Chapter 94 (Once a God)



The two of them made up their minds, and the next step was to find the opportunity.

Those expressionless Brahma followers all seemed to be blessed by mysterious powers. If they were to come all at once, it would be difficult to entangle them. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to capture them.

This time, Ranran's small waist bag was filled with the talismans that Jiu Laoxian had made for him.

He was captured and eventually fell into Wei Yan's hands. Although he suffered some torture, there was one benefit, which was that his skill in drawing talismans was greatly improved.

In addition, when Jiu Laoxian found out that Ranran was actually his old friend Mu Qingge, he naturally gave her many top-notch talismans.

So the two men and the tiger chose the invisibility talisman, put away their own true qi, paid attention to regulating their breath, and went up the cliff. When they came out, they looked around and found that there were not many Brahma followers. More people gathered at the top of the mountain and were still building the tower against the sky.

Mu Ranwu seemed to have gone to the top of the mountain as well, so they followed her and reached the top of the mountain as well.

When approaching the black bone tower, Su Yishui and Xue Ranran both felt a chill.

Even Gengjin White Tiger's hair on its neck stood up because of discomfort.

Ranran stroked the tiger's fur soothingly, then looked at Mu Ranwu who was standing under the tower.

Because of the scar on her face, she always wrapped her face with gauze. When she looked at the bone tower, she would stroke her face from time to time.

Ranran felt that if her sister in the previous life also wanted to turn back time, she probably wanted to return to the time before her appearance was ruined?

Just as Mu Ranwu turned around and prepared to go down the mountain to check on the intruders, she turned a corner and suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing towards her.

Mu Ranwu's heart skipped a beat, and when she wanted to scream, her acupuncture points had already been blocked and she could not move. Then she was lifted up and quickly taken to the cave under the cliff.

When Xue Ranran and Su Yishui revealed their invisibility talismans, Mu Qingge was not panicked. He just sneered twice: "So it turns out that the intruders are you two. I guessed that you were going to cause trouble..."

Xue Ranran didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she immediately slapped a mantra talisman on Mu Ranwu's forehead: "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the Brahma Cult building this black tower?"

Mu Ranwu's face showed no difficulty, as if she would be willing to answer this question even without the talisman: "Why? You can't even see this? The existence of this tower is naturally against fate, against the flow of time, and to make up for the regrets of life!"

Ran Ran frowned and said, "What a crazy idea! Wouldn't it cause chaos in the three realms?"

Mu Ranwu laughed out loud after hearing this: "What's wrong with chaos? This world is inherently unfair. God has been unfair to me, so don't I need a chance to start over? Sister, guess what I would do if I could start over again?"

Xue Ranran said coldly: "Whose idea was this? Who is the mastermind behind the Brahma Cult?"

Mu Ranwu smiled and said, "He is a being beyond God, the only saint in the world. As long as you follow him, you can get true eternal life! What do you think? Sister, don't you consider joining the Brahma Sect?"

But when Ran Ran asked who that person was, Mu Ran Wu couldn't explain it clearly. It seemed that she really didn't know the man's name and background. She just said that the man always wore a mask and that he was the one who revived the Brahma Sect that had disappeared.

Su Yishui looked at Mu Ranwu's arrogant expression and said coldly, "You don't seem to be worried about your current situation at all."

Mu Ranwu smiled: "Since time is going to flow back, you and I will live again, so does this moment still matter? Su Yishui, don't you have many regrets? My sister took the initiative to change your fate as an emperor. You should have become an emperor, and many people would not trade such honor for a god. As long as you are willing to rely on the great god Brahma, you can also go back to the past with your current memories and make up for all your regrets!"

When she said this, Mu Ranwu's eyes were wild and her words were very tempting. Xue Ranran on the side couldn't help but look at Su Yishui, worrying whether he would be seduced by this crazy woman.

Su Yishui said coldly: "Only incompetent people would hope to turn back time. I will only move forward and never look back."

These were not his words to mock Mu Ranwu, but his true feelings, although the soul-cleansing talisman made him forget his past with Mu Qingge.

However, after going through so many twists and turns, although he seemed to have lost a lot of things he originally wanted, he also gained a lot that he never thought he would get.

Therefore, Su Yishui only wants to move forward and does not want to go back in time and change even a little bit of the present.

After hearing what Su Yishui said, Mu Ranwu sighed with regret: "It's really a stubborn fate! But you didn't think that since you came to Kongshan, you can't go back? There are some bones missing for building the spirit tower. Since you are here, you can leave a set of bones as materials for building the tower!"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Ranwu suddenly broke free from the previous restraints and swung the sword towards Su Yishui's face.

