Chapter 725: Bait

~15 min read 2,824 words

'Minghui... so familiar...'

This name fell into Li Ximing's ears, making him show some memories. After all, he was a Zifu. As long as he had heard a little bit before, he could immediately recall it. He was suddenly enlightened:

"So it's from Lord Murong Xia's side!"

When Lord Murong Xia went south to prove the Dao, he didn't dare to take the Sword Sect-Xiukui road, presumably afraid of stimulating that spiritual pine True Person, and didn't dare to take the Xuanyue-Ziyan road, afraid of being beaten to death by True Person Zipei. He took the Qingchi road, and after crossing the river, he arrived at our family first.

At that time, Lord Murong Xia had some small conflicts with his family, and Li Tongya also made a move, but was blocked by a Lotus Temple mage. This mage was called Minghui, and it should be this one in the rumors.

'How can I say it counts as having had a dispute, and our family has hatred upon hatred with the Buddhist cultivators, so it's better not to see him!'

He stepped and prepared to step into the Great Void, but saw a person rising in the middle of the market, white-haired, dressed in black, looking really not like a good thing. The expression was still respectful. When he arrived at the front, he bowed:

"Ordered by my family's Old Master, I am here to wait for the True Person. He has been waiting in 【Yebai Pavilion】 for a long time. Please follow me."

Li Ximing glanced at him, feeling a little strange in his heart:

"A Foundation Establishment can also see my trace. It is undoubtedly Changyun's guidance... What divine power is used to make him see it."

"It's just that I have never heard that True Person Changyun has the ability of art calculation... He can actually know that I am coming? Not to mention calculating the trace of Zifu, at least he can calculate the intention related to him. This art calculation has reached an astonishing level."

So he withdrew his gaze, stayed on the black-robed old man for a moment, and asked:

"True Person Changyun has good art calculation. He knew I was coming to visit."

This old man was still a bit nervous, hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Reporting to the True Person, my family's Old Master passed down an order, saying that a certain True Person would come to visit today, but didn't say which one..."

Li Ximing felt that it was much more reasonable. Since Changyun sent someone, he was too lazy to run back and forth, just said:

"Lead the way."

The black-robed old man bowed immediately and led the way in front. Li Ximing glanced at him, the heavenly light at his brow moved slightly, and said as if unintentionally:

"I see that the spiritual energy of Chengshui Ze is prosperous and spiritual objects are abundant. It is a good place to raise people. There should be many figures in recent years!"

The True Person spoke, and the old man didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly said:

"Reporting to the True Person, in recent years, several aristocratic families have emerged in Jiangbei, and many rogue cultivators have achieved Immortal Foundations, scattering north and south. There are also many paths in the north sending people to Chengshui Ze to collect Qi."

"Oh?"

Li Ximing asked:

"Since the spiritual energy is so abundant, and this place is full of talents, is the blood-Qi method of the East Sea no longer used?"

The old man nodded repeatedly:

"Exactly. The Sect Master and the True Person gave orders long ago. Now it is not the time of the East Sea. My family is a righteous sect of the righteous path. Not only are those who practice blood-Qi sent to the East Sea to station, but those whose demonic skills are not so heavy have also converged. On weekdays, disciples go out to eliminate demons and subdue demons, and govern the Chengshui Ze area cleanly. Demonic cultivators are almost extinct."

"Now the people are migrating to my Chengshui, and there is some reputation in Jiangbei. My Chengyun Sect is the most famous one for eliminating demons and defending the Dao!"

A flattering smile appeared on the old man's face:

"The True Person can ask people here. Whether it is rogue cultivators, clan cultivators, common people, or disciples, everyone knows that my Chengyun Sect is the number one righteous path in Jiangbei!"

Li Ximing listened, feeling complex in his heart. This person dared to guarantee in front of him. Chengyun Sect is likely to be the number one righteous path in Jiangbei. These demonic cultivator stories, killing people to take blood to refine pills, are all buried in the endless pile of dead people they killed:

"These demonic cultivator elders who have eaten people all their lives, swallowing and spitting spiritual energy in the peak for a hundred years, changing their faces, have become righteous elders. Who cares? The people who are grateful to them, the rogue cultivators who were saved by them? The descendants of Chengyun Sect themselves will not remember."

"The world is clear and turbid, and it is impossible to calculate, nothing more than this."

Yebai Mountain.

Yebai Mountain is the highest place in Chengshui Ze. Chengshui Ze was once the imperial mausoleum of Ning State, and this Yebai Mountain is the center of the imperial mausoleum. Chengyun Sect occupies this place, so it built a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and according to the place name, it is called Yebai Pavilion.

It is said to be a pavilion, but this pavilion covers a large area, winding and folding. The main pavilion is surprisingly large. A young man is sitting in the main seat, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a white feather black mysterious pattern robe, lined with a light-collared white soft armor, a saber at his waist, and a jade gourd in his hand.

