At the foot of the mountain to the southeast of Mount Cassia, a group of Lutian Temple disciples wearing white sacrificial attire walked among the thickly piled corpses of fallen leaves.
These disciples were all holding sacrificial vessels, their expressions were stern, and they were a bit more hostile 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 Great Sacred Grounds are generally composed of seniors or direct disciples who have entered the Tao. They are powerful and experienced, and they are generally sent to perform some rather severe tasks. It is extremely rare for a team of ten people like this time to hunt and kill a girl who has not even entered the Dao.
But this is enough to show that the national teacher is afraid of this person.
"Is this area inhabited?" The leader looked like a young man, but his actual age was probably far older than that. After all, it takes many people decades or hundreds of years to penetrate the hurdle of "entering Taoism", and very few people enter the realm of Taoism at such a young age. Furthermore, if the ascetic's body is intact, the appearance of the age is usually young and middle-aged. If it is too weak, it will not be able to support the huge vitality required by the body, and it will appear as a child or old age.
"Brother Wei Changsong, there should have been a boy passing by here, but it's not the one we're looking for." A woman with narrow eyebrows replied, her sacrificial vessel was a small lamp, which seemed to have something bright and hidden effect.
Wei Changsong thought to himself, where did the boy come from in the barren mountains? Maybe it was the witch in disguise, so he asked uncertainly, "Zeng Lin'er, are you sure it's a boy?"
"I'm sure it's a boy, and a fat little Taoist priest." The woman was not annoyed, and answered seriously.
Wei Changsong stopped in his tracks: "Are there any sects around here?"
The rest of the team were silent and stopped following him.
There is a little Taoist priest in this barren mountain, and there should probably be a cultivator sect nearby. If there is a sect nearby, it would be inconvenient for them to search at random. The behavior of the Temple of Heaven is considered gentle, no more than the place where the 100,000 mountains pass by and never leaves a living person.
After hearing this, Zeng Lin'er hurriedly searched, the light in her hand was flickering, and suddenly there was a soft cracking sound.
"There is an ancient sect called Earth Fire Sect." She blew out the lamp and replied.
There are many methods of calculating heavenly secrets mastered by ascetics in this world, each of which has its own characteristics. Yun Qing's Tianshu belongs to the omniscient type, knowing everything. Some calculus techniques can only predict blessings, and others can only predict disasters. However, the common point is that most of the techniques for calculating the secrets of heaven need the support of some special magic weapons, and they are not accurate every time, and have great limitations.
Obviously this Zeng Lin'er is the same as Yun Qing, they all figured that there was an ancient sect here, but they didn't expect this sect to have fallen to this point.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look." After thinking about it, Wei Changsong decided to act cautiously and go to this Earth Fire Sect first to investigate, maybe with their help, this task will be much easier.
A group of people walked towards the main entrance of Dihuomen from the southeast. At this time, Yun Qing and the others were still chatting with the beautiful bearded Taoist priest, not knowing that danger was approaching.
※※※
"Two fellow daoists stay behind, I have something to ask!"
"What's the matter?" Yun Qing had no choice but to stop and turn her head when seeing that Dahuo Daoist made a sound to keep people away.
Master Dihuo thought that this junior should be polite no matter what, "Where the Taoist leader is, we will do our best where it can be helpful", but Yun Qing threw 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 a misfortune for the sect..."
"Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for us to intervene. Goodbye, Daoist." Yun Qing interrupted him and turned to leave.
Yun Qing had a bad premonition in her heart, and she didn't want to get entangled with this bumbling old Taoist here.
"Wait!" The real person Dihuo's voice suddenly rose, and it seemed that Yun Qing was very angry.
"Oh, it seems that the Taoist chief wants to force us to stay?" Yun Qing suddenly laughed. Zheng Zhenzhen beside her shuddered, she felt that Yun Qing's smile without a smile was terrible.
Daoist Daoist was also shivering, he shook his head and forced a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you are worrying too much, I really want to ask the two of you for something, and it will be of great benefit to you two."
"The Taoist boy Qingyuan who took care of the medicine garden for me today returned home and left the medicine garden. From now on, there will be no one to take care of it. I think it's better to put all the treasures saved by these seniors into the sect warehouse for safekeeping. "
"You can get it yourself, but it's wrong to ask us outsiders to do it." Yun Qing frowned.
"Pindao is seeing that this furnace of pills can't be drawn away, and there is no Taoist boy who can help me right now. I think a few of them are also reliable people. If a few of them are willing to go, I can spare some talents Treasures to the two of you, these are all treasures saved by the seniors of this sect!"
Yun Qing became more and more displeased with the face of the Daoist Daoist, but said softly: "Then I should thank the Taoist priest."
Real person Dihuo heard her tone as if she agreed, so he hastily expanded the specific location of Houshan Medicine Garden in the jade slips and handed it to Yun Qing.
"Trouble, trouble!"
Dahuo Daoist watched them walk out of the alchemy room with a smile.
Although the Earth Fire Sect has fallen, at least the blessed land and caves left by the predecessors are still there. The inside of the fire door here looks quite imposing, with various kinds of fire everywhere, and the fire contains a lot of rich aura. However, there are not many trees here, probably due to the strong aura of Earth Fire, many plants cannot grow.
Yun Qing, Zheng Zhenzhen, and Aman walked along the Zongnei trail to the back mountain in the northwest.