After not seeing each other for just over a month, Mu Ranwu's skills seemed to have improved a lot. When she wielded the sword, she no longer had the basic moves of Xishan from the past. She seemed to have learned new sword techniques. Each of her moves was vicious and accurate, and the spiritual power she exuded also carried a strange aura.

It looks very similar to the moves of those expressionless people from the Brahma sect.

Xue Ranran also rushed forward, and the two of them fought with Mu Ranwu.

When they started fighting, Xue Ranran was shocked, because Mu Ranwu had become much stronger, as if she had become a different person.

Mu Ranwu also noticed this and couldn't help laughing: "I have already offered all my spiritual energy to Lord Brahma, and in return I received the supreme magic power bestowed by the Lord. Sister, do you always think that I have to be grateful for everything you have 'given' me? Including the spiritual power inherited from you? Now, what I have has nothing to do with you!"

When she said this, her eyes and eyebrows were full of pride: These two people still think that she is the defeated general, Wu Xia Amon? Do they really think that she was kidnapped here because she is incompetent?

She wanted to catch them off guard and ruthlessly knock off the arrogance on the faces of these two natural geniuses of cultivation, making them regret not taking her seriously!

Thinking of this, Mu Ranwu's hands became more fierce.

The only requirement to officially become a follower of the Brahma religion is to sacrifice one's own cultivation and thus be reborn. So Mu Ranwu has been hesitant.

But that time in the Poor Village, she was beaten badly and her self-esteem was crushed to pieces. She had no scruples anymore and finally gritted her teeth and sacrificed her spiritual power.

The Lord Brahma really did not deceive her. Although she lost her spiritual energy, she gained power that was ten times greater than her own.

Now she could fight against these two people easily without feeling any effort. The ecstasy of having turned the tables was simply indescribable.

All of a sudden, the speed of her sword stabbing at the two of them gradually increased, and at the same time, the spiritual power she was wrapped around became stronger and stronger.

Although this game of cat and mouse was very exciting, what she wanted more was to see her sword piercing these two people!

At this moment, a huge tiger suddenly jumped out from the side, roared, and almost bit half of Mu Ranwu's arm.

Mu Ranwu was so frightened that she took a step back, and only then did she see clearly that the huge tiger was actually the Gengjin White Tiger.

However, its current size was even larger than it was 20 years ago when it was not injured. Its eyes seemed to be emitting cold golden light, as if it was about to become an immortal.

Mu Ranwu was frightened by the sudden appearance of the white tiger. She was afraid of this white tiger 20 years ago, and now it suddenly became bigger, which was really frightening.

As a result, she kept retreating, her footsteps missed one by one, and she fell off the cliff. When she fell, she suddenly came to her senses: Even if the white tiger is bigger, so what? With her current ability, it would be easy to pinch off the tiger's head.

Sometimes we always forget that the abilities we acquire easily belong to us. In that moment of distraction, Mu Ranwu had already lost the opportunity.

When she turned around and jumped back onto the cliff, the two men and the tiger seemed to have put on an invisibility talisman again and disappeared.

Mu Ranwu gritted her teeth in annoyance, but the tower that defied heaven would be completed soon. Once the four towers were completed and connected into a line, then defying heaven and changing one's destiny would be just around the corner!

By then, she wanted to go back to Xishan.

I remember that Mu Qingge thought about sending her to a farmer's house to live with her because she was young and weak, and she was going to sell herself to a rich family as a maid to support her. But she cried and refused to be separated from her sister, and she happened to meet the master in Xishan, who accepted the two sisters as his apprentices.

If she could go back to that time, she would never cry. She would just let her sister be a maid while she waited quietly for the master from Xishan to pass by.

This time, she will go up the mountain alone to learn how to cultivate, go to Tianmai Mountain to accept the test, follow the path her sister has walked, become famous, and become a great man.

If that were possible, she would do her best to redeem her sister, find a decent man for her to marry, and let her live a good life. Then, she could watch her sister serve her husband, have children, grow old little by little, and die an ordinary death.

Maybe that way, she and her sister could get along peacefully, and she wouldn't have to feel like she owed her sister anything.

Hadn't her elder sister also gently advised her that if she couldn't bear the hardship of cultivating the Tao, she could go down the mountain and get married? Since getting married was so good, she could fulfill her elder sister's wish in this life.

By then, she will be able to completely repair this irreparable sisterhood and proudly accept the praise of the world.

With this in mind, Mu Ranwu took a deep breath, turned back to the top of the mountain, and directed people to continue building the tall bone tower.

Besides, Xue Ranran and Su Yishui have already arrived at the back mountain of Kongshan. This place is the forbidden area of ​​Kongshan Sect. It is said that this is the place where the founder of the sect passed away. The mortal bodies of the leaders and elders of Kongshan Sect are also buried here.

