Li Ping'an entered the thin and lubricated mountain guarding formation. Looking at the familiar peak forest, Taoist heart exuded a sense of satisfaction from the inside out.
Because Immortal Xu is too senior, Wanyun Sect’s hospitality standards cannot be lowered.
The leader had already taken several elders to wait above the main peak in advance. Li Dazhi, who had been living in Zhuyuntang, also changed into a green widened Taoist robe and followed the leader on his right hand.
Seeing Li Pingan, Li Dazhi immediately raised his eyebrows.
The father and son looked at each other, Li Pingan laughed sarcastically, and while the leader was chatting with senior Xu Sheng, he sneaked back to the cave.
As for how to reward his merits later, and how to reward him within the family, his father will help him agree.
In Li Ping'an's view, this is probably the benefit of father and son sharing the same family.
Mu Ningning also wanted to escape with his senior brother, but was called by the elders from the outer sect to go to the Fanshi Hall to receive the reward; Li Ping'an stepped on the scabbard and returned to Weiming Peak alone.
As soon as he rounded the two peaks, he heard a familiar call:
"Peace, peace!"
"deacon?"
Li Ping'an felt slightly happy and turned to look not far behind him.
Wei Yanzi leaned out half of his body in the forest at the top of a mountain like a thief and kept waving to Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an was a little dumbfounded, stepping on the scabbard and walking into the forest.
"Deacon, isn't this our own mountain gate? Why are you still hiding like this?"
"oops!"
Wei Yanzi, who looks younger than two years ago, is also full of bitterness at this moment:
“Your cloud boat flew too fast, and I chased it all the way behind! I didn’t catch up until we reached the mountain gate!
"I am now ordered to patrol Donghaifang Town. I cannot come back at will without being summoned from the door. If I am seen by Elder Yan Sheng, he will reprimand me again."
Li Ping'an sighed: "Elder Yan Sheng is currently in the East China Sea. He seems to be about to break through to the heavenly realm."
"really?"
Wei Yanzi's expression changed continuously. First he felt energetic, then he hesitated a little, and then stared at Li Ping'an's face:
"You ordered it?"
"It really has nothing to do with me!"
Li Pingan raised his head and sighed:
"It's really not because of what I said, but because of what you heard.
"It's okay now. When Elder Yan Sheng comes back, I will really make a human-shaped Enlightenment Stone. Maybe many seniors who are stuck in the door will come to me to discuss Taoism. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wei Yanzi smiled wildly.
Li Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wei Yanzi up and down, and wondered: "Deacon, it's been two years, how come you haven't broken through even a small realm?"
The laughter of a certain ninth-level Yuanxian suddenly stopped, and he said depressedly: "Do you have a misunderstanding about the cultivation of immortals? Do you think anyone can make a breakthrough like Master Dazhi, just by calculating the accounts? I don't think so.
I feel like he is the reincarnation of an ancient great power, and his immortal power increases by himself every moment!"
Li Ping'an smiled lightly and invited Wei Yanzi to sit in his cave.
However, Wei Yanzi shook his head repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Elder Xiao asked me to give you something, so he went back quickly. Staying at the mountain gate for too long is also dereliction of duty."
He took out a square brocade box from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into Li Pingan's arms. Without waiting for Li Pingan to say anything, he waved his hand and ran away.
In the past two years, Wei Yanzi's escape skills are still at the same level as when he escaped thousands of miles away, and have not improved at all.
These gifts from Elder Xiao...
Li Ping'an opened the brocade box and took a look. There were nine storage rings classified into categories.
The first ring contains several medium-grade spiritual stones.
——The middle-grade spiritual stone of the same volume contains about twice as much spiritual energy as the low-grade spiritual stone, and contains a little bit of 'spiritual core'. The value of the same volume is five times that of the low-grade spiritual stone, and the exchange between the two is 1:4.
One to six.
The second and third storage rings contained various types of weapon refining materials, some of which were often exchanged by Li Dazhi at Yangyun Palace.
