"But when my nephew went out to purchase things this time, he accidentally met a senior with unfathomable cultivation. He insisted that I hand over an item to Master Nangong, and also placed a ban on me. He said that only
Only Master Nangong can undo it." Bai Ran said with a sad face in an instant.
"Senior! Is this the alchemy monk?" The fair-skinned monk was startled when he heard this, and asked a little surprised.
"My nephew doesn't know about this. However, he claimed to be an old acquaintance of Master Nangong. Hearing that Master Nangong's big day was approaching, he sent a congratulatory gift. He also had a few words for me to say personally.
Tell Master." Bai Ran looked depressed, as if he was forced to have no choice.
"Old acquaintance of Master? Could it be that he is also a senior from the Nascent Soul Stage?" This time, another monk with rough hands and feet was also a little surprised.
"This is possible. But since this senior is already here, why doesn't he go up the mountain to deliver the gift in person?" After the fair-skinned monk was shocked, he became a little confused.
"Who knows! Maybe this senior has something else to do or is inconvenienced. Master Nephew Yuan, stretch out your hand. Let me see the restriction in your body first!" The monk with thick hands and thick feet made two guesses.
After the sentence, he said to Bai Ran unceremoniously.
Bai Ran had already expected this, and he stretched out one arm honestly without any panic. At the same time, after a surge of spiritual power in his body, he simulated a strange magical restraint.
The monk held Bai Ran's wrist and sensed it for a moment, then a look of horror appeared on his face.
Seeing this, the fair-skinned monk curiously put two fingers on Bai Ran's arm, and soon his face changed drastically.
"Yes, there is indeed a severe restriction in your body. And looking at the complexity of this restriction, it is most likely that it was placed by a monk at the Nascent Soul stage. But based on this alone, we cannot let you go up the mountain easily. You first
Take out the congratulatory gift from that senior
, one of us will hand it over to you to see if it is really Master Nangong’s old acquaintance. Only if Master knows you and is willing to see you can you go up the mountain, Master Nephew Yuan, do you understand?” The fair-skinned monk’s expression was condensed, but
He said in a slow tone.
Bai Ran looked bitter after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
"That's fine. However, my uncle must tell his master clearly that the nephew has been banned!" Bai Ran took out a long wooden box from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to him.
, and added worriedly.
There is a pale silver forbidden talisman affixed to the lid of the wooden box. Judging from the fluctuations in spiritual energy, it seems to be something extraordinary.
Apparently this was done to prevent the transferee from peeking in on the way.
"I got it. Just wait here. Junior Brother Ma, I'll be back as soon as I go!" The fair-skinned monk first said to Bai Ran impatiently, then told another monk, and said to the wooden box in his hand.
He left with his royal weapon behind him.
Bai Ran could only stand there and wait quietly.
Although he was confident that Nangong Wan would definitely meet him when he saw the things in the box, but he still felt a little uneasy when things came to this.
There was nothing left in his mouth to deal with other inquiries from the monks who stayed behind to establish the foundation. But when the other party asked about the appearance of the "senior" who had entrusted him with the gift, he was given a blank sentence. The other party was wearing a cloak, and even men and women could not see it.
Clear words got through it.
After waiting for a full meal, the fair-skinned monk finally came back with empty hands.
"Master Nangong said that that person is indeed his old friend. You can follow me to see the master, and he will release your restraints." The fair-skinned monk was neat and tidy. After just a few words,
He asked Bai Ran to follow him up the mountain.
Bai Ran was overjoyed in her heart, and with an excited look on her face, she followed the fair-skinned monk to the top of the mountain for the royal weapon.
"Be careful. Don't deviate from both sides of the mountain road. The restrictions here are much more severe than those at the middle level. Even if I fall in, there will be no way out." The fair-skinned monk warned coldly while leading the way.
Bai Ran naturally said yes again and again.
But at this moment, a blue light flew towards his head. The fair-skinned monk seemed to recognize the master of the escape light. The imperial weapon with a respectful look on his face stopped aside and stood respectfully with his hands tied.
In an instant, the light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. After a brief pause, a middle-aged monk in brocade clothes with a gloomy face was revealed.
"Master Nephew Sun, why do you bring a Qi Refining Stage disciple up to the mountain peak? Don't you know the rules here?" The monk in Jinyi glanced at Bai Ran and said coldly with no expression on his face.
"Uncle Lan, my nephew took this disciple up the mountain on the order of Master Nangong. Otherwise, my nephew would not dare to do this even if he was brave enough." The fair-skinned monk seemed to be in awe of the brocade-robed monk.
