Chapter 753: Night in the Village (1)
The village built by Xiangman was extremely tall and spacious. Considering Lu Yi's current normal height of 36 feet, he could live quite comfortably there.
Huge rocks, logs, huge oil braziers for lighting, and totem poles standing throughout the village for both decorative and defensive and warning functions, the entire village is filled with a strange and wild atmosphere.
The air was filled with the strong aroma of wine and meat.
Standing on the terrace of the small building where Lu Yi lived, one could see that on the flat ground in front of the row of small buildings, dozens of strong elephant-barbarian men were sitting around a campfire, roasting a dozen cleaned giant beasts until they were golden and greasy.
Various precious spices that could be sold at sky-high prices in the Demon Suppression City and were very beneficial to the souls of the True Immortals were sprinkled on the barbecues in large quantities, just like free flour. The aroma of spices floating in the air made people feel warm all over, stimulating the soul to expand slightly.
"They are doing honest business." Lu Yi looked at the busy elephant barbarians and admired them sincerely.
If such barbecue is placed in the Demon Suppression City, the cost of spices used for one pound of barbecue is about three top-grade immortal crystals. But in the village called "Sanya", one pound of barbecue is clearly marked with a price of only fifty top-grade immortal crystals, or the equivalent of spiritual medicine immortal grass.
Based on the exchange rate of one top-grade immortal crystal for one hundred high-grade immortal crystals, this is truly a fair price.
However, these spices would be extremely expensive in the Demon Suppression City, but in this wild mountain, they were just like the "weeds" that the children of the barbarian tribe could pick up everywhere when playing in the wild. They only paid a little bit of insignificant labor, but they could get a lot of the food they needed. It was hard to say who made a profit or a loss in this business.
Except for the team of a hundred or so masked men in black and Monk Du Ku and a group of Blood Buddha Temple disciples, all the people who were traveling with Lu Yi gathered around the campfire, handing over fairy crystals in exchange for pieces of barbecue and bowls of liquor.
Oh, Tao Niangzi and the others didn’t even have time to eat or drink.
They have already erected several small buildings in the open space of the village, set up shops and started doing business.
There happened to be two exploration teams returning from the south, and they also arrived at Sanya Village before nightfall. The monks in the two teams had endured countless dangerous mountains for an unknown period of time. Now that they had arrived at this village with a very high safety factor and met such a group of gorgeous young ladies, their most primitive instincts were immediately aroused.
The flesh is smooth and the makeup is fragrant.
Impatient monks kept running into the small building, and from time to time, some people came out holding their waists, their faces pale, and their legs trembling slightly. At the entrance of the small building, a long row of buffets were set up, filled with strong liquor and barbecue just bought from the elephant barbarians. Tao Niangzi greeted the guests who had just had a great time with a smile on her face, and sold these strong liquor and barbecue to them at a 50% markup!
Lu Yi simply couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
The barbecue flat land is only a mile away from the small buildings. Tao Niangzi purchases goods on the spot, adds prices on the spot, and sells them on the spot. Surprisingly, her business is quite prosperous!
Many of the elephant barbarians in the village stood stupidly beside the small buildings, staring with wide eyes, looking at Tao Niangzi's speculation and profiteering in disbelief. They couldn't understand why these guests, whose legs were still trembling, would pay a high price to buy Tao Niangzi's wine and meat for just a few more steps.
With the sound of dull and powerful footsteps, Monk Du Ku walked slowly to the side of Lu Yi, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and looked at the elephants who were busy in the plain.
"Is there something?" Lu Yi smiled at Monk Du Ku.
"It seems that you are not a bad person." Monk Du Ku obviously had some social difficulties and offended people as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Yi laughed dryly: "Why do you think so?"
Monk Duku said calmly: "You allowed them to accompany you on this journey, which shows that you have compassion in your heart."
Lu Yu looked at him in astonishment: "Just like that, you think I'm a good person?"
Tao Niangzi, the private army of the big family, and the team of elite masked men, three teams stayed by Lu Yi's side and followed him for several days, going thousands of miles deep into the wilderness. The private army and the masked men were fine, as they were quite elite and moved very fast, and could keep up with Lu Yi. But Tao Niangzi's group of beautiful women was not so good, as they had countless problems along the way, and caused a lot of trouble, which slowed down their progress.
If it were someone else, they would have abandoned Tao Niangzi and the others long ago, or simply offered a high price and asked Tao Niangzi and the others to pay for their safety.
Lu Fu deliberately slowed down the marching speed and let Tao Niangzi and her group follow in the team.
