Everyone inside and outside Blackwater Town looked up at the thick black clouds in the sky.
Especially the giants in golden armor, their spiritual consciousness surged, and someone immediately said something inappropriate:
"The master of Black Water Temple is making a breakthrough. Sir, are we going to take advantage of him and capture him?"
After saying this, the rest of the people, including the City God, all looked at the ghost and god who had spoken.
There was no need for the golden armored city god to say anything, someone immediately sneered and said: "Take advantage of the situation? If you think you can, you can attack it on your own. If it succeeds, we will definitely not compete with you for this credit."
When the person who made the sound heard it, the words in his mouth suddenly stopped, but then he snorted coldly:
"There are nine people on our side. Even if the master of the Black Water Monastery really succeeds in breaking through and becomes the sixth grade, Shangguan was also a sixth-grade Taoist priest at the beginning. Now he has the blessing of dragon energy, how can he be invincible!"
None of the other seventh-grade ghosts and gods responded to each other, but just sneered one after another.
Because everyone understood that the guy who spoke was not an honest person, but a villain.
This guy is jealous that the master of the Black Water Monastery is breaking through to the sixth level. Once he breaks through, his life will be extended for a hundred years, his skill will be greatly increased, and he can continue his path.
On the other hand, among these ghosts and gods, even the Golden-armored City God, who is still of the sixth grade, has long since collapsed and died, leaving only a cloud of ghosts, his lifespan is locked, and there is no chance of progress.
At this time, there was a muffled thunderous sound, like the roar of a giant bell:
"How many years have passed, and today I can meet another friend, set up a furnace, and ascend to the sixth level."
This sound came from the mouth of the golden-armored giant. Its face was vague and its voice was indifferent. However, from the words, others could clearly perceive that its words contained obvious emotion and were not malicious.
The seventh-grade ghost and god who was just jealous of the Blackwater Temple Master immediately shut up and did not dare to say any more.
The golden-armored giant looked around at the batch of seventh-grade ghosts and gods he had brought with him, and said in a buzzing voice:
"The first priority is to protect the population of the three towns. The second priority is to capture the alien lizard. The third priority is to capture the master of the Black Water Temple and hold him accountable."
It closed its golden eyes, sat in the air, and continued to explain in a neutral tone:
"Keep this town safe, the secret realm of the Lizard is about to be completely integrated into this place. The popularity of this place is mixed, and it will definitely attract the other eight or even seventh-grade Lizards, and although the will of the Lizard World has dissipated, under the induction of resentment,
Next, the creatures from that foreign land will be extremely hostile to Taoist mortals, and you must never let one enter."
"Yes, Shangguan!" A voice responded immediately, and the other eight ghosts and gods bowed to show they were obeying the order.
The golden-armored giant closed his eyes and spoke again:
"Since Taoist Heishui is capturing and killing the sixth-grade fear lizard, let him fight with him first. If he loses, it will be much easier for someone to capture and kill the other person later. If he wins, this person will be ranked as the sixth-grade terror lizard.
If you are a Taoist and your character is above a certain level, then you and I are not responsible. We can just do our part."
Although the golden-armored giant was originally a sixth-level Taoist priest, his body has died after all, and only a ball of soul is left to survive. The level of his soul is still a sixth-level Taoist priest, but regardless of his strength or his position in the Taoist court,
The level is only equivalent to the fake sixth level.
Even if it now leaves the city under the decree and can use dragon energy, it can only compete with the ordinary sixth-grade ones, and it cannot guarantee victory.
When the seventh-level ghosts and gods saw the golden-armored giant's personal instructions, they all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted one after another:
"Shangguan Yingming!"
The actions of the Black Water Temple Master in chasing and eating the Dinosaurs were clearly seen by them. Especially according to the intelligence report from the county, the Dinosaurs were once quasi-fifth-grade creatures.
This Black Water Temple master can hunt down the opponent and use the opponent's food to ascend the Taoist path. Once he successfully advances, he must be an extraordinary and unusual Taoist priest!
