Do not die

On this day, Meng Zhou, who was quietly awakening, was suddenly awakened by the throbbing in his heart.

He thought about it in his mind, walked out of the quiet room, and came to Linchi Waterside Pavilion.

After briefly cleaning the tea set that was always kept here, I started to prepare the spiritual tea.

A pot of spiritual tea exuding a strange fragrance had just been cooked when a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance.

When it first appeared, the black spot was very small and located very far in the sky.

Soon, this small black dot became extremely huge.

It was a huge raptor with a wingspan of hundreds of meters.

The tyrannical aura spread out from this raptor without any concealment, suppressing the entire Sanchuan City into silence.

This raptor is completely black, and its huge wings are even more shiny.

Against the backdrop of the black body, the long dark golden beak and the pair of huge dark golden claws became even more eye-catching.

Just looking at it from a distance, the long beak gives people a feeling of being extremely sharp and indestructible.

The pair of giant claws gave people a sense of horror that they could fall from the sky at any time, easily pierce the flesh and skin, easily grasp the depths of the internal organs, and crush the heart.

This unabashedly powerful and domineering bird not only instantly captured the hearts of all the Sanchuan monks outside the city defense formation who witnessed this scene, but also the attention of the monks who were meditating inside the city defense formation. All were drawn out.

Even those who were in seclusion had to exit urgently, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped, and they were raised high.

Although the beast tide that is now affecting the entire Qingxuan Territory is still in the ascendant, most of the alchemy and fake elixir monks who used to live here and cultivate carefully here have also gone to the front line of the beast tide.

But apart from Jade Lake, there is only one safe third-level spiritual land in Qingxuan Domain that is not owned by Qingxuan Sect, and it has not become deserted because of this.

On the contrary, it shows its liveliness and irreplaceability in another way.

Since the outbreak of the beast tide, one or two, as many as three or four tribulation clouds can be seen appearing almost every month.

Even though not all those who forcibly endure the tribulation are completely sure, if we look closely, in this small corner of the country with a radius of less than ten miles, on average, a new pill-forming person is born every month.

Sometimes it's a double yolk egg.

As for the number of monks who did not choose to go through the tribulation, but gave up wisely before the tribulation cloud appeared, and used fake elixir cultivation to get out of seclusion, the number was even greater.

After a breakthrough, no matter how anxious you are, you can't rush to the front line immediately. A period of recuperation, stabilizing your cultivation, and re-introducing the rapid improvement of cultivation and strength to the right track and regaining control are essential.

Such a rest period can range from a few months to a year or two.

Practitioners who have reached this level have very clear understanding.

The purpose of going to the front lines of the beast tide and gaining a lot of military merit is to better support your cultivation, not the other way around.

Therefore, there are really many monks meditating in the inner city area at this moment.

Now, they were all blown out of the retreat caves by this huge raptor that made no secret of its ferocious aura.

Under the gaze of these pairs of shocked eyes, the raptor was already approaching the core inner city area.

Because its appearance is too public, without any cover, it is full of momentum from a distance.

The city defense array that all parties in Sanchuan Plain had worked so hard to build finally responded.

A rapidly condensing light curtain appeared in front of the giant bird.

This third-level high-grade city defense formation is very difficult to break through in the later stages of the formation of pills.

But now, facing such a rapidly solidifying light curtain, the giant bird just pecked at it with its long dark golden beak.

Just once.

The city defense formation, which had been gathering momentum for many years, was immediately pecked out by the long dark gold beak, just enough to allow a bird's head to pass through.

Then, its huge bird head passed through the hole.

A bird's head, a long neck, a cross-section of a body that rapidly enlarges due to the spread of its wings...

More parts passed through without slowing down at all.

A heart-piercing sound of cracking silk was heard throughout the Sanchuan City area, spreading hundreds of miles outward.

The entire city defense formation was torn to pieces with such easy violence.

After entering the core inner city area, the raptor's speed did not slow down and its direction remained unchanged. It flapped its wings gently two or three times and aimed directly in the direction of Meng Zhou's cave.

With the aroma of tea lingering at the tip of his nose, Meng Zhou looked at the rapidly approaching raptor without any change in his expression.

With the fierce power displayed when this raptor easily tore through the city defense formation just now, if it did not slow down, it would be difficult for the formation to maintain the existence of this cave dwelling to last much longer.

