A thousand-foot-deep valley, a thousand and two demons, all killed.
Even though the old Taoist priest had spent his entire life exorcising demons, he was still frightened by the ruthless tactics used by the Shushan disciples... though only for a moment.
What’s more natural is the relief: it’s time to kill Shark!
Kuaiji County is a large county in Yangzhou, so the public security is relatively stable. In the southern part of the Minyue region, where there are many mountain ranges, tens of thousands of humans die at the hands of demons every year. Who can they complain to?
Instead of complaining that the Shushan Sword Immortal is too cruel, why don't you blame the demons for being too brutal in eating people?
The demons in the world are formed by snakes, insects, rats, ants, tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is impossible to completely exterminate them, and it is impossible to change their man-eating nature.
Only sharks!
I fully agree with this and support it from the bottom of my heart!
Faced with the flattery from the old Taoist priest, both of them looked indifferent, without any sense of complacency.
An Zhisu didn't care about these things. Ling Yunpo had heard them a lot when he was Senior Brother Qiu. In the eyes of the old Taoist priest, it was proof of the demeanor of a disciple from a big sect.
Since the old Taoist priest did not have a flying sword (only a homemade peach wood sword), the two of them left the valley on foot. Looking at the corpses of demons along the way, the old Taoist priest was amazed again.
"...But it's better to burn the demon corpses." He said carefully, "The demon's flesh is full of foul air. If they are eaten by wild birds and beasts, they will turn into demons again in a few years."
"You are right, fellow Daoist." An Zhisu shot out the Feiyan Sword, which flew lightly through the air and cast a little rain of fire, causing the demon's corpse to spontaneously combust without wind and become blazing.
"You two have done a very kind thing." The old Taoist priest continued to praise, "The evil spirits in Tianmu Mountain have been cleared, and Kuaiji County will have nothing to worry about. It can be said that you have saved the lives of the people. It is indeed a great merit."
"Daoyou." Ling Yunpo saw that he was talking nonstop, so he interrupted him and said, "I came here this time because someone asked me to ask about the Taoist tradition of Chonghe."
"Chonghe Taoist?" The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, "It is indeed the Taoist name of our sect's founder."
"It's just that... the ancestor said that the Taoist magic was passed down from Kunlun. Please forgive me for not leaking it."
"I see." Ling Yunpo nodded and smiled, "That's fine, I'm just asking."
Since only Kunlun has been passed on, then next time I will just use Qiu Changtian's account, and I won't have to worry about not getting the Divine Thunder.
His answer was so straightforward that the old Taoist priest felt a little guilty.
They came from afar and saved me from danger, so it is not excessive to ask for thunder magic as compensation.
After all, the Divine Thunder belongs to Taoism, not Qi-refining techniques. Plus, its rank is low, so it is not worthy of becoming the foundation of a Taoist school, so there is naturally no need to hide it.
Unfortunately, the founder particularly emphasized that this method should not be passed on to outsiders.
In this way, I will not be able to repay the other party, but will owe him a favor...
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest felt a little depressed.
It's easy to give magic, but it's hard to owe a favor! What's more, the other party is from the Shushan Sect. When he really asks you to repay the favor, it may be when you need to go through fire and water...
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind and said:
"Do you two fellow Taoists know why the demon wanted to abduct me here?"
"Oh?" Ling Yunpo asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"It's probably because they learned from somewhere that there are immortal relics in Tianmu Mountain." The old Taoist said solemnly.
Immortal relics? Ling Yunpo was surprised and stared at An Zhisu for a moment.
If it is indeed the remains of immortals, whether it is a secret realm or a remaining cave, the first group of people to explore will definitely benefit the most - unless they are limited by their strength and realm and cannot explore it completely.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you explaining this to me?" Ling Yunpo asked with a smile.
"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace." The old Taoist said solemnly, "I am a low-level Taoist, so naturally I have no chance to encounter such a wonderful encounter."
"It's just that... our sect's lineage was originally inherited from Kunlun. The descendants are not worthy, and now it is declining and has no ability to maintain it. If I can exchange this for Kunlun's permission to let my disciple and I return to the sect, it would be a good thing."
"So you want to return to Kunlun." Ling Yunpo immediately understood and said with a smile, "You really trust us."
The old Taoist priest was originally kidnapped and coerced by demons, but he accidentally learned information about the immortal ruins.
Now using it to exchange for a return to Kunlun can be considered a blessing in disguise for him and his disciples.
