MTL - The Whole Cultivation World Wants To Revive The Venerable-Chapter 2
Seeing the bare Menxin Cliff in front of her, Li Fenglan was really disgusted.
In the previous world of comprehension, he used an ancient artifact to lock him up. He didn't expect to be replaced by a dilapidated cliff after rebirth.
This situation can be described with a new word he learned from the comment section of "Tianmian Daosheng": consumption downgrade.
But thinking about it carefully, Li Fenglan and Wenxin Cliff are not totally unrelated.
At least a thousand years ago, Meng Linzhou, a rebel who hadn't become a "Law-holding Immortal", was often sent here by his master to face the wall and think about his mistakes.
It once became Meng Linzhou's second home.
There was a light snowfall on the Cliff of Menxin, and Li Fenglan, who was sitting alone at the foot of the cliff blowing the cold wind, also took out a crane cloak from the Qiankun bag left by the original master and put it on.
His health is extremely poor. Not only is he not afraid of cold and heat like other monks, but even if he blows the mountain wind casually, he may catch a cold and lie in bed for a few days.
Thinking of this, Li Fenglan couldn't help but make a note of Lin Chaochen in her heart.
But at this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly saw a black shadow appearing on the cliff not far away. If it weren't for the strong barrier of the Heavenly Sleeping Palace, he would have thought this place was haunted.
"Is there anyone else?" Li Fenglan couldn't help muttering to herself.
It turns out that there are still unlucky people like him today who were sent to this ghost place by the people of the Law Hall?
Li Fenglan saw the person in front of the cliff, and of course that person also spotted him.
Unlike Li Fenglan who stayed where she was without any intention of communicating, the person in front of the cliff got up and walked towards him after a few seconds.
It was at this moment that Li Fenglan took advantage of the moonlight to see clearly the face of the visitor, and then her eyes widened involuntarily.
…How could it be him?
Just when Li Fenglan, who had been a salted fish for five years after her rebirth, thought that she was far from the turmoil of her previous life. But in just two days, he unexpectedly met his second old friend.
It turned out that the person who was sitting with me at the foot of the Menxin Cliff and blowing the cold wind was Meng Linzhou, the traitor in his previous life.
I really want to come here.
Not seen for more than a thousand years, the traitor has indeed matured a lot, and his facial features seem to have become more profound.
Li Fenglan saw through the veiled hat that Meng Linzhou's phoenix eyes seemed to be icy cold, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his whole body gave off a smell of not being close to strangers. He was dressed in black, his long hair was tied into a high ponytail on the back of his head, and a...
Wait, what is that?
Li Fenglan saw that a hairpin made of dead wood was stuck in Meng Linzhou's hair.
Others may not understand what the hairpin is, but Li Fenglan recognized it at a glance - it was a branch of Wumei.
Looking at the Three Realms, only the snow-covered Meizhou where Li Fenglan lived in her previous life has foggy plums, and every plant is his painstaking effort.
But that was 1,200 years ago.
It is written in the novel that the "good apprentice" in front of me that year had just died on his front foot, and then set fire to Wumei with his back foot. The snowy field that was once covered with smoky plums was left with nothing but a scorched black mass... It seemed that Meng Linzhou didn't want to wait any longer.
In the book, the rebel Meng Linzhou also said: "Wumei must be watered with spiritual power. It has been raised by Li Fuyue for thousands of years. Who knows if it has been infected with evil spirits? Only by burning it can people feel relieved."
Thinking of this, Li Fenglan couldn't help but smile when she took another look at the wooden hairpin in Meng Linzhou's hair.
This traitor had never dealt with him in his previous life, and his highest goal in life seemed to be to defeat him. Unexpectedly, more than a thousand years later, Meng Linzhou still hasn't forgotten those bad things, burning his own Wumei is not enough, and he even broke dead branches and stuck them in his hair as trophies.
Childish, really childish.
It's a pity that he doesn't care about those extraneous things.
But then again, what is Meng Linzhou doing here?
Now that he is the Zongmen's Law Holder Immortal Venerable, no one has been able to punish him for a long time. Appearing here in the middle of the night, you can't be addicted to Menxin Cliff, right?
"Why were you punished to come here?" Meng Linzhou asked Li Fenglan before he could understand the question just now.
At this moment, the night wind blew across the bottom of the cliff and stroked his veiled hat, revealing the lower half of Li Fenglan's face and dark purple scars hidden under the hat.
The contours of his chin and lips are extremely beautiful, but the scar that is set off by such beauty is even more hideous.
