On this day, Shen Mo had just returned from the Tianyin Valley Trade Fair when he saw two familiar figures outside the temporary residence.
One of them is Song Shenglong, the elder of the Immortal Lotus Sect.
There are nine sects with transcendent status in the Xuntian Domain, and the Immortal Lotus Sect is one of them. It is suspected that there is a Heavenly Lord of Shenqiao Realm sitting in the sect; Song Shenglong and two other Yuandan Peaks came to the rescue that night when the Guteng Sect was robbed. , Shen Mo got acquainted with him, and later had many contacts with him.
And the other person was actually Yuan Jing, who had been "under house arrest" in Xantian Taoist Temple for more than ten years!
…
Shen Mo immediately hosted a banquet for the two of them.
After three rounds of drinking, Song Shenglong, the elder of the Xianlian Sect, was full of wine and food and left happily. Only two fellow monks, Shen Mo and Yuan Jing, were left at the table, as well as Liu Siyun and other maids who were pouring wine and tea.
"Master Yuan Peak, how have you been doing these past few years? Has Xantian Taoist Temple ever humiliated you?"
Song Shenglong is also a Taoist monk, and it is inconvenient to say many things when he is present, but now Shen Mo has no such scruples.
"Gurgling~~~~"
In the meantime, Yuan Jing drank a full glass of wine. When Liu Siyun poured the wine, he wiped his beard stained with wine and laughed: "It's not bad! In addition to not being able to move around freely, the delicious food There are also plenty of fine wines and spiritual stones and pills. I will treat it as a retreat to practice hard."
"This time I was able to successfully form the Yuan Dan, and I have to thank Xantian Taoist Temple for providing this 'opportunity'!"
Before, when he met Yuan Jing, Shen Mo found that his energy and spirit had transformed to a new level, and he had already passed the half-step Yuan Dan state where he had stayed for many years; if no new Yuan Dan was born in Linjiang Sect in the past few years, Yuan Jing is the sixth ancestor of the Yuan Dan Realm after Shen Mo.
From this point of view, Xantian Taoist Temple is quite kind.
Of course, this is also because times have changed and the situation has changed...
When Shen Mo passed through the ancient teleportation array and came to patrol the sky for the first time, he was chased for a long time by the middle-aged Taoist priests sent by the Taoist temple.
At that time, this world had not experienced drastic changes in heaven and earth, nor had any alien beings arrived;
Xantian Taoist Temple is high above, monitoring the human world, and treats foreign monks and creatures without mercy, and is even harsh on evil cultivators and monsters in the local area.
Not to mention providing training resources for the captured foreign monks!
That is to say, the world changed later and the reform factions in the Taoist temple gradually gained the upper hand, which caused them to change their behavior... After catching Yuan Jing and Yu Yan, master and apprentice, they did not treat them harshly, and not only sent Yu Yan back. He entered the Red Flame Territory and also provided Yuan Jing, who was under "house arrest", with a training place, elixir resources and other benefits.
Shen Mo smiled calmly and said: "Peak Master Yuan is living such a happy life, it seems that I am nosy."
"Hahaha, you kid, stop teasing me!" Yuan Jing shook his head and smiled.
However, he did not say much about his situation while under house arrest.
Even if the Taoist temple did not treat him harshly and gave him the necessary training resources, he was reduced to a prisoner and his situation would not be as easy and happy as he said.
Not to mention the lack of freedom, even the lowly disciples in the Taoist temple can scold him arbitrarily; the pills provided to him are often withheld by those who handle them... and the list goes on and on!
Thanks to Yuan Jingdao's strong heart, he was still able to stick to his original intention and practice hard despite this situation, and thus he was favored by heaven and formed the Yuan Dan.
"In the past few years, even though I was trapped in a room, I often heard rumors about you."
"I didn't expect... After we hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, you would have cultivated to the middle stage of Yuan Dan and possess such terrifying combat power!"
