To be honest, a lot of things have happened in the sects during the years when Li Dai was not around, especially the competition among the sects ten years ago, the competitions in the alchemy weapon array and the magic combat. As one of the four first-class sects, the Tianyan Sect First, he has dabbled in all four arts of cultivation, but when it comes to specialized talents, he is still far behind.
Especially Li Dai, Fang Aling, Gan Xirou, who were very powerful in fighting at that time, were not there, so in the competition, although the Tianyan Sect participants were all good, there was no one who stood out.
Among them, in terms of combat effectiveness, the sword cultivators of Wanjian Sect are still the strongest. In terms of talents in alchemy, Danyun Sect has surpassed other sects. As for Zhenqian Sect, it has developed extremely fast in recent years. His skills in formations and arts have been improving day by day, and he has already left other sects far behind.
Among the four first-class sects, the other three sects all have at least one first place. Only Tianyan sect does not stand out. Therefore, in the Dongling sect competition held every fifty years, Tianyan sect did not perform very well. Well, at that time, he and several of the sect's more outstanding representatives of the Dan-Jie cultivators participated in the battle. Among more than ten people, only Ji Panbu, who came from behind, achieved second place in the competition among the Dan-Jie cultivators. There was no representative of the foundation cultivators. To say that the one who stood out was only Fan Changge, who had just broken through the Foundation Establishment, performed better and took fifth place.
"Junior sister, if you had been in the sect at that time, the situation would have been much better. I heard from the third junior sister that you were much better than her. Even our sect's Ancestor Xing and Ancestor Lu praised you. "
"Ancestor Xing? Ancestor Lu?"
"Well, they have met those two seniors. Ancestor Xing Shenxing and Xing Yunzhi's father, you should have an impression. As for Ancestor Lu and Senior Lu Jiuyao, they are the strongest and most powerful ones in our sect. One of the people, he is a real loose immortal."
"Although he failed to ascend thousands of years ago and became a loose immortal, it is precisely because of his existence that our Tianyan Sect is ranked among the four first-class sects."
After her senior brother said this, Li Dai vaguely remembered that when the Buddha Sect appeared, she seemed to have met several seniors of the Sect before leaving, and they were on the same road.
Xing Yunzhi was also present at that time.
but……
"Why did they suddenly mention me?" Li Dai wondered. In his memory, the seniors didn't show anything unusual when they saw her, and they weren't very enthusiastic. She was a true sect master and senior.
And Li Dai also knew that at that time, they appeared in the Buddha Sect's territory to find Shi Yuan and to remove the soul-destroying slave mark that had been planted.
Later, when Shi Yuan became a Buddha and ascended to heaven, she was deep in the loess desert when she gave birth to a baby. Someone passing by talked about it, and she heard it.
Now that Shi Yuan's merits have been fully achieved and she has achieved a golden body, it means that those who have been struck by the soul-obsessing slave mark are saved, and the man in the trench coat mask who attacked her was also forced to leave.
As for the Jade Girl Tower he created through the Emperor Demon Lord, the countless parasitic pills he spilled, and the Soul-Destroying Slave Seal that caused so many people to fall into it were also released by Shi Yuan. As for the Hundred Bones Battlefield, he wanted to use the Soul-Destroying Slave Seal Controlling those people, humans and monsters killed each other in the Hundred Bones Battlefield, and rivers of blood flowed. They wanted to use the blood and death breath of the monks and monsters to break the barrier formed by the broken souls deep in the Hundred Bones Battlefield, and obtain the Holy Spirit inside. He obtained the core of the Heart and Heaven Bracelet, but he did not know that the Dao Heart Heaven Bracelet, which is the Sacred Heart, did not end up in the Hundred Bones Battlefield from the beginning. Instead, the bracelet fell somewhere else and was collected by Yan Yao, who gave it to him as a 'life-saving grace' early on. Li Dai, and the black circle who was the core of the Heavenly Bracelet, had also been arranged by Zhen to have their fate fall into the hands of Li Dai. Even if the black circle did not recognize Li Dai as its master, it would be useless.
So he had been planning for many years, and the opportunity he thought he had was not his, and he couldn't get it even at the expense of so many lives.
If it weren't for the help of the fragments of confusion, it would be impossible for him, a person from the Cangyun Continent who does not belong to the lower realm, to walk on the Cangyun Continent, let alone do anything else.