Seeing this, even Meng Linzhou couldn't help being stunned. Surprised, he actually felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar.
From Li Fenglan's point of view, Meng Linzhou's tone was completely interrogating herself.
Maybe it's because I read too many comments on "Taoist in Sleep". After hearing the rebel's words, Li Fenglan subconsciously thought of a word: professional habits.
Although Li Fenglan was too lazy to talk to Meng Linzhou, but the way of reincarnation is good, and a thousand years have passed, Li Fenglan is no longer the master who can send him to the Cliff of Menxin to face the wall and think about his past.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads.
"Accidentally touched the barrier of Yanyi Mountain." Li Fenglan glanced at Meng Linzhou lazily, and replied very foolishly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his answer, the rebel who had become the law-holder immortal did not ask questions, nor did he leave directly. He suddenly sneered with disdain and said, "Lin Chaochen? He's the only one who has a lot to do."
Just him?
Li Fenglan remembered that Meng Linzhou and Lin Chaochen were at odds back then, but he didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, he became a fairy and became even worse.
Regarding this, Li Fenglan just wanted to say that he... well scolded!
Meng Linzhou was dressed in ordinary black and concealed his cultivation, obviously because he didn't want people to know that he was the law-holder immortal. It was obviously a very scary thing for an "ordinary disciple" to say that about Lin Chaochen.
Although Li Fenglan agreed with this sentence in her heart, she coughed lightly on the surface to remind Meng Linzhou.
Meng Linzhou, as if he didn't notice Li Fenglan's hint, sat beside him and added: "He's just a decent person."
If Meng Linzhou was really an ordinary disciple, he could already bear the crime of "big treason" for saying these four words, and what Li Fenglan should do is to inform the Law Hall of his actions.
It's a pity that Meng Linzhou is not an ordinary disciple.
What's even more regrettable is that neither is Li Fenglan.
Compared to this traitor who is always against her, Li Fenglan hates Lin Chaochen even more now.
He couldn't agree more with the evaluation of "sanctified".
In this world, besides myself, there are still people who can see Lin Chaochen clearly!
Hearing the traitor's words, Li Fenglan finally couldn't help agreeing: "That's right, I think so too."
This time Meng Linzhou finally took a look at Li Fenglan.
"Meng Tingli."
"Huh?" Li Fenglan didn't understand what it meant to be a traitor.
Hearing this, Meng Linzhou repeated these three words: "Meng Tingli, my name."
Good fellow, is this how you deceived Master with a false name?
Li Fenglan nodded and pretended not to know, "My name is Li Fenglan, and I am a disciple of Miguang Mountain."
"Oh." Meng Linzhou nodded perfunctorily.
Li Fenglan can guarantee that the Meng Xianzun in front of her has 10,000% of her not knowing where "Miguang Mountain" is. Meng Linzhou is like this, he always pretends to be too lazy to put on a show, let alone be polite and say nice things to others.
At that time, he relied on this kind of ability to frequently come to the Cliff of the Heart to report.
Sure enough, Meng Linzhou's next sentence was: "I haven't heard of it."
Li Fenglan: "Oh."
Thousands of years have passed, and the EQ of the traitor still hasn't increased at all.
Probably because he has never seen anyone as rude as himself, after hearing Li Fenglan's "Oh", Meng Linzhou couldn't help but glance at Li Fenglan who was sitting on the side.
Seeing that Li Fenglan didn't have any special reaction, Meng Linzhou suddenly shook his head and said softly: "Everyone says that Lin Chaochen is a good man and righteous man, but they never thought that the person he killed back then was the senior brother who raised him with his own hands. Li Fuyue made a mistake, and everyone in the cultivation world can punish him..."
The man sitting next to Li Fenglan paused for a moment, and finally said the second half of the sentence: "Only him and...Meng Linzhou can't do it." His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for people to hear.
This time, even Li Fenglan couldn't help but glance at Meng Linzhou in shock.
In the next life, Li Fenglan herself no longer wants to recall his notoriety.
So he never thought that someone in this world would say a fair word for him.
Li Fenglan never thought that this person would be Meng Linzhou—after all, he has always hated himself as a master.
After a long silence, Li Fenglan finally nodded slightly.
Seeing his reaction, Meng Linzhou, who had always had a stinky face, smiled.
"You are the first person I met who dared to nod to this sentence."
Amazing!
After hearing Meng Linzhou's words, Li Fenglan also had to admire him as a traitor. So this is not the first time Meng Linzhou said such words?
As expected of him.
