Immortal Road.

Chapter 712: Jinglian's Current Situation and the End of Her Life
Green Spirit Mountain, Yilian Temple.

Located on the outskirts of Jiuyao Peak in the southeast of Chu, it is quiet, secluded and sparsely populated.

That day, Lin Shan brought people to visit.

The disciples outside the mountain gate had already received the message from Luanchun, and greeted them at the door in advance and invited them into the temple.

After walking through the long corridor of the duplex, the disciple finally stopped at the entrance of an archway. He did not dare to go in further and just made a gesture to reach out his hand.

Lin Shan brought Lin Fan with him, with Brother Ji sitting on his shoulders, and walked in.

There is a deep bamboo forest in the courtyard, with swaying shadows of leaves.

Master Huang and Yan Yuanchun were brewing tea around the stove and chatting about some interesting things. There were some insects chirping around them, exuding a leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

"You came."

After so many years, the voice has obviously aged a lot.

Lin Shan hurried forward to pay his respects, first to Master Huang and then to Protector Yan.

The former nodded indifferently, and the latter smiled and pointed to the cushion next to him, indicating him to sit down.

Lin Fan stood aside awkwardly because there was no seat prepared for him.

Lin Shan quickly introduced:

"Two seniors, this is my cousin Lin Fan, he is following me this time."

"I know, that kid from Zixiao Sect, right?"

Immortal Master Huang took a sip of tea and sneered. When Yan Yuanchun led the team to break out from the East China Sea of ​​the Song Dynasty, they encountered the siege and assassination by the Zixiao Sect. Lin Fan was also in the team at that time, and he remembered it clearly.

If it weren’t for Master Huang who pretended to be Old Man Zhong and stepped forward later, this team would probably have been wiped out by the Zixiao Sect!

Lin Fan dug his toes into the ground and almost found a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He originally thought that Lin Shan came to visit some Nascent Soul Stage True Lord, so he came along to take a look, but who knew it was this old man?

At that time, I was just a small fry in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and I followed the Peak Master and his fellow disciples to meddle in other people's affairs. But he still holds a grudge against me until now. As someone in the Nascent Soul Stage, isn't that too stingy of me?
Yan Yuanchun couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Master Huang.

"Old Huang, that was a long time ago, forget it!"

"Why let it go? Have you forgotten that you were almost killed by the people of Zixiao Sect?"

"Well, the past is the past. He was just a child at the time."

"Humph!"

Master Huang did not give Lin Fan a good look, and even looked at Lin Shan unhappily, blaming him for coming here on his own, but why did he bring irrelevant people with him?

Yan Yuanchun pointed to a place nearby and motioned Lin Fan to sit over there.

Brother Ji shrank his head and hid under his wings, not daring to show his head. He lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and pretended to take a nap. It seemed that this old man was not easy to get along with.

Seeing that the four of them had sat down, Lin Shan expressed his gratitude to Yan Yuanchun.

The last time the Wild Bear Gang attacked Jin Yao Peak, Protector Yan stepped forward to help the Kun Sect overcome the difficulties. After he completed the spirit-opening ceremony, they had already gone back, so he was unable to thank them in person. This time he was able to make up for it.

"It's okay. If you have this intention, treat Luanchun well. That girl works for you, so don't let her suffer! If I find out that she has been wronged by you, don't blame me for not telling you in advance!"

Yan Yuanchun said this with a serious look on her face, as if she was warning Lin Shan.

"No, no, in my place, Luanchun is second only to me. I have given her all the power in the church, and she is also the person I trust the most!"

Lin Shan hurriedly explained, fearing that Protector Yan didn't know how important Luanchun was to him.

"That's not what I mean. Are you pretending to understand or do you really not understand?"

When Yan Yuanchun heard that this boy had become a hands-off boss and left all the dirty work to his beloved disciple, he became even more furious!

Master Huang next to him coughed at this time and actually tried to save the situation.

"Well, forget it, let the young people solve their own problems. We, the older generation, should not get involved."

Lin Shan cast a grateful look over there. Old Huang is still reliable!

Master Huang gave him a look that told him to fend for himself from now on, and did not dwell on the matter too much, but immediately changed the subject.

"I heard that you seemed to have returned to the Song Dynasty afterwards?"

Lin Shan quickly agreed.

"Tell me about the current situation in the Song Dynasty."

Master Huang also has certain feelings for his hometown and wants to get some information from him.

Lin Shan briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in Yichuan, the struggle between the Song Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty, and the demise of the Black Lotus Sect in southern Xinjiang.

