Chapter 395: An Unexpected Companion
The three cicada-shaped clairvoyants flew back, that is, they disturbed the seven lamps and candles, and at this time they were dancing up and down in the air like bees, they belonged to Shen Jiyi, and they were not released for a long time, and they should not have come back so soon.
Shen Jiyi stretched out his right arm and let the three clairvoyants fall, and quickly understood the information they brought back, and said with a smile: "It really can't be more coincidental, there are a few Daoists from Asan and Wandi Mountain who are nearby." ”
A voice came, flickering far and near, but no one showed up, "Is there a fellow Daoist from Ranjing Mountain in front, please put away the magic weapon, we are fellow Daoists of Asan and Wandi Mountain." ”
Bai Yi Mu Xingqiu glanced at it, and after getting his approval, he put away the six lamps and candles, and still kept an inconspicuous candle, floating above the heads of several people.
Four Taoist priests walked out of the woods, their bodies were not dusty, and the messy grass and spider silk did not leave any traces on them. Shen Jiyi hurriedly stepped up to greet him, saluted several Taoist priests, obviously recognized these four people, turned around and introduced to Mu Xingqiu and the others: "This is Feng Dongchen, the chief furnace master of the Wandi Mountain Torrent Furnace Division, and this is Yang Chun, the furnace supervisor of the Wandi Mountain Torrent Furnace Division. ”
Feng Dongchen was dark and strong, his appearance was about forty years old, he really looked like a blacksmith wearing a Taoist robe, his eyes were like torches, people did not dare to meet him, he nodded reservedly, and did not speak. Another Taoist priest named Yang Chun was relatively young, short in stature, but his two arms were very long, almost hanging down to his knees, he was very familiar with Shen Jiyi, and he returned the salute warmly, smiling at Mu Xingqiu and the others.
Shen Jiyi first introduced outsiders, and then the two Taoist priests from Asan said, "This is Zhao Zhijin, the first seat of the Forbidden Secret Sect, and this is Liao Huayuan, a mixed master of the Five Elements Sect." ”
Shen Jiyi then introduced Mu Xingqiu and others, even the bald man Mu Songxuan in his backpack was no exception. The bald man had just traveled to various Taoist families, and recognized two low-level Taoist priests Yang Chun and Liao Huayuan as his listeners, and said with a smile: "Oh, I thought I could meet you in the imperial capital, it's a pity." ”
Not going to the imperial capital meant that he was not interested in the Demon Slaying Society, and he "disappointed" the bald man's hard lobbying at that time. The two of them smiled silently, neither of them willing to deal with a head.
The Forbidden Secret Department is relatively weak in Asan, and the first Zhao Zhijin is only a Xingluo Taoist, who is the oldest among everyone, with a clear face, like a literati who has read the classics, he doesn't care about others, he only looks at Mu Xingqiu, "I met again, I heard that the real illusion has left you." It's a pity. ”
Mu Xingqiu also remembered this person, when refining magic weapons and traveling around the Great Dao Systems, in order to wash off the spell mark for the bald man, he had to accept Ashan's conditions, practice boxing in front of the Forbidden Secret Taoist and summon the young demon, but a group of Taoist priests turned a blind eye to the young demon and were tricked by Zuo Liuying's illusion. At that time, the Asan Taoist priest who presided over the formation was Zhao Zhijin, the head of the forbidden secret department.
"The first seat is unharmed, I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest, and it's normal that I can't keep the real illusion. ”
Zhao Zhijin snorted. didn't say anything more, he and Wandi Mountain Feng Dongchen were both Xingluo Daoists, and they were reluctant to speak in front of low-level Taoists, but Yang Xian and Liao Huayuan were much more enthusiastic. "Recently, there have been a lot of people who have gone to the Old Ancestor Peak of Pang Mountain, and there are also a lot of demons who have sneaked out to find out information, so each Dao clan has taken turns to send people over to inspect, and we have been here for more than ten days. ”
Bai Tian asked suspiciously, "Huh." I detected a demon passing by a few days ago, why didn't you stop it?"
