Ranran discovered this word just now when she was lying on the ground.

At that time, the Drunken Immortal must have been lying here and writing with his fingernails on the bottom of the stone.

She slowly stood up and realized that there was a drag mark where she lay, and there were even traces of someone's fingernails scratching the ground. It seemed that someone had been lying here and then dragged away...

Ran Ran saw this and felt cold sweat on his back. Jiu Laoxian was not an ordinary old man without any strength. He was dragged like this without any resistance, which obviously meant that he had been tricked.

The person dragging Jiu Laoxian didn't notice the writing Jiu Laoxian left at the bottom of the boulder because of the angle. Was Jiu Laoxian warning her and her?

Are the people who attacked here the remnants of the Brahma Cult?

Just as Ran Ran looked down at the ground, Su Yishui came over. He squatted down and saw the words, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The Brahma Sect is a demonic sect from several hundred years ago. It was a group of greedy people that were gathered and controlled by Lingquan when he secretly intruded into the human world.

When they first heard this name, they were tracking down the water demon and came all the way to Cuiwei Mountain, where they heard it from the Drunken Immortal.

However, the Brahma Sect had already been destroyed by the Mighty Shield God and no longer existed. How come the Brahma Sect suddenly appeared?

Ran Ran and the others could not find many clues, so they could only go down from Cuiwei Mountain. When she looked up, she accidentally saw a crow on a branch.

At first, Jiu Laoxian controlled it to communicate with the people down the mountain. But now, this crow no longer has a magic charm on its feet, and it just tilts its head and quacks stupidly.

Ran Ran felt a little sad and secretly determined to find the whereabouts of Jiu Laoxian. His brother Yao Laoxian had already ascended to heaven and no longer cared about worldly affairs.

Therefore, she, a friend whom she had only met once, was the only one who was concerned about the whereabouts of the old naughty boy.

When they came to the mountain to look for traces, Second Master Uncle did not go up the mountain. In the past two days, Second Master Uncle's appetite was not very good and he did not eat much. They basically ate and chatted while Second Master Uncle took a cup of tea and went for a walk to get some fresh air.

Qiu Xier whispered to her secretly, wondering if Second Uncle-Master had had another child with that scholar from the West Mountain.

Ranran was reluctant to ask this, but her master probably thought so too. Second Uncle said he was a little tired, so he didn't let her go hiking with them.

At this time, Second Uncle-Master was bored of waiting and was sitting on a big rock, staring at the smoke from the village not far away in a daze.

Ranran followed her gaze and had some ideas in mind.

So they went to the village on the pretext of buying some dry food, and got some clues from the villagers at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.

Ten days ago, a group of strangers came here. It was night time, and some people saw that they were walking with their heels not touching the ground.

This scared several villagers who went to the canal to catch loaches at night. It is said that one timid one was so scared that he vomited bile when he returned home, and kept shouting that he had seen a wronged ghost who was seeking his life.

After hearing this, Ran Ran felt that what they saw was a group of strange people who had practiced the Wind Control Technique. When the Wind Control Technique was used, their feet did not touch the ground, as if they were moving forward with the wind.

However, when they walked to the country road they mentioned, Ranran had a very sensitive nose and actually smelled a faint scent of false celestial beings on the ground.

She suddenly thought that the Drunken Master always carried a wine gourd with him. If he was kidnapped and the stopper of the gourd was not tightly closed, it was possible that the smell of wine would leak out.

The smell of Wu Tianxian's wine was special, and it hadn't rained in the past ten days, so the smell was still lingering. Fortunately, Ranran had a dog's nose and her sense of smell was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, so she followed the faint smell of wine and found her way to the riverside.

At this time, the boats on the river pier are very busy.

There was a war on the border, and this place was an important place for transshipping supplies, so the boatmen coming and going were all busy carrying goods.

Yuchen quickly found out that twenty days ago, all the ships at this riverside pier were sent to Wuma Town.

