Chapter Six: The Unluckiest Ancestor Xuemei (Second Update)
Zhong Shan and his group of twelve people went north to Ice God Palace.
Although there are still two years until the sacrifice ceremony, and it only takes one year to reach the far north, Zhongshan still has not stopped all the way. After all, many things must be done sooner rather than later. Who can guarantee that something special will not happen along the way?
?
Sure enough, just four months after leaving Da'ao, everyone heard some interesting information while resting in a city.
It was a fairy city, and Zhong Shan and his party temporarily settled in a restaurant.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard someone say: "I heard that Patriarch Xuemei has left!"
"Yes, all these years, thanks to Ancestor Xuemei, otherwise, our city would have long been..., alas!" Another person sighed.
"Ancestor Xuemei?" Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows slightly.
I haven’t heard this name for a long time. Ancestor Xuemei, wasn’t he the ancestor who snatched the Qiankun Ding and the Demon Summoning Banner in the Fengzhong Territory and Nuwa Realm? He also possesses the eighth magical power in the world, Plum Blossom Eyes, that is,
Copy magical powers.
Unfortunately, it was Zhong Shan who we met back then. As soon as Zhong Shan's fierce pupils opened, Xuemei ancestor not only couldn't copy it, but also absorbed all the blue light. As a result, the dignified ancestor was even more unlucky to lose to him.
This great immortal.
Later, there was a dispute among the heroes, and Xuemei Ancestor left sadly and disappeared.
Zhong Shan did not step forward to inquire, because from the tone of these guests, it was obvious that Patriarch Xuemei was extremely famous here.
When they arrived at a courtyard, someone from the restaurant naturally came to greet them. The Zhongshan group was so popular that they even attracted the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, please send this to the City Lord's Mansion and ask your City Lord to come here!" Zhong Shan calmly took out a wooden box and said.
Shopkeeper: "…………?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, what kind of tone is this? Let you City Lord come here? Even if you have status, you are not so exaggerated. Who is the City Lord? Can you come and go at a moment's notice?
The shopkeeper regretted greeting this group of people, but when he lowered his head and saw the wooden box, the shopkeeper seemed to be under a restraining spell.
"Immortal tree?" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly let out a greedy green light.
Immortal wood is a treasure that is coveted by wood cultivators. Even immortals would be jealous of it. A small piece of Immortal wood can be used to make a top-notch heavenly artifact.
In front of you, the size of your palm, this, this can be used to build a great immortal weapon. Baby!
But this fairy wood is just a box, a box?
The shopkeeper is now in the late Nascent Soul stage. This kind of treasure is a legendary existence. It actually appeared in front of him. He was shocked and realized that the group of people in front of him were not just noble people.
The boxes containing treasures are all made of immortal wood. What could be inside?
"Tell him, I just want to ask him something. This is my reward. Let him come quickly!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Yes, yes!" the shopkeeper said with great respect.
Killing people to seize treasures? The shopkeeper also wants to, but the shopkeeper still has good eyesight. This group of people don't even look down on the city lord, they just grab the gun if they want to die.
The shopkeeper went to the city lord's mansion in person.
Although there was no pass along the way, as long as the box was shown at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, someone would naturally go and report it.
In the city lord's mansion, a man in black robe looked at the small box in front of him. The shopkeeper stood aside.
"What did that person say?" the black-robed city lord said without opening the box.
"He said he just wanted to ask you something. This is his reward. He asked you to go quickly!" the shopkeeper said immediately.
The city lord raised his eyebrows, looked at the box and said solemnly: "What a loud tone. Humph!"
Obviously, the black-robed city lord was uncomfortable with other people's commanding tone.
"City Lord, why don't you open it and see what those people mean?" said a subordinate on the side.
"Yes!" The city lord nodded.
Gently open the box. As soon as the box is opened, a ray of glow emerges from the inside. At the same time, the fragrant aroma suddenly fills the room. Almost everyone can't help but take a deep breath, and then feel comfortable all over the body. The shopkeeper even feels like he has a breakthrough in an instant.
There is only one pill in the box, which is colorful and dazzling.
"Five Color Good Fortune Pill? Ancient Immortal Pill?" a subordinate exclaimed.
"One pill can be exchanged for a city's ancient elixir?" Another person exclaimed.
"Pa!" The city lord immediately closed the lid.
The city lord's scalp felt numb. At the same time, he was also afraid of Zhong Shan and his entourage in the restaurant. What kind of person does it take to throw the ancient elixir casually?
"Shopkeeper Li, lead the way!" the city lord said immediately.
Putting away the box, the city lord felt no joy at all, but only a sense of fear. After all, this was just a small city in the Celestial Empire, and he, the highest level of cultivation, was just an earthly immortal. The pressure of this ancient elixir was too great.
When the city lord rushed to the restaurant, Zhong Shan and his party had just tasted the city's specialties and made tea and were waiting.
"The Lord of Black City, Wang Zhengqing, has met all of you seniors!" Lord Wang said respectfully.
Wang Zhengqing did not put on any airs, because he knew that some airs could not be put on.
"It's okay, sit down, I just want to ask you something!" Zhong Shan said.
"Okay!" City Lord Wang carefully sat down on the side.
"I heard just now that you had an ancestor Xuemei here before?" Zhong Shan asked.
Zhong Shan understands that asking ordinary people about certain things is likely to be false information, and it is more accurate to ask people in power.
"Ancestor Xuemei? How can our city have the right to trouble him? He protected us for a while, but he left recently!" said the King of City Lord.
