Seeking Immortality

"Someone is coming."

Looking at the distance, Xu Qingfan said slowly.

Perhaps because they had experienced too many ups and downs during this period, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were a little nervous. After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, their bodies immediately tensed up, and the spiritual energy in their bodies gathered, as if they were ready to fight back at any time.

Seeing Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong's faces full of restraint, Xu Qingfan shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, the people coming are friends, not enemies."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were slightly stunned, but after a moment, they also sensed the breath of those people. There were about ten people, but they were so familiar.

About half a cup of tea later, more than ten figures appeared faintly on the edge of the sky, and they quickly grew bigger in the eyes of everyone. In a flash, they were less than a hundred feet away from the four people. Looking around, they turned out to be Li Yuhan, Lu Qingshang and others who had escaped from this valley two months ago! !

Originally, Xu Qingfan and the others were worried that they would meet the monsters head-on and eventually die, but now it seems that none of the twelve people who left were missing, and it is clear that they were safe.

I just don't know why Li Yuhan brought these people back. If he wanted to come back to rescue Xu Qingfan and others, he would at least bring some masters from "Ronghua Mountain". Two months is enough for them to report back and forth.

Faintly, Xu Qingfan had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Junior Brother Xu!! Junior Brother Jin!!"

"Uncle Master Xu!! Uncle Master Jin!!"

"Junior Sister Xu!!"

From afar. The surprised shouts of Lu Qingshang, Li Yuhan, Lu Ziqing and others came. There was a sense of relief in them.

Xu Qingfan looked at Jin Qinghan and Dongfang Qingling. But he found that the other party's face was as solemn as his own. Obviously, Li Yuhan and others returned intact. There was still a strong sense of fatigue and embarrassment between their figures. And they did not bring any reinforcements. Obviously, something went wrong.

After the three of them nodded to each other, Xu Xiurong, who was in a state of surprise, hurried to greet the crowd.

"Junior Brother Xu. Junior Brother Jin. It's great that you two are okay."

Lu Qingshang looked at Xu Qingfan and the others and was surprised. But he still couldn't hide the fatigue and deep panic in his eyes.

With Lu Qingshang's cynical temperament, it was not easy to make him panic, unless something earth-shattering really happened.

"Junior Li Yuhan, meet all the uncles."

Li Yuhan flew to Xu Qingfan and the others first and bowed.

In theory, although Li Yuhan is a third-generation disciple of Jiuhua, his status in Jiuhua is still higher than most second-generation disciples, but every time he sees a second-generation disciple, he still performs full etiquette, but this time when Li Yuhan performed the ceremony, his tone was hurried, and his eyes were as panicked as Lu Qingshang's. Obviously, something serious really happened. On the other side, Lv Ziqing and Shang Nianyao flew to Xu Xiurong, their faces full of concern. They asked about the details of the remaining twelve people. Five of them were monks from the remaining "Ciyun Temple" team. At this time, their faces were full of anxiety. They obviously wanted to know the safety of Bo Guangyan and Bo Hui, but they forced themselves not to ask. It seemed that something was more important than the safety of Bo Guangyan and Bo Hui.

"Junior Brother Li, what happened? Why did you come back like this? But what happened? Did you encounter the group of monsters?"

After returning the gift, Xu Qingfan asked hurriedly.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Li Yuhan could no longer hide the panic on his face, and hurriedly told Xu Qingfan what they saw and heard after leaving the Blood Valley.

It turned out that with the help of Jin Qinghan, Li Yuhan and others escaped from this Blood Valley. After waiting for an hour, Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan and others did not appear, so they did not hesitate. Rushed back to the location of "Ronghua Mountain".

However, just as Xu Qingfan and others guessed, halfway through. Li Yuhan and others encountered countless southern wilderness monsters that were heading towards the North Ice. However, these southern wilderness monsters seemed to have something urgent to complete, so although they noticed Li Yuhan and others, they did not take it seriously. They only sent a group of more than 20 earth-level monsters to rob and kill Li Yuhan and others. Fortunately, Li Yuhan commanded well and took everyone to hide for more than ten days, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the monster team.

After encountering the overwhelming group of monsters, Li Yuhan and others became more panicked, and flew faster towards the direction of "Ronghua Mountain", wanting to report what they saw and heard in this action to the leaders and masters of the Righteous Alliance as soon as possible.

However, when Li Yuhan and others finally arrived near "Ronghua Mountain" after rushing, they were stunned by the scene near "Ronghua Mountain".

