Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Reunion
Soon after Lin Lan advanced to the Jindan stage, he was sent to the sea to carry out the mission of the sect. Originally, I thought that with her and Shen Mutian, two Jindan stage monks, she would be able to run away without winning such a task, and there should be no problem, but I didn't expect that she would never go back, and only Shen Mutian returned to the sect alone.
Feng Qi Peak was just established by her, everything was still just a grass creation, and there were only a few people on the peak, such as Ming Sha, Lin Miao'er's family, Huang Wu and Zhilan, and their cultivation was not high, without Lin Lan's support, they were quickly submerged in the many peaks of the Ethereal Immortal Sect. If Lin Lan fell, this peak would also be taken back by the sect, and Mingsha and the others would have to leave, but Lin Lan was not dead, and her natal jade plate was still intact, indicating that she was just unable to come back for the time being. In this way, this phoenix peak can only stay.
It's just that without the peak master's peak, the life of the monk is not easy. The sect is not obliged to raise them in vain, they still need to complete various sect tasks and contribute to the sect, especially Mingsha, Lin Yincheng and He Liqing are actually not sect disciples in the strict sense, for Lin Lan's sake, the sect turned a blind eye and let them live here, but naturally they could not get the benefits that the sect disciples deserved.
Although Lin Lan left them a lot of materials before leaving, enough for them to cultivate for one hundred and eighty years, the peak without the support of the peak master was one head shorter than others after all. In addition, Lin Lan was in excess of limelight in the sect before her disappearance, not everyone can look at her indifferently, and there are many people who are envious and jealous.
Fortunately, Shen Mutian may be sorry and has been taking good care of them. Not only did he instruct his subordinates to take care of them from time to time, but he would also come to sit on this Fengqi Peak when he had time to guide them in their cultivation. Instead, he took on the responsibility of being a peak master. Because of Shen Mutian's care, everyone on Fengqi Peak was a little better.
The Ethereal Immortal Sect is divided into an inner gate and an outer gate. The outer disciples are all monks below the foundation building period, and although they also enjoy the benefits of the sect, their cultivation conditions are much worse than those of the inner disciples. They are only qualified to become inner disciples when they have broken through the foundation building period on their own, and they can also choose a peak to join on their own in exchange for better cultivation resources. At the same time, each peak can also absorb the promising disciples it likes, and in short, this is a matter of two-way choice.
Since Feng Qi Peak has become an independent peak, it naturally has the right to absorb disciples. You can choose a certain number of outer disciples to replenish your peak. Although Lin Lan was not there, the sect did not deprive them of this qualification, and theoretically they could still choose people.
But that's only theoretical, after all. In fact, there is no master who can handle Feng Feng Peak, even if he wants to choose people, he is powerless. No one would want to come here, who knows if Lin Lan will suddenly die when he is outside. At that time, this phoenix peak will naturally disperse.
So Lin Miaoer and Huang Wu discussed. I didn't plan to add people to the peak, just a few of them honestly guarded it, and waited for Lin Lan to come back. However, I didn't expect that this wait would be decades, and a lot of things have happened in it.
They don't choose people, but they can't stop people from taking the initiative to join. Lin Lan is a person from the Nether, and he is also a leader in the Xiuzhen family in the Nether. Don't look at the cultivation realm, it looks like a plate of loose sand. Everyone racked their brains and did whatever it took to cultivate themselves, but in fact, the strength of the sects and families in the cultivation realm was still very strong. If a cultivator goes against the sky and acts according to his heart, it will inevitably become bloody and cruel. Who doesn't have blood on their hands? Therefore, if you want to go further on the road of cultivation, the strength of the family and the sect is very important, don't you see how many monks who have been able to cultivate to the Jindan stage or above since ancient times are scattered cultivators?
So when Lin Hong and Xu Jiping, who were from Lin Lan's hometown, were qualified to join the inner gate, they thought of Lin Lan. Although Lin Lan's whereabouts are unknown now, she may not necessarily die, and when she returns, how can she take care of her fellow villagers, right? It is much more reliable to follow her than to follow the elders who don't know the truth.
Moreover, they were all witnesses who watched Lin Lan soar from the waste wood of the Five Spirit Roots to the Jindan stage, and for this woman who had a bad chance, they had a little more confidence than others, and they didn't want to believe that she would fall and return to the sect one day! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if she really falls and can't come back, they won't have a chance to find a way out again at that time.
