Bai Qingzhou found the location information about Old Man Hanyin in Zhuxie. It was in a very inconspicuous cave on the border of Jiuzhen Domain and Zhulin Domain.
This cave was accidentally discovered by a monk from the Zhulin Area's Evil Exorcism Society, so he was going to the Zhulin Area now to find the monk and conduct detailed questioning in person.
After bidding farewell to Wu Jingfu and the others, Bai Qingzhou did not stop at all and flew non-stop all the way. If his spiritual energy was insufficient, he would descend to the ground to meditate and adjust his breath to quickly restore his spiritual energy.
Racing against time all the way, it took him more than two months to finally reach his destination.
...
Guchang Mansion, Zhulin District.
A hazy mountain seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, and its shadows are blurry, far and near in the misty clouds and smoke, almost as if they are far away, like a few strokes of light ink smeared on the blue sky.
At the foot of the misty mountain, there is a simple archway with dragons, tigers and elephants carved on it, giving people a sense of majesty.
This archway is the mountain gate of the Zhulin branch of the Zhuxie Society.
Bai Qingzhou had just handed over the greeting card. At this moment, he was standing under the archway with one hand tied behind his back, waiting quietly.
After checking the files in Shuntian City, he knew that the monk passing by who discovered Hanyin Old Man's Cave was named Ren Yishuang, and she was a female foundation-building monk.
And now, he just wants to visit this person...
After a stick of incense.
A person jumped up quickly on the mountaineering trail. It was the gatekeeper monk who had just gone to report. He quickly came to Bai Qingzhou, bowed respectfully, and said with cupped hands:
"Senior, I have informed Elder Ren of your visit. Now please follow me to the lobby and wait for a moment..."
Bai Qingzhou nodded lightly and said calmly: "Okay, please lead the way."
Under the guidance of the gatekeeper monk, Bai Qingzhou began to walk along the hiking trail and walked towards the mountain.
Unlike Suncheon City, the Zhuxie Society in Guchangfu was not established in a lively and noisy place, but in a deserted area around it.
Not only are there very few imperial dynasties in the nearby cities, but even the family towns at the foot of the mountain are sparsely populated, with only a few hundred people.
Bai Qingzhou walked and looked at the scenery. Accompanied by the crisp sound of birds chirping, he quickly climbed up to the mountain gate and walked into a hospitality hall led by the gatekeeper monk.
After the gatekeeper monk thoughtfully offered a cup of spiritual tea, he bowed his hands and left respectfully.
Seeing this, Bai Qingzhou sat quietly in the lobby seat, drinking tea leisurely and waiting.
He didn't let him wait long. After Bai Qingzhou only took two sips of tea, a woman rushed in.
After she came in, she glanced at the lobby. When she saw Bai Qingzhou, she rushed directly in front of him and asked loudly:
"Hey! I heard you were looking for me? Who are you?"
Bai Qingzhou's face was stunned. Looking at the hot-tempered female cultivator in front of him, he put down the tea cup in his hand at a loss.
He quickly stood up, gave a slight salute, and said, "Hello, fellow Taoist, I'm Bai Qingzhou. I'm here to visit Ren Yishuang of your association."
"Oh——" the woman let out a long oh, then turned sideways and sat down on a chair nearby.
Until then, Bai Qingzhou took a closer look at the woman's face, and saw that her face was radiant, her features were picturesque, and her eyes were so bright that they were as big as black and her eyes were moving around. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Before Bai Qingzhou could speak, he heard the bright woman say carelessly:
"I am Ren Yishuang, what do you want from me?"
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist!" Knowing that the woman in front of him was the foundation-building monk he was looking for, Bai Qingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly:
"That's it, Fellow Taoist Ren, I came here this time to ask for something. Please observe this thing first..."
With that said, Bai Qingzhou took out a small wooden sign and handed it to Ren Yishuang.
This wooden sign is the identity certificate that Wu Jingfu obtained for him from Qi Ying. As long as he holds this wooden sign, he can quickly prove his identity.
Sure enough, after Ren Yishuang took the wooden sign and took a closer look,
He immediately said: "It turns out to be Master Qi's badge. Have you ever gone to see Master Qi?"
"Yes," Bai Qingzhou nodded slowly, sat back on the chair, and continued: "I have been tracking down an evil cultivator. Not long ago, I went to Shuntian City to find Senior Qi. She told me that this person had been under your jurisdiction.
This place has appeared before, so I was asked to come here to inquire."
Ren Yishuang raised the teapot on the table and pointed the spout directly at her mouth. The tea was poured directly into her mouth. She took a big sip, then wiped her mouth and laughed:
"Hahaha, you are quite persistent. Does this evil cultivator have a big grudge against you?"
Looking at the heroic Ren Yishuang, Bai Qingzhou was secretly speechless. He really didn't expect that such a beautiful woman could be so carefree and unrestrained.
But after hearing her question, Bai Qingzhou replied seriously:
"This person has a deep hatred for me!"
"Okay, then tell me what the name of this evil cultivator is, and I'll help you find it in the file room."
