Chapter 152: Premeditated Yunmengze
"Maidong! Get to work!" Lingxiang hollered the Cizhu sword and shouted towards the Wangxiantai.
On the Wangxian Terrace, Maidong was eating cakes and cakes when he was suddenly touched by the spiritual incense. Without even having time to wipe the sesame seeds from the corners of his mouth, he flew down from the Wangxian Terrace.
"Even if you have to work, you have to wait until the people are full. If you rush them like this, people who don't know will think you are calling for their souls!"
Maidong complained, took Acorus's hand and started listening to his pulse.
"It floats but is weak, thin and still. I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."
"Can it be saved?" Lingxiang asked with a frown.
Mai Dong rolled his eyes at her and said, "Who are you looking down on? Let alone this kind of palpitation and weakness, even if a ghost came to take her life, I can save her. But her mind has been disturbed for a long time. Even if her body is adjusted, if the heart injury is not healed, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to wake up."
"This is easy. You save her life first. As for the rest, I will make plans after I come back from Kunwu Sect." Lingxiang gave the instructions while flying up to the Wangxiantai.
As soon as she stood still, she took off all the purses and small bags on her body and handed them to Zhenren Qianyuan.
"Second Brother, please keep these treasures safe for me. When I come back, I will definitely go to Kuncheng Peak to ask for them back!"
After saying this, he turned around, bowed to Taoist Priest Xuantan, and began to make hand gestures.
Taoist Qianyuan was still wondering what was in the small bag, when he saw a bright light flash on Lingxiang's body, and she instantly turned into a yellow talisman paper man.
As the spiritual fragrance disappeared, the paper man slowly fell to the ground. As soon as it touched the ground, it began to burn. Then a gust of wind blew by, and the paper man and the ashes were blown away by the wind.
Taoist Xuantan was shocked. This little girl was quite accomplished. She could actually use the art of replacing spirits to perform the divine spell of purifying heaven and earth. He could not help but look at Master Qianyuan, who was looking down at the package Lingxiang handed to him. Inside was a bag of pine seeds that Lingxiang had just peeled off the stage...
……
"Baby, you've kept me waiting for a long time." Ling Xiangfang opened her eyes and heard Xuan Huai Zhenren teasing her, "It was still bright when we left, but now it's already sunset. Where have you been playing and forgot the time?"
Lingxiang twisted her fingers and silently chanted the Soul Gathering Technique for a while, then laughed and said, "You old man, I clearly went to help your Kunwu Sect rescue people, but you, on the other hand, have been having a great day here, and you actually made fun of me. You really have no shame."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai stroked his beard with a smile: "Since you are saving people for our sect, did you gain anything?"
Lingxiang got off the bed, walked to the chessboard and started looking at the game.
"You two are really weird. I've been daydreaming for the whole day, but you haven't even made a few moves in the game of chess." As he said this, he picked up the black piece and was about to drop it, but was stopped in mid-air by Master Xuan Huai.
"I say, girl, you have ruined the treasure that I have spent so much effort to set up, and now you want to interfere?" As he said this, he snatched the chess piece from Lingxiang's hand, muttering "no, no".
Lingxiang was pulled away from the chessboard by Master Xuanhuai by her clothes. Lingxiang kept muttering about being stingy, and then walked to the antique shelf, picked up a Bagua plate and started looking at it.
"It can't be said that there is no gain. At least the little disciple of Taoist Xuantan is safe for the time being."
Temporarily? No hindrance means no hindrance, but what does it mean temporarily?
Xuan Huai Zhenren was very puzzled and asked hurriedly, but Ling Xiang smiled softly: "It's not temporary, I think that girl is usually a thoughtful person, so the demons took advantage of her. Although I have driven away the demons that occupied her consciousness, her mind is still damaged. If I don't guide her well, I'm afraid she will be taken advantage of in the future. Besides..."
Lingxiang said, putting the Bagua plate back: "Besides, the real culprit behind this has not been found out yet. Even if he gets better, he will still be a lamb to be slaughtered when he comes back, right?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai frowned and stroked his beard again: "Didn't you say before that you knew who was from the demon clan?"
Hey! After going around in circles for so long, I finally got to the point!
Lingxiang thought so, and sat on the chair while pacing: "I do know who is the demon, but..."
She dragged her voice and glanced at Master Xuanhuai, while Master Fuyin, who was standing nearby, felt a little pity for the white-bearded old man sitting opposite her when he heard Lingxiang's tone.
If it were in the Yuanqing Sect, if his little sister had such an accent, she must have taken a fancy to something in some hall. This is not an appropriate way to say it, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Although the little sister is not a thief, if there is something that she is thinking about, all the brothers and sisters will be restless for a long time.
It seems that Junior Sister has been looking around in this room just now, and something must have caught her eye.
