Tianwei Chapter 229: Emerging into Prominence (4)
Well... we are a bit busy right now...
Forget it, forget it, you guys go and get busy. The driver pouted and climbed up the hill with his things in his arms.
What kind of cultivator? The old Taoist asked.
I was a little embarrassed and explained: They are some people who live in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan, saying that they do so for spiritual practice.
The old Taoist nodded and said: Let’s keep going.
I glanced at the driver who was climbing the mountain with difficulty, shook my head, and walked towards the mountain road in the distance.
As we walked along, more and more people came. Many tourists who loved novelty and excitement did not take the mountain trails, but chose to climb places without roads. In fact, I used to like this too. Climbing a mountain means climbing. Climb the hardest part. It is better to go home for a walk than walking on the flat winding mountain road.
Seeing that there were already quite a few people, the old Taoist did not continue forward, but took me to mingle with those tourists.
Most of these people are young people who like to be lively. When they see the old Taoist wearing Taoist robes, some of them come over and ask if he is a Taoist from Mount Zhongnan or a hermit behind the mountain?
At first, the old Taoist shook his head casually to deny it, but later, he got annoyed by their questions and simply frowned and ignored everyone. This old man has a weird and stubborn temper, and he does things boldly. If you really annoy him, you can't say what he will do.
There were people from the Secret Corpse Vein nearby, and maybe other practitioners as well. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I shouted loudly to drive away those curious tourists.
After about an hour, the Taoist's power was completely restored. We avoided the tourists and moved forward in a deserted place using the method of shrinking the earth.
The old Taoist took a step forward and walked a hundred miles away. After leaving the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, he stopped and asked me to investigate the location of the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse.
This kind of work is a piece of cake for me now.
Using the Jade Pendant to extend my vision, I soon found the place where the Purple Talisman Corpse was unearthed. It was also a mountainous area, surrounded by many people. There was a big pit in front of me, and purple light was faintly visible in it. Occasionally, some soil fell down and instantly turned into purple crystals.
The old Taoist put his hand on my shoulder, and after finding out the location through shared vision, he took a step forward and completely left Xi'an.
The location where the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse was unearthed was quite far away from Xi'an. It took the old Taoist a long time to get there, having to walk and rest.
Where is this? After he stopped, I looked at the nearby mountains and hills and asked.
It should be the border of western Sichuan, but I don't know where it is. The old Taoist walked forward, following the uneven mountain road.
Western Sichuan? No wonder it took so long. I have never been to the Sichuan Basin, which is known as the Cornucopia of Treasures. Now that I am here, I naturally look around curiously. There are not many plants here. Although the mountain looks lush and green, you will find that there is not much when you really walk up. Therefore, I only looked for a short while and completely lost interest.
After taking two quick steps to catch up with the old Taoist priest, I asked: What are you going to do next? Start fighting right away?
Maybe it's because I got the real Eight Ropes inheritance, now I always want to find some people or monsters to fight. Shooting down the evil cultists in mid-air in Kunlun made me interested in the actual combat of Taoism for the first time. Thinking about the people who I could only look up to before, who might be defeated by me now, my heart is beating wildly.
It depends, the old Taoist priest replied.
I curled my lips. These three words again.
You said, why did Wei Qingcang disappear? Is it true that, as Yu Wenying said, he secretly fought with the people of the Secret Corpse Vein?
I don't know. The old Taoist priest still only answered with three words.
I'm a little bit crazy. Every time this old man answers a question, he gives an answer that can be compiled into a three-character classic. Will I die if I say a few more words?
We walked for several kilometers without saying a word, and didn't see a single person. Although I saw the big pit in the vision of the Tongming Jade Pendant, when I really got there, I couldn't even figure out the direction.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in front of me. In this deserted mountain area, the sudden noise must be unusual. I was surprised and happy, and I stood on tiptoe and stretched my neck, but I could not see anything.
After walking a little further, I could already see a figure. I quickly pulled the Taoist's sleeve to remind him to hide. But the Taoist didn't even slow down his pace, and walked forward at a faster speed.
Hey, hey, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by them? I asked quietly, pulling his sleeve.
What's so scary? The old Taoist asked me.
Eh? I thought about it and said: What if they see me and kill me?
The secret corpse vein is not a fool. The old Taoist said: The purple talisman heavenly corpse is not so easy to take.
If we walk over there in such a swagger, wouldn’t it be too... I’m still a little worried.
The secret corpse vein has imprisoned me for a few days, but it was only because of the sneak attack of the green ghost corpse. Now I have gone there openly, what can they do to me? The old Taoist snorted: If you are afraid, go back.
Well, this old man is here to seek revenge. I rubbed my nose and simply kept silent.
The two of us had been discovered a long time ago. Someone walked towards us and shouted loudly: No one is allowed to come over here. All outsiders, get away!
