Half a day later, at noon, thirty miles outside Sun Moon City, a stooped old man appeared.
He was leaning on a cane and had been lingering here for a long time. This was the old man who took out the "Heavenly Seal Talisman" that day, Hong Wanshan.
Just when he was hesitant, a golden light came rushing from a distance and suddenly hovered over the woods.
The golden light disappeared, and what appeared was a man in black robes.
This person is Qin Shaoyou who just came back for an appointment.
When Hong Wanshan saw the visitor, the smile that was about to appear on his face was suppressed.
"Who are you?!"
He asked with a wary look on his face.
"My Excellency, Hongli, I have met fellow Taoist priests. I guess you are the person from the Tianyin Sect that my friend mentioned, right?"
Qin Shaoyou naturally knows this person, because here in the wilderness, if he is not here to keep an appointment, who would come here to step on ants?
"Hongli?!"
The old man was confused. It turned out that he was not the person he was looking for...
Thinking of this, a sad look appeared on his face. Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
"Where is my friend? Why haven't I seen him?"
Only then did he notice that Xia Ling was not here, which made him very confused.
It's still possible that he ran away, but Xia Ling would never leave without saying goodbye. After all, he still had the other party's soul card in his hand. Even if she ran to the end of the world, once the soul card was broken, she would be wiped out.
"This morning, the fairy made an appointment with me to go out of the city together, but when the time came, I waited for an hour and didn't see her...
"I came to the appointment alone..."
"I thought you were an old friend of mine, but I didn't expect you to be..."
"But don't worry, since I agreed to come, I will naturally not go back on my word. I will still hand over the sealing talisman to you today."
With that said, Hong Wanshan actually took out the jade handkerchief.
But in fact, Qin Shaoyou's real purpose for asking him to come was not just to obtain the Tianyin Talisman, but more importantly, to know what happened between the Tianyin Sect and the Qin family in Beiling.
"Fellow Taoist, your words are serious. Since my friend is the one pulling the strings, I can naturally trust you."
"There is a courtyard not far from here. That is my temporary residence. Fellow Taoist, you can follow me there and I will perform magic on you to increase your life!"
After Mr. Qin finished talking, he turned around and flew back. On the way here, he saw a recently abandoned courtyard. After briefly tidying it up, he used it as a formal meeting place.
Hong Wanshan sighed secretly, and then he also took off into the air and disappeared above the woods.
After about a stick of incense, he saw the small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, with only two entrances and two exits. At this time, Qin Shaoyou had already set up a long table in the courtyard and made a pot of tea.
This action cannot be described as disadvantageous.
"Come down, fellow Taoist, it's just you and me here, don't worry."
Hong Wanshan nodded, his heart skipped a beat and then fell.
After he landed, Qin Shaoyou raised his hand and waved lightly, the wind shadow phantom formation was activated, and the courtyard disappeared into the woods.
"Fellow Taoist is so thoughtful!"
Hong Wanshan couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Just because I have no intention of harming others does not mean that others have no intention of harming me, thank you for your precautions. It's always right..."
Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly and made an invitation to sit down. The latter nodded and sat down. Qin Shaoyou then poured him a cup of tea.
"This is holly tea from Qinghai Prefecture. Although it is just a mortal thing, it is also a rare good thing. Come and try it, fellow Taoist?"
He invited meaningfully.
Sure enough, after hearing the words "Qinghai Mansion", Hong Wanshan's face clearly showed many complicated emotions, including anger, helplessness, and...fear...
The old man thought about it and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Fellow Taoist, your name is Hongli? Do you know a monk named Hongyue?"
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be confused and replied:
"Hongyue? I've never heard of it..."
"Hehehe, there are a lot of people with the same name and surname in the world, let alone just the same surname. What, the old man is looking for someone?"
Hong Wanshan nodded, sighed and replied:
"To be honest, my name is Hong Wanshan, and Hong Yue is my unfilial son. Since he left alone thirty-eight years ago, I have searched here all the way, but still can't find any trace of him..."
Qin Shaoyou was secretly shocked, it turned out that this man was Hong Yue's father!
Hongyue claimed to be a disciple of the Tianyin Sect, but Hong Wanshan had a manuscript of the Tianyin Talisman in his hand. Qin Shaoyou could guess the rough idea after careful consideration.
"Old people, don't worry too much. The world is vast and boundless. It's understandable for your children to want to go out and see the world when they grow up. Don't worry, when they get homesick, they will come back naturally..."
Qin Shaoyou comforted him without changing his expression, and he was really helpless when he said this. He couldn't tell him the truth, could he?
"What my fellow Taoist said makes sense and makes you laugh."
"It's okay, fellow Taoist, have a cup of tea first, and I'll look through this Heavenly Seal Talisman first."
Qin Shaoyuan said, and took the jade handkerchief that Hong Wanshan had placed on the table. The latter's lips trembled slightly, but he did not stop it.
Now that we are here, if we talk about any other conditions, it will only add to the unhappiness.
It didn't take long, just a few dozen breaths, and Qin Shaoyou completed the inspection.
"Yes, this thing is of great help to me. According to the agreement, I will use the magic to increase your life. This is the Pill of Strengthening the Origin and Building the Yuan. You should take it first."
Qin Shaoyou pretended to take out an elixir. In fact, he didn't need to go to such trouble. He could directly use the healing technique to heal any injury, but there was obviously no need to do so now.
