Chapter 135 The Patriarch
Zeng Jianqiu took a breath and took three steps back, away from Zhao Qi. He turned to look at Pan Muyun and Helianji, and saw horror on their faces.
Pan Muyun moved his eyes downward, and Zeng Jianqiu knew that he was gesturing to the thing below - the huge remains of the demon king.
He understood and knew what Pan Muyun was worried about.
When a practitioner enters the Tao, if he has a teacher, the first thing he teaches is what he shouldn't see, what he shouldn't hear, and what he shouldn't think.
This is not a moral matter, but something about some wild gods and the like. Having said that, there are many secret treasures and immortal ruins between heaven and earth, and practitioners can't help but explore them.
Once you provoke something that you shouldn't provoke and you can't solve it yourself, a casual cultivator without a teacher will naturally die, or it may be more uncomfortable than death. And those who have masters, the masters will always have ways to deal with it - the thirty-six sects are separated from Taiyi, but the founders of each sect are the original thirty-six true immortals, although they have been replaced by the seven golden ones. The Immortal Emperor killed them, but there is still the aura of the true spirit remaining in Lingshan. Please send the true spirit to solve the problem.
Not to mention Taiyi, the leader Jiang Jie claims to have the true spirit of Taiyi in his body, and his own skills can destroy evil and ward off evil, so it is not difficult to deal with it.
However, these are only the spirits and wild gods that can be contacted in the human world.
The most difficult thing is actually the things in Lingshan.
Before Donghuang Taiyi taught the Dharma, there were no practitioners in the world. Although humans were the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they were not very different from wild beasts. They just knew how to live in groups and eat by the fire. 【Note 1】
Before that, since there were no practitioners, they didn’t know there were spiritual mountains in the world. It was not until someone among the first batch of monks died that the existence of Lingshan was known. Before that, the resentment in Lingshan had been accumulated for an unknown period of time, so there were many hidden and powerful spirits in it.
Most of the weird spells in the world are actually inviting the wild gods in the spiritual mountains. These people who can be invited down and known to the people of the world, no matter how cruel and violent they are, still know the worldly human relations and the rules of the world of life.
The most dangerous things are those things in Lingshan that have been unknown to the world for a long time.
This means that the habits of those things are completely different from those of living people in the world, and they cannot be measured by any good or evil likes and dislikes.
As for the current one, there is no record in the collection of world explanations, and no one mentions the strange things in the countryside. It should obviously belong to the most dangerous category. Although it said it knew about the True Form Sect and the refining of gods, it was not clear whether it learned it from the mouths of the resentful ghosts in Lingshan Mountain.
Looking at it now, he said that he wanted to protect people like himself, but he didn’t know if he would change his face again in the next moment!
Wu Meng obviously understood this.
As the mountain owner of Coffin City, according to ancient sayings, he is the earth emperor. In today's terms, it is the leader of a city. Over the years, except for Lou He and Zeng Jianqiu, no one had disobeyed him, let alone shouted the word "go away" in front of him.
However, looking at the huge demon king's remains in front of him, the word "go" not only did not arouse the slightest displeasure in him, but actually made him feel a little relieved in his heart!
He didn't even look at Zhao Qi for a second time, nor did he say another word - the densely packed coffin spirits in the blood mist suddenly disappeared, and it only took two or three breaths for the entire Coffin City Mansion to be reduced to one. The vague outline, and after a moment, the blood mist rolled up, and the outline disappeared.
When you encounter this kind of thing in Lingshan, don't look at it, don't listen to it, don't think about it, and immediately cut off all contact. This is the best policy!
When the blood mist in front of him subsided, Zhao Qi turned around and looked into the ancient cave.
The three swordsmen stood together. Pan Muyun and Helianji held the flying swords in their hands to prevent him from seeing them. Zeng Jianqiu's flying sword was sent to Li Wuxiang, and he temporarily replaced it with the dagger on his waist, but he was still holding it, not pointing the blade towards Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi clasped his hands behind his back and took two steps at the entrance of the cave. He glanced at the three of them, smiled disdainfully, and then looked away.
"You little guys, three living people and one ghost, are so brave that you dare to break into my mind. It's funny." He faced outside the ancient cave and took a deep breath.