"Brother Fahai is a person with true Buddha nature." Monk Duku said solemnly, "However, be careful tonight. That group of people has evil intentions towards you. I just searched the village and found that they are from the Hunyuan Luotian Sect. Many of them are patrolling around you... Do you have a grudge against them?"
Hunyuan Luotian Sect?
Of course there is a grudge... Lu Yi did not forget that he was still on the Daluo Blood List, and that the ancestor of the other party wanted his head by name.
As for prevention, Lu Yi had naturally taken precautions a long time ago.
He was curious about another thing: "This village is really serious about doing business... Brother Du Ku is looking around, why is that? Could it be that you want to make a profit?"
Monk Du Ku grinned, with a hint of murderous aura rising from his body.
"Buddha is merciful... demons and evil spirits cannot be trusted... If there is a way, we can help them to be liberated, which is also a kind of mercy." Monk Duku looked at Lu Yi seriously: "The greatest mercy to demons and evil spirits is to purify them completely, so that they can be completely away from the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the confusion of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness... What do you think, Brother Fahai?"
Lu Yi looked at Monk Du Ku in surprise.
Very good, this guy is really murderous, he really wants to wipe out this village!
"Is Senior Brother Duku the only one who thinks this way?"
Monk Duku put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name softly: "Of course, all the monks in my Blood Buddha Temple think so. Brother Fahai doesn't know my Blood Buddha Temple?"
Without waiting for Lu Yi to answer, Monk Du Ku said coldly: "Of course, I think they will not let us, a group of heretics and scum, tarnish the Buddhist faith... hehe."
With a few cold laughs, Monk Duku lowered his voice and said, "There is a large amount of food stored in this village. Brother Fahai, are you interested in joining forces?"
Lu Yu's eyes widened: "Murder and arson?"
Monk Duku said softly: "Save all sentient beings!"
Lu Yi was a little hesitant.
The Xiangman people in this village do business honestly... Although it is a bit abominable to build a village on a major traffic route and collect tolls, the alcohol and barbecue they sell are all at reasonable prices.
Killing and setting fire to people and looting money for no reason, this... this... seems a bit too much?
At the same time, in a small building nearby, a layer of prohibition sealed the room, isolating the sound inside and outside. Taoist Qingnang and several accompanying immortals gathered together, whispering about the behavior of Lu Yi and his group.
Several monks who were accompanying them were reporting the news they had gathered.
These fruit wines brewed by Xiangman were mixed with a lot of powerful spiritual herbs and immortal herbs, so they were very strong. Even if a true immortal drank too much, he would be unable to control his mouth. The people sent by Qingnang Taoist easily found out the details of Lu Yi and his group.
Tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, Taoist Qing Nang sneered softly, "I never thought that this bald thief Fa Hai could act like a city lord... Hehe, when the team outside the city got into trouble, he actually personally led people to search and rescue? Have you heard of such a thing? Have you heard of it?"
Several great immortals shook their heads slightly and sneered in mockery.
Taoist Qing Nang sighed softly, "That's right. I don't know how much the three Blood Waist guys gave him to get him to personally take action... Well, fellow apprentice brothers, he is listed on the Daluo Blood List, and the Grandmaster has personally ordered his life!"
"if!"
Taoist Qingnang's tone became extremely subtle and unpredictable.
"But I heard that he gained a lot in the gambling fight a few months ago." A great immortal hesitated: "Can we be his opponent?"
Taoist Qing Nang said confidently: "It is true that he got the Shenglong Pill from that saint and the ancient Buddha relics from that Buddha, so his cultivation is naturally very advanced... But, he is at most a peak Bodhisattva, right? He can't possibly possess the power of a Buddha."
Several great immortals hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
Taoist Qing Nang chuckled and said, "That's it. I have the 'Dragon Roaring Sky-Splitting Sword Ring' that I borrowed. This immortal treasure is the most precious treasure of our Senluo lineage. It is unparalleled in killing! If I strike with all my strength, it can have the killing power of Buddha level. With deliberate planning, I will definitely injure him severely, or even kill him... Even if he has some hidden treasures... Those elephant barbarians, what did they say?"
Without waiting for others to speak, Taoist Qing Nang said softly: "As long as enough benefits are given, these elephant barbarians can also be hired... Since they can be bodyguards, then being assassins is also appropriate. It's nothing more than a matter of how much you pay!"
He continued, "No matter how much it costs, as long as I can take off the bald head of Fahai the Pirate and present it to the Grand Master... the benefits that this merit can bring, hehe!"
There was a strange fire burning in the eyes of Taoist Qingnang.
