Chapter 15: Senior, “How do you know my last name is Lin?”…
Fifty years ago.
Not the one who stole the Nightmare Stone.
After hearing Lin Jinghong's words, Xie Wuyang couldn't help but feel disappointed.
If Lin Jinghong had really never seen other people, then the person who stole the Nightmare Stone might not have discovered this secret realm at all, but just stayed at the entrance of the cave and then left.
I don't know what that person's purpose is.
"How dare this junior try to trick you? Senior, you know a lot. I still have something I want to ask Senior Lin. In this illusion..."
"How do you know my last name is Lin?" Lin Jinghong frowned and suddenly interrupted.
Xie Wuyang stopped talking, and the words in his mouth suddenly got stuck.
Lin Jinghong has lived in seclusion here for a hundred years ago, and even Yun Wanzhou may not know him. His original body was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so it is impossible for him to know Lin Jinghong.
He let the cat out of the bag without realizing it.
A probing gaze fell from above his head. Xie Wuyang knew that he could not hide the fact that he knew Lin Jinghong's identity, so he could only lie, "I have seen it in the album of the successive heads and elders of Lianwu."
Lin Jinghong looked Xie Wuyang up and down, and seemed to believe it. He raised his chin and said, "I have long heard that Immortal Yun is an extraordinary immortal with great strength. Now I see that his reputation is well-deserved. Even the disciples sitting here have seen a lot."
Some masters who live in seclusion in secret places will leave many talismans in the outside world to keep an eye on some movements in the outside world. Xie Wuyang was not surprised that Lin Jinghong knew Yun Wanzhou's identity.
Yun Wanzhou didn't ask too many questions. Xie Wuyang knew he had gotten away with it and breathed a sigh of relief. "Senior Lin, you're too kind. I heard that the Lianwu Sect has been searching for you for a long time since you left. Once you left, the morale of the Lianwu Sect has also dispersed. Have you ever thought about returning?"
I don’t know if it was Xie Wuyang’s illusion, but the moment Yun Wanzhou’s voice fell, the old man in plain clothes seemed to stiffen for a moment.
Xie Wuyang knew there was a story behind this, and couldn't help but feel curious about this old senior. "Senior Lin, can you answer my questions?"
Lin Jinghong returned to his attitude when they first met, and said impatiently, "I've long been tired of the sect's affairs and will not go back."
Seeing that Lin Jinghong didn't want to say more, Xie Wuyang didn't ask any more questions. He followed him silently into the cave.
His spiritual power was low, and he hadn't even established his foundation yet, although he didn't think that the old senior Lin Jinghong would do anything to him.
But after all, we are in a secret place, so we still dare not let our guard down.
It is said that when facing their elders, people in the immortal sect would put away their spiritual weapons to show respect. Before entering the cave, Yun Wanzhou turned the broken snow into something unknown and hid it.
Xie Wuyang looked for a long time but couldn't figure out what was new on Yun Wanzhou's body.
As seen from the cave entrance, the furnishings inside the house are extremely simple, except for a small shelf close to the stone wall, which should be used to store miscellaneous items.
Xie Wuyang silently looked around at the scene.
The three people each had their own thoughts, and no one spoke first, so the cave was unusually quiet.
Xie Wuyang and Yun Wanzhou rushed in almost at the same time. There was almost no interval between the two fluctuations of Lin Jinghong's barrier, which caused him to make a miscalculation and pour one less cup of tea.
When Xie Wuyang and Yun Wanzhou sat down, he took a teacup from the shelf and filled it up, then sat down as well.
Lin Jinghong picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes scanned the two of them for a moment, and suddenly stopped drinking tea as he thought of something. "What is your purpose in coming here? Why are you playing tricks on me?"
As he spoke, Lin Jinghong's gaze stopped at Xie Wuyang and he narrowed his eyes. "Especially you, a little disciple who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, asking questions here and there and spouting lies."
He appeared respectful and said that he would not try to trick him, but he actually asked him about everything that had happened in the secret realm over the past hundred years.
Xie Wuyang considered Lin Jinghong's character and saw that Yun Wanzhou had no intention of stopping him. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke truthfully, "To be honest, Senior, my master and I came here to look for the Nightmare Stone."
"Isn't the Nightmare Stone guarded by Cangqiong Mountain?" Lin Jinghong paused, then looked at Xie Wuyang and suddenly realized something. "It's lost?"
Xie Wuyang nodded. "Master and I followed the tracking technique and arrived at the cave where Senior had cast the magic circle. That's why we disturbed you. I wonder if there have been any unusual movements in your secret realm?"
