Tian Gang Chapter 178: Wind in the Building (2)
Today is the sixth day, and the Taoist priest still hasn't returned.
This makes me even more worried. The speed of the shrinking technique is unmatched in the world. Even if we want to find out the origin of the black pearl, it shouldn't take so many days, right?
Given his experienced character, would the origin of the black pearl be more important than finding the stone beast?
Maybe, because the cultists holding the black pearl attacked him, which was tantamount to disrespecting the Five Elements. But I don't believe that the old Taoist would go looking for trouble with the cult because of this, intending to uproot this cult that the whole world is looking for. That's too unrealistic.
I wanted to use the Underworld Jade Pendant to find out his whereabouts, but I was afraid that someone would come to cause trouble. What if the Underworld Jade Pendant used up all my Taoist power...
All the entanglements made me dizzy and my heart was getting more and more suffocated.
More and more practitioners came in the past few days, and when the number exceeded a certain level, some brave ones even broke in directly. Although they did not take action, their provocative eyes still made people furious.
Liao Xianer was a little startled, and sometimes the look in her eyes when she looked at me became complicated.
I know she is also conflicted.
What should I do? I can't contact my uncle and his family. The little beauty next to me looked at the strangers walking back and forth outside the door and occasionally looking into the house. These people were usually expelled by the security guards in a very short time. But not long after, they would come back again.
The security guards near the villa were all sent by Elder Liao, and they had some understanding of cultivators. They knew very well that it would be impossible to use the same methods to deal with ordinary people to deal with these cultivators.
Therefore, now we can only use secular laws to force the other party to leave temporarily.
I don’t know…but you’ll be fine, they just come to me.
Why don't you contact your mother? She is so powerful... The little beauty looked at me puzzledly.
She is too cold, even if I find her, it may not be useful. I sighed and said: Besides, I don't know what to say to her. Should I ask her to help because someone wants to cause trouble for me? I am an adult man...
Come on, I don't know what's the use of a grown man like you. The little beauty snorted disdainfully, she thought for a while, and said: Otherwise, you can leave first. When the old man comes, I will ask him to find you.
Where should I go? My power is limited. There are so many people here. When I run out of power and show up, I will be a lamb to be slaughtered. I shook my head and rejected her proposal: So, I might as well stay here and wait for the old Taoist to come back before making plans. At least in the city, they dare not act openly.
That’s right... The beautiful girl nodded in understanding, but then she said: Don’t you find it strange?
What's weird?
People! The little beauty yelled at me: Don’t you think it’s strange that so many people suddenly come to see you?
It's not surprising. If my mother really deliberately harmed those people in the underworld, then it's normal for them to seek revenge on me, the descendant of the Eight Ropes. What's more, the cult was arresting people everywhere, and she actually went to protect the leader of the cult. It's really... I'm speechless.
That's why it's strange. The little beauty said: Why don't they go directly to your mother, but come to you?
Because I'm easy to bully...
No matter how easy it is to bully her, it's useless to arrest you. Do you want to use you to force her out?
Otherwise... they can't force me to buy groceries for them. I responded unhappily.
Come on, are you a pig? The little beauty jumped up angrily: Even if I really caught you and forced her out, why does the whole world know that you are here?
Maybe someone figured out my location and told others. One person told ten people, ten people told a hundred people…
Right, so the question is, who figured out your location and told all the practitioners in the world ? Don't you think that someone is deliberately playing tricks behind this?
Uh... I thought about it and shook my head: Isn't this normal? They may feel that their own family is not enough, so they drag others into the water.
Just to catch you? You think too highly of yourself. The beautiful girl rolled her eyes and said: Practitioners never invade secular cities on a large scale, unless the two sides want to fight a war to the death.
That's impossible... I retorted subconsciously.
Right, so isn't it strange that they took such a big risk for you? If they wanted to capture you, the Ling family could have used ordinary methods. They sent so many people at the beginning...but they didn't touch you, but warned you instead. Don't you think it's strange?
Uh... now that you mention it, it's true... but...
Don't ask me, I don't know. The beautiful girl interrupted my question directly and said: In my opinion, they have ulterior motives, and arresting you is just a trick.
Although the little beauty's idea is very conspiracy-theoretic, it does make some sense. But my mind is almost confused now, and I can't tell whether what she said is right or wrong.
Besides, even if she was right, what could I do?
Go find your mother and ask her what she thinks. If she takes you away, there will be no danger. The little beauty pouted: It also saves me from worrying about being beaten up the next day, which will affect my appetite.
