Tian Gang Chapter 152 Black Mountain Old Demon
When they just came out of the portal, Tao Tiansong and others were surprised to see me and the old Taoist priest, but they couldn't care less as the ghost claws were chasing them from behind.
Now the portal has disappeared and the huge ghost claws have vanished. They stopped, took a few breaths, and looked at me and the old Taoist.
Standing in front of us were a few older generation figures from the Du Sheng sect, but there were only four of them; the others did not appear.
The clothes of these people, including Tao Tiansong, were very messy, with blood and stains on them. Coupled with the embarrassing scene just now, it was obvious that Du Shengmai was chased here by some unknown creature.
Tao Tiansong straightened his collar, walked over here, clasped his fists and smiled at the old Taoist from a distance: It's a great fortune to meet a master like you here.
The relationship between the old Taoist and the only-born sect had been at a deadly standstill for decades. Although the old woman was now mediating, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated again after Senior Brother Du made trouble and the old Taoist came to beat someone up.
Tao Tiansong is a very shrewd person. No matter how bad the relationship between the clan and the Taoist priest is, he always treats us with courtesy, and it is really hard to find fault with him.
But the old Taoist is like a rock. If you hit him with one hand, he may feel hard, but if you lean on him with any part of your body, he will break your skin and flesh.
Therefore, Tao Tiansong's goodwill was not responded to by the old Taoist.
I didn't have much conflict with them. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, I could only bite the bullet and smile at Tao Tiansong: It's quite a coincidence. What was that claw just now?
I ran into some trouble, sorry to have embarrassed you, little brother. Tao Tiansong laughed, a little embarrassed, but avoided answering my question.
I was used to being ignored, so seeing that he didn't want to talk, I didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the other three people from the Du Sheng Pulse came up. Although they didn't have a good image, they were arrogant all the time: "Brother, why are you talking to them? Let's go back, get the stuff, and the world will be ours."
If Wei Qingcang said this, I might believe it, but for these people from Du Shengmai... forget it, it’s not against the law to brag.
I rolled my eyes. I have absolutely no good feelings towards these people.
However, the old Taoist was not someone who could tolerate this, and he immediately raised his eyelids and said: It seems that you have a great opportunity, I would like to learn a few things from you.
Tao Tiansong's face suddenly turned ugly. Before he could speak, the Junior Brother Zhou, whom I had met before, started to yell: Even the Eight-Armed Dharma King was killed by the Black Mountain Old Demon, but we were able to survive safely. Do you have the ability to...
Bastard! Tao Tiansong's face became even uglier, and he shouted: If you can't speak, shut up! Get out of my way!
Black Mountain Old Demon... The old Taoist priest was slightly surprised: How could you...
It was just an accidental encounter. Fortunately, I didn't go in, otherwise... Tao Tiansong looked regretful: Even a figure like the Eight-Armed Dharma King couldn't withstand it. The reason we were able to get out alive was thanks to the portal magic weapon left behind by that person.
Who?
He is the only descendant of the corpse-embalming vein. Tao Tiansong sighed and said: It's a pity that our only vein is weak. I thought I could absorb the essence of stone beasts in the underworld, but I didn't expect that the ghost messenger was resurrected and I almost died... My junior brother... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Where is the master going now? Do you want to come back to my place to rest?
The old Taoist shook his head: I have something to do.
Tao Tiansong listened without saying much, and said with a smile: "I still need more guidance from the masters. So, I will say goodbye here and see you again someday."
The old Taoist priest hummed and did not return the greeting, which naturally made the people behind Tao Tiansong even more angry. However, with Tao Tiansong's pressure, they dared not say much now, and could only rely on their eyes to kill us.
After the old Taoist said "hmm", Tao Tiansong bowed, smiled at me and nodded, then led his people away with the strange method of the Du Shengmai. Watching them disappear into the jungle, I couldn't help but smack my lips: They really dare to go into the underworld to absorb the spirit of the ghost messenger...
The Du Sheng Mai practiced by absorbing the essence of plants, monsters and beasts, so it was normal to have such thoughts. The old Taoist said: However, the Black Mountain Old Monster they were talking about...
Black Mountain Demon, is there really such a thing? I asked in amazement.
The first time I heard about the Black Mountain Old Monster was from A Chinese Odyssey. The old monster who could absorb people's yang energy was blown up by Elder Tang's cannon, which was a very funny scene.
The second time I saw the Black Mountain Demon was in A Chinese Ghost Story. Even the tree lady didn't dare to provoke him. He was extremely scary.
Suddenly, I heard the four Black Mountain Old Demons coming out of Du Shengmai's mouth. For a moment, I felt it was fake. Aren't they fictional characters ? How could they really exist?
The so-called Black Mountain Old Demon is not a monster, the old Taoist said.
Uh, a lot of them? I was even more surprised.
You can say that. The old Taoist nodded unexpectedly and said: But it is completely different from what you imagined. The so-called Black Mountain actually refers to a mountain called Youdu in the ancient Beihai. There are monsters such as black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes with puffy tails on it. The word "black" means black. Therefore, the monsters on the mountain of Youdu are all black. There is a black water flowing out from the bottom of the mountain, and it flows for thousands of miles. This is the so-called Black Mountain Old Monster.
