At the foot of the southeastern part of Jueming Mountain, a group of disciples from the Temple of Heaven wearing white sacrificial robes walked among the thickly piled corpses of fallen leaves. en8.

These disciples all held sacrificial vessels and had solemn expressions on their faces, a bit more violent than ordinary humane cultivators. The corners of their white sacrificial robes are tattooed with fine blood-red flowing clouds, which is the symbol of law enforcement disciples. The law enforcement disciples of the Seven Holy Lands are generally composed of seniors or direct disciples who have entered the Dao or above. They are powerful and experienced, and are usually sent out to perform some quite serious tasks. It is extremely rare for a team of ten people to hunt down a girl who has not even entered the Dao like this time.

However, this is enough to show that the imperial master is afraid of this person.

"Is there anyone in this area?" The leader looked like a young man, but his actual age was probably much older. After all, it takes many people decades or hundreds of years to understand the threshold of "entering the Tao", and very few people reach the realm of Taoism at such a young age. Furthermore, if the body of the ascetic is intact, his appearance will usually appear as that of a young adult. If he is too weak, he will be unable to support the huge vitality required by his body, and he will appear as a child or old age.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Wei Changsong, there should have been a boy passing by here, but he is not the person we are looking for." A woman with narrow eyebrows replied. Her sacrificial vessel was a small lamp, which seemed to be something luminous and hidden. effect.

Wei Changsong thought to himself, where did this boy come from in the barren mountains? He couldn't possibly be the witch in disguise. He asked uncertainly: "Zeng Lin'er, are you sure it's a boy?"

"I'm sure it's a boy, or a chubby little Taoist priest." The woman was not annoyed and answered seriously.

Wei Changsong stopped and asked, "Are there any sects nearby?"

The others in the team were silent and stopped with him.

There is a little Taoist priest in this barren mountain, so there should probably be a cultivator sect nearby. If there was a sect nearby, it would be inconvenient for them to search at will. Lu Tiantan acted in a gentle manner, no better than the Hundred Thousand Mountains that never left any survivors wherever they passed.

After hearing this, Zeng Lin'er quickly used her skills to investigate. The light in her hand went out, and suddenly there was a soft cracking sound.

"There was an ancient sect called the Earth Fire Sect." She blew out the lamp and replied.

There are many techniques for calculating heavenly secrets mastered by ascetics in this world, and each one has its own characteristics. Yun Qing's Heavenly Book belongs to the omniscient type and understands all things. Some fortune-telling techniques can only predict fortune, while others can only predict disaster. However, the common point is that most of the techniques for calculating heavenly secrets require the support of some special magic weapons, and they are not accurate every time and have great limitations.

Obviously this Zeng Lin'er was the same as Yun Qing. They both thought that there was an ancient sect here, but they didn't expect that this sect had already declined to this point.

"Let's go and have a look." After thinking about it, Wei Changsong decided to act cautiously and go to the Earth Fire Sect to explore first. Maybe with their help, this mission would be much easier.

The group of people walked towards the main entrance of Dihuo Gate from the southeast. At this time, Yun Qing and the others were still chatting with the Taoist priest with the beautiful beard, unaware that the danger was approaching. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

"Two fellow Taoists, stay here. I also have something to ask of you!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing the Dihuo Master saying something to save people, Yun Qing had no choice but to stop and look back.

Master Dihuo thought that this junior should be polite no matter what, "As far as the Taoist priest is concerned, we will do our best wherever we can help." However, Yun Qing gave him a lukewarm word!

"..." He held his breath and was silent for a while, then managed to calm down and said, "This matter is also unfortunate for the sect..."

"In that case, it's inconvenient for us to intervene. Goodbye, Taoist priest." Yun Qing interrupted him and turned to leave.

Yun Qing had a bad feeling in her heart, and she didn't want to get entangled with this bumbling old Taoist priest here.

"Wait a minute!" Master Dihuo's voice suddenly became louder, and it looked like he was very angry with Yun Qing.

"Oh, it seems that the Taoist Master wants to force us to stay?" Yun Qing suddenly laughed. Zheng Zhenzhen shuddered beside her. She thought Yun Qing's smileless smile was terrifying.

Master Dihuo was also frightened. He shook his head and said with a forced smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much. I really want to ask you two for something. I think this matter will be of great benefit to you two."

"The Taoist boy who took care of the medicine garden for me today, Qingyuan, returned to his secular life and went home. From now on, there will be no one to take care of the medicine garden. I think it is better to put all the treasures saved by these seniors into the sect warehouse for safekeeping. "

"You can go get it yourself, but it's inappropriate to ask us outsiders to do it." Yun Qing frowned.

"The poor Taoist is looking at the furnace of elixirs and can't get rid of it. There is no Taoist boy who can help at the moment. I think some of them are reliable people. If they are willing to go, I can find some talents. I give these treasures to you two, these are treasures saved by our seniors!"

Yun Qing couldn't stand the face of Master Dihuo more and more, but he said gently: "Then I have to thank the Taoist Priest."

Master Dihuo heard her tone as if she had agreed, so he hurriedly wrote the specific location of the back yam garden on a jade slip and handed it to Yun Qing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Master Dihuo watched them walk out of the alchemy room with a smile.

Although the Earth Fire Sect has declined, at least the blessed land Cave Heaven left behind by our predecessors is still there. The Earth Fire Gate looks quite impressive. There are all kinds of fires everywhere, and the fires are often filled with rich spiritual energy. However, there are not many trees here. Probably because of the strong earth fire aura, many plants cannot grow.

Yun Qing, Zheng Zhenzhen, and Amang walked along the sect's inner trail toward the back mountain to the northwest.

