Tian Gang Chapter 193: Turbulence (2)
Yuanling is a good place because there are many snacks that I have never tried before. The Taoist priest is a rich man, and he doesn't care even if I eat half of the food and throw away the other half.
After Mr. Jiao slipped away from my room that day, when he appeared again, he was actually hanging out with the beautiful girl.
Seeing it wrapped around the little beauty's arm, I raised my hand to say hello, but it turned its head to the other side. The little beauty laughed loudly, looking gloating, and said: You deserve it for picking up things for no reason!
Quack quack quack…
Frog girl screamed in protest, and when Jiaoye heard her voice, he immediately turned his head and made a "hissing" sound. I don't know why, but Frog girl and Jiaoye are born to be incompatible. I think the reason why Jiaoye wants to bite it every time he sees it is probably related to the fetus.
Because the old man Yuanling and the old Taoist speculated that the huge amount of essence energy was thrown away because Jiao Ye's soul was affected by another will. And this will was undoubtedly Frog Girl.
But up to now, no one knows the origin of Frog Girl. How it appeared in the origin of fetal transformation and why it affected Jiao Ye to spit out all the essence and energy are all unsolved mysteries.
Seeing Mr. Jiao and the beautiful girl being so affectionate, I suddenly felt sad.
It would be fine if Mr. Jiao ignored me, but he actually hung out with the pretty girl. Was he planning to throw the jar into the ground? For a moment, I had the illusion that my daughter was being scolded by me and started to play with the hooligans out of spite.
Quack quack quack…
The frog girl followed me closely, but I often heard the croaking sound getting farther and farther away. Looking back, I saw that the girl was tripping over her left leg and struggling desperately.
Alas... We must find a way to improve the IQ of frogs.
I stayed in Yuanling for many days, but the old Taoist never showed up again after drinking that day. The old man in Yuanling said that the old Taoist was practicing in the room. I was a little worried, afraid that the old Taoist would go and cause trouble for those people.
The old man from Yuanling was not worried. He said that he and the Taoist priest had made it very clear that as long as they could get the information about the cult and the forces behind it, they could join forces with others to attack.
Cut the grass to remove the root, but be sure not to alert the snake, otherwise, many people will die in vain. According to the style of the old man in Yuanling, you can beat them, but you can't beat them casually. If you want to beat them, beat them until their faces are covered with blood and they can't find their grandma's home!
And judging from the tone of the old man's words, this battle is inevitable. Those people have brought too much humiliation to me and the Taoist priest. If a fight really breaks out, I really hope I can do my part.
But so far, apart from increasing the time I spend practicing the Void Bright Mantra, I have no other means to improve myself. The recovery of the Underworld Jade Pendant is not very fast, at least, it has not reached the stage of the fourth divine bestowal. And there are no stone beasts here for me to absorb essence. If I want to improve quickly, maybe I really need to go back to my hometown again.
Intelligence from the Wu Gu tribe began to trickle in a few days later. They had a large number of Gu insects, and they could control insects with insects, which was a very effective means of investigation.
Their investigation results show that the cult is distributed in cities of all sizes across the country. They use cities as their bases, and the more prosperous the place, the higher .
This is definitely not good news, because it would be difficult for us to attack in large numbers. Once the practitioners started a large-scale war in the city, the military would definitely intervene and would ruthlessly and resolutely eliminate everyone.
However, there is good news: the cult members are evacuating from the city and significantly reducing their sphere of influence. It is unknown where the evacuated people have gone, but it is certain that they are not in the city.
At the same time, the old witch brought me the news that I cared about the most, which was about my mother.
A few days ago, a great battle took place deep in the Qinling Mountains, killing and injuring many practitioners, and the one who fought against them was my mother.
The opposing forces were mixed, but they were all experts, and they quickly cleaned up the battlefield after the battle. If it weren't for the Wu Gu people's insects hiding all over the world, it would be difficult to detect the abnormality there.
An old man who was in charge of this news said, "My mother is so powerful that almost no one can defeat her in one move." There were about 70 people who besieged her, all of whom were experienced in battles. Even in big families like the Ling family and the Zhou family, they were at least elders.
Some of them were extremely powerful, and the Taoist methods they used were earth-shattering and powerful. If it weren't for these people guarding the battlefield, my mother would have left long ago.
The old man Wu Gu couldn't figure out the origins of those people, but what was certain was that they had a very long tradition. Because when they attacked, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were shaking. Although this was an illusion caused by a strange method, from this point of view, the other party had a great background.
It's just that they didn't really care about the lives of other people. Except when my mother was about to leave, they just stood there and watched.
The battle lasted for two hours. In the end, only about ten of the seventy people were left, but they finally managed to hold my mother back.
Gu, the Wu Gu tribe's natal clone, saw that my mother said to those people after the battle: Are you born to stop me, or have you become part of the same evil as them?
