Chapter 404 Five Elements of Vitality, Underworld Attacks
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhong decided to go there.
The Chen family is a cultivating family, and the senior officials may know a lot of things. Instead of waiting to get to Fangshi later and try to find out on their own, we might as well take this opportunity to see if we can learn anything.
After all, he really cares about the "Law of Underworld".
So Lu Zhongyi cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'll ask you, fellow Taoist, to lead the way."
Soon, Lu Zhong met the head of the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Chen family is exceptionally young. He looks to be in his early fifties, a young man with a short beard, and is currently in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Sorry for inviting fellow Taoist here late at night, I am Chen Xuyang, the head of the Guihan Chen family!"
"Loose cultivator Lu Zhong." Lu Zhong cupped his hands at him and said calmly.
The two exchanged polite greetings before the host and guest took their seats.
After chatting for a while, Lu Zhong brought the topic to Heaven and Earth.
Unfortunately, after a while of insinuations, Chen Xuyang seemed to know no more than Old Taoist Fang Pan despite his efforts to cooperate. Apart from a few vague guesses, he could no longer spit out anything else.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong had no choice but to give up.
Chen Xuyang looked embarrassed. In order to lighten the atmosphere, he talked about business.
"I heard that fellow Taoist masters are very familiar with the silver script and can even speak through it. If that's true, could you please help me interpret this document? This thing is very important to our Chen family. It's a matter of life and death.
It’s not an exaggeration, if fellow Taoist can decipher it, I’m willing to give you a ray of golden energy as reward!”
As he spoke, he handed a piece of yellow paper on the table and set out the conditions.
Lu Zhong took a look at the paper and found that the words on it were scrambled and rearranged deliberately. It must be that as the head of the Chen family said, there was some big secret hidden in it, and this was done to keep it secret.
However, even if it is deliberately disrupted, if he wants to decipher it, it is not difficult at all.
The key is why he wants to help.
But after subsequent communication, Lu Zhong learned about the role of Jin Yuanqi.
It turns out that after the invasion of the underworld and the laws of the underworld, the power of the immortal monks began to decline. In order to solve this problem, there was a spiritual object commonly known as "Five Elements Vitality", which was produced by the great sect that ruled the Western Continent.
The function of the gate is to temporarily restore the strength of the immortal cultivator. In addition to the gold energy, there are four other five element energy, all of which can have the same effect.
According to Chen Xuyang, a ray of golden energy is worth a lot of money, at least it is worth nearly ten thousand spiritual stones.
Lu Zhong was skeptical about this.
However, in order to obtain Jin Yuanqi, he decided to accept the order.
After half an hour, the interpretation of the Yin Bang text was completed.
In this regard, Lu Zhong was delaying on purpose, otherwise with his strength, he would have been able to decipher it in less than half a quarter of an hour.
He handed it to Chen Xuyang, who indeed ordered someone to send him Jin Yuanqi.
"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I won't be accompanying my Taoist friend!" Chen Xuyang said apologetically.
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Lu Zhong didn't care either, but looked at the glass bottle in his hand.
Jin Yuan Qi looks similar to cloud energy, and is also in the shape of white mist. It gives him a feeling that it is somewhat similar to the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, but they are two completely different things.
"Immortal cultivators can use this to restore their strength..."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but connect the five elements' vitality with the divine energy.
It can also restore strength.
Is it possible that there is some mystery hidden in it?
Looking at the golden energy in his hand, Lu Zhong resisted the idea of using it. After all, this thing can be used to restore strength. It would be a pity to waste it like this.
Besides, right now, we are in the Yaksha Desert.
If what he expected was correct, there would be a chance to use it soon.
As soon as Lu Zhong walked out of the door, someone came to greet him.
It was the girl with a white scarf named Chun'er, accompanied by two chocobos. When she saw Lu Zhong coming out of the palace, she showed an expression of relief and said with a smile: "Master Lu, your accommodation has been arranged.
It's on the turtle carriage we got on just now. Please follow Chun'er to find out where it is."
"That's good work." Lu Zhong mounted the chocobo and said with a chuckle.
Walking on the road.
From time to time, you can see a group of lanterns passing by the turtle carriage.
"what are these?"
"Master Immortal, are you talking about these guiding lights?" Chun'er, who was leading the way, turned back and said with a smile: "They are necessary magical tools for walking through the Yaksha Desert. They were bought by the family owner at a big price. I heard that they can only be used at night
By lighting them up, you can illuminate the road ahead, and you don't have to worry about being attacked by ghosts."
"Oh?" Lu Zhong was surprised when he heard this.
According to his observations, these lanterns have no effect in exorcising evil spirits. They are just flying lanterns.