This elder Xiao is really thoughtful.
Inside the fourth ring are several jade slips, which are rare collections of knowledge books on the market in Dongzhou.
The fifth ring and the sixth ring are various types of Chinese robes used by men and women respectively. Men's robes are mostly more traditional in style, while women's fairy skirts come in all kinds, ranging from a red gauze 'fake' long skirt.
, to simple and elegant long skirts that can be tightly wrapped from head to toe, and there are even many gauze skirts that in Li Pingan's opinion can be named "interesting".
‘Is there so much fun in Dongzhoufang Town?’
Li Ping'an laughed dumbly, and looked at the last three storage rings, and found a bunch of medicinal materials, a bunch of precious poisons, and a jade talisman with [Five Smoke Light Luo Mi] written on it.
Holding the jade talisman in his hand, Li Ping'an stepped on the scabbard and floated towards his cave, carefully exploring the jade talisman with his spiritual sense.
"High-level smoke escape?"
Li Ping'an's eyes lit up, and then he sighed secretly in his heart.
This preference of his was really discovered by Elder Xiao.
Forget it, when you continue to blow the wind in your old father's ear later and ask him to renew the string, you should give more thought to Aunt Xiao.
The total value of these things given by his Aunt Xiao is quite high, which also shows that Xiao Yue, the 'dealer', has made a lot of money in the past two years, and the proportion she takes away is acceptable to the family.
"Is this what Xiao Yue means?"
"If it wasn't to show favor to my father, why would she study my preferences like this?"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ping'an already had a plan.
Later, I painted three paintings for Senior Xiao Yue and hung them in a conspicuous place in my father's office.
My cave is right in front of me.
A beautiful figure stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, looking towards Li Ping'an. Who else could he be if he wasn't Qing Su?
Qing Su is wearing an ice blue dress, with a tall and slender figure, and her black hair hanging down like a waterfall. Her beautiful face is beautiful and charming without any makeup. Her long eyelashes and small nose add a little bit of embellishment to her.
A sense of playfulness.
There is an immortal who was born in the Northern Kingdom, left behind and became independent.
Li Ping'an jumped in front of the cave door and bowed to his master: "Master!"
Qing Su nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back, and once again raised her master's dignity.
She asked softly: "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
"Yes," Li Ping'an said, "disciples discuss the Tao of emptiness with others, and they have enlightenment in their hearts, and they have made some progress in cultivating their Tao mind."
"Can you contribute to the door?"
Li Ping'an said: "With the sincere cooperation of the disciple and the priest sister, as well as Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu, as well as the great help of a Guanhai sect disciple, we won the first place in the six sect training conference!"
Qingsu blinked: "Didn't I hear your uncle Qingxu say that Guanhaimen wants to cause trouble for you... They are quite nice people."
"It's really good. There are still many good people in the world."
Li Ping'an's soul grinned, wondering what Bu Linhai's situation was now.
It stands to reason that at the previous celebration banquet, Bu Linhai could not come, and the four of them could not use chopsticks.
"The disciple also encountered the remnant soul of the great demon," Li Pingan said with a smile, "Have you been craving for something to eat these past two days? The disciple caught some seafood from the sea."
Qingsu pursed her lips: "I made hot pot, just like you made last time."
She turned sideways, revealing the copper pot that was exuding clouds of mist in the cave, as well as thin slices of meat on the side that seemed to have been cut with an immortal ice sword.
Li Ping'an moved his index finger: "Master! Disciple, can you ask my father to come over and have dinner with me? I have something I want to talk to my father about."
"But, wait until I finish eating before calling him. I feel a little uncomfortable with him here."
Qing Su turned around calmly, and after Li Ping'an entered, she activated the cave formation.
at the same time.
The thin old man, who didn't know how to enter the Wanyun Sect's mountain-protecting formation, stared down at the cave for a while, shook his head with a smile, turned around and drifted away to the direction of Zhuyun Hall.
