Youbao Chapter 51: Request for Help (6)
We spent most of the night outside looking at the stars , with Jiao Ye running around and having a lot of fun. When the sky got light, I felt cold all over and couldn't help but open my eyes. Only then did I realize that I had fallen asleep outside without knowing when.
Damn old Taoist priest, he didn't even call me when he returned. I couldn't help but curse inwardly.
I thought you would sleep a little longer. The old Taoist's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
I jumped up from the ground in shock, only to see him leisurely walk out the door and down the mountain. This old man probably asked the beautiful girl a question and then got choked back.
But after thinking it over, I decided to go down with the Taoist priest to have a look. I don't know where the Jiao Ye went to play. I called him twice but he didn't show up. Well, he is now as good as a dog, so I don't need to worry about him.
I walked down the mountain ladder, and after only about 30 or 40 steps, the old Taoist suddenly stopped. A few figures quickly came up from a distance, at a very fast speed. I was startled, could they be enemies?
But the old Taoist priest didn't move, he stood there as steady as a rock. Seeing him calm, I felt relieved. Anyway, he was blocking in front of me, even if he was really an enemy, such a long distance was enough for me to cast spells to protect myself.
The people who came up from the mountain stopped in front of the old Taoist priest. I saw them bow and started talking. They were my friends. I was relieved and started walking down the mountain. Soon, I came to the front of them.
When we got there, we found that the people who came up were the three old men from the Zhou family whom we met last time.
The old Taoist frowned, as if he had encountered some difficulties. I couldn't help but ask: What's wrong?
It turned out to be a young man from the Basuo lineage. The old man in blue bowed to me, and I quickly returned the greeting, and asked him again: What happened? You guys are in a hurry.
The old man with the blue background also had a strange expression on his face, but he still said to me: A disciple accidentally discovered that the Wei family secretly gathered in a dark place, but then a big turmoil occurred. When we took people to investigate, we found that almost all the people in the Wei family were dead. The most shocking thing is that the top copper-armored corpse of the Wei family left an arm at the scene. So we plan to ask an expert to go there to see if there is anything to find. After all, the one who can leave an arm of the top copper-armored corpse... whether it is a human or something else, the three of us are no match.
I don't know what the top-level copper-armored corpse looks like, but the old Taoist once said that Gamu's copper-armored corpse is the lowest level and has just taken shape. So compared with the top-level copper-armored corpse, it is like comparing a toddler with a black market boxing champion.
Moreover, the bronze-armored corpse is famous for its strong body and strength. It is invulnerable to swords and spears, and can almost move mountains. Although it has no magical power, its corpse aura is more powerful than most of the sinister Taoist magic.
Therefore, the person or demon who could leave this top-level bronze-armored corpse behind was definitely not an ordinary person. At least, the old Taoist never dared to boast that he had such means. What's more, there were also members of the Wei family present at the time. Who could kill most of the Wei family members in a short period of time and even the top-level bronze-armored corpse that was left behind could not compete?
Could it be a newly joined force?
I think the old Taoist may be guessing about this question, so he has not responded to the question of the third old man of the Zhou family.
I was afraid of making things awkward, so I interrupted and asked: When you were climbing the mountain, did you see a girl standing at the foot of the mountain? How is she?
The old man in the blue background said: We did see the girl, but she was like a piece of wood. She didn't respond to our questions and instead insulted us. If we hadn't sensed the power of a master flowing through her, we... By the way, little brother, who is this girl?
The three old men of the Zhou family all looked unhappy. They were all in their seventies or eighties, and now they were scolded by a little girl. If it were me, I would have slapped them in the face, no matter who was protecting them.
She is my junior fellow student's daughter. The old Taoist suddenly spoke. We turned our heads and saw that his face was gloomy: I will punish anyone who makes a mistake, but others are not allowed to move! If anyone moves, I will make it difficult for them!
Your junior brother doesn't... Old Man Jin spoke frankly, but he was interrupted by Old Man Lan after he had just said four words: That's right, since she is the daughter of our junior brother, the master will naturally deal with her. We have no right to interfere. I was just asking casually just now.
I rolled my eyes. How dare an old man in his seventies or eighties say such things?
The old Taoist didn't answer, just threw his sleeves and went down the mountain. The three old men and I looked at each other and hurried to follow. On the way, old man Jin couldn't bear the doubts and ran to my side and asked quietly: "Brother, hasn't the master's junior brother been missing for more than 20 years? Where did the girl come from?"
It was really hard to talk about the matter between the old Taoist priest and his junior fellow apprentice. Therefore, I could only deal with it vaguely: there was a person before he disappeared, and now he has grown up and is looking for his relatives.
Old man Jin said "oh" and seemed to suddenly understand.
After going down the mountain, the old Taoist stopped ten feet in front of the beautiful girl and asked: Are you awake today?
The little beauty stood there for two days and two nights, exposed to wind and rain. The weather on the mountain was strange and changeable, with hot and cold at night. At this moment, her face was flushed and her body was still wet. I guess she had started to have a high fever.
You, you... I just won't... No one can control me. After hearing her reply, even my mind began to become confused.
The old Taoist priest didn't say much, and made a spell with his hands: These three are the elders of the Zhou family. You insulted them and made a serious mistake. Your crime is even more serious. The five elements of the earth, the mountain spirits come out, and water and fire are entangled! Go!
