Eternal Tranquility

Wenshi faction.

Zuo Zhishan, the master of Zhulin Mountain, flew to the back mountain, used the pass token to enter the Nine-Nine Smoke Lock Immortal Formation, passed through the Demon Sealing Formation, and landed outside Mingyangzi's hill. He went straight into the small courtyard, passed through the front hall, passed through the small garden, and came to the second main hall.

His master, Ming Yangzi, sat and slept here every day. He was currently confronting Elder Kongxuan next door, and his second junior brother Ji Yue was standing next to him serving tea.

Mingyangzi saw Zuo Zhishan coming in in a hurry. He held a white chess piece in his hand and raised his head: "Zhishan?"

Zuo Zhishan first leaned down and saluted: "Master, Uncle Kongxuan." Then he nodded to Ji Yue, and then said: "Master, a message came from the outer sect, saying that the Pengjia Island garrison has been built, and the master brother has arranged for Yu Jing Junior sister led a group of disciples to guard the place."

Mingyangzi placed the chess piece on the chessboard: "Well, this arrangement is appropriate."

"Peng Family Island?" Kong Xuan asked, "Is it the small family that had an accident last time?"

"Yes. Such a big thing happened last time. When the sect came to its senses, they went to search the sea area where the accident occurred, but they couldn't find any clues. In the past, we ignored the Eastern Barren Sea too much, so I suggested that we Establish a base on Pengjia Island. Besides, there are abundant resources in the sea, so how can we waste them?”

Kong Xuan and Ming Yangzi have been old friends for many years, and they talk more casually on weekdays: "No, no, who would have thought that something like this would happen. Is there any news about your little apprentice?"

When Ming Yangzi said this, his face became a little calm: "No. The Peng family and the Haisha sect, along with the entire elite, were all destroyed in that accident, and none of the people who went there escaped, so we are still here We still don’t know what happened that day.”

"I heard that fellow Taoist Minghua from the Shaoyang Sect made a noise and caused our sect to come?"

There was a trace of anger on Ming Yangzi's face: "That old guy Minghua still dared to come to me to ask for his children and grandchildren. I haven't asked him to ask for my disciples yet! I beat him up and threw him out. ”

"Haha." Kong Xuan laughed: "Look at you, after so many years of self-cultivation, I thought you had a better temper, but in the end you still get angry at the slightest disagreement."

The two Nascent Soul monks were chatting. Ji Yue saw that there was not much tea left, so he went to the back room to brew it again.

Seeing Zuo Zhishan still standing aside, Mingyangzi asked, "Zhishan, is there anything else?"

"Master, a young Taoist friend came to the sect two days ago and claimed to be a good friend of my junior brother. He said that he had just left seclusion not long ago and only learned of the accident recently, so he came to inquire about his whereabouts. I arranged for him to be there. Master, do you want to see the Zizhu Courtyard where my junior brother lived before? "

"Oh, Qing Huan has a friend come to visit?" Mingyangzi stroked his long beard: "He is a good boy. It's hard for him to be so thoughtful. You can bring him to see me later."

Just as he was talking, Ji Yue's exclamation suddenly came from the back hall: "Master, come quickly!"

Mingyangzi was startled, suddenly thought of something, stood up quickly and walked quickly to the back hall.

This back hall is where Mingyangzi takes his daily naps. In addition to a small couch, tea sets and other furnishings, there is also a high table with three oil lamps placed on it.

Now, among the three oil lamps, two of them have very bright flames. Only the one on the right is swaying in the wind. The lamp is shaking extremely hard and shrinking rapidly, as if it will go out at any time!

Ji Yue stood beside him, holding the teapot in one hand and holding the oil lamp with the other hand. He said anxiously: "Master, I just came in to make tea and accidentally glanced at my junior brother's soul lamp... "

Mingyangzi's face was serious, and Elder Kongxuan and Zuo Zhishan followed behind him.

This oil lamp was the soul lamp that Mingyangzi lit for Liu Qinghuan. The other two lamps were naturally from Zuozhishan and Jiyue.

The soul lamp shows the strength of a person's soul. As long as the owner of the lamp is fine, the soul lamp will not go out even if the wind blows or the water pours, or the person is far away.

If the soul lamp goes out, it means that the owner of the lamp is dead.

Four years ago, Liu Qinghuan and three other Wenshi sect disciples disappeared in the East Barren Sea, and Mingyangzi was furious. If they hadn't seen that Liu Qinghuan's soul lamp was still alive, then everyone in the Peng family and the Haisha Sect might not have been able to satisfy Ming Yangzi's anger.

From that time on, the three soul lamps that were originally placed in the secret room were placed by Ming Yangzi in the place where he usually sits and sleeps.

Several people in the room held their breaths and looked at the soul lamp. Ming Yangzi said: "This is your junior brother encountering a fatal danger."

When Liu Qinghuan was sucked away by the old devil Xue Ming and his life was hanging by a thread, he would not have thought that in the distant Yunmengze Continent, his master would be standing in front of his soul lamp, worried about him.

The flame of his soul lamp became smaller and smaller, and finally only a thin strand remained on the wick.

With a "bang" sound, Ming Yangzi was so angry that he smashed the coffee table next to him with his palm! Zuo Zhishan and Ji Yue exchanged worried glances.

At this moment, the flames that were about to go out suddenly jumped up to a foot high, dancing vigorously and bursting into crackling lights. Several people were not prepared and were all taken aback.

The flame lasted for two or three breaths, and then slowly decreased, finally remaining on a small flame, which seemed to be slightly smaller than the other two.

Zuo Zhishan exhaled and smiled happily: "Junior brother has saved the day!"

"Eh?" Ji Yue came closer and said, "Master, look, is my junior brother's soul lantern bigger than before?"

The anger on Ming Yangzi's face had disappeared at this time, and he returned to his previous fairy-like appearance. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, it seems that Qing Huan not only turned danger into safety, but his cultivation level has also improved a lot."

The few people watched for a while and saw that the flames were stable and showed no change, so they returned to the outside.

Kong Xuan smiled and said: "As a closed disciple, you have a lot of good fortune. You will turn bad luck into good luck, so you don't have to worry too much."

At this time, the two Yuanying monks had no intention of playing chess anymore. Mingyangzi took a sip of tea and sighed: "I don't know if it's shallow or not. If he wasn't far away, I would have let him do it day and night." Worried, I wanted to give that kid a good beating. You didn’t know that the soul lamp was out for a while when he disappeared.”

Kong Xuan was surprised: "There is still such a thing?!"

He pondered for a moment and then said: "The soul lamp has been extinguished. If it can be ignited again, there is only one possibility. It is because the owner of the lamp is in a different interface space, which completely blocks the induction power of the soul lamp. I am a little curious. What happened to your disciple back then?"

Elder Kong Xuan is a descendant of Supreme Master Kong Wu. He also inherited Supreme Master Kong Wu’s extremely rare body of empty veins. He practiced the Wenshi sect’s Tianji Kung Fu "Void Creation Book".

So when he said this, Mingyangzi nodded and said, "That should be the case. Later, the soul lamp was lit again, which means that my disciple is still in our interface."

"As long as you're still in this interface. Well, have you tried the soul clue shadow to look for his traces?"

"Two years ago, I went to Junior Brother Mengxu and asked him to help me search. But maybe it was too far away, so there was no result..."
