Chapter 81 Chapter 81 They are all relatives, they are all relatives...
"Has the Sword Prison changed? I'm afraid so." Wu Chan also knew about the Sword Prison. It existed before the Wu Clan went into hiding. She added, "It should have also affected the cultivation methods. Many of our clan members have gone astray in their cultivation."
Pei Zhaoting's eyes flickered as he exchanged glances with Ning Yanhu. When he was practicing the Star Formation, he made many mistakes and almost went crazy. He just thought it was because he was not good enough in his skills.
The monks from other sects also kept count in their minds. It seemed that in recent years, there were fellow Taoists who went astray from time to time, but such cases were not rare in the first place, and no one paid much attention to them.
Now that I think about it, it seems like there is a little bit more...
Most cultivators use the movement of celestial stars as inspiration for their creation of techniques. If there are errors in the celestial stars, even if only slightly, this will also increase the probability of going astray.
Although Bai Lu didn't know much about academics, she remembered one thing: "There is underground fire under our Xuan Mountain. I heard that the underground fire has been particularly strong in recent years, causing the plum blossoms to not bloom. Could it be due to the influence of this incident?"
No matter what, let's just blame it on this first!
Seeing Bai Lu speak, Pei Zhaoting also remembered something, "Brother Bai, do you remember the corpse transformation in Qinglong Town?"
Of course Bai Lu remembered it, that was his first mission after going down the mountain. After they captured Xian'er, the Blood Corpse Demon was alarmed and a big battle broke out.
It was Pei Zhaoting who pointed out that it might be related to the local royal family. The royal family placed many cursed talismans in the tomb, which led to the appearance of the bloody corpse. At that time, Pei Zhaoting went to find the Dayun royal family alone and said he wanted to settle the score.
But why did Senior Brother Pei bring it up? Could it be...
"At first, I believed that the royal family of Dayun was causing trouble, so I went to trouble them." Pei Zhaoting recalled, "But after I checked, I found that they did spread rumors to confuse the public, and they also set up restrictions in the tomb to prevent outsiders from burying it, but the corpse transformation that time was indeed unrelated to their restrictions.
"I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find any other reasons. In the end, I could only think that the changes in the land network caused the feng shui to change, which gave rise to the evil spirit, so I didn't do anything about it.
"But now it suddenly occurred to me, could it be that the source is still in that star?"
At that time, Bai Lu and Pei Zhaoting were not familiar with each other. Pei Zhaoting did not even look at him straight in the eye, so how could he tell Bai Lu in detail about the subsequent handling? He was completely unaware of such a follow-up. It turned out that this matter might also be affected by Xing Miu.
A little error in the stars, like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, can cause so many changes.
There was even a time when the Red Dust was testing its edge, and the Green Emperor's secret realm that had not appeared for thousands of years appeared. At that time, they wondered if it was triggered by Pei Zhaoting's formation.
Now it seems that if it is because of Xing Miu, wouldn’t it be more likely?
Bai Lu and Huo Xue looked at each other, and then they recalled the strangeness of the formation. Worry surged in their hearts, and they tried to ask Wu Chan: "And then...?"
Wu Chan said: "This slight difference has already caused a disaster, and then our clan is determined to make up for it and correct the star error. But the previous star error was caused by years and months, how can we move it at the moment?"
Tiger's eyes were dark, and his tone became low, "In the past, the witch queen had ten great witches under her command. After the great witch Jiang died in battle, his remains were buried in the west of Lingshan."
The Witch Queen is generally regarded as one of the five ancient emperors along with the Green Emperor and the Dragon King. As the saying goes "the latter is the king", the Witch Queen does not mean the queen, but the ruler of the witch clan.
The ten great wizards under his command were also famous figures in ancient times.
But why did Wu Chan mention the remains of this great witch...? Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly had some guesses and looked at Wu Chan closely.
Wu Chan said: "The clan leader decided to use his remains as the corpse master, summon his soul, and control his power."
Summon the dead!
Bai Lu had seen this kind of magic before.
In Liuxian Gorge, Posaer wanted to use witch magic to summon an ancient monster. Although the soul of the huge monster had not yet fully revived, its tremendous strength and body were at Posaer's disposal.
Bai Lu also fantasized about what kind of power would the huge ancient monster have if it had succeeded in summoning Posuo and completely returned to the human world?
Now, he finds he may have witnessed a similar success story.
