Chapter 134 Choice
Amid the deep red blood mist and the never-ending howling wind, a huge skeleton was half-buried.
Buried inside it were countless resentful ghosts crawling like maggots in the pus and blood, and the reason why they looked like maggots was because they were too small compared to this skeleton.
The skeleton looked like a dragon corpse. There is a pair of coral-like horns on the dragon's head, which still emit a faint glow even after death. The bones are pale, and only empty holes remain in the eye sockets.
But its body is not the body of a dragon, but more like the body of a jackal, tiger, or leopard. However, it is extremely huge, like a hill, with only dead bones left.
Four people, Zhao Qi, Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, and Helianji, are currently hiding deep in the dragon head's eye sockets and inside its head.
The ancient cave is still there. Zhao Qi was sitting in the ancient cave. The original glistening blood on his body was gone. There was only miserable skinless flesh and blood. The pieces of flesh peeled off slowly from his body and fell down bit by bit. He was busy picking them up and swallowing them again, so that he could barely maintain his human shape and not be reduced to withered bones like those things in the ground.
Pan Muyun and Helianji sat cross-legged in the cave, frowning and staring at him. Zhao Qi also frowned: "What's there to see? Have you never seen a true god before? I told you, don't think about things here, keep your mind! Haven't the masters of your Sword Sect taught you that in Lingshan comes up with whatever he wants as soon as he thinks about it, just like you before—"
He immediately stopped talking and did not say the words "Wu Meng", "Zhen Xing Sect" and "Coffin Mountain", forcing himself to focus on his own flesh and blood again.
But it’s okay to think about Li Wuxiang!
Really, how to say? Hate it! But I can’t hate it!
If he can't feel hatred, it's because he has already told himself that he is done with this traitor. This resentment in your heart must be let go, otherwise sooner or later you will end up like those resentful ghosts on the ground.
But you can't let it go completely - why do practitioners come to Lingshan after death? Just because there is a breath.
When ordinary people die, most of them still have the same tone. Living in this world is not pleasant, and few people die without regrets. But the body of an ordinary person cannot keep that energy in the cauldron. At most, he will become a lonely ghost wandering in the world. Sooner or later, he will be taken to the netherworld by the messenger of the netherworld. Only a very small number of people with too much resentment can become evil ghosts.
However, the cultivator after building the foundation has already made up for the leaks in his body. Once he dies, his breath can send him to Lingshan, where he becomes what he is now. So this breath cannot be dissipated - if it is dissipated, it will really go to the netherworld, and all the cultivation in this life will be ruined. But you can’t complain so much that you lose your mind, otherwise your spiritual consciousness will be lost and your practice will not be successful.
But when he thinks about his current situation, he still can't help it!
It turned out that he, the blood god, had gradually gained popularity and was far different from the resentful ghost outside. However, this ancient cave was almost taken away by Wu Meng before!
People in the mortal world worship spiritual gods, such as the Kitchen God, the Immortal in the Well, etc. They only need to worship tablets. That's because this type of spiritual god or true spirit has already achieved Taoism. Even if it dies, the true spirit left behind is still part of the Taoist destiny. That luck is like a huge "ancient cave" that is invisible and intangible, and can be found anywhere.
And he, a wild god who can enjoy incense because he occupies an ancient cave, is like a resident in Deyang City. If you entrust someone to deliver something to the Lord of Deyang City, you don't need to tell which street or house, just say "City Lord", just like worshiping "Kitchen Lord".
However, if you want to give something to a resident like yourself, you have to tell others in advance where I live. Just like when Li Wuxiang passed through those villages and towns, he would tell the townspeople that he wanted to worship "the blood god in the Blood God Cave in Chifeng Mountain."
Zeng Jianqiu and three other people saw their ancient cave before and immediately rushed in and hid. Wu Meng followed with the coffin spirit. After a fierce fight, the four of them had to abandon the cave and escape. At that time, Zhao Qi felt that this time was going to be over. -Without the ancient cave to hide in, I became a baseless grudge.
Fortunately, Wu Meng didn't want to occupy the ancient cave, but just drove them out, and then chased them again.
