Wonderland

Chapter 299: Mission Exemption
Patriarch Tianyi suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold lights flashed away.

The moment Patriarch Tianyi looked at him, Xiao Lin couldn't help shivering shrewdly. At this moment, Xiao Lin had the feeling that Patriarch Tianyi had seen through him.

In front of this Nascent Soul cultivator, he doesn't seem to have any secrets to speak of.

The only thing that made Xiao Lin feel lucky was that the moment Patriarch Tianyi looked at him, the spirit wood space deep in the center of his brow disappeared strangely without a trace.

"Are you Xiao Lin?" After only a slight glance, Patriarch Tianyi withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"Disciple Xiao Lin, pay homage to Patriarch Tianyi and all the elders." In front of Patriarch Tianyi and several Golden Core cultivators, Xiao Lin didn't dare to presume the slightest bit, and bowed to them.

"Isn't it that I haven't seen it before?" Xiao Lin had a respectful look on his face, but he was full of slander in his heart. He didn't believe that with the memory of a cultivator, Patriarch Tianyi would forget himself.

"In 20 years, it's really rare to advance from the middle stage of foundation establishment to the late stage. It seems that Lin Nvwa has chosen you as the representative of our Dancao Mountain to complete this task together, and she has not chosen the wrong person." Patriarch Tianyi suddenly said something that made Xiao Lin puzzled.

But after Tianyi Patriarch finished speaking, he stopped talking, closed his eyes slightly, and looked drowsy.

"Xiao Lin, the sect will entrust you with an important task this time." At this time, Su Qingyun, Xiao Lin's master, suddenly stepped forward, looked at him, and said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin felt somewhat doubtful, he was summoned here for no reason, and his master Su Qingyun also said that the sect would entrust him with an important task.

No matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing.

Xiao Lin didn't doubt Su Qingyun, but in Dancao Mountain, once Patriarch Tianyi spoke up, even Su Qingyun would have to obediently obey his orders.

Needless to say, the task assigned by Patriarch Tianyi must be extremely dangerous. Although he does not intend to abandon the sect just because of this, he is also extremely unwilling if the sect treats him as cannon fodder.

Therefore, he did not directly agree, but showed a hesitant expression.

"Su Qingyun, your disciple is not sincere enough for our Dancao Mountain." A white-faced old man who looked five or sixty years old next to him glanced at Xiao Lin, showed a disdainful smile, and said to Su Qingyun who was beside him.

"That's right, you dare to hesitate to shirk even the tasks ordered by the ancestors. Could it be that you want to betray Dancao Mountain?" A [-]-year-old black-faced man also echoed from the side.

"Lan Hong, isn't it normal for everyone to hesitate when facing life and death? Besides, as far as Su knows, most of the direct disciples of your Lan family have already gone to the If you say you have been disloyal to Dancao Mountain, I think your Lan family will bear the brunt of it." Su Qingyun said lightly.

"Su Qingyun, don't spout blood. The family disciples dismissed by Lan are all low-level disciples with weak cultivation bases. These people are useless to our Dancao Mountain crisis. Hmph, if your precious disciple If you don't want to take on this mission, I, a member of the Lan Family, are willing to take it on."

"Your Lan family? It seems that apart from Lan Xin, who has completed the foundation establishment, the rest? But there is no one in the late stage of foundation establishment. You don't want to let Lan Xin go, but Su is afraid that he hasn't arrived yet. Mission point, you will die of old age.”

"You? Don't bother Elder Su. As a Foundation Establishment Dzogchen cultivator, Lan Xin has at least three or forty years of lifespan, which is enough to complete this mission."

"Reporting to the patriarch, Wang Daoxin also thinks that it would be a little too much to send a disciple of the late foundation establishment stage to such an important task. It would be safer to send at least one disciple of the foundation establishment Dzogchen. Wang Daoxin's great-great-great-grandson, Wang Ping, has already entered the foundation establishment Dzogchen realm a few years ago, so he is fully qualified for this task." The forty-year-old black-faced man next to him turned around and bowed to the old ancestor, and then said.

Hearing this, although the expression on Xiao Lin's face didn't change much, his heart was full of surprise. The Lan Hong in front of him seemed to be the grand elder of the Lan family, one of the top ten cultivation families in Dancao Mountain.

Xiao Lin had a particularly deep memory of the Elder Lan Xin who wanted to blackmail him for his Foundation Establishment Pill back then. Originally, Xiao Lin believed that with that old man's narrow mind, he would definitely make trouble for him in the future, but after joining Su Qingyun's sect, this This idea has changed.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how vicious Lan Xin is, as long as he is not an idiot, he should not plot against himself. He embraced the big tree of Su Qingyun.

