"Hahaha, who did I think had such a terrifying aura? It turns out it's you, the third one, who's back."
At this moment, several hearty laughters were suddenly heard in the hall, and then Zhang Zhichu, who was dressed in plain white robes and looked handsome, walked out.
Ji Liao flew away from Snot Wolf and landed in front of Zhang Zhichu, slightly cupping his hands and saying, "We haven't seen each other for many years. Senior brother has the same style."
"Hi, Master, I'm in retreat. I'm very upset about the affairs of the sect. I was just thinking about finding someone to help me share the burden. I didn't expect you to come back now." Zhang Zhichu said with a smile, and then said, "Let's go together, brothers." If you’re standing here anymore, hurry back to the palace.”
Ji Liao nodded and entered the hall with Zhang Zhichu.
The snot-nosed wolf looked back at the disciples who were discussing what kind of species he was, and a very strange smile appeared on his lips.
The bodies of the several disciples who were being stared at couldn't help but tremble at the same time, and they suddenly felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Snot Wolf glanced around, and finally landed on a few disciples who were quietly retreating. The big wolf raised his paws, "You! You! You! And you, I tell you, don't even think about running away, dare you You are gossiping behind Mr. Wolf’s back, but today I, the God Wolf, will let you know clearly what is meant by Wolf Purgatory.”
Inside the palace.
A beautiful-looking female disciple served Ji Liao fragrant tea, her cheeks were flushed, and she bowed slightly to Ji Liao.
"Third Master, use it with caution!"
"Yeah!" Ji Liao responded.
The female disciple quietly glanced at Ji Liao's beautiful face, then lowered her head as if she had been electrocuted, and trotted out of the hall.
Zhang Zhichu had a smile on his face. Although he didn't see any movement, there was an indescribable taste hidden in his eyes.
As early as when Ji Liao landed, as a middle-level monk, he felt Ji Liao's huge aura. However, he had been the head of the sect for many years, and his demeanor was no longer what it used to be. His expression was as suppressed as usual. The shock in my heart.
Ji Liaomin took a sip of tea, put it back on the desk beside him, and said with a smile, "Senior brother said that Master is still in seclusion. Could it be that he has not left seclusion since I left?"
Zhang Zhichu slowly shook his head and said, "Your spiritual beast came out of seclusion once when it left the sect, but it has not come out of seclusion since then."
Ji Liao suddenly recalled the time when he left Snot Wolf in Tianzhi Mountain. He also remembered the message Snot Wolf sent him after he left the Feng Clan and took home his wife and children.
Thinking of this, Ji Liao felt moved in his heart.
The matter of seclusion is extremely important to the monks. The purpose of seclusion in the cold winter wind is to break through the important pass of the day after tomorrow. Being able to come out of seclusion to bring a message just because the snotty wolf left is a friendship that is as important as anything.
"By the way, where is senior sister?" Ji Liao asked, remembering Wan Suxin.
"Oh yes, look at my memory, I actually forgot about junior sister." Zhang Zhichu slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "Junior sister has been arranged to practice in the sect's secret realm. Since you are back, third brother, I will Call her out.”
Ji Liao quickly waved his hand, "No need, I came here this time to ask the sect for something."
Zhang Zhichu's movements stagnated, "Hiss... Junior Brother has cultivated so much now, what else can he ask of the sect?"
"Senior brother should also know that I have established a family in the Elegy Fairyland in recent years. As an ancestor, I cannot just care about myself. I also have to consider my children and grandchildren."
"Oh? Junior brother, just say it, senior brother, I will take care of everything for you."
Ji Liao told Zhang Zhichu what he was thinking. Zhang Zhichu frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Although our sects are combined into one sect, they are actually divided into four branches. Junior Brother asked me If one person cannot make the decision, we have to ask Senior Jushi and Senior Tianpo to discuss the matter."
"It doesn't matter, senior brother, just call them here." Ji Liao said.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhichu agreed, and then shouted to the door, "Come on, send someone to invite the other ancestors of the three peaks to come here to discuss matters, and just tell the third master that he has returned to the mountain."
"yes!"
"yes!"
Several responses came from outside the hall, followed by several rays of light that shot into the sky.