"We're just monitoring the movements of the demon clan, and as long as they don't do anything wrong, we'll let them go. So as not to startle the snake. Liao Huayuan explained.
The two groups of Taoist priests gathered together and introduced the situation to each other, and Ouyang Li, who was a cultivator, did not dare to squeak, stood on a rock dozens of steps away, and pretended to look to the west.
Liao Huayuan pointed to the back of the scattered cultivator and asked in a low voice: "Why do you take a casual cultivator with you? In recent years, many casual cultivators have taken refuge in the demon clan, and people like them are extremely untrustworthy. ”
Most of the casual cultivators who defected to the demon clan were forced to helplessly, and before Mu Xingqiu could speak, Shen Jiyi had already explained for him, "Because of this, bringing a casual cultivator can be used to disguise his identity." ”
Liao Huayuan didn't ask any more questions, the two sides chatted for a while, Liao Huayuan and Yang Chun were both Daoist priests of Fanxia, although they did not go to Huangjing, they were very interested in the Demon Slaying Society, and asked Mu Xingqiu about the east and west, no one else could interject in the words, so they could only listen to it on the side, and the two Xingluo Taoist priests stood farther away than Ouyang Li, talking in a low voice.
After a while, Feng Dongchen of Wandi Mountain beckoned to the low-level Taoist priests and motioned for everyone to come over, even Ouyang Qi.
"Zhao Daoyou and I decided to go to Old Ancestor Peak with you, get ready, and we'll set off later. ”
Suddenly there were four more companions, two of whom were also Xingluo Daoists, which was a great thing, but Mu Xingqiu faintly felt that it was inappropriate, and was trying to find an excuse to excuse himself, Xin Youtao spoke for him, he was wearing a seven-fold crown, and he did not perform the Taoist ceremony, but waved his hands, and said with a smile: "It would be great to have four Taoist priests join, but don't you have a task in your body?"
"There's nothing to do here, Yang Chun stays and hands over with the next group of Taoist priests who come to inspect, and everyone else goes to Old Ancestor Peak. ”
Feng Dongchen's black face made his sternness even more terrifying, Xin Youtao shook uneasily, but he didn't flinch, and continued to smile and said, "We have made a plan to disguise ourselves as a demon clan and blend in......"
Feng Dongchen's two eyebrows were raised, and Xin Youtao's persistence came to an end, snorting like a junior who had said the wrong thing, and his voice quickly lowered until it disappeared.
"The Dao system has not yet been reduced to relying on pretending to be a demon to hide people's eyes, with the two of us here, your little tricks can be saved. ”
Mu Xingqiu stepped forward and said, "I released some clairvoyance, and it's not too late to make a decision when they come back." ”
Feng Dongchen was very impatient with the low-level Taoist priest's pushing, "We have been monitoring here for more than ten days, and the movements within a radius of five hundred miles are clear, what do you want to know, let me tell you." ”
The scene was a little embarrassing, Mu Xingqiu and the others had learned the indifference and unfathomability of the senior Taoists, this was the first time to see the arrogance and domineering of one of them, Mu Xingqiu weighed for a moment, and saluted the two Xingluo Taoist priests, "In this case, I will listen to the arrangement of the two Taoists." ”
Feng Dongchen was a little relieved, "Clean up and set off in a quarter of an hour." ”
There are not many things, Xin Youtao deliberately grinded, and looked at Mu Xingqiu, and after a while he said loudly: "I'm about to enter Xijie Country, I have to write a letter to Huangjing, Mu Xingqiu." Aren't you going to give Shen Hao and them a briefing on the situation?"
"Well, I'll write that. ”
Xin Youtao secretly observed the reactions of the two Starfall Daoists, and found that they did not object, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart were not completely resolved, he quickly finished writing the letter and handed it to Mu Xingqiu, "You help me see if there is anything missing." ”
Xin Youtao's letter is very simple: these four people are waiting for us, it must be the news revealed by Shen Jiyi in advance. Do you think they can be trusted?
