Chapter 12 Fellow Daoist, You Are in Danger
"Saved!"
Yang Yunqing's cheers broke the tranquility in the cave, bringing everyone back to their senses and making the monsters tremble, with different thoughts for a while.
However, she didn't care about much and rushed towards Chen Yuan impatiently, but was immediately stopped by her master.
The old Taoist took a deep breath and bowed his hands, saying: "I am Qingling, thank you for your help, so that we can avoid becoming alchemy resources."
Qin Gan's expression changed slightly, and he looked suspicious.
"I also thank you for your help." Monk Zhiguang also put his hands together and bowed to Chen Yuan.
The heroic woman held the sword and bowed, saying: "Yu Lingyan, thank you for your help."
Qin Gan came back to his senses at this time, collected his thoughts, and pushed his stunned young master.
Zhao Fengji woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly saluted: "Zhao Fengji thanks the senior for saving his life! This favor will never be forgotten. If there is any need in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you. Just say a word, even if it is..."
He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Sanren Qiu Jingzhi, thank you... Daoist for saving my life!" Qiu Jingzhi lowered his head very low, but his tone was convinced.
Hunter Guo Zhen also struggled to get up from the corner, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Thank you for saving my life! I will repay you in this life!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand. He did it for himself, and saving everyone was just a side job. He did not intend to take credit, nor did he want to be involved in cause and effect disputes.
Seeing his appearance, everyone was about to say something, but Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop them.
Several people immediately shut up. Their biggest impression of Chen Yuan was the scene of him catching and exploding the Deer Head Mountain God with one hand. Who dared not to listen to such a fierce man?
Chen Yuan's eyes turned to the demons and ghosts.
When his eyes swept over them, the demons and ghosts were terrified and knelt on the ground, saying to Chen Yuan: "Hello...Hello, Lord."
The seriously injured Lu Jing even huddled in a corner, trembling all over, and didn't dare to raise his head in fear.
Everyone suddenly woke up and realized that the fierce man in front of them had obtained the mountain god's talisman and was the new Lord of Baili Lushou Mountain!
For example, the old Taoist, Qiu Jingzhi and others, thinking that they were living here, even if they were not subjects of the mountain, they were equivalent to tenants, so they couldn't help but want to understand the landlord's temperament. At this time, seeing Chen Yuan was going to negotiate with the demons, they couldn't help but hold their breath and observe.
Unexpectedly...
"I am not the new king of the mountain, and there will be no king in the future," Chen Yuan bowed to the demons, his expression unchanged, "Of course, if there is a new decree, there may be a mountain god, but it has nothing to do with me."
"What's the situation?"
The demons looked at each other, full of doubts.
"Is the Lord dissatisfied with us?" The girl in red with two sky-high braids took two steps forward and bowed carefully, saying, "I hope the Lord will understand. We were just following orders before. After all, it is difficult to disobey the Lord's orders. We don't really want to be enemies with the Lord!"
"Yes--" Chen Yuan looked at the friendly wandering soul and said, "Master, please don't dislike us--"
Then, a mature and steady voice sounded in the demon group: "Please rest assured, Lord, we are just serving..."
"I am used to seeking the truth alone, and I don't like people to follow me, whether they are disciples or servants." Chen Yuan interrupted him directly, without any room for maneuver.
"Master, please don't abandon us!"
"We will do anything!"
"Please, Master..."
"Well, since you have brought it up, why not solve it now?" Looking at the trembling monsters, Chen Yuan pinched his left hand, and a little divine light seeped into the earth.
Although he separated this god's position from Lushou Mountain, the two are essentially the same. With divine power, he can easily obtain the past fragments of the monsters and ghosts in the mountain, and also know some secrets of the gods in this world.
There is actually such a setting, which saves a lot of trouble.
Thinking in his heart, he said to the demons: "Some of you were actually forced by the Deer Head Mountain God to transform into ghosts. Logically, you are also victims, but after that, many chose to go along with the evil, and have since committed many crimes and crimes, which have damaged your virtue. I am too lazy to judge you, so I will cut off 50% of your cultivation. Whether you can still survive depends on your luck."
After he finished speaking, he waved his left hand without waiting for the demons to react, and a black wind swept through the cave, throwing all the demons and ghosts out, and then the divine light enveloped them again, extracting the demonic energy and cutting off their cultivation, and they screamed one after another.