Facts in the future also proved that his guess was correct. Lan Xin really didn't bother him again. The only thing that made him suspicious was the time he was intercepted and killed by Qi Chang. After the mission, the news actually leaked out, and Qi Chang took the opportunity to set a trap.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a few cards in his hand, he would have been dead for many days at this moment. Xiao Lin has always suspected that the reason for the leak of the news is probably inseparable from Lan Xin.

This Lan Hong treated him so eccentrically, probably because of Lan Xin, but what puzzled Xiao Lin was that when encountering such a dangerous task, most people would have no time to avoid it, but Lan Xin and that name stood with him Wang Daoxin, who is so scrambling to take over this task at the same time.

"Could it be that there are great benefits in this task?" Xiao Lin thought in his heart, but he didn't agree to it. Even if there were great benefits, he didn't want them. Risks are directly proportional to rewards. This principle He still understands.

Before learning the details of this mission, he had no intention of expressing his opinion on it.

"How many of you go out first?" Patriarch Tianyi said suddenly with his eyes slightly closed.

Hearing that, except for Su Qingyun, the other seven people saluted Patriarch Tianyi one after another, then turned and left. Lan Hong still gave Xiao Lin a cold look before leaving.

Xiao Lin couldn't help feeling somewhat wary of this person.

After everyone left, Patriarch Tianyi glanced at Su Qingyun and nodded slightly.

"Teacher, do you know Lin Xueying?" Su Qingyun looked at Xiao Lin, and his tone softened a lot.

Hearing the word Lin Xueying, Xiao Lin was slightly taken aback. He was somewhat puzzled, why Su Qingyun would mention this woman suddenly, and how did he know that he knew Lin Xueying?

After separating from Lin Xueying and returning to Dancao Mountain, Xiao Lin never told his master Su Qingyun that he saved Lin Xueying halfway.

Seeing his apprentice's cautious expression, it seemed that he would not explain the matter clearly, and would never express his attitude, Su Qingyun couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

"This mission was mainly initiated by Tianyun Pavilion. The other four sects sent out one person each to form a five-member team. The leader of the team is Lin Xueying, and as a teacher, I can tell you the reason why we chose you as our team. The representative of Dancao Mountain actually stems from the fact that Lin Xueying asked you to participate by name."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood that it was because of this woman that he was assigned a task by the sect, so he couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart.

"It seems that I should be less kind in the future." Xiao Lin warned himself in his heart, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"You don't have to worry, this mission may not be a disaster." Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Su Qingyun, who has lived for hundreds of years, doesn't know what he is thinking, but Su Qingyun did not blame Xiao Lin for this, On the contrary, he praised his apprentice a little more.

The purpose of a cultivator to cultivate the truth and practice the Dao is to gain longevity, and rashly putting himself in danger is not the performance of a mature cultivator. On the contrary, for a cultivator, the higher the realm, the more he cherishes his life.

After all, one can continue to practice only if one has one's life, so as to obtain the chance of longevity. If one's life is gone, what is the word of longevity.

Hearing Su Qingyun say "it may not be a disaster", Xiao Lin couldn't help raising his head, and looked at Su Qingyun with a puzzled look on his face.

"As long as you complete this mission, Dancao Mountain will not only let you go free, but the five great sects will reward each of you with a Tianlu Token. Those who hold the Tianlu Token can ask the five great sects to If you want to do something for him, as long as the five major sects can do it without endangering the five major sects themselves, you cannot refuse."

"Of course, the freedom here does not mean that you will leave Dancao Mountain, but that from now on, you will not be required to take responsibility for the sect. You can just sit by or just fly away." Looking at Xiao Lin, Su Qingyun had a solemn expression on his face.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was really moved. If he could complete this task, he would be able to avoid the war between the five major sects and the ancient Xuanzong. For him, it was indeed a very good condition.

Moreover, he can also get a Tianlu Token that allows any of the five major sects to do one thing for him. This is a great honor. Just this Tianlu Token can definitely be described as a priceless treasure.

It's just that such a generous condition corresponds to the extremely dangerous mission. If it is not done well, if the reward is not received, my own life will be reimbursed in the process of performing the mission.

But even if he refused, his master and Patriarch Tianyi didn't force him, but in the subsequent war with Gu Xuanzong, it was difficult for him to stay out of it and face the overwhelming fighting among monks.

Xiao Lin was really not sure that he could survive.

There are risks left and right, Xiao Lin knows that he cannot avoid this calamity.

"Master, can this disciple know what the mission is about?" Xiao Lin finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

Shaking his head, Su Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "You are so difficult to be a teacher. Apart from the five patriarchs, only Lin Xueying from Tianyun Pavilion knows about the content of this task."

"This mission is top-secret. Before completing the mission, no one can know the content of the mission in advance, but the old man can guarantee that compared with the upcoming battle with Ancient Xuanzong, it is definitely a wise person to take this mission. Choose." Patriarch Tianyi opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Lin, and said in a deep voice.
