Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 402 Ten Years
Lu Ye also didn't expect that the mechanical puppet donkey made by Master Mo was so durable. After so many years, it was still strong.

Apart from the fact that it looks a bit shabby and like a scabby donkey, it looks like it can still be used for a long time.

Elder Tie Gong was helped onto the donkey's saddle, and the donkey's back automatically spread apart, as if it wanted to swallow his body.

By the time he reacted, most of his body was buried in the bed, in a half-lying position, with only his head left outside.

The donkey waved its hooves and ran a few laps quickly and steadily. In the middle, a few half-broken wings grew out from under its ribs, one on the left and three on the right, and they were not evenly spaced.

It's amazing that this mechanical donkey can fly into the sky by relying on it, and its speed is not slow.

When the donkey descended from the sky, Elder Tiegong's face looked unhappy - he was frightened.

Just now, he almost thought that these traitors were resentful of him for charging too much for becoming his apprentice, and they were going to betray their master and ancestors.

"Master, with this donkey as a mount, you won't have to suffer a bumpy ride on the way back."

When he saw Shu Chitu's enthusiastic face, Elder Tiegong realized that he had misunderstood his disciples.

"Ugh……"

Elder Tie Gong had mixed thoughts in his mind and he sighed deeply.

He still hasn't figured out why the mysterious Jindan master attacked him yesterday.

Fortunately, Lan and the old ancestor passed by and rescued us last night, and also attracted the Lingyun Sect's monk Qi Zhentao, a master of the second level of the Golden Core of the Heavenly Ladder.

But after we set off today, what should we do if the mysterious enemy attacks again?

Although Lan and Laozu agreed to escort them, the man who attacked yesterday had insidious and sophisticated magical powers, and his magic power was smooth and changeable. It was obvious that he had entered the Golden Elixir stage for many years.

If Ancestor Lan were to deal with him alone, he would probably not be the match.

I am already a disabled person, so my death is not a pity, but if these four disciples die with this old bone, it would really not be worth it.

They are still young, and have only embarked on the path of cultivating immortals for more than ten years. They have great potential and may become the pillars of the Gushan Sect in the future. They must not fail here.

He only hoped that he could sacrifice his old face and ask Qi Zhentao and Shang Tianti to escort him all the way because the Gushan Sect had always been submissive.

In addition, Patriarch Fuyun and Qi Zhentao have always had a very good relationship, so he can play the emotional card and get two powerful bodyguards.

at this time.

Lu Ye walked forward and bowed to Elder Tie Gong.

"Elder Tie, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if it is appropriate to say it now?"

Elder Tiegong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Elder Lan had changed his mind after a night's sleep and was unwilling to escort him and his group back to the mountain.

He felt bitter in his heart and forced a smile on his face.

"Of course it fits."

No matter what, the other party is their savior.

Helping yourself is a moral obligation, not helping yourself is your duty, and it cannot be forced.

Who would have expected Lu Ye to change his tone?

"Elder Tie, I promise to escort you back to Gushan Sect."

"But I have an unwelcome request. Now, because of the fight with the mysterious opponent, I have offended a veteran Jindan."

"Although Lan is not afraid of retaliation, I have the entire family behind me after all."

"It just so happens that Lan has left Huangsha Mountain, and he also wants to find a safe place for his family to settle down."

"I wonder if Gushan Sect would welcome me, Lan, to be a guest elder?"

When Elder Tiegong heard this, his eyes lit up and a blush flashed across his face.

he blurted out.

"This is a great thing!"

"Don't worry, Ancestor Lan. Our Gushan Sect is eager to recruit talented people. If you go, you will not regret it."

"As for resettling our clansmen, that's not a problem. Our Gushan Sect is a large Jindan Sect after all, and our disciples also manage seven or eight markets."

"There are enough places for the Lan clan to live."

Lu Ye smiled and said that this was the best, but without the approval of Patriarch Fuyun, he was afraid that things might get complicated.

Elder Tie Gong said this matter is easy to handle.

