Chapter 2114 Yuan Xiang
Chapter 2114 Yuan Xiang
Since the moment many people set foot on the path of cultivation, they have been instilled with the idea that the Storm Realm is in danger, and they regard the Changyou tribe as a great enemy and personally go to the battlefield to fight with the Changyou tribe. For the disciples of Qingyang Temple and even the cultivators of the entire Storm Realm, the recent period is an unprecedented time of peace.
Only a few people including Qin Sang knew how dangerous and urgent the situation was. Fortunately, the Lu family army did not show up and the Changyou tribe did not make any unusual movements.
As time went by, the situation was gradually tilting towards the direction Qin Sang wanted.
After Zhuque's breakthrough, it was as if a natural progression. He quickly consolidated his cultivation and rushed to the Western Land to take charge of the branch altar.
Qin Sang was able to extricate himself, but he did not return to Qingyang Temple. His whereabouts were erratic, and he appeared in various corners of the Storm Realm from time to time, secretly arranging something.
……
Storm is coming.
Now it’s more like the calm before the storm.
At the western border, the gentle sea breeze pushes the sea water onto the shore, splashing white foam that ripples with the waves.
A group of seabirds glided across the sky, drawing graceful arcs and diving into the clouds.
After the flock of birds flew past, two streaks of light flew in from somewhere in the sky, silently but at an extremely fast speed, and flew over the western land in the blink of an eye.
In the flowing light, two figures were vaguely visible, one of them was Yuan Miao, and the other was a white-haired old man, a head shorter than Yuan Miao, with a round belly, a long beard that almost dragged on the ground, cloudy eyes, and looked drunk.
He was leaning on a cane in his hand, which was a smooth yellow wooden stick. No one knew what it was made of. A red gourd was tied to the top of the stick, swaying gently in the wind.
After entering the Western Land, Yuan Miao moved his lips slightly and was about to make some introductions, but he saw the old man next to him going straight to the Great Compassion Temple, as if he was very familiar with the place. So he closed his mouth and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Yuan Miao suppressed his curiosity and silently followed the white-haired old man across the desert.
Along the way, Yuan Miao noticed that more and more Buddhist temples and altars were built in the desert. It seemed that the scale of the altars was larger than he expected.
Before, he thought Qin Sang was making a big fuss out of nothing, and that it would be difficult for the Changyou tribe to find helpers who could fight against Qin Sang, so they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Now I realize that being cautious is justified. It turns out that fellow Daoist Qu Lin from the Siyou clan has so many entanglements.
The old man apparently also noticed the altar and stopped above a Buddhist temple, but did not force his way in. He looked at it with great interest for a while and then left.
The monks in the temple had no idea that someone was watching them from above, but at this moment, Suzaku, who was sitting in charge of the Western Altar, was so fur-filled that his entire body was about to stand up!
After entering the Western Land, Yuan Miao and the white-haired old man did not hide their aura.
As the altar formation becomes more and more perfect, the person in charge of the altar can rely on the connection between the altars to sense the changes in the energy of each altar and the vicinity of the altar.
When Yuan Miao and the white-haired old man passed by the altar, Zhuque sensed two powerful auras coming towards the interior of the Storm Realm.
The other party was simply unscrupulous, and had an extremely strong aura that even Qin Sang's Dharma body could not compare to. His realm was self-evident.
It is probably not a good sign for a top-notch expert to break into the Storm Realm at this time.
Suzaku was also unclear whether the altar formation could be activated now and how powerful it was, but it was absolutely impossible for it to go out and stop the opponent in person!
It immediately activated the restriction, activated the altar, and informed Qin Sang's Dharma body, who was sitting at the main altar, of the matter.
Yuan Miao and the white-haired old man had no idea that a demon bird was being frightened by them.
Leave the Buddhist temple and continue eastward.
When they were almost at the Dabei Zen Temple, the old man's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly stopped, looked into the distance, and then used his escape technique, his speed increased rapidly, broke through the air, and left behind a sentence.
"Little monkey, I'm going to meet him first, you follow slowly."
Yuan Miao's face twitched and he roared in his heart, "Grandfather, I have grown up!"
Little Monkey was his nickname, because he looked most like a monkey when he was born. An ancestor gave him this nickname with his own words.
However, ever since he entered the Void Realm, almost no one dared to call him by this name.
But this one, this one...
Yuan Miao couldn't help but feel discouraged.
……
Desert edge.
Qin Sang is flying in the air.
In his hand was an object, a three-story small tower, carved like crystal, exquisite and translucent.
This is the treasure that Si Lu had refined, named the Broken Sky Spirit Tower, which can restrict the Si You clan's technique of mutual transformation. However, in order to unleash the true power of this treasure and leave the opponent behind, it requires extremely precise control of the timing, and it is not easy to use.
Qin Sang was trying to comprehend this treasure, hoping to gain some inspiration and apply it to the Thunder Altar.
