After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 649: Li Changsheng? Coming for the Earth Mother Cauldron?
"Is there anyone left to preach to you?" Chen Yang asked.

“There were two monks who talked about the Heart Sutra for a long time, then just patted their butts and left. I’m not saying that their realm is low, and what they said was superficial. It didn’t help me at all…” The Three Corpses Divine Tree was full of complaints.

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then how about I try to ask Master Xuan Jing to explain it to you?"

"Don't."

Upon hearing this, the Three Corpse God Tree immediately refused, "Since they are just going through the motions, then I will go through the motions too. We can just deal with each other, there is no need to take it so seriously."

Let Xuan Jing come?

The Three Corpse Divine Tree knew Xuan Jing. That monk had a bad temper and was very powerful. If he said something wrong and killed it directly, it would be a waste of time and effort.

So, just do it if you can and slack off if you can.

Everyone is just trying to complete the task. You can complain as much as you want. It's relaxing for you, it's relaxing for me, it's relaxing for you, it's relaxing for me, it's relaxing for everyone.

Chen Yang was a little amused, "How is the reading of Xue Chonghua's memory going?"

"Give me a few more days."

"Old Tree, please don't mess with me about this matter."

"Don't worry, it won't affect your work."

"..."

"By the way, the soul I took out of the skull necklace also showed signs of waking up. It should have happened in the past two days."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, not caring too much.

Chen Yang was somewhat interested in the piece of cloth, [Soul Transfer Technique], that he got from Bai Xiuyuan.

Unfortunately, the cloth was badly stained with blood. He had studied it over the past two days but couldn't figure out what was going on. He didn't trust anyone to repair it.

So he thought, perhaps the soul in the skeleton would know some information about this [Soul Transfer Technique].

In any case, let's torture him after he wakes up.

"Boom..."

The heavy rain came in an instant, and the sound of it hitting the roof made it rattle.

The strong wind made the doors and windows swing back and forth, thunder roared outside the window, and a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out and the world fell into darkness.

"Ouch!"

power cut?
Chen Yang went out to check the switch and it seemed that there was really a power outage.

Everything about the village is good except for this one thing: power outages are common during thunderstorms.

There's no telling where the wiring might have been damaged.

It was raining heavily and there was no moon in the sky.

There is no need to practice, so go to sleep.

Chen Yang closed the doors and windows and returned to the bedroom.

"Chen Yang!"

Not long after I lay down, when I was half asleep, a voice rang out.

As the old saying goes, if you hear someone calling your name when you are sleeping at night, don't answer.

You never know what might be tempting you.

If you agree, it's all over.

Chen Yang was dazed and thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

"Chen Yang, Chen Yang..."

The old voices continued to come.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, confirming that it was not an auditory hallucination.

This sound seems to be from the camellia tree?

The mountain seal of Daqishan exudes a bit of warmth.

A spiritual force came to Chen Yang through the spiritual mark in the Shanyu Seal.

"Cha Lao?"

After confirming that it was a camellia tree, Chen Yang turned over and sat up.

I touched the switch at the bedside, but there was no power.

It was still raining and blowing hard outside.

This camellia tree was originally moved back by Chen Yang from Ebei Mountain. Since it was transplanted to Daqishan, the camellia tree stayed in his backyard for a few days and then disappeared.

There was no news after that, and Chen Yang didn't go out of his way to look for it.

Why did it suddenly appear again now?
"it's me."

The camellia tree quickly asked, "Where are you now? Can you come to the mountain..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yang was a little surprised.

It's late at night, it's windy, rainy and thundering. Are you sure you want me to go up the mountain?
Am I crazy?

The camellia tree said, "I'm injured, and the injury is quite serious. Can you come over? I feel like I'm dying."

Its voice was somewhat hurried and weak.

Injuried?

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, quite surprised.

This camellia tree is itself an existence of the realm of creation, and it was also conferred by the orthodox mountain guards in Ebei Mountain. Although Chen Yang brought it to Qishan and changed its affiliation, the fact that it had been certified by the mountain guards could not be changed.

It can completely borrow the energy of the underground veins of Daqishan Mountain to increase its strength. Now, is there anything on this mountain that can hurt it?

