Chapter 72: Brother, have you also been blackmailed?

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sky is as blue as a mirror.

A auspicious cloud floated slowly above the sea of ​​clouds, drifting towards the northeast at a leisurely pace.

Taoist Manjusri stood on the clouds, wearing a loose, pure white robe. He had a delicate and handsome face, and his black hair was neatly tied into a bun and pinned with a jade hairpin. He looked like an immortal, otherworldly and otherworldly.

At this moment, he was reviewing in his mind everything he had seen at Youhun Pass last night, and he became even more curious about the cultivator named Yang Ling.

The most puzzling thing was that before he saw Yang Ling, he had not even noticed the existence of this person!
In his spiritual perception, the other party seemed to be invisible.

Generally speaking, only the opponent's level of Taoism is far higher than his, and he can voluntarily conceal his aura, making it impossible for his spiritual sense to detect his existence.

In addition to this, there is another situation, that is, the other party has a secret treasure that can conceal his aura, and the grade is very high, so high that even a Taiyi Jinxian like him cannot see through it!

Whatever the case, it was worthy of his attention.

What's more, the other party also displayed a magical power as strong and masculine as the true fire of the sun, as well as the Sutra of Saving People that only the orthodox descendants of the Xuanmen Sect know...

All these doubts combined made Taoist Manjusri more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and he felt that Yang Ling's origins were extraordinary!
"Could it be... that he is a disciple of Jiejiao?"

Taoist Manjusri murmured to himself.

Among the three Xuanmen religions, Jiejiao is the most numerous and powerful, with so many disciples that they themselves cannot even recognize each other.

It would not be surprising if a genius suddenly emerged one day.

Taoist Manjusri shook his head.

Whether Yang Ling is a disciple of Jiejiao or not is none of his business. He just wants to gain the trust of Li Jing and his wife so that he can successfully accept their child as his disciple in the near future.

This is the most important thing right now and cannot be delayed because of other things.

The auspicious cloud accelerated and soon passed Chentang Pass and arrived at Chaoyang Valley, located north of Chongcheng.

Although Chaoyang Valley has the word "valley" in its name, it is actually a huge basin surrounded by many mountain ranges.

The endless mountains around it block the severe cold, making the basin like spring all year round. The land is fertile, the spiritual energy is abundant, the products are rich, and the scene is full of vitality everywhere.

As early as in ancient times, the Chaoyang Valley was the territory of the ancestor witch Tianwu. Later, after the demise of the witches and liches, it was occupied by the Beiming water monster.

Afterwards, human practitioners rose rapidly with the support of the three Xuanmen religions, and also came to this place with abundant spiritual energy to establish their own sects.

Today, Chaoyang Valley has become a place where many races live together, including fairies, demons, witches, and humans. They are scheming against each other and the situation is complicated.

As soon as Manjusri Taoist arrived at this place where dragons and snakes mingled, he saw a team of heavenly soldiers and generals searching carefully in the mountains and forests below, but no one knew what they were looking for.

The general in the lead was a burly man with a handsome appearance, wearing golden armor and looking very majestic. With sharp eyes, he directed his heavenly soldiers and generals to search in an orderly manner.

Taoist Manjusri ignored him and went straight to a cave a hundred miles away. He stretched out his hand and flicked it gently, and the restrictions at the cave entrance dissipated like ripples on the water.

He stepped into the cave and saw that it was simply furnished with only a stone platform, a stone table, and two cushions.

In a corner of the cave, Jade Ding Zhenren was concentrating on using his own magical power to infuse Yuan Hong with his spiritual damage.

Seeing the arrival of Manjusri Taoist, Jade Ding Zhenren's expression relaxed. He quickly stood up and bowed to Manjusri Taoist.

"Brother, you are here." Jade Ding Zhenren's voice was a little urgent, "Brother, do you have any elixirs for healing?"

Taoist Manjusri nodded slightly, took out a small bottle of elixir from his sleeve and handed it over, then asked curiously, "Didn't you bring any elixir yourself?"

