Following the sound, I saw a familiar figure flying towards me quickly, and stopped in front of me in the blink of an eye. It was none other than Nangong Wan, whom I had not seen for many years.
The other party was wearing a moon-white palace dress, her style was slightly plain but elegant, and her appearance was even more graceful than before. What surprised Mo Juren even more was that the other party's cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"After so many years, Miss Nangong has finally reached this point. It's really gratifying. Mo is here to congratulate you." Mo Juren cupped his hand.
"I would also like to thank my Taoist friend for the gift of the Art of Forgetting Love, otherwise I wouldn't have succeeded." Nangong Wan couldn't help but sigh a little when she mentioned her own cultivation problems. She also didn't expect that the auxiliary effect of this art would be so powerful.
The truth was beyond her expectation, and her gratitude to the person in front of her became even stronger.
"It's easy, don't worry about it." Mo Juren smiled and then said,
"Speaking of which, why are you here?"
"I happened to pass by here when I was traveling, and for some other reasons I stayed in Jinyue Valley for a while." Nangong Wan explained briefly and then asked,
"How could Fellow Daoist Mo know this..."
"Mo also happened to be passing by and planned to stay for a while to participate in the big trade fair a year later." Mo Juren said as he held the token and pasted it towards the light curtain formed by the formation in front.
White light flashed past, and the light curtain seemed to be cut open from top to bottom, revealing a passage about ten feet high.
Seeing this, he just said again,
"This is not the place to talk. If Miss Nangong has nothing to do, why not go to Mo's cave to talk?"
"Sorry to bother you." If it were anyone else, Nangong Wan might still refuse, but the person in front of her was an exception. Not to mention the other person's special status, just the kindness of saving her life in the past and the later gift of magic were enough to convince her.
Trust, tap your head lightly and then follow the other person into the channel.
After all, it is the top-notch cave in Jinyue Valley. Not to mention the concentration of spiritual energy, the interior decoration and layout are also extremely exquisite, and all the things used are of the highest quality.
The outermost is an independent courtyard, paved with bluestone, clean and tidy, and the surrounding area is planted with countless exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers lingers in it.
Inside are stone chambers of different sizes, with appropriate layout and complete functions. Whether it is a secret room for practicing martial arts or a beast room for spiritual beasts, they are all well planned.
He even discovered a special fire chamber in the innermost part, which was directly connected to an underground fire vein, which could be used for both alchemy and weapon refining.
"It is indeed a top-notch cave. The aura alone is much better than the high-end one I rented." In front of a stone table in the yard, Nangong Wan chuckled softly as he looked at Mo Juren walking out of the stone room.<
/p>
"You shouldn't be short of spirit stones, right?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. With the other party's current cultivation level, he can't even afford to rent a top-notch cave.
Also sitting down, a flash of brilliance appeared in his hand, revealing a set of exquisite tea sets, and then he became even more busy.
"I'm just looking for a place to stay and stay for a while. There's no need for such luxury. Besides, the rental time is too short and I can't meet the conditions for staying in a top-notch cave." Nangong Wan explained softly, but suddenly thought of something, Hua Feng
One turn,
"Fellow Taoist, you probably won't stay too long. How could you..."
"Not long ago, I visited the Red Dust Fairy of Baye Sect with a friend. Since the other party gave me a token as a gift, I naturally don't need to follow those rules." Mo Juren explained briefly.
"The Red Dust Fairy Ye Xiyue, is that her?" Nangong Wan suddenly understood. Suddenly, her heart moved and she said again,
"That good friend of yours should be the True Lover from the Jiqing Sect. The rumors that she has a close relationship with the Fairy of the Red Dust seem to be true."
"It seems that the matter has really spread." Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly and he sighed softly.
"How could such shocking news be concealed?" Nangong Wan shook his head slightly, with unconcealed curiosity in his beautiful eyes, and asked again,
"How did you do it in the late stage of Dan Formation to compete with the early stage of Nascent Soul?"
"How are you sure that the rumors are true? What if they are exaggerated?" Mo Juren asked with a smile.
"Maybe, but I believe it is true." Nangong Wan shook his head slightly, and then said,
"Your many achievements are so dazzling that people have to believe it. It's not just me, I think most of the people who heard this news have the same idea."
