Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One: Pill and Encounter
Liu Xingye hesitated for a moment, and for some unknown reason, he slowly shook his head.
"No, if I return with my defeated army today, who will follow me into the mountains in the future?
Besides, Mo Lin’s gang will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and won’t let you and I have an easy time!”
Hearing the word "Mo Lin", Luo Bin frowned, threw out two talismans to fight off the attacking ghosts, and said:
“But if we hold on for a moment longer, you and I may not be able to escape!
What kind of back-up does Senior Brother have? Please come out quickly!"
"Brother, I do have a magic weapon that is at the bottom of the box, but I need my junior brother to act as bait, otherwise the ghosts are so scattered that it will be difficult to catch them all in one go."
Liu Xingye turned his palm and took out a small golden clock with many scars on its surface, staring at Luo Bin with bright eyes.
"Senior Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's see what Junior Brother's methods are!"
What is surprising is that after Luo Bin heard that he needed to take such a risky undertaking, he agreed directly without any hesitation.
"Junior brother, don't be anxious. Bringing this talisman with you will ensure your safety."
Liu Xingye took off a talisman from his shoulder and pressed it on Luo Bin's shoulder.
Luo Bin was speechless, just nodded heavily, and then rushed into the group of ghosts.
I saw a green flying sword flying up and down, provoking all the ghosts around.
These stupid creatures immediately turned their guns and headed towards Luo Bin.
When the other disciples saw this, they all stopped their hands, only defending but not attacking, so that Luo Bin could successfully gather the ghosts in one place.
The speed of Yin Gui's escape was far faster than that of a monk in the Qi training stage, but Luo Bin had a wind-controlling talisman attached to his legs, so he was very dexterous in his movements.
If he really can't escape, he will use one or two low-level talismans to drive away the ghosts.
Luo Bin was in danger several times in just ten seconds, but most of the ghosts gathered in one place. Liu Xingye immediately seized the opportunity and threw the golden bell over Luo Bin's head.
Then he gathered his magic power and fired a spell at the golden bell with all his strength.
I saw a flash of golden light, and the small golden bell suddenly turned into a giant bell one foot high.
Liu Xingye then fired another spell, and only heard a shuddering buzz. The ghosts froze in mid-air as if they had been cast a immobilization spell.
Then a golden beam of light shone out, sucking all the ghosts into the golden bell. In an instant, the ghosts around Luo Bin were swept away and all were taken into the golden bell.
Liu Xingye showed great joy and wanted to take back the golden bell, but the golden bell only shrank in size, his magic was broken, and the golden bell bounced back to its original shape.
Liu Xingye's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something was wrong, so he immediately activated his limited magic power in an attempt to strengthen the magical suppressive power of the Golden Bell Magical Artifact.
But even though he worked so hard that sweat appeared on his forehead, the golden bell still couldn't be taken back, and it hung in the air and swayed uncontrollably.
At this time, Luo Bin and others also realized that something unexpected had happened. It seemed that Liu Xingye's magic weapon could not contain such a sinister ghost, and the smile that had just appeared suddenly disappeared.
"Cracked! The golden bell is cracked!"
A disciple pointed to a small crack that had just appeared on the surface of the golden clock and exclaimed.
"Senior brother, the most important thing is to save your life. Even if you fail this time, as long as you don't die, you can always make a comeback!"
Luo Bin rushed to Liu Xingye, who was working hard, and urged him hurriedly.
If he runs out of mana here, he will never be able to escape.
Liu Xingye glanced at his friend, a look of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he took out a talisman from his storage bag with a talisman shaped like a firebird and an extremely powerful aura.
"This is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity. As long as we kill these Yin ghosts, we will get enough Yin Soul Pearls for you and me to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Having said that, Li Xingye gathered the last mana in his Dantian at his fingertips to activate the heirloom talisman.
However, at this moment, a palm pressed down on Liu Xingye's shoulder from behind.
Suddenly, not only was Liu Xingye's magic power banned, but the magic power gathered at his fingertips flowed back to his Dantian uncontrollably.
Such a wonderful method horrified Liu Xingye, and he was stunned on the spot.
After Luo Bin noticed something strange about his friend, he noticed that two strange figures had appeared behind them at some unknown time.
Before he could react, Jin Zhong could no longer hold on without Liu Xingye's mana supply.
With a "bang", the golden bell exploded, and the escaped ghosts rushed towards them like a white tide.
Luo Bin's scalp suddenly became numb, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.
But the next moment, there was a faint flash of silver light behind him, and all the ghosts like a tide were wiped out as if thousands of needles had penetrated their bodies.
The group of Yin ghosts disappeared like false illusions, and only the Yin soul beads falling from the sky told everyone that this was not an illusion.
Although everyone was jealous of the Yin Po Pearls all over the floor, no one dared to pick them up because the male and female monks who suddenly appeared had not yet spoken.
