Early the next morning, in front of Tianyan Sect Mountain Gate.
Jiang Yuebai stood in the square outside the archway, stunned, with the words Lu Ying said to her yesterday echoing in her mind.
She wasn't angry, she was just confused as to why Lu Ying's attitude was inconsistent.
When we met for the first time that day, she obviously jumped up to hug her tightly, feeling relieved and asked her why she came back.
In just ten days, he blamed her for coming back and said all the unpleasant things to her, asking her to leave.
What happened?
Jiang Yuebai's intuition was related to Song Pei'er. She wanted to visit Song Pei'er, but Lu Ying also told her to get lost hysterically.
Jiang Yuebai was in a dilemma and wanted to help Lu Ying, but she resisted. She asked Shi Xiaowu and Guo Zhen, but they also said they didn't know the inside story.
In desperation, Jiang Yuebai could only give up for the time being and go out to do tasks first, bury his grandfather, explore the cave to find a method to build the foundation of "Five Elements Returning True Skill", and then deal with other trivial matters with peace of mind when he comes back.
Maybe after Lu Ying calms down for a while, she will be willing to tell her that she has told Guo Zhen and Shi Xiaowu to keep an eye on Lu Ying these days.
She also left some ninth-grade mid-level talismans she drew herself, and told them to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to find Hong Tao if they encountered something they couldn't solve.
"I'm sorry. I haven't returned to the sect for many years and I don't know my way around. It's too late for me."
A sixth-level qi-training monk with white hair and a child-like face, an immortal spirit and Taoist spirit, came on foot. He was as light as a swallow and had the posture of a martial artist.
His cultivation level is not high. He wears a Taoist robe and holds a fly whisk. His temperament is more fairy-like than the real master of the sect. He fits the appearance of an old god in the eyes of mortals.
"The poor Taoist Zhao Wude has met Senior Sister Jiang."
He brushed the dust and bowed with one hand, respectfully and gracefully.
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "There is still one person who has not arrived yet."
The mission requirement for this time was for two late-stage Qi practitioners to escort Zhao Wude to Yuyang County, Qingzhou, and without destroying the Five Flavors Temple, build another Taoist statue in the Taoist temple and place the Tianyan Sect's contact circle in it.
Everything is placed on Zhao Wude, and it is also his task to do it. Jiang Yuebai and another inner disciple named Yun Shang only need to protect them.
In fact, if there happened to be a demonic disaster there that had not been investigated clearly, there would not have been this mission. Zhao Wude could handle everything by himself.
Jiang Yuebai was more willing to take on the task of exterminating demons, but it was a pity that he was too slow.
After waiting for a moment, Jiang Yuebai's ears twitched slightly, and she heard a noise from the horizon. She turned around and saw a large black eagle flying out of the clouds and mist, with its gold-plated saddle and horse shining, very majestic.
The big eagle landed, and the heroic female cultivator in red jumped down from behind the big eagle. She was carrying a treasure box with an expressionless face. It was Yu Qiuchi who was the most powerful in the inner sect's foundation building period.
Zhao Wude hurriedly bowed and bowed without daring to raise his head. Jiang Yuebai cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Uncle Yu."
Yu Qiuchi adjusted the reins of the big eagle, glanced at Jiang Yuebai casually, and nodded slightly to show his greeting.
At this time, Yu Qiuchi looked past Jiang Yuebai and suddenly smiled.
"Yunshang, are you going on a mission today?"
Yu Qiuchi calmed down his aloof aura and walked straight past Jiang Yuebai towards the mountain gate archway. Seeing this, the two guarding disciples bowed and left, not daring to disturb Yu Qiuchi's conversation with others.
Jiang Yuebai saw a girl wearing white clothes of an inner disciple standing by the archway with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, nervous and resistant, tightly hugging the bald little monkey in her arms.
Yu Qiuchi approached, and Yun Shang backed away, lowering his head and not making eye contact with her.
Yu Qiuchi didn't dare to approach anymore, but Jiang Yuebai actually saw Yu Qiuchi's cautious approach to please him.
"What kind of mission? If it's dangerous, I'll go with you."
Yun Shang bit her lip and refused to speak. The ugly little monkey in her arms bared its teeth at Yu Qiuchi with a bad attitude.
Yun Shang rubbed the little monkey's head and whispered, "We don't get angry with sanctimonious people. It's not good to ask others to wait. Let's leave quickly."
Yun Shang avoided Yu Qiuchi like a snake and scorpion, and walked far away towards Jiang Yuebai and Zhao Wude.
Yu Qiuchi didn't catch up, but just looked at Yun Shang with concern on his face.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes moved slightly, a little curious about the story inside.
After Yun Shang came over, he only glanced at her and Zhao Wude quickly, said his name and stayed away, without any intention of talking.
