The fairy father

Barry is only half of 90.

Li Ping'an continued to use his spiritual sense to explore the way forward. Instead of relaxing during the last few hundred miles, he became more cautious.

Until the familiar mountain forest came into view.

Li Ping'an stopped on the hill, looking across the lush valley at the small Taoist temple halfway up the opposite mountain, feeling filled with emotion.

The empty mountains are covered with new rain and the white mist is hazy.

On that summer day five years ago, he relied on a hatchet, a hunting bow, and under the guidance of several woodcutters, drank from mountain springs, ate game, and went through hardships to find this Taoist temple.

It was here that he knocked on the two closed doors and found the 'turning point' of this life.

Li Pingan has always been grateful to Taoist Master Chen Gongmin.

Looking at the clouds in the sky through the glass mirror in the palm of his hand, Li Pingan took out the disciple uniform he had prepared before, tied up the Taoist hoops, put on his cloth boots, inserted a bamboo hairpin through the Taoist hoops, and hung two green hairpins on the left and right sides. Long belt.

Afterwards, Li Pingan groped with his hands on his face for a while, and in front of Immortal Yunshang, he took off a mask as thin as cicada wings and restored his original face.

Li Ping'an thought in his mind:

‘The nun pretending to be an old woman knows the art of transfiguration, which is a rare art. ’

‘If she is also a disciple of the Wanyun Sect, she can ask where she learned the transformation technique if she has the opportunity in the future. ’

His figure floated with the mountain wind, letting out a little bit of mana, which became his identity mark.

Taoist Master Chen Gongmin is already one hundred and twenty years old, and he still looks middle-aged. His cultivation has stopped at the Void Refining Realm. He is still far away from the Hezhen Realm, and his ascension to immortality is slim.

Daozhang Chen is an outer disciple of Wanyun Sect stationed in the Mortal Immortal Dynasty. His main responsibility is to look after Wan'an City and its surrounding towns. If there are demons that do evil, those who can be defeated will be eliminated on the spot, and those who cannot be defeated will be reported to the gate.

Like Daozhang Chen, there are two to three thousand Qi refiners of Wanyun Sect stationed in various places in Linzhengxian Dynasty. Most of them are in the realm of refining the void and combining the true, and most of them are in Dadu and the border.

Immortals from the Wanyun Sect will also be stationed in the border areas where conflicts often occur between the Linzheng Immortal Dynasty.

If there are no surprises, Taoist Chen will practice here for the next few decades. If his cultivation can break through to the Hezhen realm, he can go back to the sect and endure the qualifications. If there is someone to support him, he can become like Wei Yanzi. A low-level deacon of the outer sect.

When he was watching Wei Yanzi's ascension to immortality, Li Ping'an had a question.

[Why is there no heavenly tribulation in this world? 】

After consulting a large number of classics, he discovered that there has been no such thing as a catastrophe in this world since ancient times.

The way of heaven is not revealed, and order arises by itself.

The way of heaven in this world refers to the 'way of heaven', rather than the 'reflection of the will of heaven and earth'. The so-called order is constructed by the living beings themselves.

This made Li Pingan a little helpless.

Whether you want to follow Master Tiandao or want to call God a thief, it is all nonsense.

After a while, the young disciples from Wanyun Sect arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

Li Ping'an collected his thoughts, lowered his head, straightened the outer skirt of his Taoist robe, smoothed the hair tie in front of him, and lightly knocked on the firewood door.

Boom, boom!

He raised his chest and raised his head, intending to show off in front of Daozhang Chen, and said jokingly in his heart:

‘This can be considered a homecoming for us. ’

At this time, white mist appeared outside the Taoist temple.

A shallow light wall of the magic circle lit up, completely covering the courtyard. The formation gate was the viewing gate.

‘How come Master Chen is so extravagant? ’

Li Ping'an smiled at first, then became a little wary.

There are not many cultivation resources available to the qi cultivators stationed in the ordinary sect. In order to reduce the loss of spiritual stones, Taoist Master Chen usually only opens the formation here when he is in retreat.

Li Ping'an took two steps back and said loudly: "Disciple Ping'an, I was ordered to come here to deliver a message. Can my old friend be practicing?"

He used some magic power to ensure that his voice could be heard.

The walls of the Taoist temple shook two or three times and then closed.

Li Ping'an's heart suddenly became full of vigilance.

The moment the formation closed, he noticed a strange aura and Taoist charm. Although he was also from the Wanyun Sect, it was quite different from Taoist Master Chen's aura.

Li Pingan's right hand immediately grasped a homemade magic weapon the size of a date core.

squeak——yo——

The door axis let out a sigh of relief.

A small head poked out of the door, with two pink hair buns quite conspicuous.

Double head?

The female cultivator who used the transformation technique to pretend to be the old woman also had the same hairstyle.

The young female cultivator looked outside. When she saw Li Pingan, she blinked her big rippling eyes and whispered in her gentle voice:

"Who are you looking for? My master is out."

Li Ping'an frowned tightly, his expression a little cold.

