Chapter 3: The Demon Seed of Jingtian
Zhao Yanling shook her head and said, "Even if there is one within the mountain gate, I'm afraid people won't show it to us." β
Kong Xianglin smiled: "Who said it wasn't? If it were me, I wouldn't show it lightly to outsiders. β
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and said, "Hey, do you remember that the old man said that they still have manpower to monitor, do you think these patrolling people will see it?" If necessary, we'd better ask the disciples who have been patrolling these days. β
Zhao Yanling thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, but it's good to ask." If you don't mention it, I almost forgot one thing: I don't know if you noticed it at the time, after the two of us found the body, the master of Tiankui Sect led people to come as soon as possible. Don't you think he came too quickly? And his attitude was very strange at that time, don't you think he didn't seem surprised at all by Long Shan Weng's death, could it be that he already knew? β
Kong Xianglin frowned, and was about to speak, when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The two stopped talking, and Kong Xianglin said, "The door is not locked, please come in." β
"Don't bother, do you?" Bai Shujie's voice came in. With a squeak, he was dressed in a casual down jacket and camel leather cotton boots, pushed the door and walked in.
"Don't bother," Kong Xianglin said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." But aren't you a practitioner? How can you dress so thickly like us ordinary people? β
Bai Shujie glanced at Zhao Yanling curiously, and then said, "First, you are not an ordinary person at all, your name has now spread all over Tianmu Peak; Second, your brother and I are not a master of cultivation, I haven't learned the ability to resist frost, don't wear more, I'm cold! β
"Cut!" Kong Xianglin gave him a roll of his eyes, and then said, "I'm waiting for you!" You were mysterious in the morning, so you won't talk about it halfway, now it's time to make it clear, right? β
Bai Shujie looked at Zhao Yanling, Kong Xianglin knew what he meant, and said, "You can rest assured." β
Bai Shujie gave him a narrow look, as if to say: Okay, boy! One at home, another here! Then he asked, "I listened to you in the morning, and it seems that I don't plan to participate in the big competition?" β
Kong Xianglin said: "Yes! β
Bai Shujie raised his eyebrows: "If you don't participate in the big competition, what are you doing here?" Don't sue me sΓΉ you're just trying to open your eyes? β
Kong Xianglin smiled bitterly: "Of course not, the distance from Beiqin Sea for one day and one night, the fuel cost alone is more than 2,000 yuan, do you think your brother and I are so big, I have no place to spend money, come to open this kind of eyes?" β
"Then why are you wading through the muddy waters?" Bai Shujie asked puzzled.
"I said, are you here to deliver me a message, or are you here to set a message?" Kong Xianglin couldn't stand his verbosity and teased.
"Hey, isn't that what your brother wants to figure out what you're here for? Otherwise, if I have secret news like a treasure here, you already know about it, won't I become your laughing stock if I say it? Bai Shujie said.
"Poof!" Zhao Yanling finally couldn't help laughing: "The two of you have a 'your brother and me', who is the eldest of you?" β
Bai Shujie was stunned by her sudden smile, stared at her for a long time and couldn't speak, and only said with envy and hatred for a long time: "Lao Kong is really a good fortune!" β
Zhao Yanling's face turned red and gave Kong Xianglin a white look.
"Go, go!" Kong Xianglin rolled his eyes for no reason, sprinkled his anger on Bai Shujie, and said angrily, "If you have something to say, it's okay for Lao Tzu to change his clothes!" β
"Go to the bathroom!" Bai Shujie said, "You really don't know the difference between this big competition and previous years? β
Kong Xianglin knew that he had finally gotten to the point, and said with a solemn face: "I really don't know, we came here this time just to find Senior Long to do some personal things, but I didn't expect him to be killed." β
Bai Shujie frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Let him go in advance, and I'll talk about the news I got first."
As far as I know, this time the Great Contest of the Heavenly Master Gate will be the last Great Contest of the Heavenly Master Sect in decades. I heard that the master of the Heavenly Master Sect, Tiankui Daoren, got a few Jingtian Demon Seeds out of nowhere, and after this Dharma Fighting Conference was over, he would use the Jingtian Demon Seed in his hand to attack the Heavenly Dao again. He and several ninth-level masters of the Heavenly Master Sect will all close the life and death level, and they will not exit the level if they do not succeed in attacking the Heavenly Dao, so in order to balance the dissatisfaction of the various branches, the Tiankui Dao people have specially increased the winning reward of this big competition.
Moreover, it is rumored that he plans to take out three demon seeds as a reward for the top three in this big competition and distribute them to the best branches of his sect. β
"Jingtian Demon Seed?" Kong Xianglin looked dazed, "What is that?" β
Bai Shujie looked at him like an idiot: "Won't it?" Although you're not a cultivator, you don't even know the Jingtian Demon Seed, right? β
"What?" Brother Zhao's voice suddenly sounded in Kong Xianglin's heart, "There really is such a treasure in the world!" Tiankui, this old bull's nose is really generous, and he actually wants to reward the Jingtian Demon Seed to the top three? β
"You know this thing?" Kong Xianglin asked in his heart.
