Chapter 422: Immortal Secret

……

After writing the storybook and printing it into a book.

Yu Liang was walking in the county, preparing to distribute it.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. A figure stepped on auspicious clouds, descended from the sky, and landed steadily in a residential courtyard not far from Yu Liang.

Is this a cultivator?

Although Yu Liang had heard of it and wanted to contact it, this group of people was really far away from the immortal traces and could not be explored, so he had never seen it.

"It's an immortal!"

"The immortal is here again!"

"How many years have passed? Another immortal is going to appear in our county!"

"This time it's the Zhou family. They are so lucky!"

"Yes, yes!"

"..."

Most people were surprised by this situation.

But Yu Liang saw that several elderly people were not surprised to see a person flying down from the sky, but rather looked like they were used to it, so he curiously asked a gray-haired old man beside him:

"Old man, do you know this immortal?"

"Well, in our county, an immortal descends every few decades to recruit disciples with immortal affinity." The old man had a smug expression on his face when he said this.

"Immortal fate?" Yu Liang asked again: "Can I ask what exactly this immortal fate is?"

Hearing this question, the old man smiled proudly again, and then answered Yu Liang:

"You have asked the right person. If you ask others, they may not be able to answer, but I just happen to know this."

"The so-called immortal fate is that when you are born, you just catch up with the immortal opportunity, so that an immortal will descend from the sky to accept you as a disciple."

Hearing this answer, Yu Liang asked curiously: "What is the immortal opportunity you are talking about?"

"The immortal opportunity is that the time of birth is exactly when the five elements of heaven and earth are perfect." The old man stroked his beard with his hand and explained in detail.

Hearing this answer, Yu Liang was thoughtful. A person's birth time is the birth date.

A person's eight characters are composed of the year stems and branches, the month stems and branches, the day stems and branches, and the hour stems and branches, that is, they are composed of four heavenly stems and four earthly branches, and each heavenly stem and earthly branch has a corresponding five-element attribute.

The eight characters are complete, and the five elements are perfect. If Yu Liang remembers correctly, in numerology, it often represents a stable fortune.

This stability may be what the cultivators value!

Looking at the house where the cultivator fell in front of him.

Yu Liang was thinking about going forward to contact this so-called cultivator.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting in the house.

Hmm? What's going on?

Yu Liang hurriedly jumped twice and came to the wall of the house to overlook the situation inside.

I saw the cultivator, with a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword shone with a cold light in the sun. Although his face looked young, the vicissitudes and wisdom revealed in his eyes were far beyond ordinary people. The white robe fluttered, and every step he moved was like flowing clouds and water, both elegant and powerful.

Confronting him was a masked man with strange attire. His clothes were bright and mysterious, giving people a sense of remoteness and antiquity. He was holding a newborn baby in his arms.

"You dare to covet my sect's immortal seedlings, you are really courting death!"

After saying that, the immortal cultivator took the initiative, raised his long sword, and shot out an invisible sword energy, which went straight to the middle of the masked man.

The masked man flashed and cleverly avoided the sword, while not forgetting to tightly protect the baby in his arms.

The immortal cultivator did not give up, and attacked his opponent with sword skills like a storm. Each sword was aimed at the vital point, but cleverly avoided the baby, showing his superb swordsmanship and precise control.

Although the masked man was holding the baby, his movements were still agile. He dodged flexibly in the courtyard, and at the same time drew a short knife from his waist and started a close combat with the immortal cultivator.

The figures of the two moved quickly in the courtyard, and the sword light and knife shadow intertwined into a thrilling picture.

Unknowingly.

The battle went from underground to the sky.

The immortal cultivator was anxious. He was worried that a long battle would disturb the baby, so his offensive became more fierce.

The masked man, on the other hand, was focused and tried his best to deal with the cultivator's attack. Sometimes he even used the baby in his arms as a shield to force the other party to withdraw his attack.

As time passed, the cultivator gradually gained the upper hand. He caught a tiny flaw in the masked man and pointed his long sword at his throat.

The masked man had no choice but to step back a few steps, but he still held the baby tightly, with no intention of letting go.

The cultivator took a deep breath, he knew that this battle could not continue. He slowly put down the long sword in his hand and looked at the masked man with complicated eyes.

The masked man also stopped and confronted the cultivator quietly.

"Hand over the seedling!"

"I can give you a way out."

Hearing this, the masked man did not speak, but just looked at him silently, with a mocking look in his eyes.

Then, the cultivator began to twitch slightly all over his body as if he was poisoned, red spots appeared on his skin, and blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth.

In response, he raised his hand and pointed the sword at the other party and said hatefully: "Yidu, you are a Gu Master!"

The masked man still did not speak, but the mockery in his eyes seemed to be deeper.

The symptoms of the cultivator's body became more and more serious, his convulsions became more and more violent, the red spots gradually expanded, and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

He held the sword tightly, the tip of the sword pointed at the masked man, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Yu Liang had been secretly watching the fight between the two.

He didn't expect that the masked man was actually a Gu Master, and Yu Liang didn't even notice the so-called "poison" he used.

Gu Masters use the means of controlling Gu insects and releasing poisons, often controlling life in secret, making it hard to guard against.

Yu Liang had dealt with them before, so he had inquired about some information and learned a little about them.

But today, he saw with his own eyes and found that he might have underestimated the mysterious and strangeness of these Gu Masters.

The masked man looked at the painful struggle of the immortal cultivator, and seemed not to be in a hurry to take action. He just stood there quietly, as if appreciating the pain of the immortal cultivator.

The immortal cultivator tried hard to stay awake, but the invasion of the poison made it increasingly difficult for him to support himself.

He felt that his vitality was rapidly fading, and the masked man in front of him still looked at him indifferently, as if waiting for something.

At this critical moment of life and death, a strong desire to survive surged in the heart of the immortal cultivator. He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the poison in his body, and at the same time waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards the masked man.

However, his body had been seriously injured, and the power of this sword was not as strong as before. The masked man easily dodged his attack and hit him in the chest with a backhand palm.

The cultivator fell heavily to the ground, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

Just at this time.

Yu Liang suddenly made a move.

"Two dragons grab the pearl!"

He rushed towards the masked Gu Master like lightning.

His hands transformed into two dragon-shaped energy, like two giant dragons fighting for the pearl, and attacked the masked man with great momentum.

The masked man obviously did not expect such a change, but he reacted very quickly, and tried to avoid this sudden attack with a flash.

However, Yu Liang's "Two Dragons Grabbing the Pearl" attack was fierce and the angle was tricky. Although the masked man dodged one of the dragon-shaped energy, he was hit hard by the other one.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the masked man's body was struck by lightning, and the whole person fell backwards. At the same time, the baby in his arms was also taken away by Yu Liang.

The moment he fell to the ground, he pushed off the ground with his foot, rolled backwards with the force, and stood up steadily.

At this time, the previous mockery and contempt in his eyes were gone, replaced by solemnity and vigilance.
