The moment he saw the old man, Li Yan was a little startled.
The old man was teasing a parrot in a cage hanging on the eaves of the small pavilion. The breath of the parrot was that of an uncivilized beast, not a rare spiritual beast.
The old man is dressed in a gray robe, his figure is slightly stooped, and his hair is also gray, but the hair color is bright and shiny, giving people a feeling of full vitality and blood.
At this moment, he was holding a wooden twig with some food on one end, and kept teasing the parrot.
When Li Yan and the young man in red clothes just stepped into the cave, the parrot suddenly spoke human words.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming..."
The old man in gray robe turned his head slightly and showed a smile, but the movement of teasing the bird in his hand remained unchanged.
"Little friend Zhang is here. The old man is not far away to greet you. You can just come over on your own."
He gave Li Yan the feeling that he was an octogenarian in the family, living a leisurely life in his twilight years.
"My benefactor, if you have anything to do, just talk to the ancestor directly. The ancestor is still very nice to others. I'll wait outside!"
After saying that, the young man in red clothes cupped his hands in front of Li Yan, then saluted the old man in gray robes from afar, then turned around and walked out.
Li Yan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the young man in red clothes to leave so simply.
I don't know if the other party feels that he is not good at words and would not be as good as Li Yan himself, or if he feels that he needs to avoid suspicion.
But that’s fine, the fewer people know about what I say, the better.
He then followed the stone path, passed through several medicinal fields and bypassed a large fish pond, and finally arrived in front of the small pavilion. He did not dare to fly freely here.
"Haha, I just heard my little friend's name a few days ago. It's really unexpected that I can meet my little friend today."
"Junior Zhang Ming pays homage to Senior Meng!"
Li Yan stood outside the pavilion and bowed.
"Come in, don't be restrained."
The old man in gray robe put down the stick in his hand and patted the non-existent soil with his hands, just like an old farmer who had just finished farm work in the field.
When he immediately waved for Li Yan to come in, he first sat down on the long stone bench in the pavilion.
After Li Yan hesitated for a moment, he walked into the small pavilion. According to his original intention, he did not want to be so close to an unfathomable strong man.
But in fact, he also knows that even if he is thousands of miles away from the other party, if someone wants to take his life, they can easily kill him.
But people are like this. When facing a strong person, they will unconsciously want to distance themselves, at least to feel a sense of security in their hearts.
The gray-robed old man's face was rosy, which was different from what Li Yan had guessed.
The "Dark Spirit Monster Bats" he had seen before, as long as they could take the form of humans, had bluish or dark skin, giving people the impression of being gloomy and difficult to get along with.
But the old man in gray robe has a kind face and kind eyes, and looks no different from the human race.
Watching Li Yan step into the small pavilion, Hui The old man in robe pointed at the long stone bench opposite.
"Zhang Xiaoyou, please sit down. My aura is so solid. It can be seen that you must come from a great family. Not only is your foundation extremely solid, but your cultivation is also surprisingly strong.
At the late stage of Jindan, his cultivation has surpassed that of many false infant monks, but he is weaker than the early Yuanying monks.
And on the surface, my friend is in the early stage of the Golden Elixir. Apart from personal opportunities, this kind of brilliant concealment technique will only appear in super sects!"
The old man in gray robe just glanced at Li Yan and said something that made Li Yan's expression change.
Li Yan was not surprised to see that he had hidden his realm. The other party was much higher than him.
However, his true cultivation was that his combat prowess was comparable to that of Shuang Qingqing, who boasted that he was in the late Nascent Soul stage. The old man in gray robe just casually glanced at him and got a close look at himself.
How terrifying is this kind of vision!
However, from this, we can also see how terrifying the legendary late Yuanying monks are.
Shuang Qingqing could only rely on that puppet to increase his strength by a large margin. The gap between the late and middle stages of Nascent Soul was so huge that it was unimaginable.
After all, Li Yan was also a scheming person. After his expression changed, he quickly returned to normal.
When the old man in gray robe saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Li Yan's calmness exceeded his expectations.
"Senior's eyes are as bright as a torch, how can I hide my humble behavior from my senior!"
Li Yan bowed again without being arrogant or humble, and then sat down on the side opposite to the old man in gray robe. He did not dare to sit face to face with him.
"I heard Meng Zhiyuan say that the strong man behind you can be easily killed by the cultivator who transforms into gods. My ability is nothing at all, hehehe...
It is absolutely impossible to find such an awe-inspiring strong man in the Qingqing Continent today, and it is only possible to appear in places such as the Forgotten Continent where he is accompanied by killing all day long."
The gray-robed old man got straight to the point and mentioned Qianzhong Zhenjun without any concealment. A bright light flashed in his eyes for a moment.
"Senior, you just don't want to ascend. Otherwise, when you reach the fairy world, you will already be a monk who transforms into gods!"
"Hahaha, you are just putting gold on this old man's face. There is no shortage of god-transforming monks in the lower realm now. Why can they all directly transform into gods in the lower realm?
This only shows that my old qualifications are still dull. I, the ‘ancestor’ that others call me, can’t compare to your ancestor. What can I do if I reach the stage of becoming a god?
Master Duanmu, who is proficient in the power of the law of time, can enter and exit the formation at will while talking and laughing, that is the real strong man!"
The old man in gray robe shook his head and smiled at Li Yan, so that Li Yan didn't know how to answer the question.
"Little friend, do you know why Yi Xiaowu sent you here just now?
After you got in, you went out immediately?"