This breath did not even stir up the surrounding blood mist. However, the densely packed, maggot-like resentful ghosts under the huge demon king's bones suddenly became silent - what was still some flesh and blood suddenly turned black. of shriveled skin. What was originally only a skeleton was turned into powder in an instant. The screams in the sea of blood in Lingshan never stopped, but at this moment, it suddenly became quiet for a moment. The screams of the three people immediately sounded in their ears, and they even heard their own heartbeats and blood flow!
Zeng Jianqiu and the two people next to him looked at each other and felt numb - at the bottom of this spiritual mountain is a sea of blood, and dead ghosts and the like are all in this sea of blood. On the upper level, there are countless heavens, all occupied by powerful gods and monsters.
There are naturally strong people in the sea of blood, but looking at this thing in front of you... it should stay in the upper heaven, right?
Why are you here! ?
"Thank you..." Zeng Jianqiu only uttered two words, and then considered the words in his mind - what should I call this thing? Some spirits love to act upright, while others are extremely disgusted. Looking at it like this, I really can’t tell which one I will like. He thought over and over again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, please help..."
Zhao Qi suddenly laughed: "Haha, actually the interesting thing is not them, but you——"
Zeng Jianqiu was stunned: "Me?"
"Shut up." Zhao Qi suddenly turned around and glared at him fiercely, "Did I talk to a filthy person like you?"
Zeng Jianqiu fell silent.
After a while, I heard the real Zhao Qi's voice, timid and frightened: "Then...that's me?"
"That's right, it's you." The Demon King raised his head and sighed, "My true spirit woke you little ones up, and I didn't want to pay attention to it at first. But after hearing what you said, I wanted to remind you You say——"
"What's your name? Li Wuxiang?"
"...Yes, yes."
"Let me tell you, no one named Li is good. I heard you say that you accepted him as your disciple and treated him well? But he stabbed you, didn't he? Haha, this kind of person always talks about others. You can’t believe what you’re talking about. Do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand." It was extremely difficult for Zhao Qi to be able to say these words.
Because when the demon king living in his body spoke, what he heard was not all human voices, but a huge roar that sounded in his consciousness, like some kind of wild beast, like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger, which shocked him The spirit is swaying, as if it is about to disperse.
There is another bit of fear lingering in my heart - how could such a demon king appear because of the few words he just said?
But if it weren't for that, what nonsense would he be talking about with someone like himself who is no different from a resentful ghost?
At this time, Zhao Qi heard the demon king's voice roaring and echoing in his consciousness: "It's good to understand. I hate idiots who don't understand the most. Let me ask you, what time is it now? Is Li Ye dead? ”
These words made Zhao Qi feel like he couldn't turn his head around, and Zeng Jianqiu and the other three were also taken aback.
They originally thought that this person might be a remnant of the ancient times. But listening to what he said before, it sounded more like a human being, so maybe it was some kind of spirit.
However, when he asked about "Li Ye" at this moment, he still asked "Is he dead?" This meant that when he died, was he in the Ye Dynasty? In that melee between the True Immortal and the Golden Immortal?
He even dared to call Tai Yi by his first name!
In other places, such as the underworld, there are many spirits who like to pretend to be righteous gods and have a loud tone. However, this is Lingshan. If Donghuang Taiyi is still there, he will be noticed as soon as he says the word "Li Ye"!
He seemed to be really unafraid, and he sounded quite familiar with the emperor "Li Ye" who had not yet become a Golden Immortal.
Zeng Jianqiu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately thought about it carefully - when people talk about the great battle that destroyed the Ye Dynasty three thousand years ago, they often only talk about the thirty-six true immortals and the eight golden immortals.
But in fact, not only were the gods fighting at that time, but the mortal world was also in constant war.
The seven great emperors all had their own religious armies at that time, and the Ye Dynasty also had millions of troops. It took hundreds of years of strangulation for several parties to gradually determine the winner. The red ground was thousands of miles away, and the fields were filled with bones. Even now, they can often be found in the wilderness. Countless remains were unearthed.
During these hundreds of years, both sides had a lot of help. Even many demon kings who had been driven back into the wilderness outside of enlightenment during the Ye Dynasty were invited out of the mountains by both sides.
