Fairy Tree

Ancestor Tianyi suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold lights flashed away.

The moment Ancestor Tianyi looked at him, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shivered. At this moment, Xiao Lin felt that Ancestor Tianyi had seen through him.

In front of this Nascent Soul Stage monk, he seemed to have no secrets at all.

The only thing that made Xiao Lin feel lucky was that the moment Patriarch Tianyi looked at him, the spirit wood space deep between his eyebrows mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

"Are you Xiao Lin?" After just a brief glance, Patriarch Tianyi withdrew his gaze and said lightly.

"Disciple Xiao Lin, I would like to pay my respects to Patriarch Tianyi and all the elders." In front of Patriarch Tianyi and several Jindan monks, Xiao Lin did not dare to overstep in the slightest and bowed to them.

"Have you never seen him before?" Xiao Lin had a respectful look on his face, but he was full of curses in his heart. He didn't believe that with the memory of a cultivator, Patriarch Tianyi would forget him.

"It takes twenty years to advance from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage. It is indeed commendable. It seems that Lin Nvwa did not choose the wrong person when she designated you as the representative of our Dancao Mountain to complete this mission with her. "Ancestor Tianyi suddenly said something that made Xiao Lin confused.

But after Patriarch Tianyi finished speaking, he stopped talking and closed his eyes slightly, looking drowsy.

"Xiao Lin, this time the sect will give you an important task." At this time, Xiao Lin's master Su Qingyun suddenly took a step forward, looked at him, and said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin had some doubts in his heart. He was summoned here inexplicably. His master Su Qingyun said that the sect would give him an important task.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing.

It's not that Xiao Lin doubted Su Qingyun, but in Dancao Mountain, once Patriarch Tianyi spoke, even Su Qingyun had no choice but to obey the orders.

Needless to say, the task designated by the ancestor Tianyi must be extremely dangerous. Although he does not intend to abandon the sect, he is extremely unwilling if the sect treats him as cannon fodder.

Therefore, he did not directly agree, but showed a hesitant expression.

"Su Qingyun, this disciple of yours is not sincere enough to our Dancao Mountain." A white-faced old man next to him who looked to be in his fifties or sixties glanced at Xiao Lin, showed a disdainful smile, and said to Su Qingyun who was standing aside.

"Yes, you dare to hesitate and shirk even the tasks ordered by your ancestor. Do you want to betray Dancao Mountain?" A black-faced man in his forties also echoed from the side.

"Lan Hong, isn't it normal for everyone to hesitate when facing life and death? Besides, as far as Su knows, most of the direct disciples of your Lan family had already gone to If you are disloyal to Dancao Mountain, I think your Lan family will bear the brunt of it." Su Qingyun said calmly.

"Su Qingyun, please don't rant. The family disciples dismissed by Lan are all low-level disciples with weak cultivation. These people are useless to our Dancao Mountain for this crisis. Huh, if your precious disciple If you don’t want to take on this mission, I, a descendant of the Lan family, am willing to take over.”

"Your Lan family? It seems that except for Lan Xin, who has perfected the foundation building, the rest of the people? But they don't even have the late stage of foundation building. You don't want Lan Xin to go, do you? Su is afraid that he hasn't reached it yet." At the mission point, he will die of old age.”

"You? Don't bother Elder Su. As a foundation-building Dzogchen cultivator, Lan Xin still has at least thirty or forty years of life left, which is enough to complete this mission."

"Forefather Qi, Wang Daoxin also believes that for such an important task, it would be too much to send a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple. It would be safer to at least send a Foundation Establishment Dzogchen disciple. Wang Daoxin’s great-great-grandson, Wang Ping, has entered the realm of Foundation Establishment a few years ago and is fully qualified to take on this responsibility." The black-faced man in his forties next to him turned around and saluted the ancestor Tianyi, and then said.

Hearing this, although Xiao Lin's expression did not change much, his heart was full of surprise. The Lan Hong in front of him seemed to be the supreme elder of the Lan family, one of the top ten cultivation families in Dancao Mountain.

Xiao Lin had a deep memory of Elder Lan Xin who wanted to hack his Foundation Establishment Pill. Originally, Xiao Lin believed that with the narrow-mindedness of the old man, he would definitely cause trouble for him in the future, but after becoming a disciple of Su Qingyun, this This idea changed.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how vicious Lan Xin is, as long as he is not a fool, he should not have any plans for him anymore. He has hugged the big tree of Su Qingyun.

Later facts also proved that his guess was right. Lan Xin did not cause trouble for him anymore. The only thing that made him suspicious was the time when he was intercepted and killed by Qi Chang. He sent a message to the sect to look for Qi Chang's traces. After the mission, the news was leaked out, and Qi Chang took the opportunity to set a trap.