Heaven is really ruthless towards people who stow away.
Especially in order to maintain the life safety of lower-level interfaces, especially those who cannot practice interfaces, those whose personal power exceeds that interface will be repulsed, suppressed or even killed by the heavenly laws of that world.
For example, when a monk arrives in a purely mortal world without practitioners, he may not be able to use any magic power. If he uses it, he will be hacked to death. This is very common.
So back then, the man in the windbreaker mask had planned for so many years in Cangyun Continent for his own personal gain, and controlled so many soul-capturing slave sealers. Although he did not personally take action, everything the Emperor Demon Lord did was ordered by him. That time he gave The sect of Dongling in Cangyun Continent almost suffered a devastating blow. Without the acquiescence and protection of the Fragment of Confusion, there would be no way for him to intervene.
But that time, because Li Dai got the black circle in the Hundred Bones Battlefield, the Fragment of Bewilderment was completely angered, and he used more power than he should have to attack Li Dai, and then it backfired, allowing Zhentian Dao to press back, and Windbreaker Mask The man was immediately excluded because of this and could no longer enter Cangyun Continent.
Of course, Li Dai still knew some of these things. At that time, she also rescued Du Changji, Ji Panbu, Xiao Jie and other Tianyan sect members at the Hundred Bones Battlefield.
As for Kang Min and Wei Qing, those white-eyed wolves in the individual Zhan Qianzong, Li Dai didn't know them and didn't worry about them at all. She took action mainly because she didn't want her playboy grandfather to die like that, otherwise she wouldn't care about other people.
Not to mention those things, these things all happened relatively early in the Buddha Sect. At that time, she had not gone to Nanling, let alone the Buddha Mountain in the ancient land, Jia Luo Shi. But now the senior brother mentioned Jia Luo Shi Li Dai also remembered the time when she met the sect's seniors and all the memories about the Soul-Capturing Slave Seal.
Later, the person who solved the soul-obsessing slave mark created by the man in the windbreaker mask was Shi Yuan, and she also knew it.
At that time, people from various sects approached the eminent monk Jia Luo Shi to resolve the matter, and then gathered there. However, many changes happened later. Jia Luo Shi disappeared, but the Buddha Sect appeared.
At that time, what she remembered deeply was such a period, but she couldn't remember why the Buddha Sect appeared or what happened during it.
Li Dai is not a troubled person. She can't remember what happened in Jia Luo Shi or today's Buddhist sect, and she doesn't deliberately think about it. It shouldn't be important anyway.
Li Dai thought like this, and drove away these prominent memories and thoughts, looking at Bu Rugui, waiting for his answer.
Bu Rugui smiled gently again and said: "The two ancestors will know about you. First, senior brother Xing Yunzhi often mentioned you in front of the two seniors. Second, your cultivation at that time was already the Perfect Formation of Dan. At such a young age, you have surpassed many people in your cultivation, so the two ancestors were deeply impressed. By chance, ancestor Lu asked the master about you, but you did not return to the sect at that time, and you did not return for many years after that. When we come back, this little matter will be over."
"But as your senior brother, junior sister has caught the eyes of the ancestors and been favored. Senior brother, I am really happy and feel very honored."
Li Dai was surprised: "How did senior brother know that Patriarch Lu asked about me?"
"Haha." Bu Rugui laughed out loud, "That was a coincidence. At that time, Patriarch Lu came to see Master for something, and he accidentally mentioned you and asked about you. I was there at the time, so I remembered it. "
Li Dai was really surprised by his words. Fortunately, her senior brother remembered such a small thing so clearly.
Li Dai's expression showed as she thought about this, but Bu Rugui thought it was normal and said: "I was an orphan since I was a child and was adopted by the master. I had no other relatives before I started practicing cultivation. Later, I became the master's third son, so I Master regarded me as my father, and as I grew older, Master accepted you one after another. In my eyes, you are not only my junior brothers and sisters, but also the people closest to me. Not relatives, but worse than relatives. We are brothers and sisters, and we should be as close as brothers and sisters. This is what senior brother wants to see most."
While talking, the senior brother burst out with emotion and sighed, and inadvertently taught Li Dai to love each other when facing her brothers and sisters, and not to have any discord.