Those people did not answer the mother's question and left quickly with their people.
The mother did not chase after him, but stood there for a long time before leaving.
Judging from that sentence, my mother might know these people. Unfortunately, up to now, the Wu Gu tribe has not been able to find out what the cult did that day.
The cult is shrinking its minions, which is a good thing, because it means more and more places are becoming safe. But it is a bad thing for the whole world. It means that the cult has made great progress in what it wants to do, so much so that they don't even want to expand their influence.
About a week passed and no new news came.
Many poisonous insects were eliminated silently. Fortunately, those released were not natal poisonous insects, so they did not have any impact on the Wu Gu people.
After much consideration, the old man from Yuanling decided to let the Taoist priest take me home. First, we need to find out what my mother is doing, and then we can unravel the cult's purpose from her.
The Taoist priest had no objection to this. When he opened the door and walked out of the room, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this old guy didn't go crazy and cause trouble for others.
After leaving the house, the old Taoist looked at the little beauty and Mr. Jiao who were having fun , and then looked at the frog girl who was following me. After talking to the old man from Yuanling for a while and learning all the news in the past two weeks, the old Taoist came to take me away.
When the shrinking technique came into effect, I saw Jiao Ye leap out of the pool and crawl towards me in a hurry. However, it was a little far away from me and couldn't catch the flight at all...
At that moment, I suddenly felt guilty. Although Jiao Ye didn't want to pay attention to me, it was obviously a childish temper. From the time it was born to now, we have rarely been apart. Maybe I should have brought it with me just now?
Quack...
When I heard the sound, I was stunned. I looked down and saw that the frog girl had actually climbed up with her wings around my legs.
The shrinking earth method ran too fast, and I was afraid that I would not be able to hold it and it would be thrown out, and I would not know where to find it. So I used my free right hand to hold it under my armpit, but because I used too much force, the frog girl's face was deformed. Her two eyeballs suddenly bulged out, like a balloon that was about to be blown up.
After recovering from his injury this time, the old Taoist seemed to have improved. He took five steps in a row before stopping to rest, which was much better than before.
I asked him out of curiosity, and he replied that the dragon water made his body more vigorous and energetic, so he naturally looked stronger than before. As for his Taoist power, it did increase, but most of the essence was replenished in the wound, so the degree of improvement was definitely not as good as that of a healthy person.
This is a bit regrettable. If the old Taoist had not been injured at that time and had absorbed a large amount of dragon fragrance mist to become stronger, our safety would be more guaranteed. Before I completely take over the inheritance of the Eight Ropes, I still have to rely more on the old Taoist for safety issues.
Returning to my hometown again, I was not as nervous and excited as last time. We did not go to my grandfather's old house, but went directly to Grandpa Shi's house. I did not meet many people on the way. If I met someone occasionally, they would just look at me and the Taoist priest curiously and did not ask much.
I held the frog girl in my arms, with only a small part of her body exposed, so no one could notice her strangeness.
When we got to the house, I saw at a glance that Grandpa Shi was standing in front of the door, smiling at us.
You are here. He said with a smile, as if he had known it in advance.
Senior. The old Taoist raised his hand and clasped his fists in greeting. Grandpa Shi smiled and nodded, inviting us into the house.
It seems that I have been exercising well recently. After entering the house, Grandpa Shi looked at me. As he was talking, his eyes suddenly stared at the frog girl in my arms: What is this thing...
I don't know where it came from, but it was born with his little snake. The old Taoist said.
Oh? Grandpa Shi pulled the frog girl out of my arms with great interest. The frog girl didn't like being touched by strangers. When the little beauty wanted to touch it, this guy almost attacked it.
But now, it blinked its big black eyes and looked at Grandpa Shi, its wings swaying slightly, without any other unusual expressions. This surprised me, and at the same time reminded me of the giant beast in the underworld that had helped us.
This mystery has troubled me for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet Grandpa Shi, and I almost forgot about it. Now that I see him again, I can't help but be extremely curious. Watching Grandpa Shi playing with Frog Girl, I hesitated for a while, and then timidly asked: Grandpa Shi, the, uh, beast in the underworld...
It's like a clone of me. Hey, didn't you see it? The first half of the sentence was said to me, while the second half was said to the old Taoist.
I see, the old Taoist said.
Huh? This time it was my turn to be surprised: You figured it out? Then why didn't you tell me? And you said you didn't know him.
The clone is different from the original body. It only has the instincts of the original body, but no thoughts. The old Taoist replied calmly: So I don’t know it, and it doesn’t know me. Similarly, it doesn’t know you either. It just protects you according to instinct.
You are just cheating me! I rolled my eyes. I hate these cold answers the most. They are not humane at all. Speak earlier. You will die if you speak more! You don’t need to pay me to speak!
