In the process of trying to seize the fragments of the Sky-Repairing Stone, Wei Dongliu certainly also designed a plan for being "caught by the immortal".

To put it simply, it means to use the Taiyin Suming Sword to forcibly hold the immortal back, and then use the Kunlun Mirror's main body to forcibly take the fragments.

Of course, now that Lady Great Demon with the fighting power of an immortal is here, there is no need to use the Su Ming Sword anymore and she can just give it directly to Lady Jiang.

Wei Dongliu thought about this and was not panicked. He just calmly asked Taoist Naro:

"So the sect has been on guard against me for a long time? Oh, no, the master has probably never trusted any of his members. Whoever breaks into hell at this time will fall into the trap set by the sect."

"That's probably right." Taoist Luo said leisurely, "However, do you really think that no one will be able to discover what you did in the cave of Jinchan Temple?"

"Indeed." Wei Dongliu nodded and said, "Even if you use the process of elimination, you can still associate it with me, but why can't it be number two?"

"Number 2 didn't show up here, so it can't be number 2." Taoist Luo laughed and said, "Okay, now you can hand over the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone. As for the mistake you originally wanted to make, the sect will forgive you for what you did."

These words were truly sinister. If they were those cultivators who were not very thoughtful, they would already be shocked by being caught by an immortal, and now hearing that Taoist Luo was willing to show leniency, they would naturally be deceived.

But how could Wei Dongliu be so stupid as to be fooled by such a statement? He didn't want to waste too much time with this person, so he just turned around and said:

"My lady, thank you for your help."

Jiang Li'an frivolously brushed his hair with his hand, then suddenly turned into black mist and pounced towards Taoist Luo like lightning.

Taoist Luo is the head of the Hell Realm. His cultivation level, abilities, attack habits, and even his real name are unknown. It is unknown how many cards he has hidden. If Wei Dongliu were to face him head-on, he would definitely be disgusted.

However, what is even more disgusting than this old scoundrel is undoubtedly the old deadbeat: Have you heard of the immortal demon?

Jiang Li secretly turned into black mist and attacked Taoist Luo from all directions. The other party made a gesture with one hand, and it was like an invisible wall that isolated the surrounding black mist and prevented him from advancing even a inch.

However, as a corresponding price, Taoist Luo himself was trapped by the black fog and could not escape to hunt down Wei Dongliu.

Wei Dongliu naturally did not hesitate at all and quickly flew towards the center of the earth on his sword.

When he arrived at the Hell Sect's headquarters and came to the entrance to the center of the earth, he saw that the place where chaos was originally gushing out was now covered by a formation.

The simplicity of the lines of the formation, the precision of the runes, the smoothness of the structure, and the seamless integration of them, must have been created by a formation master like myself. Who else could have this ability?

It seems that Ajing is quite powerful.

Wei Dongliu looked around, searching for the Kunlun Mirror. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness. He saw the shadow of the Kunlun Mirror saying in his sea of ​​consciousness:

"Guanshui, when you see this message, I will have already left with all the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone."

"During this period of time, I have thought about it for a long time and decided that I cannot give the last link to you... After all, as long as the three immortals from Kunlun, Shushan and Penglai communicate with each other, they will know that each other's fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone have been stolen."

"In this way, it won't be difficult for the immortals to guess where you will end up."

"You are a traitor to the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church. If you are caught by the three sect guardian immortals, you will most likely not have a good ending."

"But if I go and repair the sky, and then mediate with the three immortals who have come, perhaps I can still win immunity for you."

"It was me who caused you to be hunted by the three religions, so I should be the one to handle these troubles for you. As for you..."

"From today on, you are free."

"Don't worry about me. It will take a long time to refine the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone into the Bu Tian Stone."

"You just need to hide until I finish the rest of the work."

Wei Dongliu: ...

He didn't know how to react for a moment, he just turned around and walked away numbly and stiffly.

Returning along the original route, they saw that Lady Demon was still killing Taoist Luo in the distance. The latter could only barely protect himself now, and was already in a shaky state.

He transformed into the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, and as the enemy of the immortals on the road to ascension, no one below the Chaos Daluo Jinxian was his match. Even if Taoist Luo had many schemes and tricks, when faced with such an unreasonable force to defeat tricks, he could only run away.

Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu knew that Taoist Luo would not be able to hold on for long and would choose to run away sooner or later - and then his wife would come to find him.

Now that Ah Jing is gone, I don’t know how long my magic of mirror flowers and water moons can last. If the Demon Lady finds out, won’t I end up being eaten alive?