If you want to say what's weird about it, it's that it exudes a light fragrance.
"I bought it for a lot of money..."
Lu Zhong felt that if he guessed correctly, these lanterns should be "travel money."
"really interesting!"
He smiled lightly and didn't think about it further.
Soon, Lu Zhong arrived at his residence.
It is a clean guest room with very simple furnishings. It only has the necessary spirit gathering array and privacy restrictions, plus a table and two chairs, as well as a newly changed bedding. It feels fluffy and soft with a slight warmth. The table
A vase of flowers was placed on top, filling the room with a fragrant scent.
It can be seen that the Chen family has indeed arranged it carefully.
Once inside, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.
It's not for practicing.
But being in a foreign world, Lu Zhong really felt insecure, so he planned to meditate instead of sleeping.
Just like that, the night passed quickly.
At dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how was your rest last night?" Old Taoist Fang Pan stood outside the door and said with a smile on his face.
"It's okay. Fellow Taoist, came here so early. Did something happen to you?" Lu Zhong glanced around and found that the faces of the other people in the convoy were as usual. There were people hanging clothes and sheets to dry, and some sitting at roadside stalls buying food.
It didn't look like he was under attack.
"Of course not, I'm just informing my friends about something." The old Taoist shook his head and said.
Immediately afterwards, he added: "According to the current speed of travel, we will pass through a canyon at noon. There are many ghosts entrenched in it. Even if there are guiding lights, a convoy carrying a large number of living people may not be able to pass safely. Don't be afraid.
Ten thousand means just in case, so fellow Taoists please make preparations in advance."
"No problem." Lu Zhong responded.
After the old man finished speaking, he explained some precautions before saying goodbye and leaving.
After watching the other party leave, Lu Zhong saw that there were many stalls selling food in the convoy. Smelling the tempting aroma, he couldn't help but feel greedy. He simply didn't bother to go back to the room and started to carry the turtles one by one.
Wander around and taste the delicacies from other worlds.
I have to say, the food tastes pretty good.
After such a round of shopping, he spent nearly a hundred spirit stones.
It can be said to be a feast for the eyes.
As the sky hung high on the second day, the temperature gradually increased, and the speed of the convoy began to speed up. A dozen turtle wagons lined up in a winding formation, stretched out for many miles, and marched in a deserted area.
In the deserted Yaksha Wasteland.
At this moment, a bell sounded from the watchtower.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Attention, everyone! Unidentified smoke and dust have been found ahead. We have already taken action against the scout team exploring the path, and are currently rushing towards the convoy!" Someone stood on the watchtower and shouted loudly using magic amplification.
As soon as these words came out, the entire convoy was in commotion.
The pack turtles, which were originally moving fast, slowly slowed down under the control of the animal master. Soon they formed a circle and retracted their heads and feet.
It has become a fortress.
Everyone is on alert, and Lu Zhong is no exception.
Soon, there was smoke coming from the distance, and a group of wolf cavalry could be vaguely seen. The thing they were riding on was a huge warg with withered yellow fur. It was about ten feet tall at least. The rider on it was
They were all wearing heavy armor, and the surface was painted black, giving them a sinister look.
At this time, Lu Zhong noticed that these cavalry were wrapped so tightly that not even a bit of skin was exposed. Thinking of the guiding light, he had some guesses about the origin of this group of cavalry.
After a while, the knights rushed to the car formation.
One of them raised his hand and threw two heads, letting their bones roll to the ground.
I don’t know when Chen Xuyang appeared, with Old Taoist Fang Pan beside him. His face was as dark as water at this moment, but he was still suppressing his anger. He rushed over and said, "Commander Fang, I don’t know how my Chen family has offended you, so I need to help you."
Sir, why don’t you come and take a trip yourself?”
"Hahaha!!!" A knight laughed.
I saw him riding a warg, slowly walking out of the team, and said sadly: "I can't say I'm offended, it's just that I didn't buy enough lamps. My general has spoken, and the previous forty-four lamps are invalid. Now if you want to pass through the Yaksha Wasteland, you must have
Buy seventy-four!"
"Seventy-four! Can't...can't we be accommodating?" When Chen Xuyang heard this, his expression became even uglier. He had almost wiped out the Chen family's wealth by buying forty-four. Now there is nothing left.
With extra spiritual stones, you can buy the extra thirty guiding lights.
"No money? I don't care about that!" Commander Fang sneered.
Immediately afterwards, he glanced at everyone and said meaningfully: "In my opinion, Daoyou Chen has no money. He is clearly sitting on a treasure mountain and doesn't know it! Look at these people, not all of them are walking souls.
Stone, as long as Taoist friends are willing to give 3,000 people, then the guiding light can be reached!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Chen Xuyang.
