The gray-clothed monk stood a few feet away from Li Yan, with his hands clasped together and his body slightly leaning forward. His attitude was respectful, but what he said surprised Li Yan.
Fortunately, due to Li Yan's character, although he was shocked in his heart, his face remained the same as before.
Li Yan has such a hidden aura that even monk Nascent Soul Late Stage may not be able to see through it, but the other party revealed his strength in one breath.
When he discovered the monk in gray, Li Yan was also observing him. He was more than 90% sure that the monk was a monk from the Golden Core Realm, but the monk in gray immediately called himself "senior".
This surprised him.
In addition, Li Yan clearly did not recognize the monk in gray, but the other party knew his last name. He just rushed straight towards him. The gray-clothed monk didn't look like he recognized the wrong person.
Li Yan This is the first time he has come to the Wind God Continent, and this is not Desolate Moon Continent. Now he is known to many people.
Therefore, Li Yan returned to his original appearance after leaving Jiao Mingzhou, and no longer looked like a burly man.
"Is he a monk Spirit Transformation? But why does he call himself a 'junior'?"
Li Yan's thoughts changed rapidly. Seeing that Li Yan was just staring at him and not answering, the monk in gray clothes spoke again with a smile on his face.
"It seems that you are definitely Senior Li. Senior, don't be surprised. The young monk was ordered by my uncle to invite Senior to come and talk!"
"Your uncle? Who is he?"
Li Yan's face has returned to calmness.
"Uncle, the young monk, is Zen Master Xuji, the elder of Salmon Temple, and one of the two Nascent Soul Cultivators who are currently in charge of this city!"
The monk in gray looked calmly and answered respectfully.
Li Yan has doubts in his eyes
The color passed in a flash. He had seen the name of Shamen Temple in the classics. It was a temple with considerable influence among the Wind God Continent.
The one who invited him was Nascent Soul, the monk from Shamen Temple who is in charge here? Li Yan glanced at the monk in gray.
"Oh? I don't know him well. If he has anything to do, ask him to come to me and tell me!"
Li Yan's expression is as calm as ever. He will not just go to a place where Nascent Soul Cultivator is entrenched.
Although he was conceited about Divine Ability, if he went to the place designated by another Nascent Soul Cultivator for no reason, he might not be sure that he would be able to get out if the other party made a mental calculation without intending to do so.
Especially since the other party can see through his own cultivation level at a glance. Li Yan doesn't know how much the other party knows about him.
Such monks have either practiced "Heavenly Eye", or they have secret techniques that they don't know or are Dharma Treasure who check people's privacy.
In just this moment, Li Yan's mind was already racing, and he still felt that he was that Zen Master Xuji practicing some kind of Divine Ability who could peek into people's privacy.
A Nascent Soul Middle Stage monk like himself came to Fang City and hid his cultivation. It was possible that the other party would send someone over to invite or investigate.
"Is it the red light from the archway? It's just that he didn't come himself, but sent a young monk here. You really think you are a living Buddha, and everyone wants to pay homage!"
But what Li Yan couldn't figure out was how the other party knew his last name?
Li Yan had a calm expression on his face, and had already made up his mind. He planned to stay for a while, then recruited the two demons and left.
Although Li Yan is not afraid of the other person, since his whereabouts have been spied on, Li Yan knows that that person will always be watching him secretly. He has other things to do, so it is better to stay away as soon as possible.
.
"This is what my uncle asked me to give to my senior. You will know it as soon as you see it!"
The gray-clothed monk only had a slightly surprised look on his face when he heard this. He didn't know Li Yan, but when he came, his uncle had said that after giving this person something, he would follow him.
He showed a look of surprise, but the master uncle's reputation was not small in the world of immortality, not to mention that Shamen Temple was very powerful. In the Wind God Continent, many forces wanted to come and take the initiative to make friends with him. <
</di>
br>
But Shamen Temple may not be able to pay attention to the other party, so he thought that as long as he reported these names, the other party would give him some credit even if he was Nascent Soul Cultivator, but he did not expect that the other party would refuse.
Only then did he believe what his uncle said and immediately took out a Jade Slip.
When Li Yan saw the Jade Slip handed over by the other party, he did not immediately reach out to take it. He was also surprised by the person who invited him, and of course he would not take risks rashly out of his usual caution.
Li Yan Divine Sense directly probed the Jade Slip in the gray-clothed monk's hand. A voice immediately came from Jade Slip. After hearing the voice and content, Li Yan's expression, which had always been Gujing Wubo, was obviously stunned for a short time.
There was only one sentence in Jade Slip. After Li Yan was stunned, he reached out and took the picture of Jade Slip from the monk in gray clothes. He put it away and looked up at the monk in gray clothes. A faint voice came from his mouth.
"Lead the way!"
There is a secluded place in Fang City. This is a dense forest covering a large area. Compared with other places in Fang City, this place seems like a world apart.