He took out a storage ring from his finger, dripped blood into it, cast a spell to open it, and took out a few small jade swords from it.

Elder Tiegong's current condition is that his qi sea is ruptured, his magic power is being lost at an accelerated rate, and he has become irreversibly disabled.

Fortunately, he could still survive for a few more days before completely losing his magic power, so he used the little magic power he had left to mobilize the spiritual consciousness in his sea of ​​consciousness and quickly left messages on several jade swords.

"go……"

Elder Tie Gong chanted an incantation and threw several jade swords into the sky. The jade swords immediately circled in the air and flew in different directions.

"Excuse me," he coughed a few times, "I use the flying sword technique of Gushan School to deliver letters."

"As long as you cast the spell, these jade swords will fly back to Xiaogushan Mountain within a few hundred miles."

"As long as one of the jade swords flies back, the leader will receive the news."

"I have the mother sheath here. Master, put the flying sword back. If everything goes well, it will automatically fly back to you. You will naturally know the master's will."

"Don't worry, Ancestor Lan, this will most likely work."

Lan He is a newly promoted Jindan with a clean background and no family support. It is reassuring to see such a person join the sect and bring his family with him.

I wonder how many sects would like to recruit such a person as a guest official.

Lu Ye smiled and said that this was the best.

The two of them got along well and decided to send Shu Chitu to get the Luye token and the divine jade slip to notify the Lan clan members who were migrating and change their route to head towards Gushan clan first.

Shu Chitu took the order, released the large eagle with silver feathers, rode on it, and immediately flew away like an arrow.

Lu Ye was also very certain that the Gushan Sect would definitely open its doors to welcome him and his people.

Wang Hu and others revealed inside information that the Gushan Sect had only one golden elixir master, Patriarch Fuyun, and his time limit was approaching. There were several elders who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, but none of them could take the last step, so a golden elixir master was urgently needed to hold the situation together.

Lu Ye knew very well that as long as Patriarch Fuyun was not confused, he would definitely accept him as a guest elder of the Gushan Sect.

As for who will inherit the legacy of Ancestor Fuyun a hundred years later, it depends on whether the Gushan Sect can produce its own golden elixir during this period.

All that Patriarch Fuyun wants is that his foundation will not be destroyed in his hands.

Elder Tie Gong patted his chest again and again to make assurances.

"My Gushan Sect is eager to recruit talented people. It is a great joy that Fellow Daoist Lan is willing to join. Ancestor Fuyun will definitely agree."

In a harmonious atmosphere.

Several beams of light flew over, it was Elder Qi Zhentao and his entourage.

Lu Ye and Elder Tie briefly recounted their previous events and expressed their desire to become guest elders of the Gushan Sect.

Elder Tie Gong also said in a humble tone, "Please consider that we are both from the righteous path, and sincerely invite two Jindan masters from the upper sect to escort us."

"I have sent a letter to the head of my sect by flying sword. You just need to escort it until Patriarch Fuyun arrives."

Qi Zhentao thought for a moment and then laughed out loud.

"Be a good person to the end. I'd better send you back to the Lonely Mountain Sect."

"Old Ancestor Fuyun and I are close friends. I have been very busy since I came out of seclusion this time, and I haven't seen my old friend yet. This is a good opportunity to meet him."

Since everyone agreed, they set off immediately, using their light of escape to rush away to the south.

They walked not far behind.

A dark cloud swept across the sky.

After hovering nearby for a while, the black clouds finally pounced on this place, hanging down like a curtain.

After landing, Mo Ruyan walked out of the black mist, holding a pair of black sunglasses in her hand. There were several auras mixed together in the mirror, rising high, like a poisonous snake standing with its head held high, turning around everywhere, like a compass pointing the way.

When they arrived here, virtual arrows composed of several mixed auras were spinning wildly.

"It's right here!"

"They must have stayed here last night."

She coughed, her face still a little pale, and looked around carefully.

There is a gas-like shadow on the black sunglasses, which is the breath of several people that Mo Ruyan absorbed during the battle yesterday. Using a secret method, he can roughly track the positions of several people.

