What I didn't expect was that the old Taoist priest seemed to have expected it. The moment the dagger was about to hit his face, Feng Tianlu grabbed Chang Ertian's scabbard like lightning.
The moment he grabbed the scabbard, the old Taoist priest smiled evilly at me, indicating that he had grasped my lifeline.
However, just as the old Taoist priest's smile appeared, the dagger was thrown out of the scabbard and flew towards his face.
At such a close distance, and because Feng Tianlu was unprepared this time, he had no time to dodge, and the skin on his face was cut open by the edge of the dagger.
Although the face was cut by the dagger, no blood flowed out. Instead, another layer of skin was found inside the wound on the face.
This Feng Tianlu is also fake. He wears a human skin mask of an old Taoist priest.
Others who had the same reaction as me were several people brought over by the old Taoist priest.
After discovering that their leader was not him, these people were shocked, turned around, and surrounded him.
After realizing that his companion was looking at him in a wrong way, the 'old Taoist priest' reached out and touched his face that had been melted away. Then he laughed and said in a self-deprecating tone:
"Hahaha
This time I really took care of everything except this sudden change.
Okay, okay
I originally thought that this face would last until the end, but now it seems that it won’t.”
While speaking, the 'Old Taoist Priest' stretched out his hand along the wound opened by the dagger and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a very thin, skeleton-like face.
This face is all too familiar to me. There was a time when this face was like a nightmare, haunting me from my previous life - Hirotake Aizawa.
The true identity of the 'Old Taoist Priest' turned out to be He Nanxing, the Beiluo Shenwu Heavenly Official who was deprived of his immortal status by the Emperor of Heaven not long ago and was declared never to enter the Heavenly Court.
I haven't seen this guy for a long time. I thought he was hiding somewhere and was just waiting to fend for himself in this life.
Unexpectedly, he disguised himself as the old Taoist priest Feng Tianlu, colluded with the evil spirits outside, and attacked the Erlang Temple together.
This grandson is no longer a god, so he broke the jar and broke it?
Among those 'little Taoist priests', there was also someone who knew what he was doing. The little Taoist priest who was infuriated by Zhuge's righteousness turned back and stared at He Nanxing. After taking a breath, he said to him:
"Old man, you are the Beiluo Shenwu Heavenly Official - He Shenxian?
When a junior says something that shouldn't be said, what do you mean?
If it weren't for your contact, we wouldn't have come to such a dangerous place.
It was agreed that while the gods from Erlang Temple leave, we would take advantage of them and rob them of their collection of immortal weapons, magic weapons and genius treasures.
As a result, the advantage was not taken, and the Taoist priests from Erlang Temple began to counterattack midway.
Almost all of our people were lost in Erlang Temple."
This person's tone was not kind. He obviously knew that He Nanxing was no longer a god, and there was no disrespect in his words.
He Nanxing was not annoyed. He smiled at the Taoist priest who was speaking and said:
"I am no longer a Beiluo Shenwu Heavenly Official, let alone a god.
He's just a monk who's just waiting to die. You don't need to be so polite and call him an old man.
Fellow Taoists, don’t you understand?
The reason why we visited Erlang Temple this time was not for the genius treasures, magic weapons, and immortal weapons here.
I have no shortage of those things. I will give you whatever you want after we leave Erlang Temple.
Do you want the White Bone Flag? Do you want the Jingyuan Zhidao Pill? Do you want the Pingxian Sword?
I can give it to several fellow Taoists, as long as you can help me bring this His Highness out."
When he said this, He Nanxing turned to look at me, took a deep breath to calm down, and then continued:
"If it weren't for this person, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
I am still a god in the sky, and I am still the divine and powerful Heavenly Official of Beiluo - He Nanxing!
The result is that because of such a little thing, I was kicked out of my immortal status! This is what happened."
Seeing He Nanxing gritting his teeth, I couldn't help but say:
"Old He, don't slap the shit basin on my head!
Didn't you ask for the fact that you were kicked off the immortal status and will never be able to return to heaven to become an immortal?
You deceived Yang Jian and Wu Jun, and without evidence, you secretly checked the special train of King Yama.
The Emperor of Heaven wants to give some face to King Yama, but why do you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and move the King of Yama just as you say?
I'm just a freeloader. You don't dare to go after King Yama, so you give me a heavy discount to cause trouble for me?
Does your being expelled from immortal status have anything to do with me?
What? Seeing that I was adopted as the adopted son by the Emperor of Heaven, I finally took advantage of it and all the losses were taken by you. You feel unbalanced and want to kill me?
Do you really think that the adopted son of the Emperor of Heaven is a vegetarian? Or do you think that he was just knocked out of his immortal status, you don’t think it’s enough, and you plan to upgrade yourself to Hun Fei San?”
He Nanxing was not angry even after I snatched the advantage. He chuckled at me and said:
"My Lord, the adopted son of the Emperor of Heaven, do you think I just want to take revenge on you?
You have underestimated me, He Nanxing. No matter how bad I am, I am still an immortal who once served as the Heavenly Official of Beiluo Shenwu.
Now that we've reached this point, I'm not afraid to say it openly, I'm sure you are Guangwu Heze."
After he said the last half of the sentence, the faces of the Taoist priests who followed him became strange.
They looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts with their eyes.
It seems that these ordinary people also know Guangwu Heze.
After He Nanxing paused, he continued:
"Although you have whitewashed yourself in previous lives, this matter seems impossible, but under the operation of King Yama, it is not impossible.
Why did you accidentally enter Luoshen Temple and disappear from the human world for three years? You had no choice but to stay with Buliuxian.
This is all your little trick, just to become Guangwu Heze again.
It's just that your status is noble now, no god dares to check you again.
But they don't dare, but I, He Nanxing, don't have such worries.
I'm not even a god anymore, so what should I be afraid of?
Just take you out, and then I will use my exclusive method to treat you well
As long as you can prove that you are Guangwu Heze, isn't it a small matter to return to heaven and become a god?
At that time I will no longer be the Beiluo Shenwu Heavenly Official, I will at least be the Beiluo Shenwu Shenjun."
Having said this, He Nanxing turned to look at his subordinates and continued to say to them:
"Do you all understand? Do you plan to continue to wear the evil hat and live like a pig or a dog in this life and the next?
You should still follow me, as long as you prove that he is Guangwu Heze, you will follow me to heaven to become a god."