Hong Wanshan nodded, simply ignored it and swallowed the pill in one mouthful.
He was already nearing his end of life and had nothing of value on him. I thought that this "young" looking "young man" would not have any thoughts about him, an old man who was about to die.
Seeing that Hong Wanshan had already begun to convert his luck into medicine, Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly, reached out a hand, and put two fingers on the old man's wrist.
The latter was a little confused at first, but then his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Qin Shaoyou with horror in his eyes.
A warm current, starting from his wrist, slowly poured into his old body, like dew after a long drought, slowly nourishing him. The warm current was like a spiritual power, but it was not spiritual power. It could even "
"Command" The spiritual power in his body traveled throughout his body following a special flow rule.
Wherever the warm current passed, all kinds of hidden injuries were restored. Even his left leg, which was disabled due to fighting with others in his early years, was repaired by the warm current!
This is truly astonishing!
"Senior...Senior is really kind-hearted!"
Hong Wanshan's eyes changed when he looked at Qin Shaoyou. He was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Previously, Qin Shaoyou had been able to hide his own spiritual power fluctuations and maintain the appearance of being in the Foundation Establishment stage, making the former think that Qin Shaoyou was at the same level of cultivation as him.
, and now Hongwanshan has officially felt the powerful and terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations in Qin Shaoyou's body!
After about a stick of incense, Qin Shaoyou took his hand back.
"This matter is a trivial matter to me. I just hope that the old man can keep it a secret for me."
Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly and raised his glass to drink.
Hong Wanshan was shocked. How dare he go out and talk nonsense? Qin Shaoyou is his savior!
"I don't dare to think of myself as old, senior, just call me Xiao Hong!"
Qin Shaoyou:....
"Hehehe, fellow Taoist Wanshan, you don't have to be so cautious. Now I've healed your hidden wounds, and I've also raised some energy and blood for you. It's not a problem to extend your life by ten years. Then I'll keep this Heavenly Seal Talisman.
Got off."
"Senior please!"
Hong Wanshan said with a blushing smile.
"However, although I got this Heavenly Seal Talisman, I am missing the inner magic. It is really a pity..."
Qin Shaoyou paused and sighed meaningfully.
Hong Wanshan looked embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately bowed his hands and replied:
"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to, but that...I don't have the will..."
A flash of wisdom flashed out of the corner of Qin Shaoyou's eyes, and he walked down the slope and asked:
"Can you elaborate?"
Hong Wanshan sighed sadly and slowly told the story.
It turned out that more than forty years ago, the lord of the Northern Territory, the Beiling Qin family, sent people to the Tianyin Sect and asked the Tianyin Sect's sect leader to lead the two elders with the highest cultivation levels in the sect to the Qinghai Mansion to help them arrange it.
A defensive barrier, and promised to give a sixth-grade earth-level magic weapon as a thank you gift after the completion of the project.
There was a lot of discussion among the Tianyin Sect about this. Some said it was the Hongmen Banquet and could not be attended, but others said it was a good opportunity to revitalize the sect.
In the end they decided to keep the appointment.
Tianyin Sect is good at making talismans and arranging magic formations, but it is a third-rate immortal cultivation sect that is not popular. The Qin family actually invited many other sects to go with them that time, but for some unknown reason, in the end, only the Tianyin Sect was not included.
return.
At this time, everyone in the Tianyin Sect was immediately panicked. Unexpectedly, the next day, a "Demon Killing Order" was issued on the sacred mountain. It was said that the Tianyin Sect practiced magic and harmed the common people, and ordered the entire Tianyin Sect to be destroyed.
kill!
At that time, Hongyue happened to be out training and did not report his whereabouts to the sect, so he escaped. This Hongwanshan was a rogue cultivator, so naturally he was not within the scope of the "Devil-Slaying Order".
Originally, the misfortune of this sect should not extend to Hong Yue. At most, he could just leave like Qin Shaoyou. But the bad thing is that Hong Yue has long thought that this person will die.
In the hands of Qin family monks...
Hong Yue was devastated, but what could he do in the face of this behemoth that occupied the twenty-seven mansions in the northern region of Daming Continent?
Despite this, he still wanted to try his best to find out the truth of that year. After many inquiries, he finally learned from a person who participated in the formation that it was two elders of Tianyin Sect who broke the rules and spied on without permission.
It was the things in the defensive formation that led to the annihilation of the family...
When everyone learned the truth, they could only sigh secretly.
Also, it's not good to offend anyone, but he chose to offend the Qin family. What Tian Yin Zong did was not honest because of emotions and reasons.
If you use money to do things, then just do them well. Why do you have to be curious?
With such rumors circulating among the public, most of the people's sympathy for the Heavenly Demon Sect has been reduced.
Later, Hongyue left a letter, but there was no information from then on. Hongwanshan followed him all the way until he was almost gone to Xishan...
And this "Heavenly Seal Talisman" was left behind by Hongyue back then.
After the old man finished speaking, his face burst into tears.
Qin Shaoyou's eyes moved slightly.
He had long guessed that Hong Yue wanted to kill everyone on Haigui Island that day, and he probably had no motive. Now it seems that Hong Yue and the Beiling Qin family have such a bloody feud. If he wants to kill people, it must be Qin.
Home people!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that Hong Yue saw his identity?
No!
impossible!
He himself couldn't confirm his identity, so how could Hongyue know?
