Chapter 290: Name of a Person
Gao Xian has always been tolerant and generous to beautiful women. For a beauty like Fan Lingzhen, she deserves a higher level of preferential treatment.
However, his preferential treatment of the strange beauty was limited to an insignificant level.
If Fan Lingzhen suddenly asked him for help, he would not agree easily.
Strictly speaking, the White Lotus Sect should be called a sect. They believe in Vairocana Tathagata and have strict doctrines and rules.
The White Lotus Sect has a large number of followers, including many demons and evil cultivators.
According to the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, as long as one believes in Vairocana Tathagata, they are all brothers and sisters in the sect, without distinction between them.
For sects like the Qingyun Sect, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are of course extremely treasonous and evil.
Only in an open sect like Liuhe Sect could one see disciples of the White Lotus Sect. Lu Shidao even made friends with Fan Lingzhen without any hesitation.
Gao Xian was very wary of Lu Shidao, let alone the cult disciple Fan Lingzhen.
This time, Lu Shidao arranged for him to go to Dagu Mountain to eliminate evil spirits, but he happened to be together with Fan Lingzhen. If he said there was nothing wrong, even a dog would believe it.
However, we are all foundation-building cultivators, so we cannot show what we are thinking on our faces.
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I like to help others the most. If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it does not violate the moral rules, I will do my best."
Fan Lingzhen looked at Gao Xian deeply. What this man said was very nice. However, what the moral rules were was not something that this guy could decide himself.
In other words, he had already prepared an excuse for not helping.
This guy is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor, but he is also very cunning.
Fan Lingzhen said seriously: "Daoyou, let me be frank. The evil spirit in Dagu Mountain is very difficult to deal with. Even though you have great magic skills, it is useless if you can't catch the evil spirit.
"I can help you catch the evil spirit and solve this problem for you."
"So, what do you want me to do?" Gao Xian asked.
Fan Lingzhen smiled sweetly, "Words are not enough. It's hard to convince you now. Let's go to Dagu Mountain first and talk about it later."
Gao Xian naturally had no objection. He explained the situation to Huang Yan, the steward of Yunshui Tower, and then followed Fan Lingzhen out of Liuhe City and headed straight for Dagu Mountain.
What surprised Gao Xian was that Fan Lingzhen actually had a Qingye flying boat.
This green flying boat can be rolled up and shrunk into a very small piece. When released, it will become a two-meter-long green flying boat.
The interior space is quite spacious, enough to accommodate five or six people.
The Qingye flying boat is not very fast, but it is comfortable and convenient.
Flying in the sky by controlling the light of escape not only consumes a lot of mana, but also leaves no way to rest, let alone practice.
When traveling long distances, cultivators would use flying instruments. Unless they were forced to do so, no one would use the Light of Escape to fly long distances.
Gao Xian said that he had enough financial resources to buy a flying magic tool, and he had even received one from someone else, but he felt that it was too big, very troublesome, and had a slow flying speed.
His Yin Yang Sky Wheel flew as fast as lightning and consumed very little mana. He could fly thousands of miles without stopping to rest. He felt that he did not need a flying device.
However, it does feel very different to soar in the sky on a flying boat with a beautiful woman.
Although the Qingye Flying Boat is as slow as an ox cart, it is comfortable and peaceful.
Fan Lingzhen opposite is very pleasing to the eyes. This woman is very interesting, sometimes very passionate, with spring waves flowing in her eyes, which is particularly alluring.
Sometimes he is very silent, even seeming a little gloomy and cold.
Normal people have different emotional states, which is normal. Fan Lingzhen's mood changes are often without reason, and his words and deeds will change significantly with his mood, and he looks like two different people.
The unpredictable Fan Lingzhen further aroused Gao Xian's interest.
Gao Xian was originally quite innocent, but after being taught by Li Feihuang and Shui Yuying, he gradually came to his senses.
Affairs between men and women are but a part of the scenery on the long road of life.
As long as you and I are willing, we can share the joy and beauty. Don't think too much about other things.
Gao Xian was just open-minded, not promiscuous. He thought Fan Ling was pretty good, but he would not take the initiative to seduce her.
The slow Qingye flying boat flew for five days before reaching Dagu Mountain.
Dagushan is not a single mountain, but a collective name for a group of mountains. The most special thing about it is that all the peaks are short and round, and the top of the mountain is extremely flat, as if it was flattened by something.
Looking down from the sky, it looks like a row of colorful drums lined up on the ground, stretching for thousands of miles away.
Fan Lingzhen had introduced the situation of Dagu Mountain to Gao Xian, but he was still a little surprised when he saw with his own eyes that the mountains looked like drums.
“Dagu Mountain really lives up to its name.”
Gao Xian asked casually, "What is the origin of such a strange mountain?"
"Some say that the underground wind erodes the mountain all day long, grinding it into this shape. Others say that a peerless master used the mountains as chess pieces, and that's why it became like this..."
Fan Lingzhen said: "Dagu Mountain has always looked like this since records began, but no one can explain its origins clearly."
She didn't care about it. The people here had long been accustomed to this strange geographical environment and no one cared about it.
"There are at least 70,000 to 80,000 monks in the Great Drum Square, so it's quite lively."
Fan Lingzhen said, "Let's take a day off first, what do you think, fellow Daoist?"
"It's all up to Brother Fan to arrange."
Gao Xian had no objection. If he wanted to kill the evil spirit, he had to find it. If it was really like what Fan Lingzhen said, there was no point in being anxious.
