The old man who was still pretending to be dumbfounded before also realized that something was not right. He waved his hand without any trace, blocking the perception of the two of them, and walked to Jiang Fan unsteadily.
"Little brother seems to have something to say?" He was still a little unsure whether Jiang Fan really saw something, but one thing is for sure, it is definitely not because of how strong Jiang Fan is. , being able to see through his own methods should be due to something special about this kid's physique.
"Jiang Fan has met senior. In fact, if senior needs it, I can take senior out of Tianniu State." Jiang Fan is just a young martial artist who came out of the town. He doesn't have much experience, but he knows that in front of him is his biggest challenge. If you seize the opportunity, you may be able to soar to the sky. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will spend your whole life hanging around the Thousand Knife Sect.
"Did you see the conversation we just had?"
"Yes, I don't dare to deceive my senior. My eyes are naturally different from ordinary people's. I can see through illusions and see the truth, but sometimes it doesn't work. When my senior used his method just now, he just happened to let me see what really happened. This is not allowed by me. Control is definitely not meant to spy on seniors’ actions.”
"I don't mean to scold you. Since you are honest and there is no better choice at the moment, I allow you to send me away from Tianniu Prefecture." The old man was silent for a moment and nodded.
The young man in front of him reminded him of the cowherd boy from many years ago, and he had a good impression of Jiang Fan.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was overjoyed and knelt down on the ground, "Thank you so much, senior. Thank you so much, senior. I wonder what I call you senior?"
The old man looked towards the sky, and an inexplicable sadness of farewell radiated out as his mood changed. He couldn't help but feel a little more melancholy in his words, "Everything in the past is no longer important. It's time to choose another name." Now, just call me Lin Rui, you can call me Mr. Lin, as per your custom."
Lin is the surname of the cowherd boy back then, and Rui means auspiciousness. In terms of good omen, this name is quite appropriate.
Jiang Fan blurted out: "Grandpa Lin."
Lin Rui was stunned for a moment. In this specific environment and special mood, this sentence of "Grandpa Lin" touched his heart. Even though the call "Grandpa" to this boy was a bit abrupt, he did not reject it, and his favorability increased again. A lot.
"Okay, your name is Jiang Fan, right? In the future, you will find that your calling me grandpa is not in vain. If your disciples ask about my whereabouts later, you can tell them that I have eaten something and regained some strength. After that, I followed that group of people and left. I insisted on doing so, so you didn’t stop me, do you hear me?”
Jiang Fan nodded in agreement, a light yellow halo flashed, fell into Jiang Fan's hand, and turned into a thumb-sized yellow jade, with a warm color, engraved with an ox pattern, with a red line running through the middle, Jiang Fan looked around, I found that the senior sister and third senior brother were both digesting the power of Qi and blood, and did not notice the situation here.
Only then did he make up his mind, tie the jade bracelet around his waist, tuck the hem of his clothes, sit cross-legged, and start operating the sect's martial arts.
…
But on the other side, Cao An and others were walking along the road.
"Sir, is that old man the god of the mountain?"
Cao An nodded, "It's almost the same, but there must be something wrong with him. He is not the god of this mountain. From a certain point of view, he should be the god of mountains and rivers in a state, able to make Tianniu Prefecture a state." With so much wealth and no problems for so many years, it’s simply impossible for a mountain god to do it.”
"His authority is huge. The faith of the people of a state and the authority of the gods in a state. No matter how bad he is at fighting, in his heyday, when he appeared as a god, his strength should be comparable to the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm. But now he wants to leave Tianniu Prefecture, which shows that something happened that forced him to do this."
Refining all the yin residue and bringing out the yang spirit. How powerful should the Yang God in the Dzogchen realm be? This thought came to Chang Qing's mind, but it was only for a moment. Then he smiled and didn't think about it too much. He didn't need to speculate wildly. He just needed to go on. Soon, he would also be able to experience the so-called Yang Shen realm. The appearance of great perfection.