However, in order to repay the two men for saving his life, the old Taoist priest decided to give the first opportunity to explore the ruins.
This means you trust us and we won't destroy your bridges after crossing them. After getting the intelligence, you will kill the old Taoist priest and then go back to Shushan to report your achievement, right?
"What can you trust?" the old Taoist priest asked in confusion. "The immortal ruins are a secret place. It won't matter if you two explore it several times."
Lingyunpo: ...
It turns out that the other party didn't even think of the possibility of "killing to silence the witness". Ahem, my mind is too filthy.
However, since it is a secret realm of immortals, it must contain many treasures, or it must be a place of adventure, otherwise it would not make sense.
Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo felt a little moved.
Looking at An Zhisu again, the senior sister's eyes were also shining, and she cast a questioning look at him:
Do you want to answer it?
catch!
Ling Yunpo made up his mind, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."
"No, it's me who should thank you for saving my life." The old Taoist priest bowed in return.
The three of them were walking on the stone steps in the mountains when they heard the old Taoist priest say:
"Speaking of the immortal relics, they have actually been recorded in poems and lyrics long ago, but later generations just didn't know about them."
"The poem goes: 'Wearing Xie Gong's clogs, I climb the ladder to the blue sky. I see the sea sun on the half wall and hear the sky cock in the sky.' This means 'If you want to visit the cave, you must first climb high.'"
Continuing to climb the mountain road, after walking for a while, I saw a stream in front of me with gurgling water, which was elegant and interesting in its own way.
The old Taoist pointed at the river and said:
"The poem goes: 'The road is uncertain among the thousands of rocks and turns, I lean against the rocks and admire the flowers until it is suddenly dark. Bears roar and dragons roar in the deep rocks and springs, and the deep forests are startled by the peaks.' Here it means 'the mountain road is rugged and behind the streams and forests'."
After crossing the mountain stream and passing through the woods, the three of them came to a cave.
"This is the entrance to the immortal ruins." The old Taoist sighed and said, "As the poem says, 'The thunderbolt of Lieque destroys the hills and mountains. The stone door of the cave suddenly opens.' It means that we must use thunder magic to activate the ban and open the door."
"It's just that my cultivation level is too low, and my cultivation of Divine Thunder is too shallow. I have a treasure mountain but cannot enter it. If you two have the corresponding magical powers, you can give it a try."
Ling Yunpo burst out laughing, it turned out that he had another trick up his sleeve!
Yes, although the reward is the immortal ruins, if my sister and I cannot open the entrance to the ruins, then we cannot blame the old Taoist priest, and we will also have to give an explanation to Kunlun.
"Sister, do you know thunder magic?" Ling Yunpo asked casually.
"No." An Zhisu shook his head and told the truth.
She usually followed Su Jian's instructions, focused on practicing swordsmanship, and had no interest in other techniques.
"I don't know how to use thunder magic either." Ling Yunpo made a sword gesture and summoned the Thunder Sword from the sword box, "But I have this sword."
"Could it be a gold-type flying sword?" The old Taoist priest said in surprise, "Thunder magic is known for its great power. Even if the Taoist magic on the sword is thunder-type, it cannot compare to the power of the Five Thunders Law. It may be difficult to open this relic."
"Why not give it a try first?" Ling Yunpo smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and left the two behind.
Holding the Leizheng Sword in his right hand, he stroked the sword with his left hand, secretly pinched out the Jade Pivot Thunder and attached it with the "True Spirit Seal Sword Technique".
This True Spirit Seal Sword Technique was originally taught by Qing Ping Sword, who taught him to use Shao Fu Shang Yang sword energy to tame the vengeful spirits on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Evil Spirit Sword.
This time, Ling Yunpo made good use of it and used the Jade Pivot Thunder to attach the sword instead. Suddenly, the Thunder Sword screamed:
"What kind of thunder magic is this? Ah... wait a minute, ah! Master Sword Master, don't! Too much thunder, it will break..."
Its voice sounded a bit angry at first, but later it became more gentle.
After all, it is a flying sword of thunder attribute, and the cleansing by heavenly thunder can only benefit it, not harm it. Therefore, although it says "no", its tone actually sounds like "give me more".
Ling Yun had a heart as hard as stone and was not moved by its shouting at all. He just hit all the Jade Pivot Thunder on the sword and then flew forward with the sword.
The Thunder Sword, together with the Jade Thunder on it, hit the rock wall deep in the cave, and suddenly there was a loud bang that shook the earth!