It's kind of funny to think about it, Meng Linzhou was notoriously rebellious and disobedient in the sect back then. Who would have expected that in the end he would actually become the Law-Retaining Immortal Venerable of Tianmian Palace, and even after becoming an Immortal Venerable, he would still dare to say so.
The bright moon rises gradually, illuminating the cliffs of the Cliff of Menxin.
Meng Linzhou just closed his eyes and sat in meditation facing the stone wall, as if he was really reflecting on something.
After an unknown time, Li Fenglan suddenly heard Meng Linzhou say again: "I have a friend whom I haven't seen for many years, if he is here, he will nod when he hears what I say."
Back then, I had a friend.
friend.
This time, Li Fenglan dared to assure her that if that "friend" of Meng Linzhou was here, she would definitely nod her head when she heard what he said.
Because, I am Meng Linzhou's "friend".
…
Li Fenglan always felt that Meng Linzhou deserved the word "rebel".
Obviously, like Lin Chaochen, he was raised by himself, but the two walked on two completely opposite paths.
Unlike Lin Chaochen who liked to cling to himself since he was a child, Meng Linzhou has been against himself in everything since he was a teenager.
When Meng Linzhou was accepted as a disciple, Li Fuyue was already the number one person in the cultivation world. And to be Li Fuyue's only apprentice, Meng Linzhou is naturally talented and has many expectations.
It was Li Fuyue's first time as a master, and he didn't want a good seedling to fall into his hands, so he had very strict requirements on Meng Linzhou. And Meng Linzhou did not live up to the expectations of his master, his cultivation base has improved extremely fast, and he is fully worthy of the word "genius".
But while Meng Linzhou's cultivation was improving by leaps and bounds, Li Fuyue finally realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her apprentice.
At that time, he didn't know how to describe what was wrong with Meng Linzhou. It wasn't until he read the novel and comments after his death that he realized that the scientific name of Meng Linzhou's problem was: the second disease of middle school.
Meng Linzhou's rebellious period was huge.
He wanted to get out of the shadow of his master, to defeat him and make him face himself.
At that time, Li Fuyue didn't know what Meng Linzhou was thinking—with Lin Chaochen as an "uncle teacher" as a comparison, Meng Linzhou always felt that Li Fuyue was too strict with him, and his relationship with him was not close enough, even... the teacher even Don't smile at him often.
But the young Meng Linzhou never thought that Li Fuyue was just an ordinary disciple when she took care of Lin Chaochen.
But when he was accepted as an apprentice, Li Fuyue was already the number one person in the world, and the future head of Tianmian Palace, so the burden on him was heavier than before.
Meng Linzhou became more and more rebellious, and it was also at this time that he began to come to Menxin Cliff to report frequently.
The little Cliff of Menxin did not trap Meng Linzhou, and left a note to the master, "Why are you teaching me?", and the young Meng Linzhou left directly to wander the world.
But this is only what Meng Linzhou thought.
Not long after leaving Tianmian Palace, Meng Linzhou encountered a horde of ferocious beasts and almost died in it.
If it weren't for a passing casual cultivator who saved him, there would be no Immortal Master Shilv today.
Cough cough... As for the casual cultivator, of course it was Meng Linzhou and his master Li Fuyue pretending to be.
Meng Linzhou thought that his cultivation was high enough to avoid the barrier of the Tianmian Palace, so he slipped out without anyone noticing. Little did they know that Li Fuyue noticed all the little tricks he played.
Seeing Meng Linzhou slipping down the mountain, Li Fuyue followed him with a touch of consciousness.
Li Fuyue originally wanted Meng Linzhou to have a long memory, but when the tide of beasts broke out, he finally made a move—this rebel's mouth is a bit poisonous, but the crime is not deadly.
The back story is very simple.
Meng Linzhou went down the mountain for the first time, and everything he saw was new. He said that he was wandering around the world, but in fact he was just traveling.
As for Li Fuyue, who was disguised as a casual cultivator, without the burden of the sect on her body, and no longer put on the airs of a master, she was quite relaxed.
During those few months, Li Fuyue and Meng Linzhou traveled all over the world's famous mountains and great rivers, and ate all kinds of delicacies, completely looking like they were not thinking about leaving.
Anyone who saw that casual cultivator who only thought about eating, drinking and having fun every day would not connect him with Li Fuyue Immortal Venerable who is aloof in Tianmian Palace.
Oh, right.
During that time, apart from playing around, the most important thing was that Meng Linzhou did not speak ill of Li Fuyue to his "loose cultivator friends".
