Immortal Road.

Chapter 128: Old and cunning
After reminiscing about the past, Master Gui even took out a table, chairs and some wine from his storage bag and invited Lin Shan to sit down.

The two of them drank and chatted happily in the yard.

Although it was clearly Lin Shan’s cave, Master Gui treated him like a guest and told him not to feel restrained and to treat it as if he were back home.

"Nonsense, this is of course my own home."

Lin Shan secretly complained in his heart, but with the reinforcement panel as a backup, after confirming that there was no "condiment" in the wine and it was just normal spiritual wine, Lin Shan also pretended to be submissive.

This Master Turtle seems easy to fool, but in fact he is as cunning as a fox.

I'm afraid this old man doesn't care whether I'm a disciple of Zixiao Sect or not. Judging from his appearance, he might want to occupy the sect and use my name to avoid the enemy and recuperate.

After all, as long as Lin Shan was controlled, all the spies in the entire Ezo Sea area would become a joke, and the traces of Gui Zhenren would not be exposed at all. All the younger brothers who participated in the search and surveillance would never think that the target was in the cave where their envoy was hiding.

If Lin Shan is the local emperor of the Ezo Sea, then this move is the cultivation world's version of "using the emperor to command the princes."

Master Gui's plan worked perfectly. Controlling the Qi training cultivators would only expose them, and controlling the Jindan guardians was useless. Instead, directly controlling Lin Shan, who was the person in charge of the sea area, was just right.

While Lin Shan was chatting and laughing with Master Gui, he knew that he was probably under house arrest. His mind raced as he began to think of a way to escape, while secretly guessing the severity of Master Gui's injuries.

After three rounds of drinks, Master Gui began to talk about his days as a young man, wandering around the East China Sea and taking revenge.

He recounted all kinds of strange journeys and secrets in the world of cultivation.

Thrilling stories like the sea tomb exploration, the thousand-year-old ancient palace, the Far Cry, the mysterious tribe, etc., opened the eyes of Lin Shan and the young man in the foundation-building stage.

As they were talking, they came to the story that when Master Gui was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was abducted by a Jindan Stage cultivator and forced to be a guinea pig for the cultivator's magic skills. During that time, he could get no help from anyone, including heaven and earth.

The two of them hurriedly asked Master Gui how he escaped from the poisonous clutches in the end, but Master Gui avoided the question and just turned to Lin Shan with a smile while drinking.

"When I saw my nephew Lin, I was reminded of myself back then. Although I was in danger, I always had someone to rely on in my heart, and I was able to cope with all kinds of changes with the same attitude."

Lin Shan was holding the wine glass and suddenly suspended in the air, with a look of doubt on his face, and asked cautiously.

"So at this moment?"

"Just like that moment!"

Master Gui's eyes gleamed with brilliance! He was resolute and resolute!

His tone was crisp and clear, with a hint of something else in it, and he stared at him without blinking.

Although Lin Shan's heart was filled with shock and he suspected that Master Gui seemed to have seen something, his appearance returned to normal and he looked thoughtful.

"They are so similar?"

After hearing the answer, the latter smiled meaningfully and started to urge others to drink again. The three of them toasted each other again.

……

Half an hour later, Master Gui suddenly vomited two liters of blood while drinking! Lin Shan and the foundation-building youth were shocked, and the latter supported Master Gui with great concern.

"Master, how are you? You should take a rest and recover from your injuries."

Master Gui swayed and pushed away his disciple's hand, staring at Lin Shan with drunken eyes.

"It's okay. I'm meeting my nephew Lin today, so I won't leave until I'm drunk!"

Lin Shan carefully examined Master Gui's dark complexion and asked suspiciously, "I see that Master is seriously injured. It would be better for him to rest early."

Master Gui laughed loudly and stood up suddenly.

Slam the wine cup on the table and burst out with heroic spirit!

"The three sects of the devil are all bastards! They haven't been able to do anything to me in three years. It's just a minor injury, so it's nothing to worry about!"

Lin Shan remained calm, his eyes moving up and down, secretly observing his injuries, his mouth still showing concern.

"Master, an old man, is still a willing and generous man. I am deeply impressed by him."

The young man who was building the foundation beside him looked disdainful, thinking that Lin Shan had a fawning look on his face, and that he must have bad intentions in fawning on his master. However, he did not realize that it was obviously the master and the disciple who first broke into the cave, so if there was any bad intention, it should be them. Master Gui was even more pleased to hear what Lin Shan said, and he reached out to clink glasses with him again, and the two of them raised their hands and sank their glasses to each other.