Jiang Yuebai looked at her. She seemed very nervous, as if she was afraid that Jiang Yuebai would talk to her.
"Let's go, let's talk about anything on the way."
Zhao Wude and Jiang Yuebai took out their flying swords. Yun Shang hung several spirit beast bags around her waist, and opened one of them to release the crossing geese.
Different from Du Yan, who is specially loaned to disciples in the sect, she is like that little monkey, with many bald hairs on her body, which is very ugly, and I don’t know why.
The three of them set out on the road together, with Zhao Wude leading the way, Jiang Yuebai in the middle, and Yun Shang following far behind.
Jiang Yuebai just observed that Yun Shang was about the same age as her, but he was not a disciple who started at the same time as her. He must have been born in Tianyan Sect and was at the ninth level of Qi training at this time.
The sect leader said last time that there were five people in the inner sect who had reached the seventh level of Qi training within five years, including her. He was only talking about the disciples who started at the same time as her, and did not include those disciples who were originally born in the Tianyan Sect, as well as others. An older disciple.
In fact, among the outer sect and inner sect, there are many disciples in the late stage of Qi training.
It takes about ten days to go from Tianyan Sect to Yujian Qingzhou in Yun State, and there is no teleportation array within one month of the journey.
Jiang Yuebai was a little curious and confused about this task, so he went to Zhao Wude's side with his sword.
"Please tell me, Junior Brother Zhao, why Tianyan Sect must set up Taoist temples in the mortal world. Doesn't it mean that immortal cultivators cannot easily disturb the fate of mortals?"
Jiang Yuebai did not have the airs of an inner disciple and had a friendly attitude. Zhao Wude felt good about him and explained slowly.
"I wonder if Senior Sister has ever heard a saying, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. The belief of living beings in Taoism has its own importance. The truth is too profound, and I can't fully understand it. I only know that Taoism is like this in the world. In the mortal world Establish Taoist temples to spread and stabilize Taoist beliefs.”
"The Taoist temple monitors the people's sentiments and will not affect the fate of mortals. Only when there is a demonic disaster that mortals cannot contend with, the immortal sect will take action to quell the disaster. This is a merit and affects the destiny of the immortal sect. In addition, the power of the Taoist sect in the world is divided into three parts. Xiu, Immortal Sect and Family.”
"Rogue cultivators act as they please and are not restricted. If you interfere arbitrarily in the life and death of mortals, you can only be punished by heaven. The immortal sect has rules. Only Taoist temples are set up and no court is allowed. Mortals can only take action as appropriate if they come to the door. Most of the cultivator families are mortals. The head of the dynasty will send loyal but promising qi training disciples from the clan to serve as national teachers in the dynasty."
"But in any case, both the Immortal Sect and the family are doing it to stabilize the Taoist sect's faith and promote the Taoist sect's destiny. The Sixteen Divisions of Xiyun Zen Sect has flourished, and they also act in the same way."
Jiang Yuebai asked in confusion, "I understand, but this task seems to be quite important. Why are we sending a disciple with no future?"
Zhao Wude smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I don't know something. Mortal desires are the most difficult to understand. Seven emotions and six desires are involved in the body. If the heart of seeking immortality and cutting off the worldly fate is not strong, even if you can't pass a single test of building the foundation and asking the inner demons, it is equivalent to cutting off the path to immortality. Therefore, those who cultivate immortality No one wants to go deep into the mortal world, only those monks who have no future are willing to enter the mortal world to serve for the sake of future generations."
"You too?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Zhao Wude said without any grudges: "Yes, I started the Taoist temple when I was young, and then I fought with others and damaged the foundation. There is no hope of building the foundation. But my wife and child still have a bright future. For their sake, I took over the job of guarding the Taoist temple in the mortal world." Task, earn some contribution points for the two of them to practice in the sect."
"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans. Junior Brother Zhao's heart is admirable."
Zhao Wude smiled broadly and said, "Senior sister, I am overrated. In fact, I lived a very happy life in the mortal world. Everyone called me the old god, and I was in awe. Even the senior officials in the mortal world did not dare to make mistakes in front of me. I have to say , this feeling is addictive.”
"Even if you give me the chance to build a foundation at this time, I can't let go of this fairy life. There is no one to restrain me in the Taoist temple. As long as I don't encounter powerful monsters, I will be the king. I can scare the world with just a few magic spells, and enjoy good wine and delicious food." Never less, not to mention how comfortable it is.”
Jiang Yuebai chuckled and nodded, "It's indeed comfortable."
But these days will always come to an end, and they are still bound by longevity and heaven, and they are not truly free and at ease.
Behind them, the flying goose suddenly flew to the two of them. Yun Shang held the little monkey and stammered: "Well, behind, there is someone following us."
Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "You should be here for me. You go first. I will wait for half a day in Ningyuan City."
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai turned the flying sword and galloped away in the other direction.
