Chapter 269 Worship the Heaven Again!
Chapter 269 Worship the Heaven Again!
The night wind is blowing gently, and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Li Yuan quietly went out and disappeared into the shadows, moving up and down, nimbly and silently.
Now, he possesses fifty forms, including the form of a spirit bird. He has been able to bring into full play the power of three pairs of fifth-tier boots, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, just like a ghost.
Li Yuan had already visited the Thirteen Peaks of Hun Tian and the layout of the various halls of Longmen not long after he entered the sect. With his attainments in Qinggong, he easily arrived at the foot of the Hun Tian Peak.
"Brother Dou Yue has been through a lot of blood transfusions for many years, so it's best not to get too close."
Although he was in disguise, Li Yuan was still very careful. He stopped at a distance, then reached out and took out a strong bow.
And took advantage of the situation to control the [Hundred Years Wild Ox Bow (Fifth Level)].
During the past six months, he had not practiced archery openly, but he would practice it every time he entered and exited the Mysterious Whale Secret Realm. He had also perfected the 'Forest-piercing Arrow Technique' taught to him by Shuhu.
"The Dragon and Tiger Temple is heavily guarded, especially the inner gate. The health furnace is covered. Without the inner gate token, outsiders will be nowhere to hide once they come in. I only need to give a warning, and there is no need to show up."
In the shadows on the mountain path, Li Yuan took out the written letter and tied it to an arrow. Then he bent the bow and aimed at the gate of Huntian Hall.
He just wanted to give a warning and changed into this outfit just in case, not to let Li Yuanba show up in public.
collapse!
With a thought, Li Yuan immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow without looking back. He tapped his feet lightly and retreated quickly. After a few ups and downs, he had already descended the Huntian Peak.
In the shadows, he looked back and saw lights on the Hun Tian Peak and figures rushing towards the mountain path, reacting quickly and on high alert.
He even saw more than a dozen goshawks flying out of the dense forest, rising high into the sky and overlooking the Hun Tian Peak.
"It's heavily guarded."
Li Yuan muttered to himself, and when he landed again, he had already rushed into the bamboo forest. After turning around a few times, he returned to the yard and quickly changed his clothes.
"Huntian Hall is the main battle hall among the three halls of Longmen. With Senior Brother Douyue's temperament, he will be alert regardless of whether the letter is true or false."
After blowing out the oil lamp, Li Yuan yawned and lay down without taking off his clothes.
With the strength of the Dragon and Tiger Temple and the advance warning, even the Grandmaster would not be able to sneak in quietly, so he could sleep peacefully.
……
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were arrows exploding into the sky from all the peaks of Hun Tian.
The elite disciples of all the Hun Tian helms were dispatched to patrol various places, and disciples from the Hundred Beasts Mountain rode goshawks to patrol the many peaks of the Dragon and Tiger Inner Gate.
"The arrow is a common fine iron arrow. The archer's archery skills are average, and the longbow he used should not be a good one either."
The lights in Hun Tian Hall were bright. Monk Dou Yue was sitting behind the desk. Under the light, his figure became even more burly. Several inner disciples reported in a solemn voice:
"This person shot the arrow and ran away, leaving no trace or footprint. I'm afraid his Qinggong is extremely high."
"As soon as the signal arrow sounded, the inner door was closed..."
"The Longyin Hall replied that there was no unusual movement in the health furnace, and no signs of outsiders entering or leaving the inner gate were found. This person is very likely an inner gate disciple."
"A disciple of the temple?"
Monk Dou Yue talked to himself, his voice was deep and loud, as soon as he spoke, the rest of the people in the hall immediately fell silent.
"Go to the Beast Mountain and invite Han Tong."
Monk Dou Yue gave instructions, and his disciples hurried away. He held the letter in his hand, his eyes slightly cold:
"The guardian of the evil god cult?"
He held the letter in his hand. No matter whether it was true or false, since it concerned the guardian of the Evil God Cult, he had to get to the bottom of it.
only……
"This letter..."
Monk Dou Yue said to himself, the health-preserving furnace covered the inner door, and without the token, even a master would not be able to sneak in silently.
Are you really a disciple of the sect?
"Junior Brother Dou Yue."
After a while, Han Tong came with a sword and strode into the Hun Tian Tang.
"Senior Brother Han."
Monk Dou Yue handed the letter over. The latter took it and frowned slightly. The words on the letter were messy and written very carefully. There was only one sentence:
"Yesterday, the guardians of the Evil God Cult entered the city."
"The guardian of the evil god cult?"
Han Tong frowned: "What do you think, Junior Brother Dou Yue?"
“Whether it’s true or not, we must investigate it thoroughly.”