Playing with the Duankong Ling Pagoda in his hand, Qin Sang frowned slightly. He was patrolling inland just now and rushed here immediately after receiving the news.
According to Zhuque's description, there were two visitors, one of whom should be Yuan Miao. Yuan Miao did not reply to his letter, and this time he came unannounced, bringing a mysterious master with him, and no one knew what his purpose was.
Qin Sang believed that Yuan Miao would not harm him without reason, and he had the protection of the Xuxuan divine light of the Tianmu Butterfly, so he came in person to avoid any neglect.
While flying, Qin Sang sensed a strange breath approaching. His heart trembled and he immediately put the Duankong Lingta into the Qianjun Ring, pressed the escape light, and was secretly alert.
A moment later, Qin Sang suddenly turned his head and looked towards the forest on one side, and at the same time heard someone asking a question.
"You are cultivating Buddhist magical powers and building a Taoist altar. I wonder if you are a Buddhist or Taoist disciple?"
I saw an ancient tree in the forest. On the crown of the tree, a white-haired old man appeared out of nowhere. He sat on a branch with his legs crossed, and his long beard hung between his legs.
He took the red gourd, uncorked it, and immediately a rich aroma of wine gushed out.
The aroma of wine instantly filled the forest. The plants and trees in the forest began to stir. The birds, beasts, fish and insects all seemed to be drunk. Their faces were flushed, their bodies were twisting and turning, and finally they fell into a deep sleep.
The old man took a sip of wine happily and looked at Qin Sang with interest.
Qin Sang's nose twitched slightly, thinking that this was definitely not an ordinary wine. When the creatures in the mountains smelled the aroma of the wine, he wondered how many of them would be enlightened and change their fate.
"I am Qin Sang, may I ask for your honorable title, fellow Taoist?"
Qin Sang also landed on top of an ancient tree, bowed from a distance, and spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
His heart was filled with turmoil.
Before, Si Lu and Yuan Miao didn't know the origin of Lei Tan, but this person revealed it in one sentence. This person is obviously very familiar with the human race, and it is unknown what his connection with the human race is.
"He is indeed a descendant of the Taoist sect..."
The old man nodded, "I am Yuan Xiang."
Yuanxiang!
The Zhuyan clan leader!
Qin Sang was surprised. It was beyond his expectation that he had attracted this person.
The Siyou tribe has already sent spies and will take action sooner or later. It is normal for the Zhuyan tribe to send people with higher status when they find that Yuan Miao cannot control the situation.
Unexpectedly, it directly alarmed the clan leader!
Not counting the saints and ancestral masters in the holy land, the patriarchs of the major clans are all the top figures of the alien race, and they can be counted on one hand.
The goal of these people should be to impact the holy realm. Chief Yuan Xiang has long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and is like a dragon that is hard to find.
Coming with Yuan Miao, there is no doubt that Yuan Xiang is the clan leader. Such a strong man would not bother to impersonate someone else.
Qin Sang's expression became solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "I didn't know it was the clan leader who came. I am sorry for my lack of courtesy. I hope the clan leader will forgive me for my negligence!"
"The Taoist elders eat wind and drink dew, are free and easy, are not bound by conventions, and are free and easy. I have always admired them."
Yuan Xiang wiped the corner of his mouth and waved his hand indifferently.
Qin Sang thought to himself that you must be talking about the Danding School of Taoism. As far as he knew, the rules and etiquette of the Fulu School were very complicated.
However, it can be seen from this that Yuan Xiang is very familiar with the human race, and may have left the Sea of Mist and traveled around the Great Zhou.
Qin Sang had never expected that a small storm world could alarm the leader of the Yuanxiang clan. The unusual situation also caused Qin Sang to have many doubts, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He suddenly had a feeling that there might not be so simple behind the Storm Realm.
According to common sense, it would be impossible for the Storm Realm to hide the fact that it was ascending into the Zhuyan Clan's territory.
Qin Sang had been thinking about how to get along with the Zhuyan tribe.
After returning to the Storm Realm, he found out various things, such as the existence of such rare treasures as the Qingling Qi, the Changyou Clan had reasons to conceal it, the Zhuyan Clan was very magnanimous to the Yu Clan, and Yuan Miao knew nothing about this, which forced Qin Sang to believe this fact.
The sudden appearance of Chief Yuanxiang made Qin Sang realize that these might just be appearances.
Qin Sang was confused as to whether the sudden change was a good thing or a bad thing. Yuan Xiang asked, "Since you are also a descendant of the Taoist sect, did Liuli Fairy's master ask you to come?"
After saying that, Yuan Xiang muttered to himself, "We should be master and apprentice now."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Sang's eyes flashed and his heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Everything is just an appearance. The Storm Realm has been able to remain safe and sound in the sea of fog for nearly a thousand years. There must be another hidden story behind it!
