Luling Mountain, Yilian Temple.
Located on the outskirts of Jiuyao Peak in the southeast of Chu, it is quiet and secluded with few people.
On this day, Lin Shan brought someone to visit him.
The disciples outside the mountain gate had received the message from Luan Chun and greeted them at the door in advance and invited them into the temple.
After walking through the duplex corridor, they finally stopped at the entrance of the arch. The disciple did not dare to go in any further and just made a gesture of extending his hand.
Lin Shan walked in with Lin Fan and Brother Ji sitting on his shoulders.
The bamboo forest in the courtyard is deep and the leaves are dancing.
Master Huang Xian and Yan Yuanchun were making tea around the stove and chatting about some interesting things. There were some insects chirping around them, giving them a sense of leisure and elegance.
"You came."
After so many years, my voice has obviously aged even more.
Lin Shan hurriedly came forward to pay homage. He first paid homage to Master Huang Xian and then to Protector Yan.
The former nodded calmly, and the latter smiled and pointed to the futon next to him, indicating that he should sit down.
Lin Fan stood aside in embarrassment because there was no place prepared for him.
Lin Shan quickly introduced:
"Two seniors, this is my brother Lin Fan, come with me this time..."
"You know, that boy from Zixiao Sect, right?"
Master Huang Xian took a sip of tea and sneered. When Yan Yuanchun led the team to break out from Donghai in the Song Dynasty, they encountered the Zixiao Sect's encirclement and murder. Lin Fan was also in the team at that time, and he remembered it clearly.
Later, if Master Huang Xian, who was pretending to be Old Man Zhong, had not stepped forward, I am afraid that this team would have been completely wiped out by the Zixiao Sect!
Lin Fan dug his toes into the ground and almost couldn't find a crack in the ground to get in.
He originally thought that Lin Shan came to visit some Nascent Soul True Monarch, and he came over to take a look, but who knew it was this old man?
At that time, I was just a little shrimp in the Foundation Establishment stage. After messing around with the Peak Master brothers, I was able to hold it in my mind until now. As a Nascent Soul Stage, Isn't it stingy?
Yan Yuanchun couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Master Huang Xian.
"Old Huang, how long did it take? Forget it!"
"Why don't you forget it? You forgot that you were almost killed by people from Zixiao Sect..."
"Hey, the past is the past, he was just a child at the time."
"snort!"
Master Huang Xian didn't give Lin Fan a good look. He even gave Lin Shan an unhappy look and scolded him for coming just by himself. Why did he bring someone else with him?
Yan Yuanchun pointed to a place nearby and motioned for Lin Fan to sit over.
Chicken Brother shrank his head, hiding under his wings and not daring to show his head. He lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and pretended to be asleep. At first glance, this old man was not easy to get along with.
When Lin Shan saw the four people sitting down, he expressed his gratitude to Yan Yuanchun.
Last time the Wild Bear Gang killed Jin Yao Peak, Protector Yan stepped forward to help the Kun Cult overcome the difficulties. After his spiritual opening ceremony was completed, he had gone back long ago, so he couldn't thank him in person, so this time he just made up for it.
"It's okay. If you have this intention, you should treat Luan Chun well. When that girl works for you, you can't make her suffer! If you let me know that she has been wronged by you, don't blame me for not telling her in advance!"
Yan Yuanchun said this with a stern look on his face, warning Lin Shan.
"No matter what, Luan Chun is basically one person under my leadership and above ten thousand people. I give her all the power in the church. She is also the person I trust the most!"
Lin Shan quickly explained, fearing that Protector Yan would not know the importance of Luan Chun being there to him.
"That's not what I'm referring to. Are you pretending to understand or do you really not understand?"
When Yan Yuanchun heard this, he became even more angry when he became a hands-off shopkeeper and left all the dirty work to his beloved disciple!
Master Huang Xian next to him coughed and actually came to the rescue.
"Hey, forget it, let them resolve matters between young people themselves, and we, the older generation, should not get involved."
Lin Shan looked at him with gratitude, Lao Huang was still reliable!
Master Huang Xian gave him a look that meant he would be blessed in the future. He did not dwell too much on this matter, but immediately changed the subject.
"I heard that you seemed to have returned to Song Dynasty later?"
Lin Shan quickly said yes.
"Tell me about the current situation in the Song Dynasty."
Master Huang Xian also has certain feelings for his hometown and wants to get some information from him.
Lin Shan briefly talked about what he had seen and heard in Yichuan before, as well as the battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty, and the destruction of the Black Lotus Sect in southern Xinjiang.
Master Huang Xian just listened quietly. Protector Yan could not help but feel sad. Her feelings for the Black Lotus Sect were still very deep, otherwise she would not have chosen the name Yi Lian Temple in the new sect.