Faced with the critical situation that the entire residence might be completely demolished in the next moment, Meng Zhou remained completely unmoved.

It was as if he was watching a cannonball being fired towards him at a very fast speed, without even trying to dodge, without even frowning or blinking his eyelashes.

Under Meng Zhou's eyes, the speeding raptor was already approaching the cave, only a short distance away from the barrier area formed by the formation.

Seeing that the raptor was about to hit him hard, the next moment, the raptor with a wingspan of hundreds of meters suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a man with a curly beard who looked about fifty or sixty years old, with a long beard and hair, and an angry expression on his face. Monk.

He frowned and looked at the formation in front of him, as he was brewing emotions. The formation in front of him that protected the entire cave suddenly disappeared.

The monk with the curly beard immediately saw the old man sitting in the pavilion by the pool below. At this moment, he stretched out his right hand, pointed at an empty seat opposite, and invited him with a smile:

"A distinguished guest is here, please!"

The bearded monk snorted angrily, but still stepped into the void, entered the waterside pavilion, and sat down at the position guided by Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou held the pot and poured tea for him with a smile on his face.

Said: "I have really admired the name of Mingnan Patriarch for a long time, and today I am finally lucky enough to meet him in person."

Ancestor Mingnan chuckled and said: "Long time admirer? So you have been hiding in the dark and watching my jokes for a long time."

The ancestor who was kicked out of the sect he founded?

After counting the past hundred years and looking around the five regions, he found out that Ancestor Nan was the first person to set a precedent!

"..."

Meng Zhou was choked by the other party's words and didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, the cup of tea was just full at this moment, so he put down the teapot, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

Ancestor Mingnan sat opposite Meng Zhou, with the two sitting across the table.

He suddenly frowned, glanced at the filled teacup on the table, and said, "Are you the president of the Professionals Association, Qihuangzi?"

Meng Zhou nodded: "Not bad."

"You're so good, why do you want to mess with me?" Patriarch Mingnan asked.

"Well……"

Meng Zhou's expression froze again. He really didn't expect that Mingnan Patriarch, who was supposed to be a master of life, would be such a straightforward person.

Of course, the real reason why he was once again speechless when asked by the other party was not because of the other party's "straightforwardness", but simply because of the other party's word "fuck" which made him speechless.

If a beautiful female cultivator said this to him, he would reluctantly accept it.

But when such a man with a beard and full of masculinity said this, it was hard for him not to feel a little jealous.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Patriarch Mingnan thought that the other party was stunned by his first question in person.

Many people do things secretly, but they still feel embarrassed when someone picks them off in person.

Ancestor Mingnan thought that the "Qihuangzi" in front of him was like this, but he had no intention of waiting for the other party's answer. This was not the purpose of his trip.

His eyes fell on the tea cup in front of him, looking at the steam rising in the cup, and the fragrant and fresh fragrance of tea lingering on the tip of his nose. He was not polite, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, Ancestor Mingnan’s eyes widened.

The tea soup was moderately warm, but as this sip of tea soup entered his stomach, he felt that what he was drinking was not spiritual tea, but a handful of fine, long-pointed iron filings, like a small, extremely sharp sword.

From the moment they were swallowed into his mouth, they suddenly burst out from a restrained state, followed his swallowing, passed through his throat and esophagus, and slid all the way into his stomach.

Ancestor Mingnan felt that he was being executed by a very novel criminal law.

Countless exploding sharp swords scraped through the mouth, cut through the esophagus, and blossomed in the stomach pouch.

If it were another Foundation Establishment cultivator, drinking this sip of tea would probably result in intestinal rupture.

But for Ancestor Mingnan, there was no obstacle, and he didn't even feel any pain at all.

Instead, as the sharp sword energy exploded from his stomach, spreading throughout his body, limbs, and bones, and finally expelled from every pore, he felt an indescribable sense of transparency and joy in his heart.

"Good tea! What a special spiritual tea, really - good tea!"

Ancestor Mingnan couldn't control his inner emotions at all and blurted out words of praise.

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, his face that was a little intoxicated became cold again, and his mouth was pursed tightly again.

"Qihuangzi" had already picked up the teapot again, filled it for Patriarch Mingnan again, and said with a smile:

"If it tastes good, drink more. I've carefully prepared this for you. I'm sure you'll like it - please."