Opposite him, sitting is a kind-looking, slightly fat monk, wearing a brown-yellow robe, looking at the jade cup, laughing:

"Daoist Changyun! If I calculate correctly, this Daoist friend will arrive here within an hour."

True Person Changyun's gaze stayed on the jade pot in his hand. After a few breaths, he seemed to have noticed something, and only then said:

"Daoist Minghui has good art calculation."

The monk Minghui laughed, replied:

"Although the old monk failed to ascend to the Jinlian Mohe position, he is not without gains. He proved the non-retreating ground under the Jinlian Mohe Release Earth Lotus Seat, and there is a position left above. Spend some time to boil it, Jinlian Mohe can be expected!"

True Person Changyun paused slightly, replied:

"Daoist has good luck. Where can ordinary mage cultivation cultivate such a good life? He is the first disciple of the Lotus and the envoy to the south. In those years, the north advanced, the upper yuan made a move, and Jinlian Jinlian Mohe spared his face and used the lives of other Eyed Lianmin to block it, just to give the mage the name of the peaceful and dangerous mage. Naturally, Jinlian Mohe is in sight!"

The monk laughed:

"Fellow Daoist Minghui has good calculation."

"Daoist look at that Void Mage of the North-South dispute, there is no position for him in the empty path, he is holding back and refusing to become a Eyed Lianmin, killing all the Qingchi cultivators in Bianyan Mountain to prove the non-retreating ground, and only proved to the Golden Lotus Seat, and has a position with me..."

The monk laughed, said:

"In the end, I have to thank my Jinlian Mohe for looking up to me!"

True Person Changyun didn't think so in his heart. He didn't have a good impression of monks, but Minghui was the eighth-life Jinlian Mohe's first disciple, and Minghui was also a person who had set the Jinlian Mohe position, so he couldn't underestimate him, and responded with a smile. Only then did he see the voice coming from outside the hall:

"True Person, please!"

The two raised their eyebrows at the same time, seeing a person enter from outside the hall.

This person was a young man, wearing a white-bottomed golden-patterned Daoist robe, with a dignified appearance and a gentle temperament, and a little heavenly light at his brow flickering.

True Person Changyun paused slightly, feeling his Mingyang divine power, and said tentatively:

"Daoist Zhaojing?"

Li Ximing arched his hands and returned the salute, laughing:

"Seen True Person Changyun!"

Hearing this, Changyun immediately stood up from the main seat, walked down with a smile, and said:

"Zhong Qian, that kid, said that the Daoist would come to visit. I waited and waited, and finally looked forward to the Daoist!"

Zhong Qian not only had a fate with Li Xuanfeng, but was also very polite to the Li family, and gave enough face when he was called Zifu. Li Ximing naturally was polite, and also responded with a smile. Changyun signaled him to sit at the side seat, and reached out to Minghui:

"This is Zhaojing True Person of Wangyue Li."

Minghui actually only raised his head, glanced at it, and sat lazily on the side. Li Ximing's aura was clearly a newly promoted Zifu, so he didn't have to give much face, thinking in his heart:

'Oh... which immortal clan... Wangyue Li...'

"Wangyue Li?!"

The monk's pupils dilated.

Changyun turned to look at Li Ximing and introduced him:

"This is True Person Zhaojing of the Wangyue Li clan."

Minghui actually only raised his head, glanced at him, and sat lazily to the side. Li Ximing's aura looked like he had just entered the Zifu stage, so he didn't need to give much face. He thought in his heart:

Minghui suppressed the impulse to turn around and run, the horror in his heart was unknown to anyone, and the chill rushed to his brow bone, thinking:

'Mother... World-Honored is kind... it's that Li family!'

Minghui went to Wangyue Lake in those years, just calculated it, almost calculated himself to death, and sacrificed the most precious magic treasure to escape back, even causing Jinlian to be implicated!

Minghui felt that there was no one in the world who knew the ins and outs better than him. Jinlian herself had no memory, just listened to Minghui's vague talk, and already felt terrified. And Minghui witnessed with his own eyes how fragile the seventh-life Jinlian Mohe Jinlian was in the hands of the other party like a mortal!

This matter not only left an indelible shadow on Minghui, but also brought trauma to Jinlian that seriously affected subsequent planning, and finally caused Minghui to fail in impacting Jinlian Mohe...

If the mage of the seven phases wants to go further, either he obediently acts as a Eyed Lianmin, or he takes a big step to Jinlian Mohe. The former is already extremely difficult. If he can please Jinlian Mohe, there is still a chance. First, prove a Eyed Lianmin under the lowest Satva seat, and only have to endure with the remaining time, hoping to get the favor of the superiors, push the non-retreating ground bit by bit, and see if he can pick up a position.

The latter is even more difficult. First, he must get all kinds of life number blessings, make great contributions to the Release Law, and second, there must be positions and Jinlian Mohe support in his own Pure Land, only then is it possible to take the Jinlian Mohe path.

