After Li Fan and others were rescued by Zhang Jiugao, Lu Yu's body was found at the bottom of a mountain stream about a hundred miles away from the tomb three days later.

A hundred miles away, a sword was set up in a matter of seconds, so it was impossible to say whether he was ambushed, his body was dumped, or he was fighting a sword in the sky and asked someone to kill the one who fell here.

Of course, when Lu Yu was found, all his magic weapon, jade pendant for storage, the right arm of the Lu family's mechanism for hiding things, and the four dragons responsible for guarding were all lost. Was it just that they were robbed by the murderer?

It was taken as a 'chance' by passers-by who were looking for treasure in Buzhou Mountain, and it is unknown.

In the world of spiritual practice, there is no king's law to speak of. It has always been about the hard truth. Even if Lu Yu's magic weapon is found, or even the Canglong raised in Mozhu Mountain, people can still claim to be "destined to have a relationship with the treasure", unless they fall out and hit the door.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that it will be impossible to get it back.

But these are trivial matters.

The big thing is that two golden elixirs and one foundation-builder died in Mozhushan, and there may be a traitor among the inner disciples who was involved with Li's inner court and actually killed his fellow disciples.

The practice in Mozhu Mountain has always been that the mountain master suppresses the mountain gate, and the temple master takes charge of law enforcement. It is the same this time.

The temple owner immediately summoned Zhang Jiugao. According to the old man, as a boy's teacher, he suddenly found that Chen Daotong's soul lamp was extinguished. He also found the talisman that Lu Yu left in Canglong Stream and knew that the four of them were leaving the city in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

Mu Long, guessed that something was wrong.

So he passed the message to the temple owner, and at the same time used his sword to search and rescue first. Finally, his spiritual consciousness scanned the bright light talisman placed by the boy Li Qingyue, and he arrived in time to save the two boys.

His words were approved by the temple master, and the soul lamp talisman was also backed by solid evidence. Moreover, he also rescued the two surviving boys, Li Qingyue and Yuan Xuanbao, so everything made sense.

Then there is Yuan Xuanbao's theory that Senior Brother Lu led them to herd dragons and discovered that there was evil energy leaking out of the tomb, so they left three boys to collect evil spirits to prevent the corpse from transforming and causing trouble.

But the golden elixir master from Mozhu Mountain suddenly appeared. He beheaded Chen Daotong with his flying sword and cut Yuanxuan Bao in half. Then he went into the tomb to hunt down the boy Li Qingyue, but Qingyue sacrificed the Dragon Shepherd Sword and used Mo Jian's sword.

Guang was seriously injured, and was attacked and killed by evil corpses. The boat capsized in the sewer. Only in this way could the two of them survive and be saved.

Although the boy Li Qingyue was seriously injured and unconscious, after examining his injuries, the corpses left in the tomb, and the scene of the fight, Yuan Xuanbao's guess was confirmed.

The golden elixir mage was indeed caught off guard. He was seriously injured by the sword light when he entered the door. The elixir palace was injured, the divine light was cut off, and he was unable to cast magic. He was also caught off guard and was attacked and killed by the evil corpse. And the evil corpse was also

They were probably chopped into pieces by him with his flying sword at the same time, so they both died together.

There's just one problem.

Judging by the way he dresses and practices, this demon is indeed a 'disciple of Mozhu Mountain', but no one in the inner sect recognizes him.

"No one recognizes it? How the hell is this okay? Are you kidding me?" Looking at Shu Xiaojuli, Li Fan glared at Yuan Xuanbao who came to visit him.

The two of them sat across from each other in the tea room, and there was a pot of mountain delicacies stewed chicken soup on the table. Poria had specially prepared it for him to nourish his blood before going to the business office.

Of course, Li Fan brought it out to entertain this life-and-death friend, and Xuan Bao wasn't here to drink chicken soup. It was just there pouting.

"It is true that no one recognizes him, and there is no Taoist ultimatum in his pendant." Probably because he was saved, Yuan Xuanbao's tone towards Li Fan became much better, and he patiently explained, "Mozhushan was originally

As for the Loose Cultivator Alliance, there have been too many Taoist traditions that have been circulated over the years. The unified distribution of Lou Guan Taoist ultimatums has only happened in the past hundred years.

What's more, when the virtual moon is in the sky, there are disciples who go crazy at every turn. Only those who have reached the Yuanying realm in the inner sect can be regarded as true disciples with a great reputation. As for Jin Dan, except for important positions like Zhenren Zhang who are often stationed in Taoist towers, most of them are

It is practiced in dojos located in various peaks and caves.

