Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 140 Signs of Return

"This..." Master Xingkong suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Yun Ge was seriously injured in the Demon Suppression Cave recently. It is not convenient for him to fight at the moment. Please understand."

This is a sign of authority from Xuanxin Sect to Lord Tianji, and Master Xingkong is well aware of this.

Jin Tian said proudly, "Junior is willing to wait."

"I feel that with a formidable enemy at hand, we should now focus our efforts on searching for the monster." Just then, a Taoist priest stood up and spoke with a righteous tone. He was dressed in a gray robe, sporting a neat mustache and a pair of bushy, long eyebrows. He made a very striking impression. It was Taoist priest Mao Xiaoyuan of the Mao family.

"Amitabha, what the Taoist said makes sense. We are facing a powerful enemy at this moment. We should take care of the people and search for the whereabouts of the monster. This is our top priority." Master Wufa also tried to smooth things over immediately.

"Hmph! Facing a powerful enemy, instead of thinking about how to repel them, you are engaging in internal strife. How can the Xuanxin Sect do that!" A woman said with disdain in her eyes. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with heroic looks between her eyebrows. She was Ma Linger from the Ma family.

Seeing that everyone was starting to point their fingers at him, Jinshan feigned a cold snort and began to scold, "Hmph! Who is that niece Zhao? Are you worthy enough to challenge her? Hurry and back off. Figure out how to find that monster and benefit the people of the world."

Jintian was stunned, feeling extremely upset. It was you who told me to do this, and you made me take the blame. You're such a great leader! I'll do the same thing from now on.

"Yes, it was Tian'er who was rude. Tian'er will apologize to all the elders right now." Then he bowed to everyone and said, "It was the junior who was rude just now. I hope you elders don't take it to heart."

When everyone saw Jinshan scolding Jintian in a hypocritical manner, and Jintian also apologized to everyone and gave them a way out, everyone didn't want to get angry anymore, so they stopped talking.

Seeing everyone silent, Master Xingkong quickly tried to smooth things over, "Alas! Sect Leader Jin, please don't scold nephew Jintian. It's normal for young people to be full of energy. My disciple was also extremely naughty and is now recovering."

"I propose that we arrange for the disciples of the major sects and immortal palaces to work together to search for the whereabouts of the monster. This will allow them to get to know each other and also help unite us on the righteous path."

"Master Xingkong is right."

Everyone nodded in agreement, making Master Xingkong smile. He turned to Zhao Yunhai next to him and said, "Yunhai, you are the oldest here, so you will lead Beixuan and Yunge to search. Remember to put the overall situation first."

"Yes, Master." Zhao Yunhai bowed and accepted the order.

the other side.

Zhao Yunge seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact it was only a superficial injury and exhaustion. He had recovered in three days, but was strictly confined to his home by Master Xingkong and was not allowed to go out. Now that he suddenly received the lifting of the ban, he was naturally cheering.

The first thing she did was to run to find Ye Beixuan who was making a mess in the cave.

After Ye Beixuan woke up, the first thing he did was to check the fragments. Looking at the large, transparent and flawless fragments, he fell into deep thought.

Logically, I'd already found the fragment, so why wasn't there any sign of returning? According to the old man, after finding the fragment, they should have taken me back quickly. Could it be that there was more than one piece?
Just as he was thinking about the reason, there was a knock on the door. Ye Beixuan collected the fragments and shouted, "Who is it?" without thinking too much.

"It's me." A clear and pleasant voice came, obviously from Zhao Yunge.

Ye Beixuan stood up and walked slowly towards the gate. He turned the mechanism and the stone door slowly opened. The figures and faces of the two people came into each other's sight.

"Senior Sister Zhao, what's the matter with you coming here so early?" Ye Beixuan looked at her happy face and spoke first.

Perhaps because she had survived a great disaster, she was in a very good mood at the moment, and her tone was also somewhat happy as she said, "It's like this, the monster has broken the seal, and the master has invited people from Shushan and Xuanxin Sect to discuss it together."

"They all agreed that the monsters are at their weakest right now, so they asked us to seal off Tiankui Mountain and search for the monsters."

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan suddenly felt like a donkey in the production team. How could he start again without taking a day off? But that was fine. Although the fragments were in his hands, there was no sign of returning. There was only one possibility: there were more fragments near Hualong Peak.