However, the ancient caves in Lingshan Mountain are not the caves in the world - people are gone and they are still there, as long as they can be found back.
According to Zhao Puppet, the ancient cave is a bit of the foundation of Yangjian in Lingshan. Only those who are destined to see it can see it. This hole was taken back by Wu Meng, and it immediately became Wu Meng's fate, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Li Wuxiang brought some incense later, and Zhao Qicai saw the ancient cave again, his soul returned to its place, and he came back.
Just to compare things in the world of the world, it would be like his residence in Deyang City changed the owner of the household, and then he moved back. The person who sent the message had changed before, and he would naturally stop coming here next time. Therefore, his incense as the Blood God was suddenly cut off.
Therefore, Zhao Qi took the ancient cave and the three people and fled all the way in the sea of blood, but as soon as he had the slightest idea, Wu Meng immediately chased him with the coffin spirit. I don't know how long it took to chase and run like this, but I finally saw this huge corpse.
There must be something special about this corpse. Three thousand years ago, before the seven great emperors became golden immortals, the world could be regarded as a mixture of humans and gods. At that time, the fate of the great road had not yet been controlled by the human race. There were many relics of the ancient times, demon kings and monsters in the world. It was only after the great prosperity of the industry that the world changed, that they were killed and driven away. Until now, the Six Mysterious Sects , it is difficult to see these innate spirits within the sphere of influence of the thirty-six sects.
The one in front of me should be the skeleton of a certain demon king and monster who died at that time, but somehow it was somehow related to them and was actually seen!
Seeing that there was a pair of coral antlers on this thing's head emitting faint light, Zhao Qi guessed that although this thing was dead, its true spirit might not be extinguished. Anyway, I was desperate, so I immediately took the ancient cave and fled into its eye socket to hide. He is no different from a resentful ghost at the moment. The three people around him are probably earth souls who were taken in. They are just like dust in front of the demon king, so they should not offend the true spirit.
As expected, the demon king's skeleton showed no reaction, so they were able to breathe a little and settle down temporarily.
Pan Muyun and Helianji's small swords were still hanging in front of their bellies, and they still looked fully alert.
Zhao Qi complained in his heart, and when he saw the appearance of the two of them, he couldn't help but frown again: "Didn't I say it? Don't think too much! What are you two guarding against? As long as you think about it-- Do you understand? ”
"We are now in the remains of the Demon King. Have you ever seen a dog chasing someone? If a dog keeps smelling and chasing you, we will hide in the excrement pile now! But if you hide in the excrement pile, you will still If you yell, do you think the dog can find you? Isn’t this what you are doing now?
"We are just guarding against you." Pan Muyun said.
"Beware of me?!" Zhao Qi stared at Zeng Jianqiu with a pair of bloody eyes, "You came to my place to avoid trouble, I didn't kick you out, and you are still guarding me!? Tell them, do you want to be guarded? With me?”
Zeng Jianqiu sighed: "Old Pan, that's it, there's no need. Now I can calm down and tell you that this person, whose name was Zhao Qi during his lifetime, was a disciple of Ranshan, and Zhao Puppet was his master."
Pan Muyun's face turned stern: "The one you said was in Jinshui? The one who invited Zhao Puppet?"
"Yes. But he is actually not a bad person. He also died at the hands of Zhao Puppet in Jinshui. Li Wuxiang told me that he helped when he killed Zhao Puppet in Deyang. ”
Pan Muyun frowned and thought for a while: "Isn't this deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors."
"Hahaha, what a bully who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors!" Zhao Qi laughed, "What you are saying has nothing to do with you. I accepted him as my apprentice in Jinshui. He kowtowed to me, and so did Zhao Puppet. His master, when it comes to deceiving his master and destroying his ancestor, I am far behind him!”
"I treated him sincerely at the beginning! I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. When I first accepted him as my apprentice, it was just to invite him to the Kitchen God. Why I invited the Stove Lord was to find my master! But later I saw that he was treating me well. , I couldn’t help but be nice to him and no longer wanted to use him as a human sacrifice.”
"What happened? They were all plotting against me! I didn't know until I died. Good guy, both he and my master were treating me as a fool! I have harmed several people, but my heart is not as dirty as his!"