Liu Xingye came back from the shock and found that the hand that had been pressing on his shoulder had already moved away. He took two steps forward, then turned around and saluted:
"Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. I am Liu Xingye, and please leave your name, senior. I will definitely repay you in the future."
When he saluted and thanked him, Liu Xingye used his spiritual consciousness to sense the cultivation level of the other party. The female cultivator gave him an unfathomable feeling, but his spiritual consciousness swept over the male cultivator as if it were a mortal.
But it is clear that the other party killed a large group of ghosts with just a few moves!
Could it be that he was a monk in the alchemy stage? Liu Xingye couldn't help but bend his waist even lower.
"Xingye, Senior Brother Liu is really obsessed with revitalizing the family."
There is no doubt that the person who appeared in the Zhongling Mountains and rescued a group of Yellow Maple Valley disciples was Luo Hong, who was traveling with Xiao Cuier.
After saying something that made Liu Xingye confused, Luo Hong turned his eyes and looked at the nervous Luo Bin and said:
"Did your ancestors come from Yue?"
"Ah? Oh, senior, my ancestors are from Shanyang City in the Yue Kingdom."
Luo Bin was stunned by Luo Hong's question. After he realized what he was asking, he quickly saluted and responded.
"Who are you, Luo Ying?"
Luo Hong saw that this person's eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Luo Ying, and he had a guess in his mind, so he asked bluntly.
"Luo Ying is the great-great-grandmother of this junior generation."
When Luo Bin heard Luo Hong ask this question, he couldn't help but think of something, and raised his head and glanced at Luo Hong secretly.
"I see."
Luo Hong nodded slightly, and his thoughts were suddenly brought back to the past. He recalled the girl who jumped up and down to deliver food to him, his stern but doting grandfather, and his father who always looked like a doormat at home. He asked with excitement.
Tell him about your dear mother.
Because the demons in his heart have been eliminated, when Luo Hong recalled these things, he was neither brooding nor complaining. He just smiled knowingly and returned to the present moment.
"Both of you have some fate with me. I see that your cultivation is about to reach the threshold of foundation building, so I will give you these two foundation building pills."
Two round pills flew out of the treasure bag and fell into the hands of Luo Bin and Liu Xingye.
When the two of them smelled the strong fragrance of the medicine, they knew that the pill was genuine. It was the Foundation Building Pill that they had been thinking about day and night. Just as they were about to say thank you, the two figures disappeared.
While they were searching around, a faint voice came from above:
"The Zhongling Mountain Range has been unstable recently. If you don't want to lose your life, you should get out of the mountain quickly."
"Senior, how should I repay my kindness?"
Liu Xingye was unwilling to let the opportunity go and shouted loudly.
Do you want to repay your kindness? You clearly want to mess with me again, and Luo Bin is too embarrassed to point out his good friend.
Sure enough, there was no response from the top of my head.
Liu Xingye sighed slightly disappointedly, but when he caught a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, he laughed happily and said to Luo Bin beside him:
"Junior brother, this senior seems to have some connection with your ancestors. Didn't you leave any words in your family?"
"They say she is great-great-grandmother. If I hadn't read the genealogy, I wouldn't have remembered this name at all."
Luo Bin is not greedy either. Being able to obtain a Foundation Building Pill for nothing is a good thing that can make you laugh out of your dreams.
There are still so many Yin Soul Pearls on the ground. Even if you share a share with everyone, it is enough to exchange for many pills for improving your cultivation.
Of course, after returning home, he would still ask the elderly at home about this matter.
While the two were talking, the other brothers gathered around, their eyes full of envy, but no one had any ill intentions.
This is a gift from the senior masters. Even if they have the power to take their lives, they can’t spend their lives.
Liu Xingye took advantage of this shareholder trend to win over people's hearts.
Then, after everyone picked up all the dropped Yin Po Pearls, they retreated out of the mountains at full speed.
...
On the other side, after Luo Hong escaped, he did not conduct any secret observations and continued to escape to the place where Nie Ying's accident occurred under the leadership of Xiao Cuier.
In order to cope with the possible danger, Luo Hong's escape speed was not very fast, and he flew extremely low, only a little higher than the treetops.
Because she was still outside the Zhongling Mountains and Luo Hong was by her side, Xiao Cuier didn't look nervous. After holding it in for a while, she couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Uncle Luo, that disciple named Luo Bin is a descendant of your Luo family?"
If it were a descendant, there would be no reason why Master Linghu wouldn't make some arrangements.
"He is not a member of our Luo family since he is a married woman from outside our Luo family."
Luo Hong remained vigilant at all times. Even under the suppression of the gray mist, he used his spiritual consciousness to cover a radius of hundreds of miles.