Since this man is a craftsman, having a personal relationship with him would be a source of scandal, so his head is hung under the Louguan Tower and no one has come out to identify him."

Li Fan suddenly frowned, "This... your big data is too bad. It doesn't matter if you don't even have identity authentication. But there are only a few golden elixirs. Can't you find out if you check them one by one..."

Yuan Xuanbao thought for a while, "Of course there is another possibility, that is, this demon is indeed not a disciple of the inner sect, but a golden elixir achieved by the outer sect."

"Outer sect? Those registered disciples?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment.

Yuan Xuanbao nodded, "The temple master is so suspicious. The named disciples have passed on the true method after all. Some of them have outstanding talents and deep blessings. It is not impossible that they can cultivate the golden elixir. It is also reasonable to call themselves disciples of Mozhu Mountain."

But it is even harder to check. The disciples registered in the outer sect are all sent by aristocratic clans and powerful landlords. Some are the princes of the sect, and some are worshiped by those cultivating families themselves. They just left a name in the outer sect.

, once the foundation building is completed, they will return to their families to practice.

If he was originally a dead soldier raised by the Liguo family, I'm afraid his identity is hidden even deeper, and it might be difficult to find out the details in a short time."

The two were silent for a moment.

Kun took the opportunity to pull a chicken leg from the pot and eat it.

Li Fan asked hesitantly, "Do you think... could it be that eunuch from Li Qiu Palace?"

This demonic path is a matter of eunuchs, as well as the Jianghu matter that he saw at Longmen Inn before. Li Fan also told Yuan Xuanbao after he recovered from his injury.

Yuan Xuanbao nodded, then shook his head, "That demon Taoist priest is probably from the Li Kingdom court, but killing fellow sects is a taboo in the three sects, and it is really hard to guard against it. As for who killed Brother Lu, I can't say for sure.

.

The calculations in the temple are deeper and darker, and there is also the interference from the Immortal Palace. These things are too deep and are not something that we boys can care about...

However, it won’t be too late to find the thief behind the scenes in the future. Qingyue, this time he was able to kill this villain, which can be regarded as avenging Dao Chuan. Today is the Seventh Sacrifice. I’m here to see how your injuries are. If your body is still healthy

If you support me, I want to take you to offer incense to Daotong and Senior Brother Lu."

"Oh, the first seven, right? It's already been seven days... I should be fine. Let's go." Li Fan also realized that he had been in a coma in the pot for several days.

.

So Li Fan changed into the black ceremonial robes, grabbed Kun who was still chewing chicken bones, put it in his sleeve, and left Wangshu Xiaoju with Yuan Xuanbao.

Xuan Bao released a wooden kite to ride on and flew ahead to lead the way, while Li Fan used the crane given by Fairy Wangshu to ride on and follow behind.

First, we left the cave in the inner mountain and went to Lou Guan Pagoda. Then we went east, and after walking along the river for less than ten miles, we saw a cluster of wealthy manor houses with pavilions, red towers, high walls, red tiles, waterside pavilions and gardens.

Looking from afar, one can only see the light frost on the mandarin tiles, the soft wind on the tortoise curtains, and the auspicious atmosphere in the high gate. The Zhulou Waterside Pavilion, the Bitan Golden Pavilion, and the orchids and jade in the Xie Courtyard are vying for beauty. The scenery of this school is unique.

The charming ancient town is probably where the rich and powerful cultivators from Mozhu Mountain and the aristocratic families protected by the immortals gather.

If a person attains enlightenment and becomes a land god with a lifespan of hundreds of years, he will have to protect three generations, five generations, and even seventeen or eighteen generations of descendants under his wings.

This is also human nature. And if one or two of them have the same enlightenment, then an entire cultivation family, a family that has been passed down for generations, will rise from the ground.

For example, organizations like the Immortal Palace, the Heavenly Court, the Conferred Gods, and the system of Taoism and Laws are also established based on this core logic of one person attaining Taoism and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. The first Immortal Lord in heaven and earth, and his disciples

The disciples, even the entire Immortal Palace, and the entire Twelve Kingdoms, are the epitome of such a cultivating family. Of course, cultivation techniques, natural materials, and earthly treasures, etc., should not flow to outsiders.

