Chapter 2198: The traces of old friends, undercurrents
Great wilderness.
Shinto Gate Main Altar.
On top of Suying Peak, one of the Three Veins of Dongyuan Dojo, there is an unusually quiet valley with splashing waterfalls, singing birds and fragrant flowers. The vitality of heaven and earth is quite abundant. It can be called a rare paradise for immortals.
But to have such an elegant cave in the Shinto Sect where there are so many strong men and evildoers, unless you are a person with a good status and a profound background, you can't even think about it.
After all, this Shinto sect is no better than Yudingshan. The latter is relatively peaceful in its practice of alchemy. However, the former is also a top sect, and the internal competition is far more intense than people imagine. If it is not someone with a quick mind and good means, It's almost impossible to get ahead.
To sum up, just by looking at a cave in Suying Peak, it can be seen that the status of its owner is high, which is beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
And that's exactly what happened.
I saw a woman in white clothes and plain skirt standing beside the pool where the waterfall gathered. Her slender jade fingers were like butterflies piercing flowers, constantly making various complicated handprints, causing the surrounding heaven and earth energy to gather quickly, forming various shapes in the mid-air. All kinds of strange phenomena are obviously practicing magical powers and secret techniques.
Look at this woman's bright eyes, white teeth, skin like snow, hooked eyebrows, tall figure, and a frosty temperament that would repel people thousands of miles away. She looks like a fairy in the snow. She can really be seen from a distance. Don't play with it.
There is no doubt that this woman is the reborn body of Murong Xuanying, and she is now studying under "Mengchen" from the Dongyuan lineage!
As one of the three great saints of the Shinto Sect, the Mengchen Fairy has only been practicing for a short time, so her cultivation strength and prestige cannot be compared with those of the other two saints. In addition, she lives in seclusion on weekdays. He has always been covered with a veil of mystery, but he has been criticized privately within the sect for many years, and there are many people who want to replace him.
Fortunately, the leader of the Shinto Sect overcame all the objections, and the first elder of the Dongyuan lineage personally intervened, so the matter was forcibly finalized. Over time, the resistance within the sect gradually faded away.
Fortunately, as a former proud daughter of heaven, Meng Chen's innate understanding is already top-notch. It is no exaggeration to say that when she was in the lower realm, if she hadn't been overshadowed by a certain evil spirit and interfered with her Taoist mind, she would not have been able to do so. He is the number one genius in Canglan Realm!
Because of this, even now in the spirit world, she still lives up to her reputation as a saint.
Relying on the spareless resource supply of Dongyuan lineage, the cultivation speed of this Mengchen saint is quite astonishing. Now, only a hundred years have passed since the Wudou Tai incident, and her cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of divine transformation, and He also showed extremely high talent in magic and had a tendency to catch up from behind.
In view of this, the opposition voices within the sect finally disappeared completely, especially the many monks from the Dongyuan lineage who had long been dormant by this woman's talent and even began to support her with all their strength.
The reason why we can achieve such amazing results is not only due to the advantages in resources, but also the teachings of “good teachers”.
After all, she was appointed by the head of the Shinto Sect that day, and she worshiped under the sect of the first elder of Dongyuan. Otherwise, where would she have been today?
For example, at this moment, there are two monks beside the pool.
The leader among them is a hunched old man with a thin body and a cane. He is sitting on a stone chair, sipping tea with a leisurely look on his face, but his eyes are looking at Mengchen who is practicing the secret technique, and sometimes There will also be a hint of relief.
If there were any deacons from the inner sect here, they would be so surprised that they would pay homage to him. This is probably because this old man who looks so unimpressive is one of the three elders of the Shinto sect. He is a strong man in the middle stage of integration and the first "Tiancan" in Dongyuan. Ancestor"!
Behind him, there is a young man standing respectfully. Looking at this man's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, he has an extraordinary aura, a handsome face, a handsome and suave face, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of refining the void. He is obviously a senior brother of the Dongyuan lineage. , "Mo Qing" is the direct disciple of the first elder!
It's just that this person looked humble and polite on the surface, but in fact, from the corner of his eye, he glanced straight at the graceful figure on the surface of the pool. In addition to deep admiration, there was also a deeply concealed desire.
As everyone knows, all this cannot escape the old man's perception.
Seeing that his proud disciple, who had been trained by his own hands, was now so rude, the old man felt that iron could not be transformed into steel, so he couldn't help but reprimanded in a stern voice:
"You bastard, you have been practicing hard for many years but you still can't calm down. Could it be that your heart was eaten by a dog? Don't say that I didn't warn you. This girl was hand-picked by the head master and will be of great use to our sect in the future. You'd better put away your little thoughts, otherwise I may not even be able to protect you..."
Hearing this, Mo Qing couldn't help but be horrified, and he knelt down in panic, and defended himself with a blushing face:
"I am stupid, please forgive me for my sins, but...it's just that I am infatuated with Junior Sister Mengchen, which is definitely not what the Master thinks. I have the courage to ask the Master to help me." ....."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man waving his sleeves:
"Shut up~! If it were another woman, she would have no problem being a teacher, but this girl is definitely not good at it. Your cultivation level is still shallow and you don't know how high the sky is, and you don't know how terrible the cause and effect this girl is involved in. This is not what you are today at all. My cultivation level can bear it......"
However, the words stopped abruptly here.
It was obvious that Patriarch Tiancan did not want to reveal too many secrets, so as not to involve the successor he had finally cultivated, because he knew the horror of that rare treasure.
