Seeking Immortality

I saw that in the entire "Ronghua Mountain", there were bursts of fairy music, and there were fairy clouds everywhere. Occasionally, cranes spread their wings and flew by. Underfoot were thousands of trees and strange rocks. At a glance, it felt like I was in a fairyland. . It makes people feel intoxicated.

"The scenery of Ronghua Mountain is three points better than that of Jiuhua Mountain. It is indeed a rare scenery in the vast land of China."

Xu Qingfan thought secretly as he followed the elder named Deng towards the guest room.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how do you feel? Is the scenery of Ronghua Mountain worthy of my fellow Daoist's attention?" Elder Deng turned to Xu Qingfan and asked.

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded, and said: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such beautiful scenery. It is really rare in the world."

Elder Deng explained: "Every plant and tree here was planted by the founder, Master Qingxu, and every stone and pavilion was personally decorated by him."

Xu Qingfan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Master Qingxu, in addition to his mastery of martial arts, would also be so good at arranging scenery. Since he appeared in the world of immortality, he is truly a person of first-class talent and intelligence."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Elder Deng's expression became even happier, and he began to talk endlessly to Xu Qingfan about the great achievements of Master Qingxu back then. It can be seen that this Elder Deng has great respect for Qingxu, the founder of the Qingxu Sect lineage. The real person admired him so much that he even worshiped him. Along the way, he kept talking to Xu Qingfan about how good the real Qingxu was, which made Xu Qingfan dumbfounded. Living freak. I was originally thinking about whether I could find something out of Elder Deng's mouth, but I found that I had no chance to interrupt.

that's all. When Elder Deng kept talking and Xu Qingfan only responded, the two finally came to the guest room of "Qingxumen" used to entertain guests. Looking around, they saw a small courtyard with a single door, decorated with flowers and plants. It's exquisite.

After Elder Deng realized that he and Xu Qingfan had arrived at their destination, he sighed with unfinished content. Knowing that his mission has been completed, he has no chance to tell Xu Qingfan about the great achievements of Master Qingxu in a short period of time.

After the two people descended from the clouds, two Qingxu disciples quickly walked up to them. He bowed to Elder Deng.

Elder Deng pointed at Xu Qingfan and said to the two of them: "This is fellow Taoist Xu Fan in the Southern Wilderness. Brother Xuan Lingzi specially invited him to come to our Qingxu Sect to preach. You must take good care of Senior Xu these days."

After the two Qingxu disciples heard what Elder Deng said, they were slightly startled. The eyes they looked at Xu Qingfan were different. You must know that the monks who can be invited to preach at the "Qingxu Sect" are those who have great skills in the sect. A person who is one of the best in realm, or a person who is unique and well-known in the world. Inviting casual cultivators to "Qingxu Sect" to preach is rare, and the name Xu Fan has never been heard of by the two of them. So when they heard that Xu Qingfan actually came to "Qingxu Sect" to preach, the two of them were surprised, but they also respected Xu Qingfan.

"Since it was invited by Uncle Xuan Lingzi, then this senior Xu Fan must be outstanding in some way."

Think of this. The two disciples were also busy bowing to Xu Qingfan. The expression was full of respect.

Then, under the arrangement of Elder Deng and the two Qingxu disciples, Xu Qingfan moved into a small independent courtyard at the outermost part of the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you need anything, just call these two juniors. They are specially responsible for entertaining distinguished guests."

When everything was arranged, Elder Deng pointed at the two disciples and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Deng." Xu Qingfan nodded with a smile.

After Xu Qingfan was properly arranged. Elder Deng was also prepared to continue talking freely with Xu Qingfan. The expression on his face suddenly changed, and then he sighed regretfully. He said to Xu Qingfan: "Fellow Daoist Xu, Senior Brother Xuan Lingzi suddenly held a meeting of elders and asked me to rush there immediately. I think he has to arrange for you to preach. It seems that we will not be able to talk freely today. After the meeting of elders is over, I will How about we talk to you again?”

Hearing Elder Deng's words and thinking of this guy's endless talk along the way, Xu Qingfan's expression changed slightly. This kind of talkative cultivator was the only one Xu Qingfan had seen in his life. He really couldn't figure out how such a talkative person could achieve such a level of practicality. Danqi, but since Elder Deng said it, Xu Qingfan had no choice but to agree, but at the same time he secretly decided in his heart that as long as Elder Deng came to him, he would meditate.

