Nanfeng frowned suddenly when he heard this, "This is a bad idea. We have offended very few people."

"Then what do you think we should do?" the fat man asked.

Before Nan Feng could answer, Zhuge Chanjuan interrupted, "How about this, we pretend not to know what's going on, and we are just entrusted by the scholar to treat it as a ghost and find ways to get it. In this way, if it wants to make us stop, it will only Be able to tell the truth. If you don’t tell it, you’ll torture him in a different way.”

As soon as Zhuge Chanjuan finished speaking, Fatty expressed his agreement, "This method is good."

Poor Gao Ping couldn't make any decisions in his life, he could only frown and grin. He couldn't tell the specific difference between ghosts and spiritual consciousness in previous lives. He only knew that the fat man wanted to beat him, and Zhuge Chanjuan wanted to torment him in different ways.

Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhuge Chanjuan without commenting.

Zhuge Chanjuan thought she had come up with a clever plan, but when she saw Nanfeng's expression and knew that he was not satisfied with the method she said, she became unhappy and said, "This is not good, and that won't work either. What do you want?"

"It's still early before dark. Let's not rush to decide how to deal with it. Let's sort through the clues first." Nanfeng said.

Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty did not answer. Instead, Gao Pingsheng, who was sitting in the corner, nodded repeatedly, "What you said is absolutely true. What you said is absolutely true."

Nanfeng organized his thoughts and said, "There is no doubt that this person is Linfan of the Immortal Family, but there are still three doubts that need to be scrutinized. One is the reason for Linfan of this Immortal Family, and the other is the character of this Immortal Family before Linfan. steps, the last one is why he is here.”

"You have to think about even the most trivial matters. What are you doing?" the fat man answered.

"The identity and position of this person determine how we treat him." Nanfeng said, it is not valuable to do just what you say, but what is valuable is to think carefully and do it right.

What Nanfeng said made sense, and the fat man couldn't refute, so he waved his hand, "Okay, you can push it, we'll listen."

Nanfeng said, "There are two possibilities for immortals to come to earth. One is to be demoted to the earth due to unforeseen disasters. The immortal family in heaven is not once and for all. Earth immortals have a calamity every hundred years, heavenly immortals have a calamity every thousand years, and golden immortals have a calamity every ten thousand years. , Daluo will have a calamity of one hundred thousand years. Another possibility is that he is not satisfied with the current level, so he takes the initiative to go down to earth and practice again."

"Which category does he belong to?" The fat man pointed at Gao Pingsheng with his wolf's legs.

"The second possibility is more likely," Nanfeng said, and then added the reason, "The immortal family should be demoted to the earth in the event of disaster, which is equivalent to exile. There will be no spiritual light retained. It is difficult for such immortal families to return to heaven after descending to the earth. In this case, He has already entered the Great Cave eighteen years after he came to earth, which shows that he knows exactly what he is doing when he comes to earth."

"Go on." The fat man chewed the wolf meat.

Zhuge Chanjuan took out the water jug and handed it to Nanfeng to drink. Nanfeng took it and took a sip, then continued, "The second doubt is more difficult to examine. According to common sense, the higher the rank of the Xian family, the higher the rank of the Xian family. The less spiritual consciousness he retains after becoming mortal, this person not only retains a large amount of spiritual consciousness, but also retains his previous memories. This should not happen to the Earth Immortal who retains the most spiritual consciousness."

"Could he be a great immortal?" Zhuge Chanjuan guessed.

"Not necessarily." Nanfeng shook his head. Big Eyes was the Great Luo Jinxian in his previous life, and Fatty was also the same as the Great Luo Jinxian in his previous life. Neither of them retained complete spiritual consciousness.

After Nanfeng finished speaking, neither of them answered. Fatty was from the Buddhist sect, while Zhuge Chanjuan was a martial artist studying medicine. She didn't know much about these things in the Taoist sect and couldn't make any good suggestions.