He quickly explained.
At this time, Bai Ran had carefully scanned the opponent with his spiritual consciousness. This middle-aged man in Jinyi was just a monk in the early stage of forming pills, so he didn't need to take it to heart. Although he thought so in his heart, Bai Ran could only act respectfully on the surface.
Don't dare to speak easily.
"Uncle Nangong wants to see this man! Tell me what's going on." Hearing this, the monk in Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.
"The thing is like this, this nephew Yuan..." The fair-skinned monk did not dare to hide it, but he still felt that the matter was insignificant, so he told Bai Ran's story again.
"Uncle Nangong's old friend, has been restrained?" The brocade-robed monk frowned slightly, and his eyes suddenly fell on Bai Ran's face like a sharp blade.
"Let me see the restrictions on your body!" the brocade-robed monk ordered unceremoniously.
Bai Ran cursed in his heart that this person was looking for trouble, but he could only helplessly obey the order and step forward.
"Hey! It's indeed a bit weird. However, although this restriction is complicated, it is not vicious. It seems that the person does not have any malicious intentions. You go see Master Nangong!" The monk in Jinyi also grabbed Bai Ran's wrist and probed it.
After a while, he nodded and said.
Then he ignored the two of them, and the light from his body turned into a light blue escape light and flew directly down the mountain. After a moment, the escape light became dim and blurred, suddenly transformed into five shapes, and disappeared without a trace.
trace.
"Master Uncle Lan's invisible escape method can be said to be better than Lan's. Although it is only in the early stage of pill formation, it must be difficult for even late-stage pill formation monks to do anything to him!" The fair-skinned monk waited for the brocade-robed pill-forming monk to leave.
, took a deep breath, looked at the direction where the light disappeared, and murmured a few words to himself.
When Bai Ran heard this, his heart moved.
"Invisible Escape"
Is this person somehow related to the "Old Monster Qiong" who appeared before the bloody trial that day? Is he the apprentice or descendant of "Old Monster Qiong"?
Bai Ran was slightly surprised!
At this time, the fair-skinned monk's expression relaxed and he took Bai Ran's royal weapon forward again.
Bai Ran then put the matter of the Jinyi monks behind him.
Because there are not many high-level monks living at the top of Linglong Mountain.
Except for the brocade-robed monk at the beginning, the two of them did not meet anyone else and went directly to a cave near the highest point of the mountain.
"This is Master Nangong's retreat! If you reply to Master carefully later, maybe in addition to giving you a contact ban, Master Nangong will have other benefits for you!" the fair-skinned monk said with some envy.
Then he turned his head and spoke respectfully outside the gate:
"Reporting to the master, the disciple has been brought here."
"Yes! I understand. Let the disciple come in by himself. You go down first!" A female voice that sounded familiar yet unfamiliar came faintly from behind the stone door, followed by a yellow light on the cave door.
With a flash, the stone door opened on its own.
Bai Ran didn't hesitate and walked in a few steps.
What surprised Bai Ran was that a pretty female cultivator in a yellow shirt and short sleeves was standing behind the stone gate. She looked young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she had successfully built the foundation and had an early stage.
The purpose of cultivation.
"Follow me. Master is waiting for you in the hall!" The female cultivator took a look at Yuan Kun, who was dressed as Bai Ran. Seeing that there was nothing outstanding about him, she said this coldly and turned around to go deeper into the cave.
Go everywhere.
Bai Ran took a deep breath and followed silently.
Nangong Wan's cave was not very big, so the pretty woman only led Bai Ran down a short corridor, and then passed through several small rooms before arriving at the so-called hall.
The decoration in the hall is elegant and exquisite, with some unknown sandalwood burning in the corner. There are two antique short flower stands at the door, each with two plates of rare and precious grasses, which are emerald green.
In the middle of the hall, there is a small, square wooden table with a light green wicker chair on each side.
Sitting on one of the chairs was a girl with black hair and white clothes, looking down at something in her hand, a huge silver sword.
There was a wooden box with the lid half opened on the wooden table nearby. It was empty. When the woman in white saw Bai Ran coming in, she put the silver sword she was caressing back into the wooden box, and then she raised her head gently, demurely.
looked at Bai Ran.
A charming face that had haunted Bai Ran countless times appeared in front of Bai Ran.
The slightly pointed chin, the delicate nose, the clear and intoxicating bright eyes, all these are so familiar and so tempting, and an indescribable warm feeling arises in my heart.