"That's pretty much it, let's wait until there is more news when we enter the Nishisuke country. Mu Xingqiu also wrote his own letter, briefly writing down the experience of "encountering" the four Taoist priests of Asan and Wandi Mountain, and deliberately emphasized that these four people claimed to have been patrolling the mountains more than ten days ago. This time is very important, because Mu Xingqiu and the others have only been away from the imperial capital for eight days, if Feng Dongchen and the others are already here, then this "chance encounter" may really be a coincidence, if not, Shen Hao and the others can find out.
Xin Youtao pretended to send a letter with a flying charm. After flying out of ten miles, it will automatically burn into ashes, and it will not be delivered to the princess at all, Mu Xingqiu really wants to deliver a letter and take out a copper coin with holes. Tie a multicolored string to it, crush the written letter, cast a spell into the copper coin, and release it.
This is known as the Phenom Copper Coin. Its flight speed is faster than that of an ordinary Taoist priest, and it will be directly transmitted to the designated person Shen Hao, because it is very small. It's hard to be intercepted.
Feng Dongchen and Zhao Zhijin were still discussing something in a whisper, and did not interfere with the low-level Taoist priests in writing and sending letters, looking at the paper talismans and copper coins that flew away, Xin Youtao relaxed a little, and smiled at Mu Xingqiu, saying that they might be too suspicious, and he really didn't want to have a dispute with the high-level Taoist.
"It's getting dark, it's the best time to sneak into the territory of the demon clan, let's go. Shen Jiyi said loudly, when everyone flew up one by one, he motioned to Mu Xingqiu to stay for the time being, "I know that the Demon Slayer Society doesn't like the interference of the high Taoist, but they make a request, we can't refuse, my idea is to wait until after the Old Ancestor Peak, let's find an excuse to separate, after all, they are going to find out about the demon, and we are looking for someone." ”
"You're right, let's wait until we get to Old Ancestor Peak, maybe with the help of the Starfall Daoist, things can be easier. ”
Shen Jiyi smiled, flew up with Mu Xingqiu, and chased after the people in front, only Yang Chun of Wandi Mountain stayed, watching everyone.
The spells of the Starfall Daoist were much more powerful, and several people, including Ouyang Qi, did not need to cast spells, and with the help of the power of Asan Zhao Zhijin, they could fly quickly, and Feng Dongchen of Wandi Mountain created an invisible shield to cover everyone's traces and spells.
Zhao Zhijin was really very familiar with the paths within a few hundred miles, and led everyone to fly zigzags, not encountering a single demon clan on the way, and even animals were rare.
Two hours later, the night covered all directions, and Xin Youtao whispered, "This is Pang Mountain." ”
It is still far from Lao Zu Peak, but the mountains below already belong to Pang Mountain and Xijie Kingdom, and now there are many hidden demons.
The flight speed of the Starfall Daoist was very fast, and the distance had been completed in the early morning of the next day, in a hidden mountain col, Mu Xingqiu received the first two clairvoyants to return, and the two Starfall Daoists decided to change the direction and fly to the northwest, although the detour, it was safer.
"My clairvoyance says that there is a group of demon clans moving to the northwest, should we investigate before moving forward?"
Feng Dongchen couldn't tolerate the opinions of low-level Taoist priests, "The route we took has been proven to be the safest, the demon clan is moving almost every day, if it is investigated every time, everyone will stay here and don't need to move." ”
With the Star Falling Taoist here, Mu Xingqiu lost the command of the team, so he could only obey the arrangement and release a few more clairvoyants to the northwest.
Everyone got back on the road, and Asan Zhao Zhijin's speed was faster, even surpassing the clairvoyance that was released before.
As the night approached, the Taoist priests encountered the first obstacle since entering the territory of the demon clan, they could no longer fly, and there were unclean qi and demon magic everywhere, so they could only go down and walk.
Soon after, on a bare mountain peak, the Taoist priests found the remains of a battlefield that had not long ended, and among the corpses of the demon clan, there were several blue-robed Taoist priests.