"What happened?" Chen Yang asked immediately.

The camellia tree said, "This afternoon, I met an old man in the mountains. When the old man saw that I had entered the state of destiny, he used evil magic to make me obey him. I was no pushover, and I entangled with him for an entire afternoon. I originally wanted to trap him, but I didn't expect that the old man was too strong. He forcefully broke through my tree formation and severely injured my body. I took advantage of the terrain of the mountain to escape and barely escaped his pursuit. Now I am exhausted..."

"Where are you?"

Chen Yang frowned.

Old man? When did an old man appear in this mountain?

Judging from what the camellia tree said, its strength seems to be quite high.

This person must be in the realm of creation, as he was able to break through the camellia tree formation and seriously injure the trees.

"Centipede Ridge, I'm at Centipede Ridge."

The camellia tree responded and then went offline. Chen Yang called it but it didn't respond.

"Boom."

Chen Yang looked out the window and saw a bolt of lightning falling.

It’s raining so hard, you really know how to choose the time.

Helpless, saving the trees is the most important thing.

I found a raincoat, put it on, went out, and hurried up the mountain.

Centipede Ridge.

The road is extremely far. For an ordinary person, it may take more than three hours to get there.

What's more, it's raining so heavily.

Going into the mountains during a thunderstorm is the most dangerous, so Chen Yang took the risk.

It took him more than half an hour to reach the foot of Centipede Ridge after a journey of more than three hours.

It was pitch black all around, with only the sound of pouring rain, the occasional flashes in the sky, the occasional roars of thunder, and the environment was extremely cold.

Although Chen Yang was wearing a raincoat, his body was already soaked.

He tried to communicate with the camellia tree using the Shanyu Seal, but received no response.

Chen Yang sent out his mental power directly, and found the camellia tree in the woods under the cliff on the left.

……

In the mixed woods, a huge camellia tree fell to the ground.

Many of the branches had been cut off, leaving only a few twigs. The trunk was also broken, leaving some bark, which looked shocking.

On its branches and trunk, you can see with the naked eye several red metal wires wrapped around them.

The red line was very sharp and had already broken through the bark and cut into the tree trunk.

"Cha Lao?"

Chen Yang walked over to help, and was almost cut by the red metal wire on the tree.

The camellia tree did not respond.

Its spiritual energy was already very weak, and it was obviously seriously injured.

Chen Yang used the Chixiao Sword to cut the red metal wire on the tree, then took out a bottle of plant growth essence and poured it on the roots.

Straighten the broken and fallen tree trunk. As the energy of the plant growth essence is absorbed by the tree roots, the cells in the tree trunk grow rapidly.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Chen Yang used five or six bottles of [Plant Growth Essence] in succession. The wounds of the camellia tree gradually healed, and new buds grew on the broken branches.

"Ouch……"

The camellia tree shook its newly grown branches and said, "It's finally alive."

Just now, it really thought it was going to die.

Fortunately, Chen Yang came.

At this moment, the camellia tree felt like crying.

"Cha Lao, what's going on?"

Qishan is regarded as Chen Yang's back garden. It is impossible for Chen Yang to allow anything beyond his control in his back garden.

"Ah!" The camellia tree sighed and told the whole story. "Yesterday at noon, I came up from Longtuocao. When I was at Manglongding, I saw someone making a fire and cooking. I was curious, so I went over. It turned out to be two old men..."

"I have concealed my presence very well, but I still was discovered by one of the old men in white clothes. That old man is very powerful and injured me in one go."

"I don't know what kind of line he used, but when he wrapped it around me, I felt like I was carrying a huge weight, and I couldn't fight him at all. He said he liked spiritual plants, like camellias, and wanted me to submit to him and let him drive me. I refused, so he cut off my branches and chopped down my trunk..."

"I took advantage of his unpreparedness and hurriedly fled into the forest, moving the tree formation to block him, hoping to trap them. But the old man was too powerful, and the tree formation couldn't trap him for long. He chased me all the way..."

"I hid from place to place all the way until the night, when it was thundering and raining, and I finally managed to shake him off. I used my last bit of strength to contact you..."

