Tian Gang Chapter 179: Wind in the Building (3)
Because the tall figure standing in front of dozens of people at the door was Wei Qingcang who had not been seen for a long time!
Why are you here... I looked at him in astonishment.
Why can't I come? Wei Qingcang said with a smile, then he looked at Liu Yi: This is...
Oh, he is...
The master is in Yuanling. Liu Yi seemed to be answering a question that was not asked. He stretched out his hand and said: My name is Liu Yi, I have not asked for your advice...
Wei Qingcang.
The two of them held hands together. Although there was no sign of anything unusual on the surface, I could tell that they were both very surprised.
In fact, it wasn't just the two of them. Even I was speechless with surprise. Although it was unexpected that the old man Yuanling could come to help, it was not impossible. After all, he had met my grandfather before and had received favors from him. In addition, he and I had some friendship. Since the old Taoist asked him to do it, he must be sure of it.
But Wei Qingcang... the former head of the Wei family, the man who was reborn by fusing soul fragments with immortal fruit, why would he come?
The Secret Corpse Vein had just had a battle with the old Taoist priest. Not only was the corpse-raising ground affected, but they also lost a disciple. This is no small matter.
How come... the Taoist priest also informed you? I asked in confusion.
No. Wei Qingcang shook his head and said: I couldn't contact him, but such a big thing, the whole world knows about it, how can it be hidden from me?
But……
Why, you're surprised? Wei Qingcang asked.
Well, it was a surprise. I'm telling you the truth.
Hahaha… Wei Qingcang laughed a few times, patted my shoulder and said: Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, I just came to repay the favor I owe you to the Basuo clan. With me here, no one can hurt you.
Wei Qingcang is a very powerful person. In the underworld, he faced several ghosts that had not fully recovered alone. He was only injured, but he was still able to break out of the siege. Although Zhou Xuehai's Demon-Subduing Sword helped him, from the side, he was several times more powerful than Shen Lao who was seriously injured in the first encounter.
Moreover, the old Taoist had also said that he was no match for the opponent. Even if he fought desperately, he could not die together.
It is definitely a great thing that Wei Qingcang can come to help me. But I can't think of a reason. Is he really doing this to repay a favor?
Maybe I am too cautious...
The old man from Yuanling was an expert at playing with corpses. The Tianshi Clan that Wei Qingcang belonged to was founded on corpses, so he was naturally restrained. This can be seen from the fact that he deliberately made friends with Liu Yi.
Liu Yi accepted Wei Qingcang's advances calmly, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation on the sofa in the living room, and even I couldn't get a word in.
There are more strangers coming to visit me, which is related to Liu Yi and Wei Qingcang coming to Nanjing. But with them here, I don't have to worry about anyone daring to break in.
Tianyou, we have a plan. Liu Yi suddenly called my name.
Huh? What's the plan?
Among the Eight Ropeways, there is the spell of "Don't Look at Everything". You can use the spell to quietly leave Nanjing City. Liu Yi said, before I asked any questions, he waved his hand to signal me to wait for a while, and then said: I will ask my senior brothers to meet you outside the city. Once you leave the city, go straight to Xiangxi. As long as you reach the border of Xiangxi, the old master should be ready.
This place is still far away from Xiangxi... I think this plan has a greater chance of failure.
They are not coming for you, but for what you have in your hand. Wei Qingcang suddenly said: So, there is a great possibility that you can escape.
What's in my hand? I subconsciously looked at my hand, and there was nothing. The only thing that could be called strange was the Jiaoye in my pocket.
Although Lord Jiao is very powerful after going crazy, and he is also a natural exotic beast, it is impossible for all the practitioners in the world to fight for him.
As the world revived, some people noticed that the speed of cultivation was increasing. Wei Qingcang said: In this situation, some goals that had not been considered for thousands of years were gradually being raised.
What goal?
Become an immortal, attain the Tao. Wei Qingcang said.
What does this have to do with me? I don't have anything related to this. I was even more puzzled.
No, you have... Wei Qingcang said: And, it was taken from our Tianshi Vein.
From the Heavenly Corpse Vein... I was stunned for a moment, and then a light bulb suddenly lit up my head: You mean the half corpse? But now he is in... Ouch... What are you doing!
I glared at the pretty girl, who was like a mad woman. She suddenly pinched me from behind. When I turned around to glare at her, I saw that she was glaring at me too.
Hahahahaha… Wei Qingcang laughed again. He waved his hand at the beautiful girl and said, “Little girl, don’t be nervous. That thing was exchanged by a master for a stone beast, so it naturally belongs to you. Although we, the Tianshi Clan, are jealous, if we really wanted to snatch it, we would have done it long ago. In fact, the reason why I came to help you is that, except for your mother, I am afraid that no one else in the world can decipher this half corpse. So, returning the favor is one purpose, and the most important thing is that we, the Tianshi Clan, want to cooperate with you.”
Collaboration? With me?
Of course, you are the heir of the Eight Ropes of the present generation, and you will be the one to take charge of the Eight Ropes in the future sooner or later. Wei Qingcang said: So, I hope that after the Eight Ropes have solved the mystery of becoming an immortal, they can provide it to us in the Heavenly Corpse Vein. In this process, the Heavenly Corpse Vein will do its best to provide you with all the help you need.