The Master Liuli that Yuan Xiang mentioned is obviously not Bingyao. They were master and disciple before, so how could they become master and disciple?
The remains of Ziwei Palace also indicate that Bingyao is in great danger.
Who is Liuli's new master? Why are Tong Lingyu, Li Yufu, and even Shi Xue unaware of it? The entire Storm Realm knows nothing about it!
Liuli's trip this time was probably to visit that master.
When Yuan Xiang mentioned this person, his expression was extremely solemn, which shows that Master Liuli's cultivation and status must be extremely high.
Could it be some senior who has ascended to heaven?
Or maybe some powerful human who traveled here?
However, what Qin Sang was thinking about at this moment were the various secrets of the Storm Realm. In addition to the Ziwei Palace, there was also the existence that the First Sword Servant feared. Was there any other hidden story behind the ascension of the entire world?
Could it be that I have finally seen the tip of the iceberg?
"I don't know who the clan leader is talking about, but I'm sure it's not the Taoist friend I knew before," Qin Sang thought for a moment and replied.
"As expected! It seems that you ascended from the lower realm to the Great Thousand World, and later learned about this matter, and came here on your own, not under the guidance of others. The Great Thousand World is so vast and boundless, it is really not easy for you to find this place."
Yuan Xiang took another sip of wine and sighed, "Unexpectedly, it was a combination of mistakes that led to so many misunderstandings."
At this moment, Qin Sang could already guess something and asked, "I wonder what the misunderstanding that the clan leader mentioned is about?"
"Since you don't know that person, I can't reveal his identity..."
Yuan Xiang looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about what to say and what not to say.
"Back then, that person came to me and asked me to take care of you and not let your tribe perish. But you and the Changyou tribe have a deep hatred, and as a member of the upper tribe, I cannot side with the outsiders and forcibly stop the Changyou tribe from taking revenge. So I made an agreement with that person that I would not stop you from fighting with the Changyou tribe. In the future, as long as you do not take the initiative to make enemies with others, no one will deal with you, and no one will bully the weak. That person agreed. Over the years, he has not appeared again, and I have never interfered. This time, you have defected to the Siyou tribe and caused great trouble, and it is difficult for me to intervene."
After hearing Yuan Xiang's words, Qin Sang suddenly understood everything, and all his previous doubts were explained.
The Storm Realm can survive in the alien territory, and there is indeed someone taking care of it, but only Liuli in the entire Storm Realm knows this.
Qin Sang became more and more curious about Master Liuli's identity.
For some unknown reason, that person never showed up and just asked Chief Yuan Xiang to keep an eye on things secretly.
Is it because that person is not convenient to take action, or is it a kind of training for Liuli?
The big trouble Yuan Xiang was talking about must be the Siyou tribe's preparation to attack. From this point of view, this big trouble was brought upon himself without his knowledge.
However, if I hadn't come back and Min Zhuo had broken through, the situation in the Storm Realm would still be very dangerous. I wonder if Chief Yuan Xiang would come forward.
"The big trouble that the clan leader mentioned is referring to the Lu family of the Siyou clan?" Qin Sang asked knowingly.
"Not only the Hanjiang Lu family, but also the royal family, claim that the one you surrendered to is a traitor of the Yanshan Si family, and there will be royal masters to fight together. You have become the royal family of the Yanshan Si family, and this is an internal matter of the Siyou clan. It is not legitimate for me to take action. At most, I can only impose some restrictions on them and delay them for a while. Whether you can survive this disaster depends on you!"
After Yuan Xiang finished speaking, he saw that Qin Sang was not panicked, and looked at him deeply, "I see that you are not panicked, it seems that you have a good plan."
"I have already found a safe place in advance and sent some younger generations there. Even if the worst happens, we can still leave some incense behind."
Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
Everything was as they expected, even better than expected.
This is the territory of the Zhuyan tribe. The Siyou tribe cannot send out all their forces. As long as Chief Yuanxiang is willing, he can make reasonable demands to limit the number of masters from the Siyou tribe. Chief Yuanxiang cooperates to delay time until the Thunder Altar is built. It is still unknown who will win or lose!
Of course, Qin Sang would not show all his thoughts, even though the Yuanxiang clan leader seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy.
He asked urgently, "Can Chief Yuan Xiang contact Liuli Fairy's master, or tell me where that Taoist temple is? I am willing to visit it in person."
"Ziyun Mountain, do you know about it?" Yuan Xiang asked back.
Qin Sang thought for a while and shook his head slightly.
It is said that outside of Kanzhou, in the East China Sea, there are many hidden forces and masters of the human race. Qin Sang has heard some legends, but there is no Ziyun Mountain.
"This is it."
Yuan Xiang said: "That person has been practicing in Ziyun Mountain, but I only know that Ziyun Mountain is near the sea of fog. I don't know where Ziyun Mountain is located, and there is no way to send a message to him. It has always been Ziyun Mountain that contacts our clan."