The latter's expression changed and he became silent.
Lu Zhong watched this scene quietly, with no intention of making his own decision. How Chen Xuyang chose, even if it was as the ghost cultivator below said, sending 3,000 people out, it was still an internal matter of the Chen family. He was just a hitchhiker.
, I have no responsibility and no need to get involved too much.
Yes, he has seen it.
The pair of cavalrymen who came were all ghost cultivators.
Time passed by, and the sweat on Chen Xuyang's forehead became more and more. Just as the ghost cultivators became more and more impatient, he finally made a decision.
"Everyone listens to the order and prepares to fight!"
As these words fell, all the Chen family members on the giant turtle cheered.
"Long live!"
"Long live the master of the family!"
"well done!"
Originally, everyone thought that the new head of the family who had just taken office would be like the previous head of the family, choosing to trade with his clan members in order to survive.
Unexpectedly, the result exceeded their expectations.
"Is this your decision?"
The warg knight smiled sadly, looked deeply at Chen Xuyang, then picked up the reins and turned around.
Before leaving, I left one sentence:
"Since you don't want to spend money, just pay for it with your life! See you later!"
Wait for the cavalry to leave.
"Alas!" The old Taoist walked to Lu Zhong and sighed heavily.
The decision made by Chen Xuyang certainly won the support of his tribe, but it also brought huge troubles. The ghost cultivators stationed in the Yaksha Wasteland must have been furious because of this, and the convoy was about to be in disaster.
"Had I known this, Pindao would never have accepted this commission!"
The old Taoist sighed for a while, then turned to Lu Zhong and said: "Friend Lu, if you can't stop me later, just run away. It's better to escape one by one than to die in the hands of ghost cultivators."
The fate of even death and no peace of mind!" Juqu Pavilion
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's face flashed with surprise.
"Why, the ghost cultivator is very powerful?"
"More than just strong!" The old Taoist became excited and waved his hand: "Did you know that the underworld army entrenched in the Yaksha Wasteland was specifically designed to confront the Linghuan Sect in the south. There must be tens of millions of ghosts in it, not to mention tens of millions.
There are millions of them. If only one hundred percent comes over later, it will be enough to swamp the convoy!"
As he was talking, he noticed something was wrong with Lu Zhong's expression.
When normal people hear this, their expressions will at least change.
But this one, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait...relieved?
The old Taoist rolled his eyes, as if he had realized something, and his breathing quickened, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, is it possible that you have a way to deal with the incoming underworld ghost army?"
"It can't be said to be a solution, it can only be said to be a defeat." Lu Zhong made up a random statement.
To be honest, he admired Chen Xuyang's decision.
Among the selfish monks, the head of the Chen family's work style reminded Lu Zhong of an old friend, and he had the idea of helping.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He turned his hand over and revealed three evil-breaking talismans.
In addition, there is a small True Yang Talisman.
"Hiss, so many yang talismans!" The old Taoist couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw those talismans clearly. Nowadays, when the strength of immortal cultivators is suppressed, the yang energy originating from the essence of the sun is so suppressed.
The force is relatively small, thus retaining good power.
Immediately afterwards, the old Taoist looked ecstatic.
"Enough, absolutely enough! With so many yang talismans, even if the underworld ghost army arrives, Pindao will be confident to repel them. By the time the underworld ghost army reacts, we will have already left the Yaksha Wasteland, and even if they
No matter how much you want to take revenge, it’s too late!”
But he quickly thought of a question.
That is, why should Lu Zhong hand over these talismans?
Today, with the invasion of Huangquan, the Yang Qi in the world is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and all kinds of Yang Qi spiritual plants have begun to gradually disappear. It is precisely because of this reason that the price of the Yang Qi spiritual talisman can be said to be very high.
The sun is getting higher and higher, so many spiritual talismans are worth at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
According to the old estimate, I am afraid that even the Foundation Establishment Pill can be replaced!
Just as he hesitated, a voice came from behind.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have collected all these talismans!" Chen Xuyang came out from the corner.
As early as when Lv Zhong and Lv Zhong were talking, he had already arrived nearby. His original intention was to discuss countermeasures, but he never thought that there would be a big surprise waiting. Now he heard that Lv Zhong had a large number of spiritual talismans, which could even repel the ghost cultivators.
, how could he not seize the opportunity?
"Three against the second level, one against the third level...according to the market price, it is thirty-nine thousand five hundred spirit stones."
"I wonder if my fellow Taoist is satisfied with my calculation?"
Chen Xuyang said, looking nervously at Lu Zhong.
The latter smiled faintly.
"Yes, yes, but what will Fellow Daoist Chen pay for?"
