"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened, where was your master surrounded, and how many sand monsters are there?"
Meng Zhang's calmness probably infected Li Jie, and he quickly regained his composure and began to answer Meng Zhang's questions.
"Master, my master is less than ten miles east of Taiyi Gate and is surrounded by a large group of sand monsters."
"There are dozens of sand monsters in total, but most of them are small sand monsters, and there are only a few soldier-level sand monsters..."
"Master, go and save the master quickly. He is besieged by sand monsters and won't be able to hold on for long..."
Li Jie begged loudly.
After listening to Li Jie's words, Meng Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to Li Jie's description, this is just a small group of sand monsters, not large in number and not strong in strength.
If it was a large group of powerful sand monsters, Meng Zhang would have no choice but to quickly activate the protective formation and then ask for help from Shuangfeng Valley.
If ordinary people are fully armed and cooperate with each other, they have the power to kill the little sand monster. As for the soldier-level sand monsters, they have at most the strength of a cultivator in the Qi refining stage.
Although Taoist Master Zhenling is at odds with him and has always been uneasy and well-intentioned, he is his uncle after all. From the perspective of harmony within the Taiyi Sect, he cannot ignore him.
And Meng Zhang believed that if he didn't help, Li Jie would definitely go to the good old Taoist Priest Qingling, and he would never say anything good about him.
The old head of Taiyi Sect and Meng Zhang’s mentor, Taoist Master Xuanling, died in the battle against the sand monster.
Judging from Li Jie's description, these sand monsters are not very strong. I might as well just go there and think of it as revenge for the old leader.
"Don't be anxious. Just wait here. I will take the magic weapon and set off with you."
After comforting Li Jie, Meng Zhang walked towards the back of the sect's main hall.
This has always been the residence of the head of Taiyi Sect. After Meng Zhang inherited the position of head, he moved here to live.
There are several spacious rooms behind the main hall of the sect, the largest of which is the quiet room used by the leader for retreat.
Meng Zhang walked into the quiet room and tapped the wall next to the door a few times according to a certain pattern. The ground in the center of the quiet room cracked, revealing a downward passage.
Meng Zhang walked along the passage, down the stairs, and entered a vast basement.
The basement was empty except for a halo like water waves flowing on the ground in the center of the basement, emitting a faint light.
This is the core part of the first-order high-grade spiritual vein owned by Taiyi Sect, where the spiritual eye is located.
The first level of spiritual veins is too low, and the formation time is not long enough. Therefore, no spiritual creature has been conceived in the spiritual eyes.
However, not only is the spiritual energy in the spiritual eye the strongest, it is also rich in vitality and has a special nourishing effect.
On the ground in the center of the basement, three items were quietly placed.
An orb the size of a human head exudes colorful light, making people unable to take their eyes away once they stare at it.
When the Taiyi Sect was strong, there was a tradition of refining divine generals to protect the Dharma.
These refined guardian generals are a special kind of creature. Not only are they powerful, but they also possess a small portion of the abilities of real gods.
Later, when the sect encountered disaster, these guardian generals also joined the battle and fought to protect the sect until the last moment.
In many battles, almost all the guardian gods were lost.
There were a few divine generals who protected the law. Although their divine bodies were destroyed and their spirits were severely injured, some of their remaining souls still managed to escape.
The ancestors of Taiyi Sect collected these remnant souls in this orb. I hope that the younger generation of disciples will strive to save these Dharma protectors who have made great contributions to the sect.
The Taiyi Sect has been declining over the years, and can hardly maintain its inheritance. Naturally, it does not have the ability to resurrect these guardian generals.
This orb has the function of warming and nourishing the soul.
In the spiritual eyes with strong spiritual energy, the abundant spiritual energy is absorbed by the orb, which can slowly revive the remnant soul of the guardian general.
A spear with most of its parts missing, only the arm being as short as it was, and the spearhead almost split, was lying quietly next to the orb.
This spear is the spiritual snake spear passed down from the ancestors of Taiyi Sect.
The complete Spirit Snake Spear is a ferocious spiritual weapon that can make even Jindan Daoist fear.
The incomplete Spirit Snake Spear has no power whatsoever, and its power is even weaker.
Of course, although the spiritual weapon is incomplete, it cannot be refined by monks in the Qi refining stage.
Fortunately, the spirit of the spirit weapon still exists, so it can be used reluctantly without refining.
On weekdays, the spirit soldiers and spirit snake spears need to be placed in the spirit eyes to nourish the little remaining spirit.
Every time it is taken out and used, it damages the remaining spirituality of the Spirit Snake Spear. It has to be nourished in the spiritual eye for a long time before it can barely recover.
The last item is a large black disc.
This is a spiritual measuring board commonly used in the world of cultivation, used to test the quality of spiritual roots and physical attributes. An average foundation-building family can afford it.
The soul-measuring plate of Taiyi Sect was passed down from ancestors. It is very accurate to test attributes such as spiritual roots and root bones. Far better than the common street products on the market.
Even a broken ship has three points. Although the Taiyi Sect has been in decline for a long time, it does not have no foundation at all. At least, the ancestors are also rich.
Of course, the treasures stored in the gate are basically a bunch of junk, which can also explain the current decline of Taiyi Gate.
Meng Zhang hesitated for a moment, then picked up the damaged spirit weapon and spirit snake spear, put it into the storage bag he carried with him, and then left here.
Meng Zhang, who returned to the sect's main hall, said directly to Li Jie without saying any nonsense, "Follow me."
Before leaving, Meng Zhang did not forget to say hello to Hotan Town, asking him to keep an eye on the door.
Meng Zhang and Li Jie walked out of Taiyi Gate and came outside the protective formation.
Meng Zhang took out two talismans, engraved on them were the techniques of lightening one's body. In order to save the little energy in his body, Meng Zhang, who had always been frugal, had to indulge in luxury.
Meng Zhang used one himself, and blessed Li Jie with the other one, and then said: "You lead the way."
After using the light body talisman, the two of them were as light as swallows. One after another, they quickly ran towards the east of Taiyi Gate.
After running for several miles, Meng Zhang asked: "How far is it? Where is your master surrounded?"
"It's not far ahead. We are almost there. The master is fighting fiercely with the sand monster there." Li Jie said without looking back.
Meng Zhang felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what the problem was.
The area where Taiyi Gate is located is a desert plain with a radius of dozens of miles, and there are not even a few larger sand dunes.
When large groups of sand monsters are dispatched, except for a few special species, they are basically loud and unobstructed, often stirring up winds and sand all over the sky. Even if a long time passes, it is difficult to completely calm down.
If Li Jie's master was surrounded by sand monsters not far ahead and had a fierce battle with the sand monsters, the dust would have risen high and the sky would have been filled with yellow sand.
But the vast expanse of desert around it was very peaceful, with not even a speck of dust rising.
On the unobstructed desert plain, if there really was a battle with a sand monster, it would be impossible to miss any movement with my own eyesight.
"Li Jie is lying. His purpose is to lure him out and escape the protection of the protective circle." An idea appeared in Meng Zhang's mind.
This thought had appeared, and Meng Zhang immediately stopped moving forward.
At this time, he no longer had the time to think about Li Jie's plot and pursue the inner story behind it.
Meng Zhang took out a talisman from his storage bag and patted it on himself. Then without any hesitation, he turned around and ran towards Taiyi Gate.