After a moment of silence, Zhuge Chanjuan spoke first, "Is there any correlation between the level of the Immortal family and the quality of their talents after becoming mortal?"

"There is no direct connection." Nanfeng replied, even those immortals who take the initiative to come down to earth may not necessarily have extraordinary qualifications. Heaven's actions are much more fair than those in the world. It cannot be said that there is no favor, but there will be no corruption and perversion of the law. .

"What grade do you think he is?" the fat man asked.

"Without any basis, we can only guess." Nanfeng said.

"You can guess," said the fat man.

"I feel that this person's rank in heaven should not be very low, but it is not very high either." Nanfeng said, "If Da Luo Jinxian retains complete spiritual consciousness and memory, he should be more than the current cultivation level in the eighteen years since he came to the world. Because. If an earthly immortal comes to the mortal world, he should not retain complete spiritual consciousness. No matter what the reason is, retaining spiritual consciousness is a form of malpractice. Immortals who come to the mortal world cannot decide how much spiritual consciousness they retain. How much spiritual consciousness they retain is determined by heaven. Some immortal families decided that the immortal family in charge of this matter in heaven took a huge risk to allow an earth immortal to retain so much spiritual consciousness, which was not worth the gain. After all, what the earth immortal can do is very limited."

"You mean the Heavenly Immortal and the Golden Immortal?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.

Nanfeng nodded, "These two possibilities are the most likely. This person may not be here to practice for himself, but to follow or serve a more powerful immortal family."

The fat man became interested upon hearing this, "Why do you say that?"

"I'm guessing." Nanfeng said. For some reason, this person reminded him of Huang Qishan, who followed Taiyin Yuanjun. , there will be many lieutenants following him. He suspected that Gao Pingsheng was one of the lieutenants who followed the chief general, but this was just a guess and had no basis.

"And the last one," the fat man pointed at Gao Pingsheng, "What is this guy doing here?"

Although Gao Pingsheng was the person involved, he couldn't give an answer. He could only turn his head and look at Nanfeng, waiting for him to speak.

Nanfeng said, "After the spiritual consciousness was able to control his actions, he came to Jiangbei more than once. This shows that he has a planned destination. This place is more than three hundred miles away from the mountain. His arrival here is definitely not By chance, I probably want to go somewhere in the mountains."

Zhuge Chanjuan frowned slightly when she heard this, "How far is it from where we want to go?"

"Less than three hundred miles." Nanfeng said. He also suspected what Zhuge Chanjuan suspected. Gao Ping's spiritual consciousness in his previous life belonged to a certain immortal family in the Zhou Dynasty, and the nine Taoists who were stationed at the Nine Dragon Veins lived in In the Zhou Dynasty, judging from the current situation, Gao Ping might have been one of the nine Taoists in his previous life.

The fat man knew what the two were talking about, so he pretended to wipe his mouth and whispered, "Maybe he is robbing us. Let's tie him up before he wakes up to avoid trouble when it gets dark."

"The big cave cannot be tied up with ropes if its cultivation level is ordinary. It can only be sealed." Zhuge Chanjuan looked at Nanfeng.

"No." Nanfeng replied. After saying this, he saw Zhuge Chanjuan frowning and repeated, "I really don't know how. I haven't learned it seriously."

Gao Pingsheng was confused in the corner and interrupted in confusion, "How should heroes deal with situations like mine?"

"Don't worry as we are here." The fat man said casually.

"It's better than this. We don't confront him head-on. We hide in the dark and see where he goes, and then we make arguments." Nanfeng suggested.

"Alright." The fat man nodded in agreement.

Zhuge Chanjuan took out a bamboo tube, walked to the corner and handed it to Gao Pingsheng, "Take it with you, don't open it, as long as you take this bamboo tube with you, we can find you."

At this moment, Gao Pingsheng didn't know what the three of them wanted to do, so he could only take the bamboo tube in confusion and put it down close to him.