If he hadn't had a few trump cards, he might have been dead for many days now. Xiao Lin had always suspected that the reason why the news was leaked was probably related to Lan Xin.

The reason why Lan Hong treated him so strangely was probably because of Lan Xin's incident. But what puzzled Xiao Lin was that when faced with such a dangerous mission, most people would have no time to escape, but Lan Xin and the man standing with him Wang Daoxin was actually scrambling to take over this mission at the same time.

"Is it possible that this mission has great benefits?" Xiao Lin thought in his mind, but he did not agree. Even if there were great benefits, he did not want it. Risks are directly proportional to rewards. This principle He still understands.

Before learning the details of this mission, he had no intention of expressing his opinion on this matter.

"How many of you are going out first?" Ancestor Tianyi who had been closing his eyes suddenly said.

Hearing this, except for Su Qingyun, the other seven people saluted the ancestor Tianyi, then turned and left. Before leaving, Lan Hong did not forget to give Xiao Lin a cold look.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little wary of this person.

After everyone left, Ancestor Tianyi glanced at Su Qingyun and nodded slightly.

"Disciple, do you know Lin Xueying?" Su Qingyun looked at Xiao Lin and her tone became much softer.

Xiao Lin was slightly startled when he heard the word Lin Xueying. He didn't understand why Su Qingyun suddenly mentioned this woman, and how did he know that he knew Lin Xueying?

After separating from Lin Xueying and returning to Dancao Mountain, Xiao Lin never told his master Su Qingyun that he had rescued Lin Xueying halfway.

Seeing the cautious expression on his apprentice's face, which seemed like he would never express his attitude until he explained the matter clearly, Su Qingyun couldn't help but shook his head.

"This mission was mainly initiated by Tianyun Pavilion. Each of the other four major sects sent one person to form a five-person team. The person leading the team was none other than Lin Xueying, and I can tell you that the reason why we chose you as our The reason for being the representative of Dancao Mountain is actually because Lin Xueying asked you to participate. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood that it was because of this woman that he was assigned a task by the sect, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"It seems that I should be less kind in the future." Xiao Lin warned himself in his heart, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You don't have to worry. This mission may not be a disaster." Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Su Qingyun, who had lived for hundreds of years, didn't know what he was thinking. However, Su Qingyun did not blame Xiao Lin for this. On the contrary, he praised his apprentice even more.

The purpose of cultivators practicing Taoism is to gain immortality, and rashly putting themselves into danger is not a sign of a mature cultivator. On the contrary, for cultivators, the higher the realm, the more they cherish their lives.

After all, only if you have your life, can you continue to practice and gain the chance of immortality. If your life is gone, there is no talk of immortality.

Hearing Su Qingyun say the words "it may not be a disaster", Xiao Lin couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Su Qingyun with a look of confusion on his face.

"As long as you complete this mission, Dancao Mountain will not only let you go free, but the five major sects will also reward each of the five of you with a Tianlu Token. Those who hold the Tianlu Token can request the five major sects to If the sect does something for him, as long as the five major sects can do it without harming the five major sects themselves, they cannot refuse."

"Of course, the freedom here does not mean that you will leave Dancao Mountain, but from now on, you will not be required to take responsibility for the sect. Even if our Dancao Mountain finally fights Gu Xuanzong to the last person, you will be completely You can stand aside or just fly away." Looking at Xiao Lin, Su Qingyun had a solemn look on his face.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was really moved. If he could complete this mission, he would be able to avoid falling into the war between the five major sects and the Ancient Xuan Sect. For him, it was indeed a very good condition.

And you can also get a Tianlu Token that allows any of the five major sects to do something for you. This is a great honor. This Tianlu Token alone can definitely be described as a priceless treasure.

It's just that such generous conditions may correspond to the extreme danger of the mission. If things go wrong, the reward will not be obtained, and his life will be canceled in the process of executing the mission.

However, even if he refused, his master and Tianyi Ancestor did not force him. However, in the subsequent war with Gu Xuanzong, it was difficult for him to stay out and face the overwhelming fighting among the monks.

Xiao Lin was really not sure that he could survive.

There are risks on both sides, and Xiao Lin knows that he cannot escape this disaster.

"Master, does this disciple know what the content of this mission is?" Xiao Lin finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

Shaking his head, Su Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard for you to be a teacher. Apart from the five ancestors, only Lin Xueying of Tianyun Pavilion knows the content of this mission."

"This mission is top secret. No one can know the content of the mission in advance before completing it. However, I can guarantee that compared to the upcoming war between Zai and Gu Xuanzong, taking this mission is definitely a smart one. Choose." Ancestor Tianyi opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Lin, and said in a deep voice.