Immortal Master Huang just listened quietly. Dharma Protector Yan couldn't help feeling sad. She still had deep feelings for the Black Lotus Sect, otherwise she wouldn't have named her new sect Yilian Temple.

"Yanchunlou in Yichuan was later taken over by a new madam. It is still running well. Although the business is not very popular, it is still the largest one in the market."

Lin Shan knew that Protector Yan was a very sentimental person, so he told her the story of Yi Chuan again.

Lin Fan also cautiously interrupted at this time to convey the situation in the Song Dynasty in recent years.

The two elders listened quite seriously, and sighed continuously, lamenting the unpredictable nature of life.

But since they have already left, there is no point in going back. For people from the evil path, returning to the righteous kingdom is far from being as comfortable as staying in the evil path cultivation world.

"Senior, what have you been through in these years? Can you tell me about it?"

Lin Shan was also very curious about Master Huang's experiences over the years, so he asked carefully.

Master Huang did not hide anything and told him frankly.

"I was actually looking for a life-extending spiritual object at first, because although I am now over 500 years old, I made an inappropriate breakthrough back then, which resulted in a serious loss of my life span, and now I am on the verge of death."

"Later, I encountered Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil sides hunting down Lay Buddhist Jinglian. This matter caused a lot of uproar in the surrounding area. I investigated and interviewed for so long but still had no clue, so I simply joined in the hunt."

"Because I once fought with him in the East China Sea. I know that his Dharma image is a three-foot green lotus. He is good at wood-based health preservation. Maybe he has a longevity elixir."

"It's a pity that this old guy was very low-key when he was in the East China Sea of ​​the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect him to be so flamboyant when he came here!"

"Of course, it seems that there is an invisible big hand in the dark, constantly locating and tracking his position, luring many Yuanying stage monks to come. Even if everyone notices it, they will take advantage of it."

"That old fellow is fighting alone and getting braver and braver. He has killed seven Yuanying on the way. However, in comparison, many of them quit halfway, and more and more people are chasing him."

This was the first time that Lin Shan heard the inside story about Master Jinglian, and he understood clearly in his heart that he was indeed the reincarnation of a patrolling immortal from the upper realm!

Being hunted by so many people of the same level in the lower realm and being targeted by the conspiracy of his enemies in the dark, it is normal that he can survive for so many years and even fight back from time to time.

It is understandable that Master Huang suspected that Ms. Jinglian had a magical object that could prolong her life.

Because when he was in the Song Dynasty, he once attended the birthday banquet of Master Gui during the Qi training period. At that time, Master Jinglian was already famous in the East China Sea and had been a force to be reckoned with in the world of cultivation for five hundred years!

Considering the two or three hundred years he spent in obscurity before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he should have reached the end of his life long ago.

But now, two decades have passed, and he is still in good health, traveling around the world and living a good life!

Even if you know how to maintain your health, you shouldn't be so energetic, right?
Therefore, many people chased him because they wanted to know the secret of his longevity. Maybe his skills or secret techniques really have amazing effects.

Of course, more people came for the so-called magic weapon "Hyacinth" mother device, fearing that he would use this thing to control and change the situation in the world of cultivation.

"Later, as I saw more and more people joining in, I realized I couldn't make any profit from it, so I just walked away."

"Some people found out that Master Jinglian had a disciple named Xiongshan, so they came back to capture him and threaten Master Jinglian." "I'm old, and I don't have many years left to live. I might as well come back and spend some time with Yuanchun. She's suffered so much over the years, and she's been helpless. It's all my fault."

Speaking of this, the old man actually became affectionate!

"I bother!"

Lin Shan, Lin Fan, and Brother Ji cursed in their hearts at the same time.

You only remember to accompany me now, what were you doing before?
Fortunately, it was Yan Yuanchun who was reasonable and patient enough to endure the suffering. If it were someone else, they would have been filled with resentment!
You disappear for such a long time at any time. Any woman who follows you will be left alone in an empty room all day long, and it will be the same whether you are there or not. She is really unlucky!

Master Huang also knew that he owed too much, so he sighed and felt regretful.

However, Protector Yan patted him gently. She was already very content that they could be reunited now.

It is not difficult to imagine that Luanchun's personality is inherited from his master.

Lin Shan was silent.

In fact, he had long felt that Master Huang had always had a sense of urgency, busying around all day long and no one knew what he was doing. It turned out that he was doing it to prolong his life.

Since there was really nothing else to do, he decided to make the most of the last moments together and make up for the woman who had waited for him all her life.

Protector Yan's face was filled with a bright smile, and happiness was embodied at this moment. Her wish was really simple, just to be reunited, and it would be worth it no matter how long she had to wait.

