Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 197: Overcoming a Difficulty

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mou walked into Luofen Slope and told Lao Yuan Yi his concerns.

He heard from Ji Chengyu, who was on the mission with him at the time, that all monks who entered Shengxian Mountain, from Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul, had to land in front of the north and south mountain gates and undergo a warlock test. No one was exempted.

This was clearly a move against him, and he would definitely be throwing himself into a trap if he went there.

If he dares to resist the order and refuses to go, the experts from Zhuxie Palace will come to invite him and force him to flee.

If you have any questions, you can ask the high priest. Before going to see the high priest, he should talk to Lao Yuan first.

"It should be to test whether the monk has the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven. You can't bring the jade to the sky... I remember that the jade and its owner cannot leave a certain distance, otherwise something will happen."

Yuan Hou pondered and thought, and said: "The high priest suffered from backlash and is now unable to move. You might as well go to Xiaozhu Mountain and have a look."

He handed Chen Mou three thunder beads the size of copper coins and two lightning-shaped jade thunder talismans. He carefully explained the different uses of the five treasures and asked Chen Mou to use Yuan Li to refine them and carry them with him for self-defense.

Chen Mou does not have a custom-made long sword magic weapon yet, so he accepts a one-time treasure made of thunder stone.

When he reappeared, he arrived at the stone castle courtyard in Xiaozhushan.

It was quiet and very clean everywhere. Chen Mou opened the courtyard door and walked out. He saw a priest in sackcloth pushing the high priest with black cloth around his eyes in a wheelchair.

"You are here."

The high priest extended his hand and gestured to enter the courtyard to speak.

Priest Mai moved the wheelchair into the courtyard door, bowed silently, exited and closed the door.

Chen Mou could see the invisible black energy on the high priest's body. A lot of it leaked out, but relatively little returned. The old energy was deep, and he didn't know how long he would have to endure it. He felt a little uncomfortable.

"Several major forces of the demon clan are pressing closer and closer, wanting Yuan Zu to go out to meet. The fortune teller is adding insult to injury. How can he let go of the opportunity to completely crush me? Don't worry, I can still survive for a few more years. This is also the case for all the high priests. Destiny will not lead to a happy ending.”

The high priest seemed to be talking about someone else's affairs, and asked with a smile: "I can't concentrate on making calculations now. You came today, but encountered difficulties? Of course, I may be able to help you with the details."

Chen Mou hesitated for a moment and then briefly told his story.

The high priest thought for a moment and said: "You entrust the Babel Jade to someone you can trust. Don't leave two hundred miles away. You can go in alone to get tested. It won't be a hindrance. Don't delay it too long."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"Within half an hour."

"I understand, please take care of yourself and I'll take my leave first!"

Chen Mou saw the invisible black energy wafting more and more from the high priest's body. He did not dare to stay any longer and left immediately.

At almost noon, Chen Mou and Xu'er went out and flew northwest.

In early winter, the fields and woods are rich in color.

In the evening, he rested in Fangshi on the way. In the afternoon of the next day, he settled in a mortal city south of Shengxian Mountain. Chen Mou placed Xu'er in the guest courtyard, arranged the formations, and asked Xu'er to take good care of the one he left behind. A jade box with a sealing charm affixed to it.

The matter was so important that it was impossible for him to hand over the jade bi to anyone else except Xu'er.

And the jade cannot be stored in the storage bag.

Chen Mou flew as fast as he could to the south gate of Shengxian Mountain, which was fifty miles away. There were monks flying down in twos and threes, chatting and queuing up to wait for the two warlocks to test. They had become accustomed to the new regulations of Shengxian Mountain in the past few years.

After successfully passing the test, Chen Mou walked into the mountain gate and flew towards the high mountain cliffs a hundred miles away.

However, when he followed a group of monks into the Execution Hall, Chen Mou, who was always vigilant, noticed something strange coming from the sky. He didn't know where the mistake was, which seemed to have caused a reaction from the temple spirits.He silently followed the three of them and walked slowly to the innermost counter.

He greeted the bearded Quedelin with his hands, took out the black iron sword card and the new identity card, and handed them to Quedelin.

Que Delin took the black iron sword card and identity card, touched it lightly on the flashing magic weapon in front of him, took out a purple gold evil-killing order, completed the registration with brisk movements, returned it to Chen Mou, and said with a smile: "The palace is out. According to the new regulations, all new evil-killing guards must be tested within six months, so I have no choice but to trouble you to make this trip..."

He suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky above the hall in surprise.

A trace of thunder appeared on the top of the dark palace.

Chen Mou took the token and identity card with a smile on his face, secretly worried, why hasn't he responded yet?
At this moment, a loud thunderclap was suddenly heard outside, causing the ancient palace to buzz.

Everyone in the hall suddenly became confused and hurriedly flew outside.

There are well-informed monks who have heard that there have been several strange things happening in Shengxian Mountain. It seems that some masters have forced their way in and come and go without a trace. The several masters of transformation who are sitting here are helpless, and even Master Cheng cannot figure out who is following them. foot.

Chen Mou followed the crowd and ran very fast. He took a moment to glance above, and saw colorful lights rushing out of the top of the hall.

In front of the cliff ten miles away, another ball of silver lightning suddenly exploded.

The huge power forced several men and women who appeared in the air to not dare to come near. They waved their hands to eliminate the ripples of thunder and spread below. Each of them, as if facing a formidable enemy, formed a three-dimensional formation under the orders of an old man in white robes.

Chen Mou pretended to be surprised and asked through a message: "Brother Que, are there any suppressed monsters that want to break through the restrictions and rush out?"

Que Delin looked serious and waved his hand to signal Chen Mou not to ask any more questions and to step back.

Don't join in the excitement.

Chen Mou hurriedly followed many monks to fly back south. He saw a colorful lightning flashing around the cliff, swallowing up the exploded fragments of lightning. The palace spirit no longer paid attention to him, and he was relieved in his heart.

In order to be sure, he went to the Thunder Cave in advance yesterday, calculated the time when he would arrive at the Evil Execution Hall, and asked Jiang Shenshi to sing an empty city plan with him.

Jiang Shenshi consumes some thunder pool energy, which can cause quite a stir outside.

It was a near miss and helped him get through a difficult time.

He would come to this place as little as possible from now on.

When the commotion near the cliff subsided, Chen Mou did not return to the Zhuxie Hall. As a few monks who were talking about it left, they went to the guest house of Mortal City and took back the box containing the jade. Chen Mou was completely relieved.

He accompanied Xu'er for a walk outside, and spent more than a month taking a detour back to the sect.

On this day, Chen Mou walked out of the secret room in the apse and walked on the top of the mountain facing the rising sun.

Shen Xing walked out of the corner corridor, followed his footsteps, and said with a smile: "Master, we already have the whereabouts of the Thunder Soul Jade. The other party offered a high price and said there will be no counter-offer." He handed the master a list.

Chen Mou took it and saw that it was really a lion's mouth. He wrote three fourth-grade materials and asked for a thousand-year-old medicinal plant.

"Which force is it?"

"Dongchui Continent, I don't know which one it is."

"If you delay for two days, I will ask questions before I can give an answer."

"clear."
