Chapter 175 Fellow Daoist, Please Stay!
Within a day, Yang Ling had returned to Jingshui Pass.
Considering that there were too many children, sending them to the city rashly might cause a big disturbance, so he found a vacant lot outside the city and waved his hand. A manor immediately rose on the flat ground.
The manor covers a vast area, with pavilions and towers scattered in the garden, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water, and a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
Then he offered a picture of mountains and rivers, and the world in the picture slowly unfolded in the garden, and a series of pale golden lights released the children from the scroll.
The children blinked their eyes one by one, looking at the strange and beautiful environment in front of them, a little at a loss.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe."
Jiang Ziya sent a message to the people of Yang's business and the charity hall, asking them to come and take care of the children.
After a while, people from Yang's business and the charity hall rushed to the manor. They were all experienced veterans, and they quickly calmed the children's emotions and began to arrange their daily lives.
Then Jiang Ziya began to arrange people to contact charity halls in various places and connect with them.
He was very active and soon investigated the backgrounds of these children and began to arrange for them to return to the original charity hall.
Some of the children were not lost in the charity hall, so he also helped them find their parents and relatives. Those who could not be found were temporarily raised in the manor.
Yang Ling felt a little comforted as he watched everything proceed in an orderly manner.
However, he also knew that if Lu Yue knew that his cave was destroyed, he would definitely not give up.
In order to prevent the other party from coming to his door, Yang Ling hesitated for a while and decided to wait for a few days to see what the other party did.
He found a quiet valley nearby, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and flowers, birds, fish and insects lived in harmony. It was a good place for cultivation.
He sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone and continued to sacrifice the glass phantom light bottle.
This was the treasure he got at the bottom of the Wangchuan River. It was one of the array cores of the Jiuxiao Yuntian Star Array. As long as it was sacrificed and refined, combined with the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd, Yang Ling could set up the array at will.
By then, even if he was besieged by several Golden Immortals like last time, he would not be completely helpless.
Last time in the Netherworld, he had a lot of gains. In addition to the supreme treasure of Hongmeng Purple Qi, the most precious thing was the Avici Immortal Sword.
However, Yang Ling gave it to his wife Yunhua. It happened that she had a very high talent in swordsmanship, and the Qilin Sword in her hand was a bit too mediocre.
Now that he had the Avici Immortal Sword of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure level, he only needed to complete the sacrifice and refine it, and it would be a big killer. Once it was sacrificed at a critical moment, it would be able to instantly increase its combat power several times.
As for the Sky-killing Demon Blade, Yang Ling wanted to destroy it, but then he thought that it was the people who were wrong, and the evil weapon itself was not at fault.
It happened that Yang Zhao also took a fancy to this evil weapon, thinking that it might be able to exert a stronger power if used in conjunction with the Divine Elephant Prison Power.
Yang Ling was a little worried. After repeated inspections to confirm that the evil weapon was harmless, he gave the Sky-killing Demon Blade to Yang Zhao.
Since he got the Falling Treasure Money, he has more and more treasures on him, so naturally he has to prepare more for his family.
It's a pity that the Dragon Escape Pillar was lost in the Wangchuan River. It was probably destroyed by the leader of the Styx. It's a pity.
That treasure is quite useful.
Yang Ling took out the four treasures, the Headache Chalice, the Irritability Banner, the Coma Sword and the Plague Whip from the Treasure Bag, and found that they were all medium-grade acquired spiritual treasures. The power seemed okay.
If used to plot against the opponent, it should be quite useful.
He did not sacrifice these four treasures, and planned to leave them to his wife Yunhua and three children. One for each person, just in case.
When Yang Ling was concentrating on refining the Glazed Illusionary Light Bottle, Lu Yue, who had just returned to Jiulong Island, saw that his cave had been destroyed, and was immediately furious!
"Damn it, who did it?"
"That person refused to tell me where he came from."
Chen Gen, a Taoist priest in a gray robe, took out a photo bead from the distant forest and handed it to Lu Yue, "Brother, you should check it yourself."
Lv Yue's fingers trembled slightly as he took the photo bead from Chen Gen. He probed with his spiritual sense and saw a blurry picture in the bead. In the picture, a figure was walking out of his cave. Although his face was not clear, the aura he exuded was extremely powerful.
Lv Yue frowned. He could feel that the man's momentum was extraordinary, but because the picture was too far away, he could not get more information.
"Why is there only such a picture?" Lu Yue's voice was unhappy.
Taoist Chen Gen's face changed slightly, and he quickly explained: "Brother, that person has great magical power. We dare not approach him for fear of being noticed by him. We can only record from a distance. Please forgive me."
Lü Yue's eyes were gloomy, and the image in his hand began to shake with the fluctuations of his mood, but his attention was no longer on the picture.