If the monsters they encountered on the way can be described as covering the sky and the earth, then the monsters near "Ronghua Mountain" can only be described as endless. Roughly estimated, the number is several times that of the monsters they encountered on the way. When Li Yuhan and others arrived, they were besieging "Ronghua Mountain". Under the impact of the endless waves of monsters, "Ronghua Mountain" was still shaky and seemed to be broken at any time, although it was protected by countless mountain protection formations and mechanisms.

Li Yuhan and others wanted to meet up with the people in "Ronghua Mountain", but the monsters surrounded the entire Ronghua Mountain and left them no chance to sneak in. Several times, they were even discovered by some patrolling monsters, and they were chased and fled again, and narrowly escaped death.

In desperation, Li Yuhan finally made a decisive decision and quickly returned to the bloody valley. Firstly, it was to ensure the safety of Xu Qingfan and others, and secondly, if Xu Qingfan and others finally defeated the mysterious opponent and the "bestiality monk" in the bloody valley. , after joining together, not only did their strength greatly increase, but they also gained one or two more leaders.

After hearing Li Yuhan slowly tell the whole story, Xu Qingfan's face became more and more serious. He had already thought of various situations and countermeasures for the sudden arrival of the Southern Wilderness monsters in the prosperous Middle-earth, but even Xu Qingfan The worst-case scenario in his mind was not as bad as what Li Yuhan said.

There are so many monsters. In addition to the group seen by Dongfang Qingling, Li Yuhan and others, there are even more monsters besieging "Ronghua Mountain"! !

What's more. Xu Qingfan understood better than others that although "Ronghua Mountain" seemed to be tightly guarded, there were countless protective formations and mechanisms. But it is extremely empty inside. Not only are a large number of monks in the alchemy stage who are the backbone of the force sent out by the Righteous Alliance to perform tasks, but the Grand Masters who are the last support and the biggest backer of the Righteous Alliance are missing at this time. As a result, the headquarters of the Righteous Alliance could really be destroyed by countless monsters at any time.

And judging from what Li Yuhan said. There are more than one wave of beasts invading the prosperous Middle-earth this time, and the teams sent to various places to perform tasks are likely to be defeated by the monster beasts raging in various places in the prosperous Middle-earth.

By that time, "Ronghua Mountain" has been defeated and all the teams have been killed. Then what else can the Righteous Alliance have left? You can't just let those masters do everything with their own hands, right?

More importantly, in Ronghua Mountain, three of Xu Qingfan's disciples, as well as many Jiuhua disciples and Righteous Alliance monks who were familiar with Xu Qingfan, were still staying there at this time. Once "Ronghua Mountain" is defeated...

Xu Qingfan simply couldn't imagine the consequences.

After hearing Li Yuhan's words, Dongfang Qingling and Jin Qinghan turned pale for a long time. Dongfang Qingling forced a smile and said: "There are still more than ten grandmasters of my righteous generation in Ronghua Mountain. Even if those monsters continue to besiege me, it will not be a serious problem."

After hearing Dongfang Qingling's words, although everyone's faces were still worried, they finally calmed down a little.

Xu Qingfan didn't want to break everyone's illusions, but he still wanted everyone to see the reality clearly. So after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is one thing that must be known to all fellow Taoists. Five months ago, all the masters left Ronghua Mountain and have not returned yet."

"What?"

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone's body trembled, and their faces became increasingly pale and desperate.

At this time in "Ronghua Mountain", who doesn't care about the people trapped there? If "Ronghua Mountain" is once defeated. Xu Qingfan believed it. I am afraid that more than half of the people on the field will lose their minds in an instant.

But this kind of despair is not what Xu Qingfan needs.

After looking around, everyone seemed to be in despair. When they saw that although Li Yuhan and Dongfang Qingling were pale, they were as desperate as others, but their eyes showed thoughtfulness, while Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang looked at him with expectation and trust, Xu Qingfan's I finally felt a little more relieved.

His heart moved slightly, and then Xu Qingfan turned to Dongfang Qingling and Li Yuhan and asked: "Junior Sister Dongfang, Junior Nephew Li, if you two have any ideas, just tell them."

After Li Yuhan and Dongfang Qingling looked at each other, they both gestured to the other to speak first, but in the end it was Dongfang Qingling who took the lead and said: "Things are not desperate now. Although Ronghua Mountain is trapped by countless monsters, But Ronghua Mountain has four great formations jointly set up by the masters, and there are countless other formations set up by masters of various factions. Although there are many monsters and they are strong, it cannot be broken overnight. Finished, so we still have time and opportunity.”

