Gao Mu He is a strong man in the late Jindan period, and he is in charge of Chiyang Peak.

In the Yunlan Dao Sect, Gao Muhe is also the confidant of the Great Elder.

Of course, Gao Muhe knew something about the Great Elder's past.

Among them, the Great Elder used the name of Lin Xu to cultivate the Dao Heart in the mortal dust, and then raised a tea tree.

At this time, the wooden branch that Zhang Li was holding in his hand was the branch of the tea tree.

Moreover, there is a strong demonic aura on it.

It seems that it is the opportunity left by the Great Elder that he has been immortal for three hundred years and has stepped into the foundation building realm.

Since it is the opportunity of the Great Elder, let's wait for the Great Elder to come back and make arrangements.

Gao Muhe, who was originally going to lure Zhang Li back to Chiyang Peak, changed his mind.

"Now that I'm back, the rewards that the sect should have will have."

"Practice well in the future, although you have been stumbling for three hundred years, you may not have a chance to move forward."

opened his mouth to encourage Zhang Li to say a few words, and Gao Muhe took out a small storage bag.

There were two pieces of jade slips in the storage bag, a stack of various talismans, a few bottles of pills, a talisman pen, some blank talismans, and various grades of spirit stones worth thousands of pieces.

"How can I be regarded as the lord of Chiyang Peak, I failed to protect you well at the beginning," Gao Muhe looked at Zhang Li, "This is compensation for you." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ancestor." Zhang Li did not refuse.

If Gao Muhe could have noticed Zhang Li's reminder at the beginning, then Zhang Li would not have to go to the mortal world for three hundred years.

At this time, the compensation he took out was to make himself feel at ease.

This compensation is not much, but it can be handled.

At least, if Zhang Li really returned from the mortal dust where materials were scarce, these things could be used.

Zhang Li walked out of Gao Muhe's cabin, and Zhu Hao, who was not far away, was already waiting there.

"Senior brother, these little rabbit cubs are disrespectful to you, you want to fight and kill at will." Zhu Hao stretched out his hand and pointed to the few disciples who bowed to the side, not daring to raise their heads.

Zhang Li's gaze turned to a few people.

It was they who used language to provoke Zhang Li at that time, and asked Zhang Li to change Zhu Hao's return.

"Uncle Shi, we know that we are wrong." The young man in the lead hurriedly spoke.

Others are also low-minded and admit their mistakes.

Zhang Li naturally couldn't kill these guys.

Not only can you not kill, but you also have to give gifts.

He reached out and took out a few talismans from the storage bag that Gao Muhe had given him just now.

"What's wrong with you?" He handed the talisman to several people.

"Practice well, only your own cultivation is fundamental."

After speaking, he nodded to Zhu Hao, turned around and walked back to his cabin.

The disciples who had obtained the talisman in their hands glanced at each other.

In their opinion, Zhang Li said such things just now because he returned from this trip, felt his own lack of strength, and felt humiliated in his heart for these things he encountered.

In the mortal world, Zhang Li's cultivation is at least an ancestor, but when he returns to the cultivation world, his cultivation is far less than Zhu Hao, the junior brother of the year.

How can there be balance in the heart?

Zhu Hao shook his head and glared at the disciples around him.

"Go back and practice well, cultivation is the foundation."

……

The flying boat moves forward, crossing the mountains and rivers.

When the flying boat paused lightly, Zhang Li woke up from the silence and slowly got up.

Straightening his clothes, he stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck.

In the distance, the mountain peaks rise into the sky.

The fairy light is swirling, and the aura is shining.

Stretching mountains and forests, cascading buildings and palaces.

Yunlan Mountain.

Yunlan Dao Sect.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, Zhang Li's mind came to mind when he left.

Those people at the beginning, except for Zhu Yunshan, are gone.

The handsome or charming figure disappeared from this world.

Hand in hand with Hongchen, there is only one person to return.

"I'm back." Zhang Li whispered softly.

There seemed to be a strange power quietly vibrating on him.

The wonder of this power made Gao Muhe, who was not far away, turn his head.

It's just that he didn't find anything really special about Zhang Li.

Ahead, dozens of streamers flew in.

"Deacon Xu Qiao of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Yunlan Dao Sect has seen Elder Gao."

"It is said that Uncle Zhang Li, who took over the task of guarding the town, has returned, and my Foreign Affairs Hall has come to greet him."

A group of green-robed Taoists lined up in front and saluted the flying boat.

This is a necessary respect for the return of the mortal mission.

Zhang Li took a few steps forward and raised his hand to return the salute.

The flying boat guided, the deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall greeted each other, and the disciples of the Yunlan Dao Sect who met along the way all turned back in surprise.

"The return of the mission of guarding the mortal dust, tsk, it's really fateful." Someone looked at Zhang Li with a hint of disdain on his face.

"Three hundred years of guarding the task, I'm afraid this is a big opportunity." Someone's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Li didn't squint, and followed the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall to walk quickly.

Before reaching the tall jade door number, Zhang Li stood still.

