Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

"Oh, the City God knows?"

"Hmm~ This tea tastes much better than the one I had before." The City God took another sip of tea and said with a smile.

Su Mu was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he plucked a handful of tea from the tea tree in the Yuannan courtyard.

The moisture in the tender leaves in his hands evaporated quickly, and the ancient pine trees on both sides of the long steps broke off two branches with a "crack". The branches flew into the air and turned into symmetrical wooden sticks. These wooden sticks changed rapidly in Su Mu's hands.

Within a few breaths, an airtight box appeared. He put the roasted tea leaves in it, closed the box, and gently pushed it in front of the City God.

This set of movements is smooth and smooth.

The City God can't take his eyes off it, and the smooth use is pleasing to the eye.

"Then I will respectfully accept it."

After putting the tea away, the City God slowly spoke: "I wonder if you still remember what I said before, that the evil ways of the Yan Dynasty were flourishing."

Su Mu nodded.

"Then, fellow Daoist, do you know how the Yan Dynasty's evil ways have developed to this extent in just a few decades?"

"It's related to Qingxuan Temple."

"Yes and no."

"It's related to Qingxuan Temple, but it wasn't something they did on their own initiative. The reason why the Yan Dynasty's heresy developed so rapidly was because the Demon Slayer Division and the Demon Exorcist Sect obtained most of the classics left behind by Qingxuan Temple."

"The use of these classics allowed them to rapidly experiment and develop in the field of the Left Path, until they reached the pinnacle of the Left Path today."

"Oh, by the way, you should have heard of the Complete Demon Book."

"heard about it."

"This is what the Qingxuan Temple left behind. Otherwise, with only a few decades of the Yan Dynasty, even ten years earlier, it would have been impossible to compile a complete demon book. This is just what the Qingxuan Temple left behind."

"Back then, Qingxuan Temple was the leader of the left path. It was only a little bit away from reaching a corner of the Immortal Sect's spiritual palace. What a pity, what a pity."

"What happened to cause the decline of Qingxuan Temple, which has existed for seven or eight hundred years?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"That's unknown. Rumor has it that they sought immortality, sought immortality, studied forbidden techniques, and ultimately became possessed, pushing the entire Qingxuan Temple into an unknown abyss."

"Some also say that the headmaster of Qingxuan Temple was nearing the end of his life and knew he had no chance of cultivating immortality, so he eventually retired to the mountains, causing Qingxuan Temple to fall into decline."

"However, the most credible rumor is that Qingxuan Temple's desperate gamble was actually intended to glimpse the immortal fate, but in the end, for some unknown reason, the immortal fate was shattered and scattered among the human world. Because of this desperate gamble, the entire sect's thousand-year fortune was cut short in an instant, and ultimately, they also suffered the same fate as the immortal fate, shattered into pieces."

"Most of the inheritance was inherited by Yan Chao."

"There are also a small number of side branches who have led their own disciples to establish their own sects and never interact with each other until they die."

"Huh? There is Pang Zhi in Qingxuan Temple?" Su Mu discovered the blind spot.

The City God looked at Su Mu strangely, as if to say, this is it.

"No, I mean the other branches."

“This…” The City God thought for a moment.

"Back then, Qingxuan Temple had many branches. If we divide them by inheritance, the Demon Slayer Division and the Demon Exorcist Sect are the largest. There's also another very special and legendary sect, the Qinghua Sect. I wonder if you've heard of it."

"Qinghua Dao... Cangmu Shu, Taoist Qingsong?"

"It seems that fellow Daoist knows. That's why it's said that in this world, things are unpredictable. A side sect that didn't have the chance to become an immortal actually produced true immortal cultivators like you and Taoist Qingsong."

"In fact, there is another person in Qinghua Dao who is very famous in Yan State."

Su Mu's mind kept turning over. His memory was now so good that he could remember everything he saw. Soon he found another person in his memory. This person was just mentioned by others in a conversation.

"Master Si Chong."

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist, you have all met them. What a wonderful fate." The City God nodded.

“That’s right, Taoist Si Chong, one of the three great martial arts masters of the Yan Dynasty, is a martial artist, but it seems that it is not impossible to enter the Dao through martial arts. Of course, Taoist Si Chong is still a little bit short of that.”

"If you want to know about the past of Qingxuan Temple, it may not be that easy."

"These two are the most famous. Of these, the Yan Dynasty only obtained the remains and does not know the full story of what happened back then."

"Master Qingsong is erratic, while Master Si Chong has gone to travel around the great rivers and lakes in order to break through. It is uncertain whether he is still in the Yan Dynasty."

"As for the rest, it seems many of the fragments have been lost in the long river of history, and those who remain are unknown whether they are alive or dead."

"Wait, there seems to be one around Wen Ding. I don't know if it is there or not. If you have time, you can go look for it." The City God was also a little unsure.

Su Mu nodded and wrote down the information one by one.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for clarifying my doubts."

"You're welcome." The City God shook the tea leaves in his hand as he spoke.

As the two chatted, it was dark before they knew it.

"By the way, what brings you here to see me?"

The City God slapped his forehead and almost forgot about the important matter, and took out an invitation.

"What does this mean?" Su Mu took the invitation, confused for a moment.

"Here you are, the Water God of Xunyang Lake. He's taking office and is holding a grand banquet. He has to see you, after all, although his predecessor wasn't a legitimate deity, you still managed to kill him with a single sword strike. The residual power of your sword energy is still there, and his body is still warm. So, I'm begging you to show mercy."

"this…………"

Su Mu was a little amused and helpless for a moment. This really was true.

"Why do you say that? It's like you're paying your respects to the boss."

"Hey, you're right. I have to recognize you, take a look, and feel your temper, or you'll end up getting hacked to death in the lake."

Having said that, the Yuannan City God muttered a few words again.

"Speaking of which, this Xunyang Lake is also quite strange. Two righteous gods and one wild god all died at the hands of the Sword Immortal..."

Su Mu heard this and thought… “You, the City God, are saying something weird? Is that really okay?” This was slander in her heart, but she said, “Thank you, City God, for making this special trip.”

"It's alright, it's a good opportunity to catch up and I can also bring some gifts back with me."

"I see it's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll come find you another day to catch up. No need to see me off." The City God waved his hand, and in a few steps, he turned into golden light and disappeared from the spot.

After watching him leave, Su Mu finished the noodles in the bowl that had already gone cold.

After clearing the dishes, he walked into the house. Outside, the stars were shining brightly, and inside the house, the candlelight flickered.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the invitation was casually placed on a corner of the table. In the quiet environment, it was just right for me to look at it.

I feel the endless spiritual energy circulating in my body intertwined with various principles and theories. It seems peaceful, but it is actually quite chaotic and needs to be adjusted.
