Chapter 163: Teng Snake ambush, Tai Sui Star arrives! (Eight Thousand Updates in 24 Hours, please subscribe to the readers)
“Master Nephew Lu, I wonder what your plans are next?”
After dealing with Situ Hua’s case, Mie Hongzi Ask Xiang Lu Cheng this way.
"But according to the instructions of the master uncle."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to take these disciples of mine back to the earth. If I, the master uncle, have the life to go back, I won't be the one to do it. As for letting you, a junior, travel in vain.”
When he said this, Mie Hongzi said to two of his disciples: "Fengping, Shiman, you two come with me, the others will follow you, Senior Brother Lu, and return to the ground."
"Master, how could it be possible for a disciple to return and allow the master to experience danger?"
The female Taoist priest in white and the charming female cultivator in light-colored skirts walked out together and stood on the left and right sides of Mie Hongzi. .
However, the other disciples of Mie Hongzi reacted violently. They all knelt down and refused to leave.
Just when Mie Hongzi frowned slightly and was about to get angry.
Lu Cheng interjected and said:
"Uncle Third Master, in fact, the disciple is more willing to go deep underground to obtain the Chongyuan Blood Purifier Flower for the elders of our sect. This thing can cleanse the magic blood and repair the foundation of the Tao. In addition, the disciple It was discovered that the forest family of Burning Wood Mountain seemed to have set up an ancient fierce formation. I don’t know what the plan is. "
Lu Cheng was unwilling to leave at this time, and now he met his third master, Mie Hongzi. Although this master's magic power seemed to be far inferior to Master Huang Longzi and Master Chi Shenzi, but As the sword-wielding elder of the Hidden Sword Palace for many years, he must not be easy to follow and has the background.
Coupled with his own golden dragon outer elixir magic weapon, as long as he does not encounter the Yinshan Patriarch in southern Xinjiang, he can handle most situations.
"...It's rare for you to have such filial piety. Well, then you will go with me to hunt down Xiao Chongzi." Mie Hongzi replied after pondering for a moment.
"Uncle Master, the monks from Burning Wood Mountain are setting up a large formation deep in the Huangquan Valley. Shall we go first?" I once asked real people for advice and advice. This journey brings great auspiciousness, as the snake lurks and the Tai Sui star arrives. The real person said that as long as I follow my heart, I will be able to fulfill my wish. "
Lu Cheng's words have not yet been finished. , such a spiritual thought came to my ears.
Lu Cheng stopped talking immediately. Rationally speaking, at this time, he should immediately go to the depths of Huangquan Valley and plan to attack Burning Wood Mountain.
But Qingxuan Zhenren, the master of the Eight Views, has intensively studied the "Book of Changes". Master Huang Longzi once said that the Little Fate Technique and the Great Destiny Technique of the Eight Views are among the most unfathomable Taoist methods in the world. First, his comments are enough to directly be used as evidence to influence the decision.
Rationally speaking, we should go to Huangquan Valley immediately at this time, but maybe this will ruin the opportunity. On the contrary, we can get better results by obeying fate.
Criticisms like this should not be spoken to outsiders. Third Master Mie Hongzi has given himself enough face. Lu Cheng immediately stopped saying anything and began to rest and prepare for the chase. Xiao Chongzi made preparations.
Xiao Chongzi just escaped with blood escape. It is impossible to catch up with him in a short time. There must be a protracted war. Lu Cheng does not have to leave, and all the disciples of Mie Hongzi will stay here. After coming down, they surrounded Taoist Mie Hongzi and meditated to rest.
Some of the female disciples also pointed at Lu Cheng, talking about the reputation of Lu Cheng, the Five Elements Sword, and marveled at the swordsmanship and magic power displayed by Senior Brother Lu.
"Master, why did you form this cause and effect and say something to help that Situ Hua? This man is old and has impure magic power. I am afraid that Senior Brother Lu will have a hard time in the future."
Qi Fengping and Fang Shiman, these two are Mi Hongzi's two favorite disciples because of their qualifications and understanding. At this moment, Fang Shiman spoke up, but he didn't understand why.
“Of course it’s for those precious medicines and spiritual things.”
Mie Hongzi sat cross-legged on the futon and spoke directly without opening his eyes.
Fang Shiman was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She knew clearly that Master was not a monk who paid much attention to external objects.
After many years of hard work and dedication in the Hidden Sword Palace, in addition to necessary expenses, I also gave more to my disciples so that they could devote themselves to practice.
