Chapter 261: A corpse friend comes from afar, a close friend night chapter

Chapter 261: A corpse friend came from afar, and a close friend talked at night (asking for monthly tickets~)

The nine-foot-tall giant, with a red face and bare chest, a face that looked like it was cut by a knife, and muscles carved by an axe, was extremely sturdy and strong. Especially on the large area from the abdomen to the chest, there was a tattoo of a blooming blood lotus, which was extremely terrifying.

Huyan Jun looked up at the person who came and felt a wave of heat coming towards him, especially the giant man's indigo-dyed Miao clothes, which made him feel dazed, as if he had seen the stunning glimpse of the red-haired ancestor of Miao many years ago!
"This Taoist friend is very polite. Are you here to see the master of Guanxuan Temple as well?"

Hu Yanjun said.

The giant looked down at Master Huyanjun and his apprentice, then clasped his fists in response.
"That's right, fellow Taoist, are you also going into the mountains?"

Hu Yanjun shook his head.

"I just came out of the mountain and have finished chatting with Taoist Guan Xuan."

The giant's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he asked,

"I'm new here, and I don't know what kind of person this Taoist Master Guan Xuan is. Can you tell me?"

Hu Yanjun thought about it and said,
"He is a man of great magical powers and knowledge. This trip will definitely be worthwhile."

The giant smiled when he heard this, but perhaps because he was too strong, the muscles on his face were a little stiff, and even when he smiled he looked very fierce. He replied,
"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Taoist."

"Meeting is destiny. May I know your name? I am Hu Yanjun from Qingcheng Mountain. Who knows, we may meet again in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Huyan, my surname is Wu, and my given name is Qingbo."

"So you are my fellow martial artist. See you later."

"See you later."

The two men bowed and said goodbye.

----

Hu Yanjun took Yu Nanlin away. Not long after they flew away from Kanli Mountain, Yu Nanlin said,
"Master, that person just now was so powerful. Just standing opposite him, I felt as if the blood in my body was burning."

Hu Yanjun nodded.

"It is indeed not simple. He must be at the level of the third calamity of the golden elixir. However, I don't think he is practicing the Xuanqing orthodox method. I haven't even seen him breathing. However, there is no bloody evil spirit on his body. He should be a person from a side sect."

Then he paused and added,
"In the final analysis, it is that Taoist Master Guan Xuan who is truly amazing. He truly practices cultivation even when he talks and laughs, and he is not worldly in his dealings with others."

Yu Nanlin also calmed down at this moment and nodded.
"I just hope he is really capable and can remove the evil fire from Master's flying sword."

Hu Yanjun smiled.

"Let's wait and see after ten days. It's you who practiced rashly. Now you've got something wrong. Thanks to the advice from others. You should take good care of yourself after returning to the mountain. By the way, I'll bring the reward in ten days, and you should also prepare a thank-you gift to thank that Taoist Master Huai Pu."

"Disciple, obey."

----

Watching Hu Yanjun leave, Wu Qingbo withdrew his gaze.

Then he saw two children who were not even as long as his legs circling around him and looking up at him.

As the little girl watched, she flew up into the air, reaching the same level as Wu Qingbo. Zhao Li said,

"So you are Wu Qingbo."

The giant smiled and bowed,

"Hello, Immortal Boy. I am Wu Qingbo."

Zhao Li pointed at himself and the white dragon, then pointed at the lion on the top of the mountain and said,

"The master said that you are one of us, just like us. We are his sons, and the lion is his mount. So who are you to him?"

Wu Qingbo smiled and said,

"Me? I don't know who I am to the Benefactor, but if the Benefactor needs me, I can be a guard."

----

In the Taoist temple, Cheng Xinzhan introduced Feng Jihu and Yan Renying to each other. After chatting for a few words, they heard the voice of a boy outside the temple.
"Master, your old friend is here."

Cheng Xinzhan naturally knew who was coming, so he replied,

"please come in."

So Wu Qingbo walked in. When he passed through the gate, Kuiba's body almost blocked all the light coming in from outside.

Before Wu Qingbo could salute or open his mouth, Cheng Xinzhan raised his hand to stop him.

"We'll talk about this later. Come and sit down first."

