Chapter 408 Still a mortal!

The Taotie is a strange beast from ancient times. According to legend, it has the body of a sheep and human hands, has eyes under its armpits, and is greedy and gluttonous in nature.
It is different from some mythological stories that compare this monster to one of the nine sons of the dragon.
According to the more ancient classics, Taotie is a kind of beast that lived in the mythical era of ancient times.
It is recorded in the classics that this race is greedy and gluttonous, and their desires are never satisfied. Therefore, they were expelled long ago and are regarded by the world as the embodiment of greed.
But I didn't expect... this strange beast Taotie, which was obviously only recorded in ancient books and only appeared in fragments of myths and legends, would now appear alive at the foot of Zhenwu Peak!
Master Qingxu Temple sighed in his heart when he heard the roar of the true disciples.
He knew that Zhenwu Peak would never be pure again...
Sure enough, within a few minutes of the Taoist priests arriving at the scene, a helicopter from nearby Zhenwu City had already flown over.
On the road outside the mountain, police cars and medical vehicles were also arriving one after another, the formation was alarming.
With the help of soldiers, several experts in chemical protective suits got off the ladder of the helicopter and approached Taotie's body.
"Incredible! Such a structure is simply a miracle of nature!"
"The ancients never deceived me!"
An expert squatted down to look at Taotie and spoke softly.
The video equipment on his shoulder immediately recorded Taotie's appearance and sent it back to the large computer in Jiankang City for analysis.
Someone from the technical department quietly raised concerns: "Will such a creature carry deadly germs on its body?"
"Well... of course this possibility cannot be ruled out, so I am sealing off the scene and preparing to take away the surrounding animals and plants for inspection."
"However, judging from the current test report, there is no pollution around and everything is normal."
The expert heard the concerns conveyed by his superiors. While nodding slightly, he couldn't help but use a blood needle to draw some blood from Taotie's shoulder.
He took out a tool and collected some of the saliva from the corners of Taotie's mouth and teeth.
Then, without waiting for others to move Taotie's body, he first used the tools on the helicopter to study it.
Master Qingxu Temple and his disciples did not suffer much injustice. After the investigation team arrived, they released their control and only asked them to undergo a physical examination before releasing them back to Zhenwu Temple.
Of course, it is inevitable that they will need to accept inquiries from many professionals next.
After all, as the investigation process gradually deepened, Taotie's information was also found by the experts in the investigation team and they were matched with the corpse one by one!
So some investigators began to use their imaginations and make bold guesses.
This Zhenwu Peak is not simple! The ancient beast Taotie actually appeared!
Or the ancient beast Taotie who was beaten to death by extraordinary power!
Perhaps as previously speculated, there really are peerless masters like the Sword Immortal Sect in Zhenwu Peak?
By the way, doesn’t Zhenwu Temple always have an ancestor?
Could it be that he did it?
Even if it wasn't him, with his experience, he should know something about it, right?
Thinking of this, the young members of the investigation team ran to Zhenwu Peak one by one and searched everywhere, trying to find the legendary secret realm of Zhenwu Peak.
It was just a busy night, except for the cave of Zhenwuguan ancestors that had been known to the investigation team for a long time.
There is nothing new discovered.
So all the fingers were pointed at the ancestors of Zhenwu Temple, and even the big shots in the investigation team expressed their hope that the leader of Qingxu Temple could ask questions on his behalf.
Does this gluttony have anything to do with Zhenwu Temple?
When Master Qingxu received the message, his heart collapsed.
Others don't know, but he still knows about his ancestors.
He definitely has the cultivation level, and he looks absolutely immortal, which makes people who seek immortality bow their heads and worship him.
But he still hasn't entered the Tao. Although he is still healthy at a hundred years old and can walk and jump, his energy and blood have long since begun to decline, and he is no longer as good as an ordinary adult.
Not to mention flying to the sky, escaping to the earth, and slaying demons.