A large number of troops were gathering there and supplies were urgently needed. As for merchants who wanted to go elsewhere, they could only travel by land and were not allowed to occupy the waterways.

Could it be that those people also took the Drunken Immortal on board and went to Wuma Town?

After listening to this, Su Yishui said, "In that case, let's go to Wuma Town. After all, we were originally going to investigate the front line."

Uncle Zeng Yi originally managed a lot of industries for Su Yishui, and in Wuma Town, there was also a Qianli Horse Racing Company, which finally gave them a place to stay.

Qiu Xier had been sleeping in the open air for the past few days, and she didn't dare to eat too much in front of her master. She lost weight due to the torment, but now she has the slim figure of a young girl.

Now she was looking forward to having a soft bed to have a good sleep and to eat a big bowl of braised pork behind her master's back.

So when they were about to reach Mawang Town, Qiu Xier became a little excited.

However, when they arrived at the horse racing shop, they found that the signboard of this largest horse racing shop in the area had been smashed. The shopkeeper and the employees were not there. There was only a 70-year-old man who was on night watch. He told them in the local dialect, which was somewhat difficult to understand, with gestures and gestures, that all the people in the horse racing shop had been captured by the soldiers.

Yuchen and Gaocang looked at each other and quickly checked their surroundings for any movement.

After all, the Xishan sect's masters and disciples are now newly wanted criminals. It is said that the roads leading to Xishan are covered with their notices.

Of course, this was not to make it easier for the officers and soldiers to capture them. After all, they were all immortal cultivators, and ordinary officers and soldiers could not even get close to them, let alone capture them.

However, the wanted order was quite effective in discrediting Xishan.

But under such a situation, it was heard that the three major sects had already sat together for a meeting, discussing whether to label Xishan as a demon sect. In the gossiping words of Zhenren Kaiyuan, it seemed that Xishan sect was unrepentant and colluded with Mu Qingge to create a dragon and overturn the palace, causing a terrible disaster.

In the previous Marrow Washing Pool Meeting at Tianmai Mountain, Xishan took the lead, which caused dissatisfaction among the three major sects.

Therefore, even though there were loopholes in Kaiyuan Zhenren's words, no one investigated deeply. Instead, they all denounced Xishan's faults. It was said that some sects even gathered together and prepared to find Su Yishui to bring him to justice.

After all, Su Yishui's actions completely destroyed the balance between the world of cultivation and the secular world, and implicated many fellow Taoists. His crime is unforgivable!

Now that the horse shop has run into trouble, will anyone notice the connection between this horse shop and Xishan?

After a cautious inspection, Ranran found out the whole story at a sesame paste stall at the town entrance.

Ma Xing's accident this time had nothing to do with Xishan's disciples.

This place is rich in famous horses from outside the Great Wall, so there are many horse traders coming and going.

Recently, due to the tense border war, horses are urgently needed, so horses from all over have been requisitioned, including the horses here.

The border was in danger, so the horses requisitioned naturally could not be calculated according to the market price, but only basic compensation. However, most horse dealers would not say anything, after all, everyone knew the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold".

But just yesterday, a group of soldiers came and arrested all the shopkeepers and employees of the horse shop, and also sent a message saying that the boss should go to the military camp as soon as possible for questioning.

It was heard that something had happened to the horses handed over by the horse dealership, so the next day after the horses were handed over, they were sent to find a camp.

As a result, all the horses handed in from other places were fine, except for the horses from Qianli Maxing, which suddenly became extremely wild when they ran to Yanxing Mountain. They kicked and neighed continuously, making the riding soldiers miserable. The worst thing was that a general was injured.

Therefore, the military camp believed that it was the people from Qianli Horse Trading Company who tampered with the requisitioned horses and harmed the soldiers, so they arrested the shopkeeper for interrogation.

The warm bed and braised pork that Qiu Xier had been looking forward to for a long time were gone just like that.

The wanted men had to retreat back into the woods.

