Chapter 361 A strange place
Three months have passed since I communicated with Lu Qingyun and other colleagues.
During this time, Ye Chunyang also took on some tasks on Tianqiong Peak in exchange for materials needed for cultivation.
On this day, he drove the escape light back to the cave. As he was walking in the air, he saw a man guarding the door with an anxious look, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Chunyang was startled, stretched out his body and fell down.
"Brother Ye, you are finally back!"
When the people outside the door saw his figure, their faces lit up and they hurriedly came to greet him.
"Brother Li is waiting here, why?" Ye Chunyang asked in surprise.
This person is none other than Li Mochen.
His eyes flickered, and after Li Mochen looked around, he said with some uncertainty: "Brother Ye, can you take a step to speak?"
Ye Chunyang was even more confused. Seeing that the other party seemed to have something important, he opened the cave and invited him in without hesitation.
After leading Li Mochen into the living room, Ye Chunyang called the spirit puppet to watch and serve tea.
Seeing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Brother Ye has become more and more sophisticated in Taoism after he cultivated his magic power. He can actually use plants and trees to enlighten puppets. Such magical power makes me envious."
"I just advanced earlier. With Brother Li's qualifications, it will be just around the corner to achieve magic power."
Ye Chunyang smiled, glanced at the other party, and said jokingly: "Brother Li is in such a hurry, does he want to borrow another spiritual pet? If so, I don't have any spiritual pets that I can get."
Li Mochen's face stiffened, and he laughed again and again: "Brother Ye is joking, I am grateful to you for lending Dabai to me a few years ago. How dare you talk to Brother Ye so shamelessly? I am here today to return Dabai." "
As Li Mochen spoke, the light on the spirit beast bag flashed, and Dabai barked a few times before turning into a rainbow of light.
As soon as the dog appeared and saw its long-separated master, it couldn't help but go up and nuzzle him, looking very submissive.
Ye Chunyang's face was startled, and he looked at the dog with a strange look on his face. He found that after several years of separation, it had become much stronger and more powerful, and it vaguely looked like it had broken through the second-level intermediate level.
Ye Chunyang was even more surprised at the moment and said: "It seems that Dabai has been following Brother Li for a good time."
"That's right, this dog is Brother Ye's spiritual pet. I can't treat it badly. I feed it the best spiritual food every day." Li Mochen chuckled and said, "Fortunately, this beast is quite hardworking. I have cultivated many new spiritual pets, and my spirit control techniques have also improved."
Ye Chunyang was stunned. From this guy's treacherous expression, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of life Dabai lived after being borrowed by him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret lending Dabai to Li Mochen.
With a wry smile, Ye Chunyang patted Dabai and put it into the spirit beast bag. He immediately looked at Li Mochen and said, "Brother Li is not just here today to return Dabai, right? It doesn't matter if you say nothing."
Judging from the anxious look on this guy's face just now, Ye Chunyang guessed that besides returning his spiritual pet, he had other important things to do.
Hearing this, Li Mochen showed a little embarrassment, shook the iron bone fan in his hand, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Brother Ye. Since Brother Ye said so, I will also say it bluntly. In fact, In addition to returning Dabai, I have something else I want to ask Brother Ye for help with."
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows. This matter usually seemed cynical and heartless, but in fact he was aloof and would not ask for help easily. Today he came to visit on the pretext of returning Dabai. It seemed that he had encountered some troublesome things.
He was a little curious for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Li, if you need help with anything, why don't you tell me?"
Ye Chunyang had no ill feelings toward Li Mochen, and he would naturally help if he could do anything he could.
Hearing what he said, Li Mochen's face lit up with joy, then he coughed twice and said: "In recent years, the restrictions on the spiritual world have begun to weaken. Xue'er has been practicing hard in seclusion in order to enter it. In fact, I have no interest in this matter, but really I was worried that Xueer would go in alone, so I have been thinking of ways to improve my cultivation in the past few years. When I was going down the mountain not long ago, I accidentally explored a strange place. There seemed to be ancient treasures in it, but it was surrounded by There are forbidden laws, and ordinary people dare not enter them without permission.”
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang already vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words, and couldn't help frowning: "Brother Li wants to enter this strange land to hunt for treasures?"
Li Mochen sighed slightly, nodded and said: "If it were in the past, I wouldn't take such risks with nothing to do, but Brother Ye, you also know that the sect will only choose the disciples of the magic period to go to the Spiritual Heaven Realm. Those of us who have not yet cultivated our magic power have absolutely no chance.”
"For Xue'er, I must advance to the mana stage before the spiritual world opens no matter what!"
Ye Chunyang was shocked. He didn't expect this guy to be so obsessed with Ling Xue.
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Li is too persistent. You and I as Taoists only want to live a long and free life. Being too persistent is more of a disaster than a blessing."
