Following the sound, I saw a familiar figure flying towards me quickly and stopped in front of me in the blink of an eye. The person who came was none other than Nangong Wan, whom he had not seen for many years.
The other party was wearing a moon-white palace dress. Her style was slightly plain but elegant, and her appearance was even better than before. What surprised Mo Juren even more was that the other party's cultivation level had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"After so many years, Miss Nangong has finally reached this point. It's really gratifying. Mo is here to congratulate you." Mo Juren cupped his hand.
"I would also like to thank my Taoist friend for the gift of "Forgetting Love", otherwise I would not have succeeded." Nangong Wan couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned his own cultivation problems. She also didn't expect that the auxiliary effect of this technique would be so powerful. It was beyond her expectation, and her gratitude to the person in front of her became even stronger.
"It's easy, don't take it to heart." Mo Juren smiled and then said,
"Speaking of which, why are you here?"
"I happened to pass by here when I was traveling, and for some other reasons I stayed in Jinyue Valley for a while." Nangong Wan explained briefly, and then asked,
"How could Fellow Daoist Mo know this..."
"Mo also happened to be passing by and planned to stay for a while to participate in the big trade fair a year later." Mo Juren said as he held the token and pasted it towards the light curtain formed by the formation in front. White light flashed past, and the light curtain seemed to be cut open from top to bottom, revealing a passage about ten feet high.
Seeing this, he just said again,
"This is not the place to talk. If Miss Nangong has nothing to do, why not go to Mo's cave to talk?"
"Sorry to bother you." If it were anyone else, Nangong Wan might still refuse, but the person in front of her was an exception. Not to mention the other person's special status, just the life-saving grace in the past and the subsequent gift of magic were enough to convince her. Trust, tap your head lightly and then follow the other person into the channel.
After all, it is the top-notch cave in Jinyue Valley. Not to mention the concentration of spiritual energy, the interior decoration and layout are also extremely exquisite, and all the things used are of the highest quality.
The outermost is an independent courtyard, paved with bluestone, clean and tidy. The surrounding area is planted with countless exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers lingers in it.
Inside are stone chambers of different sizes, with appropriate layout and complete functions. Whether it is a secret room for practicing martial arts or a beast room for placing spiritual beasts, everything is well planned.
He even discovered a special fire chamber in the innermost part, which was directly connected to an underground fire vein, which could be used for both elixir and weapon refining.
"It is indeed a top-notch cave. The aura alone is much better than the one I rented." Nangong Wan chuckled softly as he looked at Mo Juren walking out of the stone room in front of a stone table in the yard.
"You shouldn't be short of spirit stones, right?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. With the other party's current cultivation level, he couldn't afford to rent a top-notch cave.
Also sitting down, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a set of exquisite tea sets, and then he became even more busy.
"I'm just looking for a place to stay and stay for a while. There's no need for such luxury. Besides, the rental time is too short and I can't meet the conditions for staying in a top-notch cave." Nangong Wan explained softly, but suddenly thought of something, Hua Feng As soon as I turned around,
"Fellow Taoist, you probably won't stay too long. How could you..."
"Not long ago, I visited the Red Dust Fairy of Baye Sect with a friend. Since I received a token from the other party as a gift, I naturally don't need to follow those rules." Mo Juren explained briefly.
"The Red Dust Fairy Ye Xiyue, is that her?" Nangong Wan suddenly understood. Suddenly, her heart moved and she said again,
"That good friend of yours should be Master Ling Qing from Ji Qing Sect. The rumors that she has an irreconcilable relationship with Fairy Hongchen seem to be true."
"It seems that the matter has really spread." Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly and he sighed softly.
"How could such shocking news be concealed?" Nangong Wan shook his head slightly, with unconcealed curiosity in his beautiful eyes, and asked again,
"How did you do it in the late stage of Dan Formation to compete with the early stage of Nascent Soul?"
"How are you sure that the rumors are true? What if they are exaggerated?" Mo Juren asked with a smile.
"Maybe, but I believe it's true." Nangong Wan shook his head slightly, and then said,
"Your many achievements are so dazzling that people have to believe it. It's not just me, I think most of the people who heard this news have the same idea."