As the burial place of the elders of the Kongshan Sect, this place is full of lush forests, gurgling streams, and beautiful scenery. However, when Xue Ranran and Su Yishui arrived, they saw collapsed tombs and ruins.

Xue Ranran felt pity when he saw this, and Su Yishui also frowned. The two walked forward, and there were dug graves everywhere on the ground. It seemed that the black bone tower on the top of the mountain was made of local materials.

However, the further you go, the fewer tombs there are, and the more noble the corpses in the tombs are.

In the center of the back mountain, there is only a large tomb with a radius of several acres. The tombstone is engraved with "The Tomb of Master Kongshan Wen Yian".

Ranran recalled the stories about their master's past that Wen Chunhui had told her on the way here, and she immediately realized that the person buried here was Wen Yian, the founder of the Kongshan School.

Her cultivation level back then was not inferior to that of the Great Shield Heaven, but in the end, she did not ascend to heaven. Instead, she chose to sit in meditation and then sleep forever on the hillside facing the Tianmai Mountain.

After ascending to heaven, she could be with the infatuated Duntian, but she chose to give up in the end, and instead stared at the deserted Tianmai Mountain from afar, silently staying with him...

Ranran felt that Master Wen was a very special woman.

The difference between this tomb and the messy tombs around it is also very obvious. Surprisingly, the tomb of this founder of the sect is well preserved and has not been disturbed.

Xue Ranran exclaimed, looked at Su Yishui, and quickly walked to the tombstone.

Xue Ranran looked around again and whispered, "Strange, almost all the cemeteries of the Kongshan Sect have been dug up, why is the tomb of the founder of the sect the only one left? Could it be that her bones are not good enough to build a pagoda?"

Su Yishui also raised his eyebrows slightly, and the two of them guessed for a while, could it be that the master's skills were really not enough and not suitable; or could it be that the master did not sit in meditation in the back mountain at all, but went somewhere else, and there were no bones in this tomb?

At this moment, Su Yishui suddenly listened for a moment, pointed his finger far away, and then put his hand on his lips to signal Xue Ranran not to speak. The two of them simultaneously performed the spell to gather spiritual power, so that not a single bit of spiritual power in their bodies was released.

The two of them had invisibility talismans on their bodies. Even if an immortal were in front of them, he would not be able to detect them if he did not know about it in advance.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a tall figure wearing a black shirt and a mask walked over. The man moved slowly, with almost no footsteps, as if he had come in the wind.

He was holding a large basket in his hand, and it looked like he was here to sweep graves. When he arrived at the tomb of Master Wen, he bent down, pulled out the grass on the grave mound one by one, and then took out a bowl of meat buns and a handful of goldenrod, which was not common in this season, from the basket.

Su Yishui stared at the person who came closely, and all the muscles in his body were slightly tense.

At this time, Xue Ranran vaguely guessed who this person was. He should be the leader of the Brahma Sect that Mu Ranwu mentioned.

He was wearing a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly, but he came to clean the grave of the deceased master of the Kongshan Sect.

I think he would not come to sweep the graves and apologize because he felt guilty for occupying someone else's mountain. He must have some connection with the Kongshan Sect, so he came to pay tribute to the old friend.

At this time, the man wiped the dust off the tombstone with his sleeves and said, "Since you two are here, why not show yourself and talk? I am the temporary owner of Kongshan, so I will naturally treat you as a guest."

After saying that, the man casually threw the two green grasses on his fingertips. The soft green grass flew straight towards the two people hiding in the distance, just knocking down the invisibility charms they had attached to their chests.

Since their identities were revealed, Su Yishui and Xue Ranran simply came to meet them openly.

Xue Ranran sniffed the faint scent of herbs in the air, and suddenly raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance and help over and over again."

Her nose was very sharp and she could tell right away that this was the smell she had smelled when she met the fake medicine immortal in Tianmai Mountain.

Afterwards, the old herdsman she met by the sea of ​​flowers and the old man who gave her a pair of straw sandals at the foot of Chiyan Mountain all had this smell.

So she was certain that she had met this masked man at least three times.

The man didn't seem surprised that Ran Ran recognized her, and just said lightly: "You are very smart to recognize me."

Xue Ranran said: "The smell of herbs on you is very special, it is unforgettable."

It was not simply the smell of herbs, but the sweet and bitter taste of herbs mixed with an indescribable smell of decay, which was why Ranran could not forget it.

The man said in a low voice, "I have traveled in the lowest level of hell in the underworld. My body carries the smell of corruption from there, and I can only cover it up with the smell of herbs..."