"Shiman, you are the same as when you were your teacher. You think that cultivating the Tao consists of mind, skills, and understanding. But if it is really so simple, why are the couple of wealth and Dharma the four essentials of cultivation? People who practice the Tao pay too much attention to wealth and fall into delusion. , attaching too much importance to the nature of the mind, and then talking about the nature of the mind in vain, is entering into another kind of illusion. ”
“But, Master, recruiting disciples is a major matter for inheritance, and practice and inheritance are both top priorities. How can we ignore it so lightly?”
Fang Shiman was still puzzled and continued to ask, Qi Fengping was listening on the side. Although she didn't say a word, she was obviously paying attention.
“Out of all the disciples under my sect, except you, senior sister, you and Feng Ping are the most likely to inherit my Taoism. From the perspective of practice and inheritance, I shouldn’t have so many disciples. Yes, but in fact, as long as your character is good, Go, I can discipline them, I have accepted a lot of these children, and now I can rely on them to some extent."
Today, after meeting his old disciple, Mie Hongzi was very talkative. Here’s the key to it:
"I won't accept that Situ Hua. Just like what you said, Shiman, he is too old and has mixed magic power. He is already unfit for training. But it is okay for Master Nephew Lu to accept such a registered disciple, especially those spiritual creatures. As Shu Xiu."
When this was said, Qi Fengping and Fang Shiman had already come to some realizations.
When accepting a disciple, you should not just look at the disciple's strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but also the benefits and harms he can bring to the teacher and the sect.
A disciple who is extremely talented and can pass on the Taoism has an enemy behind him who can destroy the sect. For most sects, this disciple will do more harm than good and cannot be accepted. If it doesn't happen, it may be a serious disaster that destroys the sect and destroys the family.
On the contrary, a disciple with dull qualifications brings a lot of wealth and wealth to his family. Even if he is not enough to be a tool to carry the Tao in the future, as long as the sect teaches him carefully and gives him protection, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is not necessarily a bad thing to have an extra disciple with dull qualifications but who is loyal to the sect. If he does bad things in the future, it is also the leader's responsibility and he did not put the person in the right place.
"Our Hidden Sword Palace is an authentic sect. We cannot accept such a disciple. If we do, it will do more harm than good. Under the management of your uncle, the Northern Sect of the Demon Sect has seen some improvement in reputation over the years, but it is still the Demon Sect after all. Among them, if Situ Hua is an ambitious person, Do you think your uncle Huang Longzi can’t kill people?”
During the period of repair, Lu Cheng and Situ Hua, Guo Lingbao, Mrs. Shi, and Shangguan Xue explained their strong relationship, but the four of them still remained. Although he was willing to continue to follow, Lu Cheng didn't have much to say.
After the repairs, everyone stood up. The female cultivator named Fang Shiman took out a sachet and a gray mouse, and then let the mouse smell the aroma of the sachet from time to time, guiding Everyone moved forward.
But it is a treasure-hunting rat. This kind of spirit rat is best at identifying spiritual energy and can often find some spiritual objects hidden in the dark. Therefore, it is very popular among low-level monks, but it is not easy to raise. , it requires a very careful monk to raise it, it is not the kind of monster that can be thrown into a spirit beast bag and left alone for a few years.
In fact, the higher the level of monsters, the more they long for freedom. Even if the beast-controlling methods of the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts are unique in this world, there are still monks in the sect who have worked hard to cultivate high-level monsters from time to time. Beast, as a result, the high-level monster died together with its master in order to seek freedom.
Lu Cheng can raise hundreds of poisonous golden silkworm Gu and fourth-level demon dogs, and drive them at will. This is not at all how skilled he is in practicing the Taoism of Ten Thousand Beasts, but because one energy in Jiuli Cauldron is transformed into an infinite world. Lu Cheng's Hundred Poisons The golden silkworm Gu and the fourth-level demon dog were simply thrown into a world to roam freely. Both sides were similar to The relationship between the Emperor of Zhou and the feudal princes, the monsters only need to help Lu Cheng from time to time, and they can call Lu Cheng for help when needed. Of course, it is not easy to rebel in such an environment. There is no difference between the outside world and the inside after coming out of Jiuli Ding. , but this is a condition that other disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect simply cannot have.
“Junior sister Fang is a perfume maker?”
Lu Cheng Yujian followed and asked Qi Fengping, a female Taoist priest in white on the side. He did not specifically choose beautiful people, but Among the disciples of Mie Hongzi, there were only two of them with equal status.
Qi Fengping would not feel awkward talking to Lu Cheng.