Ancestor Mingnan looked at the cup of spiritual tea that was once again full. He drank it all without talking nonsense and without being polite.

Just when he finished enjoying the special comfort brought by this sip of spiritual tea with his mouth closed and a cold face, and was about to slap the empty cup on the table again, he suddenly froze.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, he looked up at "Qihuangzi" and said softly:

"Did you know I was coming?"

He was convinced that with his speed, the time from when he really appeared and came here with great momentum, from when he appeared in the sight of monk Sanchuan Yuan to when he arrived here was very short. This "Qihuangzi" definitely had no time to take it easy. Pour a pot of tea and wait for yourself.

Either he lied.

Either the opponent had started preparing earlier, waiting for him to crash into him like a stupid roe deer.

No matter what kind of speculation it was, it made him feel uncomfortable.

So, he made another "pop" sound, slapped the empty cup on the case, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's talk business now!"

"Qihuangzi" ignored him and continued to pour tea for him with the teapot.

Want to avoid it?

Or do you naively think that you can bribe me with just one or two cups of spiritual tea? !

What a wishful thinking.

Just when Patriarch Mingnan was dissatisfied and wanted to ask again, the "Qihuangzi" holding the teapot had already been filled for him, and he poured the spout towards the two empty cups next to him.

"...???"

Ancestor Mingnan realized belatedly that there were two teacups placed not far from him.

However, from the time he appeared to entering the waterside pavilion, until now, all his attention has been on this "Qihuangzi", and he has no time to pay attention to anything else.

Therefore, he didn't notice the two empty glasses not far away from him at all.

As he looked over, he noticed that just in front of the two empty cups, there were two empty futons. These two futons were exactly the same as the one he was sitting on.

So,...is there anyone else? !

Just as Mingnan Patriarch's mind was spinning with thoughts, Meng Zhou had already filled the other two empty cups.

Then he looked at Ancestor Mingnan and said with a smile: "Our matter is not urgent. We will wait until I have received the guests first."

As he said that, he looked somewhere in the void and said with a smile: "Are you two addicted to watching the theater?"

Patriarch Mingnan turned his head and followed Meng Zhou's gaze.

Then, he was surprised to find that a small golden flower flower appeared in the empty void.

Under the eyes of the two people, the golden flower bone cut through the void and entered the cave water pavilion.

During this process, the golden flower bones first grew larger and then quickly faded away.

When they entered the water pavilion, the golden flower bones had disappeared, and only the illusory pink lotus petals wrapped the two people like gauze.

When the two of them stood still in the water pavilion, the illusory pink lotus petals had disappeared, as if the light and shadow were broken.

The two stood there side by side, like a couple of gods and immortals.

The two were none other than Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu.

"President Qi."

"Friend Daoist Qi."

The two of them smiled and greeted Meng Zhou respectively.

Meng Zhou nodded and motioned for the two of them to take a seat. His eyes fell on Mu Hanyu, and after looking at him for a moment, he nodded and said, "It seems that the injury of fellow Mu Daoist will be basically healed."

"Thanks to President Qi for the rescue." Mu Hanyu said.

Meng Zhou smiled and invited the two of them to drink tea.

The two of them looked at the teacups in front of them with curious expressions in their eyes.

They had seen the reaction of Patriarch Mingnan just now, and they couldn't help but become curious about this spiritual tea.

What kind of spiritual tea would make the well-informed ancestor of Mingnan like it so much?

“Good tea.”

"It's really good tea."

The two felt the sharp sword energy "pierce through" their bodies from the inside out, and finally seeped out from the skin, and a tingling sensation like an electric current traveled on the surface of the skin.

At this moment, Ancestor Mingnan had already frowned and looked at the two of them with some evil in his eyes.

"Were you two following me just now?"

He also thought about it at this time. Both sides arrived at the same time regardless of order?

How could things be such a coincidence? !

There can only be one reason. This "coincidence" is not really a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately.

And he can be sure that he is definitely not the one who did it deliberately. It is very obvious who did it deliberately.

Yin Youyi said nothing, but Mu Hanyu glanced at Patriarch Mingnan sideways and said:

"What does stalking mean? You don't have good eyesight, you just didn't see it."

As she said that, she added: "That's right. At that time, you were like a swaggering peacock, how could you look anywhere else?" (End of Chapter)
