Netherworld Chapter 106: Three Pulse Plan (11)
You... I was about to ask him what he was doing there, but as soon as I said a word, I shut my mouth. Because I knew that even if I asked, the Taoist priest might not tell me. Even if he did, it might not be the truth.
With one step, we immediately disappeared into the forest filled with the smell of blood.
The Zhou family lives in Guangdong, which is not too far from here, but it almost crosses half of China.
The old Taoist's method of shrinking the earth was the fastest I had ever seen. It was still daylight when we arrived in Guangzhou.
The Zhou family's mansion is located in the suburbs of Guangzhou. This is their real main house.
In the urban area, there is also a large building, which is their worldly property, used to hide their tracks and to accommodate their followers.
No matter how much the Zhou family has entered the secular world, they are still cultivators after all, and there are too many things they should avoid. Therefore, apart from the Zhou family, there are almost no other people in this suburb.
When we got there, we saw a lot of people surrounding the Zhou family compound and making a lot of noise.
Hand over the immortal fruit, and we will forgive the Zhou family for their alliance with the three veins. A middle-aged man with a gloomy face spoke up.
I've said before, the Zhou family didn't take the immortal fruit! Someone from the Zhou family spoke, it was the old man Lan who had met before. He said indignantly at this moment: My Zhou family went to the three clan elders and several elders because we had received favors from the three veins before. You obviously wanted to take advantage of the empty defense of my Zhou family and find an excuse to attack my Zhou family!
There is no point in saying more. The man who survived the three veins has told us everything. The Zhou family participated in the restoration of the fairy fruit, and the remaining two of the three veins were also snatched away by you. Hand over the three fairy fruits, otherwise, the Zhou family will give an explanation to everyone present with blood today. The big man from the Ling family's demon department who had been seen before stepped forward with murderous intent on his face.
This is absolutely impossible! Old Man Lan looked grim.
I looked at him and suddenly felt that Old Man Lan might not be lying.
At this time, an elder behind him stepped forward, his eyes slightly narrowed, and murderous intent pressed down like a mountain: If you want to touch my Zhou family, come and try!
Humph! With the current strength of the Zhou family, you want to be our enemy? You are overestimating yourself. A bald man with a dark body, explosively bulging muscles, about two meters tall, and a body like an iron tower, walked out holding a weapon similar to a Zen stick.
He moved his wrist slightly, and the countless tiny blades on the Zen stick collided with each other, making a sharp chirping sound. It was as if it was not metal, but a living thing.
The elder who had spoken earlier had a changed expression. He was not angry, but worried.
I couldn't help but ask the Taoist out of curiosity: What is the origin of this person?
The old Taoist explained calmly: Demon Zen Vein, Demon Lord Jie Mo, the leader of the three demon generals under the command of the Great Demon Lord.
Amazing? I asked.
Yes. The old Taoist nodded unexpectedly: This lineage only cultivates magic skills. Although there are not many people, they are all very powerful. Especially the great demon king, it is said that he once fought against Qinling Tiandi, and the outcome is unknown.
Huh? I was shocked. With such a powerful person, the Demonic Zen Vein was still making waves in the cultivation circle, so why would it come with so many people to ask for the immortal fruit?
After the battle between the Great Demon Lord and Qinling Tiandi, he disappeared within a dozen years. The Demon Zen Vein has never found him, and because of the disappearance of the Great Demon Lord, the magic skills have been lost. Although the inheritance of the three great demon generals is still passed down, it is not complete and it is difficult to show the former style.
Oh, that's a pity. I pouted.
Qinling Tiandi, I have introduced him before. He is said to be the most powerful person in the Qinling imperial vein for thousands of years. He once ruled the entire Qinling Mountains and wanted to kill the immortals to gain the Tao. But for some reason, he stopped and did not take any action. After that, he disappeared for no reason.
Anyone who could fight against such a person without knowing who would win or lose must be a strong man who is hard to defeat in the world. Perhaps in that era, the Demon Zen Vein was one of the few forces that could compete with the Qinling Emperor Vein.
However, the Great Demon Lord disappeared without a reason, causing some of the skills to be cut off from inheritance, and even the skills of the three great demon generals were difficult to complete.
But then again, how many of them have been able to pass on the tradition intact in the long river of history? Even the Eight Ropes lineage, which the old Taoist said was so powerful that it shocked the world and made ghosts weep, almost lost its inheritance. If the old Taoist hadn't found me, I might not have known about the Eight Ropes lineage until I died.
This is the power of time. It can create everything or destroy everything.
Some people say that during the battle between the Great Demon Lord and Qinling Tiandi, they both discovered a shocking secret at the same time. Therefore, they both retired at the same time to explore the secrets and find out the truth. The old Taoist priest continued: However, for thousands of years, no one knows their whereabouts, let alone what they discovered.
Is this just a guess? I asked.
The old Taoist nodded: Maybe, maybe not.
Just when I was confused, the old Taoist said: There is a passage recorded in my Five Elements Pulse Classics. The emperor emerged from the Qinling Mountains, killed the immortal and became a Taoist. The gate of the earth opened, the gods and ghosts came out, and the emperor conferred it.
What does it mean? I don't quite understand what this passage means . Records in ancient books like this cannot be interpreted casually. If you don't understand the true meaning, it may be very different from the intention of the recorder.
The old Taoist shook his head: The time recorded in the classics is too far away from now, and no one knows the true meaning. But if it is just a guess, the disappearance of Qinling Tiandi is related to the sect and the gods, ghosts and immortals. However, whether the emperor in the record is Qinling Tiandi, even my master does not know.