Run away quickly!

Once again following the path he came from, he quickly passed through the blood pool and the bronze pillar, and finally left Huangquan from the entrance of the earth veins and returned to the surface.

At this time, Wei Dongliu, enduring the pain of the poison in his body, thought about the fact that he not only lost Junior Sister Xu, Senior Sister An, Miss Shi, Witch Jiang and the little fox, but now even A Jing was gone. It seemed as if he was the only one left in the world... For a moment, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Master Sword Master." Su Mingjian reminded, "I don't think this place is very safe."

"Yeah." Wei Dongliu said listlessly.

"Why don't you find a place to hide first?" Seeing that he was absent-minded, Su Mingjian could only remind him again.

"Oh." Wei Dongliu flew up on his sword and flew quickly forward.

When we say it’s the front, we’re actually just finding a direction and moving forward aimlessly.

Su Mingjian couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he used his wisdom as a sword spirit to try to persuade him:

"Master Sword Master, please think about this carefully."

"The agreement that Ah Jing made with you previously required you to collect the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone and repair the sky. The reward was to help you infiltrate various major forces and gain their benefits."

"Now that you have been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, your Dao foundation is extremely solid. Needless to say, you have a powerful set of Dao techniques, flying swords, and magic weapons. All the rewards have been received."

"As for the price you should pay, the former has been paid in full, and the last step of repairing the sky is also exempted for you... In other words, we didn't just make a small profit, but a big profit, a huge win!"

Wei Dongliu ignored it.

How could I not understand this simple and obvious truth?

The key is, I want the cultivation realm, the magic weapons, the flying sword, as well as my junior sister, senior sister, wife, and the fox Ajing... I want them all, do you understand?

Gone! All gone!

Wei Dongliu walked forward in a daze until he suddenly landed, and his whole body felt like ripples.

Without A Jing to continue his illusion, the mirror flowers and water moons on his body had lost their effectiveness.

He finally turned back into Chen Guanshui again.

Chen Guanshui looked around and saw that there seemed to be a large grassland nearby.

Looking at the clear blue sky, I think the altitude must be very high. I wonder which plateau it is on.

There was a nomadic camp ahead. Chen Guanshui had completely lost his target at this point, so he walked towards the camp casually.

Near the camp, he saw a large flock of sheep chewing hay, as white as the clouds in the sky.

Several shepherd dogs were frolicking around the flock of sheep, constantly driving back the lone sheep that had strayed away. In the distance, several children were riding on ponies, holding branches, commanding the sheepdogs as majestically as generals.

Seeing the strange man Chen Guanshui approaching, the children were frightened and scattered, riding their ponies back to the tent, then jumped off the ponies and rushed in.

After a while, an old man opened the tent curtain and walked out.

Chen Guanshui took a closer look and found that it was his old acquaintance Gu Lie.

Isn't this old bald guy a foreign monk in Shura Road? Why did he appear in the herdsmen's tent...

"This donor." Gu Lie didn't seem to recognize him at all. He just saw that the man looked panicked and didn't carry any weapons, so he thought he was a poor traveler passing by. He chanted a Buddhist name and said, "If you are tired from the journey, why not come in and have a cup of butter tea and rest your feet."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Guanshui returned the greeting.

Following Gu Lie into the tent, Chen Guanshui quickly glanced around and saw that it was filled with furnishings commonly used by herdsmen, without anything related to monks.

This Gu Lie...did he kill the herdsmen and occupy their tents, or was he just playing house here?

Thinking of the children outside, Chen Guanshui naturally thought it was the latter.

He could have killed the herdsmen and taken their place, but why would he deliberately leave these children behind and brainwash them with illusions? There was no need for that!

Gu Lie took a copper cup, poured steaming hot butter tea into it, and pushed it to Chen Guanshui.

Chen Guanshui hesitated for a moment. Although he could tell that Gu Lie could not have poisoned it, he still instinctively wanted to ask A Jing to scan it.

Then I remembered that Jing had already left me...

He sighed in his heart, raised the copper cup and drank it all in one gulp, as if drinking to drown his sorrows.

Seeing him drink so happily, the last bit of doubt in Gu Lie's heart disappeared. After all, it was impossible for a cultivator to be so unguarded.

"Where are you from and where are you going?" Gu Lie asked casually.

