"Yes, yes!" Seeing the headmaster of Xuantian Sect asking Shi Lin, Wen Tongji quickly intervened in response, and then added: "Thanks to fellow Taoist Lin and the others, otherwise I would be afraid that with my meager behavior, It’s impossible to open the formation!”
Wen Tongji was afraid that Shi Lin and others would tell the truth. After all, the Xuantian Sect seemed to be an orthodox sect, and it would be "difficult" to accept the fact that a fellow disciple was used as a sacrifice to break the formation.
Why the quotation marks
You know, the method of breaking the formation was obtained by Wen Tongji from his mother-in-law Golden Toad.
In other words, Xuantian Sect's original setup was to use humans as sacrifices to attract the Six Desire Demons to possess them, and then kill the Six Desire Demons to break the formation.
But the problem is that Wen Tongji didn't do things cleanly, which meant that Xuantian Sect's "misdeeds" were made known to others.
So, for the sake of its own positive image, will Xuantianzong blame everything on Wen Tongji? Or will they simply kill someone and silence them
Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe the current headmaster and elders of Xuantian Sect no longer know how to open the formation.
But if that were the case, Wen Tongji would be even less able to tell the truth.
"Oh!" The headmaster of Xuantian Sect glanced at Wen Tongji, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes. Then he turned his eyes back to Shi Lin's face and asked, "Is it Fellow Daoist Lin?"
The headmaster's dissatisfaction was of course due to Wen Tongji's interruption. After all, he was originally asking Shi Lin.
Moreover, although Wen Tongji's behavior was to hide something, his intention to hide it was too obvious.
"Haha, I made you laugh! My surname is not Lin, but Shi Lin, my master is the Supreme Elder of the Yuqing Sect, and my Taoist name is Wuji!" Shi Lin no longer used a false name to fool people, and not only did he give out his real name, but also Even the teacher's inheritance was explained.
Why do people in the Jianghu habitually introduce themselves to each other when they meet
The reason is actually very simple. Firstly, it may have a certain deterrent effect, and secondly, it is to avoid "floods washing away the Dragon King Temple".
Therefore, Shi Lin's confession at this time actually had this in mind.
The Yuqing Sect is also a sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps there is some kind of friendship between it and the Xuantian Sect.
Of course, there may be no friendship, or there may even be enmity.
But even if there is any grudge, tens of thousands of years have passed. Does anyone still remember it enough to settle the grudge
Besides, Shi Lin is also confident and is not afraid that the other party will fall out due to any grudges.
For Shi Lin, the main purpose of self-reporting may be to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
As for the fact that Shi Lin used a false name and identity when he met Wen Tongji, it is actually very easy to understand.
After all, Wen Tongji was just a casual cultivator. Regardless of whether Shilin reported his family status or not, the two parties could not get closer or cause misunderstandings.
This, of course, is from the Stone Forest side.
If Wen Tongji used Shi Lin and others as sacrifices, he would obviously suffer from not knowing the other party's true identity.
If Wen Tongji had known the identity of Shi Lin and others from the beginning, he might not have dared to make these calculations, and might even have simply replaced others to "cooperate".
Therefore, it is no wonder that Shi Lin would lie to Wen Tongji.
"Wha, what! Are you..." After Wen Tongji heard Shi Lin's words, his eyes widened in surprise. He almost couldn't believe his ears and said, "I really didn't expect that Taoist friend actually came from Yuqing Sect. And he is also a disciple of that Taoist Wuji!"
No matter how famous Ye Zan was before, just sitting in Tiandao Mountain on behalf of Qinghong Daojun is enough to make the name of Wuji Daojun familiar to all the cultivators in the world.
And the Yuqing Sect has brought such great changes to the entire world of monasticism. The Thousand Miles of Gods, the Internet World, the Virtual God Realm, Lingdao, etc., are not all great and epoch-making creations!
"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Wen. If I had told the truth, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to come here with you." Shi Lin cupped his hand, expressing his apology to Wen Tongji for concealing his identity.
"Haha, it's useless for me to be so complacent. I thought everything was under control, but I didn't expect that I was the stupid one in the end." Wen Tongji shook his head and smiled bitterly. He looked like he had been severely hit, as if his whole person had lost all color. .
But at this time, the masked man next to him sneered, and said with a lot of sarcasm in his tone: "Fellow Daoist Wen, could it be that you have forgotten the two Taoist friends Zheng and Huang!"
Zheng and Huang among the masked people were the goatee and bald man who were actually sacrificed, possessed by the Six Desire Demon and killed.