……

In the end, the camellia tree was left with only fear.

Chen Yang frowned when he heard this.

He picked up the red metal wire on the ground and took a look. It was faintly stained with blood, which gave people a feeling of discomfort.

"Do you know where those two are now?"

At this time, it was raining heavily and the conditions in the mountains were extremely harsh. However, after the incident with the camellia tree, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well tonight unless he found the two people.

"You, you don't want to take pictures of them, do you? Those two are very powerful!"

The camellia tree was still in shock. Although it was angry, it didn't want Chen Yang to take risks.

"Humph, beating a dog still requires..."

Chen Yang snorted, and when he was halfway through his sentence, he realized something was wrong, so he quickly stopped and said sorry, "Cha Lao, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that if you dare to cause trouble on Qishan, you must pay the price..."

The camellia tree didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still said, "It's thundering and raining at the same time, it's too dangerous. Why don't we wait until the rain stops..."

"When the rain stops, the daylilies will be cold."

Chen Yang shook his head.

You have to strike while the iron is hot. How can you let others sleep peacefully beside your bed? At least he has to find out who the person is. If the other party is hostile, he must find a way to get rid of him.

The camellia tree was helpless and said, "It should be over at the Snake King Temple."

Snake King Temple?

"Let's go find a place for you."

Chen Yang is not a fool or a rookie. When the enemy is unknown, he still needs to ask for help.

He directly used the Shanyu Seal to contact the Eight-Winged Centipede. When it came to fighting, the Eight-Winged Centipede had always been very active.

As for his great uncle, he is old and Chen Yang didn't want him to go out in such heavy rain.

With the eight-winged centipede here, that's enough.

After contacting Old Wu, Chen Yang passed through the Feng'er Cave cleanly and neatly and headed towards the Snake King Temple.

……

-

Snake King Temple.

The dilapidated temple had long since collapsed and became a ruin. After a spring, the ruins were covered with weeds.

Chen Yang turned on the radar along the way and monitored everything around him in real time.

The detection range of his radar now has a radius of 160 meters. Within this distance, even if a strong man in the Daozhen realm suddenly appears and attacks him, he can react in time.

Chen Yang did not find anyone around the ruined temple.

The temple has collapsed. It's raining so heavily. A normal person would definitely find a place to take shelter. It's impossible for them to get wet here.

Walking into the ruins, I saw a hole dug in the ruins.

Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly.

The location of this cave is exactly where he and Qinzhou dug out the Earth Mother Cauldron.

After they dug out the Earth Mother Cauldron, they filled the hole back up.

Now, this hole has been dug up again.

Looking at these traces of excavation, they are quite fresh.

"Was this cave there in the afternoon?" Chen Yang asked the camellia tree.

Under the cover of night, the camellia tree moved to the edge of the cave. "I was so busy running for my life that I didn't notice it. But when I passed by here five or six days ago, there was no such cave."

Chen Yang's eyebrows were squeezed together.

Thunder flashed in the sky from time to time, and raindrops hit his raincoat, making crackling sounds.

The soil is very fresh, most likely dug by the two people inside the camellia tree's mouth.

So, these two people are here for the [Earth Mother Cauldron]?
Who would know that there is the Earth Mother Cauldron under the Snake King Temple?
You know, even back then, this was an absolute secret.

Thinking of this, a name suddenly flashed through Chen Yang's mind.

Li Changsheng?
No way? That old guy, would he come here?
He finally escaped from the predicament. Shouldn't he be taken to Raojiang by the people of the Gu God Cult?

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Yang felt that it was not impossible.

Chen Yang has three suspicions.

First, Li Changsheng was one of the Six Friends of Longtan and had contact with Master Pang in the past. It was very likely that he knew that the Earth Mother Cauldron was buried here.

Secondly, the Li family of Jianmen is proficient in the art of nurturing and controlling spiritual plants. Therefore, when he saw the camellia tree, a spiritual plant in the realm of creation, he was so nervous and took action directly.

Thirdly, the ability of the Earth Mother Cauldron. Li Changsheng went in to refine the Blood Pill, and the Earth Mother Cauldron was the magical object used to refine the Blood Pill. It was a perfect match for him.

