"This is the token of Xiaomao Mountain, that's right. I saw it in the Zongmen classics. Qin Guan pays respects to seniors. Please forgive me for being rude before!" Qin Ming took the token and looked at it carefully. Qi Qi handed it back respectfully, with no more doubts in his expression, and said fearfully.
There are records about Xiaomao Mountain in the classics of Spring and Autumn View, this identity token is absolutely true, and it is definitely not a forgery.
"You don't need to say polite words, take me to meet the fellow daoist at the back." Seeing Qin Guan's appearance, Chen Shiyuan nodded in satisfaction, took back the token and said.
"Yes, senior, please follow me." Qin Ming took Chen Shiyuan to the back mountain, outside the sunken cave.
The vision of blue light rising into the sky didn't last long and disappeared, but a large white mist appeared around the cave, layered upon layer, submerging the cave and the surrounding mountains in it.
Qin Ming tried to get closer, but the white mist was filled with a strong resistance, and he couldn't move forward after walking in for a foot or two.
He was anxious and opened his mouth to shout.
"The Taoist friend in front just broke through the realm, and it seems that he is consolidating his cultivation, that's why he activated the guarding restriction outside, let's wait here." Chen Shiyuan raised his hand to stop Qin Ming.
"Okay." Qin Ming naturally had no objection.
"There is nothing left and right now, Guanzhu Qin, why don't you tell me about the origin of this fellow Taoist? Could it be a senior from Chunqiu Temple?" Chen Shiyuan said with a smile.
The white mist in front of him was extremely mysterious, and he couldn't see the history at all with his eyesight. His evaluation of the person inside was a bit higher, and his tone of voice was also a bit more polite.
"Senior, please don't call me like that, just call me Qin Ming. As for the person in the cave is my junior brother, Shen Luo, who has been wandering around for many years. I don't know what kind of adventures he has had. His cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Time has just come back." Qin Ming didn't hide anything, and told what he knew.
"What! He is your junior brother? Seeing that your lifespan is not more than two hundred years old, could it be that your junior brother has cultivated to the middle stage of Mahayana in only 200 years?" Chen Shiyuan was taken aback and exclaimed.
Qin Ming's cultivation base is weak, although he also felt that Shen Luo's cultivation base was improving extremely fast, but he didn't quite understand how amazing this speed was. Seeing Chen Shiyuan like this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
What the two of them didn't know was that they had been asleep for 100 years during the sinking period. If they knew, they would be surprised to what extent.
After all, Chen Shiyuan was a monk in the Mahayana period, and his expression quickly regained his composure. Looking at the cave shrouded in white mist, he fell silent.
"Senior, I don't know why you came to the Spring and Autumn Temple this time?" Qin Ming looked at Chen Shiyuan, hesitated for a while, and finally asked.
"It's not a big deal. In the name of Xiaomao Mountain's head teacher, I'm going to check the situation of those branches living outside." Chen Shiyuan said casually without looking at Qin Ming.
"Check the branch?" Qin Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.
Spring and Autumn Temple is a branch of Xiaomao Mountain, and all the masters of the past generations have longed to return to the sect. Unfortunately, the strength of Spring and Autumn Temple is too weak, and they have no chance to meet any disciples of Xiaomao Mountain, let alone return to the sect.
But today, Chunqiu Guan finally met one.
"Senior came to the Spring and Autumn Temple, and I have no respect for you. These spiritual materials are accumulated by my Spring and Autumn Temple over the years. I will give it to the senior today. It is a gift for meeting, and please accept it with a smile." Qin Ming gritted his teeth slightly, and took out Shen Luo's gift. The most precious spiritual materials in the storage magic weapon were sent to Chen Shiyuan, and he said respectfully.
"What's Guanzhu Qin's meaning?" Chen Shiyuan glanced at the thing in Qin Ming's hand, but didn't accept it, and asked back with a twitch of his eyes.
"Senior is an emissary from Xiaomao Mountain, so I won't beat around the bush. I have always had a wish since the founding of the Spring and Autumn View School, and that is to recognize my ancestors and return to Xiaomao Mountain. Seniors have advanced cultivation bases. Maoshan must also be in a high position, so I wonder if I can help Chunqiuguan? If these gifts are not enough, seniors just ask, and we Chunqiuguan will do our best to do it." Qin Ming said respectfully.
