Jining was originally worried that he would be late than the others, but when he arrived at Panshi Mountain, he found that no one else had arrived yet, so he found a flat rock to sit down and wait for the three of them to arrive.
About half an hour later, Jining opened his eyes and was a little surprised. He felt the sound of objects flying in the distance in the air. While he was still surprised, a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance. Not long after, Jining saw clearly two people sitting on a boat-shaped flying instrument. It turned out to be Chang Antai and Yan Donghua. Jining was a little surprised. The two of them actually have a flying magic weapon.
Seeing that Jining was already there, they slowly landed the boat-shaped flying magic weapon on the hilltop. After the two jumped off the flying magic weapon, Chang Antai performed a trick to put away the flying magic weapon. The flying magic weapon instantly shrank, and finally became the size of an adult's hand. Chang Antai carefully put the flying magic weapon into his arms.
Judging from their decoration, there should be no storage bag. Both of them are carrying this package and holding a sword in their hands.
The two of them bowed and greeted Jining and then found a place to close their eyes and rest. Not long after, Cao Changqing appeared in Panshi Mountain with sweat on his face. Judging from his body shape and condition, he must have had a hard time driving all the way. After Cao Changqing saw the three of them, he said with a smile on his face: "The three of you were earlier than me, but I came all the way here!"
Chang Antai took over the words and said meaningfully: "It's normal for Yan Donghua and I to arrive earlier. After all, we have a low-level flying magic weapon. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Ji would arrive earlier than the two of me. It seems that fellow Taoist Ji The magic power is profound!”
Jining didn't answer. Cao Changqing bowed to everyone with excitement and then went to find a place to meditate and recover.
After Cao Changqing recovered, the four of them walked towards the depths of the Qinling Mountains.
. . . . . .
In an antique pavilion at Qingyu Peak of Qingyun Gate, Elder Lin, who had gray hair and a stocky figure, sat in the upper part of a living room with an ugly expression on his face, staring at a storage bag on the table. Standing below were a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a woman with a graceful figure and gorgeous appearance. Elder Lin touched the storage bag and said to the next two people with gloomy faces: "It has been almost four years since you two went to investigate the murder of your junior brother Lin. How is the progress?"
The middle-aged man with a thick beard said to the old man above him: "Master, we have basically investigated the matter of Junior Brother Lin. During the process of investigating the murder of Junior Brother Lin, we discovered another thing. I want to report the strange things to Master!"
Elder Lin, who was sitting on the seat, said gloomily: "Why don't you first tell us how your junior brother was killed?"
The middle-aged man with a thick beard responded after hearing this, and then started to explore them all the way. That day, after receiving instructions from Elder Lin to investigate the murder of his only son, the two of them hurried down the mountain towards the place where the Qinling Mountains changed.
When they arrived at the place of change in the Qinling Mountains, they saw an extremely dark fog rising over a forest stretching for hundreds of miles. When they approached the edge of the black fog, they saw many corpses and skeletons, from twisted corpses to It can be seen from the skeletons that these people died in extraordinary pain.
A middle-aged monk named Zhang Kang continued: "At this time, a strange wind arose in the mountains, blowing away the dense black mist, and a few strands of black mist drifted to me and my junior sister. We used our spiritual senses to detect the black mist. The fog is somewhat similar to the evil spirit in the Xuanyin Cave in Sunset Mountain, but this black fog has the power to corrode the monks' bodies. We hurriedly retreated, but Junior Sister Fengxue was still careless during the retreat. I inhaled a trace of black mist. Later, my junior sister said that this trace of black mist would corrode the Taoist body and spiritual consciousness, making her feel as if her Taoist body had collapsed. So I took my junior sister to a Taoist temple for treatment, but there I discovered that Junior Brother Lin had left Some traces down there.”
Then the middle-aged monk said cautiously: "Master, we guess that Junior Brother Lin should have accidentally inhaled some poisonous black mist, which caused the Tao body to collapse. Junior Brother Lin should have used some secret technique to get the soul out of the body and prepare to find another Taoist body." body."
After hearing this, Elder Lin nodded and motioned for the middle-aged man to continue.
Zhang Kang continued, the traces we left from the Taoist temple were that the junior brother did not know how to find two monks in the Qi refining stage, and prepared to seize the body of one of them. It's just that something went wrong during the process of seizing the body for Junior Brother Lin, and Junior Brother Lin was left in despair.
Elder Lin's face turned blue after hearing this, and he couldn't control his emotions and snorted, making Zhang Kang and Feng Xue shiver below. If Jining knew about this now, he would definitely be very depressed, as if it was normal for Jining to have his body taken away, and Jining would be a heinous person if he failed to take his body.
Zhang Kang then took out two crystal ball instruments from the storage bag, and said to the old man above him that when they inspected the Taoist temple, they found some remaining auras of two Qi refining monks, so they used a secret method to remove the two Qi refining monks. The residual image of the Qi Refining monk was copied.
Then in the Taoist temple, I found Junior Brother Lin's Taoist body and found a storage bag of Junior Brother Lin.
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged monk handed the two crystal balls to Elder Lin. Elder Lin glanced at Wu Chengyu, a Qinling Qi-refining monk from the Wu family in Qinling who was immobilized in the crystal ball, and then carefully stared at Jining's remains in the Taoist temple. image.