The cave was empty.
The old Taoist priest, Qiu Jingzhi and others knew how powerful it was, so they didn't dare to speak rashly.
Zhao Fengji couldn't help but say, "Senior, the demons and ghosts in this mountain are really abominable. I know that there are many who have committed serious crimes. Just let them go like this?"
Chen Yuan didn't need to speak, someone explained to him.
"This young man, you don't know."
Qiu Jingzhi's attitude at this time was particularly approachable, without any foul mouth as before: "Any demon who seeks refuge in the mountains and seeks refuge with the gods, even if they have done a lot of evil, are entangled by evil power, or are infected with lingering wronged souls, as long as they are blessed by the gods, they will be safe. But once the gods' blessing is gone, the sins will backfire. Unless they have enough cultivation or have not done much evil, what else..."
He shook his head. With his understanding of the demons and ghosts in the mountain god's mansion, he was afraid that few of them would survive.
The old Taoist priest took the opportunity to teach Yang Yunqing: "Did you hear that? Don't kill people at will. The demons and ghosts under the mountain god's command rely on the support of others to kill and injure at will, but one day without the protection of the gods, they will explode immediately! The wronged souls will take their lives and the evil power will eat away their bones!"
"I'm not under the command of the mountain god." She whispered.
The old Taoist priest blew his beard and glared: "Is this the point?"
On the other side.
The demons and ghosts who were thrown out of the cave had not landed yet, and their cultivation had regressed and their blood and qi had declined. What was more worrying was that the protection of the gods that existed and disappeared had completely disappeared.
The Shinto of the Deer Head Mountain God is mainly based on slavery. At this time, the power of the Shinto is gone, which should be like removing the shackles and feeling relaxed, but it has become a matter of life and death for the evil demons and ghosts who have committed many crimes——
"Woo woo woo——"
"Great! Great! I finally waited for today!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Although the east is getting white, the wronged souls killed by the demons have already come out impatiently, and they pounced on them in the sunlight, eating their flesh and blood!
Originally, many demons could be suppressed by relying on their strong qi and blood, but at this time, their flesh and blood were eroded by the wronged souls in their trance, and their qi and blood were immediately damaged, and they died.
There are also many ghosts, without the protection of the Shinto, who are exposed in the sunlight. Those who kill a lot of lives have their evil power surged out, directly destroying their true spirits and completely annihilating them!
"Ahhh!"
Lu Jing pinched his neck with one hand and stretched out the other hand, trying desperately to grab something, but soon his eyes bulged out completely, his flesh dried up, and he was completely silent in regret and fear.
After a few breaths, only a dozen of the more than a hundred monsters were still alive, and they were all weak.
The sun rose.
The sun set, and the mountain was full of green.
Inside the cave.
After Chen Yuan sent the ghosts away, the heroic woman Yu Lingyan suddenly said: "From what you said, it seems that you don't plan to live in this mountain permanently? But as far as I know, it is very difficult to leave the position of mountain god without permission, and you are bound by the mountain realm. Did you kill He Jue and forcibly seize the position of god to get rid of your subordinates?" After a pause, she said: "If so, you have greatly offended the Xiyue Divine Court."
Chen Yuan glanced sideways and guessed that "He Jue" was the earthly name of the Lushou Mountain God. Apart from that, Xiyue Divine Court and forcibly seizing the position of god were not something that ordinary people could know.
This woman's origin is not simple.
In the Dongxu Realm, the Shinto is a separate system, which is led by the Heavenly Court. There are superiors and subordinates, nine official titles, and the division of powers and regions is meticulous. Chen Yuan was not surprised to hear that the Shinto in this world also has superiors and subordinates.
On the contrary, the old Taoist priest was puzzled and said: "The throne of the Emperor of Xiyue has been vacant for a hundred years, otherwise the Lord of Lushou Mountain would not be so reckless and perverse..."
Yu Lingyan said: "You have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't know what's going on in the outside world. Since the barbarians began to attack the northwest last year, there have been changes everywhere. Even the throne of Xiyue has a new owner who is about to ascend the throne. Otherwise, why is the Lord of Lushou Mountain so anxious?"
