Chapter 1331: Chapter 512: The Sealed Casket Yields No Sharp Sword, Its Cry Echoes Freely in the Heights of Yun Tian (2)
The guardianship is so strict, even the tide can be blocked. Even if Wei Shuling doubles the number of people this time, as long as there is prior preparedness, they would still be unafraid.
Since those in the sect who do not have a command token are not allowed to fly, Song Chuyun, who had left the sect for a year, brought the limping Daoist here and dared not to overstep. They could only slowly walk along the mountain path stone path towards the peak. Fortunately, Cangzhu Peak lies above the Divine House Spiritual Veins, mostly White Spring Abyss and Linglong Elegance Stone, which look extraordinarily beautiful, and do not feel uninteresting.
After walking for about an hour, the two reached the pinnacle of Cangzhu Peak. Here the cliff towers steeply, with dense pines and cypresses, lush green grass, there is a Cave Mansion embedded into the mountain wall. On the two stone gates hangs a white jade plaque with the words "Cangzhu" inscribed.
In front of the cave gate is a stone platform of four to five acres, all paved with white jade bricks and stones. On the left-hand stone wall, a bell pavilion can be seen, just a few steps away, a rushing waterfall cascades down from the height of clouds, forming a white thread, accumulating a clear pond near the Cave Mansion, several Spiritual Carp with long whiskers swim back and forth within, at the moment a big-headed child is sitting on the stone, occasionally casting bait, causing the carp to scramble, frequently leaping, occasionally flashing a string of golden light.
Song Chuyun stepped forward and spoke to the big-headed child: "Please inform the Sect Leader that Song Chuyun has returned to the mountain, requesting an audience."
The big-headed child jumped off the big stone casually, saying: "Daoist, please wait for a moment." After speaking, he went inside to deliver the message.
Song Chuyun whispered: "That Daoist boy is an alien cultivating, greatly trusted by True Master Zhang, fellow Daoist must not offend him."
The limping Daoist nodded silently, thinking to himself: "Looking at this appearance, this True Master Zhang indeed, as Daoist Song mentioned, does not regard alien evil cultivators as great threats."
After a short while, Jing You came out and said: "Daoist Song, the master has called you inside."
Song Chuyun turned to the limping Daoist and said: "Daoist Tang, I trouble you to wait here for a moment."
The limping Daoist smiled: "Daoist Song, just go."
Song Chuyun adjusted his attire and entered the Cave Mansion.
The limping Daoist stood alone outside the mansion, admiring the surroundings.
Despite having decent talent, unfortunately with physical defects, the major sects were unwilling to accept him, he could only apprentice under an Evil Sect Cultivator residing in the depths of the mountains. Because he is the only one in the sect, cultivating has been difficult, let alone training disciples, fearing that after reincarnation, no one would guide him, thus he conceived the idea of seeking shelter with a sect.
When Song Chuyun found him, he felt Zhang Yan was someone suitable to rely on. Firstly, Han Yuan Sect is not like the Five Major Sects. If he, a Nascent Soul First Realm Cultivator, actively sought them, he would most likely be respected, secondly, observing the conduct of the Sect Leader, he seemed quite capable, not a mediocrity, a person like this could make the sect flourish, if boarding this boat sailing with the wind, at least he could change his fortune.
After waiting for a while, Jing You came out of the Cave Mansion again, bowed and said: "Are you Daoist Tang, the master invites you inside for an audience."
The limping Daoist remembered Song Chuyun’s words, not looking down due to the other being a Daoist boy, smiling and saying: "Thank you."
Jing You laughed and said: "Daoist, upon meeting the master, remember not to exaggerate, just speak truthfully."
The limping Daoist looked at him deeply, raised a hand, and bowed slightly.
Jing You said: "Follow me."
The limping Daoist followed Jing You into the Cave Mansion, then took the right-hand path, stepping on smooth stone slabs for dozens of steps, seeing a jade stairs upward, ascending over a hundred steps, entering a Stone Mansion three zhang square, embedded with Bright Pearls on the walls, illuminating the room brilliantly, on the Stone Platform sat a graceful and imposing young Daoist, with eyes like a Cold Pond, deep and unfathomable, Song Chuyun stood beside him, appearing very respectful.
Song Chuyun, seeing him arrive, bowed to the seated Daoist and said: "True Master, this is Daoist Tang Jin."
Zhang Yan glanced over, nodded, and smiled: "Daoist Tang, according to Daoist Song, you had a cultivator deceive Wei Shuling and others away, did they have any suspicions about you at the time?"
The limping Daoist knew it was necessary to explain clearly here, he stepped forward and replied respectfully: "True Master Zhang, the man’s original name is Zou Xiao, originally a Zhongtai elder, due to a chance encounter, I managed to capture him, using a secret technique to take over his consciousness, usually using him to secretly acquire some cultivation external objects within the immortal city. Among Wei Shuling’s group, there must be someone who recognized his identity, thus it was successfully deceived."
Zhang Yan slightly nodded, accepting this explanation, then asked: "Since this person is still alive, where is he now?"
The limping Daoist replied seriously: "I did not dare to bring him here without notifying True Master, before arriving, I instructed him to return to his hiding place."
He exercised caution, after all, Zou Xiao was a Zhongtai elder, involved widely, if this matter was leaked, it would surely bring Zhongtai’s retaliation.
Although he roams alone, he is not afraid, but he is unsure about Zhang Yan’s attitude, and bringing him rashly might lead to an immediate execution and reporting to Zhongtai.
He firmly decided that if Zhang Yan expressed interest in this matter, he must find a way to leave.
Zhang Yan seemed to perceive his thoughts, smiled, did not press further, and said: "Thank you for Daoist Tang’s assistance this time, Jing You, find a suitable Cave Mansion to accommodate the two."
The limping Daoist knew that from just one meeting, the other party might not trust him, but once Wei Shuling arrives, there will be an opportunity to prove himself, after bowing politely, departed with Song Chuyun.
Wei Daoist’s group flew over from the sea, embarking by day, resting by night, passing by the immortal city where Zhongtai is located, all avoided from afar, after ten days of travel, Divine House Mountain was already in sight.
Zeng Conglun said: "In two or three days at most, we will be entering the mountain."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted, the tunneling speed increased slightly, but after traveling for a little over an hour, a thick fog suddenly arose over the sea, surrounding in a blur of whiteness.
Elder Xing was the first to sense something wrong, with their eyesight, unable to penetrate the fog, causing his expression to turn serious, saying: "Everyone be cautious,"
At this moment, everyone’s body stiffened, movement difficult, as if shackles were placed on them, the disciples under the sect, blushing and unable to move at all, Wei Daoist’s face turned pale and exclaimed: "Bound Heaven and Earth?"
