Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lin Dongjiu gave a few more instructions, then stayed no longer and said goodbye to Xu Ming.
Moreover, when he left, Elder Xu Ming personally sent him down the mountain.
After spending almost half an hour at Spiritual Formation Peak, Lin Dongjiu went straight to the next stop.
Elder Xia Rong’s Yangxing Peak!
I still remember that the last time he was chased by Chen Yi, it was Elder Xia Rong's amulet that saved his life.
On Yangxing Peak, Lin Dongjiu met with Elder Xia Rong and briefly explained the purpose of coming.
He wanted to work with Elder Xia Rong to develop a talisman, a talisman that could uncover undercover agents in the Demon Palace.
The list given to him by Die Huanyi only recorded some of the important informants placed by the Demon Palace in the five major sects, but there was no record of the undercover agents placed among ordinary disciples.
As for how to develop this kind of talisman, Lin Dongjiu's idea was to combine his talisman with Elder Xia Rong's talisman technique.
As he further developed the runes, he discovered that one of the functions of the runes was to detect evil energy.
In fact, this is not a function of the runes. It can be said that Lin Dongjiu made a complete coincidence.
Runes can absorb demonic energy. If the runes are touched by a demon, the runes will actively absorb the demonic energy from the demon's body and emit a bright black light. In this way, it will be clear who is the demon in disguise.
If this kind of talisman can be successfully developed, he not only wants to mass-produce and promote it within the sect, but also wants to promote it in the four major sects and even the whole country.
However, the consequences of this incident are too unpredictable. Once the talisman comes out, it will inevitably trigger a strong backlash from the Demon Palace, and the direction of the situation will be far beyond his control.
So he didn't want to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary, he just wanted to have a backup plan.
Lin Dongjiu condensed a rune and showed it to Elder Xia Rong, asking him if he could carve this rune on the talisman.
Although Elder Xia Rong was very interested in Lin Dongjiu's idea, he did not dare to give it a try and only said that he would try his best.
Anyway, Lin Dongjiu is not in a hurry about the talisman. This is just a back-up he left behind, and it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not.
Of course, the rune template he gave to Elder Xia Rong was also modified. Otherwise, if someone else used the rune to detect the presence of demonic energy in someone's body, it would be a disaster if he, the inventor, detected it!
Therefore, Lin Dongjiu took advantage of the drawback that the demonic energy in the demon's body was mixed with resentment. The modified runes could only detect impure demonic energy.
He and Elder Xia Rong made several attempts, and although the results were not satisfactory, they were finally able to imprint the runes on the talisman.
At dusk, Lin Dongjiu bid farewell to Elder Xia Rong and set off towards the last stop of the day, Elder Lan Qiong's Bright Moon Peak!
Before we reach the Bright Moon Peak, we can hear the melodious "ding-dong" sound of forging iron on the peak echoing in our ears.
He could even imagine Elder Lan Qiong wearing a short shirt, tying up his long hair, and forging iron with a sledgehammer.
"No wonder Elder Xu Ming couldn't defeat Elder Lan Qiong. The sound of the iron making my heart tremble!"
If these two people are successful, one day when the young couple fights, Elder Xu Ming will be hammered to death by Elder Lan Qiong... Lin Dongjiu mourned a few seconds of silence for Xu Ming, put on a smile and went up to Bright Moon Peak.
While walking on the mountain road, several female disciples looked at him from a distance, looking shy and timid, as if they did not dare to come forward to say hello to him.
I heard that Elder Lan Qiong only accepts female disciples, but these little girls have thin arms and legs, can they swing a sledgehammer?
Lin Dongjiu cursed secretly and nodded to them as a greeting.
After taking a brief look at these female disciples, I saw that these female disciples had beautiful faces and were not wearing makeup. Although they were not famous in the world of immortality where there were so many beauties, in the secular world, they were definitely the ones that countless people were vying to marry.
object.
When these female disciples saw Lin Dongjiu greeting them, they immediately smiled and chattered quietly.
They pushed each other, and finally a pretty female disciple was pushed out and walked towards Lin Dongjiu with a blushing face.
Lin Dongjiu stopped, his eyes slightly doubtful.
"Junior brother Lin, are you here to see our master?"
The young senior sister blushed so much that she didn't dare to look at Lin Dongjiu, so she just asked timidly.
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "That's right, I have something to discuss with Elder Lan Qiong. If senior sister doesn't mind, I can ask senior sister to help lead the way."
"Ah...okay!"
The young senior sister was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Lin Dongjiu to be so approachable, and she responded happily.
