Wen Guying took Li Chuan to a mountain peak. After crossing the long rope bridge, Li Chuan saw a simple thatched house in the forest.
Wen Guying stopped thirty feet outside the thatched house and said, "There are others here, let's wait for a while."
"Does the old palace master usually live here?" Li Chuan asked.
"Yes." Wen Guying replied.
Not long after waiting, the door of the thatched cottage opened, and a thin old man wearing a gray robe came out. His forehead, eyes and mouth were covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were sunken, but his eyes were still clear.
Wen Guying said to Li Chuan, "He is the master of Cangming Hall."
After finishing speaking, Wen Guying took a few steps forward, saluted Hall Master Cangming and said, "Master Cangming Hall."
"It's you," Hall Master Cangming also recognized Wen Guying. He asked, "How is your injury?"
"It's already done." Wen Guying said.
Then, the master of Cangming Hall looked at Li Chuan and said, "Is this Li Chuan, the successor of "The Classic of Patterns"?"
"You know me?" Li Chuan was surprised.
"Who among the Xuanmen doesn't know about you?" the master of Cangming Hall said.
After a few more pleasantries, Hall Master Cangming said: "Old Palace Master knows that you are coming, so I won't say more to you and will take a step ahead."
"Okay, walk slowly." Wen Guying said.
After waiting for the leader of Cangming Hall to cross the rope bridge, Wen Guying took Li Chuan and opened the door of the thatched cottage.
The interior of the thatched cottage is also very simple, with only a few futons on the floor, a low table, and a raincoat hung on the wall. Yang Jiu was wearing a brown gown and sitting on the futon. When he saw them, he said, "The place is small, you can sit wherever you want."
Wen Guying found a futon and sat down first, and Li Chuan also sat down.
Li Chuan still remembered meeting Yang Jiu in the main hall more than half a month ago. The main hall was very gorgeous, and Yang Jiu's clothes also had many complicated embroideries.
Wen Guying asked: "Master, Master Cangming Hall is here to say goodbye?"
Yang Jiu lowered his eyes, with the helpless expression Li Chuan had seen on his face again, and said: "He said that he didn't have much time left. In the remaining days, he just wanted to recruit a suitable disciple and teach him Mantle and let him collect the body for him.”
As he said that, Yang Jiu sighed and said, "I told him that we should either reopen Jiuli Hall and let the news out, and he would just sit at home and choose." He didn't agree. He said he would do it this time. The apprentice he is looking for does not look at qualifications or understanding, but only whether he is compatible with him. He feels that anyone who can take the initiative to come to the Four Gods Palace to seek opportunities will not be compatible with him."
Wen Guying comforted him and said, "Master Cangming has made up his mind, and if he goes out for a walk to relax, he may be able to break through the life limit."
The corners of Yang Jiu's mouth also drooped, and he said without hope: "Maybe."
Then he said to Wen Guying: "Tell me, why did you come to me to cause any trouble?"
Wen Guying said: "Master, we have been sitting here for so long and you haven't even given us a sip of water."
Yang Jiu had a look on his face. He reached out and brushed it forward. Li Chuan immediately smelled the aroma of wine, and then saw a pot of wine and a few side dishes appearing on the low table.
Wen Guying poured wine for Yang Jiu and Li Chuan, took a sip himself, and then said: "We really encountered a difficult problem and asked the master to take action."
Yang Jiu said, "Just tell me."
Wen Guying said: "I would like to ask the master to take action and place the Jade Rabbit Chasing Sun Formation on Jinyang Peak."
When Yang Jiu heard this, he was shocked and said: "The Jade Rabbit Sun-Chasing Formation is placed on Jinyang Peak? Who are you going to deal with?"
"I'm not dealing with anyone, I just want to use the formation to speed up the flow of time." Wen Guying explained his thoughts, and then he explained to Li Chuan: "A Golden Crow once fell on Jinyang Peak, and there are still traces of the true sun fire there. . Therefore, placing the Jade Rabbit Chasing Sun Formation on Jinyang Peak Mountain can borrow a ray of the power of the true fire of the sun, so that the formation can maintain operation even in the surge."
"No, not Jinyang Peak," Yang Jiu shook his head and refused, saying, "Change the place... just here, I will defend the formation."