"Are you really going to help him collect that herb?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked doubtfully. Yun Qing has almost no need for heaven, material and earth treasures. She pursues an extreme purity, so she tries not to touch anything that may cause aura to be mixed. If it weren't for this kind of paranoid pursuit, Zheng Zhenzhen could still prescribe some prescriptions for her to take care of her soul, so she wouldn't have to go so far to find some secret method of Lao Shizi's soul.
"Do you need it?" Yun Qing asked back.
Zheng Zhenzhen quickly said: "No, no, of course I don't need it."
"Then let's go down the mountain and go to the northwest prairie." Yun Qing nodded, "The back door is here."
"But..." Zheng Zhenzhen wanted to say that she had already agreed, how could she not go, but after thinking about it carefully, Yun Qing really hadn't given the real person Dihuo a clear answer.
"Do you think it's a pity?" Yun Qing walked out of the protective array, and the jade slip given to her by Daoist Earth Fire emitted a faint glow, protecting several people inside.
"It's not..." Zheng Zhenzhen has never seen any real fairy treasures in her life. Although she doesn't covet the things inside, she is somewhat curious.
"Treasures of heaven, material and earth are foreign objects. It may help you realize the Tao? It may keep you alive?" Yun Qing shook her head and sighed, "Although they all have great benefits, you must know that everything has a cause and effect. From here If you take something away without any effort, Tiandao will also be able to take something back from you without any effort in the future."
"Cause and effect...?" Zheng Zhenzhen seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.
"How many!! How many... Seniors!!" Just as she was pondering the deep meaning of these words, a hurried voice chased after them.
When Yun Qing turned her head, she saw in her mind that the little boy Qingchen who led them up the mountain was running behind them sweating profusely.
"You, you go away! Don't go to that medicine garden!"
"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?" Zheng Zhenzhen's thoughts were interrupted, but when he saw the child, he really looked flustered and couldn't help scolding him.
Seeing him, Yun Qing's face suddenly changed: "Go, Lu Tiantan is catching up!"
The little Taoist boy looked at Yun Qing with a look of surprise and fear: "Tiantan? Yes, yes, someone at the mountain gate in front of us begged to see our sect master, and said he wanted to search the mountain or something, but I stopped him. These people Could it be that he came to look for you?"
After hearing Yun Qing's words, Zheng Zhenzhen thought that Xiao Daotong was here to inform them, but it didn't sound like what he meant.
"Why did you come to us?" Zheng Zhenzhen was puzzled.
Only then did Xiaodao Tong Qingchen remember his reason for coming, and he slapped his head: "The medicine garden is not allowed! I heard from Master that there are companion monsters left by senior experts in the medicine garden, which are very powerful. If you disturb It's going to be hard to please!"
"Thank you for the long trail." Yun Qing nodded.
As simple as Zheng Zhenzhen was at this time, he also understood the good plan of the Daoist Dihuo: "Accordingly, your master is going to feed this monster with us, and he came to collect the elixir?"
Qing Chen's face turned red immediately: "No, no, Master must think that you are powerful... I, I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I left behind the group of people who wanted to worship the mountain and came to find you..."
"No matter what, I still have to thank Xiao Daoist." Yun Qing saluted him. Tianshu is not omnipotent, if not for the little Taoist priest running over foolishly, she would not have known that Lu Tiantan had caught up. Now, she can even use this line of cause and effect to detect the specific situation of the chasing soldiers in the Tiantan Temple.
"No, no need." Qingchen was very nervous, he had never violated the meaning of his master, and this time he came to find them was an exception. What's more, he just learned that these people are being hunted down by such a big sect as Lu Tiantan.
"I don't think you are bad people..." Qingchen wanted to say something, but his face changed immediately, it seemed that his master was summoning him.
"I will remember the heart of the little Daoist." Yun Qing knew that time was running out, she stretched out a finger, and a slender black flame emerged from the fingertip, and then lightly pointed on Qingchen's forehead.
"If I attain Taoism in the future, this imprint must be beneficial to Xiaodao's growth."
These words are still echoing in Qingchen's ears, but those few people have disappeared. He touched his forehead in a trance, and there was nothing there.
"Let's go northwest, will Lu Tiantan catch up?" Zheng Zhenzhen asked Yun Qing while running.
Seeing her running hard, Yun Qing frowned and said, "If you run fast, you won't be able to keep up...you don't know how to make light of yourself?"
Zheng Zhen hadn't learned many scriptures and Taoism at all, she shook her head, her long hair was in a mess.
"Can you understand by relying on the wind to control the wind? Thinking of walking against the wind, with no body to rely on, using the Kunshan Jade Fragmentation Art to run the Taixu Wind Jade Art, clearing away distracting thoughts..." Yun Qing condensed her voice as she flew past the medicine garden Chengxian taught Zheng Zhenzhen.
Zheng Zhenzhen felt the bitter mountain wind blowing over his cheeks, and he felt light and light throughout his fast running.
"It's a good job. As long as I don't get caught by them head-on, I can escape." Yun Qing sighed, and also speeded up and ran towards the northwest.
Although she can use the scriptures to cover up the calculations of the heavenly secrets, she can't avoid the real way of reconnaissance, and she can't avoid face-to-face encounters. Therefore, we can only take advantage of the fact that those law enforcement officers in the Temple of Heaven are caught by the Earth Fire Gate, and quickly leave the Jueming Mountain.
Just as she was thinking this way, a strong evil spirit suddenly came from behind her.
Yun Qing didn't feel well, and with a sweep of his mind, countless vines and branches suddenly appeared from the medicine garden behind him, rushing towards them with claws and claws.
