You must know that the teleportation array in this world does not belong to a certain person or a certain sect, but is the result of the joint efforts of the monks in this world and belongs to everyone! The monks in this world are still qualified to be conferred, but the two major sects do this, which is a bit too domineering and overbearing.
However, who can say that the two major sects are powerful? Although there are many masters in this world, they are not afraid of these people together. But the monks in this world are all scattered, and it is impossible for them to work together to resist foreign enemies. So he could only swallow his anger and let the Xuanji Dao Sect and the Sky Splitting Sword Sect seal the teleportation array.
Song Zhong and Han Bing'er had no choice but to find a cave to stay in on Zhongli Island. The owner of this cave is called Master Xuan Yuan. He is a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. He has been cultivating here for hundreds of years. He originally planned to attack distractions, but unfortunately he never made any progress.
As a casual cultivator with no foundation, it is indeed much more difficult than those of the big sects on the road to attack high-level cultivators. The difference between having a master's guidance and not having a master's guidance is definitely not that big.
When Song Zhong and Han Bing'er came here a few years ago, they happened to meet the sad-faced Master Xuan Yuan. At that time, his life span was short and he was about to die, but they could not get the Yuanying monk to significantly increase his life span. He couldn't help but wait for death, almost worrying him to death!
At this time, he met Song Zhong and Han Bing'er. At that time, Song Zhong was still a golden elixir monk, but he was worth a lot of money, and those magic weapons showed some extraordinary origins. After all, it is a treasure refined by the Xuanji Dao Sect, so it is naturally much more powerful than the same-level treasures made by ordinary casual cultivators.
Therefore, Master Xuanyuan did not despise Song Zhong because of his lack of strength. Instead, he patiently made friends with Song Zhong and told him many things in this world, so that Song Zhong would be better in the future. Seclusion becomes extremely convenient.
And Song Zhong also learned from Master Xuan Yuan's unintentional words that he would continue to increase the longevity elixir, and immediately understood that he wanted to get it from himself. Song Zhong was arrogant by nature and naturally did not want to owe such a huge favor in vain, so he gave him a spiritual elixir made from flat peaches, half-sold and half-gifted, which was enough to increase his life span by 200 years.
Master Xuan Yuan is naturally very grateful for this. Maybe these 200 years will allow him to break through distractions and greatly increase his longevity. It can be said that Song Zhong saved his life. Since then, the relationship between Master Xuan Yuan and Song Zhong has become extremely close.
Now that the teleportation array was sealed, Song Zhong and Han Bing'er could not escape and did not dare to go back. In desperation, they came to Master Xuan Yuan's cave.
It is also worth mentioning that the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Song Zhong deliberately hid in Zhongli Island, a place where the two major sects were surrounded by informants. In fact, there were safety considerations.
Master Xuan Yuan's cave is located on a hill with beautiful scenery. It is rich in spiritual energy and has pleasant scenery, making it very suitable for silent cultivation.
Master Xuan Yuan did not accept a disciple, so he was the only one in his cave. After Song Zhong and Han Bing'er came to the door, they lightly played a magic talisman, which quickly alerted Master Xuan Yuan, who immediately came out to greet them personally.
Master Xuan Yuan is a tall old man with a silver beard on his face. He wears a dark Taoist robe all year round. After seeing Song Zhong and Han Bing'er, Master Xuan Yuan immediately laughed and said: "Oh my, I didn't expect it to be you and your virtuous couple. It's really disappointing to welcome you from afar. I originally wanted to find you, but unexpectedly It’s a coincidence that you guys came here first!”
"Haha, we were planning to go out for fun, but unexpectedly the teleportation array was blocked. Since we can't leave, we remembered that my brother is here!" Song Zhong said with a smile.
"Haha, that's it. I've also heard about this. I was originally very annoyed by the two major sects' domineering behavior, but since they forced you to come to me, I don't care about it and I have to thank them. That!" Master Xuan Yuan smiled boldly.
When Song Zhong and Han Bing'er heard this, they could only smile bitterly.
Then Master Xuan Yuan invited Song Zhong and Han Bing'er inside, made a pot of fragrant tea himself, and then said with some hesitation: "I can see that the temperament of my little brother has changed. There is a faint sign of great success. It is clear that This is a sign of a significant increase in mana, could it be that he has been promoted to Nascent Soul?"
When Song Zhong came here, he was in the realm of Golden Elixir Dzogchen. Now that he has improved again, he can only be a Yuanying monk.
Song Zhong knew that he couldn't deceive these masters, so he didn't deny it. He nodded frankly and said with a smile: "Good luck, I finally advanced half a year ago!"
The reason why Song Zhong mentioned the time earlier was because the two major sects must have known that he was struck by lightning when he was promoted. If they knew that he had just been promoted, it might cause trouble. Although Master Xuan Yuan is trustworthy and not the kind of person who talks too much, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
"Oh my, congratulations brother!" Master Xuan Yuan immediately congratulated Song Zhong sincerely.