When Li Yan heard this, he was slightly startled for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"It turns out his name is Yi Xiaowu!"
In fact, Li Yan was not very familiar with the five brothers and sisters of Meng Zhiyuan. He only knew Meng Zhiyuan's name. He had never asked about the rest of them.
Li Yan didn't understand why Meng Shangmo suddenly asked such a question. He pondered for a moment.
"Oh, the junior only asked Fellow Daoist Yi to ask if the senior could meet him, but did not explain the purpose of his visit to him. He may feel that he needs to avoid it. In fact, there is no need to avoid this matter!"
After hearing Li Yan's answer, the gray-robed old man smiled and shook his head.
"This can only be regarded as one of the small reasons. The real reason is that they have knots in their hearts every time they meet me.
Logically speaking, I am still their junior, so they actually don't want to see me.
It is rare for him to come here to pay a visit to the little friend, which shows that the little friend has a very high status in his heart. What he just said when he went out was actually meant for the old man.
Although he knew clearly that he was no match for the old man, he still stayed outside the cave and waited for the little friend to get out. If the little friend couldn't get out by then, he would fight to the death, hahaha... I am not lying when I say this."
After hearing what the old man in gray robe said, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little moved on his face. He was really unexpected this time.
He didn't expect that the young man in red clothes, whose name he didn't even know, would have such a kind heart.
In fact, Li Yan just didn't understand the dilemma of life and death of being trapped for thousands of years, and the feeling of five people who shouldered the hope of returning their tribe.
They cannot die easily. Even if they know that they will suffer all the time, they must force themselves to hold on and work hard to live.
In the end, Qian Zhongzhenjun exchanged their hopes with conditions, which had the meaning of a transaction.
But after actually escaping and feeling the vitality of the outside world, Li Yan's status in their hearts completely changed.
In fact, not only did Li Yan have a different status in the hearts of the five meng Zhiyuan, but even the returning low-level monsters were full of gratitude to Li Yan in their hearts.
It was Li Yan who made them aware of the vastness of the outside world, allowing them to fly high and fly freely. At the moment when they flew straight into Jiuxiao, they knew the true meaning of the flying monster's life.
"What I'm saying is to make Xiaoyou Zhang understand that what you have done to our clan is really important. When I see you, I also want to say thank you in person!"
While the gray-robed old man was speaking, although he did not stand up, he still saluted Li Yan with a smile.
When Li Yan saw this, his heart trembled. He quickly stood up and immediately gave a junior salute in return. This was a great monk.
He also understood the meaning behind Meng Sheng Mo's words, regardless of the deal between him and Meng Zhiyuan.
Li Yan brought back at least one Nascent Soul cultivator to the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat". For a group of people, The importance cannot be expressed clearly in words.
Shuang Qingqing once said that Meng Shangmo had been staying in the lower world, just waiting for the Yuanying monk to appear in the clan, so that he could ascend with confidence.
This is the reason why some ancient races can continue to thrive. There will always be strong people among them who sacrifice themselves for charity.
Li Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the old man in front of him who he had just met!
For example, the yellow-robed Nascent Soul strongman from the Giant Tree Clan, although he also has the intention of protecting his tribe, if he really has a suitable ascension node, can he still be willing to give up his ascension to protect his tribe?
The other party really may not be able to do it!
This point can be seen from the fact that he asked Shuang Qingqing about the ascension node, and the urgency in his heart can be seen.
"Okay, little friend Zhang, I also heard from Meng Zhiyuan that the senior had three requests. Don't worry, I won't inquire about your sect.
I will do it according to Meng Zhiyuan's promise. If you have anything to ask, just bring it up. As long as I can do it, I won't make any excuses.
Otherwise, if the ancestor of your sect comes to visit me, I will be really speechless, hahaha!"
Meng Shangmo waved his hand to Li Yan and motioned for him to sit down.
Li Yan could not see the slightest hint of the tyranny of a great monk in Meng Shangmo. Instead, he was very humble and gentle, and his whole person was full of wisdom.
"Oh, it's like this. This time this junior has experienced the Qingqing Continent, one of the things was told by the ancestor of the sect, asking me to go to the Tianling Clan to find a senior.
The ancestor of this senior had some friendship with my ancestor, but now the senior of the Tianling clan I am looking for is in trouble, and her disciples are also controlled by others.
Therefore, I would like to ask Senior Meng to help solve this matter!"
Li Yan didn't beat around the bush and directly explained his purpose.
"Tianling tribe? Are you talking about the Shuangqingqing Daoist who just returned a few years ago?"
Li Yan was shocked in his heart. The great monk was the great monk, and he casually guessed the person he was referring to.
The Tianling Clan originally had three Nascent Soul cultivators, so it was okay for me to have contact with any one of them.
Meng Shangmo immediately thought of Shuang Qingqing, who had just returned. This kind of old monster really couldn't be as mediocre as it seemed on the surface. He had a lot of things in his mind.
"Seniors have sharp eyes, which is exactly what two seniors do!"
"Haha, why are you so wise? Don't put gold on this old man's face, little friend. Of course I will know when a monk like this comes to Qingqing Continent.
I can guess that it is also because the origins of the Double Daoist Friends are very mysterious, and there is no record of this person in the Tianling Clan.
Their clan has been peaceful for so many years, and now when problems arise, she is most likely to be the one to blame.
I have never had the opportunity to meet the two fellow Taoists. I never thought that this fellow Taoist has a connection with your sect. What happened to her now? How can I help her? Is it necessary for me to help her? "