The occasional chirping of birds in the forest makes this place even more elegant and profound...
Li Yan followed the gray-clothed monk in a hurry, but there was no expression in his heart at the moment.
The face was so calm, but the waves were still surging.
He didn't expect to meet this person here, which was beyond his expectation.
The stone paths in the forest are winding and winding, and from time to time you can see a gurgling stream winding through the forest. The sunlight is dappled through the leaves, and you don't feel the heat at all. Instead, you feel like a winding path leads to a quiet place.
After walking on the stone path in the forest for about two or three miles, and after turning a few more turns, Li Yan saw the corner of a wooden house with overhanging eaves. The sound of wind chimes on the overhanging eaves swayed in the clear wind. As we continued to move forward, a courtyard with red walls and blue tiles came into view like a scroll...
Soon, the monk in gray brought Li Yan to the small gate of the courtyard. Apparently there were not many people coming and going here, and there were patches of moss on the steps in front of the door.
Just as the monk in gray took Li Yan up the steps, the small door of the courtyard opened on its own with a "squeak".
The monk in gray clothes immediately stopped at the side of the small door, clasped his hands and bowed slightly towards the courtyard.
"Uncle Master, Senior Li is here!"
"I'm sorry to bother you, nephew, please retreat first!"
A deep voice came from the courtyard, and there was a sense of vicissitudes in the voice.
"Uncle, you're welcome!"
After the gray-clothed monk made a gesture of invitation to Li Yan with one hand, his figure gradually disappeared like a ghost.
Li Yan When he stepped into the courtyard, he saw several neat rooms with green plants on the walls. At this time, in front of one of the rooms, there was a monk in gray clothes in his thirties who also had his hands clasped together and was looking at him with a smile.
Although that man was also wearing gray monk robes, his aura was far different from that of the gray-robed monk just now.
It gives people a feeling of spring breeze, as if there is a peaceful holy land in front of him.
Li Yan Looking at the face that was completely different from before, but also somewhat familiar, a smile appeared on his face.
"After such a long separation, I didn't expect to see fellow Daoist here. It's really surprising!"
"Amitabha, good luck has come to my door. I was also surprised. It was just a routine check on the monks entering the market, but I was able to see a familiar face after a long absence. It is really gratifying!"
Listening to the no longer old voice, Li Yan felt that everything seemed like a world away.
"Should I call you Master Xuji, Fellow Daoist Zhuo, or Fellow Daoist Sang?"
Li Yan said as he walked towards
Middle-aged monk.
"It's just a title. You can call me whatever you want, fellow Daoist Li! As fellow Daoist said, it's such a joy to see each other after so many years. How are we talking about each other inside?"
The middle-aged monk turned slightly to reveal the door of the hall behind him, where incense was being burned and tea was being made, and green smoke was lingering.
Li Yan was not polite, laughed, and walked towards the house.
"Hahaha... then I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Zhuo!"
There was only one sentence in the Jade Slip just now.
"Juchen Lineage Farewell, Fellow Daoist Li, do you still remember Zhuo?"
The monk in front of him was Zhuo Lingfeng, who had a close relationship with Li Yan.
It's just that at this moment, he has not only converted to Buddhism, but also looks much younger, no longer the old look he had before.
Indoors, the scent of sandalwood is refreshing.
On both sides of a small table, Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng sat opposite each other.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please have a drink of this tea first. This is our temple's unique "Emptiness Tea". Although it cannot improve our cultivation, it can calm our minds.
Meditate, remove dryness and turbidity! "
While speaking, Zhuo Lingfeng raised his hand and gestured to the cup of tea in front of Li Yan.
The tea in the cup was light white in color, and a refreshing fragrance rushed directly into the sea of consciousness. Li Yan Although Li Yan had not taken a sip, he already felt a coolness passing through the sea of consciousness. This feeling made people extremely comfortable.
Li Yan noticed that Zhuo Lingfeng never called himself "donor" and was very casual about his title.
This may seem inconsequential, but Li Yan understands that the other party still regards him as the same person as before, and does not want to deliberately damage the relationship between the two.
Li Yan picked up the tea cup as instructed, took a sip without warning, and then closed his eyes.
Zhuo Lingfeng looked at all this with a smile, until Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
"Good tea!"
"It takes Sexagenary Cycle to produce some of this tea. If Fellow Daoist Li likes it, I can give you a small bag as a gift. It will calm your mind and calm your mind in your spare time!"
"Oh, I'm giving you a big gift when you meet me. How can Li give back?"
"Hehehe, this thing is not a natural treasure, it just grew a little longer. It's rare that Fellow Daoist Li likes it, so how can I talk about it as a gift!"
Zhuo Lingfeng As he spoke, he turned his palm and a delicate pouch appeared on the table, which he gently pushed over.
