Sweeping dust was not at his residence, but went to the depths of Qingli Continent. Liu Qinghuan was worried that he had no time to think about his words. Hearing this, he stopped the guard who was about to send the messenger, and he slowly searched all the way.
From a distance, I saw Su Chen standing among the branches and leaves of the fairy root banyan tree. The person next to him was Jing Yan, and the two of them were talking in a low voice.
"Senior!" Liu Qinghuan called out. The two people stopped talking and looked back, and then he leaned over.
Sweeping dust said: "How many days have you been away and are you just coming back?"
"Yes." Liu Qinghuan flew down to a nearby branch and said with a very eager expression: "Senior, I have found the reason why the immortal root banyan spirit energy is lost, it is..."
However, just as he was about to speak, he heard a piercing sound coming from behind, and a black light quickly approached this side. When it landed, it was an old man with black hair, long beard, and a red face.
"I'm late!" The old man took a few big steps and walked closer. His eyes passed over Liu Qinghuan intentionally or unintentionally, and then nodded to Suchen: "I heard the people below came to report that someone was targeting Xian Genrong.
An important discovery has been made about the mystery of the blight, but I have to tell you first before I can tell you anything, so hurry up and come over to hear about it."
He turned slightly sideways, looked at Liu Qinghuan and said, "Is that you?"
Both Sauchen and Jingyan looked surprised. Sauchen didn't bother to pay attention to the vague and vague bitterness in Wu Jin's words, and quickly asked Liu Qinghuan: "What did you find?"
Liu Qinghuan replied: "Senior, didn't I say that I wanted to explore inside the root system of the Immortal Root Banyan Tree? In the past few days, I have been playing around inside the roots of the tree, looking for the trace of fairy spirit contained in it. Today...
…”
He briefly explained the discovery of the golden horn beetle. Although the existence of Wanmu Ping could not be exposed, the traces of hands inside the tree roots could not be concealed. Wu Jin rushed over in a hurry, which showed that the Qingli Army
There have been many discoveries along the way.
Of course, we cannot tell the true situation, so we can only tell half-truths and falsehoods.
"I was really surprised when I discovered that it was a golden-horned beetle. Before I could get close to it, the other party also noticed me and rushed over in a fierce manner. Seeing this, I could only run back all the way. After a thrilling adventure, I finally
I fled under the wall of the realm and alerted the Taoist friends of the Qingli Army. The silverfish was probably frightened and gave up chasing me."
"Golden-horned fairy beetle?" Sweeping the dust was very surprised. He stretched out his hand to climb a branch and pulled it closer to take a closer look. He said, "It turned out to be the golden-horned fairy beetle! So that's it, that's it. I understand!"
He glanced at Liu Qinghuan approvingly: "You are also lucky. It is said that the golden horned beetle is very timid, so it will be frightened and run away, otherwise your life will be lost."
Then he turned to look at Jingyan and Wujin on the other side, and said, "What do you two fellow Taoists think?"
Jing Yan suddenly said: "This does explain why the fairy root banyan tree withers slowly, well... I remember that this kind of fairy insect called the golden horned fairy beetle has no other abilities, but it is addicted to eating wood gas, which is harmful to spiritual flowers and spiritual trees.
great."
Sweeping dust said: "That's right, there is an anecdote recorded in "The Travels of Immortals", saying that there was a rift between two immortals. One of them was resentful and found a few golden-horned fairy beetles and secretly put them into the other's soul.
In the garden, most of the fairy trees and fairy fruits that the other party had worked hard to plant for many years died, and a small grudge finally turned into a deep hatred."
He looked solemn and said: "This is troublesome. It is said that the golden-horned fairy beetle is extremely cunning and difficult to catch when hiding in the tree. The root system of the fairy root banyan tree is so huge. It escaped this time. Let's think about it again.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to find his traces..."
Su Chen's brows were furrowed, and Jing Yan next to him also had a thoughtful look on his face, obviously thinking about how to catch the golden-horned beetle.
Liu Qinghuan looked at his eyes, nose and heart, but he could not say that the golden-horned fairy beetle was gone, because according to common sense, with his cultivation level, it was impossible to kill the golden-horned fairy beetle.
"I said, do you two just believe this junior's words?" At this time, Na Wujin spoke, looked Liu Qinghuan up and down, and said: "You said you discovered the golden-horned beetle?"
Liu Qinghuan glanced at him, bowed slightly and said, "Reporting to senior, yes."
"How are you sure that it is the golden-horned fairy beetle?" Wu Jin said: "This kind of spiritual insect in the fairy world is born from the breath of the fairy spirit. It does not exist in the mortal world. Anyway, I have never seen it, so you
How can you be sure that you are not wrong?"