You, Wen Tongji, say that you are the stupidest one, so what do you think of the two people who have been killed by you
"Uh-huh!" When Wen Tongji heard this, the look of defeat on his face suddenly faded away, and he put on a smile and said: "What are you talking about, Fellow Taoist Tian! The same goes for fellow Taoist Zheng and Huang. It’s such a pity, how could I forget it?”
No one from the Xuantian Sect in the main hall cared what Wen Tongji said.
After listening to Shi Lin's introduction, everyone seemed to recall for a moment and asked each other with eye contact.
Obviously, with the age of the leader and elders, things that happened tens of thousands of years ago are already a long time ago.
Therefore, even if there was any good or bad relationship between the Yuqing Sect and the Xuantian Sect tens of thousands of years ago, no one may be able to remember it now.
"Oh, fellow Taoist turns out to be a disciple of Taoist Wuji. I was a little rude just now, and I hope you can forgive me." The headmaster of Xuantian Sect expressed his apology to Shi Lin sincerely.
Regardless of whether there is any relationship between Yuqing Sect and Xuantian Sect, Shi Lin is a disciple of Dharma Prime Dao Lord after all, so Xuantian Sect cannot ignore it.
If Shi Lin's identity had been known earlier, Xuantian Sect might not have sent just a few Jindan Grandmasters to greet him.
However, Shi Lin didn't care about being rude. He then introduced the two people behind him and said: "This is my junior sister Ye Linglong, and this is my junior brother Wu Liao."
When Shi Lin introduced Ye Linglong, he only said that she was his junior sister, but did not go further and introduce another layer of Ye Linglong's identity.
This self-reporting does not mean that you have to reveal your basic information to others. There is no need to go into too much detail about some information.
If Xuantian Sect has a relationship with Yuqing Sect, no matter whether it is a good relationship or a bad relationship, it has nothing to do with Ye Linglong being Ye Zan's daughter.
It is possible that knowing that Ye Linglong is Ye Zan's daughter will make some thoughtful people have bad ideas.
"Well, these three are worthy of being Dao Lord's disciples. They have achieved such cultivation at such a young age!" Xuantian Sect's headmaster said to Shi Lin and others with emotion and compliments.
The headmaster of Xuantian Sect and several elders are only at the Nascent Soul Realm. According to a certain "convention", it is impossible to see the cultivation of Shi Lin and Ye Linglong.
However, a simple guess shows that Shi Lin and others, who have a master named Daoxiang Daojun, are most likely to be at the Yuan Shen level.
"Headmaster is overly praised." Shi Lin replied humbly.
The compliment was not very sincere.
There is nothing sincere about being humble.
This is the first time for both parties to meet, so there are so many polite words to say!
"This... I invite some fellow Taoists to come over. First, I want to thank these fellow Taoists for opening the grand formation for our sect. Second, I want to ask these fellow Taoists what the scene is like outside now. After all, I Zong Fengshan has been hiding from the world for thousands of years and knows nothing about the outside world. "
Seeing that Shi Lin and others were not the kind of people who were "good at talking", everyone at Xuantian Sect stopped being polite and explained the purpose of inviting these people here.
Although the Xuantian Sect has closed its doors and secluded itself from the world, it is not a small dark room after all, and it still feels the passage of time.
Therefore, they knew clearly that tens of thousands of years had passed since the mountain was sealed and hidden in the world.
And tens of thousands of years are quite a long time, even for a cultivator.
What does it look like outside today
How many sects are left from before the great tribulation
Righteous way and evil way, is the situation still the same
"Ah haha! Don't worry, senior, I will tell you everything I know about the outside world!" Wen Tongji immediately responded, his eyes seeming to glance over Shi Lin and others inadvertently, and he continued: " Although I am a casual cultivator, it is precisely because of this that I need to be well-informed, lest I accidentally capsize my boat. "
Judging from his words, Wen Tongji was obviously implying that people from a large sect like Shi Lin must not be as well-informed as the casual cultivators who wandered around the world.
However, Wen Tongji did not intend to offend Shi Lin and others. In fact, when he glanced at Shi Lin and others, he had already made some pleas.
Unlike famous disciples like Shi Lin, a small casual cultivator like Wen Tongji must seize every opportunity if he wants to achieve success on the path of cultivation.
After confirmation by the head of the Xuantian Sect, Wen Tongji was not a descendant of the branch of the Xuantian Sect that remained outside, which was equivalent to cutting off the path of "recognizing ancestors and returning to the sect".
Therefore, if he wanted to get more benefits and win the favor of Xuantian Sect, Wen Tongji must grab this job of introducing changes in the outside world.