Nanfeng stood up straight, took out a map, and pointed it out to the two of them, "You go on the road first and go northwest. About three hundred miles away, you can see three connected peaks. The left is the highest, the middle is slightly shorter, and the right is another. Short, the place we want to go is around the highest peak."

The angle was wrong. Fatty took the map and flipped it over to look at it. Nanfeng said again, "If he goes at full speed and you can't keep up with him, you can only go over and wait first. I'll stay and see where he's going."

"Okay." Zhuge Chanjuan nodded in agreement.

Nanfeng was worried and said, "There are probably dragons dormant in that place. Don't act rashly when you go there. Find a safe place and wait for me."

"Okay." The fat man handed the map to Nanfeng.

"Take it first, don't get lost." Nanfeng waved his hand.

The fat man put the map in his arms and said, "Okay, let's go there first. You be careful."

The two of them didn't hesitate and left as soon as they said they wanted.

After the two left, Gao Pingsheng moved over and said, "Hero, are you a Taoist?"

Nanfeng nodded. Although he could only be regarded as a half-hearted Taoist at best, the connotation was not fake.

"How should I deal with a situation like mine?" Gao Pingsheng asked.

Nanfeng also understood his mood and patiently explained to him.

After learning that his spiritual consciousness could not be expelled, Gao Pingsheng was very depressed. Seeing that he was in a low mood, Nanfeng explained to him that even if his spiritual consciousness in his previous life was integrated with the current life, he would not lose himself, but would be able to recall everything from his previous life.

What Gao Pingsheng was most worried about was that his body would be possessed by the consciousness of his previous life. If that were the case, he would be as good as dead. Hearing Nanfeng say this, he finally felt relieved and even had some vague expectations.

Nanfeng asked some more questions about what the spiritual consciousness did when it was in charge, trying to figure out the spirit's temperament, but this path did not work. When the spiritual consciousness controlled Gao Pingsheng's body, he rarely did anything else except practice in secret. , has been keeping a low profile.

It gets dark early in winter, and as soon as Shen Shi passes, the sky becomes dark. Since the three of them had stayed in the cave before, and were worried about being noticed by the spiritual consciousness, Nanfeng instructed Gao Pingsheng to leave the cave and walk eastward.

Knowing that the south wind was protecting him secretly, Gao Pingsheng was not afraid and walked on the snow.

Nanfeng hid on the top of the mountain to the east and watched from a distance.

The snow was so thick that Gao Pingsheng could not walk fast, and it became dark before he had gone very far.

After night fell, Gao Pingsheng stopped. After a brief moment of silence, he tilted his head and looked around at the surrounding scenery, then soared high into the sky and swept towards the northwest.

What Gao Pingsheng said before was true. When his spiritual consciousness was dormant, he didn't know what Gao Pingsheng had experienced. This time, he continued on his way to his destination.

For fear of being discovered by the spiritual consciousness, Nanfeng did not dare to follow him too closely. He could only hang at a distance based on the opponent's complexion.

But what he didn't expect was that the dark blue aura disappeared after crossing a mountain.

Seeing this, Nanfeng hurriedly accelerated to catch up. When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw Gao Pingsheng climbing over the mountain in front. This man must have used some kind of magic to hide his aura. Although he was accelerating the air, his complexion was not revealed.

Although they were both in a big hole, Nanfeng had a hard time following. The movement technique used by Gao Pingsheng was very elegant but very fast. He was clumsy and had to use all his strength to keep up. Fortunately, Gao Pingsheng never thought that someone was following him. Behind me, I didn't look back when I was on my way, so I didn't find him.

Nanfeng followed behind, getting more and more frightened as he followed. Gao Pingsheng kept moving to the northwest. Judging from the situation, he was probably going to the place where the tortoise shell was hidden.

Before the second watch, three connected peaks appeared in front, and Gao Pingsheng fell to the foot of the west peak...