He said in a deep voice: "This person has extraordinary magical power. He must not be an ordinary casual cultivator. He is very likely to be a master of a human cultivation sect... It seems that I have to go to Dashang in person."
Chen Gen Taoist heard this, his face became more solemn, and whispered: "Brother, you must be cautious on this trip. That person has a deep practice and may have an extraordinary origin..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Yue interrupted him and said coldly: "That guy killed four of my disciples and destroyed my cave. If this revenge is not avenged, how can I, Lu Yue, have a foothold in the East China Sea?"
Chen Gen Taoist heard this and could only sigh and stopped persuading him.
He knew Lu Yue's character. Once he decided on something, even if the world collapsed, it would be difficult for him to waver.
"Don't worry, I won't go alone."
The corner of Lu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a slightly ferocious smile, and sneered: "Isn't that guy here for the children? I happen to know that Junior Brother Ma Yuan from Skeleton Mountain often robs children, so why not let him Go explore the way for me."
After saying that, he called out a golden-eyed camel, rode on it and hurriedly left Kowloon Island.
The golden-eyed camel is also a strange species from ancient times. It can fly through the clouds and mist with extremely fast speed.
Lu Yue rode a golden-eyed camel through the raging wind and waves, and arrived at an island shaped like a skeleton in about half a day.
The island has a howling wind and mountains of bones, giving people a sense of eeriness.
Seen from a distance, the eerie island looks like a huge skull. The rocks on the island are all dark black, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding blue water.
This island is called Skeleton Mountain. There are two bone caves on the mountain. There is a faint white mist steaming at the entrance of the cave, as if it is the Yin Qi coming from deep underground.
The White Bone Cave on the left exudes a cold light and is the dojo of Empress Shiji; the White Bone Cave on the right is the residence of the Immortal Ma Yuan.
These two people are both elite disciples of the outer sect of Jiejiao, and their moral conduct is not low, not much worse than Lu Yue.
Lu Yue went straight to Ma Yuan's dojo without any hesitation.
It happened that Ma Yuan was bidding farewell to a black-robed Taoist. The Taoist was tall and burly, his eyes were shining, and he looked majestic.
Lu Yue, the black-robed Taoist, happened to know him. He was Shen Gongbao, a disciple of Chan.
He had gone to Kowloon Island to report the news and asked Wang Mo, Gao Youqian and other Four Saints of Kowloon Island to leave with him, but he never came back.
Therefore, seeing this Shen Gongbao at this moment, Lu Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said quietly in a low voice: "Junior brother Ma Yuan, why are you having a distinguished guest today?"
The Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuansheng has a short stature, a green face and fangs, white hair and red eyes. He is as ugly as an evil ghost. He is wearing a stained wide robe and a white bead string around his neck.
They were said to be beads, but they were actually evil tools made of children's skulls. Some of the skulls were still stained with a coquettish scarlet color, as if the blood stains had not yet dried up.
Seeing that it was Lu Yue who had arrived, Immortal Ma Yuan rushed forward to greet him and replied with a smile: "Senior brother Lu Yue, this is fellow Taoist Shen Gongbao who explains the teachings. I am here to share some spiritual matters."
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao also nodded and smiled, and saluted Lu Yue with clasped fists: "I have admired Lu Yue for a long time, and when I meet him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Lu Yue responded politely, but his thoughts suddenly changed in his heart.
He looked at Shen Gongbao and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't Wang Mo and the other four go to Chentangguan with you? Why didn't they come back?"
Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed. He obviously did not expect that Lu Yue would ask so directly. There was a trace of surprise on his face, and then he spoke slowly and thoughtfully: "Don't you know, fellow Taoist? Wang Mo, fellow Taoist, they have all fallen." ”
"What?! Who did this?"
Lu Yue's brows furrowed, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
He, Wang Mo and others were all cultivating on Kowloon Island, and they had a pretty good relationship with each other on weekdays. They were all disciples of the Jiejiao Cult, so it was naturally a little hard to accept the news of their deaths at first.
"what is going on?"
When Shen Gongbao saw this, he deliberately sighed and said in a deep voice: "That day I heard that their disciple was killed, so I went to inform a few fellow Taoists, and then went with them to find the murderer to settle accounts.
Who would have thought that the murderer had profound Taoist practices, powerful magical powers, and an evil magic weapon that could be used as a spiritual treasure. In the end, the four Taoist friends were defeated and were captured by him one after another...
Later, Pindao heard that several fellow Taoists were eventually tortured to death! "
"Who is the murderer?" Lu Yue asked in a deep voice.
Shen Gongbao hesitated for a moment, then said directly: "It's Yang Ling, the disciple who has become famous in recent years!"
"It turns out to be him!"
Lu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"How dare Pindao!" Shen Gongbao said with a bitter smile: "That Yang Ling's methods are so powerful. Fortunately, Pindao just watched from the sidelines and didn't help last time. Otherwise, I'm afraid even Pindao would have fallen into that guy's hands!