"Well, what Fellow Daoist Wen said is absolutely true." Shi Lin said with a smile.
Shi Lin really didn't pay much attention to such rewards and favors.
In fact, Shi Lin brought his junior brothers and junior sisters here not for treasure hunting or chance, but purely to relieve boredom, relax and gain knowledge.
Although Wen Tongji was not a good person, Shi Lin was really too lazy to compete with him.
"Haha, in that case, there is Taoist friend Lao Wen!" The headmaster of Xuantian Sect also had a kind smile on his face, as if he was completely unaware of Wen Tongji's little thoughts.
Next, things became very simple. After both parties took their seats, Xuantian Sect began to ask "one hundred thousand whys".
Wen Tongji didn't make any big claims either. He could always tell the truth about all the big and small things in the Shenhua Realm, regardless of whether they were true or false.
"That catastrophe ten thousand years ago! Let me tell you, it was really tragic. The great masters of the righteous and evil ways were killed and injured!"
"Later on, it became more and more difficult to practice Taoism!"
"Wherever there is Earth Immortal Taoist Ancestor, even Supreme Tongtian rarely shows up!"
"Probably more than a hundred years ago, the Jade Qing Sect...that is, Daoist Fellow Shi and his sect suddenly heard of a magical weapon called Qianli Sound Transmission."
"There is also the Virtual God Realm..."
"Thousands of Miles Teleportation is amazing! Do you know the Internet? You can use Thousands of Miles Teleportation to go up. It's not just one person talking to another person, but countless people from all over the world can talk together!"
"Does the evil demon from outside the world know? The evil demon from outside the world actually wants to open a passage in the underworld and attract more evil demons from the outside world to invade our domain."
"Later, Xianting made a clever move. Not only did he repel the evil spirits from outside the world, but he also counterattacked through the passage."
"Nowadays, everyone knows that the outer world is full of opportunities, and many people have taken the initiative to go to the outer world to find opportunities. I am not, I am only in the Golden Core Realm. I heard that you need to be in the Yuanshen Realm to be qualified. What kind of avenue is it? What."
Speaking of which, Wen Tongji's ability to talk so endlessly was actually thanks to his ability to express his thoughts from a thousand miles away.
If it were in the past, an era when there was no such thing as traveling a thousand miles to spread the word, no matter how well-informed a casual cultivator was, the information he could obtain was very limited.
But now, people can see all kinds of information on the Internet through traveling thousands of miles away.
Ordinary people may still be limited by their memory. After all, they may not be able to remember many things they have seen.
But ascetics are different. Their memory is much better than that of ordinary people. Even if they cannot achieve the so-called photographic memory, it is still very easy to remember some things.
Wen Tongji relied on conveying his knowledge from thousands of miles and accumulated a large enough amount of information that he could now frighten everyone in the Xuantian Sect.
"I didn't expect that so many changes have happened outside during the ten thousand years since our sect has been hidden in the world and closed in the mountains!" When Wen Tongji stopped to drink tea to soothe his throat, the headmaster of Xuantian Sect was very emotional and talked with several people. The elder said.
"Fortunately, it's not too late for our sect to be born now. We can just... do our part to fight back against the evil spirits from outside the world!" an elder said with great ambition.
"I am very curious about Thousand Miles of Souls. I originally thought it was just something like a paper crane and a jade talisman, but I didn't expect it to have so many magical uses!" Another elder said with an unimaginable look.
Listening to the reactions of everyone at Xuantian Sect, Wen Tongji's face flashed with a hint of pride, he gently put down the tea cup in his hand, and then said: "Seniors, the ability to travel thousands of miles is no longer a rare thing. Even a small cultivator like me can easily buy it. All you need to do is send your disciples to the nearest market, and 90% of the time, you will find a store selling Thousand Miles of Life."
"Oh? Then, I wonder if I can give up my love for the Thousand Miles of God in the hands of my fellow Taoist?" Xuantian Sect's headmaster asked impatiently.
After all, it still takes some time for someone to go to the market to buy it. It is better to get a Thousand Miles of Legends from others to open your eyes first.
"This..." Wen Tongji hesitated for a moment, but thinking that this was an opportunity, he finally took out the Thousand Miles of Legends from his arms and said, "Senior, what did you say? It's just a Thousand Miles of Legends. If you are interested, senior, just take it!" "
Although the function is very magical, the price is really not expensive.
Especially now, it has been hundreds of years since the launch of Qianli Chuanshen, and the price has already dropped to the "commoner" level.
Therefore, Wen Tongji, a casual cultivator, could definitely afford to give it away.
