Chapter 27: Temporarily taking shelter from the limelight
As we have said before, this corpse man was born with a tall head and a slim arm. He was tall and tall, with beard and hair like a mane.
Even though he is always dressed as a Taoist priest, he does not have any sense of immortality at all. Instead, he looks like a giant thug who has worn the wrong clothes.
But no matter what, the sense of "presence" and "sense of oppression" this guy brings to people is indeed extremely strong.
At this moment, he was walking in the C position, leading his four hall masters and a group of younger brothers, walking towards the temple entrance in a hurry... That scene, that momentum, it was two ranks higher than that of the Causeway Bay leader, right?
As for the group of minions on the street who were kneeling in front of Sun Yixie, when they saw the leader arriving, they all stood up again and naturally dispersed to both sides to greet the leader.
The masters made a way.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yixie and the others did not dare to act rashly for a while. They were just thinking of ideas while watching Shi Xuanzi lead the people all the way to the temple gate.
When he came closer, Shi Xuanzi also smiled, because he took a closer look and found that in addition to the "Smiling Swordsman" who massacred Qinglian Hall, Jiang Muchan, the snitch last night, was also present, which was just right for him.
Catch them all in one go.
"Hey! You bold madman! You dare to impersonate the Northern Heavenly Emperor Wu and speak rudely to me. I think you are tired of living!" As soon as he stood still, Shi Yanzi pointed his sword at Sun Yixie's hand.
My nose started to curse.
"Presumptuous!" Sun Yixie, no matter how guilty he was, how could he say anything wrong? So at this moment, he was not afraid, and still shamelessly retorted, "How dare you speak arrogant words when you meet this Heavenly Lord, you are such a bastard...
...Aren’t you afraid that I will crush you to pieces?”
Shi Xuanzi was stunned when he drank like this, and thought to himself: Is this kid crazy? How dare he challenge me like this? Does this mean he doesn't know what I'm capable of?
Just when he was hesitating for a few seconds, Huang Donglai, who was next to Sun Yixie, suddenly spoke: "Tao comes from nothingness and is born with innate energy!"
As soon as Shi Yanzi heard this sentence, he responded instinctively: "The law is divided into yin and yang from one qi, heaven and earth!"
After he finished this sentence, Huang Donglai said again: "Ringing a bell is worse than ringing a bell."
After hearing this, Shi Xuanzi said: "Reciting sutras is not as good as reciting mantras."
As soon as the two of them finished saying these slang words, they confirmed that each other was a cultivator.
In this case, Huang Donglai will start to report to the mountain gate to scare people: "In the Immortal Cave in Wawu Mountain, you can reach the sky with one step to the Xuanqi Sect!"
When Xixianzi heard the three words "Xuanqi Sect", his expression, in Brother Sun's words, was like he was screaming in his heart, "Fuck me!"
But even if he is vain, his words still have to be answered...
After holding it in for a few seconds, Shi Xuanzi still replied: "There is a real immortal under the ancient Tianshan Mountain, one yuan, one meeting, one fire lotus."
Outsiders may not understand this, but Huang Donglai will understand as soon as he hears it. The so-called "one yuan, one meeting, one fire lotus" means that the demon in front of him does not even belong to the sect. He just worships another Taoist whose name is "Fire Lotus".
"The two-character demon Tao is the teacher, and the two of them teach point to point.
It can be seen that the title "Fire Lotus Immortal" should not be his real Taoist name, because the apprentice and master's Taoist names must not be the same. For example, if his master is called "Fire Lotus" or "Fire Lotus Ancestor", then
His Taoist title can no longer contain the words "Fire Lotus".
So, Huang Donglai said again: "Old Immortal Xudong, I would like to ask you your true name?"
Hearing this, Shi Yanzi's expression became a little more serious, and he thought to himself: "I have heard from Master a long time ago that this Xuanqi Sect is very impressive. There are many monks in the sect who, although they look quite young, are actually hundreds of years old.
Dao Xing... The boy in front of me looks like he is only about twenty years old, but he calls himself 'Old Immortal'. It seems to be consistent with what the master said..."
Thinking of this, Shi Xuanzi became even more cowardly, because he was already in his fifties this year. When he was young, he became a disciple of someone who was not very strong in the magic world, and only learned about 30% to 40% of his abilities.
.
As for Huang Donglai, although the actual situation is that he only studied in the mountain for less than a year, only the Taoist name is more deceiving.
But according to Shi Xuanzi's judgment, Huang Donglai is probably a character who has been practicing for more than a hundred years in a sect with extremely high upper and lower limits like Xuanqi Sect.
therefore……
"Uh... Junior Xi Xuanzi, I have met my senior." After thinking for a short time, Xi Xuanzi bowed down and responded politely.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Fire Lotus cultists were shocked.