Bai Qingzhou said slowly: "This man's real name is Li Huo. After he became a demon cultivator, he was called the Hanyin Old Man."
"Is it him?" Ren Yishuang's expression tightened, he slowly put down the teapot in his hand, and frowned: "If it's him, then I don't need to look for the file. I still remember everything about him clearly."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou's heart was slightly raised, and he asked nervously: "Fellow Daoist Ren, could you tell me how you discovered him that day?"
When Bai Qingzhou looked at the files in Shuntian City that day, he found that the description of what happened on that day was not clear. What happened was just a stroke. Bai Qingzhou only had a partial understanding of the specific things.
"Of course you can!" Ren Yishuang readily agreed, then paused, took another sip of tea, and then said slowly:
"That day, I had some business to go to the Jiuzhen Realm. After I took care of it, I planned to return. However, on the way back, my spiritual energy was exhausted, so I went down and found a random place to restore my spiritual energy..."
"While I was adjusting my breath, four or five young mortals came walking down the official road. Nothing much happened, but one of them, who didn't know the heights of the world, dared to raise his hand to me, so I just killed him...
..."
"After the killing, the other people ran away, and I didn't take it seriously. But not long after, a young man among the people who escaped sneaked back and cried to me that there were evil cultivators not far ahead. They
People were captured to work there, please ask me to go and rescue them..."
"When monks like me encounter this kind of thing, we must not stand by and watch, so I went to investigate. I originally wanted to do it myself, but I found that there was the aura of the golden elixir monk there. I was no match at all, so in order not to alert the snake, I
I will discuss it with the young man..."
"Let him hide his identity first and continue to hide inside. Let me go back and call someone. But when I came back to call the helmsman and came to the cave again, there was no one there, and the young man died tragically on the spot.
...."
"This is what happened."
After listening to the narration, Bai Qingzhou was thoughtful, thought for a while, and then asked: "Then how did you know that the person was Hanyin Old Man?"
"Alas..." Ren Yishuang sighed and said slowly: "That Hanyin old man was extremely violent. After he noticed that we had found their traces, he stayed away without saying a word. He also took hundreds of people from a nearby village.
He killed all the people and put their names on their heads, so we knew it was him..."
"Hiss—" Bai Qingzhou took a breath of cold air and said in shock: "Is this person so arrogant?"
"Yes!" Ren Yishuang gritted his teeth, but after a pause, his expression changed, and he said helplessly: "Although this man is arrogant, he is also very cautious. We will not be able to find him for a while...
".
Bai Qingzhou pondered for a moment and guessed: "Since this person has such an arrogant personality, he might still stay around there!"
Ren Yishuang nodded: "I think so too, but the area is too big, and it's really difficult to find someone in the vast mountains and forests!"
Bai Qingzhou touched his chin,
Thinking about it, he murmured to himself: "There should be a way, there should be a way..."
Ren Yishuang shook his head helplessly, "If you want to take revenge, you may not have a chance now."
Before he finished speaking, a young man's voice suddenly came from outside the lobby.
"Master, are you okay?"
The voice seemed to be that of a boy who had just turned ten years old. He called out cautiously outside the door.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou was a little stunned and couldn't help but look at Ren Yishuang.
Ren Yishuang quickly stood up with a slight apology on his face and said, "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I have something to do today and need to go out, so I can't spend more time with you."
"Ah?" Bai Qingzhou stood up quickly and asked, "Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere. It's just that there seems to be some evil cultivator causing trouble somewhere. I plan to go and investigate with my disciple." Ren Yishuang shook his shoulders and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou said quickly: "Can the fellow Taoist tell me the specific location of the cave? I will go and look for clues myself."
"Huh?" Ren Yishuang said with a puzzled look on his face: "That place has been destroyed by Old Man Hanyin. We also searched there, but we couldn't find anything. Even if you go, you won't be able to find anything."
Returned with success..."
Bai Qingzhou shook his head and said firmly, "It doesn't matter, I just want to take a look."
He would not let go of clues that were difficult to come by so easily. He would have to go to the field to search for them.
Ren Yishuang stood there and thought for a while, then looked at Bai Qingzhou carefully, and then said: "Then I will take you there. The place we are going to is also on the way to the cave, so we can go together."
Bai Qingzhou's face lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said: "That's great!"
With Ren Yishuang personally leading the way, there is no possibility of going the wrong way. This is indeed good news for Bai Qingzhou.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Ren Yishuang waved his hand very simply and neatly: "Then let's leave now!"
After saying that, she walked out of the lobby directly, followed closely by Bai Qingzhou.
Then Ren Yishuang found the child who had just made the noise by the wall outside.
This is a child of about ten years old, with red lips and white teeth, a pair of watery eyes under the curved eyebrows, and slightly red cheeks on both sides. He looks very cute and well-behaved.
After Ren Yishuang's introduction, Bai Qingzhou learned that this boy was her apprentice named Yue Yuan.
After standing at the entrance of the lobby and exchanging a few words, the two of them took off without delay and flew towards the outside of the mountain. This chapter has been completed!