In the room, several other great immortals also inexplicably felt a surge of evil fire rushing to their heads. They pondered over the words of the Taoist Qing Nang, and the more they pondered, the more they felt that he was right!
After looking at each other, several great immortals nodded: "In that case, let's arrange it immediately... Kill the thief bald and achieve great success!"
After a few more whispered discussions, the restrictions in the room were removed, and Taoist Qingnang and several great immortals filed out and went their separate ways. Taoist Qingnang took the large sum of money that several people had gathered together and went straight to the leader of Sanya Village, an elephant barbarian who was nearly three meters tall and was grilling meat by the campfire.
Diagonally, in front of a row of long houses, several monks in black clothes and masks were standing in a dark corner, alert to the movements around them.
In a room, several leaders were gathered together.
When traveling together, it is rare to find a place where you can be separated from the eyes and ears of others and seriously discuss some private matters.
A few days ago, in the cave, the leader who was marked by the magic light took out a fairy talisman and slapped it heavily on his body. Strands of clear light rippled all over his body, and waves of waves washed away the magic light in his body like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
This magic talisman is specially used to exorcise evil spirits and kill ghosts. It can also eliminate poison, miasma, etc. It is a must-have item when traveling in the wild mountains.
Although the medicine used to deal with this bit of magic light was a bit inappropriate, but under the flushing of this clear light, the magic light was washed away for several days and was obviously much dimmer than at the beginning.
"There's nothing to worry about." The leading monk said coldly, "We have received a reply from the spider forest. The Multi-Eyed Demon King, who is friendly with our family, has already replied. He has already mobilized people to help us track down that damned woman... In addition, he also promised to explain everything to the Wutou Patriarch for us."
"The death of the Jiutou Demon Ancestor has nothing to do with us. As long as we make things clear, with our family's connections in the wilderness, we will be safe."
The leading monk tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and lowered his voice: "Now, the only problem is that the Multi-Eyed Demon King heard that Fahai is the lord of the ninth city of Zhenzi, and they intend to... capture him alive."
"Huh?" The other leaders in the team looked at their leader in astonishment.
"You can imagine. These monsters and demons, if they are on good terms with our family, can bring endless benefits to both sides every year. If they can control the lord of a town, how much benefit can they bring to them?"
“Even…” The leading cultivator’s eyes flickered. “If they really control a city lord, then Demon Suppression Ridge would have opened a gap for them. Of course, this is just my guess. What do you think?”
"Should we do this or not?" The leading monk subconsciously lowered his voice: "If we are willing to cooperate with them and send Fahai to them... not only can the misunderstanding with Wutou Patriarch be easily resolved, but... we can also get a large reward. This reward has nothing to do with our family and can be completely ours."
Without waiting for others to speak, the leader continued, "This time, I am following the orders of the young master to pursue the daring bitch who escaped without permission... This kind of thing is not only laborious and laborious, but also has no benefit at all. On the contrary, it has caused so much trouble... If I take the risk and come here without any benefit, it would be... unacceptable!"
There was silence in the room for a long time, and a leader said quietly: "Everyone wants the benefits, but if this matter is leaked out."
The leading monk said coldly: "As long as we cooperate properly, how can it be leaked?"
Another leader whispered: "There are so many people in the team..."
The leading monk sneered, "The thief bald man from the Blood Buddha Temple, Wutou Patriarch will personally take action to kill him. Not a single one of Fahai's entourage will be left alive. As for Lady Tao and the others, well, their fate is predictable... As for the remaining group of people, I have roughly figured out their origins. They should be from the Sima family of the Tenth Town City... Let's bury them all together."
"This is a wilderness, the land of monsters and demons."
"They are just about to attack someone. Do you think there will be any mistakes?"
The leading monk shook his head slightly: "With their strength, they are very likely to capture Fahai alive without us taking any action... They want us to cooperate, just as a precaution. If Fahai really has some hidden tricks and manages to escape, we will become a burden to Fahai and it will be too easy for him to escape!"
"Even, find a chance to give him a hard blow!" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the leading monk.
Several leaders thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
A leader sighed softly: "After walking together for a few days, I can see that Fahai is a kind-hearted person. He doesn't patronize Tao Niangzi's daughters, but is willing to protect them intentionally or unintentionally. He is a good monk... Damn, in this world, good people don't have a good life! It's all his fault!"
The leading monk shook his head slightly: "Isn't it? Good people? Haha, there are so many good people in this world who have bad luck... Take that bitch's family for example, aren't they all good people? But what about now? Wait until we catch her and hand her over to you, haha... Who among you hasn't received the kindness of that bitch?"
