Chapter Ninety-Three: Despair
However, the peaceful but fulfilling life of the two was finally broken.
The war dragged on, and even paradises such as Longhu Mountain could not be spared. A group of rebellious troops in the name of "Huayuan" broke into Longhu Mountain and forcibly expropriated rice and grain. Longhu Mountain is in charge of teaching jade machines, so naturally he can't sit idly by, but he is soft-spoken and low-minded, not only did he not succeed, but he lost his life.
When the other disciples came to the back mountain and told Jiang Luo Erzhen the news, the two of them were struggling to understand the book. In fact, not long ago, the two of them had reached a peak in the creation of this book, and they could clearly feel that there was something unusual about this book. However, the two of them just couldn't understand it, and in front of their eyes, there seemed to be an invisible obstacle that made them stop in front of the book, unable to move an inch.
Yu Jizi is Jiang Zhenren's proud disciple, just like Wu Gongzhi is to Jiang Zhenren, these Taoists have no heirs, and their love for their disciples is like their own children.
When the disciple told the news of Yu Jizi's death, Jiang Zhenren was in a state of confusion for a while, and an unparalleled grief welled up in his heart.
The disciple hurriedly went out to find someone, and Luo Zhenren was also in turmoil, and was busy combing the meridians for his senior brother. At this moment, something happened that the two of them could not forget for the rest of their lives. When Luo Zhenren just helped Jiang Zhenren up, a strange "bang" sound came from behind Jiang Zhenren.
Luo Zhenren looked at it, and it was actually the Dao Mantra, emitting a dazzling red light, a pool of blood, which was shrinking violently, and it was the mouthful that Jiang Zhenren spit out just now.
The blood stains became less and less, and finally they were all absorbed by the scriptures, like a bloodthirsty demon. Then, this Dao mantra turned into a bloody light and burrowed into Jiang Zhenren's body.
Jiang Zhenren's eyes opened suddenly, Luo Zhenren couldn't forget that kind of gaze in his life, bloodthirsty, brutal, and with a kind of cunning, Jiang Zhenren stared at Luo Zhenren and said expressionlessly, "Demon Tiangang, the earth is evil." Then, he grabbed Luo Zhenren's hand, and with a slight stroke, a bloody mark slipped out of his finger, Luo Zhenren's bleeding hand was forcibly pressed onto another Dao mantra, and the scene just now appeared again, but at this time, Jiang Zhenren's eyes had returned to clarity.
He looked at Luo Zhenren who was grabbed by his hand in a daze, and was about to ask, but the other party looked expressionless and shouted at him, "Heaven is ruthless, and the earth is permanent." That voice, loud and loud, surprised Jiang Zhenren. But soon, Luo Zhenren returned to normal, and after they told each other what had just happened, they suddenly found that there were more things in their minds that they had never known, first of all, they knew the name of the Dao Mantra in their body, which was called "Earth Demon Book".
The two were pleasantly surprised to find that there were a large number of lost ancient Taoism, formations and alchemy methods in the book, Luo Zhenren's body was the first volume of the Earth Demon Book, focusing on the formation, while Jiang Zhenren's was the second volume, focusing on pills, and there were even some secrets that they couldn't imagine in this book.
The two didn't have time to exchange information between the two sides, so they tacitly came to Zhengyiguan, and in front of everyone, they used the supreme Dao method to personally kill those rebellious troops and avenge Yujizi.
Speaking of this, Luo Zhenren stopped, sighed, and said, "However, neither I nor Senior Brother thought that this was the beginning of the nightmare, if I hadn't obtained the Earth Demon Book, Senior Brother would not have become what I am today, and I would not have to live on a chair for the rest of my life, as well as my father-in-law and those disciples-" Speaking of the back, Luo Zhenren couldn't go on, and his sad tone gave people a sense of desolation.
Seeing Luo Zhenren staring at his legs in a daze, Wu Song was also a little sad in his heart, he didn't expect that the source of everything turned out to be the two mysterious Dao Mantra Sutras, or the Earth Demon Book.
At the same time, he also wondered in his heart, what happened after that, which would make the two brothers who had deep feelings turn against each other, how could the centipede Dao people become like that, and where did the Earth Demon Book come from.
A wave of unsettled, wave after wave, a series of questions, made Wu Song a little dazed, he continued to ask, "Real person, what happened after that, please tell the real person clearly." β
"Then, Senior Brother Jiang and I went to a tomb in Centipede Ridge according to the record in the book, and got the piece of Tiangang jade, and ...... And a shocking secret has been discovered. Luo Zhenren said briefly, but the excitement in his tone was not concealed at all.
