In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Lu Yuan had already made up his mind to take Mei Ning back to Luoyun Sect and live a stable life as soon as the palace meeting was over.

When Tiannan was fighting with the Mulan people, Han Li was the one who took the limelight, so what did it have to do with him?

After staying here for half a day, everyone in the hall said goodbye and left.

As if he had received amnesty, Lu Yuan, Han Li and others left the hall and returned to the Luoyun Sect's headquarters.

Lu Luo happily invited Lu Yuan and others to the side hall where he lived. He said that he had recently traded some rare items with some Yuanying colleagues, and asked the three of them to take a look.

But when the four people arrived, there was a pill-forming monk from the Luoyun Sect walking anxiously around the side hall.

"Senior nephew Feng, what's the matter?" Lu Luo asked with a surprised look on his face.

This nephew Feng seemed to have something unspeakable. He opened his mouth again and again, but not a single word came out. But after seeing Lu Yuan and the others, his eyes were a little dodgey.

"Bold! Are the three junior uncles outsiders? There is something in Luoyun Sect that they cannot know!" Lu Luo quickly saw what junior nephew Feng was thinking and scolded him angrily.

"Uncles, please forgive me. It's my nephew's fault. Someone just came to deliver a letter to the door, saying that Senior Linghu from Huang Maple Valley wants to meet with some uncles in Tianyicheng.

The location is in the jade slips. "Master Nephew Feng handed over a jade slip with a panicked look on his face, knowing that he had caused a big disaster.

If Lu Yuan and the others had any resentment over this, Lu Luo wouldn't have skinned him!

When Lu Luo heard that it was the ancestor Linghu who invited him, his expression changed, but he soon returned to his original state.

Facing the jade slip, he did not pick it up, but continued to scold Master Nephew Feng.

"What's wrong with Yellow Maple Valley? It's their own business where these uncles want to go. How dare you interfere in it privately. This time, I will go back to the valley and think about it for fifty years!"

"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, calm down. Senior Nephew Feng is also thinking about the sect, so just give him a little reprimand." Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and took the jade slip.

"Senior Brother Lu, we will come back as soon as we go."

"Well, the three junior brothers can just do their own thing. I'll wait for you to come back here. Don't forget that there are a few good things waiting for you." Lu Luo nodded, smiled and said.

Lu Yuan clasped his fists and looked at Master Feng's nephew with interest. The dignified monk in the late stage of pill formation was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff.

Then he and Han Li turned around and walked out.

"Humph! Although Junior Brother Lu begged for you, but you are so disrespectful to your elders, fifty years is too young, go back and face the wall for a hundred years!" Lu Luo looked at the backs of the three of them and said angrily again, for fear that Lu Yuan and others could not hear. .

It wasn't until Lu Yuan and the other three turned into light and disappeared that their faces finally showed a look of worry, and they let out a long sigh.

Today in the meeting hall, with the help of Lu Yuan and the other three, he had a good experience of enjoying the shade under a big tree.

Before I had enough fun, this happened. If one or two of them were really kidnapped by the cunning old monster Linghu, it would be a huge loss.

"Is your Uncle Mei in the station?" Lu Luo asked silently after a while.

"Here, I'm chatting with Junior Sister Song in the main hall. I'm going to ask Uncle Junior to come over."

"Stupid!" Lu Luo roared, left the side hall and ran towards the main hall.

Junior Nephew Feng was dumbfounded for a while, perhaps because he was scolded repeatedly, which made him a little distracted. It took him a while to understand.

But thinking about the punishment of facing the wall for hundreds of years, I felt bitter in my heart.

We can't just go on like this. Lu Luo has already gone to find Mei Ning, so he has to take action himself.

I heard that Sun Huo from Huoyun Peak has some connections with the three uncles, so we might as well start with him.

......

Following the address in the jade slip, Lu Yuan and the other three came to a somewhat remote side street, and their eyes fell on a two-story attic.

Outside the building stood two male cultivators in yellow clothes who were in the foundation building stage, looking at the three of them.

"I've seen the three seniors, and the master is waiting inside!" the two said with their hands tied respectfully.

The whole attic was quiet and seemed deserted. The three of them went directly to the second floor without stopping.

On the second floor is a small second-level private room. There is a person sitting in the outer hall, wearing a yellow robe and with a sallow face. He is the ancestor Linghu.

He was currently sitting at a simple round table in the middle of the second floor, holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping it.

There were three other teacups on the round table. Lu Yuan and the other three were not polite and sat down steadily with different expressions on their faces.

Brother Tiezi looked at Patriarch Linghu with a dissatisfied look on his face. Han Li remained silent, but Lu Yuan was the most relaxed.