With such an idea, when Lin Hong and the others got the qualification to enter the inner gate, they took the initiative to find Feng Qifeng and asked to join. Of course, since Lin Lan was not there, Lin Miaoer and the others were not qualified to accept these people on her behalf, even Shen Mutian. They can only live on this peak first, and consider themselves the people of Fengqi Peak, but they will not be able to officially accept them until Lin Lan returns.
That's decades.
However, not everyone has the same thoughts as Lin Hong, so although some people have volunteered to join Feng Tuo Peak, the number of people is not large, which has caused the situation that the people on Feng Kuo Peak say more and say less.
After figuring out these things, feelings of emotion arose, and Lin Lan had very complicated feelings for Lin Hong and them. It is undeniable that when she was adrift, Lin Hong and their joining more or less played a role in stabilizing the situation. If there is a peak, and the people of the whole sect avoid it, this peak will be over, and it will not help if she comes back. Therefore, Lin Hong's joining is also equivalent to a signal, Lin Lan is not dead after all, and Feng Qifeng is still possible to survive after all, which is more or less a deterrent effect for some suspicious fellow disciples.
She let out a long sigh and said, "It's rare that they look up to me so much, and they have been waiting for me to come back, so naturally I won't treat them badly." After sighing for a while, she changed the topic again and asked, "Mother, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, as well as Miao'er and Huang Wu, how are your cultivation now?" How's the cultivation going? ”
Mingsha and the others glanced at each other, revealing a little joy, and just about to speak, suddenly a powerful aura came, and a voice sounded from mid-air, with a little eagerness and nervousness, and asked, "Is Senior Sister Lin back?!" ”
Lin Lan couldn't help but be stunned, although this breath and voice had been separated for many years, because they were very familiar, they immediately recalled it.
She stood up, also let out her breath, and said with a smile, "Is it Senior Brother Shen?" My little sister is back! ”
Before the words fell, a cyan figure appeared in front of her, and she fixed her eyes on it, who was Shen Mutian?
I haven't seen him for decades, and time has not left any traces on him, he is still so handsome, still so floating, and the senior brother of Zhilan Yushu must be no different from decades ago.
However, he has always been mature and steady, but he is obviously very excited at the moment, and his face is even flushed slightly, which is extremely rare to see in cultivators who have achieved cultivation, and most of them have long been accustomed to being pure in heart and few desires, not to be happy with things, and not to be sad about themselves.
His eyes flashed with excitement and surprise, and he stared at the woman in front of him without blinking, the beautiful face seemed to be better than before, the aura was staggering, it seemed that the Nine Heavens Fairy descended to the earth, compared to before the separation, her body seemed to be more and more radiant, so that people could no longer take their eyes off her at a glance, and her eyes were full of her figure and demeanor.
He just stood stunned, looking at her, time seemed to freeze at this moment, the air seemed to be condensed, and an indescribable feeling permeated between them, making Lin Miaoer and the others next to him confused, but as if they were infected, no one could make a sound, let alone move.
Lin Lan also seemed to be intoxicated by his eyes, his eyes seemed to shine with the brightest light in the night sky, deeply attracting her under the night sky, and she couldn't extricate herself. However, after all, she was not an ordinary person who had never seen the world, and after a long time, she suddenly shivered, and woke up from this scene as if she had been cursed, and then she was embarrassed - even if the defense of men and women was not very important in the cultivation realm, it was still a bit too much to blatantly stare at men like this. Especially Lin Lan, who is "halfway home", can't do the same freewheeling as a native cultivator, ignoring all kinds of moral dogmas.
She looked away a little embarrassed, not daring to look into his eyes again, and at the same time said sneeringly: "Senior Brother Shen, you ......"
The voice was cut off abruptly, her eyes widened suddenly, and there was a burst of quiet and elegant fragrance in her nose, but her whole body suddenly seemed to stiffen, and there was a "boom" in her head.
He...... He...... Shen Mutian, he actually hugged her!
Everyone was stunned.
Shen Mutian didn't care about other people's eyes at all, he just hugged the person in front of him tightly, and his heart was excited and happy, as well as a little sorry and a little grateful.
Thank God! Thank God for not taking her away, thank God for still sending her back to him, and now in his arms, it is not a phantom of nothingness, not a cold puppet, but a living person!
The warm breath passed through the thin clothes to his arms, the soft delicate body exuded a faint fragrance, his mood was agitated, and he almost couldn't wait to hold her all the time, never separate!
He suddenly felt that his nose was sour and his eyes were astringent, and he hurriedly tried to blink his eyes, driving those sourness out of his mind, and the man did not flick his tears lightly.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back......" He hugged her tightly, as if he couldn't say anything, and kept repeating this sentence, but there was a strong sense of gratitude. (To be continued......)
