Seven days later, in a teahouse at Puyang Ferry by the Taiping River, seven weirdos were sitting around a long table, either drinking tea in silence or closing their eyes to meditate. It was so quiet that it made people feel
Depressed.
Among these seven people were young men and women dressed as literati, Buddhists and Taoists, and even more like the wanderers.
If it weren't for the illusion, these seven people would have attracted the attention of the endless stream of passers-by outside just sitting at the same table.
From sunrise to sunset, the seven of them sat there, watching the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Finally, a man and a woman emerged from the illusion.
"I'm really sorry, my brother and sister have kept you waiting for so long!"
As soon as Ye Chong appeared, he bowed his hands to the seven people and apologized.
Luo Hong raised his eyes and recognized that this person was really a monk from the Ye family who had been taught a lesson by him, and a member of the Jin royal family.
The elegant young woman next to him should be Ye Jue whom Dong Lijun mentioned, and she is Ye Chong's biological sister.
"Brother Ye, don't blame yourself. We agreed within seven days. It's just dark, so Brother Ye's arrival is not too late."
Yi Xitian smiled slightly, motioned for Ye Chong and his sister to sit next to him and said.
Ye Chong nodded in response, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he looked at Luo Hong who had just put down his tea cup and said:
"Brother Luo, Ye's nephew collided with his beloved disciple earlier. It was really because of my lax discipline.
After that day, Ye Mou has ordered him to stay away from home and think about his mistakes, and I hope Brother Ye can ignore the past grudges."
"Since Luo has been punished, he will not retaliate again. Brother Ye, don't worry."
Luo Hong replied calmly that he had reached a deal with Ye Zheng, and he would not embarrass the other party before they made any small moves, but he would definitely keep an eye on it.
"It's so good. The Tenth Prince and Donor Luo have never known each other before. Now it's even more fate that they can hunt for treasure together."
An old monk wearing a purple-gold cassock sitting next to the white-browed monk put his hands together and said in a deep voice.
This old monk is none other than Zen Master Biyue, a great supernatural being as famous as Yi Xitian.
"Now that everyone is here, Brother Ye, let's take out the river map and see where the Taiping Water Mansion will be born. We can make plans in advance."
The old man surnamed He, who was dressed as a charlatan, was obviously impatient. He urged Ye Chong and his sister before they could sit down.
Luo Hong and Dong Lijun came here three days ago and already have some understanding of the situation in Taiping Water Mansion.
This treasure hunt was different from what he first guessed. It was hosted by the Jin Dynasty royal family. The information about the Water Palace was informed by the Ye family, including the opening time and method of the Water Palace.
Taipingshui Mansion, as the cave of the ancient cultivator of the gods, is usually hidden in the void like the Xutian Temple, and only appears at specific times.
And because the Taiping Water Mansion is connected to the water veins of the Taiping River and flows erratically in the void, its location is different every time.
Only the river map in the hands of the Ye family brothers and sisters can monitor the changes in the spiritual energy of the entire Taiping River and obtain the accurate location.
"To be honest, I noticed something strange in the Taiping River map on the way. I think it is the trace of the Taiping Water Mansion, but"
After sitting down, Ye Jue took out a roll of yellowed animal skin from his storage bag, frowning slightly and saying worriedly.
"Just what? Did the trip to Shuifu change anything?"
The old man surnamed He leaned forward slightly and asked nervously.
"It is a bit troublesome, but it will not affect this trip. You will know it at a glance."
Ye Jue didn't show off, and immediately threw the animal skin out and spread it out in front of everyone.
On top of the animal skin, a river like an ink painting was meandering. The scenery on both sides was clearly visible, and the light representing the spiritual veins was covered under the ink.
And it was at one point of this light that a small point bulged out, as if the water energy of the entire river was converging towards it.
Of course, this is only obvious on the river map. If it were put into reality, this level of change in aura would not attract anyone's attention.
As for the trouble Ye Jue mentioned, everyone understood it at once when they saw the scene on both sides of the abnormal light spots.
"What the hell, why did you end up on Che Laoyao's territory!"
The old man surnamed He secretly said it was bad luck, with a sad look on his face.
Not just him, the expressions of everyone in the teahouse changed at this time, and they felt that things were not going well.
"Good guy, it can't be that my halo of doom has started to work again, right?"
At this time, Luo Hong couldn't help but curse in his heart. The Taiping River as a whole was thousands of miles long, and its junction with the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was only a hundred miles away. As a result, the Taiping Water Mansion had to be born there. Everyone's luck was quite bad.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, what is so special about the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons that makes you three late-stage cultivators so fearful?"
Fairy Yin was very concerned about the origin of the true spirit. She had been extremely active since the day Luo Hong set out, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"This Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is the place where demon cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty gather. It is full of poisonous miasma and the terrain is dangerous. I don't know how many transformed demon cultivators are hidden there.
The most important thing is that the owner of the valley is a great demon who has transformed into a god. He has suppressed the Jin Dynasty for more than ten thousand years and extremely excludes monks from entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Once we sneak in and are discovered, we will definitely make him unhappy, and I'm afraid we will have to give up the water house!"
Luo Hong Chuanyin explained.
"That is really difficult to deal with. The innate magical power of the great demon is very terrifying. Fellow Daoist Luo must pay more attention to it!"
Silver Fairy knew that she couldn't help, so she could only give a reminder.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Yi has heard some news, which may reassure you."
Yi Xitian suddenly chuckled and said confidently.
"Donor Yi also knows about that? It seems most likely true."
Zen Master Biyue nodded slightly and said with some surprise.
"Hey, fellow Taoists, please stop playing riddles. What is going on?"
The old man surnamed He was impatient and couldn't help but asked with some unhappiness.
"Actually, what all fellow Taoists are worried about is the old demon Che, but Yi heard that the old demon Che had sealed his true body a long time ago in order to prevent the loss of essence and extend his lifespan."
Yi Xitian said bluntly.
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zen Master Biyue. When they saw the old monk nodding in response, they couldn't help but believe it.
"Although my brother and sister have never heard of this news, they also know that the person who has been in contact with my Ye family in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley in recent years has always been the Ten Thousand Years Corpse Bear.
As for Che Laoyao, it’s true that he hasn’t shown his face for a long time.”
Ye Chong's words verified the authenticity of Yi Xitian's news from the side, which immediately made everyone feel at ease.
Although the Ten Thousand Years Corpse Bear is the deputy valley master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley and has the cultivation level of a tenth-level demon beast, equivalent to a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, the team in the teahouse can definitely handle it easily.
"Despite this, we shouldn't make too much of a fuss. I think it's better to sneak in as much as possible without disturbing the demon cultivators in the valley."
After Dong Lijun breathed a sigh of relief, he suggested seriously.
"Yes, Luo thinks that breaking it into parts is a good idea."
When it comes to the origin of the true spirit, Luo Hong doesn't want to have any surprises.