The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
The group looked at each other, coughed a few times, and began to discuss how to become a burden to Lu Yi, and how to send Fahai into the trap when those monsters and evil spirits really started, so that he could not escape.
In Pingba, that team of elite private soldiers wearing heavy armor were also eating and drinking.
The Blood Waist guys had become acquainted with the leader of this private army, and with the help of wine and meat, they were drunk and talking nonsense aimlessly.
This private army, with strong cultivation, good equipment and good coordination, is the elite of the Sima family, the number one family in the tenth town. The Sima family has opened up a large mine in the wild mountains and has raised many miners who are mining day and night.
However, the mineral vein of the mine extended and connected with a mine owned by the Yao family, a wealthy family in the town of the 36th city... That would have been fine, but at the junction of the two mines, an excellent small cave was discovered.
The two groups' personnel stationed at the mine suddenly started a fierce bloody fight for that small cave. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured.
This group of people, all composed of elite True Immortals, were urgently transferred from the Sima family to rush to the mine for emergency reinforcement. The Sima family issued a death order, asking them to rush to the mine for reinforcement as soon as possible, and they must put down the arrogance of the Yao family.
This was also the main reason why the leader of the Sima family was unwilling, or dared not, to return to the town to dissipate the magic light after being marked by the magic light of the Wutou Patriarch, but continued to travel south. The family rules were really strict, and he didn't dare to waste time!
As for the magic light of Wutou Patriarch, although it was troublesome, the Sima family also had a certain relationship with some demons and evil forces in the wilderness. Anyway, it was not them who killed Jiutou Demon Patriarch, they just suffered a disaster in the fish pond.
Some important members of the Sima family had already rushed to the mine in advance.
As long as they can reunite with that important member, with the Sima family's connections, some misunderstandings should be able to be explained.
Lu Yi stood on the second-floor terrace, and could see and hear everything that happened in the entire plain.
After hearing what the Sima family leader said, Lu Yi was surprised and said, "I thought that the people who guard the city and the monsters and demons in the wilderness were incompatible. I didn't expect that everyone would be so happy together."
Monk Du Ku also looked in the direction of the elite private army of the Sima family. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "People are evil and wicked. They are all scum and can be killed... Ha, you have a 'friendship' with monsters and demons? In the war against monsters and demons back then, they would have been exterminated with just these two words."
Suddenly, Monk Du Ku was slightly stunned.
He frowned, clasped his hands together in a salute to Lu Yi, then flicked his sleeves, strode down the stairs, and disappeared into the darkness in a few flashes.
He and a group of monks from the Blood Buddha Temple did not live in the small inn built by Xiang Man, but chose to meditate in the open air on a flat ground.
Lu Yi watched Monk Du Ku disappear into the darkness without taking it seriously. His gaze went straight to Taoist Qingnang, who walked out of the small building and approached the leader of Sanya Village with a smile on his face.
Taoist Qingnang and the chief of Sanya Village whispered a few words to each other. The three-meter-tall chief laughed a few times, rubbed his long nose lightly on Taoist Qingnang's head, and led him to a large stone house in the center of the village.
Soon, the hundreds of crudely carved totem poles surrounding the stone house lit up with a faint blood-red light. Amid the loud cries of wild elephants, an invisible ban enveloped the entire stone house. No one knew what the Taoist Qingnang and the village chief had said.
"Hunyuan Luotian Sect." Lu Yi tapped the guardrail in front of him with his fingers and shook his head with some emotion: "I don't know what happened to Wanxiang? Tsk, what did I do to deserve your bounty and hunting me down? It's totally unreasonable! Just because I killed all your descendants in the lower world? It's totally inexplicable!"
In any case, Monk Duku has already reminded him. Lu Yu himself also felt a trace of deep suppressed malice from Taoist Qingnang, and he was already on guard enough... If Taoist Qingnang wanted to do something, then the ones who would regret it would definitely be the monks of Hunyuan Luotian Sect, definitely not Lu Yu!
Monk Du Ku returned to his fellow disciples, sat cross-legged on the ground, meditated and chanted scriptures.
After half a minute, he raised his head and glanced at a big monk beside him. A flash of blood light flashed in his eyes and a sense of telepathy surged. The big monk nodded slowly, changed the hand seals of his hands, and the whole person quietly turned into a very thin ray of blood light and drilled into the ground, disappearing in an instant.
A moment later, in the northern part of the valley where Sanya Village was located, at the edge of the spider forest, a flash of blood appeared, and the monk quietly appeared. He put his hands together and chanted a low Buddhist name: "Which brother can summon me with the secret mantra?"
