Netherworld Chapter 73: Saving People (4)

I won't go with you! The little beauty snorted at him and said, "Mom, I won't go with him." He always abused me, made me stand at the foot of the mountain for several days and nights, didn't give me a drop of water to drink, and tortured me with Taoist magic. If I wasn't so lucky, I would have been tortured to death by him!
The old Taoist priest glanced at her, made a seal casually, and pointed at the beautiful girl: Imprison!
The beautiful girl's expression froze. The old Taoist priest walked over, picked her up and threw her to me: Carry her on your back.
The beautiful girl's eyes were about to burst into fire, but she didn't dare to get angry with the old Taoist priest, so she yelled at me: You dare to carry me on your back!
The old woman laughed, shook her head, and went out with the old Taoist priest.
Looking at their backs, and then looking at the pretty girl who looked like a wooden stake, I was so shocked...
There was no one in the room, and the beautiful girl became even more rampant: If you dare to carry me on your back, I will beat you half to death and throw you down the mountain to feed the dogs when I can move again!
First of all, I want to make it clear that I am a man, and a man full of vigor and vitality.
Secondly, it should be pointed out that most men cannot stand provocation.
The last thing I want to say is that this woman really deserves a beating!
I looked at her: Okay, I won’t carry you.
The smug look on her face made me wonder if she was born in the rain, so her brain was flooded. If I really don't get rid of her, the old Taoist priest will definitely not come back. Then when the Wei family returns to the house and sees her alone, they will do something to her.
So I stomped my foot, made up my mind, and reached out to grab it.
The little beauty immediately screamed loudly: "Ah! Ah! Don't touch me! Help!"
I feel like dying because of her noise, but I also want to kill her first. I am in such a dilemma...
Noisy, noisy, are you a melon seed or a chestnut? Noisy for no reason! Did I carry you on my back? I hugged you, okay?
You bastard! You rascal! Help me...
Fuck your sister, do you have a sister? If you don’t have a sister, save your sister!
How dare you scold me!
Did I scold you? I was kind enough to save your sister, to do good things, did I scold you...
Amidst the quarrel, the two of us left the room.
When I left the room, the old Taoist priest had already disappeared. I was alone, holding the little beauty in my arms, so I didn't dare to delay and ran forward as fast as I could.
The little beauty in my arms kept shouting: Put me down! Put me down!
I was really irritated by her noise and really wanted to be like Sun Wukong, carrying her to the 100th floor and then throwing her down.
The Wei family's guardian corpse is still trapped in the pit. The Taoism of the Five Elements is profound and mysterious. When I passed by the pit, I remembered the black tortoise I saw in the world of nothingness, which was very similar to the image in the legend.
In the ancient battlefield of Changping, I summoned the images of the Ten Kings of the Palace of Reincarnation, and the old Taoist priest summoned the shadow of Xuanwu. It is said that many legendary immortals, demons, monsters and ghosts can appear by casting spells.
I have heard of a scientific theory that nothing can come from nothing, and this is the law of conservation of energy in the universe.
If we look at it from a scientific perspective, the Ten Kings of the Wheel of Heaven really exist, otherwise there would be no Dharma appearance.
Moreover, we learned from Gamu that there really are ghost messengers in this world, and the Wei family was slaughtered by a ghost messenger, and their army was completely defeated and almost wiped out.
But why do we never hear anything related to it now? It seems that all myths ended hundreds or thousands of years ago.
I couldn't help but think of the murals that I studied with the Taoist priest, where a "person" who looked like an immortal fell from the sky and was discovered by the people. If this speculation is true, perhaps in an era that we don't know about, something earth-shattering happened.
Thinking about all these messy things, I ran to the gate with the little beauty in my arms. I walked out of the gate and ran back, and saw the old Taoist escorting the old woman back to the ground.
What surprised me was that the old woman who had been in a coma for decades was still quite skilled. She used the power of the old Taoist's legs to rush up and easily stood on the ground two meters high.
Hearing my footsteps, the old Taoist priest brushed the dust off his legs and asked: Why are you so slow?
I used my mouth to signal the little beauty in my arms: It was her who refused to let me carry her, saying that if I carried her, my life would be worse than death. So, I carried her back like a piece of wood.
You are the wooden one! Put me down! The little beauty frowned.
The old Taoist priest came over, grabbed her collar, and threw her out towards the cave like a frisbee. His movements were so cool that I broke out in a cold sweat. If the aim was not controlled well, it would hit the stone slab and she would report to the King of Hell directly.
Fortunately, the Taoist threw it very accurately, and the little beauty flew out of the cave screaming. I listened for a while but didn't hear the sound of her landing, so I guess she was caught by the old woman.
If you throw it to someone's daughter like this, you won't be afraid that she will come down and scratch you, I thought to myself.
Why are you still not leaving? asked the old Taoist priest.
I came to my senses and quickly said to leave. But how? The cave entrance was nearly three meters above the ground. It was not a big deal when I was coming down, but it was too difficult to go up. Anyway, I couldn't learn how to use the force to rush up.
