In fact, the Dragon Girl’s guess was not wrong. Lian Ping’er did take Aze on the flying boat of Xuanxin Mansion.
After a few days of contact and having a good understanding of Aze and gaining his trust, Lian Ping'er decided to take Aze to find someone who could solve Aze's current predicament.
Of course, Lian Ping'er had no intention of considering Aze, and Aze would probably not like this way of solving the dilemma.
In fact, Lian Ping'er could have really brought Aze to Ji Yuan and used this to show her goodwill to Ji Yuan, but she seemed to be instinctively afraid of and rejected Ji Yuan, so much so that when she first knew that Aze had a relationship with Ji Yuan, she chose to lie.
Having met Ji Yuan once before, and later learning about the relationship between Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian, and seeing the publication of the book "Huangquan", Lian Ping'er vaguely felt that it seemed impossible and not quite right to win over Ji Yuan. However, no matter what others thought, at least that was what she thought.
However, some upper-level lords seem to have illusions about Ji Yuan. Lian Ping'er does not comment on this, but she definitely does not like Ji Yuan. After deceiving Aze's trust, how could she possibly hand over such a magical person with "Demon Heart Seed of Tao" to Ji Yuan obediently
“Boom boom boom…”
"Aunt Ning, the flying boat is setting up a formation to attract star power tonight. Let's go to the deck to practice!"
Aze knocked on Ning Xin's door and spoke. Lian Ping'er inside opened his eyes, counted with his fingers, and immediately smiled. They should be almost there.
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Lian Ping'er tidied herself up a little, then opened the door and went out, going up to the deck from the cabin with Aze.
Many monks had gathered on the deck, and of course there were also many mortals. They all looked up at the sky. The Xuanxin Mansion's treasure ship was emitting bursts of hazy light at this moment, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly, which seemed much brighter than usual.
"Aze, this is the Xingsheng area, which is the only way for the Xuanxin Mansion's flying boats to pass. In places like this, they will definitely open the flying boat formation to draw in the star power. Look at the sea below. Every night when the weather is clear like today, many fish and even aquatic creatures gather here."
Following the direction Lian Ping'er pointed, Aze lay on the side of the boat and looked down. As expected, he saw dense schools of fish gathered on the undulating sea surface that reflected the light of the stars. There were even many big fish like whales and some old sea turtles. If you look closely, you can see a large black mass.
Just as Aze was looking at the sea below, a ray of starlight fell like raindrops, followed by the second and the third. Aze raised his head and the starlight in the sky was already falling like raindrops.
"What a nice view… "
Aze stared at the beautiful scenery in a daze, feeling sorry that Sister Jin couldn't see this scene.
"Hehe, Immortal, when it comes to the beauty of falling stars, this is actually nothing."
Aze turned his head and saw an old man standing next to him. It was obvious that he was not a monk, but he had a literary aura, so much so that under the starlight, he seemed somewhat bright.
"Has the old man seen anything more beautiful?"
Lian Ping'er asked with a smile, and the old man stroked his beard and nodded, revealing a look of reminiscence.
"My teacher and I often traveled around the world on this flying boat of the Immortal Master of Xuanxin Mansion. More than 20 years ago, we also saw the amazing sight of the boat sailing through the galaxy on this flying boat. The starlight was so rich that it seemed as if the galaxy in the sky was floating around us. It seemed as if we could touch it by reaching out our hands at the side of the boat. That was the most beautiful starlight. At that time, my teacher even drew this scene. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye!"
The old man sighed, walked to a small table nearby and sat down. On the table were writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone and other stationery. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and fine silver and gold powder, and began to concentrate on his painting skills.
Aze stared at the old man in front of him in a daze. He was not stupid and naturally understood that the teacher he was talking about might have passed away long ago. However, the smile on his face showed fond memories. He remembered what Mr. Ji had said.
Immortals have their own understanding of the way, and mortals have their own happiness. Life can be short or wonderful. Although a hundred years of life is not long, a life full of ups and downs is not without excitement. Some people who practice cultivation may not be as good as mortals.