"It's not impossible for Chunqiu Guan to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." Chen Shiyuan said slowly with his eyes moving.
"Really? What's your request, senior, but it's okay to say it!" Qin Ming was overjoyed, and knelt down on the ground.
"I don't want these spiritual materials. You can put them away first. I will discuss something with Fellow Daoist Shen Luo later. This matter will be of great benefit to both Chunqiu Temple and Xiaomao Mountain. As long as Qin Guanzhu can help me facilitate this matter." , I guarantee that the Spring and Autumn View will return to Xiaomao Mountain." Chen Shiyuan said so.
"I don't know what senior wants to discuss with Junior Brother Shen?" Qin Ming was stunned, but he didn't immediately agree, and asked cautiously.
Shen Luo is now the pillar of the Spring and Autumn View, and to some extent, it is more important than returning the Spring and Autumn View to Xiaomao Mountain, and he must not do anything to make his heart feel cold.
Chen Shiyuan glanced at Qin Guan, and his lips moved slightly to communicate with him through sound transmission.
Qin Guan's face was uncertain for a while, and he opened his mouth slowly after a long time: "For what the senior said, please forgive the junior for not being able to agree to help. After all, that matter is related to the safety of Junior Brother Shen. Whether he is willing or not depends entirely on his own wishes. I will not impose my intentions on him."
"What did you say?" Chen Shiyuan suddenly looked at Qin Guan, his eyes flashed coldly.
Qin Guan's body trembled, but he didn't speak, just stood aside with his head bowed.
"Very good." Chen Shiyuan quickly withdrew his gaze and said lightly.
The two of them didn't speak after that, and there was a stiff silence outside the cave.
Inside the cave, Shen Luo slowly restrained the surging mana in his body, opened his eyes, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.
This time, the progress was very smooth.
While absorbing the spiritual power of the water in the one-element true water, he purified the mana, and then relied on the cultivation experience in the dream to break through the middle stage of Mahayana naturally.
However, that drop of one-element real water was also consumed. He only had two cultivation spiritual objects, the Hunyin Yuanjing and the Jasper Dragon Demon Pellet, which could support him until he reached the late stage of Mahayana at most. Incoming new water spirits.
Shen Luo wasn't worried about the black bear spirit either. With his cultivation in the later stages of a true immortal, it wasn't difficult to find a few treasures that contained the spiritual power of water.
"This retreat has lasted for two months. I don't know how the Spring and Autumn Temple is going. Let's go out and have a look." He thought to himself and stood up.
"Huh!" Shen Luo's consciousness spread, and he immediately sensed Qin Guan and Chen Shiyuan outside.
"Who is this person? Such a profound cultivation, has reached the late stage of Mahayana!" His eyes narrowed slightly.
The Spring and Autumn View has already declined, how could it attract such a Mahayana master?
Chapter 1060 A Condition
outside the cave.
Just as Chen Shiyuan and Qin Guan fell silent, the white mist around the cave retreated to both sides, revealing a passage, and at the same time a man's voice sounded:
"I don't know where a fellow Taoist is coming, but Shen couldn't meet him from afar, please forgive me."
The corner of Chen Shiyuan's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't look at Qin Guan, and strode into the passageway of the cave.
And Qin Guan didn't stay outside, and stepped forward to keep up.
The two soon came to the main hall of the cave, where Shen Luo had already been waiting, and three cups of spiritual tea were placed on the table.
"I don't know You Gao's name? The cave is simple and the hospitality is not good. Please don't blame him. Please sit down." Shen Luo took a look at Chen Shiyuan and made an invitation gesture.
"Your Excellency is Fellow Daoist Shen Luo. Qin Guanzhu has introduced you to me just now. You have cultivated to the middle stage of Mahayana in less than 200 years. Fellow Daoist Shen is truly a genius." Chen Shiyuan did not answer Shen Luo's question, Hehe laughed.
"Junior Brother Shen, this is Senior Chen Shiyuan, from Xiaomao Mountain." Qin Guan beside him introduced.
"Xiaomao Mountain!" Shen Luo's eyes flickered.
For this sect, he has been admiring it for a long time.
