'T-this …
'Is this really the Xiao Qiong Mount that I'm familiar with, Lao Dao?'
In a trapping array formation outside the Pill Chamber, Daoist Priest Qi Yuan, the newly ascended immortal of the Duxian Gate, looked at the three paths in front of him in a daze.
It had been a few days, but he could not get out …
He had spent a lot of time studying array formations, but his level was very limited.
After all, in the past few hundred years, Qi Yuan had spent most of his time repairing his Dao foundation. Moreover, when he studied array formations, he had only held the array diagram and set it up a few times. Once he remembered how to set it up, he could be considered to have gained some understanding of it.
Therefore, when faced with the Trap Chain Array …
"Which expert set this up on my Xiao Qiong Mount? Is there a scheme? "
Qiyuan Laodao muttered softly and forced himself to recall the route that he had taken to go around in circles.
In a daze and in a daze, Qi Yuan found a new path in his confusion.
The forest in front of him was lush. There was no fog or white fog, and the scenery was very ordinary.
Qi Yuan walked forward carefully. This time, he made a new discovery.
A wooden sign was hung on the treetop in front of him. There were three words written on it.
"Are you lost?"
Qi Yuan nodded subconsciously. Then, he shivered, and his eyes were filled with wariness.
'Why does this handwriting look so familiar?'
Qiyuan Laodao stared at the wooden sign for a while and saw another wooden sign hanging on the tree behind him. He took two steps forward, and the scenery around him changed slightly. However, the wooden sign behind him was still there.
There was another sentence written on the wooden sign …
"What brings you to Xiao Qiong Mount?"
"I live here!"
Qi Yuan scolded angrily, but his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.
'Could it be …
'Could this be the legendary passage of time?'
In ancient times, there were Connate lifeforms who entered a canyon and walked out from the other end of the canyon tens of thousands of years later. They did not feel the passage of time.
Could it be that such a ridiculous thing also happened to I?
The current Xiao Qiong Mount was no longer the Xiao Qiong Mount when he was still here. The Xiao Qiong Mount that had been around for thousands of years?
Seeing that there were more wooden signs behind him, Qi Yuan once again followed the wooden signs and moved forward. When he stood in front of the next wooden sign, the scenery around him would change slightly, as if he was teleporting. It was the transformation of the formation.
After the wooden tablet, there was another wooden tablet.
The more Qiyuan Laodao looked at the handwriting on the wooden tablets, the more familiar it became …
It was as if there was a black shadow following behind him, constantly asking questions in his ears, driving him towards a certain trap, but he did not dare to retreat.
[Are you a member of the Duxian Gate?]
"This array formation is only used to protect the Pill Chamber, and it is in line with the sect rules and regulations."
Alchemy room? He seemed to have vaguely heard his disciple mention it before.
[Did you trespass into Xiao Qiong Mount without permission?]
Did I still need to trespass? I was the Peak Master of Xiao Qiong Mount!
[Please do not destroy anything here. This road leads to an open space without a soundproof array.]
Eh? Was this the exit left by the person who set up the array?
[This is a guide sign to make up the number.]
[The open space is in front.]
[Here, please take three steps forward.]
Qi Yuan stopped and subconsciously held his breath. Looking at a big tree in front of him, he suspiciously took three more steps forward.
The scenery in front of him changed again. An open space surrounded by trees appeared in front of Qi Yuan. The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and there was a short table with a bucket of spiritual spring water beside it.
"What … what is this place?"
Seeing that there was another wooden sign in front of him, Qi Yuan walked over and looked at the handwriting on the wooden sign. It was very familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before …
[Please wait here for a while. If I can't come in time, it should be a critical moment of seclusion or alchemy.
If you can't wait any longer, you can use your immortal power to call for help from the outside.
Xiao Qiong Mount sincerely welcomes your visit, but please come directly next time. Don't mistakenly enter the vicinity of the Pill Chamber.
I, Qi Yuan, the Peak Master of Xiao Qiong Mount, pay my respects.]
Qi Yuan's hands trembled, and he took two steps back, but his back hit a tree trunk.
His escape route had been blocked unknowingly.
'This, this was set up by I myself?'
Qiyuan Laodao's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. The drunkenness that he had originally felt disappeared instantly. He looked around and felt a little dizzy.
'Could it be that I was possessed?
No, that's not right. Could it be that this is because Turbid Immortals are not pure? '
When he was drinking just now, a senior in the sect had reminded him that Turbid Immortals were easily infected by Earth Qi, and their Dao Hearts were easily affected by it.
'Could it be that I was just the real Daoist Priest Qi Yuan's mental demon?'
Qi Yuan's hands could not help but tremble. He rushed to the wooden sign and looked at the words written on it. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
The words on the wooden sign …
Wasn't it … wasn't it his own handwriting?
Qiyuan Laodao slipped and sat on the ground full of fallen leaves. His eyes were dull and unfocused, and his messy grayish-white hair was even more messy.
The passage of time, Turbid Immortal, mental demon …
The passage of time, Turbid Immortal, mental demon …
"Who am I? Could it be that I'm really just a mental demon?