Li Yuhan nodded and said: "Also, the masters suddenly left Ronghua Mountain. Obviously they had important matters, but they would never abandon the Righteous Alliance and ignore me. I think as long as we know the situation in Ronghua Mountain at this time, The masters will definitely rush back. As long as we find the masters and show the current situation, with the help of the masters, it is not impossible to kill all those monsters. "

Lu Ziqing nodded slightly. After hearing Dongfang Qingling's words, his expression finally calmed down a little, and he asked hesitantly: "Then what the two fellow Taoists mean is that our chance lies in before those monsters attack Ronghua Mountain." Find all the masters?”

Looking at everyone who was no longer so desperate, Xu Qingfan shook his head and said slowly: "Not only that, during this period of time, we have more things to do. First, we need to contact Ronghua Mountain People, tell them that we are already thinking of ways to find the masters and organize forces to help them, but now we are asking them to do their best to stop the attack of the monster group, and to know how long they can hold on, so that they can wait for me. Actions set a tone.”

Said. Xu Qingfan turned his eyes to the five remaining "Ciyun Temple" monks. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Masters, as far as I know, there is a trick in the Taoism of Ciyun Temple called Buddha Appearance, regardless of the distance. , can you release your own soul anywhere in the world?"

A monk from "Ciyun Temple" was slightly startled, but he still nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, but the method of the Buddha's appearance is one of the highest Buddhist methods in our Ciyun Temple. Our cultivation is shallow, but it is He is unable to perform it. If Senior Brother Bo Guangyan is still here, then he can perform it alone."

After finishing speaking, the monk could no longer hold back the anxiety in his heart and asked: "Di Yangzun, but you don't know where my senior brother Bo Guangyan is now?"

A sad look flashed across Xu Qingfan's face, and he said slowly: "Everyone, follow me."

Said. Xu Qingfan took everyone to the hidden cave.

Deep in the cave, Bo Guangyan sat blankly with a dull expression. No matter how his five junior brothers call him. There was no response. Seeing the sad expressions on the faces of the five "Ciyun Temple" monks and the dull look on Bo Guangyan's face, everyone felt sad.

Xu Qingfan comforted him and said: "Master Bo Guangyan is just mentally restrained and severely injured. If the siege of Ronghua Mountain is once rescued, I will seek help from all the masters. With the methods of the masters, I will definitely be able to restore Master Bo Guangyan."

Hear Xu Qingfan's relief. The expressions of the five "Ciyun Temple" monks finally became calmer.

Then, Xu Qingfan frowned and asked: "But the Buddha's method is really hopeless?"

After the first monk hesitated for a moment, he glanced at the other four monks, and the other four monks all nodded to the monk with determination on their faces.

Seeing the expressions of his companions, the sad look on the monk's face flashed away, and then turned to Xu Qingfan and said: "There is still a way, and that is to let the five of me work together. Just in this way. Although it can The spirit of the Lord will be thrown into Ronghua Mountain, but the duration of the Buddha's appearance is not only short-lived, but more importantly, after the performance, we will be out of power for several days."

In fact, even though the five of them joined forces, it was still impossible for them to perform Buddhist Dharma that was much higher than their abilities. This time they wanted to perform the "Buddha Appearance" technique, but they still had to pay part of their lifespan. of. If they persist for too long, the five of them may die due to depletion of longevity.

Just to prevent others from worrying, the five people did not explain the matter.

After Xu Qingfan heard what the five monks said, his face showed surprise. He bowed to the five monks and thanked them: "After a while, I will rely on the masters."

"Di Yangzun, you're welcome."

The five monks quickly returned the courtesy.

After Xu Qingfan finished saluting, he led everyone out of the narrow cave, and then said: "After contacting the people in Ronghua Mountain, in addition to finding ways to contact the masters, we also need to find ways to contact the various branches scattered across the vast land of China. The team must find a way to contact us. One more person will give us more strength, and secondly, we can preserve the strength of our Righteous Alliance as much as possible.”

With that said, Xu Qingfan turned to look at Li Yuhan beside him and asked, "Do you know the missions and locations of the teams sent by the Righteous Alliance?"

"I know." Li Yuhan nodded and said.