"It turns out that Daoyou Chen is a monk from the Xiaomao Mountain of the Shangzong. I'm sorry, I don't know why Daoyou Chen came to my Spring and Autumn Temple?" Shen Luo's expression quickly recovered, and he cupped his hands and asked.
Chen Shiyuan, as a member of the upper sect of Xiaomao Mountain, has traveled around these days and met some branches. Which branch of the sect was not fearful and respectful when seeing him, and Shen Luo's attitude was so calm, as if he didn't take it to heart, he felt a little unhappy .
Of course, there is also the reason why Qin Guan rejected him, which made Chen Shiyuan feel a little disgusted with the branch of Chunqiu Temple.
"I was ordered by the sect to investigate the situation of some branches living outside. I came to Dengzhou a few days ago and heard that the Spring and Autumn Temple had killed the Xuanyin people of the Tianyin sect, so I came to take a look." Chen Shiyuan said lightly.
Shen Luo frowned when he heard this.
The fact that the ghost general killed the monks of Tianyinmen was exposed so quickly?
He looked at Qin Ming, Qin Ming nodded, his sinking face suddenly sank, and at this moment, the voice of the ghost general came from his ear:
"Master, it's my fault that caused you this trouble."
Shen Luo snorted coldly, and ignored the ghost general in the universe bag.
If he was still wandering alone now, he would kill a sect cultivator, but now that he has the Spring and Autumn View, he has to worry about many things.
"Although the strength of Tianyin Sect is strong, my branch of Xiaomao Mountain can't be easily bullied." Chen Shiyuan saw the changes in Shen Luo and Qin Guan's expressions, and said with a light smile.
"Chen Daoyou came here this time to bring the Spring and Autumn Temple back to Xiaomao Mountain?" Shen Luo asked after hearing this.
He also knew that Chunqiu Temple had always wanted to return to Xiaomao Mountain. If it could be achieved, it would not only fulfill the wish of the ancestors of Spring and Autumn Temple, but also use the power of Xiaomao Mountain to protect Qin Guan and others.
"It's not difficult to bring Chunqiu Temple back to Xiaomao Mountain, but since Tianyinmen has targeted it, it's not easy for the headmaster of Xiaomao Mountain to agree to give him special protection." Chen Shiyuan took a sip of spiritual tea from his teacup, with deep meaning said.
"Chen Daoyou has any requests, but it's okay to say." How could Shen Luo not understand what the other party meant, and cupped his hands.
"I don't dare to say anything about the request. It's just that Xiaomaoshan has something urgent to deal with recently. Unfortunately, it is not very convenient for everyone in the sect. If Fellow Daoist Shen can help, whether it is to let Xiaomaoshan seal the Spring and Autumn Temple, or shelter the threat from Tianyinmen , It's all easy." Chen Shiyuan put down his teacup and said with a smile.
Qin Guan who was on the side heard this and stopped talking.
Shen Luo saw Qin Guan's expression in his eyes, his eyes moved, and he said to Chen Shiyuan seriously:
"I don't know what it is? If Shen can help, he will definitely not refuse."
"I don't know if Fellow Daoist Shen has heard of the Three Realms Martial Arts Festival that is about to be held in Chang'an City?" Chen Shiyuan asked.
"I've heard about it, but I don't know it very well. I also ask Fellow Daoist Chen for advice." Shen Luo said with a little surprise.
"The Martial Arts of the Three Realms is a contest held jointly by several sects of the Three Realms of Humans, Demons and Immortals. Representatives from each sect and faction participated in it. With the joint support, even a small sect can become a big sect in the Three Realms." Chen Shiyuan said leisurely.
"The final reward is so rich!" Shen Luo was a little surprised.
Leaving aside the prizes for the winners, the fact that their sect is supported by the Three Realms is no small matter.
"After the catastrophe, many sects suffered serious injuries. The martial arts meeting was held to revitalize the Three Realms as soon as possible and restore the damage from the catastrophe." Chen Shiyuan explained.
"I see." Shen Luo nodded.
"Although the martial arts rewards are generous, the process of the Three Worlds martial arts is also quite tragic. Participants not only decide the outcome in the martial arts, but also life and death. It is very different from ordinary competitions." Chen Shiyuan then said.
"It's not only the outcome, but also life and death!" Shen Luo frowned.