Although the elder brother didn't say it clearly, Li Dai heard the implication of his words.
Li Dai still has a good impression of her senior brothers and sisters. Although she did not respond to her senior brother's words, the feeling of distance and strangeness in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant after not being together for more than fifty years, and she felt very warm.
This senior brother really made Li Dai not know what to say. He had figured out the mentality of his junior brothers and sisters below him, even her.
If Bu Rugui hadn't personally come to pick her up, and without his inadvertent words, it would not have been possible for Li Dai to instantly disappear the sense of distance she had not seen for more than fifty years.
Regarding this senior brother, Li Dai really felt that although he was ordinary, he was also particularly great.
"By the way, in the competition between the various sects that senior brother mentioned just now, our Tianyan Sect's achievements don't seem to be good. Are there any consequences?"
Bu Rugui was brought back to the topic by Li Dai and nodded, "Of course there will be consequences." He sighed, "Because of the Soul Capturing Slave Seal, hundreds of sects in Dongling were greatly affected, especially It was our four major sects that were almost completely controlled and exterminated. Fortunately, those at the top of the sects who had the soul-obsessing slave marks were released, and they also learned the method of understanding the slave marks from the Buddha, so the Buddha After the ascension, the sons of the slave seals in each sect were found one by one and solved, so that it did not eventually lead to tragedy. And the emperor and the devil who controlled them suddenly disappeared at that time and never appeared again. .”
"It's just that although the crisis was resolved at that time, the sect was definitely hit hard in terms of personnel and resources, and it didn't recover for several years. It wasn't until the Dongling Sect Competition ten years ago that resources were reallocated and new The occurrence of the spirit stone veins allowed the sect to relax."
"So that competition is very important for any sect. Not to mention those small sects with no reputation, even our Tianyan Sect must go all out to win a good ranking. In this way, more resources will be allocated. However, although many elites were dispatched in that sect competition, including your Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, me, and many others, the result was not satisfactory. Among the four first-class sects, our Tianyan Sect was at the bottom. Yes, Third Junior Sister, she..."
Li Dai's heart suddenly thought, "What's wrong with Third Senior Sister?"
"It's nothing. If you don't say this, Master will tell you what you need to know later."
Li Dai was silent and did not ask any more questions. Bu Rugui said some other insignificant things, which were all good things and happy things, but Li Dai was not in the mood to listen.
He was not in a hurry to ask Li Dai about his experiences over the years. He must have planned to go to the master's place and talk about it together, so that Li Dai didn't have to repeat it.
The little green leaf boat behind flew very fast, and soon it reached the master's special cave.
Li Dai didn't come to Master Chen Qiansuan's residence many times. The only thing that impressed her deeply was the countless formations outside that secluded place and the jade bone chessboard placed next to a clear water lotus pond. That was Master's favorite place to stay. , as long as people who love chess come to see Master, they will always play chess.
Extrapolation, calculation, and chess may be Master Chen Qiansuan’s only two hobbies.
As the eldest brother entered the master's cave, there was no change inside. There were things used for deduction and the like everywhere, among which there were especially many turtle shells.
Although the monk's deduction itself is very strong, if you have the shell of the divine turtle, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
As high-level monks, their caves do not like to build houses like ordinary people. Instead, they like to use local materials and use natural materials and earthly treasures to decorate their caves. As for whether they look simple from the outside, it is not that important.
The same is true for Chen Qiansuan's cave. Outside there are irregular spiritual fruits, spiritual trees, spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses. There are many turtle shells sparsely scattered on the ground. It looks like an irregular and messy beauty. As you continue to go deeper into it, there are various The huge trees that have been planted for a long time are bent and covered together in magical postures, with green leaves whirling, no gaps, high and low, forming a natural canopy house, which is very picturesque.
The interior of the natural spirit wood tent is also very large. There are moonstones on the branches of the spirit wood in the tent, so it is not dark or damp inside.
The ground inside is not covered by jade except for the small circle of soil around the branches and roots of the spirit trees. The rest of the ground is covered with a whole piece of spiritual jade that seems to have no gaps. Not only is the spiritual energy abundant, but those spiritual jade stones are even more dense. Under the special formation, there is an endless supply of spiritual energy, which is endless.