Not only did Li Fuyue not expose him or be displeased, but she listened with great interest and echoed it from time to time.
One must know that at that time Li Fuyue was the common idol of the monks of the Three Realms. It was the first time to see someone who, like himself, did not regard Li Fuyue as a god. After complaining, Meng Linzhou directly introduced that Sanxiu as his confidant.
But to be honest, for Li Fuyue, the days when she pretended to be a traitor and wandered in the mortal world were really interesting.
This can be regarded as one of the few easy times in his previous life.
A few months later, Meng Linzhou felt guilty when he saw that the master didn't come to him.
He finally decided to bid farewell to his casual cultivator friends and go back to the Zongmen to have a look.
In late autumn, the maple forest outside Tianmian Palace looked red like a ball of fire from a distance.
The boy in black asked for the last time: "Are you really unwilling to go back to Heavenly Sleeping Palace with me? With your cultivation, you will definitely be able to accomplish a lot."
The man in white who was sitting on the ground stood up slowly, he smiled and patted Meng Linzhou on the shoulder and said, "I won't go, I'm used to freedom, I can't stand the rules and regulations of your Heavenly Sleep Palace."
"Okay..." Meng Linzhou looked a bit disappointed, just when Li Fuyue thought he was going to leave, she saw the young man raised his sword.
"You are my only friend." The next moment Meng Linzhou took off the sword ear and handed it to Li Fuyue with great solemnity, "So this is for you."
Li Fuyue never expected that Meng Linzhou would say such a thing to her in the end.
The only friend?
For the first time, Li Fuyue felt that what she did as a master was somewhat unsuccessful.
By the time he realized it, Li Fuyue had already taken off her sword tassel and given it to Meng Linzhou.
"Go back and listen to your master carefully. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't run away casually. If you hadn't met me, you would have died in the tide of fierce beasts."
This was the last sentence Sanxiu said to Meng Linzhou, and the traitor just tied the sword tassel proudly and said, "I'll think about it."
The sword light streaked across the maple forest, and Meng Linzhou and Sanxiu said goodbye.
After going through this incident, Li Fuyue originally wanted to relax the relationship with Meng Linzhou.
But fate didn't give Li Fuyue time, not long after returning to Tianmian Palace, he lost his temper.
This may be one of the most regrettable things in Li Fuyue's last life, he has not had time to be a qualified master.
…
Just a few months is really too short for a monk.
Li Fenglan did not expect that Meng Linzhou still remembered herself.
After saying that sentence just now, Meng Linzhou who was still meditating a moment ago suddenly stood up.
Not only did he stand up, Li Fenglan even found out that he also pulled himself up with spiritual power.
"What's the point of staying here? I'll take you out, the Zongmen is busy now."
Sure enough, Meng Linzhou was able to sneak out from Wenxin Cliff to wander the world back then, so he can do it now.
"No more?" Li Fenglan took two steps back, pretending to hesitate and said, "I'm worried that the disciples of the Law Hall will come to investigate."
Hearing this, Meng Linzhou smiled disdainfully and said, "No, they never care about Menxin Cliff."
The Immortal Master Jilv personally led himself to sneak out from here. This kind of behavior is not self-stealing, what else can it be.
Li Fenglan knew it! It is definitely the most unreliable thing in the world for Meng Linzhou to be the law-holder immortal.
He was disobedient to discipline, and hated confinement the most. Coupled with the fact that Li Fenglan was imprisoned here because of Lin Chaochen, Meng Linzhou's rebellious heart was immediately aroused.
If you don't turn back at this time, when will you wait?
"What are you afraid of? The sky will fall and I will support it." Just after hearing Meng Linzhou's words, the scenery in front of Li Fenglan's eyes changed from the stone wall of the Cliff of the Heart to the flowing clouds that kept passing backwards.
Meng Linzhou saw that the person in front of him was of low cultivation, so he forced him to leave here with the flying sword.
This is simply a crime of knowing the law and breaking the law!
Not seen for thousands of years, Meng Linzhou is already at the peak of the tribulation period, almost instantly the two of them left the Cliff of Menxin and arrived at the main peak of Tianshui Palace.
Before I know it, the sun has risen.
Different from the bare Menxin Cliff, the bustle here on the main peak is like another different world.
Li Fenglan saw a huge white jade lotus platform floating in the open space in front of the main peak.
The white jade platform turned slowly, and golden light continued to emit. The competition on the stage is in full swing, while the audience is full of monks from various sects.
Since her rebirth, Li Fenglan has been staying on Miguang Mountain. He was used to being lonely, but he felt a little uncomfortable seeing the scene in front of him.