An invisible and traceless Buddhist light restriction enveloped an area of a hundred feet in radius, and the Iron Shackle Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha emerged from the dense miasma.
The Dragon-Elephant Terma Buddha walked forward slowly, with Buddha light surging behind him. A Buddha statue riding a giant elephant and holding a dragon in both hands appeared in the Buddha light. He asked the monk in a deep voice: "Are you a disciple of the Blood Buddha Temple? How has Brother Sansheng been doing in recent years?"
The big monk raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It turns out that it is the Buddha in person. I am a disciple of Du Xing. I am honored to be here."
After a slight pause, Monk Duxing said softly, "There is no Sansheng in this world anymore, but I don't know if he is well."
The Dragon-Elephant Treasury Buddha was stunned, he raised his head to look at the dark, twisted cloud vortices of various sizes swirling around. Occasionally, a half moon could be seen between the gaps in the clouds, shuttling back and forth like a madman, constantly casting messy blue and red beams of light across the sky.
With a sigh, he said with emotion: "Yes, there is no Sansheng Huanmie Buddha in the world, and there is no Sansheng Senior Brother in the world... Well, has your Blood-Blooded Buddha been doing well in recent years?"
Monk Duxing chanted the Buddha's name softly and said slowly, "The Buddha can chant the secret mantra of our temple, which shows that he has a great connection with our temple. May I ask what the Buddha's title is? What is the purpose of looking for the Blood-Lining Buddha?"
The Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "I am the Dragon Elephant Treasure. In the past, I and the Blood-Licking Buddha listened to the sutras under the same tutelage. We are considered to be fellow disciples. In the past, when we fought against demons and evil spirits, we fought side by side and helped each other."
Looking at the monk Duxing, the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha said in a deep voice: "You don't know me. I guess you are the new disciple that Lixue Buddha accepted after he retired to the wilderness. You, give Lixue Buddha a message and tell him that I am looking for him to discuss something important."
Monk Duxing frowned.
A murderous aura surged on the face of the Iron Shackle Buddha, and a dark Buddha light emanated from his body. A terrible pressure suddenly imprisoned the entire body of the monk Duxing, crushing his bones and making them crackle, and almost crushing his body.
The Iron Shackle Buddha said angrily, "Little monk, why are you dawdling? Hurry back and pass on the message. You have delayed our important task. Even if I were to tear out your tendons and skin you, and burn your soul with Buddha's flames for ten thousand years, it would still be difficult to calm the Buddha's anger!"
Before the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha could stop him, the Iron Shackle Buddha used his right index finger to strike hard. With a bang, a dent the size of a bowl appeared on the right chest of the monk Duxing. The nearby ribs were all shattered, and even his lungs were severely injured.
Monk Du Xing spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red.
The Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha was startled, and hurriedly released a ray of Buddha's light, which repelled the black Buddha's light that enveloped the monk Duxing. He shook his hand and stuffed a Buddha pill into the monk Duxing's mouth. He pressed his right hand on his chest, and Buddha's light swirled in his palm. The sunken chest healed immediately.
Not only that, the Buddha Pill continued to release tremendous medicinal power, causing the blood and energy in Monk Du Xing's body to surge, and his golden body cultivation suddenly soared a lot.
The Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha put his hands together and smiled bitterly at the monk Duxing: "Forget it, forget it. This is the Iron Shackle Buddha, who has a bad temper. He has been feeling a little upset these days in this wild mountain, so he acted in a hurry... I am sorry for this matter, little master... Well, let me and the Blood-Lining Buddha settle this matter. What do you think, little master?"
With his eyes twinkling, the Dragon-Elephant Buddha said in a deep voice, "Young Master, please pass a message to the Blood-Lining Buddha. Tell him that an old friend from the Buddhist sect has come to visit and brought news about his former mortal enemy."
Monk Duxing stopped talking. He looked up and down at the Iron Shackle Buddha and said calmly, "Since you are an old friend, I will definitely inform you. However, Tumo Ridge is far away, so it is not easy to send a message. Thank you two Buddhas, please wait for a few days."
With a shake of his body, Monk Du Xing once again turned into a ray of blood light and disappeared into the ground, disappearing in an instant.
The Iron Buddha frowned and said softly, "This method is almost demonic."
The Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha said softly, "The Three Lives Illusion Buddha once said that good and evil, Buddha and devil, are all false. The Three Lives Illusion can only take one's heart. He is not the most powerful Buddha in Buddhism, but he must be the one with the most means... He even tried to reincarnate into the 'Demon Barbarians' to comprehend the innate magical powers of the demon barbarians... What are some magic means?"