Hearing this, I felt even more sorry. A lot of history has been recorded, but we don't know the meaning. This is a pity, an irreparable pain. Perhaps, there are some things that we will never be able to uncover the mystery, because we can't go back to history and can't really see those brilliant and incredible things.
Everything may just be our conjecture.
At this time, there was a commotion in the Zhou family compound, and many Zhou family members rushed out, some holding magic weapons, and some holding guns.
This made me, who was used to seeing the law of the Tao, feel a little strange. But in fact, it should be normal to use guns in this society.
Modern firearms? Hahahaha… The fierce man from the Ling family 's demon department laughed, curled his lips, and said with disdain: We are all practitioners. When did we abandon Taoism and pick up this kind of ordinary iron? Some people say that the Zhou family is no longer a true practitioner. Now it seems that it is absolutely true.
That's just what you think. An elder said indifferently: Firearms are also a kind of power. Although they are different from Taoism, they can strengthen oneself. If they can kill people, then they are good methods. Your so-called evidence and statements have nothing to do with my Zhou family. We did not steal the immortal fruit. Although the three elders, more than a dozen elders and hundreds of disciples have not returned, my Zhou family can still fight some of you.
What a big tone! The Jie Mo Venerable of the Demon Zen Vein took a step forward and said coldly: I really want to see how powerful the Zhou family is!
The situation immediately became tense, with a large number of Zhou family members pouring out, aiming their guns or magic weapons at the surroundings. These people were dressed in modern clothes, mostly young people in their twenties who had not experienced too many hardships, and most of them had nervous expressions on their faces.
In a big fight like this, blood must flow and someone must die. Not to mention them, even I started to get nervous.
The old Taoist priest acted as if nothing had happened. He pulled a person over and asked: Has anyone seen Du Shengmai?
Who are you... The man was about to resist, but was glared at by the old Taoist priest and immediately wilted: Du Sheng Mai... uh, I don’t know, I’ve never seen it.
The old Taoist let him go, walked forward a few steps, and pulled another person over to ask: Have you seen anyone with the Du Sheng pulse?
Still no one knew, and he didn't seem to even understand what kind of power the Du Sheng Cultivation was. The old Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly, a sign of impatience.
The situation here is tense, and any unusual movement could lead to a war. I quickly pulled him back and asked in a low voice: Is it possible that Du Shengmai hasn't been out for many years and no one recognizes him?
This is very possible. The old Taoist sighed, shook his head, and then stood on tiptoe to look around. But there were too many people here, and he was not very tall, so how could he look around?
At this moment, someone not far away suddenly pointed at Zhou Jia and screamed: He stole the fairy fruit! Kill...
Before he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from a distance and pierced the man's throat. As he fell to the ground, holding his throat that was bleeding, a cold voice came from a distance: You talk too much, damn it!
Tiancheng, you... An elder-level figure was shocked.
Bastard! Another elder stood up and pounced, hitting the man in the face with his palm.
You Zhou family are really bold, you dare to kill people to silence them! Someone shouted, and a light flashed and slashed towards the Zhou family.
Under such circumstances, the Zhou family members naturally could not sit still and wait for death. They flashed their magic weapons and raised their guns. Several Zhou family elders hurriedly tried to stop them: Everyone, please don't misunderstand, don't...
A beam of black light shot out from the crowd and hit an elder's face. There was a flash of metal in the light, which was obviously a weapon driven by Taoism.
Some of the hot-tempered Zhou family members could not hold back any longer, and no one knew who fired the first shot, or who fell first. In short, shouts and screams, gunshots, screams, incantations, and attacks all rang out suddenly.
With the number of people in the Zhou family, it would be a bit useful to fight face to face, but it would be impossible to defend the entire Zhou family mansion. When the people surrounding the mansion heard someone shouting to kill, they were like a demolition team, tearing down the three walls in no time and rushing into the mansion. There were still many Zhou family members left in the mansion, and they had already made preparations.
As the saying goes, if a bunch of bugs come into my house and I kill them, do I need to notify the police?
A fight of great disparity in strength immediately occurred. At this moment, the old Taoist suddenly raised his eyebrows and pulled me up to walk away. The direction we walked towards was exactly the Zhou family's house.
As I moved forward following his force, I asked: What's wrong?
The old Taoist simply answered with three words.
I immediately understood that he must have seen someone from the Du Sheng Pulse. This made me raise my head and look forward, wondering if the old woman and the little beauty had come. According to normal analysis, these two people must not be here. Because the Taoist's imprisonment technique has not been lifted, and the old woman has no ability to move because of decades of poison.
However, Du Shengmai's appearance here made me feel surprised, natural, and a little angry.
With the foundation of the Du Sheng Pulse, if they came to this kind of big melee, they would just be cannon fodder, and they would definitely be the first to be wiped out.
No one knew what Tao Tiansong was thinking. He was just enjoying his life but had to come and join in the fun.
It is clearly stated in the ancient books of Du Shengmai that if you slay the mountain monster, take its essence, retreat overseas, and come back a hundred years later, there will still be secrets to fight for.
The mountain demon in the mountain temple has been born, but Tao Tiansong doesn't seem to care. Perhaps he thinks the fairy fruit is more precious than the essence of the mountain demon.
This idea is correct, but the power of the Du Sheng Mai... an expert once said that a force that can be defeated by an old Taoist alone is definitely not a big force.
Well, that expert is me.