Xue Ranran saw that he had no intention of killing her, so she could only cup her fists and whisper, "Excuse me, senior, are you the leader of the Brahma Cult?"

The man stood up from in front of the grave, looked up at the shadow of Tianmai Mountain in the distance, and said calmly: "I just exchanged some things with a group of greedy people. They are actually free to come and go, and I am not a leader of any kind. Everyone took what they needed, and when the benefits were exhausted, they dispersed."

Su Yishui, who had been staring at this person, said coldly: "Then may I ask your Excellency, why did you drive those people to capture the major sects and collect the bones of the powerful to build these bone towers?"

The man continued in a dazed tone, "Isn't the name 'Tower of Heaven' the answer? I want to defy heaven, turn back time, and relive the past. The dead are reborn."

Ran Ran continued to probe: "The person you want to be reborn...is the person in the grave in front of you?"

The man took a few steps back, looked down at the grave and said, "The person lying here is someone I once felt guilty about. But she should have reincarnated into a human being again. Why should I disturb her peace?"

After hearing this, Ran Ran's mind suddenly flashed with lightning, and an idea that she had never thought of before came to her mind...

Thinking of this, she suddenly asked, "Excuse me, sir, have you ever met the Mighty Shield Sky?"

The man sneered: "He's already dead, why are you asking him?"

After saying this, he turned around and wanted to leave without paying any attention to the two people who had entered the mountain. But at this moment, Ran Ran suddenly started to hum the tune he had learned on Tianmai Mountain.

When the clear and gentle voice echoed in this messy cemetery, it actually brought with it an indescribable sense of sadness and desolation.

The man who was about to turn around and leave suddenly stopped when he heard Ran Ran singing. Gradually, his shoulders began to tremble slightly. He turned around abruptly and said in a hoarse voice: "Stop singing!"

His shout was filled with overwhelming energy and rushed straight towards Ranran who was singing in a low voice.

Wherever the shock wave passed, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the impact force was astonishing!

Su Yishui on the side immediately put up a spiritual shield to block the man's attack, but the huge impact force caused Su Yishui's muscles and bones to ache all over his body, and he almost felt that his spiritual veins were torn apart.

The reason why he was able to hold off was definitely not because of his profound skills, but because the man was so furious that he obviously showed mercy.

"I know why you two came here, but I believe you should understand now that your strength is no more than an ant trying to shake a tree."

Xue Ranran's hand tightly grasped Su Yishui's, while staring at the man, and said firmly: "You... could it be that the great man who was supposed to have passed away... Duntian?"

Hearing this, the man said calmly: "You are really smart. Not only does your singing resemble Yao Er, but your intelligence and energy are also like her..."

Duntian’s wife is called Rong Yao, so when he said this, he tacitly acknowledged Xue Ranran’s statement and acknowledged that he was Duntian.

At that time, Duntian abandoned his wife and children in the battle with the Demon King, and became an immortal in one battle.

But in the endless years that followed, he was immersed in the pain of losing his wife and children. If he was Shield Sky, then the reason why he built this tower against the sky was obvious - he wanted to turn back time, return to the battle before the human demon king, and make a completely different choice from before.

Such a crazy idea actually came from a fairy?

If Ranran hadn't verified it herself, she would never have believed it.

"You... just because of a regretful decision you made back then, you went to such great lengths to secretly open the underworld, release monsters, persecute the righteous and famous, and openly violate the laws of heaven... Have you forgotten that you are an immortal, a god who protects the world and all people?"

After listening to Ranran's accusation, the man laughed sadly, then reached out and slowly took off his mask...

When Ranran saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but gasp again.

Duntian must have been very handsome originally. His old handsomeness could still be seen in the relatively intact eyebrows and eyes on the left side of his face. However, the skin on the right side of his face had long since rotted and the red flesh had turned out, like a rotting corpse. No wonder he was fumigated with herbs. If it weren't for the smell of the herbs, it would have been difficult to cover up the rancid smell on his body.

At this moment, Duntian sneered, "Little girl, do you think I am still a fairy? Isn't it ridiculous for you to tell a possessed person what he can do or not do?"

Ranran pulled Su Yishui back several steps.

Duntian once ascended to become an immortal, but then he turned into a demon.

He has been possessed by a demon, but he is a hundred times more terrifying than a human demon.

Because Duntian was once a god, but fell from the path of immortality to the path of evil. She had never heard of such a situation before.

If a person is possessed by a demon, it is easy to subdue him. But what kind of fierce and terrifying existence is it when a former immortal is possessed by a demon?

At this moment, the rolling thunder that had paused above the empty mountain started up again. In an instant, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and it seemed that eternal damnation was about to strike again.