"The Iron Shackle Buddha also knows that he has a bad temper... After all, it is not a glorious thing to injure his disciples before they even meet."
The Iron Shackle Buddha grinned and said, "It's not a bad idea to teach a little boy who is not even at the level of a Bodhisattva a lesson... Could it be that this Sansheng... No, this Lixue Buddha would turn against me just for a little monk?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Iron Buddha said softly, "I really don't know that the person you are looking for is actually him... Well, the Buddhist rumor back then was that he had fallen, so how come he built a Blood Buddha Temple in this wilderness? Who is his mortal enemy? As a fellow Buddhist, how come I have never heard of him?"
The Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha smiled calmly and said softly, "This is a long story. Well, whatever, it will take some time for the little monk to deliver the message, so we can talk about it slowly."
As they spoke, the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha and the Iron Shackles Buddha raised their heads at the same time and glanced towards the sky. Two invisible Buddha powers surged, searching the void within a radius of ten thousand miles, bit by bit.
The geomagnetic field around them was surging and extremely chaotic, and the Taoist inspiration was even more turbid and complicated. The two Buddhas performed their magic but did not notice anything unusual.
High in the sky, a silver ball was floating quietly. On the surface of the silver ball, there was a layer of faint light, which perfectly concealed the existence of the silver ball.
In the silver ball, Gu Yuanyu exclaimed softly: "After all, he is a great Buddhist, so we can't be careless... Well, we must not feel sorry for the loss, so we should activate all the restrictions. Just keep an eye on that thief bald Fahai, and don't look at these two unless it is absolutely necessary."
With a few cold laughs, Gu Yuan said softly: "These two also took the initiative to come to our door. No matter what happens to them or Fahai, we just need to watch quietly and don't need to do anything else."
In the main hall, Gu Yuanxun and a group of his companions all had pale faces and blue lips, like human pupae that had been drained of their blood. Under the light, there was not even a trace of human energy on their bodies. They looked terrifying to the extreme.
But they themselves know nothing about it.
Even Gu Yuanxun's subordinates in the hall, seeing their master like this, acted as if everything was normal and did not feel anything unusual.
In other words, everyone in this silver ball has fallen into some abnormal situation.
But they themselves are completely unaware of it.
Far to the north, in the Demon-Suppressing City, beside the Ming Lake, on the terrace, Baidi sat by the lake, gazing at the lake scenery, tasting the sweet wine that was as red as blood, and chuckled as he slashed out a wisp of sword energy, tearing a few flying geese into pieces.
"You are all sacrificing yourself... You are dreaming of climbing up the ladder and reaching the sky in one step? Haha, where in the world can such a good thing happen?"
"Taiwei is born with deficiencies. If he wants to break through, he must pay a sufficient price... As for you... I will pay you a price for everything, including the families behind you. Ha!"
Baidi looked in the direction of the ninth city, raised the wine cup, and took a sip of the wine. A little wine hung at the corner of his mouth, and finally slid down slowly, like a strand of blood hanging at the edge of his mouth.
"White turtle, don't blame me."
"This is your life!"
A fist-sized ball of dim light floated up beside Baidi. In the dim light, a broken, strange-shaped treasure wheel surrounded by countless stars was seen slowly rotating. At the core of the treasure wheel, at the axle position, was a strange-shaped furnace.
The starlight was flowing, and wisps of gray air were constantly flowing across the air from the void. They were absorbed and swallowed by the treasure wheel. On the surface of the treasure wheel, a series of vague faces emerged.
These faces were roaring and crying, and flowed along the spokes towards the axle little by little.
Eventually, they were sucked into the furnace of the wheel axle bit by bit. A wisp of gray, dim, but faint, strange flame with a hint of starlight rose up and turned those faces into firewood, burning them away extremely slowly but firmly.
Baidi put his head close to the dim light.
A very fine wisp of smoke rose from the axle. He took a light breath, and the wisp of smoke was absorbed into his body, and his cultivation level jumped slightly upward.
This wisp of smoke is enough to rival his hundred years of hard training!
"Haha!" Baidi revealed an intoxicated and sinister smile: "This is truly a supreme treasure! What is its origin?"
His fingers gently touched the dim light, and Baidi closed his eyes and sighed faintly: "What can I do? The body of this treasure is in Taiwei's hands... If..."
After pondering for a moment, Baidi hooked his finger towards the waterside pavilion behind him.
