An hour later, Lu Zhongran walked out of the Shangshan Hall. A group of disciples waiting outside gathered around and asked Lu Zhongran, "Uncle Lu, why have you stayed in there for so long?"
"How is it? Uncle Lu, have you passed the test of Master Hongqing?"
"Uncle Lu went in for an hour, which was much longer than us. He should have passed."
Lu Zhongran also smiled and gave the answer: "I have passed the test of Master Hongqing."
The disciples exclaimed, and then began to ask how Lu Zhongran passed the test.
Regarding the questions from these juniors, Lu Zhongran said with a smile: "It's very simple. I sat in the hall for an hour, and then Master Hongqing said that I passed the test."
"Ah?" All the disciples were stunned, "Uncle Lu, didn't you see those illusions?"
"Illusion?" Lu Zhongran asked.
The disciples nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's those...those illusions that appear in your mind and constantly tempt you."
At this point, some disciples even blushed.
Lu Zhongran smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Oh? Those are the ones, they are pretty good-looking."
"It's pretty..." Everyone looked at Lu Zhongran with admiration. He was not tempted at all, right?
But everyone soon realized, "So, Uncle Lu, you are going to Xizhou as an envoy?"
Lu Zhongran nodded and said, “Absolutely.”
When everyone heard this, they were no longer as relaxed and cheerful as before, and everyone had a deep look of worry on their faces.
Lu Zhongran did pass the test, and was quickly selected by Fang Jian as Tianshi Mansion's special envoy to the Western Continent.
Moreover, Lu Zhongran was summoned by Fang Jian alone to give him face-to-face instructions.
"Take this thing with you." Fang Jian turned his hand, and a folding fan shining with jasper aura appeared in his hand. Fang Jian's hand flashed with fairy light and sent the folding fan in front of Lu Zhongran.
Lu Zhongran looked at the exquisite green folding fan in front of him, his face tightened slightly, and he said: "Master Hongqing, I am quite old, is this... inappropriate?"
Fang Jian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "I sent you to the Western Continent as an envoy, not to make a marriage. This fan is called the 'Xuansu Jasper Fan'. It is a magic weapon given to me by a great immortal. Now you take it with you to the Western Continent. use."
When Lu Zhongran heard this, he nodded suddenly, then took the fan and said with a smile: "If we really go to get married, I, an old man, won't compete with the young people for this spot."
Fang Jian laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe Patriarch Bo Xun will send a Rakshasa girl to seduce you."
Lu Zhongran was a little curious at this time and said: "Master Hongqing, I heard that the men of the Rakshasa clan are extremely ugly and the women are extremely beautiful. Is this true?"
This stopped Fang Jian from asking. He held his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Well... there seems to be such a saying, but I haven't seen it before."
"Okay." Lu Zhongran nodded and said, "When I go to the Western Continent, I might be able to meet one or two people from the Rakshasa tribe."
But Lu Zhongran said with some regret: "However, maybe I can't tell Master Hongqing what the Rakshasa tribe is like."
Fang Jian's smile faded, then he looked at Lu Zhongran seriously and said, "I will know."
Lawrence Lu looked at Fang Jian in surprise.
Fang Jian added again: "I will know the moment when I lead the Tianshi Mansion to eliminate the real demons of the outside world, Hao Lan."
"I'm looking forward to this day." Lu Zhongran smiled broadly, "Although I may not be able to see that day either."
After saying that, Lu Zhongran put the Xuansu Jasper Fan into his Niwan Palace.
The next moment, a burst of fresh air surged out from his Niwan Palace, instantly sweeping away all the impurities in his soul, and his whole person became extremely clear and refreshing.
Three days later, Donglu, Nanling Mountain.
Fang Jian personally led all the disciples of Yangshen Realm and above in Tianshi Mansion to Nanling Mountain to see Lu Zhongran off.
Everyone, including Lu Zhongran himself, also understood that there was basically no way he could come back, but Fang Jian needed such a person, and the Tianshi Mansion also needed such a person to send envoys to the Eastern Continent, so Lu Zhongran had no hesitation.
"After you arrive at Canglan Sea, someone will pick you up and send you to the Western Continent." Fang Jian said to Lu Zhongran.
Lu Zhong replied: "Yes, Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian smiled faintly, and then said, "Say goodbye to everyone." Then he stood to one side.
Lu Zhongran looked at the people in the Tianshi Mansion on Nanling Mountain, pursed his lips, then bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, I will wait for you in the West Continent to collect the corpse!"
