Chapter 113: The Cuckoo Captures the Nest
Two days later, in the East Cave Mansion of Taibai Sect, a stone door slowly opened, and a tall old man walked out.
He has gray hair, thick bones, and a beard, like barbs, and is the great elder of the Taibai Sect who retreats and comprehends the realm of Yuanying, Huo Houjun, who is 800 years old. The Taibai Sect has only been established for three hundred years, and there is no other immortal sect and old monsters, this Huo Hou Jun was invited by the Taibai Sect Master to come to the Taibai Sect as an elder for two hundred years, and he is the oldest person in the Taibai Sect.
He left the customs in advance, didn't tell anyone, and went directly to the Taibai Dao Hall in mid-air.
In the Dao Hall, Mu Jiu Ge had not yet appeared, Elder Liu Zhen went to deal with the external affairs of the Immortal Gate, only the Taibai Sect Master and Elder Baishi were still in the hall, and when they saw Huo Houjun enter the Dao Hall, both of them stood up and invited him to the unconscious Fang Gui's bed.
"Sect Master really doesn't know what's wrong with him?"
Huo Hou Jun slowly swept over Fang Gui's body, a wisp of spiritual breath penetrated into Fang Gui's body, and soon, that wisp of spiritual breath had been withdrawn, and his face became more and more heavy, like a yin 10,000-year-old Xuanbing rock that was about to ooze water.
"There is speculation, but there is no certainty!"
There was no surprise on Sect Master Taibai's face, and he just replied slowly.
Elder Baishi was also a little breathless, and arched his hand: "Great Elder Huohou, this kid is ...... now."
Huo Houjun suddenly interrupted him and said, "This is the third son of the Chess Palace!"
Elder Baishi's face was very ugly all of a sudden, and in this ugliness, there was a faint fear.
But more, he was puzzled, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "How could the third piece of the chess piece fall on a child?"
Sect Master Taibai sighed and did not answer.
Huo Houjun slowly raised his head, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "The name of the Chess Palace has spread all over the world, and no one knows it, and no one knows it, but has Elder Baishi ever heard of the Chess Palace's acceptance of apprentices?"
Elder Baishi looked a little stunned, for this chess palace that is messing up the world, almost everyone in the cultivation world knows about it, and they all know the characteristics of their actions, but in the same way, no one knows, but no one knows it well, the chess palace acts secretly, and there are very few people in the cultivation world who know where they come from, where they hide, and even why they have to cause trouble in the world......
I don't even know this, and I don't even know about the matter of the chess palace's acceptance of apprentices.
"The allusion to the cuckoo's nest, Elder Shiraishi always knows, right?"
Huo Houjun showed a complicated smile on his face, and said slowly: "The cuckoo is an evil bird, vicious by nature, after laying eggs, but does not hatch, but abandons the eggs in the nest of other birds, and when the chicks are born, they will push the eggs in the nest out of the nest one by one, monopolize the bait, only pity the ignorance of the birds, hard work, but the raised is an ambitious wolf, killing the enemy, is there a more tragic thing in the world?"
Elder Baishi was stunned when he heard it, he naturally knew about the cuckoo's seizure of the nest, but he didn't understand what Huo Houjun meant by mentioning it.
"The same is true for the chess palace to accept apprentices!"
Huo Houjun's expression was gloomy, and he said coldly: "The chess palace is in turmoil in the world, there are many disciples, but there are not many of them taught by themselves, they accept disciples, that is, they choose the best disciples in other immortal sects, and secretly plant the demon fetus, the immortal gate does not know, but still teaches hard, until these disciples grow up, or have a successful practice, or are in a high position, then the chess palace will be useful, and they will be summoned with secret methods, so that they will wake up from their big dreams and know their true identity, so they will destroy the slaughter master and put themselves into the ...... of the chess palace."
"Plant a fetus?"
Hearing this, Elder Baishi's expression changed drastically, and he glanced at Fang Gui on the couch in disbelief.
The secret of the Chess Palace that Huo Houjun talked about, he had heard of it for the first time, but the words of planting the demon fetus seemed to be very similar to Fang Gui!
"That's where I wondered......"
At this time, the Taibai Sect Master spoke slowly, and said: "If the arrangement of the Chess Palace this time is really just to secretly hide a demon fetus in the Immortal Gate, then with the means of the Chess Palace, it is impossible for us to detect it, maybe it was not until countless years later, when the Chess Palace made a move and summoned disciples, we knew that there was such a person lurking in the Immortal Gate, but now the problem is that this little disciple Fang Gui has just returned from the Demon Mountain, and he has already had an evil qi attack, unconscious, and at a glance, he knows that he has fallen into the evil art of the Chess Palace......"