"Hey, cultivator's treasure, this is their treasure to break their heads!" Brother Zhao sighed and said, "Xianglin, if the rewards of the top three are really this treasure, we will get one anyway." β
"Why? What is this thing for? Kong Xianglin asked suspiciously.
"According to legend, in ancient times, Pangu opened the world, turned into mountains and rivers with his body, turned into flowers and trees with the hair of his body, and the nine long hair that grew in front of Pangu's forehead became the most spiritual spirit tree in the world, and these nine spirit trees are called Jingtian spirit wood." Brother Zhao explained.
"Jingtian Spirit Wood ......," Kong Xianglin frowned, "Could it be that the Jingtian Demon Seed is the seed of these nine Spirit Trees?" β
Brother Zhao groaned: "The legend is like this, who can find out!" However, the magic of Jingtian Lingmu is not a rumor, but a real thing. More than 100 years ago, there was a Taoist named Qingxu, I don't know where to get a Jingtian spirit wood, he refined it, and used the earth fire hundred converter furnace to refine a five-element hundred-turn golden pill, after he swallowed the golden pill, the aura between heaven and earth was agitated, and the five-colored auspicious clouds gathered, and the Qingxu Taoist people shattered the void and ascended to the Tao. β
"Really? It's like a myth. Kong Xianglin said in disbelief.
"This is true, this is what my teacher has seen with his own eyes, and it will never be fake!" Brother Zhao said affirmatively.
"Okay, even so, then what does this Jingtian Demon Seed have to do with that incident?" Kong Xianglin asked.
"Before the Qingxu Daoist shattered the void, he left nine seeds wrapped in purple auspicious clouds, and left a proverb saying that these nine seeds were the seeds of the Jingtian Spirit Wood, which was the legendary Jingtian Demon Seed. As long as you can unravel the secret of the demon seed, you can make the spirit wood reappear in the world. In other words, if you can figure out the secret of the demon seed, you can have the same chance to break the void and get a glimpse of the heavenly dao, just like the Pure Void Dao people. Brother Zhao said yearningly.
"So godly?" Kong Xianglin still couldn't believe it, could it be that a seed can make people become immortals, so don't you catch up with the elixir of Taishang Laojun! He asked suspiciously, "These nine seeds are now in the hands of the Heavenly Master Sect's Tiankui Old Dao?" β
"I don't know, although the Qingxu Daoist left a motto, no one knows where he put the demon seed, whether the demon seed in Tiankui's hand is one of the nine left by the Qingxu Daoist, only he knows. With the proverbs left by the Qingxu Dao people, all those who were lucky enough to witness the Qingxu Shattered Void and their descendants were convinced of this matter," Brother Zhao said, "I just don't know why Tiankui, the old bull nose, wants to take out the Jingtian Demon Seed as a reward for the big competition." It stands to reason that whoever gets this kind of treasure should hide and study it immediately! β
"Maybe he won't need it that much!" Kong Xianglin said to Brother Zhao in his heart.
Brother Zhao said in Kong Xianglin's heart: "No matter what his purpose is, since he releases the wind, we must get a demon seed, do you remember that I once said that the space of the seal needs to be replenished with the five elements, right?" This Jingtian Demon Seed is the seed of the Supreme Spirit Wood left behind when the world was opened, it can definitely meet the demand of the space for the power of Mu Xing, if you can get your hands on it, your seal space will definitely be able to evolve again. β
Kong Xianglin's eyes lit up, as if he saw a bright avenue.
The conversation between the two was in the heart, and the speed was extremely fast, so in Bai Shujie's opinion, Kong Xianglin was just silent for a few seconds.
Kong Xianglin raised his head, looked at Bai Shujie, and asked, "Is your news accurate?" β
"Of course it's accurate, don't you still believe my channel?" Bai Shujie said affirmatively.
Kong Xianglin nodded, Bai Shujie's channel naturally refers to the Bai family, and the Bai family, as one of the top alchemy families in China, is naturally well-informed.
"Dabi will start soon, and the reward list will naturally be announced at that time, and you will know whether my news is accurate or not." Bai Shujie said confidently, "How about it, this time you know why I asked you not to give up the opportunity of Dabi, right?" β
Kong Xianglin smiled helplessly: "Didn't you say it too?" The people of Tiankui Dao want to take the Jingtian Demon Seed as the reward for the top three, but it is not who participates in whom. This bit of strength of our Jiangshanmen, not to mention the top three, can hold on to the official big competition, even if it is the manifestation of the ancestors! β
According to the previous rules, the knockout round was to be held before the official big competition, that is, a large number of people who were obviously not strong enough had to participate in the competition in which the branches of the big competition were eliminated.
Bai Shujie's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "You are so unconfident in your sect? β
Kong Xianglin shook his head: "It's not that I don't have confidence, but that we are all just gangsters and businessmen, where can we have any spells?" β
Bai Shujie raised his eyebrows and said: "In the past, the big scores were individual competitions and team competitions, but according to reliable sources, this big competition will be very different from previous years, the specific rules are not clear, but it will be very different." β