Could it be that Daozhang Chen was plotted by this group of people?

When the female cultivator saw Li Ping'an at this moment, her Taoist heart also fluctuated a little.

It's not that I was scared by what Li Ping'an said about cremation, but...

‘Is this his true face? So handsome. ’

Wen Ling'er opened the two wooden doors and continued to play the role of an innocent and harmless girl. The short skirt on her body did not reach the knees, and her pair of white jade legs had no extra decoration.

Her attire is slightly different from that of ordinary nuns. Her slender feet are wearing 'straw sandals' made of jade strips, with obvious thick heels.

Wen Ling'er's almond-shaped eyes were shining brightly, and she said softly: "Looking at your aura, are you also a disciple of Wanyun Sect?"

"I come from Wanyun Sect," Li Ping'an frowned, "Is Taoist Master Chen your master?"

"Yeah!"

"I have a close relationship with Taoist Master Chen. We have only been separated for three years. I never thought that Taoist Chen would have an additional disciple in the Condensing Light Realm!"

Li Ping'an's eyes were a little threatening.

Wen Ling'er explained calmly:

"Don't misunderstand me, I only became a disciple in the past two years.

"Before, I had been practicing in Fangzhen on the coast of the East China Sea. I worked in the elixir shop of our Wan Yun Sect. I had to practice the martial arts in the outer sect. After decades of practice, I could only obtain this kind of Taoist fruit.

"I heard that my master had the chance to become an immortal, and he also practiced in the mountain gate. Therefore, I relied on many connections to become his disciple.

"As long as the master returns to the door, I can follow him back to the door and enter the immortal book...

"It's just for a future."

After saying this, Wen Ling'er lowered her slender eyebrows, her small body trembled slightly, and then lowered her head and sighed softly.

Li Ping'an's thoughts changed rapidly, and his expression gradually softened.

He said: "From what you say, this doesn't sound like forgery. Do you have any proof?"

"Of course there is."

Wen Ling'er took out several things - a few pages of account books from a certain elixir shop in Wan Yun Sect's town, some empty jade bottles marked with Wan Yun Sect, and the identity jade plate of the elixir shop.

Li Ping'an decided to test the other party's reality, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He said: "It's true that I wrongly blamed fellow Taoist. I wonder where Mr. Chen has gone and when will he be able to return?"

Wen Ling'er hurriedly said: "Master received an urgent message a few days ago, saying that a group of evil cultivators are eyeing a spiritual mine nearby. There are thousands of mortals working in that spiritual mine, but only four qi refiners from the sect are stationed there. , so I invite my master to come to my rescue... Let’s not talk here. If master finds out, he will scold me for being rude again. Please come in."

"Thank you."

Li Ping'an's spiritual sense had already explored the inside and outside of the Taoist temple several times. He cupped his hands and followed the woman into the temple gate.

The courtyard of the Taoist temple is clean and tidy, with bluestone paved ground dotted with moss. In the center of the courtyard is a seven-foot-square fish pond, with more than a dozen koi carp swimming leisurely under the lotus leaves.

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "This courtyard has not changed at all since I last came here."

Wen Ling'er quickly went to the side room to make tea.

Li Ping'an sat on the stone chair in front of the door in a familiar manner and turned to stare at Wen Ling'er's back.

She is really not tall, but she is slim and cute, and her legs are in good proportion.

Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "Didn't Master Chen ever mention me to you?"

Wen Ling'er, who was handling the stone furnace, did not pause and said with a smile: "I have just become a disciple, and the master rarely mentions his friends to me. How should you call them?"

"Li Ping'an, like fellow Taoists, has not yet entered the outer gate."

Li Pingan smiled and said:

"Right now, I'm doing a trial mission for the outer sect. I'm lucky. The trial mission I got is very simple, which is to send a letter to Daochang Chen.

"If I can successfully pass, I will be considered a disciple of Wanyun Sect."

"It's really enviable."

Wen Ling'er came with a tea tray and laughed and exchanged greetings:

"I think fellow Taoist is not very old, and has already achieved the cultivation level of Condensing Light Realm? Fellow Taoist cast some spells to cover himself, but I can't see clearly.

"It stands to reason that a Taoist friend who is so young and promising should be accepted as a disciple by an immortal. How come he has to pass the outer sect's trial like this?"

Li Ping'an's eyes flickered slightly: "The internal situation here is quite complicated, and it can be regarded as being dragged down by my father."

"Being dragged down by your father?"

Wen Ling'er leaned over and poured tea, wondering: "How did you say this?"

Li Ping'an said calmly: "My father became a disciple of Kong Ming, the founder of the sect, and became a disciple of the founder. My seniority was also pulled up. Maybe the immortals in the sect are taboo about this, and I guess it's because my opportunity has not come yet. ."

After saying this, he picked up the cup of tea and brought it straight to his mouth.

Wen Ling'er's smile froze on her face.

Kai, the founder of the mountain, master and disciple!

The disciple of the ancestor of Jinxian inside the door!

The person he wants to trap now is the disciple of the founder of the sect!