As expected, Wu Chan said, "The clan leader succeeded. He used himself as a bond to summon back the Great Witch Jiang among the Ten Ancient Witches! My Witch Clan has lived in the Holy Mountain for a long time, and this Holy Mountain was opened up by the Great Witch Jiang in the past. Jiang even wrestled with dragons and phoenixes and won in a debate."
What kind of power is this, surpassing dragons and phoenixes? Everyone is yearning for it when they hear about it. What would happen if such a talented person returned to the world?
Wu Chan sighed deeply, "We begged the Great Witch to use his divine power to reverse the star error, but unfortunately, it didn't go as we wished."
Why is this? The monks listened attentively, wondering, could such a great witch not be able to accomplish this?
When Wu Chan got to this point, she turned back to the ancient times and mentioned, "Wu Jiang was born in the heyday of the Wu clan. Under the leadership of the Wu Queen, all creatures in the world submitted to her. The magic of the Wu clan was the righteous way that everyone sought, wandering between life and death, when yin and yang intertwined.
"But now that Wu Jiang has been called back, the Wu Clan is no longer what it used to be. They are even called treacherous and evil because their skills are completely different from those of other clans. Wu Jiang questioned the clan leader, asking why he wanted to close off the sacred mountain, retreat to one place, and allow others to exclude him.
"The clan leader only said that he was concentrating on cultivation, but the Great Witch was furious and didn't listen at all. He scolded the Witch Clan for falling to this state. Then... he actually tried to seize the clan leader's soul."
When these words were spoken, everyone was extremely shocked!
Resurrecting the souls of the dead is actually a forbidden power. It disrupts yin and yang and forcibly recruits the souls of the dead. It is said that the ghost sect today cannot obtain even a fraction of the essence of the witch clan in the past.
But unexpectedly, just like the ghosts and demons of the underworld who created ghosts and souls, the witch clan, who had been wandering between life and death for many years, also suffered a backlash, and it was the elders of their own clan who suffered the backlash.
This great wizard who possessed terrifying power in the ancient chaos returned to the world, and after discovering that times had changed, he chose to turn the tables!
Wu Chan said: "That's right. Seeing that the Wu clan was in decline, the Great Wu stayed in the human world and controlled all the clan members who did not want to submit, including the clan leader, and forced them to form a formation together."
Although Wu Chan did not say what Wu Jiang looked like, Bai Lu immediately thought of the tall Wu clan member who had just passed the mountain gate and had a faint question with dark fire in his eyes.
So, what kind of formation did Wu Jiang arrange?
All the cultivators thought about the formation that exuded tremendous power that they had seen at the mountain gate. They felt both anticipation and anxiety, not knowing what truth they would hear.
Wu Chan lowered her eyes and spoke in a low but shocking voice: "The Great Witch wants to move all the stars in the sky back to their ancient state, so that the stars can return to... the era that is most suitable for the Witch Clan to practice."
The scene fell into deathly silence, and the smell of incense all around suddenly became pungent.
Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone was still shocked when they heard that Wu Jiang was going to do such a heaven-defying thing.
Bai Lu was also stunned. That's right, he and Huo Xuexiang realized that the formation was unusual. It didn't seem like it was just pushing the Netherworld, but it seemed to have a bigger plan. However, they didn't expect Wu Jiang to be so powerful that he could actually reverse the Zhou Tian stars.
As the sun, moon and stars change, the earth's network moves with them, and the world changes. Because of the changes in the stars, the human races that rely on comprehending the laws of nature to cultivate immortality always rise and fall.
There is no permanent master in the world, and whichever race is the first to gain enlightenment from the current astrology will have the first chance to rise. Or, in other words, the natural environment at certain times is more suitable for some races, and that becomes their proud moment.
Aquatic creatures, feathered creatures, human beings... on the stage of history, one after another took the stage and took turns to be the overlord.
Now the Wu Clan is trying to reverse everything and go back to the ancient times. The heyday of the Wu Clan that Wu Jiang was familiar with was also a chaotic era.
"...You didn't deliberately merge the Netherworld into the human world," Pei Zhaoting thought of this and his usually calm expression changed, "It was just a matter of convenience, because in ancient times, the Netherworld and the human world were not completely separated!"
That is why the witches at that time practiced how to control ghosts and monsters and step into the underworld.
Now the netherworld is taking over in a big way? It is just a matter of convenience for the ghosts and monsters to surrender.
