Chapter 139 The Real Person Asks, Yun He Disappears
After Wu Yi and the other two entered the Dide Temple, since they were new faces, a Taoist boy soon appeared and asked Wu Yi and the other two if they were from the side courtyard.
Li Gu nodded and said, "Yes," and then asked, "Where is the Foreign Affairs Office?"
"Master, don't worry. I will lead you there right away." The Taoist boy spoke fluently, and it seemed that he had received many people before.
"Three masters, the Foreign Affairs Office is the real elder of the inner sect. When you arrive, you need to tell them your name, origin, and cultivation." The Taoist boy walked in front and reminded Wu Yi and the other two, fearing that they would not know what to do and cause trouble.
Hearing that the person in charge was Jindan Zhenren, Wu Yi and the other two looked serious and took the Taoist boy's advice to heart.
Although the Taoist boy's cultivation was not high, his leg strength was not weak. Wu Yi and the other two soon arrived outside a magnificent hall. Outside the hall, they could smell the faint burning incense, which made people feel relaxed and happy and calm.
The Taoist boy turned to Wu Yi and the other two and said, "Three masters, this is the place. This is the lecture hall of our Di De Guan. The Immortal is staying here temporarily. Master, please wait here for a moment. I will go and report back."
Wu Yi nodded slightly, and the Taoist boy walked in quickly. Not long after, the Taoist boy came out again and bowed, saying, "The Immortal is calling you in."
The three of them each adjusted their hats and robes, straightened their hair buns, and stepped into the hall.
The interior of the hall is supported by four copper crane pillars, holding down a stone carved black tortoise. In the middle is a brass incense burner, and beside it are many carvings of Xuanmen anecdotes and immortal anecdotes, mostly the contents of immortals preaching. It seems that what the Taoist boy said before is true that this is the lecture hall.
On the three-story pedestal in front, two Taoists sat on the cushions. The one on the left is Ling Zhixu, who comes from the master-disciple lineage, and the one on the right is He Zhijing, who comes from the lineage of aristocratic families.
The Taoist boy had already told Wu Yi and the other two about the news about the two real people, so Wu Yi knew something about it. However, because the Taoist boy's status was too low, he was not qualified to know the relationship between the two real people, so Wu Yi only knew a rough idea about the two real people.
As soon as Wu Yi entered the hall, he sensed the deep and sea-like aura contained in the two real people. This aura was even stronger than Wang Chuchen's. It seemed that they were not newly promoted to the Jindan realm. Wu Yi sensed the approximate cultivation of the two real people at first sight.
Wu Yi was in the lead, Li Gu and Zheng Guangming were on both sides. The three of them stepped forward and saluted: "Outer sect disciple Wu Yi (Li Gu, Zheng Guangming), meet the two real people."
For an outer sect disciple like Wu Yi, calling himself is generally just an outer sect disciple, but if he is a disciple from the eight major orthodox academies, he will more likely call himself an outer sect orthodox academy disciple. The extra two words are not in vain, at least it makes the real people look at him differently.
Ling Zhixu opened his narrowed eyes and asked: "Which Taoist temple did you three come from, and what level have you reached now?"
Before being reminded by the Taoist boy, Wu Yi and the other two had prepared their answers in their minds, and they spoke them out one by one without panic.
Afterwards, Ling Zhixu also asked which real person's flying boat they were riding on, and the hardships they encountered in the first level, and Wu Yi and the other two answered one by one.
"Okay, come here in the summer, there will be other tests at that time, don't forget the time." He Zhijing, who had not spoken for a long time, said, and Wu Yi and the other two nodded in response.
After He Zhijing finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking. Wu Yi and the other two bowed and slowly retreated out of the hall.
"How is it, is it the Wu Yi that Taoist Su Yihong mentioned?" He Zhijing looked at Ling Zhixu and said, Su Yihong was the thin real person who had acted as Wu Yi's caretaker before.
"According to the time, it should be him. Anyway, it's not us two who pushed this kid up the ladder, and there are others who worry about this matter." Ling Zhixu responded indifferently with a blank expression.
He Zhijing raised his lips and said, "I heard that the one who pushed this boy to the heavenly ladder was Hua Jianling, the last disciple of Qingyang Dongtian Lingming Shangzhen. It seems that he intends to win this boy over to the Qingyang Dongtian lineage." Hua Jianling was the arrogant cultivator that Su Yihong invited that day.
Lingming Shangzhen, one of the five great Dongtian Shangzhens of the Yiqi Sect.
Ling Zhixu is a third-generation disciple of Dongyuan Dongtian, one of the five great Dongtians. His cultivation is not necessarily weaker than Hua Jianling, but in terms of seniority, he is one generation lower than Hua Jianling. If you meet him, you have to call him uncle.
Most of the disciples under Dongtian Shangzhen are Yuanying great cultivators. Hua Jianling can become a disciple of Shangzhen with the cultivation of Jindan, which shows his talent.
Although Dongyuan Dongtian and Qingyang Dongtian are both master-disciple lineages, the discord between the two sides is well-known inside and outside the sect, and the disciples below also trip each other up. The lineage of the aristocratic family is deeply entangled because they are each for the interests of the family, but the master-disciple lineage is not much better.
Disputes are not necessarily a bad thing, but they must be controlled to promote normal competition in the sect, rather than wasting the strength of the sect.
What He Zhijing said was nothing more than provoking Ling Zhixu to disrupt Wu Yi's entry into Qingyang Dongtian, but Ling Zhixu was able to cultivate to this point, and his mind was also incomparable to ordinary people. If there was no great interest to drive him, he would definitely not have this intention.
