After Liu Ming's figure left the hall, Tian Changbin, who was beside Yin Jiuling, sighed and slowly said:
"This trip to the ruins of the upper realm is extremely rare. It's a pity that Xiaowu entered the evil ghost realm and has not returned yet. Otherwise, if she and Liu Ming join forces, we at Luoyou Peak will definitely be able to make a big splash."
"It's a pity that Xiaowu missed this time, but junior brother, don't worry, with Liu Ming here, we won't return to Luoyou Peak empty-handed this time!" Yin Jiuling said calmly.
Rumors about the ruins of the upper realm quickly spread throughout the Taiqing Sect, and both inner and outer disciples began to talk about it with great interest.
After all, this is a great opportunity that comes only once every 30,000 years. It was beyond the reach of countless disciples in the sect before.
Somehow, the news leaked out that Liu Ming had been selected for this trip to the ruins of the upper world. Not long after he returned to the cave, many disciples came to visit him, which made Liu Ming feel a headache.
.
After politely rejecting several waves of people, he simply closed the cave door and slept beautifully for a whole day and night. Then he woke up in high spirits and started making plans for the upcoming trip to the ruins.
He first went to the fourth floor of the Sutra Pavilion and searched for some relevant information on this matter.
As Yin Jiuling said, the ruins of the upper world are secrets in the Taiqing Sect, and there is not much information he can find. Most of them are just a few words and sentences from the notes left by some predecessors.
In fact, this is not surprising. After all, the last trip to the ruins was 30,000 years ago. Such a large time span is enough for most people to forget about it.
However, from the scattered information, he still understood some of the conditions in the ruins. Compared with the trip to the ruins tens of thousands of years ago, only half of the disciples of the Taiqing Sect were able to return safely, and even one of the leading True Pills
The disciples also fell into it.
This made Liu Ming feel shocked, and he now had a clearer understanding of the dangers of this act.
Then, he went to Zongmenfang Market to dispose of all the evil cultivators he had obtained some time ago, and then purchased some high-level escape magic talismans and other auxiliary items.
Naturally, I also bought a lot of elixirs for healing, detoxifying, and restoring vitality.
In short, he had prepared everything that could be used in the ruins.
While Liu Ming was busy preparing for his upcoming trip to the ruins of the upper realm, the quota for the trip to the ruins within the sect was gradually determined.
The disciples who can be selected are naturally very outstanding elite disciples from each peak in the sect. They are the core and most powerful disciples of each peak, and have also been given various self-defense treasures and elixirs.
After experiencing the initial commotion, the entire Wanling Mountains quickly calmed down again, and everyone was quietly waiting for the passage to the ruins of the upper world to open.
On this day, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged and meditating quietly in the secret room, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the cave.
These days, too many people came to visit, and he was too lazy to pay attention to them and just ignored them.
However, the knock on the door persisted every half a cup of tea.
After a while, the sound finally stopped, and with a buzzing sound, a lavender telegraph instrument flew in.
Liu Ming frowned slightly, stood up suddenly and walked out of the secret room. He grabbed the purple talisman hanging in the air and entered it with his spiritual consciousness.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly walked to the door of the cave and opened the door with a wave of his hand.
Outside the door, two stunning girls in purple clothes stood side by side, their beautiful eyes looking at Liu Ming inside the door. They were the two sisters Ouyang Qian and Ouyang Qin.
"Brother Liu, farewell to the Xuanmeng Mountains. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Ouyang Qian straightened her hair beside her ears and said with a faint smile.
"You two Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry." Liu Ming clasped his fists and said with some amusement.
"Tsk tsk, Brother Liu is indeed known as the number one inner sect disciple of the Taiqing Sect. He is already so arrogant. Our sisters have been knocking on the door for a quarter of an hour. If it weren't for Sister Qian's messenger talisman, Brother Liu
I'm afraid you won't deign to come out to see us." Ouyang Qin on the side raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Qin'er..." Ouyang Qian pulled Ouyang Qin and whispered.
"Sister Qian, I am telling the truth. When he came to Xuanmeng Mountain, we treated him as honored guests with good courtesy.
Our Great Brother Liu, do you think so or not?" Ouyang Qin paid no attention to Ouyang Qian, but turned her eyes to Liu Ming again and asked with a curled lips.
"It's Liu who was negligent, and I would like to ask the two Ouyang girls to forgive me. However, there have been too many idle people coming recently, and I am very annoyed, so I have closed the door of this cave. Please come in and talk, two girls. This humble house is simple and shabby."
"You two, please don't laugh at me." Liu Ming smiled bitterly, turned around and let the two girls into the cave.
"Brother Liu is joking. As a monk, how can I care about these details?" Ouyang Qian walked into the cave with a smile, but after looking around, there was still a look of astonishment in her eyes.
This cave is indeed a very simple residence. Although it is very clean, it is more suitable to describe it as a house with bare walls. The main hall for entertaining guests only has a few ordinary wooden chairs and tea tables.