Fellow Daoist Xuanhuai, please take care of yourself!
Xuan Huai Zhenren seemed to understand, he just smiled and stroked his beard and said: "Baby, if you like the things in my room, even if there are only one or two, I can still give them to you. But if you are greedy and want more, even if you take them away, I am afraid that my junior brother will go after you Yuan Qing when he returns to the sect."
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang actually crossed her legs and said, "Look, look, I haven't even told you what I want, and you're already ringing the bell at me. I'm so lucky that I saved someone from your sect. You're really too stingy!"
Master Xuanhuai just smiled without saying anything. He took one look at Master Fuyin's move and his smile widened even more - after laying out the trick for so long, Master Fuyin finally took the bait.
When Lingxiang saw the excited expression on his face, she knew that her senior brother had made a wrong move again. Although Senior Brother Fuyin was well-versed in history and current affairs, his chess playing style was just like his personality. He was straightforward. Although he taught her how to lay out the chess pieces when she was a child, he never beat her since she learned it.
"If you ask me, you shouldn't play this game of chess. My senior brother is such an upright person. What's the point of you winning him?" As he said this, he stood up and walked to the side of the chessboard, bending over to look at the chess piece.
This chess game is irreversible.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the more a bad chess player plays, the worse he gets." Lingxiang said as she put away the chess pieces. As she put them away, she said slowly, "I don't ask for much, but there is only one thing that the real person can give me. I'm afraid the real person won't be willing to give it to me. If he refuses to pay, I'll have nowhere to turn to."
Seeing Lingxiang put away the chess piece, Master Xuanhuai knew that she had no other choice. This time she had given in. It all depended on whether he would come down the stairs.
"Oh? Tell me, what do you want?"
Hearing Xuan Huai's question, Ling Xiang knew there was a play, and hurriedly put down the chess piece in her hand, and said with a smile: "Kunwu Sect has been a great sect that subdues demons since ancient times, and has many rumors about the demon world. What I want is the entrance to that ancient place - Yunmengze."
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Xuanhuai's eyes widened, and even Master Fuyin was so shocked that he sat up.
"You want to go to Yunmengze? That's the abode of ancient gods! How can mortals enter at will?" Master Fuyin was shocked and asked, holding Lingxiang's hand.
Ling Xiang's face was calm, she just smiled and looked at Xuan Huai Zhenren: "I think many years ago, someone must have come to Kunwu Sect to ask about Yunmeng Lake, right?"
Taoist Xuanhuai frowned, and after a long time he sighed and asked, "Just now I felt that your eyes and eyebrows were similar to someone, but I never remembered who it was. Now I think it's right. What is your relationship with Fairy Tumi?" Hearing this, Taoist Fuyin was even more surprised. Could it be that Fairy Tumi had been to Yunmengze in the past?
Lingxiang smiled and said while packing up the chess pieces: "Fairy Tumi is my mother."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai frowned even more, and then he sighed, "I was still young at that time, and my master was still alive..."
……
“Master, Master!” A young man rushed into Feiyi Palace, “Master, something bad has happened!”
Master Lan Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed. When he heard the visitor was so panicked, his long eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"You little brat, your master is still alive, what's wrong with that!" He raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the young man, "What did your master teach you on a daily basis? People who practice cultivation should be steady and calm. How can you be so flustered?!"
The young man rubbed his painful forehead, his facial features squeezed together, but he listened and sat on the mat beside him.
Seeing the young man like this, Master Lan Yuan seemed very satisfied. He stroked his beard, closed his eyes and asked, "Tell me, why are you so panicked?"
The young man rubbed his head and imitated Master Lan Yuan's leisurely manner and said, "A woman came down the mountain and said she wanted to see Master."
"Just meet him, there's nothing to be surprised about. There aren't that many pilgrims here on weekdays." Master Lan Yuan said as he clasped his hands in a meditation pose, as if he was in no hurry to meet the guests.
The young man also followed suit, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes and said: "That person said her name was Tu Mi, and she brought a bunch of bottles and jars and a monster with an extremely ugly appearance. She said she could solve the problem that no one in my sect can practice the Ni Ling technique." As he spoke, he began to breathe in and out like an old Taoist.
As soon as they finished speaking, the old man and the young man sat still, motionless for a long time...
"What!!" Master Lan Yuan suddenly jumped up, "Xuan Huai, what did you just say? Say it again!"
It turned out that the young man was Xuan Huai when he was a child. He sat down like an old monk, exhaled leisurely, and then slowly repeated what he had just said.
Upon hearing this, Master Lan Yuan immediately snapped his fingers towards Xiao Xuanhuai again.
"Since you have such an honorable guest, why don't you bring him into the hall quickly? He is still sitting here. How can you not know the importance of the guest!"