"Don't mention it..." Jade Ding Zhenren said unhappily, "The elixirs I brought were all stolen by a little thief!" Hearing this, Wenshu Taoist was a little surprised, but seeing the look on Jade Ding Zhenren's face, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Yuan Hong and frowned, "Is this the disciple you accepted? How could he be..."

"Brother, you misunderstood!" Jade Ding Zhenren quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "I just sympathized with his situation and taught him a few tricks."

One move or half a move?
Taoist Manjusri raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much.

At this time, Jade Ding Zhenren had already taken out a crystal clear elixir from the bottle and gently put it into Yuan Hong's mouth.

As the elixir took effect, Yuan Hong's complexion gradually turned from pale to rosy, and soon he opened his eyes brightly.

"Thank you for the rescue!"

Yuan Hong did not stand up either. Instead, he knelt down from his cross-legged sitting position and kowtowed to Jade Ding Zhenren to express his gratitude.

Jade Ding Zhenren said: "You should thank my senior brother, because he sent you the elixir to save you. Otherwise, with your injuries, even if I can help you to warm up your soul, it will take at least several years for you to recover to normal."

Upon hearing that Taoist Manjusri was Jade Ding Zhenren's senior brother, Yuan Hong's eyes lit up and he quickly kowtowed to him to express his gratitude, with an extremely respectful and humble attitude, but he did not dare to call him "Uncle Master".

Then he turned to Yu Ding Zhenren and kowtowed, saying with a face full of shame: "If it weren't for the immortal who taught me the mysterious skills, I would have fallen into the heaven!
I only regret that I didn't listen to the immortal's words at that time, and was deceived by the lackeys of the Emperor of Heaven, and failed to make public the fact that Yao Ji had violated the Heavenly Law! "

Hearing this, Manjusri's eyes changed slightly and he looked at Jade Ding Zhenren curiously.

He didn't understand why his junior brother wanted to get involved in such a family affair of the Emperor of Heaven.

As they were fellow disciples, Jade Ding Zhenren naturally knew what he was thinking, and quickly used the method of transmitting sound through his soul to tell him everything about his previous experience in Guanjiangkou, including the "humiliation" by the great master Xuandu in Yang's mansion.

Who would have thought that after hearing the word "Yang Ling", Wenshu's eyes suddenly became stern, "So Junior Brother is also related to Yang Ling?"

"What?" Jade Ding Zhenren raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Senior Brother... you have also been blackmailed by Yang Ling?"

"Not really." Wenshu Taoist shook his head, "I just let him steal my merit and ruin my plan..."

He told Yu Ding everything he saw at Youhun Pass.

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded, "It's just that the merits were taken away."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Manjusri Taoist actually felt that he seemed a little disappointed.

Yes, just now my junior brother said that his elixir was stolen by a thief. It seems that the thief he mentioned is most likely Yang Ling.

At this time, Jade Ding Zhenren's eyes flickered, and he looked at Manjusri Taoist thoughtfully: "Brother, you just said that the deceased Youhunguan General was a disciple of the Jiejiao Jiulong Island Four Saints? Then why don't we write a letter to inform the Jiulong Island Four Saints of this matter?"

“Junior brother, are you trying to kill someone by borrowing someone else’s knife?” Taoist Manjusri understood the meaning of the string music and frowned, “But the general of Youhun Pass should have died from the backlash of the evil treasure he refined. It doesn’t seem to have much to do with Yang Ling…”

"What does that matter?" Jade Ding Zhenren said indifferently: "Those Jiejiao disciples are so arrogant that they won't care about the details."

"It still won't work." Wenshu Taoist still shook his head and reminded: "Since the three religions were united, Uncle Master has ordered all disciples of Jiejiao to close their caves and recite Huangting silently. I'm afraid that Junior Brother's plan will not work."

"That may not be the case." Jade Ding Zhenren said with a smile: "Brother, have you forgotten Junior Brother Shen Gongbao? He is a close friend of many Jiejiao disciples..."

Taoist Manjusri also laughed.

"I almost forgot that we have such a junior brother."
