Eternal Tranquility

Yuan Ji finally got back to the topic and said seriously: "Master Nephew Liu, do you know about the great mirage in the Yin Moon Blood Realm?"

Liu Qinghuan almost got goosebumps when he shouted to his nephew. This person looked more like a politician than a monk.

He raised his head, paying attention to Ming Yangzi's expression from the corner of his eyes, bent down slightly, and said: "This junior is very talented and has little knowledge. I don't know much about it anymore. I would like to ask my senior to speak clearly."

Yuan Ji took out a jade slip from Shanrugliu, tapped it twice with his fingers, and a light flew out, transforming a map in front of several people: "Look, this is what our alliance gathered all parties to collect. clues, and finally drew the most complete map of the Yin Yue Blood Realm."

His fingers moved slowly among the light spots: "The Yin Yue Blood Realm is vast, almost twice the size of our interface. There are three main continents, each named after the word "moon", and the Great Mirage is among them. A continent within Dark Moon."

He clicked on the one under the two connected continents on the right, looked at Liu Qinghuan and said: "The Great Mirage Sea, according to the legend of the Yin Yue Blood Realm, this place is occupied by a monster called a mirage."

"Legend?" Liu Qinghuan immediately asked doubtfully.

"Haha." Yuan Ji touched his broad chin and continued with an approving look: "Yes, the Great Mirage Sea is very famous in the Yin Yue Blood Realm. There are many legends. The most famous one is that there is a mirage in this sea. Dragons. Both mirage beasts and mirage dragons like to breathe clouds and fog, so that the fog in the mirage sea is full of fog all year round. These fogs are different from ordinary fog and can enchant the mind and transform into various illusions. There are many palaces and colorful shadows, which are very similar to the mirages we see. The difference is that mirages are just pure illusions, while the mist spewed by mirages can make people think it is real. "

Liu Qinghuan listened with great interest, but Yuanji stopped and looked at him, as if waiting for him to ask questions.

He glanced at Ming Yangzi, who had a straight face, nodded to Yuanji with a smile, and said, "Oh."

Suddenly there was a wave of embarrassment in the room, and Master Yuanji choked, and the smile on his face trembled along with his fat.

Ling Yang Lord Ren Qianqiu, who had been watching his nose and heart, coughed as if to hide his smile. He and Ming Yangzi have worked together for many years, and their friendship is much deeper than outsiders know. However, because the Shaoyang sect and the Wenshi sect were at opposite ends of the competition, their relationship seemed lukewarm.

So Yuanji asked him to be a lobbyist, but he made the wrong idea!

He smiled sarcastically in his heart. A casual cultivator thought that he had great power, so he tried to subdue Ming Yangzi. He had no idea!

Ling Yangjun glanced at Liu Qinghuan vaguely, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

However, you still have to stand up when it's time to make a rescue, so as not to make the scene ugly. He waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Yuanji, you might as well say it directly. There are no outsiders here, and everything can be easily discussed. After all, everyone is thinking about the interface."

Lord Yuanji walked down the slope and said with a smile, "That's fine."

He solemnly said: "The Alliance has determined one thing from certain channels, that is, there is a Dushuo Mountain in the Great Mirage Sea, and an Innate Ghost Peach Tree grows on the mountain. The branches are lush and leafy, covering an extremely wide area. In According to legend, the ghost peach tree is the medium that connects the two realms of yin and yang. There is a ghost gate in the northeast of its branch, and there are thousands of ghosts and monsters inside. "

The innate tree is the sacred tree. The Yin Yue Blood Realm is the top-level first-level interface in the small world, and it is normal to have a sacred tree. But this person told them about this... Liu Qinghuan's face became a little ugly, and he already understood the general purpose of Yuan Ji's visit.

Yuan Ji continued: "I think you can see the current situation very clearly. The war in the sealed world will never end. I, Yun Mengze, have a blood feud with the Yin Yue Blood Realm. We will not stop fighting until the last soldier is killed. However, the other party is In the first-level interface, there are more monks than us and they are stronger than us. The outcome seems to be doomed for our side's defeat. Therefore, after the alliance learned about this innate ghost peach tree, they made a plan to send people to sneak into Yin Yue Xue. We will open the gate of hell and release thousands of demons and monsters to harm the enemy. In this way, the opponent will fight on both sides, and our chances of winning will be greater."

Liu Qinghuan lowered his head expressionlessly and did not make any response.

At this time, Zuo Zhishan clenched his fists and bowed: "Thank you so much, senior, for allowing me and my junior brother to open our eyes! It's just that I can't wait for the ignorant kid. This is both a sacred tree and a ghost. It's really scary." It’s really something that Jindan monks like us would dare to think about.”

