"...Master Qilin asked Fellow Daoist Wei, 'What's your name?' Then Wei Dongliu bowed and said, 'I'm Wei Dongliu.' Master Qilin nodded, said, 'I remember,' and lay down again."
In the main hall of the shrine, Long Xiaoqi reported in a low voice.
"Recall the scene carefully again and don't miss any details." said a majestic female voice.
Shi Yao, the leader of Donghuang Dao, looks like a mature woman in her thirties. She wears a green Taoist robe with black hair tied into a high bun on top of her head. She has a full forehead and looks majestic without even being angry. There is a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.
If Wei Dongliu were here, he would definitely complain in his heart, "Which TV version of Nun Miejue are you?"
"What was the expression on Qilin's face when he said this?" Shi Yao asked carefully with a frown.
"No expression." Long Xiaoqi replied.
"What tone?"
"No tone." Long Xiaoqi said, "Very plain."
"How do you mean calm?" Shi Yao asked again and again to confirm.
It's not that she was overly cautious. After all, Lord Qilin was an immortal. When it came to matters related to him, no matter how cautious she was, it would not be excessive.
"Just like my current expression and tone." Long Xiaoqi said calmly.
Shi Yao: …
Long Xiaoqi: ...
The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Shi Yao broke the silence again, cleared her throat and said:
"What is Wei Dongliu's background and personality like?"
"Wei Dongliu is a cultivator of the Mortal Dao." Long Xiaoqi said softly, "He founded his own sect, the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect. He has a good relationship with Daoist Jiang of the Heavenly Demon Dao, and he has also known Daoist Wen of the Ghost Dao for a long time."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang?" Shi Yao pondered for a moment in her memory and asked, "Is it Jiang Li'an, who was born on a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin time, who was found by the Heavenly Demonic Sect more than 20 years ago?"
"I don't know about that." Long Xiaoqi said honestly, "But her name is indeed Jiang Li'an. I think she is the same person as the Sect Master said."
"How did Wen Yang know him?" Shi Yao asked again.
"I don't know about that." Long Xiaoqi answered straightforwardly.
"What is the relationship between them?" Shi Yao asked.
Long Xiaoqi thought carefully for a while and said:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang seems to like Fellow Daoist Wei."
"Has the Heavenly Demon Sect already targeted Wei Dongliu?" Shi Yao was silent for a while, then waved her sleeves and said, "Go down first and ask them if they are willing to join the expedition team."
"Yeah." Long Xiaoqi turned and left.
As soon as she left, a person came out from the inner hall.
She had a slender figure, eyes like autumn water, a face full of peach blossoms, and her every move revealed her charm. She was the "Tu Shan Jun" that Ling Yunpo and Qiu Changtian had met in the Demon Locking Tower last time. Now she was no longer dressed as a Shushan male monk, but was wearing a peach-colored dress, looking charming and attractive.
"I want to meet that Wei Dongliu." Tu Shanjun said with a smile.
"No." Shi Yao refused immediately, "This plan is of vital importance, you must not cause any more complications."
"I know my limits." Tu Shanjun said coquettishly.
"You have no sense of propriety!" Shi Yao was furious. "I want to go back to the Eastern Emperor Realm. Take me there."
"If you go back, what will we do here?" Tu Shanjun was not angry, but just asked leisurely.
"Don't worry about that." Shi Yao didn't want to say more, and said firmly, "Your mission is to transport my people back and forth between the two worlds. You are not allowed to interfere with anything else!"
"How heartless." Tu Shanjun covered his mouth and laughed, "If you offend me like this again, be careful that I will plot against you one day."
"Do you want to stir up a dispute between the two tribes?" Shi Yao raised her eyebrows sharply, her expression becoming fierce.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't threaten me." Tu Shanjun sighed, "I'll take you there."
She turned her gaze to the outside of the hall and sighed softly.
…
Wei Dongliu meditated in the guest room for a while, then raised his hand and released the golden silkworm Gu.
Three golden silkworm Gu were flying in the air, buzzing and seemed to be very happy.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the Golden Silkworm Gu is mature and there are both male and female pairs, it can start to reproduce.
But how to make them reproduce? Wei Dongliu had no idea.
After much thought, perhaps only the Donghuang Dao could have the information in this regard, after all, it had taken over the entire legacy of the Beast Taming Dao.
Although Long Xiaoqi didn't seem to care, it didn't mean that Donghuang Dao had no desire for the golden silkworm Gu.
Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu stood up slowly and prepared to go out to find Long Xiaoqi to test him.
As soon as I went out, I saw Witch Jiang standing in the corridor outside, leaning on the railing and chatting casually with Long Xiaoqi, looking into the distance.
The Donghuang Temple was built on the top of Yulong Snow Mountain. Looking out from the railing of this corridor, you can see ice and snow, meadows, lush coniferous forests, and the Ten Thousand Mountains, tropical rainforests and Taohua Miasma in the distance. All kinds of scenery are in sight.
"In the Shiwan Mountains, the most terrifying thing is not the monsters." Long Xiaoqi whispered, "but the ruins."
"Relics?" Jiang Li'an asked curiously, "Isn't that an adventure?"
"It's a blessing to get out alive," Long Xiaoqi said, "but if you die in there, it's not a blessing, it's murder."
"Indeed." Wei Dongliu naturally joined the topic, "And the Shiwan Mountains were once an ancient battlefield between the human race and the demon race. The ruins inside are not only the residences of immortals, but also some are pure war traps."
"If you mistakenly enter it, even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive, and forget about the benefits."
"Really?" Jiang Li'an seemed to be thinking about something, but the interest in his eyes did not diminish at all. He smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is a local, so he must be very familiar with the terrain around here. He should know where the ruins are and where the traps are."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang," Wei Dongliu said with a smile, "All the outer areas that she knows so well must have been explored long ago. How can there be a place for us?"
"That's right." Long Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Every year when the miasma dissipates, the exploration team will enter the Shiwan Mountains and focus on exploring those areas that have never been visited."
"Also, there are many ancient ruins that we have never explored before, but they have been completely plundered after we entered. I think the people from Shushan got there first."
"So in addition to the exploration team, we also need to form a hunting team every day to protect the exploration team from being intercepted by Shushan, or to intercept the Shushan Sword Immortal whose location has been confirmed, so as to prevent the other party from endangering our exploration operations."
To kill the opponent... Wei Dongliu laughed in silence. Don't think I don't know that you are suppressed and killed by Shushan every year. How can you have the strength to kill the opponent?
Jiang Li'an was obviously aware of this matter, but he did not expose Long Xiaoqi's whitewashing words and said with a smile:
"With the five of us joining forces this time, I think the Shushan reckless man is alone and can't handle it. There is no need to worry about him."
"Yes." Long Xiaoqi nodded. "According to the original agreement among the five factions, the hunting team must be composed of people from the five factions in turn. On average, each person must take on the responsibility of hunting for one day for every two days of exploration."
"But I have already told the headmaster... Well, Fellow Daoists Wei, Jiang, Wen, and Gu are all powerful people in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they can choose not to participate in the hunt and instead join the expedition team."
"Expedition team?" Wei Dongliu asked curiously.
"It is deep inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains, near the East Emperor Realm Gate." Long Xiaoqi explained, "It is extremely dangerous there, even Jindan cultivators often perish there. Only the strongest disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm can follow the Jindan seniors and go deep into it."
Wei Dongliu and Jiang Li'an looked at each other for a moment.
The former remained calm and calculated silently in his mind.
The latter smiled, his eyes full of eagerness.
