Tian Gang Chapter 198: Turbulence (7)
I looked back at the bed. The little beauty was still lying there, and the frog girl was lying next to her with her eyes closed. This guy really knows how to enjoy himself, and he even knows how to sleep on the quilt.
I heard a hissing sound in my ears, Jiao Ye opened his eyes dazedly, licked my face twice, closed his eyes and fell asleep on my shoulder. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder I felt sore in my shoulders, this guy, he should lose weight.
But the most important thing now is not to discuss whether it is necessary to help Jiao Ye lose weight, but to find a way to find the Taoist priest.
Could he have gone out for a stroll? I asked.
Not likely. Yang Zongxu said: If the master wanted to go out, he would definitely tell us. Now he left without saying anything, what do you think he will do?
I sighed, because I also knew that the Taoist priest was definitely not leaving to join in the fun. The old woman's death had made him furious. It was rare that he could suppress his anger and not seek revenge immediately. In addition, he had been severely humiliated by those people before, and it would be strange for him to be able to sit still.
I should have thought of this earlier, because he had said to the little beauty in the room before: You stay here and don't get into trouble...
I thought that was just his way of persuading the beautiful girl, but now that I think about it, the real meaning is that you don't have to go, and I will take revenge for these grudges.
What should we do? Did the old man...
It is not appropriate to alert the enemy at this time. It is difficult for us to launch a large-scale attack before we find out all the details of the enemy. Yang Zongxu said with embarrassment.
I frowned immediately, but at the same time I understood the thoughts of the old man from Yuanling. At this time, it would be irrational to fight the cult for the sake of the old Taoist priest. What's more, the old Taoist priest and the old man from Yuanling are not close friends. Last time, so many people came to save me, partly to repay my grandfather's kindness to the old Si from Xiangxi, and partly to kill the cult's prestige. As for the old Taoist priest... he has almost nothing in common with the old Si from Xiangxi.
At this moment, I thoroughly understood the difficulties of the old Taoist priest. I never heard him talk about friends, because he didn't know how to make friends. All his thoughts were on finding the whereabouts of his junior fellow apprentice. He didn't understand the ways of the world. Except for the old lady and the beautiful girl, he was still a little passionate about other people, even me, strictly speaking, it was just a relationship of interest.
Alas... I couldn't help but sigh again. I looked at the wine in Yang Zongxu's hand, and heard voices coming from the yard, so I asked: Is someone coming?
You have seen the old chief of the Red Miao and the chief of the Black General Man, as well as the two old witches. Yang Zongxu raised the two jars of wine in his hand and said: They just arrived, and I was about to call you out for dinner, but I found that the master was gone.
I said "oh", glanced into the yard, then thought for a while and said: Then I'll think of a way to find out his location first.
You mean the Jade that can lead to the underworld? Yang Zongxu's eyes lit up.
I nodded, and while taking out the jade pendant, I said: It's a little different from before, I'm not too sure, let me give it a try first.
Yang Zongxu nodded and took a step back to make room for me. I took the jade pendant in my hand and thought carefully about what Grandpa Shi said.
My will is heaven, and what I want to do is what heaven wants to do. So how should I find out the whereabouts of Lao Dao?
After thinking carefully for half a minute, I had a rough idea. Then I held the jade pendant in one hand and pointed at the air with the other hand, chanting softly: Chengtian! Shadow appears...
The void in front of him suddenly trembled, creating waves like water. Yang Zongxu exclaimed in surprise, took another step back, and his surprised voice came: This is...
The joy and excitement in my heart cannot be described in words, because the abnormal phenomenon before my eyes means that I have a great chance of success.
The fluctuations in the void quickly took shape, and a blurry picture appeared in front of me. I saw a figure in front of me. He was not tall, not strong, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with messy, flying hair.
In front of him were nine empty talismans, arranged in the shape of a nine-square palace. Brilliant golden light burst out from the inside of a talisman, and for a moment, the other eight empty talismans were also covered by golden light, like nine golden suns.
The picture was a little blurry and kept shaking, but I could see that the old Taoist's robe was even more torn, and there were wounds of varying sizes on his arms, back, and chest. Blood was constantly dripping from the wounds.
The golden light was very dazzling. Even though it was just a virtual image, it still made people feel a sharp sense of oncoming attack. It was as if those lights were countless swords, stabbing at you.
This strange phenomenon even alarmed the old man Yuanling and the leader of the Black General . They stopped talking and ran over quickly.
When they saw the virtual image, they all raised their voices in surprise. Some looked at me, and some looked at the old Taoist priest.
What's wrong? A woman's voice came from behind. No need to ask, it must be the little beauty's.
