Going on a mission

Going on a mission

Early the next morning, in front of Tianyan Sect Mountain Gate.

Jiang Yuebai stood in the square outside the archway, stunned, with the words Lu Ying said to her yesterday echoing in her mind.

She was not angry, but was confused as to why Lu Ying's attitudes were inconsistent.

When we met for the first time that day, she obviously jumped up to her and hugged her tightly. She was relieved and asked her why she came back.

In just ten days, he blamed her for coming back, said all the unpleasant things to her, and asked her to leave.

What happened in the meantime?

Jiang Yuebai's intuition was related to Song Pei'er. She wanted to visit Song Pei'er, but Lu Ying was also hysterical and told her to get out.

Jiang Yuebai was in a dilemma and wanted to help Lu Ying, but she resisted. She asked Shi Xiaowu and Guo Zhen, but they also said they didn't know the inside story.

In desperation, Jiang Yuebai could only give up for the time being and go out to do tasks first, bury his grandfather, explore the cave to find the method to build the foundation of "Five Elements Returning True Skill", and then deal with other trivial matters with peace of mind when he comes back.

Maybe after Lu Ying calms down for a while, she will be willing to tell her that she has told Guo Zhen and Shi Xiaowu to keep an eye on Lu Ying these days.

She also left some ninth-grade mid-level talismans she drew herself, and told them to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to find Hong Tao if they encountered something they couldn't solve.

"I'm sorry, I haven't returned to the sect for many years and I don't know my way around. It's too late for me."

A sixth-level qi-training monk with white hair and a child-like face, an immortal spirit and Taoist spirit, came on foot. He was as light as a swallow and had the posture of a martial artist.

His cultivation level is not high. He wears a Taoist robe and holds a fly whisk. His temperament is more fairy-like than the real master of the sect. He fits the appearance of an old god in the eyes of mortals.

"The poor Taoist Zhao Wude has met Senior Sister Jiang."

He brushed the dust and bowed with one hand, respectfully and gracefully.

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "There is still one person who has not arrived yet."

The mission requirements for this time were for two late-stage Qi practitioners to escort Zhao Wude to Yuyang County, Qingzhou, and without destroying the Five Flavors Temple, build another Taoist statue in the Taoist temple and place the Tianyan Sect's contact circle in it.

Everything was placed on Zhao Wude, and what to do with it was also his task. Jiang Yuebai and another inner disciple named Yun Shang only needed to protect them.

In fact, if there had not happened to be a demonic disaster that had not been investigated clearly, there would not have been such a mission. Zhao Wude could handle everything by himself.

Jiang Yuebai was more willing to take on the task of exterminating demons, but it was a pity that he was too slow.

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Yuebai's ears twitched slightly, and she heard a noise from the horizon. She turned around and saw a large black eagle flying out of the clouds and mist, with its gold-plated saddle and horse shining, very majestic.

The big eagle landed on the ground, and the heroic female cultivator in red jumped down from behind the big eagle. She was carrying a treasure box with an expressionless face. It was Yu Qiuchi who was the most powerful in the inner sect's foundation building period.

Zhao Wude hurriedly bowed and bowed, not daring to raise his head. Jiang Yuebai cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Uncle Yu."

Yu Qiuchi adjusted the reins of the big eagle, glanced at Jiang Yuebai casually, and nodded slightly to show his greeting.

At this time, Yu Qiuchi looked past Jiang Yuebai and suddenly smiled.

"Yunshang, are you going on a mission today?"

Yu Qiuchi's aloof and arrogant demeanor calmed down, and he walked straight past Jiang Yuebai towards the mountain gate archway. Seeing this, the two guarding disciples bowed and left, not daring to disturb Yu Qiuchi's conversation with others.

Jiang Yuebai saw a girl wearing white clothes of an inner disciple standing by the archway with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, nervous and resistant, tightly hugging the bald little monkey in her arms.

As Yu Qiuchi approached, Yun Shang backed away, lowering his head and not making eye contact with her.

Yu Qiuchi didn't dare to approach anymore, but Jiang Yuebai actually saw Yu Qiuchi's cautious approach to please him.

"What kind of mission? If it's dangerous, I'll go with you."

Yun Shang bit her lip and refused to speak. The ugly little monkey in her arms bared its teeth at Yu Qiuchi with a bad attitude.

Yun Shang rubbed the little monkey's head and whispered, "We don't get angry with sanctimonious people. It's not good to ask others to wait. Let's leave quickly."

Yun Shang avoided Yu Qiuchi like a snake and scorpion, and walked far away towards Jiang Yuebai and Zhao Wude.

Yu Qiuchi never caught up with him, but just looked at Yun Shang with concern on his face.

Jiang Yuebai's eyes moved slightly, a little curious about the story inside.

After Yun Shang came over, he only glanced at her and Zhao Wude quickly, said his name, and stayed away without any intention of talking.

Jiang Yuebai looked at her. She seemed very nervous, as if she was afraid that Jiang Yuebai would talk to her.