There is almost no decoration on the walls, except for a few pieces of moonstone inlaid without any structure, bringing a bit of brightness to the hall.
Although many monks do not pursue material comfort, simple caves like the one in front of them are still very rare.
The Ouyang sisters looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. It was hard to imagine that the disciple who was known as the number one disciple of the Taiqing Sect lived in a place like this.
Liu Ming didn't feel anything was wrong. After bringing them a cup of spiritual tea, he sat on the main seat in the living room and said:
"Two people have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Wanling Mountains to find me. To be honest, I am quite surprised."
Ouyang Qian put away her surprise, sat down on two wooden chairs with Ouyang Qin, and chuckled:
"What? Brother Liu doesn't want to see our sisters?"
"Miss Ouyang, what are you talking about? Last time at Xuanmeng Mountain, you two helped me a lot. Although I am not a gentleman, I know that kindness must be repaid." Liu Ming smiled slightly.
"When Brother Liu said this, the little girl felt relieved. To be honest with Brother Liu, our sisters' visit to Taiqing Gate this time was actually for a trip to the ruins of the upper world. Our Ouyang family is not yet able to open the passage to the upper world.
Our two sects have always been on good terms. This time, my family's Creo family sent us two sisters to go into the ruins of the upper world with the disciples of your sect to look for some opportunities." Ouyang Qian put away her smile, glanced at Ouyang Qin next to her, and looked solemn again.
said.
"That's it." Liu Ming nodded calmly, but felt a little surprised in his heart.
Even the Ouyang family, one of the eight great aristocratic families, cannot open the passage to the ruins of the upper world alone. Judging from the information revealed, it is estimated that apart from the four great Taizongs, only the four great Taizongs can truly open the passage alone by relying on the strength of the sect.
Not many forces such as Tianyao Valley and Beidou Pavilion can do it.
As for the good relationship between the two sects mentioned by Ouyang Qian, it is estimated that the Ouyang family should have secretly given considerable benefits to the Taiqing sect, so that the two girls can occupy these two places.
Liu Ming had some thoughts running through his mind, but his face remained calm.
"Our sisters came to visit this time, firstly to say hello to Brother Liu, and also because before leaving, the head of the family wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it to Brother Liu." Ouyang Qian said, taking out a white
envelope.
Liu Wu was startled for a moment, then took the envelope with his middle hand, pulled out the letter paper inside and quickly browsed it, his eyes flickering.
"Have the two Ouyang girls read the contents of the letter?" Liu Ming suddenly asked after reading it.
"The head of the family mentioned it to our sisters before he left. When Brother Liu borrowed Qingmiao's Linglong Wall, he promised one thing to the Ouyang family. Therefore, the head of the family would like to ask Brother Liu to try his best to protect our safety during this trip.
It can be regarded as repaying the previous promise, and there will definitely be rewards afterwards." Ouyang Qin said calmly.
"Since you two know the contents of the letter, it's easy to explain. However, I have a question. Did the head of the Ouyang family know that the ruins of the upper world were about to be opened a few years ago, and when I went to Xuanmeng Mountain, he
Are you already arranging all this?" Liu Ming asked with a hint of contemplation on his face.
"To be honest with Brother Liu, the family leader originally wanted to ask Brother Liu to do another big thing for my Ouyang family. However, due to the sudden opening of the ruins of the upper world, the family temporarily changed their mind." Ouyang Qian also explained.
"I see.
I made a promise at Xuanmeng Mountain that day, so I won't go back on it. Liu will do his best during this trip to the ruins. But if you two get lost and don't walk with Liu, it won't count.
I broke the contract..." Liu Ming nodded when he heard this, and then continued with a serious look on his face:
"This is natural."
Ouyang sisters were happy when they heard this. The two girls also had a little understanding of Liu Ming's character. Since he agreed, he would not do anything against his will.
"In addition, Liu can only promise protection within his ability. If we encounter a danger that even I can deal with, the two fellow Taoists must also be prepared to protect themselves." Liu Ming pondered for a while, and then
added.
"If something like this really happened, we can only blame our sisters for their shallow luck, and we would never dare to blame Brother Liu. However, we sisters are still somewhat confident about how to save our lives." Ouyang Qian said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Liu Wu showed a smile on his face, nodded and said:
"In this case, the matter has been settled. I wonder if you two already have a place to live. Do you need help with the arrangements?"
"Your sect has arranged for our sisters to live in Piaomiao Peak. I heard that Brother Liu's dual cultivation partner is a junior sister named Jialan from Piaomiao Peak. I don't know when you can introduce me to my sisters?" Ouyang Qianmei's eyes were bright.
He flashed slightly and said with a slight smile.
When Liu Ming heard this, he felt naturally embarrassed.
Haha, the plot of the Great Gaochao Chao is about to unfold!