Li Mochen grinned and said nonchalantly: "Brother Ye, you don't know something. Xue'er and I have been sweethearts since childhood. It was only because of opposition from both families that she was forced to marry someone else before she escaped here. Although she said so I won’t say it, but I can tell that she still cares about me very much. With this kind of friendship, I, Li Mochen, will not hesitate to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for her. Although cultivating immortality is the pursuit of immortality, if I give it up because of cultivating Taoism. What’s the point of becoming an immortal to someone who is important to me?”
Ye Chunyang frowned and did not answer.
He often thought deeply about human affairs. Mortals cannot escape birth, old age, illness and death. After decades, they will turn into dust and end their lives. Therefore, countless monks are deceitful and fight against each other, just to improve their cultivation and compete with God for their fate. However, if they cannot continue to progress, After hundreds or even thousands of years, the life span is exhausted and the person has to sit down and pass away. This only makes the cycle of life and death longer and the boundaries blurred. In fact, what is the difference between them and mortals?
However, it is difficult and dangerous for mortals to cultivate immortality, and everyone has different opinions. Ye Chunyang agrees with Li Mochen. Although there are some things that cannot be given up in cultivating immortality, he always believes that his way should be to escape the cycle of life and death, break through the shackles of life span, and truly live forever. In the world.
The thoughts in his mind turned around, and Ye Chunyang couldn't help but sigh: "The Spiritual Heaven Realm only restricts high-level monks, but anyone below the elixir formation stage can enter. The sect only designated magic monks to complete a task, and did not explicitly prohibit other disciples from accompanying them. , Brother Li doesn’t need to be obsessed with this.”
"Having said that, the spiritual world is dangerous and unpredictable. If you can cultivate magic like Brother Ye, you will have more power to protect yourself, right?" Li Mochen said with a smile: "Besides, there is indeed an ancient treasure in that strange place. Even if you can’t advance, it’s always good to have more treasures for self-defense.”
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, before, I contacted several companions who were in the late stage of foundation building to go to that strange place to explore treasures, but the forbidden method was really weird, and no one in our group could crack it. Later, I thought about that year I saw several strange formations when I accidentally entered Brother Ye's cave, and I guessed that Brother Ye must be very knowledgeable in the martial arts, so I wanted to invite him shamelessly. I also hope that Brother Ye can help me a little bit in the past friendship. If it can come true, , I should be very grateful.”
Ye Chunyang couldn't help but fell silent.
If someone else came to ask for it, he would probably not agree to such a risky thing, but he had no ill feelings towards Li Mochen and would not put it down. However, Li Mochen invited several people who were in the late stage of foundation building to come but they all failed. It can be seen that Its prohibition is extraordinary.
Ye Chunyang pondered for a while, and then said: "To be honest with what Brother Li said, I have indeed done some research on the formation. It doesn't hurt to go with Brother Li, but I can only give it a try. As for whether I can break the formation, I can’t guarantee that.”
Li Mochen was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him repeatedly: "Brother Ye, you are so humble. Judging from the forbidden laws of Brother Ye's cave, in terms of formation skills alone, there are probably not many monks at the same level as you who can make a difference. If Brother Ye It’s probably fate that we can’t break the formation. Brother Ye’s help will be remembered forever.”
Ye Chunyang smiled and agreed to take action not only to help Li Mochen, but also because the spiritual world was about to open. Although he had cultivated magic power, he did not have many treasures on hand, and he also wanted to find a few more powerful magic weapons to increase his strength.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Li Mochen: "In that case, Brother Li will go back home for a while. I still need to make some preparations. After that, I will go down the mountain with Brother Li."
Before seeing the forbidden law, Ye Chunyang was not completely sure and had to be well prepared before leaving.
However, after saying this, I found that Li Mochen's expression flickered, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help frowning and said with a hint of sullenness: "Brother Li, don't worry. Since I agreed to go with you, I won't regret it. Just go back home and wait."
"No, no, no, Brother Ye misunderstood. I didn't mean this." Seeing Ye Chunyang's displeasure, Li Mochen waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Brother Ye, of course, must be prepared, but that strange place is close to the desert area. , Sandstorms appear from time to time, and even magic monks are difficult to deal with them. I have calculated that there will be a big storm in three days, and if we encounter it, it will be a big trouble. "
"I see."
Ye Chunyang touched his chin, frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It won't take long to get ready. We can set off around noon tomorrow. Brother Li can just come here and wait."
The horror of the sandstorm was beyond human power, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Hearing this, Li Mochen was secretly relieved and said happily: "In that case, I will take my leave first. I have also made an appointment with several other Taoist friends before, and I can meet them after coming down the mountain."
Ye Chunyang nodded slightly and had no objection.
After finishing speaking, Li Mochen said no more, bowed his body and left.
After the opponent left, Ye Chunyang slowly stood up and walked into the inner hall. The lion and the rabbit were fighting with all their strength, so naturally they couldn't take it lightly to break the formation.