"Do you really want to help him collect the herbs?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked doubtfully. Yun Qing has almost no need for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. She pursues the ultimate purity, so she tries not to come into contact with anything that may cause the spiritual energy to be mixed. If it weren't for this paranoid pursuit, Zheng Zhenzhen could have given her a few prescriptions to recuperate her soul, and she wouldn't have gone so far to find the secret method of Lao Shizi's soul.

"Do you need it?" Yun Qing asked.

Zheng Zhenzhen said quickly: "No, no, of course I won't need it."

"Then let's go down the mountain and head to the northwest prairie." Yun Qing nodded, "The back door is here."

"But..." Zheng Zhenzhen originally wanted to say that she had already agreed, so how could she not go, but after thinking about it carefully, Yun Qing did not give a clear reply to the Dihuo Master.

"You think it's a pity?" Yun Qing walked out of the sect-protecting formation, and the jade slip given to her by Master Dihuo glowed faintly, protecting several people.

"It's not..." Zheng Zhenzhen has never seen any real fairy treasures in her life. Although she doesn't covet the things here, she is somewhat curious.

"The treasures of heaven, materials and earth are ultimately foreign objects. Could it help you realize the Tao? Could it protect you from immortality?" Yun Qing shook his head and sighed, "Although they all have great benefits, you must know that everything has a cause and effect. Where do you start from? Whatever you take away without any effort, God will be able to get back from you without any effort in the future."

"Cause and effect...?" Zheng Zhenzhen seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

"A few!! A few... seniors!!" Just as she was immersed in thinking about the meaning of these words, a hurried voice chased them from behind.

Yun Qing turned around and saw Qingchen, the little Taoist boy who led them up the mountain, running and sweating profusely behind them.

"You guys, please leave quickly! Don't go to that medicine garden!"

"What's wrong, why are you in such a hurry?" Zheng Zhenzhen's train of thought was interrupted, but when he saw the child, he looked really flustered and couldn't bear to scold him.

When Yun Qing saw him, his expression suddenly changed: "Let's go, Lu Tiantan is catching up with us!"

The little Taoist boy looked at Yun Qing with an expression of shock and fear: "Leaving the Temple of Heaven? Yes, yes. Someone at the mountain gate in front asked to see our sect leader, saying they wanted to search the mountain or something, but I stopped them. These people Could it be that I’m here to find you?”

After hearing Yun Qing's words, Zheng Zhenzhen thought that the little Taoist boy was here to tip them off, but it didn't sound like what he meant.

"Why did you come to us?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked puzzled.

Only then did the little Taoist boy Qingchen remember the purpose of his visit. He slapped his forehead: "You can't go to that medicine garden! I heard Master said that there are companion monsters left by senior masters in the medicine garden. They are very powerful. If you are disturbed, It will definitely not go well!"

"Thank you, Taoist Master." Yun Qing nodded.

The simple Zheng Zhenzhen also understood the good plan of the Earth Fire Master at this time: "Your master is going to use us to feed this monster. Is he here to collect the elixir?"

Qingchen's face immediately turned red: "No, no, Master must have thought that you are powerful... I, I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I left the group of people who wanted to worship the mountain in front of me and came to find you..."

"No matter what, I still have to thank the Taoist Priest." Yun Qing saluted him. The Book of Heaven is not omnipotent. If the little Taoist priest hadn't ran over stupidly, she wouldn't have known that Lu Tiantan had caught up. Now, she can even use this thread of cause and effect to detect the specific situation of the soldiers pursuing the Temple of Heaven.

"No, no need." Qingchen was very nervous. He had never violated his master's wishes. This time he came to see them as an exception. What's more, he just learned that these people are being hunted by large sects such as Lu Tiantan.

"I don't think you are bad people..." Qingchen wanted to say something, but his expression immediately changed. It seemed that his master was summoning him.

"I have remembered the little Taoist Master's thoughts." Yun Qing knew that time was running out, so she stretched out a finger, a thin black flame emerged from the fingertip, and then gently pointed it on Qingchen's forehead.

"If I gain Taoism in the future, this mark will definitely be beneficial to my growth."

These words were still echoing in Qingchen's ears, but those people had disappeared. He touched his forehead in a daze, and there was nothing there.

"If we go northwest, will the Temple of Heaven catch up with us?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked Yun Qing as he ran.

Seeing that she was having a hard time running, Yun Qing frowned and said, "You can't keep up if you run too fast... You don't know how to make yourself light?"

Zheng Zhenzhen had never studied Taoism at all. She shook her head, her long hair in a mess.

"Can you understand how to control the wind by relying on the wind? Think about walking on the wind, with nothing to rely on, using the Kunshan Jade Broken Jue to operate the Taixu Wind Jade Technique, and clear your mind of distracting thoughts..." Yun Qing murmured as he flew past the medicine garden. Chengxian teaches Zheng Zhenzhen.

Zheng Zhenzhen felt the biting mountain wind blowing against his cheeks, and his whole body felt light and airy as he ran so fast.

"Well done. As long as I don't get caught by them head-on, I have a way to escape." Yun Qing praised, and also accelerated his speed and ran towards the northwest.

Although she can use the heavenly book to cover up the calculations of heavenly secrets, she cannot avoid the real method of reconnaissance, nor can she avoid head-on encounters. Therefore, we can only take advantage of the fact that the law enforcement officers in the Temple of Heaven are trapped by the Earthly Fire Gate and quickly leave the Jueming Mountain.

Just as she was thinking this, a strong demonic aura suddenly came from behind her.

Yun Qing felt something was not good, and with a quick glance, countless vine branches suddenly appeared in the medicine garden behind him, and they rushed towards the group of them with their teeth and claws.