Pan Muyun was silent for a while and then said: "Junior Brother Li is doing harm to the people, and worshiping you as my teacher is just a temporary measure."
"Oh, yo yo yo, how did you get here? Didn't you say that you were set up by someone from your Sword Sect? Zeng Jian... Zeng Daxia said that person had introduced him to Taoism. Didn't your Sword Sect also have this? Bullshit? ”
Pan Muyun straightened his body: "You -" Zeng Jianqiu sighed again: "Okay, Old Pan, this matter is over. The grudge between Li Wuxiang and him is over, didn't he also say it? Li Wuxiang said it again? Ask him to atone for the sins of those he has harmed - many of us in the Sword Sect have done some wrong things before becoming swordsmen. Since Li Wu believes in him, I will believe in him."
Pan Muyun then shook his head: "I only thought that Junior Brother Li was happy with his grudges, but I didn't expect him to be so generous."
Zhao Qi sneered: "Yes, yes, he is good at everything. He is almost a saint. Instead of guarding against me, you might as well think about how to get out. That Wu——"
He shut up immediately, and the expressions of the three swordsmen in the cave also changed, but it was too late——
The blood mist outside the ancient cave suddenly rolled violently. First, countless wooden coffins emerged in the void, and then a large city suddenly appeared in front of them.
Wu Meng was still standing on the castle of the Mountain Lord's Mansion. He looked like a small black dot, but his figure seemed huge. Against the screen-like coffin mountain behind him, he almost looked like a demon king. All the space that could be seen in the eye sockets of the remains was obscured, as if they were gods.
In the previous fights, Wu Meng had driven the coffin spirits outside the Coffin City Mansion, and it seemed that he was still full of energy at this time.
He glanced coldly at the remains from the top of the building and sighed: "Guizi, why are you doing this? You want to save these two people around you, but in the end you can't save any of them. If you think you are dead, this matter will Are you done? You have also practiced the True Form Tao for so many years. You should understand that I have a way to find you out of this Lingshan——"
Zeng Jianqiu stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave: "Master Wu Shan, why are you doing this? Yes, I have practiced Zhenxing Tao for many years, so I know that you will not stay in Lingshan for long. If you want to chase me, I will run away, run away When you have to go out, we have plenty of ways to go from here.”
Zhao Qi lowered his voice: "Hey, let me tell you, why don't you call him Master Wu, instead call him father? If Li Wuxiang would call him father, you know, once you call him father, he will soften. If you call him father again, He said you regretted your apostasy, but these two have taken good care of you for so many years, maybe he would let them go?”
Helian Ji glanced at him sideways: "Junior brother Li doesn't care about you, but he also helps you think of ways to atone for your sins. You say such things behind your back, you are an incorrigible person."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhao Qi stared, opened his mouth, and finally just snorted: "Believe it or not. Besides, what is the relationship between the two of us? Do you mean to say bad things about him?"
Wu Meng sneered: "Oh, get out? Who can you expect after you get out? I know that there is a swordsman in Coffin City. There are some Taoists who have not been captured by me. I also know that he is on Coffin Mountain right now, fighting. I can understand why you are obsessed with the idea of the Five Mountains True Shape Picture and True Weapon - you think you swordsmen are kind and righteous, don't you?"
"Now that he has disturbed the real weapon, he should want to ask me to go out. There is no need for me to go out. There are twenty-three disciples in the coffin city who are about to become gods. It won't be long before he will die there first and will also come to Lingshan. . These two people around you are also in my house. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”
"Their physical bodies were not destroyed, all because I wanted to see you come back from your lost ways. But if you want me to be really disappointed in you, even if you want to hear me call you a traitor again, it's just wishful thinking. Now my patience is about to run out. It’s all over—the one in the cave!”
Zhao Qi shrank deeper into the ancient cave and tilted his head to Pan Muyun: "I'm calling you two."
"——I see that you are also a resentful ghost and it is not easy to become a Taoist. Since you have such a fate, you should be a practitioner during your lifetime. Then haven't you heard of the Five Mountains True Form Sect? Get out of here! Otherwise! I took away your ancient cave, destroyed your Taoism, and destroyed your body and spirit!”
