Chapter 363 Meeting
This time, except for informing Xuan Jizi, Ye Chunyang did not alert anyone. Even Qian Ying did not know his whereabouts.
After flying over hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains, the two of them settled in a small town that evening.
This place is located in the southwest of Tian Chong Mountain, close to the western part of the Chaos Demon Territory. It is surrounded by a desert, with relatively scarce resources, and the cold wind is biting, so few people visit.
After entering the town, Li Mochen took back the Spirit Fire Bird and led Ye Chunyang to an inn.
"Brother Ye, I made an appointment with several fellow Taoists to meet at this inn, but it seems that we arrived a step ahead of schedule. How about we wait here first and then enter the desert together when they arrive?"
After choosing a seat, Li Mochen looked around and said to Ye Chunyang.
"That's fine." Ye Chunyang nodded and had no objection.
After sitting down, he glanced around slightly and said with a hint of confusion: "Brother Li, apart from me, didn't you invite any other fellow disciples this time?"
As far as he knew, Li Mochen did not invite any other sect members to hunt for treasure except him this time. Instead, he found a few helpers from outside, which puzzled him.
"Brother Ye doesn't know something. It's not that I haven't invited other fellow disciples, but that the Spiritual Heaven Realm is about to open. Most of the masters in the magic stage are practicing hard in seclusion. Other fellow disciples of the same level are not willing to come to this desert and dangerous place. , so I have no choice but to hire another expert.”
Li Mochen shook his iron fan in embarrassment and said with a smile: "But these are all well-known people in the nearby sects. With them traveling together, we will be a little more sure of opening the strange land."
Afraid that Ye Chunyang had a grudge, after saying this, Li Mochen looked at him cautiously and said, "Brother Ye wouldn't mind asking for help, right?"
Ye Chunyang poured himself a glass of wine and shook his head with a faint smile: "Brother Li is very considerate. It's a good thing. How could Ye mind."
Although this trip to the desert is not as dangerous and unpredictable as the Spirit World, it is not something that ordinary people would dare to enter easily. Ye Chunyang is not a small-minded person. The more experts accompanying him, the higher the safety factor will naturally be.
Hearing what he said, Li Mochen breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
After that, he introduced the situation here to Ye Chunyang. From his words, Ye Chunyang also had some understanding of the strange place he wanted to explore. It was a basin about thirty miles away in the desert. The sky was full of wind and sand, and there were often There is a raging sandstorm, which is extremely dangerous, and few monks dare to approach it.
However, since Ye Chunyang agreed to this trip, he had already been mentally prepared. Moreover, although there were ancient treasures in that strange place, he had to get into it. If the real thing couldn't be done, he would not be stupid enough to wait for death here. .
Not long after the two chatted, three monks suddenly came outside the inn. The first one was an old man. He was thin and wearing thick black iron armor. He also carried a wide iron ruler behind his back. He looked extremely strange.
The other two are a man and a woman, both wearing white clothes, looking like a married couple. The man has dark skin and an average appearance, but the Taoist couple is exquisitely born. Although she is in her early thirties, she still looks like an eighteenth-year-old girl, which makes people look at each other. Bright.
These three people and Li Mochen are generally in the late stage of foundation building.
After the three people entered the inn, they walked straight this way.
A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Chunyang's eyes. It seemed that these three people were the helpers invited by Li Mochen.
However, after seeing the cultivation level of these three people, it would inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion. Ye Chunyang suppressed his aura. On the surface, he looked the same as their cultivation level, so no one would notice that he was a magic monk.
This move made Li Mochen a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he chuckled and fell silent.
"Taoist Tie Chi, Cave Master Bai, and Madam Bai are finally here. Li has been waiting here for a long time." Seeing the arrival of the three, Li Mochen greeted them politely and asked the waiter to add bowls and chopsticks.
After the three of them glanced at him, they just nodded lightly, their attitudes were lukewarm, and then they all sat down unceremoniously.
At this time, they noticed Ye Chunyang next to them, and looked at him in unison. After taking a look at him, the dark-skinned White Cave Master said with a strange look on his face: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is..."
With Ye Chunyang's magical power, the three of them were naturally unable to detect any clues.
Li Mochen smiled and hurriedly introduced: "This is my fellow disciple, Senior Brother Ye Xiaobao. He has a deep understanding of the martial arts, so I invited him to come with me."
After speaking, he said to Ye Chunyang: "These two are the master and his wife of the White Cave of Kunxuan Cave, and this one is Taoist Tiechi. This time the three of them will explore that strange place with us."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ye, and Mr. Bai is being reasonable."
Bai Dongzhu seemed to be more talkative, and bowed to Ye Chunyang with a humble smile.
The woman next to him also smiled and saluted.
The Tie Chi Taoist said "Nice to meet you" expressionlessly and then remained silent.