"Well, the reason why Master wants to hunt down Xiao Chongzi is because Xiao Chongzi killed a female disciple in the Hidden Sword Palace by collecting supplements. He also attacked Junior Sister Fang, but that time Senior Sister also He was inside the door, so Xiao Chongzi could not succeed, but he was stained with the fragrance powder prepared by his junior sister. Even if he was thousands of miles away, he would not be able to escape our pursuit. "
After hearing this, Lu Cheng finally understood why Mie Hongzi had singled out his two disciples before, but it wasn't all because of preference.
The incense maker is also one of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality. High-quality spiritual incense can clear the heart and purify the energy, ward off evil spirits and demons, assist in spiritual practice, and is also a good help in spiritual practice. Of course, preparing strange scents and chasing people thousands of miles away is also one of the uses of spiritual incense.
After seven days of tracing, the little gray mouse landed on a rock and suddenly froze. He looked around and sniffed, but could not point out the path directly like before.
Although an orientation was given in the end, its owner Fang Shiman had already noticed something unusual.
"Master, Xiao Chongzi may have noticed our method of tracking him. Although Xiao Hui gave the direction, the direction it gave next may no longer be accurate. Monsters in this realm After all, without human wisdom, it is easy to be deceived by Xiao Chongzi.”
"Well, Shiman, you don't have to feel pressure. Being able to pursue it to this point is already a credit to you. Just try your best and let me know when you are really not sure, and we will search separately."
"Disciple, obey."
At this moment, Lu Cheng stepped forward.
After giving the gift, he said:
"Uncle, Junior Sister Fang, I should be able to help with this matter."
When Mie Hongzi heard the words, he glanced at Lu Cheng, immediately clasped his hands and smiled and said: "That's right, how could I forget that you are the true successor of Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace."
Lu Cheng smiled when he heard the words, and then waved his sleeves, Summoning a sky full of dark golden light, a short-haired white dog with a thin waist.
This guy was still a little confused when he was summoned. When he saw the fat gray mouse, he actually pounced on it and opened his mouth to bite it.
“Ah!”
Fang Shiman screamed in fright and quickly took back her Xiao Hui.
The fourth-level dog demon didn't really pounce. Lu Cheng grabbed him by the back of the neck, then threw him to the ground and scolded:
"I called you out to track and identify your position. I didn't let you." Whoever you catch will bite you."
The short-haired slender-waisted dog whimpered when he heard this, and seemed a little aggrieved. He had no choice but to do it. When Lu Cheng called him out, he mostly used it for fighting, and over time he got used to it. .
"Junior Sister Fang, this guy didn't scare Xiao Hui, did he?" "...No, no, Senior Brother Lu is such a lively spirit beast." Fang Shiman's face was a little pale, but she was He is unwilling to let go of his Xiao Hui easily.
After a while, under the reprimand of his master, he released the spirit beast again.
Now, with two spiritual beasts tracking and identifying their location, the pursuit speed became faster again.
Although Lu Cheng was not clear about the details, the sense of smell of the two spirit beasts was different and actually quite complementary, making it even more difficult for Xiao Chongzi to hide.
On the twenty-fourth day of the hunt for Xiao Chongzi, even Lu Cheng can clearly feel that the dog demon and Xiao Hui are tracking faster and faster. This clearly shows that Xiao Chongzi was at the end of his rope.
Sounds like he was unlucky. If he had come to the ghost cave of Huangquan in Southern Xinjiang at other times, there were many evil soul-moving cultivators from Burning Wood Mountain entrenched here. Even if Master Mie Hongzi hunted him down, he would be hard-pressed to get rid of him. Go well.
But when Xiao Chongzi came down, the ancestor of Burning Wood Mountain was setting up a formation, trying to open the way to the Netherworld and lead to the Nine Netherworld Devouring World. All the evil cultivators of Burning Wood Mountain gathered deep in the Yellow Spring Valley, and no matter how Xiao Chongzi escaped, Even if he called for help, he could not find anyone from the Lin family.
On the other side, while chasing Xiao Chongzi, Lu Cheng was also thinking about the comment made by Master Qingxuan to Mie Hongzi's uncle.
"The Teng Snake is hiding in secret, and the Tai Sui star is coming? Although I am not very familiar with Yili, Teng Snake and Tai Sui both seem to be the astrological signs of conquest. Then why does Qing Xuan think it is a good omen? Let Uncle Master get his wish."
But Lu Cheng didn't know that the ancestor of the Lin family and the master of the Eight Views, Qingxuan, had studied this secret very deeply.
It’s just that in terms of realm, the former is limited by inheritance, and the patchwork of techniques cannot be compared to the mystery of the Book of Changes.