If this person was the one who helped Taiyi in the first place... As soon as this thought popped up, Zeng Jianqiu immediately felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Jian Zong had been at a disadvantage against the Six Mysterious Sects for so many years, and he knew that there were more than the same reasons. But everyone knew that a very important point was that Taiyi was suppressed. The true spirit of Taiyi in Master Jiang is probably just a bit of Taiyi's consciousness left in the Lingshan Mountain. It is like a shadow or a mark, and is not a real god.
But the true spirit of the person in front of him was lifelike. It was hard to tell whether it was a true spirit or a wisp of soul. If it's the latter, then the Sword Sect has someone to rely on in Lingshan!
Seeing Zhao Qi speechless, Zeng Jianqiu felt his heart change and said: "This senior demon king, the three of us are all sword sects——"
The Demon King turned to look at him and narrowed his eyes.
Zeng Jianqiu immediately stopped talking and bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
After a while, I heard him sneer: "Demon King? Humph, do you think I am one of those rubbish? Tell you, I am an extraterrestrial demon!"
Zeng Jianqiu immediately said: "Yes, Demon Lord."
The Demon King frowned again: "Forget it, I see you are still a bit brave, call me Ninth Young Master. What is the Sword Sect?"
"Ninth Young Master...do you know Donghuang Taiyi?"
Mr. Jiu looked at him and smiled: "Why, do you think a four-letter name is easier to pronounce than a two-letter name?"
Zeng Jianqiu felt his heart suddenly relax: "Donghuang Taiyi is the emperor enshrined by our Jianzong, so we dare not use his honorable name. Emperor Taiyi fell three thousand years ago. Jianzong is the legal system left by Taiyi three thousand years ago. We The three of them are all disciples of the Sword Sect... Many thanks to the Ninth Young Master for saving me.”
The Ninth Young Master frowned: "Fell? Dead? What about the others? What about the seven? Are they dead?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This is Lingshan, Ninth Young Master, I can't say much. I can only say that the seven you mentioned are still there. As for Emperor Tai Da, he was suppressed. We, the Sword Sect, have been trying to rescue Emperor Tai Da for thousands of years. Come out.”
"You? Rescue? Hahahahaha." Ninth Young Master laughed heartily, and his face became gloomy again, "Li Ye really doesn't live up to expectations. I have already said that it is useless, why are you so anxious? You are putting me on this ghost place.”
His words were ambiguous. Zeng Jianqiu thought for a while before asking: "Ninth Young Master, it's Emperor Tai. He asked you to guard here——"
Ninth Young Master looked at him sideways: "Do you think he ordered me?"
"I can't control it."
"Haha, that's right. You are a very sensible person." Ninth Young Master stared at him for a while, showing a smile, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Let me tell you, I can't help you. I'm too lazy to help you. This is destiny, and destiny cannot be violated. "Tsk, tsk, what are you thinking about? Don't make it difficult for yourself. You can't figure it out even if you want to."
"As for you." He raised his hands and rubbed his face, then rubbed off a large piece of flesh and blood, revealing his white teeth. The Ninth Young Master frowned and shook his head, "Zhao Qi, right? He is interesting, but it is a pity that he is ugly - you were not that ugly when you were alive, right?"
Zeng Jianqiu immediately spoke: "Ninth Young Master, please forgive me for talking too much - this person's appearance in life was not bad. It is not a jade tree facing the wind, but it does not look like an eyesore."
The Ninth Young Master was not angry this time and just nodded: "Okay. From now on, you, Zhao Qi, will follow me. Your ancient cave is here, there is no need to leave. As for me, I still have to sleep, and when I wake up , every now and then, you tell me about things in the underworld, especially that..."
"Li Wuxiang. He is also a disciple of our Sword Sect."
"Well, tell me about Li Wuxiang, so that I can relieve my boredom." After saying this, he frowned when Zhao Qi didn't speak, "Did you listen? Are you a fool? ? Do you also accept fools in your sword sect?”
Zeng Jianqiu had not been with Zhao Qi for a long time. When Zhao Qi was still alive, he thought he was actually a very smart person. Then after death, when you arrive at Lingshan, you will be invaded by resentment, and your temperament will change somewhat.
