Immortal Road.

Chapter 814: The truth is revealed, and the tail is wiped to protect the body

Letter:

Sailor Moon had no intention of greeting him, but simply told him that she was going to the far south to visit and invite an old friend to come out.

With this person's assistance, her chances of winning this time in attacking the Cha Nu Palace will be doubled!

Let Lin Shan go to the gathering point mentioned in the letter first. She will bring people to meet up in three months at the least and half a year at the most.

"She invited me to help, but she left me here, asking me to go to the gathering point by myself and wait for her for half a year?"

Lin Shan was a little surprised. He had never seen such an attitude of asking someone for help.

The key point is, how powerful that person is, she has to humble herself and go and invite him in person!
He looked at the meeting point in the letter:

Bozhou, Jidong Port.

It’s nearly three hundred thousand miles away from here!

It is probably located in the southwest direction, facing the sea, with many outlets to the sea, and also has many independent circles of the cultivation world.

It would probably take nearly a month to get there by myself on a bug boat.

"Before she left, did the Water Fairy tell me where she was going or who she was visiting?"

Lin Shan asked the old professor of Jingyang Academy.

This man was old, with a kind face, but the key point was that his eyes looked very strange, even a little ambiguous, and he smiled and replied:
"It seems to be in Dawei Mountain, Qinghua Ferry, and Shuohai above Bozhou. If you are worried, it's not too late to chase him now."

Lin Shan had never heard of these place names before. He took the large map and looked at them one by one in the direction of his finger. Finally, he found these two places on the long coastline in the west.

He thought about it and decided that there was no need for him to disturb Sailor Moon's good deeds. He could just go to the gathering place and wait. At worst, he could go there and find a place to practice by himself. It wasn't like he had nothing to do.

"okay, I get it."

"If Master Lin is not in a hurry to leave, you can come and meet our ancestor first. He has wanted to see you for a long time."

The professor extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"The ancestor of Jingyang Academy?"

Lin Shan heard vaguely that the outside world said that he had already fallen, so why was he still alive?

The old professor knew what he was wondering about and explained it casually.

"Before our academy, there were two Nascent Soul ancestors who went out together to the Virūpī Desert. It was my Great Master who died, but the Second Great Master is still alive."

Now that the farce is over, Lin Shan, as an outsider, is confused. He only heard that the various Nascent Soul ancestors have returned, and it seems that the other ancestor of Jingyang Academy has also just returned not long ago.

"Okay, then please lead the way."

The sandalwood scent is lingering and the bamboo forest is deep and secluded.

The Confucianists’ favorite bamboo is planted all over the courtyard.

Beside the stone table, an old woman with silver hair and wearing a hairpin was looking at the small pond, making tea and feeding the fish.

After hearing the noise, he clapped his hands and turned around.

"Excuse me, Junior Brother Xu. Please go down first."

"Yes."

The old professor retreated respectfully.

Lin Shan walked in.

He could feel that the old woman in front of him had a slightly higher cultivation level than himself, probably in the middle Nascent Soul stage. The flow rate of the star energy in his body would change differently when facing different people at close range.

Generally speaking, in the world of cultivation, people rely on these rough steps to judge the other party's general level of cultivation.

However, the old woman's aura was not revealed outwardly. Instead, she was calm and composed, like a normal lady, and personally served him a cup of tea.

"sit."

Lin Shan sat on the stone bench as he was told.

"My dear Lin, you are a guest from afar. How about trying this ape tea of ​​mine?"

The other party came up and asked him to taste the tea directly, and addressed him not as fellow Taoist or leader, but as young friend, which seemed to pay more attention to seniority, which was intriguing.

Lin Shan felt that the ancestor of Jingyang Academy must have a close connection with Shui Bingyue.

Put your hands up and the enhanced panel will float before your eyes.

【Tixing Tea】

Quality: Fifth-grade spiritual tea

Introduction: The high mountain cloud tea produced in the Dishi Plateau can slightly remove the evil nature of the tea, return the original energy, and cultivate one's body and mind.

Enhancement required: 128 points

Lin Shan picked it up and took a sip, and the effect was immediate.

I just felt my mind was clear, and it seemed that a desire, or some kind of thought, was diluted in an instant.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that I have committed too many sins of killing recently, and I have unknowingly begun to regard human life as worthless.

Of course, this is normal. As your cultivation level increases, the gap between you and creatures at a lower level than you will become greater and greater, and corresponding feelings will appear.

It's like if someone passes by and steps on a few ants to death, no one would pay too much attention to it.

Even before he does something, he will pay more attention to cause and effect. He will not kill unless the hatred cannot be resolved. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he will not commit murder indiscriminately.