"Oh? Tell me in detail!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, speaking of which, Patriarch Xuemei has always been well-known in the surrounding areas. I heard that he was a powerful fortune teller, but he was very cold in the past. If you want to find him to calculate things, you have to pay a huge price. But...
A hundred years ago, it seems that after going to the Fengzhong territory, things were different when I came back!" said the King of City Lord.
"It's different? Why is it different?" Zhong Shan asked.
"He became extremely unlucky, with bad luck and misfortunes happening all over the place. He heard that he was seriously injured and returned. He was passing by a sea area. When two sects were fighting, he didn't know what he said. The two sects kept their grudges unclear, and together
Attacking Xuemei Patriarch, Xuemei Patriarch killed the elites of two sects in a fit of anger, but also attracted the ancestors behind the two sects to pursue Xuemei Patriarch for a long time. Anyway, I don’t know how it happened. Originally
Two ancestors were chasing him, and three years later, six ancestors were chasing him. He narrowly escaped death all the way back, but when he returned to his dojo, he found that his dojo had been razed to the ground."
"Ancestor Xuemei's misfortune has not ended yet. When he just restored the dojo, a meteor shower fell from the sky, destroying all his efforts, and six ancestors also chased him to his dojo. As a result, Mr. Xuemei
The ancestor’s body was completely destroyed, and he could only resurrect his soul through his corpse.”
Beside Zhong Shan, all the courtiers looked at Zhong Shan unconsciously.
"Unfortunately, what a coincidence, that corpse was the father of another ancestor. Naturally, the ancestor was unwilling and pursued him again. In the end, he had no choice but to drag his injured soul to take over the body again. Alas, no one could
Without his misfortune, the person he took over was originally just a mortal, but that mortal was the reincarnation of the ancestor's father. In this way, it was equivalent to killing the soul of the ancestor's father. You can imagine the misfortune of Xuemei's ancestor.
I know!" City Lord Wang sighed.
This is the first time that City Lord Wang has seen such an unlucky person.
"It was only by reviving the corpse that I could save my life. Unfortunately, the cultivation of the ancestor immortal was gone forever. Even now, he is still just an ancient immortal." City Lord Wang said.
"Then he is so unlucky!" Zhong Shan's face twitched.
Although he was once an enemy, Zhong Shan was still shocked by his bad luck. Absorbing all the blue light from the vicious eyes, the effect turned out to be so shocking.
"Who says it's not the case? After Xuemei ancestor resurrected his body again, his bad luck seems to have not ended yet. Therefore, he can only continue to rely on 'accumulating Yin De' to slowly resolve his bad luck. In these years, he has been running around and doing good deeds.
, our dynasty was relatively weak, and when the surrounding armies came to attack, he made many maneuvers and protected hundreds of millions of people in our dynasty." said the King of City Lord.
"Ancestor Xuemei has really changed as a person!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"There was nothing he could do. Over the past hundreds of years, he had only continued to do good deeds and accumulated evil deeds, and he had slowly suppressed his bad luck. Hearing that one year, Patriarch Xuemei gave away several of his treasures to do good deeds, and he felt unhappy.
, stopped continuing to accumulate evil virtues, and as a result, in the second year, more than a dozen enemies came to visit, and they had to escape again. They were plagued by bad luck, so they could only continue to accumulate evil virtues!" said City Lord Wang.
"It's really frustrating for a person to be unlucky for hundreds of years in a row!" Dao Rentu said from the side.
"It's not just frustrating. If it were me, I would even want to die!" Jin Peng shook his head and said.
"Although I am forced to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it is still a good deed after all!" Zhong Shan said with a strange smile.
"Yes, our court is the beneficiary. I really hope there are more people like this! Otherwise, this disaster in our court will not be so difficult." The king of the city nodded and said.
"oh?"
"Ancestor Xuemei suddenly left, and the surrounding dynasties were ready to attack again, so now the people are looking forward to Ancestor Xuemei coming back soon!"
"Ancestor Xuemei left? Why?"
"I heard that I mentioned to a prince that Patriarch Xuemei is going to attend two grand events, and it may take two or three years to come back!" City Lord Wang said.
"Two grand events?" Zhong Shan became solemn.
"Yes, first of all, it's like Zhuangzi's sermon, and secondly, it's like the Ice God Palace in the far north." City Lord Wang said.
"Ice God Palace?" Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, but I heard that he had participated in some grand gathering of the Ice God Palace before, and two months later, Zhuangzi gave a sermon. It seemed that he was also looking for a way to relieve his own misfortune. It should be
After Zhuangzi preached, he went to the Ice God Palace." City Lord Wang said truthfully.
At the same time, Zhong Shan flipped his hand and an invitation appeared on his finger.
The cover of the invitation has the four words "Zhuang Zhou Xiaomeng". Inside, there is a letter inviting Zhong Shan to come. It comes from Yilan Que.
Yilanque, a person who recalled his family in the underworld of the Small Thousand World, once worked with Zhong Shan to deal with the Heavenly Family in the underworld. His wisdom was amazing, and he even conquered the mythical beast Kunpeng in the Small Thousand World. At the opening of the sky, the heroes targeted Da'ao, and Yilanque implored
The ancestor of the Yi family, Yi Siqi, helped Da'ei, and Yi Siqi was a disciple of Zhuangzi.
Therefore, Zhongshan still owes Yi Lanque a favor.
However, there was no room for distraction during this trip to the far north, so Zhong Shan did not go to Zhuangzi Taoist Temple.
But now it seems that everything is still too late. Zhuangzi gave a sermon? Zhongshan became interested.