It's just that Taotie's corpse has just been transported from the foot of the mountain. Master Qingxu knows that it will be impossible if he doesn't invite the ancestors to come out.
No one believed what he said!
He sighed and walked towards the back mountain.
Behind Master Qingxu, the attention of many members of the investigation team gathered at this time.
At the same time, the mastermind behind this incident, the Qingyun Sword Immortal transformed by Xiao Yu, also relied on his invisibility skills to silently follow Master Qingxu.
Xiao Yu killed several wild boars and caught several venomous snakes at the foot of Zhenwu Peak.
Then, using these things as materials, he used the Undead Formation Formation to create a gluttonous creature, and staged the great show just now.
The purpose, of course, is to see if I can attract the hidden masters from Zhenwu Peak to come out.
It's a pity that neither the roar of Long Wei nor the light of his own sword attracted any experts.
Instead, it was the investigation team who came first and took Taotie's body away.
Xiao Yu is not afraid of what the other party will find out in the investigation.
He arranged an undead purification circle in Taotie's body. With a single thought, he could make it, an undead creature that lacks soul fire and cannot move, be wiped out in ashes.
This gluttonous meal is originally made of wild boar, and its saliva contains snake venom.
Even if a part of it is left behind, no matter how much research the institute has, they won't be able to find anything useful.
Hmm... maybe it's possible to find out through research that Taotie is actually the ancestor of wild boars?
Tsk, thinking about it this way, I have also made a contribution to the academic world. This argument alone can produce many academic papers, right?
When Xiao Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt a wave of coldness coming over him, causing him to immediately gather extraordinary aura between his brows and restore himself to alert state.
However, after following Master Qingxu all the way, they finally arrived outside a naturally formed cave in the mountain.
Master Qingxu bowed at the entrance of the cave and was about to go in when he saw a Taoist priest who was slightly fat and wearing a simple blue robe walking out.
This Taoist priest looks a bit like Lu Zhishen in the TV series, and he looks about forty or fifty years old.
But Qingxu Monastery Master revealed his true age when he called him "Master"... He was actually an old man who was almost eighty years old!
“It’s so well maintained! You can tell from the first glance that it’s a person with real skills!”
Several investigators whispered when they saw the master.
Xiao Yu saw it with his own eyes, but was not surprised.
He has known for a long time that these Qi-training monks, if they are talented, can indeed build a good body without relying on extraordinary potions.
Just like those weapons masters in Lilliput who are not extraordinary, they are almost at this level.
In fact, there is such a gifted person in the land of cherry blossoms, and he is also an old swordsman who likes to show his face in the mass media.
He is almost sixty or seventy years old this year, but he looks no more than forty years old, and he is as energetic as a man in his prime.
However, without the help of extraordinary medicine, in the real world environment, the realm they can reach will stop there.
The way forward...has been cut off!
These practitioners are still mortals!
But they are all mortals, so naturally they don't get Xiao Yu's care.
What Xiao Yu cares about most now is that cold and abnormal feeling!
Xiao Yu has already determined that the location of the abnormal induction is in this cave!
Although it is so subtle that you have to be within a hundred meters to detect it, this kind of sensing is absolutely unmistakable!
Just when Xiao Yu thought for a moment and planned to let the little griffon go in to take a peek.
Finally, with the sound of light footsteps, he appeared at the entrance of the cave.
An old Taoist priest with white hair and a childlike face, a fairy-like spirit and a Taoist spirit, slowly walked out holding the thing that exuded a cold aura that Xiao Yu cared about. Under the bows of Master Qingxu and his master, he walked out slowly.
"Ancestor!"
Master Qingxu Temple immediately bowed to the old Taoist priest.
Although the investigators had seen the picture of the old Taoist priest in the documents, now that they saw it again, they still felt that the old Taoist priest was so otherworldly.
Not like ordinary people!
However... in Xiao Yu's eyes, this seasoned Taoist's attractive aura was probably due to the blessing of external objects.
Chapter completed!
