Chapter 0528 Ninth-Grade Magical Instrument
At the beginning, the ice and snow on the mountain peaks swept down the mountain with a loud rumbling sound, like an angry sea wave from the Sword Washing Pond. Just as the demon-invading Taoist priests flew away from the mountain col where they were camping, the real mountain hidden under the ice and snow suddenly collapsed, large and small. Stones were flying everywhere like raindrops.
Everyone's expression changed, and they finally understood why Zuo Liuying ordered them to evacuate immediately. They all speeded up and did not stop until they were dozens of miles away.
The roaring sound under the snow is still heard continuously, but Moshan Mountain has disappeared. Just like its name, it has been completely destroyed, and its position cannot even be found in future legends.
The old camp of the Taoist priests was completely submerged in gravel, ice and snow.
Xin Youtao couldn't bear it anymore, so he flew to the front and stopped Zuo Liuying and Mu Xingqiu, "What on earth is going on? Who knocked down the snow mountain? Is it to kill us people?"
This was everyone's doubt, even Mu Xingqiu was confused.
Zuo Liuying stopped in the air and did not answer Xin Youtao's question. He turned around and looked at Moshan Mountain. He seemed to have seen something bad. He lowered his height and continued flying to the north at a faster speed.
Xin Youtao looked at Mu Xingqiu blankly.
"Follow him first." Mu Xingqiu said. After all, Zuo Liuying had just saved everyone once, so there was no need to doubt him in this situation.
Zuo Liuying led everyone to fly for several hours, and did not stop until midnight. During this period, he kept changing directions, as if he was avoiding a vicious pursuer. His speed was too fast, and the Taoist priests with weak magic power could only barely keep up. .
There is also a demonic Taoist named Gan Zhiwei and several restless Yashan Taoist priests in the team, who become a drag on everyone.
Zuo Liuying stopped at the right time, because the Taoist priests were becoming more and more doubtful, and their gratitude to Zuo Liuying was turning into resentment.
I don't know when it started snowing again, and it was falling silently. The Taoist priests were in the mountains, surrounded by darkness. Their presence could not be felt until the cold snowflakes fell on their faces and penetrated into their necks.
Only Zuo Liuying had a small ball of light in his hand, and relying on it, some Taoist priests did not lose their direction even though they fell behind.
No one gave the order, but everyone held their breath and moved as close as possible, waiting for the Taoist priest behind to catch up and for Zuo Liuying to give everyone an explanation.
A loud voice sounded in the dark night, "What's the point of running away? We should have died in our hometown of Laozu Peak. It would be a mistake to linger on. Look at what we are like now. We have become the target of the Taoist order!"
No one catered to these words, but no one refuted them. Everyone felt similar to a bereaved dog in their hearts, and secretly asked themselves: Why didn't they commit suicide on the battlefield to eliminate the demon? At least he would die a grand death, and his deeds would be spread for many years, and he would not be wandering in a land of monsters without even a specific goal.
Mu Xingqiu once helped the invading Taoist priests set their goals, but was forgotten in his cold heart.
The light in Zuo Liuying's hand became brighter and brighter, and finally covered a large area, revealing his figure and illuminating the dense flying snow.
The Taoist priests suddenly realized that their feet were only a few feet above the ground, so they all landed and walked towards the center of the light.
They stood on a hillside, Zuo Liuying stood at the highest point, and Flea stood beside him. When he saw everyone gathered, he waved to Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao happily walked over, not forgetting to wink at the bald man next to her. In the past, the bald man was responsible for conveying messages to Zuo Liuying, but now it was her turn.
Xiao Hao stood a few steps in front of Zuo Liuying, transmitting words very quickly without even thinking, as if Zuo Liuying was speaking directly with her mouth.
"Mu Xingqiu, you shouldn't have released that ball of light. This was a mistake." Xiao Hao's first words were directed at his "master."
Mu Xingqiu stood in the front row and hummed casually. He was not going to argue until Zuo Liuying understood what he said. Xin Youtao was not happy. He was the one who released the ball of light and Zhou Qianhui. If there was any mistake, he would have to bear the responsibility. "Hey, hey, hey, don't rush to say right or wrong, first explain what happened when the snow mountain collapsed." , and the group of Yashan Taoist priests who bluffed and left, what kind of trick are we playing? Why are we running so far as if we were running for our lives?”
Xiaohao rolled her eyes in confusion, "Are you asking me?"
"Of course not, I'm asking...the one behind you...the first seat on the left." Xin Youtao involuntarily softened his tone and looked very respectful when he said the word "first seat".
"Then you should look at him. I'm just speaking for him. If you stare at me like this, I'll get nervous." Xiao Hao raised her hand around her neck and pointed at Zuo Liuying behind her.
Xin Youtao reluctantly raised his gaze and stared at Zuo Liuying for a while before having to move away. The face of an eighteen-year-old young man who looked too handsome was reflected in the dim yellow light and the snowy sky. , seemed weird and mysterious, Xin Youtao felt his heart beat faster, felt an inexplicable pressure, and his full energy instantly disappeared.
Not just him, most Taoist priests had the same feeling. It was one thing to complain silently in their hearts, but once they saw that face that was younger than them, no one dared to ask questions.
The crowd moved aside. Gan Zhiquan walked to the front and looked directly into Zuo Liuying's eyes without any hesitation. "Thank you for saving our lives, but since we are following you, we want to know the whole truth."
