Chapter 641 Luoyun Island and the Mysterious Monk
Luoyun Island.
This is a small island located in a corner of the southwest archipelago of the Tianxing Sea. It is at the very edge of the inland sea. The island is mostly covered with wild ancient forests and has little spiritual energy. There are few people there all year round. Except for some small businesses that mine spiritual stone veins for sect forces. Outside of the family, high-level immortal cultivators do not want to live here at all.
At this time, outside an ancient cave in the mountains on the island, several figures were gathered together. They were the heads of several small families on the island, and they were all in the late stage of foundation building. After arriving, no one spoke. They looked ahead with solemn faces, as if waiting for something.
"Brother Shen, we have been here for three days and three nights, but the senior has never come out. Could it be that he has left Luoyun Island?" After an unknown period of time, a middle-aged man with a rough build spoke to the others. asked.
Hearing this, the other people looked a little hesitant on their faces.
"That senior has been on Luoyun Island for two years. Although he doesn't show up easily, I heard from the people below that he often casts down demons and eliminates demons for the mortals on the island. Not long ago, he also cast spells to make rain fall for mortals and relieve the victims. He shouldn't leave so soon." A monk wearing green leather armor shook his head and said thoughtfully.
"Even if the senior is still on the island, what we are asking for this time is something extraordinary. Do you think he will agree?" A thin man took over.
Everyone looked at each other, each thinking silently.
After a long time, the green-skinned armored warrior said: "Not long after that person arrived on the island two years ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. The auspicious clouds gathered for seven days and seven nights and did not disperse. Judging from the position of the celestial phenomenon, it was clearly the cave where he lived. Judging from the time at that time, Amazing vision, this person must have extraordinary cultivation. The situation we are currently facing is extremely difficult, and we have no other option but to ask him for help. We’d better wait patiently.”
"Brother Shen is absolutely right. Xu has a deep memory of that vision at that time. The terrifying spiritual pressure was unprecedented. Even if we were hundreds of miles apart, our protective arrays would not be able to withstand it. The monsters on the island died under another vision, and their escape was astonishing." The rough man couldn't help but look a little pale as he recalled a sudden change on the island two years ago.
Obviously, he still has lingering fears about the incident.
"Yes, the change two years ago was indeed a wonder on the island. We have lived on Luoyun Island for several generations and have never seen such a scene. This shows that the seniors who live here are even more extraordinary. If we can invite him, Our problems can be easily solved," the green-skinned soldier said solemnly.
Recalling the scene when the seven clouds gathered together and soared into the sky, the green-skinned soldier was shocked. At that time, he saw the spiritual energy of the entire Luoyun Island rising sharply, and visions like a tide, sometimes turning into whirlpools, sometimes forming clouds, and finally they all rushed into this place one by one. In the cave house, the family had never seen such an astonishing scene in the hundreds of years they had lived on the island.
After the strange phenomenon appeared, several big families on the island were naturally alarmed and immediately came together to investigate. However, before they even approached the mountain, they were pushed back several miles by an extremely powerful spiritual pressure, and at the same time, a warning from the other party was heard. As he spoke, everyone was silent for a while, not daring to get any closer.
These visions lasted for half a year. Later, it was rumored that a mysterious monk appeared on the island. He either dropped gold and silver jewels or brought rain to relieve disasters. He was regarded as the Daluo Golden Immortal by the mortals on the island, and even the mortals raised funds for it. He built Taoist temples and offered incense every day.
However, this person's whereabouts are mysterious, and no one has ever seen his true face. They only know that he likes to wear ink clothes and is knowledgeable in Taoism. Even the several immortal cultivating families on the island only knew what was going on but didn't see anyone.
Originally, these families were worried that the sudden appearance of such a powerful monk on the island would be detrimental to them, but in the past two years, apart from occasional rumors, the other party had done nothing unusual, so they were relieved.
In the past two years, this mysterious monk seemed to have no intention of leaving Luoyun Island. Although they were on guard, they had no choice but to keep their distance, and the two sides have been living in peace to this day.
But recently, the big families on Ruiyun Island encountered a trouble that they could not solve alone. After some discussion, several family heads thought of this mysterious foreign monk on the island, so they came here to ask for a meeting.
After waiting for several days, there was no movement in the other party's cave, which made them suspicious.
"Speaking of which, this time we have brought out all the treasures in the family. I wonder if we can impress this senior." The rough man pondered for a while and then touched the Qiankun bag on his waist, changing the subject.
"What Brother Zhao said is exactly what Shen is worried about. However, the treasures we brought out this time are all ancient family heirlooms, and they have souls. Most people will not reject them easily. I hope this senior can have some Do whatever you want." The green-skinned soldier sighed.
Everyone looked at each other. Although they agreed with the green-skinned soldier's words, they couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.
The rugged man and the skinny man were about to say something with flashing expressions. Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound in front of them. Everyone looked around and saw that the stone door that had been closed for a long time slowly opened. A figure walked out of it.
"senior!"
