Chapter 6: The Maoshan Conference (II)
?
What a terrifying word, everyone present hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen to Situ Wenming's introduction. "The New One Sect has been good at using fire Taoism since ancient times, but what is surprising is that this time the New One Sect has a total of more than 800 people up and down all died in the fire, and a huge sect was almost burned to the ground, but in some of the corpses that have not been burned, we actually found a trace of the spread of evil energy. ”
"Evil spirit, could it be that this tragedy of the New One Sect's extermination of the 'Gate' was the work of a demon?" asked the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, who was also the old man, curiously.
"It's hard to say for sure, because not only is the evil spirit appearing, but we also found it on the spot. As he spoke, the old man on the side took out a small bottle from his arms, he pulled off the cork and used his mana to 'force' the little guy inside, only to see a blood-red 'flesh' worm struggling to run out of the bottle.
As soon as Yuan Shuai saw this thing, he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a vampire Gu!" Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Yuan Shuai's side, and saw the old man nodding at him, so Yuan Shuai introduced to everyone: "This big 'meat' insect is a kind of Gu beast cultivated by Miao Jiang Gu Magician, called Vampire Gu, as the name suggests, this little guy is 'sexual' greedy and likes to suck blood, and he has an amazing amount of food, a finger-sized vampire Gu can even suck a big adult buffalo dry." ”
Hearing Yuan Shuai's introduction, everyone was immediately full of fear of this inconspicuous big 'meat' worm, and then the old man forced a smaller white 'colored' 'meat' insect out of another bottle, but this time Yuan Shuai couldn't recognize the identity of the white 'color' 'meat' worm, the old man said, "This is also a kind of Gu beast, called a puppet Gu, which is used by Gu magicians to specialize in 'manipulating' and controlling other creatures or" However, as far as I know, there are not many people in the world who can cultivate this kind of evil thing, but just a few months ago, when we were ordered to investigate the Soul Death Array, we accidentally found a person with a vampire Gu and a puppet Gu. ”
Yuan Shuai knew very well who the old man was talking about, but he didn't expect that in this seemingly bizarre 'door' tragedy, traces of the Maoshan cult were gradually discovered.
"The person who carried the bloodsucking Gu and the puppet Gu was named Jin Jiayang, who was a very famous Gu magician and high priest of the original generation of the Black Miao Clan, and was known by the locals as 'Evil Luo' and 'Rada', which means messenger who can communicate with demons. In the early years, he appeared in the northern territory and caused a lot of turmoil, and then he disappeared for a while, but when we met him not long ago, we found that he had actually joined the Maoshan Cult Organization, and was given the surname Nangong to become an out-and-out apostle of the Nangong Cult!" the old man continued calmly.
"Maoshan Cult! Nangong Situ!" are some extremely unfamiliar words, but for those disciples who are older or have a relatively high status, the term Maoshan Cult Organization is not unfamiliar, and the reason for this is that the Maoshan Cult not only has some Maoshan apostate disciples in the past dynasties or practice some Maoshan dark and terrifying evil arts, but also absorbs a large number of disciples from other 'sect' sects who have apostated, so that is to say, the Maoshan Cult is actually a large number in the final analysis. An organization fused by the apostate disciples of the sect, but the leading figure in it was the Nangong Tiexin group named after the Nangong Apostle.
"These guys from the Maoshan Cult have actually started to 'want' again, so the tragedy of the New First Sect's extermination of the 'Gate' may also have a lot to do with them. The old man analyzed carefully.
On the other side, Yuan Shuai, who was in the crowd of the second-generation Qing characters, also felt that this matter was absolutely inseparable from the Nangong apostles, judging from the Gu beasts and evil qi that were discovered, Nangong Yang, who had Gu cultivation skills, and Nangong Hao, who had ghost control skills, were instantly included in the ranks of criminal suspects by Yuan Shuai.
At this time, the Maoshan Zhangjiao Xuantong Zhenren, who had been listening, finally began to express his opinion, he said: "All living beings are equal, regardless of whether it is the Maoshan cult or not, this new sect exterminates the 'door' tragedy has sounded the alarm for our various Taoist sects, this sect hereby summons all the representatives to come, first, to remind everyone to be vigilant to avoid the tragedy repeating again, and second, to gather all the 'Jing' Ying disciples is to recruit a group of brave and humane law from them." The disciples of Jing Zhan and the two elders of Xuanqing and Xuanming sent by me entered the realm of the New One Sect again. Due to the fact that the last visit was too hurried and there were a large number of deceased, Elder Xuanqing Xuanming did not have time to collect the corpse and conduct a detailed investigation, so this time he once again summoned the disciples of all factions to go to the New One Sect to investigate the cause of the tragedy of destroying the 'Gate', and by the way, he also buried those fellow Daoists who unfortunately died. ”
The meaning of Xuantong Zhenren is already very clear, but all the disciples in the audience also understand that this mission can be said to be dangerous, what kind of power or monster makes a big 'sect' sect not leave a single living mouth, not to mention that it is related to the Maoshan Cult with strange whereabouts and ruthlessness, so everyone present is silent and does not dare to take the initiative to ask for help.
