Chapter 071: Crescent Hotel
The Crescent Hotel is the largest hotel in Jiangcheng County.
Its interior and exterior walls are painted with colorful patterns of small pale blue squares, surrounded by gilded, ornate frames, and delicate flowers and fruits carved on the corners. The ceiling of the hall is painted with a golden caisson and a cluster of lights in the middle, dotted with light bulbs between the glittering prisms and gilded stucco leaves.
The floor of the Crescent Hotel is waxed, polished, and glowing reddish, and mirrors are mounted all around. This private room of the Crescent Hotel is all carved and repaired in white marble, with red curtains, shiny intarsia floors, and many tables in the middle of green columns, and white tablecloths with gold, silver, and glassware glittering.
On the high platform was a long table, about a hundred feet long from one end of the hall to the other, and the rest of the tables were arranged in rows at right angles to the high platform. Two gigantic chandeliers hang from the high red and gold ceilings, and the countless round lamps of frosted glass on the chandeliers shine brightly. On the walls there are also ornately decorated sconces that shine brightly.
"Xiaobai, I really didn't expect it to be you!" Chen Sandao's tone was surprised, and there was a lot of sentimentality.
"Master, the apprentice misses you so much." Xu Xiaobai protected Chen Sandao's thigh and cried.
Chen Sandao helped Xu Xiaobai up, and the two sat down.
Chen Sandao asked Xu Xiaobai: "You went to catch it with Xiao Hei back then, why didn't you come back later?" ”
Xu Xiaobai said: "I did go with my brother to catch it back then, but I didn't expect its spell to be too high, and my brother and I couldn't destroy it. Instead, we both lost our lives in vain. After we died, we came to the underworld, and Lord Yama promised me and my brother the errand of the soul envoy because we had accumulated a lot of yin virtue in catching demons and eliminating demons in the yang world. We are now doing things for Lord Yama in the underworld. ”
Chen Sandao said happily: "It's okay, it's okay." Cultivators can cultivate the Tao no matter where they are, and you can get the favor of Lord Yama, and you are really happy for you as a teacher. ”
"This is thanks to the master's careful teaching."
Chen Sandao and Xu Xiaobai, the master and apprentice, have not met for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will talk a lot after the reunion, so I have to sit next to me and wait quietly.
"By the way, what about Blackie?" Chen Sandao chatted with Xu Xiaobai for a long time and didn't see Xu Xiaohei come in, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Brother, he should be going to collect the unjust soul of the dead in vain." Xu Xiaobai said, "In the past few days, more and more people have died in Jiangcheng, and my brother suspects that it may be doing it again." ”
I finally chimed in and asked, "What the hell is that thing you two are talking about?" ”
Chen Sandao replied: "It is the alien god you are talking about, and it is generally called 'Jiaolong' in our Maoshan Dao faction."
Dragon?
It's not that I haven't heard of it, I clearly remember that Jiaolong is actually a water beast with dragon bloodline that can almost be cultivated into a true dragon. It only needs to survive the tribulation to turn into a true dragon, although it has great power. It is precisely because it is only a little bit close to cultivating into a true dragon that many dragons will use some means of quick success to promote their cultivation.
Some Jiaolong was removed from the immortal world because of their bad methods, and they were never hired, becoming alien gods who could never cultivate into immortals.
I guess that the Jiaolong in Chen Sandao and Xu Xiaobai's mouths must belong to the type that wants to cultivate into an immortal because they are in a hurry.
"So this god has so much to do with you?" I'm a little dissatisfied, he Chen Sandao has such a profound Taoism, and he has been indifferent to letting Jiaolong do disaster for more than ten years.
If Chen Sandao could have stepped forward in time, he might have been able to prevent many tragedies from happening.
"Speaking of this dragon, it's really a mess of my faction." Chen Sandao stood up and said heavily, "Jiaolong, he is actually my junior brother. When he said this, his expression was very heavy, and he seemed very reluctant to say this, but now he had to say it.
He was silent for a long time before he said: "Jiaolong, he has a name in the world, called Aotian, he is a closed disciple of the first master, and he is also my little junior brother. He is a talented person, and what others can learn in a year, he can usually learn in a month. Therefore, within a month, he was one of the top Taoist priests in Maoshan Dao. ”
"About 20 years ago, the first teacher realized that he was not long dead. So, he wanted to find the next head of Maoshan Road. To this end, the first division held a martial arts competition. Aoten won the tournament as a matter of course. Aotian thought that if he won the victory, he could be the head of Maoshan Road, but who knew that the ancestor gave Aotian a task - to go down the mountain to experience the people's feelings. ”
Aotian was very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's orders, so he went down the mountain like this. It's been almost three years. Three years later, Aotian returned, but he had changed. He was emotional. Love is the first taboo of monks. Aotian has committed this biggest taboo. When he came back this time, he didn't want to regain his life, but wanted to accept the punishment of his ancestors. ”
"We didn't know what kind of woman Aotian fell in love with at the time, but we knew that the ancestor was very angry when he knew the woman Aotian loved. In a fit of rage, the ancestor locked the demon suppression tower of Maoshan Road tightly, and at the same time, the ancestor also pasted the most powerful demon suppression spell of Maoshan Road in front of the demon suppression tower. The first teacher is trying to force the little junior brother Aotian into a dead end. ”
"After Aotian was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, everyone thought that this matter was over. Who knows, half a month later, there was a brightly dressed femme fatale outside the mountain gate of Maoshan Road, and there was a baby in her arms who was born less than half a month old. The mother and son knelt down outside the mountain gate, and begged the ancestor to release Aotian and reunite their family of three. ”
"Aotian privately marrying people is a matter of Maoshan Road, and now that the troubles have come to the door, the ancestor is even more furious. He ordered his disciples to drive the femme fatale and her child away, and then set up a sword formation outside the mountain gate. Once the femme fatale approaches, ten thousand swords will be fired in unison, piercing the femme fatale through the heart. ”
Chen Sandao said this, unwilling to say any more, he walked to the table and took a sip of tea.
Xu Xiaobai asked puzzledly: "Aotian and the femme fatale are lovers and eventually become married, why did Master Zu stop and break up their lovers?" ”
Chen Sandao shook his head after hearing this, and said heavily: "If this woman is an ordinary person, it's fine." But this woman is not human, she is the natural enemy of the Taoist priest, the feud—"
"Zombies?" I couldn't help but ask, the feud of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan is a zombie, is the feud of the Taoist priest also a zombie?
Chen Sandao nodded and said, "Zombies, gathering the resentment of heaven and earth, are born out of bad luck." Immortal, immortal, immortal, abandoned by the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man outside the six realms of sentient beings, wandering and displaced. The body is stiff, in the world, he uses resentment as strength, feeds on blood, and uses the blood of all beings to vent endless loneliness. After years of evolution, zombies are no longer walking dead zombies, they have evolved like humans, and it is difficult to distinguish them if they are not experts. ”
