There is more than one sect in Kunlun Continent that uses bamboo as its utensils. There are even more monks who plant bamboo for gardens and cut bamboo for pens. Even Deng Feibao cannot count them all.
But looking at today's world, there is a family whose disciples almost all hold bamboo sticks, and that is Taiyi Sect, one of the three immortal talents of Xuanmen.
In the past, the three talents stood together in the world, with Shangjing stationed in the city of heaven, Chongxuan holding the earth's lungs, Taiyimen did not have a cave gate, and claimed to use the human world as its dojo, and its disciples appeared in the market and disappeared in the world of mortals.
Unlike the Four Immortals of Shangjing Sect, who entered the world in large numbers and had many disciples and disciples, most of the Taiyi disciples haunted the countryside, often showing themselves as traveling doctors, wandering Taoists, and charlatans, and did not seek glory.
, do not seek wealth and honor, live in asceticism, have no fixed place to live, and are always looking for relief.
Even though Taiyi Sect is one of the three immortal talents of Xuanmen, it is still full of mysteries to fellow immortal cultivators.
But one thing we all know is that the Taiyi Sect has no good impression of evil spirits. They eat blood, ghosts and gods, and cause evil spirits, so they are often punished by the Taiyi Sect.
As far as Deng Feibao knew, ten years ago a great monster ran out from the depths of the East Shengdu earthquake. It had the body of an ox and the appearance of a one-eyed monster. Wherever it appeared, water dried up and grass died. Diseases were prevalent, and it once came to the densely populated Bear Country.
Counties wreaked havoc.
At that time, the world was in chaos, and even the four immortals of Shangjing Sect were busy dealing with disasters and demons elsewhere, and had no time to deal with such demons. In addition, the whereabouts of the big demon was elusive, and it was finally rumored that several experts from the Taiyi Sect gathered from various places to come.
Come, let's fight off the big monster together and save many lives.
Someone from the Rising Sun Sect witnessed the fighting scene. Three of the Taiyi disciples waved their bamboo sticks together, and the bamboo leaves circled in the sky, like a blue dragon descending from the sky. They severely damaged the big monster with a body of an ox and one eyes, and also cut a hill to the ground.
.
Deng Feibao remembered that the leader had told him that the Shangjing Sect was always exposed in front of others, and everyone in the Four Immortals knew about it. No matter how high their cultivation level and magic power were, they would still be able to find ways to deal with them.
But when facing the Taiyi Sect members who are accustomed to hiding, we must be more careful and vigilant. Although they are not monks worshiped by the Xiong Court, the leader is not sure of the Taiyi Sect’s intentions. In the past, the Rising Sun Sect has taken the initiative to
They expressed their sincere friendship and hoped to win over the masters of Taiyi Sect, but nothing happened.
The leader reminded Deng Feibao that the Taiyi Sect is by no means the inheritance of the Immortal Way that lives in seclusion in the mountains. The Taiyi Sect’s people may be involved in the secular world far deeper than imagined. They may not agree with the Rising Sun Sect’s plan to revive Tianxia. Maybe in the future
To confront them.
It's just that Deng Feibao is responsible for lurking in Qianji Pavilion and is responsible for ingenious creation. He has no dealings with Taiyi Sect in the past, so naturally he doesn't take this matter to heart.
But at this moment, seeing the mottled and fine bamboo leaf sharp marks on the giant frog's body, Deng Feibao had to assume the worst-the Taiyi Sect was the mastermind behind Tao Heling's rescue and the hidden force of Qian Ji Ling Mo!
Deng Feibao felt cold in his heart. If the Taiyi Sect really got involved, the situation might be beyond his control. He might have planned to force Tao Hongjiu to death and plot to seize Qianji Pavilion, and the Taiyi Sect members might have already discovered it.
Thinking about it this way, by throwing these two monster corpses outside the city gate, could they be hinting at something? To show the depth of their magic power? Or to show that Deng Feibao is nothing more than a dead fish and a dead frog, and it would be easy for them to kill him?
"Pavilion Master Deng?" The county magistrate on the side covered his nose and asked in a low voice, enduring the strong stench: "Can you see the clues?"
"Let me see more." Deng Feibao's mind became more and more confused. First, the storyteller and the clay worker were entrusted with dreams, implying that the other party had already understood his intention of searching for Qianji Lingju, thereby disturbing the market news.
Now that two monster corpses are added to the mix, is it possible that...these monsters were sent by the leader to support him, but they were intercepted and killed by the Taiyi disciples on the way? Is this a way to show off and prevent the help of the divine cult from coming to Wenlu County?
If this is really the case, then Deng Feibao and his men alone will not be able to recover the Thousand Spirits Moment right now.
Just when Deng Feibao was about to give up and was about to secretly contact the leader for help, he glanced at the crowd of onlookers in the distance and vaguely saw a man holding a staff turning and leaving.
For some reason, Deng Feibao immediately felt a subtle feeling. He did not dare to ignore it and only left one sentence to the county magistrate: "I will come back as soon as I go!"
