As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Qi Yuan looked at Shen Gongbao's smiling face and couldn't say any words of rejection, so he had to follow him to a mountain with a pleasant scenery below.
When the two landed, Shen Gongbao waved his sleeves, cleared a clean open space on the top of the mountain, and extended his hand to signal Qi Yuan to sit with him.
The ferocious black panther is lying behind Shen Gongbao, with a strong body, thick muscles and bones, and meat...
cough.
Qi Yuan quickly interrupted the inexplicable thoughts in his mind. What did the quality of the leopard's meat have to do with him? It was impossible for him to catch the leopard and eat it.
He Ling'er did not turn into a human form, but stood not far behind Qi Yuan.
This girl also knew that her master definitely didn't want to see the Taoist opposite, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to run away as soon as he saw him twice.
So she still kept her original shape, so that if there was a conflict, she could escape with the master.
Shen Gongbao sat cross-legged in a smart manner, wearing a large black monk's robe that floated gently with the breeze on the top of the mountain, giving him a somewhat free and easy temperament.
It's also because he has a knot in his mind that he can't let go of. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would be more suitable to be the kind of loose immortal who travels around the world and travels all over the world. He is unrestrained and carefree, making friends in his spare time, and discussing mysteries when he feels like it. This kind of life
More suitable for him.
Qi Yuan looked at Shen Gongbao and sighed inwardly.
To be honest, talking to Shen Gongbao will never make people feel bored. This man has a clear mind and interesting conversation. If he didn't just want to make people go against Xiqi, Qi Yuan really wouldn't mind making friends with him.
It's a pity that even though Shen Gongbao can say that everything is going on now, Qi Yuan has already listed him as someone to be on strict guard against in his heart.
So although he was smiling and laughing on the surface, he always maintained a somewhat vigilant attitude in his heart.
"I have met your master a few times, and although we don't have a close relationship, we still had a pleasant conversation. Since you are a disciple of Taoist Brother Zhao Gongming, and you are a poor Taoist, I will call you Qi Senior Nephew."
Shen Gongbao's face was full of smiles, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
Of course, what surprised him was definitely not Qi Yuan's cultivation, but the mysterious light of merit rising faintly behind Qi Yuan's head.
This kind of light of merit cannot be seen by ordinary mortals, but Shen Gongbao has been an immortal for a long time, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he can see that there are two faint halos of merit behind Qi Yuan.
In fact, Qi Yuan usually suppresses this kind of aura of merit and virtue in his body, and will not show it on weekdays.
Although he is now a man with a halo of his own, he doesn't want to run around with a ball of light on his head every day.
But after meeting Shen Gongbao, he let out a little bit of secret, indicating to Shen Gongbao that he was a man of merit and virtue, so don't make random plots against me.
However, it seems that it has no effect at present. Instead, it makes Shen Gongbao more enthusiastic about him, which Qi Yuan did not expect.
Qi Yuan remained calm on the surface and smiled softly: "Uncle Shen, you're too polite. I don't know where I'm going, but don't delay my uncle's schedule because of my nephew."
However, Shen Gongbao seemed completely unaware of Qi Yuan's subtle hint and said with a smile: "I am a poor Taoist who travels all over the world and wants to visit a few Taoist friends, but it is not something urgent.
Well, my nephew is going back to Jin'ao Island, and I haven't seen Taoist Brother Zhao Gongming for a few years, so I just want to go and visit him."
Qi Yuan was trembling in his heart, this guy was still trying to trick his master.
This is not okay. I took a huge risk in the first place to avoid putting my master in danger, but I can no longer let Shen Gongbao's words confuse my mind.
So he hurriedly said: "I don't know, uncle, but my master has recently gained some enlightenment in spiritual practice and is practicing hard in seclusion. If uncle, master, comes to see my master at this time, there may be something... inappropriate."
Of course Shen Gongbao understood the meaning of his words, so he could only shake his head helplessly, sighing at the pity, and then asked about the situation on Jin'ao Island.
Qi Yuan secretly rolled his eyes, this is really evil.
But it's normal to think about it. Nowadays, the great power is living in seclusion. The most popular group of people in the world with the highest cultivation level are the Jie Jiao disciples.
Shen Gongbao wanted to find helpers to defeat Jiang Ziya, so the disciples of Jie Jiao were naturally his first choice.
Qi Yuan secretly thought about it and said: "Speaking of the elders on Jin'ao Island, apart from Uncle Duobao and others, the one with the highest cultivation level is undoubtedly the Seven Immortals who serve under the Patriarch.
These seven masters all have the cultivation of Jinxian, especially Master Wuyunxian is the most powerful. My master once said that he is only half a step away from Daluo Jinxian, and the power of the Hunyuan Hammer, a protective spiritual treasure, is also extremely powerful.
In addition to this, Uncle Long Er Dingguang is also one of the leaders. Not only is he highly cultivated, but he is also highly trusted by his master. He is a rare figure.
The other uncles also have their own methods, and ordinary golden immortals are definitely no match for them.
Although you, uncle, have taught you twelve golden immortals, my uncles are definitely not inferior to them."
Qi Yuan deliberately mentioned these seven people in front of Shen Gongbao, but he was thinking about whether Shen Gongbao could deceive these people into the battlefield in advance.
After all, the seven immortals who accompanied the leader of Tongtian, except for the Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui, whose whereabouts were unknown after the war, were all taken captive to the West.
Among them, Wuyunxian, who has the highest level of cultivation, is kept in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool like a pet. He also calls it enjoying the bliss. Someone wrote a poem and said: Playing in the Eight Treasures Pool, with golden lotus as his companion, this is really true.
Big joke.
What's even worse is that the three disciples of Qiu Shou Immortal, Ling Ya Immortal and Jin Guang Immortal, who are noble saints, were directly treated as mounts and humiliated, and their face was completely lost.
Qi Yuan would rather choose them to go to heaven to become gods than see them reduced to this level.
But he doesn't have this ability, so he can only place his hope on Shen Gongbao.
I don’t know if this man can persuade Wu Yunxian and others to come out with his sharp tongue.
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything too obvious, otherwise it would be troublesome for someone to find him out in the future.
"oh?"
Shen Gongbao's eyes turned slightly, he stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have heard of the names of those seven senior brothers for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to make friends with them. I will definitely visit them when I have the opportunity in the future."
Qi Yuan nodded and asked softly: "Uncle Master, does he have any familiar Taoist friends on Jin'ao Island? If not, the disciple can also introduce him to him."
Shen Gongbao chuckled, "Although I don't go to Jin'ao Island often, I still have a few friends practicing on the island, so I don't need to bother my nephew about this.
But in the future, when your master comes out of confinement, you can go and visit your master."
Qi Yuan was speechless, why are he still staring at his master?
"By the way, nephew, you are not practicing on Jin'ao Island. Why are you here? Do you need my help?"
Shen Gongbao changed the subject and brought it back to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan had no choice but to say: "The way my disciple cultivates is somewhat special. I am looking for some good ingredients recently, but there is nothing I need to trouble my uncle."
He really couldn't think of any other excuse, so he had to use this as the reason.
"I see."
Shen Gongbao nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "Since my nephew has come to Xiqi, have you ever heard of Jiang Ziya and others verbally humiliating the Jie Jiao disciples?"
