Youbao Chapter 38: Calculation (2)
The mountain of the walking corpse vein is at least two or three hundred meters high. It is impossible for the two of us to keep an eye on such a mountain. People can go in any direction they choose. The reason why the old Taoist is squatting here is because this is the easiest direction to go down the mountain. The Zhong and Wei families also proved this point.
To prevent any accidents, I persuaded the old Taoist priest who was planning to go up the mountain to check immediately to continue waiting. If he waited another day and still no one showed up, he would go up to check.
The old Taoist priest also knows that it is better to die early than to die late... Well, is that what they say?
In short, he knew that it was better to seize the opportunity to preserve his strength than to sacrifice in vain. Finding Gamu would not be done in a day or two.
While chatting, it suddenly occurred to me, if Gamu also had a black cloth covering his head, would the old Taoist priest be able to recognize him?
Hearing this question, the old Taoist priest's face suddenly became a little ugly. As soon as I saw his expression, I understood that the old man was not sure. After all, the faces were blocked, and there was the breath of the bronze-armored corpse mixed in the team. The old Taoist priest could only see the faces of those people with his naked eyes, and did not dare to use Taoist magic to check.
However, this possibility is still very small. Gamu didn't know we were at the foot of the mountain, so why was he so cautious?
Although this makes sense, the old Taoist is still eager to go up the mountain.
I couldn't persuade him, so I could only let him go. Since the spiritual blood of the Eight Ropes can reach the underworld, using it to cast spells is particularly effective against zombies. So the old Taoist took my blood and turned it into a talisman, changing his appearance and aura, making himself look like a disciple of the zombie lineage.
These are what he said himself. Anyway, I think he is no different from before. The old Taoist said that this is because the blood talisman was born because of me, and it is useless to the Eight Ropes lineage.
Ever since the old Taoist priest went up the mountain, I have been hiding in the woods and dared not move.
This place is right under the noses of the zombies. If I'm an ordinary person, I'll die immediately if I'm discovered.
Without the skills of the old Taoist priest, I will just be a coward. When I am bored, I take out the jade pendant to look at it. This thing has been getting weirder and weirder recently, like it has drunk alcohol, and its color has gradually changed from green to bright red.
I just discovered this abnormality and haven't had time to tell the old Taoist priest. But as the color changes, it feels more comfortable to touch. Even if I don't cast a spell, I still feel a warm feeling flowing through my body.
This is a divine jade. The old Taoist priest once told me that the Eight Ropes lineage has a long history, dating back thousands of years or even longer. The Underworld Jade is carved from the rarest and finest cold jade in the world. It was soaked in the Nine Netherworld by a great master of the Eight Ropes lineage, and then placed in the Nine Heavens for tempering. It was tempered by the two energies of heaven and earth, and it took a hundred years to take shape.
This piece of mine is not that old, of course, but the last piece of precious jade refined by the Eight Suo lineage in later generations to imitate their ancestors. The previous piece was lost in ancient times, and it seems that there was a great turmoil at that time.
This is a mythical method, a mythical record, just like the gods of heaven and earth, immortal mountains, strange people, and strange beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is impossible to understand, experience, or even imagine.
I waited for the old Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain for nearly a day. It was still dark when he went up, and it was almost dark when he came down.
After seeing me, the old Taoist frowned and said: It's strange that the zombie lineage has also left, leaving only some lower-generation disciples.
Uh, did you go out to buy groceries?
The old Taoist stared at me, then said: The big figures of the walking corpse vein rarely leave this mountain. Because the golden-winged corpse can use the Yin energy under the mountain to practice, and can also protect this mountain. If it leaves, the golden-winged corpse without anyone to control it will be a dead thing. If it is taken away, the ordinary walking corpse will not be of much use. People like me can enter and leave as if they were in an empty place.
Obviously, the three Heavenly Corpse Sects have made a big move. It is estimated that the Zhong Family and the Wei Family will also leave like the Walking Corpse Sect after returning, leaving only a few small minions to guard the gate.
How big a deal could it be that caused these three companies to mobilize such a large force?
Could it be that they really found something on the skeleton of the god?
But I vaguely felt that things were not that simple. The undertaker "Zhou Xuehai" took some blood from me for no reason, which was something I had always forgotten.
It seems small, compared with the three veins of the Heavenly Corpse, he is weak and insignificant. But I think that this person's finding me before is related to a big thing, or even the key.
Because I never believe that people would do things without a purpose, and it is even more impossible for him to risk being beaten to death to take the Earth Nourishing Corpse Pill and give it to Gamu for free, unless Gamu also gave him amazing benefits.
How about I check where the zombies are going? I suggested.
The old Taoist's eyes lit up, and without saying anything, he took the Tongming Jade Pendant. When he saw the changes on the Tongming Jade Pendant, he immediately became confused.
I said: I don’t know what’s going on, the color has changed a little, and I feel warm when I wear it, but I don’t sweat.
The old Taoist priest glanced at me and said: Let’s talk about it later.
Afterwards, he took the talisman paper, wrapped the jade pendant, lit it and stuck it on my forehead.
