Chapter 51. The Western Swamp
The purpose of the Ghost King Sect to set a trap to capture the Xuan Snake is self-evident, although the Ghost King feels that the secret of the Four Spirits Blood Array is only known to the upper echelons of their Ghost King Sect, but how can Lu Zhi not know the ambition of the Ghost King Sect.
But before, Lu Zhi didn't care much about this matter, because he didn't think about making a move against the Ghost King Sect in a short period of time, after all, the existence of the Demon Sect such as the Ghost King Sect can still restrict Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple to a certain extent.
The good and evil factions fight each other and maintain a balance, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Wudang, the good and evil factions involve each other's attention and energy, and Wudang can also develop rapidly without pressure.
Therefore, in the long run, it is necessary for the Demon Sect side to exist, at least in the short term, they will be a hidden help, let them find trouble for those righteous path sects, and the two sides will consume each other, and it will be much easier for Lu Zhi to act in the future.
But this time, the Ghost King Sect dared to attack his Wudang Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, so naturally there was no need to say more!
Six days later, Lu Zhi, Xuangui, and Xiaobai came to the residence of the Ghost King Sect, Huqi Mountain.
But the Xuan Turtle did not sense the breath of the Xuan Snake, or rather, Huqi Mountain had already gone to the empty mountain, and there was no half of the Ghost King Sect disciples left.
It seems that when he was planning to capture the Xuan Snake, the Ghost King had already made all the preparations, and even gave up his own sect station.
Xuan Turtle said: "Sect Leader, it seems that the people of the Ghost King Sect have already expected that we will be looking for us, and they have already left in advance. ”
Lu Zhi was not too surprised, after all, with the ghost king's city and his scheming character, he must have made a series of preparations in advance.
However, this ghost king can indeed be called a sentence that can bend and stretch, in order to avoid Lu Zhi's after-the-fact liquidation, he actually retreated directly without a fight, and he didn't mean to be reserved and strong at all.
It stands to reason that with the strength of the Ghost King Sect, even if Lu Zhi wants to be an enemy of them, the Ghost King Sect's side will not be afraid, but he still chose the safest way, unwilling to confront Lu Zhi head-on and preserve his strength.
Lu Zhi shook his head and said with a pale face: "It doesn't matter, even if they have left Huqi Mountain, they can't hide forever after all." ”
Because of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury and the Yellow Bird that are about to appear, the Ghost King Sect and his party are destined to be unable to hide for too long, but when the time comes, Lu Zhi will naturally be able to find their traces, and then settle this account with them!
The three of them returned to Wudang Mountain again, and after returning to the mountain, Lu Zhi immediately summoned the seven true disciples under the seat.
"Xiaohuan, Li Quan, Han Feng, Wang Tieshan, you and the other four of you will immediately go to the inner disciples, select fifty people, and go to the Western Swamp with me to practice."
"Yang Wei, Yang Xiong, Wu Nan, you and the other three have not yet completed the exercises, so they will stay in the sect with Elder Xiaobai."
The vision in the Western Swamp has become more and more obvious recently, and two days ago, someone saw a golden pillar of light rising into the sky in the depths of the swamp, which did not disperse for a long time, indicating that the time for the birth of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury would not be too far away.
Presumably, the people of the Ghost King Sect were already preparing to leave for the Western Swamp at this moment, and it was the time to go to them for liquidation.
In addition, in the past ten years, the first batch of disciples under the Wudang Sect have also made great progress in their cultivation, and now it is time to go out and practice.
So this time, Lu Zhi simply took a group of outstanding disciples and went to the Western Swamp to see the world and accumulate experience.
However, Xiaobai and the ghost king have some origins, and the wife of the ghost king is a member of Xiaobai's family, so Lu Zhi asked him to stay in the sect and be responsible for protecting the sect from intrusion after they left.
Hearing that they finally had the opportunity to go down the mountain and explore the rivers and lakes, the expressions on the faces of several people were a little excited, but Yang Wei and Yang Xiong had not succeeded in their exercises, and they were not allowed to go down the mountain together, so they could only look at Xiaohuan with envy.