"The Yanchun House in Yichuan was later taken over by a new bustard. The operation was pretty good. Although the business was tepid, it was still the largest one in the city..."
Lin Shan knew that Protector Yan was a very emotional person, so he told her the story of Yi Chuan again.
Lin Fan also cautiously intervened at this time to convey the situation of the Song Dynasty in recent years.
The two elders listened quite seriously and sighed constantly, lamenting the impermanence of the world.
But now that we have left, there is no point in going back. People in the devil's path will be far less comfortable in the world of devil's cultivation when they return to the kingdom of the righteous path.
"Senior, what have you experienced over the years... can you tell me something to open your eyes to this junior?"
Lin Shan was also curious about Master Huang Xian's experience over the years and asked cautiously.
Master Huang Xian did not shy away and told him frankly.
"I actually started looking for life-extending spiritual objects, because although I am now over 500 years old, my lifespan was severely depleted due to improper breakthroughs back then, and I am now approaching the end of my life."
"Later, I encountered Nascent Soul monks from both the good and the evil parties chasing and killing the layman Jinglian. This incident made a big fuss in the surrounding areas. I investigated and visited for so long but still had no clue, so I simply participated in the pursuit."
"Because I had a confrontation with him when we were in the East China Sea. I know that his dharma appearance is a three-foot green lotus. He is good at wood-based health care. He may have a life-extending elixir."
"It's a pity that this old guy kept a low profile during the Song Dynasty in Donghai, but he didn't expect that he would become so public when he came here!"
"Of course, it seems that there is a pair of invisible hands in the secret, constantly tracking his position and inducing many Nascent Soul Stage monks to come. Even if everyone notices it, they will take advantage of it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The old guy became more and more courageous as he fought alone. He had already killed seven Nascent Souls on the road. However, in comparison, many people dropped out in the middle, and the people who were chasing him were getting more and more courageous.
More and more..."
...
It was the first time that Lin Shan heard the inside story about Jinglian, and he knew clearly in his heart that he was indeed the reincarnation of the Immortal Inspector of the Upper Realm!
Being hunted by so many people of the same level in the lower world, and being targeted by secret enemies, it is only normal that he can survive for so many years and still fight back from time to time.
It is also understandable that Master Huang Xian suspects that Jinglian Jinglian possesses a life-extending spiritual substance.
Because when he was in the Song Dynasty, he once attended the birthday banquet of Guizhen during his Qi training period. At that time, Jinglian layman was already famous in the East China Sea and had a powerful influence in the world of cultivation for 500 years!
Counting the two or three hundred years of obscurity before breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, it stands to reason that he should have reached the end of his lifespan long ago.
But now two decades have passed, and I am still going strong, traveling around the world, and living a good life!
Even if you maintain good health, you won’t be so energetic, right?
Therefore, many people are chasing him because they want to know the secret of his longevity. Maybe his skills or secret techniques really have heaven-defying effects.
Of course, more people still come here for the so-called magic weapon "Hyacinth", fearing that he will use it to control and change the pattern of the world of cultivation.
"Later, I saw more and more people and realized that I couldn't profit from it, so I simply left."
"Some people found out that Jinglian Jinglian also had a disciple named Xiong Shan, so they came back to arrest this person and planned to blackmail Jinglian Jinglian."
"I'm old and don't have many more years to live. Why don't I come back and spend some time with Yuanchun? She has suffered so much these years and has no one to rely on. It's all my fault..."
At this point, the old man actually became affectionate!
"I bother!"
Lin Shan, Lin Fan, and Brother Ji cursed inwardly at the same time.
I just remembered to accompany you now, what were you doing earlier?
Fortunately, Yan Yuanchun was reasonable and endured the suffering. If it had been anyone else, he would have been filled with resentment!
You disappeared for such a long time at every turn. Which woman followed you and stayed alone in an empty room all day long. She looked the same without you. What a bad luck!
Master Huang Xian also knew that he owed too much, so he sighed and regretted endlessly.
However, Protector Yan patted him very gently, and she was very satisfied now that he could be reunited.
It is not difficult to imagine that Luan Chun's character was passed down just like his master.
Lin Shan was silent.
He had actually sensed a long time ago that Master Huang Xian had always had a sense of urgency and was busy running around all day without knowing what he was doing. It turned out that he was doing it to extend his lifespan.
When he really had no choice, he simply spent his last moments to make up for the woman who had been waiting for him all his life.
Protector Yan's face was filled with a bright smile, and her happiness was materialized at this moment. Her wish was really simple, just to be reunited, and it would be worth waiting no matter how long.
