Chapter 88: Future Taoist Companions on Strike (18)
The foundation-building cultivator smiled and handed over the storage bag. "Zhu believes in the disciples of the Sword Sect. You can keep the deposit first. As for when to go in, it's all up to you. Just tell me before you go in so that I can meet you two."
After hearing what he said, Mo Fanli realized that this foundation-building cultivator might have seen through their identities long ago. Mo Fanli inadvertently glanced at Qin Luo's robe and understood it at once.
Qin Luo was wearing the Sword Sect's Taoist robes. Any cultivator who was familiar with the Sword Sect knew what the Sword Sect's Taoist robes looked like.
Mo Fanli was about to say that they should go in directly, but Qin Luo seemed to understand her idea and said first: "I will come tomorrow."
Although he didn't understand the deep meaning of Qin Luo's coming tomorrow, wouldn't it be better to solve it today? But Mo Fanli didn't say much, and nodded to him, "Thank you, fellow Taoist. My brothers and sisters are from the Sword Sect. As you said, we have to prepare today and come back tomorrow."
"It's all right. Then send me a message before you two go in tomorrow." Seeing the two of them readily tell him the time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Weird things have happened frequently recently, and the city lord is at a critical juncture of breakthrough. He is overwhelmed by these things.
After saying this, none of the three took any action.
Knowing that the two wanted to observe, the Foundation Establishment cultivator did not stay for long. He just left a sound transmission note and then left.
After the people left, Mo Fanli rolled her eyes at him.
She muttered, "I don't know whether you are the eldest master or I am the eldest lady. Why are you more like a young master than me?"
I don’t know if he did the same thing when he completed missions before.
Cherish words like gold.
"When you go out, don't trust anyone, including those who seem to have no problems, and also ordinary people. Mo Fanli, this is the first lesson of your training."
In the world of cultivation, anyone can stab you in the back, even your relatives, friends, or fellow Taoist.
Ordinary people in this mortal world only live for a few decades, and there are countless examples of power and interests, fame and fortune, changes of dynasties, endless blood and countless dead bones. A mortal may only live for a hundred years at most, and then turn into a handful of earth. This is not even possible; how much more so for cultivators who can live for hundreds or thousands of years and want to achieve immortality? Which cultivator dares to say that he has never been stained with blood or killed a single person!
If that is true, it means that one has not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.
All the sects and families will wait until the younger generation has some means and strength to protect their lives before sending them out to gain experience, not to mention the small sects and independent cultivators, who have been polished in the mundane world every day since the mortal stage. After embarking on the journey of cultivation, they must act with caution, because one careless move could result in death. They do not have those means to protect their lives and endless magic weapons and talismans, and can only rely on strength and caution.
Human hearts are extremely complex and changeable, with interests and power always taking the forefront. If he can remain unchanged today, what about ten years later, or a hundred years later? If he faces death, will his choice still be the same?
Everyone has a different stance and makes different choices. Qin Luo has encountered such people before, but so what!
In the world of cultivation, strength is paramount.
It's cruel, but true.
Of course, killing people will have consequences, and one will have inner demons as one advances, and one may become possessed by the devil if one is not careful.
Qin Luo had met someone who was possessed by a demon. At that time, he thought: He was a person with a weak mind.
I only spoke a few words to him, and then I never saw him again.
After all, the world of cultivation is really huge.
It is so big that even if you search for a person for hundreds of years, you still cannot find him/her, let alone two people who have only met each other at first sight!
He was determined and his heart was firm. He would never have thought that he would almost become a demon in the future and become the person he himself said was weak in heart...
Mo Fanli recalled her unconscious trust in that man just now. This was due to her observation at the city gate. The guards at the city gate recognized him and saluted him, indicating that the man was from the City Lord's Mansion. From then on, Mo Fanli subconsciously determined his identity, and she only became defensive until the surrounding environment became wrong.
If there really was something unusual in the dense forest, the two of them would not be able to talk here peacefully.
After listening to this, Mo Fanli fell into deep thought, his face solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."
Because she was lost in thought, Mo Fanli didn't even notice that she had called Qin Luo's name wrong.
She usually calls him Junior Brother or Qin Luo.
This is the first time I call him senior brother.
Qin Luo happened to notice the difference and glanced at her.
"When you are not strong enough, it is a good idea to be cautious. It may save your life!"
Mo Fanli nodded, and the arrogance in his eyes subsided a bit.
It is undeniable that a considerable part of what Qin Luo said is indeed correct, but I don’t know whether it is the conclusion he came from his previous experience.
She thought so and asked, "Qin Luo, have you ever experienced something like this before?"
Qin Luo answered truthfully: "Yeah."
After hearing his words, Mo Fanli's eyes widened a little, unable to hide her surprise.
"Qin Luo, you really have experienced this." I didn't expect that such a powerful junior brother would encounter such a thing.
However, the foundation-building cultivator named Zhu seemed to have no problems, but whether he was a human or a ghost would be revealed tomorrow.
“Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts!”
Qin Luo was setting up a formation outside the dense forest. One reason was to keep a backup plan, and the other was to prevent other people from doing something. When he heard Mo Fanli's question, he did not turn around and spoke slowly.
He was not usually so cautious, except for his first training experience. This was the first time in all these years.
Probably because of the naive little sister behind him.
After scanning again with his spiritual sense and finding nothing unusual, Qin Luo turned around and left with Mo Fanli.
After returning to Chuanluo City, the two booked two rooms.
Seeing that the two people had extraordinary auras, perhaps they were immortal masters, the shopkeeper selected two of the best rooms and was about to take them upstairs personally, but Mo Fanli raised his hand and the shopkeeper stopped. He had received many immortal masters, and most of them did not like to be disturbed, so he went back behind the counter.
Mo Fanli followed Qin Luo to the room. Qin Luo looked at her. Although he didn't say anything, Mo Fanli could tell from his eyes that he seemed to be asking her why she didn't go back to her room.
Their rooms were adjacent. After going upstairs, Qin Luo pointed to the room further inside, indicating that it was where Mo Fanli lived.
Mo Fanli understood what he meant at a glance and nodded.
And the next second he followed Qin Luo over.
Thinking that Mo Fanli liked this room more, Qin Luo was about to go to another one.
Mo Fanli sat down at the table, propped up her chin, and although her tone was nonchalant, she could not hide her excitement, "Qin Luo, after the task is completed, let's go shopping for two days, and then go back slowly."
After Mo Fanli spoke, Qin Luo also sat down and set up a barrier.
Afraid that Qin Luo would think she was childish and playful, she explained her words again.
Following Qin Luo's movements, he turned his head and said seriously: "This way, we can better understand and contact the cultivators and the world outside, which is beneficial to cultivation."
"After all, Second Senior Brother always said that cultivation cannot be done behind closed doors, and Master also told me that I can come out and practice more when I have nothing to do in the future."
Qin Luo was meditating, without opening his eyes, and responded lightly: "Yeah."
Hearing this, Mo Fanli shook his head and went back to his room.
After nightfall, Mo Fanli suddenly thought of something. Since he was going back to Chuanluo City to do nothing but stay for one night, why did he have to come back? Wouldn't it be better for him to just stay where he was and restrain his breath and stare at that place?
She opened the next room again. The barrier was still there, but there was no one in the room!
Mo Fanli frowned.
