that they could not bear to look back on.
Yu Ye's expression softened, he smiled, took out two jars of wine and placed them on the ground. He raised his hands and bowed, saying sincerely, "Forgive me for being reckless and ignorant. I apologize!"
It is also a kind of responsibility to correct mistakes.
A smile appeared on Master Yu Tian's face, and he sighed: "I know you were suspicious. Although you smashed the mountain gate, you cared about the old relationship and did not embarrass my senior brother and two disciples. Recently I heard that you actually settled the grievances of the immortal gate. , shaking hands with everyone and making peace, I think it’s time to go down the mountain, but I’ve been pretending to die for many years and it’s not convenient to show up for a while..."
Yu Ye lifted up his clothes and sat down, eagerly asking: "Where is my dragon armor?"
Yu Tianshi rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "I haven't seen you for decades, but you haven't changed at all. You are still so fussy and like to take advantage of me!"
Shang Jiang came over, grabbed the wine jar, took a sip of wine, and reminded: "Master, he has become more powerful now. He is already a golden elixir monk, the master of the Sanshang Peak Sect, and there is an endless stream of people coming to seek refuge..."
"Master?"
Yu Tianshi said in astonishment: "You have the legendary map of the four seas and should go to Yanzhou. How can you covet fame and ease and be willing to be trapped in Qizhou?"
"Dragon Armor——"
Yu Ye only remembered his dragon armor.
Master Yu Tiansheng groaned, and there was something in his hand. But before Yu Ye reached out, he hid the thing in his hand behind his back.
"Oh, I can't let fellow Taoist Yu's hard work go in vain. I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed to refine it?"
"Fifty thousand dollars."
"Ah, you dare to blackmail..."
"Take me to Yanzhou, I don't want a spiritual stone!"
"You haven't formed the elixir yet, so it's hard to cross the sea."
"I have been cultivating to the perfection of foundation building for many years, but if I encounter a chance, I may be able to form a golden elixir, otherwise I will not have much time left. And it is difficult for me to improve my weapon refining and talisman making skills. I can only go overseas to seek immortality and seek the path. , Only then can we explore ourselves and take a further step forward!”
"It has nothing to do with me..."
"I died for you once and saved your life. If you don't agree, how can you rest your conscience?"
"You are relying on me..."
"Fellow Taoist Yu, please promise my master. Having him help you refine magic weapons and talismans is a huge advantage!"