The old Taoist pointed his hand at the beautiful girl, and suddenly, even from a distance of ten feet, one could feel the heat coming towards her. The moisture on the beautiful girl's body began to evaporate, and white mist emanated from her body. Before long, her body was dried by the Taoist fire. But then, the moisture in the sky suddenly flew back and soaked her body again. The Taoist fire added to her body, and the moisture rose again...
After a few rounds of this, the little beauty almost fell to the ground. Old Man Lan seemed to be a little bit upset, so he tried to persuade her: Master, she is just a junior, so it is not wrong to be ignorant, just give her a slight punishment.
If small mistakes are not punished, great trouble will surely come. The old Taoist replied coldly: I will go there first, and you can follow me.
After saying that, the old Taoist turned around, grabbed me, took a step forward, and left the Five Elements Mountain.
At first I thought it was unreasonable for the old Taoist to protect his own shortcomings. He was not allowed to fight when a girl scolded him. But now I think this old man is too scary. The little beauty had not eaten for two days and two nights at the foot of the mountain. Now she was going through the punishment of the nine layers of ice and fire. When we come back, will she be dead?
But once the old Taoist priest made a decision, it was difficult for others to change it , so I thought about it and decided not to say anything. With the old Taoist's means and scheming, he would definitely not let the little beauty die there, otherwise why would he bring her back.
The extremely yin place chosen by the Wei family was located in a mountain range. It was green everywhere, with lush trees, and there was no sign of yin at all.
The old Taoist settled down at the foot of the mountain. From a distance he saw many people busy working at the foot of the mountain.
When we walked over, two young people in modern clothes came towards us and said: Sorry, archaeological excavation is going on here and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
Without even raising his eyelids, the old Taoist said: "Ask the head of the Zhou family to come and see me. You children of the Law Enforcement Hall are becoming more and more tactless."
The two young men were slightly startled, and then a little panicked. One of them bowed his head and saluted the old Taoist priest, while the other turned around and ran to find someone.
We waited there for a short while before two old men, who were about 70 or 80 years old, came quickly and shouted from a distance: "It turns out to be the masters of the Five Elements Meridians. I didn't expect you to come so soon. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm sorry..."
Where? The old Taoist asked as he walked forward.
The two old men didn't care about his tone, walked towards us, and then said: We have observed this place, it is the land of nine yin. The cave chosen by the Wei family is the one with the yin energy. The yin energy is very heavy. We used the Zhou family's magic mirror to look at it, but it was blurry and we couldn't get the details.
I whispered to the old Taoist, what is the Nine Yin Land?
The two old men were stunned for a moment , then understood. The old Taoist explained calmly: The so-called Jiuyin is the land of Yin. The ancient Shanhaijing mentioned Jiuyin Mountain. But it is difficult to prove whether it really exists now. Therefore, as long as it belongs to the land of Yin, it is Jiuyin. Yang cannot exist here, everything is based on Yin. Ordinary people will become Yin corpses in less than a moment.
So powerful. I was quite surprised and asked: What kind of extremely powerful place is it that they are looking for to raise corpses? Does it include this one?
The old Taoist nodded and said: If a corpse is raised here, its body will turn into Nine Yin and be equal to the sky.
This young man must be the descendant of the Basuo lineage. I have heard of his great name for a long time, but never had the chance to meet him. An old man in a gray-black coat said with a smile.
I nodded and smiled at him: I'm not that famous, I just came out with others to broaden my horizons.
Not really ... The old man said with a smile: The magic of the Eight Ropes is famous all over the world. A few days ago, in the battle with the four white-feathered corpses, the young man's magic was amazing and no one could check it. With this, he can be invincible. If he inherits the orthodoxy of the Eight Ropes in the future, it will be a matter of time before he becomes invincible.
I was flattered by his praise. At this time, the old Taoist said: "Misfortunes come from the nine underworlds, and blessings come from all directions. The Wei family dared to drive the corpse to this place, so they must have made preparations in advance. Can you find out?"
Although I was a little dissatisfied with the Taoist's sudden interruption, I still pricked up my ears when talking about business. The old man in the gray and black short coat said: This Nine Yin Land is hidden from the world and has always been difficult to find. The Wei family is based on armored corpses, which are yin, and coming here is a disaster rather than a blessing. But judging from the positions of the dozen bronze armored corpses scattered on the scene, they are protected by the walking corpse vein Yaoyang corpse formation.
The corpse is originally Yin, but it uses Yang as a formation. This is a double-injury formation that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of its own. Even the walking corpse veins must not be used. What exactly does the Wei family want to do by using more than a dozen bronze-armored corpses to enter Jiuyin Mountain?
We don't know this either, so we asked the expert to come from afar to help us check it out. Another old man in a light purple short coat said with a bow.
We each get what we need, no need for politeness. The Taoist replied briefly. The two old men laughed and said no more.
With the two of them accompanying us, we were able to enter Jiuyin Mountain smoothly.
As the Taoist said, this is the Yin-Yang land. Although flowers and plants can be seen, they are dark in color. Even the stream that falls abruptly from the mountain looks like it was splashed with ink. I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and I immediately felt cold all over and got goose bumps.
The old Taoist didn't ask me to use some Taoist magic to protect myself, but at least draw a warming talisman. However, as if stimulated by the Yin Qi, the jade pendant hanging on my chest suddenly felt cold. Strangely enough, as soon as it became cold, the cold feeling on my body disappeared, as if all the cold air was absorbed by it.
