Five Immortals Gate

The gray monk stood several feet away from Li Yan, with his hands clasped together and his body slightly leaning forward. With a respectful attitude, he said something that surprised Li Yan.

Fortunately, Li Yan's personality made him look surprised, but his face remained the same.

Li Yan's hidden aura was so hidden that even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage might not be able to see through it, but the other party revealed his strength.

When he discovered the gray monk, Li Yan was also observing the other party. He was more than 90% sure that the monk was a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, but the gray monk called him "senior" right away.

How could he not be surprised.

In addition, Li Yan obviously didn't know the gray monk, but the other party knew his surname. He rushed straight towards the other party, so how could the gray monk recognize the wrong person?

This was Li Yan's first time to come to Fengshen Continent, and this was not Huangyue Continent. Now he was known by many people.

Therefore, Li Yan restored his original appearance after leaving Jiao Mingzhou, and no longer looked like a burly man.

"Is he a Divine Transformation Monk? But why does he call himself a 'junior'?"

Li Yan's mind raced. Seeing that Li Yan was just staring at him and not answering, the gray-robed monk spoke again with a smile on his face.

"It seems that you are Senior Li, senior, don't be surprised, I am here on the orders of my uncle to invite you to come over for a chat!"

"Your uncle? Who is he?"

Li Yan's face had returned to calm.

"My uncle is the elder of Shamen Temple, Master Xuji, and he is also one of the two Nascent Soul Monks who are now in charge of this market!"

The gray-robed monk looked calm and answered respectfully.

The doubtful look in Li Yan's eyes flashed away. He had seen the name of Shamen Temple in the classics. It was a large temple in the Fengshen Continent.

The one who invited him was the Nascent Soul monk of Shamen Temple who was in charge here? Li Yan glanced at the gray-robed monk.

"Oh? I don't know him. If you have anything to say, let him come and find me!"

Li Yan's expression was calm. He would not go to a place where a Yuanying cultivator was entrenched casually.

Although he was proud of his magical powers, if he went to the place designated by another Yuanying cultivator for no reason, once the other party had a plan, he might not be sure that he could get out.

Especially when the other party could see through his cultivation at a glance, Li Yan didn't know how much the other party knew about him.

Such a monk either cultivated "Heavenly Eyes" or possessed secrets or magic weapons that he didn't know about to find out people's privacy.

In just a moment, Li Yan's mind was already racing. He still thought that it was the Zen Master Xu Ji who cultivated some magical powers to see people's privacy.

As a Yuanying mid-stage cultivator like himself came to the market and concealed his cultivation, it was possible that the other party sent someone to invite or investigate.

"Could it be the red light on the archway? You didn't come here, but sent a little monk here. Do you really think you are a living Buddha? Everyone has to go and worship!"

But what Li Yan couldn't figure out was how the other party knew his last name?

Li Yan's face was calm, and he had made up his mind. He planned to stay for a while, then summon the two monsters and leave.

Although Li Yan was not afraid of the other party, since his whereabouts were discovered, Li Yan knew that the man would keep watching him in secret. He had something else to do, so it was better to stay away from him as soon as possible.

"This is something that my uncle asked me to give to the senior. You will know it when you see it!"

The gray-robed monk was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't know Li Yan, but when he came, my uncle had said that after giving this person something, the person would follow him.

He showed a look of surprise, because his uncle's name was not small in the world of cultivation, not to mention that the power of Shamen Temple was huge. In Fengshen Continent, it was the object that many forces wanted to come to the door and actively make friends with. \u003c

\u003c/di\u003e

br\u003e

But Shamen Temple might not pay attention to the other party, so he thought that as long as he reported these names, the other party would give face even if it was a Yuanying cultivator, but he didn't expect that the other party would refuse it outright.

He believed what his uncle said and immediately took out a jade slip.

Li Yan saw the jade slip handed over by the other party, but he didn't reach out to take it immediately. He was also surprised by the person who invited him. Of course, he would not take risks rashly out of his usual caution.

Li Yan's spiritual sense directly probed the jade slip in the gray monk's hand, and a voice came from the jade slip immediately. After hearing this voice and content, Li Yan's expression, which had always been calm, was obviously stunned for a short time.

There was only one sentence in the jade slip. After being stunned, Li Yan stretched out his hand and took the jade slip in the gray monk's hand. He took it away casually, and when he looked up at the gray monk again, a faint voice came out of his mouth.

"Lead the way!"

In a secluded place in the market, there is a large area of ​​dense forest. Compared with other places in the market, this place seems to be in another world.