Yesterday she used the blood hand print magic to deal with everyone and hide her true identity, but who knew that Lan He would show up halfway to stop her.

Just as she was about to destroy it, Qi Zhentao and the monk Tianti came running.

Under the attack of the three Jindan monks, especially the combined attack technique used by Qi Zhentao and Monk Tianti, the power was even more astonishing.

Mo Ruyan had no choice but to turn around and run away.

According to common sense, there are three Jindan here, so she shouldn't follow them no matter what.

How foolish it is to fight against three Jindan just for the sake of three Qi-cultivating rebels.

It was just a battle with Lan He yesterday.

Mo Ruyan used the Dark Demon Realm to disguise his flying sword and make it invisible to deal with Lan He, but the opponent released an invisible flying sword to block his black sword.

Everything that happened in the black curtain barrier could not escape Mo Ruyan's spiritual sense, and she was surprised and happy at the moment.

Although she was chased away by the three men and suffered minor injuries, her greed overwhelmed her hatred, and after a night's rest, she came here alone again today.

The reason why Yuzhu and Ersanren were not called was because treasures like the Invisible Sword could really be used as a life-saving trump card.

"Perhaps they separated on the road?"

Mo Ruyan sensed it for a moment, then, just in case, she soared into the air and chased after him.

The pursuit lasted for two days.

Lu Ye, Qi Zhentao and Shang Tianti were carrying the seriously injured Elder Tie Gong, so their escape speed was slightly slower than usual.

It only took Mo Ruyan half a day to catch up with everyone.

She hid in the clouds and watched.

I saw Lan He standing on a huge hammer with his feet. He was standing at the end of the hammer handle. There were two men and one woman sitting on the hammer head, and a donkey was lying on it.

The two men were none other than Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi, traitors to her own sect. The woman had never seen them before. They had three-dimensional facial features, wheat-colored skin, and a kind of heroic beauty. They were dressed like women.

The donkey was lying on the ground. It was a mechanical puppet beast with its back open. That damn Iron Elder was lying inside with a pale face. It was a surprise that I couldn't kill him with just one slap.

On Lan He's left and right is the nosy Second Jindan of Lingyun Sect.

Qi Zhentao was standing on the Nine-Python Staff, while Shang Tianti and Qi Fangfang were sitting cross-legged on paper fans, chatting and laughing as if they were on a picnic.

"Lingyun Sect!"

Mo Ruyan was so angry that her teeth were chattering.

If Shang Tianti and Qi Zhentao were not there, and it was just Lan He, she would have taken action. With three Jindan, especially the second Jindan of Lingyun Sect, who knows what tricks he has.

She didn't give up and followed him for another day.

Suddenly, a yellowish-brown cloud rose up in front of them, blocking their way.

In the clouds, there was a tall, strong, muscular, white-haired old man who laughed and hugged Qi Zhentao, as if they were old friends reuniting.

The four golden pills set out again, heading straight for Xiaogushan.

Only then did Mo Ruyan give up completely and turned away angrily.

"Lan He, if you have the guts, hide in Little Lonely Mountain for the rest of your life and don't come out!"

"As long as you dare to return to Huangsha Mountain, it will be the day of your death!"

She turned around and left angrily, going in the opposite direction of the rays of light in front of her. In the rays of light, Lu Ye turned his head slightly.

Humph.

You bitch, you followed me all the way and finally gave up?
The day I return to Huangsha Mountain will be the day you die!

So many disciples of Xuanmo Sect have died. As the sect leader, you have been living a carefree life for so many years, it’s time for you to go down and accompany them!

"Fellow Daoist Lan, thank you for your generosity and for saving Elder Tie's life."

"From now on, you will be the Grand Elder of my Gushan Sect and sit shoulder to shoulder with me!"

"If you like to be in power, then you should be in charge; if you want to cultivate immortality, then you should just stay in seclusion."

"As for your people, there is no need to worry. I have several good spiritual places under the Gushan Sect. You can choose from them."