Just now, when they saw the leader coming over to challenge them, they thought they had a backer, so they all put on their arrogant faces. Who knew, after a few words of conversation, their boss suddenly started politely?
He calls himself a "junior".
These gangsters don't know much about anything else, but their ability to "read the air" is pretty good. Everyone can tell that their leader seems to be a little weak... The corpse is a little weak, this bunch of bastards from the Fire Lotus Sect.
Naturally, they became even more weak, and immediately they lowered their heads again, putting on expressions that seemed to be saying "You can't see me."
"Oh? Shi Xianzi?" Huang Donglai was repeating the other party's words in a relaxed tone on the surface. In fact, he was going through the situation quickly in his mind through the time delayed by this chanting.
Brother Huang thought to himself at that time: "He actually called me senior? I'm afraid he misunderstood me as someone from my master's generation? Then I might as well pretend and get away."
Having made up his mind, Huang Donglai immediately threw the smile on his shoulder towards Sun Yixie's face.
Brother Sun's reaction was quite quick. Seeing Xiao Wuji, who was tied up with five flowers, flying toward him, he quickly put away his trident, freed his hands, and gave Xiao Wuji a princess hug.
Before Brother Sun could complain, Huang Donglai had already acted like an "old-timer", cleared his throat, and said loudly to Xi Yanzi: "Old Taoist, I haven't traveled down the mountain for many years. What's the name of you and your master?"
, I have never heard of it, eh? Which sect is your master from?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as these words came out, Sun Yixie swallowed back the complaints that were on his lips because he already understood what Huang Donglai wanted to do.
As for Xie Yanzi, he lowered his head and replied respectfully: "As for my senior... my master is a casual cultivator and does not have a sect. Moreover, he is not over a hundred years old this year. According to his seniority,
It’s not surprising that I don’t know…”
"Oh..." Huang Donglai nodded pretendingly, "Okay." He paused, glanced around, and changed the topic, "I said... Zi Xuanzi, as a cultivator, you are neither
Follow your master to study Taoism in the mountains, and you don’t travel around to study and practice hard, but you are doing the Fire Lotus Sect in Jining and forming a gang with these ordinary people... What are you doing?"
"Uh..." Shi Xuanzi thought for a while and replied, "To return to my senior... This junior passed through this place a few years ago and met Zhu Huo, the crown prince of Prince Lu by chance, and was invited by him to give lectures at the palace.
"Although this prince of Lu is a relative of the emperor, he is devoted to good deeds, has a good Taoist heart, and has benevolence for the people. Therefore, after listening to the junior's sermon, he begged him to stay here.
The Jining area helped him educate the local people and correct the world.
"This junior thought about it and realized that this was a meritorious deed, so he no longer shied away from it and established the Fire Lotus Sect here."
His words, not to mention Huang Donglai and others, felt shameless, even the Fire Lotus Sect people thought it was outrageous.
Everyone in the Fire Lotus Sect knows that their leader drinks and eats meat all day long, seizes women from the people, is greedy and murderous... If such a guy can educate the people and correct the world, then just find a bandit.
The boss can come.
Someone will definitely say something when they see this. Even if they know that he is talking nonsense, Huang Donglai must accept everything in order to escape.
wrong.
Shi Xuanzi is not stupid either. His high-sounding nonsense is itself a kind of temptation.
If Huang Donglai even expressed his belief in this and hurriedly said "Oh, that's it, let's say goodbye"... then Shi Xuanzi would definitely become suspicious, and he would suspect on the spot that this "Old Immortal Xudong" is
It's not a bluff, that's why I'm eager to find a moment to escape.
Fortunately, Huang Donglai is also a veteran and will not make such mistakes.
"Zi Xuanzi, you think I'm old and confused, don't you?" The next second, Brother Huang replied in a tone of voice, "I've come here incognito all the way, but I've heard a lot of things from your Fire Lotus Sect.
'Good words'..." He said, and gestured to the clothes he was wearing, "Also, don't you think about it...where did I get this skin from? Do you think you are such a loser?
Am I still not clear about this?"
"Senior... don't listen to people's nonsense!" When Xi Xuanzi heard this, he felt terrible. This time it was a temptation that failed and he would be torn apart. He quickly denied it in an excited tone, "Junior's actions are worthy of heaven and earth.
conscience!"
"Ha!" Huang Donglai laughed dryly, "Then you mean... not only the local people, but also your group of believers are falsely accusing you?"
"Uh..." Shi Xuanzi looked around, thought for a moment, and then said sophistry, "Senior, I don't know something. I, this junior, have worked so hard to educate the local people...
"Juniors think that... those who are kind or moderate do not urgently need to be educated. If we want to correct the world, we must first start with the evil people.