"It turned out to be master and apprentice. I thought it was a human couple."
Yun Zhongzi was in a pretty good mood.
Humming fairy music and lifting the flower basket, Yun Zhongzi's figure was like a wisp of breeze, passing through the Ziyun Hall and stopping in front of an 'assembly line'.
…
On the coast of the East China Sea, inside Guanhai Gate.
In a dark dungeon, the stone walls are hung with curtains depicting complicated talismans.
Bu Linhai was wearing a bright white bra and sat quietly in the middle of the dungeon.
He was trying hard to meditate with his eyes closed, but his Taoist mind could never be at peace.
The master's sigh kept echoing in Bu Linhai's heart:
"Lin Hai, please take care of yourself in the future.
"There are several elders who are extremely dissatisfied with you this time. First, you helped the disciple of Wan Yun Sect achieve success and ruined the arrangement that the sect spent so much effort on. Second, you were actually allowed to have miasma enter your body, and were also attacked by Wan Yun.
Rescued by disciples of the sect.
"You know the rules inside the door.
"Now I'm just punishing you with ten years in the dungeon and one hundred years of confinement. I haven't deprived you of your monthly payment and training. This is the limit that I can do for you.
"Practice well and don't think about anything else. If there is a loophole in your mind, you should repair it. Only then can you truly embark on the road to becoming an immortal.
"well--"
It was obvious that he had disappointed his master.
Bu Linhai's lips trembled slightly, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and was quickly evaporated by him.
He couldn't help but think back to how he was invaded by the miasma, and how...
"Yo?"
Bu Linhai was startled for a moment.
This rough and powerful voice always seemed to him familiar.
Bu Linhai opened his eyes and looked left and right. The entire dungeon was wrapped in talismans. There were several formations on the periphery, but there was not a single figure anywhere.
"There is no need to look for me. I am in your heart. Your soul will look back."
Bu Linhai frowned tightly, his face turned pale, he immediately closed his eyes and performed a magic formula, sealing his Tao body, and his consciousness sank.
At the spiritual platform, Bu Linhai Yuanhun turned around, only to see... a group of shadows slowly fluttering behind him, and a huge stone seat gradually emerged from the shadows.
The majestic body of three feet tall, the massive muscles exposed wantonly outside the body, as well as the dark bull nose, delicate nose ring, and shiny horns.
demon!
Bu Linhai Yuanhun immediately wanted to mobilize his magic power, but before he could make any move, an invisible big hand pressed down on Bu Linhai Yuanhun's neck.
A blood-red word "death" was branded on the forehead of Bu Linhai's soul. The soul fell on the ground of the spiritual platform, curled up into a ball, and twitched all over.
This bull demon is the king of Kuangshan Mountain, Bull Ben Ben!
The Kuangshan King sat calmly on the stone chair and waited quietly.
The word "death" is actually an ancient secret method, specifically used to recruit puppets for human Qi practitioners who have problems with their Taoist minds.
Soon, Bu Linhai's soul stopped trembling, looked at the Bull Demon with empty eyes, and slowly lowered his head and knelt before the Bull Demon.
"Big, big king."
"Um."
The Kuangshan King nodded slowly:
"Don't worry, even the immortals can't see the flaws in this secret method.
"From now on, you will practice at Guanhaimen, and I will be of great use to you in the future.
"Let me ask you, who are the sword cultivators you wanted to target that day and the male cultivator who looked ordinary but was actually extremely cunning and evil?"
"Your Majesty, that is a disciple of Wanyun Sect."
…
Within Wanyun Sect.
A jade talisman flew from Weiming Peak to the Immortal Banquet on the main peak.
Not long after, Li Dazhi made an excuse to go to Zhuyuntang to keep an eye on him, and left senior Xu Sheng to the head to deal with it, while he rushed to his son's residence in the clouds.
Li Dazhi is smiling like a child.
Without him, Li Ping'an gave him another tough look and won a lot of praise.
