Chapter 667: Past grudges, the wind rises in the Phantom Wave Pond
I wanted to postpone it for a few words, but seeing his wife's expression, Ma Dingshan took it.
"Thank you, Chief Shan. Quick, please come inside."
Xu Rui nodded and glanced at the woman beside him. He saw a middle-aged woman wearing blue linen clothes and dressed as a maid. She was tall and strong among women.
The latter noticed his gaze and quickly bowed his head, not daring to look directly.
With a faint smile, Ma Dingshan led him into the living room.
The banquet has dispersed and the food and wine have been cleared away.
"Master Shan, sit down for a moment. I will immediately order the people to prepare another banquet," Ma Dingshan said.
"No need to bother. I have been cultivating myself, and I have already gone without grains. I have not eaten meat and wine in the secular world for a long time. Please forgive me, Lord Ma, for my difficulty in cultivating. Please don't make me break the precepts." Xu Rui said with a smile.
Ma Dingshan's face showed embarrassment.
"Isn't it inappropriate to treat guests like this?"
"As gentlemen, you and I don't have to worry about these things. If you feel sorry for me, just offer me a pot of fragrant tea."
"If the mountain chief insists on doing this, then I have to be more respectful than obey his orders. I happen to have some fine Yunwu Ling tea brought by today's guests, so I will order my servants to brew it for the mountain chief."
Xu Rui nodded and turned to look at the child next to him who was being held in the arms of a strong woman in sackcloth and still babbling.
"Is that Master Ma's heir?"
"The dog 'Xingming' has just turned one year old now."
"Ma Xingming?"
Xu Rui looked at it briefly.
Although this child's cultivation aptitude is also excellent, it is not as good as that of Sister Nai, Ma Mingyue.
He looked at the little girl nestled next to her mother, looking at him curiously.
She has the most outstanding cultivation qualification in the world - the innate Taoist body.
In the words of Shushan, it is the quality of immortality and jade.
Xu Rui was thinking about how to speak in order to take this young girl with extraordinary qualifications under his wing. Suddenly he frowned and looked up outside.
Lines of black smoke enveloped the entire Ma Mansion.
At the same time, bursts of cries of ghosts and howls of wolves resounded from all directions.
The servants of the Ma family were instantly confused.
The female relatives in the living room were also so frightened that they screamed.
"The unfaithful thief and coquettish Huang Peiyun, get out of here."
Along with the gnashing of teeth and hatred, a beautiful person wearing a black dress was ruined by a face full of violence, with three skulls hanging on his shoulders.
The woman surrounded by black mist arrived in the courtyard like lightning.
"Zhou Hanling, it's you!"
When Ma Dingshan saw the person coming, his face showed disbelief.
The woman next to her, Huang Peiyun, quickly hid her daughter behind her, looking nervously at the woman in the yard.
"Hey, isn't it just me? You didn't expect that I, who jumped off a cliff and died, am still alive now, and I have learned amazing Taoism under the guidance of my teacher. And you are just a mediocre person in the world.
A small official will inevitably turn into ashes after a hundred years."
Sen Leng's words were filled with gnashing hatred.
Ma Dingshan took a deep breath. Although he tried his best to be calm, his tone could not hide his excitement.
"Isn't this great? You can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. I will only be an ordinary person like myself. The two have nothing to do with each other."
"Hahaha!"
After laughing nervously, his face was filled with hatred.
"Bah, you have a beautiful idea. You are a black-hearted, heartless bastard and beast. If I, Zhou Hanling, don't kill you two adulterers and adulterers in this life, I won't be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Ma Dingshan's expression changed and he quickly protected his wife behind him.
"I failed you in the first place, please kill me and don't hurt Peiyun."
These words not only had no effect, but made Zhou Hanling's hatred even stronger.
"Today I will not only kill you two bitches, but also your bitches and the whole family, not even the dogs or the chickens will be spared!"
Along with the gnashing of teeth and hatred, a ray of black light flew straight towards Ma Dingshan and his wife like lightning.
Xu Rui was about to take action, but stopped.
In an instant, a red sword light blocked the front.
‘Bang’, the black energy and red light collided and scattered in all directions.
The strong woman who was standing behind Huang Peiyun with her baby in her arms suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Ma Dingshan and his wife, staring at Zhou Hanling warily.
After the latter saw clearly that it was her, his expression changed instantly.