"It seems that I can't help but deny it." After listening to the other party's analysis, Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. As for the explanation, it's better to forget it and keep a little sense of mystery.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Nangong Wan suddenly felt a little depressed. With her intelligence, she couldn't tell what the other person was thinking, and she obviously didn't want to satisfy her curiosity.
At this time, a burst of elegant fragrance suddenly came, which was refreshing. Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile and joked, "You really know how to enjoy yourself, and you will never wrong yourself wherever you go."
"The path of spiritual practice is inherently boring. Occasionally satisfying the appetite is also a kind of refreshment." As he spoke, Mo Juren directly pushed the brewed cup of spiritual tea forward.
"Try it, how does it taste?"
"It's impossible that the things that belong to you, the owner of Building Mo, are bad." Nangong Wanran smiled, then picked up the tea cup and tasted it briefly. The moment the spirit tea came into his mouth, his bright eyes suddenly narrowed.
"It is indeed a good tea. Thank you very much, Lord Mo, for the hospitality."
"Family, just feel free to do it. You don't have to be so polite." Mo Juren smiled, but his meaningful words directly made the other party's cheeks turn red.
"Is he... okay?" Nangong Wan couldn't help but asked softly, suppressing her somewhat confused emotions.
"Very good, it's almost time to come back in a few decades." Mo Juren drank tea, but directly gave the answer that the other party was most looking forward to.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Nangong Wan suddenly looked happy. However, something suddenly occurred to him, and his joy was suppressed, replaced by melancholy that could not be concealed.
Mo Juren probably guessed what the other person was thinking, but he couldn't say anything and could only remain silent. After a pause, he immediately changed the topic and said:
"I heard you mention traveling before. How was it? Did you gain anything?"
"It's okay." Nangong Wan came back to her senses and continued,
"I have been to many places over the years, including the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, the Tiandao Alliance, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and hundreds of other countries, and I have gained a lot. Yu Country is the last stop. I plan to return to the sect after attending the big trade fair. .”
"You also want to participate in this trade fair?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said,
"Then why don't you go directly to Tiantian City instead of staying here?"
"Of course there is a reason." After saying this, Nangong Wan suddenly looked solemn, and a slightly incomplete black jade slip appeared, pushing it forward and saying,
"While traveling in other countries, I got this by chance. Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look and talk about it."
"This is..." The moment he saw the jade slip, Mo Juren felt an inexplicable coldness hit his heart, and his heart suddenly shivered. After hesitating for a moment, a ray of spiritual consciousness entered it.
Maybe I was overthinking it, and it was just a false alarm. This was just an ordinary jade slip. After reading the contents inside, I couldn’t help but shine my eyes and said,
"The location recorded here should be the location of an ancient ruins. Are you just going to reveal it to me?"
"Just think of it as a little repayment of past kindness. There may be no treasures in it, so don't mind." Nangong Wan nodded and continued,
"Besides, this jade slip always gives me a very strange feeling. Maybe it's not a treasure, but a trap. It's too risky for me to explore it alone.
Having more than one person gives you more protection. I originally planned to find another friend to join us, but I happened to meet you. Since there are some who are comparable to the strong men in the early stage of Nascent Soul, they simply don't bother to bother. "
"That's it!" Mo Juren did not agree immediately, but groped for the jade slip in his hand and began to think deeply. After a moment, he said,
"Have you ever found the specific location?"
"Going all the way west from Yujing City, you are in the 'Ten Thousand Poison Swamp', which is about 800 miles away. The reason why we stopped in Jinyue Valley this time is for this matter." Nangong Wan said directly without hiding anything.
"The Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, one of the three most dangerous places in the Yu Kingdom, is actually there!" Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while he asked again,
"That being the case, it's still not safe for just you and me. How about adding someone else?"
"You are referring to Zhen Qingzhen, so of course you can." Nangong Wan continued without any hesitation,
"I practice "The Secret of Forgetting Love", which is the supreme secret method of the Jiqing Sect that is not passed down to others. Although I got it from you, I am also grateful to Master Qing. I will take this opportunity to get to know you."
