Chapter 870: Meet Yan Huan Again, Mysterious Old Man
Gu Yan smiled and said: "Yan Huan Xiaodao, I haven't seen you for a long time, when I was separated in Weidu, I was still a little worried about you, but now it seems that you are living a much more nourishing life than I imagined." β
The young man said with a bitter face: "Where have I been moisturized, I was caught by a demon girl back then, if I hadn't run fast, I would have almost been eaten by her as a sacrifice." Over the years, you've been a lot more beautiful. I'm in Mengding Mountain, and I've always heard people say your name. β
This teenager is naturally Yan Huan. The little Taoist priest that Gu Yan met in Qiyun Mountain back then deceived Gu Yan with a fake tripod, but he didn't expect that the fake that he used to deceive was a real Jiuzhi tripod, which made Gu Yan pick up such a big bargain.
Later, the two fought side by side together, and then Gu Yan left Weidu, in front of the Meridian Valley, she saw Yan Huan drifting down the water, she wanted to save it, and fell into the underground palace of the Meridian Valley, and then there was no trace of Yan Huan. I only heard that he was rescued by Master Lingshuzi, and since then, the two have always been close to each other.
Now it seems that he is still the same as he was back then, there is no change in appearance, but his figure has gradually grown, and there is a little more heroic between his eyebrows, but the sly smile that he inadvertently showed can still make Gu Yan recall the little Taoist who liked to play clever back then.
However, he was only a small Taoist servant in the Qi refining period back then, and now he has become a real person in the Dan Formation Period. Gu Yan pursed his lips and smiled: "You just held your waist to train people, but you are also quite imposing." β
Yan Huan said with a bitter face: "How can I have any momentum, I was caught poorly, there is no way." β
Gu Yanqi said: "What's the difference with being caught?" β
Yan Huan said: "Isn't it true that a large number of monks have poured into the Central Plains recently. The head of the Danding faction gave an order. Let's gather these monks here. Try to keep them in the territory and don't put them in Tianyun Prefecture. β
Gu Yan said with a smile: "Yuding Zhenren is really compassionate this time." "The relationship between her and the Danding faction is actually very unharmonious, the two sides have clashed more than once, and Gu Yan has personally killed Han Qianyu and Shen Mengli, these two Huayan's beloved disciples, probably in the Danding faction. She can talk and laugh freely, and there is no taboo, and Yan Huan is the only one.
Yan Huan pursed his lips and said: "It's not the decision of the head of the family, this is the decree of Patriarch Huayan, and everyone must listen to it." Actually, I don't want to do this kind of thing, you look at their scared looks, you should make them suffer something. β
Gu Yan didn't want to mention this matter again, so he waved his hand and said, "Last time you were in the Ice Moon Palace, you saved Xiao Yu. I haven't thanked you yet. β
Yan Huan waved his hand very loudly, "What is this?" It's just a small thing, we're like-minded, good brothers! He asked curiously, "Did you go to find that old woman to release Yingzi too?" β
When Gu Yan heard him call the Ice Moon Fairy "old woman", she couldn't help but want to laugh, "It was me who had a fight with Bingyue before she agreed to let her go." β
Yan Huan's eyes widened, "Oh my God, you must have subdued her." That woman, but she has always had eyes on the top of her head, even my master, she doesn't necessarily pay attention to it, but she can be defeated by you, you are really powerful like this now. β
He lowered his head, and his toes kept drawing small circles on the ground, "When I met you back then, everyone was in the Qi refining period, weishenme You rose so fast, I could only wander in the early stage of Jindan, it was really miserable." β
Gu Yan smiled: "I was injured at the time and returned from the Jindan Period, can you compare with me?" Besides, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to get the cultivation weapon of Jiuzhiding. Isn't there a credit for this? β
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Yan Huan's face turned white all of a sudden, he jumped up quickly, looked around, and found that there was no one, so he went to cover Gu Yan's mouth, "Don't publicize this matter, now they don't know the origin of the Nine Peaks Ding in your hand, they only know that it was inherited from the Biling Fairy, if you know, this Ding was the earliest, and it flowed out of my hands, then it didn't make me skin and cramp." At that time, even Master couldn't save me. β
Gu Yan hahadaxiao got up and said, "I don't know how far your Dan Dao has been refined?" I think you won't have any breakthroughs in your cultivation, so let's focus on the Dan Dao, if you can really find a different way and become your own family, you will also become a Dan Dao master in the future. β
Yan Huan said with a bitter face: "Don't be sarcastic about me anymore, okay, it was my idea that was too naΓ―ve back then, Dan Dao is the same as cultivation, with the right combination, with the odd victory, blindly ingenious, unique, after all, it will not become the Great Dao." β
Gu Yan smiled, his face was grim, "If you can think like this, you can understand it very well." In the eyes of others, although the Dan Dao is a small way, but the secret combination of heaven and earth, yin and yang creation, is not necessarily worse than the way of cultivation, what you thought back then, is not bad, but you still need a foundation, in the future, when the foundation arrives, you can naturally realize the Tao. β
Yan Huan bowed and said, "Be taught!" He was also very serious when he was speaking.