"I'm a married woman, but that disciple's surname is clearly Luo?"
Xiao Cuier said doubtfully, she was getting more and more confused.
"Haha, when Luo left that year, he left behind a collection of spiritual stone artifacts and gave them to the elders in the family. Maybe he changed his surname because of this."
Grandpa looked like someone who would care about this matter... As soon as Luo Hong's thoughts changed, he guessed what happened.
Xiao Cuier wanted to say something about what happened back then, but when she saw Luo Hong's brows suddenly frowning slightly, she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.
"Be careful, there are other monks."
Luo Hong immediately sensed the magical aura of two Nascent Soul monks, and immediately had no intention of chatting.
"That direction is exactly where the accident happened. It may be the monks of Qingxu Sect."
Xiao Cuier followed Luo Hong's gaze, estimated the distance and said.
"Well, the magic aura is indeed similar to that of the Taoist priests from the Qingxu Sect."
The barrier of the gray fog made Luo Hong's senses much blurred, otherwise there would be no need to keep guessing here.
Most of them are here because of evil things. Since they will meet sooner or later, it is better to go and meet them now.
Thinking like this, Luo Hong reached out and grabbed Xiao Cuier's shoulder, lifted it up quickly, and suddenly turned into a stream of light.
After a while, the two arrived at the source of the breath.
The other party sensed their aura and did not take any drastic action.
After reaching a visual distance, Luo Hong saw that among the two Nascent Soul monks, one was an old Taoist wearing a soapy green robe, a white jade crown on his head, and a white-haired Taoist handbag.
The other person is clearly Nangong Wan!
The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect were also attacked by evil things?
Luo Hong landed not far from the two of them with doubts.
"This must be the newly promoted Taoist Fellow from Huang Maple Valley, Fellow Daoist Luo Hongluo, right?
Poor Taoist Wuyouzi is the Supreme Elder of the Qingxu Sect."
The old Taoist priest announced his Taoist number with a kind and authentic face.
"I'm in Luohong, and I've met fellow Taoist monks.
Fellow Taoist, are you here because of the gray shadow evil thing?"
The impressive impression of Qingxu Sect on Luo Hong was not good, so he went straight to the topic without making too many pleasantries.
"Uncle Master, that Taoist priest is the one who went into the mountains with me and Senior Sister Nie."
Xiao Cuier looked at a middle-aged Taoist priest next to Wuyouzi and said in a message.
"Exactly. After my nephew Fuyunzi was invaded by the evil thing, Pindao tried all kinds of methods but could not separate his soul from the evil thing.
In desperation, Pindao could only temporarily seal it into the Qingxu Furnace and come here to find a cure.
It is said that Master Nie’s nephew from your noble family was also robbed, I wonder what the situation is now?”
Wuyouzi shook off the dust and looked calm and authentic.
"Master Nephew Nie is fine. I don't know why Fellow Taoist Nangong is here. Could it be that the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect also had an accident?"
Luo Hong did not conceal Nie Ying's escape from danger and asked Nangong Wan about her purpose.
"Fairy Nangong was invited by Pindao.
A poor Taoist is not as bold as a Taoist friend who is an expert. Something must have happened deep in the Zhongling Mountains, and it is really dangerous to go into the mountains alone."
Without waiting for Nangong Wan's response, Wuyouzi explained Luo Hong's question for her, and then said:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Linghu knows the origin of the evil thing and what method he used?"
"If he had known, Luo wouldn't be here.
As for Senior Brother Linghu’s magical powers, Luo really doesn’t know.”
Luo Hong didn't want to lend his inner demon to the Qingxu Sect. After all, this thing was separated from his soul. If he met a monk who was proficient in spells, it might be detrimental to him.
"Haha, it's the poor Taoist Meng Lang, fellow Taoist, don't be surprised."
Wuyouzi laughed and stopped mentioning the matter. It was impossible for him to bow to Patriarch Linghu for the sake of a Danjie elder.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Wuyouzi and I found nothing here.
Since we are destined to meet, why not explore the depths of the mountains together."
Nangong Wan wore a veil and couldn't see her face clearly, so she made a serious suggestion immediately.
"What fellow Taoist Nangong said is exactly what Luo thought. But before we go deeper, please wait for Luo for a moment."
With these two people traveling together, many risks can be reduced, and Luo Hong would certainly not object.
"No problem, fellow Taoist, just make some preparations."
Wuyouzi said indifferently.
Luo Hong smiled slightly and took out various weird things from the treasure bag without explaining.
In past research, Luo Hong deduced that the gray fog outside the territory is the nourishment of the soul.
But the gray fog in the Zhongling Mountains is harmful to the souls of immortal cultivators, which is obviously inconsistent with Luo Hong's research results.
Therefore, he wanted to do some experiments to confirm some things before going deep into the Zhongling Mountains.