However, Yuchen had experience in the military camp and was an expert at setting up tents. So after he bought a cowhide felt tent in the town, Yuchen and Gaocang set up the tent and set up camp on the mountain, finally eliminating the need to sleep in the open air.

When Gao Cang followed his uncle down the mountain, he also brought back a piece of top-quality pork belly, some condiments such as oil, sugar, soy sauce, and an iron pot.

While Ran Ran was washing the meat by the stream, he teased Qiu Xier, "Grandmaster really loves you. Look, you said you wanted to eat braised pork, and he bought it for you."

Qiu Xier has indeed been very close to her senior brother during this period. However, Qiu Xier feels that she cannot compare with Ran Ran in terms of what she has done.

Now she also noticed that there was something unusual between Ran Ran and the master, so she asked in a low voice: "The master is so scary now, and you dare to get close to him? I saw you two sitting on the rocks on the top of the mountain looking at the moon yesterday. Do you really want to become a fairy couple with the master?"

Ran Ran didn't think that far ahead. She just hoped to return Lingquan safely.

When Master returns to normal... naturally everything will be gone without a trace, there's no need to talk about whether they are a perfect couple or not.

Qiu Xier was familiar with the stories of cultivation. When she heard Ranran say that he didn't think that far ahead, she said anxiously, "You have some cultivation skills now. You must think it through. I heard that if you become an immortal couple, it will be more difficult to achieve immortality through cultivation."

Ranran understood what Qiu Xier meant.

After all, the two people have different cultivation levels and ascended at different times. Often, after one person ascends, he or she cuts off worldly thoughts, and even if they meet again in the future, they will only treat each other with respect, as if they were strangers. Even worse, the other person is unable to achieve the right result and becomes Hou Yi and Chang'e, separated in the two worlds, leaving only regrets. "

Ranran felt that what Qiu Xier said made sense, but her master didn't seem to be very interested in things like building the foundation and ascending to heaven.

With his talent, his current cultivation level should be far higher than those powerful people in the three major sects who are preparing to ascend.

But before this, Master's cultivation performance did not seem to have improved much compared to twenty years ago. The last time a great being ascended to heaven to undergo the test of heavenly tribulation, he was not included.

However, the two experiences of fighting beasts and using his own body to seal the spiritual spring all proved that Master’s cultivation was far more profound than he showed.

After all, to be able to control the spiritual spring without being controlled by it, one needs strong willpower and spiritual support.

Why would such a capable master stop moving forward and remain trapped in the small West Mountain?

Ran Ran knew her own limitations. Even if she and her master were lucky enough to become a couple, her current cultivation level was far from that of her master. Just like Qiu Xier said, sometimes, cultivating together might just be a way to kill time. If they were destined not to be together in the future, it would be better not to take it seriously from the beginning.

Thinking about the Master's recent night routine, he would take her to see the beautiful moonlit night. For some reason, it seemed as if the Master had been here before.

He knew where the beautiful scenery was. For example, yesterday, he took her to a valley full of purple flowers. When night fell, it didn't take long for her to see fireflies flying among the flowers.

Ranran had never seen so many fireflies before. The reflection of the fireflies on the purple flowers looked like falling stars, so beautiful.

The master also took out a small net and let her play with it. Ranran had a lot of fun. In the end, she still felt unsatisfied and said that it would be nice to have a firefly cage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Yishui took out a paper lantern. During the day, Ran Ran saw her master chopping wood branches and making something with the white paper he brought with him, but she didn't expect that he was making a lantern for her.

When I caught the fireflies and put them in, I discovered that there were pictures drawn with simple lines on the four sides of the paper.

It shows a couple sitting on a tree branch under the moon, looking at a sea of ​​flowers. As the fireflies flicker and dance, the flowers on the lantern also begin to dance with fireflies...

In this situation, it is hard to tell whether it is in the painting or outside the painting. And what Su Yishui painted is the present... or his past memories.

