Chapter 193 Before the Shower
Chu Tai stepped forward and was about to use the Liuhe Circle to catch the flying fallen leaves, but was stopped by Zhuang Kong. He stepped forward and held the Xunfeng Yiqi Treasure Fan in one hand. A sharp swipe.
The clear light surged up, and the strong wind suddenly rose. The fallen bamboo leaves were stirred by the wind, like ink dripping into the pond, and quickly turned into strands of powdery dust, spreading outward.
Zhuang Kong secretly clasped an orb in his other hand to protect his whole body. When he moved forward to deal with the enemy, he also kept a little distance from Chu Tai and Shi Ruotie.
Such an interesting action made Chu Tai's eyes linger for a moment, but soon his attention was attracted by the old man opposite.
The skinny fingers pulled back, and the surrounding yin and evil spirits gathered together. Black shadows and will-o'-the-wisps emerged, and slender bamboo swords appeared and disappeared inside.
The sound of howling ghosts and wolves echoed around, making Chu Tai frown, and Shi Ruotie, who fell to the ground, fainted.
But just when the old man was about to strangle Chu Tai and others, green light appeared in the air, and then a handsome young man walked out. He looked at the old man and chuckled.
"Old Taoist Baizhu, you are also a senior of the Zhushan Sect. Isn't it a little too much to bully a sixth-grade monk like this?"
As he spoke, the young man also released his own Weilan Sword. , slashing towards Baizhu.
At the same time, the clear light surged up in Taoist Mujing's hand, holding the Qingdi Rongyu flag. The fragrant flag pattern of hundreds of flowers on it burst into clear light, and the shadows of thousands of flowers emerged, blocking the strangulating Haunted Bamboo Sword.
Seeing this, Old Taoist Baizhu felt a few rays of vitality surging in the distance. After putting down his harsh words, he turned into blue light and disappeared.
Zhuang Ming also wanted to leave. Zhuang Kong wanted to stop him, but before he could speak, he saw the other party holding Yun Guang away.
Seeing this, Zhuang Kong wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Taoist Mu Jing.
“Beware of traps.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Kong was stunned for a moment, sighed, and came to Mu Jing's side to greet Chu Tai.
Chu Tai returned the favor and then asked Taoist Mu Jing about the beginning and end of the matter.
"This is not the place to talk. Fellow Taoist, come with me."
As he said that, Taoist Mu Jing flicked his long sleeves, rolled up the unconscious Shi Ruotie, and took Chu Tai with him The two returned to the dojo temporarily opened by Wu Sanren.
Taoist Zhengyang and Mo Rui were quite surprised to see Chu Tai. Taoist Zhengyang even stepped forward to ask why Chu Tai was here.
"I heard on the road that you were fighting with the Zhushan Cult, so I came to take a look. What's going on?"
Hearing Chu Tai's question, Taoist Zhengyang immediately showed an angry look.
"The Zhushan Sect really deceived people too much this time!"
Taoist Zhengyang was a little excited. It turned out that he and Mo Rui invited the other three comrades that day, and they went there as soon as possible. Go to Fu Xiaoshan and discuss with his master.
“Originally, we all agreed that Fu Xiaoshan and the others would provide two magical weapons that had completed the refinement of form and quality and had high potential as compensation. Fu Xiaoshan would also be banned for a period of sixty years. Who would have thought that the Zhushan Cult would actually intervene? One hand.”
Looking at the angry Taoist Zhengyang, Chu Tai followed his tone and said a few words. He looked at Taoist Mu Jing and Mo Wei beside him. Mu Jing explained: "What Zhengyang said this time is good. Let's discuss it with the other party." It was fine, but the Zhushan Cult suddenly intervened and almost killed Fu Xiaoshan in front of us."
"It's really ridiculous that Zhengyang, the man who was being hunted by a conspiracy, chose to forgive. Do they, the Zhushan Cult, have the nerve to take action?”
As he said that, Taoist Mu Jing thought that Chu Tai didn’t know the cause and effect, so he added: “We didn’t know until we arrived at the scene that the so-called private transaction "Nine Heavens Cloud Seal Cutting Skill" "In fact, someone within the Zhushan Sect is plotting against the Fuxiaoshan lineage, trying to seize the mountain-holding treasure that they have been cultivating for many years."
"Fortunately, this plot is only done by the Zhushan Sect's Baizhu Lao Dao and Cuizhu. Taoist Taoist's idea, otherwise the five of us really can't hold on." At this last sentence, Taoist Mu Jing couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tai thought for a while and asked who were on both sides of this fight.
“On our side, apart from the five of us, there are fellow Taoist Cuihuang, the junior sister of Mu Jing, fellow Taoist Zhuangkong and fellow Taoist Shi Ruotie who came after hearing the news, who we met in Chu State that day. Taoist fellow Jingguang also wrote to ask if he needed help."
