Immortal Road

In the secret room, Grandma Jinhua frowned. Logically speaking, Qipu should have led the foundation-building monks here long ago.

But half an hour had passed, and she hadn't seen Qip's shadow yet. .

This made Granny Jinhua a little angry.

The registered disciples who were waiting for Grandma Jinhua's sermon outside also looked puzzled. In the past, Granny Jinhua should have appeared long ago. Before the sermon, she would also announce the acceptance of several registered disciples as direct disciples.

The named disciples are working diligently on weekdays, waiting for this moment. Once they become direct disciples, their status will not only rise a lot, but the spiritual stones and elixirs they receive will also increase a lot. More importantly, you can also get regular guidance from Granny Jinhua. Instead of having to come early to get a good seat in order to hear a sermon like now.

However, Granny Jinhua is a Nascent Soul monk after all. She has lived for hundreds of years and has experienced many things. She will never bother with such a trivial matter, so after being slightly annoyed, she stopped thinking about it and instead sat cross-legged to talk. Get up.

After a while, a voice came from outside the door: "Master, disciple Qi Pu wants to see you!"

"Come in!" Granny Jinhua opened her eyes.

Chip came in, his face pale.

"Master...Master...this disciple made a mistake, please respect me and punish me!" Qipu knelt down and knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the cave.

"What's wrong?" Granny Jinhua was a little surprised. Qi Pu was usually mature and prudent, so Granny Jinhua would leave many important things to Qi Pu. In fact, among Granny Jinhua's disciples, Qi Pu seemed to be the most important. Little master. Except for Grandma Jinhua, Qi Pu has the final say.

And Qipu never let Granny Jinhua down.

Qip's performance today really surprised Grandma Jinhua, if there was nothing important. Chip would never kneel down like that.

"What's wrong?" Granny Jinhua asked.

"Eighteen foundation-building monks were missing in the mine. I asked Guo Yuan to go in to investigate, but until now, Guo Yuan has not appeared!" Qip said word by word.

"What?" Granny Jinhua's face changed drastically.

Magnets are very important to her. The magnets collected last time have been used up. Now she is waiting for this batch of magnets. If the magnets are lost. Then she would have no basis for cultivation.

You know, if you miss this time, the difficulty of mining the magnet will increase several times.

"Disciple is at fault! Master, please punish me." Qip's voice sobbed.

"What's your fault? The things involved are beyond your control!" Grandma Jinhua sighed. Said: "How is the situation in the cave now?"

Qi Pu thought for a while and said: "I have been waiting for Guo Yuan for a long time today, but he did not return with the foundation-building monks, so I went to the cave to see what happened. Guo Yuan was still there at that time, and there were eighteen light spots in the cave. . Guo Yuan wanted to go in and search. I let him go, and he hasn't come out yet, so I temporarily sealed the fifty-four people and reported the matter to the master."

Grandma Jinhua pondered for a moment and said, "Could something strange appear in the cave? Trapping eleven of them?"

"Disciple thinks so too. But I don't dare to enter rashly. I should report it to Master first and then enter it to check!" Qip said.

"Master, the Great Elder wants to see you!" A clear child's voice came from outside the door.

"Master. The arrangements for the sermon meeting have been completed. Do you want to start?"

……………………

Grandma Jinhua pondered for a moment and said: "Today's sermon is cancelled, postponed to tomorrow. Also, you can go into the cave to see what's strange in it. If you encounter a strong enemy, don't be reluctant to fight!"

"Disciple, obey!" Qip stood up and left immediately.

"Please, Great Elder!"

The restriction was wide open, and the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder entered together. Behind the two of them, there was a young monk. This young monk looked to be only in his twenties, and his cultivation level was no more than a fake alchemy stage.

But when I saw Grandma Jinhua, she didn't look nervous at all.

"There seems to be something wrong with Grandma's face!" The elder saw the strange look on Grandma Jinhua's face.

"I'm just worried about cultivation!" Granny Jinhua didn't want to say more. She stared at Ishikawa and said, "Who is this little friend?"

"This little friend's name is Ishikawa. After a while, I will accept him as my direct disciple. At that time, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held on the pumice stone. I hope my mother-in-law can come to participate."

"The qualifications are indeed good, and he is a malleable talent. Since he is the beloved disciple of the great elder, I will give him some gadgets as a meeting gift!" Granny Jinhua handed over a small ring.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for the gift!" Ishikawa quickly took it with both hands.

This ring is absolutely extraordinary. It looks like an extremely precious thing at first glance. It is dark and shiny, and its tentacles are cold.

"This object must be made of black stone." Ishikawa said secretly in his heart.

The great elder smiled slightly and said, "Mother-in-law is too polite. I came to visit her because I have something to ask for."

"Oh? The Great Elder has something to do, but it doesn't matter." Granny Jinhua was a little surprised.

"My mother-in-law has a disciple named Qingchuan, right?"