"I and other cultivators have long put life and death aside. This is nothing. Compared with the rewards of the Martial Arts Association, the lives of one or two people are insignificant. Moreover, some sects with suspicions can take this opportunity to resolve them. It is a pioneering work to report a grievance." Chen Shiyuan said with a smile.
Shen Luo didn't speak, just stood aside silently.
"During the martial arts meeting, people from the three realms can watch the whole process through the hanging mirror made by Tianji City. It can be regarded as a lively scene." Chen Shiyuan didn't seem to see Shen Luo's expression, and continued to say with a smile.
"Chen Daoyou came to look for me. Could it be that he wants me to replace Xiao Maoshan to participate in this Three Realms martial arts meeting?" Shen Luo asked.
"That's right, would Fellow Daoist Shen be willing?" Chen Shiyuan nodded, looking at Shen Luo earnestly.
Shen Luo's face was solemn, and he was silent in his heart.
According to his original intention, he definitely didn't want to participate in such a monkey-like martial arts competition, but if he didn't participate, not only would there be no hope for Chunqiu Guanfeng Zhengzheng, but he would also be threatened by coming to Tianyinmen.
It's fine if he's been in the Spring and Autumn View all the time, but it's hard to guarantee that he won't leave Qinghua Mountain in the future, what will happen to the Spring and Autumn View then?
Thinking of this, Shen Luo couldn't help but glance at Qin Guan.
"Junior Brother Shen, the matter of the martial arts meeting is related to your personal life, so you don't need to consider your age." Qin Guan said seriously.
When Shen Luo heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, he got up and came to the entrance of the cave, and looked outside.
The building of Chunqiu Temple can be vaguely seen, and with his eyes and ears, he can also hear the bustling scene in the front mountain.
The Spring and Autumn View has been silent for a hundred years, and finally regained its prosperity. If it continues to sink, it is afraid that it will never recover.
Now that the evil troubles have been eliminated, and I was ordered in the face of danger and entrusted by my master and uncle to revive the mountain gate, naturally I have to take real actions.
Chapter 1061 was pitted
"Okay, I promise to replace Xiaomaoshan and participate in the Three Realms Martial Arts Competition." The promise to his master and uncle emerged in Shen Luo's mind, and he finally made up his mind and turned around.
"Okay! Fellow Daoist Shen is indeed a straightforward person, then Chen is here to promise that Chunqiu Guan will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, return to Xiaomao Mountain, and protect the threat from Tianyin Sect!" Chen Shiyuan was overjoyed, and he also stood up suddenly, patted his chest and said .
Qin Guan lowered his eyes, excited in his heart, secretly grateful for Shen Luo's kindness.
"How long will the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference be held?" Shen Luo asked.
"It will be held in about ten days. Fellow Daoist Shen can take this opportunity to make some preparations. If you need help from me, feel free to ask." Chen Shiyuan took out a sound transmission array and handed it over.
"Thank you." Shen Luo took it over without any courtesy.
The two talked in detail about the important matters of the Three Realms Martial Arts Association, and Chen Shiyuan blurted out that he was going to check other branches, and left.
Shen Luo didn't keep him, and sent him out personally.
"Junior Brother Shen, the martial arts of the Three Realms is quite dangerous, are you sure?" Qin Guan couldn't help asking as he watched Chen Shiyuan leave.
"Senior Brother Qin, don't worry, I have my own measure." Shen Luo said with a smile.
Seeing this, Qin Guan let go of his heart, but his brows were still full of worry.
After the two chatted for a few words, Qin Guan also took his leave and left.
Shen Luo walked back and forth in the hall for a while, then suddenly turned around and entered the secret room again.
……
The next day, Shen Luo left Chunqiu Temple and returned to Chang'an soon.
Chang'an City was still bustling as before, the city was already overcrowded, and even outside the city, all kinds of tents and simple houses were temporarily erected, stretching for hundreds of miles, it was a magnificent sight.
At the gate of the city, Zhang Bang announced the specific time and venue of the Three Realms martial arts competition, but still did not announce the schedule and rules.
After Shen Luo looked at it for a while, he stepped into the city.
The city gate was crowded with people, and the lively scene was even more lively than when he left before. After passing through the main street, he really couldn't stand the crowd of people around him, and turned into a lane with less traffic.
