With Li Changting escorting him, the journey was naturally smooth.
Half a month later, the caravan came to a satellite city near Yucheng for inspection.
Seeing that it would take a lot of time, Li Changting parted ways with the caravan and went straight to Sheocheng.
The mortal migration plan has been implemented for two years, and there are already nine satellite cities near Sheocheng. It can be said that the stars are shining over the moon.
As the center of the city, Goucheng is many times more prosperous than before. Pilgrims who come here can be seen everywhere on the streets. Pedestrians are crowded shoulder to shoulder, and the smell of incense is so strong that it cannot be dissipated.
Li Changting entered the city gate, glanced at the passers-by, and saw many monks mixing in the crowd. Although their faces were not as pious as ordinary people, they all had a look of respect and admiration.
Li Changting was not surprised when he saw this. He had also heard a little bit about Shen Ji's origin. She sacrificed her life to establish the Yin Realm Gate and had great kindness in the world of Dongzhou cultivation. The monks should respect her.
Flying was prohibited over Sheocheng. Li Changting saw the tall temple at the end of the main road from a distance. He was not in a hurry. He calmly followed the flow of people and looked left and right from time to time. He was very interested.
Such a grand scene of Shintoism is absolutely impossible to have in Xizhou.
Half a day later, Li Changting walked to the steps of the temple, holding a handful of incense threads stuffed by enthusiastic pilgrims in his hand, his face a little confused.
He was just walking around casually along with the flow of people, why was he inexplicably brought here to worship?
Not to mention that she was just a small foundation-building monk when she died. She was really a senior with unfathomable cultivation. What does she have to do with him as a monk from Xizhou?
"Why don't you leave?"
"Come on, why don't you go in with the incense?"
"If you don't want to go in, get out of the way and don't block the way!"
"..."
Li Changting looked helpless when he heard the urging from a group of people behind him.
That's all, just do as the Romans do.
He lit the incense stick and stepped across the threshold.
As soon as Fang entered the temple, Li Changting's ears suddenly became quieter.
He raised his eyes and glanced around, and saw only two or three people in the hall, worshiping in front of the statue of Shen Ji, which was completely different from the crowd outside the door.
"What a powerful incense!"
Li Changting secretly marveled. He went over to insert the incense string into the incense burner, and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he noticed a young man in black with an extremely young face kneeling on the futon.
Li Changting's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that this man was not good at appearance. His bone age corresponded to his appearance, and he was at most in his early twenties.
He is so young, but his cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building, and there is a sharp sword energy surrounding him.
genius!
He is still an extremely rare swordsman genius, and it is very possible that he has even understood the meaning of the sword!
If such a genius were to accept the baptism of Xizhou again, he would be regarded as a monster!
Li Changting was delighted to see Hunter. If he could be accepted into his sect, why worry about the sect not being prosperous?
He thought so, but did not rush over to disturb him. Instead, he clasped his hands together and pretended to be listening.
As expected, the young man in black bowed three times and said softly: "Master, my disciple has lived up to his expectations. He finally understood the meaning of the sword a year ago. Neither my senior brother nor the sect master is my opponent."
Li Changting overheard this and felt a little happy. He was Shou Ji's apprentice?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard the young man in black speak again, with a somewhat complaining tone: "Master, you just live in seclusion, why didn't you even tell your disciple the place.
In the past three years, my disciple has searched the entire world of cultivation, but has not found any trace of you. Where should I go to see you again? "
Li Changting twitched the corner of his mouth.
Damn it, this guy’s master is not dead. And he looks very affectionate, so I'm afraid he won't be able to poach him.
He couldn't help but feel pity.
What a waste.
If such a swordsman genius joins his sect, he will definitely receive the best training.
It's a good thing for this master, he accepted the jade but didn't carve it. He ignored it for three years, and the apprentice couldn't even see him. It's a good thing that this kid kept up his courage and realized the meaning of the sword. Otherwise, wouldn't it be useless?
If he has nothing to do, why not give him some advice.
With this in mind, he waited patiently for the young man in black to finish his obeisance, and was about to step forward when he saw the young man in black standing up. The look of admiration on his face immediately subsided and he spoke coldly.
"Your Excellency, you didn't come to the temple to worship. Did you come here just to eavesdrop?"
Li Changting was exposed on the spot, but he didn't feel ashamed. After a year of traveling in Dongzhou, he suffered various losses and encountered obstacles, and his reputation had grown significantly.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's so solemn here, why don't we talk somewhere else?"
The young man in black snorted coldly, "That's exactly what you meant!"
After saying that, the young man in black turned and left, and Li Changting followed immediately.
After leaving, the two of them left Sheocheng City and stopped in a sparsely populated middle area.
The young man in black had just arrived here. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and wanted to teach Li Changting a lesson. He would not allow anyone to be disrespectful to his master!
Li Changting laughed when he saw the sword flying towards him. He didn't see any movement from it, but in a flash, he held the tip of the sword with two fingers.
The young man in black was shocked. This man looked unkempt and looked like a casual cultivator. His cultivation level was actually above him?
His thoughts changed rapidly, the sword force in his hand suddenly changed, and the sword intent surged out.
However, at this moment, Li Changting loosened his fingertips and flicked the tip of his sword.
"when!!"
