The two sat facing each other.
"Thanks to the Taoist nun and Su Xinzong for being so considerate, Xue is very honored."
Xue Tong was sitting upright, serious in speech, but his words were quite friendly and natural. Only people he knew well could be called this by Miao Qing.
"Well, Senior Brother Daofa found out that you have extraordinary cultivation and can help you in the secret realm." Miao Qing said bluntly.
"Is it still difficult for the two seniors to reach the realm of heaven and humans?"
"The Su Xin Sect is split, the control within the secret realm is weakening, and it is difficult to open the joints. As a monk from outside the realm, it is much better to invite you to cooperate than from outside the sect in this area."
"Break the joints, is the barrier between the storyboards what the Taoist nun is talking about?"
"Yes, I understand that I don't tell secrets. If Xiaoyou Xue is willing to help, go with me. If you don't want to, just give up. Don't feel like you're being deceived."
"I quit the Su Xin Sect seventy years ago. Brother Daofa repeatedly begged me. In view of my kindness back then, I planned to help the Su Xin Sect again."
"The barrier of the fourth mirror requires the combined efforts of Daofa, Ben Gu, Xue Xiaoyou and several subordinates to try to break through it. Sixty years ago, at the third mirror pass, four people from the Su Xin Sect worked together to barely break through. "
Xue Tong asked for confirmation: "It is said that the monks of the outer sect were unable to break through the barrier. That is because the Su Xin Sect of the third level entered first, and it was the outer sect's turn ten days later."
"Well, this is all agreed in advance. Whoever blasts away will go first, otherwise, wouldn't he be making a wedding dress for others?"
"The Taoist nun didn't go there sixty years ago, why?"
Miao Qing gave a wry smile: "The top management of Su Xin Sect had a break because of the secret realm. Something extraordinary happened to the ordinary heart, and they could no longer hold on. It was a waste of the name of Su Xin. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I quit the sect and established another sect. .”
"Who can control the inner demons and stick to the heart in front of Chongbao?" Xue Tong said.
"It's too far off topic. What fellow Taoists need to remember is that if you help to break open the barrier but cannot enter, you will need to enter with the outside sect ten days later."
"The conditions are a bit harsh, fellow Taoist, please think carefully!"
Miao Qing's eyes were as bright as stars, staring at Xue Tong.
"Oh..." Xue Tong muttered, "I helped Su Xin Sect, how dare I stay in front of outsiders and wait to be beaten by a group of people?"
"You have to think about how to deal with it yourself," Miaoqing said.
"Xue thinks we should go in together. You guys can explore the secret. Xue will wait for nine days at the entrance."
"The request seems reasonable, but Su Xin Sect may not necessarily agree. We will wait until Brother Daofa comes." Miao Qing said.
…
Xue Tong moved into the guest house arranged by Miaoqing.
He checked carefully and determined that there was no secret passage.
A bone puppet was summoned from the practice room.
The Bone Puppet is his spiritual pet that has the most stable growth, and has never been soaked in venom.
Xue Tong cut open the white-headed poisonous python he got from Chen Shen. The bone puppet stretched out his claws and took out the bloody Dacheng-level inner elixir in the palm of his hand.
"After taking this elixir, and then replacing it with the bag of python poison liquid, you can roughly upgrade!"
Xue Tong prepared the venom and added several handfuls of high-grade spiritual stones.
The bone puppet brought the dark green inner elixir to his mouth and inhaled fiercely.
The alchemy body peeled off layer by layer and was broken into fine powder. It spread from the puppet's mouth and gradually covered the whole body, as if it was coated with a layer of dark green "flour".
Until the green powder was completely immersed in the bone, Xue Tong put the bone into the venom bag again to soak.
…
Daofa Zhenren is here.
Thinking back to sixty years ago, the four heavenly beings of the Su Xin Sect were outstanding in the world. However, things were unpredictable. A journey to a secret realm caused great changes in the sect, and now only Daofa is left in the sect.
It's just that his Taoist cultivation has made great progress, approaching the middle stage of heaven and human.
The Taoist priest is wearing a black and blue Taoist robe. He has rich and handsome eyes, is graceful and elegant, and looks like a middle-aged Confucian scholar.