Monk Dou Yue had a solemn look on his face. When the Taoist master and the hall masters had just gone down the mountain and had not yet returned, a guardian-level figure from the Evil God Cult came to Hengshan City, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
A great master of this level would never act rashly. Once he appears, it often means something big is about to happen.
"The Evil God Cult has eight guardians. If it's Huang Bai and the others, it's okay. But if it's Fang Chaotong, Lin Dongjun and the others, then you and I can't investigate it thoroughly."
Han Tong paced a few steps and sat down.
Among the eight guardians of the Evil God Cult, five of them have not yet fully understood the yin and yang, but the other three have already entered the Tao, and are only slightly inferior to the four Dharma Kings.
"Even if Fang Chaotong and Lin Dongjun dare to sneak into Hengshan City at this time, they must be caught."
Monk Dou Yue stood up and said, "I will report this to Master later. As for Senior Brother Han..."
"Han will be guarding the mountain gate."
Han Tong nodded: "I have just sent disciples to patrol the mountains. Forty-three goshawks are enough to cover the inner gate mountains."
"The other elders..."
Monk Dou Yue glanced at him.
"Old Chu was seriously injured. Longyin Hall will be temporarily under the charge of Lin Jia. I will go find him later. As for the other elders..."
Han Tong paused for a moment, then looked up at Monk Dou Yue:
"We will also arrange staff."
The struggle between the five major Taoist sects and the Evil God Cult has a long history, and the two men are experienced in dealing with it.
It's nothing more than guarding the mountain gate, patrolling Taoist city, contacting the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and taking care of the elite disciples in the sect, as well as the elders who are old and frail, nearing the end of their lifespan, and have no family descendants.
Especially the last one...
"To be safe, don't make a big fuss. Everything will be done after the Taoist Master and the other Hall Masters return."
Han Tong also stood up: "This matter must also be reported to the main peak."
"Ah."
Monk Dou Yue didn't say much. He walked quickly out of the door and headed straight for the main peak of Longshan. Since this matter concerned the guardian of the Evil God Cult, he naturally had to report it.
……
……
The next morning, Li Yuan woke up from his sleep and stretched his muscles, making a crackling sound.
"call!"
He quickly got dressed and washed, then went out carrying the heavy hammer.
"It is said that an assassin sneaked into the Hun Tian Tang last night and wanted to assassinate Uncle Dou Yue."
"Where did the killer come from to be so bold? From Zhaixing Tower?"
"It must be the Zhaixing Tower. Those lunatics even dared to assassinate the emperor..."
Li Yuan went to Chungang Peak first. There were suddenly a lot more disciples patrolling the road. He paid a little attention and heard a lot about what happened last night.
He pretended to be surprised and asked many people, but in fact he knew the answer.
This matter concerns the guardian of the Evil God Cult, and at a time when the Taoist Master and the hall masters are not around, even if he were Monk Dou Yue, he would have to focus on stability.
The correct thing to do is to guard the sect carefully, pass on the letter to the Taoist masters and hall masters, and then search secretly.
“On the surface, only Master is stationed in Longhu Temple now, and he is seriously injured, but there may be other masters lurking in secret.” Li Yuan was clear in his mind.
Even he knew that there was a trump card, so how could Longhu Temple really send out all its forces?
Judging from his own experience, he felt that the Taoist master uncle he had not met yet was probably also a fisherman...
The Chungang Peak was bustling with activity and was not affected at all. There were quite a few disciples coming and going.
Li Yuan opened fire to repair his weapons. At the same time, he was chatting with the disciples nearby, talking about what happened last night and the recent days at the Hundred Beasts Mountain.
"What bad luck! A few days ago, when I was patrolling the mountains, some spirit beast suddenly jumped out of the dense forest and broke my sword with one claw."
A disciple from the Beast Hall had a painful look on his face, and then he put on a smile and said, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Your sword has broken twice, right?"
This is a familiar face. He has come here twice in three months. Li Yuan has some impression of him. He took the sword and weighed it:
"I can repair it, but you can also consider exchanging the old sword for a new one. Provide the iron materials and I will make a new sword for you. It's free and the quality will definitely be better than yours."
"This……"
The disciple was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head and declined: "I have developed feelings for this sword, so I'd rather not change it. I can still use it after some repairs."
Naturally, there are also poor disciples in Longhu Temple.
This poverty is not about lacking dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, but about always having not enough silver to spend because of the busy purchases of elixirs, rice, martial arts, and weapons.
"Put it down. I'll fix it for you when I have time."
Li Yuan took the deal and pretended to ask about the Golden-Eyed Angry Chicken. He had just rejected Zhang Ada yesterday, so he would not come again today.
"Golden-eyed angry chickens? Oh, are they the pair of spiritual chickens that Old Master Jin has?"
The disciple was slightly startled and then he remembered.