Seeing that he mentioned the mysterious tomb, Wu Song suddenly felt a little flustered, and he asked, "What secret?" β
Luo Zhenren didn't answer, he stared at Wu Song for a while, and suddenly asked, "Layman, please answer me a question seriously, if I ask you to go to a terrible tomb that you can't imagine, will you go?" β
"No, it won't." Wu Song answered very thoroughly, he didn't know what Luo Zhenren's purpose was in asking like this, but in any case, if Wu Song wanted to return to that disgusting tomb, Wu Song would never go.
"Why?" Luo Zhenren's brows furrowed and asked.
"Because I've been to that place before, it's horrible, and I don't want to experience it again." Wu Song replied truthfully.
"What?" Luo Zhenren shouted, "You've already been there, and you're still able to come out, no, who are you?" Are you him? In the end, Luo Zhenren was a little incoherent, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Wu Song.
Looking at Luo Zhenren's appearance, he secretly thought, "This old man won't be scared crazy." However, in order to calm Luo Zhenren's excitement, Wu Song told his experience in the tomb one by one, starting from chasing and killing the centipede Taoist, to the phantom stone gate, to the cat man stone room, and finally until he jumped into the river and left, a series of things, Wu Song told in great detail, including every detail.
Listening to Wu Song, the vigilance in Luo Zhenren's eyes slowly disappeared, and he said, "So that's the case, I misunderstood the meaning of the layman, in fact, the "tomb" in the mouth of the layman is only the outer part of the tomb, you didn't even enter the tomb that day, what you see, compared with the real tomb, is just a drop in the bucket, maybe even I don't know what else is in the tomb." β
Wu Song remembered the black hole he saw that day, the breathtaking hollowness, as if it was right in front of him, and he suspected that it was the real entrance. But if what you see is only what is outside the tomb, then you don't know what is inside the tomb.
"I don't know what real people are asking me this question for? Do you want me to help with something? Wu Song faintly felt that Luo Zhenren seemed to be looking for his own help, what could he help, and why he would find him, he didn't have a little idea in his heart.
"Presumably the layman has already guessed it, I am looking for the layman, and I do have something to ask for. The reason why I say so much is also to let you have a number in your heart, but the prerequisite for everything is to find the Tiangang jade first, since the jade is in the senior brother, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and some things still have to wait for the Tiangang jade to be obtained, and then talk to the layman. β
"I don't know why the real person is looking for me for help, can't the others?" Wu Song had goosebumps all over his body when he thought of something related to the mysterious tomb, and he also wondered why the centipede Daoist and Luo Zhenren had to find themselves, couldn't the others be.
"The reason is simple." Luo Zhenren then replied, "Just because you are the body of Tiangang. β
"Tiangang's body?!" Wu Song was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this?" β
"The layman remembers that the day Gangyu sucked your essence blood and entered your body." Luo Zhenren said.
Wu Song is still very clear about Tiangangyu's entry into the body, but he is very curious, how did the other party know, so he asked, "That's right, there is indeed such a thing, but I don't know how the real person knows?" β
"Don't be surprised, I don't have the ability to anticipate everything, but I know that the first host of Tiangang Jade is the body of Tiangang, and the Yellow Nest hundreds of years ago is the same as Dutong, and it is also the body of Tiangang."
"Yellow Nest?!" When Wu Song saw him mention this man-eating maniac, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Huangchao eats eight million people, and the city is full of dead souls", his murderous name can be "comparable" to Bai Qi, the killing god during the Warring States period. Wu Song asked, "Could it be that Huang Chao also has something to do with Tiangang Jade?" β
"It's hundreds of years ago, since I didn't get Tiangang Jade, it's useless to talk about these things. It's better to wait until you get back the Tiangang Jade, and then talk to the layman in detail. Now, however, there is a matter of life and death, and I want to say to the layman, alasβI hope the layman will not be upset when he hears it, and that is why I will call the laywoman away. β
Seeing Luo Zhenren's sad face, Wu Song chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition, he forcibly held back his discomfort and said, "Real person, please speak." β
Luo Zhenren held a Dao seal, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't hear any sound, but Wu Song's ears clearly heard his voice, it turned out that Luo Zhenren was using the sound transmission technique, this matter, he only wanted Wu Song to know.
Luo Zhenren's lips moved slightly, but Wu Song's brows became more and more wrinkled, and after hearing this, his face gradually turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror and despair.