So Wu Qingbo waived his formalities and sat down behind Cheng Xinzhan.

The giant sat down, and the whole temple seemed to heat up.

Cheng Xinzhan shook his whisk to dispel the heat, and his action also reminded Wu Qingbo, who then deliberately restrained his breath.

Yan Renying was surprised. Where did Yunlai invite this expert from? He smiled and said,
"What's going on today? Everyone is coming here today."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and replied,

"During the Jingzhe season, plants and trees are in high spirits, and the weather is warming up. During the Jingzhe season, all things come back to life, and spring thunders are frequent. In addition to scaring away insects and stimulating the growth of plants, they are also urging people to get out and walk more."

Yan Renying smiled and said,
"Yunlai, you always speak eloquently. Everything you say makes sense."

Zhou Qingyun smiled lightly when he heard that. Yes, that's right. The words that come out of his mouth are always interesting and reasonable.

Feng Jihu noticed Zhou Qingyun's expression, then glanced at Cheng Xinzhan, amusement flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and smiled.

Cheng Xinzhan didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two people, but started introducing them again.
"This is Wu Qingbo, a friend I made when I was training many years ago. He is a corpse immortal. He is here this time and will stay in my temple for a while."

Cheng Xinzhan openly introduced Wu Qingbo's identity. Of course, the corpse immortal he mentioned was not a real fairyland.

Because the dead things in the world have attained enlightenment, such as corpses, ghosts, and bones, basically they absorb the negative energy from the ground and the evil energy between heaven and earth to awaken their spirits, and then embark on the path of cultivation. They are cruel and murderous by nature, and most of them have embarked on the path of evil.

However, there are also some who have the opportunity to get rid of the violent and murderous nature in their roots and embark on the right path after awakening their spirits. Therefore, in order to distinguish them from the vast majority of the former, the latter are given the word "immortal", which not only indicates spirituality, but also expresses the hope that these difficult aliens can achieve the right result.

So the term "corpse fairy" came into being. Other terms like ghost fairy, bone fairy, willow fairy, and flower fairy all have the same meaning.

Everyone nodded and bowed. Those present were all people of great vision. They could tell at a glance that Wu Qingbo was not breathing. However, even though they were so close to him, they could not smell the stench of death from him. It seemed that his realm was already very high.

"These two are Yan Renying and Zhou Qingyun from the Emei Sect, and this one is my old friend, Huai Pu San Ren."

After everyone greeted each other, the boy replaced the tea with new one.

"Hey."

Yan Renying let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing, Renying?"

Cheng Xinzhan knew that he was going to talk about something, so he responded to the previous sentence.

"Now the situation of the demons in Xikang is gradually becoming clearer. The small temples without any roots have been destroyed or fled. The demon sects are basically gone in the Kangzhong area. Kangdong is connected to Shuxi, and there were no demons there to begin with. Now the demon sects are only in Kangbei, Kangxi, and Kangnan."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and said,
"Renying, why don't you tell me more details? Qingyun and I know some things, but my two new friends don't know much about the situation here. They are going to live here for a long time, so why not let them listen too?" Yan Renying smiled and nodded at Feng Jihu and Wu Qingbo.
"This is one of the few good news I have heard in recent days."

Then he went on to say,
“The White Bone Monastery in northern Kang relies on the Blood God Cult, the Xuanxin Temple in western Kang relies on the Maha Cult, there is no great demon in southern Kang, but the Southern Cult has almost taken over Dianwen, and there have been frequent crossings in the past few months.

"But that's easy to say. No matter what, we have taken over most of the land in Xikang, and the results of exterminating the demons are obvious to all. But with the results, new problems have also emerged. Now, the biggest problem in exterminating the demons is no longer the resistance of the demons, but the obstruction of our fellows!"

Yan Renying picked up the teacup, but it felt too hot when it touched his lips, so he put it down and continued,

"We, Baihe Sword Pavilion, went to attack Baigu Zen Temple. Fortunately, we had the support of Junior Sister Zhou. However, Yu Bailu from Qingcheng Mountain tried to stop us and compete with us for credit. I don't know if Hu Yanjun said anything when he came over just now. His disciple Yu Nanlin is the great-niece of Yu Bailu."