"You should become friends." Mo Juren nodded, handed the jade slip back to the other party and said again,
"When do you plan to leave?"
"Originally, I was thinking of finding a good friend of mine. She happens to be in retreat and won't be able to come over for at least half a year. Now it doesn't matter. You can do it at any time."
"Then half a year later." Mo Juren thought for a while and replied.
"Ah..." Nangong Wan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that I also need to make some preparations to avoid encountering any dangers that are difficult to deal with."
After getting down to business, the two parties began to discuss some details. After all, the Poison Swamp is not a kind place. There are omnipresent poisons, countless poisonous insects and poisonous beasts, etc., so we must not be careless.
There are even rumors that there are some special areas deep in the swamp, and their environment is extremely harsh. Even if a Nascent Soul stage monk falls into it, there will still be great risks.
While they were discussing, a voice suddenly came from outside the cave, interrupting their thoughts.
Nangong Wan's starry eyes flickered, vaguely guessing. Sure enough, Mo Juren directly controlled the formation to open a passage, and said with a smile:
"Here comes the person you want to meet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked in, and it was time to express his feelings.
The moment she entered the courtyard, she was suddenly startled. Then she looked at the stunning woman beside the stone table and said with twinkling eyes: "It turns out there is an honored guest. Who is this fellow Taoist?"
"Nangong Wan of the Hidden Moon Sect, I have met Master Qing." Before Mo Juren could introduce him, Nangong Wan stood up on his own initiative and bowed seriously.
"Yueyue Sect!" Liao Qing's heart moved and she said again,
"I remembered that more than ten years ago, the Hidden Moon Sect had a new Nascent Soul stage elder, and even held a grand ceremony for it. I think it was Fellow Taoist Nangong."
"If you really don't give up, just call me little sister. Speaking of which, the reason why I was able to break through the Nascent Soul stage so smoothly is thanks to the help of Guizong's supreme secret technique "Forgetting Love"."
""The Art of Forgetting Love"! How could you..." Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Master Lingqing's expression suddenly changed. This is an undisclosed secret of the Ji Qing Sect. When he first told Mo Juren about this secret, he had specifically told him that he could only comprehend it himself and never reveal it to a third person.
How dare he? Is it possible that my words are so unimportant? When she thought of this, she couldn't control the loss in her heart, and she even wanted to question the other party immediately on the spot.
However, he still didn't speak after all. Just reveal it, you have given your whole heart to him, why are you still worrying about it? It's just a secret technique, just follow it. In fact, she wouldn't be so sensitive if it hadn't been for "Forgetting Love".
Even though she thought so, she still couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, especially since the woman in front of her was no worse than her in appearance, temperament, or cultivation aptitude, so the uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. After hearing this, she was stunned and looked at Mo Juren subconsciously.
"Stop standing, sit down first." Mo Juren smiled helplessly. After the other party sat down, he made another cup of spiritual tea and handed it to him, saying,
"I have a disciple named Han Li. Miss Nangong is Li'er's... confidante!"
After hearing this, I was finally convinced that I had indeed thought too much, and my mood instantly became lighter. In contrast, Nangong Wan's cheeks instantly turned red after hearing such a straightforward introduction.
The identity of the other party is really too special. He is not only Han Li's master, but also his father-in-law, a true elder. Isn't such a positive introduction a disguised expression of acceptance of oneself?
At least you don't object, right? Thinking of this, I felt shy but also inexplicably happy.
"Han Li, I really wish I had heard of it somewhere..." Master Liaoqing murmured a few words, then suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly and he said,
"You're right, could it be that boy from Yellow Maple Valley in the past, and Yue'er..."
"It's him." Mo Juren sighed, sooner or later he couldn't hide it, and he didn't deny it. After listening to this, Master Lingqing's originally improved mood turned sharply again. When he looked at the other party, his eyes were full of indescribable complexity.
Both of them were silent for a long time. Nangong Wan couldn't help but be confused, wondering what the secret was? But she just heard the name Yue'er. She was obviously a woman. Could it be that she had some trouble with Han Li?
The three of them had their own thoughts, and for a while, the whole courtyard became extremely quiet.