There was a crisp sound, and an incomprehensible force flowed along the sword body, instantly dispersing the sword force of the young man in black. The remaining force hit his chest, causing him to step back more than ten steps before he could stop.
The young man in black covered his chest, which was feeling tight, and looked up at Li Changting, who was still smiling not far away. His face darkened: "Sword cultivator...are you Li Changting?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Changting's smile suddenly faded and he looked slightly surprised: "You know me?"
"Who among the human network doesn't know Senior Li's name?"
The young man in black sneered, and there was no respect for "senior" in his words. "When I saw him today, his demeanor was completely different from the rumors."
Li Changting felt a little headache after hearing this, "Is it because you offered incense to me without worshiping?"
"Whether you worship or not, don't force yourself."
The young man in black snorted coldly, "But if you openly eavesdrop in front of my master's statue, can't you call me a villain?"
Li Changting looked slightly embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said, "I am being unreasonable. I saw that you were a swordsman and that you were very talented in swordsmanship. In the heat of the moment, you forgot your sense of propriety. I will apologize to you."
As soon as these words came out, the young man in black was also slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Changting to be so easy to talk to.
His expression softened slightly, and his tone could not be called friendly: "I was also at fault when I drew my sword impulsively. It's just that you are disrespectful to my master. As a disciple, you can't bear it. You have to look at your senior's strength."
Li Changting smiled heartily: "It doesn't matter, it's all trivial. We don't know each other until we fight. Don't you know your friend's name yet?"
"My surname is Xiang and my name is Jianjue."
The young man in black said bluntly: "The flying sword's sword is unparalleled."
"Xiang Jianjue, what a great name!"
Li Changting gave a soft compliment and said, "You just said that I was disrespectful to your master. What did you mean?"
"Didn't Senior Li eavesdrop clearly just now?"
Xiang Jianjue responded coldly, "Empress Shen Ji, you are my master."
Li Changting said calmly, "But she's not..."
"Senior Li, are there too many questions?"
Xiang Jianjue interrupted the question with a cold voice, sheathed his sword, turned around and left.
Li Changting immediately followed him and said with a smile, "Xiang, little friend, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you just chat a few more words."
When Xiang Jianjue heard this, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he felt depressed in his heart. Could it be that this person is a dog-skin plaster? Why is he still clinging to him?
But Li Changting's cultivation level is far above him. If he really wants to stick to him, there seems to be nothing he can do against him.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jianjue's face turned even more disgusting, "What do you want, senior?"
Li Changting smiled hoarsely: "Xiang Xiaoyou, I just think that you and I are destined, and I don't mean any harm. Why should you be angry?"
Xiang Jianjue was not moved at all when he heard this, and said in a cold tone: "Senior, I mean no harm, but I still have important matters to attend to, so I can't accompany you anymore. Please don't get entangled, senior."
After saying this, he flashed towards Jian Jue and turned into a sword light and fled away.
After a few breaths, a white light flashed in the lane of a satellite city outside Shencheng, and Xiang Jianjue walked out of it.
He waited for a moment, and when he saw that there was no second sword light coming, he walked out of the alleyway with a slightly relaxed expression.
But before he could be happy for a moment, a familiar laughter came from directly in front of him outside the alleyway. ,
"Xiang Xiaoyou, I still have something to say, why did you run away?"
Seeing Li Changting striding from the front, Xiang Jianjue's expression finally turned completely cold, "You are following me for no reason. What do you want to do?"
Li Changting could hear the anger in the other party's words, but he still said gently: "Xiang Xiaoyou, what you call important matters, but you want to continue to see your master?"
Xiang Jianjue smiled coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Li Changting grinned, "But I can help you. With your cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, you haven't even developed spiritual consciousness. Finding your master in this world of cultivation is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's too difficult."
If I were to help you, that would be completely different. With my spiritual consciousness, I can sweep through every corner of the world of cultivation and secular world in a very short period of time.
Even if your master hides on purpose and does not want to see you, he will not be traced after repeated sweeps by his spiritual consciousness. "
Xiang Jianjue was slightly startled when he heard this, and then frowned slightly.
Showing hospitality when there is nothing to do, and being a thief if you are not a woman, what is Li Changting planning?
As soon as the idea came to him, Li Changting continued: "Of course, little friend Xiang, this is not a selfless help. You want to find your master, and there is someone here who wants to find him."
Li Changting paused slightly, "This person's name is Qingxin, and he should be the most powerful person in Dongzhou."
"The most powerful person in Eastern Continent, Qingxin?"
Xiang Jianjue frowned when he heard this, "I don't know where you got the information from. I have never heard of the name Qingxin. And..."
Xiang Jianjue smiled proudly, "I'm not bragging. If this Dongzhou monk really wants to judge the strength of the weak and the name of the strongest, my master will do it!"
Li Changting laughed in his heart when he heard this.
This boy has too much respect for his master.
A female cultivator who was still in the foundation-building stage a hundred years ago. In just a hundred years, no matter how rapid her cultivation is, she cannot reach the top directly and surpass the senior Qingxin who is in charge of Fang Cunji, right?
However, Xiang Jianjue is young and has little experience, so it is understandable that he blindly worships his master.
Thinking like this, Li Changting followed Xiang Jianjue's intention and smiled: "Isn't that just right? Maybe what you and I are looking for are really the same person."
