Shuang Zhongshan thought about his situation over the years, and it was really a world of difference.
In order to gather the raw materials for an early-stage mid-level puppet for my son, I had made plans early on. Even then, it took more than thirty years to get them together.
At this time, he didn't think about other aspects at all. Zhu Luomu came here only for this matter.
Before anyone could reach the hall, Zhu Luomu's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Senior Brother Shuang, I won't go in. Uncle Zhang wants you to go to his cave!"
Outside the courtyard, as soon as Zhu Luomu landed here, he saw that the ban on the other party's courtyard had been opened, but he did not enter, but stood outside the courtyard and spoke loudly.
After Zhu Luomu received Li Yan's message, he could have simply sent a disciple to convey the message. He had many things to do.
In addition to all kinds of trivial matters for the sect, he also has to practice and refine elixirs.
But after thinking about it, I decided to take a trip myself.
Elder Zhang rarely lets others do things. Occasionally, he leaves it to his disciples, which seems a bit disrespectful.
Shuang Zhongshan paused as he walked towards the hall, and the smile on his face turned into astonishment.
Outside the courtyard, Shuang Zhongshan looked at Zhu Luomu with confusion on his face.
"Junior Brother Zhu, what does Elder Zhang want from me?"
He is older than Zhu Luomu. A few days ago, at Zhu Luomu's insistence, he still called him junior brother.
"I don't know about this. I thought Senior Brother Shuang himself knew the reason!"
Zhu Luomu smiled and shook his head. He knew that his master and Elder Zhang had gone out together, as if to deal with an extremely secret matter.
But the specific reason is unknown. Now Elder Zhang has just come back and summoned Shuang Zhongshan.
He thought that because Elder Zhang left in a hurry, some things had not been explained clearly before, so he made an appointment to meet again after a while.
After all, after Shuang Zhongshan came, Elder Zhang only met him once and then left the sect.
In his opinion, if Shuang Zhongshan is really strong in the machine arts, Elder Zhang will definitely regard him as a confidant, and of course he should give personal instructions on some things.
Shuang Zhongshan also shook his head when he heard this.
"Hehehe, maybe I'm just asking you about your situation in the sect recently. I'll find out if I take you there!"
Zhu Luomu chuckled.
When the two flew to the "Star Cave", Zhu Luomu turned and left.
Only Shuang Zhongshan, who was a little nervous, was left. Shuang Zhongshan was still a little afraid of Elder Zhang.
The scene of the other party easily obliterating the two foundation-building monks that day is still vivid in my mind. The other party killed people like drinking water.
Golden elixir monks are powerful, but if their methods are too weird, it will inevitably make people feel chilly in their hearts. If you can have less contact, you should have less contact.
"Come in!"
Just when Shuang Zhongshan looked at the entrance of the valley in front of him and was about to speak, the mist at the entrance of the valley rolled up, revealing an elegant path through the maple forest.
At the same time, a voice without much emotion came into his mind, making his heart tremble.
After a cup of tea, Shuang Zhongshan stood in Li Yan's cave, with his hands lowered and his face respectful.
"Uncle Master, I don't know what I want to tell you when I call my disciples here?"
Li Yan was sitting at the top, with neither joy nor sadness on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Li Yan pointed to a stone chair on the side.
"Sit down, I have something to ask you!"
As soon as he said these words, Shuang Zhongshan's heart skipped a beat, as something seemed to have happened to him.
But because I was afraid of being searched, I told almost everything. Did the other party find something wrong?
For this reason, Shuang Zhongshan could only guarantee that what he said at that time was the truth, but there were some too secret things that he kept deeply in his heart.
If the other party searches for his soul, he cannot be considered to have told lies. After all, a person has experienced so much in his life, and it is impossible to tell them all.
"What else did he find?"
Shuang Zhongshan was trembling in his heart, but after years of being on the run, he still maintained a respectful expression on his face and sat down as he was told.
Li Yan asked seemingly casually.
"I heard you said before that you are a branch of the Du Ye Clan. Does the Du Ye Clan have a branch that is proficient in formations?"
Li Yan's question made Shuang Zhongshan stunned. He didn't understand why the other party asked such a question and what was his purpose?
After hesitating for a moment, he answered cautiously.
"Uncle Qi, our Duye clan does not have a separate lineage that practices formations. We are either proficient in alchemy or weapon refining.
It's just that there are many types of weapon refining. Some are good at refining magic weapons, some are good at refining machine puppets, and some are good at refining zombie puppets...
But no matter which branch or what they are good at, they all need to have certain attainments in formations, otherwise they will not be able to engrave formation restrictions in elixirs or magic weapons.
But it doesn’t count as practicing the formation alone!”
After Shuang Zhongshan answered, he glanced at Li Yan out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other person was still expressionless. For a moment, he didn't even know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
When he said these words, he was constantly considering them in his heart, for fear of revealing the secret that he least wanted to reveal.
"Oh? Then do you remember that there is a golden elixir-level female cultivator in your clan who is proficient in formations?"
"This... of course exists. Not to mention the clan, there are two elders in our branch who have very strong attainments in Jindan formations, and both of them are women. Uncle Master, what are you..."
Li Yan said no more at this time. He suddenly waved his hand and with a "pop", a figure fell limply to the ground.
The man was as plump as water and had a beautiful face, but his beautiful eyes were tightly closed at this moment, as if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Shuang Zhongshan was startled by Li Yan's actions, and then saw a person falling on the ground. He was a little confused for a moment, but subconsciously cast his eyes over him.
when he
When he saw clearly the woman lying on her side on the ground, her buttocks bounced up as if she had been pricked by a needle not long after she sat down.