Ancestor Linghu didn't say anything, but made a move with one hand. A brewed teapot on the table floated lightly. He lowered the spout and poured half a cup into three tea cups.

Then the teapot floated off the table on its own.

"This spiritual tea is produced in the Yellow Maple Valley of the Yue Kingdom. I wonder if you three still remember the taste." Ancestor Linghu narrowed his eyes slightly and said leisurely.

Except for Brother Tiezi, Lu Yuan and Han Li all took a sip.

"The Taoist friend's disciple died young, and I do have something to do with it. But at that time, she was disheartened because of the death of her Taoist friend. Even if I had some means, there was nothing I could do in the end." Ancestor Linghu looked at himself Brother Tiezi, who was displeased, sighed and said slowly.

Brother Tiezi picked up the teacup and tasted it, unwilling to pay any attention to Ancestor Linghu.

Ancestor Linghu knew that Brother Tiezi must still be holding a grudge, so by not flipping the table over on the spot, he was already giving him face. Seeing that there was little hope, he looked at Han Li again.

"Due to the incident with the Hidden Moon Sect, it has been very difficult for Yellow Maple Valley in the past six months. If it weren't for my presence and the invasion of the Mulan people, the Huayi Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect would have come to the door long ago.

But in another twenty years at most, I will pass away, and by then Yellow Maple Valley..."

"Han will remember the kindness of fellow Taoist's help in the past. If there is trouble in Yellow Maple Valley in the future, he will not sit idly by and ignore it." Han Li subconsciously narrowed his eyes before saying calmly.

"Fellow Taoist, you don't want to return to Yellow Maple Valley and take up the position of elder?" Ancestor Linghu said calmly, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"Back to Yellow Maple Valley?" Han Lixin showed no emotion on his face. He just lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand, expressionless and said nothing.

"There are still many of your former classmates in the Yellow Maple Valley. If there were no Nascent Soul stage monks to take charge, they would probably be wiped out overnight. But the fellow Taoists are thousands of miles away and beyond reach. Their fate will be decided. Got it." Ancestor Linghu started to feel emotional.

"Now that I have joined the Luoyun Sect, I have no intention of switching to Guigu. Fellow Daoist Linghu should find another monk. As for my former fellow disciples, each has his or her own destiny, and I will not interfere with them." Han Li raised his head, stared at Ancestor Linghu, and shook his head while preaching.

After hearing what Han Li said, Ancestor Linghu frowned and said nothing for a while.

He slowly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Lu Yuan who had a smile on his face.

Lu Yuan wanted to hear how Ancestor Linghu would persuade him, a scum that was notorious in the Yellow Maple Valley.

During the Qi refining period, he privately sold the Foundation Building Pill given to him, causing tens of thousands of disciples to riot.

After building the foundation, he went out of his way to injure several fellow disciples and set fire to the mountain.

Later, although it became famous in Jinguyuan, some of its reputation was restored. But during the retreat, despite the edict from the sect, he refused to return without any reason. His behavior was no different from defecting from the division sect.

Strangely, Ancestor Linghu looked at Lu Yuan for a while, and his expression turned a little sad.

This was somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectation. Could it be that at his age, he still has to cry for himself?

"Come out." Ancestor Linghu said to the inner hall.

There are others here!

Lu Yuan and the three of them were a little surprised, because they felt that Ancestor Linghu could not do anything detrimental to the three of them, so they did not use their spiritual sense to investigate after they came in.

Heavy footsteps sounded slowly, and a figure walked out of the inner hall.

He is an old man with gray hair and a sad face, dressed plainly.

Wu Feng!

Han Li and Brother Tiezi recognized the person and turned their attention to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan naturally recognized that the person who came was Wu Feng, but his eyes were attracted by an exquisite tray held flatly in his hands.

What was placed on it was extremely familiar to Lu Yuan. It was a blue gourd surrounded by aura.

Could it be?

Lu Yuan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"It's so dangerous to enter the Tao with demons. Tian Fei couldn't pass that hurdle after all." Ancestor Linghu lamented.

Even though he had expected it in his heart, Lu Yuan still felt a thump in his heart after hearing what Ancestor Linghu said.

"Do you want to exchange it for me to return to Yellow Maple Valley?" Lu Yuan looked at the blue gourd and asked subconsciously.

"Master made a special statement before he attacked Nascent Soul. If anything happens to him, he asked me to hand this thing over to the senior." Wu Feng spoke and handed the gourd to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at it for a while, but didn't answer it. This made Ancestor Linghu, who had a hint of expectation in his eyes, flash a sad look on his face.

"Did he say anything else?"

"Master said that if he fails, it is his fate and he does not need to blame others."

"Where is Old Demon Yunlu?" Lu Yuan glanced at Ancestor Linghu.