Otherwise, the Wu Clan would not have only occasionally sent Nuo beasts to guide battle situations and magic, while the entire clan stayed in Lingshan. What they cared about most was not the border war.
because……
"Once the formation is successfully implemented, the stars will move backwards, the landforms will change, and disasters will befall the human world. The oceans will flood back, the continents will collide, and there will be countless ghosts!"
But for Wu Jiang, ghosts can also become part of the sacrifice, so what's wrong with that?
"The power of the Great Witch is far beyond our reach. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret." Wu Chan said, "The Wu Clan practices the art of communicating with the spirits, which is to control the way of yin and yang, rather than wantonly subverting and trampling life with death. At that time, many members of the clan saw that the Great Witch was taking the minds of those who were disobedient, and hurriedly pretended to agree. Then, when the great formation was first set up a few years ago, they tried to resist."
When mentioning this, a look of pity appeared in Hu's eyes.
"The tribe secretly drew the magic and used it on silk books to seal the witch. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the witch and only delayed the witch for a while. In the end, the witch slaughtered a group of tribesmen and turned them into zombies. The rest of the tribesmen were also controlled by her magic one by one, so that none of us could leave this sacred mountain.
"Rather than helping Wu Jiang complete the formation, it's more like being trapped in the formation together, serving as fuel. I don't even know whether she wants the Wu Clan to rise, or herself to be the first in eternity?!
"Among the twelve Nuo beasts, two or three are raised by me. I have practiced the art of soul division, so I have been secretly keeping some strength in the Nuo beasts. Finally, I waited for the right opportunity and ordered the Nuo beasts to pass on the message when they were sent out to investigate.
"But for some reason, the Nuo beast sent messages many times but received no response. It wanted to risk leaving the netherworld, but the Ghost King noticed something was wrong and got injured in the fight, so he killed it. I thought there would be no outside help, but then you came. Then I realized that the Dragon and Phoenix tribes were not in the human world, no wonder there was no news."
Wu Chan had not left Lingshan for a long time, and sent a message to the powerful forces in her memory, but the recipient had already moved away.
Everyone then suddenly realized that the Ghost King had appeared at the border of Jintingzhou before, and Yan Changming was at the scene. He also said that the Ghost King was hunting down some demon tribe. Now it seems that it is clearly the Nuo beast.
It was also said that the Ghost King escaped with serious injuries, but it turned out that he eventually died at the hands of the Nuo beast.
Wu Chan emphasized: "Now, the first part of the formation has been completed, and the Netherworld has reconnected with the human world. Next, if we can't stop it in time, once the formation is completely completed, less than 20% of the mortal creatures will be able to survive."
Wu Chan's words made the monks look heavy-hearted. This was truly a disaster that would destroy the world, more serious than they had expected, and such an important matter actually depended on themselves.
You Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Most of the cultivators in the human world are fighting against the ghosts of the underworld. Wu Jiang is so powerful and has taken control of many witch tribes. I am afraid that our strength is weak. Do you know his weakness?"
He saw that Wu Chan was able to keep his soul free in such a situation, and his memory showed his position and abilities when he arranged the formation, so he knew that she was not an ordinary person.
Wu Chan would secretly take action to save them. Of course, she had some ideas in mind. She needed an outsider to complete the task on her behalf while she was under restriction.
Wu Chan took out a silk book in the form of Qiongqi and said, "This is the magic used to summon Wu Jiang. I have devoted myself to rewriting it for several years. If I can perform it successfully, I can send the Great Wu back. Moreover, now is the critical moment of the formation, which has delayed the Great Wu's mind for a long time. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have a good opportunity."
She paused, and then continued: "Although you came here with some preparation, this matter is indeed very dangerous..."
Huo Xuexiang has already grasped the silk book.
"Thank you, senior." Huo Xuexiang said solemnly.
Just like the monks on the border were fighting, the demon cultivators in Jintingzhou were resisting, and some witches never gave up, at least delaying the time. Otherwise, the human world might have fallen earlier.
Wu Chan sighed and said, "After all, it was my Wu clan that caused all this trouble. I'm sorry everyone." The Wu clan also paid a heavy price for this.
Huo Xuexiang unfolded the silk book, and most of the witches were restricted and could not leave the formation. However, the witches' magic on this silk book required many people to perform the magic together, and they also needed to cooperate with others.
Fortunately, most people are now in the basket, so Huo Xuexiang unfolded it, condensed it in the air, and projected it like a big screen for other cultivators to watch and learn.
Wu Chan was right. This was the last chance. We could only use Wu Jiang's concentration on the formation to cast this witchcraft.
