Chapter 227 Who the hell are you?!
Baihe Mountain Villa.
Since the incident involving external evil spirits a few months ago, Baihe Manor's reputation has been thrust into the spotlight.
However, precisely because of this, the number of people coming to White Crane Manor every day has not decreased but increased, all wanting to see the traces left by the battle between Li Baozheng, the leader of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and the Seven Absolutes Palace's outer demons.
Legend has it that Li Baozheng was self-taught, mastering the mysteries of the Yuanqiao realm with only half of the Yuanqiao cultivation method, thus entering the Yuanqiao realm. His talent was unparalleled throughout history.
In this era of declining martial arts, such a genius martial artist naturally attracts a lot of attention, and people tirelessly explore the trajectory of his life.
At this moment, a short, sparse-haired old man dressed in tattered clothes followed the crowd toward the gate of White Crane Manor.
Upon seeing this, the guards outside the manor gate quickly stopped him.
"Old man, this is not a place for beggars!"
"That's what the guard said."
Upon hearing this, the old man looked around in confusion and indeed found that everyone else was wearing brocade robes or tight-fitting clothes, making his tattered Taoist robe stand out from the crowd.
"Hehe, I'll just go in and take a look."
The old man said.
"roll!"
Upon seeing this, the guard glared angrily, but just as his expression turned furious, he suddenly froze, standing there dumbfounded.
Upon seeing this, the old man chuckled and followed the surrounding crowd toward the gate.
After he left, the guard shuddered, regained his senses, but his eyes showed a look of confusion.
What just happened? When did I get here?
The guard was puzzled, but couldn't remember, so he could only return to his original position.
The bald old Taoist priest leisurely followed the crowd until they arrived at the White Crane Garden at the very end of the manor.
At this moment, the White Crane Garden has long since returned to its former glory, with white cranes playing in the water and lush greenery.
Many literati and scholars strolled together along the paths outside the oasis, watching the white cranes fly by, drinking hot wine, and occasionally reciting a few lines of poetry, which drew praise from those around them.
Within this oasis, there is a patch of land, several tens of meters in circumference, that is extremely chaotic, filled with ravines and deep pits, completely out of place with its surroundings.
However, a large number of people had gathered around this area, and most of them were martial artists.
"What terrifying internal energy! No wonder it's rumored that Li Baozheng is already a master of the Yuanqiao realm. With my Blood Exchange realm cultivation, I simply cannot produce the same effect."
A burly man with a dark complexion looked at the patterns on the ground in front of him and muttered something under his breath.
"Indeed, Li Baozheng is the nemesis of external evils. If I weren't so old, I would really like to follow him!"
An old man next to him echoed the sentiment.
As everyone pointed at the area in front of them and discussed amongst themselves, they suddenly failed to notice a bald old Taoist priest standing among them with a strange expression on his face.
"Li Baozheng".
The bald old Taoist muttered to himself, then a strange smile appeared on his face.
...
On the other side, Ding Yi, who was meditating in the secret room, suddenly frowned and felt a sense of panic.
"What the hell?"
Although Ding Yi didn't know what had happened, given his current physical condition, he couldn't possibly be experiencing such a problem, which made him somewhat puzzled.
Legend has it that when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can vaguely sense the impending crisis, and Ding Yi had guessed this direction as well.
"Who's watching me now?"
Ding Yi stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"They're targeting Li Baozheng, what does that have to do with me, Ding Yi? I'm running away in three days, even a god would have to follow me and eat my dust."
Ding Yi smiled coldly to himself, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
A day later, Ding Yi received a message from Wang Lin.
They had arrived at Hongliu County, but had not found any of the three large stones.
Although there are many mountains in this area, there is no place where three mountains meet, and the clues suddenly went cold.
However, Wang Lin said that he had already sent people to visit the local villages in hopes of finding some useful clues, and asked the sect leader to wait a little longer.
Ding Yi frowned immediately upon seeing the letter.
He had expected this result, after all, the clues Jiang Mingyue gave were too vague, such as three big rocks. If the system hadn't actually given the lifespan value, Ding Yi would definitely have thought that the old man was trying to trick him.
However, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Ding Yi could only wait for Wang Lin's investigation results. If there was no news after a day, he would have to go to Bazhou with Li Wanyun.
If we could obtain the treasure of the Taixu Sect before taking action, that would be ideal, but if we couldn't, there was nothing we could do.
But early the next morning, Ding Yi received another message from Wang Lin.
"Sect Master, the three large stones have been found!"
Upon seeing the line of text on the letter, Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Wang Lin is indeed efficient. This secret treasure of the Taixu Sect is destined to be mine!"
Thinking of this, Ding Yi strode into Jiang Mingyue's courtyard and said to her:
"Mingyue, come on, I've found the place with three big rocks!"
Jiang Mingyue was still lying on the ground sunbathing, her limbs spread out in a starfish shape. Upon hearing Ding Yi's words, she immediately sat up and said:
"Song Shu, you remembered? Come on, come on, I can't wait to get my headache cured!"
Ding Yi looked at the old man in front of him, then smiled and nodded, saying:
"Mingyue, if you really regain your memories, will you kill me?"
"Song Shu, what are you saying? We're best friends, why would I kill you?!"
The old man was a little angry and said loudly.
"Nothing, let's go!"
Ding Yi smiled upon hearing this, and then his body slowly sank into the ground.
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately plunged into the ground and followed Ding Yi, rushing towards Hongliu County.
The speed of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through earth) is astonishing. It took Wang Lin and the others a day and a night to reach the place, but Ding Yi arrived with Jiang Mingyue just a few hours later.
It must be said that this perfect Yuanqiao Realm cultivation level can provide a continuous source of essence for earth escape, so Ding Yi no longer needs to come out to recover from time to time, which is much faster than the previous long-distance travel.
When the two arrived at a village in Hongliu County, Ding Yi saw Wang Lin and the others waiting there.
"Master!!"
Wang Lin was greatly surprised to see Ding Yi suddenly walk into the village, but he still ran over quickly.
Where is the place?
Ding Yi waved his hand and, without wasting any words, asked directly.
"Sect Leader, I asked the people in this village and finally got a clue."
Wang Lin chuckled and continued:
"In this Hongliu County, although there is no place where three mountains meet, there is a Leishan Mountain."
"Leishan?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was going on.
Good grief, you're trying to play word games with me, aren't you?!
"lead the way."
Ding Yi narrowed his eyes and then spoke.
"Yes, Sect Master, come with me."
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he led Ding Yi toward the back of the village, while Jiang Mingyue followed closely behind Ding Yi, looking on with curiosity.
...
Meanwhile, in Qingfeng County, Li Baozheng was sitting at a stall drinking hot tea when he suddenly turned around and was startled.
"You son of a bitch, where did this lousy Taoist priest come from? You scared the hell out of me!"
Li Baozheng burst into curses, only to find a bald old Taoist priest had appeared beside him at some point and was now staring at him.
"You're still looking?! You son of a bitch, do you even know who I am? Li Baozheng!! Believe me or not, I'll chop you up!!"
Seeing that the bald old Taoist priest didn't react, Li Baozheng became furious and stood up, shouting.