At this time, on the other side, there was a "pop" high-five, and an old Taoist priest with a crane-haired face and a red face came over, and he laughed loudly and said: "I have heard that Fairy Gu is a Dan Daoist master for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." β
Gu Yan smiled and arched his hand at him, "This is the Lingshu Dao Master?" β
When she went to participate in the Danding Sect Festival, she had seen most of the seven yuan babies of the Danding Sect, but this Lingshu had not seen it, and he did not attend at that time.
Lingshuzi daxiao said: "I was ordered by the head of the sect to patrol around, and by the way, I came to see my little apprentice, and I overheard a high talk from the fairy, and I really benefited a lot." β
Gu Yan said with a smile: "Dao Chief's words are too humble. β
Lingshuzi shook his head, "Jindan Avenue is as broad as the sea, exhausting the strength of a person's life, and it may not be able to understand a few points, after the old Tao is married, there is less alchemy, because when refining the pill, I often feel panicked, for fear that the technique will deviate slightly, but it will violate the principle of heaven and earth." β
Gu Yan muttered: "The Dan Dao cultivated by the Dao Master seems to be the same as the ancestral method of the Danding Sect. Different? β
She guessed right. Lingshuzi's Dan Dao. Most of them come from self-realization, and it is not completely consistent with the domineering Dan Dao of the general Danding faction and the Dan Dao of forcing Dan power, but he is accustomed to the Danding faction, and after a long time, it is unlikely that he wants to make a difference. Therefore, after getting married, he fell into a bottleneck of Dan Dao. Because of this, he has never broken through to the realm of Yuanzhong.
However, he is free and easy, and he doesn't care about these things, and he has few friends in the sect, and his disciples are only Yan Huan, and the future Lingshu Peak will be passed on to Yan Huan. Therefore, he has a good relationship with Yan Huan. will also feel close, and Gu Yan is one of them.
When he heard Gu Yan's words, he asked: "I heard that the Bixia Sect has always inherited the Dan Dao of the Biling Fairy, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go up to Danxia Mountain to meet and discuss the Tao with all the Taoist friends." β
Gu Yan smiled silently, the Dan Dao of the Biling Fairy, she is the only one who really has to be passed on, even Zhang Daniu, who has already married a baby, but she has only got seventy percent, but it is just Lingshuzi's idea, it is inevitable that she is a little taken for granted, with her relationship with the Danding faction, although she has not reached the point of tearing her face, but if you want to sit and talk like a good friend, there is basically no hope.
However, she didn't want to refute Lingshuzi's words, and said with a smile: "If there is a chance, Gu Yan should be on Danding Mountain, waiting for everyone." β
Lingshuzi smiled, he also felt that Gu Yan didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as he imagined. He usually lives in Mengding Mountain, can be called a Dan idiot, for the situation in Cangwu, the relationship between the Bixia Sect and the Danding faction, the understanding is not very clear, for those who are good at Dan Dao, as soon as they meet, they will be introduced as confidants, otherwise, most of them are like strangers, therefore, although Gu Yan's attitude is not enthusiastic, he does not care, but is happy to say: "If there is a chance, I will definitely visit!" After saying that, he asked Yan Huan to stay here, and he continued to fly around to patrol.
Yan Huan suddenly seemed to remember something and waved his hand, as if he was about to say something, but Zuihou stopped again. He said a little stupidly: "Forget it, it's better not to tell him about this matter." β
Gu Yan looked at this pair of masters and apprentices and felt very interesting, the relationship between the two of them could be regarded as a pair of outliers among masters and apprentices.
