Chapter 262: I didn’t expect it!
Xiniuhezhou, Hulushan.
Hulu Mountain was originally the location of the Taoist temple of Patriarch Hongyun, but since Patriarch Hongyun disappeared, Hulu Mountain has been abandoned.
The former Taoist temple is now deserted, with weeds growing on the ground and walls, and tables, chairs and benches toppled over, as if they had been ransacked by robbers.
And the facts are pretty much the same.
Almost everyone who covets the Hongmeng Purple Qi and cannot find the whereabouts of the Red Cloud Ancestor will come to Hulu Mountain to look for clues.
These traces are all left by them.
Some people who were not aware of their own danger even went to Zhen Yuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain not far away to inquire about the whereabouts of Patriarch Hongyun.
After all, Patriarch Hongyun disappeared after he left the Heavenly Palace with Zhen Yuanzi.
But, without exception, they were all beaten out by Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi could not stop all those who coveted the Hongmeng Purple Qi, nor could he protect the Hongyun Ancestor, but he did not take these one or two seriously.
However, Zhen Yuanzi was still forced to announce to a group of powerful people that "he did not know the whereabouts of Patriarch Hongyun", and Wanshou Mountain finally regained peace.
Qiongqi came to the Three Realms just for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so naturally it was inevitable that he appeared in Hulu Mountain.
"This is the Taoist temple of Ancestor Hongyun!"
It was unclear how many times that the landowner of Hulushan had been asked to lead the way.
At the beginning, I was very nervous, but now I feel a little numb.
Behind him, Qiongqi had transformed into a human form, wearing brocade robes and a crown on his head. He had a handsome face and looked no different from a human.
Transformed into human form——
This can be said to be the biggest difference between the guests in Zixiao Palace and other ancient innate creatures in the beginning!
When Nuwa created humans, she referred to Pangu's true body. Therefore, the human form is actually Pangu's form. They are naturally in line with the Tao. Although most of them have a low starting point, their cultivation speed far exceeds that of other races.
Therefore, all the guests in Zixiao Palace, including Hongjun Daozu, will transform into human form. And it is not a kind of change that is an illusion, but they use the great magical power of mediating creation to create a real human body in order to increase their own cultivation speed.
This is also the reason why other monsters will actively transform into human form after they achieve enlightenment.
"Master, please take a look at it yourself. I will leave first!" The land god nodded and bowed, preparing to take his leave.
At this moment, Qiongqi suddenly turned his head towards him, opened his mouth, and his head turned into a Qiongqi head that was 70% similar to a tiger, and swallowed the land in one gulp.
The land was panicked and shouted in his mouth: "Why! You promised me that you would let me go as long as I brought you here!"
"You just believe whatever others say! You're a brainless idiot! You deserve it!"
A sneer appeared on Qiongqi's lips. He chewed a few times, and the ground suddenly became silent, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
"This Yin God has been fused with the energy of incense, which is quite interesting. We can catch some more to try."
Qiongqi licked his lips, walked into the Taoist temple of Ancestor Hongyun, and looked around.
No one knows how many people have visited the Taoist temple of Ancestor Hongyun, and all the clues with the slightest value have been looted.
Qiongqi walked back and forth but failed to find anything useful. He scanned the entire Hulu Mountain with his spiritual sense, but found it to be just an ordinary fairy mountain and blessed land, with nothing special about it.
“It was a wasted trip.”
Qiongqi turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned around abruptly and stared at the stone paintings carved on the wall. A hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
This old man Hongyun really learns from his mistakes!
He was such a stupid and nice guy back then, but now he has become so cunning!
Unfortunately, I’m still a long way behind!
Qiongqi said proudly: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I have found you! How long are you going to hide? I am different from those idiots! You can't fool me with your little tricks!"
The stone paintings in front of him were not simple. Each one seemed to be casually carved, but they contained some of Hongyun Patriarch’s thoughts on the Tao.
However, this is not simple only for ordinary cultivators. For those ancient powerful beings who have set their eyes on the Hongmeng Purple Qi and want to take action against the Red Cloud Ancestor, it is completely not worth mentioning!
It is precisely because they are between simple and complex, and are located around the pulpit, that it is easy for people to mistakenly believe that they were casually drawn by Patriarch Hongyun when he was preaching to his disciples in order to deepen their understanding and comprehension, and thus ignore them.
Qiongqi was able to discover this because he had seen this method before!
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is an opportunity, but it is also the source of disaster and chaos. You cannot grasp it. It is better to hand it over to me as soon as possible, so that you can be free and at ease."