I turned around and saw her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and tears were still on her face. At this moment, she was standing by the door, looking at the virtual screen in front of me, and she couldn't help but open her mouth: That is... him...
The little beauty's surprise was understandable, but I didn't have time to care about what she was thinking. Because the spell I was casting consumed a lot of Taoist power, in less than half a minute, the picture began to tremble violently and was about to break.
At this moment, I vaguely heard a deep voice coming from the picture: The five elements of heaven and earth, the great way exists in one! The Nine Palaces appear, the laws are passed on to the nine gods, and the five ways of Taoism are practiced!
Amidst the golden light, the old Taoist stretched out a finger, pointed at the golden talisman, and shouted in a low voice: Kun Jin!
The golden air symbol trembled slightly, and suddenly exploded with golden light. The light in the sky disappeared in an instant, but the figures in the distance, either rushing or fleeing, were shining with golden light.
At this moment, the picture in front of me shattered, and everything returned to its previous state.
I immediately felt weak all over, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground. The old man from Yuanling was quick to come over and hold me up, asking with concern: Are you okay?
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest." By the way, did you see where he was?
The old man from Yuanling shook his head and looked at the people behind him. One of the old men who was a witch hesitated for a moment before saying in an uncertain tone: Judging from the clothes those people were wearing, they seemed to be from the northwest, but it was too blurry to tell where they were…
Northwest... This is just like me asking how many stars there are in the sky, and others answering you that there are just that many. It's too general, almost the same as not saying anything.
The Northwest is so big, how do I find it?
I was frustrated because even if I succeeded in casting the spell, I still couldn't help the Taoist priest. The entire Northwest is not big or small, but it still covers millions of square kilometers. Let alone a few of us, even if there were thousands more people, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find him for a while.
He, how... The little beauty's voice was a little stammering.
I turned around to look at her and said unhappily: What else can I do? Of course I’m going to get revenge.
Alas... The old man from Yuanling sighed and said: I didn't expect his temper to be even more irritable than mine. He actually wanted to save his only son's pulse...
Not for the only person, but for someone there. I corrected him: his lover from decades ago.
Hearing this, the old man from Yuanling showed a look of surprise. He looked at me as if asking me to continue.
But this involves personal privacy, and the process is very complicated and difficult to talk about. So I can only say: This matter is too troublesome to talk about, but that person is her mother. Oh, anyway, I can't explain it clearly, old man, if you want to ask...
What old man? Call me Uncle Yang! The old man from Yuanling reached out and patted me on the head, saying: Old man? Be careful or I will slap you into an old man!
Yang Zongxu coughed , and when I looked over, I saw him glanced and gestured with his mouth.
The old man from Yuanling also coughed awkwardly, and then said: Although I can't find where he is, I will ask someone to notify my friends in the northwest. If I can help, I will try my best to help. Alas... they are all troublesome guys.
The old man had just finished his complaint when he immediately added: You are all idiots just like me back then!
The message has been passed on, I will ask the tribe members to draw some and put them here, said an old witch.
The old chief of the Red Miao tribe was an old man wearing coarse linen, with a long beard and a hunched back. He was leaning on a dragon-headed cane and stepped forward. He said in an old voice: "More than a decade ago, I led people to rescue several Tantric lamas in the northwest, and we are still on good terms now. They taught me a secret method that can instantly transmit messages thousands of miles away. I will tell them, and if he is nearby, he can help."
The old man from Yuanling nodded, then used his hands to support me with a little force, and then asked: How is it, can you stand steadily now?
I responded and tried to stand on my own. Although my legs were still a little weak, they were much better than before.
Seeing that I could stand steadily, the old man Yuanling nodded, said no more, and returned to the yard with the old Red Miao leader, Zhaguyi, and the old man Wu Gu. Yang Zongxu stood with me for a while. He seemed to want to say something to me, but in the end he didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, he went to the yard with the wine.
I stood at the door for a while, and finally sighed and turned around. However, when I turned around, a gust of wind came from behind me. At the same time, I saw the little beauty's eyes opened very wide, as if she had seen something incredible.
I turned my head suddenly and saw a figure covered in blood appear behind me.
He covered his chest with one hand and coughed violently a few times. A weak voice came from his mouth: Three families... give me some time, I will catch the others... none of them will be let go.
The beautiful girl covered her mouth and tears came down on the spot.
The old man from Yuanling and others were also running over here. I turned around and immediately held onto the old Taoist, not caring about the blood on my hands and clothes.
How could you be alone... I was so angry that I wanted to yell at him.
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait for her revenge… The old Taoist’s voice was extremely weak. Because in addition to the injuries on his body, he also had sorrow and pain. These mixed together almost completely broke him down.
