Zhuge Chanjuan's cultivation was not as good as Nanfeng's, so she couldn't see clearly, "Is this a Taoist from Shangqing?"

"Yes, find a place to hide quickly." Nanfeng bowed and hid in the woods on the west side.

Worried that their aura would be revealed, the two of them did not dare to use their body skills and hurriedly walked under the forest to find a place to hide.

The south is warm and humid, and there are many trees that do not shed their leaves, which makes it convenient for the two to hide. However, what the two are looking for is not a temporary hiding place, but a place where they can hide for a long time. This is difficult to find, so they keep heading west. After walking for three or four miles, I found a big tree with lush branches and leaves, making it easy to get up and down. As soon as the two of them climbed up the tree and hid themselves, two Taoists fell from the sky and landed not far away on the east side.

"I feel wronged, junior sister." The speaker was an elderly Taoist in his sixties.

"It doesn't matter if you obey the authority in urgent matters." The person waving her hand was a young Taoist nun in her twenties or thirties.

The two Shangqing Taoists were not far from where they were hiding, and they heard their conversation very clearly. This young Taoist nun should be the purple-qi alien, but this person is not the old Taoist's mount, but his Logically speaking, my fellow disciple cannot ride, so the old Taoist felt aggrieved.

"Fifth Senior Brother, is this here?" The Taoist nun pointed at the swamp.

"It must be so." As the old man spoke, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve and looked down at it.

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Chanjuan looked at Nanfeng doubtfully.

With the master beside him, Nanfeng didn't dare to speak. He just shook his head and indicated that he didn't know what the yellow paper held by the old Taoist recorded. However, the yellow paper used by the old Taoist should be uncut talisman paper. It didn't look like it was written over a long time ago. things.

After looking at the yellow paper, the old Taoist nodded, "That's exactly where it is."

"The miasma here is thick, I'm afraid it's poisonous," the Taoist nun said.

The old Taoist nodded, "Since there is miasma, it means that the Golden Jade Temple is here. Let's go down and have a look."

After the old saying, he jumped forward and took the lead.

"The miasma is poisonous. To be safe, hold your breath." The Taoist nun then followed.

After the two Taoists left, Nanfeng and Zhuge Chanjuan dared to speak. Zhuge Chanjuan said, "Could the Jinyu Temple they were talking about be the small Taoist temple on Toad's back?"

"It should be." Nanfeng said. The Taoist temple on Toad's back was covered with gold tiles and vertical jade walls. It was very appropriate to call it the Golden Jade Temple.

Zhuge Chanjuan added, "They should have received the news recently. If they had known that Jinyu Temple was here, they would not have waited until now to come."

"It was Gao Pingsheng who leaked the news." Nanfeng said. After saying this, he saw the confusion on Zhuge Chanjuan's face and explained, "Other than Gao Pingsheng, it is impossible for anyone else to know the name of a Taoist temple that existed a thousand years ago."

Zhuge Chanjuan still had doubts, "Gao Pingsheng once said before leaving that time was tight. How could he have the leisure to talk to the Shangqing Sect?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that Gao Pingsheng was originally a disciple of Jie Jiao. In his previous life, he indulged in drinking and sex and neglected his official duties. He felt guilty towards the Shangqing Sect, so he tried to make up for them." Nanfeng slowly shook his head as he said this, "But this The possibility is not very high, but the biggest possibility is that Gao Ping cannot handle the errand. Due to time constraints, he has no choice but to tell the location of the Book of Heaven in exchange for Shangqing Sect's help."

Zhuge Chanjuan nodded. What Nanfeng said was true. When the three of them set out to find the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book, there were no competitors. After Gao Pingsheng was released, competitors appeared. These competitors knew the location of the turtle shell so clearly. Naturally, It was with the guidance of Gao Pingsheng.

At this time, the two Shangqing Taoists were searching around the swamp to the south. Perhaps they were afraid of the miasma emanating from the swamp, so they did not dare to get too close to the swamp when searching.

After coming back to her senses, Zhuge Chanjuan suddenly remembered something, "If Gao Pingsheng really leaks the news, you will be in great danger."

"What danger am I in?" Nanfeng asked casually.

"You told him that you had four tortoise shells in your hand. If he informed this..."

Nanfeng waved his hand to interrupt Zhuge Chanjuan, "No, he knows my relationship with Taiyin Yuanjun."

Hearing this, Zhuge Chanjuan felt relieved. Some words did not need to be explained clearly. Nanfeng meant that Gao Pingsheng was reincarnated this time to help Taiyin Yuanjun on errands. Naturally, he would not betray Taiyin Yuanjun's sworn brother.

He felt relieved, but felt uncomfortable in his heart, "That's right, who are you? Taiyin Yuanjun's old friend."

"Be careful." Nanfeng frowned.

The two Shangqing Taoists were both possessed of lavender spiritual energy. Their mountain-based cultivation was able to fly two miles at a time, and they were still circling around the swamp.

After half a stick of incense, the two Shangqing Taoists found a hiding place in the northeast of the swamp and lay dormant. There was no movement for a long time.

"They are waiting for reinforcements." Zhuge Chanjuan guessed.

"Yes." Nanfeng said. He saw at least a dozen Shangqing Taoists last time, but these two were the only ones here this time. This shows that the Shangqing people do not always travel together. After arriving at a location, A few people will stay and others will continue to advance. This approach will not only save time to the greatest extent, but also advance quickly to seize the opportunity.

"I'm afraid it's hard to get the things here." Zhuge Chanjuan said again.

Nanfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was already difficult, but now his opponent has sent forwards to guard it. It would be extremely difficult to get the tortoise shell here.