As Ranran watched his master's thorough preparations, he became more and more certain that he had been to these places before, and these clever ideas were obviously not something a man with a rough personality could think of.

So she asked tentatively, "Master, have you been here before?"

Su Yishui was silent for a moment, then said, "I've been here before..."

Ran Ran gently waved the delicate paper lantern and asked, "Master, have you ever done this for others?"

This time, Su Yishui shook his head, looked at the glowing night sky in front of him, and said calmly: "This is the first time I've done this, but someone once made a lantern for me to make me happy..."

After hearing this, Ran Ran suddenly felt indescribably uncomfortable. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Then Master must be as happy as I am now, right?"

Su Yishui half raised his head, half smiled without saying anything, and then said in a low voice: "I was in a bad mood at that time, and I tore the lantern into pieces..."

Ran Ran didn't expect that the memory of this beautiful scene would be like this. She was speechless for a moment, and suddenly guessed that the person who made the lantern to please her master should be Master Mu Xian.

So now, what was the meaning of him making this lantern for himself? Did he also hope that she would tear it into pieces and throw it back in his face to make up for her guilt towards Master Mu?

Thinking of this, I slowly lost interest in appreciating the scenery. Now that I think about it, the moonlit fishing in the river a few days ago, and the bird eggs hunting with my master during the day, all these pleasant experiences, maybe they were all what my master had done with Master Mu Xian.

Although Master Mu has changed now, her master still misses the past, so he takes her along to replay the past.

After Su Yishui said this, he seemed to be still immersed in the past. When he turned around, he found that Xue Ranran had poked the lantern into a sieve with one finger, and all the fireflies inside had run away.

Then Xue Ranran handed the broken lantern back to his master's arms, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."

Then he just tiptoed down the mountain.

When she returned, Qiu Xier and the others had already fallen asleep. Ran Ran returned to her small tent and suddenly felt like she had eaten too much tonight. She didn't know why her chest felt stuffy.

At this time, Su Yishui seemed to have come back and stopped outside her tent. Ran Ran didn't want to talk to him, so she said under the quilt, "Master, I'm tired and want to go to bed early."

She said this, thinking that the master would leave, but Su Yishui stretched out his hand and pulled her out of the tent. Ranran was shocked, thinking that the master's evil nature had become stronger.

But who knew that Su Yishui pulled her, closed his eyes and whispered: "What did you hear?"

Ran Ran quickly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing and concentrated his mind. When he listened carefully, he actually heard a sound like thunder.

"What...what is this?"

Su Yishui frowned and said, "It's the sound of horses running."

The group of horses should be still far away from them, but both of them have better hearing than ordinary people, so they heard it early.

Su Yishui lay on the ground and listened carefully, then raised his head and said, "There should be about five or six hundred horses, and they are running towards this direction."

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, they hid in a mountain near the border. Beyond this mountain is the Gaokan border.

It is now deep in the night. Could it be that the officers and soldiers of Daqi are preparing to attack Gaokan Camp at night, so they are running wildly at night?

After an incense stick of time had passed, on the vast open field at the foot of the mountain, there really were a large number of horses galloping under the moonlight.

Ran Ran and Su Yishui stood on the tallest tree on the top of the mountain and could see everything clearly. However, unlike what Ran Ran had expected, the horses were bare-backed, without saddles or reins, and no soldiers were riding them.

If they were letting the horses out, why would they do it at night? And it looked like no one was driving these horses, so why were they not sleeping in the middle of the night and running all the way?

Just when Ran Ran was puzzled, Su Yishui suddenly said, "Let's go down the mountain and take a look."

So the two of them walked one after the other, riding the wind, and quickly came to the foot of the mountain.

When they reached the edge of the herd, Ranran quickly discovered something strange about the horses with the help of the bright moon in the sky.

There seemed to be something stuck to the horses' backs.

Ranran quickened his pace and walked in the same direction as the horse, quickly reaching out and tearing a piece of paper off the horse's back.