My vision quickly extended, spreading out along the perimeter of the Zombie Mountain. This was something I had never done before, and I suddenly understood what a perfect vision was.
However, this 360-degree field of vision was a great burden for me, and I got a headache very quickly. Therefore, I had to give up the direction where the Zhong and Wei families left and adjust the field of vision to about 220 degrees.
Five minutes later, I saw a large mass of black gas moving at a very fast speed. In the black gas, there were groups of vigorous blood, wrapped in the black gas, moving underground, flying in the air, and a small part running among the woods.
Found it. I shouted with joy, and the old Taoist took off the jade pendant but did not say anything immediately.
I also noticed that six people had appeared before me. Two old men and four middle-aged men. They all looked hostile and aggressive.
Before I could say anything, one of the old men, who was wearing dark blue clothes embroidered with purple plum blossom patterns, asked: Are you a master of the Five Elements Meridians?
You are from the Zhou family, right? said the old Taoist priest.
Several middle-aged people were stunned for a moment, but an old man laughed: "A master is a master. No wonder the Five Elements Meridian has been passed down continuously since ancient times and has never had a big mess. In addition to its close relationship with the Eight Threads Meridian, it is also quite extraordinary."
No need to flatter me. The old Taoist said coldly: You are here because the previous head of the family and the two Guang generations of this generation died in the ancient battlefield of Changping.
That 's right. The other man was tall, with white hair and beard, but he was full of energy. The old man in a light golden short coat embroidered with plum blossoms said: We found Guangyun, he has gone crazy. We had no choice but to search his soul to find out what happened in Changping. I have no other purpose here, just to ask the master of the Five Elements to give me an explanation. If there is nothing else, we will turn around and leave.
The old Taoist priest glanced at the two old men's plum blossom short coats and snorted coldly: "The Zhou family's law enforcement hall has always been ruthless and impartial. The soul-searching method is to hurt people's souls. Zhou Guangyun has good qualifications, but after being treated like this by you, I'm afraid he will have no future."
There is no need for the experts to worry about this, we just want to know what happened in the ancient battlefield of Changping. The old man in the light gold short coat also looked gloomy.
Sending two law enforcement elders and four people of the Guang generation shows that they think highly of me. The old Taoist priest said calmly: Since you know about the Changping Ancient Battlefield, there is no need to say more. You came to me just to use this matter to ask me to help you find the Demon Sword.
The master guessed correctly. The old man in the blue short coat said with a smile: "You guessed right. The head of the family told us before we came that as long as the master helps our Zhou family, the last time we took advantage of them will be written off, and the Zhou family will owe you a big favor. If you need anything in the future, just come and find me."
This is a good suggestion. The old Taoist priest looked away from the two old men and scanned the four middle-aged men of the same generation as Zhou Guangyun: But what if I don't agree?
The old man in pale gold was stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised. But the old man in the blue short coat smiled and said: "Masters naturally have their own ideas, why not be honest. Perhaps, we can discuss and come to a conclusion."
There is nothing to discuss. The old Taoist priest raised a finger: I want your Zhou family to help me destroy all the people and things related to the Earth-raising Corpse Pill, only this one thing, after you are done, I will help you get the Demon-Subduing Sword back.
No question...
The pale gold old man had only said two words when he was stopped by the blue old man. He smiled again and said: "It must not be easy to deal with something that even the masters need help with. Please tell me who is related to this corpse-raising pill. Although the Demon-Subduing Sword is important, for the current Zhou family, only our older generation values it. If we really can't find it back, it's fine."
If your Zhou family is really willing to give it up... the old Taoist priest hesitated to speak.
The old man in blue kept smiling and didn't say a word. I was playing with my fingers and cursing in my heart, "Two old foxes."
The whereabouts of the Demon-Subduing Sword is related to the Heavenly Corpse Vein. And the Earth-Nourishing Corpse Pill is also related to them, the old Taoist priest suddenly said.
Is it the Zhong family or the Four Veins? The old man in the blue background suddenly became serious.
The three veins of the Heavenly Corpse do not include the Secret Corpse Vein. The old Taoist said: I don't know who has the Demon-Subduing Sword, but it must be close to the person who holds the Earth-Nourishing Corpse Pill.
The old man with a blue background nodded, without doubting the truth of this sentence. After all, the Zhou family had searched Zhou Guangyun's soul and learned everything about the ancient battlefield of Changping. But when it comes to Zhou Guangyun, I think it's a pity. He has a gentle temper and is a good person, but I didn't expect that after going crazy for family affairs, he was still tricked. Listening to the old Taoist priest's words, it is estimated that he will be useless in the future.
Let me discuss this matter with the head of the family. The old man with a blue face regained his smile and bowed to the old Taoist priest: "My name is Zhou Gaoping, and this is my younger brother Zhou Gaoyang. After discussing this with the head of the family, I will tell the master."
After saying that, the six people turned and left.
I was stunned and really wanted to pull him and ask: Don’t you want to leave your cell phone number or QQ?
