"What the hell... coming and going, it's really boring."
Yu Ci smiled, but then his smile faded, because he saw the monk in the distance standing up unsteadily, looking up at the star-studded night sky, which felt very strange.
"Master Cheng Yen?"
Yu Ci called out tentatively, perhaps because he was weak and there was no response. Yu Ci thought for a moment and simply walked over, picking up the Yuan Pressing Staff on the way. In the mountain forest between the two of them, the power of the Yuan Pressure Staff opened up a long and narrow road, and it was easy to walk through it.
At this time, there was another muffled explosion in the distance. It was rare for Gan Shi to be so unyielding. However, after this blow, there was no more fighting. Whether the tall and thin figure died or escaped, it had nothing to do with Yu Ci. .
After a while, the monk approached. As he got closer, Yu Ci felt more and more that the monk's demeanor was not normal. It was as if something in the sky sucked his soul, and he was completely unaware of Yu Ci who was so close.
Yu Ci also observed the state of the monk's soul through the divine starlight. It was indeed a great loss of vitality. Could it be that there was some kind of memory disorder? Frowning, he called again: "Master Cheng Yen..."
"He once said that Bodhisattva is the vast and endless night sky..."
There was no ending to the sentence, but the word "Bodhisattva" made Yu Ci gasp in surprise. This time, Cheng Yen finally turned around, but did not continue the previous topic, but just looked at him.
My eyes were a little cloudy at first, but the longer I stared at Yu Ci, the clearer they became. Yu Ci looked at his expression and observed the state of his soul. Before he could reach a conclusion, he saw that the monk didn't say a word. He took a step back and then, under the starlight, he clasped his hands above his head, bent down and knelt down. In the dirt, bow down to this side.
The incident happened so suddenly that Yu Ci forgot to dodge. The monk solemnly bowed three times before standing up. His face remained as usual, and he said softly: "I will be reborn by Immortal Yu, and I will repay you later."
At this time, in the monk's brain palace, the soul was like a weak but unquenchable flame, burning stubbornly, but it was so weak that it desperately searched for "fuel", and slowly the divine star it was attached to was burned away. Melted in. Now Yu Ci didn't have to think about taking it back, otherwise the monk might lose his life.
But is this really okay? Yu Ci didn't know, but the monk obviously didn't care. He bowed to Yu Ci again, then turned around and left, very simply.
"Wait!" Yu Ci called out.
The monk stopped and looked back, but his cheek touched something, which was the Yuan Pressing Staff.
"Take this to defend yourself."
Yu Ci didn't say anything like "I'll help you," and even Monk Cheng Yen didn't want to hear it. He only pressed this magical weapon used for worshiping the tenth heaven on the monk's shoulder, and gave him a wooden stick as a gift.
The monk thought for a while, then reached out to take it. A smile suddenly appeared on his slender face, showing his white teeth: "The immortal has good intentions, but he is disrespectful."
At this moment, the smooth and casual monk Cheng Yen seemed to be back again.
Yu Ci laughed and said goodbye. Monk Cheng Yen never looked back and strode into the darkness. Over there was his new world.
Seeing the monk completely submerged in the darkness, Yu Ci shook his head, turned around, and was startled by the figure behind him.
"Uh, Uncle Gan?"
The female cultivator probably came back when Cheng Yen was kneeling and was looking at him with wide eyes: "What have you done?"
Monk Cheng Yen’s behavior was too bizarre, especially for people who didn’t know the reasons before and after, they would be even more confused after seeing it. Yu Ci wanted to explain, but found it difficult to explain in a few words, so he responded vaguely: "Save his life. By the way, Uncle Gan, who was that person just now? He died. ”
Gan Shizhen's personality is to be lovable. Seeing Yu Ci talking nonsense, she just smiled slightly and followed his words and said:
"Looking at its appearance, it must be Zuo Yan."
"Which one?" Yu Ci didn't understand.
"It's Zuo Yan."
The female cultivator's expression became serious, and she solemnly said: "Zuo Yan was born in the Arctic cold territory of the 'Unjust Sect'. "Qiu" can be said to be rare in the world. Zuo Yan is also famous for being surly in Wuyi Sect. He often makes grudges with others and will not stop fighting. , it’s not impossible. I just tried to keep him, but failed, but considering his strength, you should be careful in the near future.”
Yu Ci kept the name "Zuo Yan" in his heart, but he didn't know how much he cared about it. However, he soon solemnly thanked the female cultivator:
"Thank you, Uncle Gan, for traveling thousands of miles to help us, otherwise it would have been very difficult for our disciples to go up tonight."
