"Senior Zhen Yuan …" Shen Luo recognized the old man at a glance.
"Blessed Immeasurable Celestial Venerable, Shen Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your cultivation has improved again, congratulations." Zhen Yuanzi turned around and smiled.
Seeing this, Shen Luo immediately straightened his palm and bowed respectfully. Then, he asked in surprise,
Then, he asked in surprise, "Senior, did you come to Tianji City just for me?"
"You helped save the ginseng fruit tree and Fifth Manor hasn't thanked you properly yet. Why should I come here personally? Besides, I haven't seen Little Master for many years. It's a good time to catch up, "Zhen Yuanzi said.
"I sent a letter to the Chang 'an government and Fifth Manor to tell you about what happened at Lion Camel Ridge. Did you receive it? It was Lion Camel Ridge who deliberately harmed the ginseng tree. They deliberately wanted to provoke conflict between the government and Fifth Manor to create chaos, "Shen Luo said hurriedly, remembering something.
"I've already read the letter, so I came to see you this time to understand the situation at Lion Camel Ridge in detail," Zhen Yuanzi said, nodding.
Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment. Then, he said, "The situation at Lion Camel Ridge is a little complicated. Senior, please listen to me in detail …"
Shen Luo told Zhen Yuanzi in detail about what had happened at Lion Camel Ridge.
"I already knew that these Demons were harboring evil intentions. The so-called peaceful retreat was just a stopgap measure," Zhen Yuanzi said in a low voice.
"Senior, in fact, I feel that the current situation in the Three Realms is even more dangerous. This time in the Black Abyss Maze, I also met Devil Heart, the deputy chief of Devil King's Stronghold. That guy …" Shen Luo then told Zhen Yuanzi about his encounter with Devil Heart and the blood-red bone staff in the Black Abyss Maze Maze.
In the end, Shen Luo sighed and said, "To be honest, I've always felt that the Demonic Calamity of the Three Realms hasn't truly ended."
"It's not just you. This old man is deeply worried as well. The Demons have been fighting for supremacy in the Three Realms for a long time. Even without Chi You as their leader, they have been fighting non-stop all these years. How can they just let it go so easily?" Zhen Yuanzi said.
"In my opinion, they're just trying to avoid the brunt of the attack. They've turned the open battle into a secret battle. We don't know what they're planning at all. We're in the open while the enemy is in the dark. It's very disadvantageous for us," Shen Luo continued.
"That is indeed the case. Unfortunately, the Three Realms have been shrouded in the shadow of the Demonic Calamity for far too long. Now that they are immersed in the joy of the Demonic Calamity being over, they refuse to wake up. When it comes to the Demons, they refuse to give up on their evil intentions and the Demonic Calamity has yet to be eliminated. Instead, they are seen as destroying the harmony of the Three Realms. Honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. There are too many people who cut off their own ears and deceive themselves, "Zhen Yuanzi said.
"If this continues, the Three Realms will be in danger." Shen Luo sighed.
"Actually, it's not that there aren't any clear-headed people. It's just that most of them have ulterior motives. They want to take advantage of the Demons' weakened state to attempt to cultivate Demonic Dao divine abilities and control Demonic Artifacts. They want to use unorthodox methods to quickly increase their strength and compete with the other realms. Little do they know that although Demonic Dao cultivation techniques can be improved at lightning speed and Demonic Artifacts are powerful, it's still an unorthodox path for humans and Immortals. It's a wrong path. Once they take a wrong step, they might be consigned to eternal damnation, "Zhen Yuanzi said slowly. His gaze met with Shen Luo's.
Shen Luo's body suddenly trembled. He immediately understood that Zhen Yuan Daisen had already seen through him and knew that he had several Demonic Artifacts on him. His previous words were more of a warning to him.
"This junior understands senior's words. It's just that this junior's current situation is somewhat unique. However, this junior will naturally not forget senior's teachings, "Shen Luo said with cupped fists.
"It's good that you know what you're doing. I won't say anything more. Regarding the Demons, in the future, you can send a message to Wu Zhuang Guan. If you're in danger, use this jade pendant to contact me. No matter how far away we are, I will receive the message and come to help you. "
After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, a crescent-shaped green jade pendant flew up and landed in front of Shen Luo.
"Thank you, senior." Shen Luo accepted it and cupped his fists to thank him.
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and turned to leave …
A few days later, Shen Luo and Fu Donglai did not stay for long. After bidding farewell to the Young Master, they left Tianji City.
The two of them arrived outside the city. Shen Luo asked, "Brother Fu, you've suffered enough on this trip to Tianji City with me. What do you plan to do next? Return to the Tang government? "
Fu Donglai thought seriously for a moment and shook his head.
"I won't return to the government. I'll stay there and deal with official documents every day. When I'm free, I'll read my travel notes. It's been relaxing. However, during this period of time, I've realized that my cultivation is too weak. I'll be a burden wherever I go. After that, I've made up my mind. I'll join Fangcun Mountain, "Fu Donglai said seriously.
"Why do you want to join Fangcun Mountain?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Fangcun Mountain is probably the only sect in the Three Realms that can accept Demons like me," Fu Donglai said with a bitter smile.
"That's true. Patriarch Bodhi has always advocated education without discrimination. When accepting disciples, he doesn't care about their background or race. Back then, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven cultivated here, "Shen Luo said slowly.
"What about you? Where are you going next?" Fu Donglai asked.
"Fangcun Mountain," Shen Luo said, waving his hand.
Fu Donglai hesitated for a long while before saying, "Brother Shen, there's no need for you to accompany me on this trip."
"You're thinking too much … I need two important materials to repair a treasure. One is in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, and the other is in Fangcun Mountain. I originally wanted to go to the Dragon Palace first, but since you happen to be going to Fangcun Mountain, we can go together, "Shen Luo said with a smile.
There was one thing that Shen Luo did not say. He also wanted to see what an undestroyed Fangcun Mountain looked like.
… …
Several months later, in the Aparagodānīya Continent …
On the official road outside Immortal Qiao County's Songshan County, two streaks of light descended from the sky, revealing two travel-worn figures.
One of them was dressed in a white robe and had a rather delicate appearance. The other was muscular and had the head of a tiger and the body of a human. They were naturally Shen Luo and Fu Donglai.
"Brother Shen, can we really get what we want on this trip?" Fu Donglai asked worriedly.
"Although Fangcun Mountain is a human sect, it has never discriminated against other races. It also accepts disciples of the Immortal race and Demons. Thus, it shouldn't be difficult for you to join the sect —" Shen Luo stopped halfway through his sentence.
"Then, about borrowing the Mountain River Map …" Fu Donglai said hesitantly.
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult. This item is no ordinary Dharma treasure. It is an important treasure that concerns the safety of the Three Realms. Fangcun Mountain most likely will not lend it to outsiders, "Shen Luo said with a sigh.
"Previously, I heard from Master … heard him say that the Mountain River Map was originally used to suppress Chi You. In order to ensure its safety, the human and Immortal races made a choice between Zhen Yuan Daisen and Patriarch Subhuti. In the end, the item was placed in Fangcun Mountain and handed over to Patriarch Subhuti for safekeeping. After the demonic plague was resolved, many Immortals and Buddhas of the Celestial Court were tempted. They hoped that Patriarch Subhuti would hand over the item so that the Celestial Court and the Buddhists could jointly manage it. In the end, Patriarch Subhuti flatly refused, "Fu Donglai said.