It was also after seeing this incomparably lively scene that Li Fenglan did some calculations and found out that it turned out to be the day when the Zongmen Conference was held recently.
According to the novel "Taoist of Sleeping in Heaven", this sect conference lasted for many days, and all the leaders of the cultivation world were present.
It is only 1,205 years since Li Fuyue's soul disappeared, and those bigwigs in the cultivation world are naturally all his old acquaintances.
...Meng Linzhou, a traitor, really doesn't suit me!
Fortunately, he felt that this rebel had matured a lot just now, but he didn't expect that this bad habit of joining in the fun has not been corrected until today.
Just as he was talking, Meng Xianzun had used his spiritual power to cover up his appearance, and he stood beside him and looked towards the stage with great interest.
Li Fenglan felt that sneaking away from Yanyi Mountain yesterday was really the worst decision she had made since her rebirth.
But in the final analysis, Lin Chaochen, the unlucky junior, was to be blamed!
Just when he was secretly annoyed, celestial music suddenly sounded in Li Fenglan's ears, and he saw a fairy maidservant appearing in the sky accompanied by a black wooden boat from a distance.
Those fairy maidservants are all puppets made of paper talismans.
Before Li Fenglan could see clearly who the people on the boat were, a sense of coercion came over, making all the people standing on the ground bow their heads.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Fenglan's spiritual roots were all crippled, and she couldn't withstand such a powerful coercion. There was a sudden burning pain in his chest, but the pain didn't last long. The next moment, a hand was lightly placed on Li Fenglan's back, sending a little spiritual power to him.
"Cough...thank you."
Meng Linzhou said "Mmm" very reassuringly.
The ebony boat came down slowly, and this time Li Fenglan finally saw clearly the people on board.
He was dressed in red, and his facial features were exquisite and picturesque, but there was always a sense of restlessness between his eyebrows and eyes.
Sure enough, when you come to the Zongmen Conference, you will meet acquaintances.
It's just that Li Fenglan never thought that he would be the first person she met at the meeting.
—Cheng Du'an, the youngest son of the master of Mingxin Sect, the third sect in the cultivation world.
Li Fenglan also saved Cheng Du'an's life back then, before he went mad, Ming Xinzong used this incident to make friends.
Of course, only before the accident. After Li Fenglan became mad, Ming Xinzong ran faster than anyone else.
More than 1,200 years ago, the great powers of the cultivation world joined forces to lay down the God Formation to kill Li Fuyue. If he was serious about holding grudges, most of the people who came to the Zongmen Conference would be considered his enemies.
But only when she saw the man in red, Li Fenglan couldn't help scolding him in her heart.
Cheng Duan, are you happy being a thief?
Li Fenglan tried her best to suppress her anger, closed her eyes gently and recalled the plot.
Li Fuyue's body fell into the glacier after his death in the previous life. The river was too fast and could swallow spiritual energy, so it was difficult to find him for a while. The Mingxin Sect where Cheng Duan belongs happens to have a fairy artifact, which can prevent spiritual power from being swallowed by the glacier.
So even though he was not from Tianmian Palace, nor was he a great power in the cultivation world, he still took that fairy artifact and joined the team looking for Li Fuyue's body.
In the end, it was indeed Cheng Duan who found Li Fuyue.
However, not only did he not want to give Li Fuyue the last respect for him for saving him, he even had evil thoughts.
Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, Cheng Du'an dug away Li Fuyue's Dao Heart from Li Fuyue's corpse. Immediately afterwards, his cultivation base skyrocketed, and the dandy young master who had never been taken seriously became a great power of the Ming Xin Sect.
But who would have thought that after stealing the Dao Heart, Cheng Duan had Li Fuyue's aura on him, so he didn't dare to leave the sect at will.
In order to facilitate activities, Cheng Du'an created a clone puppet to walk around the world, and that puppet had a drop of Li Fuyue's heart and soul in it.
So, the man in red in front of him is actually Cheng Duan's clone.
Li Fenglan will not let her Dao heart remain in the hands of others.
The old wounds of this body are hard to heal, and the spiritual root is completely abolished. If he could get his Dao heart back, he would be able to completely mend his spiritual roots.
If you don't take it, you don't take it for nothing, let alone this Dao heart is originally mine.
Although Li Fenglan had long ago decided to cut off the turmoil of her past life, she would just be a salted fish.
But this does not mean that he, who was once the number one person in the cultivation world, is willing to be a useless person for the rest of his life.