Seeing this person, several family heads were surprised at first, then became overjoyed and stepped forward to salute one after another.
This man was dressed in ink, with a cloak on his head and a black scarf covering his face. There was an amazing aura of mana flowing all over his body. He was obviously a powerful man in the mana stage. Coupled with all the rumors in the past two years, several family heads were naturally in awe.
"Why are you looking for me?" The monk in black clothes walked out of the cave, his deep eyes calm.
Several people looked at each other, and the green-skinned soldier immediately stepped forward and bowed his arms, saying: "Senior, I am Shen Qing. I am the head of the Shen family of Luoyun Island. I have always heard that your senior is powerful in Taoism and acts righteously. We admire you greatly." Came here to pay a visit.”
"I don't like to beat around the bush. You came here to explore two years ago. Just tell me what your purpose is today." The monk in black clothes said calmly.
The faces of the several family heads were slightly stern. After looking at each other for a while, the green-skinned soldier quickly smiled and said: "To be honest, senior, I really have something to ask for when I take the liberty to come here this time, and I have brought several ancient family heirlooms. I hope senior can help."
The monk in black clothes was unmoved.
Seeing this, the green-skinned soldier added: "Senior, I have lived on the island for two years, and I think I have some knowledge of several families including me. We were originally branches of the Miaoyun Sect of the Taiyi League, and we have been mining spiritual spirits for them over the years. However, a major event has recently occurred in the world of immortality. The daughter of the leader of Xuanyue Sect reappeared in Tianxing Sea and fled to the vicinity of Luoyun Island. The Miaoyun Sect issued an order that nearby families must jointly search for her. Whereabouts, a master from the mana stage has been dispatched to take charge of this matter."
The black-clothed monk listened quietly, frowned slightly after the green-skinned armored man finished speaking, and said, "What does what you said have to do with me?"
Upon hearing this, the heads of the families were immediately speechless.
"Senior, I don't know. The Xuanyue Divine Sect is a demonic sect. It caused a bloody storm in the Tianxing Sea decades ago, and was later wiped out by the three major sects of the Taiyi Alliance. I thought that this sect had no one for a long time, and I didn't want to disappear for many years. The daughter of the demon sect has reappeared. It is said that this girl has developed magical power and is now near Luoyun Island, so I want to ask my senior to help me." The green-skinned warrior said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, and this time the Miaoyun Sect has issued a death order. Any family that receives the order and does not cooperate will be severely punished. However, we are of low moral character and are not enemies of the witch. If we go to hunt down, we will only end up in death. I also ask my seniors to help me after two years of getting along.”
The rugged man, the skinny man and others echoed one after another.
They have been attached to the Miaoyun Sect for generations and dare not disobey its orders. Although they are only cooperating in the hunt, with their level of cultivation, if they really encounter the demon sect witch, their ten lives may not be enough to kill her.
Although I don’t know what level of cultivation the monk in black clothes is really at, judging from the aura he exudes, he is at least in the early stages of cultivating his magic power. If he comes to help, the results will naturally be very different.
The monk in black clothes didn't answer in silence, and after a moment he said: "I have never had any friendship with you, so I don't mean to say that we are close to each other. However, you just said that you brought several ancient treasures here, so you can let me take a look before thinking about it. "
"this……"
The heads of the families were shocked, and each of them looked worried.
"You don't have to be like this. If I am determined to seize the treasure, the result will be the same whether you take the initiative or not." The monk in black clothes saw the vigilance of several people and said lightly.
Several people were shocked.
"Senior is joking. Your senior's mind is naturally not the same as mine. I will take out the treasure and show it to senior." The green-skinned soldier chuckled and spoke first.
Then he patted the Qiankun bag, and several streams of light flew out from the mouth of the bag, circling around him to form two shining golden round blades, one blade and one mother blade, engraved with several complex tadpole inscriptions. It exudes a quaint atmosphere.
After hesitating for a moment, several other people also took out treasures one after another, which were a golden sword, a copper hammer, a silver ring and a square piece of wood.
They are all Lingbao level ancient treasures.
The difference between ancient treasures and modern magic weapons is that the former can be activated without training, while the latter needs to be imprinted with the natal aura before it can exert its spirituality. The two are very different.
"It is indeed an ancient treasure, but it's a pity that the quality is slightly lower." The monk in black clothes flashed his eyes after several people sacrificed the treasures, but soon returned to normal and had no intention of taking the treasure away.
Several family heads looked embarrassed. These were their family treasures, and they reluctantly took them out today to protect the continuation of the family, but it seemed that they did not catch the other party's eyes.
However, seeing that the monk in black clothes did not move, they felt a little more relaxed.
"Since you have come to ask for help, I would like to ask you if you know the true cultivation level of the demon sect witch, and if there are any other helpers around? If there is anything I can do, I can go and investigate on your behalf."
Just when a few people were feeling uneasy, the monk in black clothes pondered for a moment and then asked.
Several family heads couldn't help but look happy when they heard this. It was obvious that the ancient treasures they took out made each other interested, so the matter could be discussed.