Liu Qinghuan did not expect that the other party would question this, and said in surprise: "Senior, although I am not talented, I have read many classics. Although there are not many classics that record the spiritual objects of the immortal world, they are not particularly rare."
He looked at Jing Yan and Suo Chen next to him, and then said: "What's more, the tentacles of the golden-horned fairy beetle are shaped like dragon horns, which is unique among spiritual insects. It is very easy to recognize, so the younger generation will not mistake it.
.”
Jingyan raised her head and said calmly: "Wu Jin, what exactly do you want to ask? Don't talk about things that are there or not."
"It's nothing, I just didn't understand something." Wu Jin showed a kind smile and said: "You said you discovered the golden horn beetle, and the other party chased you for a long time?"
"yes."
"Then I don't understand." The smile on Wu Jin's face became even brighter, but there was a cold suspicion in his eyes: "Although the golden-horned fairy beetle is not good at attacking, it is still one of the fairy insects after all.
Zhong, I think you are still Mu Xiu, and I have also read "The Travels of the Immortal"."
He tilted his head toward the sweeper and continued: "In that anecdote, I remember that a wood cultivator went to inspect the cemetery, and then he was accidentally burrowed into the body by silverfish. As a result, all the blood and flesh were eaten away.
.So, how did you, a junior wood cultivator, escape unscathed after encountering the golden-horned fairy beetle?"
There was sudden silence in the room.
Jing Yan still had no expression, but Su Chen looked over with some amusement.
Liu Qinghuan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Reporting to my senior, this junior once traveled in the Nine Heavens of Qingming for a while, and was fortunate enough to be admitted to the Banshan Academy in Sangu Mountain..."
At this point, Wu Jin's face changed slightly and he lost his voice: "Are you from Banshan Academy?!"
Liu Qinghuan paused and continued: "Yes, I joined Banshan Academy many years ago, and Master Chunli in the academy once gave me a protective spirit pendant, which can barely resist one or two, so I was able to escape all the way.
Return to the Realm Wall."
If you look closely at this explanation, it seems a bit forced. However, except for Jing Yan, the other two people opposite him have already attracted their attention because he is from Banshan Academy.
A trace of fear flashed in Wu Jin's eyes, and he stared at Liu Qinghuan for several times and said nothing.
Sweeping dust looked at him meaningfully and said: "My little friend is quite capable. He can actually enter the Mid-Levels Academy. Speaking of which, I don't even have the chance to go up to Sangushan, and I can only look up to the Mid-Levels Academy."
Liu Qinghuan smiled humbly and said: "This junior's luck suddenly improved, and I was lucky enough to be favored by Master Chunli..."
His heart was slightly relaxed. It seemed that this level had been fooled, but he couldn't help but secretly smile. He didn't expect that one day he would use the name of Banshan Academy to bluff people.
The nature of Mid-Levels Academy is somewhat shady. Except for those who do not understand the truth, they will feel it is an honor to enter Mid-Levels Academy. Those who truly know the inside story will only be more wary and wary of the people in the academy.
Even though the academy is only dealing with Jiuyou's intelligence collection and other matters, this kind of dark force has always been unpopular. After all, no one wants to have someone around you who may be observing you at any time. This person's purpose is difficult to clarify, and you don't know where it is.
What shouldn’t be said and what shouldn’t be done.
If Liu Qinghuan really couldn't think of any way, he would never expose the identity of the people in his academy, but only Banshan Academy, which is mysterious and untouchable to outsiders, can cover up some things that he can't explain.
Go down.
Sweeping the dust only mentioned a few words, and soon brought the topic back to how to search for the golden horned beetle. After some discussion, Jingyan proposed to enter the root system of the banyan tree in person.
"I'll go." She said, "Sweeping dust, you are a wood cultivator, so it's not appropriate to go to the Golden Horned Immortal Beetle. Fellow Taoist Wujin has to take care of the affairs of the Qingli Army, so I'm the only one who has the most time to spare."
Sweeping dust sighed: "That's all it can do."
Seeing this, Liu Qinghuan proposed to go back and take a rest.
Suichen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead. You've worked hard these past few days. You won't be able to help me with the search for the golden-horned beetle in the future, so it doesn't hurt to rest for a few more days."
Wu Jin snorted intentionally or unintentionally at this moment, Liu Qinghuan just pretended not to hear, saluted the three of them, and left.
When he returned to his residence, he activated the magic circle first, entered the Songxi Cave Sky Map, and took out the Wanmu Zhengrong Nectar Bottle.
In the past, after swallowing something, a mark like a willow leaf would appear on the Wanmu bottle. However, this time, the mark turned into...
Liu Qinghuan raised the wooden bottle to his eyes and asked doubtfully: "Water drops?"