"It seems that I can't help but deny it." After hearing the other party's analysis, Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. As for the explanation, it's better to forget it and keep a little sense of mystery.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Nangong Wan suddenly felt a little depressed. With her intelligence, she couldn't tell what the other person was thinking, obviously she didn't want to satisfy her curiosity.
At this time, a burst of elegant fragrance suddenly came, which was refreshing. Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile and joked, "You really know how to enjoy it, and you will never wrong yourself wherever you go."
"The path of spiritual practice is inherently boring, and occasionally satisfying your appetite is a kind of refreshment." As he spoke, Mo Juren directly pushed the brewed cup of spiritual tea forward.
"Try it and see how it tastes?"
"It's impossible for you, the owner of Building Mo, to have bad things." Nangong Wanran smiled, then picked up the tea cup and tasted it briefly. The moment the spirit tea entered her mouth, her bright eyes suddenly narrowed.
"It is indeed a good tea. Thank you very much, Master Mo, for the hospitality."
"My family, just feel free to do it. You don't need to be so polite." Mo Juren smiled, but his meaningful words directly made the other party's cheeks turn red.
"Is he... okay?" Nangong Wan couldn't help but asked softly, suppressing her somewhat confused emotions.
"Very good, it's almost time to come back in a few decades." Mo Juren drank tea, but directly gave the answer he was most looking forward to.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Nangong Wan suddenly looked happy. However, he suddenly thought of something, and then suppressed his joy, and was replaced by melancholy that could not be concealed.
Mo Juren probably guessed what the other party was thinking, but he really couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent. After a pause, he immediately changed the subject and said:
"I heard you mention traveling before. How was it? Is it fruitful?"
"It's okay." Nangong Wan came back to her senses and continued,
"I have been to many places over the years, including the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, the Tiandao Alliance, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and hundreds of other countries, and I have gained a lot. Yu Country is the last stop. I plan to return to the sect after attending the big trade fair.
."
"You also want to participate in this trade fair?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said,
"Then why don't you go directly to Tiantian City instead of staying here?"
"Of course there is a reason." At this point, Nangong Wan suddenly looked solemn, and a slightly incomplete black jade slip appeared, pushing it forward.
"While traveling in other countries, I got this by chance. Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look and talk about it."
"This is..." The moment he saw the jade slip, Mo Juren felt an inexplicable coldness hit his heart, and his heart suddenly shivered. He hesitated for a moment, and then he found a ray of spiritual consciousness and entered it.
Maybe I was overthinking it and it was just a false alarm. This was just an ordinary jade slip. After reading the contents inside, I couldn’t help but shine my eyes and said,
"What is recorded here should be the location of an ancient ruins. Are you just going to reveal it to me?"
"Just think of it as a little repayment of past kindness. There may be no treasures in it, so don't mind." Nangong Wan nodded and continued,
"Besides, this jade slip always gives me a very strange feeling. Maybe it's not a treasure, but a trap. It's too risky for me to explore it alone.
Having more than one person will give you more protection. Originally, I planned to find another friend to act together, but I happened to meet you. Since some of your strength is comparable to that of a strong person in the early stage of Nascent Soul, I simply didn’t bother."
"That's it!" Mo Juren did not agree immediately, but groped for the jade slip in his hand and began to think deeply. After a while, he said,
"Have you ever found the specific location?"
"Going all the way west from Yu Jingcheng, you are in the 'Ten Thousand Poison Swamps' which is about 800 miles away. The reason why I stopped in Jinyue Valley this time is also for this matter." Nangong Wan did not hide anything and said directly.
"The Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, one of the three most dangerous places in the Yu Kingdom, is actually there!" Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while he asked again,
"That being the case, it's still not safe for just you and me. How about adding another person?"
"You are referring to Zhen Qingzhen, so of course you can." Nangong Wan continued without any hesitation,
"I practice "The Secret of Forgetting Love", which is the supreme secret method of the Jiqing Sect that is not passed down to others. Although I got it from you, I am also grateful to Master Qing. I will take this opportunity to get to know you." p>
"You should become friends." Mo Juren nodded, handed the jade slip back to the other party and said again,
"When do you plan to leave?"
