Chapter 73 The strange old man talking to you
"The last city!"

Zhong Lingge traveled for more than a month and finally arrived near Geling Mountain. Passing through this mountain range was the mortal world. She planned to rest here for a while and inquire about Bing Yi before leaving.

"Lingge, why are there so many people queuing up here?" Lin Xiaojiu had a certain understanding of the Lower Domain. This is a remote area and close to the common people. There shouldn't be so many talented people in normal times.

"It's a little abnormal." Zhong Lingge didn't know. The strangest thing was that most of the monks around him were Qi refining and foundation building. They were older than the other. Both men and women had gray hair, wrinkles on their faces, and the staleness on their bodies was invisible. A few years to live.

She and Xiaojiu no longer communicated with each other, and both listened carefully with their ears raised.

"Fellow Daoist He, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Lin, are you also interested in the position of National Master of Xia Jinguo?"

"Hey, if you die in the lower realm, it is better to go to the mortal world and become an idle rich man. Your life will be short."

"The young casual cultivators are resisting. We old and weak can't help. We might as well go to the secular world and pick out a few with good spiritual roots and bring them back."

"I'm too lazy to care! I come from the mortal world, and I just want to return to the mortal world and be buried with my family."

The old people around him had different ideas, but they all had the same purpose: to go to Xia Jin Kingdom to be a national teacher.

Whenever the royal family of a secular country has the opportunity, they will keep a national master in the palace.

This is an immortal figure in the eyes of mortals, a mysterious and ethereal figure. A country with a national teacher is less likely to be invaded by neighboring countries and can more smoothly conquer unconquered tribes.

But in the eyes of the monks, it is simply a waste of life to become a national master in the secular world. If you pursue even the slightest pursuit, you would rather rush to the realm of cultivation until your life span is exhausted than be a mortal in a world with almost no spiritual energy until you die.

Zhong Lingge was surprised. How could there be so many monks willing to become national preceptors this time? In the past, no one wanted to be a secular national master, but this time it seemed like there was still competition?
"It's getting weirder day by day. The weather is cold, the sun is weak, and people are going crazy with the cold." Zhong Lingge stood in the middle of a group of old people, very lively.

After a while, someone present took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Is this Zhong Xiaoyou from the Jidao Sect? I'm so glad to meet you! Why is Zhong Xiaoyou also here at the border of the mortal world? It's hard to have a chance here!"

The hunchbacked old man who spoke looked kind-hearted, so Zhong Lingge responded politely: "I was just walking around to inquire about something, thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."

The old man added: "I wonder what information Zhong Daoyou wants to inquire about? I have been practicing nearby all year round, maybe I can help."

Zhong Lingge showed no taboos along the way. He expressed his curiosity about the puppet and wanted to know where Bingyi was. This time was no exception.

"I heard that there is a puppet master named Bing Yi. The puppets he makes are exquisite and magical, and some can even be used as teammates to fight together. I am somewhat interested in puppets and want to know the whereabouts of Master Bing Yi."

"I see."

The old man hammered his hunched waist, covered his mouth and coughed violently for a while, and said with difficulty: "To tell you the truth, I had a relationship with Bingyi, and it was just two months ago."

"Where have you seen him before, fellow Taoist?" Zhong Lingge's heart tightened, and immediately he felt an uncomfortable feeling coming out, making him inexplicably more wary of the old man.

She suppressed the vigilance caused by her spiritual sense and pretended to ask urgently.

"Does Master Bingyi live nearby? Have you ever talked to him?"

"Don't worry, Friends Zhong Dao, otherwise there are too many people here and there is a dispute between Bing and Yi in the Lower Domain. We might as well go over there and discuss it in detail."

The old man pointed to the outskirts of the city and smiled kindly and harmlessly.Zhong Lingge felt something was wrong even more.

She trusted her intuition. The old man was definitely not as harmless as he appeared.

"Fellow Taoist, who dares to go to the wilderness to talk with a strange monk these days? If you are really willing to tell me, we will go into the city and find a teahouse close to the city lord's palace to sit down and talk."

"You're very defensive. Hehehe——"

The old man suddenly laughed strangely, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant. His kind face turned a little gloomy due to the wrinkles squeezed together. His muddy and yellow old eyes also suddenly changed. With a flash of light, the whites and pupils of the eyes were clearly black and white, and there was no trace of age at all. state.

Zhong Lingge secretly screamed that something was not good. Before he could get the talisman to protect himself, his body was shocked by the pressure of Yuanying Perfection. His eyes blurred and his feet left the ground.

When her feet landed on the ground again and her eyes could see, Zhong Lingge found that she was standing in a valley full of Jiyou flowers. In addition to Jiyou flowers, there was also a red pool not far away. Standing on the shore was Zhong Lingge. It was the hunched old man.

"Are you Bingyi?"

Zhong Lingge quickly sorted out his thoughts. The strange old man was not interested in anything else about her, so he only wanted to catch her asking about Bing Yi. There would be no one else besides me.

The old man was quite surprised and laughed strangely. "Hehehe, he's quite clever and his skin is good. It's perfect for making a human-skinned warrior."

"If you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why are you here chirping and scaring people?"

Zhong Lingge was not afraid of his bluff. Unless Bingyi had made up her mind not to live, she would never dare to touch a hair on her head.She traveled rampantly in the lower realm, not relying on her strength in the middle stage of Qi refining, but
"I have a protective spell set by my master. You can try it on me. I haven't seen him for a long time. It would be nice to meet his spirit and chat for a while."

"Hehehehe-"

Bingyi stood far away from the beginning to the end, not even touching Zhong Lingge with his consciousness. It was obvious that he had been guessed by her and had some scruples in his heart.

"You have been asking for news about me in such a high-profile way. How come you are so frightened that you only pull your master's tiger skin when you see me and see the rabbit?"

"If you were taken away by a high-level monk from the upper realm, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Zhong Lingge sat down on the ground and looked around. The valley scenery was pretty good, but there was no trace of living people. Apart from Bingyi and her, there was no trace of a third person.

When Bingyi saw her looking around, he snorted coldly and his tone became unkind.

"No matter why you came to me, it's best not to continue in the future. This time I'm just giving you a warning. I won't be so polite next time. You're right, I really don't dare to do anything to you, but Hu Jiufei is in my hands Li, if you don’t want her to die miserably, be honest and don’t mention my name in the future!”

"Jiu Fei is indeed here with you! If you need anything, I will try my best to do it for you. Can't you just let Jiu Fei go?"

Zhong Lingge confirmed his guess and could no longer calm down. He looked at Bingyi anxiously and wanted to discuss it with him.She knew very well in her heart that discussing with Master Yuanying during her Qi Refining Period was simply a clown act, extremely ridiculous, and it would be useless even if she relied on her master.

It was just that it was about Jiu Fei, so she had to be anxious.

"Senior Bingyi, don't hurt her, no matter what you want."

"I want all living beings to be exterminated. If you can do it, come and replace me. Hehehe——"

Monster Bingyi said something strangely, and swept Zhong Lingge out of the valley with a wave of his sleeves.