If Lu Cheng followed Lu Cheng's wishes and joined forces with Master Mie Hongzi to directly reach the depths of Huangquan Valley to prevent the road to the underworld from opening and the Nine Nether Devouring Realm to come, this would indeed eliminate hidden dangers before they occur.
But without the nourishment of Jiuyou Qi, the seven Chongyuan Blood Purifying Flowers will not bloom.
On the contrary, it is like now, following Mie Hongzi to hunt down the evil cultivator Xiao Chongzi, turning around seven times and eight times until the seven Chongyuan Blood Flowers bloom, Mie Hongzi has a chance to get his wish , cleanse one's own magic blood.
From this perspective, correct judgment is wrong, and wrong choices will lead to better results.
The beauty of the Book of Changes makes people feel like they are standing on a high place and looking down at their destiny, so that practitioners can always choose the most correct result.
This is a realm that is difficult to reach for sword cultivators, Qi practitioners, Dharma cultivators, divine cultivators, physical cultivators, etc.
"Be careful!"
On this day, when everyone was following the two spiritual beasts, Mie Hongzi suddenly shouted low and pointed like a sword, stabbing out with one finger.
Her left hand held a sheathed sword, but for some unknown reason, the sword never came out of its sheath.
Of course, Mie Hongzi’s own sword spirit is fierce and his magic power is profound. Even if he only attacks the enemy with his own sword spirit, his sword spirit is still so high that it is unstoppable.
Lu Cheng drew his sword almost at the same moment as Mie Hongzi.
Although he has the help of the golden dragon outer elixir magic weapon, and his magic power can be raised to the first or second level of an elixir-forming monk, his spiritual consciousness has not increased. Even if he has a clear sword heart, it is impossible. The range is covered by the consciousness of the Dan Master.
Lu Cheng was only slightly slower than Mie Hongzi in drawing the sword, which almost means that he discovered his opponent first. It was just the movement of his spiritual thoughts, and after all, he could not be as fast as the master.
This is because as the hunt for Xiao Chongzi got closer and closer, Lu Cheng consciously spread out part of the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu and used it as his own eyes.
As a servant of Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu for several generations, because of the extremely close relationship between the two parties, Lu Cheng normally controls a small amount of Golden Silkworm Gu without consuming his spiritual consciousness, but this time he used two Jiuli Cauldrons at the same time. The spiritual beast consumes an astonishing amount of spiritual consciousness, but Lu Cheng would rather take pills to replenish his spiritual consciousness than endure the surprise attack of a master of pill formation who was about to counterattack.
But it was not Xiao Chongzi who took action at this moment, but two monks, one monk and one layman, who were filled with evil spirits.
The two men sneaked up and approached. They originally wanted to make a sneak attack, but before they could take action, they were directly discovered by the middle-aged female monk in gray and called Po Xingzang.
But even so, the two of them did not retreat.
The monk dressed as a secular man, who seemed to be young but very powerful, raised his hand and hit the gray-haired rat with a bloody light.
But it was blocked by Lu Cheng's sword light. The blood light and sword light collided with each other. The light suddenly became brighter, and another sharp sword light flew out from under Lu Cheng's flying sword. Directly towards the young monk's throat.
The sword light didn't change much, except for the word "quick and ruthless".
“Good swordsmanship!”
As the young monk sighed in admiration, with a wave of his sleeves, the sky was covered with black mist, and Lu Cheng’s Cangyan Flying Sword pierced into it. It was a little unstable. This black mist could greatly weaken the monk's consciousness.
At the same time, there were three white-bone Taoist soldiers holding swords and hammers, flying out of the fog. One waved the bone fork to immobilize the unstable flying sword, and the other two wielded double hammers, and the other waved the sword and shield. , and then hit Cangyan Feijian fiercely.
Although the Cangyan Flying Sword is of high quality, it was beaten so hard that it made a mournful sound at this moment.
"Sure, let's go!"
Lu Cheng frowned slightly and made a seal with one hand. The five-color aura on the Cangyan Flying Sword brightened from the spine to the body of the sword, but it was the Five Elements Sword Intent.
The Five Elements Sword Intent is not one of the most lethal sword intensions, but it is the most stable and has extremely high potential.
With the support of the Five Elements Sword Intention Master, the Cangyan Flying Sword regained its spirituality and swam in the air, avoiding the attack of the three bone Taoist soldiers in the black mist. It turned upside down like a swimming fish and flew back to Lu City. , and at the same time, Lu Cheng also immediately put away Dog demon, although this demon dog's mana has greatly increased after devouring the ghost dragon, it is now a sword fight between the masters of the Danjie. If you are not careful, it will still die. There are not many demon beasts in Jiuli Cauldron. There are fewer of them, and Lu Cheng doesn’t want it to die here.