"Originally, I was thinking of finding a good friend of mine. She happens to be in retreat and won't be able to come over for at least half a year. Now it doesn't matter, I can do it at any time."
"Then half a year later." Mo Juren thought for a while and replied.
"Ah..." Nangong Wan was startled for a moment, then reacted and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that I also need to make some preparations to avoid encountering any dangers that are difficult to deal with."
After getting down to business, the two parties began to discuss some details. After all, the Poison Swamp is not a kind place. There are omnipresent poisons, countless poisonous insects and poisonous beasts, etc., so we must not be careless.
There are even rumors that there are some special areas deep in the swamp, and their environment is extremely harsh. Even if a Nascent Soul stage monk falls into it, there is still a huge risk.
While they were discussing, a voice suddenly came from outside the cave, interrupting their thoughts.
Nangong Wan's starry eyes flickered, and she had a vague guess. Sure enough, Mo Juren directly controlled the formation to open a passage, and said with a smile:
"The person you want to meet is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked in, it was love.
The moment she entered the courtyard, she was suddenly startled, and then looked at the stunning woman beside the stone table, her bright eyes flashing and said: "It turns out there is an honored guest, who is this fellow Taoist?"
"Nangong Wan of the Hidden Moon Sect, I have met Qing Zhenren." Before Mo Juren could introduce him, Nangong Wan stood up on his own initiative and bowed seriously.
"Yueyue Sect!" Liao Qing's heart moved and she said again,
"I remembered that more than ten years ago, the Hidden Moon Sect had a new Nascent Soul stage elder, and even held a grand ceremony for it. I guess it was Fellow Taoist Nangong."
"If you really don't give up, just call me little sister. Speaking of which, the reason why I was able to break through the Nascent Soul stage so smoothly is thanks to the help of Guizong's supreme secret technique "Forgetting Love"."
""The Secret of Forgetting Love"! How could you..." After hearing the other party's explanation, Master Lingqing's expression suddenly changed. This is an undisclosed secret of the Jiqing Sect. He had specifically warned Mo Juren about this secret when he told it to him.
However, he can only understand it himself and must not reveal it to a third party.
How dare he? Could it be that his words were so unimportant? When she thought of this, she couldn't help feeling disappointed, and she even wanted to question him on the spot.
However, he still didn't speak after all. Let's just reveal it. He gave his whole heart to him, why do he still care about it? It's just a secret technique, just follow him. In fact, if it doesn't involve "The Art of Forgetting Love"
》,She won’t be so sensitive.
Even though I thought so, I still couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, especially since the woman in front of me was no worse than her in appearance, temperament, or cultivation aptitude, so the uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.
However, at this moment, a message suddenly sounded in her ears. After hearing it, she was stunned, and her eyes subconsciously looked at Mo Juren.
"Stop standing, sit down first." Mo Juren smiled helplessly. After the other party sat down, he made another cup of spiritual tea and handed it to the other party and said,
"I have a disciple named Han Li, and Miss Nangong is Li'er's... confidante!"
After hearing this, Ling Qing was finally convinced that he had indeed thought too much, and his mood instantly became lighter. In contrast, Nangong Wan's cheeks instantly turned red after hearing such a straightforward introduction.
The identity of the other party is really too special. He is not only Han Li's master, but also his father-in-law, a true elder. With such a positive introduction, isn't it a disguised expression of acceptance of him?
At least you don't object, right? Thinking this, I felt shy but also inexplicably happy.
"Han Li, I really wish I had heard of it somewhere..." Master Liaoqing murmured a few words, then suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly and he said,
"You're right, could it be that boy from Huang Maple Valley in the past, and Yue'er..."
"It's him." Mo Juren sighed. Sooner or later he couldn't hide it, and he didn't deny it. After hearing this, the mood that had improved for the better turned sharply again. When he looked at the other person, his eyes were full of unspeakable things.
Complex.
Both of them were silent for a long time. Nangong Wan couldn't help but feel puzzled. She didn't understand what the secret was. But she just heard Yue'er's name. She was obviously a woman. Could it be that she had something to do with Han Li?
Entanglement?
The three of them had their own thoughts, and for a while, the whole yard became extremely quiet.