Ye Chunyang glanced at the two of them and secretly understood their personalities and styles. He immediately returned the salute with his fists clasped and said: "According to what Brother Li said, the three of you have been in the desert once before, so you probably know that strange place quite well." , Ye is very curious about this, I wonder if fellow Taoists can explain it in detail? "
Although this was just a conversation, these three people had the experience of treasure hunting, and their understanding of that strange place would be more intuitive. Ye Chunyang naturally wanted to test their skills.
When the three of them heard this, they ignored each other and their eyes seemed to flicker.
The White Cave Master hesitated and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Ye has come here, I think Fellow Daoist Li has already told you most of the situations. As for other things, we have nothing to say. It is worth mentioning that when we explored before, we did feel the breath of ancient treasures, and more than one, so we concluded that this might be the place where a great man hid treasures. However, there are many restrictions on this strange place. Although we can detect the breath of ancient treasures, we can only stay away from it."
Ye Chunyang felt a little strange after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Even though there are many restrictions in the strange place, Fellow Daoist Bai can still feel the breath of ancient treasures. It seems that Fellow Daoist has extraordinary magical powers."
The White Cave Master was stunned and smiled at his wife. Then the woman interrupted and said, "To be honest with Fellow Daoist Ye, my husband and I practiced a secret method together. Although we cannot break the restrictions, we can sense the breath inside, so we can judge the existence of ancient treasures."
Ye Chunyang was slightly surprised when he heard this.
The reason why the forbidden method is called a forbidden method is naturally to isolate outsiders from detecting it. It is really surprising that the couple can find out what is inside. You know, with his strong spiritual consciousness, he can't do this.
As if sensing Ye Chunyang's surprise, the woman pursed her lips, chuckled, and said: "We two don't really have a heaven-defying technique, but the technique we practice is a little strange. We can judge six points of the situation from the external structure and the strength of the forbidden method. As for the specific situation, we still have to open the forbidden method to know it."
She blinked her bright eyes and chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Ye is proficient in formation techniques. We need to rely on you a lot for this treasure hunt."
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.
If there is such a heaven-defying technique in the world, then the so-called forbidden method has no meaning to exist.
He then bowed and smiled, saying, "Mrs. Bai, you are too kind. I only know a little bit about it, and I dare not guarantee that I can break the formation."
At this moment, a muffled voice suddenly came from the side. The Taoist Tiechi looked at him indifferently and said something without any emotion: "Let's not talk about whether the formation can be broken for now. I only care about how to distribute the treasures if the forbidden method is really opened?"
While speaking, he looked at Li Mochen.
After all, this treasure hunting trip was initiated by him, and the three people listened to his opinions first based on principle.
This tiny detail was naturally seen by Ye Chunyang. Obviously, although these three people have strange tempers, their style is still decent.
Li Mochen pondered.
After a while, he looked at Ye Chunyang, then at the Taoist Tiechi and the couple of the Lord of the White Cave, frowned and said, "We have explored that strange place once before, and the three of you know the strength of the forbidden magic better than I do. That's why I went back to the sect to ask Brother Ye to come out. I think if Brother Ye can break the formation, he should be allowed to take one of the ancient treasures first, and then we will distribute them reasonably. What do you think?"
"Let him choose one first?"
The Taoist Tiechi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ye Chunyang with a deep look.
"What do you think is wrong, Taoist Tiechi?" Ye Chunyang took a sip of wine and said calmly.
He didn't want to suppress everyone with his cultivation. The condition of choosing treasures first was first agreed with Li Mochen, but it was only said by Li Mochen.
Besides, if he can break the formation, it is not too much to have the privilege of choosing treasures first.
The Taoist Tiechi's face was a little uncertain, and then he looked at the Lord of the White Cave and his wife, as if asking for their opinions.
The two looked at each other and fell silent.
Seeing this, the Taoist Tiechi pondered for a moment, and after a long time, he said: "It's okay for Daoist Ye to choose treasures first, but this is based on the premise that Daoist Ye can break the formation. If Daoist Ye can't break the formation, everything is just empty talk."
"Of course." Ye Chunyang smiled and nodded.
"What do you two Daoists think?" Taoist Tiechi asked the White Cave Master and his wife.
The two were silent for a long time, and the White Cave Master finally sighed and said: "I have no opinion on this. The forbidden method is extremely dangerous and complicated. Several of us have tried our best but failed. If Daoist Ye can break the formation this time, my husband and I will naturally have nothing to say."
They have all experienced the forbidden method of that strange place, and they believe that they can't break the formation. Although they don't know what Ye Chunyang's methods are, if they can really break the formation, they can also benefit from it.
Seeing that the three did not object, Li Mochen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "In this case, it is settled. However, it is late today and the night wind in the desert is too strong, which can easily cause a sandstorm. We should stay here for one night and leave after dawn tomorrow. What do you think?"
"I am also thinking this way. The desert at night is much more dangerous than during the day." Bai Dongzhu said.
The Taoist Tie Chi said little. He nodded slightly to show his agreement and then sat quietly without saying a word.
Ye Chunyang smiled. There was no point in this. He had just arrived and naturally had to plan before taking action.