While the ghosts and gods in Qian County were talking a lot, just below them, in Blackwater Town, many Taoist mortals were looking up at the black cloud of insects outside the town, and they were all dumbfounded.
"Is that the Guanzhu?"
"Listening to the words of the masters of ghosts and gods above, there is no doubt that they are the masters of the temple!"
"Didn't I say that today I am going to reward the high-ranking Taoists for their merits? How come I have become the master of the temple and he is about to make a breakthrough?"
Chirping discussions resounded everywhere in Blackwater Town where there were people.
There were many people looking at the earth-shaking changes in the outside world and the appearance of the dinosaur lizard just now, with anxious looks on their faces. Fortunately, a group of giants in golden armor were sitting above them, and the knowledgeable old Taoist boy stopped by.
After the explanation, many people also recognized the ghosts and gods of Qianjun, and their minds were a little more at ease.
Among them, it is next to the stone house that Yu Lie used to rent.
A pretty figure was leaning on the eaves next door, looking at the black cloud insects high in the sky.
However, unlike the other people in the town, who looked either excited or frightened, she looked quite lazy, looking around and yawning, as if she had just finished the work.
This person is Yu Lie's landlady.
The landlady glanced at the swarm of black cloud insects for a few times, and then glanced at the crowd of Qianjun ghosts and gods above her head. Then she changed into a more comfortable position and lay on the eaves, which highlighted her graceful figure, and her waist was corseted and her chest was enlarged.
"You guys know each other." The landlady also closed her eyes and muttered to herself as if she was talking in her sleep:
"But I didn't expect that this old guy would play such a big game! There are six-level creatures hidden directly in the secret realm. Wait, look at the fearful looks of those ghosts and gods. Isn't that big lizard not only a sixth-level creature?"
The landlady suddenly opened her eyes again, carefully looked at the insect swarm in the sky, and said to herself:
"Probably yes, no wonder this old guy wants to trick me into the town, lock me up, and not let her out easily..."
Yu Lie's initial guess was wrong. The landlady next door to him was not just a middle-rank Taoist boy, nor even a high-ranking Taoist boy or an eighth-level Taoist disciple as he secretly guessed later.
This woman "has an affair" with the master of Blackwater Temple, and is most likely a seventh-grade Taoist official, or even more than that.
outside world.
Yu Lie and She Shuangbai stood still and watched with their own eyes as the Master of the Black Water Temple cut off and captured the sixth-grade Terror Lizard like a chicken and a dog, and then wrapped it into a swarm of insects to eat.
The expressions of the two of them were not to mention shocked.
Among them, the rest of them were not only shocked, but also felt overjoyed in their hearts:
"This old guy, no, old sir! It turns out that his strength is so strong. From this point of view, it is really possible for him to break through to the sixth level Taoist priest!"
If it weren't for She Shuangbai beside him and a group of ghosts and gods from Qian County in the distance, Yu Lie would almost laugh out loud and beam with joy.
Although he has been expelled from the master's sect by the Master of Blackwater Temple, he can still stick to him because he is shameless and shameless.
Moreover, judging from the situation at the time of the conferment, it is obvious that the Master of Blackwater Monastery has something in his heart, and there is still something left in his mind.
And most importantly, Yu Lie thought about the actions of the Blackwater Temple Master "cut off the dragon's feet and chewed the dragon's meat" just now, his eyes flickered, and he realized that the reason why the other party expelled him in the first place was self-defeating.
He muttered in his heart:
"You said I peeled off the skin too harshly, but you didn't even look at yourself. In order to get promoted, you even turned your spine into a Gu worm, and you pulled it out on the spot. It was stained with blood."
In addition to the astonishment of the remaining two people, there were also waves of exclamations from all around.
The master of the Black Water Monastery captured and killed the sixth-grade Terror Lizard at high altitude, refining the opponent blatantly, and could be faintly seen for hundreds of miles around.
Therefore, when the other high-ranking Taoist boys who hid in the mountains and forests saw the lizard being captured, they came out again or ran back.
Someone murmured: "Is the Master of Black Water Temple so powerful?"
"Nonsense, if he is not powerful, he can kill the mayor and others like a chicken?"