Immediately, Deng Feibao chased in the direction where the man holding the stick left, and his subordinates hurriedly followed. A group of people climbed up and down the walls, lifting up and down, ignoring the astonishment of the people watching on the left and right, intending to catch up with the man holding the stick.
However, the opponent's pace was neither fast nor slow, but his movement was as fast and unpredictable as a ghost. The man holding the staff shuttled through the intricate streets and alleys in the south of the city. Sometimes he would disappear as soon as he turned around, but when he turned around, he would see him appear at another corner.
body.
Deng Feibao had only a few people with him temporarily, so when he saw the figure of the man holding the staff, he immediately split up and chased after him. When Deng Feibao came to his senses, he found that he was alone, with no other helpers around him.
"Not good." Deng Feibao immediately understood that his situation was not safe and he might have fallen into the opponent's scheme. He immediately jumped up and stood on the rooftop to look down.
However, this low-rise house in the south of the city is either a shed built by the people privately, or a hanging rope for drying clothes, making the alleys full of cover, and it is impossible to see anyone on the ground from a high place.
.
When Deng Feibao was anxious, he happened to touch the key Yuan Dan in his arms, and immediately took out the magic sensor. His vision seemed to suddenly expand, piercing through the layers of wall obstacles, and he clearly saw a figure in the lake not far away, with thousands of wits and movements like the dark night.
The candlelight in the center is particularly bright and dazzling.
"Got you!"
Deng Feibao had no time to pay attention to other subordinates, so he jumped up, took out an exquisite repeating crossbow, and quickly approached the target direction.
…
Chang Liezi stood on the edge of an open channel, holding a bamboo stick and tapping the end gently on the water. He silently recited sutras and mantras, sensing the physical properties of the water. Several women not far away who were washing clothes looked at him with strange expressions.
"It's strange, it's not here either." Chang Liezi was a little confused after confirming that there was no strange poison in the water.
Because the two monsters blocked him last night, he had no time to pursue the last monster. And the third monster was carrying a large vat of poison, presumably to poison the water source in Wenlu County.
When Chang Liezi was traveling around the world a few months ago, he happened to encounter a village in which more than 70% of the people were infected with strange diseases. They were all weak and exhausted. At that time, Chang Liezi thought it was a plague epidemic and spent a lot of effort.
Tried to treat it, but had little effect.
Later, Chang Liezi discovered that the river water that the villagers drank every day was dirty and unclean, and it was not ordinary dust and dirt, but poisons that had been deliberately refined and prepared.
For this reason, Chang Liezi personally investigated and finally discovered a group of monsters secretly poisoning the water source. In anger, Chang Liezi rushed forward and killed two of them directly, but allowed the other three to escape.
Chang Liezi deeply hated these monsters and kept chasing them. They had several confrontations on the road. Last night, he killed two more monsters outside Wenlu County, leaving only the last one. Naturally, he wanted to eliminate all evil.
Unfortunately, Wenlu County is densely populated and has taken in many people affected by disasters in recent years. The qi is mixed, making it difficult for Chang Liezi to identify the location of the monster. He can only test whether the water veins in the city have been poisoned.
Just when Chang Liezi was confused, he suddenly felt a wisp of breeze approaching his ears, and there was a message in it:
"If you want to know where the monster is, you might as well follow the wind."
Although the art of transmitting sounds cannot be said to be brilliant, as someone who has been traveling in the countryside for many years, Chang Liezi has always been wary of unprovoked sound transmissions, maybe it was a monster trying to lure him into a trap.
However, this voice message has a hint of purity and righteousness, and it does not seem to be sent by a dirty monster.
"I want to see who it is!" Since he couldn't find the monster for a while, Chang Liezi followed the breeze and walked away, tapping his bamboo stick along the way and secretly lifting his magic power.
Walking through a damp alley, Chang Liezi saw several ordinary people fainting and falling to the ground. It seemed that they had been knocked down by external forces. His heart moved, and he opened a few layers of clothes to dry, and happened to see a man with a fat head, a wide mouth and a beard.
, chanting the incantation softly, the poison in the big vat behind him naturally floated out and got into a well.
"Stop!" Chang Liezi was furious. He passed the bamboo stick forward, suddenly lengthened, and directly hit the monster's chest.
The attack of the bamboo stick was very fierce. After interrupting the spell, the monster felt a sharp shock in its energy and screamed. It was knocked back to its original shape on the spot. It was a big catfish with a black back and white belly, and a mouth as wide as a basin. It was filled with poison.
The large vat also fell to the ground, but fortunately it didn't break.
"You, how did you find me?" The big catfish uttered words, and its whole body was covered with slimy slurry, which was mixed with mud and stirred up, and the surrounding ground became muddy and soft.
"Monsters are causing trouble, and the fishy wind is soaring into the sky. Do you really think you can hide and poison yourself?" Chang Liezi was also a little confused in his heart, but he didn't think much at the moment. He touched the ground with his bamboo stick, and the true energy spread out, turning the mud into solid material.
Just use the magic technique to suppress the monster immediately.
The big catfish is an aquatic monster. Although it can survive out of water, 70% to 80% of its cultivation power is in the waves of the water. Even if it condenses the demon elixir, it will be easily manipulated by human monks if it is not careful on land, not to mention
Or face a powerful Taiyi disciple like Chang Liezi?
