Tian Gang Chapter 172: Cult (7)
Lao Dao's attitude was suspicious, but I had to stand on the same front with him.
The Secret Corpse Vein was very strong, and didn't seem to have any concerns about the Five Elements Vein. Perhaps, it was because Wei Qingcang brought them the Goodness Mirror and the Evil Mirror. Or perhaps, the Secret Corpse Vein was already so strong that there was no need to worry about it.
Three zombies...this is a terrifying power.
The old Taoist didn't seem to be afraid, and the number of empty talismans in front of him had increased to twelve. These light blue talismans swam slowly in the air, like fish. Of course, if these talismans were really fish, they would at least be at the level of great white sharks.
Although I couldn't figure out the Taoist's thoughts, I had to help him no matter what. So, I pointed my finger at the second red-haired corpse and prepared to chant the spell of Wanfa Mo Ni.
Good times will come after bad times, guard the universe!
The curse was uttered, and although the sound was not loud, it still echoed in the belly of the mountain.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side: The Basuo lineage controls the world, are they going to participate in this matter too?
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect the other party to ask me this question. After a few seconds of being stunned, I immediately understood that they were concerned about Basuo.
The Eight Ropes and the Five Elements have always been like this. If you touch them, it is the same as touching me! I felt that I was very impressive when I said this, but later I added: Everyone, please talk nicely. Practitioners, don’t always fight and kill…
The other side was silent. I looked ahead nervously, and kept an eye on the old Taoist priest. This old man has been acting strange recently, and I don't know if he will suddenly throw the talisman at someone.
Since the descendant of the Eight Ropes lineage has spoken, we, the Secret Corpse Lineage, must naturally give him some respect. A voice came from the other side again: But that stone beast is very important to the Corpse Farm, and the Five Elements lineage needs to take out something in exchange.
In this case, I will first settle the grudge of the attack. The old Taoist then spoke.
The twelve empty symbols slowly rotated, and finally slowly connected together, turning into a giant blue sword.
The old Taoist held the seal in his hand and said in a deep voice: I will use my lifelong power to kill the three of you, and when the origin of the Five Classics comes out, I will destroy your Heavenly Corpse Vein!
A cold snort came from the other side, but it immediately fell silent. Then someone said: Why should the master press us so hard? If we both take a step back, the world will naturally be more open.
I have never retreated a step. The old Taoist priest replied, his tone was firm and he had no intention of giving in. This made me feel very depressed. What is this old Taoist priest doing?
The giant blue sword continuously emits a hazy light and looks extremely beautiful, but no one knows how powerful this sword will be when it is swung.
The old Taoist priest was obviously not going to talk any more. The blue giant sword composed of twelve spells sank slightly and aimed at the two zombies in front. He changed the seals in his hands and chanted softly: The five elements of heaven and earth, with Tao as the spirit! Tao one, living soul!
The blue light on the giant sword suddenly became brighter, and it was a bit dazzling in the dark mountain. The blue light flowed like liquid, gathering towards the hilt. I was surprised to see that the blue light on the hilt eventually slowly turned into a hand.
This hand was made of blue light, only a shape, and looked beautiful and weak. But at the moment when this hand grasped the hilt of the sword, a gust of wind blew out of thin air and swept across the entire mountain belly. The light of the green ghost corpse suddenly lit up, while the red-haired corpse bent its body slightly, as if ready to pounce at any time.
The old Taoist's body trembled slightly. Under the blue light, I saw that his face was solemn, but he looked exhausted. It was obvious that this spell was beyond his ability.
Even the old Taoist priests cannot easily perform the Taoist magic, so you can imagine how powerful it is!
Are you really going to be the enemy of my secret corpse vein? A voice came from the other side.
I, the Five Elements, will not accept any threats, and I will take the stone beast too! The old Taoist priest replied.
Blue light continued to emerge from the empty symbol and continued to gather towards the hilt. The hand holding the hilt also gradually lengthened, and now it was in the shape of a forearm.
Could it be that this kind of spell uses the power of Taoism to create a living being out of thin air?
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. How much power would be needed to accomplish this, and the old Taoist priest was only able to move his forearm and was already trembling all over...
Even so, the might of the giant sword was beyond everyone's imagination. The sword was less than three meters long and less than half a foot wide, but it gave people the illusion that a single strike of the sword would be enough to split the world.
The three zombies on the opposite side all had different movements. Even though they didn't have human intelligence, they instinctively felt the threat. Just like the zombie that had been raised on the ground, it would flee as soon as it fell into the trap instead of confronting the Taoist master.
This time, I have recorded the revenge of the attack...
The green ghost corpse suddenly disappeared from the spot. I was shocked and was about to remind the old Taoist, but I heard a scream from the opposite side. The sound stopped halfway through the scream. The one-armed red-haired corpse turned around and was about to attack, but the other red-haired corpse in front of it opened its mouth slightly and let out a low roar. The one-armed red-haired corpse immediately stopped where it was and did not move.