"How is that possible? You're not dead!"
"That day you tricked me into your room, knocked me unconscious and buried you alive. I thought I was going to die, but luckily I was rescued by my master, Grandma Jin from Baiquedong, Hengshan. She didn't mind that I had low qualifications, so she took me under her disciples and taught me well.
Now... I just didn't expect that you would also meet the fate of immortality." The strong woman said coldly.
Zhou Hanling's face showed pride.
"Grandma Jin from Baique Cave in Hengshan is just a casual cultivator, but my master, the Witch Tieshu, is a direct descendant of the Naked Sect. There are countless strong men in the sect. Even Emei, the leader of the righteous path, does not dare to look down on her. How can you be with me?"
Compare."
With a wave of his hand, the three skulls on his left shoulder flew down.
Breathing black smoke from the mouth, evil spirits gather.
"Hmph, you were lucky last time and survived. Today I will send you and your slutty master to the Palace of Hell together."
"Three Evil Confusion Techniques!"
With a 'whoosh', the black smoke surrounding the skull suddenly turned into sharp arrows, which rushed towards the strong woman overwhelmingly.
The latter looked solemn, and with a pinch of his hands, a little spark suddenly turned into infinite flames!
The sharp arrow collided with it and suddenly shattered, but a fishy smell dispersed.
"It's not good, it's poisonous!"
The strong woman was shocked.
This poison may not be a big deal to her, but to Ma Dingshan and his wife, who are mortals, it is indeed a fatal thing.
Just when she was anxious, a sudden surge of anger swept through her, and all the poisonous gas and black arrows were instantly swept away.
Zhou Hanling, who was originally arrogant, was stunned for a moment, as if he had been stunned by something.
The three skulls turned into streams of light and flew behind them.
Shocked in her heart, the strong woman quickly turned around.
I saw that the Taoist who was welcomed by my master had already crushed three skeletons.
With a wave of his hand, he threw it into the Yin Yang Basho Dharma Realm.
Once the yin and yang qi are ground together, all the impurities will be refined, leaving only the pure yin qi that will be integrated into the Dharma Realm.
Looking at the shocked strong woman, she smiled and said, "Are you Grandma Jin's disciple?"
The opponent who was evenly matched with her was suppressed by this person in an instant. Of course, the strong woman knew that his cultivation level was much higher than hers, so she did not dare to neglect him at the moment.
"To return to my senior, my name is Chen Zibing, and I have been under my mentor for thirteen years."
Xu Rui nodded slightly.
"How come you are committed to being a maid in the Ma family when you introduced Jin Dan?"
"I was originally the lady's maid. It was only thirteen years ago that Zhou Hanling tricked me into the backyard, knocked me unconscious, and buried me alive, so that I could become the master's disciple. Later, when I went down the mountain, I felt the lady's kindness for many years and voluntarily returned to the lady's side as a servant.
, to repay deep kindness."
"Sister Chen, thank you very much this time."
Huang Peiyun took two steps forward and held Chen Zibing's hands with gratitude on her face.
"Miss, there is no need to say thank you. If it weren't for the old lady, I would have starved to death on the streets of Xunyang. Later, although I was called a master and servant, I still love you like a sister. Of course, I want to protect you. If I really want to say thank you, I should also thank this Taoist Priest.
.If it weren’t for him, things today would probably be difficult to solve.”
Huang Peiyun nodded excitedly and walked to her husband.
They both bowed to Xu Rui.
"No need to say thank you, get up."
After Ma Dingshan stood up, he looked at Zhou Hanling who was frozen in the air and hesitated for a while.
"I wonder what the real person will do with her?"
"What do you think should be done?" Xu Rui asked with interest.
Ma Dingshan hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.
"Ma Dingshan is so brave, please ask Master to spare his life."
Before Xu Rui could speak, Chen Zibing had already objected fiercely.
"No. This person has repeatedly tried to harm the young lady, so we cannot spare her."
Also, no one wants to see their murderous enemy continue to live.
Ma Dingshan smiled bitterly.
After Huang Peiyun comforted her, she bowed to Xu Rui and said: "My dear, back then my husband was married to Sister Zhou on the fingertips. Later, due to the grievances between their parents, the two of them separated. Who knew that Sister Zhou was very affectionate for her husband?"
, after knowing that my husband married me, I sent people to make things difficult for me many times..."
