Chapter 6: The Unluckiest Patriarch Xuemei (Second Update)
Zhong Shan and his party of twelve went north to the Ice God Palace.
Although there are still two years before the sacrificial ceremony, and only one year to reach the extreme north, Zhong Shan has not stopped all the way. After all, many things are better sooner rather than later, who can guarantee that some special things will not happen in the middle ?
Sure enough, four months after leaving Daqing, everyone heard some interesting information while resting in a city.
It was a fairy city, and Zhong Shan and his party settled in a restaurant for the time being.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard someone say: "I heard that Patriarch Xuemei is gone!", "Yes, these years, thanks to Patriarch Xuemei, otherwise, our city would have been..., alas!" , the other sighed.
"Old Patriarch Xuemei?" Zhong Shan grinned slightly.
It's been a long time since I heard this name. Isn't Patriarch Xuemei the same ancestor who snatched the Qiankun Ding and Zhaoyao Banner in the territory of Feng Tomb and the Realm of Female Concubine? He also has the eighth supernatural power in the world, Plum Blossom Eye, which is the supernatural power of copying.
It's a pity that it was Zhong Shan who met back then, and when Zhong Shan's evil pupils were opened, the ancestor Xuemei not only failed to copy, but also absorbed all the blue light. This great fairy.
Later, due to disputes among the group of people, Patriarch Xuemei left sadly and disappeared.
Zhong Shan didn't go forward to inquire, because from the tone of these guests, it was obvious that Patriarch Xuemei was very famous here.
When you come to a courtyard, someone from the restaurant will naturally come to greet you. And Zhong Shan's group of people are so popular that they even attracted the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, send this item to the City Lord's Mansion, and let your City Lords come here!" Zhong Shan said lightly, taking out a wooden box.
Shopkeeper: "...?"
The shopkeeper is a little confused, what tone is this? Let your city lord come here? Even if you have status, you are not so exaggerated, who is the city owner? Can you come and go when you call?
The shopkeeper regretted greeting these people, but when he lowered his head and saw the wooden box, the shopkeeper seemed to have been hit by the immobilization spell.
"Immortal wood?" A greedy green light suddenly appeared in the shopkeeper's eyes.
Immortal wood, that is the dream treasure of wood-type cultivators, even immortals will be jealous, a small piece of immortal wood can make a top-level celestial weapon.
In front of you, the size of a palm, this, this can be used to create a great fairy weapon. baby!
But this fairy wood, just made a box, a box?
The shopkeeper is now in the late Yuanying period. This kind of treasure is a legendary existence. It actually appeared in front of me. I was shocked for a while, and realized that the group of people in front of me was not just as simple as nobles.
The boxes containing the treasures are made of fairy wood, what will be inside?
"Tell him, I just want to ask him something, this is considered a reward, let him come quickly!" Zhong Shan said lightly.
"Yes, yes!" the shopkeeper said respectfully.
Killing and seizing treasure? The shopkeeper also thought about it, but the shopkeeper still had some eyesight. This group of people didn't even pay attention to the city lord, and they just grabbed guns if they wanted to die.
The shopkeeper went to the City Lord's Mansion in person.
Along the way, although there is no pass, as long as the box is shown at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, someone will naturally report it.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a man in black robe looked at the small box in front of him. The shopkeeper stood aside.
"What did that person say?" the black-robed city lord asked without opening the box.
"He said, he just wanted to ask you something, this is a reward, let you go!", the shopkeeper said immediately.
The city lord frowned, looked at the box and said in a deep voice, "What a big tone. Huh!"
Obviously, the black-robed city lord was very uncomfortable with other people's commanding tone.
"City Master, why don't you open it and see what those people mean!" said a subordinate beside him.
"Yeah!", the city lord nodded.
Gently open the box, once the box is opened, a ray of light emerges from the inside, at the same time, the tangy aroma immediately fills the room, almost everyone can't help but take a deep breath, and then the whole body feels relieved, and the shopkeeper's feeling is like a breakthrough in an instant.
There is only one elixir in the box, which is colorful and extremely dazzling.
"Five-Color Good Fortune Pill? Ancient Immortal Pill?" a subordinate exclaimed.
"One elixir can be exchanged for the ancient elixir of a city?" Another person exclaimed.
"Crack!", the city lord immediately closed the lid.
The city lord's scalp tingled for a while. At the same time, I was afraid of Zhong Shan and his party in the restaurant. What kind of person would be able to throw the ancient elixir casually?
"Treasurer Li, lead the way!", the city lord said immediately.
Putting away the box, the city lord didn't feel the slightest joy, only a sense of fear. After all, this is just a small city in the current dynasty, and the highest self-cultivation is just an earth immortal. The pressure on this ancient elixir was too great.
When the city lord arrived at the restaurant, Zhong Shan and his party had just tasted the color of the city and waited after making tea.
"The Lord of the Black City, Wang Zhengqing, has met all the seniors!", the Lord Wang said respectfully.
Wang Zhengqing didn't put on any airs, because he knew some airs couldn't be put on.
"It's okay, sit down, I'll ask you something!" Zhong Shan said.
"Okay!", City Lord Wang carefully sat down beside him.
"I heard just now that there used to be an ancestor Xuemei here?" Zhong Shan asked.
Zhong Shan understands that if you ask ordinary people about some things, it is likely to spread false information, and it is more accurate to ask those in power.
"Old Patriarch Xuemei? In our city, how can we have the qualifications to bother him specially? He protected us once, so he left recently!" said the City Lord.