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head.
"He might have wanted to say something, but Qingyun happened to come at that time, so he didn't say it."

Yan Renying nodded, but did not say anything more about Hu Yanjun. He then said,
"The situation in the north is like this, and the south is even more troublesome. Now, as long as my Sword Pavilion's people go there, Junior Sister Yu's Red Water Sword Pavilion will drive us away like thieves, for fear that we will steal the credit."

Cheng Xinzhan did not respond this time, because according to the internal rules of Emei, you, Yan Renying, went to the south to snatch Yu Yingnan's head. Unless you dare to say that you killed the devil and sent the devil's head to Chishui Sword Pavilion, Yu Yingnan will definitely not stop you.

For this kind of thing, I'm afraid that Yan Renying will agree, Tong Yuanqi will not agree, Biyun'an will not agree, and the many disciples and elders in Emei who stand on Yan Renying's side will not agree.

But he also understood that Yan Renying came here today just to talk about these troubles. Moreover, in just two years, Cheng Xinzhan could clearly feel that this senior brother of Emei was much more haggard than when he first met him, and there was much more depression between his brows.

So he laughed and said,

"No wonder your mouth burns when you drink tea. It turns out you want to drink alcohol. Come, drink this. This is the last batch of bamboo wine from last year. This year's batch hasn't come out yet."

He handed over a bamboo tube.

Yan Renying smiled, took it, took a sip, and then said,
"I knew that Laiyun would never go wrong coming here."

At this time, Zhou Qingyun also nodded.
"I guard the north, block the West Sea in the west, and block Longyou in the east. I form a horn with Senior Brother Yan and Junior Sister Li, and use them as support. It's not bad for Senior Brother Yan. We resist the demons of Xikang and the West Sea, and we kill the demons together. We have never had any conflicts.

"However, in the past six months, we have had many conflicts with Junior Sister Li's Minshan Sword Pavilion. Two months ago, the old demon Zhiyan from the Longyou Xuanyin Sect attacked Minshan. I wanted to go to support him, but Junior Sister Li wouldn't let me get close."

Zhou Qingyun sighed in her heart, thinking that she didn't know when she could fulfill her promise to Yu Nanlin. At the same time, she couldn't help but have a question in her mind:
Master, is your arrangement right or wrong?

Yan Renying echoed Zhou Qingyun's words and continued to complain, but perhaps because he was busy with work or there were too many people around today, Yan Renying did not talk for too long. After drinking a tube of bamboo wine, he got up and left.

After Yan Renying left, Zhou Qingyun stayed for two more hours and talked a lot with Cheng Xinzhan, but they were all discussing some fables and ideas recorded in Taoist scriptures such as "Nanhua" and "Honglie", such as "Dream of Butterfly", "Dream of Skull" and "Death of Chaos". She neither complained like Yan Renying did and talked about the difficulties she faced, nor did she ask about the Taiyi Fenguan Sword Technique as she had just said.

Amidst the laughter and joy, the sky darkened. Even though Zhou Qingyun was reluctant to leave, he had to get up and say goodbye.

Cheng Xinzhan escorted him outside the temple.

When he came back, he saw Feng Jihu and Wu Qingbo looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head helplessly.
"What's so funny."

Feng Jihu said,
"I was wondering why you didn't want to go back to the mountain for two or three years. It turns out that you have a beautiful woman who is worried about you."

Cheng Xinzhan sat down and shook his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Who is talking nonsense? Who can't see this? I think only Yan Renying can't see it. Brother Qingbo, don't you think so?"

Wu Qingbo didn't dare to make fun of Cheng Xinzhan, so he just smiled to himself and didn't respond.

But Zhaoli and Bailong just nodded like pecking at rice.

Cheng Xinzhan sighed.

"She is a remarkable woman, but, well, forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Now that I'm alone, I'll introduce you two again, and we can talk all night long.

"Qing Bo, this is my fellow Taoist brother, my guide on the path of cultivation, and my most trusted friend. His surname is Feng, his Taoist name is Ji Hu, and he is now using the alias Huai Pu in Xikang."

"Brother Dao, this is Wu Qingbo, the zombie I saved when I was plotting against Tianshao Mountain. He was enlightened by me and is now a zombie buddy of mine."