"Senior Sister, I just had a day off!" Ye Beixuan twisted his waist, stretched his muscles, and said with a procrastination: "People have to get enough sleep!"

One day? Zhao Yunge looked Ye Beixuan up and down carefully. She felt so sorry for her junior brother. He must have gone out to look for things these past two days. So she said with a distressed tone, "Oh! Isn't this a catastrophe coming? We all want to help!"

"Besides, searching the mountains would be a huge help in finding the thing you're looking for! Think about it, so many people haven't found it yet, so where are you going to find it alone?"

Ye Beixuan felt that this girl was unreliable in everything, but she was very good at controlling herself with the fragments.

"Okay! When do we leave?"

Zhao Yunge immediately pushed Ye Beixuan into the house, saying as he pushed, "Hurry up! I'll help you tidy up."

An hour later.

A sleek and handsome Ye Beixuan, with hair as red as a dog's, emerged. Zhao Yunge carefully examined him from head to toe. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright! Let's go!"

After saying that, she pulled Ye Beixuan, who was still in a daze, and quickly walked out of the cave. With the sound of the stone door closing, the two of them headed towards Tianji Square.

On Tianji Square, sunlight poured down, and beams of golden light illuminated a group of people who were ready to go on the square.

Zhao Yunhai was organizing everyone, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Yunge and Ye Beixuan.

At this moment, a handsome man named Jin Tian in the crowd said with disdain and a hint of sarcasm, "Tianji Pavilion is so grand, yet it leaves so many of us waiting."

As soon as these harsh words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene froze instantly. Everyone reacted differently, and an awkward atmosphere spread instantly, making Zhao Yunhai feel a little embarrassed.

Just when he didn't know how to smooth things over for his sister, a clear and pleasant voice, like a breeze or a cuckoo's song, instantly penetrated the whole place.

"I was just a little slow! Why are you so anxious?"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked and their eyes suddenly lit up. They saw a figure as graceful as a white cloud in the sky walking towards them.

She was wearing a cloud-white long dress, the hems of which fluttered slowly with her steps, and her temperament was like that of a fairy from heaven.

Her eyes were bright and lively, and she was looking at everyone with a smile, not at all disturbed by Jintian's ridicule. Her eyes were full of charm, her nose was slightly wrinkled, her lips were red like cherry blossoms, and her skin was as white as cream. She was incredibly beautiful.

With her beautiful face and lazy and playful temperament, she was like a brilliant meteor, instantly passing through the hearts of everyone present.

Even Huikong, who had been a monk for many years, was suddenly moved at this moment, and even his heart was a little unstable. He quickly put his hands together and silently chanted: "The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger."

Jin Tian stared at her blankly, his heart instantly melting. He froze in his tracks. He was one of the most talented people in the various immortal abodes of Taixuan Mountain, the dream lover of nearly every female disciple there. Now, he had fallen for her instantly. After a long pause, he began to explain, somewhat incoherently, "Fairy Zhao, I...I, truly am a little anxious for the sake of the people of this world. Please forgive me."

Zhao Yunge didn't want to get into trouble either. Before coming here, his master had repeatedly warned him that all the people here were elite disciples from various immortal palaces, and that they were not allowed to subdue anyone by force.

So she didn't continue to mock him, but said in a lazy and playful tone: "Okay! Let's go!"

Her appearance caused several female disciples from other immortal palaces to grit their teeth, especially the jealousy of a female disciple from Xuanxin Sect who had been secretly in love with Jintian for a long time.

"Let's first discuss how to search more appropriately. After all, searching in this mountain range is like looking for a needle in a haystack." A magnetic voice sounded, and everyone noticed Ye Beixuan beside Zhao Yunge.

They looked at the two of them, and the same thought popped up in their minds at the same time: what a perfect match.

At the same time, they actually compared themselves with him, and soon they shook their heads, feeling inferior.

Some female disciples have even thought of names for their children.

Jin Tian finally reacted and spoke quickly, his tone quite elegant and proper, saying, "I wonder who this brother is."

"Him! He's my stupid junior fellow apprentice named Ye Beixuan, who has just joined the sect. This time I'm here to bring him out to broaden his horizons." Before Ye Beixuan could answer, Zhao Yunge was the first to answer. She had already sensed the gazes of some female disciples in the field, and immediately showed her protective side.