The words were polite, but they couldn't hide the deep sense of ridicule.

Yuan Ji smiled like a Buddha, and continued as if he hadn't heard anything: "Master Nephew Zuo, don't belittle yourself. You and Master Nephew Liu are both the best among the younger generation."

He turned his eyes and showed an awe-inspiring look: "Before the disaster of destroying the world, all of us, the monk Yunmengze, have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world. But the Dushuo Mountain is wandering in the great mirage sea, and is blocked by the Yin Yue. The monks in the blood realm are deliberately hidden, and it is even more difficult to find them. Only when they absorb the moonlight during the blood moon and blood sun, they will release a trace of innate wood energy, which cannot be concealed by formations. "

He stood up and said with utmost sincerity: "I came today because of a merciless request. I heard that Master Liu's nephew is a green wood holy body that is rare to see in a thousand years. This spiritual root and physique are innately compatible with the wood energy. As long as it is restored again By practicing a kind of induction spell, you can easily sense the trace of innate wood energy emanating from the ghost peach tree..."

Liu Qinghuan finally couldn't help it and sneered: "So the alliance wants to send me to find the ghost peach tree and open the ghost door? Am I still grateful to thank you for looking up to me and entrusting me with such an important task! Innate! Since the ghost peach tree is connected to the ghost realm, how can I escape among the ghosts after opening it?"

Yuanji's face darkened: "Martial nephew Liu, the alliance is also thinking about the life and death of the entire interface. Look at Qianye Mountain, look at the Izuyun Prefecture of Sao Feng Continent today, how many monks are killed every day! Besides, when the time comes, You will not be allowed to go alone, but a team of monks will go with you."

"Indeed." Liu Qinghuan said sarcastically: "With so many people dying every day, I, a little golden elixir cultivator, should be willing to sacrifice my life and forget about death with a righteous heart. However, I heard many casual cultivator friends talking about you and saying that you You have sharp magical powers, boundless magical power, and noble moral character. Most of all, you have a compassionate heart. My admiration for you is like the endless river. If I really want to go on this journey of righteousness, I hope to be with Yuan Ji. Senior, please walk together to show my respect for you!"

Yuan Ji's face turned red and white as he spoke. When he heard the last word, he jumped up, and the fat on his body trembled like a mountain of meat: "You!"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "What about me? Senior, am I wrong in what I said?"

Yuan Ji shook the flesh on his face and breathed heavily: "Fellow Taoist Mingyangzi, is this the good disciple you taught?"

Mingyangzi raised his old eyes, stroking his long beard and said slowly: "Disciple, you must not be rude to your seniors, but I understand that you want to be close to fellow Taoist Yuanji. If you really want to find that tree , open that door, I will propose an alliance in the name of Wenshi Sect, and make your wish come true."

He opened one eye wide and saw that Yuan Ji's face was red and white, and he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Fellow Taoist, are you excited to receive such an important task? Well, I am savoring what you said: I Yun Monk Mengze, everyone must take on the responsibility of protecting the world, that’s really good!”

Yuanji finally walked away in frustration!

Lord Lingyang smiled helplessly: "Look! Look! You three, master and disciple, are really more rogue than the other."

Ming Yangzi had stopped smiling at this time, and the wrinkles on his old face were deeper than before. He stood up with a flick of his robe: "This matter is not over yet. If it is like what he said, the monks of the Aoki Holy Body will also It’s not all over the streets. The alliance’s decision is not something you or I can make personally. My apprentice will eventually..."

Ling Yangjun also stood up and walked out, solemnly saying: "What do you want to do? I'll help you. My four major sects can't be the master, how can it be that Yuanji can be the master!"

Mingyangzi sighed and uttered two words with various emotions: "Great justice..."

"What a righteous thing!" Lord Lingyang spat regardless of his dignity: "He's just a clown."

Mingyangzi said no more and turned to Liu Qinghuan who was following him: "You and your senior brother stay at home and go to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance for your master."

Although he ran away from Yuan Ji, Liu Qinghuan knew that he might not be able to escape this situation, otherwise he would not have overheard Ming Yangzi's words that were almost a sign of weakness before.

He couldn't bear the embarrassment of his white-haired master, so he chased after him and said, "Master, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, the apprentice can accept it. Master, you don't have to worry too much about me."

Ming Yangzi patted him comfortingly, turned around and left with Ling Yangjun.

Watching the two of them walk away, Zuo Zhishan, who had only spoken one sentence before, put his arms around Liu Qinghuan's neck: "Let's go drink with me!"

