Chapter 239

After the second time he noticed the smell, Shen Ruiling felt the familiar taste from the smell.

After thinking carefully, he determined the identity of the sudden foundation building friar.

However, since the skillful old man is their successor and cannot appear in front of the public, Shen Ruiling only needs to support Shen huanzong and meet him alone.

For the first time in more than half a year, Shen Ruiling and the skillful old man were looking at each other.

In Shen Ruiling's opinion, the skillful old man at this time looks older than before. He exudes a withered breath all over. I think he is approaching the edge of sitting.

Although something had been expected, now looking at the old face of the skillful old man, Shen Ruiling still had some strange feelings in his heart.

The road is ruthless. The friar is really too small in front of thousands of years!

On the other hand, when the skilled old man found that Shen Ruiling's accomplishments were much better than six months ago, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Look at him. He's one step away from breaking through the middle stage of foundation construction. Come on!"

The skillful old man was thinking secretly in his heart.

He wasted half his life at the peak of the early stage of foundation building. Now he can't help sighing when he sees a young generation achieve his achievements in half a year.

Then an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

……

Looking at the wonderful old man who appeared, Shen Ruiling smiled and asked:

"Miao Keqing, when did you get here?"

"After you left Yunbi peak, I followed you all the way, almost here with you.

I just feel that there are too many base building friars on that Lingshan mountain. I'm afraid of being found, so I haven't shown up! " The skillful old man slowly explained.

……

After a brief inquiry, Shen Ruiling began to explain the reason for entering the mountain.

"The people of Qingyun gate asked us foundation building friars to enter the mountain and pull out the dark mouth set by the bandits..."

After hearing Shen Ruiling's words, the skillful old man looked at the vast mountain and said:

"Do you want my old man to do the same?"

"Not for the moment. Now the war has just begun. I can handle it alone. Taoist friends, it's better not to show up too early. You and I still cooperate with each other openly and secretly!"

Shen Ruiling shook his head decisively for the old master's proposal.

After all, this is not the time for the skilled old man to make a move. Once someone finds out that there is a foundation building friar hidden here, they will start to be wary, so they will not achieve the expected effect.

"All right!"

Shen Ruiling said so, and the skillful old man had to nod and accept it.

"Well, for the sake of safety, you and I shouldn't meet for a long time. Let's part!"

"Good!"

With that, the figure of the skillful old man moved along and disappeared in the mountains and forests in an instant!

After seeing the old master leaving, Shen Ruiling looked around the snow again. Until she was sure there was no third person here, she turned and swept in the direction of Shen huanzong.

On the other side, Shen huanzong's three Qi friars quickly became vigilant when they noticed that someone was approaching.

After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling's figure nine appeared in front of them. Until this time, they were relieved.

Shen Ruiling, who came to the three, did not explain why she had just left, but said to the three faintly:

"Keep going!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Shen Ruiling's order, Shen huanzong and the three did not hesitate and immediately followed up.

After another hour or so in the jungle and snow.

Shen Ruiling found that the snow here has become deeper than at the foot of the mountain and has reached more than one person. Obviously, it has entered the interior of the mountain.

Shen Ruiling couldn't help doubting that he didn't find a secret entrance set by the bandits all the way from the foot of the mountain.

"Could it be that the bandits have abandoned the periphery of the mountain and held on to the white bone ridge?"

……

When Shen Ruiling stopped there to think, in an underground cave less than 50 miles from where he stopped, several Qi practitioners dressed like casual monks were discussing something.

I saw a thin young man like a hairy monkey slowly came to a fat middle-aged man and said obediently:

"Boss, the news just came from the ridge a few days ago. Let's take strict precautions and control the intersections up the mountain.

Now we lie in this cave every day, and even the secret whistle on the ground has been removed. If several masters know, they will take our skin! "

The fat middle-aged man was just about to have a good sleep. When he heard the young man's words, he immediately said with some reluctance:

"Hou San, what's your hurry! As long as you and I don't talk about things here, how can they reach the ears of several leaders.

Besides, it's snowing so heavily outside that the roads into the mountain have been blocked. Who will enter the mountain at this time? Don't worry! "

"Yes! It's freezing up there. It's not warm in this cave! "

A bandit nearby immediately agreed and said that he had to add firewood to the fire in the cave from time to time, so that the fire could be more prosperous.

"But..."

Seeing that the young man was still at ease, the middle-aged man said impatiently:

"Don't worry! When I was a bandit, your boy was still wearing open crotch pants. You must be right to listen to me! If you are idle and flustered, go out and cut some bundles of firewood and come back to make a fire! "

"All right!"

……

At this time, the four of Shen Ruiling on the ground have begun to move towards the depths of the mountains and forests.

Up to now, they have not found a secret entrance set by the bandits. If it goes on like this, it will be really difficult to make a job, so they have to move on.

After walking a little further, Liu Quanyi, who was following Shen Ruiling, suddenly stopped, as if he had found something, and quickly whispered to Shen Ruiling:

"Master!"

After hearing Liu Quanyong's cry, Shen Ruiling immediately came to him and said in a deep voice:

"What do you want me to do?"

"Elder, please look at this stump!"

Under his reminder, Shen Ruiling looked at the stump and immediately found traces of cutting.

This trace is cut down with sharp tools, and the trace is extremely new. It should be left in these ten days and a half months.

For a moment, the four of Shen Ruiling immediately thought that there must be monks living nearby, and there should be no other monks except the bandits on the mountain who can live in the deep mountains and forests.

"There is a secret entrance set by the bandits near here!" Shen Ruiling and the four immediately understood.

"Separate! Look around carefully and let me know if you find any problems! "

Shen Ruiling looked at the vast white world around him and said to Shen huanzong.

"Yes!"

Shen huanzong immediately ran in different directions and carefully looked for signs of friars' activities.

On the other side, Shen Ruiling's figure quickly moved in the forest, and Shenzhi slowly explored out and began to search around carefully.

After a few breaths, a strange scene attracted Shen Ruiling's attention.

I saw drops of water falling down on a snow covered mountain bag, and a fine white fog evaporated.
