Forty-fourth

Today's Jingxia Villa, although there are few people in the village, and most of the disciples have been dismissed and driven away, but with the strength and prestige of the Yin Feng Sanren, it has played a golden signboard, and it is the same among the righteous colleagues. With his own strength, he can stir up the pattern of righteous path cultivation in the world.

Dishui Cave and other small sects are even more vigilant in Jingxia Villa, and even the Tianyi faction grovels and bows down. Of course, if it weren't for the Yin Wei who was forced to disperse people, who would want to be at the mercy of others and dictate at will?

Just when all the sects and factions in the world of cultivating immortals are deceitful, fighting in the same room, intrigue, dreaming in the same bed, centrifugal and detached, and detached from the gods, the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, located in the area of Shushan, has unconsciously become bigger and stronger. After the past twelve years of innovation and baptism, the Ten Thousand Annihilation Temple Sect has set up a magnificent pattern of three elders and nine branches, there are hundreds of immortal cultivators in any branch, and there are even thousands of people in individual branches, and the number of people in this branch hall is almost the scale of all the people of the other sects combined, completely subverting the general balance between the sects for a long time.

Due to the ambition of the leader of the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, he coveted and coveted the ancient artifact "Four Sheep Fangzun", and because the Big Dipper Star Monarch who mastered the "Four Sheep Fangzun" had already evaporated from the world, "Nirvana Tianzun" became the last person who could know the whereabouts of the "Four Sheep Fangzun". The sect leader spent many years, repeatedly patrolling with personal guards and henchmen and elders, visiting the world, and finally found the clues of the "Nirvana Heavenly Venerable". A few months ago, after learning the exact whereabouts of the "Nirvana Tianzun", the sect leader personally went out and captured the "Nirvana Tianzun" who was traveling around the world and playing in the mountains and rivers at the junction of Qi and Lu.

......

At that time, in the pastoral plains at the junction of Qi and Lu, the "Jade Girl" was also accompanied by Tianzun (left and right), but unexpectedly, even if the "Jade Girl" and the "Nirvana Tianzun" combined forces, they were not the opponents of the sect leader, so the "Jade Girl" was injured and fled under the shout and cover of Tianzun, all the way to the south, and ran back to Quexian Island in the South China Sea.

At that time, Tianzun fell to the ground, stretched out his trembling hands, and shouted painfully: "Yu'er, you go quickly, go quickly——! neither of us can defeat him together, and we can't fight again." He won't kill me until he gets the baby, you don't have to worry about me, ——! go."

The delicate face of the "Jade Girl" has been stained with tears and a little blood, and in desperation, she has to take her last breath and fly away.

Since the sect leader's target was only Tianzun, the Jade Maiden's escape was not greatly hindered. It's good to be able to catch a pair of them, but the sect leader lacks skills, and he has to restrain the Tianzun who is struggling on the ground, and he has to hunt down the "Jade Girl", which is simply unrealistic to operate, and the accompanying elders and guards are not the opponents of the "Jade Girl" at all, and it is also in vain and to send them to death.

"It's finally over! There's no need to chase it, the woman who ran away doesn't matter, don't worry about her, bring this old man back to me." At the scene, the sect leader with the beard of the word "human" heroically ordered his subordinates.

The elders and guards hurriedly tied up Tianzun with their hands and feet, escorted him into the car, and returned to the lair of Shushan.

In this way, after that encounter with the Qi Kingdom, Tianzun was captured by the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilations and took their Bashu lair, and the "Jade Girl" returned to Quexian Island.

......

Today, a few months later, on Quexian Island, on the square next to the Queqiao Meteor Pool, the "Jade Female Patriarch" is angrily reprimanding the female apprentices of the sect, refuting that they are all women, but most of them are incompetent.

"Hmph, look...... Look at you, all of you, all mediocre and unenterprising. Except for Lu'er, there is not a single master of the exercises on the whole island! Recently, I have heard a rumor from the rivers and lakes that the secret of the 'Secret of Eternal Life' has been known and mastered by the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation. Do you know what the 'secret of longevity' means? This is the only shortcut to the ascension of immortals! What are we cultivators who have cultivated hard for? Come, where is the 'Silver Needle Holy Hand'? Come to my study, I have confidential matters to discuss with you. It is the first time that the "Jade Patriarch", the owner of Quexian Island, has managed the affairs of the island with such a positive and strong attitude.

A middle-aged and elderly woman who was almost 50 years old stood up from the crowd, knelt down and kowtowed to the "Jade Female Patriarch" who looked to be only more than ten years old, and replied: "The head is above, the old slave is here! ”

So, the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" followed the footsteps of the "Jade Girl" and walked towards the study. The other female disciples at the scene, one by one, all lowered their noble heads, and they did not dare to make a sound as if they were repenting, atoning for their sins, and praying.

"You are the most outstanding person in my island's medical skills, and your silver needle skills are my own inheritance, and you have been verified many times before, and you are worthy of a great responsibility. Now, if Quexian Island wants to stand tall among the Jianghu sects for a long time, first of all, it must penetrate into the enemy's interior and obtain all kinds of information as soon as possible, especially the 'longevity formula', so as to safeguard the interests of the island and take care of the safety of the island. The old body has sent you to the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, and with your healing skills, you will try to get a career in the Demon Cult. Find a way to gain the trust of leadership. Rest assured, as for your dossier, it has not been filed at all. Few people have heard of your details on Quexian Island, and outsiders will not know about it, so there is no need to worry or worry. After you get there, just do your doctor's business, don't reveal your identity, and find out the news of the 'Longevity Formula', and then find a way to report it to me before I am too late, I will find a way to seize the 'Longevity Formula', do you understand?"