Song Zhong hurriedly said some polite words, and then asked: "By the way, I just said that I have something to come to us for. I wonder what it is?"
"Hey, talking about this, it's a huge opportunity!" Master Xuan Yuan said with excitement.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Song Zhong immediately asked with great interest: "But I don't know what the opportunity is?"
"It's a long story, I have to tell you slowly!" After Master Xuan Yuan finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and then said unhurriedly: "Little brother, do you know Taoist Thunder? title?"
"Taoist Thunder?" Song Zhong was confused when he heard this, so he turned to look at Han Bing'er, but she also shook her head, indicating that she had no idea.
In desperation, Song Zhong could only smile bitterly and said: "I am not very knowledgeable, so I have never heard of this senior's name!"
"Haha, it's not surprising. Taoist Thunder is a figure who lived tens of thousands of years ago. As a casual cultivator, he advanced to the Mahayana realm. With his earth-shattering thunder-type magic weapon, he can defeat all major sects and dare not use them. He is me You are a role model for generations of casual cultivators!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh, there is such a person!" Song Zhong's eyes lit up after hearing this. After all, how similar is his current behavior to this senior
"The world of cultivation is too big, and there aren't any stunning figures? Taoist Lei Ting is just one of the more famous ones in the era!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a smile.
After Song Zhong heard this, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the opportunity you just mentioned has something to do with Taoist Taoist Thunder?"
"Not bad!" Master Xuan Yuan said proudly: "I have a life-and-death friend who accidentally got a jade talisman, which records the location of a cave where Taoist Lei Dao practiced in his early years! Although there are definitely not many good things in it, But anything left by a figure like Taoist Thunder is extraordinary and enough for us to enjoy endlessly!"
"Indeed!" Song Zhong nodded and agreed.
But at this moment, Han Bing'er suddenly interrupted: "Brother, since you already have the exact information, why don't you go and get the treasure yourself?"
Regarding Han Bing'er, Master Xuanyuan didn't dare to neglect her at all. In his understanding, Song Zhong was actually a henpecked person, and no matter what the two of them did, it was actually Han Bing'er's decision. If he can't convince her, his plan will definitely not come true.
So Master Xuan Yuan said to Han Bing'er politely: "My brother and sister don't know something. The map itself is blurry, and the place we are in is a bit dangerous. Although the two of us are not bad in strength, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. That’s why I want to ask you to participate in this matter!”
After hearing this, Song Zhong and Han Bing'er immediately looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Obviously, this matter is not as simple as Master Xuan Yuan said. His friend must also be a Nascent Soul master. If two such strong masters can't handle it, Song Zhong and Han Bing'er, two Nascent Soul beginners and Jindan level Monk, it won't be of much use if you go. If it has to be said to have a role, I'm afraid it can only be cannon fodder.
Song Zhong and Han Bing'er also spent some time outside, especially in this world, and made many casual cultivator friends. Through their oral accounts, the two finally had a very profound understanding of the darkness in the world of cultivation. know. Naturally, I immediately suspected Master Xuanyuan's motives.
Master Xuan Yuan saw that Song Zhong and Han Bing'er were still silent, and he immediately realized that they were doubting him. He hurriedly smiled bitterly and said: "I said, do you suspect that I intend to take advantage of you?"
"No, no!" Song Zhong and Han Bing'er immediately smiled together.
Although they said so, their looks clearly showed their attitude.
Master Xuanyuan naturally knew what Song Zhong and the two were thinking, and he also knew that this was no wonder, so he just smiled bitterly, and then explained: "You don't have to deal with me, I know everything! In fact, I understand you very well. Suspicion, such a mindless invitation, even if it were me, I would be suspicious! But this time, I have to say that you are too worried. There are two reasons why I invited you. The first It’s because I owe you a favor and I haven’t been able to repay it, so I feel bad about it, so I want to take this opportunity to repay this favor!”
"As for the second reason, it's because we really need your participation!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a smile: "Because Taoist Thunder's cave is built on the eternal ice field, where the wind is overflowing and the cold air is biting. Foundation-building monks would freeze to death if they went in! My friends and I are both fire-type monks, and our strength was seriously affected in that environment. But you, one of the water type and the other of the ice type, can actually be there. Like a fish in water! That’s why I thought of you!”
"Is that so?" Song Zhong frowned, then turned to look at Han Bing'er, as if asking for instructions at any time. This fully demonstrated his weak position. Master Xuan Yuan, who was watching on the side, kept smiling bitterly and said to himself, you are now a Nascent Soul monk, why are you still afraid of the old woman
Han Bing'er didn't pay attention to this. She just frowned and thought for a while, and then asked softly: "Excuse me, brother, how many people are going this time?"
"No more, no more. Counting you, there are only five of us in total. I asked you two for help, and my friend also found another person. Together we have enough!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a smile.
"Then if you get something, how should you distribute it?" Han Bing'er continued to ask.
"We have already thought about this. When we get something, we will divide it into four parts. You virtuous couple are less powerful after all, so you can count them as one part. How about it?" Master Xuan Yuan said hurriedly.