"We can't borrow the sun's real fire here, so the sun-seeking array can only operate during the day. And we need at least half a month." Wen Guying said.
"How about changing to the Ancient Tracing Formation? I also know a little bit about the Spring and Autumn Rotation Technique." Yang Jiu said.
"If you use the ancient formation, it will affect the shape of the chrysalis itself in the formation. If you use the spring and autumn rotation technique, it will consume too much. Master, your injuries from the battle with Immortal Yunyi have not recovered yet."
"I'm not dead yet!"
"..."
Li Chuan listened to the two people arguing and drank his wine silently. The fruity aroma is rich, and the mouth is warm and sweet as silk. It is indeed a rare good wine.
After tasting all the side dishes, Wen Guying and Yang Jiu were still arguing.
Li Chuan couldn't help but ask: "What's the danger in setting up an array at Jinyang Peak?"
Yang Jiu said: "Jinyang Peak is the place where disciples of the Four Gods Palace refine their minds. It is a natural confusion that will change with the change of the state of mind. When the state of mind is peaceful, the confusion will be very stable, and you will not even feel the confusion at all. existence; but if the state of mind is unstable, all exits to the confusion will be closed, and it will eventually become a desperate situation."
"Gu Ying, I'm not worried. But you are a mortal. If there is an accident and rescue fails, then..." Yang Jiu didn't say any more. He changed the subject and said, "Gu Ying, you are in During the calamity, you must be more careful in every move you make, and don’t forget your true intentions for temporary gains and losses.”
Wen Guying was silent for a while, and then he asked Li Chuan: "Li Chuan, what do you think?"
Li Chuan said: "I want to accomplish this."
"Then go to Jinyang Peak." Wen Guying said.
"Okay." Li Chuan
Wen Guying looked at Yang Jiu again and said, "Master, Brother Li agreed."
Li Chuan heard Yang Jiu let out a long sigh, and his whole body seemed to be hanging to the ground.
After sighing, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "The child is too old to be taken care of anymore. I can't take care of it anymore."
"Master, Brother Li has also met Immortal Yunyi." Wen Guying changed the subject.
"Oh? How did he find you?" Yang Jiu's interest was aroused again.
"He said that he went to Wochi and then got to know me." Li Chuan told the story of Immortal Yunyi's visit again, and then laughed at himself: "I drank Fengling tea, but I couldn't compose a poem. You really deserve to be a scholar."
"What do you think of him?" Yang Jiu asked.
"I think...he doesn't have a trace of popularity on him, he looks like a sculpture." Li Chuan replied.
"I feel the same way," Yang Jiu said: "The Immortal's lower world has many restrictions, but he has been to the lower world twice in a row in more than twenty years, and both times he came very quickly."
"Do you suspect that he is not the real person?" Li Chuan asked.
Yang Jiu nodded, shook his head, and said, "If there is just a trace of distraction left in the mortal world, then his strength is too terrifying."
After chatting with Immortal Yunyi for a while, their topic turned to the demon cultivator.
Yang Jiu said: "Cang Ming is thinking of accepting a disciple, and maybe it has something to do with this catastrophe."
"Is it possible that all the demon troubles are caused by the calamity?" Li Chuan asked.
"Yes, and no. After the Great Tribulation, the laws established by Jiufeng True Immortal gradually fade away, and more and more people and demons will come into contact with the truth of the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons," Yang Jiu said ambiguously: "And For demon cultivators, being enslaved by the demon clan is not something they cannot bear. On the contrary, following the demon clan, it is much easier for them to break through in cultivation, and if they have offspring, they can also open up their spiritual wisdom."
"Being attached to others is not a long-term solution after all." Wen Guying said.
After chatting for a while, Yang Jiu said he wanted to think about how to set up the formation and drove them away.
Five days later, Jiang Song came.
Just when they were about to give it a try, another person came, it was Gong Wuguang's top disciple, Luo Xueli.
Luo Xueli said to Li Chuan: "Qin Tianjian found something in Qinshuitan, and the master asked me to come to you. I went to Yunqiao Township and wasted no time. Later I found out that you were in Sishen Palace. .”
He said: "Master asked me to tell you what I found. He also said that if you go to the Shenxia Temple, let me go with you."