But this can't be helped, after all, it is indeed their own lack of Taoism, and they are a little lazy when they usually practice, and their cultivation has fallen behind, and they have no chance to go down the mountain to experience and practice.
Several True Disciple disciples were ordered to retreat, and when they returned to the door, they selected their companions.
The next day, looking at the dozens of energetic young disciples in the square, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he watched these disciples grow step by step under his nose, and now it was time to test the results.
Compared with those disciples in other sects, it often takes dozens or even hundreds of years to grow up, and their cultivation method of Wudang is not slow to enter the realm.
The elite disciples of these Wudang, even compared to those companion disciples of Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, are not the same, and the foundation is more solid, which is enough to prove that the inheritance of Wudang and the excellence of the cultivation method.
Lu Zhi originally wanted to say something and mobilize before leaving, but when he opened his mouth, he found that there seemed to be nothing to say, and he was not the kind of person who was used to making long speeches and 'saying a few simple words', so he simply avoided this link.
"Let's go!" I saw Lu Zhi raise his hand and wave, and his body turned into a golden light and fled into the air.
Those disciples in the square also chanted mantras one after another, using the flying escape method, or summoning magic weapons, flying into the sky, turning into streamers to catch up with Lu Zhi's back.
The disciples who can be selected to go to the Western Swamp to experience the cultivation have already reached the level of the Imperial Object at the lowest level, so naturally there is no need to worry about them not being able to travel in the sky.
However, the retreat of these disciples is a little slow, so it is bound to take a lot of time on the road, Lu Zhi came to the aid of the disciples, raised his hand to summon a gust of wind, so that the disciples can ride the wind, but it has increased the speed of travel a lot.
Half a month later, the Western Everglades.
The Western Swamp, located in the southwest of the land of China, is also known as the Death Swamp, so the vegetation is dense and the rain is abundant, breeding countless strange plants, poisonous insects and evil Gu.
The swamp was full of mud, and no one knew if the seemingly hard ground under their feet would be just a thin layer of floating soil, and if you stepped on it, you would sink deep into the mud and be swallowed up by the terrible mud swamp.
And who knows, under the seemingly calm swamp, will there be some fierce poison hidden, the crocodile python?
In addition, in the swamp of death, there is a miasma all year round.
If it's a sunny day, it's fine, but if the rain falls and washes away, the rotting mud and vegetation in the swamp, and even the bones of wild beasts, fish and insects, decompose countless poisonous miasma, almost enveloping the entire death swamp in it.
I don't know how many kinds of poisonous miasma mixed with the poisonous miasma, the toxicity is so fierce, it can be called terrifying, if ordinary people don't inhale the poisonous miasma, and there is no corresponding means to detoxify, within half a burn of incense, they will have to festering and die, becoming one of the countless rotten things in the swamp of death!
Even if you are a cultivator, if you don't hold your breath and breathe, or use your mana to resist and eliminate the poison in the poisonous miasma, you will definitely not be able to last for a few hours, and you will have to poison your lungs!
Therefore, this Western swamp has always been a dead place for people and animals, a Jedi!
Even if it is a cultivator, there are few people who set foot in it, unless they want to go to the death swamp to find some spiritual and poisonous insects, there will be special cultivators who are fully prepared and venture into it, but whether they can come out alive in the end depends on the creation.
However, just a month ago, in the swamp of death, there were frequent reports of various visions, which made people curious.
And as time went by, the visions from the depths of the Death Swamp became more and more amazing, and finally there was even a Heavenly Spirit Pillar rising from the center of the swamp, like a golden heavenly pillar, connecting the heavens and the earth, and the shocking vision of heaven and earth lasted for three days before slowly dissipating.
Ordinary people may not know what that amazing vision is all about.
But for the practitioners, it is undoubtedly the manifestation of some earth-shattering and strange treasure in the world... And the heavenly and earthly treasures that can elicit such an amazing vision will definitely not be ordinary mortals!
So, for a while, this inaccessible Western swamp, in the past few days, I don't know how many cultivators have been attracted, righteous paths, demon sects, scattered cultivators, and even ordinary people who have no cultivation in their bodies, but just have a longing for the gods.
These people came one after another, making this long-calm Western swamp rare lively, and no one knew what kind of undercurrent was surging under the calm surface.
