"I won't lie to you. Today, I came to find you because of my training." Zhao Rimian looked at Han Mei and said, "But this is not just for me. Even without the training arranged by the senior, I still hope to get your help. This is beneficial to our temple."
Han Mei looked at Zhao Rimian and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhao Rimian said, "I want to invite you to join our Taoist sect."
Han Mei couldn't help but laugh. "I don't want to be a Taoist nun."
"I don't have such an extravagant hope. You just want to be a guest," Zhao Rimian said.
Han Mei understood. "You want to take the credit of receiving me?"
Zhao Rimian said, "I want a part of it."
Han Mei looked at Zhao Rimian with doubt in her eyes, slightly puzzled.
"Naturally, our temple will not treat a talented genius like you lightly, Layman Han." Zhao Rimian said, "With our help, whether it's walking in the mortal world by yourself or passing the test of the senior in the Star Palace, I believe you'll be more confident."
It wasn't appropriate for them to help each other directly.
But if Han Mei could borrow the strength of the Green Ox Temple, she would have an extra hand.
However, Han Mei shook her head. "Everyone has to admit that the Green Bull Temple is the leader of the Taoist sects. Naturally, there will be many benefits for those who join the sect, and I am no exception. However, I still like one person, so I have no choice but to reject your good intentions."
Zhao Rimian was silent for a while and then said, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. If you change your mind in the future, please contact me. Our temple will always welcome capable people like you."
"Thank you." Han Mei looked at Zhao Rimian and thought for a while before saying, "Since you've come to find me today, I can't let you return empty-handed. There's one person you can look for and see if you can persuade him to join your Green Ox Temple. He's a Taoist sect member like you."
Zhao Rimian was pondering. It seemed that the rumors were true. Han Mei had a close relationship with Azure Dragon Island. That was why she rejected the recruitment of other holy lands.
When he heard Han Mei's words, he was slightly surprised. "A Taoist sect member?"
Han Mei nodded. "Yes, his Taoist name is Banhai."
"… Banhai?" Zhao Rimian thought for a while and shook his head. "Forgive me for my ignorance, but I've never heard of such a person."
Han Mei said, "He is a sixteenth stage Martial Sage at the very least. If you can persuade him to join your Green Bull Temple, it will be much more meritorious than me returning with you."
Zhao Rimian's eyes turned serious, "Martial Saint Realm? He shouldn't be a nobody. "
"To be honest, I'm also very curious about this Daoist Priest Banhai's background." Han Mei said mysteriously, "However, I've heard that he's not like us."
Hearing this, Zhao Rimian didn't say anything, he just looked at Han Mei calmly.
Han Mei continued, "It's very likely that he's a demonic dragon in human form."
Zhao Rimian raised his eyebrows.
In the history of the Dao Sect, there had been great demons who had taken on human form.
However, it had been many years since something like this had happened in the Red Dust World, so Zhao Rimian couldn't make up his mind.
He pondered and asked, "Layman Han, this Daoist Priest Banhai you know, did he only dress up as a Daoist, or did he become a Martial Saint because of our Daoism?"
In other words, was this a Demon Saint dressed up as a Daoist priest, or a Daoist Martial Saint in human form?
Han Mei said, "Based on what I saw that day, he should be a Martial Saint, not a Demon Saint. However, I'm not sure about his origin, whether it's the Qingwei Realm or the Mountain and Sea Realm. His cultivation should be a supreme art of the Daoist Sect, similar to your sect, but slightly different."
The Qingwei Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm were vast worlds beyond the Red Dust World.
The former was the wonderful realm of Daoism, while the latter was the paradise of the great demons.
"So don't blame me for not reminding you. You should discuss among yourselves whether or not to lure him into the Green Bull Temple," Han Mei said.
Zhao Rimian pondered for a while.
A Daoist Martial Saint of unknown origin, whether he was a human or a demon, the Green Bull Temple, as the leader of the Daoist Sects in the Red Dust World, had to find out his identity as soon as possible.
As for how to deal with him later, it would depend on the result of the contact between the two sides.
To him, it was also a great achievement to be able to figure out the background of such a mysterious person.
Zhao Rimian asked, "Layman Han, do you have any way to contact this Daoist Banhai?"
"I can't contact him." Han Mei shook her head. "But you can go to the Western Qin Dynasty to try your luck. I heard that he had conflicts with the people of the Western Qin and tried to assassinate a prince of the Western Qin several times."
Daoist Banhai inexplicably appeared in the Yongyue Mountain Range. Han Mei and Han Zheng later analyzed that he should not show up for no reason. It was likely to have something to do with the hubbub of Leng Ji in the mountain range at that time.
However, Leng Ji was hard to find, but Li Gucheng, the young prince of the Western Qin, was much easier to find.
After thinking for a while, she said, "The one who was assassinated should be Li Gucheng, the young prince of the Western Qin, right? I remember that's his name. "
Slowly, Zhao Rimian nodded and said, "Li Gucheng …"
Han Mei said, "Yes, it should be him. The Western Qin is in a mess now. There are rumors that this Daoist Banhai has something to do with the successor of the Devil Buddha of the Bitter Sea. But according to what I saw in the Yongyue Mountain Range, he doesn't look like the successor of the Bitter Sea. But who knows?"