"When the news comes that you have taken away the Taiyi Sword Alliance's mountain-holding treasure and severely damaged the evil half-step Tianjun, my situation in the Taoist temple will get better and better day by day... I can escape from the ring today, and it is you who run through it I am deeply grateful for Zhou Xuan’s contribution!”
"Come, let me toast you..."
Shen Mo raised his glass and drank with him. After putting down the wine cup, he spoke a few words of modesty.
In the past few years, although he had made many efforts to rescue Yuan Jing through the Guteng Sect and the Taoist monks he had met, the change in Xantian Taoist Temple's own attitude was the main reason for Yuan Jing's escape.
Otherwise, he has not even built the divine bridge, and no matter how much he shouts and screams, he cannot shake the decision made by this transcendent force!
It can be said that Shen Mo's efforts played a catalytic role and accounted for about three-thirds of the credit.
"By the way, have the Chi Yan Kingdom and the sect been at peace these past few years? How did you come to this Sky Patrol Territory?"
"You guys go down first!"
Shen Mo waved his hand to reject Liu Siyun and other maid disciples, and then told Yuan Jing everything that happened before he left the Red Flame Territory.
The world undergoes drastic changes, alien beings arrive, soaring snakes and strange dragons swallow up most of Qingzhou, many high-level officials disappear, and a large number of disciples are trapped in the mountains and rivers. Shen Mo uses secret methods to force his way into the secret realm and cleanse the evil spirits with blood...
A series of shocking news, like a hammer hitting his forehead, shocked Yuan Jing, and he couldn't recover for a long time!
…
With Yuan Jing's current strength, if he braves the "River of the Dead", a turbulent flow of time and space, and crosses the Immortal Burial Sea alone, he is afraid that he will perish halfway.
Therefore, Shen Mo rented a new training residence to temporarily allow him to settle down.
When the teleportation array is restored in the future, or when Shen Mo prepares to return to the Red Flame Territory, he can be taken back with him.
After that, Shen Mo went to the Guteng Sect again and expressed his gratitude to Qin Wenzhen and Ge Qing. From the mouth of Song Shenglong of the Immortal Lotus Sect, he knew that the Guteng Sect kept its promise and made a lot of efforts for Yuan Jing!
"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, your term as guest minister will be up in two years. What are your plans then? Can you continue to serve as the elder of our sect's guest minister?" Qin Wenzhen asked expectantly.
Shen Mo smiled and shook his head: "I will no longer bear the responsibility of guest minister."
"When the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons retreats, the many comrades gathered here will gradually disperse, and there will not be so many disputes and chaos as there have been in recent years!"
"Besides, with treasures like Enlightenment Tea here, if the Guteng Sect is robbed again in the future, I will try my best to come to the rescue. Master Qin doesn't need to worry, the friendship between us will be severed."
】
"As for where to go in the future, we haven't decided yet. We'll see when the time comes!"
Although the spiritual resources given to him by the Guteng Sect every year are quite generous, he will not continue to stay in Caiyi Country after the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons disappears, and naturally he will not be able to fulfill his agreed responsibilities.
Shen Mo also disdained to randomly agree to and deceive the Gu Teng Sect's sacrifice resources.
Now, he is waiting for the moment when the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons disappears into nothingness, to see if he can wait until Lin Zhaozai, the evil heavenly king, comes out!
Over the years, Shen Mo has been paying attention to the powerful people who come and go in the ancient battlefield.
When he is outside the ancient battlefield, he will send Yang Chengxiong and other fourth-level demon soul generals to patrol outside the mist. If he enters the ancient battlefield to look for opportunities, he will use the demon soul generals to search for this person's whereabouts. At the same time, he also entrusts Gu Teng He sent Ge Qing, other guest elders and the Yuan Dan realm monks he had met over the years to continue monitoring.
But so far, he has found no trace of Lin Zhaozai!