But He Zhijing did not intend to provoke Ling Zhixu to do this with just one word, but just to give him an idea, which might work wonders at a critical moment. For the lineage of the aristocratic family, the more intense the fight between the master and the disciple, the better. It is best to expel the master and the disciple lineage and turn Yiqimen into a sect passed down by the aristocratic family for generations.
After Wu Yi left the main hall, he followed the same route out of the Dide Temple. He felt very uncomfortable there. Everyone, even the strong men, looked at him as if they were city dwellers looking at country natives.
Although he would not get angry if he was looked at twice, it is certainly commendable that disciples born with abundant cultivation resources have achieved extraordinary achievements, but disciples like Wu Yi who started from humble beginnings should have more self-esteem and confidence.
Frightened by Wu Yi's shadow clone, when leaving the mountain gate, the mountain guards did not dare to look at Wu Yi directly, fearing that Wu Yi would blame them.
It was really too weird. Until now, they still did not understand what means Wu Yi used before. Although they had low cultivation, they could comment on the means of cultivators and could see the common means, but they could not see what means Wu Yi used.
The strong man who had been kowtowed before subconsciously softened his knees when he saw Wu Yi appear. It was Wu Yi's spiritual energy that held him up and prevented him from kneeling down. Otherwise, it would not be good to spread that he was tyrannical and cruel in public. After all, the strong man did not offend him at this time.
Seeing Wu Yi leave, the strong men who were guarding the mountain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense hearts also loosened. They finally sent this evil star away.
"By the way." Wu Yi suddenly turned around and spoke.
Many strong men were confused by Wu Yi's sudden question. The strong man closest to Wu Yi smiled and said, "What do you want, Master?"
"Where did the young man who came with me go?" Wu Yi was very curious because he didn't see Yun He. He didn't even give Yun He the reward for showing the way. Logically, Yun He shouldn't leave.
The strong man's heart jumped, his eyes turned, and he said calmly: "You are talking about that young man. A middle-aged man came before and said that this was his son who ran away from home without permission, and took him back."
The strong man said it simply, but Wu Yi understood that this process must be full of toughness. If the middle-aged man was not wrong, it must be Uncle Gu who was with Yun He before.
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Did the boy tell you that he is my follower?"
The wrestler who was talking to Wu Yi smiled and tried to get away with it. Wu Yi did not give him a chance and asked again: "Do you know?"
The wrestler's face was full of bitterness. He knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he had to say: "The boy did say so before, but-"
"Then do you understand what to do now?" Wu Yi asked back, with a calm demeanor and a sword-like gaze. This wrestler should understand what to do.
The wrestler looked at the other wrestlers with pleading eyes, but the other wrestlers lowered their heads one by one and kept silent, clearly wanting to stay out of it.
Feeling the coldness around him getting more and more biting, the wrestler knew that he could not drag it on any longer, and said repeatedly: "I understand, but please let me handle some chores, Master."
Wu Yi let him go and turned away, not looking at how he arranged the next thing. He just wanted to achieve his goal.
Yun He revealed his identity, and Yun He came with him. These strong men would not be unaware of this. If they dared not to take action after knowing this, they would look down on Wu Yi. This was the real reason why Wu Yi was so angry.
"Master, the arrangements are complete. I promise to find the young master within an hour." This address made Wu Yi speechless. I think this strong man regarded Yun He as a younger generation of his family who came out with him to see the world.
Wu Yi turned his head and looked at the gate of Dide Temple. A new face appeared there. I think it was the person who replaced the strong man. Letting others replace his position, whether they would be found out and punished, not to mention whether they would be punished, it would be difficult to repay the favors they spent.
Of course, Wu Yi would not consider these things. At this time, he followed behind this strong man to see how he fulfilled his previous boast.
However, Li Gu and Zheng Guangming did not think much of Yun He, so they were unwilling to go with Wu Yi to find Yun He. Wu Yi let them make their own arrangements, left a two-way sound transmission note, and went alone.
Although this underground city is not as big as the capital of Dayu, as one of the eight major cities outside the Qi Gate, its scale is also extraordinary. It is definitely not an easy thing to find the person you want to find within an hour, especially since the one who boasted is a strong man. Wu Yi was extremely curious.
Next, Wu Yi fully understood what it meant that dragons have dragon paths, snakes have snake paths, Yangguan Road and single-plank bridges are very different, but they can all lead to the destination.
The strong man first came to a busy city. Wu Yi could clearly feel that with the pace of the strong man, many people's eyes turned here.
The strong man casually found a small vendor selling "ancestral treasures". Among all the small vendors, this small vendor was unknown and extremely ordinary.
Seeing that the strong man actually found this person, many people showed regretful eyes.
Could it be that these people have something to ask of this strong man? Wu Yi thought secretly.
"Old He, have you seen this person?" The strong man briefly described the appearance of Uncle Gu.
Old He racked his brains and tried his best to search for his memory of this person, saying: "I have met this person several times. I wonder what the immortal wants?"
The strong man was quite satisfied with this title and nodded: "This person has offended the master." The strong man's eyes drifted towards Wu Yi, "If there is any news, you will definitely get the benefit."
The vendor looked at Wu Yi with a respectful face and laughed. The strong man held Wu Yi high up, and Wu Yi had to bleed now.
Throwing out a small Huandan, Wu Yi said coldly: "Is that enough?"
The vendor smiled and thanked him after receiving the small Huandan. However, the strong man knew that Wu Yi had seen through his trick on him, so he was a little timid and did not dare to look at Wu Yi.
"Master, follow me. I know where this guy's home is." The vendor put away his "heirloom" swiftly and said to Wu Yi.