But it won't be like this now, unable to say a word. He was worried about Zhao Qi for a moment, and answered on his behalf: "Ninth Young Master, he is not from our Jian Sect, but from the Ranshan Sect. The leader of the Ranshan Sect was also a monk from Taiyi Dao in the past, and his honorary name was Li Jiao Tu, I wonder if you have heard of Mr. Jiu.”
Zeng Jianqiu didn't know what the temperament of this demon king who claimed to be an extraterrestrial demon was, so he kept looking at his expression.
Zhao Qi's body was covered in blood. The Ninth Young Master just raised his hand and rubbed his face, and half of his face was gone. But even so, he could still see that Ninth Young Master was stunned for a moment when he heard the name "Li Jiaotu", and his expression became more relaxed.
...He also has connections with the Ranshan Sect?
Zeng Jianqiu immediately added: "Li Wuxiang is a disciple of our Jian Sect, but he is also... the current leader of the Ranshan Sect. However, the current situation of the Ranshan Sect is not very good. Perhaps the only serious disciple is this Zhao Qihe Li Wuxiang is gone.”
The Ninth Young Master shook his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he only said "ha".
At this moment, Zhao Qi finally spoke——
"Yai Sui." He said cautiously, "Ninth Young Master, is your name Ya Sui?"
The Ninth Young Master was silent for a moment: "Who told you?"
"The master...it was passed down from the master, saying..."
"Okay." Ninth Young Master waved his hand, looking a little uninterested, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep. You three, tell that Li Wuxiang after you go out, be his Ranshan Sect Master, and go to Jianzong to be a junior What do you mean? Get out!”
He waved his hand fiercely. Before Zeng Jianqiu could speak, he felt himself being carried by a strong wind. The blood mist in front of his eyes and the howling that had just begun in his ears disappeared.
After only a breath of time, there was only one Zhao Qi standing in this ancient cave.
But he remained motionless, and after a long time he slowly sat down cross-legged, picked up the piece of flesh and blood that had fallen to the ground, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
The Ninth Young Master was no longer with him, and he felt that he was about to be shaken away, and his consciousness began to gather again. However, at this moment, in his heart, he felt like a stormy sea had set off——
He knows who this Ninth Young Master is!
He knew why he saw his remains before!
The Patriarch of Ranshan, Yu Liejun Li Jiaotu, is different from the other thirty-five true immortals who were originally Taiyi.
Those thirty-five, plus the seven great emperors who followed, these forty-two were the first disciples of Donghuang Taiyi Li Ye, and there was no such ancestor from Ranshan among them.
It is said that the ancestor of Ranshan was originally just an ordinary person. He accidentally met an expert and was given a name and treated him like a brother. This is how he got the name "Li Jiaotu". Later, he obtained a treasure from the master and presented it to Emperor Ye, before he was accepted as his disciple, and he was regarded as an art master.
Zhao Puppet had told him these things before, and also mentioned the name of the master, but he also told Zhao Qi that he should just listen to such things as sect secrets and not take them seriously.
Because Emperor Ye is the founder of Taoism in the world, if the master Ranshan's founder met could actually "give him a name and a treasure", wouldn't his cultivation at that time be comparable to Emperor Ye? But such a person has neither become a true immortal nor a golden immortal, and is even unknown to anyone in the world. In all likelihood, he is a fabrication.
But this matter is indeed passed down from generation to generation by the Ranshan sect. It sounds like the founder is trying to put gold on his face so that people will think that he is another independent person outside the Taoist sect in the world. Pulse legal system. If the message is true and spreads widely, it will inevitably cause displeasure to other sects and cause a lot of trouble.
Zhao Qi had forgotten that name a long time ago, but after seeing this Ninth Young Master, he finally remembered it again - Yaizhen!
...Is there really such a person? !
Then this Ninth Young Master, Ya Sui... is he the real founder of the Ranshan Sect? !
……
Note 1: The word “cuan” (cuan) and food is something I coined just to contrast with the previous word. It is not a serious idiom. Readers who are still studying should not be led astray by me. Let me explain because the word Cuan is quite confusing. This character means to make a fire to cook, and the word "fire" in front of it is actually redundant.
Note 2: It has the same world view as "Inner Demon", but it is not the world view of "After a long time". Book friends who have not read "Inner Demon" will not be affected by their reading.