She smiled and said, "What bad things are you going to do again, you want to hide from your master, do you want to sneak outside alone?" β
Yan Huan was very dissatisfied and said: "Hey, how can there be such a thing, I'm not a child now, okay?" He whispered, "I met my uncle nearby a few days ago, and I don't know if I should mention this matter to my master." β
Gu Yan was surprised: "Your uncle, is that zodiac chief?" β
"Hmm." Yan Huan nodded and said, "You should also remember that he also helped you repair the formation diagram." β
Gu Yan's brows gradually furrowed, and his face became serious, "Where did you meet him?" β
Yan Huan pointed to the southwest with his hand, "There is a forest there, I was there a few days ago, and I met him collecting medicine." β
Gu Yan said: "Your senior uncle, did you practice with your master in the Danding Sect before?" β
Yan Huan was a little strange, he didn't know why Gu Yan paid so much attention to the Zodiac people, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "My uncle, in fact, has not practiced in the Danding Sect for a long time, probably more than ten years, but at that time, my master was still very inconspicuous in the Danding Sect, my ancestor, at that time, was just a small Jiedan monk, and the Dan Dao he cultivated was different from the mainstream of the Danding Sect, so there were not many disciples who worshiped under him, and later they changed to other monks. Zuihou is left with my master and uncle. However, Uncle Shi's qualifications on the Dan Road are very ordinary, and after cultivating for more than ten years, he has not cultivated any famous halls, so he invited himself down the mountain. I heard that he traveled around Cangwu for a long time, and then settled in Weidu, but it was not a few decades, and then we had a fight in Weidu, and then he left, and then no one knew where he went. My master talked about him a while ago. β
Yue Yu said curiously: "Then you don't tell him the news?" β
Yan Huan scratched his head, "Actually, I think it's very good for Uncle Shi to be like this, if my master hears the news of him, he will arrest him back and let him practice penance in the Danding faction." That's what my master is like, and he always thinks it's good for others, but I think. Uncle Shi probably doesn't like this kind of life. β
Gu Yan nodded. "Uncle Ling is a strange man. Maybe this kind of life is really more suitable for him. β
Yan Huan smiled, "I knew that only you understood me better, and that was the case back then." You're a celebrity now, but I think you're still the same as before, haven't changed much. β
Gu Yan smiled: "What has changed is a foreign object." What does not change, only the heart. β
Yan Huan nodded silently, "Okay, I'm going to continue to patrol around, and when I have time in the future, I'll go to Danxia Mountain to see you, okay?" β
Gu Yan nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, you will summon me." Yan Huan arched his hand to them. And he flew through the air.
Yue Yu tilted his head and said, "He's really an interesting person." β
Gu Yan said "um", "They are master and apprentice." In fact, they are all people with a very real temperament, and places like the Danding faction are actually not suitable for them. β
met Yan Huan halfway, but it was just a small episode, and then she said: "Let's not go south for the time being, I'm going to go there to see!" β
Gu Yan flew towards the forest that Yan Huan instructed, and when a large number of monks fled along the way, the movement of the four of them was not conspicuous, and Gu Yan quietly came to the outside of the forest. This is a forest of red maple trees, the leaves are all dyed with a layer of red frost, under the reflection of the setting sun, it looks particularly beautiful, Gu Yan looked around, and said, "You wait here, I'll take a look first." β
Lin Ying nodded and led them to wait outside the woods, while Gu Yan slowly entered the woods.
She said aloud, "Can the zodiac chief be here?" β
Her voice, far away, stirred up countless echoes in the woods, but no one answered.
Gu Yan frowned, as soon as she raised her hand, the Zhu Yan mirror had already been taken in her hand, and she swiped it on the mirror with her hand a few times, and a layer of murderous aura suddenly filled the entire forest.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Dao Chief, if you don't come out again, be careful that I raze all this forest to the ground!" β
A violent coughing sound came from not far away, "Cough, cough." I know that you, a girl, have always been ruthless and ruthless, and my old bones can't help your tossing. β
Gu Yan smiled, the bushes in front of her had already separated to both sides at this time, revealing an old Taoist figure in a shabby robe from inside, it was the zodiac man, and it didn't look like there was any change from when he was separated in Weidu.
Gu Yan looked at this somewhat familiar figure, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, we haven't seen each other for many years, right?" β
The zodiac man coughed a few times, "Yes, it has been more than three hundred years since the Wei Capital was separated. β
Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, "I'm not right, I think it's just a hundred years, didn't we meet again when we were in Qiyun Mountain?" β
Speaking of Zuihou's words, her voice suddenly became cold, "The person who appeared in the Spirit Garden back then took away the bones of the old man, isn't it?" β
Back then, the Demon Gate flourished in the southeast, Gu Yan went to save people and took away all the disciples who stayed in Qiyun Mountain, and then, she went to remove the bones of Rong Lao, but she was a step too late, someone grabbed ahead of her and took away Rong Lao's bones, so that Gu Yan only saw a back.
At that time, Gu Yan only felt that the back was a little familiar, and it wasn't until she met Yan Huan today that she remembered that that back was not the zodiac man in front of her?