A young man with a figure like a sword and sword-like eyes came out quickly, quietly and silently came behind Baidi, and respectfully said: "Master?"
Bai Di said softly, "Fa Hai has definitely entered the wilderness... If so, his City Lord's Mansion must be very empty. Do you think that if during the time he was away from the City Lord's Mansion, some evil demons had captured the City Lord's Mansion, kidnapped Bai Yuan and Yin Yuan, and sold them to the wilderness mountains, the territory of the demons and monsters, as slaves... wouldn't it be exciting?"
"It is indeed very exciting." The young man smiled: "What does Master mean?"
Bai Di sighed, "Then let's do it... As a father, this is not my intention... But what can I do... But what can I do... Only by letting Bai Yuan fall into endless disasters and using her as a catastrophe fire to burn countless sacrifices can we turn the tide, gather endless life force, plunder endless blessings, and push your master's wife to take the last step."
"If one person achieves enlightenment, all his family members will benefit... You and I are both family members, but your mistress is the one who has achieved enlightenment!"
"For the sake of one person's enlightenment, I don't care about a few small sacrifices." Bai Di said coldly: "Daughters can be reborn at any time, but the chance to achieve enlightenment only comes once. If you miss it, you deserve to die!"
The young man bowed deeply, his body shook, and turned into a faint stream of light and disappeared instantly.
Bai Di opened his eyes and quietly looked at the direction where the young man was going. He suddenly sneered in a low voice: "When one person succeeds, all his family members will benefit. Are you worthy of this? Haha, you are nothing more than a small sacrifice..."
In the dim light, some strange-looking faces of creatures gradually appeared on the treasure wheel.
Bai Di narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Sure enough, when Fahai went to the wilderness, there were wild monsters and evil spirits in the wilderness... Haha, more lively, more lively. Cause and effect are entangled, fate attracts, none of you can escape, none of you can escape!"
"Firewood, you are all firewood!"
"Sacrifice, all of you shall be sacrificed!"
Baidi stood up, threw down the wine cup, grabbed the huge long-necked wine pot, put it to the mouth of the pot, and swallowed the wine in big gulps.
The pot of fine wine was drunk up in an instant, and not a drop was left. Baidi smashed the pot into the lake, startling countless wild geese, ducks and other waterfowl, which flew away in all directions.
He lowered his head, and a few strands of long hair fell from his forehead. The hair fluttered in the wind, making the clanging sound of a sharp sword.
He said softly, "Forget it, I promised you. Tell me, how can I... turn the tables?"
It seemed as if someone was saying something to Baidi, but the surroundings were filled with a strange aura. Within a radius of several miles, the light seemed to have lost a layer of color. The Tao rhyme and inspiration in this space and time were all infected by some terrifying power, turning into an even more lofty and unpredictable existence.
It seemed that only Baidi could hear this sound, and there was no sound or movement from the outside world.
Bai Di nodded gently. He listened attentively for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "Forget it, let it be. It's not that I am cruel and ruthless, it's really... When I was in the lower world, I was also the supreme being who swept across the world and suppressed it for a while."
"When I arrived at the Liangyi Heaven, I was chosen by a woman to be used as a tool for reproduction? Haha!"
"And even more so, I deprived myself of the infinite luck that I had accumulated in the lower realm, and conceived the acquired 'luck spirit fetus', using her as a bridge, as a tool, to stimulate the rare treasures, plunder the luck and destiny, and use this as the nourishment for breaking through the realm?"
"Haha, you bitch are going too far... You are unkind, so you can't blame me for being unjust!"
"What do the great plans of the Dao sect and the long-term plans have to do with me, Bai?"
After mumbling to himself for a while, as if to muster up courage, Baidi gritted his teeth and began to chant a complicated secret spell in some extremely mysterious language. He even cut his wrist and poured his own blood into the ball of light.
With the sound of secret spells.
As Baidi's essence and blood continued to infuse.
In the ninth city of Zhenzi, Bai Yuan, who was drinking and having fun in the city lord's mansion, suddenly shuddered and felt a great sense of fear in his heart. Yin Yuan, who was playing finger-guessing games with Bai Yuan, also felt cold all over and had goose bumps all over his body. He stood up in shock and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that something is wrong, but what is wrong?"
A few days ago, affected by a strange force, many mistakes were made in Qingyang Mountain, the ancestral home of the Qingyang Lin family. Dozens of alchemy furnaces exploded, dozens of immortal weapons were destroyed, and some clan members inexplicably went astray, and some even died!
The Qingyang Lin family was in chaos.