Yuan Shuai looked at the old man, only to see that the old man was looking at him with a pitiful face, his intention was very clear, Yuan Shuai shook his head helplessly, he knew that this time it would definitely not be so easy to go to Maoshan Mountain, and sure enough, he had to be arrested by the old man and used as a strong coolie.
"Uncle Qi is in charge of the 'door', the disciple is willing to follow the master to go with him!" Yuan Shuai had no choice but to pretend to be righteous and Ling Ran took the initiative to ask for help.
"Qi Yu is in charge of the 'Gate' Master, and the disciples are also willing to go to the New One Sect with the Master. Sun Yan followed closely behind Yuan Shuai and said.
"Hmph, Shenxiao sent Zhang Xiao to take the initiative to ask for his life to go together!" Seeing Yuan Shuai come forward, Zhang Xiao also stood up as a matter of fact, and Zhang Hongjing on the side pulled down his son's sleeve with a displeased face, but how could he tolerate Yuan Shuai shining in front of everyone with his arrogant personality.
"Wu Guang, a second-generation disciple of Maoshan, is willing to go with his uncle. ”
"Quanzhen Sect Chen Daoyang asked for his order to go with him. ”
For a while, there was an endless stream of disciples who signed up, and it seemed that Yuan Shuai and others took the lead, and the disciples of other 'sects' also followed the rudder when they saw the wind.
Xuantong Zhenren nodded at Yuan Shuai with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Okay, there are successors to the Taoist sect, this is really a fortunate thing for our Taoist sects, but I also want to remind you disciples here, this time to go to the new sect can be said to be full of dangers, because what awaits you don't know what kind of obstacles will be encountered, so I hope that those who have the ability will be given priority, this time we decided to send a total of ten disciples to the new sect to ask you to do what you can." ”
Then everyone discussed some details again, and then elected eight 'Jing' Ying disciples to follow the old man and Situ Wenming to prepare to go to the new sect the next day, after the meeting ended, the old man called Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan, who were about to go back, and took them to the wing room at the back of the main hall, only to see that in addition to Xuantong Zhenren, there were several of the most respected elders of Maoshan inside.
"Disciple Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan met with the master and the elders in charge. ”
Xuantong Zhenren smiled at the two of them, waved their hands and asked them to sit down, and said: "I have been listening to Xuanqing and Xuanming's two junior disciples constantly praising you, and you also performed well in the Soul Loss Array incident at the beginning, so this incident of the New First Sect, we will unanimously elect the two of you to follow your master." ”
Yuan Shuai was still relatively calm in front of the first generation of Maoshan Sect Masters, and he replied, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Sun and I will work hard to assist Master Hao to find out the truth behind the scenes of the New First Sect." ”
"Well, that's good, but I have one more thing to tell you next, and this matter is very important, so the entire Maoshan is only known to a few elders here. ”
Xuantong Zhenren's mysterious tone aroused Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan's great curiosity, and they only heard Xuantong Zhenren say: "We are not only going to the New One Sect this time to investigate the tragedy of the New One Sect's extermination of the 'Gate', but also to find a treasure in the New One Sect. ”
"Treasures?"
"That's right, it's an ancient jewel that has been handed down from the New Sect through the ages, and it's called 'Red Flame Pearl'."
Yuan Shuai was taken aback, and he immediately thought of the blue 'color' Haichen bead and the green 'color' unknown bead he carried in his Sumeru pocket.
The old man saw the suspicion in Yuan Shuai's heart on the side, so he answered for him: "Little Yuanzi, you guessed correctly, the two orbs you are carrying are also two of the five ancient spirit beads, the Haichen Bead and the Bright Spirit Bead. ”
"Haichen Bead and Bright Spirit Bead!" Yuan Shuai then knew that the small green 'colored' bead was originally called Bright Spirit Bead, and the old man then answered for Yuan Shuai, "We don't know why you carry two ancient orbs, but it seems that they have already recognized you as the master, maybe all this is the will of heaven, now I will tell you a legend about the five ancient spirit beads......
Legend has it that the ancient Emperor Xuanyuan and the Demon Venerable Chiyou fought a decisive battle with Zhuolu, the two sides fought in Zhuolu for several months, and the Xuanyuan Emperor relied on his subordinates and the help of the five divine beasts Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and Qilin to finally defeat the Dongyi tribe of Chiyou, but the demon god Chiyou refused to face the reality of his failure, so he waved the mountain axe in his hand before he died, and the earth was cut through a crack.
Immediately after that, a large number of undead creatures emerged from the rift, and the five divine beasts under the command of Emperor Xuanyuan turned into five orbs to eliminate the undead creatures that emerged in order to save the people from being ruined, and sealed the rift, and guarded there for generations.
Speaking of this, the old man glanced at the stunned Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just a legend, as for how these five spirit beads came from, no one can say, but one thing is true, it is said that after accumulating five spirit beads, you can exert a power similar to 'god', and have a magical effect that can bring the dead back to life!"
