Chapter 180 It takes no effort at all
Tao Fengzhi had said before that Zhongsun must be from Longquan Villa. However, she was not sure what his identity was or whether he was important in the villa.
"I am indeed from Longquan Villa. My last name is Zhongsun." Zhongsun Li did not intend to explain his identity any further. He asked, "Senior, you should have reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, right?"
"Yes." Lin Xuxi nodded.
The two of them were getting quite close to each other at this point, really because of the miasma.
"That's perfect, perfect!" Zhongsun Li breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a definite answer and explained, "Senior, can you help me?"
"Help you?" Lin Xuxi guessed that Longquan Villa was in trouble, but the other party hadn't yet explained what the difficulty was, so she couldn't agree immediately. So she asked, "You said Longquan Villa was in trouble. What kind of trouble is it?"
"The seal of the Fountain of Resentment has loosened somewhat."
Lin Xuxi had never heard of this before, "Grudge Spring?"
At the very center of East Yuanshan Mountain lies a spring of resentment, said to connect it to another ethereal spiritual realm. From this spring, a constant stream of sinister resentment, also known as miasma, emerges.
When a cultivator or a demon cultivator is in the presence of a sinister and resentful aura, if they do not have elixirs to protect themselves, they will first begin to lose their minds, and soon they will start to feel drowsy, and then cry and make a fuss, and begin to want to kill people uncontrollably, and finally they will be unable to wake up from sleep.
The resentful energy would slowly devour the cultivator's consciousness once he or she fell asleep, dragging it back into the void of the spirit world. From then on, the person would never wake up again.
Dongyuan Mountain can also be considered a seal, sealing the resentful energy emitted by the Resentful Spring to ensure that the resentful energy does not spread out. As long as the resentful energy is trapped in Dongyuan Mountain, there will be Longquan to purify it.
There has been no omission for thousands of years, but the strange thing is that since yesterday the Spring of Resentment suddenly became out of control, and the resentful energy has been trying to break the seal.
The seal had already loosened somewhat. If it was truly broken, Longquan Villa would be destroyed. However, the matter happened suddenly, and Zhongsun Li could only send a message to his brother, but his brother would not be able to return for a while.
He was a late Nascent Soul cultivator, weak and powerless, and his little spiritual power was simply a drop in the bucket for the seal. He was about to run away when he ran into this Lin Xuxi.
Knowing that the other party was at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he knew that Longquan Villa was saved. No matter what, he had to consolidate the seal first, at least to hold out until Big Brother returned!
"But the outside world has always said that the miasma in Dongyuan Mountain was created intentionally by Longquan Villa just to prevent people from setting foot in?" Lin Xuxi was surprised.
If that's the case, then these miasma weren't intentional creation of Longquan Villa?
"What the outside world thinks has nothing to do with my Longquan Villa. I only ask this senior to help us suppress the seal temporarily. I will be very grateful." Although his brother always said that Zhongsun Li was a bit reckless, he was not ignorant of etiquette.
If you ask for help, you should act like you're asking for help.
Hearing this, Lin Xuxi guessed that this person must have a high position in Longquan Villa. Anyone who can say the six words "Longquan Villa" can at least represent Longquan Villa.
"Okay!" Since that's the case, she is willing to help.
Lin Xuxi had also come to ask for a favor, and if she could curry favor with the other party here, it would make things easier for her in the future. She readily agreed and then asked, "Where is the Resentful Spring?"
"Follow me." Zhongsun Li was very anxious. Without thinking, he grabbed Lin Xuxi's slender wrist and pulled her forward.
But after taking two steps forward, he realized that he couldn't pull the person behind him. He looked back in confusion, but he could only see a blurry face and couldn't read the other person's eyes.
The miasma is too thick.
Lin Xuxi raised her wrist to show the other party how extraordinary her actions were.
"Excuse me, my rudeness." Zhongsun Li quickly let go of her hand and bowed repeatedly to apologize. He explained, "I was in a hurry and worried that you might lose track and get lost, so I did that. It's really rude."
"No problem." If Lin Xuxi hadn't known why he was acting this way, she would have struck him with her sword. Repeatedly and disrespectfully offending a stranger was truly excessive.
Lin Xuxi threw out a piece of pink silk and asked the other party to grab it and use it to lead her away.
"Yes." Zhongsun Li pulled the delicate silk and slowly explored forward. If he hadn't come here all the time and knew this road by heart, he would probably be bewitched by the miasma.
Lin Xuxi followed for a long time and came to a narrow crevice in the rocks, which required one to turn sideways to enter.
"Senior, please be careful." Zhongsun Li reminded.
Lin Xuxi hummed in agreement, carefully sideways inching her way in. The crevice was about ten meters long, so she moved slowly. After passing through it, she suddenly opened up to a natural valley, though she couldn't see anything around her.
As soon as they came in, the two of them started coughing more frequently.
"Cough-cough-"
The closer you get to the fog, the thicker it becomes.
"Senior, this is the place!" Zhongsun Li tugged at the silky silk in his hand to confirm where the real person was and then moved closer to him.
Lin Xuxi felt something pressing against her shoulder, and guessing it was Zhongsun Li, she asked, "I can't even see any spring, so how can I help you consolidate the seal?" She felt a little troubled.
It's just that she was not used to having too close contact with people. If it was old friends like Shu Jing, it would be fine, but she felt uncomfortable with a strange man approaching her.
"In this direction." Zhongsun Li already knew that he should wrap the silk in his hands before touching his senior's hand. He intuitively pulled his senior's hand and pointed in a direction.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the gurgling sound of boiling water.
"It should be right here."
Lin Xuxi knew he was helpless, and even knew to wrap it in silk, so she didn't blame him. She drew a spirit-suppressing talisman in the air in that direction, and with a wave of her wide sleeves, she struck it.
The talisman really landed accurately on the Gudong spring, but it seemed to be of no use. Lin Xuxi cast out four more spirit-suppressing talismans before he began to see any effect.
Seeing that the miasma had dissipated a little, I began to see the scene in front of me clearly.
"Can you let go now?" Lin Xuxi pulled her hand back.
Zhongsun Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to apologize, "I'm sorry. I had no choice but to do it." His apology with a red face was not very convincing.
"It doesn't matter."
After being able to see the spring clearly, Lin Xuxi walked over and drew a few more spirit-suppressing talismans to secure the seal again before taking a closer look at this very exquisite seal.
"It seems that only a talisman cultivator at least in the late Mahayana stage can have such means." Lin Xuxi sighed.
"Indeed, the first and most powerful owner of Longquan Villa is in the late Mahayana stage. This was the seal he set before he ascended to become the Taoist Patriarch, and it has loosened over the years." Zhongsun Li sighed.
Because the seal was temporarily stabilized, not so much miasma rolled out. Although they were not close, Lin Xuxi could already see the other person's appearance clearly.
He is a handsome young man with deep features, tall and strong stature and handsome appearance.
He looks like a swordsman, no wonder he is helpless against the seal.
"But we still need more seniors." Zhongsun Li bowed and thanked him. After straightening up, he asked again: "Seniors, would you like to come to Longquan Villa for a chat?"