Lin Dongjiu followed her to the top of the peak and saw Lan Qiong in the pergola, with one foot on the forging furnace and a sledgehammer in his hand to hit a piece of black iron that was burned red.
The fire was raging, and Lan Qiong was so fragrant that she was covered in sweat. Drops of sweat slid from her forehead and fell straight into the ravine between her chest, but she didn't pay attention and just wiped it with her hands, which seemed a bit bold.
"My master, she will enter a state of total selflessness when she is forging iron. She usually pays attention to her image."
The little senior sister quickly explained something for her master in a low voice, and then shouted: "Master! Junior Brother Lin is here to see you!"
"I know!"
Elder Lan Qiong hammered the black iron twice more, then put down the sledgehammer in his hand, turned around and walked out of the pergola.
"Junior Brother Lin, I'll leave first!"
The young senior sister smiled and bowed to Lin Dongjiu, and before leaving, she gave him a very subtle wink.
Lin Dongjiu was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands and thanked her, thinking in his heart, if the eldest lady saw this little girl's affectionate look towards me, she would have to eat her alive...
Lan Qiong casually pulled two chairs over and greeted:
"Come on, Dongjiu, sit down!"
"Thank you, Elder Lan!"
"Why don't you call me Elder Lan? Just call me Aunt Lan!"
"...Aunt Lan!"
"By the way, why didn't that girl Ruxue come with you?"
"She, she is refining elixir at home."
"You don't even know that Ruxue has been clinging to me since she was a child, but now that stinky girl has a lover, she has forgotten about me as an aunt! She is tired of being with you all day long and doesn't come to play with me at Bright Moon Peak anymore.
!”
"Haha, no, Ruxue is thinking about you, aunt. I will bring her to play with me next time."
After chatting for a while, Lan Qiong got back to the topic: "You came here so late, I guess you didn't come to me to learn how to refine weapons, right?"
Lin Dongjiu shook his head and said seriously: "Aunt Lan, I came here this time to ask about my master's affairs."
Lan Qiong sighed heavily when he heard this, with deep regret in his eyes:
"When your master was young, he was a well-known doctor in Lingyun Kingdom. Many patients came here because of his reputation, including your master's wife.
Your master's wife stayed with your master for half a month in order to cure her illness. Later, your master cured her, and the two of them fell in love for a long time, and she became your master's Taoist companion.
But your master is a restless person, and his ambition is to travel around the world, cure diseases and save people.
So not long after the two got married, your master took your wife and left the Luoxia Sect. As for where they went, no one knows.
But not even half a year later, your master came back with your wife, but when she came back she was seriously injured, her heart was destroyed, and she was already dying.
At that time, your master was like crazy. He spent all his savings, exhausted all his life's learning, and used countless tricks just to save your master's wife's life.
At that time, your master even got a glazed jasper fruit, but fate happens to like to play tricks on people. Before your master could feed your wife to eat, your master passed away in your master's arms.
From then on, your master seemed to have changed. Every day, he was hiding on Xianyun Peak and drinking. Even if a patient came to seek medical treatment, your master would not improve.
Ignore it.
The sect master advised your master to go out for a walk, so he went out to travel around the world, but he never left Lingyun Country. Maybe he didn’t dare to leave..."
Lin Dongjiu was speechless for a long time after hearing this. As soon as he heard the beginning of the story, he had already vaguely guessed the ending. Especially when he thought of Hong Yun's dejected appearance with gray face and white hair, he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Your master has traveled all over the country over the years and has taken on a total of three apprentices. With you accompanying him, we can feel more at ease."
Lan Qiong showed a gentle smile, but then her eyes turned red:
"However, your senior brothers and sisters have left one after another for some reasons, and even a while ago, you were in the secret realm with unknown life and death. It is difficult for me to imagine how your master would feel and how you survived these days.
..”
Lin Dongjiu took a deep breath and asked: "Aunt Lan, why was my wife seriously injured when she came back? What on earth is going on?!"
Lan Qiong slowly shook his head: "This... I don't know anything about it. Your master didn't reveal any information to us at that time..."
"but!"
Lan Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your wife is the biological sister of Liao Yin, the leader of Piao Miao Xian Sect! Maybe she will know something!"
Lin Dongjiu nodded: "I took note of it! When I have a chance, I will ask her myself!"
He still remembers that when he was in the Burial Dragon Mountains, he thought Liao Yin was his master's old lover, so he made up a big drama about it, but he didn't expect that the master turned out to be Liao Yin's brother-in-law!
Lin Dongjiu left Bright Moon Peak. It was already dark. He looked at the starry sky and the thousands of lights on the sect, and his melancholy relaxed again.
I guess Su Ruxue has already prepared dinner and is waiting for him to come home...