If Chen Guanshui had a little Buddhist wisdom, he could have answered, "I came from where I came from, and I want to go to where I'm going." But he was naturally not in that mood at the moment, so he just sighed and said:

"I come from Middle-earth, but I don't know where to go."

"Oh." Gu Lie immediately had a guess.

Now, taking advantage of the absence of the orthodox sect's immortal, the Six Paths are besieging the Three Purities' headquarters. This man is probably a resident near the orthodox sect's headquarters, and he came here to seek refuge because he sensed that war was approaching.

Well, judging from the direction and distance, it is most likely coming from Kunlun.

Thinking of this, Gu Lie also sighed and said:

"If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay here for a while. You just need to help me take care of the sheep as payment."

Chen Guanshui looked at the copper cup in silence, and then said after a while:

"Aren't you afraid that I might have bad intentions?"

"Of course I'm afraid." Gu Lie put his hands together and said with a smile, "So there are no valuable things in or outside this tent that could cause guests to have bad intentions."

"Everything in this tent is not worth a single ounce of gold. The sheep outside can be sold for quite a bit of money, provided that the guests can drive them to Guanzhong to sell... Then why would the guests come to seek refuge outside the Great Wall?"

Chen Guanshui was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked:

"Those children outside?"

"They are all homeless orphans." Gu Lie replied.

"Master, did you adopt these orphans in order to accumulate merit?" Chen Guanshui asked again.

As far as he knew, there were many Shura monks who, because the techniques they practiced were too violent, needed to do good deeds among the people often to dissolve the violence in their hearts with kindness.

The common people did not understand why, so they said that these monks came to "accumulate merit."

However, those foreign monks only did "one-time good deeds", such as giving money to a debt-ridden family to help them out, or rescuing travelers attacked by horse thieves, etc. Then they would resolve their anger amid the other party's numerous thanks and drift away.

Raising orphans is another extreme: if you want to raise them, you have to raise them until they reach adulthood and can make a living on their own... Otherwise, once you abandon them, the orphans will have no way to make a living, and they will also be burdened by their karma and their faith in the Tao will be shaken.

“Hahahaha.” Gu Lie smiled indifferently, “It’s not for the sake of accumulating merits, but every time I see them, I think of myself in the past when I was alone and helpless, so I can’t just leave them alone.”

Chen Guanshui was silent for a long time.

This explanation...either he has other intentions and is just lying to cover up his mistake, or he is really a good person.

Chen Guanshui's mind moved slightly, and he nodded and said:

"Then I'll bother you for a few days."

Anyway, what I have to do now is to find a place to live in seclusion and avoid the first wave of searches for me by my "former master", "ex-girlfriend" and "ex-wife". I'll talk about the follow-up later.

Instead of looking for a shelter everywhere, it is better to stay here with Gu Lie temporarily.

Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui had another idea.

He realized that Qiu Changtian, Ling Yunpo and Luo Yan's social circles were mostly limited to their own sects.

But Wei Dongliu was different. He had made many good friends in the Six Paths, such as Wen Yang, Gu Lie, Long Xiaoqi and others - at worst he could find a way to make new friends with them one by one and seek refuge!

So Chen Guanshui stayed here, just to experience the life of herdsmen.

A few days later, probably because of the call-up to Shura Road, Gu Lie finally left, asking Chen Guanshui to look after the children and sheep for him.

The children are all orphans. Although Gu Lie trusts Chen Guanshui very much, they are still very vigilant and usually stay away from him. Only when they really can't hide away will they nominate the oldest child to come over and talk to Chen Guanshui.

Chen Guanshui had no ridiculous idea of ​​making friends with these kids. He usually just lay on the grass to bask in the sun, chewing some grass seeds or something... Anyway, this desert grassland was vast and sparsely populated, and without positioning, he was not worried that anyone would find this place.

I don’t know how long it was like this, but the sadness that had been lingering in my heart gradually turned into emptiness.

He lived in seclusion on the grassland pasture, unaware of the battle between good and evil outside. Without Wei Dongliu's command, the Six Paths Allied Forces quickly scattered.

The crisis of the orthodox sect was finally resolved. Xu Yinglian returned to the sect and reported to the headmaster. When he left Yuxu Palace, he felt the same emptiness and decadence in his heart.

Without the figure in front of her that she had been chasing, even practicing Taoism seemed to have lost all meaning.

Xu Yinglian lowered her long eyelashes as she faced the scorching sun on the snowy peaks at noon.

Suddenly she felt something in her heart, as if she had received some kind of hint, and she turned her gaze towards a certain direction in the distance.