While thinking, Zhao Rimian bowed to Han Mei and said, "Layman Han, thank you for your advice. I'll go to the Western Qin right now and try my luck as you said."
Han Mei waved her hand and said, "I wish you success."
Zhao Rimian did not stay any longer and left.
The red-clothed woman watched as his silhouette disappeared. Suddenly, she became happy and beamed with joy. "If I'm really a jinx, he shouldn't be able to find me no matter how hard he tries. Like I said, I'm loved by everyone. How can I be a jinx?"
Han Mei immediately hummed a tune and left happily.
After she left, Chen Luoyang's incarnation, Daoist Banhai, showed up with a sulky face.
The girl's "disaster" seemed to be random at present. It could not sweep all the targets in the coverage at the same time.
Young Taoist Zhao was spared, but Daoist Banhai, whom he was looking for, suffered.
Daoist Banhai, who was secretly observing Han Mei and Zhao Rimian, suddenly lost his internal breath when he was suppressing and refining the three streams of black dragon qi in his body. He almost suffered Qi Deviation on the spot.
Fortunately, he did not have to face strong attacks like Unnerving Demon Monk. Thus, Daoist Banhai could quickly adjust his internal breath.
He was now sure that Unnerving Demon Monk's sudden abnormality was caused by Han Mei.
This "disaster" was also overbearing. It came out of nowhere and completely caught him off guard.
Daoist Banhai shook his head with a sulky face.
Chen Luoyang snapped out of his daze and began to think seriously.
Han Mei suddenly pointed out a path for Zhao Rimian and pushed Daoist Banhai out.
How would the Green Ox Temple react?
Daoist Banhai was a Martial Saint, so he was naturally more valued than Han Mei and Emperor Wu.
The problem was that he was even more mysterious than Han Mei, who had been traveling alone for many years. The Green Ox Temple would have doubts about trusting Daoist Banhai so easily.
As for Chen Luoyang, he was also thinking about whether it was good or bad to let Daoist Banhai's incarnation enter the Green Ox Temple.
One of the secrets of Daoist Banhai was that he had obtained the Tusita Net from the Green Ox Temple. That was why he had such a pure Daoist cultivation.
There should not be many people in the Green Ox Temple who had come into contact with the Tusita Net, but Ye Canmian should have.
Azure Dragon Island's Xu Peng could not see the mysteries of the White Jade Dragon Bone in Daoist Banhai's body in a short period of time. That might not be the case if they spent more time together.
The Green Ox Temple was in the same situation. The top experts in the temple might see something.
Fortunately, the Green Ox Temple Master was not here.
As Chen Luoyang thought, he let Daoist Banhai follow Zhao Rimian to the West Qin Dynasty's Zhengyang City.
Young Taoist Zhao went to the West Qin Dynasty in a low-key manner.
Although he was not as famous as Ye Canmian and Zhang Chunmian, he was also a rising young talent in the Green Ox Temple.
The appearance of the future leader of the Green Ox Temple in the territory of the West Qin was a very sensitive matter for the West Qin Dynasty, the Buddhist Holy Land, and the Bitter Sea branch that was planning to expand in the West Qin.
Zhao Rimian had to be careful.
And the person he was looking for, Li Gucheng, the young lord of the West Qin, was under strict protection because he had been repeatedly assassinated in the Yongyue Mountain Range.
Zhao Rimian went through a lot of trouble to meet Young Lord Li.
At the moment, Young Lord Li looked pale and weak. Although he tried to cheer himself up, anyone could see that he had not recovered from his serious injuries.
"Taoist Zhao, why are you here?" Li Gucheng asked Slowly.
"I'm sorry to disturb Your Highness's rest." Zhao Rimian said, "In order not to disturb Your Highness's rest, I'll make it short. I'm here for the assassin that day."
Li Gucheng looked at him and said, "Oh, do you know who the assassin is?"
Zhao Rimian shook his head gently and said, "I don't. But I heard that he is a senior of Taoism named Banhai. So I'm here to investigate. Your Highness has contacted him. Do you have any clues?"
Young Lord Li looked at him for a while and said Slowly, "The Green Ox Temple doesn't know anything about it?"
Zhao Rimian said, "I'm here on the order of my master. My knowledge is limited. I've never even heard of the name Banhai before. I hope Your Highness can give me some advice."
"The experts of our Qin Dynasty have been searching for this person these days. Maybe we'll get some results later. Taoist Zhao, please take a look at it together." Li Gucheng said slowly, "Your sect is the leader of all Taoism in the world. I hope your sect can give me an explanation about this."
"I'll definitely report it to the temple." Zhao Rimian bowed to Li Gucheng and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"No problem." Li Gucheng waved his hand, and a servant saw him off.
After Young Taoist Zhao left, Young Lord Li's sickly face suddenly disappeared and he became lively again. His power was hidden and was far better than before.
Trying to figure out Zhao Rimian's purpose, Li Gucheng was silent.