Facing an enemy of Blood Monk Tu Ling's level, even if Yu Ci had a deep calculation, he did not dare to say that he was sure of victory. He is not a fool. He has resources at hand, so why wouldn't he use them?
Gan Shizhen indeed returned to the mountain gate of Lichen Sect with He Qing to practice in Jiutian Outer Territory. But before she left, Yu Ci had already made an appointment with her. When Monk Cheng Yan left the city, Yu Ci used the sect's flying sword to send the message over. Gan Shizhen followed the mark left by him and chased her. Although he could not Help him deal with the blood monk, but still save his life.
As for only telling Gan Shizhen in circles but not He Qing...
Gan Shizhen lowered her eyes and smiled, and said softly: "Aunt Qing is also very concerned about you. She also said: When someone secretly asks for help, he must want to make a great contribution, and it is difficult to refute her face. In fact, this is not true. It’s okay. It’s okay to take credit for your work in checking for the omissions. I’ll add more as appropriate after you go back and report on your work.”
As expected, it was He Qing's tone, and Yu Ci also smiled. He had never wanted to hide it from He Qing. The reason why he only told Gan Shizhen was to ease his mind. You must know that it was He Qing who announced that the matter in Cliff City was over. He was a junior. Even if he was checking for deficiencies, he still had to save some face for his elders. Listening to Gan Shizhen's narration, although He Qing was still being pretentious in his words, he clearly understood what he meant and his goal was achieved - this was not a matter of understanding, but a matter of politeness.
After the Yi Bao Banquet, Yu Ci did make some corrections on this point, showing that he had adapted to the environment of the Lichen Sect.
At this moment, he felt relaxed - he could finally say it was over.
What will he do next?
************
It is already June, and the summer heat is steaming down the mountain. When it enters the mountains, the hot wind suddenly cools it down. It blows over the peaks and streams, and you can see green grass, blooming mountain flowers, and gurgling streams. When you enter your ears, the dryness will disappear. It spirals up the mountain, which is ten thousand meters high. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a huge stone standing on the high cliff, seven or eight feet high. It is completely black and has three characters "Feiyundu" written on it, painted with red vermilion. Very eye-catching.
When the sun rose directly above the boulder, under the high sky, a pure white sword light was aimed at the boulder and poured down. When it reached the top, the force slowed down and a person appeared. This man is wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. He is a little short and fat, but the Taoist robe is wide and wide. Standing in the wind, he has the air of a fairy. Especially his round face with a smile on his face, which makes him approachable and very popular.
This man put up his tent with one hand on the boulder and looked into the distance for a while. His very thin and light eyebrows suddenly jumped. He saw a figure coming towards this side of the mountain road. His eyes were narrowed and he blinked. He blinked, grinned, and was about to stand up to greet him, but after thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated calmly.
Not long after he sat down, the man on the mountain path climbed to the top of the mountain. The fat Taoist priest did not open his eyes, but there was a smile on his lips. Soon, a voice came from here: "This Taoist priest, please."
The fat Taoist priest opened his eyes and took a closer look. He saw a young man dressed in Taoist clothing under the boulder, looking up. The young man was also wearing a moon-white Taoist robe of the same color as him. His hair was black and tied in a bun. His face was like a jade, and he looked extremely handsome at first glance. The look in his eyes at this time was quite curious.
The fat Taoist priest responded with a smile: "You're welcome, it's fate that we met by chance on the mountain road. Please tell me if you have anything to do."
The young man bowed slightly and said politely, "May I ask where the Tongtian River is?"
"Tongtian River? This is the Tongtian River!"
The fat Taoist smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight, waved his sleeves, and jumped down from the boulder: "Is it possible that the one who came is Junior Brother Yu from Zhi Xin Guan?"
The young man was Yu Ci, and he responded in surprise: "Exactly, the Taoist priest is..."
"Sure enough, it's Junior Brother Yu. My surname is Li and I'm known as Taoist Li. Junior Brother can be called Senior Brother Li or Fatty Li. I'm here today to take Junior Brother to the mountain gate!"

No more words, just change the map.
Actually, the stall is so big that it is indeed a bit loose. Brothers and sisters, are you sure you don’t need me to modify or delete it from scratch? Well, although my hands are itchy, I’m just asking for advice, ha, ha, haha... I want red tickets or something!