Different positions of one person also represent different views and ways of doing things. Although Xu Qingfan is only the leader of a small team in the Righteous Alliance, he is also the future leader of Jiuhua. He must serve Jiuhua. responsible for China's future.

Although the Righteous Alliance is called the Righteous Way, it is not impossible to abandon or sacrifice Jiuhua in order to complete something. Therefore, although he is in the middle of the Righteous Alliance, he has inquired more about the actions and situations of the Righteous Alliance over the years, and will What actions there will be, what kind of characters each team has, and what kind of tasks they have. They are all focused on finding out. One day they will be used, and the person responsible for finding out is Li Yuhan.

But this time, the information Xu Qingfan had collected for many years was finally put to use.

Hearing Li Yuhan's affirmative answer, a look of relief flashed on Xu Qingfan's face and he said: "After a while, you will tell all the fellow Taoists where each team may be, and everyone spreads out and spreads the strength of the Righteous Path Alliance everywhere. Gather them together and let them spread out to help find the masters and other teams. This way, we can move much faster."

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone nodded in agreement with admiration on their faces.

Xu Qingfan looked around at the people who seemed to see hope shining in their eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart. In his opinion, when the monsters of the Southern Wilderness attacked this time, the focus was not on rescue, but on figuring out why they suddenly attacked the prosperous Middle Earth. The reason is that those monster beasts have been trapped in the southern wilderness for tens of thousands of years. There must be some reason for suddenly gathering a crowd to attack. And after arriving in the prosperous middle-earth, why did they besiege "Ronghua Mountain", and Dongfang Qingling and Li Yuhan successively Why did the group of monster beasts that we encountered come to the Arctic?

If these reasons can be clarified, the whole incident of the monster attack will undoubtedly be much simpler. However, it takes too much time to figure out these reasons, and there is no clue at the beginning. Xu Qingfan can only hope and I can single-handedly integrate the forces of the Righteous Alliance outside "Ronghua Mountain" and find the masters.

While Xu Qingfan was thinking secretly, Li Yuhan had recorded the possible locations of each team at this time on pieces of green slips, and handed them to others.

Seeing that everyone's tasks had been assigned, Xu Qingfan said to the five "Ciyun Temple" monks: "Masters, you can start."

The five "Ciyun Temple" monks nodded slightly, then sat down in five corners around Xu Qingfan, closed their eyes and meditated for a moment, and then began to chant various Buddhist sounds.

Amidst the Buddhist sounds, a ""-shaped shadow formed above the heads of the six people, with golden light falling.

Xu Qingfan felt his mind was in a trance, and he closed his eyes involuntarily. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the world in front of him had changed drastically.

The blood-colored valley was still in front of him, but some shadows suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, it was the scenery of "Ronghua Mountain" and the people of "Ronghua Mountain". At this time, they were busy in the hustle and bustle. Many people were exhausted and fell to the ground with pale faces.

Gradually, these shadows gradually became clearer, as if they really existed, but the blood-colored valley in front of Xu Qingfan still existed, as if Xu Qingfan existed in two different worlds at the same time, which felt extremely strange.

When the scenery of "Ronghua Mountain" gradually became clear, the people of the Righteous Alliance who were busy in front of Xu Qingfan couldn't help but burst into an uproar, and looked at Xu Qingfan who suddenly appeared in front of them in surprise.

"Please call the heads of the sects, I have something important to discuss."

Xu Qingfan called out loudly, but he could not make a sound. However, Xu Qingfan's meaning was clearly understood by everyone.

Many people who had seen Xu Qingfan had already recognized his identity. Although they did not know why Xu Qingfan suddenly appeared, after hearing Xu Qingfan's words, they hurriedly ran to the distance and followed Xu Qingfan's instructions to find the heads of the sects.

Feeling his real and fake body, looking at the two completely different but overlapping worlds in front of him, although Xu Qingfan was anxious, he still couldn't help but sigh that this "Buddha Appearance" was really mysterious and worthy of being one of the supreme Buddhist teachings of "Ciyu Temple".

While Xu Qingfan was sighing, more than 20 people came quickly. They were the masters who stayed in "Ronghua Mountain". Zhang Hualing of Jiuhua no longer closed his eyes to suppress the evil spirit in his heart and mixed in with them. What surprised Xu Qingfan was that his three disciples, Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu, also followed behind the masters.

ps: Make up for yesterday's update. There will be another update before 11 o'clock. I was doing the two-point one-line action between the toilet and the bed all night yesterday. Now I am exhausted and a little dehydrated. Well, that's it.
