Chapter 778: Faking Death and Setting an Ambush, Waiting for the Rabbit

Guardian Yan looked up in surprise.

It turned out that the person coming was Lin Shan!

"You're back?"

"So and so is back"

Master Huang lay in the rocking chair groaning, too weak to open his eyes.

Lin Shan went straight forward to take his pulse, lifted up Lao Huang's eyelids and took a look. The cloudy eyeball inside was rolling around.

"Okay, as long as you're not dead!"

"???"

Master Huang was confused. Which bastard was so bold as to speak to me like that?

Protector Yan patted the back of his hand gently and told him that Lin Shan was here.

"Who is who"

As expected, when Master Huang was dying, he even forgot who Lin Shan was.

Good guy!
Lin Shan was stunned. He had rushed back these days and was just about to extend his life, but when he saw the death, he actually didn't want to care about him anymore.

Old thing, how could you forget me!
"Alas, he can't remember anything now. I'm afraid he's no different from a living dead person. Don't blame him."

Dharma Protector Yan looked at Immortal Master Huang lying there, and recalled his heroic figure in the past when he roamed the world of cultivation, happy and unrestrained, but now he was old and had gray hair, and he couldn't help sobbing.

Lin Shan's heart softened and he also sighed.

Just at this time, Master Huang started muttering again:
"I remember Lin Linshan, that stinky boy Yi Chuan."

Lin Shan's face darkened, and he said in a bad tone:
"Song Dynasty, Bowang Marquis Mansion, Nightingale Headquarters, you are surrounded by people on both sides"

“Hey, hey, hey!”

Huang Xianshi was originally listless and almost dying, but after hearing these words, he immediately came back to his senses and raised his arm to signal him to shut up!
The romantic past that happened behind Protector Yan's back is not something that can be talked about nonsense!
Lin Shan almost laughed out of anger. This old guy had red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside, and he was covered so tightly even when he was dying.

Protector Yan seemed to have heard something, but she was immersed in grief and sorrow, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

He just hurriedly held down Master Huang and signaled him not to get excited, fearing that he would die from emotional instability.

Lin Shan took out the longevity magic item "Qionglin Star Moss" that he had obtained from Yuxing's secret hiding place.

This is one of the few top treasures in this world, which can extend one’s life by four centuries!

Even those with great supernatural powers would probably scramble for it.

He was reluctant to give it to Old Huang at first, as the guy was still alive and kicking at the time, and he thought that maybe things would turn around later.

It’s a pity that after so many years, there has been no progress at all.

There was no other way. He couldn't just watch Old Huang die and leave Protector Yan alone as a widow. They were his only elders in the world of cultivation.

"This is."

When Protector Yan saw him rushing over and taking out the elixir, he had a premonition in his heart and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

When Master Huang was dying, his nose was particularly sensitive. As soon as he smelled the scent of the elixir, he felt like he was floating in the air!
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, looking servile:
"Hurry up. Take it."

Lin Shan handed the thing to Protector Yan speechlessly.

The latter carefully peeled off the grass skin, took out some water and gave it to Master Huang to drink.

There was no earth-shattering vision, no unforgettable wonder, just a stick of incense later.

Immortal Master Huang's eyelids twitched slightly, and he moved a few fingers, then fell silent again.

His throat was rough, and he mumbled for a while before speaking:
"Yuanchun, don't worry about it."

"Old Huang, how are you?"

"Just be quiet and accompany me through this last journey"

Protector Yan was confused and hurriedly checked his breathing and pulse, then turned around and asked Lin Shan in a panic.

"It seems... it doesn't work, what should I do?!"

"Ok?"

Lin Shan didn't believe it. This was something that had been personally inspected by the enhanced panel. How could it be useless?

He stepped forward personally and grabbed Master Huang's wrist.

Powerful star energy instantly flowed into it, extending to the eight extraordinary meridians and detecting all the heart and lung organs. Master Huang's eyelids jumped!
As the star energy went deeper, Lin Shan frowned.

Although the functions have aged, blue light spots have penetrated everywhere, repairing various tissues of the body, and the life-extending spirit is reflected in all aspects. Logically speaking, there will be immediate effects in the short term.

It seems that this guy does not have much true energy in his body. Where did it all go?
What about Nascent Soul?
I couldn’t find it!
He simply mobilized his spiritual sense and rushed directly into Master Huang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Master Huang's body trembled obviously and he was almost frightened. The Heavenly Gate was originally closed, but Lin Shan broke in without paying attention!
Now that’s good, Lin Shan quickly shuttled through the sea of ​​consciousness and found the location of Master Huang’s soul.

In the midst of the glittering light, the old fellow sat upright on the yellow cloud.

Countless stars were pouring in from all directions in his sea of ​​consciousness. His condition was recovering visibly, and at this moment he was breathing in energy with an intoxicated look on his face.