"Old Demon Yunlu also helped Tian Fei when he attacked Nascent Soul. I know that fellow Taoist has extraordinary powers now, but he has the support of Old Demon Hehuan behind him. Fellow Taoist had better not seek bad luck on him easily." Ancestor Linghu He reminded with a solemn expression.

"Let Wu Feng stay with me. I can still take care of him."

"Don't you even want to return to Yellow Maple Valley, fellow Taoist?" Ancestor Linghu smiled bitterly.

"Wu Feng appreciates the kindness of my senior. I have decided to fulfill my master's last wish and guard his mausoleum in the last few years." Wu Feng handed the tray forward again.

"Your master is here. From now on, junior brother, you can keep it for me." Lu Yuan pushed the tray back into Wu Feng's arms, and then looked at Ancestor Linghu.

"Give me some time and let Huang Maple Valley move to Yunmeng Mountain."

Although during his Qi refining period, Tian Fei was not a very good master.

But after building the foundation, his behavior is quite remarkable. Not only did he help him solve the crisis in his heart, but he also protected him several times and fought with the old monster Qiong. Even after retreating from Huang Maple Valley, he took the risk of sneaking back to Yue Kingdom to find himself.

Lu Yuan still kept this feeling in his heart.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Ancestor Linghu looked like he was mourning his concubine just now. His eyes suddenly lit up and he thanked him happily.

However, he is also an old goblin who has lived for a thousand years, and he knows that although Lu Yuan promised, he did not give an accurate time. Now Huang Maple Valley is very unpopular in the Nine-Nation Alliance, and every day is suffering.

If he didn't express his feelings, there would be nothing he could do if Lu Yuan delayed the matter.

"This time I invite some fellow Taoists to come. I have also prepared three important treasures. If you don't mind, you might as well accept them." Ancestor Linghu showed a smile on his face, and then reached out and took out three things from his waist. Come on, put it on the table.

A small shiny blue shield and a red jade bottle. A black jade pendant-like thing seemed to be a jade talisman.

Lu Yuan just glanced at him. Brother Tiezi didn't have a good look at Ancestor Linghu and still ignored him.

Only Han Li swept away his previous indifference and listened with interest to Ancestor Linghu's introduction.

"Take it away if you want. Let's see what potential you have." After Ancestor Linghu finished the introduction, Lu Yuan said to Han Li angrily.

"This 'Blue Light Shield' is extraordinary. I think you can give it to Mei Ning for self-defense. Brother Zhang has studied the talisman very deeply. Since the jade talisman was made by an ancient monk, he might be able to learn some tricks." . I will keep it for you first." Han Li said without blushing and without a beating heart. He flicked his sleeves and robes on the table like a flowing stream, and the three things disappeared immediately.

After talking about the business, the three of them had no intention of staying here any longer and immediately stood up to leave.

......

"Boy Lu, what do you want that gourd for? Although there is 'Soft Water Yin Thunder' in it, it has been refined by others and you can't use it." After returning to the station, Lord Dayan asked doubtfully.

Since coming to Tianyicheng, God Lord Dayan rarely communicates with Lu Yuan and others.

For example, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the city today, and the three major monks and some old monsters who have not been born for a long time have arrived.

Over the years, due to the severe disasters suffered by Lu Yuan, the soul power of God Lord Dayan has not been as strong as it was back then. It is difficult to ensure that you will not be discovered if you communicate by voice at will.

Lu Yuan and the others were helpless against the weakening Divine Lord Dayan. Although a lot of spiritual elixirs were used to enhance soul power, without physical support, they only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.

As for the 'Qixia Lotus' proposed by God Lord Dayan, such a divine object is rare in the world and there is no way to find it.

When Brother Tiezi was chatting with Lord Dayan, he learned from him that Lord Dayan knew several places where Qixialian might grow.

But those were all extremely dangerous places. Even in his heyday, he had no confidence that he could escape from them.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Tool Spirit Root'?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

"Item Spirit Root?" Not only Han Li and Brother Tiezi, but also the well-informed Lord Dayan were also confused.

"I have seen this kind of secret technique in an ancient monk's cave. The so-called 'weapon spirit root' is to use some kind of magic weapon treasure to replace the effect of the spirit root. If you refine that gourd into your own' Can't the water spirit root be used to control the soft water yin thunder inside?" Lu Yuan explained the weapon spirit root and expressed his thoughts.

"No wonder. Such a heaven-defying method can only be created by ancient monks or people from the upper world." God Lord Dayan sighed.

"Then do you know how to refine it?" Han Lili was shocked and asked.

"I don't know this yet, but I think there is someone who should know something about it." Lu Yuan glanced at Han Li and said mysteriously.