"This technique also requires the cooperation of some magical instruments of the Wu clan. This is the Wu clan cemetery. I will dig some burial objects here for you to use." Wu Chan said, and began to dig the grave with tiger claws. Whatever magical instruments you need can be dug immediately.
"Uh..." No one knew what to say. At this moment, let's not worry about respect or not. We just hoped that the burial instruments of our predecessors would be useful.
Bai Lu also memorized the witchcraft on the silk book, thinking to herself, what should I do? Am I considered a necromancer...
Huo Xuexiang shook Bai Lu's hand.
Bai Lu came back to her senses, but without reacting, she pulled up Huo Xuexiang's hand, which was clasped with hers, and rubbed it against her face, looking at him blankly.
Huo Xuexiang laughed, pulled him to the side of Qiongqi, and took out several other silk books they brought with them: "Senior, do you recognize this thing?"
Bai Lu then realized that Huo Xuexiang was asking about his origins on his behalf. He suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if Wu Chan knew about it.
Wu Chan paused and pulled open a few silk books. When she saw the one that Bai Lu brought when she came, she exclaimed, "Ah!"
"Do you know? What is this?" Bai Lu asked anxiously.
"This is... the first silk book drawn by the Great Witch. This is the ancient constellation, and it is also the constellation she was in back then." Wu Chan thought about the situation at that time and was silent for a moment before saying, "Didn't I just say that the tribe had rebelled once?"
"During that rebellion, everyone secretly used their own skills and left a second spell on the silk book. The mixed power exploded and even tore open the cracks in the Ten Thousand Worlds, scattering many silk books. It seems that you picked them up..."
Bai Lu was distracted. A crack in space and time? But he was in Xuanshan when he came here, and the silk book had obviously been circulating in his hometown for a while before it appeared on the wizard forum. Was there a teleportation spell in the silk book?
There are also the witch clan silk books and magic tools that appeared in Liuxian Gorge. We originally thought they were found in tombs where people had robbed them. Maybe they were also scattered?
Wu Chan continued with emotion: "At that time, there was another tribesman who thought that Wu Jiang was good at borrowing the stars, but it would be better for us to use the power of the earth network and summon the descendants of the Green Emperor for help, so we might be able to deal with it. After all, it is said that the Green Emperor once changed the appearance of Huanhua and Weirui continents, and he was most proficient in the earth network. Unfortunately, it did not succeed..."
As she was speaking with regret, she saw Bai Lulu's eyes widened for some reason.
Bai Lu was speechless, not knowing what to say. After a moment, she said blankly, "No, you succeeded."
Wu Chan said doubtfully, "It didn't work. After all, we don't have much experience in summoning living creatures. It could also be that the Green Emperor has no successor, just like the dragon and the phoenix."
Bai Lu pointed at herself, her tone a little dazed: "No, you succeeded, you summoned me out!"
Wu Chan's tiger eyes widened for a moment, "You?"
"It's me! I'm the descendant of the Green Emperor. This is the Green Emperor's Jade. Do you recognize it?" Bai Lu showed the Green Emperor's Jade on the staff, and then remembered, "... No, it wasn't when I came here!"
Moreover, the silk book had been circulated for some time before it was put into use in his hands.
Wait, what's going on? Am I destined to be the descendant of the Green Emperor? Does the future tense count? ?
Bai Lu was confused. What kind of time and space paradox was this? If he hadn't come here, he would never have become the descendant of the Green Emperor, but the Witch Clan summoned the descendant of the Green Emperor.
What exactly does the emergence of the Qingdi Secret Realm mean?
Wu Chan remembered that the child had indeed used spores to attack them, and was shocked and said, "Are you really the descendant of the Green Emperor?! Then why didn't you come back then?"
Bai Lu said miserably, "How could I be here? I only became the descendant of the Green Emperor this year, and I was in a meeting at the hotel when your silk book suddenly dragged me to the world of immortal cultivation! Fortunately, I didn't fall into the sacred mountain, otherwise I would have died on the spot, right?"
Wu Chan heard a lot of confusion, but she probably understood that the magic trick back then was actually effective, but she didn't know what went wrong and she summoned a future successor of the Green Emperor!
"How amazing..." Wu Chan also felt it was magical, yet also felt a little regretful and compassionate.
——If Bai Lu had only inherited the Green Emperor’s techniques this year, how capable could she be like the Green Emperor?
To be able to become the successor of the Green Emperor, one must have extraordinary aptitude and understanding. Bai Lu is young, but he was implicated in the disaster. He is really innocent.