"So, this junior, the Fire Lotus Sect, specializes in recruiting local ruffians, bullies and scoundrels... I want to gather all these evil people together and discipline them. After they are all taught well, then there will be no problem in Jining."
Is this a good situation where we don’t pick up lost things on the road and don’t close our doors at night?”
When he said this, he sighed hypocritically, and then said: "Oh...it's just...seniors should also understand that this 'education' matter requires years and months of hard work, and the Fire Lotus Sect has thousands of followers.
Most of them are naughty people. Even though the younger generation has taught them earnestly and strictly restrained them in recent years, there are still many black sheep who occasionally cause trouble... Then after something happens, the people will naturally blame the Fire Lotus Sect.
Yes, the junior has the idea of 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', so I have never made any excuses and bear these misunderstandings and resentments alone... I hope my seniors will learn from it."
Hearing this, Huang Donglai turned his head and glanced at Sun Yixie for some reason.
When Sun Yixie saw him, his expression immediately changed, his eyebrows went up and down, and his mouth became crooked.
At this moment, although neither of them spoke, they had already completed an exchange. So what is the content of this exchange? I will roughly translate it——
Huang Donglai looked at Sun Yixie with his eyes and sighed: "Fuck! Damn! Brother Sun, your shamelessness is as shameless as yours."
Sun Yixie responded with an expression: "What a chicken! Shut up!"
That's basically what it means...
"Well..." After listening to Shi Xuanzi's words, Huang Donglai pretended to be lost in thought. After a moment, he groaned and continued, "I am also a reasonable person. I heard your words, but their words
..." He said, glancing at Jiang Muchan beside him and Xiao Wuji in Brother Sun's hand respectively, "...I also want to listen, and then I will think about it and make a decision."
"Senior!" Xi Xuanzi heard this and hurriedly continued, "One of these two people is a murderous maniac who just killed more than ten people, and the other is a thief who broke into Prince Lu's Mansion last night with evil intentions.
...Senior, you must not trust their words!"
"Hey~" Huang Donglai waved his hand, "These two people are now in my hands, you don't have to worry about how I deal with them. As for what I want to ask them, after I ask them, I will listen or not, believe it or not...
...You don’t have to worry about it.”
I have to say that Huang Donglai's performance as a "senior" was quite good - his answer did not satisfy Shi Xuanzi, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed real.
The corpse man thought about it again: Jiang Muchan, who had easily escaped from him last night, was now following the "Old Immortal Xudong" obediently, while the smiling swordsman, who was equal to ten, had been
Wuhuada was tied up; as for the brother who claimed to be Zhenwu Emperor... I don't know where he came from, but seeing that he also used Taoist methods when he "put away" the dung fork just now, I guess he is not an ordinary person, and maybe he is too
People from Xuanqi Sect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of this, Shi Xuanzi no longer had even a trace of doubt, and no longer thought about taking risks to test anything. He was completely convinced of the other party in his heart.
He is really a senior master that he cannot afford to offend.
"Yes, yes..." So, Xie Xuanzi could only respond, "Senior has his own decision to make, it is the junior who talks too much..."
"Okay then, ask your men to get out of the way, and tell them by the way, I'm leaving the city, so they don't get in the way." Huang Donglai understood that now that the matter had come to this, they would definitely not be able to stay in the city any longer.
, if he stayed, he would always be under the surveillance of the other party, and he might be exposed or plotted at any time, so he simply stated that he wanted to leave the city and asked Xie Xuanzi to let him go.
After hearing this, Shi Xuanzi replied: "Senior, it's getting late, you still have to go out at this time..."
"Huh?" Huang Donglai didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking before he raised his voice, "Are you familiar with where I want to go? I need your permission?"
"No... I don't dare, I don't dare!" Shi Xuanzi was frightened by Huang Donglai's words. He quickly turned around and said to his men, "Why are you still standing there? Quickly make way for the immortals to lead the way."
What can those Fire Lotus followers say? Just do as you are told.
They also knew that Shi Xuanzi never regarded them as human beings, only as servants who shouted around. Just take the example just now, even if Shi Xuanzi said bad things about them or blamed them, he would not do anything to them.
It was said brazenly in front of them.
But this does not prevent them from continuing to follow Shi Xuanzi and the Fire Lotus Sect.
Because this matter is a two-way street - these gangsters also have no loyalty to Shi Yanzi, and they are just using their power to do evil and gain benefits.
This is called taking advantage of each other. No one wants to talk about feelings, so there is no need to hurt any feelings.
To make a long story short, the four of them, Sun, Huang, Jiang and Xiao, relied on Shuang Xie's deception to escape the siege of the ruined temple. Then they headed all the way to the north gate and left Jining City.