The two people talking were obviously not the high-ranking Taoist boys from Blackwater Town, but from the two towns next door, and their tone of voice was somewhat panicked when they spoke.
Some of the other high-ranking Taoist boys from Heishui Town couldn't help but burst out laughing and praised: "The temple master is always strong and mighty!"
Amid the discussion, She Shuangbai next to Yu Lie looked up at the sky, her mind swaying and her eyes moving.
The other party couldn't help but whisper: "People who practice Taoism should do this."
Yu Lie was in a state of surprise. He didn't quite hear what the other party said, so he subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
She Shuangbai narrowed her eyes slightly, gathered her thoughts, and just replied in a deep voice: "Nothing, I was just shocked and admired by the action of the viewer slaying the dragon and eating meat."
Yu Lie recalled what the other party had just said. He glanced at the other party, nodded in approval, chuckled, and almost said, "I can take his place instead."
Fortunately, Yu Lie endured it. Although the old gentleman treated him well, he had to remember the principle that misfortune comes from the mouth.
Inside and outside Blackwater Town.
The gods and ghosts were silent, the townspeople were frightened, and the Taoist boys were shaken.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Master of Blackwater Temple hid in the black cloud-like swarm of insects and continued to transform by eating.
This process continued from day to evening, and the sound of gnawing in the sky not only did not stop, but became louder and louder.
Almost all the high-ranking Taoist boys who were able to escape finally gathered under the Black Water Cliff, waiting for the results of the insect swarm in the black cloud.
At the same time, the changes in the Heihe River Basin also began to slow down. Although rumbling sounds continued to be heard from the depths of the earth, the surface was no longer cracking and protruding.
After most of the day, Yu Lie and others stood at the foot of the Black Water Cliff. Looking up, they saw a vast wilderness, which made them feel extremely unfamiliar.
The Blackwater River itself has expanded from the original eighty to ninety feet wide to four to five hundred feet in one breath, which has doubled several times.
Sharp and inhuman roars were heard from time to time within hundreds of miles, and there were also tall scaly things faintly swimming in the jungle near Blackwater Cliff.
Fortunately, I don't know whether these lizards are also intelligent and are waiting for the Blackwater Temple Master to advance, or because there is a Qianjun god sitting on the Blackwater Cliff, or both.
No eighth-grade Terror Lizard dared to enter the surroundings of Blackwater Cliff. As for the Terror Lizards below eighth grade who entered, they were directly dealt with by the higher-ranking Taoist boys.
After the strange-looking dinosaur lizard was hunted, the Taoist boys removed the scales, cut the flesh, and peeled the skin. They prepared dried medicinal materials and stored them.
Others raised a bonfire and began to roast the dinosaur lizards, savoring the taste of this exotic creature.
The aroma of barbecue gradually drifted into the venue, making everyone who was waiting anxiously feel hungry.
Because Yu Lie and She Shuangbai were close to the river and far away from the jungle, it was not their turn to take action, so they did not hunt the Dinosaur.
But Yu Lie had nothing to do, so he took out the tools he used to fish for black snake fish, sat by the expanded Blackwater River, and started doing his old job.
There are aquatic dinosaur lizards in the Black River. After a while, he caught a human-sized dinosaur lizard and dissected it on the cliff by himself. He also grilled meat and tasted the taste of this creature.
The smell of blood and fireworks rose near Heishui Cliff, and the expressions of many Taoist boys became much more comfortable, as they had escaped from the thrill of the burial ceremony.
When dusk was about to cover the Heihe River Basin, the gods of Qianjun and the Taoist boys of Blackwater, without exception, all raised their heads and looked at the black clouds surging in the sky.
At this time, the loud gnawing sound suddenly stopped.
Instead, there was the sound of gasping for breath coming from the black clouds again.
In the eyes of everyone who were either calm, expecting, or flickering, the black cloud finally cracked open like a cocoon, revealing the scene inside.
At this time, everyone opened their eyes wide, wanting to see what was going on inside immediately.
Buzz!
