Mortal Seeking Immortal

Chapter 736 Lin Yunshan

In front of Ye Zhou, Lin Yunshan did not put on the airs of a senior, but treated Ye Zhou in a friendly manner, making Ye Zhou feel a little fond of him.

Ye Zhou saw that Lin Yunshan seemed to welcome him to join Team C.

Lin Yunshan glanced at Mr. Li and said to Ye Zhou: "Mr. Li is taking a nap. Let's not disturb Mr. Li here. Let's go to my residence to talk in detail. I will introduce you to a few fellow Taoists on the same team."

Ye Zhou nodded, and the others bid farewell to Mr. Li and walked out of the small courtyard.

The monk surnamed Cheng said goodbye to the three of them.

After separating from the monk surnamed Cheng, Lin Yunshan took Ye Zhou towards the city.

Along the way, Ye Zhou noticed that the monk surnamed Chu had been following Lin Yunshan closely, never leaving.

Lin Yunshan saw Ye Zhou's eyes falling on the monk surnamed Chu and said hurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is Chu Wu. He has been a friend of mine for many years and is also a member of our team C."

Chu Wu nodded to Ye Zhou with a cold expression. Ye Zhou noticed that Chu Wu's exposed skin had a brassy color. It seemed that this person was also a famous bodybuilder.

Ye Zhou also nodded and greeted Chu Wu.

Lin Yunshan said to Ye Zhou: "Don't be surprised, Taoist Ye, Taoist Chu, he is relatively indifferent to others because of his cultivation."

Ye Zhou nodded to express his understanding.

Lin Yunshan looked at Ye Zhou, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes and said: "Yesterday, I heard that Fellow Daoist Ye returned Miss Qi safely to Xianliu City and made great achievements in front of the city lord. It stands to reason that Fellow Daoist Ye can choose a safer position. I don't know why Fellow Daoist Ye Do you want to choose the job of patrolling outside the city? "

Ye Zhou said calmly: "There are many capable people in front of the city lord. How can I, an ordinary monk in the alchemy realm, enter the city lord's eyes? Moreover, patrolling outside the city is dangerous, but I can rest for two months after one patrol, which is quite satisfactory to me." ”

After hearing this, the doubts in Lin Yunshan's eyes disappeared, and he nodded and said: "Yes, in this Xianliu City, only insect cultivators with strong insect control skills can enter the city lord's eyes."

Having said this, Lin Yunshan took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Ye Zhou and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye is new to Xianliu City, so I guess he is not familiar with the spiritual insects in the Ghost Desert."

"I just saw Taoist fellow Taoist reading the booklet given by Mr. Li. That booklet is a few years old, and the spiritual insects recorded in it are incomplete. This jade slip is based on that booklet, with many additions. Young Spirit Insect, if Fellow Daoist Ye doesn’t dislike it, you can take it for a look.”

Ye Zhou took the jade slip and thanked Lin Yunshan.

Lin Yunshan asked Ye Zhou about his situation again. Ye Zhou concealed that he was a physical cultivator and only told Lin Yunshan that he was a sword cultivator.

Lin Yunshan became more enthusiastic about Ye Zhou after hearing this.

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard in the city.

The door of the small courtyard was closed, but Ye Zhou felt a faint breath of the formation from the two closed doors of the small courtyard.

It seems that there are monks in Team C who are quite accomplished in formations.

Lin Yunshan took out a token from his arms and waved it in front of the courtyard door. A green light shot from the token to the courtyard door, and then a light blue light dissipated from the courtyard door.

Lin Yunshan put away the token, stretched out his hand and said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please."

Ye Zhou and Lin Yunshan entered the courtyard at the same time.

As soon as he stepped into the small courtyard, Ye Zhou saw an osmanthus tree with lush branches and leaves. The trunk was as thick as three people hugging each other. Fine flowers were dotted among the leaves, and bursts of fragrance floated into Ye Zhou's nose. middle.

A girl wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt was sitting on the osmanthus tree. When she saw Lin Yunshan coming back, the girl floated down from the tree to Lin Yunshan, took Lin Yunshan's arm, and called out softly: "Brother."

The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face, skin as white and tender as jade, a pair of big eyes with a hint of elf naughtiness, and an aura of late-stage foundation building is released from the girl.

Lin Yunshan introduced to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is my sister Lin Xueer, who is also a member of our Team C."

The girl smiled and saluted Ye Zhou: "I have met Senior Ye."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly to the girl.

Lin Yunshan looked at Ye Zhou and said: "Xue'er studied under Senior Yun Zhonghe, a master of formations in Kukai Continent, and has some attainments in formations. The formations in this courtyard were set up by Xue'er."

When Ye Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times. The formations in this courtyard were exquisitely arranged, but he didn't expect it to be made by a girl.