After Xue Tong's visit to the living room, Daofa Zhenren said: "I heard from Junior Sister Miaoqing that Xue Xiaoyou doesn't want to stay outside the fourth frame and be with those people. I'll follow your wishes. Just remember to keep your promise."
Xue Tong glanced at Miao Jing who was present and was quite surprised. He didn't expect Master Daofa to readily agree to his request.
"People need to be stationed at the entrance of the new mirror. If you don't abide by the agreement, anyone who breaks in within ten days will be killed. This matter is left to Xue Xiaoyou. Our sect will send people to assist." Daofa Zhenren said again.
Xue Tong's heart immediately became a little heavy. Once the monks from the outer sect broke the agreement, whether to kill or not, even if they entered on time, they would inevitably encounter a head-on encounter, and there was no guarantee that nothing would happen.
But it was no longer appropriate for him to object again, so he had to agree.
"What should I do if for some reason I am unable to arrive at the storyboard entrance in time and am delayed?" Xue Tong asked.
"The situation in the secret territory is constantly changing, and it is possible that we cannot arrive in time. If we are unable to help due to falling behind, we need to compensate our sect."
"Fellow Taoist, I will pay you 20 million in advance, and it will be refunded when things are done. If you don't help, I won't refund." Daofa said.
"Twenty million is a huge amount... I would like to ask, all the proceeds from the secret realm belong to you."
Master Daofa nodded.
"Will there be frequent fights in the secret realm?"
"In the past, Su Xin Sect controlled the overall situation and vicious incidents never happened, but secret killings are always inevitable, so Xiaoyou Xue had better follow closely and don't fall behind."
"Okay, Xue Tong is willing to go to the secret realm, just let it be."
That night, people from the Suxin Sect came to the door and collected 20 million spiritual stones from Xue Tong.
A few days later, Xue Tong said goodbye to Miaoqing.
"There is still one month left, so Xiaoyou Xue will be more prepared."
"The Taoist nun's light-attribute spells are extraordinary, and her healing medicine and detoxifying pills must be rare in the world. I'll give you the selling point."
Xue Tong got his wish and bought one pill each of the wound medicine and detoxification pill at the market price of 600,000 yuan.
"Looking forward to cooperating with Xue Xiaoyou in the secret realm," Miao Jing said.
"I'm eager to see the Taoist nun!" Xue Tong half-flattered.
He didn't dare to ask more questions about some doubts. He wanted to wait until he became more familiar with them before asking again at the right time.
…
Suxin Valley has been deserted for sixty years, but now it is becoming lively again.
The Suxin Sect has newly sent more than ten people, headed by the elder Cen Cheng.
Cen Cheng is the pinnacle of Grandmaster, and his presence shows that it is he who holds the registration list of monks from other sects.
In order to prevent the list from being leaked, the Suxin Sect leader will secretly appoint a person to take care of related affairs. The monks from the outer sect will first meet with the deacon hall master and then be introduced to Cen Cheng. Whether the list is full and who is on the list, only Cen Cheng and The sect master knows. If there is a leak, the scope of the investigation is extremely small and it can be quickly identified.
"Xue Tong, my sect's white jade tablet!"
Cen Cheng looked through it repeatedly and was sure it was genuine.
"Welcome, Taoist Xue. There are still more than twenty days left. Let's stay here first." Cen Cheng motioned to his subordinates to lead the way.
Xue Tong moved into the valley on the left, in the innermost courtyard. Not far from the courtyard, Su Xin Sect set up another checkpoint, blocking the way to the deepest part of the valley.
Deep in the valley, faint green smoke drifted, bringing an ancient smell similar to rotten wood to the small courtyard.
Xue Tong Anxin practiced the Qi Jin Wu Zhen Sutra.
…
There was a commotion outside the hospital.
Xue Tong vomited thick breath, stopped his exercises and walked out of the hospital.
Four people in the valley, all dressed in non-Su Xin Sect costumes, stood in front of the checkpoint and pointed.
The four of them obviously knew each other, and the leader was actually a heavenly monk!
Xue Tong was shocked. As far as he knew, no outside sect heavenly being had ever entered the secret realm in the past six hundred years.