But he was unwilling to leave just like that, so he could only continue to hide and act according to the opportunity.

Queen Toad comes out for air in the early morning, and if nothing else goes wrong, she will come out for air again at midnight. As the time approached, Nanfeng cheered up and looked intently at the swamp, looking for the Queen Toad who might appear at any time.

"Look." Zhuge Chanjuan pushed Nanfeng.

Nanfeng looked to the east as Zhuge Chanjuan pointed, and saw a large amount of spiritual energy appearing in the east. There were four purple energy in Jushan alone, and there were many blue spiritual energy further away.

Not long after, the purple energy master who was flying in front climbed over the hill and entered the sight of the two. What Nanfeng never expected was that the person who came was not a Taoist, but a man from the world dressed as a martial artist, the four masters who lived in the mountains. He recognized two of them, they were Zheng Qi and his wife from the Qingyu Sect, the other two were an old man in gray clothes, and the other was a middle-aged man in red robes.

"Do you recognize them?" Nanfeng looked at Zhuge Chanjuan.

"I recognize that couple. I saw them in Fengming Mountain. They are the head of the Qingyu Sect and his wife. I don't recognize the other two." Zhuge Chanjuan said.

"Why are they here?" Nanfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "How come everyone in the Shangqing Sect knows about it?"

"Who doesn't have many informants?" Zhuge Chanjuan said with a smile. At this point, she had no hope. With so many people coming, it was impossible for the tortoise shell to fall into the hands of these two people.

While the two were talking, Zheng Qi and others had already arrived at the east side of the swamp. The four of them stood on the shore and pointed, not knowing what they were talking about.

Not long after, those people from the rivers and lakes who were left behind also arrived. There were men and women, old and young, there must be thirty or forty people.

This group of people came at the right time. As soon as they arrived, the black water in the southeastern area of the swamp began to boil, and the corner of the cornice was revealed again.

Seeing the golden cornices, the crowd immediately became restless, and some impatient people jumped out and rushed towards the cornices.

This swamp has a radius of dozens of miles, and the place where the Toad Queen appears is five or six miles away from the shore. Naturally, those people cannot jump there. They must know this, and they don’t want to directly climb up to the eaves. They just want to sweep farther away. , and then the swim will pass.

The sound of splashing into the water was endless, but then came the cry for help. The water in the swamp was not deep, and there was bottomless mud below. The body sank immediately in it and was not allowed to swim at all.

These people may know that there are tortoise shells hidden here, and they may be greedy or lucky, but they will try to save people. Those who stand by and watch are considered good people, and some may even step out and step on the heads of those who are trapped in the swamp. Taking advantage of his strength, he tried to climb up the eaves.

The so-called seeking wealth through danger is nothing more than the ignorant clamor of desperadoes. Most of the time, danger can only bring death, but not wealth. Those who try to seek wealth through danger also fall into the water for no other reason, even if they trample on others. With the help of his head, he could only move forward a few feet, and he was still quite far away from the cornice.

He sank into the mud very quickly, but within a moment the black water was above his head, and the pitiful cries for help disappeared.

A group of people died, and the remaining ones were all honest, maybe not really honest, at least they no longer acted rashly. They just gathered around and stared eagerly at the cornices and roof ridges rising slowly in the black water.

Compared to ordinary warriors, Zheng Qi and others seemed much calmer, just waiting and watching without taking action.

"What are those people carrying behind them?" Zhuge Chanjuan pointed to the southeast. Behind the man in red stood several men in black, all carrying a large vat.

"Vat." Nanfeng replied.

Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at Nanfeng, "I know it's a vat, but what I'm asking is what's in the vat?"

"I didn't know." Nanfeng's attention was on the middle-aged man in red. When everyone was looking at the Taoist temple, the man took black water from the edge of the swamp and looked at the sun.

"A bunch of fools don't know they are about to die." Zhuge Chanjuan said.

Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Zhuge Chanjuan. He saw Zhuge Chanjuan holding a piece of thatch in her hand. The mountain wind blew and the thatch tilted to the southeast.

At this time, the Taoist temple had already risen halfway. The people in the world did not know that the Toad Queen would spray poisonous mist after the Taoist temple was fully raised. Their thoughts were all on the golden dome and jade walls of the Taoist temple, and they were worried about the upcoming event. The disaster was completely unnoticed.

"There is someone." There was a loud voice in the crowd.

Nanfeng looked to the northeast in the direction where everyone was watching, and saw more than a dozen purple auras appearing in the northeast. One of them had a deep purple aura, and he was actually a Taixuan cultivator.

There were many ups and downs in the mountains. When the group of people climbed over the ridge and came into view, Nanfeng frowned suddenly. It was not the Taoists of the three sects who came, but another group of warriors. The leader was none other than Li Chaozong, the leader of the martial arts community in the Western Wei Dynasty.

Li Chaozong did not generate wings at this time, but used body skills. Different from the ragtag group of Liang Kingdom, Li Chaozong led all masters who lived above the mountain. They moved quickly and were twenty miles away in the blink of an eye.

"Your old sweetheart is here." Nanfeng held a grudge.

"Can you speak human language?" Zhuge Chanjuan contradicted.

"No." Nan Feng was annoyed.

"Narrow-minded." Zhuge Chanjuan despised him.

Nanfeng did not pick up the fight again. Zhuge Chanjuan followed Li Chaozong in Qilin Town, Zhuge Chanjuan was still with Li Chaozong in Fengming Mountain, and Zhuge Chanjuan was still with Li Chaozong in Orc Valley. He naturally felt uncomfortable, but he felt better after saying it. Already…