"Let's go, let's talk about anything on the way."

Zhao Wude and Jiang Yuebai took out their flying swords. Yun Shang hung several spirit beast bags around her waist, and opened one of them to release the crossing geese.

Unlike the majestic Duyan that the sect lent to disciples, hers was old and hairless and very ugly.

The three of them set out on the road together, with Zhao Wude leading the way, Jiang Yuebai in the middle, and Yun Shang following far behind.

Jiang Yuebai just observed that Yun Shang is about the same age as her, but he is not a disciple who started at the same time as her. He must have been born in Tianyan Sect and was at the ninth level of Qi training at this time.

Last time, the sect leader said that there were five people including her who had reached the seventh level of Qi training in the inner sect within five years. He only mentioned the disciples who started at the same time as her, and did not include those disciples who were originally born in Tianyan Sect, as well as others.

An older disciple.

In fact, among the outer sect and inner sect, there are many disciples in the late stage of Qi training.

It takes about ten days to travel from Tianyan Sect to Qingzhou Yujian in Yun State, and there is no teleportation array within one month of the journey.

Jiang Yuebai was a little curious and confused about this task, so he came to Zhao Wude's side with his sword.

"Please tell me, Junior Brother Zhao, why Tianyan Sect must set up Taoist temples in the mortal world. Doesn't it mean that immortal cultivators cannot easily disturb the fate of mortals?"

Jiang Yuebai didn't have the airs of an inner disciple and had a friendly attitude. Zhao Wude felt good about him and explained slowly.

"I wonder if Senior Sister has ever heard a saying, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. The belief of living beings in Taoism has its own importance. The truth is too profound, and I can't fully understand it. I only know that Taoism is like this in the world, and in the mortal world

Establish Taoist temples to spread and stabilize Taoist beliefs."

"The Taoist temple monitors the public sentiment and will not affect the fate of mortals. Only when there is a demonic disaster that mortals cannot contend with, the immortal sect will take action to quell the disaster. This is a merit and affects the destiny of the immortal sect. In addition, the power of the Taoist sect in the world is divided into three parts.

Xiu, the Immortal Sect and the Family.”

"Rogue cultivators act as they please and are not restricted. If you interfere arbitrarily in the life and death of mortals, you can only be punished by heaven. Immortal sects have rules. Only Taoist temples are set up and no court is allowed. Only when mortals come to visit can they take action at their own discretion. Most cultivator families are mortals.

The head of the dynasty will send loyal but hopeless qi training disciples from the clan to serve as national teachers in the dynasty."

"But no matter how you say it, both the Immortal Sect and the family are doing it to stabilize the Taoist sect's faith and promote the Taoist sect's destiny. The Sixteen Divisions of Xiyun Zen Sect has flourished, and they also act in the same way."

Jiang Yuebai asked in confusion, "I understand, but this task seems very important, why are you sending a disciple with no future?"

Zhao Wude smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I don't know. Mortal desires are the most difficult to understand. The seven emotions and six desires are involved in the body. If the heart of seeking immortality and cutting off the worldly fate is not strong, even if you can't pass a single test of building the foundation and asking the inner demons, it is equivalent to cutting off the path to immortality. Therefore, those who cultivate immortality

No one wants to go deep into the mortal world, only those monks who have no future are willing to enter the mortal world to serve for the sake of future generations."

"You too?" Jiang Yuebai asked.

Zhao Wude said without any grudges: "Yes, I started the Taoist temple when I was young, and then I fought with others and damaged the foundation. There is no hope of building the foundation. But my wife and child still have a bright future. For their sake, I took over the job of guarding the Taoist temple in the world."

Task, earn some contribution points for the two of them to practice in the sect."

"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans. Junior Brother Zhao's heart is admirable."

Zhao Wude smiled broadly and said, "Senior sister, I am overrated. In fact, I lived a very happy life in the mortal world. Everyone called me the old god, and I was in awe. Even the senior officials in the mortal world did not dare to make mistakes in front of me. I have to say

, this feeling is addictive.”

"Even if you give me the chance to build a foundation at this time, I can't let go of this life of immortality. There is no one to restrain me in the Taoist temple. As long as I don't encounter powerful monsters, I will be the king. I can scare the world with just a few magic spells, and enjoy good wine and delicious food."

It’s never too much, not to mention how comfortable it is.”

Jiang Yuebai chuckled and nodded, "It's really comfortable."

But these days will eventually come to an end, and they will still be bound by longevity and the way of heaven. They are not truly free and at ease.

Behind them, the flying goose suddenly flew to the two of them. Yun Shang held the little monkey and stammered: "Well, there is someone behind us."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "You should be here for me. You go first. I will wait for half a day in Ningyuan City."

After saying that, Jiang Yuebai turned the flying sword and galloped away in the other direction.

Thanks to [mackenze] for the ten thousand reward, I will add an update first, and the 12 o'clock update will not change. I think I should formulate a rule for adding updates. Let me think about it and write it in the check-in building in the book review area...