Patriarch Fuyun and his old friend Qi Zhentao reunited, chatted for a few minutes, and then turned to Lu Ye and made a promise.

Brother, come here. I will make you the King. You will have the same power as me. It’s up to you whether you want to be in charge or just be a hands-off boss.

Lu Ye smiled and bowed to the ground.

"Brother Fuyun, I will follow your lead from now on. Please take good care of me."

"I have fought countless battles in Huangsha Mountain and am completely tired of worldly affairs. I don't even care about the Lan family's affairs, so how can I care about other matters?"

"It would be enough to have a place to rest in peace."

"If the sect is faced with a life-or-death situation, I will definitely not stand idly by and live up to this tribute."

Brother, I'm tired of killing people and I'm too lazy to even take care of the Lan family's affairs. Just give me a place where I can live a carefree life.

The Gushan Sect is still your Gushan Sect.

Also, don’t bother me unless the survival of your sect is at stake.

During the conversation, the two of them got to know each other's bottom line and were both happy.

The Gushan Sect found another golden elixir tiger skin to prop it up, and Lu Ye also found a habitat for the Lan clan members. He could also get resources for free. It was a win-win situation.

Half a day later, a cluster of steep peaks appeared in front of them, surrounded by winding water and beautiful scenery. The Gushan Sect had arrived.

Lu Ye looked at this place and felt emotional.

"When I traveled to this place, this body was eighteen years old. I experienced many life and death situations in the refugee army and became a master at the age of twenty-one."

"I entered Taoism at the age of 22 and officially embarked on the path of cultivating immortals."

"Well, I stayed at Eagle Falls Peak for ten years."

"I stayed in Huangsha Mountain for ten years and became a golden elixir at the age of forty-two."

"I wonder if I can stay in this small lonely mountain for ten years?"

-

Ten years later.

Among the peaks of Xiaogushan, the shortest one is several hundred feet high, with numerous buildings on the top, which is quite impressive.

There is a stone in front of the building with three large characters written on it - Jingyanggang. There is also a tavern behind the stone with a tiger skin hanging on it, fluttering in the wind.

It just doesn't match the style of the other buildings on the mountain and seems out of place.

Many people come and go on this hill, all of them are members of the Lan clan who have relocated here ten years ago.

On the mountain road, a young man was walking slowly up.

All the Lan clan members he met bowed respectfully and addressed each according to their seniority.

This man seemed to be extremely reserved with words, or perhaps he was practicing some kind of silent meditation. He smiled at everyone he met, but he just didn't say a word.

"Brother Lu, you've come just in time..." Lan Wutong came out from the tavern, "The old ancestor has been in seclusion for several months and won't see anyone except you."

"Here is an important message for you to pass on to the ancestor... like this..."

Senior Brother Lu nodded with a smile, said goodbye and left.

A young boy appeared behind Lan Wutong and called him "Dad" unconvinced.

"The ancestor is too biased!"

"It's obvious that you are the one who manages everything in the Lan family."

"You have already achieved the foundation building stage, but you accepted that Lu as your last disciple. Even you have to call him senior brother when you see him. Why?"

"He is so arrogant, without even saying a word. People who don't know him would think he is dumb. He clearly looks down on our Lan family!"

"From now on, will the Lan family in Jingyanggang be named Lan or Lu?"

"I'm afraid the ancestor is confused..."

Snapped!
Lan Wutong turned around angrily and slapped his son in the face.

"Boy, can you question the decision of the ancestor?"

"If I hear any rumors outside, I will break your legs."

"What is the Lan family of Jingyanggang and the Lan family of Huangshashan? It's a mess!"

"There will always be only one Lan in the Lan family, and that is the ancestor's Lan!"

While he was violently suppressing his unfilial son, Senior Brother Lu in front of him twitched his ears slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Senior Brother Lu was familiar with the route and went around to the back mountain. Old Ancestor Lan’s cave was in the bamboo forest.

He cast a spell and the door to the cave opened wide. He stepped in and the heavy door closed immediately.