The grudge has been settled. If the master wants to take the stone beast away, he must give us an explanation. A voice came from the other side again.
The three words "astonishment", "surprise" and "astonishment" are the words I use most frequently recently.
It’s not that I’m short of words, but at that time, only these three words can express my feelings in the simplest and most direct way.
What surprised me the most at that time was not the other party's concession, but their emphasis on this corpse-raising ground. Because in the corpse-raising ground, they even killed their own people, and killed them without hesitation.
Practitioners are all ruthless and cruel. What they are most obsessed with is not their personal power. Because no matter whether it is the Tianshi lineage or the Zhou family, or the countless lineages that were completely destroyed in the underworld, what they pursue is to take the power of the entire lineage to a higher level. Even if he is a corpse embalmer, he is also for the purpose of rebuilding the corpse lineage and making the entire lineage stand at the top of the world. The incarnation of Yama is not to control reincarnation and become a ghost or god more powerful than humans.
No one here does anything for personal gain. All their ideas, persistence, and recklessness are based on the premise that their clan can become strong.
This is a kind of unity, a team spirit that should be supported, because for the sake of the clan, they can sacrifice themselves without hesitation, but at the same time, they can also sacrifice their companions without mercy.
Should I praise them or disparage them?
I looked at the old Taoist priest, he was the only one left with the Five Elements Meridian.
In order to save his junior fellow apprentice, he could sacrifice the innocence , but it brought unbearable pain to everyone. This is selfish and ruthless. In the final analysis, the old Taoist is not much different from these people. The only difference is that, because he is only one person, I don't know if he will sacrifice others to protect the interests of the clan when faced with the most dangerous situation.
My impression of spiritual practice was once again profound, but I was also more confused.
As the contemporary successor of Basuo, do I have to be like them?
I suddenly thought of my extremely cold-hearted mother. Was she like this too? To the point where even family affection was nothing?
Two different concepts began to conflict in my mind again.
The cruelty of the Secret Corpse Vein did not seem to surprise the old Taoist. After a moment of silence, he said: What do you need?
The Taoist priest is not an unreasonable person, he is just too overbearing. It can also be said that he has no idea about social skills and interpersonal relationships.
Perhaps, the spiritual practice circle is suitable for such people.
Laodao’s concession…it can’t really be called a concession. In short, his words made the other party start to think.
The green ghost corpse appeared again at the original position. It was obvious that the other party had not completely relaxed its vigilance. In addition to thinking, it was also very important to protect oneself.
We need Wood Spirit Pill. The other party spoke.
No. The Taoist priest refused without hesitation.
This did not surprise the other party, and they immediately said: Taking out the stone beast will cause huge losses to the corpse-raising land. The natural blessed land here can cultivate three heavenly corpses.
The other party's words came to an end here, and the old Taoist did not respond. After a while, the other party continued: If the master really cannot compensate , then we want you to make a large formation to gather the surrounding spiritual energy and speed up the formation of the three Tianyang corpses.
This will completely destroy Denglong Peak, the old Taoist priest replied.
But this has nothing to do with the master. The other party immediately said: If the master is willing, you can take out the stone beast, if not...
I can take out another stone beast as a replacement, said the old Taoist priest.
Oh? This was somewhat unexpected to the other party. After half a minute of silence, they said: If the master really has a stone beast that can be replaced, please bring it out.
The Taoist priest has another stone beast? I was a little confused, but then I remembered that when the Three Veins were planning to advance into the Central Plains, they invited the Taoist priest to help, and the reward was a stone beast. Of course, although the Three Veins’ purpose was to trick the Zhou family, the stone beast was still given to the Taoist priest.
"Okay." The old Taoist responded, then released the seal in his hand, fumbled in his sleeves for a while, and took out a stone beast.
This stone beast looked like a flying wild horse, except that it had two long sharp horns on its head, which made it look out of place. The old Taoist waved his hand and threw the stone beast to the other side.
The green ghost corpse flashed by, and soon a voice came from the other side: It seems that the master has already made preparations...
No need to say more, take out the stone beast. The old Taoist said, pinching the seal in his hand again. Although he gave the goods first, the other party wanted to rob him without paying...
The other party did not hesitate, and the green ghost corpse flashed to a position to the west, with something in its hand. Without seeing it make any movement, the thing automatically floated over here.
Compared to the red-haired corpse, I am more afraid of the green ghost corpse. Because the red-haired corpse seems to be similar to the ground-raising corpse. Although it has its own unique features, it relies on powerful physical attacks. The green ghost corpse is different. Its movement method is like teleportation, which is definitely the best weapon for killing. No one knows where it will appear the next moment after it disappears.
The old Taoist may be able to see it, otherwise, the other party would have sent the green ghost corpses to eliminate us like pests.
The blue light of the giant sword illuminated the face of the creature. I took a look and was a little surprised because the stone beast was too big and its shape was similar to that of a human.
However, he seemed to have been cut in half, with only his upper body sealed in the stone.