"There are countless beautiful sights like this outside, but it's a pity that you and your family have been trapped in the incomplete world of Jiufeng Cave Heaven. You have no human body or spirituality, no beauty of heaven and earth, and it is even more difficult to revive..."
Lian Ping'er sighed softly in a voice that only he and Aze could hear. Aze turned his head and looked at her. She covered her mouth with her hand, as if she just realized that she had said something wrong.
"Mr. Ji said that the dead cannot be resurrected. Mr. Ji will not lie to me!"
"That's not wrong. I just read "Yellow Springs". Do you still think that people can't be resurrected after death? And Ji Yuan might just be protecting fellow Taoists from Jiufeng Mountain. After all, the mortals kept in the Jiufeng Cave Heaven may seem to have a carefree life, but their souls are trapped in it. It is indeed difficult for them to turn things around. Maybe it's just a little better than the Demon Cave Heaven."
Aze looked away and remained silent, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, while Lian Ping'er looked at the starry sky with a puzzled expression.
This Aze trusted Ji Yuan too much. Lian Ping'er tried many times to lead him to hate Ji Yuan, but was not very successful. She could only do the next best thing and lead him to Jiufeng Mountain first, and then slowly deal with it.
"Anyway, when you find Ji Yuan, you can ask him in person. Don't be afraid. Auntie is on your side. I don't think he will dare to be mean to you!"
Aze smiled and thanked Mr. Ji even though he thought he would not be mean to him.
"Thank you, Aunt Ning."
"Well, I hope that one day you can call me Master's Wife..."
When Lian Ping'er said this, her face turned slightly red. Then she suddenly felt something in her heart and looked into the distance. A faint light flashed in the sea over there.
"Aze, let's go find those fellow Taoists who can help you get rid of the shackles of your practice."
After Aze nodded, Lian Ping'er took him into the air, but they did not fly or hover around the Xuanxin Mansion's flying boat like some of the surrounding cultivators who absorbed starlight. Instead, they went directly out of the range of the flying boat formation and flew away into the distance.
On the flying boat, there were also cultivators from Xuanxin Mansion who noticed this scene, but they did nothing. It was their business if they wanted to leave the boat, but they had also said in advance that the boat would not wait there.
Lian Ping'er and Aze flew rapidly for half an hour and finally flew to a shallow reef in the sea. Aze could see clearly that there were already several people standing there, including scholars, immortal cultivators, and strong men.
"It is Ning Xin's fault for making you wait. This is Aze, a close junior of Mr. Ji. He was imprisoned in Jiufeng Mountain for nearly twenty years and was only released recently."
The people on the reef were slightly startled. Lian Ping'er changed her appearance and changed her name to Ning Xin, or was it secondary? But was it actually related to Ji Yuan
The people below all reacted quickly and bowed in greeting.
"What are you talking about, Fairy Ning? I won't be waiting for long." "My two Taoist friends, I am so tired from the journey!"
"Okay, let's go in and talk. The fellow Taoists below are still waiting."
The last person to speak was Bei Mu. The power of this Bei Mo was unfathomable. Before Lian Ping'er spoke, his attention was always focused on Aze. How could such strange evil thoughts be hidden from his eyes
Beside Beimu, Lu Shanjun remained silent, squinting his eyes at Lian Ping'er and Aze. Aze's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that this man seemed very dangerous.
After Lian Ping'er glanced at Lu Shanjun, the latter looked away, but he was still not very friendly, let alone as flattering as others.
However, although Lu Wu was unruly, he had the capital to be unruly. Lian Ping'er still looked up to him and was giving her face by not making sarcastic remarks.
"Okay, everyone please!"
Beimu stretched out his hand towards the sea surface next to the reef, and immediately the sea water split into two, revealing a passage, and everyone went down.
Through the seabed below the reef, you enter a cave, where you will find a different world inside, a spacious and bright cave with pavilions, towers, palaces and pagodas. It is obviously a magical cave of immortals.
Finally, everyone arrived at a large hall where more than a hundred people were already waiting. All of them were immortals, but some also looked like monsters.