"Could it be that the rumors of the appearance of the heavy treasure sixty years ago and the reality that Su Xin Sect's strength has been greatly reduced have attracted powerful opponents?"
The old man, Tianren, had a dark complexion and seemed to be good at dark attribute martial arts. The other three masters were at their peak, and they all looked like they had deep auras and deep magic powers.
"The old man's spiritual pressure is equal to that of Taoism, and even higher than that of Hei Lian!"
Xue Tong was just thinking about it when there was another movement at Taniguchi.
Miaoqing walked smoothly, as if floating in the air.
The two women in purple robes behind them are at the peak of their cultivation and attained great success.
Miaoqing was slightly startled when she saw the old man, "Your Excellency is..."
"Ancestor of Nightmare Forest," the monk beside the old man replied.
Nightmare smiled sadly.
"Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Taoist Nightmare!"
"I haven't seen him for almost a hundred years, but I didn't expect that my Taoist friend would become interested in exploring the secrets." Miao Jing said.
"I heard that there are many treasures in the secret realm. I came to take a look."
"Okay, let's all show our talents and rely on chance."
Miao Jing said a few words, turned around and left.
She seemed calm, but she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, "Senior brother revealed that day that the strongest master of the outer sect, why did the old ghost of Nightmares come here? It seems that the seven sapphire cards have changed hands, but the details are unknown."
The sapphire card changes hands, or is transferred privately, or is plundered and robbed. The story behind it is difficult to find out in a short time.
Xue Tong suddenly noticed that a woman behind Miaoqing glanced at him again.
This surprised him greatly.
…
Two days later, three more people came to Su Xin Gu.
Xue Tong suddenly felt heavy.
Outer sect heavenly beings, the pinnacle of masters!
Soon, Xue Tong was invited to the Taofa Courtyard.
Miaoqing and Cencheng were present.
"Cen Cheng, a month ago you said that the one who took away the sapphire card was Wutianren monk, but now it's Yansen and Gao Sheng who came. What's going on?" Daofa's face turned livid.
"I don't know, my subordinates. Could it be that those people bought the jade plaque for five million and transferred it at a high price?" Cen Cheng said with a panic expression.
"You're not famous, are you?" Daofa's voice was stern.
"No, no, how dare I, my subordinates." Cen Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"snort!"
Daofa stood up suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked straight at him with a cold light.
"No subordinate!" Cen Cheng said tremblingly.
"Brother, the deal is done. Now is not the time to pursue the case. Don't make a fuss. If word spreads, outsiders will really think that we have made a name for ourselves."
"Cen Cheng, I want to ask you, how many sapphire cards have been replaced by new ones?" Miaoqing asked, trying to stop Daofa.
"Yuncheng, Luo Xiaowu..."
Cen Cheng trembled and read out the names of the four people.
Xue Tong was shocked and instantly understood the reason for the death of Temple Master Yun Cheng.
"Although the outer sect is strong, we can still defeat them, but the variables are increasing, so we need to be more careful."
"Nan Sen and Gao Sheng have been at odds for many years. Could it be that they have joined forces this time?" Miao Qing said.
"Pay close attention and don't take it lightly. Just treat them as if they are united." Daofa frowned.
He then ordered thirteen people from his side to gather together, and they were introduced one by one by Deputy Sect Master Ji Jianwen.
"Lun Yue"
When Ji Jianwen mentioned the strange woman next to Miaoqing, Xue Tong immediately felt that the name seemed familiar.
"Lun Yue...Lun Yue..."
Xue Tong muttered in his heart, and the sea of consciousness suddenly lit up!
"The affair between Taoist priest Xin Yuan Haochang Guo Lunyue and the master of Dazhen Temple Gan Yuening is the key to the truth about the murder of Princess Jinglong."
Xue Tongzhihai sketched a picture: Gan Yuening and Lunyue fled to Huanchen Zhongnan, and Lunyue worshiped and joined Miaoqing's family.
But whether it is the death of Lunyue, Gan Yuening or Yun Cheng, it has become irrelevant now and there is no time to care about it.
The trip to Su Xin's secret realm has become more variable and dangerous!