I saw streaks of black light suddenly pouring out from the cracks of the black cloud insect swarm, hovering outside, and then the black cloud insect swarm a mile or two away, like ice melting away and snow being released, layers of melted, were absorbed and poured in
in the cracks.
The black cloud insect swarm dissipated on its own.
Seeing this scene, Yu Lie and other Taoist boys from Heishui Town all showed joy: "It's done!?"
The eyes of the gods in Qianjun also flickered, and the golden-armored giant among them suddenly stood up.
It stood in the sky above the Dragon Qi Formation, looking far away towards where the black clouds were, bowing and saluting:
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for walking on the great road, setting up a furnace and setting up a cauldron, and now entering the sixth rank!"
Hearing the voice of the Qianjun City God, Yu Lie's heart suddenly froze and he was filled with joy.
After the golden-armored giant congratulated him, he took the initiative to say:
"Fellow Taoist, there are quite a lot of changes in the Heihe River Basin. I would like to ask you to follow me back to the county to describe it. It will also be convenient for you to register, wash away your grievances, and reward your merits. I have the dragon spirit as a witness.
My fellow Taoist has now reached the sixth rank, so he will not be subject to unwarranted criticism."
Hearing this, the other eight ghosts and gods around him, especially the ghost and god who had made unkind remarks out of jealousy earlier, all looked sideways.
Although the golden-armored giant's words were serious, the meaning behind his words was that he not only did not regard the Master of Black Water Monastery as an accomplice, but was actually showing his kindness to him.
Some ghosts and gods muttered to themselves: "No wonder this guy can become the city god of a county."
A chuckle also sounded high in the air, its voice sounded old:
"Fellow Taoists, thank you for watching the ceremony. It's been a long wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge insect swarm in the sky completely disappeared.
Half of the huge flesh and blood skeleton was exposed, and a Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the ferocious skull. Beside him were black worms squirming, worming their way from the skeleton into his sleeves.
Just now, it was this man who waved his sleeves and put the huge black cloud insect swarm into his sleeve pocket.
This person is clearly the master of Black Water Temple!
It's just that the current Master of Black Water Temple has a mysterious temperament and his white hair has turned black. He is completely different from the old man he once was.
In just half a day, he rejuvenated, becoming dozens or hundreds of years younger in one breath, and returned to his middle-aged appearance. On his body, only his voice, appearance and eyes were still old, with heavy traces of time remaining.
The Master of the Black Water Monastery reappeared, as if his transformation had been completed. He no longer had the madness and wantonness he had when he was eating dinosaur lizards, but his demeanor was calm and he looked like a high-ranking person.
The Master of Blackwater Temple looked down at the crowd, and after nodding towards the golden-armored giant, he asked:
"This respected god, the Taoist court once withheld Pindao's qualification to ascend to the immortal path for ridiculous reasons because of Pindao's father and teacher, which caused Pindao to be in vain until now. Today, Pindao does not rely on the dragon's energy, nor does he rely on the Taoist court. He takes it for himself.
, log in to the sixth level and lay down the foundation, can you be considered a true Taoist?"
The golden-armored giant frowned slightly. He didn't know what Blackwater Temple Master meant, but he still shouted in a deep voice:
"My fellow Taoist has been planning for sixty years, eating in exotic places, and building the foundation alone. He is naturally a true Taoist."
The master of Black Water Temple smiled when he heard this, but his face gradually showed a cold look.
He leaned slightly and asked again:
"In this case, what qualifications does the Taoist court in the mouth of Zunshen have to discuss the merits of poor Taoism, the rewards of poor Taoism, and the punishment of poor Taoism?"
When all the ghosts and gods in Qian County heard the words of the Master of Blackwater Temple, their pupils shrank, and the golden-armored giant also looked stunned.
When the leader of Blackwater Temple saw the stunned expressions of everyone, he burst into laughter and chanted:
"Dragon energy and Taoist court have nothing to do with me!"
In an instant, the ghosts and gods above Blackwater Town were shocked and shocked:
"Taoist thief! This person is really a Taoist thief!"
Even Yu Lie, who was originally surprised by the success of the Black Water Monastery, froze when he heard the other party's words, and felt a chill in his heart.