What? You need my help? the old Taoist priest asked.
I was overjoyed and nodded quickly: Yes, yes...
A second later, I flew out of the cave.
Damn old man!
As soon as I flew out of the cave, I felt someone grabbing my arm. A gentle force came over me, and I spun in the air, then fell to the ground dizzy.
The old Taoist priest jumped out of the cave and landed on the side. The old woman who was holding me said with a smile: "Why are you so impatient? You'll fall down when you turn around."
Only those who can withstand the test can achieve success, said the old Taoist priest.
The old woman shook her head and smiled, patting my hands twice: Follow him, and pay more attention to your health, but you can learn something.
I haven't heard this kind of advice from elders for a long time, and I can even say that I have hardly heard it since I was a child. My grandfather has always had a terrible temper, my father is taciturn, and the relatives around him... Now it seems that my grandfather is actually my grandfather, and those relatives are probably just covering up.
Just think about the fact that I didn't even know that my grandfather was actually my grandpa, and you can understand what kind of environment I lived in when I was a child. In fact, I am more inclined to believe that this was my grandfather's instruction. After all, the Basuo lineage has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Chinese tradition is that only sons can carry on the incense. My mother is the only heir of Basuo's previous generation, so it's not too strange that my grandfather insisted on treating me as the incense seedling and calling him grandpa.
Bloodline inheritance, too many families have suffered tragedies because of the passing of incense. Thinking of this, the mood that was originally touched by the old woman's exhortation suddenly became very lost.
Should I inform my only son? asked the old Taoist priest.
The old woman said: "Please inform them, so that the brothers won't be anxious. It's not very peaceful there recently, it seems that some ghosts have appeared, I'm afraid that the brothers will cause trouble."
The old Taoist nodded, drew a blank talisman for sending a message , and sent it out with a snap of his fingers.
In fact, the old Taoist priest could have used the Earth-Shrinking Technique to send the person back, but he didn't do so, and the old woman didn't mention it. Both of them knew that the less they were involved with each other, the better, because the past was too painful to look back on.
Both of them are wise people. Maybe they made many mistakes when they were young, but now at this age, they can see everything in a more open-minded way. But sometimes, this is precisely a pity.
We did not wait in the house, but followed the Taoist priest's lead and walked towards the outside of the Wei family's house.
After all, this is the base camp of the Wei family. If they come back from Mingzhu Pearl Peak and see us, we will inevitably have another fierce battle. If it were just me and the old Taoist priest, the problem would not be serious. But now there is an extra piece of wood and an old woman around. If I split my attention to take care of the two of them, I can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
After leaving the Wei family residence, the old Taoist priest took the three of us and used the Earth-Shrinking Technique twice to completely get away from that mountainous area.
Afterwards, he took out the pill and swallowed it to regulate his breathing. Anyone else would have collapsed from the exhaustion of what happened that day, but the old Taoist priest persevered and has not collapsed yet.
His strength lies not only in his Taoism and martial arts, but also in his persistence and tenacity.
While waiting for the only source of blood to arrive, I had a brief discussion with the old Taoist priest. The topic of our discussion was, naturally, what to do in the future.
The corpse king refined by the earth-nourishing corpse pill became a test subject and has dissipated. The hatred between him and Gamu also disappeared. When faced with my question, the old Taoist priest could not answer it immediately.
Because he found that he didn't know what to do.
The lucky bag left by the master said that if he followed his heart and eliminated the corpses, he could find his fellow apprentice and fulfill his most desired wish.
But now everything has been done, and the whereabouts of my junior brother is still a mystery, as for his wish... let alone.
I returned to the Five Elements Taoist Temple to practice in seclusion. The old Taoist priest replied to me: Maybe one day, Junior Brother will come back on his own.
I had thought of his answer, but when I heard him say it himself, I felt a little depressed.
The old Taoist priest went back to the Five Elements Temple. What about me? Should I continue to follow him or go back to my own home?
We both fell silent, standing there like wooden figures more than the little beauty.
The old woman didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, occasionally looking at us. The little beauty kept yelling at the old Taoist to let her go, but it was like playing the lute to a cow, the old Taoist didn't bother to pay attention to her.
After waiting for about an hour or two, the people from Dushengmai finally arrived.
Among them were the man who helped the old woman out of the forest last time, and two middle-aged men.
"Junior sister, are you okay?" As soon as the man appeared, he immediately walked to the old woman and asked with concern.
It's okay, thanks to him. The old woman smiled at the old Taoist priest and said: Otherwise, if it was a little later, the Wei family's house-guarding corpse would rush in.
Thank you, Brother Taoist. If you don't mind, why not come to my Du Sheng Mai and have a cup of tea. The middle-aged man was in a magnanimous mood and bowed to the old Taoist politely.
The two men next to him changed their expressions: Master Brother, this is absolutely...
The only sect, with me as the leader. The middle-aged man glanced coldly at the two junior brothers who spoke: I know how to do things.