"This woman is indeed my disciple, and her qualifications are pretty good."

The great elder smiled and said: "In that case, I would like to make this marriage for my disciple, so that the two of them can become a spiritual couple."

"Double monks?" Granny Jinhua was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the great elder would come here for this matter.

"Qingchuan is still young and is committed to the Taoist path. It seems a bit early to become a Taoist friend now." Granny Jinhua looked at Ishikawa. She had never heard of Ishikawa before. Moreover, there is no family named Shi in the entire Sedum Kingdom.

Suddenly, such a young monk appeared and was accepted as a disciple by the great elder, who was always demanding in accepting apprentices. Moreover, the great elder had to hold a ceremony for his apprenticeship, and now he was getting married for him.

From all aspects, it seems that the great elder wants to regard Ishikawa as his successor.

But the Great Elder is still young and has at least a thousand years of life. It seems a bit premature to do this.

The elder smiled and said: "Mother-in-law is a little worried. After becoming a Taoist couple, it may promote their cultivation. It is common for monks in the foundation-building stage to become Taoist couples. With the two of us, are we still afraid that they will not be able to form elixirs? ?”

"Let me think about this for a few more days." Grandma Jinhua said thoughtfully: "When the apprenticeship ceremony is held, I will take Qingchuan to watch the ceremony. Then we will see how the marriage between the two is. If they are happy, I won’t stop it either.”

"Then it's settled! In a few days, I will send invitations to all the major monks in Jingtian!" the great elder laughed.

Granny Jinhua was a little puzzled. The Great Elder had been looking for the true form of the Immortal a few days ago, but now he suddenly stopped mentioning it. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had already found the true form of the Immortal.

Granny Jinhua stared at Ishikawa for a few times, and thought to herself: "Is it possible that this child is related to the immortal body?"

The Great Elder did not hide it at all. He also knew that Granny Jinhua noticed something strange. However, he had no intention of searching for clues from those small families, and he had no plans to stay in Huacic City. As long as he left, Granny Jinhua would He must have known that he had found the true form of the Immortal, so he didn't need to hide anything.

"It will be closed for three months and it will be cancelled." The great elder said with a smile.

When the great elder said this, Grandma Jinhua understood it in her heart and replied: "Congratulations to the great elder."

Grandma Jinhua was a little dissatisfied. She originally wanted to rely on the great elders to destroy those small families, but now this idea has come to nothing.

However, Grandma Jinhua's thoughts are not here at all now. What she is most concerned about now is the magnet in the mine. If the Great Elder hadn't paid a visit, she would have wanted to go into the mine and check it out.

The great elder added: "This matter has bothered my mother-in-law for many days. I hope she won't be offended."

"Mother-in-law, the other Taoist friends have returned to Pumice. The two of us specially said goodbye to mother-in-law and are leaving." The seventh elder said with cupped hands.

"That's fine, I still have some complicated things to do, so I won't send more gifts..."

Before Granny Jinhua finished speaking, Qi Pu barged in: "Master, it's bad, something big has happened!"

When Qipu stood still, he saw that the First Elder and the Seventh Elder were also there. His expression changed in vain, and he stood still without saying another word.

"Why are you so confused?" Granny Jinhua said casually.

Although Grandma Jinhua's expression was very calm, he also knew that what Qip said was definitely related to the mine magnet.

"Since my mother-in-law has important matters, we won't bother you anymore." The elder glanced at Ishikawa with a meaningful look.

"Then there won't be any more gifts." Grandma Jinhua said lightly.

……………………………………………………

After the great elder and others left, Qip knelt on the ground, his face turned ashen.

"Master, this disciple will die!"

"Speak slowly!" Granny Jinhua took a deep breath.

"After I entered the mine, I searched carefully and found an extremely long tunnel. This tunnel was thousands of feet long, and it... actually penetrated Huaci Mountain!" Qipu's voice was trembling.

"What?" Granny Jinhua stood up with a look of disbelief on her face.

The reason why Grandma Jinhua chose monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage to mine was because the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage were not very advanced and it was difficult to dig too deep in a short period of time.

In addition, every time you dig, a group of foundation-building monks are replaced, which is also very safe.

However, these foundation-building monks actually dug through Huaci Mountain, which meant that at least eighteen people knew the secret of Huaci Mountain, and a large amount of magnets flowed out.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How can a mere foundation-building monk do it? Could it be that Guo Yuan was involved?"

"Guo Yuan was definitely not involved. I only had half an hour every day to monitor him. Until I saw him, he never left the cave entrance." Qip said with certainty.

"What about Guo Yuan?"

"When Guo Yuan was supposed to go in to look for those foundation-building monks, he also discovered that they had escaped. He probably fled out of fear of crime. He...he also took away all the magnets!" Qi Pu said in fear. ,

"What?!" Granny Jinhua was furious. (To be continued...)