Dagufang is next to a big river. The outer wall is built with huge blue stones, which looks rather crude.
Most of the buildings inside have exterior walls built with huge stones, which look very thick and solid.
Most of the monks here are tall and strong. Not many of them wear robes. Instead, many of them wear half-body leather armor. The weapons they commonly use are bows and arrows, long swords and spears. They look very tough.
As soon as Gao Xian and Fan Lingzhen entered the Dagufang, the handsome man and the bright and elegant woman attracted the attention of people around them.
The cultivators here were tough and rough, but there were no fools. When they noticed the foundation-building aura on Gao Xian and Fan Lingzhen, everyone put away their fierce and unruly faces, lowered their eyes and dared not look any further.
The more skilled a cultivator is at fighting, the more he knows how powerful a great foundation-building cultivator is. As long as they are not tired of living, no one will provoke a great foundation-building cultivator.
Fan Lingzhen was very familiar with the place. She took Gao Xian into a big inn. With a single order, the innkeeper asked all the other guests in the inn to leave.
The originally bustling inn soon became quiet.
Fan Lingzhen and Gao Xian chose a clean guest room and rested.
Riding on the Qingye Flying Boat is comfortable, but flying in the sky is a long journey and will still make people tired.

Even Gao Xian is more accustomed to the down-to-earth feeling of being practical.
Gao Xian rested for most of the day and soon adjusted himself. He went to the front lobby and chatted with the shopkeeper and the waiter, mainly asking about the local customs and practices.
According to the shopkeeper, Dagu Mountain has a unique terrain and is rich in various magical herbs and medicines.
Collecting herbs is the main source of income for the cultivators in Dagufang. Because they go into the mountains to collect herbs all year round, they inevitably have to deal with monsters and beasts, so the cultivators here have a more aggressive style.
Of course, the main reason is that this place is adjacent to the Eastern Wasteland and has been greatly influenced by the Eastern Wasteland monsters. For example, the cultivators here all like to wear leather armor, or even iron armor.
For low-level cultivators, robes are expensive and not suitable for entering the mountains. Armor is more durable and has better protection.
Through casual chatting, Gao Xian also heard some evil news.
The evil spirit with two horns on its head has killed many cultivators in the past year or so. The cultivators in Dagufang are also in a state of panic.
Just to make a living, most people have no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
Gao Xian went out for a walk and heard almost the same story, saying that the evil spirit was powerful and its whereabouts were mysterious.
When he returned to the inn to look for Fan Lingzhen, the woman said she wanted to stay in seclusion for a few days. Gao Xian understood that Fan Lingzhen wanted him to try it himself first.
Gao Xian didn't care and just wanted to give it a try.
His spiritual awareness is strong, and his Thunder and Lightning Magic and Zhengyang Spear can both restrain evil spirits. His Green Lotus Crown and Robe can also restrain evil spirits.
Not to mention that he has the Tianshu Thunder Demon-Subduing Golden Whip in his hand, even the third-level evil spirit cannot withstand the attack of his golden whip.
Gao Xian asked the shopkeeper for help and soon found a team of cultivators who frequently went into the mountains.
There are five cultivators in this team, three men and two women. They all have rough looks, and even the two women are tall and strong.
The leading man is called Dong Yong, who has reached the ninth level of Qi training and is considered a well-known master in the Dagufang.
When Dong Yong heard that Gao Xian was going into the mountains to look for the evil spirit, he hesitated and said, "Master Gao, this evil spirit is very secretive and dangerous. It is said that it can also hide underground and penetrate wood."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
Since the evil spirit can use wood and earth escape techniques, it is almost impossible to catch him inside Dagu Mountain.
Liuhe Sect also sent several foundation-building monks to capture the evil spirit, but they returned empty-handed every time. One time, a foundation-building monk was seriously injured by the evil spirit.
Since Dagufang can't get rid of the evil spirit, everyone can only try to coexist with this guy.
Fortunately, the evil spirits didn't have a big appetite and didn't come out to kill people often. In the past year or so, only a few hundred cultivators had died at the hands of the evil spirits.
In total, only dozens of cultivators die in a month, which is less than the number of deaths in internal fighting among cultivators.
Dong Yong also had another concern. The foundation-building cultivator in front of him was too young, too handsome, and too clean.
He was wearing a set of magical instruments and robes, which made him look extraordinary.
It was obvious that this person must be a cultivator from a large sect. Such a foundation-building cultivator had probably never been into the mountains, let alone had no experience in dealing with second-level evil spirits.
If I really encounter that second-level evil spirit, I am afraid I will not be able to defeat it.
Gao Xian saw what Dong Yong and the others were thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I am a true disciple of Qingyun after all. I can still kill a small evil spirit."
"He is a true disciple of Qingyun, his surname is Gao, and he is so handsome..."
Dong Yong suddenly had an idea in his mind, "You are a great monk who is proficient in both magic and swordsmanship!"
"Haha, you've also heard of my little reputation."
Gao Xian laughed even more happily. This boy was big and strong, and quite good at talking.
"It's really Master Gao. We are relieved now."
Dong Yong was overjoyed. Although he didn't know about others, his reputation as an expert in both magic and swordsmanship was well-known.
This guy can even kill Jindan, so what can a small evil spirit do to him! Dong Yong said enthusiastically: "Master Gao, I'm not exaggerating, but my brothers and I are very familiar with the situation in the mountains..."
