Chapter 693 Luo Renjie
After entering the formation gate, Duan Qing saw a straight and wide passage with no end in sight.
Above the passage, there is a neat row of moonstones inlaid, emitting a cold and soft glimmer.
When Lin Ziyu saw everyone entering the formation gate, she immediately activated the magic talisman again to close the formation gate.
Immediately, Duan Qing said softly: "Brother Duan, come with me!"
Duan Qing nodded lightly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Lin Ziyu said nothing more and walked directly to the depths of the passage.
Under the leadership of Lin Ziyu, the group of people walked for about the time of a cup of tea, without turning around or bumping into anyone along the way.
At this time, another stone door appeared in front of the passage. Its appearance was very similar to the previous one, but it was slightly smaller.
"After this formation gate, you will reach the core area of Tu Ling Peak!" Lin Ziyu stopped in front of the stone gate and explained to everyone.
Then, he took out the magic talisman again and opened the formation gate.
Seeing this, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The Five Elements Sect has really arranged this Earth Spirit Peak to be watertight.
Not only did he need to pass through the formation gate twice to enter Tuling Peak, but he also discovered that even the passage he came from was protected by formations, which was very difficult to break through.
Soon, the second formation door was opened by Lin Ziyu.
Like the first array gate, there is also a small door in the middle of the stone gate.
Walking into the second formation gate, Duan Qing found that the front suddenly became open, and it was a huge hall.
In the hall, several monks were standing, looking at Duan Qing and his party warily.
"Who is trespassing on the important place of our Five Elements Sect!" The leader, a cold-faced monk with a late-stage spiritual sea realm cultivation, shouted in a deep voice.
Seeing the cold-faced monk, Lin Ziyu walked forward with a smile. "Third Senior Brother, it's me, Ziyu! You don't recognize me!"
The cold-faced monk's eyes fell on Lin Ziyu, and he looked at it carefully, suddenly showing a look of surprise on his face. "Little junior sister, it's really you!"
"You are really a woman who has changed so much that even the third senior brother can't recognize you!"
Lin Ziyu pouted her lips and hummed softly: "Huh, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. Third senior brother, you are really too much!"
Duan Qing on the side pursed his lips calmly.
Lin Ziyu has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. Not only has she grown taller and matured a lot, but her personality has also become much more stable.
That day when he saw Lin Ziyu at the foot of Five Elements Mountain, he almost didn't recognize her if he hadn't heard the voice in advance.
The cold-faced monk scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, your third senior brother, I have stayed in this damn place for too long and I have become stupid. Junior sister, please don't take it personally!"
"Hmph, when you let me go, I didn't even have time to settle the score with you!" Lin Ziyu stared at the cold-faced monk angrily.
"Oh, senior brother, it's not that he had some temporary matters and was transferred to this hellish place to garrison!" The cold-faced monk looked helpless.
The contrast between the cold-faced monk's initial attitude towards everyone and his changes after recognizing Lin Ziyu was so great that everyone felt strange.
When Lin Ziyu went to Yuezhou to complete her sect's mission, it was the third senior brother who let her go, so she had no choice but to go to the Stone Forest Ghost Forest with Duan Qing, and almost lost her life.
Although she still felt angry, given that there were so many outsiders around, Lin Ziyu couldn't continue to hold on to this matter.
She glared at the cold-faced monk angrily, pointed at Duan Qing, and introduced to the cold-faced monk: "This is Brother Duan Qing from the Shinto Sect. He is the person personally appointed by the sect leader to lead the team to help defend Tuling Peak. ”
Hearing what Lin Ziyu said, the cold-faced monk couldn't help but be a little surprised. He turned his gaze to Duan Qing and looked at him carefully.
After Lin Ziyu introduced Duan Qing, she pointed at the cold-faced monk and introduced to everyone: "This is Ziyu's third senior brother, Luo Renjie."
Then, Lin Ziyu introduced Hu Yanheng, Zhaixing and others one by one.
"I didn't know your identities before, so I offended you, so please forgive me!" Luo Renjie apologized to Duan Qing and others.
"Fellow Daoist Luo made a serious statement. It's understandable that his responsibilities lie in his duties!" Duan Qing smiled lightly and did not take what just happened to his heart.
Luo Renjie looked at Duan Qing and said with some emotion: "I received a message from the sect leader earlier, saying that a team was coming to our Tuling Peak to assist in our defense. I didn't expect that it would be a fellow Taoist from the Shendao Sect who would lead the team."
"Sect Master Shui has an order, but I can't help myself!" Duan Qing said helplessly.
"In the coming days, I will harass fellow Taoist Luo!"
"What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Duan? It's an honor for me, Luo Renjie, to have Fellow Daoist Duan and his entourage come to Tu Ling Peak!" Luo Renjie said politely.
"Third Senior Brother, it's not too late to say polite words later. Let's talk about the situation at Tu Ling Peak first!" Lin Ziyu interjected from the side.
Luo Renjie glanced at Lin Ziyu, his face a little embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth to explain.
"Right now, there are a total of twelve disciples stationed at Tu Ling Peak, including Luo, and the one with the highest cultivation level is Luo!"
Out of trust in his junior sister Lin Ziyu, he did not hide anything.
Hearing Luo Renjie's words, Duan Qing and others couldn't help but change their expressions.
There are only twelve Five Elements Sect disciples stationed at such a huge Tuling Peak!
Duan Qing knew before arriving that there were probably not many people on Tuling Peak, but he never expected that there would be such a small number.
Thinking about Jin Xuanzong's Xiaoling Mine back then, there were more than a dozen people on duty every year, including the elders.
Seeing Duan Qing and others' expressions change, Luo Renjie quickly explained: "Don't worry, everyone, Tuling Peak has the Five Elements Formation arranged by our Five Elements Sect, which is absolutely foolproof! Even if no one is stationed, ordinary Xiaoxiao cannot break through the Five Elements Formation. "
Duan Qing nodded slightly and said nothing more.
In fact, he was just a little surprised that there were only these people on Tuling Peak, not that he thought there was anything wrong with it.
He felt that this visit to Tuling Peak was just a formality.
Once the people arranged by Shui Daozi to replace him arrived, he could leave Tuling Peak and return to Shendao Sect.
After introducing the situation of Tuling Peak, Luo Renjie saw that Duan Qing and his friends had no other questions to ask, so he said to Duan Qing and his friends: "I will take you Taoist friends to see the accommodation first!"
"Sorry to bother you Taoist friend Luo!" Duan Qing looked calm and didn't care much about it.
People who practice Taoism really don't have any requirements for accommodation, as long as they have a place to stay.
Then, Luo Renjie arranged accommodation for Duan Qing and others one by one.
The accommodation arranged by Luo Renjie was the stone chamber in Tuling Peak.
There were many stone chambers, and Duan Qing roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds of them, most of which were empty and no one lived in them.
After arranging accommodation for Duan Qing and the others, Luo Renjie left on his own without further bothering them.
Sitting quietly in his own stone chamber, Duan Qing sighed deeply.
Compared to being with others, he actually prefers to be alone like now, without being disturbed by anyone.
Of course, if he is with someone he likes, that is another matter.
Duan Qing closed his eyes and rested, thinking about how to spend the next few days.
He agreed to let Zhaixing and Yuan Wuwu go with him, originally wanting to find a chance to get rid of these two scourges.
But now it seems that the defense of Tuling Peak is so tight that if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no chance to do it!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Those two guys got a bargain!