The moment the note was taken down, the horse seemed to have lost all its strength. It fell to the ground neighing and twitching, then foamed at the mouth, looking extremely painful.

Ran Ran quickly took out a pill to protect his vitality and stuffed it into the horse's mouth to protect its heart. Then he looked down at the note in his hand and recognized it at once. It was a beast-controlling talisman made by the Jiu Laoxian.

When she looked up, she saw that all the horses passing by had talismans stuck on their backs.

It was obvious that someone had driven them all the way. These horses were running so recklessly that they would probably be exhausted by the time they reached their destination.

Su Yishui whispered, "These horses should all be horses requisitioned from the Daqi army camp. Someone let them run to Gaokan, so that the Daqi army has no horses to use."

Ran Ran gasped when he heard this. Forget about the bastard sitting on the throne. The current war concerns the safety of the people living on the border of the two countries, not just Su Yu's national affairs.

The new King Gaokan was a cruel monarch. It was said that when he was still the crown prince, he once massacred all the people in the Daqi villages along the way because he was defeated in a battle. It was simply outrageous.

If Daqi fails this time, I am afraid that the people at the border will not be spared. Even if Jiu Laoxian is a mean person, he will not help such a cruel person.

Besides... Jiu Laoxian has never been a person who cares about current affairs. Gao Kan didn't know which expert had such connections that he actually went to Cuiwei Mountain to capture Jiu Laoxian and forced him to use the magic talisman to help the tyrant?

As she thought this, she looked up at her master. When their eyes met, they immediately understood each other's meaning. So they each chose a horse, grabbed the horse's mane, climbed on, and moved forward with the herd.

The herd of horses quickly crossed the border and arrived in Gaokan's territory.

Seeing a military camp bonfire in front of them, the two of them dismounted their horses early, turned around, and sneaked into the military camp.

When they jumped onto the tree, Ran Ran heard someone talking from inside the military tent: "These talismans are really effective. In two days, the generals of Daqi will have to ride on donkeys to fight in the battlefield..."

Hearing this, everyone inside burst into laughter.

Then someone else said, "Since we have the help of the immortals, we Gaokan will definitely win this time! Why bother sending out troops to fight? Using the immortal magic is like throwing beans and turning them into soldiers!"

At this time, a cold female voice said, "Don't forget that helping you all this comes at a price. You should spread the word that it was Immortal Su from the West Mountain who helped you get the magic talisman and these horses."

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fairy, we understand. His name is Su Yishui, right? He and his disciples offended the emperor of Daqi, so they fled and came to Gaokan. Our king has appointed him as the national teacher."

The woman snorted, "Just do this. There will be great benefits waiting for you in the future. Don't forget to give the horses the spiritual water I gave you. Otherwise, they will fall to the ground and die immediately if they don't replenish their spiritual energy in time after such a long journey."

After saying this, the woman strode out of the tent.

In the moonlight, Ran Ran saw that the woman looked familiar. After a closer look, she was none other than Tu Jiuyi, the female elder under Wei Yan's seat!

Ran Ran suddenly realized that Jiu Laoxian must have been captured by the people sent by Chimen. And Wei Yan instructed Tu Jiuyi to collude with Gaokan's officers and soldiers, intending to frame the Xishan faction!

The unwritten rules of the cultivation world have always been not to have too much contact with the mundane world. Previously, they had violated a taboo by intruding into the imperial palace without permission, which aroused the disgust of the immortal cultivators.

If such a rumor were to spread now, that Su Yishui had helped the tyrannical King Gaokan win the battle, not only in the cultivation world, but also in the territory of Daqi, the Xishan Sect would become a rotten fish and shrimp, and everyone would be able to punish them!

Wei Yan's move was really wicked. When the time comes, the Xishan sect will be crushed by the world. Even the families of several of his fellow disciples will be blocked at the door and splashed with feces.

The Xishan sect has completely fallen into evil and there is no chance of recovery.
