Lu Dongbin's cultivation has not yet fully recovered, so Wang Yan asked him to monitor Ji Yuangang, take care of his body and mind, and recover as soon as possible.
As for himself, on the whole, his Dao Xing cultivation base is slightly higher than him, plus he has a map of mountains and seas and three volumes of celestial books. Even if he is really not an opponent, he can completely retreat and save his own life.
But Lv Dongbin is different. At present, he has not yet ranked in the immortal class, and he is still only a cultivator in the world. He will inevitably suffer a big loss against the White Lotus Sect, or even the Plague Lord, and it is not guaranteed that he will have the worry of his life.
After the division of labor between the two was completed, no one told the news, but kept it in their hearts. The next morning, they acted according to the plan.
Jili Mountain is located in the northwest direction of Jingzhao Fufu City. According to this, it is about 20 miles away. Not to mention the steepness of the mountain, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains.
This area is almost deserted, and even birds don't shit.
Wang Yan rode through the clouds and fog, and came to the mountain in a blink of an eye, but saw a green, verdant tree, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, extremely barren.
Wang Yan did not dare to be too ostentatious, so he simply landed on the ground and walked slowly along the mountain road. At the same time, he was highly concentrated and explored the surroundings.
Violet Mountain is steep and rocky, making it extremely difficult to travel.
There are weeds all around, and under the breeze, it swayed left and right, and there were some trees of different heights on both sides and in front.
It is strange to say that such a barren mountain has a path leading directly to the depths of the mountain, and there are still people's footprints on the path. In addition, there are also some small potholes, making the road uneven. , obviously not naturally generated, but man-made.
Who will come to this mountain often? Before he arrived here, he had carefully observed the surrounding situation, and there was no one within twenty miles.
Of course, if it is an hunter living in the mountains, it is another matter. Although this possibility is very small, it does not mean that there is no.
Wang Yan paused for a while, and without hesitation, walked along this small path straight into the depths of the mountain. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in this mountain that would make the White Lotus Sect so interested. .
Along the way to the halfway up the mountain, there is a dense forest blocking the road ahead, the trees are extremely prosperous, the branches are lush, and the sky is covered, which is very good.
Being in it is like being in a virgin forest.
In the dense forest, because the sunlight is blocked by the leaves, the atmosphere is very gloomy. Coupled with some birds and beasts, the movements made in the dark are even more terrifying and abnormal. How can ordinary people dare to pass here!
But for Wang Yan, these are not worth mentioning at all.
You must know that he has even been in the underworld, and how rich his experience is. In all these years, he has not seen any monsters and ghosts, and when ordinary ghosts see him, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape, so how dare they come forward and die
Continuing to explore, reaching the depths of the jungle, not far ahead, a broken temple appeared faintly, which immediately attracted Wang Yan's attention.
"The barren mountains and temples are indeed a bit weird!"
Wang Yan smiled as if mocking himself, and walked directly to the ruined temple.
Now that he has come here, he should investigate seriously. If there is a clue, he must not let it go. Maybe in this ruined temple, he will first find what the White Lotus Sect is looking for
With this thought in mind, after a while, he came to the front of the temple.
The scope of this broken temple is not large, the gate has been completely destroyed, the two door panels fell to the ground, covered with dust, and have become rotten wood, and even the plaque above the temple gate has been eroded by wind and rain.
I don't know which deity is offering offerings in the temple. The square courtyard is overgrown with weeds, the cauldron collapsed to the ground, and the ground is very humid.
The hall has also collapsed in half, the beams are broken, the rafters are rotten, the tiles and rubble are all over the ground, and even some mushrooms have grown on it.
At the head of the innermost offering table, a stone statue stands upright, but the head of the stone statue has fallen off, and only a body remains.
It is precisely because of this that people cannot identify who the gods are at all.
Wang Yan continued to walk forward, wanting to enter the hall to find out what was going on. However, when he was passing by the corner of the wall, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and stabilized his body in time. .
As a result, it also made him greatly surprised.
After decades of ascetic cultivation, hundreds of years of Taoism, and a generation of immortals, how could he be tripped over by obstacles, and he didn't notice it beforehand? This is too unbelievable, too incredible!
When he came back to his senses, he glanced at the corner of the wall, but saw an old man dressed as a beggar lying on the corner.
He held a cane in his arms, with a gourd wrapped around the cane. He fell on his back and fell asleep. He stretched his waist and kicked his legs out, which caused Wang Yan to trip. A fall.
An old beggar almost stumbled on him, and I'm afraid that no one can believe it when he says it out. Besides, when the old beggar is lying here, he doesn't notice or sense it, it's really strange!
"Heaven Comes"
Looking at the old beggar in front of him, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little bit of vigilance in his heart, barren mountains, dilapidated temples, how could ordinary beggars dare to sleep here alone, and this person can hide from his eyes and ears.
This is obviously unusual. The old beggar in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person. Under the test of his vitality, including opening his eyes, he has never been able to see the true identity of this old beggar, and he does not know whether he is a demon or a human, whether he is a fairy or a devil. Or some other dangerous species.
In any case, there is an old beggar of unknown origin in the old forest in the deep mountains, and even the Taoism of other immortals can't be seen. This is a suspicious thing in itself, but it should not be careless.
When Wang Yan was hesitating in his heart, at this very moment, the old beggar yawned, immediately woke up, turned around, and opened his sleepy eyes.
With just one glance, he saw Wang Yan in front of him. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and in the end, Wang Yan spoke first.
"Blessed immeasurable Tianzun, the old gentleman is polite."
Wang Yan gave him a bow and said in a gentle tone.
The old beggar leaned on a cane, first leaned against the wall, stood up slowly, then passed the cane around the joint of his right leg, causing his right leg to wrap around it, and walked two steps limping, he turned out to be a lame man .
"Where did this Taoist priest come from? What are you doing here?"
With a slight smile on his face, the old beggar didn't show much courtesy. He went straight to the point and questioned him about his origins. In his demeanor, he seemed very calm.