"So it's Junior Brother Ye. My apologies." Jin Tian immediately bowed politely and said, "Junior Brother Ye has just joined the Tianji Pavilion, so I'm sure he doesn't know much about some of the cultivation techniques. During the exploration period, just walk behind us. That way, if anything happens, we can come to your rescue in time."

"Yes! Junior Brother Ye has just come to the Immortal Palace to practice, so we still need to take good care of him." A female disciple next to him agreed with stars in her eyes.

Zhao Yunge was furious when she heard this. "You can say that about me, but how dare you say that about my junior brother? I can protect my junior brother myself." She was about to retort when she suddenly felt her little hand being held by a warm and strong hand.

Ye Beixuan smiled and replied, "In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother Jin and all the other senior brothers and sisters."

Silly girl! Someone offers you a free bodyguard and you refuse? You're stupid! Ye Beixuan's heart was suddenly filled with joy. How could you object to such a good thing? It would be better if they took the blame first.

At this moment, Zhao Yunhai saw that the atmosphere was gradually becoming more harmonious, so he said, "Since everyone has no objection to the search, shall we discuss how to proceed?"

"rational."

"We really need to discuss and come up with a definite plan, otherwise there's no point in getting anxious."

Everyone began to discuss how to find the trace of the monster.

"I think it's safer to start the search from the eastern mountains." Someone immediately suggested.

"East? Why? Why not check the west area first?" A nitpicker immediately retorted.

Everyone was discussing it, but there was still no definite plan. Some people thought that it would be safest to check from the east.

Some people believe that as the sun sets in the west, it is more likely to find the demon quickly from the west.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ye Beixuan suddenly spoke up, "I think we should split into two groups and start searching from the foot of the Tianji Pavilion. One group will search from the south from east to west, and the other from the north from east to west. Using the Tianji Pavilion as the starting point, we'll search in circles little by little."

"After the two teams meet at Hualong Peak in the far west, if we don't gain anything, we'll continue to expand outwards, and repeat this process."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised a question, saying, "But this will increase our search intensity. It's like searching in all directions at the same time."

"Yeah! In this case, what if bad luck happens and the people are scattered? What if they encounter a monster and can't rescue them in time?"

"The monster is already injured, so it must be nearby. Since the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, a blanket search like this will maximize our chances of finding the monster," Ye Beixuan continued. "As for the dispersal of our personnel, we should all use paper cranes to keep in touch. If anything goes wrong or we discover something significant, we must promptly inform each other and the sect."

When everyone heard this, no one objected. After all, the other party was doing it all simultaneously, so they had no choice but to agree.

"In that case, Yunhai and Master Huikong will lead one team." Zhao Yunhai then turned to Jintian and said, "Can Master Jin and my sister lead a team?"

Jin Tian was delighted when he heard this. I had already thought about this, so I said modestly, "Jin will definitely do my best."

Seeing that this troublemaker had agreed, no one else could say anything, and both sides quickly decided on the two teams' search disciples.

"Now that the personnel have been assigned, Mr. Jin, we will set out from the south." Zhao Yunhai bowed.

Jin Tian hurriedly bowed and said humbly, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhao. We'll search from the north."

After saying this, Zhao Yunhai and Huikong left, and his figure gradually separated from them until it disappeared.

Seeing that they had already taken action, Jintian said in a gentlemanly and elegant tone, full of magnetism: "Everyone, let's set off too!"

"In that case, please let Mr. Jin lead the way."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Jin."

"Let's go too!" Zhao Yunge said to Ye Beixuan in a soft voice.

"it is good."

Ye Beixuan responded and was about to take a step when he suddenly felt dizzy. He staggered and a huge starry sky suddenly appeared in front of him.

The starry sky gradually approached, and his consciousness gradually merged into the starry sky. As his consciousness gradually floated up, the starry sky gradually moved away from him, and the distant starry sky gradually formed a gorgeous golden river.

The call of "Hey, Junior Brother" brought Ye Beixuan back to his senses instantly, and the river of stars in his mind suddenly disappeared. He looked at Zhao Yunge in a daze, and suddenly found that she seemed unreal.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Zhao Yunge's concerned eyes, Ye Beixuan shook his head and responded, "Maybe I overexerted myself yesterday and I'm a little tired. Let's go quickly!"

Something's wrong! Something's wrong just now. Let's find the second fragment quickly! That sign just now is not a good sign.