"Fourth aunt..."
Li Yan wasn't too surprised when he saw Shuang Zhongshan's face changed drastically and he lost his voice.
When he first saw the bear-shaped puppet that the other party took out, he felt that the aura it exuded was very similar to the puppet that Shuang Lianzhou took out.
"Senior, senior, Si...she...what's wrong with her?"
Shuang Zhongshan lost his composure only for a moment, and his face regained its composure, but he had already stood up.
With a "pop" sound, he knelt down towards Li Yan.
But his seemingly calm expression fell into Li Yan's eyes, and he could see that Shuang Zhongshan was extremely panicked at this time.
"Uncle Master" has been forgotten and he calls himself "Senior" again and again.
"It seems that you do know her. It's nothing. This person was just knocked out by me after my magic was blocked."
"Senior, she is the fourth aunt of the junior, and an elder of the junior's small lineage.
When the clan was besieged, several elders in the clan tried their best to stop the enemies, allowing the juniors and Quanzi to escape.
The younger generation thought that only my father and son were left in the family, but they did not expect that the fourth aunt was still alive.
I don’t know how Fourth Aunt could have offended Senior, and she asked Senior to be noble and let her go. Junior...Junior..."
Having said this, Shuang Zhongshan was a little stuck. For a moment, he didn't know what precious things he could give in exchange for the life of his elders.
The most valuable thing about him is the "divine magic", but the other party is not interested, otherwise he would have snatched it away.
Li Yan gently raised his hand to brush up the frosty mountain.
"No need, I don't have any grudges with her, it's just that she helped my opponent, and I saw that the aura of the puppet she brought out was somewhat familiar, so I didn't kill her.
Asked her if she knew you, she said she didn't and she wanted to search for your soul, but after thinking about it, she asked you to come over and confirm.
In this case, you can talk about it, but don't try to lift her seal, otherwise, you will naturally know the consequences."
After Li Yan said that, he immediately stood up and walked towards the back.
Before leaving, he flicked his sleeves and a black light fell on the woman on the ground, and then Li Yan's figure disappeared.
Only Shuang Zhongshan was left, who was shocked and delighted, with a very complicated expression on his face for a moment.
"Fourth Aunt is a friend of Elder Zhang's enemy. This... this matter is big or small..."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, he hurriedly walked towards the woman.
After waiting for a while, Shuang Zhongshan's surprised voice came from the hall.
"Fourth aunt, are you awake? It's me, Chongshan!"
"Heavy...heavy mountains..."
Then there was a weak voice, with surprise and doubt in the voice...
Li Yan was sitting in a side room drinking tea. His eyes were slightly narrowed, making people wonder what he was thinking.
"This female cultivator is also proficient in puppetry, and her accomplishments are certainly not comparable to those of Shuang Zhongshan, but what is her relationship with Jiang Baibi? Without soul searching, we may not know the truest situation..."
In this way, after Li Yan drank a cup of tea while thinking, he stood up and walked to the hall in front.
In the hall ahead, the female cultivator surnamed Yang has been helped by Shuang Zhong to sit on a stone chair.
Although she woke up, her body was lying limply in the chair, without any strength to support her body.
Shuang Zhongshan stood aside with his hands down, whispering to him. When footsteps were heard, the two of them stopped talking, and then looked towards the back of the hall.
The female cultivator surnamed Yang could only glance at him from the corner of her eyes. She didn't even have the strength to turn her head.
Li Yan deliberately walked slowly. When he entered the hall, he ignored the two people who looked over and went straight to the main seat and sat down.
Before he could speak, Shuang Zhongshan stepped forward and paid homage.
"Uncle, my aunt has something to tell you..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued.
"I don't know how my aunt has offended my uncle, but I still ask my uncle to let her go for the sake of my being a disciple of "Luo Xing Valley".
After all... after all, there are probably only three of us left in my clan, and my aunt said that she has never met your uncle before, and has no grudges. Everything happened because of others, so I ask your uncle to make it happen!"
After saying this, Shuang Chongshan bowed respectfully and walked directly out of the cave.
Just now, when he heard the sound of footsteps, the female cultivator surnamed Yang told him that he would have a private conversation with Elder Zhang later, and there were some words that he did not need to know, so he had to avoid them.
Although Shuang Zhongshan was worried about the elder's safety, he did not dare to disobey the other party's wishes. Moreover, Zhang Ming wanted to kill Fourth Gu, and he was completely powerless to stop him.
So, I immediately followed my words and went outside the cave to wait for the results.
He is also a person who is used to seeing life and death. He will not bother with things that he can't do anything about. This will make Elder Zhang unhappy.
In this regard, Li Yan remained silent. After Shuang Zhongshan left, he slowly spoke.
"You didn't tell him what happened at the bottom of the sea?"
The female cultivator surnamed Yang sighed and did not immediately answer Li Yan's question. She said weakly.
"I have learned about his past from Chongshan Pass, and I also know that fellow Taoist once saved the lives of his family of three, and that fellow Taoist did not covet the inherited skills of my Shuang family.
For these things, the slave family feels deeply from the bottom of their hearts. This gratitude must be expressed clearly first without adding anything else.
Secondly, since fellow Taoists are monks of the ‘Luo Xing Valley’, it further proves that the secret cave under the sea was not opened by a few fellow Taoists.
But for me now, no matter whether that secret cave is left over from ancient times or has some other relationship with several fellow Taoists, I will never mention it to others.
I have nothing to guarantee this. Whether you believe it or not depends only on your Taoist thoughts."