In fact, this distribution method is quite fair. After all, everyone is a master of Yuanying Dzogchen or later stages. The combined effects of monks in the early stage of Yuanying and the middle stage of Jindan may not be as big as others. But considering the local environment and the skills of Song and Zhong, they deserved a share.
So Han Bing'er nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I have no doubts about this distribution method!"
"Ah, so the Xian couple have agreed?" Master Xuan Yuan immediately said in surprise.
"Haha, brother, you have already spoken, how dare we disobey!" Han Bing'er hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Although he knew that Han Bing'er didn't mean what he said, Master Xuan Yuan still laughed and said, "That's so good! It's so good!"
However, Song Zhong suddenly interrupted: "Brother, this plan is good, but now we are stuck in this world and can't go anywhere. What should we do?"
"It doesn't matter!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a smile: "The treasure can't escape anyway. The two sects can't block this place for hundreds of years, right? After they catch Song Zhong, it won't be too late for us to leave. !”
"You're right!" Song Zhong nodded seriously, and then said: "It's just that Song Zhong is extremely cunning. The two major sects have been chasing him for so many years but have not caught him. Who knows if they can catch him this time? ?”
"That's right, maybe Song Zhong has escaped long ago! It's ridiculous that those guys are still looking around here!" Han Bing'er also laughed.
When Master Xuan Yuan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Song Zhong must have not escaped yet!"
"Huh?" After Song Zhong heard this, he was immediately surprised in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm at all. He just pretended not to care and asked: "How did I know?"
"Brother, you live far away and some things are unclear. It is said that after the two major sects got the news that Song Zhong was here, they immediately sent out armies to catch him. After they came here, the first thing they did was to send dozens of The master blocked the teleportation array. As a result, all the people from the two major sects were wiped out. No need to ask, you knew that it was Song Zhong who did it. However, the monks here were not attacked, and the teleportation array was always blocked. It can be seen from this that, This Song Zhong must still be in this world and has not escaped. It is precisely because of this that the two major sects will desperately seal the teleportation array and will not let anyone out until they catch Song Zhong." Master Yuan explained.
Song Zhong and Han Bing'er felt depressed after hearing this. They never expected that the two major sects would be so impeccable in their work. They blocked Song Zhong's escape route before seeing him. As a result, Song Zhongke is in some trouble. Although this time is large, most of it is ocean. Although there are many spiritual islands, they cannot withstand the massive manpower search of the two major sects. I believe that if they don't listen, they might be able to force Song Zhong and Han Bing'er out!
Although Song Zhong and Han Bing'er are very anxious, they are unable to change anything now. They can only stay with Master Xuan Yuan for the time being and quietly watch the next changes. Fortunately, they have come out with this identity several times over the years, and Master Xuan Yuan, a local, provides cover, so the chance of exposure is really not that big! This is one of the reasons why they can feel at ease.
…
In the next few days, the Xuanji Dao Sect and the Sky Splitting Sword Sect frantically sent out a large number of masters to search for Song Zhong's whereabouts. Because the loss this time was so huge, even the real top leaders of the two major sects were alarmed, and each sent a super master in the integration stage to take charge of this world.
In order to hunt down two golden elixir disciples, they actually dispatched great monks at the combined level. It can be said that this time, no matter the outcome, the two major sects will be left with an incompetent supporter. This will be a shame!
The two major sects also know this, but unfortunately they have nothing to do. With such a powerful lineup lost, who knows what terrible trump card Song Zhong has? If he doesn't send experts to kill Song Zhong, he will definitely become a serious problem for the two sects in the future. Therefore, they would rather fight to be embarrassed than to accomplish the result in one battle!
With two such powerful masters sitting in charge, the disciples of the two major sects were naturally confident. Coupled with the arrogance cultivated by the sects in them, these guys became extremely arrogant.
Under the guise of arresting Song Zhong, he kept breaking into other people's caves or territories, and when he saw rare treasures, he took advantage of them. Most of the monks dared to be angry with them but did not dare to speak out. Occasionally, a few unconvinced guys were beaten to death by masters from the two major sects.
Such bloody methods naturally shocked the monks in this world, making them extremely careful when acting. No one dared to stop these bandit-like guys anymore.
As a result, those disciples became unscrupulous. Constantly harassing the monks in this world. Even Master Xuan Yuan's cave was broken into three times. A thousand-year-old spiritual tree raised in his cave was forcibly taken away by a distracting monk from the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, saying that it was a magic weapon that he had made and given to him. Disciples defend themselves! Master Xuanyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If Song Zhong and Han Bing'er hadn't held him back, he might have fought these guys to the death.
However, even though tens of thousands of monks from the two major sects almost turned this world upside down, they still could not find Song Zhong right under their noses.
As time went by, the two major sects became more and more impatient. The higher-ups pushed their subordinates, and their subordinates harassed the monks here, thus forming a vicious cycle. In the end, there was even an incident where suspects were tortured to extract confessions. For a time, the monks in this world were in panic all day long, and their dissatisfaction gradually turned into anger!