After speaking, Lu Zhongran nodded towards Fang Jian. Fang Jian raised his hand and waved, and the protective formation instantly opened a passage.
Because the three golden immortal magic weapons are now on Fang Jian's body, Fang Jian can directly open the guardian array channel.
Lu Zhongran turned back and took a deep look at the people who came to see him off at Tianshi Mansion, then looked up at Donglu, then resolutely turned around and flew into the wind, flying out of the passage of the Dharma Protector Array and entering the Canglan Sea.
...
Lu Zhongran, who entered the Canglan Sea, turned around and looked towards Donglu. He could vaguely see Nanling Mountain through the light curtain of the Dharma Protector Formation and the people in Nanling Mountain.
Lu Zhongran sighed softly, then withdrew his gaze, turned around and landed on the surface of the Canglan Sea.
Then he took out the talisman that Fang Jian gave him and poured mana into the talisman.
The next moment, a golden light flashed from the charm in his hand, and then the calm sea below suddenly became rough.
Lu Zhongran only thought it was an ordinary wave, so he didn't pay attention, but his expression soon changed.
Because he felt an extremely powerful energy under the sea, and this energy... "It's evil energy!"
Lu Zhongran immediately flew into the air, and then a demonic light suddenly rose into the sky from the sea below. The demonic light rolled up the waves and formed a water column.
The water column rose to a height of a hundred feet, and soon it was level with Lu Zhongran.
Lu Zhongran looked up, and immediately couldn't help but be horrified, because standing on the water column was a monster holding a steel fork, wearing silver-scaled armor, with green hair and green eyes, and a fish mouth and whiskers.
And you can feel it just from the aura of this demon. Its cultivation is above the Nascent Soul Realm, and he is just a monk in the Void Refining Realm.
With such a huge gap in strength, there is no way to escape, let alone fight!
Lu Zhongran's heart was gloomy and his face was full of despair. Could it be that he had just taken the first step on his mission to the Western Continent and was going to die here?
Should I go back and tell Master Hongqing that in the future, I don’t need to go to the Western Continent to collect the corpse for myself, I can just come to Canglan Sea to collect the corpse?
It has to be said that Lu Zhongran's mentality is very good, and even at this point he is still in the mood to tease himself.
But just when Lu Zhongran was about to die calmly with regret, he saw the monster flying towards him quickly, but there was no murderous intent on his body, and there was no evil look on his face.
what happened? Did he want to capture him alive?
When Lu Zhongran was stunned, the monster had already landed in front of him, put away the magic steel fork in his hand, raised his hands in a dignified manner and said, "Is this Fellow Taoist Lu Zhongran from the Tianshi Mansion?"
"Uh..." Lu Zhongran was stunned again, how could this monster know him?
Seeing Lu Zhongran stunned, the monster asked patiently again: "Is this Fellow Taoist Lu Zhongran from Tianshi Mansion?"
Lu Zhongran finally came to his senses. He scanned the monster in front of him carefully, then raised his hands and said, "I am Lu Zhongran, but I am not a Taoist friend of yours."
What is a Taoist friend? First of all, it must be the same Taoist. He, Lu Zhongran, is a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion and believes in the Heavenly Court and the Tianshi Tao. How could he and the monsters in Canglan Sea be the same Taoist?
The monster didn't care about these things. After Lu Zhongran confirmed his identity, he said, "My name is Gu Chan, and I came to pick you up on the order of Elder Jingbing."
As early as two months ago, Fang Jian had already decided on the elder of Tianlu Palace and issued an edict to notify Tianshi Mansion. Naturally, Canglanhai also received the edict.
Lu Zhongran was not only startled when he heard Gu Juan's words, but said: "Jing Bing? Why does it sound so familiar?"
Gu Qian glanced at Lu Zhongran in surprise and said, "Elder Jingbing is the elder of the Tianlu Hall of the Tianshi Mansion. Of course you are familiar with it."
"Ah?" Lu Zhongran couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He opened his mouth and said, "Why...how could Elder Jingbing be with the demon...no, be with you?"
When Gu Zhu heard this, he immediately turned to Lu Zhongran with a serious face and said: "First of all, please call me 'fellow Taoist', and secondly, I am also the Heavenly Law Envoy of the Tianlu Palace. Elder Jingbing commands the Heavenly Law according to the decree of Master Hongqing. Ludian, please don’t simply regard me as a monster, it’s very disrespectful, Fellow Taoist Lu Zhongran!”