He was shocked when he saw Lin Shan breaking in!

In panic, he hid his hands behind his back.

"How did you get into my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Lin Shan's spiritual consciousness gathered into a human form, and he walked up with a suspicious look on his face.

"What are you hiding? Let me see!"

"No, it's nothing."

Lin Shan went straight behind the old man and found that he was holding his Nascent Soul in both hands and was looking at him blankly!

Huh?
After comparing them at once, it was suddenly discovered that Master Huang's spirit and appearance were both in his eighties or nineties, but his Nascent Soul only looked to be in his forties or fifties!
"you."

"Shh~~~"

Master Huang, feeling guilty, pulled him to his side and signaled him not to gossip outside.

"I am only over 500 years old now, but I consumed too much of my lifespan when I was young, so I ended up like this."

"Thank you for coming all the way here to extend my life. It really paid off that I loved you so much!"

"I am not fit to resume my movements yet, so I need to pretend to be paralyzed to lure the enemy out."

"It just so happens that you have also broken through the Nascent Soul stage. If we go into battle together, our chances of success will be greatly increased!"

"What the hell? What a mess!"

Lin Shan was a little confused by him, but he understood something.

"You were slumped in the recliner outside earlier. Were you pretending?"

"Ah yes."

“I fuck #@-_-||:)&”

Lin Shan was about to get angry on the spot!

Huang Xianshi quickly held him back and said, "Don't get excited, brother. Don't get excited. My time has come. If you don't extend my life, I will only have a few months to live. This elixir is not wasted! The main reason is that there was a powerful enemy lurking outside, and I wanted to drag him down with me before I die!"

After much persuasion, Lin Shan was finally subdued. After a long explanation, it turned out that Old Huang was not clean either!

When he was traveling around before, he met a Yuanying stage cultivator. The two of them temporarily joined forces to search for treasures, but later they had a dispute over the uneven distribution of the spoils.

However, when it comes to the Nascent Soul stage, if the gap in strength is not that big, if you can't beat the opponent, you can still run away if you want to. It is difficult to kill him completely, so there is no need to make enemies.

So after a brief fight, the two of them, fearing each other and not wanting to completely tear each other apart, parted ways.

But later, after Master Huang returned to Protector Yan, he discovered that someone was secretly following him and waiting for an opportunity to spy on him!

After verifying from many sources, Master Huang had a guess in his mind. He realized that the other party had been trying to track him down since he found out that he didn't have much time left.

He has been waiting outside, planning to "inherit the estate" after his death.

This is indeed a good way to get rich overnight in the Nascent Soul stage, and it also has a high safety factor!
After the death of Master Huang, all his wealth must have been left to his Taoist companion Yan Protector. However, Yan Protector and all the disciples of Green Spirit Mountain would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Nascent Soul Stage.

So this fortune can definitely be pocketed!
The man was hiding outside and watching secretly, coming over every once in a while to quietly observe Master Huang's condition.

Immortal Master Huang did not tell Protector Yan about this matter. He planned to handle it himself, so he pretended to be on his deathbed ahead of time, hoping to lure the other party into taking action.

But who would have thought that the man was as steady as an old dog.

No matter how weak Master Huang appeared to be, he would just sit on the Diaoyutai and refuse to show up, making it clear that he was waiting for Huang to die before taking any action!
There was no other way, so Master Huang had to enter a dormant period early, dissipate most of his true energy, hide his Nascent Soul in the Purple Palace, and prepare to fake his death.

Protector Yan was completely unaware of this and cried every day. Even though he was heartbroken, he could only pretend not to see it.

As luck would have it, Lin Shan came back!

After pouring a longevity elixir into his mouth, Old Huang is completely helpless!

"So that's how it is. I thought you were afraid that after you woke up, Guardian Yan would hold you accountable for Nightingale's incestuous behavior."

Lin Shan nodded, it seemed that he had misunderstood.

When Master Huang heard this, he became furious and glared!

"Why do you keep mentioning this in front of her??? Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous. I have turned over a new leaf long ago, okay?"

After much persuasion, Lin Shan agreed not to mention the matter again and the matter was finally resolved.

"We were just talking about that guy. I will continue with the original plan. Your coming here can just help me out. Let's try to get rid of this sewer rat!"

Huang Xianshi was originally alone and had no confidence, so he could only try his best and leave it to fate. Now that Lin Shan has returned after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, he is very excited.

Two of them are at the same level, so it should be no problem for them to deal with that powerful enemy.

Lin Shan hesitated and asked:

"What about Guardian Yan?"

"Don't tell her. We have to handle this matter by ourselves. I'm afraid she will be worried and anxious, so let's keep it a secret for now."

Master Huang is indeed a model of a prodigal son, and he decided to keep Dharma Protector Yan in the dark.