He doesn't have that much confidence in himself, but he does have confidence in his young master!
The sword energy turned into a rainbow and came through the air. It seemed to be coming from the side. It was full of energy and landed in front of Cao An and his party. Shen Sheng immediately lifted Li Duo'er up and held him in his arms.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a mace hanging on his waist. Apart from being completely different in person, he actually had many similarities with Cao An. Cao An was carrying a sword while he was carrying a mace. Cao An was carrying a gourd on his waist. There were also gourds tied around their waists. The two looked at each other, sizing up each other. What they were sizing up was obviously not the other's attire, something that was on display at a glance. depending on the opponent's strength.
"Haosheng has a rich heritage and a pure spiritual mind. I didn't expect to see a warrior like you in a barren land like Da Yin. What's your name?" Huangfu was the first to speak, with a kind of arrogance in his tone. , proud from the bottom of his heart, he comes from the Kanyu Academy of the Central Empire, so he naturally has this strength and confidence.
Cao An still knew about the taboo about maces. The higher the cultivation level, the more concerned about this. He probably guessed the origin of the person opposite - a warrior from the Central Empire.
"My Excellency, Li Rulong, is from the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty. May I ask who you are?"
"Li Rulong? I remember you. I am a member of the Kanyu Academy of the Central Empire. Oh, by the way, you usually call us patrollers. You don't need to care about this. You just need to know that with your talent and foundation, leaving It is really a waste to be in the Great Yin Dynasty, why not come with me to the Central Empire and become a student of Kanyu Academy, where you can see the real scene of martial arts."
Cao An's expression remained calm, "This matter still needs to be decided by the elders in the family."
"It doesn't matter, I still have things to deal with now. When things come up here, I will go directly to the gods to explain things to your elders. I believe that as long as they have a little knowledge, they will never block your future."
Cao An nodded slightly, "My father is an important minister in the court and has some knowledge. The boy took his servants to Tianniu City and then returned directly to the Divine Capital, where he awaits the arrival of the senior."
Huangfu just hummed, feeling a little strange, but couldn't explain it, because everything was as it should be, but it was too natural, "What's your father's name?"
"Father Li Chuang!"
"Okay, after I have taken care of the wild gods here, I will look for you when I go away." After saying that, without stopping too much, a compass appeared in the palm of my hand. Under the infusion of the power of heaven and earth, the pointer pointed to the deeper part of the mountain. The form arises and turns into a rainbow and goes away.
"Central Empire? I will go, but not now."
Zhan Zhan chuckled, "I don't know what he will think when he arrives in the divine capital and finds out the real situation of Li Rulong."
"You can't hide it. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. But I just don't want to cause trouble now. I'll delay it for a while. After all, it's a major cultivator from the Yin Shen Realm from the Central Empire. I still have to show some respect." Cao An's lie representative In order to respect his strength, I don't know how Huangfu would feel if he heard this theory.
The real hiding place of the 'Mangshen' is in the center of the mountain. There is a big temple here. Yes, it is a temple, not a temple. A six-foot-tall building rises from the ground. It is really a long corridor with high eaves and teeth. Peck, there are many cultivated fields near the temple, on which seasonal grains and vegetables are grown.
There are twenty-eight old men in golden robes in front of the temple. They are all divine attendants here. In fact, the total number of divine attendants of Mang God has always been maintained at twenty-eight people. There has been no change. Each generation of divine attendants will die. On this occasion, they will go out to look for suitable young people in Tianniu State. After bringing them back, they will use the temple's formation to complete the soul transfer.
This is just sending souls, not seizing a body. A soul can only seize one body in a lifetime, but soul sending is different. Soul sending can go on indefinitely, and you can see a different kind of eternal life. This is a privilege given to the gods by the gods. Mang Shen has a soul with enough pure faith to win this honor.
The price is that their cultivation will not be able to break through the realm of heaven and humans forever...