"Of course it's strange. The Green Emperor Jue hasn't appeared for many years." Bai Lu was now filled with excitement. It turned out that all of this originated from the Witch Clan.
"The Wu clan travels between the two worlds and is good at controlling space. May I ask if the senior can teach us the art of summoning through the air? Because Bai Lu comes from a place that is not in this world." Huo Xuexiang asked. He was still thinking about Bai Lu's way home, and under the current circumstances, it would be okay to be honest with Wu Chan.
Not in this world? Wu Chan was not too surprised. After all, the Wu Clan usually studied these strange techniques, but it was still a rare thing.
"...I think it should be possible, but the technique is not complete. You see, you summoned a future descendant of the Green Emperor. And that tribe member's soul was destroyed, but the remaining technique was left. I'm afraid you have to figure it out on your own." Wu Chan looked in a certain direction and added faintly, "If there is still a chance."
"There must be, there must be." Bai Lu said hatefully, "Okay, now I understand, I traveled through time because of Wu Jiang, and there was also the zombie in Qinglong Town, the furnace exploded on Tianxuan Peak, and the flowers on Dianmei Peak didn't bloom... No matter what, let's blame it on Wu Jiang first. It was also her fault that my master had been blinded all the time. I will repay her with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!"
At the same time, Bai Lu did not forget to calm down and said to Huo Xuexiang: "But there is still a good thing, but it is not Wu Jiang's credit, but that of the Wu clan elder!"
If he hadn't come here, he wouldn't have met his destined lover, nor would he have met so many good friends.
How could Huo Xuexiang not know this? He looked at the wizard who had a clear distinction between love and hate and nodded with a smile.
Wu Chan's heart was as dead as water at first, but she was holding on to fulfill her duty. When she heard Bai Lu mumbling about settling scores and saying something about tit for tat, she couldn't help but laugh.
She and her people went through years of resistance and waited for a long time before the arrival of cultivators from outside Lingshan. It was like the leaping of white dew and the sprouting of tender green bringing hope.
It was just that Wu Chan was a little upset about the fact that she was slightly inferior to Bai Lu in the previous head-on confrontation. That was obviously not Bai Lu's main skill, but it was the skill she had been studying.
If she had let him off a bit before under Wu Jiang's nose, then she had really used all her strength just now. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of this, you look like both a human and a wood race. It's because you are the descendant of the Green Emperor, but how can you escape from my mind control technique?"
Bai Lu: “…”
Bai Lu wanted to brag about it, but considering that Senior Wu Chan was already miserable enough, she said honestly: "Because I am telling the truth, I am a wizard in my hometown, with the same name as you. In fact, what we learn is also different, we all study the universe and nature."
Wu Chan nodded thoughtfully. If that were the case, it was indeed a deep fate. She didn't know that wizards were a profession in the other world. She only said, "So that's how it is. Then we are actually distant relatives."
"?" Huo Xuexiang suddenly raised his eyes and saw Bai Lu blooming a lovely smile after catching the familiar words.
"Hey, should I call you cousin?" Bai Lu said.
Wu Chan smiled and really admitted it. She felt sorry for Bai Lu coming to the alien world alone, helpless and helpless. She opened her tiger mouth and said softly, "Cousin."
…
Bai Lu tied around her waist a string of magical waist bells that Wu Chan had just dug out. This might be a burial object of some great wizard. The power fluctuations were almost surging out when she shook it.
Wu Chan distributed the other magic tools one by one, "I will explain the silk book to everyone, the details of how the Wu clan's magic is performed."
"This bell seems to be a little deflated, is it okay?" Bai Lu raised her hand and asked, "Cousin?"
"It's okay." Wu Chan said.
Others: “???”
You Yue asked doubtfully, "What did you call her?"
Bai Lu: "Cousin."
Wu Chan also said: "We just talked about this, it turns out that we are all distant relatives."
You Yue: “…”
Distant relatives, what a familiar word! How did you get to know each other? You first led your distant relatives to fight the demon cultivators, and then you led everyone to fight your distant relatives together? ?
Cheng Yunjun slowly stretched out a branch and shook hands with Wu Chan: "What a coincidence, I am his cousin, and also a distant relative."
"?" Wu Chan raised her eyebrows. She thought Bai Lu was alone. Tiger Claw still touched Cheng Yunjun, the cousin's brother. "Yes, we are all relatives."
Everyone: “…………”