The zodiac man smiled bitterly, "You have discovered this. He nodded, "Yes, that person is me." In fact, Rong Lao and I have known each other for many years, and the elixir he took back then was still something I helped him refine. After he died, I often went to his grave to pay respects, and then the group of demon cubs wreaked havoc in the southeast, and I was afraid that his grave would be damaged, so I went ahead and removed his bones. β
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Then where did Your Excellency put his bones?" β
The zodiac man said: "I have placed his bones in the far north, under the glacier, and will be immortal for ten thousand years." You can also go and worship. β
Gu Yan smiled, "I have always regarded the elder Rong as a parent, and I am very grateful for what the Taoist chief has done, thank you here." β
The zodiac man breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, "Is this what the fairy called me for?" If there is nothing else to do, I have important things to do, so I will take my leave. β
He nodded slightly towards Gu Yan. Then he turned around and walked away.
Gu Yan's brows furrowed slightly. Once again, she saw the Zodiac. I always feel a little weird, but I can't think of where.
That time in Qiyun Mountain, in fact, it was just a glimpse, she didn't see the face of the zodiac man, and now it seems that he is no different from what he saw in Weidu City back then.
Wrong!
Gu Yan suddenly woke up, this is the biggest strangeness.
When Gu Yan saw the Zodiac back then. She just reverted to the cultivation of the foundation building period, at that time, in her eyes, the zodiac man was an ordinary monk, but after hundreds of years, she looked at the zodiac again, and there was no change.
But compared to back then, Gu Yan has now become a Yuanying, if the zodiac is just an ordinary monk, then all these years. His longevity was exhausted, how could it be that the aura in his body had not changed at all. It's like the passage of time in these hundreds of years has not been reflected in him at all.
She quickly looked into the distance, where the zodiac man was walking unhurriedly, but his figure was already out of Gu Yan's sight, Gu Yan shouted: "zhanzhu! β
She single-handedly destroyed the Dinghai Pearl, the power of the twenty-four heavens and stars, pressed towards the zodiac, and the whirlwind rolled up on the flat ground flew like a knife, instantly breaking the top of this forest.
The zodiac stood there dumbfounded, countless meteorites fell from the top of his head, and large areas of trees were shaken into powder, but his body was not harmed in the slightest.
He let out a long sigh and turned his head.
Although his appearance has not changed much, he still has the same pale and wrinkled face, but his momentum has become very different. If before, he was just a bland and slightly obscene little monk, then now, standing there casually, he has already shown a great grandmaster's temperament.
He looked at Gu Yan and smiled bitterly, "After all, I didn't hide it from your eyes." I don't know, where the flaw is? β
Gu Yan said coldly: "Because you are really good at covering it up, don't you think that after so many years of not seeing each other, your image is still the same as before, is this a kind of wrong in itself?" β
The zodiac man suddenly patted his forehead, "I see." In fact, I can't be blamed for this, because many people will not be as impressed with me as you are, my senior brother, will not notice this, Yan Huan, that little guy, his cultivation is not good, and he can't see this. Only you, you, a freak who has cultivated all the way from the Qi Refining Period to the Yuan Zhong in only a few hundred years, can see through my disguise. β
Gu Yan said: "If I guess correctly, Your Excellency's cultivation should not be under me, right?" β
The Dinghai Pearls suspended in the air were not taken away by her, Gu Yan chanted the magic in a low voice, and suddenly, twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were split into two halves in the air, and forty-eight sword qi burst out, and the sword qi in the sky fell like inches, as if in the dense forest, a whirlwind was rolled, countless red leaves danced in the air, and under the agitation of the sword qi, they were instantly rolled into a cloud of broken powder, and countless sword qi converged into one point, and it had fallen towards the top of the head of the zodiac man.
The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, making a slight sound in the air, and all the spiritual energy had been sucked out by the sword qi.
He spread his hands, smiled bitterly, and looked at the sword qi that had already flown above his head, "I've already explained everything, why do you want to kill them all?" β
His hands made a gesture imperceptibly, as if he had been silently opened in the void, and all the sword qi was discharged along this opening, and it didn't affect him at all.
Gu Yan's brows furrowed slightly, at this moment, the feeling that the zodiac man gave her was unfathomable, just like the owner of the lotus pond that day, with an understatement, he lifted his weight lightly, and resolved the dispute between her and Bingyue.
The cultivation of the zodiac people may not be under the master of the lotus pond!
The sword qi she aroused at this moment almost razed the entire forest to the ground, Lin Ying and the others also clearly saw the movement inside, they all saw the zodiac man standing in the center, and exclaimed at the same time: "Uncle, is it you?" β