Zuo Liuying moved the hand holding the luminous orb in front of him, illuminating the Taoist priest who boldly asked him more clearly. Gan Zhiquan still did not avoid him, but everyone around him moved two or three steps away. Even Xin Youtao also moved toward him. Lean sideways.
Everyone had a common idea: Gan Zhiquan dared to question Zuo Liuying not because he was brave, but because he could not be considered a "living person" at all.
Xiaohao nodded and said, "Zuo Liuying said that the truth is very simple. The Taoist sect wanted you dead, but it was only doing it in secret. Because of that ball of light, I am afraid they will hunt you down publicly."
The Taoists were silent. Although there had been rumors that You Liao was sent by the Taoist sect to eliminate them, hunting them down publicly would mean that they would become the open enemies of the Taoist sect, no different from the demon clan.
"No, it's impossible." Xin Youtao shook his head, still refusing to look at Zuo Liuying. "The Taoist sect must have a reason to publicly eliminate these evil Taoist priests. They... We didn't do anything that would harm the interests of the Taoist sect. On the contrary, more than a month ago, we were at the forefront of slaying demons and exorcising demons, and we were almost hand-to-hand combat with Qi Wushang. The Taoist sect can't easily accuse us of a crime."
Mu Xingqiu stepped forward. He could look directly into Zuo Liuying's eyes. As early as when he just joined Pangshan, he had looked into the eyes of the head of the Forbidden Secret Section on the Old Ancestor Peak. "What on earth is that ball of light?"
"The Flowing Fire Golden Bell." Xiaohao's voice fell, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. "It turns out that it is the Flowing Fire Golden Bell, which has a shape but no substance, is shocking but silent, and is swift but traceless. It is a rare ninth-grade magic weapon. Oh, such a precious thing, I didn't see it clearly."
Mu Xingqiu saw it clearly, but he never thought that the thing would be a magic weapon.
There are many Taoist instruments, from the first grade to the ninth grade. Needless to say, the nine great treasures are the top treasures, not even in the eighty-one grades. As long as you join the Taoists of each mountain, even if you are a disciple who has not condensed Qi into Dan, you will at least have the opportunity to see your own treasures. Low-grade instruments are everywhere, and they may even fall into the hands of mortals. On the contrary, those high-grade instruments, especially those above the ninth grade, are extremely rare, and most Taoists will never come into contact with them in their lifetime.
The Flowing Fire Golden Bell is such a high-grade instrument. The worst is the ninth grade. Because it has no substance, no sound, and no trace, the patterns and records in the books are not detailed enough. Mu Xingqiu made a misjudgment and thought it was a spell. Zhou Qianhui must recognize it, but he said nothing.
Few people have seen the ninth grade instruments, but most Taoists have heard of them and know their uniqueness better. The Taoists fell silent again.
Xiao Qingtao said hesitantly: "The ninth-grade magic weapon is a demon-destroying item. It must be allowed by at least three masters to unseal it. It has not been used for many years. How could it be... How could it be..."
When the Old Ancestor Peak was destroyed and the disciples of Pangshan were trapped in Duanliu City, even if they used the Ancestral Tower, they had no ninth-grade magic weapon to use, because the enemy they faced was a demon, not a devil, and they could not find the three masters.
"Fei Ba." Mu Xingqiu remembered and simply recounted his experience in Bingcheng, "Fei Ba has the true method of the Demon Lord, so the Taoist sect can use the Flowing Fire Golden Bell on him, but the Flowing Fire Golden Bell did not kill him, but combined with him, giving him powerful power, so that he was determined to kill me."
Although he had suspected it long ago, once it was confirmed, Mu Xingqiu still felt angry and sad.
He originally thought that the light ball came from Yashan, but now he knew that this was a joint decision of at least three masters. Then he had a little doubt, "The Flowing Fire Golden Bell is a ninth-grade magic weapon, how could it be trapped by my lightning?"
"Because the Flowing Fire Golden Bell is a magic weapon that can destroy demons, and the Mind Lightning is a Taoist magic. It refuses to compete with the Taoist magic, which is why it has to combine with the demon clan to kill you. You are very lucky. Just think about the fallen Demon Yunfeng and you will know how powerful the Flowing Fire Golden Bell is."
"Ah!" Xin Youtao shouted in surprise, and the other Taoists who had been possessed by demons looked at each other and showed obvious expressions of astonishment.
Xiao Hao continued to speak for Zuo Liuying, "This should have been a secret. After killing you, the Flowing Fire Golden Bell returned to its original place and everything was over. But you didn't die, you caught it, and you had to show it in front of the Grandmaster of Yashan, as if you had figured out the whole story."
Everyone finally understood that whether it was Youliao or the Flowing Fire Golden Bell, they were all secret means. Even if the demon-invading Taoist priests had doubts, they could not produce clear evidence. But Mu Xingqiu caught one in the act, forcing the Taoist sect to take public means.
"Why did the Grandmaster of Yashan destroy the Flowing Fire Golden Bell? Why didn't he do it at that time?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"Even if the Taoist priests and the Grandmaster were exposed on the spot, they would feel embarrassed, so he destroyed the magic weapon. He didn't do it for the time being, because this was not just a matter of Yashan, but a crisis for the entire Taoist sect, and he had to obtain the consent of other Grandmasters. But he left a clue among you, and he could find you at any time in the future."
The demon-invading Taoist priests quickly dispersed, making way for Zhou Qianhui who was standing in the middle of the crowd.