This is the real residence of Master Chen Qiansuan, his cave. No matter how many times Li Dai comes there, she is always amazed.
Especially the cave is particularly beautiful. The canopy formed by the natural inverted spirit wood branches and leaves. Inside are the spirit wood branches of five steps for one flower and ten steps for one tree. Coupled with the white jade spiritual stones on the floor, the blend is quiet and elegant. Those spiritual wood branches are more like green pillars in this cave, adding hard life to the whole space.
They walked around the branches of the spiritual trees to the inside of the cave, passed the big futon where Master often meditated, and arrived at the resting place where Master had rows of wicker chairs with collapsed canes. This was also the place where Master summoned them every time.
As soon as she entered, there were already many people sitting on the long green wicker chairs. Who were those senior brothers and sisters who were not hers?
I didn’t expect them all to come!
Even the third senior sister, who seemed to be in trouble, was no exception.
Li Dai deliberately stayed on the third senior sister's face for a while, and found that she was just a little pale, but nothing else was wrong, so she was temporarily relieved.
Facing the other senior brothers, Li Dai nodded one by one, smiled, followed her senior brother to find a place to sit down, and looked at her master who was sitting alone on the wicker chair.
Compared to Li Dai's smile, when he saw Li Dai come in, the second senior brother Mu Canyang was okay. He was the least familiar with Li Dai. If Jun Zilin hadn't been educated by Li Dai, he would have been weak and low in cultivation. It can be said that Li Dai and his second senior brother, the master of this peak, have absolutely no interaction.
So he looked the most stable and calm.
The third and fourth senior sisters, as well as the sixth and eighth senior brothers, all showed more or less excitement.
As for fifth senior brother Mo Banchen, where his master is, can he see other people? Don't be naive.
As for Master Chen Qiansuan, his expression was normal. It seemed that it was not that Li Dai had not returned for fifty-seven years, but that he had only been away for a day or two.
But when he couldn't clearly see Li Dai's cultivation, Chen Qiansuan was still slightly stunned for a moment. His disciple's growth seemed to be beyond imagination.
Then he thought about the divination about Fang A Ling, and what was originally clear became confusing. His star was bleak. Instead, the disciple Li Dai, who was not optimistic about him at the beginning, became a variable, and his star became brighter.
This is also the reason why Chen Qian calculated the approximate time as soon as Li Dai came back and greeted the other disciples in advance so that they could all be present as much as possible.
In addition to the reunion between master and apprentice, it also allows the other apprentices to learn more about themselves, the seventh apprentice, because the deduction board shows that the star lives of other apprentices will be affected by the seven apprentices. This is why Chen Qiansuan originally Unexpectedly, in this case, it is more important for them to get together more and get to know each other, especially to be there as soon as the apprentice comes back.
Li Dai had no idea that her master, who was like a clear breeze and bright moon in her eyes, was thinking so much in her heart. Also, regarding the scene where all the senior brothers and sisters were present, Li Dai didn't show it on her face, but she was actually very shocked in her heart. of.
Monks happen to be free wherever they are. Not to mention anything else, they may not be able to get together if they are in seclusion, going out, or practicing. I don’t think she has been in the sect for many years, but don’t talk about all the senior brothers and sisters. After the party, it was difficult to meet other senior brothers and sisters. For example, second senior brother Mu Canyang was the first time Li Dai met.
What made him recognized immediately was his unique characteristic, the same characteristic of a gentleman's presence.
"Master!"
Not to mention why the reunion was so complete today, Li Dai nodded and smiled. As soon as he sat down with his senior brother, he immediately stood up and bowed to the courtier Qian Suan Master to say hello.
"That's right!" Chen Qiansuan nodded, "Seeing that you have a solid foundation in cultivation, you have really grown up after going out and practicing like this. So let me tell Master and all the brothers and sisters, how have you experienced and what have you learned over the years?"
When the master asked questions, Li Dai cheered up and answered seriously.
So I briefly recounted my experiences over the years, and concluded: "Although training outside is sometimes dangerous, it can indeed make people grow. The second son has lived up to his expectations, and now he can take charge of his role as master."
"Oh?" Chen Qianshu raised his eyebrows lightly, "What is Xiao Qi's level now?" The apprentice's techniques to conceal his strength were becoming more and more sophisticated, but even he couldn't see through them.
He simply asked directly.
