Looking at her photo on the wall, the woman in red nodded with satisfaction, then walked around the room again before returning to the living room downstairs.
For the rest of the time, Xiao Yu and Qinglong practiced together, watching the plants in the mountains change from green to yellow, and the temperature from cool to freezing.
However, the Qinling Mountains have been extremely lively recently, and many Taoist monks have begun to gather here, including many Taoist monks Xiao Yu knows.
On the side peak of Panlong Mountain, an old man with a withered face sat on a big rock, looking at the mountains in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, and the strong wind blew around him, and he automatically spun away.
"Master, more than 200 Taoists have come to the Qinling Mountains, most of them are at the third or fourth level of cultivation."
It was the Taoist Jia Yun and Xiao Yu who had chatted with them last time. He was still dressed in white and looked spotless, in stark contrast to the surrounding mountains.
"Well, the Qinling Mountains are where our Panlong Mountain Taoist gate is located. We should fulfill our duty as a landowner and tell Yun She, the guardian of the mountain, that if there are Taoists worshiping the mountain, we must not make things difficult and report them quickly.
And those Taoists who came a few months ago, how are they doing now?"
The old man's hands collapsed, and a leaf circled on the ground and flew into his hand. Then the leaf turned into countless pieces in the old man's hands, but then gathered together and turned into a new leaf.
"Those Taoists live in seclusion and rarely move around. Although they have raised ghosts, their strength is not very high. I am afraid that the death of the three junior brothers was not their fault.
And with the methods of those junior brothers, even if they encounter the ghost commander, they can escape unscathed, how could they be killed instantly!
Therefore, I believe that the deaths of several junior brothers should have nothing to do with those people."
The man in white analyzed the old man respectfully.
"A Yin ghost who can kill disciples above Xiaocheng in an instant must have the peak strength of a ghost commander!
Looking at China, the only Yin Gui with such strength is Gui Yinmen!
But we have no contact with them, how could they appear here!
Your uncle used reincarnation to interrogate the murderer, but it was vague and could not be seen clearly, so this matter must not be that simple!"
After the old man finished speaking, his body slowly floated up, and then he stood up directly.
"Those junior brothers of yours acted recklessly, and they might have offended some powerful people and were killed by others.
Just pay attention to this matter, don't make it too public, tell all parties about the mountain gods' land, and perform their duties, and don't focus on this matter.
Please step back first."
The old man stood under a white pine tree with his hands behind his back. He disappeared for a moment, as if he had never appeared before.
"Send it to master..."
The man in white bowed and then walked down the mountain.
Panlong Mountain has nine major peaks, which represent the unity of nine and nine. Each peak has an elder who sits in charge. They usually do not interfere with each other. Only when important matters arise, they will gather on the main peak.
Panlong Peak is the main peak of Panlong Mountain, towering into the clouds. There is a path on it, all paved with bluestone.
The path winds up and reaches into the clouds, like a dragon entrenched, so this peak is called Panlong Peak.
Panlong Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and all kinds of immortal birds and animals come in and out, just like a blessed land of immortals.
On the top of Panlong Peak, there is a large hanging rock. This large rock has many names.
Some call it Dao Stone, some call it Panlong Stone, and some call it Nuwa Stone.
The name is different, but the function is the same, that is, before the Tao door is opened, a Tao seal must be left here, otherwise it will not be recognized by heaven and earth.
Therefore, although Panlong Mountain is unknown to the world, it is aloof because of this stone.
At the top of Panlong Peak, there were seven old men sitting. They were dressed differently, both men and women.
"Now the third elder and the fourth elder are in retreat. Let's just talk about it briefly.
First, the Ghost Tower, which has been around for a hundred years, is about to come out. This is a good place for my Panlong Mountain disciples to gain experience. Each mountain sect needs to send disciples to participate.
Second, there are rumors that Western Taoism is about to move, so everyone needs to pay attention.
Third, I heard that the place where Maoshan was built is the cemetery of the great witch from Miao territory. There is something else going on there, and we need to send people to investigate it in depth.
Fourthly, does anyone know anything about the murder of one of my disciples a few months ago?"
An old man sitting in the upper seat looked at the people below and asked in a deep voice.
As the mountain gate in charge of the world's destiny, it is natural to have a clear understanding of the Xuanmen forces in the world. Maoshan's every move is under their surveillance.
"We are all practicing in retreat. We only heard a few words from our disciples about these things, so we don't understand them very well."
"Maoshan is also a famous family, and Xiao Yu's reputation has spread far and wide when he captured the trapped city in Yinsi and fought against Wucheng. If we continue to block it now, I'm afraid it will be unpopular, right?"
"Hmph, Xiao Yu deserves to die for his crime. He killed my disciples and didn't take Panlong Mountain seriously at all. If I see him, I will definitely extract his menstruation and peel off his skin."
Several elders had their own opinions, and they started to quarrel as soon as they started discussing, which gave the head of Panlong Mountain a headache.
"Okay, you are hundreds of years old, and discussing things is like quarreling. How is that appropriate?"
Seeing the elders below starting to argue, the leader immediately shouted loudly!
"Xiao Yu's grandfather, Xiao Shi, wanted to clear Maoshan's name, but was injured by us and driven down the mountain. This has already created a grudge.
It's impossible to turn around, so I have to think of other ways!
With Xiao Yu's temper, he will definitely not let go of what happened back then, so he needs to make a judgment early.
Fifth Elder, the matter of investigating Xiao Yu’s intelligence will be left to you. Seventh Elder will go and re-explore the founding land of Maoshan, and there will be no excuses."
The leader used his power to forcefully assign tasks to several elders.
"Master, I think we should focus on Western Xuanmen now. Maoshan is also the gate of China. If we deal with them at this juncture, will we be laughed at by the Taoists?"
An old man cupped his fists and suggested.
"Yes, we have been in charge of Nuwa Stone for countless years. At this time..."
"Fifth Elder, you are standing and talking without hurting your back. Xiao Yu didn't kill your disciples. Of course you said so.
If Maoshan is allowed to open now, other mountain gates will follow suit, and the energy of heaven and earth will be disordered. Can you take this responsibility?"
Before the fifth elder finished speaking, he was objected by one elder, and several other elders also nodded.
"Yes, the luck of heaven and earth is scarce now. If we go out in parts, I'm afraid that within a hundred years, we will all turn into a pile of loess.
If we don't take advantage of Xiao Yu's fledgling life and the few disciples to strangle him now, when his strength is equal to ours, Panlong Mountain's authority will be challenged, and by then it will be too late to regret."
"Hmph, you think you can successfully become immortal by suppressing other sects, don't you? It's really a fool's errand.
I don’t want to get involved in this matter, so I’d better hire someone else to do it. I’ll take my leave.”
The fifth elder suddenly stood up, with an angry look on his face, then threw up his sleeves and left without saluting the leader.
"You, stubborn old man, do you want to rebel?"
One of the gray-haired old men made a sharp voice and stood up at the same time, as if ready to rush out.