"If I hadn't protected her, the young lady would have been killed by her long ago."
Chen Zibing was still very angry when she mentioned what happened back then. Although she was a woman, she liked boxing and kicking since she was a child, so she learned her skills from the Huang family's nursing school.
For the safety of their daughter, the Huang family and his wife let her go.
Huang Peiyun sighed and continued.
"Later, my husband was so angry that he came to visit her and said some heartless words in front of everyone in the Zhou family. Who knew that Sister Zhou had such a strong personality that she jumped off the cliff behind the Zhou family's villa that same day."
"...Because of this incident, my husband has been feeling uneasy for more than ten years, and I have always felt guilty. Therefore, please forgive my husband's small face and spare her life."
Xu Rui nodded slightly.
"It turns out there is still such an old public case."
"Since you and your wife said so, I can spare her life, but this woman has a cold heart and is guilty of serious crimes. She can be spared the death penalty but cannot escape the crime of living."
"What does the mountain chief mean...?" Ma Dingshan said hesitantly.
"I have my own disposal, so you don't have to worry about it."
Xu Rui planned to erase the other party's memory, reshape it, and throw it into the Kongming Dharma Realm to be a servant girl.
Ma Dingshan hesitated to speak, wanting to ask clearly, but seeing the look on Xu Rui's face, he wisely gave up.
After settling Ma Dingshan's past grudges, Xu Rui glanced at Ma Mingyue, who was leaning against his mother and looking at him curiously.
"Master Ma, Xu has a merciless request?"
"Mountain Master, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do anything." Ma Dingshan said with gratitude.
"Xu has a predestined relationship with your daughter, so he wants to accept her as a disciple. I also ask Master Ma to agree."
Chen Zibing's face changed slightly. She originally planned to recommend Ma Mingyue to her master when she was older. But she didn't expect that someone else would take the lead.
I had my heart to object, but this person’s cultivation far surpassed my own. He also had a life-saving grace for the Ma family. After thinking about it, I still didn’t say anything.
"Do you want to take Mingyue as your disciple?"
Xu Rui nodded.
"He is my fourth disciple."
This horse Mingyue is the reincarnation of the Red Flower Ghost Mother. He has inherited the legacy of the Red Flower Ghost Mother. Due to this cause and effect, he naturally has the responsibility to lead her into Taoism.
However, Ma Mingyue has a lot of family members, and there is no doubt that they will be involved in the future, so he has no plans to become his disciple.
Instead, he planned to let his disciples do the hard work. If they really can't handle it, he would step in again.
As for the candidates for these four disciples, he already has them.
Having just seen the magic of Taoism and the grace of saving their lives, Ma Dingshan and Huang Peiyun were a little reluctant to leave, but thinking that the academy was not far from home, Xu Rui promised to see it once a month, so they agreed.
He reached out and made a move, and a little spiritual light flew out from behind Ma Mingyue's head, turning into a spiritual talisman surrounded by purple light.
This talisman and seal were left behind when they met Ma Mingyue and her son outside Chang'an City. They saw that she had a gloomy look on her face and that she would be killed soon.
Now that Ma Mingyue is following him, there will naturally be no danger.
On the contrary, Ma Dingshan and his wife wanted to prevent Zhou Hanling's master - "Witch Tieshu" from coming to seek revenge, so it was better to leave this magic talisman to them.
With a wave of his hand, the magic talisman flew towards Chen Zibing.
"You will hold this talisman. If someone from the Naked Cult comes again, you will crush it and the disaster will be solved."
"Thank you, senior."
Chen Zibing quickly thanked him.
Seeing the reluctance on the faces of Ma Dingshan and Huang Peiyun, Xu Rui said.
"I'm temporarily staying in the almshouse. If you want a child in the future, you can go there to see her."
Ma Dingshan breathed a sigh of relief. The nursing home was not far from his home.
"Thank you, senior."
After smiling and nodding, he took Ma Mingyue, who was looking reluctant to leave, and left the Ma Mansion in a flash of light.
It was probably the first time for the little guy to leave home alone. His little face was full of reluctance, and he was sobbing quietly, silently, just like a child going to kindergarten for the first time.
Seeing this, Xu Rui shook his head slightly.
He really didn't know how to coax children, so after returning to Chongshan Academy, he temporarily handed him over to Linglong.