No, that's impossible. I am definitely not a mental demon. I am Qi Yuan.
I am Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan is me. I have stepped into the passage of time. I can't be a mental demon!
No, no!
No, no …
No … "
Qiyuan Laodao hugged his head with both hands and suddenly raised his head to shout, startling the birds near and far on Xiao Qiong Mount. A few figures passing by in the distance also looked at the forest on Xiao Qiong Mount curiously.
Suddenly, a slightly surprised and doubtful female voice came from the side.
"Master?"
Qi Yuan stopped shouting and asked with a trembling voice, "Ling'e?
"Master, are you trapped in the array formation?
"Are you really Ling'e?
"That's right, Master. How could I be wrong?
"No, no, you might be my mental demon … my mental demon …"
Outside the array formation, Ling'e, who had just rushed over, could not help but hold her forehead with one hand.
'It's over. Master has been ruined by Senior Brother.'
She groaned and immediately had an idea. She hurriedly said, "Don't move. There are many array formations inside!
"Don't walk in the direction of Ling'e's voice. If you leave that small area, you won't be able to hear the sound outside!
"I will go in and find you now!
"However, I have to spend time to find the array formation path to your location. Only Senior Brother can undo the array formation here. This is all set up by Senior Brother. Master, wait for a while."
Qiyuan Laodao was slightly stunned. Soon, he heard the sound of 'Aiya' coming from outside.
'What did my little disciple say just now?
'Senior Brother?
'Was this set up by Changshou?'
Qiyuan Laodao's eyes were filled with doubts. He gradually calmed down because he was deep in thought.
An hour later, Lan Ling'e, who was covered in grass and leaves, appeared in front of her master with a bitter smile and a swollen face. She bowed to her master.
"Master, I'm here to look for you."
Qi Yuan could not help but stare at Lan Ling'e. Lan Ling'e calmly cast a few small Dharma spells. They were all taught by Qiyuan Laodao previously.
"Master, it's really Ling'e …"
Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. "What's going on?"
"Yes." Ling'e bit her lip and pondered for a while. She thought about how she could help her senior brother.
She quickly took out another treasure pouch and quickly walked to the side of the short table. She took out two cushions, a teapot, and a porcelain cup, and said with a smile, "Master, come and rest first. Allow disciple to slowly report."
Qi Yuan's eyes were still filled with suspicion. However, when he sat on the cushion and looked at Lan Ling'e's familiar method of brewing tea, the doubts in his heart dissipated.
The forest was quiet, and there was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Looking up from there, due to the surrounding trees, it seemed like there was only a small piece of the blue sky left …
Suddenly, the old Taoist seemed to have understood something.
Lao Dao looked around and asked in a low voice, "This place was set up by your senior brother?"
Ling'e said, "It should be said that it was designed by Senior Brother. It was set up by Aunt-Master Jiujiu of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, a Perfected Immortal."
"Oh, no wonder." Qi Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that Junior Sister Jiujiu helped to set it up."
"Actually, Aunt-Master Jiujiu doesn't know anything about array formations. It was Senior Brother who told Aunt-Master to put this here and that there."
Ling'e paused and lowered her head. "Master, did you really not notice?"
Qi Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was indeed his favorite chrysanthemum lotus seed tea.
"What did you notice? Do you like your senior brother? "
"Ah!" Ling'e's face instantly turned red.
Qiyuan Laodao frowned and stared at her. "Don't you like Changshou?"
"This … I can't say it out loud. I'll be embarrassed …"
Ling'e quickly calmed down and said softly, "Senior Brother is actually very extraordinary."
"Oh?"
Qiyuan Laodao's gaze was doting. He smiled and said, "In your eyes, your senior brother is naturally extraordinary."
"No, Master." Ling'e raised her hand and tidied a strand of hair beside her ear. "Senior Brother is actually much more promising than you think, Master.
For example, the array formations here. Senior Brother used basic array formations to set up chain array formations.
Although Senior Brother asked Aunt-Master Jiujiu to help, it would not be bad for Senior Brother to set up this place alone. "
Qiyuan Laodao was stunned again.
Ling'e continued.
"Disciple has been in the sect for more than ten years. Senior Brother has taught me a lot.
Many times, after Master's lecture, disciple was confused and did not understand the truth. Senior Brother would come over and explain the essence to disciple.
Often, Senior Brother would be able to point out the true meaning in one or two sentences. That's why disciple can improve so much. "
Qi Yuan frowned and looked at Ling'e. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Ling'e said softly, "Also, Master, what level is disciple's cultivation now?"
Qi Yuan stroked his beard and pondered for a while. "Ninth level of Qi Refinement?"
Ling'e put her hands together and made a complicated seal. The aura around her suddenly surged. "Then, what about now?"
Qi Yuan's eyes widened. "Fifth level of Soul Formation! Ling'e, when did you! "
Ling'e made a silent gesture and made another seal with her hands. The aura around her quickly converged.
She said in a low voice, "This is the 'Qi-Calming Tortoise Breathing Formula' that Senior Brother taught me. It can hide my cultivation. As long as I don't let a True Immortal touch my body, I can hide it and simulate the realm I want to show."