"please!"

"please!"

Lin Shan was going to drink the glass as usual, but just as he was about to drink, the slightly tipsy Gui Zhenren opposite him suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers with lightning speed. A white shadow flew into his mouth at lightning speed, and before he could react, it rushed into his dantian along his body.

He was so frightened that he quickly mobilized his spiritual sense to look inward at his Dantian, and found a fat white worm hanging on his cyclone. With a "grunt" sound, it drilled into his "Xuanguan Acupoint" in the blink of an eye!
Lin Shan's face suddenly changed and he froze on the spot, no longer caring about pretending to be nice to Master Gui.

"What does this mean, uncle?"

Master Gui, who had just been in a drunken state, suddenly regained his composure and smiled slightly while stroking his beard.

"The acupoint-eating insect is born with a natural liking for gnawing at the cultivation barriers of living beings. It has drilled into the acupoint of the next level of my nephew. If you can't feed it in time, it will directly gnaw away your cultivation bottleneck."

"Without the bottleneck channel, you will never be able to step into the next realm in your life. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"

As Master Gui spoke, a smile of success appeared on his face.

If he hadn't taken advantage of Lin Shan's inattention, it would have been difficult to easily send the insect into his dantian, and his hypocrisy would not have been in vain.

After all, he had a vague feeling that although the boy opposite him was a little afraid of him, he always had the confidence to perish together with him, which made him a little unsure.

But now the future of cultivation is in my own hands. I am like a fish on the chopping board. I have the final say on how to shape it into a round or flat shape!
Looking at Lin Shan sitting there alone with a gloomy expression on his face, Master Gui simply threw a small bottle to him.

"This is the amount of food that the foodworm needs for one day. I don't have more, so I can only make a temporary allocation for you each time."

"You don't have to think about going out and telling on others. The feeding formula for this kind of poisonous insect is only in my mind. Even if you call the people from the Black Lotus Sect or the Purple Sky Sect, you won't be able to get it."

Master Gui flicked his sleeves and left the table casually.

The young man in the Foundation Establishment Stage next to him sneered at Lin Shan and entered the secret room behind him with his master.

The door of the secret room was closed, blocking Lin Shan outside. The last sentence came from inside, which seemed to be a response to the joke at the wine table.

"I was the Jindan stage cultivator back then. That little demon guinea pig tried to resist, and this is what happened."

"It's naturally very miserable, hahahaha."

……

Lin Shan in the yard didn't care about anything at this moment. He looked at the empty mysterious cavity in his Dantian. The white insect had already bitten him several times. He suddenly felt that his cultivation was unstable, as if the entire structure of his Dantian was about to collapse!
He immediately realized that what Master Gui said was true, and quickly opened the small bottle, only to find a white mist inside.

In a hurry, Lin Shan swallowed the mist directly. After the white mist entered his dantian, the white orifice-eating insects immediately stopped gnawing at his orifice and opened their mouths to suck it in. All the white mist then penetrated into their mouths and noses like strands.

After absorbing the white mist, the orifice-eating insect seemed to be full, and began to lie lazily in the forest and mountains and sleep soundly, obviously looking heartless.

Little did he know that Lin Shan was sweating profusely at this moment, and was filled with relief for having survived the catastrophe. But even after being relieved, he was still terrified.

Ever since Master Gui sneaked into the cave during the day and set up a killing formation, he had lost the initiative. The most he had in his hand was to die together with the two of them. If he didn't want to die, he could only passively accept it.

"As expected of a tyrant of the East China Sea, he is extremely cunning and sly."

Lin Shan then realized that he was just a young man in his twenties. Even if he was a time traveler, his experience could not compare with that of Master Gui, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.

You are still a little naive when it comes to playing tricks on others!
Even though it is impossible for everyone to know everything in the world by nature, the human mind always needs a process of training, and every failure makes one wiser. Every old monster has grown up from a young boy. But on the road of cultivating immortals, if you take a wrong step, you will never recover!

Lin Shan left the yard in silence and found that the formation outside the cave had disappeared unknowingly. It was obvious that Master Gui did not want to expose his injuries under Lin Shan's nose.

You can go wherever you want, the antidote is in my hand. If you are arrested and questioned by the demons, you can do whatever you want to survive.

Lin Shan flew directly to the other side of the island, opened up a new cave, and started tinkering with something as soon as he entered.

The most urgent task is to break free from the shackles that Master Gui has put on himself, otherwise he will have to passively go along with the crowd and be controlled by others forever.

"We need to find a way to get rid of the orifice-eating insects as soon as possible."
