Crimson Cloud Mountain was an inconspicuous mountain among the rolling mountains of Jiujiang.
Theoretically speaking, it should have been able to become a popular tourist attraction like the surrounding mountains. In fact, Crimson Cloud Mountain, with its legendary seven sceneries, had the potential to become a tourist attraction.
However, reality was completely different. It was one of the least visited places in Jiujiang National Nature Park.
The reason was simple. On Crimson Cloud Mountain, there existed a hidden Taoist sect that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years — the Bailu Temple.
After hearing that the only source of rent for his family was under house arrest, Xu Shenxing went home to pack his luggage and brought Mo Li to Jiujiang, which was not far from Jiang Jin.
Thankfully, it was summer vacation. Otherwise, his grades would have dropped to zero due to long periods of absenteeism.
However, in an unexpected place, Xu Shenxing encountered his first tricky problem.
"I say, you should be appeased by now, right?"
"Hmph." Faced with Xu Shenxing's consolation, Mo Li still crossed his arms and didn't even look at him. "I don't know such a selfish landlord."
"I just didn't invite you to the milk tea shop. Do you have to be angry for so long?"
The reason was that Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi were talking at the milk tea shop, but they didn't invite Mo Li.
"I also want to drink Bing Bing's milk tea!"
Molly continued to pout and throw a tantrum.
"Stop it. Weren't you doing your summer homework at your friend's house yesterday?"
"Hmm … hmm …" Mo Li was like a puppy. He puffed up his cheeks and made an ambiguous sound. He rolled on the ground covered with fallen leaves.
"Okay, okay. When we bring Qin Xingyan back, I'll take you to the milk tea shop …"
In the end, Xu Shenxing compromised.
Anyway, if Qin Xingyan was there, she would probably pay.
Xu Shenxing made a small calculation in his heart.
Hearing him say that, Mo Li reluctantly accepted and stood up from the ground.
"But then again, there really aren't many people here …"
Although there were paths in the forest, there was hardly anyone on Red Clouds Mountain. This was a great contrast to the other peaks, which were packed with people.
In addition, Xu Shenxing was more concerned about another matter.
According to the information provided by that guy named Xu Feng, the great secluded sects would definitely set up something like a Mountain Protecting Formation outside their own sect to protect their thousand-year-old foundation.
The White Deer Monastery was naturally no exception. It was said that while the mountain-protecting formation outside the monastery did not possess outstanding offensive capabilities, it possessed the ability to interfere with one's perception. If an ordinary person were to walk along the forest path, they would very quickly be led to another mountain peak and would not be able to find the true path of the forest path.
This was not a problem. In fact, it was a normal protective measure. For Xu Shenxing, there was only one problem.
He was actually unable to detect the so-called Great Protective Mountain Array at all.
He was actually quite confident in his attainments in the field of illusion. Even in the huge underground maze created by the demon king of another world, he managed to escape after turning the Minotaunos inside into sauced beef.
But this time, he had no clue at all …
Not only Xu Shenxing, but even Mo Li could only shake his head at Xu Shenxing after carefully sizing it up for a long time, indicating that even he could not find any flaws.
In the end, Xu Shenxing, who was at his wit's end, could only call Xu Feng, hoping to get some hints from him.
Xu Feng, who had originally intended to find an opportunity to build a good relationship with Xu Shenxing, naturally agreed. He asked Xu Shenxing to wait for a moment, and he would ask his colleagues in the department who knew about this matter.
"I didn't expect there to be such a technique on Earth that even we are helpless against …" Xu Shenxing looked at Red Clouds Mountain, which looked normal in front of him. There was not the slightest bit of fear in his eyes. Instead, there was a feeling of eagerness to give it a try. "It's really exciting!"
Since there was such a powerful formation, the person who set it up naturally couldn't be weak. This time, he might really be able to meet a tough opponent.
Ever since he defeated the Demon King, Xu Shenxing still hadn't felt this excited for a long time.
Not long after, Xu Feng contacted him.
"I asked around and found out that there's a problem …" He said abruptly on the phone as soon as he got on the phone.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Shenxing was somewhat baffled.
"Well, about three days ago, a developer was planning to build a tourist villa at the foot of Red Clouds Mountain. When he was building on a large scale, he accidentally dug out the eye of the Bailu Temple's mountain-protecting formation. "
"In other words …"
"Right now, the Bailu Temple doesn't have a mountain-protecting formation, so it's as it should be … By the way, the lay disciples of the Bailu Temple are currently suing the developer for compensation …"
"…"
Xu Shenxing's mood was currently crumbling.
In more popular terms, it was' really f * cked up '.
No wonder he couldn't detect the mountain-protecting formation, it turned out that it didn't exist at all!
Why was he being so careful!
He silently led Mo Li up the mountain on the winding path. Mo Li seemed to understand that Xu Shenxing was in a bad mood, and obediently followed behind him.
"Up ahead is private property, tourists are not allowed to enter."
A wild Bailu Temple disciple jumped out of the bushes.
"Do you know Qin Xingyan?" Xu Shenxing looked at the other party and asked coldly.
"Senior Qin? Why are you looking for her? "
The other party had originally seen that Xu Shenxing and Mo Li didn't have any spiritual aura on them and were just two mortals, so he didn't want to bother them. Now that he heard Qin Xingyan's name, he obviously became much more serious.
After all, Qin Xingyan was the leader of this generation of cultivators (especially those of the Orthodox Path). His cultivation was profound, and his attainments in Taoist magic were so high that he could even be compared with the cultivators of the previous generation.
Moreover, as the eldest disciple of the Bailu Temple, she could be said to be the pride of the entire Bailu Temple, and the idol of the other disciples.
Xu Shenxing, who was completely unaware of this, only thought that the name 'Xingyan A Dream' was quite useful.
"I just want to ask, where is she now?"
"Senior Qin is currently in the confinement room …" The disciple didn't intend to tell the other party the secrets of the sect, but for some reason, he couldn't help but answer when he saw Mo Li's eyes.
"How long has she been there?"
"About one or two months ago, I guess."
"Where is the confinement room?"
"Behind the mountain." At this point, the disciple suddenly woke up, and only then did he realize that his Taoist heart had been broken: "You two evil people!"
But before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Shenxing casually break off a tree branch by the roadside and wave it lightly at him …