Let me ask, strong people in the combined stage must be careful, so how can a mere junior interfere?
As soon as these words came out, Mo Qing couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Based on his status, although he can be called a genius in the sect, almost second only to the three saints, he is not qualified to know the plan of the Shinto leader. At most, he can get a few words of information from the master and know how to admire him. My junior sister has an extraordinary background.
But he never expected that the secrets behind this mysterious little junior sister would be so terrifying that even strong men in the Fusion stage would treat her with caution, and even attracted the headmaster to personally interrogate her.
At this moment, Mo Qing's heart had already stirred up huge waves, but as a senior brother of the Dongyuan lineage, his mind was by no means comparable, so he quickly reacted and realized the huge opportunity hidden in it.
So, after pondering for a while, he immediately bowed his hands again and asked sincerely:
"Master, I would like to ask you to be clear. Disciples who are involved behind the scenes dare not make any comments. But since Junior Sister Mengchen has entered my Dongyuan Gate, she is naturally a member of my Dongyuan lineage. Could it be that Master is willing to see that in the future, this lineage Are you completely disqualified from competing for the head coach position?”
As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Tiancan finally fell silent.
Indeed, compared to "Sirius" and "Tai Xing", the Dongyuan lineage has been in decline for too long. If no successor emerges, it may be difficult to reverse the situation in the future.
But now the opportunity is right in front of us. As long as we have firm control over this girl, we will not only have an advantage in the fight for the rare treasure, but we may also have the hope of revitalizing the Dongyuan lineage. It can really be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for the higher-ups of the Shinto Sect, after all, who really cares about the life and death of an ant? After all, it's just a matter of conflict of interest. In the end, it all depends on who has the better move!
With this in mind, Patriarch Tiancan's expression finally softened, and then uncharacteristically no longer objected, and even sighed with deep meaning:
"That's it, that's it~! Since you idiot is so persistent, I will no longer do that thing of beating mandarin ducks. If your senior brother and sister can really get married, it will also be my Dongyuan's blessing. By then Your own master will make the decision for you, but you must remember not to act recklessly and act with caution..."
Seeing that the old man's attitude finally changed and he even put on a supportive posture, Mo Qing, who had been plotting for a long time, was overjoyed and quickly expressed his respectful thanks:
"I wish that Master would make me perfect, and my disciples will definitely remember it in their hearts. From now on, they will definitely carry forward my Dongyuan lineage to repay the kindness of Master for cultivating me!"
Hearing these words, Old Ancestor Can was greatly relieved that day, and it was obvious that he still had great hopes for his favorite disciple.
And at this moment, Meng Chen also happened to finish the drill, and his figure floated in like a flying swallow. That agile figure was really pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this situation, the master and the disciple immediately stopped plotting, and turned to look full of praise as usual. On that day, Can Laozu said with a kind face:
"Hmm~! Not bad! For being able to practice the Thirteenth Zhengfa of Dongyuan to such a level in such a short period of time, it seems that this girl of yours is indeed gifted. You will definitely accomplish a lot in time...! "
Seeing this, Mo Qing on the side also hurriedly echoed:
"What Master said is absolutely true. Junior sister is extremely talented, and it is obvious to everyone in the sect. I'm afraid it won't be long before she breaks through the entrance, and she will definitely be a blockbuster!"
Hearing such remarks, even Meng Chen, who had always had a cold temperament, couldn't help but blush slightly, and then he bowed respectfully and said humbly:
"Master and senior brother are so ridiculous. Mengchen is nothing more than a mediocre person. He is what he is today thanks to master's teachings. How can I dare to say anything else? I only hope that one day I can live forever and repay the kindness of my master for cultivating me. It’s already a blessing in this life……!”
Looking at the respectful look of the woman in front of him, Patriarch Tiancan couldn't help stroking his beard, nodded with satisfaction and praised:
"Hmm~ Not bad! Be grateful, proud but not arrogant. The little girl is indeed a talent. Mo Qing, you have to learn from this...!"
The latter respectfully said yes when he heard this, but the corner of his eye always fell on the woman beside him, and it was almost impossible to move away from him. Moreover, compared to before, he was obviously much bolder, as if he was determined to win. posture.
In the following time, Patriarch Tiancan gave some pointers to Mengchen's practice. He waited for several hours before taking off and left. However, senior brother Mo Qing stayed behind and praised his reputation. It is said to exchange cultivation experiences.
Seeing this situation, due to the friendship between his masters, Meng Chen politely agreed, but secretly he frowned.
Although her memory disappeared after rebirth, making her now like a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and her mind is even more simple and terrifying, but for some reason, whenever a male cultivator approaches, she will always feel disgusted subconsciously. In addition, Saint Female Lingyue's reminder also made her feel a little more wary.
Mo Qing, who kept his master's "teachings" in mind, naturally did not dare to act recklessly. After staying for an hour with some excuses, he saw that it was getting late and had to take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
However, the beauty's indifferent attitude also made the senior brother Wuming angry. So just when he was about to leave the valley, he couldn't help but turn around quietly and secretly made an oath in his heart:
"Hmph! You are just a puppet, yet you dare to act arrogantly in front of me? Just wait. One day, I will make you, a bitch, surrender voluntarily. And how can the position of the headmaster fall into the hands of a woman? Apart from me, who else can take on this important task............?"
After a hateful oath, Mo Qing finally left in a huff, and returned to the image of the handsome and elegant senior brother. I don't know how many female cultivators were secretly obsessed with him along the way.

At the same time, in the main hall of the Shinto sect, a conspiracy was quietly going on.