"There is a murderous nature brewing in you. I see a disregard for life."

The old woman scattered a handful of fish food. The carps in the pond were quite human-like and hesitated, not daring to move forward, as if they were afraid of some characteristics in Lin Shan.

"I have been raising fish in this pond for hundreds of years. It usually doesn't happen. You are different from others."

When Lin Shan saw this scene, his pupils shrank instantly!
Because he understood that the murderous nature that the old woman mentioned should refer to the evil spirits that he nurtured and indulged!
He is the master of the evil spirits, and part of the evil spirits' sins will fall on his head.

However, he felt that the old woman was just guessing. She detected that something was wrong with him, but she was not sure whether it was caused by the evil spirit.

So I specifically reminded him to be alert.

"Thank you for your advice, what is your relationship with Narcissus?"

"I am Bingyue's master's wife."

The old woman turned around and saw that he seemed to have noticed the hidden danger. She nodded and did not go deeper into the topic.

"My Dharma name is Ying Rong. You are of the same generation as Bing Yue, so you can call me Master Aunt."

If it were someone else, it might be considered taking advantage, but in the eyes of Patriarch Ying Rong, he and Shui Bingyue had an extraordinary relationship, so he naturally became the elder.

Lin Shan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he couldn't tell what. After drinking the other person's spiritual tea and being instructed, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call her "Master".

Next, faced with a barrage of responses and household registration-style inquiries, he finally broke into a cold sweat!

"How old are you this year, and how long will you live?"

"One hundred and sixty-one, one thousand and ten years."

"When and where did you first meet Bingyue?"

"A hundred years ago, Jiangning City in northern Shandong."

"Do you know her origins?"

"I don't know."

"How far has your relationship with her progressed?"

"only friends."

The conversation paused and Patriarch Yingrong raised his eyebrows.

"only friends?"

Lin Shan nodded, being realistic.

"only friends."

Ancestor Ying Rong looked at him seriously, their eyes met, and pressure came instantly.

"But she told me that she already had an unclear relationship with you!" "What???"

Lin Shan was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but take a breath.

What is an 'unclear' relationship?

Patriarch Yingrong looked as if he knew it, and didn't give him a chance to speak, as if he had guessed the whole process from his expression.

“Young people are easily impulsive and lose their minds, and place their emotions and fantasies on emotions.”

"However, for us who practice Taoism, distracting thoughts are our biggest enemy on the road!"

"I won't talk about anything else today, I just want to tell you that Bingyue is first and foremost the future pillar of our Jingyang Academy. The next generation of inheritance relay will also rely on her."

"So you should understand that she can't always follow you."

Lin Shan was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Who knows what Sailor Moon said here, is she deliberately confusing the relationship between men and women? What is her intention?

Or maybe it was Patriarch Yingrong who was deceiving him?
What does the Jingyang Academy inheritance relay have to do with me!
What do you mean 'you can't always follow me'? Do you want me to marry into your family?
He thought about it wildly and felt that this matter was a bit strange. Sailor Moon deliberately left half a month in advance, as if she was deliberately avoiding this meeting.

Three people will be exposed, so there are only two of us, and there is no way to defend ourselves, right?

What are you thinking, woman?

Naturally, Lin Shan would not be so narcissistic as to think that Sailor Moon was really interested in him, so he specially brought his elders into the bureau to help bring the two of them together.

It is very likely that this trap was set up intentionally for other purposes, waiting for me to fall into it!

Therefore, the letter that was given to Xun Gu Sect, asking her to come to Jingyang Academy, was something she had arranged in advance!
The ancestor Ying Rong on the opposite side realized that he had grasped the relationship between the two at this time, and began the soul-searching questioning common to the elders.

"Your ancestral home is in the distant Song Kingdom?"

"um, yes."

"Then you traveled a long distance to the Black Lotus Sect?"

“Uh huh??”

"Isn't the Hei Ku elder beside you a human?"

"I"

"You're still entangled with several demonic witches!"

"???"

Lin Shan asked this question but no one said a word.

Wow, he was just about to take off his underwear!
Needless to say, it must be Qianjizi who leaked the secret. He agreed to keep it a secret from me in Yuxing's secret storage, but he probably drank too much and spoke without restraint. Everyone else knows the tricks, so it is impossible for Ancestor Yingrong not to know about it.

Sailor Moon cheated me, Qianjizi misled me!
The key point is, it’s okay that she herself comes from the magic world, but how did this old woman know about the witches and demons around her?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Patriarch Yingrong leisurely asked about an old friend.

"Lord Huangtu, how are you these days?"