This time, if Taoist friend hadn't pressed on, I wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter. "
"snort!"
Lu Yue snorted coldly and did not comment on his words.
Shen Gongbao smiled in his heart, knowing that he had passed Lu Yue's level.
At this time, Immortal Ma Yuan stepped forward curiously and asked: "Senior Brother Lu Yue, why are you free to come to my White Bone Cave as a guest today, but what happened?"
Speaking of this matter, Lu Yue couldn't help but flashing a trace of anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother Ma Yuan, I really have something to ask for when I come here this time!
My cave on Kowloon Island was razed to the ground overnight, and four of my disciples were brutally killed. This hatred is irreconcilable. I want to settle the score with the murderer, so I am here to ask you to help me. "
While speaking, he took out Taoist Chen Gen's photo bead, and without shying away from Shen Gongbao, he directly cast a spell to reveal it.
Ma Yuan's face changed, revealing a look of surprise: "Why did senior brother suffer such a disaster? Who is this murderer? He has such courage?"
Lu Yue gritted his teeth and replied: "I don't know where that person came from. I only know that he came on a dragon. Most likely because I had people capture some human children and bring them back to practice...
Now that guy not only took all the children away, but also killed four of my disciples, destroyed my medicine garden and spirit beast garden, and burned down my cave!!!”
Ma Yuan guessed: “Could it be the work of the human demon catcher? In the early years when I went to catch people and dig out their hearts, the human demon catcher often came to trouble me, causing me to eat so much that my stomach was bloated.”
Lv Yue nodded and said: “It is indeed possible.”
“Brother, don’t worry, I, Yiqixian, am the best at dealing with these demon catchers!” Ma Yuan patted his chest and guaranteed: “Leave it to me. How can we, disciples of Jiejiao, allow others to bully us? "
When Shen Gongbao heard this, he looked at the blurred figure recorded by the image bead again, frowned slightly, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, could this be done by Yang Ling again?
It sounds like his handiwork.
And it is related to the human race, and the figure is somewhat similar... Wait, how come the person on the head of the black dragon in the distance looks a bit like Jiang Ziya's junior brother?
Shen Gongbao's heart was surging, but he didn't show it on his face. He still maintained a bystander's attitude and stood aside without saying a word.
At this time, Ma Yuan looked at Lu Yue and said, "When do we set off?"
A hint of viciousness flashed in Lu Yue's eyes, and he said, "The sooner the better, it will be difficult to track if it's too late."
After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Ma Yuan glanced at Shen Gongbao and was about to order him to leave, but Shen Gongbao suddenly said, "Please stay, two Taoist friends, can I go with you? Maybe I can also help. "
Lü Yue was stunned, and then thought to himself that it would be a good thing to have one more helper. Although Shen Gongbao's Taoism was not top-notch, he was a disciple of the Chan Sect after all, and his status was extraordinary. With him, he might play an unexpected role.
So, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, with the help of fellow Taoist Shen Gongbao, it will naturally be like adding wings to a tiger."
After the three of them finished speaking, they prepared their own luggage.
Lü Yue rode on the extremely fast golden-eyed camel, and Shen Gongbao summoned a huge black tiger with stripes all over its body. Ma Yuan had no mount, so he could only ride a black cloud and headed towards Da Shang with great momentum.
In just one or two days, the outline of Nanshanbuzhou gradually became clear.
Lü Yue rode on the golden-eyed camel, his eyes like lightning, sweeping across the mountains and rivers below. His mind was extremely sharp, and he actually caught a familiar breath in this vast sea of people.
"It's the breath of those children! "
Lü Yue's heart moved. He knew that his feeling was not wrong. Those children had been used as materials for his cultivation, and they were stained with some unique aura.
He no longer hesitated, and immediately called out, driving the golden-eyed camel to change direction and headed straight for Jingshui Pass.
As the three approached, the outline of Jingshui Pass gradually became clear. In the distance, a huge manor came into view, surrounded by green trees, with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
But what attracted their attention most was the laughter of the children coming from the manor.
Ma Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he showed greed.
Those children were the most tempting delicacies to him. He swallowed unconsciously in his throat, and his saliva almost dripped down.
"Not bad, not bad... These tender little things are the most delicious, so tender that they melt in your mouth!"
The Immortal Ma Yuan stared at the children below and said greedily: "Brother Lu Yue, after solving the demon catcher later, you have to share more of these children with me. "
Lü Yue frowned.
He captured these children for cultivation, not for Ma Yuan to eat.
But he didn't say much, just said coldly: "Be careful, maybe that guy is nearby."
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice came.
"The three-eyed Taoist priest riding a golden-eyed camel... You must be Lü Yue, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