"Oh? Tell me in detail!", Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, speaking of it, Patriarch Xuemei has always been famous in the surrounding territories. I heard that he is a powerful tomb master, but he was very cold before. If you want to find him to calculate things, you have to pay a huge price. But, counting A hundred years ago, it seemed that after going to the territory of the Wind Tomb, it was different when I came back!" said City Lord Wang.
"Different? Why is it different?" Zhong Shan asked.
"He became extremely unlucky, with bad luck and disasters everywhere. I heard that he returned from a serious injury and passed by a sea area. When the two sects were fighting each other, he didn't know what he said. The two sects had ambiguity. Attacking the ancestor Xuemei, the ancestor Xuemei killed the elites of the two sects in a fit of anger, but also attracted the ancestors behind the two sects to hunt down the ancestor Xuemei for a long time, anyway, somehow, originally Two ancestors hunted him down, and three years later, six ancestors chased him down, all the way back, escaped death, but when he returned to his dojo, he found that his dojo had been razed to the ground."
"Ancestor Xuemei's misfortune is not over yet. When he just restored the dojo, a meteor shower fell in the sky, destroying all his efforts, and the six ancestors also chased him to his dojo. As a result, Mr. Xuemei The ancestor's destroyed body was completely destroyed, so he can only resurrect his soul with his corpse."
Beside Zhong Shan, a group of courtiers unconsciously looked at Zhong Shan.
"It's a pity, what a coincidence, that corpse was the father of another ancestor, and that ancestor was naturally unwilling, so after another round of hunting, he finally had no choice but dragged his injured spirit to regain his home. Without him, it was only a mortal who he seized again, but that mortal was the reincarnation of the ancestor father, so that would be equivalent to killing the soul of the ancestor father, and the bad luck of the ancestor Xuemei can be imagined I know!" City Lord Wang sighed.
It was the first time City Master Wang saw such an unlucky person.
"Borrowing the corpse and returning the soul again, I can save my life. Unfortunately, the cultivation base of the ancestor immortal is gone forever. Even now, he is still just an ancient immortal." City Lord Wang said.
"Then he is too unlucky!", Zhong Shan's face twitched.
Although he was once an enemy, Zhong Shan was still shocked by his bad luck. Absorbing all the blue light of the fierce pupil, the effect is so shocking.
"Who's to say it's not? After Ancestor Xuemei came back to life again, his bad luck didn't seem to be over yet. Therefore, he could only rely on "accumulating yin virtues" to slowly resolve the bad luck on his body. Over the years, he has been running around and doing good deeds. Our Dynasty is relatively weak. When the surrounding armies invaded, he fought around many times to protect the hundreds of millions of people in our Dynasty. "Said City Lord Wang.
"Ancestor Xuemei has really changed!" Zhong Shan laughed.
"He can't do anything about it. For hundreds of years, only by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, can he slowly suppress the bad luck. I heard that one year, after Patriarch Xuemei gave away several of his treasures to do good deeds, he felt unhappy. , stopped accumulating yin virtues, and as a result, in the second year, more than a dozen enemies came to the door, and it was a good escape, with bad luck, so I had to continue accumulating yin virtues!" said City Lord Wang.
"It's really aggrieved for a person to be unlucky for hundreds of years!" Dao Rentu said.
"It's more than anger, if it were me, I would even want to die!" Jin Peng shook his head and said.
"Although being forced to be good at accumulating virtue, it is still a good deed after all!" Zhong Shan said with a strange smile.
"Yes, I am the beneficiary. I really hope there are more people like this! Otherwise, this disaster will not be so difficult for me." City Lord Wang nodded and said.
"oh?"
"Ancestor Xuemei suddenly left, and the surrounding dynasties are ready to attack and attack again, so now the people are looking forward to the early return of Ancestor Xuemei!"
"Ancestor Xuemei left? Why?"
"I heard that I mentioned to a prince that Patriarch Xuemei is going to participate in two grand events, and it may take two or three years before he comes back!", City Lord Wang said.
"Two grand events?" Zhong Shan became serious.
"Yes, firstly, it seems like Zhuangzi preaching, and secondly, it seems to be a place in the extreme north, some kind of Ice God Palace." City Master Wang said.
"Ice God Palace?" Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes.
"Well, I don't know the details, but I heard that he had participated in some grand event of the Ice God Palace before, and two months later, when Zhuangzi gave a lecture, he seemed to be looking for a way to relieve his own bad luck. It should be After Zhuangzi preached, he will go to Ice God Palace." City Master Wang said truthfully.
At the same time, Zhong Shan made a move, and an invitation card appeared in his hand.
The cover of the invitation is "Zhuang Zhou Xiaomeng, four words. Inside, it is a letter inviting Zhong Shan to go. It is from Yilanque.
Yi Lanque, the person who remembers the family in the underworld of the Xiaoqian world, once dealt with the Tianjia in the underworld with Zhong Shan, his wisdom is amazing, and he even subdued the beast Rolleng of the Xiaoqian world. When the sky was opened, the heroes aimed at Da Qing, and Yi Lanque begged the ancestor of the Yi family, Yi Siqi, to help Da Qing, and Yi Siqi was a disciple of Zhuang Zi.
Therefore, Zhong Shan still owes Lan Que a favor. However, this trip to the extreme north cannot be distracted, so Zhong Shan did not go to Zhuangzi Daochang. But now it seems that everything is still too late. Zhuangzi opened the altar to preach? Zhong Shan became slightly interested.
