Chapter 240: Xu Dongling's Past

"The cotton beast represents a kind of inheritance!"

"Inheritance?" Jiang Lai's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't understand what Xu Dongling meant.

"That's right!" the latter nodded affirmatively, "I know it sounds a bit bizarre, but it's all true. Cotton beasts are a very mysterious existence, they themselves have various abilities, if it is an adult cotton beast, calling the wind and rain, it is easy, no worse than a person in the Daomen. The beast we just encountered should be underage. Otherwise, we don't want to get out alive. ”

"As far as I know, the Cotton Beast has a very special ability, and that is to inherit memories and bloodlines. Because the lifespan of cotton beasts is very long, they can easily live for thousands of years by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to maintain their lives, as long as they do not encounter accidents. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai's heart couldn't help but move, when the cotton beast bit him before, he suddenly felt countless mixed information rushing into his brain, but those information were buried in the depths of his memory and could not be explored.

If it were someone else, he would definitely feel that Xu Dongling was talking nonsense, how could there be such a thing in this world, but he had experienced it himself, so he naturally knew that Xu Dongling was not lying. I didn't think that this beast still had such a peculiar ability.

That's right!

As he thought about it, his eyes lit up suddenly, and something came to mind. At the beginning of the Xiao family, as soon as he mastered the method of practicing qi, he found that there were countless things in his mind out of thin air, including the cultivation method of the Honghuang Taiyan Heart Sutra. Because of this, his cultivation speed can be proud of the others.

However, he has lived abroad for a long time and has never been in contact with cotton beasts, why did he get the inheritance inexplicably, is it...... Is it because of the tattoo on your back?

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Lai's doubts deepened in his heart, what secrets were hidden in the mysterious tattoo.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you thinking?"

Xu Dongling's voice pulled Jiang Lai back to reality, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said, "Mr. Xu, take the liberty of asking, how do you know this, could it be a secret passed down from your ancestors?"

"No, not really. Xu Dongling shook his head, "This matter has to be talked about decades ago......"

At the moment, Jiang Lai stood on the top of the mountain, with his hands behind his back, feeling the mountain breeze, while listening to the other party's past experience.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and when Xu Dongling's last word fell, Jiang Lai finally understood the antecedents.

More than 40 years ago, Xu Dongling, who followed his master's cultivation, had already become a well-known Taoist master. Moreover, he had just come into contact with magic weapons at that time, and he was bent on owning a magic weapon that belonged to him. It's just that the conditions at that time were limited, and the news was blocked, unlike now, if you want to find something, it is so convenient to check it on the Internet casually, or call someone to consult.

It took several years, but Xu Dongling never gained anything. Later, by chance, Xu Dongling participated in an auction and found that someone was bidding on a broken magic weapon.

It's a pity that he was not the only one who participated in the bidding, because of insufficient funds, he eventually lost his chance with that magic weapon. However, Xu Dongling's luck was good, and he accidentally got acquainted with the seller behind the magic weapon.

After going back and forth, the two gradually got acquainted with each other, and they didn't have so many scruples about each other. It wasn't until the two became friends that Xu Dongling knew that although his friend was knowledgeable and well-off on the surface, in fact, this person had been doing shady things behind his back.

All of this is done underground.

The money that guy made was actually ill-gotten gains, but I have to admit that that person was indeed a rich man, well-versed in the past and the present, and knew almost everything. Later, he learned that this guy could make a fortune because of his vast knowledge. In the vast historical materials, the man can always find some clues, and then find the existence of the ancient mausoleum.

The artifact that was put up for auction at auction was the stolen goods that the man had stolen from the mausoleum.

After learning the details of the other party, Xu Dongling deliberately stayed away and didn't want to have a deep friendship with him anymore. However, after a few years, the man suddenly found Xu Dongling and wanted to ask for his help.

Although Xu Dongling didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, because he had inherited that person's love before, he wanted to repay the other party and completely cut it off. After listening to the man's story, he realized that the other party had found an ancient tomb hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and he thought he could make a fortune, but what the man didn't expect was that the ancient tomb was extraordinary and dangerous, and many of his subordinates were damaged in it.

Such a strange ancient tomb, that person is the first time to see it, with a keen intuition, the other party feels that there must be a very valuable treasure hidden in it, so he came to Xu Dongling for help.

When Xu Dongling followed the other party to the ancient tomb, as a person in the Dao Gate, he immediately noticed that the surrounding environment was extraordinary, and those seemingly chaotic stones seemed to have formed a formation faintly, gathering all the surrounding heaven and earth aura.

At first glance, he suddenly became interested, if he guessed correctly, it was likely that the person buried in this ancient tomb was also a person from the Daomen.

Xu Dongling did not elaborate on the process of entering the ancient tomb, but judging from the solemn expression he revealed, it should be dangerous. In the end, he was the only one who escaped alive.

In that ancient tomb, Xu Dongling found several magic weapons, as well as many ancient documents, including records of cotton beasts. In addition to this, he also discovered a strange and mysterious pattern.

Even without asking, Jiang Lai could guess what that pattern was.

"Mr. Jiang, I might as well tell you the truth, over the years, a large part of the magic weapons found by Hongming Company were actually stolen from the tomb. In the literature I have obtained, there are many clues. However, the real purpose of my creation of Hongming Company is mainly to find the existence of cotton beasts. Because, in those documents, a horrific thing is recorded. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"This ......" Xu Dongling fell into hesitation and did not answer for a long time. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Jiang, I've said enough, in exchange, should you tell me why you're here." ”

Jiang Lai smiled slightly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pulled out a photo, and handed it to Xu Dongling, "Is the pattern you have seen before similar to this pattern?"

The latter looked at it twice, and his face suddenly changed, "So you ......"

"It's not just you, I've found some clues, but you know more than I do. Jiang Lai casually talked nonsense, and he was not afraid of being recognized by the other party.