With anger in his eyes, Elder Lin crushed the crystal ball recording Jining's afterimage and said, "We must find this boy. I will twitch his body and strip him of his soul, and he will never be reincarnated."
After hearing this, the two disciples quickly said yes, and then said that the Qi Practitioner who was immobilized by the Immobilization Talisman had been found and was a direct disciple of the Wu family in Qinling. They have already visited the Wu family in Qinling Mountains and interrogated this direct disciple of the Wu family. I learned from a direct disciple of the Wu family that which qi-training monk should be a casual cultivator.
After hearing this, Elder Lin said coldly: "Where can a small low-level casual cultivator hide? There are not many places to practice in Dongzhou, and there should be a place with heaven and earth spiritual energy near where your junior brother Lin's accident happened. In Miaoshanfang City, it is very likely that a Qi Refining cultivator is hiding in Miaoshanfang City. This time, you two will go to the Immortal Ascension Meeting held once every ten years in Miaoshanfang City. You must help me catch this kid."
The two said yes and then retreated.
Not long after Jining left Miaoshanfang City, a young monk came to Miaoshanfang City. Judging from this young monk's cultivation, he should have reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage and could enter the Foundation Building Stage at any time. This young monk is Wu Chengyu, a Qi-refining monk from the Wu family who has a relationship with Jining. Because the last time I left the Wu family and entered the mortal world to experience, my body was almost taken away.
Perhaps because of the shock of this incident, Wu Chengyu practiced hard day and night after returning to the Wu family. Wu Chengyu, who originally had average qualifications, seemed to have undergone a transformation, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast.
However, during this period, two Qingyun Sect's foundation-building monks actually came to question the crime. Now the head of the Wu family's Immortal Cultivation Family is Wu Chengyu's grandfather. Because he was afraid of the huge power of Qingyun Sect, although he felt unhappy, he still asked Wu Chengyu to come out and deal with the incident. The two explained why.
This incident was originally a great shame for Wu Chengyu, but opening the wound made Wu Chengyu extremely sad and angry. Now that Wu Chengyu has reached the peak of his Qi refining stage, he may enter the foundation building stage at any time. But because this incident made him feel uneasy, Wu Chengyu's grandfather planned to calm him down and let him go for a walk.
Wu Chengyu thought that if the monks of Qingyun Sect could find him, he could also find a casual cultivator named Jining. Thinking about the places where you can practice nearby, your family's business is Miaoshanfang City. I guessed that Jining should be in Miaoshanfang City, so I found a reason to come to Miaoshanfang City.
In a secret room of a palace-like pavilion with carved jade railings in Miaoshanfang City, Wu Chengyu sat face to face with the deacon who had asked for a cold jade box from Jining. The deacon asked with a smile on his face: "Chengyu, why do you patronize such a remote and desolate city like mine!"
Wu Chengyu seemed to be very familiar with this deacon, and he handed Jining's portrait to the deacon without any courtesy and said, "Uncle Wu, have you seen this person?"
This deacon, who is called Uncle Wu, is named Wu Gang and is a descendant of the Wu family. However, his spiritual roots are good and his cultivation speed is also very fast. He is now in the middle stage of foundation building. This level of cultivation is also rare among the second generation disciples of the Wu family. Maybe he didn't like the intrigue within the family, so he came to this Miaoshanfang City to be a deacon.
When Deacon Wu Gang saw Jining's portrait, he remembered that he had bought a Hanling Jade Box from this monk. Then he asked: "Has this casual cultivator offended my nephew?"
Wu Chengyu shook his head and told Wu Gang about how he was almost kidnapped when he went out for training and was later rescued by Jining, as well as how the monks from the Qingyun Sect came to question him. Then he said: "Fellow Daoist Ji saved my life. I guess Qingyun Sect will not let him go. If he is in Fangshi, I want to inform him in advance so that he can prepare in advance to escape this disaster!"
After hearing this, Wu Gang said: "The Xuantian Sect behind the Qingyun Sect is a super immortal cultivating sect in the Central Continent. They conveniently made Dongzhou a place abandoned by immortals and cut off the cultivation path of my Dongzhou monks. We and other local monks should have We share the same hatred!" But then he sighed and said: "If you and I are to fight against such a powerful person from the Kunyun Continent, it's just a mantis' arm blocking the car, and a small earthworm shaking the tree!"
Wu Gang thought for a while and said: "It's just that if this monk leaves Miaoshanfang City, there won't be many places in Dongzhou! However, there are only a few monks in Dongzhou, so it's not easy for a casual cultivator to have this opportunity. .I remembered that our Wu family in Sunset Mountain has always been short of monks on duty. Although it is a bitter and cold place, it is at least a place where we can practice."
Wu Chengyu's eyes lit up after hearing this. He originally wanted to help Jining find a way out, but when he heard Wu Gang's reminder, he immediately thought that Sunset Mountain was the property of the Kunyun Continent's Ten Thousand Nations Merchant Alliance, and Sunset Mountain was a place where Qingyun Sect could not interfere. So we discussed it with Wu Gang!