"So that's it!" Qiu Jingzhi suddenly said: "That makes sense!"
"Who is this person?"
Suddenly, a childish voice came, and the green-clothed boy transformed again without knowing when, and was poking the silent and bloody bearded man with his fingers, with a curious look on his face.
"He looked very powerful, why did he fall down?"
After he said that, everyone remembered that when Chen Yuan was fighting with the mountain god just now, this bearded man suddenly attacked, which was extremely dangerous, but he fell down after a confrontation.
Qin Gan looked at the man's face carefully and felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
"This man is the law enforcement elder of Huangliang Northern Sect, Xiao Mutuo." Yu Lingyan directly said the man's identity: "He just celebrated his 50th birthday last month, and he publicly surrendered to the barbarians at the banquet and got the title of Northwest Recorder."
"What?! It turned out to be this person? Then he must be the ninth level of Qi and Blood, but... he was killed after a confrontation!"
"It was a sudden sneak attack, but he was killed directly."
Chen Yuan had no expression on his face, but the others' faces changed drastically, and their eyes were even more frightened.
If a ninth-level warrior died after fighting with Chen Yuan for dozens of rounds, or was killed by someone who went all out and fought against the clock like Chen Yuan did when he fought against the mountain god, it would be understandable to some extent. But Xiao Mutuo attacked by surprise and was killed on the spot!
It was just a guess just now, but now it has been confirmed, it is still unbelievable.
"Huangliang Dao?"
Chen Yuan's focus was different from others. He raised his hand to his chest and asked calmly, "Isn't that the gate of Xuanzong?"
"Huangliang Dao is divided into two sects, the northern sect is martial arts, and the southern sect is Taoism," Yu Lingyan nodded, "Xiao Mutuo is one of the best masters in the northern sect."
Qin Gan couldn't help but ask, "Why did the elder of Huangliang Northern Sect appear here?"
"Of course, Shanzhongjun invited him to help," Qiu Jingzhi sneered, "He really took great pains to break the barriers and refine the puppets to catch us all in one fell swoop! If it weren't for this Taoist friend, you and I would have been dry bones in the tomb, no, we should have died without a complete body, turned into a big pill condiment, and swallowed by people!"
Since there is a history, there will be a sequel.
Chen Yuan looked at Yu Lingyan.
"Fellow Daoist, you should understand now." Yu Lingyan spoke again, "Killing the gods of the earth and annexing the throne of the gods is a taboo in the God Court. The new king of Xiyue is about to ascend the throne. It is time to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and shock the mountains. The matter of Lushou Mountain may be delayed..."
"It was obviously the God of Lushou Mountain who started it first..." Yang Yunqing said indignantly.
Yu Lingyan changed the subject: "As for the two sects of Huangliang, they have been arguing for many years. Both claim to be orthodox, but they regard standing up for the other party as an important way to suppress the other party and control the dominant position..."
"It was obviously this old man of Huangliang Dao who attacked..." Yang Yunqing couldn't help muttering again.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was more open-minded: "If internal conflicts cannot be resolved, then using external enemies to divert conflicts is a common method. If we can use this to open up a new path, we can continue the fortune of the sect."
Yu Lingyan was stunned, savored it for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Daoyou's words are very sharp, and this is indeed the truth. But the truth is the truth, it can't solve the problem. You are actually in danger now!"
Yang Yunqing whispered again: "That's right, he fought so fiercely just now, and he looked like a dangerous teenager!"
"..."
Yu Lingyan forehead His veins jumped for a moment, but soon calmed down, and he continued to say to Chen Yuan: "I have a suggestion, would you like to listen to it?"
"Please speak."
"I would like to invite you to join my Sword Sect and serve as a guest official," Yu Lingyan said solemnly: "In terms of power, my Sword Sect is not weaker than Huangliang Dao, and is enough to protect you. As long as you follow me to the land of Tianfu in the southwest, it will be useless for Huangliang Dao to send more people."
Everyone was surprised, and only then did they know that this woman was the descendant of the Sword Sect. Looking at the long sword in her hand, they felt different.
Qiu Jingzhi sneered, and understood the intention of Yu Lingyan's previous words.
Soon, the old Taoist priest and the monk Zhiguang also reacted, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Chen Yuan, and their minds were moved.