Zhang Zhichu withdrew his gaze outside the hall and looked Ji Liao up and down, "Junior brother's advancement in cultivation is really impressive to my brother."
"It's just chance." Ji Liao replied.
"I remember the last time Brother Wei asked you, you also answered like this. Junior Brother's opportunity makes Brother Wei envious."
"I am just a busy worker, wandering on the edge of life and death."
"Hey..." Zhang Zhichu let out a long sigh when he heard this, "Now the dust star opportunity has almost been found, and it has almost blocked all the steadily rising cultivation paths. If I can have the strength to give it a try, I am willing to take the risk as a brother. Let’s fight to the death.”
"Although the time for meditating behind closed doors is a little slower, the advantage is that the foundation is solid and there are no waves. Compared to someone like me who comes and goes through wind and rain, I envy my senior brother's path of cultivation more."
"By the way, junior brother, are you planning to stay in the sect for a while? I guess the master will be released soon."
"Master is about to come out of seclusion? Is he about to break through?" Ji Liao asked immediately with a look of joy on his face.
"Some time ago, there was news from Master's retreat place that he was already sacrificing swords. At this stage, it is estimated that it will take more than a hundred years."
Ji Liao once systematically practiced sword cultivation with Ling Dongfeng, and he also knew about sword sacrifice.
The practice of sword cultivation is to communicate with the heaven and earth with the sword, control the air with the sword, and cultivate the law with the sword. If you have reached the point where the sword becomes one, the cold winter wind will come early.
Having already reached this level, if he wants to improve his level of cultivation at his level, he must sacrifice the sword and let the sword practice with himself.
"One hundred years is too long. When the master comes out of isolation, I will come to greet him again," Ji Liao said.
"It's okay, your family is busy with affairs, and as a senior brother, I can't tie you down all the time."
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Zhichu did not ask Ji Liao's cultivation in depth, because he knew in his heart that at Ji Liao's level, he was no longer the same person as Ji Liao. He could still call himself Ji Liao's senior brother, but he was just Ji Liao's. I still miss the friendship back then.
In a cold and ruthless place like the world of immortality, it is normal for people to be unsympathetic and unjust, but for people like Ji Liao who have extremely high cultivation and still have past friendships in their hearts, they are very valuable.
Leaning on a walking stick, the old-looking Baihuaxie stepped on the auspicious clouds. After a while, she saw that the auspicious clouds under her feet merged with another auspicious cloud.
"The third child of the Winter Wind family is back. I wonder why they called us here this time." Baihuaxuan said to the smallpox that had just appeared next to him.
"That kid is a evil star. No one among us can offend him." Xiaohua thought of Ji Liao's appearance and replied.
Baihua snorted coldly, "Sifeng Mountain is my four sects. Even if you don't want to offend him, you can't just listen to him. If he wants to be the master of the mountain, I, Baihuaxian, will be the first to disagree."
"No, we have to wait for Winter Wind to make a decision on the matter of the sect leader. Although that boy may act a little arrogant and ruthless, he is not a heartless and unjust person. He will not steal his master's limelight by overstepping his authority."
At this moment, another cloud flew over, and the boulder master stepped on the cloud and leaned over with his hands behind his back.
"Hehehe, the two fellow Taoists are also invited?"
"Asking even though you know it!" Baihuaxuan said unceremoniously.
"Has the visitor revealed to you the intention of his third son to ask us to go?" Master Jushi asked again.
Baihuaxi and Xiaohua kept silent, so the answer was self-evident.
The master of the boulder was annoyed and shrugged, "I thought he would visit us on his own if he returned to the mountain, but unexpectedly he sent someone to ask us to visit him. Oh my, Winter Wind has taught me a good apprentice. .”
Bai Huachuan frowned slightly and clenched the cane he was leaning on unconsciously. Master Jushi's words directly pierced his heart.
In terms of seniority, Ji Liao is their junior. Although their friendship is not deep, there is no reason for them to visit Ji Liao. Now Ji Liao clearly does not take them seriously.
Xiaohua curled up his lips and sneered, "Without him, our sects wouldn't be where they are today, so there's no harm in paying him a visit."
The man on the boulder raised his eyebrows, "Hahaha, fellow Taoist is right, we can't afford to offend that person."