Huangtu Zhenjun is the Buddhist name of Master Huang Xianshi!
Lin Shan was suddenly startled and thought of something.

"You know him?"

Patriarch Yingrong snorted coldly, and there seemed to be something ambiguous in his tone.

"Of course, I met that old guy when I was chasing after Master Jinglian. He's not a good person, and he's incredibly thick-skinned!"

"If our companion, Lord Corpse, hadn't sent me a message, I wouldn't have known that he was dying!"

"If I hadn't personally sent someone to Chu to investigate, I wouldn't have known that you were actually the leader of the Demon Cult!"

"boom!!!"

In an instant, a huge energy force was locked on him, like a rainstorm penetrating through rocks, rushing towards him.

Lin Shan's body responded unconsciously, and he also used his skills to fight back. Two bright pillars, one white and one blue, shot up into the sky between heaven and earth!

All the pores on his body were sending out warnings like crazy, as he thought the other party had seen through his intentions and was about to attack him.

"Shua~~~"

Patriarch Yingrong restrained his energy and withdrew all attacks.

"Good boy, no wonder you can defeat Zhong Shenxiu. It seems that the rumors are true. You have passed the test."

"Pass? Pass what?"

Lin Shan hadn't been frightened for a long time. This sudden shock made him subconsciously think of the Nightingale Organization.

Patriarch Yingrong remained calm and continued to make tea.

"I agree with you and Bingyue."

"What. Agree?"

"I have also helped you erase those flaws in your past resume. You don't need to worry about the aftermath."

"Well this."

"But there are a few points you need to pay attention to."

Ancestor Ying Rong warned solemnly word by word.

"You were seen using evil spirits at Jiuyao Peak. Don't touch that thing again, or you will be in trouble!"

"Those witches, demons and the like, please be careful and don't become addicted to promiscuity."

"There is also the pursuit and inquiry from the Corpse Driving Sect's Western Xiang Twelve Sect Alliance. I also helped you and True Monarch Huang Tu to reject them."

"While you and the girl are at the Ca Nu Palace, I will secretly take care of the Lujiang League."

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Shan walked out of the Jingyang Academy in a daze, bombarded with information.

Looking back at this ancient Confucian academy, the statue of the founder holding a sword and looking around in the square, and the bustling and magnificent hall below, he felt a rare sense of fear.

Ancestor Ying Rong was very energetic throughout the whole process, taking the initiative and suppressing him so much during the conversation that he couldn't even raise his head. Many secrets that he had kept for many years were actually known to him!

Fortunately, he is one of us.

Moreover, this elder also helped him take care of many funeral affairs, saving him a lot of trouble in the future, which made him feel relieved.

Then he shook his head rarely, never expecting that one day he would have to rely on others to clean up his mess.

It's just that this favor is obviously too big, and he has no idea how to repay it in the future.

Today's conversation made him feel as if he was in a dream.

"Flutter, flutter, flutter~~~"

Just at this moment, a small dot flew over from the horizon.

Landing on his shoulder was a mechanical puppet bird that he was very familiar with.

Messenger partridge!

He used the nest to retrieve it, and then took out the letter, which was indeed a letter from Lin Fan to him from the Song Dynasty.

After so many years, it seems like not much has passed since we last parted at the forbidden area on the cliff.

Lin Fan said in the letter that he has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. And Brother Ji has also successfully entered the fifth-order demon infant stage in the Peacock Clan of Luosong Mountain Range. The two met again!

They had originally planned to continue traveling after they reached the Nascent Soul stage, but the situation in the Song Dynasty had always been rather grim. Ever since the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, their strategic position had become very passive. It was said that they had started fighting again with the Yan Kingdom in the north and the demon tribe in the Yanyun Mountains.

The cultivation world of the Song Dynasty and the demon clan of the Luosong Mountains have once again joined forces to fight against the invasion from the north, so they cannot get away for the time being.

Lin Fan didn't mean to ask Lin Shan to go back to help. He obviously knew that there were a lot of things going on here and he probably couldn't handle them all.

It was just because it concerned his brother's future, so after he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he immediately checked the secret files of the Zixiao Sect to find the whereabouts of the "Wind and Thunder Sutra" for him.

All the relevant top-secret information about Ouyang Feng, the abandoned disciple of Zixiao Sect a thousand years ago, was revealed after he became an elder in the Nascent Soul stage.

Not to mention the grievances and hatreds that Ouyang Feng had in the sect before, after his rise, he went to a foreign country and established a force in a certain place for a time!
Lin Fan’s suggestion was to let him go to the place where Ouyang Feng founded the sect.

The name of this sect is also easy to remember:
Fenglei Pavilion.