Jinlian's injury concerns the soul and divine power, directly shaking the Jinlian Mohe position. Fortunately, Minghui's foundation is deep, and Jinlian in the Pure Land fully supports him, so he retreated to the second best, and proved a Eyed Lianmin under the highest Golden Lotus seat. If not, Minghui would probably waste a lot of preparation and have several hundred years of cultivation time in vain!

Minghui and Jinlian had long reached a consensus, not daring to think about this matter. Minghui even had a vague feeling in his heart that Jinlian fully supported him, also meaning to pull accomplices onto the boat. Now facing Li Ximing, this attitude is neither good nor bad!

Li Ximing was prepared to stick a cold butt, who knew that the monk in front of him sat up straight, showing a sincere smile, saying:

"So it is Zhaojing True Person, the little monk Minghui! Long admired, long admired!"

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. Minghui immediately followed up, saying:

"I went south in my early years, fought with your clan's elders several times, and was moved by his style, admiring him extremely!"

Li Ximing's expression was strange. Changyun found it funny in his heart, explaining:

Minghui and Jinlian had long reached a consensus and didn't dare to think about this matter. Minghui even had a faint feeling in his heart that Jinlian supporting him with all his might also meant pulling a fellow party member onto the boat. Now facing Li Ximing, his attitude was that he didn't dare to be good, nor did he dare to be bad.

Li Ximing understood. This one was an enemy of anger and emptiness, and he was enlightened in his heart:

"Although most of the Release cultivators are smelly dog shit, this one is obviously not smelly with the previous ones, and has the potential of Jinlian Mohe, no wonder Changyun still sees him."

He nodded slightly. Minghui laughed, emboldening himself, saying:

"I calculated early that a Daoist friend would come to visit Changyun Daoist today, but he was half-believing..."

Changyun nodded. He obviously didn't want to pull out the things he originally discussed with Minghui, and immediately interrupted:

"It is my underestimation of the Eyed Lianmin's art calculation, but I don't know... Daoist, you came here, is there anything to explain?"

Li Ximing naturally had to ask about Xiaoshi Mountain, but was afraid that Minghui didn't know, so he let him know in vain, just said:

"It is the matter of the Fanyun Cave path."

Minghui on the side laughed, emboldening himself, saying:

"So it is for Xiaoshi Mountain!"

Changyun smiled very casually, but the words in his mouth were a bit chilling:

"Xiaoshi Mountain has a share for those who see it, and there are good things in the array. Zhaojing has mastered the Fuyun Cave path, so naturally he has this share. Xiaoshi Mountain was broken by the empty path, and it was also the result of the Yue hidden, so this matter... North Release also knows."

Li Ximing gradually understood, asking:

"Since this is the case, how to open this array?"

"Xiaoshi Mountain Miyun, has five paths, three of which are the three sects of Miyun today, namely 'Fuyun Body', 'Hurricane Ghost Yin' and 'Empty Response Scatter'. If the remaining two paths can be gathered, we can move the treasures of Xiaoshi Mountain."

Li Ximing thought for a moment, and said pointedly:

"Does Xiaoshi Mountain have many paths scattered outside?"

"Exactly!"

Changyun laughed very casually, but the words in his mouth were a bit chilling:

"Zhaojing is right. The three sects of Miyun are just hooks. The remaining two paths of Xiaoshi Mountain are scattered in all directions, and I don't know where they fell, but they are very likely in the East Sea."

"As long as Jiangbei still has the name of these three sects, holding the name of Xiaoshi Mountain Miyun, those descendants who have achieved positive results will definitely come back to find... whether it is to supplement the path, find relatives, have nowhere to go, or just to find a background, in reason, they must come back to see."

"This is the bait thrown into the river, just waiting for them to bite the hook!"

"The Mifan of Xiaoshi Mountain has five lineages, three of which are the current Mifan Three Sects, namely 'Floating Cloud Body,' 'Hurricane Ghost Yin,' and 'Empty Response Scatter.' If the other two lineages can be gathered, one can move the treasures of Xiaoshi Mountain."

Li Ximing pondered for a moment and said pointedly:

"Does Xiaoshi Mountain have many lineages scattered outside?"

"Exactly!"

Changyun smiled very casually, but the words in his mouth made people feel a bit cold:

"Zhaojing guessed right. The Mifan Three Sects are just hooks. The remaining two lineages of Xiaoshi Mountain are scattered in all directions. I don't know where they fell, but it is very likely in the East Sea."

"As long as Jiangbei still has the reputation of these three sects, bearing the name of Xiaoshi Mountain Mifan, those descendants who have obtained the lineages and achieved success will definitely come back to seek... whether it is to supplement the lineage, seek relatives, have no way out, or even just to find a background, in reason and emotion, they must come back to see."

"This is bait thrown into the river, just waiting for them to take the hook!"