There was a look of pride in the girl's eyes.

Lin Yunshan asked: "Can Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Feng be in the courtyard?"

The girl replied: "Senior Xu went to the auction house in the city early in the morning. Senior Feng has been practicing in his room and has not gone out."

While talking, a door in the courtyard creaked open from inside, and a middle-aged woman wearing a purple skirt and a half-mask on her face walked out of the room.

The middle-aged woman wore two Danjie grade scimitars on her waist, and an aura of the peak of Danjie's early stage was released from her body.

When Lin Yunshan saw the woman, he introduced to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is Friend Daoist Han."

The woman in purple skirt walked up to Lin Yunshan, nodded to Ye Zhou expressionlessly, then turned to look at Lin Yunshan and said: "This is the new monk who joined our team? Why is he so unfamiliar? Could it be that he is just here? Will the desert be gone soon?”

The woman in the purple skirt frowned slightly when she said this.

Lin Yunshan said: "Sanniang, this is Fellow Daoist Ye who escorted Miss Qi safely back to the city a few days ago."

When Han Sanniang heard this, her slightly frowned brows relaxed, and finally there was a wave of emotion in her eyes when she looked at Ye Zhou.

"I have heard about Fellow Daoist Ye for a long time. Since Fellow Daoist Ye dared to take Miss Qi through the Guijue Desert to Xianliu City, I think he has some skills. He will not be buried in the Guijue Desert without any bones like the previous monks."

After Han Sanniang finished speaking, she said to Lin Yunshan: "I want to go out. There is news from the city's garrison department, asking us to get the route map for this time out of the city."

After Han Sanniang finished speaking, she said sorry to Ye Zhou and left in a hurry.

Lin Yunshan welcomed Ye Zhou to sit on a stone table and chair under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Chu Wu, who had been following Lin Yunshan, returned to the room without saying a word. Only Lin Yunshan, Ye Zhou and Lin Xueer were left in the courtyard.

Lin Yunshan picked up the teapot on the stove, poured a cup of tea for Ye Zhou, and said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I called you here to tell you that early in the morning it will be our turn for Team C to go out to patrol the city. I hope Fellow Taoist, make preparations to leave the city in the next two days, and prepare more elixirs, talismans and other items to deal with the spiritual insects in the Ghost Desert."

Ye Zhou frowned when he heard this and said: "I heard from fellow Taoist Cheng that there is still one month until Team C goes to patrol outside the city next time. Why is it suddenly brought forward?"

Lin Yunshan said: "Recently, for some unknown reason, the spirit insects in the Guijue Desert have been rioting frequently, and there seems to be signs of an attack on the city, so we were ordered to set off early to investigate the situation in the Guijue Desert."

After Lin Yunshan finished speaking, he added: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye, after returning from this patrol in the city, you will still rest for two months as before."

When Ye Zhou heard this, he didn't say anything.

Lin Yunshan told Ye Zhou some precautions after entering the Ghost Desert, which were roughly the same as what Ye Zhou had seen on the jade slips before.

Half an hour later, Lin Yunshan took a sip of tea from the cup and said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, there are only so many things I know about the precautions in the Ghost Desert."

"I would also like to remind you that due to the complex environment in the Ghost Desert, there are countless spiritual insects hiding under the yellow sand. You must be careful after entering the Ghost Desert and don't be careless. There are already many in Xianliu City. The monks at the Core Formation Realm were buried in the Ghost Desert, and what’s more, even a senior at the Nascent Soul Realm died in the mouth of a spiritual insect.”

When Lin Yunshan said this, the expression on his face was very solemn.

Ye Zhou said: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your advice. I will definitely act with caution."

At this moment, someone heard the closed courtyard door being pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged male cultivator wearing a gray coarse cloth and slovenly walked in from the door. There was a vague aura of mid-stage alchemy. Released from the body.

The middle-aged male cultivator had a big yellow gourd hanging on his waist and two jars of unopened wine in his hands, and he was walking happily into the courtyard.

After Lin Yunshan saw the person coming, he stood up and called out to the person: "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is Fellow Daoist Ye who has recently joined our team."

The middle-aged male cultivator walked towards Ye Zhou with a wine jar in his arms, and said to Ye Zhou with a smile: "I have seen you at the City Lord's Mansion before. You are the Ye Zhou who escorted Miss Qi back to the city. I didn't expect you to choose Go on patrol outside the city."

Ye Zhou thought for a moment and did not remember seeing this person in the city lord's mansion.

The middle-aged male cultivator seemed to have seen what Ye Zhou was thinking, and said: "With my cultivation level, I am not qualified to participate in the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion. I saw you from a distance when I went to the kitchen to have a drink. one side."

Ye Zhou bowed his hands to the middle-aged male cultivator.