She has a gentle and patient personality and is loved by almost all children.
With so many friends, within three or four days, Ma Mingyue began to become cheerful.
Seeing this, Xu Rui nodded slightly.
"Now it's time to introduce my four disciples."
With a thought in his heart, Xu Xuandu flew out of the empty Dharma Realm, transformed into an escape light, and flew towards the south like lightning.
——
The place he wants to go is Yihuanling, known as one of the seventeen holy places in the southwest.
This place is remote among the thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang. It is now the cave of the famous Saint Aunt Gain.
If Xu Rui hadn't interfered, it would have become the home of Yi Jing, Shang Gu, Li Yingqiong, and Yu Yingnan.
Yihuanling Huanbo Pool is located in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. It is more than 300,000 miles away from Chang'an. Even Xu Xuandu's Five Elements Escape took four days to get there.
At a glance, the mountain is not very high, but it is surrounded by natural-cut walls, hundreds of feet high, slippery, steep, and extremely precipitous.
There are countless high mountains and forests surrounding it, with a radius of five thousand miles, hiding poisonous snakes and beasts, many of which are unknown.
Xu Rui hovered in the sky of Yihuan Ridge for a moment, without bothering to waste any time, and directly activated the Haotian Mirror.
A faint green light shone down.
not long time.
"found it."
After urging the light to fly for five hundred miles, he came to the top of a valley.
A strange tree shaped like green grass and several feet high comes into view.
There are about thousands of spiritual trees, densely packed, growing around a lake with a radius of about an acre. Their branches are tangled with each other like knives and blades, covering the entire lake without any gaps.
And the lake water spurted out from the cracks in the rocks under the trees surrounding the lake, and the water force shot directly into the center.
When it reaches the center, it forms a whirlpool, spinning rapidly and causing waves to fly.
Seen from above, there are waves, a few feet below the surface of the water, and plummeting thousands of feet.
Xu Rui understood that this pool was the Phantom Wave Pool, and under the water was the entrance to Saint Aunt Gain's cave.
However, he came this time not to enter the Phantom Wave Pool, but to enter Shangguan Hong.
Although there is not much written about her in Shushan, in the later "Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng" and "The Story of Yunhai Zhengqi", Shangguan Hong can be called the first character in the third generation of Shushan.
He also inherited the Pope of Emei.
His qualifications, character, and skills are all top-notch in this world.
Moreover, her life experience is somewhat similar to that of Yu Yingnan. She was persecuted by her aunt. After escaping from home at Xingye, she was taken to Yihuanling by a giant eagle.
Such a disciple with high qualifications and little involvement in cause and effect is just right for him.
He activated the Haotian Mirror, searched for a moment, and then took a step forward to escape from the light.
Soon we came to a deep valley.
This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with towering ancient trees and climbing vines inside. Although it is not a beautiful scenery, it is quiet and quiet.
At the bottom of the valley is a cave that twists and turns downwards to an unknown depth.
When I went in to explore, I could see signs of forbidden magic in the cave. I activated the Haotian Mirror, and the dim blue mirror light shone down, and a stone door appeared at the end of the cave.
After breaking the seal above with the Haotian Mirror, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Facing the room is a very neat stone room with a stone couch in the middle, a stone table next to it, and stoves and other utensils. It is obvious that someone has lived in it.
On the stone table, there are still two marks, one round and one square, which seem to have been formed by something that has been left on it for a long time. The color is obviously different from other cases, but now the marks are still there, but the things are gone. It should be that they were
It was taken away not long ago.
Went around here.
"It seems that this woman has entered the mountain."
I felt relieved.
Shangguan Hong appeared late, and with the secrets now scattered, Xu Rui didn't know where she was.
If you can't find it in Yihuanling, it will be troublesome to look for it in the vast world.
So without further delay, he turned around and left the stone room. The Yudun light appeared in the sky, and he activated the Haotian Mirror to search for him.
Not even a quarter of an hour later, I suddenly saw a flash of blood a hundred miles to the north of the mountain. The light was mixed with evil colors, as if some side sect of magicians were casting spells there.
As soon as the light shines, you will gain something immediately.
He immediately stopped delaying and urged Dunguang to rush over.
In the blink of an eye, clear voices reached my ears in the air nearby.