"Aze, those strange-looking creatures are actually immortal beasts raised by immortals. Although they look strange, they are all proud and are also fellow orthodox practitioners. Please do not offend them."
Aze wrote down every word of Aunt Ning and tried not to look at those "fairy beasts" too much.
However, there are quite a few immortal cultivators in this hall. Some are from Qianjiao Island, some are from some small immortal sects, and some are even from famous immortal families. They are all gathered together, and at this moment they are all looking at Lian Ping'er and Aze with amusement.
"Everyone, everyone - please listen to me. Today, we are having a grand gathering and we are welcoming two distinguished guests. I don't need to say much about this one, as she is Mr. Ji's Taoist partner, Fairy Ning Xin Ning. This one is very likely to be Mr. Ji's future disciple, and her surname is Zhuang and her name is Ze!"
Bei Mu smiled and loudly introduced the two people to the guests in the hall. Niu Batian, who was sitting near the top seat, frowned slightly and looked at Lu Shanjun. The latter had an indifferent expression at the moment and just raised his eyebrows in response to Niu Batian's gaze.
"It turned out to be Fairy Ning!" "Hahahaha, Fairy Ning is still as charming as ever!"
"I told you Fairy Ning would definitely come."
"Yes, yes, yes, this fellow Daoist Aze is also very spiritual!"
"Please take a seat quickly, please take a seat quickly!"
Beimu walked over at this moment and pointed to a few tables at the top.
"Aze, Mr. Ji and I are old acquaintances. It is thanks to his kindness that I can inherit the Taoist tradition of my father. How about sitting with me?"
"You won't invite me?"
"Hahaha, Fairy Ning should naturally sit at the head of the table! Please!"
"And everyone, please take your seats!"
The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious and full of joy. Some were discussing Taoism with each other, some were chatting with each other, and quite a few were discussing the book "Huangquan", lamenting that there might be big changes in the underworld. It seemed that many familiar Taoist friends were having a small gathering.
Of course, there are also some more unique and rational ones, such as a seemingly honest man who kept drinking not far away.
When Aze looked over curiously, Niu Batian seemed to have just looked up at him, showing his neat teeth to him.
"Do you want to drink, fellow Taoist?"
"No, I don't drink."
"Hahahaha, fellow Taoist, how can a real man not drink? Many of our fellow Taoists have received 'favors' from Mr. Ji!"
Lao Niu deliberately emphasized the word "favor", even sounding as if he was gritting his teeth. Bei Mu glanced at him, but the latter didn't say anything. He just shook his head slightly and continued drinking.
But Aze felt something strange in his heart, because the look in that man's eyes just now didn't look very friendly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, don't pay attention to him. That fellow Daoist is a little drunk. I have some experience with evil thoughts. Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you."
Beimu was talking to Aze with a smile, while Lian Ping'er on the side nodded to Aze with a smile.
"Let this fellow Daoist Bei cast a spell to detect your pulse. Don't be defensive, just think of it as your aunt detecting your pulse."
"Um… "
Lu Shanjun sat alone not far from Niu Batian. He didn't talk to anyone, nor did he drink tea or wine. But now he suddenly opened his eyes.
"I've been waiting for two days, and you're still dithering. You really think it's a tea party. Why are you talking about something? I don't have the time to play house with you all the time!"
Lu Shanjun's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for people nearby to hear.
"Hey, Brother Lu, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. You have to be able to keep your temper. It would be great if you could drink with me, your brother. Hahahaha!"
Old Niu spoke loudly while laughing drunkenly, his eyes sweeping over the real immortal cultivators in the hall.
"Look at these fellow Taoists, their Qi-cultivation skills are very good, and they are worth learning from you and me, hehehe..."
Lu Shanjun looked at some immortal cultivators with contempt. Others could not sense it, but the immortal cultivators who were seen by him could sense the extremely insulting look.
"A demon is a demon..."
One immortal cultivator couldn't stand it anymore and cursed in a low voice. The drunken old cow stood up in an instant.
"Who are you calling a monster? Do you want to die?"
"boom… "
The wine jar fell to the ground, shocking everyone in the hall. No one thought that this old cow would actually break the rules.