Zuo Zhishan was not used to those who said comforting words, and only silently expressed his support for Liu Qinghuan through actions.

However, the more I drink the Chuchangjiu, the more melancholy I get. Liu Qinghuan smiled bitterly. He seemed to be unable to escape from doing things beyond his power.

In the next few days, Mingyangzi went to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance every day, but his face never cleared up.

On the contrary, Liu Qinghuan gradually became calm and ready to accept any result.

The calamity clouds in the sky are as usual, and the entire Eagle's Nest City is mobilizing troops and generals. Yan Jing has come from Qianye Mountain to officially take over the command responsibility.

The other side of Qianye Mountain was handed over to another monk he brought out. Yandang Fort is impregnable and guarded by four treasures including the Mountain and River Cauldron and the Shifang Wanling Banner. It is very difficult to capture.

Liu Qinghuan took this opportunity to go to Haoyuan City to collect spiritual materials and other items that might be used in the future, but found that it was even busier than the Eagle's Nest City.

Apart from the addition of a towering city wall, Haoyuan City has not changed much from the past. However, due to the establishment of Eagle's Nest City, the city's status has plummeted, and there are not as many monks in the city as before. On weekdays, most of the people who come and go are casual cultivators without any sect.

Therefore, those streets became somewhat depressed. After all, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was not as strong as the Immortal Cultivator Alliance and could only live with a sigh of relief.

The results of the deep mirage in the Yin-Moon Blood Realm came out soon. Liu Qinghuan was on the list of people going forward as expected, along with twenty-three other Golden Core cultivators and three Nascent Soul cultivators.

Naturally, Yuanji would not really be on the list, otherwise he would have to be careful of hidden arrows on the way. But he didn't get a favor either. He was placed in the first group of monks to enter the Yin-Moon Blood Realm to fulfill his righteousness.

Ming Yangzi handed him a storage bag and said: "I asked for this from the alliance. Although I can't stop you from taking risks, I finally gave you some means to save your life."

Liu Qinghuan took it and poured out the contents. There were quite a few items. The most eye-catching ones were two magic weapons and a spiritual treasure.

Ming Yangzi picked up the things and explained them to him one by one: "One of these two jade slips is a complete map of the Yin Yue Blood Realm, and there is also information about the various forces in this world collected by the alliance for several years. I asked for all the local information and stored it all in it. You need to read it carefully. The other one is the five-qi induction tracking spell. After practice, it can greatly improve the perception of the five elements of spiritual energy. "The most useful thing for you is the perception of wood spiritual energy."

"Both of these magical treasures are for personal protection. You can explore them later on your own. And this spiritual treasure is the Qingming Meditation Pendant."

Mingyangzi picked up the teardrop-shaped jade pendant that exuded a faint purple light and said: "The most powerful thing about the mirage beasts in the Great Mirage is creating illusions. Although this pendant is a spiritual treasure, it is driven by spiritual consciousness, so it is considered It is extremely rare. You only need to wear it around your neck, and it will absorb the spiritual consciousness you emit. Once it is full, it will no longer absorb it. You can also store your spiritual consciousness in it when it is exhausted. Supplement. In addition, it can keep your mind clear and not be confused by illusions.”

Liu Qinghuan nodded repeatedly, knowing that Ming Yangzi had tried his best. It is already very difficult to get out all kinds of top-secret information collected within the alliance, let alone the Qingming Jingxin Pendant.

This was the first time he saw a magic weapon that was driven by divine consciousness and could also store divine consciousness.

Mingyangzi took out two more talismans and handed them to him: "One is a substitute talisman. When you encounter a life crisis, it can replace you once. The other is a sword talisman, which seals a sword intention from the heyday of the master." ”

Liu Qinghuan put everything away: "Thank you, Master."

Mingyangzi sighed: "Master is still incompetent and cannot protect you."

Liu Qinghuan hurriedly knelt at the feet of Mingyangzi and said, "Master, there is no need to be sad. Many people say that this disciple has deep blessings and will definitely return safely."

Not to mention the sadness of the separation between the master and the disciple, on this day, the calamity cloud in the sky finally changed.

Wisps of golden sunlight penetrated the thick clouds and spilled onto the earth. The big cloud vortex in the center even shed a white light that reached into the sky, and the wonderful fairy sound resounded all over the world.

At this moment, auras appeared everywhere in Yunmengze, and cranes and auspicious beasts composed of auras were flying in Qushang swamp, celebrating the ascension of Grand Master Dayan.

Liu Qinghuan saw a blood-stained figure bathing in the white light. As he slowly lifted into the air, the blood stained on his body gradually turned into a spotless white Taoist robe.