After waiting for a while, when no Ancestor Hongyun showed up, Qiongqi's face darkened and he said, "Hongyun, I'm giving you some face because we once listened to Taoism together. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, there was still no movement, Qiongqi was immediately annoyed: "Okay! Since you don't come out yourself, then I will pull you out!"
Qiongqi reached out and grabbed the stone painting in front of him.
When the hand stretched to the middle, it had already turned into a tiger claw with wisps of black smoke curling around it. Countless ghosts were crying and screaming in it, which was a terrifying scene.
When the ancient ancestors of the human race wrote "Classic of Mountains and Seas", they said that Qiongqi looked like a tiger, had wings, and liked to eat people.
This is actually the opposite!
It’s not that Qiongqi looks like a tiger, but that Qiongqi is the ancestor of the tiger!
The tiger monsters' ability to control their minions comes from the bloodline inheritance of Qiongqi.
Qiongqi likes to eat people, not just because human flesh is delicious, but because after people turn into ghosts, they are far more powerful than ghosts turned from other creatures.
It is disloyal and untrustworthy, does not listen to good people, and only believes in the bad things said by others. This is also to increase the resentment and hostility of the minions and improve the quality of the minions.
The Yin gods are somewhat similar to ghosts, except that they are worshipped by people with incense.
Qiongqi had never been seen in ancient times. After entering the Three Realms, he naturally wanted to eat more, taste the difference, and make the minions he raised go further.
As for what consequences will arise from doing so.
Qiongqi didn't care at all. At worst, he could just go to the chaos outside the sky and hide for another ten thousand years.
Snap! Snap!
The moment the black fog touched the stone wall, the stone wall began to age rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The smooth stone wall suddenly began to turn black, as if tens of millions of years had passed, and pieces of stone began to fall off. A gloomy and decayed smell filled the air.
After Qiongqi's claws landed on the wall, the changes accelerated dozens of times, and traces of blackening and decay quickly spread in all directions.
In just a moment, half of the wall was completely eroded.
"Enough!" The voice of Patriarch Hongyun suddenly sounded.
A light surged on the stone wall on the far left, and a stick figure in the painting suddenly came to life and jumped out of the painting.
By the time he landed, he had already turned into the appearance of Old Ancestor Hongyun.
Qiongqi's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't make a move in the end. He just sneered and said, "I thought you would shrink back forever! What a pity!"
If Patriarch Hongyun really wanted to hide in this stone painting with a lucky mentality, he would allow him to erode the stone painting completely.
At that time, the world in the painting will become his home, and Hongyun will be trapped.
"Fellow Daoist Qiongqi, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is really not in my hands!"
Ancestor Hongyun was even more reluctant to take action than Qiongqi.
Qiongqi was hated by everyone in Zixiao Palace and acted recklessly in the prehistoric land. He had offended many ancient powerful beings, provoked the demon clan and the heavenly court, and even dared to massacre and kill humans when the human race rose.
He acted so recklessly, yet in the end he was able to escape to the outer chaos with injuries. This shows how strong he is!
Patriarch Hongyun said, "You and I have both listened to Daozu's teachings in Zixiao Palace. You should know the grudge between Kunpeng and me. He attacked me secretly and almost killed me. I also joined forces with the Heavenly Court to capture him and sent him to the Demon Slaying Platform. The hatred between him and me is irreconcilable."
"When he was dying, he was biting like a mad dog, just to drag me down. Fellow Daoist Qiongqi, you are one of the few smart people in the world. Don't you understand this?"
Qiongqi didn't say anything, just stared at Ancestor Hongyun.
Ancestor Hongyun had a sincere and frank look on his face.
"Oh!"
Qiongqi suddenly sneered, and his smile grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a wild laugh towards the sky: "Hongyun! Hongyun! I originally thought that only people like me could speak nonsense without changing their expressions, but I didn't expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes could do it! Then Kunpeng is really capable!"
Ancestor Hongyun's expression froze: "...Fellow Daoist Qiongqi, why do you say that? Everything I said is true!"
"I believe you are telling the truth. Kunpeng did want to drag you down with him before he died. I think the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not in your hands, but..."
Qiongqi suddenly changed the subject and asked fiercely, "Do you dare to swear to the Heaven that you don't know the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi? Hmm?"
Ancestor Hongyun was furious and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiongqi, am I Hongyun such a person in your mind? Of course I..."
Qiongqi looked at the red-faced and humiliated Red Cloud Patriarch and was stunned. Did I really wrong him? Did he not know the whereabouts of the Hongmeng Purple Qi?
Before he could finish his thought, Qiongqi suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from behind. He was caught off guard and was sucked over.
The world was spinning.