In those days, the view outside the city was wide. Even if the people of the Fire Lotus Sect wanted to follow them, they couldn't follow them. Besides, they didn't dare to follow...
In this way, the four of them walked for a while after leaving the city, and when the sun set, they settled in a woods on the outskirts.
"Damn it, I'm exhausted." Sun Yixie cursed and threw Xiao Wuji on the ground. After throwing it, he turned back to Huang Donglai and said, "Hey, you don't have to continue pretending to be a senior master after leaving the city.
Now, can’t you switch hands with me?”
"Didn't I help Brother Jiang carry half of the luggage?" Huang Donglai said, "Besides, you didn't bring it up just now. I thought you were carrying his feelings out of him."
"Get lost!" Sun Yixie said, shaking his sore arm, and then sat on the ground, "Oh... what a bad luck. I thought I could have good food and shelter tonight, but instead, I ended up sleeping rough in the wilderness.
.”
"It would be nice to be able to live in the open for you." Huang Donglai helped Jiang Muchan put his luggage on the ground and continued, "That 'Fire Lotus Immortal'... that is, Shi Yanzi, he reported to the mountain gate,
Something doesn't sound right to me... I think he is indeed a demon from the Demon Sect. If we really fight today, even one-on-one, I may not be able to deal with him, not to mention that he has brought so many men with him.
You two are also surrounded."
"Then according to what you say, we can't cure this guy?" Sun Yixie asked, raising his eyebrows.
"If you can't cure it, you have to cure it." Huang Donglai said, "Before I saw the corpse today, the Fire Lotus Sect's matter was considered a 'nothing', so I just left it alone. But after seeing that guy... the situation was different.
Same thing." He paused for half a second and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "I, Huang Donglai, am an authentic Taoist sect and a descendant of Taoism. How can I sit idly by and ignore it when I see the devil making trouble here?"
"Okay, okay, I just went up the mountain and practiced the Twelve Truths with a bunch of lazy guys for half a year, and I still pretended to be good." Sun Yixie still understood him, knowing that at this time, he had to have someone to cheer him up, so as not to let others misunderstand this.
What a serious conversation.
"Both of you." But Jiang Muchan took Brother Huang's words seriously, "I also heard it. Since Huang Shaoxia has the intention to kill demons and defend the law, and Sun Shaoxia also has the intention to eliminate harm for the people, then we will kill him.
Well." He paused and continued, "Although I, Jiang Muchan, am not talented, I am definitely not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you two want to deal with this corpse, if you can use me, please
Just ask."
"Ha! Hahahaha..." At this time, Xiao Wuji, who was tied up and lying on the ground, suddenly laughed out loud for some unknown reason.
"Is there anything funny?" Sun Yixi could tell that the laughter was not good-natured, so he didn't give Xiao Wuji a good look.
"I laugh at you for being so naive." Xiao Wuji said, and with a strong effort on his waist, he sat up. It seemed that the strength of the medicine on his body had passed, "Do you think... except for the Great Fire Lotus Immortal, even for this?
Now that the harm has been eliminated, will the people of Jining be able to live a good life from now on?" After he said this, without waiting for the other party's answer, he shook his head and continued, "You destroyed the Fire Lotus Sect today.
, maybe the Water Lotus Sect, the Earth Lotus Sect will pop up tomorrow... they are still playing the same trick; the same is true in Jianghu, if you kill one evil person today, there will be ten more tomorrow. What you think you have done,
It's to help good people. In fact, where are there so many pure good people in this world? Maybe a person is still a good person today, but he will become a bad person tomorrow... What is the purpose of being a 'xia'? What's the point? So you want to serve the people
Please tell me that if you want justice, you might as well take the exam for the top prize."
His words sounded like the views of an "experienced person". Although they may not be correct, they are somewhat valuable for thinking.
Jiang Muchan was indeed thoughtful after hearing this.
But Shuang Xie doesn't follow his example. They are time travellers. Their accumulated age and experience in two lives are there. Their outlook on life, world view, and values transcend the limitations of this world's era.
Therefore, Sun Yixie's reaction to Xiao Wuji's words was just: "What you said... seems to make some sense, but I don't care. If you don't want to help, just shut up."
"Heh..." Xiao Wuji shrugged, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
He didn't dare to say anything more, because he knew that with Sun Yixie's virtue, if he made any more provocations, he would probably be forced to do it in his pants when he wanted to go to the toilet tonight.
Sun Yixie did not argue with him, and turned to Huang Donglai again: "Brother Huang, this time you have to deal with demons. This is your area of expertise. You can make a plan."
Huang Donglai also sat on the ground at this time, and responded in a long voice: "I was just thinking..."
This thought led him to think that the Fire Lotus Sect set up an altar in Jining Prefecture, and the Corpse Corpses fought against the Xudong Immortal.