Li Ping'an pretended to drink water.

"Hey! Sir!"

Wen Ling'er raised her hand to grab the tea cup, but stopped forcibly, her whole body seemed to tremble, and her delicate voice also became trembling:

"Fellow Taoist! This tea is from last night!"

"Um?"

Li Ping'an raised his head and glanced at Wen Ling'er, but he just brought the tea cup to his nose and gently fanned himself with his other hand.

He seemed to be sniffing, but in fact he had already sealed his mouth and nose with magic power. He put down the tea cup with a smile and looked up at Wen Ling'er.

At this moment, Wen Ling'er felt like she was standing under the scorching sun, and her heart was in a daze.

Is she involved in a power struggle at the highest level within the family?

Li Ping'an asked again: "What do you call fellow Taoist?"

"Ling'er...my name is Wen Ling'er."

Wen Ling'er responded well. Although she was disturbed by Li Ping'an, she immediately smiled a little: "I never thought that you would have such a background."

"Just taking advantage of my father."

Li Pingan said:

"I had some fun when I came here, and I met an old woman who claimed to be the mother of a disciple of my Wanyun Sect.

"The old woman wants to commit suicide, saying that her children are unfilial and unwilling to survive.

"I looked at it very interestingly and deliberately teased her.

“The old woman thought she was pretending well, but in fact she didn’t even do the most basic details, and I saw through it at a glance.

"She is so young. If her children are unfilial, how can she be so rosy-cheeked, have such a strong body, and even the tea she makes smells so bad."

Li Ping'an raised his head and looked at Wen Ling'er: "What do fellow Taoists think?"

Wen Ling'er subconsciously took half a step back, holding her pink fist and staring at Li Ping'an, her handsome little face full of confusion and confusion.

If Li Ping'an hadn't reported his "father's virtue" before, Wen Ling'er would have revolted at this moment.

But now, she doesn't dare.

"Fellow Daoist Wen Ling'er, don't you want to say anything to me?"

Li Pingan maintained a gentle smile and his voice remained unhurried:

"If what the Taoist friend said outside the Taoist temple is true, then the Taoist friend has been in this world for decades and should understand what it means to assess the situation.

"You said that you are from the coast of the East China Sea. The coast of the East China Sea is quite long and narrow. There are more than 1,200 small and large towns. Our Wan Yun Sect has hundreds of shops, most of which are concentrated in dozens of towns in the middle of the coast of the East China Sea.

"The shoes on your feet are not common in Dongzhou, but they are quite fashionable in Yingzhou, an overseas fairyland. Among the several large towns and cities closest to Yingzhou, I, Wan Yun Sect, and several other sects happen to have the same shoes. Controlled Dafang Town.

"If my prediction is correct, is that where you practice?"

Wen Ling'er gave a stiff smile and said, "You are really well-informed. You are practicing in the door, but you can see thousands of miles away."

"I just like to read some miscellaneous books."

Li Pingan sighed softly:

"Since you didn't deny it, I roughly know who the immortal in the cloud above my head is.

"The person in charge of those shops is Senior Xiao Yue, the elder of the outer sect. She is known as Manager Xiao within the sect. She studied under the Golden Immortal within the sect and is not afraid of offending my father.

"Come to think of it, what happened today is probably due to those experts in the sect who believed my father's rumors and thought that my father would become the next leader, and asked her to come forward to make my trial a little more difficult.

"Whether this outer sect test is successful or not has little impact on me. The worst result is that my father will lose some face.

"But what about you? Fellow Daoist Wen."

Wen Ling'er's face turned pale.

She subconsciously looked up into the air and whispered: "Fellow Taoist seems to be talking nonsense... I don't even know this."

Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "Is Master Chen okay?"

"It's okay! It must be okay! He's at the spiritual mine!"

"Then let's go."

Li Ping'an stood up, looked into Wen Ling'er's eyes, and suddenly laughed again:

"You are also a disciple of my Wan Yun Sect. You are just following orders today, so I don't need to make it too difficult for you.

“Wherever you were going to lead me, take me now.

"When I think about it, this is just that Elder Xiao wants to test my young disciple."

After saying that, Li Pingan took out the jade talisman and placed it on the table in front of him.

"This is a letter sent to me by the sect. If I put it here, it will be given to Daozhang Chen. If Daoist Chen cannot see it, I will ask the sect to investigate the matter strictly."

Wen Ling'er blinked lightly.

She suddenly came to her senses.

The guy in front of me went around in such a big circle, and it seemed that he just wanted to keep Chen Gongmin safe?

Li Ping'an raised his head and looked at the clouds where Xiao Yue was hiding, and held his hands in the distance without saying much.

On the cloud, Xiao Yue frowned tightly.

She was discovered by Li Ping'an?

This son actually took the initiative to bring out the Golden Immortal Ancestor behind his father, and held her back with only a few words, making all her calculations pointless...

Xiao Yue suddenly heard a voice, but it was Elder Yan Sheng who took the initiative to call and invited her to watch the ceremony together in the clouds.