The four big characters of Yunlan Dao Sect were still shining with golden light.

The disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall understood Zhang Li's feelings at this time, and they did not urge.

After Zhang Li stood in front of the mountain gate and remembered enough, he continued to move forward and entered the mountain gate.

In the past three hundred years, the Yunlan Dao Sect has not changed much, but it has prospered a lot.

There are more buildings along the way, there are more disciples, and the cultivation of disciples is also stronger.

At least he sensed a lot of foundation building realms casually.

In the past, all the deacons in the foundation realm were there, so how could they have time to wander around the mountain gate.

Gao Muhe led a group of rescue masters to leave, and Zhu Hao also went to reply to the mission.

Zhang Li went to the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the person who presided over it had already changed a few times.

Simply tell your 300-year experience, and then record it in a jade slip and count it as retention, and the task is complete.

As long as you can come back alive, it doesn't matter if you do anything else.

Many deacons from the Foreign Affairs Hall came to see Zhang Li, and two of them were at the outer gate at the same time as Zhang Li, but they had never met.

Goodbye at this time, a lot of sighs.

For the settlement of Zhang Li's task rewards, the sect used to have a convention.

However, now that the Yunlan Dao Sect is prosperous, the reward of only a thousand spirit stones in the past is really unreachable.

Several deacons discussed, and then handed Zhang Li a jade plaque.

With this jade plate, you can exchange it for a high-grade magic weapon, as well as various materials worth 8,000 spirit stones.

This adds up to more than 10,000 spirit stones.

It can be seen that the current Yunlan Dao Sect is really prosperous and rich.

After receiving the jade plaque, Zhang Li asked about the small courtyard where he lived back then, and several deacons of the Foreign Affairs Hall flipped through the roster of the disciples living in the door, and unexpectedly the small courtyard was still under Zhang Li's name.

"There is a fellow disciple named Zuo Qiong who has been paying the living expenses of the courtyard."

Although the place where the disciples live on Yunlan Mountain is cheap, they also need to pay fees.

Especially after the expansion layer by layer, the small courtyard where Zhang Li used to live is already the core location of the mountain gate.

The aura there is much richer than at the mountain gate.

"Zuo Qiong......" Zhang Li whispered.

The name, he had forgotten for a long time.

At the beginning of Yunlan Mountain, because of a certain intersection, there were some scandals with Zuo Qiong.

It's just that three hundred years have changed, and that little thing that doesn't matter has long been forgotten.

"Senior Brother Zhang Li, after you complete the task of guarding the town, you can directly become an inner disciple, and you can go directly to the inner sect hall to receive your identity token and robes."

"Complete the town guard task, you don't need to take on the sect task in the past ten years, you can repair in the sect."

The deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall who spoke handed back Zhang Li's identity jade plate and spoke softly.

The Zhenshou disciple who came back from the mortal world alive is also rare.

After taking the jade plaque, Zhang Li arched his hand and left the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Walking slowly, the scenery along the way is still the same, but the disciple's demeanor is much more high-spirited than three hundred years ago.

Cultivation, spirit and spirit are extremely vigorous.

Since the Great Elder of the Yunlan Dao Sect broke through to the Yuanying Realm more than two hundred years ago and became the first Yuanying Realm overhaul on Luyang Continent, the momentum of the entire Yunlan Dao Sect has become more and more different.

In the past two hundred years, the sects have flourished, and many strong people have emerged, and the elites of the Jindan Realm and the Foundation Building Realm are even more powerful than the Quartet Sects.

Zhang Li walked slowly, no one around him knew him, and no one looked at him more.

When they arrived at the location of the disciples of the outer sect of the back mountain, several streams of light flashed against the low clouds.

There is a Jindan realm and a foundation building realm in that streamer, and there is still a trace of smoke and dust and evil aura on his body, obviously returning from completing the task outside the sect.

The streamer above his head flashed and flew away in the direction of the main hall at the top of the mountain.

The leading Jin Dan Realm's body suddenly paused, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Zhang Li.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" A black-robed Taoist spoke in a low voice.

"I saw that person just now, it seems, I saw ...... three hundred years ago" The Jindan Realm cultivator whispered, and then frowned, "Back then, it seemed that he was guarding the mortal dust—"

Speaking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the Jindan Realm cultivator: "It is said that the Demon Suppression Pagoda of the Earth Immortal Realm in the mortal dust world has re-entered the cultivation world, and he may know about this." ”

Hearing the words of the Jindan cultivator, the black-robed Daoist was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Is this the matter we are pursuing?" ”

"Then we'll take him—"

The Jindan Realm cultivator waved his hand, turned around and flew away in the direction of the main hall of the Yunlan Dao Sect.

"Don't worry, report this matter to the sect master and the elders first."

"The matter of the Demon Suppression Tower is a big deal, and the little town guard disciple is nothing, and he is not qualified to be involved in that matter."

……

Zhang Li walked along the mountain road, crossed several hills, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is a little mottled outside.

In Zhang Li's opinion, it is very kind.