Uh...never heard of it.
In the secular world, there are also legends about Youdu Mountain, but since ancient times, all of this has disappeared.
Why?
I don’t know, maybe something big happened in ancient times, causing these mythical mountains, rivers and humanities to disappear, said the old Taoist priest.
Uh, isn't there any record of the Five Elements Pulse in ancient books? I asked somewhat unwillingly.
No, after all, my Five Elements Meridian is just separated from the Five Classics, not the origin, said the old Taoist priest.
Well, I thought I could hear something. But this Black Mountain Old Demon is also very interesting. It is so black, and even the creatures related to it are black. Is it because it is close to the equator, so they are all tanned?
Bah! That's ridiculous!
Wait a minute... Did Tao Tiansong say that they accidentally found the legendary Youdu Mountain? I suddenly remembered this.
That's right, that's why I was surprised. Is there a road leading to the ancient world hidden in the underworld? Or are the mountains, rivers and humanities recorded in ancient books actually in the underworld? The old Taoist priest was also curious.
Could it be... I thought of a possibility, so I said to the Taoist priest: Maybe the underworld is the previous world, and the world we are in now is a new one. Just like a person's skin keeps growing and thickening, layer by layer.
That's a theory, but I don't know, the Taoist replied.
I laughed, and when the ghost claw came out, the dragon that had slipped into my pocket came out again, shaking its head. It looked at me, looked at the old Taoist priest, spit out its tongue, and went back into my pocket.
It seems that the world is indeed going to be in chaos... The old Taoist suddenly sighed.
I didn't know how to respond to him, so I just kept silent.
After staying in Qinling Mountains for a short time, the old Taoist took me back to the Five Elements Temple.
When I returned, the sun had not yet set. Looking at the familiar mountain stairs, I suddenly felt like I was home.
Perhaps it was because it smelled the familiar scent of the mountains and fields, Jiao Ye jumped out of my pocket and ran around happily, and soon it swam down the mountain stairs and disappeared.
I am not worried about its safety. Although it has not been able to transform into a dragon after absorbing so much dragon energy from underground, ordinary beasts want to eat Master Jiao... but they cannot do so without a good set of teeth. Even if they have a good set of teeth, they will be broken...
When the Taoist priest and I climbed to the top of the mountain, we heard the beautiful girl screaming: "You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small golden figure crawling quickly in front of me, and the little beauty was chasing after it with gritted teeth behind.
What's going on? Why did they start fighting right after returning home... I was speechless watching Mr. Jiao and the little beauty chasing each other everywhere.
The old Taoist didn't care about them and walked into the Taoist temple. He was alone and had nothing to ask, but it was different for me. Although it was difficult for Jiao Ye to be harmed by the little beauty, no one would have the heart to let your pet go when it was chased all over the world.
I ran over and shouted from a distance: What's wrong? What's wrong?
What's wrong? You're not ashamed to ask me what's wrong! The beautiful girl turned around and saw that it was me, and immediately ran over angrily. As she ran, she said: I can't catch that little bastard, so I'll take it out on you!
I was immediately confused. What was going on?
Before the little beauty ran to me, I chanted the Eight Ropes Protection Mantra and disappeared into the void. With this girl's personality, if she wanted to vent her anger on me, she would definitely not just kick me twice. I can't bear to be tormented by her with my small body.
You two bastards! Bastards! The beautiful girl was so angry that she was about to smoke. She cursed and jumped on the spot.
I approached her in the void, and then I realized that there was a very obvious mark on her face, as if someone had slapped her in the face with a dusty whip.
It goes without saying that this must have been done by Mr. Jiao.
My head hurts so much. You said, we just got home, why did Mr. Jiao go and beat her for no reason? Is it because we haven't seen each other for too long that he missed her too much and played the game of beating is love and scolding is love?
Unable to catch Mr. Jiao and unable to see me, the little beauty was almost going crazy and screaming.
At this time, I saw Jiao Ye sneaking over and biting her ankle. He ran away after biting her, which was the essence of guerrilla warfare.
Ahhhh! I'm going to kill you! The little beauty bared her teeth and claws, and pounced on Mr. Jiao.
Well, let them fight there. They have nothing to do anyway.
I entered the Taoist temple and came to the Taoist's room. The door was not closed, so I withdrew my magic and walked in. I saw the Taoist standing in front of a table with a wooden box on it.
A stone beast was placed on the table.
Eh… I walked over in surprise: This thing…
If it wasn't because the Tongming Baoyu sucked away the essence, then it meant that the stone beast was different. The old Taoist looked at the stone beast and said: At least, the ghost messenger is different from this stone beast.
It should be that the Underworld Jade sucked away the essence...
The possibility is not great. The old Taoist shook his head and denied it: Just like being frozen, even if you die, the ice will melt.
you mean?
My junior brother split the stone beast and it disappeared. Does that road lead to the underworld? The old Taoist said: The ghosts in the underworld have begun to revive, and this stone beast is intact. I suddenly doubted this answer.