So the two of them greeted each other again.

Since they were all family, they could talk more openly. Cheng Xinzhan also had a lot to say. He first asked Feng Jihu,
"Brother Dao, what kind of elixir did you make? You told me before that you needed Yimu Qi, can you use the Peach Blossom Evil that I left for you?"

Feng Jihu shook his head.

"No, your evil spirit is too strong, and there is also underground fire, which is not suitable for me. You know, I have always liked the "sick tree blooming flowers evil spirit", the Yi wood evil spirit, which also has the meaning of yin and yang withering and flourishing, which is the most suitable for me."

Cheng Xinzhan was delighted when he heard this, and asked,

"Did Brother Dao find this evil spirit?"

Feng Jihu smiled and nodded.
"I have been working in the alliance. Last year, I took an assignment to Dianwen. I am quite familiar with Dianwen. When I was in the early years of opening up the water palace, it was in Dianwen that I got the opportunity. This time, it was in Dianwen again. I found this evil spirit in a valley outside the Ailao Mountain."

"That's a great opportunity!"

Cheng Xinzhan clapped his hands and congratulated his Taoist brother.

Feng Jihu smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I already have several Earthly Fiends, but I have been waiting for this one, and finally I got what I wanted. This Earthly Fiend can be paired with many Yang Gangs, as long as they contain Ren water, I can use them. It just so happens that there is a small bottle of "Sunlight Rain Gang" in the alliance, so it didn't take too much effort. I used up all the merits I earned in the alliance over the years, and even spent some money to exchange for this Gang, and successfully formed the elixir."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded repeatedly.
"Brother, this is a good elixir. The 'Flowering on a Sick Tree' evil spirit is a dead tree that will come back to life in spring. Although it is a Yin evil spirit, it also has the meaning of the end of Yin and the birth of Yang. The 'Sunlight Rain Gang' is the legendary rain that falls when the sun driver sweeps the sky to clean it. There is Yin in Yang. The two together with Ren water and Yi wood, there is Yin in Yang and Yang in Yin. This is an elixir of immortality!"

Feng Jihu waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Don't flatter me. When it comes to golden elixirs, who has a higher quality Dragon Tiger Golden Elixir than you?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled,

"The best is what suits you."

"correct."

He remembered something else.
"Where is Brother Jiyuan? Have you found his Thunder Gang? Before I left, I left the Dragon Roar Water Thunder Gang with you. Can you give it to Brother Jiyuan to use?"

Feng Jihu nodded.

"I gave it to him, but he was still stubborn and couldn't let it go for the sake of face. Although he didn't want it, so many years have passed and he couldn't wait any longer. So I forced it on him before I left. After all, Lei Gang is too rare. Since you have it, there's no reason for him to find another Lei Qi to replace it. That would shorten his journey."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, that's true.

After Feng Jihu finished speaking, he handed over a small lead bottle.

Cheng Xinzhan was a little curious.
"Didn't Brother Dao say that Lei Gang had already been given to Brother Jiyuan? What is this?"

Feng Jihu said,
"I still have a little bit of the "Sick Tree Gives Birth to Flowers" after I formed the elixir. Take it."

Cheng Xinzhan waved his hands repeatedly.

"This thing is in line with my Dao path, and it will be of great use in the future. I don't want it."

Feng Jihu threw the bottle directly over.
"This evil is hard to come by. If you make the mistake, you will never have this shop again. You should take it quickly. I have kept some for myself. What are you embarrassed about? You are willing to give away your Lei Gang, and did I say I would return the Peach Blossom Evil you gave me?

"Besides, I know it even if others don't. Meiji Mountain is a place to cultivate yin and yang and life and death. This evil spirit will be of great use to you on your path. There isn't much of it left. It's definitely not enough for forming pills and refining weapons, but it's more than enough to comprehend the meaning of the law."

Cheng Xinzhan held the lead bottle. Brother Dao was right. This evil spirit was indeed of great use to him. He did not need to form elixir or refine weapons. It was already very useful just to comprehend the meaning of the law.

He put away the lead bottle and said to Feng Jihu with a smile,
"Brother Dao is my timely rain."
