The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 279 Goodbye Ancestor Linghu!

Huanglong Mountain, the meeting hall.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, if you hadn't found out, I would have been killed by him!" The bald-browed man said with a frightened look on his face after watching the video of Zhou Xun.

"How do you say that?" Zhou Xun looked at him doubtfully.

Seeing this, the bald-browed man smiled bitterly, took out a transmission talisman from his storage bag, and handed it to Zhou Xun.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please take a look!"

Zhou Xun took the transmission note and put it to his ear to listen.

It turned out that Gu Shuangpu actually made an appointment with the bald-browed man when he was ugly, saying that he had important secrets to share.

"This person actually wants to leave my place and go to your fellow Taoist again!"

"That's right. If fellow Taoist hadn't found out about this, I don't think he would have been able to avoid his sneak attack!" The bald-browed man said with a look of resentment.

"Gu Shuangpu Yuanying is already here, and will be handed over to Daoist Xu for interrogation. By the way, remember to use the photo stone to record the interrogation process!"

Zhou Xun pointed at Gu Shuangpu's imprisoned Nascent Soul and said.

"Although this person is a spy of the Mulan people, he is still an elder of the Yuling Sect after all. Some things must be carefully explained to others in the alliance. Otherwise, there may be some trouble in the future." The bald-browed man glanced at Gu Shuangpu's Nascent Soul. , sighed, then turned his head and said solemnly to Zhou Xun and the other two. "

The old man surnamed Hu had the same concerns as the big man, and he frowned after hearing this.

"Actually, although this matter is a bit troublesome, we don't need to worry too much." Zhou Xun suddenly smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Oh! What does Zhou Daoyou mean?" the bald-browed man asked doubtfully.

When the old man surnamed Hu heard this, he also looked at Zhou Xun with surprise.

"Tiannan has mixed up with Mulan as a spy. It's impossible for the leader of your alliance not to know about it. He must have caught some before. It's just that such a high-level monk is also a spy, so it's hard to explain it to the Yuling Sect.

"But the three of us belong to different forces. Most people won't believe that there are monks who deliberately framed the Yulingzong family. Besides, I think the Yulingzong itself might have already had some interest in this Elder Gu. What suspicion?"

"After all, after all these years, this fellow Taoist Gu has never revealed any flaws. I don't believe it. Besides, even if I didn't have any suspicion before, I can still find something fishy if I reconsider his past deeds now." Zhou Xun He touched his chin and said calmly.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you know this person's storage bag?" the bald-browed man said hesitantly.

"Storage bag, how dare this person sneak up on me. The storage bag is naturally my trophy," Zhou Xun waved his hand. He had already checked this person's storage bag.

There were no valuable treasures. The only ones that interested Zhou Xun were a few jade slips that recorded Yuling Sect's technique of cultivating monsters and spiritual insects.

Zhou Xun decided to take it back to Chu Peng and let him study it carefully to see if he could find the secret technique to promote the advancement of his spiritual beasts.

Next, Zhou Xun stayed in Huanglong Mountain for half a month without any accidents.

The Mulan people seemed to have forgotten this place and had never been there before.

On this day, a pill-forming monk suddenly came to Huanglong Mountain and wanted to see Zhou Xun by name.

This person is none other than Li Huayuan’s third disciple Liu Jing.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Zhou!" When Liu Jing saw Zhou Xun, he immediately bowed and saluted.

Zhou Xun was also surprised to see Liu Jing here, so he asked:
"Why are you here?"

"Disciple, under the order of Patriarch Linghu, came to inform our uncle and fellow Taoists in Huanglong Mountain to evacuate!" Liu Jing bowed and said.

"Evacuation, what happened?" Zhou Xun looked solemn when he heard the news.

Could it be that all the strongholds on the Yu State's front line had been breached? Liu Jing's words soon confirmed his suspicion. "The three great masters of the Mulan people personally participated in the attack on the stronghold. The front lines were unable to be defended and have now retreated to Tiantian City!"

Retreating to Tiantian City seems to be better than in the original work. At this time in the original work, the entire Yu Kingdom has been lost, and Tiannan's defense line has retreated to the Beiliang Kingdom area.

In the original work, the border battle between Tiannan and the Mulan people took place in the Northern Liang Kingdom.

Then, Zhou Xun informed the bald-browed man and the old man named Hu with the news of the retreat.

Soon, all the monks in Huanglong Mountain learned the news.

Half a day later, all the monks had completed repairs.

"Is this formation, Fellow Daoist Zhou, really going to be destroyed?" The bald-browed man has been stationed here for several years. Seeing that the formation that has made great achievements is about to be destroyed like this, he can't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart.

"Now Huanglong Mountain is under the control of the Mulan people. If we stay, it will become an obstacle for us to counterattack in the future!" Zhou Xun explained.

The bald-browed man also knew this. He let out a long sigh, took out the prohibition token, and fired a spell. The entire magic circle exploded and disappeared.

A few days later, Zhou Xun and others returned to Tiantian City.

After returning to the city, the first thing Zhou Xun did was to pay homage to Ancestor Linghu.

Ancestor Linghu's current residence is not far from Zhou Xun's attic. Now this attic is all allocated to the monks of the Tiandao Alliance.

Arriving at Ancestor Linghu's attic, before Zhou Xun could play the transmission talisman, the door to the attic opened, and a middle-aged man walked out. He seemed to be discussing something with his master.

This man was dressed in a gray robe, with a strange appearance and broad bones. His cultivation level was much stronger than that of ordinary monks in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He seemed to have reached the peak of the middle stage and was only one step away from entering the late stage.

"Master, fellow Taoist Long Han!" Zhou Xun bowed his hands and saluted.

The middle-aged man returned the favor and then left.

Zhou Xun followed his master into the attic and sat down in the living room.

"When did Master come back? Have you mined enough spiritual stones?" Zhou Xun asked with concern as soon as he sat down.

Ancestor Linghu gently stroked his beard with his left hand, smiled, and said:

"Tuerqi discovered that the spiritual stone mine was really extraordinary. During the decades he was stationed there, he obtained two more top-level fire attribute spiritual stones!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly congratulated:
"Congratulations, Master, there is hope for the great road!"

Ancestor Linghu nodded repeatedly and seemed to have a lot of confidence in his future.Then he looked at Zhou Xun with satisfaction:

"You're not bad either. Now the whole Tiantian City is spreading the news that you killed two Mulan Yuanying magicians in a row for dozens of seconds!"

"Master, you are overly praised!" Zhou Xun said modestly.

"It's just a good time for you to come back this time. Tomorrow our four great monks from Tiannan will hold a gathering to discuss how to deal with the Mulan people. You can go with us as our master!" Ancestor Linghu said.

It has been 200 years since Zhou Xun came to this world, and he has never seen the other three great monks, so he is naturally very curious.

So he readily agreed.

Early on the next morning, Zhou Xun set out from his station and followed Ancestor Linghu to the central area. Accompanying him were many Nascent Soul elders from the Tiandao Alliance.

When they arrived at the stone hall, they saw three people already waiting there. They were the other three great monks from Tiannan.
