Damn it, he was thinking of killing me and Elder Ma just now, but now his attitude has changed. It’s really confusing.
I frowned and stared at the old man and his granddaughter, the elf girl Zi Ling.
Seeing me staring at him, the old man smiled awkwardly, then scolded the elf girl Zi Ling beside him: "Zi Ling, go and apologize to the two monks quickly."
The elf girl Zi Ling had no choice but to obey and walked past the old man shyly.
She bit her lip, turned towards us, and said unhappily, "I'm sorry, I was reckless before. I shouldn't have acted rashly against you."
I glanced at the elf girl and snorted.
I was thinking of dealing with her, but now it seems that’s not necessary.
I coughed twice pretendingly and ignored the elf girl Zi Ling. I asked the old man, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
The old man asked with a smile: "You two, I want to know how you get the spiritual energy? It looks very rich, it should not be absorbed from the spiritual stone. Are you cultivators from ancient times?"
"After all, the spiritual energy of the outside world has disappeared, and humans in the outside world cannot practice. Only the cultivators of the ancient times can have such a rich spiritual energy blessing on their bodies."
It turns out that this old man thought we were ascetics from ancient times. But even if we were ascetics from ancient times, we cannot absorb the spiritual energy if it doesn’t exist.
After thinking for a while, I told the truth: "Senior, you misunderstood. We are not ascetics from ancient times. We are just humans from the outside world, ordinary ascetics."
"An ordinary ascetic?"
The old man's expression changed for a moment, but he soon realized the problem.
His breathing became rapid, and he asked me nervously: "So, you... you can absorb spiritual energy from the air?"
I shook my head first, then nodded.
Seeing me shaking my head and nodding, the old man became even more confused.
The elf girl muttered unhappily, "Then how did you get the spiritual energy in your body? You can't tell us that you were born with such a strong spiritual energy in your body."
I glared at the elf girl.
The elf girl knew how powerful I was, so she quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing her like a frightened rabbit, I felt funny in my heart.
The old man also heard what his granddaughter Zi Ling said, and hurriedly scolded her: "Zi Ling, don't be rude to the two gentlemen."
The elf girl Zi Ling lowered her head and muttered, "I know, Grandpa."
The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Where did the spiritual energy of those two people come from?"
I didn't shy away from the question and said directly, "Senior, let's not talk about the spiritual energy issue for now. What I can tell you is that we have mastered the method of absorbing spiritual energy. However, spiritual energy is not absorbed directly from the air."
My words made the old man tremble.
The old man took a step forward and immediately grabbed my hand.
"Hurry, hurry, little brother, follow me quickly, I will take you to a place."
The old man looked anxious.
I unhappily broke free from the old man's hand and asked in a deep voice, "Where are we going?"
The old man knew he was being rude, so he quickly apologized and explained, "It's like this, you two gentlemen don't know, our elf king Poyi couldn't improve her cultivation because she had no spiritual energy to absorb."
"It is difficult to improve one's cultivation, which means that for our ancient race, the life span is short."
"And Chief Poyi's health has been deteriorating recently. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer. If you two can give her some of the pure spiritual energy in your bodies, her condition will definitely be much better. And if you can teach her the method of absorbing spiritual energy, you will be the greatest benefactor of our elves."
Then the old man knelt down and begged, "I hope you two can save our clan leader.
Otherwise, without her leadership, our elves will fall apart."
The elves behind the old men, including the elf girl Zi Ling, also knelt on the ground, begging us.
It’s just a clan leader, how come without him, the elves would fall apart
This made me wonder.
"Master, what do you think..." Elder Ma asked for my opinion.
I thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, now you can take us there."
The old man's face became more and more joyful, and he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and prepare the flying carpet. We will take the two adults to the Elf Temple now."
Should we go directly to the Elf Temple? That would be good, saving us the trouble.
Soon, the elves' flying carpet came over.
It was a long and wide carpet, but the elves were holding it up on all sides.
"You two, please get on the flying carpet."
I didn't expect it to be the legendary flying carpet. It's amazing.
Elder Ma, the old man and I sat on the flying carpet. The elves flapped their wings, flew up, and dragged the flying carpet, taking us towards the Elf Temple.
On the way, I asked the question in my mind. How can the death of an Elf King affect the entire Elf tribe? Even if the Elf King dies of old age, there can still be other Elf tribe members to replace him.
The old man first introduced himself. His name was Mo Yun and he was an elder of the elves.
Then, he explained the current situation of the elves. Although the elves seemed to be harmonious, there were disputes in secret, and the spearheads of the disputes were aimed at the throne of the elves, that is, the position of the patriarch.
There are three elders of the elves, namely Mo Yun, Tian Qing and an elder named Du Jiaosha.
Mo Yun stood on the side of Poyi, the chieftain of the elves.
Tianqing and Dujiaosha are against the Elf King Poyi, and they both hope to become the leader of the elves.
As a result, great conflicts arose within the elves.