Seeing the well next to it, the big catfish jumped hard and was about to jump into it to avoid being killed. A burst of nine-color brilliance suddenly burst out from the well mouth, blocking the big catfish from outside. It fell to the ground with a few clicks.
Seriously injured.
Chang Liezi was startled. The nine-color brilliance just now was clearly someone secretly helping him. He rushed forward and restrained the fish demon with a bamboo stick. He was looking around for someone to help when he sensed a light approaching from above his head.
I hurriedly avoided it and looked up to see a man holding a small melon hammer, smashing it down with the force of breaking rocks and breaking iron. Although it hit an empty space, it made a shallow pit on the ground, causing dust and mud to fly.
"Who?!" Chang Liezi raised his staff to block the opponent's melon hammer and shouted, "Why did you hurt someone for no reason?"
Deng Feibao still had the time to answer. As soon as he saw the big catfish on the ground and the large tank containing poison next to it, he immediately understood that this was a monster sent by the leader to poison him. He could not let Chang Liezi beat him to death.
.
Moreover, Chang Liezi is holding a bamboo stick. He should be the man holding the stick who was secretly watching outside the government office just now. If nothing unexpected happens, this person will have a thousand wits and wisdom! How long will it take for him to be the killer?
The small melon hammer turned and swung away the opponent's bamboo staff. Deng Feibao pulled the crossbow with his other hand, and dozens of steel needle-like crossbows were shot out at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Chang Liezi rolled up his sleeves, and his powerful energy forced the crossbow to miss. Before he could fight back, Deng Feibao pursed his lips and let out a long roar, calling in his subordinates who were scattered everywhere.
"Is there any helper?" Chang Liezi noticed something. He waved his bamboo stick and transformed into hundreds of thousands of bamboo leaves. They rained down like arrows in the narrow alley, intending to kill Deng Feibao and the big catfish together.
Deng Feibao was shocked to realize that the other party had superb cultivation. He immediately raised his energy, covered his whole body with a layer of solid rock color, and blocked all the rain of bamboo leaves and arrows without getting hurt at all. He also protected the big catfish at his feet.
"Gu Pan Qian Zhang Jue?" Chang Liezi paused and asked: "Are you a disciple of Gu Pan Sect? Why are you helping such monsters!"
"Why ask more!" Deng Feibao was also shocked and confused. He showed his skills a little bit, but was actually revealed by the other party. It seems that the Taiyi Sect should not be underestimated. The only way to resolve the battle as soon as possible is the best way.
After a few breaths of delay, a group of subordinates heard the roar and rushed over. A few of them used talismans and magic weapons to hit Chang Liezi, while the rest drew their swords with their swords wide open. They were all swordsmen and warriors.
Chang Liezi glanced at him and waved hundreds of thousands of stick shadows from the bamboo stick in his hand, as if a bamboo forest suddenly grew up in the land of Chi Chi, blocking all surrounding attacks, which showed that his cultivation had a deep foundation.
But Deng Feibao was not helpless. He shook out a gold slip from his sleeves, which was engraved with mysterious talismans and seals. As he hurriedly chanted the incantation, the gold slip gradually melted into gold water and covered the index finger of Deng Feibao's right hand.
The surrounding offensive was slightly sparse, and Chang Liezi was about to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, but he saw Deng Feibao stepping forward and approaching Chang Liezi with his right index finger pointed out.
Chang Liezi didn't know what kind of technique the opponent was using, so he simply raised his bamboo stick and stabbed Deng Feibao's golden finger directly. The needles of both sides were facing the wheat awns, and they fired with all their strength.
When it comes to cultivation and magic power, Chang Liezi is indeed better. The bamboo stick in his hand has been trained for a long time, and the knife is constantly crackling, and it will not be cracked by fire. If he exerts more force, even a corner of the hard rock will be broken, let alone the thrust with enough magic power.
.
However, Deng Feibao's golden finger contained indescribable and strange magic power. He gently tapped the bamboo stick, and the golden water quickly climbed up the bamboo stick like a living creature.
Upon seeing this, Chang Liezi suddenly withdrew his bamboo stick, but Jin Shui continued to move and instantly climbed onto his finger.
Then a stinging and heavy feeling came from his arm. Chang Liezi frowned and said: "This is not a technique of the Ancient Pan Sect!"
"Kill!" Deng Feibao didn't bother to answer, so he waved his hand, and his subordinates on the left and right attacked him together, trying to cut Chang Liezi into pieces.
Chang Liezi wanted to fight back, but he found that the heaviness spread to half of his body as the Qi circulated. The Qi was sluggish, the muscles and bones were paralyzed, as if he was suffering from an old illness, and even the limbs and joints had trouble bending and extending.
At this critical moment, unprovoked strong winds fell from the sky. A figure of a military general wearing armor and holding a long sword waved left and right, easily forcing the besiegers back. Then he picked up Chang Liezi with one hand, rode the wind and retreated on the clouds, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was no trace, leaving only Deng Feibao, stunned and speechless.
