My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 409: A dangerous place surrounded by dangers

Yin Li was secretly delighted and quickly explained.

"Sir, you don't know that this Jinglan Territory has only had one mortal dynasty throughout the ages, called "Lan". The Lan Dynasty was established for 300 years, and the foundation of its national destiny is "water nourishing all directions". The 72 water systems in the territory are crisscrossed like veins."

The "central waters" Qianyu River runs across the north and south. Legend has it that an ancient mythical bird died here and its feathers turned into a river, so the river was named "Qianyu". There are silver fish with fine scales in the river, and their dorsal fins are like feather patterns. When the fish tails sway, it seems that light and shadows are fluttering, which is really a unique sight.

The river is 900 miles long, and its tributaries spread out like feather branches, forming a water network wonder of "hundreds of ports and thousands of bays"

"The source of Qianyu River, the "Suiyu Snow Mountain" at the northwest end is even more beautiful. The melting snow has formed a mirror lake with white pebbles on the bottom. When the sun shines, the lake surface sparkles like jade chips on the ground."

Yin Li talked endlessly about the landscapes of various places, which made Jiang Yan quite interested. Seeing this, Yin Li was even more delighted, and tried hard to search his mind for detailed pictures of various places.

After a long time, Jiang Yan was able to understand the size of Jinglan Territory without leaving his home, and had a certain understanding of the local features.

During this time, Jiang Yan occasionally showed no surprise, and gave examples of similar scenic spots in other regions. Unexpectedly, Yin Li also gave generous comments on it and knew it in great detail.

Jiang Yan nodded, feeling a little depressed.

Yin Li knew other areas too well. He knew all the famous Jiangchuan landforms and inhabitants, and even knew some of the hidden places of small sects.

Finally, Jiang Yan raised his hand to interrupt Yin Li who was in high spirits.

"You mentioned so many mortal kingdoms, so where are the immortal sects? When you have traveled enough, you can come and visit one or two. By the way, I still don't know where your Huayinfang is."

"Can you tell me something?"

Yin Li was waiting for this sentence and was about to tell it, but at this moment, his master's words inexplicably rang in his mind: "My disciple, remember, don't tell others about the sect's affairs, or you may cause trouble!"

He opened his mouth to speak, but because of hesitation in his heart he did not say it immediately, and instead changed the subject.

"Well... our sect is too small to even be called a sect. My master was afraid of getting into danger, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yan nodded in understanding but did not pursue the matter any further, showing no interest.

But in his heart, he secretly thought: "A stupid disciple like Yin Li would not reveal anything. No matter whether I hinted or induced her, she did not reveal a single word, not even a hint."

"I guess even she herself doesn't know what restrictions she's been given. It seems like we can't mention it proactively in the future. We have to ask her to invite us in person."

Yin Li seemed to feel a little guilty. Jiang Yan told her all about his teachings, but she was unwilling to tell him even the sect's information and address.

From then on, he answered almost every question Jiang Yan asked.

"I remember that at the Lingxiang Conference of the Chengfeng Sword Sect in Lingxiang Territory, almost all the major sects in the various domains sent people to attend, but I didn't see any major sects from Jinglan Territory coming. Do you know what happened?"

Yin Li was not puzzled as to why Jiang Yan knew this. After all, anyone could attend the Lingxiang Conference, and it was the most attractive place for independent cultivators from all over the world.

Although this conference was held much earlier than in the past, it did not prevent individual practitioners from joining in the fun.

It's normal for Jiang Yan, a casual cultivator, to join in the fun, right? And it's even more reasonable to learn from the Lingxiang Conference that no big sect members from Jinglan Territory will come, right?

As for why he appeared in Jinglan Territory now, it is only logical and reasonable for him to come to Jinglan Territory after watching the lively Lingxiang Conference and traveling around.

"There is only one major sect in Jinglan Domain, and that is the Qianyu Sect named after the Qianyu River. As far as I know, the Qianyu Sect has only risen in the past one or two hundred years. Because its strength is weaker than other domains and its foundation is insufficient, it often tries to please other major sects."

"Logically speaking, they shouldn't miss this opportunity to make friends at the Spiritual Township Conference, but for some reason, the Qianyu Sect suddenly started to recall its disciples a few years ago, and has since closed its doors and stopped going out."

"There was no news to the public, except that they refined a magical treasure, and no other news."

Jiang Yan became interested: "Where is the Qianyu Sect located?"

"The location of Qianyu Sect is right at the source of the Qianyu River I just mentioned, on the top of the Broken Jade Snow Mountain at the northwest end."

"Broken Jade Snow Mountain... I might as well visit it if I have the chance."

Jiang Yan whispered, and Yin Li shook his head repeatedly.