At that time, he lived in this small courtyard for three years.

Walking to the half-hidden courtyard gate, he hesitated slightly.

Zuo Qiong lives here?

What does the old man who hasn't seen him for 300 years look like now?

Gently pushing open the door, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in the courtyard trembled and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Who are you?"

"Who let you in?"

"Get out!"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and push Zhang Li out of the small courtyard.

Hearing the girl's voice, two figures rushed out from the direction of the small courtyard.

A gray-robed miscellaneous female cultivator and a green-robed Taoist who was an outer disciple, both of them were in their early forties, with panic on their faces.

"The place where the outer disciples of the Yunlan Dao Sect live must not trespass, you have broken the rules."

The green-robed Taoist stared at Zhang Li and clenched his fists.

The miscellaneous nun was a little frightened, standing behind and protecting the girl beside her.

Zhang Li's gaze swept over the three people in front of him, and his eyes revealed doubts.

The cultivation of the three people in front of him was so thin that there was almost nothing, and they could only be regarded as beginners in Qi training.

This kind of cultivation is qualified to live here?

"Why are you here?"

"Where is Zuo Qiong?"

Zhang Li's faint words made the miscellaneous female cultivators and outer disciples all look drastically changed.

The girl took a step back, her face pale.

Zhang Li frowned.

There is no Zuo Qiong in the small courtyard.

I didn't even sense the breath of a Qi Practitioner who was above the fifth layer.

The looks of the three people in front of him made Zhang Li unhappy.

He snorted, a hint of coercion emanating from his body.

The three figures trembled and fell to the ground.

"Tell me why you're here."

There was already a trace of divine soul power emitted from this sentence, making the three of them look sluggish.

"I, we are, arranged by my aunt and grandmother, and live here......"

The Taoist in the blue robe of the outer door whispered blankly.

They are the descendants of the Zuoqiong family.

At the beginning, Zuo Qiong lived here, and after practicing to build the foundation in half a step, he could no longer advance an inch, even if he extended his life for decades, he failed to break through the foundation.

There was no hope of cultivation, Zuo Qiong recruited the juniors of the family, firstly, to send some of the resources in his hands, and secondly, to let them garrison in this courtyard.

"My grandmother said when she sat down, let's keep the news of her fall secret, and wait for the owner of the yard to return."

"Otherwise, she said, this yard would have been given to someone else......

"Over the years, we have lived for a long time, and we are reluctant to leave the yard, so we have not left."

The trembling words revealed helplessness.

Zuo Qiong's cultivation was unable to inch and then fell, and the junior cultivation qualifications were poor, and he didn't even have the qualifications to become a formal outer disciple.

In this family of four, only one eldest son has a little qualification, and he does some low-level miscellaneous work in the outer gate.

If it weren't for the resources left by Zuo Qiong, they wouldn't have been able to survive here at all.

Standing in place, Zhang Li groaned slightly.

Take a look around, it's really neat.

"Get up."

He whispered.

Zuo Qiong helped him leave this courtyard, and finally did not wait for him to return.

Back then, it was just a love that was not a sentiment, but it was missed after all.

"I'm going to pay homage to Zuo Qiong."

In the end, Zhang Li did not drive the family away.

After all, this is the one who lives in this small courtyard for the longest.

Zuo Lin, Lu Shi, their daughter Zuo Yue, and the teenager who hurried back, Zuo Leng.

Only Zuo Leng's cultivation in their family has reached the first level of qi training, and he is still the first to enter the first layer.

According to what Zuo Lin said, in order to allow Zuo Leng's cultivation to step into the first level of Qi cultivation, they almost exhausted the resources in their hands.

Zhang Li's wing room is still there, and it is clean.

The fish swimming in the fish pond in the small courtyard are not what they used to be, but they are still quiet and comfortable.

Let Zuo Lin take his identity jade card to the Foreign Affairs Hall to report, and in the future, the four members of the Zuo family will be regarded as their own entourage and miscellaneous disciples.

Zhang Li is a foundation building realm, and is qualified to recruit retinue disciples and miscellaneous disciples.

Zuo Lin took the jade card in surprise, and the Lu family behind him wiped his tears with joy.

They have been stationed here all these years, but they are actually frightened, and they act like thieves every day, for fear of being driven down the mountain.

It is still light to drive them down the mountain, and if such acts are severely punished, I am afraid they will all have to shed their skin.

Now that Zhang Li admits that they exist, they can live here in a bright and bright way.

"Zuo Yue, you hurry up and boil water and make tea for the master."

"Zuo Leng, you quit those tasks, and concentrate on being an entourage for your master in the future."

The four members of the Zuo family have a kind of sudden openness to see the sun and the moon.

Zhang Li looked at the fish pond in front of him, and was in a trance for a while.

It's like 300 years of mortal guarding, it's a dream.

Now, the dream has woken up.

"Hum—"

A streamer rune flew down in front of him.

Reaching out to take it, a smile appeared on his face.

Zhu Hao wanted to bring those outer disciples from the past to visit.