It’s as if this woman has spent hundreds of thousands of years together!
Bai Ran completely put all the moods and formulas in the back of his mind at this moment, allowing this kind of passion that he had never experienced before to instantly fill his entire chest.
When Nangong Wan saw Bai Ran staring at him so wantonly, she was startled for a moment, then a hint of thoughtfulness flashed across her beautiful eyes, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently.
"Yu'er, you go down first. I want to talk to this person alone." Nangong Wan raised her chin slightly and said calmly to the female cultivator in yellow shirt who led Bai Ran in.
"Yes, Master!" The girl in the yellow shirt was stunned for a moment, but then she immediately agreed with her head lowered.
She quietly exited the hall and disappeared.
Bai Ranjing waited for the woman to completely disappear from the door, then looked left and right, scanning the surroundings with her spiritual consciousness. There was indeed no trace of his monk near the hall.
Then he stared at Nangong Wan, and without saying a word, he made a hand seal with his hands. Suddenly, a "cracking" sound came from his body, and then his figure suddenly grew several inches, and at the same time, a blue light shook on his face.
.
Bai Ran showed his true appearance.
"It's really you! Bai Ran!" A complex expression flashed across Nangong Wan's face, but she didn't look too surprised and just sighed quietly.
"You...you knew I would come!" Bai Ran returned to his original appearance, and he didn't know how to address this woman. He hesitated and said such a boring sentence awkwardly.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Bai Ran felt a little regretful and couldn't help scratching his back in annoyance.
"You! Just call me Wan'er." When Nangong Wan saw Bai Ran's dull look, she showed off her beauty and chuckled sweetly.
This woman's bright eyes were flowing and her face was stunning. "Wan'er!" Bai Ran was so happy that she couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
He was still a little uneasy at first, but finally calmed down.
This woman is indeed not indifferent to him, otherwise she would not show such a look towards him. For a moment, Bai Ran stared at this woman's stunning face and became a little obsessed.
"What's good about me? Is it more attractive than your new concubine?" Nangong Wan blushed and said calmly, tilting her head slightly.
"Concubine? You also know this." After hearing the other party's seemingly unhappy words, Bai Ran finally woke up a little and said in surprise.
"Hmph! A new elder of Luoyun Sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator who has been advanced for more than two hundred years, how could I not know this?" Nangong Wan lowered her head slightly, looked at the smooth bluestone ground, and snorted slightly,
There is a hint of arrogance.
"Is it the monk surnamed Tang that I met a few days ago?" Bai Ran thought for a while and said with a bit of surprise.
"You're not stupid at all! It was indeed the Tang nephew who sent me the transmission talisman through special channels. When I received the transmission talisman, I really couldn't believe it. You, who had disappeared for many years, turned out to be a Nascent Soul monk.
, immediately asked someone to find recent information about the Luoyun Sect. I had never paid much attention to this information in the past. Although it was a little late, I finally found out.
I have told you a general situation. From the time you suddenly appeared, became the elder of Luoyun Sect, and left on the way to the trade fair, I knew a little bit about it. And your concubine is still in Tiantian City and has not left yet.
!" Nangong Wan brushed the blue hair on her forehead, glanced sideways at Bai Ran, and said with a half-smile. Her expression was suddenly extremely charming, showing all kinds of charm.
"I clearly asked her to go back to the sect with another elder. It seems that something delayed her! But this concubine is..." Bai Ran touched his nose, showing a hint of embarrassment.
I want to explain something.
"Okay, there's no need to say anything more. I don't have any complaints about you taking a concubine. Aren't I going to get married myself?" Nangong Wan interrupted Bai Ran's words, and her expression became sad at the same time.
, suddenly became extremely weak.
"What's going on? Do you really plan to marry that person?" Bai Ran's face changed slightly, and after his voice deepened, he asked slowly.
"Before answering this question, Wan'er would like to ask carefully. Why are you here this time? Do you want to stop me from marrying that person, or do you just want to see me and leave." Nangong Wan bit her red lips slightly.
, said with twinkling starry eyes.
"Of course I will take you away. I want you to be my wife, Bai Ran! No matter who wants to fight for love, he must first ask his colleagues if they agree." When Bai Ran heard this, he said without hesitation, his words were full of numbers.
Endless determination.
"What a beautiful idea you have! When did I agree to marry you? When Nangong Wan heard this, her face flushed and she spat shyly, looking very seductive.
Bai Ran chuckled and said nothing.