……

Chen Yang shuddered all over, the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

This old guy is most likely here for the Earth Mother Cauldron.

Now, where would he go if he didn't find anything?

With such heavy rain, did he go down the mountain directly, or did he stay somewhere in the mountains?

After a brief thought in his mind, Chen Yang opened the insect seed bag and released about a hundred A-level bone-eating beetles.

Although the intelligence of bone-eating beetles is not high, A-level bone-eating beetles still have basic intelligence and can be driven by general commands only through language.

try to find!
Following Chen Yang's order, the group of bone-eating beetles immediately scattered and flew in all directions under the cover of thunder and rain.

……

Chen Yang waited there.

After waiting for about half an hour, the groups of bone-eating beetles flew back one after another.

Several of them reported seeing fire on the top of Manglong Peak.

Chen Yang was afraid of alerting the other party, so he just let the swarm of insects search and did not let them get close. Therefore, when they saw the fire, they flew back and did not see the specific situation clearly.

In the deep mountains and old forests, late at night, if there is a fire, there must be someone there.

They probably wanted to return down the mountain the same way they came, but because it was raining so heavily, they took a temporary rest at Manglong Peak.

Now that he had found the person, Chen Yang was no longer in a hurry.

Let’s talk about it when the centipede gets older.

Anyway, they couldn't leave in such heavy rain.

……

-

Manglongding.

There is a platform halfway up the mountain. Here, Chen Yang had rested several times during his previous trips into the mountain.

The platform is sunken next to the cliff, forming a large space that is windproof and rainproof, making it a natural shelter.

Chen Yang had stored some dry firewood here before, and now it's available to others.

It was raining and storming outside, but the bonfire was burning quietly.

Next to the fire, there were two old men sitting.

A man was wearing white clothes and had short hair. He had shackles on his hands and feet, but the chain had been broken in the middle. He was dragging a half-meter-long iron chain as thick as a hemp rope, which did not affect his movements.

At this time, the old man in white was sitting cross-legged with a very cold expression on his face.

The other old man was wearing a grey suit and had his hair tied in a braid behind his head.

He was holding a stick in his hand, fiddling with the firewood in the fire. His wet clothes had already been dried by the fire.

"It doesn't matter if we haven't found it. So many years have passed. I'm afraid he had been poached long ago. The situation is very tense now. You'd better listen to me and follow me back to Raojiang. Our leader appreciates you very much. Once you join the sect, you will take over the position of deputy leader. This is unprecedented..." The old man in gray said slowly.

The old man in white looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, without paying any attention.

The grey-robed old man continued, "It's just a tripod. There are countless treasures in my sect. When you arrive at the sect, won't you be able to choose whatever you want?"

"What do you know?"

At this time, the old man in white finally opened his eyes. His voice was old and hoarse. "What treasure can compare with the Earth Mother Cauldron? This treasure is of great benefit to my cultivation. It cannot be replaced by any other treasure. If I can't find the Earth Mother Cauldron, I don't need the position of deputy leader..."

When Yuan Tong heard this, his face twitched slightly.

This rescue operation against Li Changsheng can be said to be flawless. However, what he did not expect was that although the person was rescued, the other party did not want to go with him.

Even though he took out the token given by the leader, this person remained indifferent and insisted on coming to Lingjiang to look for the Earth Mother Cauldron.

Yuan Tong also knew that the Earth Mother Cauldron was once the treasure of the Fire Dragon Village in Raojiang. However, there were so many treasures of this level in Raojiang that there was no need to miss this one. He didn't understand why this man was so stubborn.

Unfortunately, this person is extremely powerful, so it is impossible for him to take the person away by force.

There was no choice but for him to follow.

Who would have thought that it would be in vain.

"Maybe you remembered the wrong location?" Yuan Tong asked reluctantly.

The old man in white shook his head. "Impossible. Sister Ping wouldn't lie to me. If she said the thing is here, then it must be here. That place has obviously been dug up..."

"But where can I find it now?"

Yuan Tongdao said, "Brother Li, go back to Raojiang. When you take over the position of deputy leader, you can mobilize the disciples to help you find it. It will definitely be better than the two of us bumping into each other here."