"Correct."
Li Yuan put down the hammer.
On Chungang Peak, apart from the disciples of Chungang Peak, the largest number of disciples come from the Hall of Hundred Beasts. They don't all come here to repair weapons, but to sell some minerals, spiritual herbs and the like.
The rules in the Dragon and Tiger Temple are very strict, but not rigidly enforced. Disciples of the Hundred Beasts Mountain are not allowed to kill spiritual beasts privately or pick spiritual medicines from the fields, but the wild plants, or some other things, belong to them.
"Huanglong Villa takes great care of the Golden Eyed Angry Chicken. It is said that the chicken king can lay an egg every month, and its effect is comparable to that of a magic pill..."
"Where is the monthly version? I heard it's the daily version."
"How is it possible to have it every day? However, that Angry Rooster is a golden rooster. Although it is not ranked high on the Ten Thousand Beasts List, it is priceless..."
There were many disciples from various halls outside Li Yuan's forging table. When they heard him asking about the Angry Chicken, many of those who knew about it started talking.
Everyone was arguing, and Li Yuan was listening quietly.
Those who could join the inner sect of Dragon and Tiger were considered the best in a prefecture or county. They all had their own channels of information, and many of them even said more details than what Zhang Ada said yesterday.
Li Yuan didn't even ask, but got the answer he wanted amidst the discussions of the crowd.
"Mr. Huang has a very good personal relationship with Grandmaster Long. I heard that he would send some angry eggs every few years..."
'really……'
Li Yuan calmly extinguished the fire, picked up the forging hammer and headed straight for the main peak of Longshan.
……
The main peak of Longshan.
Inside the small temple, Long Xixiang was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, his eyes slightly squinting, as if he was half asleep.
Monk Dou Yue bowed slightly and talked about what happened last night. He spoke very briefly. After all, no matter how detailed he spoke, he would still forget it later.
"The guardian of the evil god cult?"
Long Xixiang opened his eyes: "Which guardian?"
"This……"
Monk Dou Yue shook his head: "My meaning is that there may be a guardian of the Evil God Cult hidden in Hengshan City. Can you find him out?"
Although there is only one step between blood transfusion mastery and grandmaster level, it is a world of difference.
He asked himself that among all the warriors who had excellent natural talents and the potential to become a master, who among them was not a brilliant talent?
"Find it out?"
Long Xixiang shook his head: "You have been in blood transfusion for many years, how can you ask such a stupid question?"
"The key to a warrior's transformation is to raise the human body to its limit. Only when a warrior reaches this point will he embark on an inhuman path. Only when the blood transfusion is fully developed will the body truly reach that limit..."
Monk Dou Yue bowed and listened. Seeing that he still wanted to say something, he finally couldn't help but said, "You have said it many times."
He came in the morning and reported that by noon there was still no idea. Even Monk Dou Yue, who was so calm, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Oh? Did you tell me that?"
Long Xixiang was somewhat dissatisfied: "You knew that I was forgetful, so why didn't you remind me? It wasted my breath."
"..."
Monk Dou Yue sighed inwardly:
"Just tell me, is there any solution?"
"No."
Long Xixiang shook his head: "The Grandmaster is like a dragon. When he is big, he can fly into the sky, and when he is small, he can hide in the mud. If he really wants to hide, it will be difficult to find his trace unless he is a land immortal..."
"This……"
Monk Dou Yue frowned slightly.
"If he really wants to hide, it won't make much difference whether he comes or not. But if he has other purposes, he will naturally jump out."
Long Xixiang said slowly: "You are not as honest as you were when you were a child. What do you want to borrow? Just tell me directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Monk Dou Yue smiled bitterly: "Disciple would like to borrow the Azure Dragon Robe and the Ancient Elephant Dragon Pestle for use."
"You are so generous that you want to borrow two pieces?"
Long Xixiang glared and scolded, but still waved his hand. A golden light flowed out from the house and fell into Dou Yue's hand with a point of his finger. It was a pure gold cassock.
There are blue dragon patterns on it, which are lifelike.
"Thank you, Master..."
"Go."
Long Xixiang waved his hand and drove him out, and not long after Dou Yue left, Li Yuan also poked his head out of the door:
"Master?"
"Ok?"
Long Xixiang yawned, a little suspicious:
"you are?"
"..."
……
……
The process of dealing with a cheap master is lackluster.
Report your identity, prove your identity, do some research, explain your purpose...
Li Yuan borrowed an egg for an entire afternoon. When he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.
"Finally, we're all here!"
After closing the courtyard door and the room door, he tied up the little mouse that had returned at some point and hung it on the tree outside the door. Li Yuan took a deep breath and put the four blood jars into the water.
And a golden egg was placed on the table.