On the other side, Mie Hongzi has also started fighting with the evil monk. Mie Hongzi suppressed all the magic of the evil monk with just one breath of his sword energy, but if he wants to win quickly, But it can't.
The evil monk tore off the bead chain around his neck and flew in the air, but the human heads swelled and appeared, emitting shrill demonic sounds that disrupted the monk's mind.
It’s just that the demonic sound that was supposed to spread to a wide area was cut straight away by Mie Hongzi’s sword energy, and it did not affect this side.
Mie Hongzi and Lu Cheng joined forces to resist. Mie Hongzi’s twelve female disciples and Shangguan Xue also reacted and formed a sword formation with flying swords to protect themselves.
The cultivation level of these female disciples is almost the same as that of Shangguan Xue and others, especially Qi Fengping and Fang Shiman, whose magic cultivation level is even more advanced.
In fact, if Lu Cheng did not have the Golden Dragon Waidan magic weapon to enhance his power, his current level of magic power would not be as good as the two of them.
Of course, if there was a sword fight, and the twelve female disciples of Mie Hongzi formed a sword formation, they might not be enough to kill Lu Cheng.
This is not because Mie Hongzi does not know how to teach his disciples, but because Lu Cheng has combined two generations of swordsmanship training, and in swordsmanship, he is far superior to the monks in this world.
I don’t know how many benefits Xiao Chongzi promised to these two people. It was obvious that the sneak attack had failed, and the young monk actually flew up and rushed in to attack.
He has a very powerful black gourd weapon, which can spit out black mist that weakens the monks' consciousness. There are three white bone Taoist soldiers hidden in the gourd. If the four methods are used at the same time, they can often Take advantage of an unprepared situation and destroy the monk's magic weapon.
When a monk refines a magical weapon, his spiritual consciousness is closely connected with the magical weapon. The more powerful the magical weapon, the more so. If the magical weapon is destroyed, the monk's spiritual consciousness will be implicated in an instant. With this method, he cannot He knew that he had killed many monks who were at the same level as himself, but he didn't expect to meet such a ruthless character as Lu Cheng today.
Seeing the young-looking monk flying up to attack, Lu Cheng rushed forward without hesitation, activating the Cang Yan and Qing Ming swords at the same time.
Using the Sword Qi and Thunder Sound Sword Technique, the two swords slashed into the black mist from all angles, slashing at the opponent, passing by with one slash, then closing in as soon as the attack was launched, and continued to fly in an endless stream.
There is nothing remarkable about surpassing the speed of sound. Monks can easily surpass the speed of sound by using flying needles, but the speed and ruthlessness represented by sword energy and thunder sound far exceed this level, and there are more Two tones, four tones, or even ten times the speed of sound.
Master Jiedan’s sword energy and thunder sound can reach ten times the speed of sound at the beginning.
The swords of Cang Yan and Qing Ming, the imperial envoys of Lu City, came out to kill one after another. Their swordsmanship was fierce, cruel and domineering, with unprovoked changes. The evil cultivator of the opponent was instantly frightened.
"Didn't this person improve his skills with the help of the external alchemy method? How can this swordsmanship be so fierce and fierce?"
Even if he uses the external alchemy weapon, his magic power is increased to the level of the alchemy master, the mental thoughts of a low-level monk It is impossible to improve the operation to the same level. In addition, after Xiao Chongzi promised to kill this son, he refused to take the Waidan magic weapon himself, and recommended it to the disciple of a powerful elder in Tianmo Palace. Only then did the two dare to let go. Give.
But at this moment, Lu Cheng used all his swordsmanship that he had cultivated for two generations to kill his opponent, which made the evil cultivator sweatdrop. He only felt that his opponent's exquisite and sharp sword moves were endless, as if he had been using them forever. Not so good.
There is no way. A monk in this world can fight thousands of sword fights with others in his life and get away with his whole body, which can be regarded as a brilliant achievement. Most of them can't do it.
In fact, Lu Cheng was surprised that monks in this world could comprehend various sword intentions after fighting hundreds of times. In his previous life, he had to comprehend various sword intentions. Any one of them was not necessary. Only by fighting thousands of swordsman masters can one start to gain enlightenment.
"The monks in this world only need a few sword fights or a dozen games to realize that the sword's heart is clear and its sword's intention is powerful. How do they do it?"
Lucheng is also confused like this sometimes.