"I still have less than half a century to live. Go ahead and do whatever you want. I can help you secretly look after the Kun Cult in Chu State. Nothing will go wrong in the short term."

Huang Xianshi, who was already old at this time, encouraged Lin Shan, saying that with such cultivation at his age, he would have a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future, but he should be careful about safety when going out.

In a year of great opportunities, there are indeed many more opportunities than usual.

"You guys came at a great time! What a pity, if I was born a few hundred years later"

Immortal Master Huang sighed deeply, his eyes filled with confusion and melancholy.

It is not difficult to imagine that his aptitude must have been the best in the world at that time. Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage as a casual cultivator is something that many people dare not even think about.

It’s a pity that the hero has grown old and his hair has turned gray at an early age. I will pour a cup of wine to my hometown.

"It's just that I came here in the wrong time."

He took the hand of Protector Yan, and his old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

After visiting the two elders, the three said goodbye and left.

On the way, Lin Fan looked hesitant, and Brother Ji asked him why.

Lin Fan answered more candidly:
"To be honest, I have a life-extending elixir. Although I was touched by their friendship, I was reluctant to take it out just now because we are not that familiar with each other."

Even if he took it out, Master Huang would never let him suffer any loss and would definitely exchange it with something of equal value.

But the value of things like longevity elixirs lies in their ability to maintain value.

Everyone who gets it is reluctant to give it up, thinking that if they get old, they will try to eat it to see if it can change their fate.

Anyway, it’s definitely a good idea to be prepared!
Brother Ji understood his behavior very well and said that if it were him, he would also keep it hidden and not take it out. It would rather a friend die than give it to me, so there is no need to give it to someone he just met.

Lin Shan felt even worse after hearing this. He didn't expect that Master Huang disliked Lin Fan so much, and this guy actually had such an idea.

"Actually, I also have a longevity elixir."

He had also obtained the fifth-rank elixir, Qionglin Star Moss, from Yuxing's secret collection. This thing, as identified by the enhanced panel, could extend one's life by four centuries!
That is two hundred and forty years!

If it was an ordinary life-extending elixir, he would have given it away without a second thought, but this herb was so precious that he couldn't help but keep it for himself. After all, fortune and misfortune can happen to a person at any time, and no one can predict what will happen when he gets old.

This is also due to his selfishness. Most people would be reluctant to do so!
But he thought that Master Huang had saved him before, and if he really was on his deathbed, he might not be able to just sit there and do nothing.

"Never mind, there's still half a decade to go."

With a heavy heart, Lin Shan took one last look behind him. In the distant Green Spirit Mountain, he imagined that Immortal Master Huang and Protector Yan might be playing the zither and drinking wine together, and playing chess.

Be a carefree couple of gods.

A month later.

"Are we in the right place?"

Brother Ji lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and looked around. They had been tossing and turning here for a long time, running around like headless flies.

"That should be right. It's eighty thousand miles northwest of the cliff forbidden area, isn't it here?"

Lin Shan fiddled with the virtual star plate, constantly correcting the direction, and the pointer made a crisp ticking sound.

It might be difficult for someone who doesn't understand astrology to do this, but it's not a big problem for a virtual star chart.

Just at this moment, a woodcutter passed by below. He was carrying a hatchet and a basket on his back, humming a folk song as he walked along the mountain path. He looked so pleasant.

Lin Shan and the others went down directly, and Brother Ji was the first to question:

"Well, old man, do you know where Zabagon is?"

The woodcutter just widened his eyes, opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, he pointed at Brother Ji and nodded tremblingly.

"Monster, monster!"

With a plop, the backpack rolled down and he actually fainted on the ground!

Lin Fan gave it a reproachful look, thinking it was too quick-talking and meddling in other people's business.

"Can't you just stop talking and let us ask?"

"Oh oh oh, let me ask what's wrong!"

The two started bickering again, and there was no peace on the way.

Lin Shan walked straight forward, kicked the guy and spoke coldly.

"Okay, stop pretending, get up, I want to ask you a question!"

The woodcutter lay on the ground motionless.

Lin Shan drew out his knife directly!

"Oh, please don't. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, sir, please spare my life!"

The fellow stood up with a somersault, bowed quickly, and answered with a happy smile on his face.

"Master, you are asking about Zabagon, right? This entire area, including these mountains in front of us, belongs to Zabagon. You are already here!"

Lin Shan asked again:

"Then do you know there is a village nearby?"

"Uh"

The woodcutter paused, his eyes began to wander, and he stammered but could not utter a word.

Lin Shan simply grabbed the man by the collar.

"Let's go, lead the way!"

"Oh, stop, it hurts."