In a hurry, he caught a glimpse of rapidly spinning red whirlpools on the wall behind him, and in the center of the whirlpools was a palm-sized red gourd pattern!
"not good!"
Qiongqi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly used his magic power, trying to use escape techniques to escape from the whirlpool.
However, his soul was corroded and blinded by the red sand sprayed out by the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd, and the speed of mobilizing magic power and performing escape techniques was much slower than usual.
Between life and death, even the slightest detail can determine the outcome, let alone so much!
Qiongqi barely managed to perform the escape technique, but it was too late.
And Patriarch Hongyun did not just stand there and watch. He said the second half of the sentence "...I will not swear to the Heaven!" and took out the Sui Xin Jade Ruyi.
"As you wish, as my wish goes, please show up soon!"
The same Ruyi, the same innate spiritual treasure, is completely two different concepts in the hands of the snake demon and in the hands of the Red Cloud Ancestor!
Ancestor Hongyun blew out a breath of immortal air, which passed and turned into a black gale with flying sand and rocks.
The strong wind itself does not have much killing power, but the countless sand and stones it blows up, under the influence of Sui Xin Yu Ruyi, each grain has the weight of a mountain!
Qiongqi's body is extremely strong, and it is difficult for these gravel to hurt him, but they are enough to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless sand and gravel weighing more than ten thousand pounds kept hitting Qiongqi, pushing him directly and pushing him into the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd.
"Old Hongyun, you are despicable and shameless!" Qiongqi cursed at the top of his lungs.
The strategy of Patriarch Hongyun cannot be said to be very brilliant. If someone else were to come, Qiongqi would definitely not fall into the trap!
But the image of the good old man Hongyun is too deeply rooted in people’s hearts!
Even though Qiongqi felt that Hongyun was not the same as before, he was still not vigilant enough. As a result, he made one careless move and lost everything.
"You just believe whatever others say! You're a brainless idiot! You deserve it!"
Ancestor Hongyun returned to him exactly what Qiongqi had said to the land god.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
Qiongqi felt like he was about to explode. This was the first time in all his years that he had suffered such humiliation.
Patriarch Hongyun ignored him and took the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd, closed the lid, and then used a spell to cast a series of talismans, sealing them on the gourd, muttering to himself, "Here!"
call--
Inside the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd, the purple-red gale turned into a purple-red flame, burning fiercely.
"Old man Hongyun, then don't let me out! Otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"
Qiongqi’s roar continued to come out from the gourd.
The Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd shook violently, flashing red light.
It was Qiongqi who transformed into his original form in the gourd, with countless black mists lingering around him. Billions of ghosts kept flying out like a surging river in the sky, and pounced on the fire that emerged from the Jiujiu Sanhun gourd.
At the same time, he flapped his wings hard and flew towards the gourd's mouth, trying to escape.
Qiongqi wanted to use his minions to put out the fire, but he forgot that the name of the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd was "Sanhun", which is the nemesis of all evil spirits.
Not only did those minions fail to help Qiongqi block the fire in the gourd, but they made the fire burn even more vigorously.
By the time Qiongqi realized this and hurriedly took back the ghost, the flames were already more than ten times larger than at the beginning.
When immortals fight each other, especially when their powers are similar, there are two most important points.
The first is the first-mover advantage.
The second is to know yourself and your enemy.
This has been vividly demonstrated during the catastrophe of Conferred Gods.
Qiongqi likes to fight with others, and everyone knows what his abilities are!
Hongyun is a good guy, and no one knows the power of the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd!
Now, Ancestor Hongyun has both of these points.
It’s no surprise that this result occurred!
Qiongqi realized that something was wrong and reacted very quickly. He folded his wings and protected himself inside, preparing to protect himself and delay for a while before finding a way to escape.
The Jiujiu Soul-Sanding Gourd finally calmed down.
However, there was not much joy on the face of the Red Cloud Patriarch. He turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the dojo, and said in a cold voice: "You have been watching for so long! It's time to come out!"
Swish!
A golden light flashed, and three figures appeared in front of Ancestor Hongyun.
It’s Yang Jian, Li Anran and Nezha!
Qiongqi acted recklessly, eating and drinking to his heart's content along the way, and his route was very obvious.
Yang Jian knew that he would come to the Taoist temple of Hongyun Patriarch, so he took Li Anran and Nezha to Hulu Mountain.
As a result, I saw the great show performed by Ancestor Hongyun.
"Are you here for the Hongmeng Purple Qi as well?"
There was a cold light and murderous aura in the eyes of Patriarch Hongyun, completely different from the kindness he had shown when he met Yang Jian and Li Anran before.