The young man Xuan Huai covered his forehead with his hands, his face full of grievance: "Master clearly told me to be calm just now..."
Upon hearing this, Master Lan Yuan immediately raised his hand and snapped his fingers again: "How can you be so calm? This is a matter of great importance to the future of the sect! You are still sitting here? Why don't you go and invite the person to the hall?!"
Xiao Xuanhuai quickly stood up and ran out, holding the painful spot on his head. In a moment, he saw him leading a woman into Feiyi Palace. Behind the woman was not a monster, but a little Taoist boy. However, the Taoist boy looked a little...
Some are hard to see...
On this side, Master Lan Yuan was still surprised at the appearance of the Taoist boy, and on the other side, Fairy Tu Mi bowed to Master Xuan Huai.
"Thank you for your courtesy, Immortal. I am Tumi, a wandering immortal. Let me get straight to the point. The purpose of my trip is to ask you how to get to Yunmeng Lake."
Master Lan Yuan was shocked when he heard this. This was really straightforward. He cleared his throat and said with the look of an old immortal: "Since you know about Yunmeng Lake, you should also know that my sect will definitely not reveal anything about Yunmeng Lake. Isn't it futile to ask like this?"
Fairy Tu Mi smiled when she heard that. Her posture and appearance were so extraordinary that Xiao Xuanhuai, who was standing beside her, almost drooled.
"Of course I know. Kunwu Sect has guarded the secret of Yunmeng Lake since ancient times and has never allowed outsiders to set foot in it. But if I can help your sect solve the problem of your Ni Ling Gongfa, I wonder if you can make an exception and reveal a few things?"
As Fairy Tu Mi spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the Taoist boy behind her. The boy immediately understood and walked up to Master Lan Yuan holding an open wooden box.
Master Lan Yuan looked down and saw that there was only a porcelain bottle in the wooden box. He was puzzled, but Fairy Tu Mi seemed to know what he was thinking and said:
"This is a powder I made. It can regulate the flow of the inner spiritual veins of people who practice the Silk-Channing Technique. If the real person is willing to tell me the entrance to Yunmeng Lake, I will offer the formula of this medicine with both hands."
Upon hearing this, Master Lan Yuan took out a porcelain bottle from the wooden box. As soon as he pulled out the cork, he smelled the scent of silver dan grass. Even when he smelled this scent, he also felt the difference in the flow of spiritual energy in his body.
He had tried to practice the Chansi technique many times before, but gave up every time because he was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body. If this medicine could really help him practice, then his huge Kunwu Sect would not have only two people guarding it.
That’s right, these two people are Lan Yuan and Xiao Xuan Huai…
Master Lan Yuan suppressed his excitement, pretended to be calm, and put the porcelain bottle into the box.
"Although this medicine from you can indeed help Kunwu to get rid of the difficulties I have been facing for many years, Yunmeng Lake is also the responsibility of Kunwu to protect for generations. It is really inconvenient to tell you."
Hearing this, Fairy Tumi smiled again and waved her hand, and the little Taoist boy retreated.
When Master Lan Yuan saw this, his eyes seemed to be attached to the Taoist boy's wooden box. He watched the medicine getting farther and farther away from him, feeling extremely anxious.
At this time, Fairy Tumi walked around Feiyi Palace with her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "The Kunwu Sect has such a large Taoist temple, but there are only two Taoists, one old and one young. The incense is so sparse. After walking around the temple, I can hardly smell the scent of sandalwood. It's really pitiful! I don't know..."
Fairy Tumi sighed and said, "I wonder if the Kunwu Sect will still exist a hundred years from now. It's really hard to say! Chi Yanzi, do you think it will become the Kunyou Sect or the Kunta Sect?"
It turned out that the Taoist servant was named Chi Yanzi. He said in a mature tone, "It's not impossible. He might cheat and deceive people to make a living. But what our ancestors left behind cannot be kept. I'm afraid he won't be able to explain himself in the afterlife..."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a knife cutting into Master Lan Yuan's heart. His master's last wish was to strengthen the Kunwu Sect, but due to the current state of his spiritual roots, it was difficult to practice the skills passed down by the ancestors, so now there is only him in the Kunwu Sect, and Xuan Huai, who he picked up when he went down the mountain...
“Alright, alright!” Master Lan Yuan stretched his legs like a three-year-old child, as if to say something naughty: “Yunmengze is the resting place of ancient gods. There are not only ancient gods but also ancient monsters. You have to tell me your purpose of going there first, and then I can decide whether to tell you how to enter.”
Fairy Tu Mi smiled when she heard this: "As you can see, I am good at the art of medicine. I have a prescription in my hand, and one of the herbs can only be found in Yunmeng Lake."
"Prescription? What prescription?"
"This medicine is called 'Huitian' and it has the power to bring the dead back to life."