The middle-aged male cultivator smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, my name is Xu Zhuo. I am a drunkard because of Zhuojiu."

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. Daoyou Ye dares to lead people through the Ghost Desert alone at such a young age. I think this small Xianliu City will not be able to trap you."

"I just got two jars of good wine from the auction house today, why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

When Xu Zhuo said this, he smiled and patted the wine jar in his hand.

Ye Zhou politely refused.

Seeing this, Xu Zhuo no longer forced Ye Zhou and turned around and walked towards the room where he lived.

When Xu Zhuo walked to the door of the room, he stopped and glanced at the closed door of the next room. The smile on his face softened a lot. He turned to look at Lin Yunshan and said, "He hasn't come out yet?"

Lin Yunshan nodded.

Xu Zhuo sighed lightly and said to Lin Yunshan: "Since Fellow Daoist Ye has joined our team, otherwise we will let Brother Feng stay in the city to recover from his injuries this time."

Lin Yunshan said: "That's what I have in mind, but I'm afraid Brother Feng won't."

Hearing this, Xu Zhuo had a look of helplessness on his face, shook his head, pushed open the door, and entered the room.

Lin Yunshan glanced at the closed door for a moment, then turned to Ye Zhou and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, Mr. Li must have told you about the situation of our Team C."

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "Mr. Li said that there was a monk in the Core Formation Realm in your team C who suffered some injuries in the Ghost Desert when he went to patrol outside the city last time. Could it be this fellow Feng Daoist?"

Lin Yunshan nodded and said: "Last time on our way back from patrol, we were suddenly attacked by a large number of Black Spirit Flame Scorpions. Fellow Daoist Feng was injured because of this. He was poisoned by the Black Spirit Flame Scorpions' fire, and his strength plummeted."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou had a look of doubt in his eyes: "The Black Spirit Flame Scorpion usually lives underground and rarely comes out. How did you provoke the Black Spirit Flame Scorpion?"

Lin Yunshan shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I don't know. We were very careful all the way and hardly made any noise."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Lin Yunshan added: "The fire poison of the Wuling Flame Scorpion is really powerful. We have tried all kinds of methods, but we can't get rid of the fire poison in his body."

"Brother Feng was originally in the middle stage of Jindan, but in just one month, he has fallen to the early stage of Jindan. If he goes out of the city with us on patrol this time, it will be dangerous."

When Lin Yunshan said this, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, and the smile on Lin Xueer's face, who was standing behind Lin Yunshan, also disappeared.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open with a bang. Ye Zhou and the other two turned their heads to look at the wide-open courtyard door, only to see Han Sanniang walking in angrily from outside the door, holding a jade slip tightly in her hand.

Lin Yunshan frowned and looked at Han Sanniang and asked, "Sanniang, what's wrong?"

Han Sanniang slapped the jade slip in her hand on the stone table and said to Lin Yunshan coldly, "Look for yourself!"

Lin Yunshan grabbed the jade slip and released his spiritual sense to explore the jade slip. After a moment, Lin Yunshan's expression became extremely gloomy.

Lin Yunshan withdrew his consciousness and said, "Sanniang, did the people from the garrison get the wrong route map? This route map is clearly the route map we took to enter the Ghost Desert last time."

Han Sanniang snorted coldly and said, "I hope they got the wrong route map. They told me that this route was decided by the higher-ups, and we must patrol along this route into the Ghost Desert."

"Everyone in Xianliu City knows that if we patrol along the last route, the danger will greatly increase. It seems that the higher-ups want all of our Team C to die in the Ghost Desert."

Lin Xueer, who was standing aside, turned pale instantly when she heard this. She worriedly grabbed Lin Yunshan's sleeve. Lin Yunshan gently patted Lin Xueer's arm and sent her away.

Seeing Lin Xueer leave the courtyard, Lin Yunshan said to Han Sanniang: "I will go to find Fellow Daoist Zhang of the garrison to see what the people above mean."

Han Sanniang said to Lin Yunshan: "No need to go, Fellow Daoist Zhang is not in the garrison. The people in the garrison said that he was transferred to the city lord's mansion yesterday."

Lin Yunshan frowned slightly when he heard this.

Han Sanniang said again: "When I came back, I asked someone about this matter. Someone told me that this matter is related to Baili Yu. The specific reason may be known later."

Lin Yunshan frowned and murmured: "Bai Li Yu? We have never had any intersection with him, let alone offending him. Why did he arrange us to take the last patrol route?"

Han Sanniang sat silently on the stone bench beside her and did not speak, as if waiting for something.

Ye Zhou suddenly remembered that he had heard the city lord mention at the banquet before that Baili Yu seemed to have led people into the Ghost Desert some time ago. Could the reason for his entry into the Ghost Desert be related to this matter?