The occasional bird calls in the forest make this place more elegant and deep...

Li Yan followed the gray monk slowly, but at this moment his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, but still surging.

He didn't expect to meet this person here, which was beyond his expectation.

The stone path in the forest was winding, and from time to time you could see a stream gurgling in the forest. The sunlight was scattered on the body through the leaves. You couldn't feel the heat at all, but instead felt a sense of winding paths leading to secluded places.

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 overhanging eaves exposed, and the sound of wind chimes on the overhanging eaves could be heard swaying in the clear wind. , as we continue to move forward, a courtyard with red walls and blue tiles comes into view like a picture scroll...

Soon, the gray-clothed monk led 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, 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 shadow.

When Li Yan 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. He was looking at himself 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 couldn't help but smile on his face as he looked at the face that was completely different from before, yet somewhat familiar.

"After so many years of separation, I didn't expect to see my fellow Taoist 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 city, 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 Taoist Li! As fellow Taoist 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 cooked, 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.

"Now that the Huchen family has said goodbye, does Fellow Daoist Li still remember Zhuo?"

The monk in front of him was Zhuo Lingfeng, who had a good 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! "

As he spoke, 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 fragrance rushed straight into the sea of ​​consciousness. Although Li Yan hadn't 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 had 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 he was told, took a sip without warning, and then closed his eyes.

Zhuo Lingfeng watched all this with a smile, until Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes clear.

“Good tea!”

"It takes a month to produce some of this tea. If Fellow Taoist Li likes it, I can give you a small bag as a gift. It will calm your nerves and calm your mind in your spare time!"

"Oh, I gave you a big gift at this meeting, how can Li give back?"

"Hahaha, this thing is not a natural or earthly treasure, it just took a little longer to grow. It's rare that Fellow Daoist Li likes it, so why talk about it as a gift!"

As Zhuo Lingfeng spoke, he flipped his palm, and a delicate pouch appeared on the table, and he gently pushed it over.

Although Li Yan was polite, when he saw the delicate pouch in front of him, he smiled and put it away with a flick of his robe sleeves.

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 Taoist Zhuo, how did you detect my cultivation level? Is it because of the red light at the archway?"

he

After carefully observing Zhuo Lingfeng, he found that his cultivation should be at the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, which was a small level lower than his own. Zhuo Lingfeng shook his head when he heard this.

"I didn't see the true cultivation level of my fellow Taoist. Even now, I see that you are still in the early stage of the golden elixir. Your method of concealing aura is really powerful!

Moreover, the red light at the entrance of the archway is just to screen whether there is a wind beast entering in the form of an illusion, and there is no other malicious intention. Otherwise, it will only cause public anger 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 couldn't believe it.

"What's so difficult about this? It seems that fellow Taoist has overlooked one point, this is Fengshen Continent!"

Seeing the confusion on Li Yan's face, Zhuo Lingfeng just lightly

\u003c/di\u003e

He said something softly, and when Li Yan heard it, his expression was slightly startled, and then he reached out and slapped himself on the 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 now.

He felt that no one knew him except Gong Chenying in Fengshen Continent, but he 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 a 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 sitting in this city. He and I will check on the monks entering the city from time to time.

I didn't expect to see fellow Taoist 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 felt a lot more at ease knowing that the other party had not seen through his cultivation. 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 asking, but then he spoke again.

"Oh, I'm surprised to meet fellow Taoist here. If it's not convenient for you to answer, then just give up!"

"Fellow Daoist Li is over-worrying. There is nothing that cannot be said. When inviting fellow Taoist here, he also wants to ask fellow daoist some things. I'm afraid he will be bothering fellow daoist in a while."

Zhuo Lingfeng clasped his hands together and immediately started narrating.

"That year, after my Taoist friend and I said goodbye to the Huchen family, 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 buy some resources for cultivation, I found that the entire world of cultivating immortals was in chaos. I heard that the demons had invaded the South China Sea and defeated the Taixuan Sect, and even lost their nest.

The four major sects ordered all monks above the foundation building level in the world to participate in the resistance against the demons. At that time, I was just a foundation building casual cultivator.

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.

Of course Li Yan knew where the "Land of the Sunset" was. It was one of the two most dangerous places in the desert that was 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 in the foundation building stage. 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 casual cultivators were in the battle with the demon invasion.

Li Yan also understood Zhuo Lingfeng's original choice very well. In that battle with the demons, the most casual cultivators died.

Most of the reason is that the skills they learned are average, the magic weapons are average, and their combat power is average. Once they encounter fierce demon cultivators and foreign cultivators, they will die the most!