"You can't visit them. They have closed their doors to visitors. No one is allowed to step into Shattered Jade Snow Mountain. The formation connecting the earth veins has activated the sect protection formation. No cultivators within a thousand miles are allowed to enter."

"Even the Mirror Lake area is covered by the formation. What a pity for that area."

Jiang Yan had been yearning for Snow Mountain Mirror Lake when he heard about it just now, but now that he heard that it was blocked, he felt a little regretful:

"It's a pity indeed."

Seeing Jiang Yan's regretful and yearning expression, Yin Li felt even more guilty. He wanted to recruit people but didn't reveal the address of his own sect. He recommended the landscape and customs of Jinglan Territory, but it was a semi-closed state.

I guess Jiang Yan is very disappointed in her now. He was so sincere to her but she was hiding things from him and avoided talking about it.

But she really wanted to invite Jiang Yan to visit Huayinfang, but for some reason, every time she was about to say it, she would give up due to various psychological hesitations.

Under this self-contradiction, Yin Li's face showed a bit of awkwardness. On the one hand, she was cheerful and lively, but on the other hand, she was timid as if she was afraid of something and tried her best to stop it.

This is very wrong.

Jiang Yan observed from the side and felt that this was schizophrenia, but also like some kind of protection mechanism?

If we let her continue, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

"We need to interrupt her state."

At this moment, Shen Ming's voice entered Jiang Yan's mind.

"Master, the stage has been set up, the actors can take their positions..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly: "You've come just in time, lead her over now, and then we'll act accordingly."

"Oh, by the way, remember not to use too much force, and use more covert means. It would be best to reveal some information about the Yuan Lian Sect to her and see how the people behind her react."

"Okay~ I will definitely be gentle with my junior sister!"

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. It's over. I've gotten used to Shen Ming's aura. I was so busy preaching that I subconsciously ignored the fact that Shen Ming's divine consciousness was still on me!

Doesn't that mean Shen Ming knew everything about Yin Li calling him teacher just now!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan’s first thought was not about his own death, but about Yin Li’s death.

He raised his hand and blew out a stream of water vapor, interrupting Yin Li's gradually schizophrenic state, and said in a natural tone:

"When you were out investigating a case, did your master give you any life-saving magic weapon or something like that?"

Yin Li felt dizzy, and though she felt a little strange, she still looked up and said, "No, Master just asked me to investigate the clues, and I will go back immediately if I find anything, so the whole process will not be dangerous. Besides, my physique can completely ensure that I can hide in the crowd without being discovered."

"So why do you need those things?"

Jiang Yan looked at Yin Li with some pity, which made her even more confused.

"You...be careful..."

Jiang Yan didn't want to give her any protective treasure or anything like that, he just reminded her to be careful.

Yin Li nodded heavily, but at this moment she suddenly stood up and looked across the yard towards somewhere.

"Although it was fleeting, it was indeed Elder Lin's aura fluctuation! We found the clue to Elder Lin!"

Thinking of this, she was about to get up and leave, but she stopped as soon as she stood up, and returned to Jiang Yan with some entanglement and hesitation.

"Well... I'm about to complete my mission. After completing it, I will go back. Mr. Jiang... will you... leave? I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future... I don't have any communication equipment..."

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head, "Silly child, it's still uncertain whether you can survive, so don't worry about it."

"Don't worry, you've taken the trouble to introduce so many places. I will naturally accept your kindness and stay in Jinglan Domain for a while longer. As long as you want, we will meet again."

"Yes! Sir! Yin Li thanks you sir, Yin Li will definitely come to see you!"

After saying this, colorful light appeared around Yin Li's body and she suddenly disappeared in the heavy rain.

Looking at Yin Li's disappearing back, Jiang Yan raised his hands and clasped them together, "Amitabha, I hope Allah bless you."

…………

After the matter was settled, Jiang Yan put everything behind him and retreated into his recliner.

"Finally, it's quiet... It's a rare opportunity to relax."

Closing his eyes, Jiang Yan began to review what he had learned from the sermon. It was not that the listeners had enlightenment, sermons were always a two-way street.

The listener is touched by the truth and awakens his mind, gaining enlightenment, while the speaker is able to unravel the mystery and gain new insights through asking questions. This cycle is a way of returning to the origin and moving towards the new, encouraging each other to follow the great path.

Therefore, the ancients often said, review the past to learn new things.

After a long time, Jiang Yan opened his eyes again, his dark pupils reflecting the pure and flawless world.

“Huh… Although this curse makes it difficult for me to walk, it has suppressed all my cultivation. I can only cultivate my mind if I continue to practice, but it has given me something new. Blessings often come with calamities, and blessings often come with misfortunes. It’s really hard to describe in a few words…”

Looking at things from different angles is always different. At least now that things are irreversible, Jiang Yan can only try to have fun despite the suffering.