I really don’t know the secret of that thing, and, the position of the head of the Basuo family... I hesitated to speak, and really wanted to talk to them, but then my mind turned and I thought, if they knew that I, the successor of Basuo, might be useless and couldn’t even get the position of the head of the family, would they just leave?
People are always selfish, and I am no exception.
There is nothing wrong with saying it, but I am not curious about the secret of Ba Suo. Wei Qingcang said: As long as you promise to provide us with the Heavenly Corpse Vein first after the mystery of becoming an immortal is solved, then this time, I will do my best to help you go to Xiangxi safely.
I didn't respond to Wei Qingcang, but looked at Liu Yi: Is this why you came here?
Of course not, we just did it because of the order of our Grandmaster. Liu Yi said: The Grandmaster was willing to order to help you because of the incident several decades ago. Our lineage has received the favor of the Eight Suos, so it is only right to return the favor. Moreover, there are also masters of the Five Elements involved.
I looked at Liu Yi, but I couldn't tell whether his words were true or false. I just thought of the free and easy manner of the old man from Yuanling, and I felt that he might be telling the truth. However, with what Wei Qingcang said before, I now have a skeptical attitude towards the purpose of others coming here.
The beautiful girl snorted and said to me: A mouse has to climb up the table before it can eat oil, so be careful not to get sold out.
Wei Qingcang laughed twice and didn't say anything, while Liu Yi ignored the little beauty. He looked at me and said: The master is on his way here, I believe it won't take too long. You can prepare and leave before all the other cultivation forces gather. We will forge a false image to delay time, but whether we can leave safely depends on whether the brothers and the master still have spare energy after coming here. If he still has spare energy, then with the speed of the shrinking method, no one in the world can catch up with you.
What Liu Yi said is what I am worried about. I don't know what held the old Taoist back, but after getting rid of it, he hurried here. When he arrived, he still had some Taoist power, which was very suspicious.
Although the speed of the shrinking method is fast, it also consumes a lot of Taoist power. At that time, we may face a pursuit, which will be quite dangerous. If we make a mistake, we will be surrounded by others, and how to eat will be decided by others.
How about I contact my uncle and the others? The little beauty said: One more person means one more chance.
The words of the little beauty are very touching. Although she is rude and unreasonable, after spending a long time with her, you will find that she is just not good at thinking and does not know how to be tactful, so she may never be liked by others in her life.
But because she is not good at thinking, she only does things according to her own preferences. If she likes you, she will help you without reservation.
There are only a few people in Dushengmai, and they can't help much even if they come, but it is surprising that the little beautiful girl can say such words.
Your uncle, you mean Tao Tiansong, right? Wei Qingcang interrupted.
What does it have to do with you?
I was sweating coldly as I listened to this. The beautiful girl would always say "It's none of your business". Fortunately, she shut up in time, otherwise, Wei Qingcang might have slapped her into a pulp.
Wei Qingcang smiled and didn't bother with the beautiful girl. He said: I think you should not contact them. Du Shengmai is busy taking care of himself now, so how can he have time to come here?
What do you mean? The little beauty frowned, her tone anxious and a little angry.
Before I came here, I heard that the activities of the cult were becoming more rampant. Small sects like the Du Sheng sect were naturally the best targets for the cult. So a few days ago, another person was arrested. It was a man named Zhou...
Uncle Zhou! The little beauty exclaimed.
Maybe... Wei Qingcang continued: He led people to find the lair of the evil cult, but was ambushed and all the people were killed. This also includes some other forces. Tao Tiansong seemed to have been stimulated not long ago and is now unconscious. The current Du Shengmai is like wheat after a rainstorm. Although it has not been uprooted, it is basically impossible to stand up again. So you want to contact...
Impossible! You are talking nonsense! The little beauty screamed: Uncle Master won't go crazy! He said that he would make our only meridian more powerful than the five meridians! It's all your fault!
The little beauty suddenly glared at me, and kicked me as if habitually: If it weren't for that little bastard of yours causing trouble, Uncle Zhou wouldn't have taken action, and Uncle Tao wouldn't be like this! If Uncle Tao hadn't been in trouble, those bastards would definitely not have found a chance to arrest him! It's all your fault!
The beautiful girl wasn't satisfied with just one kick, and she wanted to pounce on me with her teeth and claws bared.
I was already upset enough by all the mess, and now I saw the beautiful girl starting to act like a spoiled child again, and there were so many people watching. After all, I am a man, how could I save my face?
The long-standing frustration finally erupted.
When she kicked me, I dodged sideways and pushed her shoulder: Are you crazy? You are still acting like a shrew at this time! If you were not the only one who was not taking medicine and making enemies everywhere, how could you be like this? You are not vigilant, but you want to push all the responsibilities onto others!
The little beauty didn't rush over to me again. She stared at me blankly, her eyes gradually turning red. Before I could come to my senses, she suddenly burst into tears, turned around, and ran upstairs.
Hearing the bang upstairs, I suddenly felt a little regretful.
Anyway, she just wanted to help me, but I said such harsh words.
In fact, she is not much better than me. I am just neglected by my mother, but she is much more pitiful than me.
Some people say that strong people are just glass covered with cement. Once that shell is broken, the whole person will become extremely fragile. And now, the strong shell of the little beauty has obviously been broken by me.