Now, the health of Elf King Poyi is getting worse, and the struggle is getting more intense. Especially Du Jiaosha, who relies on the fact that he has reached the level of Elf King, is thinking about competing for the position of the leader of the Elf Clan.
But Du Jiaosha had a violent personality, and many tribesmen disliked her. However, she was powerful and had many subordinates, so this made the old man Mo Yun and the current elf tribe leader Po Yi very worried.
And if I can pass on some pure spiritual energy to the Elf Queen Po Yi so that she can break through her cultivation level, then the position of the Elf Clan leader, Du Jiaosha, will be difficult to shake.
After listening for a while, I already understood what was going on.
I didn’t expect that the struggle among a small tribe of elves would be so fierce.
I thought about it and decided to first resolve the disputes among the elves. After the elves are stable, I will then obtain the fragments of the ancient elves' divine map.
Soon, the flying carpet arrived in front of the Elf Temple.
The Elf Temple is supported by a tall, thick black stone pillar with a large platform on top.
A stone palace was built on the platform. There were no stairs leading to it. This kind of construction might be a bit laborious for other tribesmen, but it was easy for the elves, who were skilled craftsmen.
And they all have wings, so flying to the elven temple is no problem for them.
Soon, the flying carpet landed in front of the Elf Temple and we went down to the platform.
Standing at the front of the platform and looking down, you can see the entire small Liujia Island.
As soon as we arrived here, the old man Mo Yun took Elder Ma and me towards the Elf Temple.
The Elf Temple was located there, like a huge stone lotus, divided into many petals, and many rooms were built on each petal.
Elder Mo Yun told me that the most central location is the residence of Poyi, the chieftain of the elves.
Soon, after twists and turns, we finally arrived at a
In front of a stone door.
There are totems of the elves painted on the stone door.
It was an image of a woman with three heads and six arms and a pair of broad wings. Each of the woman's six hands held a craftsman's tool.
Elder Mo Yun introduced that this totem represents the soul symbol of the elves, meaning that the elves are a smart and capable race.
I didn't say anything. I just saw Elder Mo Yun releasing elven energy and connecting with a ball of light above the stone gate.
Then, the stone door creaked and opened inward.
Before we entered the stone gate, more than a dozen elves came to greet us.
They said they were coming to meet us, but those tribesmen had stern looks and were carrying weapons, including bows and arrows, spears, etc.
"Hey, it's Elder Mo Yun. Why are you here suddenly?"
An elf girl from the elf tribe asked. The strength of that elf girl was slightly weaker than Mo Yun.
Mo Yun clasped his fists and said politely, "I'm bringing two cultivators to see the clan leader. Huagu, please take us in quickly. I have something urgent to report to the clan leader."
That mushroom is the close bodyguard of the elf chief, and he is here to protect the safety of chief Poyi.
"Is there an urgent matter to report to the clan leader? What urgent matter?" Hua Gu glanced at Mo Yun and asked.
At the same time, Huagu's eyes fell on me and Elder Ma. She was surprised and said, "Hey, why are there two humans here? Elder Mo Yun, what are you doing? Why did you bring people from the outside world here?"
Mo Yun hurriedly said: "Huagu, don't misunderstand me, I don't mean anything else."
Having said that, perhaps to prevent outsiders from hearing, Mo Yun moved closer to Hua Gu and whispered to her about our situation.
The next moment, the mushroom's attitude immediately changed, and he said in surprise: "Come, come, come, two adults, come quickly, please come in, the clan leader is in the stone pavilion in the attic, I will take you there now."
Elder Ma and I looked at each other and followed him.
Soon, we entered an attic.
In a small stone pavilion in the attic, I saw a beautiful woman.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, with skin as smooth as a baby's and a graceful and charming figure. Her long, slate-blue hair had already fallen to her waist, and the color was unusually bright.
Seen from the side, her face was fair and clean, and her earlobes were close to her ears, which looked very beautiful.
Especially her pair of wings, which were golden and had many strange elf patterns on them.
Unexpectedly, Elder Mo Yun and the mushroom guard actually bowed to the young woman and said respectfully, "Patriarch, Mo Yun is here to pay you a visit."
The woman turned her head slowly.
She was as beautiful as I had imagined.
But something was wrong, she should be nearing the end of her life and already very old. How could she be so young
Perhaps because he saw me staring at the elf leader with a puzzled look on my face, Mo Yun pulled my arm.
He whispered to me, "Little brother, don't look at her. She is our clan leader Poyi. However, she is not old, but very young. It's just that she almost got possessed by a demon when she was practicing, which damaged her body and she has never recovered."
Oh, if that's the case, then it makes sense.
"Yang Tianyi, Ma Zuoci, meet the leader of the elves."
Elder Ma and I bowed slightly and spoke politely.
When the woman saw the two of us, she frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you two outsiders here?"
At this point, the woman asked Mo Yun again, "Elder Mo Yun, what do you mean? Didn't I tell you that the elves are not allowed to have contact with humans from the outside world? Did you ignore my words? Why did you bring two outsiders to our Elf Temple? Who gave you the courage?!"
