Lin Ran looked at Master Shuiyue, let out a long sigh and said, "Eh, there is something you may not know, Daoyangzi's predecessor has already returned to heaven......"

When Master Shuiyue heard this, his face was full of shock and said, "Brother Lin is serious?

Lin Ran said regretfully: "It's true, I came to Taibai Mountain this time for this purpose." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when the surrounding Nanzong disciples heard the news, their faces were bloodless, and they began to talk about it.

I only heard one disciple step forward and say, "Senior Brother Shuiyue, wouldn't our Southern Sect suffer even more if we have one less elder in the future?"

Master Shuiyue sighed: "Eh, it's really his grandmother's, let's go back to the sect master first and then make a decision...... After speaking, he sped up his pace and walked towards the mountain.

There are four main peaks in Taibai Mountain, and Tiantai Nanzong is located on one of the main peaks. Lin Ran followed Master Shuiyue all the way along the mountain road, and it didn't take long for him to come halfway up the mountain. There is a temple standing on the mountainside, the surrounding terrain is flat, there are many traces of artificial excavation, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the heavy building is a rare quiet place, here is the dojo of Nanzong.

At this time, in front of the mountain gate, there were two disciples guarding the door, and when they saw Master Shuiyue, they hurriedly ran over, and said respectfully: "I've seen Senior Brother Shuiyue!"

Master Shuiyue patted the two of them on the shoulder and laughed, "It's hard work, please eat meat another day!"

The two disciples smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.

The inside of the temple is very large, and it is divided into three main halls and seven side halls. After entering the mountain gate, Master Shuiyue took Lin Ran to the courtyard on the right and turned straight to a side hall, where there were two stone lions outside the side hall, which looked a little nondescript.

Master Shuiyue pointed ahead and said to Lin Ran: "This is where the sect master sits quietly on weekdays, after entering, remember to speak loudly, he is old, sometimes he can't hear clearly......"

"Okay!" Lin Ran nodded and followed Master Shuiyue inside.

The furnishings in the side hall are very simple, except for a large Dan furnace at the door, there is nothing else around. This Dan furnace is about two meters high, the style is simple, and there are some quaint patterns carved on it, which looks a little old.

The Dan furnace was steaming hot at this time, and it should be boiling something. Not far away, there are several cushions scattered, and on one of the cushions, there is an old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest has white hair, a sallow face, and his eyes seem to be open, looking like he is going to die......

Lin Ran looked at the old Taoist's dress, secretly frightened. This Tiantai Sect is really varied, Master Shuiyue is a monk, why is the sect master an old Taoist, even if there is an internal split, Taoist monks and monks are mixed together to practice, which is rare.

Master Shuiyue bowed to the old Taoist priest and said, "Master, the messenger of the Imperial Sword Gate asks to see you." ”

The old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Ran lightly, and said slowly, "What's the matter?"

Lin Ran stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly: "Back to the seniors, the Ancient Tea Horse Road has suddenly changed recently, the senior of the Daoyangzi of your sect has unfortunately died, and the disciple has been ordered to come here to report the news......" After speaking, he secretly glanced at the old Taoist priest and waited for his reaction.

What I didn't expect was that the old Taoist priest's face did not change, he was very calm, and he only heard him say lightly: "Got it, go down, Shui Yue, greet this little brother well." ”

Master Shuiyue said respectfully, "Obey!" and then glanced at Lin Ran.

Seeing this, Lin Ran followed him out of the meditation room......

Master Shuiyue led the way in front and took Lin Ran to the side hall to rest, and the two chatted again along the way.

Lin Ran asked curiously, "Is that the one just now the sect master of the Southern Sect?"

Master Shuiyue nodded and said, "Exactly, in addition, there are two elders in our Southern Sect, both of whom have broken through the Yuanying realm, but now they are missing an arm, and it seems that they are going to suffer......"

Lin Ran saw his eyes flickering, and his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "What is the difficulty of Master Fei? If there is something useful, I am willing to serve."

Master Shuiyue pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Eh, don't hide it from Brother Lin, every year our Southern Sect and Northern Sect will have a competition on Taibai Mountain, all elders above the Yuan Infant Stage are eligible to choose a disciple of their own sect to participate, in previous years, the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect each had three disciples, we are still not their opponents, this year there is one less elder, I am afraid that there will be less ...... of evil."

Lin Ran said: "Is there any benefit to winning the competition?"

Master Shuiyue said: "It will not take a while for a thick layer of ice to form in the cave mansion, and the aura of this ice is extremely rich, and it is the best material for alchemy. In order to mine these ice layers, the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect agreed to open the Xuansu Cave Mansion once a year, and how much they can grab depends on their ability......"

Lin Ran pretended to be curious and said, "Wouldn't it be better to send a powerful elder to go?"

Master Shuiyue laughed and said, "Haha, I originally wanted to sell a pass." In fact, there is a powerful spatial barrier at the entrance of this cave, which was left by Master Xuansu. If the Yuan Infant Monk wants to enter, the formation will be activated, and if it is a Yuan Infant or less monk, he can enter and exit at will......"

Lin Ran looked at Master Shuiyue suspiciously and said, "Could it be that Master Fei has deliberately suppressed cultivation over the years?"

Master Shuiyue said: "Brother Lin is really observant! Not only me, but also several disciples of the Northern Sect who deliberately suppressed cultivation because they didn't want to give up the mysteries of the cave mansion, and the man who fought with me at the foot of the mountain just now was one of them. ”

Lin Ran said: "In addition to those alchemy spiritual power ice layers in this cave mansion, what else is there that deserves so much attention from the two factions?"

Speaking of this, Master Shuiyue was also at a loss, and sighed: "I don't know, every time we go in, we are going around the periphery, and we have no way to go deep into the core of the cave......"

Lin Ran saw that Master Shuiyue had not mentioned the information about Huanglong, so he simply put this matter aside and changed the topic: "I heard that Tiantai Sect has a magical formation, I was fortunate to see it once in Tianshan Mountain, it is really mysterious, I don't know what the origin of this formation is?"

Master Shuiyue was upright, and he didn't think about it, and immediately explained: "Hundreds of years ago, an ancestor surnamed Ye once obtained a scroll in the Xuansu Cave Mansion, on which various formations were recorded, and the power was powerful, and Patriarch Ye once unified the Tiantai Sect with a supernatural power. He had two descendants during his lifetime, and both of these disciples had obtained the true transmission of his formation, one of whom was Senior Uncle Daoyangzi. There is an elder named Ye Zhiqing in your Imperial Sword Sect, she looks like a country and a city, she is the daughter of Ancestor Ye, I heard that her formation cultivation is still above Uncle Daoyangzi......"