"I still have less than half a century to live. Whatever you want to do, feel free to venture out. I can help you with the Kun Cult here in Chu State to take care of you secretly. Nothing will go wrong in a short time."
Master Huang Xian encouraged Lin Shan at this time when he was old. With his level of cultivation at his age, he would be expected to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future, so he should pay more attention to safety when going out.
In the year of Wanhui, there are indeed many more opportunities than usual.
"It's a good time for you! It's a pity, if I were born hundreds of years later..."
Master Huang Xian sighed in the distance, his eyes full of confusion and melancholy.
It is not difficult to imagine that his qualifications must have been unparalleled in the world at the beginning. Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage as a casual cultivator is something that many people would not even dare to imagine.
It's a pity that the hero languishes in his twilight years, regenerates his hair early, and returns to his homeland in a bottle.
"But it's not spring when I come."
He took Protector Yan's hand and his old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
...
After visiting the two elders, the three of them said goodbye and left.
On the way, Lin Fan looked hesitant, and Brother Ji asked him why he was like this.
Lin Fan answered more frankly:
"To tell you the truth, I actually have a life-extending elixir. Although I feel the friendship between them, I didn't want to take out the elixir just now because I wasn't very familiar with them."
Even if he takes it out, Master Huang Xian will never let him suffer a loss and will definitely exchange it for something of equal value.
But the preciousness of something like a life-extending elixir lies in its ability to preserve value.
Everyone is reluctant to hand it over after getting it, thinking that if they get old, they will try it to see if it can change their fate.
Anyway, it’s good to be prepared!
Brother Ji understood his approach very well and said that if it were him, he would hide it and not take it out. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, so there is no need to give it to someone he just met.
Lin Shan was even more upset after hearing this. He didn't expect Master Huang Xian to dislike Lin Fan so much. He didn't expect this guy to have such thoughts.
"Actually...sigh...I also have a life-extending elixir..."
He also obtained the fifth-level elixir Qionlin Star Moss in the Yuxing Secret Treasures. This thing has been verified by the enhanced panel and can extend his life by a full four decades!
That is two hundred and forty years!
If it were an ordinary life-extending elixir, he would have given it away without even thinking about it. However, this medicine was so precious that he couldn't help but keep it for himself. After all, people are prone to misfortune and good fortune, and no one can predict when they get old.
This is also due to his selfishness, and most people would be reluctant to part with it!
But thinking that Master Huang Xian had saved him before, if he was really on his deathbed, he might not be able to just sit back and do nothing.
"That's all, there's still half a century left..."
With a heavy heart, Lin Shan took one last look behind him at the distant Green Ling Mountain. In his imagination, Master Huang Xian and Protector Yan were probably playing the harps, drinking wine and playing chess.
Be a carefree couple.
...
One month later.
"Are we in the right place?"
Brother Ji lay on Lin Shan's shoulder and looked around. They had been going back and forth here for a long time, wandering around like headless flies.
"That's right, right? It's half a quarter of an hour northwest of the Cliff Forbidden Area and 80,000 miles away. Isn't it right here?"
Lin Shan fiddled with the virtual astrolabe, constantly correcting the position, and the pointer made a crisp sound.
It might be more difficult for someone who doesn't understand astrological arithmetic, but for a virtual astrology chart this is not a big problem.
Just then, a woodcutter passed by below, carrying a hatchet and a basket, humming folk songs and walking on the mountain path. It was so pleasant.
Lin Shan and others descended directly, and Brother Ji was the first to question:
"Old man, do you know where Zhabagon is?"
The woodcutter's eyes widened, his mouth opened and he could not speak. He pointed at Brother Chicken and nodded tremblingly.
"Monster, monster!"
With a pop, the basket rolled down and he fainted to the ground!
Lin Fan gave it a complaining look, thinking it was too quick to talk and meddle in other people's business.
"Can't you just stop talking and let us ask?"
"Oh oh oh, let me ask what's wrong!"
The two started bickering again and never stopped on the road.
Lin Shan stepped forward directly, kicked the guy, and made a cold sound.
"Okay, stop pretending, get up, I want to ask you something!"
The woodcutter lay motionless on the ground.
Lin Shan drew the knife directly!
"Oh no, I said, I said, Master, spare your life!"
This guy stood up suddenly and quickly bowed down. He was so happy that he couldn't answer.
"The master is asking about Zhabagong. The entire area here, including the mountains in front of us, belongs to Zhabagon. You are already here!"
Lin Shan asked again:
"Then do you know there is a village nearby?"
"Well..."
The woodcutter paused, his eyes began to wander, and he hesitated without making any sound.
Lin Shan directly lifted the man's collar up.
"Let's go, lead the way!"