Lin Jinghong frowned and thought for a moment, "If it really is an unusual movement, it must be the formation you used when you came here. Someone tampered with that formation and reversed its function. Perhaps that's why you and your master were separated."
"If you allow me, Senior, could you please allow me to cast a spell and investigate?"
Lin Jinghong suddenly raised his eyes, his expression displeased, "Are you guys suspecting that I've hidden the Nightmare Stone?"
"This junior has no such intention," Xie Wuyang said calmly, "but the matter of the Nightmare Stone is of great importance, and Senior's illusion appeared and was revealed at the right time. I hope Senior Lin will understand."
As an elder of the Lianwu Sect, Xie Wuyang knew very well that Lin Jinghong knew what the Nightmare Stone meant to the world of cultivation, but to Xie Wuyang's surprise, the elder showed hesitation.
Xie Wuyang pursed his lips and asked, "Senior, are you in trouble?"
Lin Jinghong thought seriously for a moment, "If I ask you to cast a spell, can you promise not to tell anyone else in the cultivation world that I'm hiding here after you get out?"
"Of course." Xie Wuyang nodded without hesitation.
Seeing Xie Wuyang's solemn promise, Lin Jinghong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Don't mess up my things."
The loss of the Nightmare Stone guarding Cangqiong Mountain will certainly ruin its reputation, but other sects and even all living beings in the world of cultivation are not completely unscathed either.
In fact, no one has ever seen the power of the Nightmare Stone. They just heard from their ancestors that thousands of years ago, the Demon Realm Lord Song Duoyan sacrificed all living beings in order to dominate the world of cultivation and refined this thing.
At that time, the world of cultivation was in ruins, with countless people losing their lives, but there were also many talented people who continued to fight.
Later, it was the God of Fuguang who risked his life and lurked beside Song Duoyan, taking advantage of the situation to eliminate the disaster.
As a blessing in disguise, the God Lord broke through and ascended to heaven, becoming the first person in the world of cultivation to ascend to heaven.
Before leaving, Lord Fuguang instructed his descendants that the power of the Nightmare Stone should not be underestimated. He had tried to destroy it but failed several times. Since he could not make the Nightmare Stone disappear from the world, he had no choice but to guard it and make sure it was not taken away by outsiders.
Even the gods can't do anything about the Nightmare Stone, which shows that this thing really should not be underestimated.
Although Lin Jinghong has retired, he cannot bear to see other people suffer, not to mention that he is also one of them.
After all, Xie Wuyang relied on the spiritual power given by Yun Wanzhou, which was ultimately limited. The moment Xie Wuyang stood up, Yun Wanzhou raised his hand slightly, and the spiritual power overflowed from his fingertips and fell on the spell he cast on Xie Wuyang.
Xie Wuyang wrote a few words in the air, and with a wave of his right hand, his spiritual power instantly rippled out like water, shining brightly.
Lin Jinghong is alone, and the Peach Garden Secret Realm he built is not very big, so searching here will not consume too much spiritual power.
But to be on the safe side, Xie Wuyang expanded his spiritual power even to the outer edge of the barrier and the entire Dashipo.
This kind of magic consumes a huge amount of energy. Even though Xie Wuyang did not use his own abilities, when the huge amount of spiritual power surged out of the talisman, Xie Wuyang still could not hold on and his expression changed.
Xie Wuyang couldn't help but complain about the uselessness of this body, and strengthened the spiritual power in his hands.
Lin Jinghong looked at this scene, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Is your disciple always so desperate?"
Yun Wanzhou stood with his hands behind his back and nodded in response, "He always works hard."
Lin Jinghong turned around, glanced at Yun Wanzhou, and suddenly sneered, "Isn't it that Immortal Yun is too confident in his disciple? I see that this person has had a spiritual vein for several years, but he is still only at the low level of Qi Refining. Can this be considered hard work?"
Yun Wanzhou pursed his lips and said calmly, "This trip down the mountain is his chance. He will definitely establish his foundation within a few months."
"Master Yun, you are talking big like this, aren't you afraid that I will laugh my teeth off?" Lin Jinghong said in a sarcastic tone.
Yun Wanzhou said nothing, his eyes fixed on Xie Wuyang.
After all, external spiritual power is not your own. It is okay to use it lightly, but ordinary people will never be able to use external spiritual power to perform such a large-scale tracking technique.
He also didn't know. His disciple was only at the Qi Refining stage. When did his strength reach this level?