At the same time, the two Qingxu disciples looked at Xu Qingfan with sympathetic expressions in their eyes. Apparently, Elder Deng's croaking had long been famous in the Qingxu Sect.

When Elder Deng left, both Xu Qingfan and the two disciples let out a long sigh.

But Xu Qingfan suddenly turned his head and smiled at the two Qingxu disciples: "Two fellow Taoists, this is my first time coming to Qingxu Sect. Please tell me about the current situation of Qingxu Sect. How about that? It will also help me prepare for the next sermon.”

But on the other hand, after Xuan Lingzi announced that he would hold an elders' meeting, not long after, more than forty Qingxu elders who had stayed in the mountain gathered in the "Qingxu Hall" at the top of "Ronghua Mountain".

Because the Qingxu Sect does not have a leader at this time, the position of the middle leader in the "Qingxu Hall" is empty, while Xuan Lingzi and another tall, thin old man sit on one side and one on the right. Under the main position.

I saw the old man sitting on the lower right side of the main seat. He was tall and thin, with an eagle nose and eagle eyes, and a gray head. However, he was Huan Lingzi, who was as famous as Xuan Lingzi in the "Qingxu Sect".

The other more than forty elders were sitting under the two of them, and the atmosphere was solemn. When everyone arrived, Huan Lingzi couldn't bear it any longer and asked Xuan Lingzi, "Xuan Lingzi, why did you call us here?"

Xuan Lingzi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Huan Lingzi's words were full of rudeness. But he knew that this was not the time for a quarrel, so he just snorted coldly, and then told the elders about Xu Qingfan's matter. Told it once.

As Xuan Lingzi narrated, all the elders couldn't help but frown.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that Xu Fan came to see Uncle Zizhen for another purpose?"

After Xuan Lingzi finished speaking, Huan Lingzi asked first.

Xuan Lingzi shook his head and said: "I don't know. Although Xu Fan's words are impeccable, what he said are things that we cannot verify, and we have never heard of Xu Fan. This time suddenly comes It is indeed a bit strange to find Master Zizhen. You must know that some time ago, when we overthrew Qing Lingzi, it caused a lot of discussion in the immortal world. I think people who are interested will be wondering why Master Zizhen did not show up from the beginning to the end. . And Uncle Zizhen had friends all over the world, so it is not surprising that he would send someone to spy on me at this time. "

After hearing Xuan Lingzi's words, the elders frowned even more, their eyes showing contemplation.

Huan Lingzi said: "But since you can't prove that he has ulterior motives, is it inappropriate to invite him to my Ronghua Mountain like this?

Xuan Lingzi shook his head and said: "We are not afraid of ten thousand, we are afraid of the worst. We should be extremely careful when we come to see Master Zizhen at this time. You know, once the world of cultivators knows that Master Zizhen is detained by us, Then our Qingxu Sect will be in trouble without a Mahayana-level master in charge. From now on, the reputation of our Qingxu Sect will be irretrievably lost, so I invited Xu Fan to my Ronghua Mountain in the name of preaching. , this way it’s easier to control the surveillance.”

After Huan Lingzi frowned and thought for a moment, he suddenly turned to the next elder and asked: "Junior Brother Liu, among our Qingxu Sect, you are the most agile-thinking and good at analyzing. What do you think of this matter?"

The person Huan Lingzi asked was a middle-aged monk with an elegant and calm expression, dressed in white and holding a folding fan.

But when Elder Liu heard Huan Lingzi's question, he was not too hasty. He first shook the folding fan in his hand, and then said to Xuan Lingzi: "This time, it's Senior Brother Xuan Lingzi who is thinking about you." Too bad."

Xuan Lingzi frowned and asked, "How do you say this?"

Elder Liu said: "Senior brother, you should not bring Xu Fan to Ronghua Mountain, let alone invite Xu Qingfan in front of other monks."

After a pause, Elder Liu continued: "If you have not invited him, then just send someone to follow him secretly to see if he is still staying around our Ronghua Mountain in the next period of time. We can know if he has ulterior motives. And even if we invite him, we should not do it in front of other people, because in this case, even if we have suspicions about him, we will not be able to force him to stay in Ronghua Mountain. "

Xuan Lingzi was not angry after hearing Elder Liu's words, and just asked: "Is there any remedy?"

There was a look of contemplation in Elder Liu's eyes. After a moment, he closed the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Then let me spy on this casual cultivator named Xu Fan first, and then decide on a countermeasure."