It's just that this family inheritance system was later attacked by the master-disciple inheritance of Xuanmen and the sect inheritance of the divine sect. Then, Xuyue Dangkong changed the way of heaven. Maybe a monk went crazy and wiped out his entire family.

, and then there was some convergence.

But today, it can still be seen from the aristocratic family courtyard near Mozhu Mountain that the Xiuzhen family is still the most extensive and basic unit in the spiritual world. Almost as long as a big sect can accumulate for hundreds of years without disaster, it will naturally have people to rely on.

Family gatherings arose.

Yuan Xuan Bao led the way, and Li Fan followed him to Chen's house first.

After all, Chen Daotong was just a boy in the foundation-building period, and the Chen family was not too big. Only Chen Daotong's family members and close friends and Taoists like Yuan Xuanbao came to pay their respects by offering incense sticks.

Li Fan avenged Chen Daotong, so he was regarded as an honored guest. Chen Daotong's parents and his three wives and four concubines also came to express their gratitude.

...Well, it’s really three wives and four concubines.

Chen Daotong looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, barely a high school student. Although his parents looked sad, they were all dressed in middle-aged clothes. They probably had some magic pills to take care of themselves, so they looked very young. So at first, Li

Everyone thought that these young women in plain clothes and mourning who came to salute were his sisters, but when they were introduced, they turned out to be wives and concubines...

We can have two tables of mahjong together in the evening. This evil feudal society is really enviable... Ahem, criticize, criticize, you should criticize...

"Brother Xuanbao, how many years have you been practicing Taoism with Brother Daotong?" Although the deceased was too embarrassed to discuss it later, Li Fan couldn't help it, and after careful consideration, he secretly inquired with him.

"It's been twenty years," Yuan Xuanbao calculated. "We both joined the master's disciples when we were sixteen years old when we were building the foundation. We have been together as a couple and practiced until the foundation was completed. It has been at least twenty years."

Well, he is about thirty-six years old and is an immortal. In this era, it seems normal to have three wives and four concubines. At sixteen, he has almost reached puberty... huh?

"...You said that you were building a foundation at the age of sixteen..." Li Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he looked at Yuan Xuanbao's appearance, "Brother Xuanbao, you don't seem to have grown much..."

"Oh, after the foundation is established, the growth of the Tao body will be slower. The higher the realm in the future, the slower the aging..." Yuan Xuanbao seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Li Fan, who was only ten years old, "Uh,

Qingyue, you actually...can take a break for two years...but there's nothing you can do about the situation at that time..."

Damn it! In other words, if I practice too fast, I won’t have to look like a boy all the time!

'Li Fan's mood dropped by 1 point.'

Xuantian Jianyi said, "What's wrong with this? This shows that you, the host, are a genius. You will know if the host goes out and walks around the world more often. The kind of powerful people who have been reincarnated for more than ten lives are all born at the age of five or six."

The old boy who builds the foundation and cultivates the Tao is always in trouble. Host, you are too late to meet me, otherwise I will build the foundation for you in the cradle.'

Jianyi, please leave me alone!

Li Fan was speechless. This was too deceptive. No wonder the children of these cultivating families were mostly fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, and the outer sects did not worship the moon very much. They wanted to continue the family lineage...

He looked at Chen Daotong's widows who were crying bitterly, and it seemed that two of them were actually pregnant. Is this the inheritance of the cultivation family...

"Uncle, don't worry, I, Xuan Bao, will help take care of Brother Daotong's bloodline." Yuan Xuan Bao went over to comfort the family again.

Li Fan was helpless, but it didn't matter if he thought about it. He would grow up sooner or later, so just be careful not to upgrade too quickly.

So he also offered incense sticks to Chen Daotong, paid his respects, and left some elixirs and talismans with Yuan Xuan Bao. After settling all the funeral arrangements for his Taoist companion, he left the Chen family with him.

.

Chen Daotong, a foundation-building disciple who had only met a few times, formed a team with Li Fan for a short period of time. They traveled together for a short period of time during the long journey of cultivation, and then exited the server.

If Li Fan, the scourge, can live long enough, there will be many people who will pass by him like this in the future, right?

"Huh...the difference between immortals and mortals, the friendship between life and death..."

Li Fan looked back at the rich family of the Chen family. There seemed to be no other practitioners of the Chen family's generation. Chen Daotong was originally a Nascent Soul, but now that he has fallen, the Chen family will probably move out of this house soon and return.
To be continued...