"Little Mao Nu, I made it clear two months ago that I would prepare the cave and prepare the cave, and then I would teach you the boundless Taoist and supreme magical powers. Why did you miss the chance to be immortal and leave without saying goodbye?"
In the hoarse voice, an ugly Taoist priest wearing black Taoist uniform appeared in Xu Rui's eyes.
Looking in the direction of his shouting, a hairy girl with green hair on her face and hands and feet, wearing a dress that looked like a fine grass woven dress, came into view.
"I didn't think clearly about it at the time, but then I thought about it. I felt that after worshiping the master, I would have to be restrained and controlled. It was not as comfortable as enjoying the mountains and wilds now. I am willing to live with the barbarians until I grow old. I no longer want to learn any immortal Taoism.
Shangguan Hong had the good intentions of the immortal, but he had to accept them heartily."
The sound is clear and crisp, like an oriole coming out of the valley, which makes people love it.
"It is indeed her."
Xu Rui, who was hiding in mid-air after hearing her announce her home, was happy and was not in a hurry to show up. She wanted to see how the next two people would deal with it.
After hearing what she said, the black-clothed Taoist's strange eyes gleamed fiercely, and he was obviously extremely angry. However, it seemed that out of some scruples, he suppressed his anger, forced out an unusually ugly smile, and followed the instructions.
"Little Mao Girl, you are used to being wild and wild in the wilderness, and you don't know how rare it is to have immortality. You know, how many ordinary people in the world have been praying hard, and have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers to wear iron shoes just to seek immortality, but they still can't get it."
"...And for you, a little girl, to be lucky enough to meet me in this barren mountain and wilderness is truly a rare opportunity. I urge you to think about it carefully. Don't you really want to learn how to fly to the sky and escape from the earth?
The magic of immortality?"
"In no mood."
Shangguan Hong simply refused.
After several times, the evil spirit couldn't help but get angry, and he couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly.
"Stinky girl, I think you are really ignorant. When I capture you and bring you back to the cave, let's see how I teach you a lesson."
He raised his hand, and a flash of blood as red as blood rushed towards Shangguan Hong like lightning.
Seeing him take action, Shangguan Hong just wanted to follow the instructions of the female fairy in the cave and use the magic talisman obtained from the stone cave to use the escape method to dodge and fight back.
Suddenly, a clear laugh was heard in the air, and a clear voice came.
"How dare a mere junior call himself an immortal?!"
A handful of blazing flames crashed down like an erupting volcano, instantly burning away every drop of blood released by the demonic path.
"Who dares to break Pindao's law and show up to meet me if he has the ability?"
The demon in black said in surprise.
His body moved backwards unconsciously, as if he was ready to escape at any moment.
Before he could take any action, a handful of blue light fell down.
The whole person is like a mosquito caught in a spider's web, and it is difficult to move.
Xu Rui floated down, looked up and down, and smiled.
"Are you Shangguan Hong?"
Shangguan Hong, who had recovered from the previous sudden change, looked at the green-robed immortal in front of him and keenly felt a sense of kindness and kindness from him.
I couldn't help but nod my head.
"In reply to the immortal's words, I am Shangguan Hong."
Xu Rui nodded, raised his hand and pointed at the evil way, and then smiled gently at Shangguan Hong.
"This evil spirit always bullies you, do you want to teach him a lesson?"
"I……."
Shangguan Hong rushed to answer, but then he came to his senses. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly.
"This immortal... Taoist priest just wants to accept the little girl as his disciple. He has been entangled several times but he has no intention of harming me. He also asked the immortal to spare his life."
"Haha, you do have a kind nature."
Xu Rui smiled and nodded.
With a thought in his heart, the light rolled back and brought the other party into the Haotian Mirror.
Looking at Shangguan Hong's questioning eyes, he smiled.
"This demon practices blood magic. Although he has never killed you, hundreds of innocent people have died in his hands. To make a living for the world, this person must not be allowed to let go."
Shangguan Hong was shocked. She was young and didn't have much experience, so she didn't expect this.
But he was born with intelligence, and he understood it as soon as his mind turned, and he quickly saluted.
"What the immortal said is true. Shangguan Hongding will remember your teachings."
Xu Rui nodded slightly and took a look.
It turns out that she has excellent bones, extremely thick endowments, clear eyebrows, and even flesh and bones. Although there are green hairs on her face and body, she is still unparalleled in beauty under the outline. She is truly a beauty.