"Yes. The middle-aged and elderly woman accepted without complaint, and quickly retreated, ready to pack her baggage and entanglements, and set off immediately.

In fact, the core purpose of the "Jade Patriarch" sending the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" to the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilations was not to inquire about any "longevity secret", but to search for the whereabouts of the "Nirvana Heavenly Venerable", grasp information, and pass on news at any time. It's just that the "Jade Lady Patriarch" did not say it explicitly, first, for fear of startling the snake, and for fear that the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" would deliberately look for someone for the sake of finding someone, thus revealing his identity; second, he could not let anyone on the island know that he had a leg with Tianzun, and if the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" spread it out one day, and he knew the law and broke the law as the owner of the island, where would this old face go? As for whether the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" could understand the good intentions of the "Jade Female Patriarch", discover Tianzun's clues, and respond in time, it is another matter. After all, the task that the "Silver Needle Holy Hand" received on the surface was to explore the "secret of longevity" in a literal sense.

This is a great attempt of the undercover plan of Quexian Island, and the results are not big enough to discuss first, at least Quexian Island can observe the expatriate movements in the dark and grasp the initiative to safeguard its own interests.

After the "Jade Patriarch" arranged the matter of the "Silver Needle Holy Hand", he privately passed on Li Lu to meet and secretly meet Li Lu in another, more secret place, the cave where Tianzun used to hide.

"Ancestor, if you are so cautious, what do you command?" After twelve years of vicissitudes, Li Lu spoke more categorically and expressionlessly.

"Lu'er, the old body needs you to betray your hue once, are you willing?" asked the island owner.

"Hue, Patriarch, what are you talking about? I'm in my thirties, do you still have hue to speak of?" Li Lu asked rhetorically.

"In the whole world, as long as he is a normal man, who is not a womanizer? The leader of the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilations is an ambitious conspirator. Over the years, he has been scheming to recruit cultivators from all over the world to use him, and the old body has already thought twice, if he wants to compete with it, he can't do it with any faction. It is better to strike preemptively than to be controlled by others on other days. The old body sent you to seduce and hook up with their sect leader, and to do a good job in the private relationship between you personally, that is, to do a good job in the relationship between our two sects, you don't need to form a righteous and bright alliance with him, just get closer in secret. In the future, if the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation has the ability to swallow heaven and earth, it will not harm us, who are their allies. The owner patiently and concretely emphasized.

Li Lu hesitated for a while, remembering her husband Tang Dangyang, who she loved deeply in the past, and recalling the pain of two babies being taken away by adulterers, and finally agreed: "Okay! Li Lu is willing to give everything for the sake of the teacher." What's the point of betraying the hue, I'm out of it. ”

"Lu'er, it's hard for you, good!" the owner comforted him kindly.

On the other side, after coming out of Jingxia Villa, Jieyin visited the world, looking for the whereabouts of the former outcasts of Jingxia Villa. According to the guidance and oral descriptions of the people from all over the world, the warlocks, the fortune tellers, and the wandering monks, Jieyin found a city called Julu.

I heard that Julu City is inhabited by a mixture of cultivators, demons and monsters, monsters, small people in the market, sect masters, anyway, there are everyone.

Like the Tianyi Sect, the Dishui Cave, the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, and so on, some disciples are disguised here, or as street beggars, or as vegetable stall owners, or as post house grooms, or as farmers.

Not only do the world's immortal cultivation sects have eyeliner distributed here, but even the head of the Ethereal Lake, Ling Maosuo, himself has also come here. As for the purpose of these people gathering in Julu City, it remains to be explored by Jieyin's next step.

As he walked, he saw a herb shop full of people rushing to buy medicinal herbs.

Jie Yin couldn't help but ask secretly: What are these people buying, and they still need to buy around, what herbs are in demand?

When I stepped forward, I saw that the shopkeeper who sold medicine was not someone else, but Tang Dangyang, who had not met him for 12 years.

"This herb is mine, no matter what the price, I have the money, sell it to me!" shouted buyer A.

", what are you doing on the rivers and lakes, no matter how seniority you are? This medicine should be bought on a first-come, first-served basis, right? Obviously, I came first, why is it your turn to bargain with the boss. Buyer B looked at Buyer A and said provocatively.

"If you talk about who came first, of course I was the earliest, I came to the door of the store before dawn to line up, and you all arrived later than me. Buyer C said dissatisfied.

"You guys are fighting for it! It's not like you can find the 'Recipe for Longevity' by buying the 'Rootless Spirit Grass', and now you haven't even found the location of the Desert Labyrinth, even if you buy it, you can't keep it for you to eat in the Desert Labyrinth, and it will expire and spoil!" said the buyer, Ding. This person directly answered the doubts in Jieyin's heart.

In the midst of the chaos of the scene, a louder voice sounded, overpowering the others.

"Okay, okay, don't argue about who came first! The number of these 'rootless spirit grasses' is just a few, everyone is actively bidding, and the one with the highest price wins, this is always fair, right?" At this time, Tang Dangyang interrupted the onlookers' words and grabbed the voice.

At this moment, Jie Yin looked at the pharmacy owner with straight eyes, and couldn't help but whisper: "Uncle Tang!"

Tang Dangyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved from the other onlookers, and swept over Jie Yin's face.