No matter how new he was in love affairs, he knew it was best to be less discerning at this time.
After a while, the shame on Nangong Wan's face gradually disappeared, and she said with a serious expression:
"Do you know, after I lost my virginity to you in the Blood Trial in the Forbidden Land, the first thought that arose in my heart was to cut you, a little monk in the Qi Refining Stage, into countless pieces, and then use Suzaku
I will crush you to ashes in order to avenge the loss of my virginity! After all, my innocent body, which I have guarded for more than a hundred years, was destroyed in your hands. How can you not make me hate it so much."
"So, I really almost died back then!" Bai Ran rubbed his nose, looking a little bit dumbfounded.
"Of course. If it weren't for my sudden soft-heartedness and let you go. Do you think it's so easy to take advantage of me as an alchemy monk?" When Nangong Wan said this, although there was still some trace of anger on his face,
There was a trace of bright red, but there was no angry and angry words in his mouth.
Bai Ran grinned and said nothing more. But after Nangong Wan's resentment was relieved, her almond-shaped lips parted slightly and she continued:
"Later, you and I broke up, and after I returned to the Dao Sect, I don't know why, no matter whether I practiced the exercises or meditated in seclusion, I couldn't get rid of your shadow. And the times it appeared became clearer and more frequent.
Only then did I realize that you had become a demonic obstacle in my life, and if I didn’t find a way to get rid of it, I might not be able to improve my cultivation for the rest of my life.”
"There are only two ways to eliminate this demonic obstacle. One is that I marry you as my wife, and you and I become husband and wife, and the demonic obstacle will naturally no longer exist. The second method is that you disappear from this world, and you are no longer a human being."
The demonic barrier will gradually fade away. Marrying you was impossible for you at that time because of the huge gap in cultivation and status. So I was tortured.
After a long time, I gritted my teeth and decided to get rid of you. But before I could take action, the Six Demonic Sects came to attack. I happened to meet you again in the camp of the Seven Sects. And you were already a
It’s called a Foundation Stage monk. This makes my determination waver again. After all, if you can continue to work hard, it’s not impossible for you and me to get married.”
"It turns out that you had murderous intentions towards me again at that time. When I saw the masked you, I was extremely excited. But your indifference made me pour cold water on me, and I was depressed for several days." Bai Bai
Ran's face was stunned for a moment, but he immediately murmured a wry smile.
When Nangong Wan heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, then said without any words:
"Further on, due to the betrayal of Spirit Beast Mountain, the seven factions were defeated. Each faction prepared to take away its core disciples and evacuate the country. As the youngest alchemy monk, I was also among the first to evacuate. But at that time
I also have a good friend in Huang Maple Valley. During the conversation with me, he vaguely learned about Ancestor Linghu’s evacuation plan. I learned that you might be in danger."
"At that time, I may have been possessed by a ghost. I don't know why I only had one thought in my mind, which was to suddenly return to save you. When I passed by, it was already a step too late. The battle is over, and most of the disciples you used as bait have been killed.
Kill, only a small group of monks break out. I don’t know your life or death. I have no choice but to go back first.
He entered the sect and assisted the remaining disciples in a battle with the demonic people. As a result, he was seriously injured by a pill-forming monk. When he broke out and left, he was chased by several juniors. You must also know what happened next.
There is no such person as Nangong Ping in this world. It’s just me changing my appearance. It’s not that I don’t want to meet you with my true face, it’s just me
Brother Jiedan can't tell you personally that I came here to save you and wanted to marry you! And at that time I absorbed most of your cultivation, and I was even more embarrassed to see you in my true form. But I didn't propose to you.
Do you want to follow me back to the Hidden Moon Sect? Originally, you just had to go back with me. I would show my true face, try my best to help you form a golden elixir, and then marry you.
Who would have thought? I wonder if you are really greedy for money, or if you are too chauvinistic, and you insist on just touching the spiritual stone. This makes me helpless for a moment." When Nangong Wan said this, her bright eyes flashed.
With a hint of amusement, she glared at Bai Ran fiercely. But how could Bai Ran feel that there was a hint of relief in this woman's charming eyes.
Naturally, Bai Ran didn't know that if he had really agreed to return to the Hidden Moon Sect with this woman that day, Nangong Wan might have married him as promised, but it was more likely that she would have been disappointed because of his casual agreement to practice dual cultivation with another woman.
Inner demons.
By then, this woman who has become indifferent to Bai Ran will most likely find a female disciple to deal with him.