Similar chaos continued to occur within many sects and families in Liangyi Heaven.
In the short period of time when the White Emperor was bleeding, millions of monks in the vast Liangyi Heaven died inexplicably, were seriously injured, or suffered various accidents for various strange reasons.
The radiation effects caused by the various accidents that occurred among these millions of monks caused over 100 million mortals to be shattered to pieces, and some people did not even leave a trace of their souls.
In Sanya Village, Monk Duxing returned to Monk Duku and whispered something to him.
Monk Duku frowned and sighed, "Are they those two? Well, they might be coming for this guy."
Glancing towards the small building where Lu Yi was, Monk Du Ku said softly, "We can't interfere in matters like this. Let the master make the final decision!"
Pulling out a three-inch long, finger-thick, blood-red vajra from his sleeve, Monk Duku quietly inserted it into his heart. The vajra merged with his heart, and a strange wave instantly crossed the extremely long void and resonated with several vajra in the distance.
Wave after wave, news of the Dragon Elephant Buddha's personal arrival and use of secret mantras to search for the Blood Buddha Temple was transmitted in this strange way as fast as lightning to the Blood Buddha Temple on the Demon-Slaying Ridge, which was located in a huge secret realm somewhere in the wild mountains and could never be found by outsiders .
Among the vajra that resonated with Monk Du Ku, the two closest ones were less than a thousand miles away from Sanya Village.
On the terrace of the small building, Lu Yi's ears suddenly moved.
He did not notice Monk Du Ku's action of delivering the message, but his powerful five senses detected the unusual movement in the valley outside the village - a large group of creatures were running towards them, with murderous intent rising and full of malice.
On the south and north sides of the valley, there are large numbers of creatures running wildly.
The total number is at least in the millions!
However, many of the footsteps were extremely light and subtle, as if the owners of those footsteps weighed no more than two kilograms?
But some of the footsteps were extremely heavy. Even though they were hundreds of miles away, Lu Yi could feel the vibrations of the earth caused by the heavy pressure, and could hear the roars from the cliffs on both sides of the valley as large amounts of rocks and soil were shaken off.
Lu Yi whistled softly.
Ah Hu and Yu Dian Hu, who were eating and drinking beside the campfire, as well as Da Huang, Caracal and Big Parrot, who were eating and drinking in the crowd, were startled at the same time, and they all raised their heads and looked towards Lu Yi.
Lu Yi made a gesture, and Ah Hu and others quickly ran back to the small building.
Xueyaozi and the others were still at a loss. They looked at Ah Hu and the others' sudden actions in surprise. Jingzhi said in surprise, "Brother Hu, what's going on? Uh, keep eating and drinking. After we're full, we'll go patronize Tao Niangzi's business... We've been traveling together all the way, so we've become friends. We should at least ask her to give us a 50% discount, right?"
Beside the campfire, those big elephant-like men suddenly raised their long trunks, which were like snakes, twisting a few times in the air, and their huge nostrils twitched violently.
The ears of the elephant barbarians, which were several times bigger than a palm leaf fan, suddenly flickered. Several elephant barbarians, who were more than two meters tall, the strongest and had the most acute five senses, shouted at the same time: "Blow the horn, pick up swords and guns, and prepare for a fight... Damn it, who dares to come to our Sanya Village to steal our business? Kill him!"
The high-pitched sound of the horn tore through the silence of the night. From the huge stone houses in all directions, burly and barbaric men rushed out, shouting and carrying various weapons.
In the whole Sanya Village, there are no more than two thousand elephant barbarians, but when they gather together, their momentum is comparable to that of thousands of troops. The thick blood energy gathers into a terrifying blood tornado, whistling straight into the sky, tearing a huge hole in the thick clouds in the sky!
The wooden stakes, each as thick as a water jar and seven or eight feet long, were soaked in grease. They were set on fire by a few barbaric men and thrown out violently.
The madly burning wooden stakes were easily thrown dozens of miles away and smashed heavily on the ground. The stakes shattered, and large and small pieces of wood scattered and burned wildly in all directions, illuminating a large area of the valley.
At a glance, a large number of strange-looking rats were leading the way, and large groups of strange-looking monsters and barbarians were running towards this side with big strides.
Some of the fast-moving monsters had already rushed to a position less than ten miles away from the village wall in the short time it took the barbarians to gather together.
'Whoosh!'
The elephants behind the village wall threw stone javelins violently.
A shrill howl was heard, and dozens of the fastest monsters were violently pierced by the javelins. Like broken dolls, they were carried by the javelins and flew far, far away!