Pan Muyun immediately turned to look at Zhao Qi, placing his hand on the flying sword in front of his abdomen. But after touching it, it loosened again.
At that moment, an idea came to his mind - if Zhao Qi was really intimidated by Wu Meng, he would kill him first. But this thought only passed through my mind for a moment, and I realized that it was because of this spiritual mountain.
The three of them were all souls of the earth who were absorbed into the Lingshan Mountain. They neither had any magic weapons to protect their bodies, nor were they like Wu Meng who was in the Coffin City Mansion. Without Zhao Qi's ancient cave, Wu Meng would not have been able to capture them. It has long been eaten by resentful ghosts, and Zhao Qi, the "Blood God", has been a big help.
But even so, the earthly soul was still invaded by the resentment in the spirit god, gradually disturbing his mind. Wu Meng couldn't stay in Lingshan for a long time, that's why.
Just now, I actually had the idea of killing someone to seize the cave... This is definitely not what a swordsman should do.
If they continue to stay here and cannot find a way out, they are afraid that both of them will slowly turn into resentful ghosts, and Zeng Jianqiu will be the same.
In this case, it’s better to...
He sighed in his heart and tried to stand up with his knees, wanting to persuade Zeng Jianqiu.
It is better for two people to die than for three or four people to die. Wu Meng was right. If it was just to kill these few of him, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths. In his opinion, the current situation was more like Wu Meng venting the resentment accumulated in his heart for decades. He had to force Zeng Jianqiu cannot say "I was wrong".
A Zhenxiang Cult monk who has reached the realm of refining the gods has such evil thoughts in his heart. It cannot be resolved by calling him "Dad" or saying a few soft words. Today, he and Helianji will no longer have a way to survive.
And if you save even one seed of vitality, there will be other possibilities in the future. Junior Brother Li is still in Coffin City and was not captured like the three of them. There must be other magical means... Zeng Jianqiu may be able to rescue him. For three thousand years, the Sword Sect has continued like this. We are all brothers, no matter who is alive.
However, just when he was about to make a move, he saw Zhao Qi suddenly stand up.
The blood god had shrunk to hide in the depths of the ancient cave. After hearing Wu Meng's words, he seemed to be frightened and became stunned without saying a word. It seemed that because of Li Wuxiang, he didn't really want to leave alone, but he was really afraid of Wu Meng and the coffin spirits, and he didn't want to end up with both body and spirit destroyed.
His appearance actually made Pan Muyun sigh in his heart - because of the attack of resentment, he even wanted to take over the cave just now. But Zhao Qi can do this, which shows that what Zeng Jianqiu said before is right. He is not a bad person at heart... he can even be considered a good person.
So Pan Muyun stood up, turned to look at Helianji, and whispered: "Let's go out, don't bother Old Zeng and do it yourself. There is also Junior Brother Li outside, maybe..."
Helianji smiled and held the flying sword in his palm: "I understand. OK, I have long wanted to meet the refining gods of the Six Mysterious Sect to see if they are as strong as our golden elixir. Today, well, it is a good opportunity. .”
The two were about to walk towards the entrance of the cave, but Zhao Qi suddenly trembled and stood up.
He casually pushed Pan Muyun and Helianji, and immediately pushed them to the ground again. He walked to the cave entrance again and stood next to Zeng Jianqiu. First, he frowned and looked at the densely packed coffins and the overwhelming Coffin City Mansion in the distance. Then he let out a long breath like a living person, with a sneer on his face.
His appearance and tone at this time were completely different from before, and Zeng Jianqiu was also stunned.
"It's so noisy...it's causing my son a headache and eye pain." Zhao Qi said. His voice was originally a little sharp and harsh, but now he became a completely different person.
Zeng Jianqiu was startled, and turned to look at him again, and saw that his teeth, which were covered in blood, had turned into fine fangs.
Zhao Qi squinted his eyes and looked carefully at Wu Meng on the top of the tower: "I don't like your tone very much. I know the True Form of the Five Sacred Mountains, but is it such a great thing? What's more, you I'll keep these people alone."