There was only shock on Qiyuan Laodao's face.
"Master, Senior Brother has been in the sect for a hundred years. Most of the time, you have been cultivating in seclusion to break through to the Immortal Realm. You know too little about Senior Brother."
Ling'e picked up the teacup, held the bottom of the cup with two slender fingers of her left hand, and held the teacup with her right hand. She took a sip, and there was no hesitation in her eyes.
"While Senior Brother was tricked by Jiu Wu to go to the East Sea, I want to tell you these things clearly.
I have been watching Senior Brother do a lot of things for you, but you don't know anything. Every time you see Senior Brother, you either scold him or talk about how unbearable he is.
Master, I'm afraid Senior Brother is not far from Immortal Ascension.
"If I'm not wrong, the Immortal-Melting Pill that you used was refined from the Immortal-Emancipating Herb that Senior Brother went to the Priming Meet a few years ago and personally dug out from the depths of the North Continent.
"Master, you were worried about your Immortal Ascension Tribulation, and Senior Brother was most concerned about your Heavenly Tribulation. He put in a lot of effort for it.
"Master, you only saw the Faraday Cage … Actually, Senior Brother made more than ten treasures that could resist the Heavenly Tribulation in the past two years. However, they were all ineffective in the subsequent experiments.
"I only saw Senior Brother getting upset a few times, and that was when he squatted in front of the treasures that were destroyed by the Lightning Tribulation.
The only time I saw Senior Brother nervous was when you were going through the Tribulation Transcendence. "
Ling'e looked at Qiyuan Laodao, but the latter's eyes were already blank. He sat there as if he had turned into a statue.
"Master, Senior Brother is really extraordinary. I'm not just talking nonsense …"
Slowly, Ling'e told him everything she knew about Senior Brother.
Although she hid a lot of things because of Senior Brother's instructions, she did not exaggerate at all.
Qi Yuan gradually came back to his senses. He asked Ling'e to use the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra again. Then, he looked at the many immortal pills and poisonous pills that Ling'e had on her. Once again, Lao Dao sat there and fell into deep thought.
A moment later …
Qi Yuan asked uneasily, "Ling'e, what do you think I … should do? When your Senior Brother comes back, should I reward him? "
"Master, you'd better pretend that I didn't say anything to you today. Pretend that this never happened. Do what you usually do," Ling'e said with a smile. "When Senior Brother comes to fetch us later, you can use your horsetail whisk to smack his butt …
"But don't use too much force.
Every time you want to hit Senior Brother, Senior Brother purposely reveals an opening for you to catch. "
A few black lines appeared on Qi Yuan's forehead. He smiled bitterly and said, "Am I really that bad?"
"Uh." Ling'e hurriedly shouted, "Master, you're wise and mighty! Your immortal arts are boundless! "
Qi Yuan hesitated and said, "Then, I'll pretend that I didn't hear you say that?"
"What Senior Brother wants the most is for others to not pay attention to him so that he can make a fortune in silence." Ling'e pursed her lips. "I have to deliberately act silly in front of Senior Brother now. I have to pretend to be confused. Otherwise, I will definitely be gradually alienated by him …"
Ling'e changed the topic and began to scold Li Changshou for bullying her, his junior sister, in an attempt to ease the depression in his master's heart.
Soon, Qi Yuan was amused by her and laughed. He was full of energy again.
"You! Hahaha! "
Qi Yuan got up and walked to the side. He looked at the various arrangements of the formation that he could not understand. He did not want his little disciple to see that the corners of his eyes were a little moist at this time.
"As a master, I'm too selfish. I only want to go through the tribulation and go into seclusion.
Sigh, after I brought your Senior Brother into the sect and passed him the cultivation method, I have been in seclusion. I have been in seclusion.
After going through the tribulation this time, I wanted to guide your Senior Brother and Junior Sister's cultivation, but I found that I am the one who has been taken care of.
Forget it, forget it. I don't care anymore. I won't care anymore.
With such a disciple, I can also comfort the ancestors of Xiao Qiong Mount! "
After saying that, Qi Yuan turned to look at Ling'e and said with a smile, "Moreover, my little disciple is so sensible now."
Ling'e smiled a little embarrassedly and whispered, "In order to be worthy of Senior Brother, I have been working very hard."
"Oh?"
"Uh, Master, drink tea. The tea is cold!
Master, please don't expose what I said today! "
"Okay, okay. Let's pretend to be stupid and act in front of your Senior Brother." Qi Yuan sat back at the short table and took out his horsetail whisk. "Later, when I teach your Senior Brother a lesson, you can also help me and try it."
Ling'e's eyes lit up. "Can I, Master?"
"Of course. He has played me like a monkey for so many years. Of course, I have to teach him a good lesson!"
Lan Ling 'e cheered excitedly and was eager to give it a try.
Qi Yuan said again, "Don't worry. I will go into seclusion to comprehend the Turbid Immortal cultivation method later. From now on, you two can do whatever you want with this Xiao Qiong Mount."
After saying that, Qi Yuan looked at the tea in front of him and looked at the old face reflected in it. He could not help but shake his head and chuckle.
Really …
Wonderful, indescribable.