The cave was extremely simple, with almost nothing else except a stone bed and a cushion.

Sitting on the cushion was a young monk with ordinary looks, but a calm and powerful aura. With each breath he took, he was practicing a secret technique, and his body began to become ethereal and condensed, changing repeatedly with his breathing.

What’s even more surprising is.

The man on the stone bed and Senior Brother Lu standing on the ground look and have exactly the same temperament.

Brother Lu saw that the person on the stone bed didn't seem to be able to finish his practice immediately, so he lay on the ground out of boredom and began to twist, crawl, roll, and even twist his body into a pretzel. Finally, he opened his mouth and spit out a bottle of wine, and started to drink it.

After a long time.

On the stone bed.

The young monk opened his eyes, and a flash of lightning flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, the brother on the road jumped up with joy.

"Haw..."

The young monk on the stone bed sighed, looking at the monk who looked exactly like him lying on the ground, whose robe had been ravaged into a rag.

He rubbed his brows lightly and scolded unhappily.

"Ah Chou!"

"Can't you just be honest?"

The brother on the ground chirped in his mouth, leaped up, and his huge body jumped into the air.

The robe suddenly loosened and fell to the ground like boneless soft skin.

Brother Lu first changed back to his original form in the air, into a spindle shape, and then his skin flashed with colorful colors, and he actually became invisible in the air.

In the cave, one could only hear the sound of strong wind, which was pierced by countless needle holes on the walls, and there were also crackling sounds of thunder and lightning.

"Alright, alright..." Lu Ye reluctantly took out a bottle of fine wine from his storage ring, "I know it's not easy for you to pretend to be me. Come, have a sip."

His palm sank, and Ah Chou then leaned over the bottle, sipping the wine with sounds and drinking happily, his alcohol level dropping sharply.

It turned out that the young monk was Lu Ye, who had a vest named Lan He and had been a supreme elder in the Gushan Sect for ten years.

Ten years ago, after Achou accompanied Lu Ye through the Jindan thunder tribulation, it was unknown whether he absorbed enough electricity and fell into a deep sleep. He woke up five years ago and entered a period of transformation.

This time, Lu Ye made a wish, hoping that Achou could perfectly pretend to be anyone, of course, mainly pretend to be himself.

After he went up the mountain, he did something cool. He took the real body as his disciple under the guise of Ma Jia Lan and the supreme elder.

In this way, Lu Ye could appear in Xiaogushan in his original appearance and become a Taoist partner with Pan Furong.

But in this way, "Lan He" and Lu Ye cannot appear at the same time, and people can be fooled for a short time.

In the long run, Ancestor Lan can't stay in seclusion forever, right?
There must be some smart person who will find something fishy about it, right?
Fortunately, Achou was very powerful and his transformation was successful. He gained functions similar to those of a plasticine monster and could come out to serve as his substitute.

In this way, Lan, his ancestor, and his beloved disciple Lu Ye can finally appear on the same scene.

There is just one thing. After Achou has transformed many times, its IQ has increased and it can understand human language, but it has not truly transformed, so it cannot speak human language.

So Lu Ye could only make up a secret technique of keeping silent to fool everyone.

now.

Ah Chou lay comfortably in Lu Ye's arms drinking, but he did not forget to shake his body. Through the friction of his two small wings, he actually restored Lan Wutong's voice perfectly, without even changing the accent.

Lu Ye listened carefully and then frowned.

"what?"

"It is suspected that a great demon has appeared among the demons of Nanhezhou. Is it possible that they are integrating the demons?"

"Many Jindan sects such as the White Crane Sect of the Ancient Sword Manor of Ba State and the Five Tiger Peak of Wei State have moved north."

"Some Jindan may try to spy on Xiaogushan in the near future. Please be prepared, ancestor."

"I'm afraid the days will not be peaceful."

There was a cold light in Lu Ye's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

“It takes ten years to sharpen a blade.”

"Am I afraid of unrest?"

"The more turbulent the times are, the more kind-hearted people there are!"
