Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 261: Northern Barbarians

"Hmm." Yifeng retracted his gaze, cleared his throat, and said loudly to the people who were looking over: "There was a small incident just now. Please don't mind it. The transaction continues, the transaction continues."

When everyone heard this, they looked at him with something strange in their eyes.

This is such a fucking little episode, it's almost exposed to the world.

"Sister Mu, are the Taoist priests and sword-riding warriors here very familiar with the clan leader and others?" In the market, Elder Zhu asked curiously to Wang Mu who was accompanying him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the female elders behind them all looked at Wang Mu, curiosity flashing in their eyes.

Wang Mu organized his words and said, "Master Xuan Ce, he is indeed very familiar with us."

At this point, she pointed in the direction of Xuanyuan and said, "Xuanyuan is the base established by the Xuanxu Sect, the sect to which Taoist Xuan Ce belongs."

"As for the man flying the sword, he is a strong man from the Northern Sword Pavilion. He came to the Forgotten Town once and they got along very well with each other."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhu guessed, "This strong man must have come to help after sensing the energy fluctuations."

"Probably." Wangmu replied casually.

The human heart is hard to predict except for oneself.

The same curiosity also happened to Liu Yu, Yu Ye, Man Shan and others.

The legacy can only be explained briefly.

In the pavilion on the rock peak, Shang Liangshan looked at the flying cloud and sword, stood up and said with a smile: "I thought Taoist Xuan Ce had returned to the sect."

"Don't mention it. I originally wanted to go back to the sect, but was delayed by some troubles."

"I see." Shang Liangshan nodded, looked at Jian Shisan who had put away his sword and was floating down, and said with a cupped hand, "I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person last time. Please wait for Master Shisan."

"I dare not, I dare not. It's just that Thirteen came at an unfortunate time." Jian Shisan hurriedly returned the greeting.

Among those of the same level, the status of temple spirits is undoubtedly higher, because they are temple spirits recognized by heaven and earth.

What makes the righteous people even more jealous is that temple spirits cannot be killed at will, as killing them will bring bad luck.

"Alright, alright, stop being so polite. We are all family, why should we be so polite? Just have some tea." Taoist Xuan Ce walked into the pavilion, sat down, and greeted them.

Shang Liangshan smiled and gestured to Jian Shisan to invite him to sit down.

The old patriarch naturally became the person who poured the tea.

"Ah." Taoist Xuan Ce took a sip of tea and said to Shang Liangshan, "The Northern Sword Pavilion is quite righteous and is an ally of our Xuanxu Sect."

This was to clarify the relationship and let Shang Liangshan and the old patriarch know how to treat Jiange.

"I see." Shang Liangshan nodded to show that he understood, and asked Taoist Xuan Ce, "What happened to provoke you, Taoist, to become so angry?"

"Speaking of this, I get very angry." Taoist Xuan Ce took a sip of tea, suppressed his anger, and then said, "This matter started with the little resentful demon, which attracted powerful people from all sides."

As Taoist Xuan Ce spoke, Shang Liangshan and the old patriarch's brows became more and more furrowed.

After the former finished speaking, the old patriarch said angrily: "The strong can be so unscrupulous, they are not afraid of arousing public anger and attracting the masters of the ancient village to hunt them down."

Among the Shiwan Mountains, the power of the rural villages is undoubtedly the weakest, but the power of the mountain villages is unfathomable. No one knows how many powerful people are hidden in the ancient mountain villages deep in the Shiwan Mountains.

This is also the main reason why the mainland forces only dare to act recklessly on the outskirts of the Shiwan Mountains.

According to Taoist Priest Xuan Ce's story, a strong man went into the Shiwan Mountains to look for the little demons. He used his strength to intimidate the villages and strongholds, robbed and plundered, causing one tragedy after another.

He couldn't bear to watch it anymore and tried to stop it, thus delaying his return trip.

Taoist Xuan Ce heard this and said angrily: "They robbed and plundered and ran away. Of course, we are not afraid, but the disaster is still there. Once the strong men of the ancient mountain stronghold are enraged, we, the sects in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, will become scapegoats. This is what makes me angry."

"The most terrifying chain reaction is that it will bring out the sleeping ancient poisonous people. Even if the ancient poisonous people have no intention of hurting anyone, they are full of poison. The residual poison left wherever they pass will cause a terrible plague." Jian Shisan added.

"You haven't seen the scene where the powerful poisoner and the Gu master work together. Even breathing will poison you, and if the defense is slightly exposed, you will be poisoned." Taoist Xuan Ce said with a look of reminiscence on his face.

“This, this, this…” The old patriarch was shocked and didn’t know what to say, because the scene was terrifying to think about.

"This matter needs to be communicated. There are people from the mountain stronghold in the market. We can tell them about the situation." Shang Liangshan gave a suggestion.

"That's a good idea." Taoist Xuan Ce nodded in agreement.

"I'll go talk to Lao Feng right now." The old patriarch could no longer sit still. He stood up, said goodbye to Taoist Xuan Ce and Jian Shisan, and left in a hurry.

"What is the current situation on the continent?" Shang Liangshan looked at Taoist Xuan Ce and Jian Shisan and asked.

"Ghosts are appearing everywhere, one after another." Taoist Xuan Ce spit out eight words.

"The northern barbarians are ready to make a move. I followed the order to return to the northern border and passed through the Forgotten Township." Jian Shisan said truthfully.

"Northern Barbarians?" Shang Liangshan asked in confusion.

"People with giant bloodlines have violent personalities, are warlike, and aren't very smart," Jian Shisan explained.

"The northern barbarians are ready to make a move. I'm afraid it has something to do with the barbarian slaves." Taoist Xuan Ce finished speaking and explained to Shang Liangshan who was looking at him in confusion: "The barbarians are tall, strong, and have great endurance, but their brains are not very smart. They are undoubtedly the best choice for slavery."

"Therefore, those who were blinded by profit formed slave-hunting teams one after another to capture the barbarians on a large scale."

"If you don't seek death, you won't die!" Shang Liangshan blurted out.

"This sentence is a classic." Taoist Xuan Ce praised.

"We don't have any barbarian slaves in Jiange." Jian Shisan explained hurriedly.

"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent." Shang Liangshan shook his head and said.

There are no barbarian slaves in Jiange, but there are definitely forces that provide them with resources.

"When an avalanche occurs, is there no innocent snowflake?" Taoist Xuan Ce murmured to himself, falling into some kind of enlightenment.

After Shang Liangshan and Jian Shisan discovered something unusual, they looked at each other and chose to guard silently.

Not long after, Taoist Xuan Ce woke up from his enlightenment. During that time, there were no strange phenomena, only a gentle breeze blowing across the rocky peaks.

"Congratulations, Master, for achieving a state of mind that is free from worldly desires." Jian Shisan congratulated.

"Congratulations, Taoist Priest, for getting rid of all worldly desires." Shang Liangshan congratulated.

"Haha, it's still a little bit short, but it's not far either. Liangshan, you are indeed a lucky star." Taoist Xuan Ce stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"I don't deserve to be called the lucky star. I will be remembered by others." Shang Liangshan said seriously.

"Oh, haha." Taoist Xuan Ce laughed heartily upon hearing this.

This made Jian Shisan look confused. What's so funny about this?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and when the laughter stopped, he asked Shang Liangshan, "Shang Xuanling, among the strong men who challenged your hometown not long ago, was there one who used a sword?"