This foodie... at a time like this, it would be fine if he didn't care about my life or death, but he's still thinking about eating!
But what the little beautiful girl suggested is also what I want to do.
The old Taoist hasn't come back yet, it's hard to say if there was an accident. If someone blocked him outside, it's normal. There are so many forces, how many can the old Taoist deal with? He's exhausted.
I couldn't wait any longer, so I took out the jade pendant on the sofa. Maybe you will ask, why not find a safer place, but in the living room. For practitioners who can go to heaven and earth, they can pull you out even if you hide in a safe.
With the experience from the last time, this time it seemed easy.
Soon, I found my mother's location.
However, this time she was not in the blue sky or the underworld, but in a room.
As soon as my vision extended, I saw her wave her hand, and then, the area within a few meters in front of me became pitch black and I could not see anything.
This is the detection field of the Tongming Jade Pendant. It is the first time that it is blocked. I was startled, and then I heard her voice: What do you want to see me for?
These five words were really hard to swallow, but since this was my mother, I couldn't spit them out, so I could only force myself to say: Many people, oh, all the practitioners came to find me. Because you tricked them in the underworld, and they couldn't find me, so they wanted to take it out on me to vent their anger.
I know about this matter. Someone is trying to do something sneaky. You should go back, she said.
I was stunned. Is it that simple? Won't you give me a solution... or come to me? And what does this mean? Will you help me resolve the crisis or just ignore it?
However, she didn't say anything else to me, but waved her hand to dispel my vision. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the living room.
She is so powerful that she can even dispel the detection vision of the Dark Jade Pendant... Of course, this may also be because she and I have the same roots.
How is it? The little beauty asked expectantly.
I shook my head in frustration, because my mother's words were so obscure and unclear that it was hard to guess what she really meant.
But one day I can be sure that this turmoil that seemed to be directed at me was indeed caused by someone wanting to attack her.
Who was it that was so bold as to even touch her?
But this is not something I can consider. What I need most right now is an answer.
How to resolve the crisis...
At this time, several men walked in. The clothes they wore were a bit strange, not very modern, and there were some decorations around their necks and hands.
The beautiful girl and I immediately felt as if we were facing a formidable enemy, because not long ago a few practitioners with bad intentions had just barged in so directly .
"Who is Yang Tianyou?" one of them, who looked no more than 30 years old, asked.
His tone was quite polite, which made me relax a little.
I am... who are you? I asked.
So you are the successor of the Eight Ropes… As he spoke, he quickly walked towards me with a few people.
The little beauty jumped forward and shouted: Who are you? What are you doing?
The security guards patrolling outside seemed not to hear me and just walked away, which made me feel depressed.
Oh, this is ... The man who spoke looked at the beautiful girl, then looked at me. He suddenly laughed and said: I forgot to mention that my senior brother's surname is Yang, and his nickname is Nianxi...
Yang? Nianxi? This name sounds familiar... I was stunned for a moment, but when I thought about it carefully, I suddenly remembered where this name came from.
You are...
That's right. He nodded: My name is Liu Yi, Master has something important to do and can't come for the time being. So, a few of us came first, and my brothers and others led the way behind us. I think it won't take too long.
How could you... I'm totally confused.
I don't know about that. You can wait for your senior brother to come and ask for details. Liu Yi then introduced the people behind him and said: These are all my junior brothers. Master said that apprentices...
Things... I was a little surprised.
That's right, that's what our master said when he accepted us. Liu Yi smiled and said, "Apprentices are like land to real estate developers. The more you have, the more powerful you may not be, but you will definitely have more development prospects than having nothing." So in our generation, there are a total of 27 brothers and sisters.
This time, we have seventeen people. Liu Yi continued: But besides us, there are other disciples of Lao Si, or some hidden sects. When everyone comes, you can follow us.
Go? Where to? I asked doubtfully.
Xiangxi... Liu Yi smiled confidently and said: As long as we get there, no one will dare to act wildly!
But outside... I looked towards the door worriedly.
Liu Yi shook his head slightly and said: It's okay, we will protect you, this is the order from the master himself. Moreover, the senior of the Five Elements Meridian is also on the way.
Taoist priest? Do you know where he is? Is he okay? I asked excitedly.
It's okay. The senior ran into some trouble and was delayed, but he was the one who notified the master...
Hey, I didn't expect that there would be someone else here besides me. A hearty laugh came from the door.
I looked up and was stunned with astonishment.