The old Taoist turned a deaf ear to his shouts and walked on his own. I followed behind him, looking at the man and the red light that appeared beside him, wondering if I should punch his nose first or pinch his neck first if a fight really broke out.
Soon, we were getting closer and closer to the man. After seeing the Taoist's face clearly, the man's expression changed and became a little gloomy, but he didn't say anything. Among the people who looked over not far away, some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were angry.
I vaguely heard someone whispering: Why is he here? Wasn't he arrested? Those two bastards!
At this time, the old Taoist walked straight towards the person who had called out earlier, and they were head to head and nose to nose, only a few dozen centimeters apart. The man looked no more than 30 years old, and his build was not very strong. Although the old Taoist looked thin, he was taller than him.
Standing in front of the man, the old Taoist looked down at him and asked calmly: I am just an outsider.
The man was stunned, obviously not expecting the Taoist to ask this question. The Taoist lowered his head slightly, looked down at his slightly surprised face, and asked in a calm tone: Are you asking me to get out of here?
The man was stunned for even longer, but then he was furious and was about to speak when he heard a "pop" sound. My mouth suddenly became big enough to fit a hundred eggs, because the Taoist priest slapped the man in the face.
Several fingerprints appeared in an instant. The slap was so sharp that it echoed in the forest.
The old Taoist slowly put down his hand, walked over the man’s shoulder and continued to move forward, saying: No one can make me go away, not others, not you either.
It was so majestic... I was so stunned by what I saw that I even forgot to follow him.
You're looking for death! With a loud shout, the man screamed in anger, and a red corpse flashed out from his side and rushed straight towards the old Taoist. This corpse seemed to appear out of thin air, and it seemed to have drilled out of the man's body. It was really weird to the extreme.
Watch out! I yelled at the back of the Taoist's head and kicked him in the knee joint.
After practicing, my strength increased. The man had his back to me, so he was kicked in the joints and immediately fell to the ground with his legs bent. I pointed at him and shouted, "Chengtian! Tie him up!"
There was a stream of invisible and intangible air, with a faint green light flashing in it. The man knelt on the ground and struggled hard. I suddenly felt something around my body seemed to be broken, so I gritted my teeth and used my will to output more Taoist power.
And in front of me, the battle was over in just a few seconds.
When the red-haired corpse rushed out and I warned and kicked down the disciple of the secret corpse vein, the old Taoist had already drawn a fire dragon talisman. The talisman hit the red-haired corpse, making it stagger and step back a few steps. Taking this opportunity, the old Taoist drew another empty talisman and slapped it in his palm, shouting: The five elements of heaven and earth, the Tao merges into one's body, and the spiritual talisman and magic weapon appear!
A blue-red light suddenly appeared, and the old Taoist rushed forward, swinging his fists continuously at an incredible speed.
The sound of "bang bang bang bang bang" continued to ring out. In a few seconds, the old Taoist had thrown dozens of punches. Not to mention the power, just the speed of the punches was faster than the so-called world boxing champion.
Magic weapon! The old Taoist changed his fist into a palm and directly hit the red-haired corpse. The blue and red light followed his palm and was slapped into the red-haired corpse's body. The old Taoist pulled back, made a seal, and shouted: Explode!
With a loud bang, a large hole exploded in the chest of the red-haired corpse, and it flew backwards like a tattered rag doll. Finally, it fell to the ground with a plop. Although it was still twisting, it could not stand up immediately.
During the whole process, the red-haired corpse occasionally tried to swing its claws, but was hit directly at the joints by the old Taoist's fists, and was bent back in an awkward shape. Apart from that, it could only be beaten back continuously, and could no longer fight back.
The huge explosion caused clouds of dust to rise, and the figure of the old Taoist appeared and disappeared in the dust. He walked slowly and heavily, step by step, until he came to the kneeling man.
This is not the first time I have seen the fierce Taoist priest. He is like a prehistoric beast, ferocious and scary. Many times I feel that the Taoist priest is like a volcano. It is calm most of the time, but once it erupts, it will exceed everyone's imagination.
A person who has been suppressed for a long time suddenly has a reason and object to vent. It is just like giving wine to someone who lacks wine, or giving charcoal to someone who is afraid of the cold.
To this day, I still feel that all those who were beaten by the Taoist priest are living Lei Fengs. If it weren't for them, the Taoist priest would have committed suicide long ago. So they deserved to be beaten, and I should thank them on behalf of the Taoist priest.
As the old Taoist walked towards the man, I was still trying to maintain my Taoist magic. The man was no longer struggling. Although I couldn't see his face, I could imagine from his trembling body that his face must be full of fear.
Because the one walking towards him was not a human, but a wild beast. A beast that would become even more terrifying after being injured!
The Taoist priest walked over like that under everyone's gaze until his legs were only 20 centimeters away from the man. He did not lower his head again, but just lowered his eyes and looked down. His lips moved, and he said in a calm tone: I told you, you can't.