Lin Shan naturally let him do what he wanted, and secretly sighed in his heart that it was a good thing that he came back quickly and withdrew decisively from the forbidden area on the cliff, otherwise he would have been left with no choice but to collect the body of this old man.

To be honest, judging from his miserable appearance when he came in to check his pulse just now, he was old and frail, and his true energy had dissipated. How could he be in the prime condition of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
If it were him before his breakthrough, he could probably join forces with Lin Fan and Brother Ji to fight!
Exit from the sea of ​​consciousness, return to the outside world, and open your eyes.

The guardian Yan beside him was already waiting impatiently!
"How is Old Huang?"

Lin Shan felt sorry for her as he saw her concerned look, but for the sake of the greater good, he shook his head and sighed against his conscience.

"There are too many deficiencies in his body. Even if he takes the longevity elixir, the effect of the medicine will be exhausted just to repair the deficiencies. It will be difficult for him to live another life. Alas."

"Ohh Ohh ohh."

Dharma Protector Yan burst into tears and sobbed on Immortal Master Huang's chest.

She thought there was hope, but it turned out to be just a false alarm. After all the ups and downs, one can imagine how she felt.

Immortal Master Huang's body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was struggling with the inner struggle.

Lin Shan sat here and stayed with them, secretly using his pupil technique to scan the outside, looking for anything suspicious.

In the next few days, Master Huang's health deteriorated.

Dharma Protector Yan frantically ordered his disciples to go out and collect all kinds of medicines, no matter if they were useful or not, just to try their best to keep his Taoist partner.

Unfortunately, it was of no avail in the end.

The fate of life and death, and the path of reincarnation, are ultimately major hurdles that stand in front of everyone!
If Lin Shan had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and his lifespan had exceeded a thousand years, he really wouldn't have been able to just give him a magical medicine like Qionglin Star Moss!
Who doesn't have a plan for what might happen in the future? Who can be sure that their cultivation will be ahead of time?

The efforts of the entire sect failed to save it.

The bells rang for the funeral, white silk was used as mourning clothes, all the disciples in the sect wore mourning clothes, and spirit banners were hung in the ancestral hall.

On the day that Immortal Master Huang left, Dharma Protector Yan was in a trance, his mind was wandering, his eyes were dim and lifeless, his lips were colorless and his face was pale.

Green Spirit Mountain did not make a big fanfare, but handled the matter in a low-key manner.

Luanchun even came back from Jiuyao Peak specially to take care of the funeral for her master. She was busy running around and was extremely surprised to see Lin Shan coming back!

Lin Shan smiled at her and secretly sent a message to her, asking her to evacuate the elite disciples in the temple and transfer important assets.

Luanchun was very smart and could naturally guess from this that something was about to happen and that arrangements needed to be made in advance.

For three consecutive days, Yilian Temple was busy with funerals.

Immortal Master Huang was buried in a coffin deep in the bamboo forest alley in the back mountain. The disciples in the mountain built temples, altars, platforms, fields, fences, ponds, etc. here, and built a courtyard complex according to the Feng Shui pattern.

Dharma Protector Yan is dressed in white and wears a headscarf. As a widow, she moved in here on her own, obviously intending to spend her old age with Master Huang.

Her depressed spirit infected the disciples in the sect, and many of them burst into tears.

The new successor was chosen to be a female cultivator in the late foundation-building stage. According to seniority, she is Luanchun's senior sister and will be in charge of all matters on and off the mountain in the future.

into the night.

It is deep and quiet, with swaying shadows of the trees.

The courtyard was hung with oil-paper lanterns, which flickered in the wind and looked even more desolate under the moonlight.

Guardian Yan sat alone in the mourning hall, with his head lowered, staring at his feet and thinking about the past.

A cloud of gray mist floated in the night sky and landed on the fence of the field outside.

Transformed into a grass owl.

This grass owl was extremely light, and its eyes were extremely smart at night. It first carefully observed its surroundings, taking in all the terrain and structures.

Then he jumped and skipped, and slowly approached the courtyard naturally.

It was very cautious, looking around and pretending to look for food, occasionally lowering its head and pecking at things.

In this way, we gradually arrived near the mourning hall.

When it saw Guardian Yan, it first focused its attention on his wrists, where there were two bracelets of different colors, one green and one yellow.

The yellow storage bracelet was originally carried by Master Huang, and now it has been left to Protector Yan after his death.

As soon as the grass owl sees it, you can be sure that it is the one you are looking for!

It was still very cautious, and explored the area around the mourning hall very carefully from various angles, fearing that there might be any traps or ambushes, and making sure not to miss any place.

Until there was no trace of Master Huang's life left, and only a cold corpse was lying inside.

A breath slowly emerged from the back mountain.