I calculated the time in my mind. It was already late at night and the continuous heavy rain turned into a drizzle of soft rain.

"It's almost four hours. Considering Ming'er's efficiency... this shouldn't be the case, right?"

Jiang Yan was puzzled. After thinking for a while, he joked, "You won't catch Yin Li and beat her mercilessly, will you?"

"Uh... shouldn't it be possible?"

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Jiang Yan poked the jade bell around his waist with his finger to confirm that Shen Ming was really acting according to the plan.

"Ming'er? Are you there? What kind of "stage" did you build? It's been so long and you still haven't performed well?"

zizi...

It seems like the signal is a bit bad, or like Shen Ming took the initiative to hang up the call?

Jiang Yan poked again and tried to contact Shen Ming. After an unknown amount of time, he finally got in touch with Shen Ming's spiritual thoughts.

But he was so shocked at the beginning that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

“Hahaha~ Shout, shout, no one will come even if you shout your throat out hahaha!”

"Devil! What have you done to me! Quickly undo your magic! Otherwise... otherwise... ah~... you... um...~"

"What did I do? I didn't do anything! I was just standing here, and you...Haha!"

It was like hearing heavenly music. Along with a few voices of extreme humiliation and wild laughter, there was also Shen Ming's soft and pleasant voice that sounded like heavenly music.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Jiang Yan looked at the jade bell with suspicion for a moment, wondering if he had dialed the wrong number?

But this is impossible!

In an instant, Jiang Yan analyzed the two voices that had just appeared in his mind.

They are not strangers, they are old acquaintances.

The humiliating moan that made one want to cry and fantasize, although it was somewhat different from the original owner's personality, Jiang Yan still recognized that she was Yin Li! !

As for the male voice that Yin Li called "devil", it was the late cultivator "Yu Zhong".

Jiang Yan didn't know how Shen Ming could replicate the role of the devil. As for how to persecute... Jiang Yan felt that Shen Ming should not have reached the level of a beast.

But it still didn't stop Jiang Yan from widening his eyes and asking in shock: "What did you do?!"

"I didn't do anything. Master, don't you know clearly that this is the talisman formation you developed yourself? No matter how real it is, it is still fake if it does not involve the Dao. Master has only studied the Dao of formations and has not reached the level of the Dao of illusion where the false becomes true. Therefore, the things Shen Ming arranged here will only confuse that little girl~"

Jiang Yan blinked: "That's true, but why is the style of your paintings... a bit..."

While Shen Ming was speaking, there was still the "background music" playing tirelessly behind him, along with Yin Li's increasingly humiliated and aggrieved voice. Jiang Yan even suspected that Shen Ming was taking the fake one seriously!

"Master, don't worry. You should know the girl's physique best. How can I gain her trust if I don't treat her harshly?"

"How did you do it?"

Shen Ming tapped her chin with her index finger, and said innocently, "It's just that I broke off a few dozen peach branches and buried them at her feet. The seven emotions on them will at most cause her temperament to change drastically for a while."

Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that you are worthy of it. Yin Li has not yet completely mastered her own physical condition, and the ordinary seven emotions are fine, at most they will change her appearance. But Shen Ming's seven emotions are different, they can really kill people!

It was probably similar to the wine cellar he built exclusively in Xiaojue Peak. If it soaked for a while longer, it would probably be marinated! Jiang Yan didn't dare to imagine what strange appearance it would become!

"Hiss... that's enough. If you overdo it, you won't be able to take it back. Let her go now."

"As expected, the youngest has always been the most popular. Master is really good to this "little sister"~"

Shen Ming's jealous thoughts attacked Jiang Yan, and immediately, Jiang Yan sat up straight.

"First, she has nothing to do with us. Second, I don't recognize her. You are my only disciple. Third, Ming'er, if you don't believe in yourself, you don't believe in your master either. You are my only disciple!"

"Haha, Master is so nice, I will be nice in the future too~"

His mind calmed down and returned to the jade bell. Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and didn't care about the dangerous scene just now.

It’s nothing, I’ve just gotten used to it.

Compared to this, he was more concerned about the future plans.

"After Yin Li escapes, the suspicion on me will probably be cleared. Plus, if I reveal the news about Yuan Lian Sect, it should divert attention. By then, I'll have the relationship with Yin Li, and I can plan slowly..."

As soon as this thought came into his mind, he felt a familiar breath coming towards him!

When he saw clearly the human figure transformed by the colorful light, no matter how calm Jiang Yan was, he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Shen Ming, what are you doing? Push Yin Li towards me!"