"In addition, there are Taoist priests Li Hong from Fangjingshan, Shangjian Taoist from Jinzhongshan, brothers Xiangying and Xiangxuan from Shi'ertan..."
Taoist Zhengyang first mentioned a few monks that Chu Tai was familiar with, and then he mentioned a dozen or so cultivators from different forces.
Mo Rui on the side also added: "Although these are all side sects, they have all entered the sixth rank, and they are all friends of Zhengyang Taoist. They have received Zhengyang's favor, so they know Zhengyang." People like Yang rush to help after hearing the news. Let Zhengyang take you to meet those colleagues and get to know each other."
Nodding, Chu Tai asked again: "Where is the Zhushan Sect?" Come to help, plus Dan Jing and the other three local sixth-grade monks from the Zhushan Sect, there are two fifth-grade monks and seven sixth-grade monks from the Zhushan Sect alone, followed by Fu Xiaoshan's junior sisters Wang Xiaoling and Ma Luodong. Madam Luohua, Taoist Nanmu Xiliu and other seven or eight local cultivators were originally inferior to us, but with Taoist friend Taining, our combat power is not much different."
Taoist Mujing replied to Chu Tai. question, but it also made Chu Tai a little confused. Zhuang Kong, who had heard about Zhushan's assistant for the first time, was a little strange.
"Wasn't Fu Xiaoshan almost killed? Why is his junior sister still willing to help?"
Chu Tai was also a little curious at first, but when Zhuang's empty words came out, he wanted to understand. He said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the Fuxiaoshan lineage has been annexed by the Zhushan Sect. As far as I know, the Zhushan Sect, as a side sect, claims to have three thousand wonderful methods, but many of them are not originally possessed by the Zhushan Sect. ”
Chu Tai didn't say the following words very clearly, but everyone present roughly understood the meaning.
Zhuang Kong even showed a shameless expression: "I have been in contact with several monks from the Zhushan Sect in the past. They also invited me to join the Zhushan lineage. They said that as long as I paid a small price, there would be three thousand wonderful methods. There are many options to choose from. I didn’t expect this wonderful method to come from this way! I think those people were also interested in the "Beiming Xiaoyao Tianwai Chapter" that I compiled from the sages' classics."
This is the first sentence. When he came out, Mo Rui was a little surprised and looked at Zhuang Kong and said: "Taoist friend actually created his own method to achieve the Taoist practice he has today?"
"In fact, it can't be regarded as self-created. I have loved all kinds of things since I was a child. Taoist classics, my family was well off, and my parents loved me and were willing to collect all kinds of Taoist classics for me. Finally, by chance, I found an annotation of Xiaoyaoyou by a sage in a volume of the Fragments of Scripture. I read it. Fascinated, I entered the Tao while half asleep and half awake."
Zhuang Kong's words made everyone envious, and Taoist Mu Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Senior who can lead people to the Tao and leave comments. At least it is the fifth level realm, which allows you to practice to the fifth level. I guess it was left by the fourth level heavenly being. You are really lucky, but why is your brother’s method different from yours?”
"I don't know. In fact, I was the one who taught him his method in the beginning, but his personality didn't fit in with my way of practice. His practice speed was much slower than mine. He even suspected that I deliberately hid part of the essence of practice. This is also The reason why he ran away from home later."
When Zhuang Kong said this, he sighed and said somewhat helplessly: "When I saw him again, his true energy had become what it is now. , I asked several times but he was unwilling to answer, and even wanted to take away my true energy."
"Thanks to my special true energy, he never really fell into evil ways and restrained himself when doing it. , It didn’t have much impact on me, but it was because of my instinctive resistance that I was slightly injured, which made him even more repulsive to me.”
After hearing this, several people were also filled with emotion. Taoist Zhengyang couldn't help but ask what Zhuang Kong planned to do if he caught Zhuang Ming this time.
"Probably after confirming that his magic power is not a demonic system, that his breath is not contaminated with sin, and that his mind is not under duress, let him go."
Zhuang Kong's answer surprised a few people, and Mo Rui even asked: "Why is that so."
"After all, he has achieved success in cultivation. As an elder brother, after I made sure that he did not fall into the devil's path, After he has committed no sin, why should he be detained?"
Chu Tai nodded when he heard this and said: "From what Taoist Zhuangkong described, since his brother has a knot in his heart, it is more likely to be counterproductive to keep him by his side forcibly. If the other party has no major problems, letting go might not be a good choice. In this case, when the battle begins, let Fellow Daoist Zhuang Kong keep an eye on Zhuang Ming, Fellow Daoist Mu Jing, what do you think?"
As he said that, Chu Tai looked at Taoist Mu Jing and got the word "good".