The six sects have experienced and come out on top, and the veteran monks are amazed by their discussions on Taoism.
Li Dazhi was not too optimistic because of this. After all, he heard from the elders of the inner sect that the strength of the Guanhai sect was still higher than that of the Wanyun sect.
Although in the eyes of immortals like Wan Yunzong, Li Dazhi is not too old;
But in Li Dazhi's eyes, these immortals would not have much "social experience" if they deprived themselves of the time for retreat, meditation and enlightenment.
People's hearts are sinister and must be guarded against.
If Guanhai Sect wants to target Wan Yun Sect next, there are many ways, such as contacting evil cultivators and demon cultivators to deliberately harass Wan Yun Sect's mountain gate. Even if they don't harass the mountain gate, targeting Wan Yun Sect's shops will make Wan Yun Sect very uncomfortable.
.
Li Dazhi understands business warfare very well.
When laymen look at business wars, they may just mean a group of so-called senior white-collar workers sitting in an office, making a few phone calls, and having the overall situation under control.
Real business wars often only require the simplest methods.
Accompany customers to eat, drink and have fun, drive a bus to intercept competitors' customers, write short essays to secretly smear and report opponents to attract various inspections, poach the other party's senior talents and let these talents plant landmines before leaving their posts... and so on.
Li Dazhi smiled with squinted eyes, but there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
It's best to stay calm at Guanhaimen and not disturb the practice of father and son.
Otherwise... there is nothing we can do.
His personal strength does not allow him to scheme against a sect by himself. The only person he can rely on is actually his master Kong Ming Patriarch.
After turning two hills, Weiming Peak is already in sight.
Li Pingan was waiting in front of the cave and waved gently to Li Dazhi.
After a while, the father and son returned to the cave one after another, started the formation, and started making hot pot.
Qingsu has gone to the inner cave to practice.
"Hey," Li Dazhi said with a smile, "the food is good!"
"Master has already used it. No one has touched this bowl of chopsticks, and the bottom of the pot is also new," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Dad, come and try it. Today, the meat was cut by Master using immortal skills. The taste is very different."
"Hmm... um! Not bad!"
Li Dazhi took a sip of the fruit wine and raised his eyebrows at Li Pingan. He was about to say something about "putting on airs", but seeing Li Pingan's serious expression, he stopped smiling.
Li Dazhi asked: "What's wrong?"
"Oh," Li Ping'an said in a low voice, "Dad, if there is any mission that requires you to go out of the mountain in the future, just help me turn it down. You are so energetic that you always encounter various problems when you go out."
"oh?"
Li Dazhi frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No," Li Ping'an shook his head, "I don't use any trump cards other than the Spiritual Explosion Technique. Dad, just don't worry. I cherish my life very much. There are a few things...Have Dad ever heard of Yun Zhongzi?"
Li Dazhi blinked: "Ah? Yun Zhongzi, Yunzhong Immortal, the Golden Immortal of Fortune who teaches Yuxu Palace?"
"The weapon refining method of Senior Xu Sheng and the entire human race was taught by this great master in ancient times."
Li Pingan said in a deep voice:
"Dad, this is the first time I have personally heard of the existence of the Immortal of the Chan Cult."
"Huh?" Li Dazhi wondered, "This is not a seal..."
Li Ping'an made a silent gesture, took out a slate and a carving knife from his sleeve, and carved lines on it...
Chinese Pinyin.
Li Dazhi took two bites of the shabu-shabu and read the Chinese pinyin in his heart.
What Li Ping'an said was: "Dad, don't say the word "Feng Shen", and don't say anything related to it directly with your mouth! Otherwise, it may cause endless cause and effect! This world is a bit weird."
Li Dazhi blinked: "What's weird?"
Li Ping'an thought for a while and began to sketch.
At this moment, both of them were unaware, it was in the clouds and mist above their heads.
The thin old man frowned tightly, staring at the characters drawn by Li Ping'an, and kept calculating with his fingers, but he couldn't find any reason at all.