Li Yan Although he was polite, when he saw the delicate pouch in front of him, he smiled and put away the sleeves of his robe with a flick of the hand.
Then he raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the smiling Zhuo Lingfeng, with a strange look in his eyes.
"I asked myself that the method of concealing the aura is acceptable. Fellow Daoist Zhuo, how did you detect my cultivation level? Is it because of the red light at the archway?"
him
After carefully observing Zhuo Lingfeng, he found that his cultivation should be at the peak of Nascent Soul Early Stage, which was a small level lower than his own. Zhuo Lingfeng shook his head when he heard this.
"I haven't seen the true cultivation of fellow Daoist. Even now, I see that you are still in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Your method of concealing aura is really powerful!
Moreover, the red light at the entrance of the archway is just to detect whether Wind Beast has entered, and there is no other malicious intention. Otherwise, it will only cause public outrage to inquire about other people's cultivation. "
Li Yan just listened quietly and did not interrupt.
"The reason why I can 'see' fellow Daoist Li's cultivation is... he guessed it!"
"Guess... came out?"
Now Li Yan can't believe it.
"What's so difficult about this? It seems that fellow Daoist has overlooked something, this is Wind God Continent!"
Seeing Li Yan with doubts on his face, Zhuo Lingfeng was just lightly
</di>
After Li Yan said something softly, his expression was slightly startled, and then he reached out and slapped his forehead.
"Yes, yes, yes, I really forgot that there is anyone here who can recognize me, but I really thought wrong!"
Li Yan didn't react until this moment.
I felt that no one knew me except Gong Chenying at the Wind God Continent, but I met Zhuo Lingfeng here.
In the other party's opinion, he must have come from across the border, so at least one of the three people who entered Fang City must be Nascent Soul Cultivator.
And the behavior of the three of them when they entered the archway was clearly focused on themselves. There was a 30% chance that they could guess it, so why not?
"Fellow Daoist Li, please don't be surprised. I am just checking on the monks entering the city on a routine basis. There is also a Nascent Soul in charge of this city. He and I will check on the monks entering the city from time to time.
I didn't expect to see fellow Daoist by such a coincidence, but his appearance remained the same. I asked myself that there would be no such coincidence in the world, so I made a bold guess and sent someone over! "
Zhuo Lingfeng briefly explained the process, and he did not ask about Li Yan's true cultivation level.
Li Yan After knowing that the other party had not seen through his cultivation, he felt a lot more at ease. Otherwise, he would really have to consider whether to change his appearance while walking outside in the future.
"I don't know how Fellow Daoist Zhuo got here, and why..."
When Li Yan said this, he raised his finger and pointed at the monk's robes on Zhuo Lingfeng. He had many questions in his mind and couldn't help but ask, but then he continued.
"Oh, I'm surprised to meet fellow Daoist here. If it's not convenient for you to answer, then just give up!"
"Fellow Daoist Li is worrying too much. There is nothing that cannot be said. When inviting fellow daoist here, he also wants to ask fellow daoist some things. I am afraid that he will trouble fellow daoist in a while."
Zhuo Lingfeng clasped his hands together and began to speak directly.
"That year, after I said goodbye to my Daoist friend Lineage after coming out of Huchen, in order not to arouse the murderous intention of ancestor Huchen, we went to the valley where we once lived and stayed there for a while.
Later, when I came out to purchase some resources for cultivation, I found that the entire world of immortality was in chaos. I heard that Devil Race had invaded the South China Sea and defeated the Taixuan Sect, and even lost its nest.
The four major sects ordered all Foundation Establishment monks and above in the world to participate in the resistance to Devil Race. I was just a Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator at that time.
When he was in the market, if he hadn't been quick to spot an opportunity, he would have been almost raped.
After escaping at that time,
The thought was why should I fight for such a thing, and then I felt that the small valley was not a safe place, so I had the desire to escape.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally chose a dangerous place called "The Land of the Sunset". I guess Fellow Daoist Li must have heard of it. "
Having said this, Zhuo Lingfeng paused and smiled at Li Yan.
Li Yan Of course knows where the "Land of the Sunset" is. It is one of the two most dangerous places in the desert that is as famous as the "Flying Sand Cave".
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Red Fire Ancestor, he plunged into the "Flying Sand Ancient Cave" and almost died in it. From this, he can see how dangerous the "Land of the Sunset" with the same name is.
At that time, Zhuo Lingfeng also only had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In order to avoid disaster, he chose to enter the "Land of the Sunset", which was really a risk.
However, from this point we can also see how helpless and desolate the low-level Rogue Cultivator was in the invasion battle with Devil Race.
Li Yan also understood the original choice of Zhuo Lingfeng. In the battle with Devil Race, Rogue Cultivator suffered the most deaths.
Most of the reason is that the skills they learned are average, Dharma Treasure is average, which leads to average combat power. Once they encounter fierce demon cultivators and foreign cultivators, they will die the most!