His brows furrowed tightly: "The chess palace has been in turmoil for countless years, how can it leave such a flaw?"
......
......
This time, it was Huo Houjun's turn to be silent, and after a while, he said: "I don't know about this matter, but what is certain is that the person who left the demon fetus never thought that the demonic intent on this child's body would leak so early, maybe it was just because of his special physique...... Even because his qi and blood were too exhausted to withstand the pressure of the Demon Fetus Devouring Soul, he suddenly fainted and broke the flaw...... Otherwise, we would never have discovered his problem at this time!"
When the Taibai Sect Master heard this, he did not continue to speak.
He had also had similar speculations, and he had heard of the lack of Fang Gui's original qi and blood for a long time.
Demon Fetal Soul Devouring may have only been carried out without anyone noticing, either in one of Fang Gui's dreams, or when Fang Gui was cultivating a certain technique, but, probably the descendants of the Chess Palace didn't expect that Fang Gui looked amazingly talented and had an unlimited future, but in fact, he was so young that his origin qi and blood were so deficient, it was even worse than an old man!
It was precisely because his foundation was too shallow, so when the demon fetus devoured the soul, because of the battle between the gods and souls, the pressure skyrocketed, and he couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so he suddenly fainted, and was noticed by the Taibai sect master and others......
This is the closest speculation to the truth!
However, it was Elder Baishi, who was still in a state of panic at this time, and after pondering for a long time, he frowned and said in a low voice: "With such flaws, how can Elder Huo Hou be sure that this is the method of the evil disciples of the Chess Palace?...... Could it be otherwise?"
Elder Huohou was silent for a long time, and then a strange smile appeared on his face: "How can I be sure?" Haha, in the early years, I also had Taoist descendants and a family, and it was precisely because of my children and grandchildren that someone was planted with a demon fetus by the Qi Palace, so when the family was at its peak, it was tragically wiped out, and relatives were close to mourning, you say, can't I recognize this demon fetus?"
When he said this, his face was already cold, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the Taibai Sect Master: "You worked so hard to call me out of the customs, isn't it because you know that only I can determine whether this is a means of the Chess Palace?"
The Taibai Sect Master was silent.
Elder Shiraishi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Either way, it's good to know where it came from......"
After a while, Elder Baishi glanced at Fang Gui and said, "I don't know what method to use to solve ......"
"Easy!"
Huo Houjun glanced at Fang Gui, and suddenly raised his hand and patted it.
His palm contains endless mana, if it hits Fang Gui's body, where is there any luck?
Elder Shiraishi was startled, but he didn't have time to stop him.
At the critical moment, a Bai Chen's palm poked over and grabbed the palm of Huo Hou Jun, it was the Taibai Sect Master.
"At this point, you still want to stop me?"
Huo Houjun looked at the eyes of the Taibai Sect Master, his anger gradually rose, and he said sharply: "The Qi Palace acts, how insidious and vicious, if it is not something went wrong and is discovered by us in advance, then we will treat this son as the true inheritance of the Xianmen Sect, and when he is successful in cultivation, he will be under the command of the Qi Palace, and the chaos will be full of trouble, this is the danger of the Dao system being cut off, if you don't kill it quickly, what are you going to do?"
Sect Master Taibai shook his head slowly, and said, "After all, I found it in advance, maybe there is a chance to turn ...... turnaround."
"It's up to you, it's up to us, and you also want to solve the means of the Chess Palace?"
Huo Houjun shouted: "It's still killed, it's a hundred!"
When it came to the sentence of solving the means of the Chess Palace, the Taibai Sect Master was also silent, obviously he didn't have any confidence, but if it was said that according to Huo Houjun, he would directly kill this little apprentice, and he felt that something was wrong, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "He is the descendant of Jiu Ge, and he has made a contribution to this trip to the Demon Mountain, so I still asked Jiu Ge's opinion first!"
Huo Houjun did not back down, and said in a cold voice: "Where is the Nine Songs?"
The Taibai Sect Master was silent for a while, he had already been informed of the Nine Songs, but he had not shown up.
As soon as Huo Houjun saw the face of the Taibai Sect Master, he knew the answer, and sneered: "That person only knows the sadness of spring and sorrow, and he hasn't mentioned the sword again for a hundred years, what can he do if he is informed......?
In the end, he was already full of words, and shouted: "The Demon Fetus of the Chess Palace, no one dares to stay!"
"This ......"
Not to mention the Taibai Sect Master, Elder Baishi was already panicked, and he didn't know what to say.
"It doesn't matter if you dare or not, it doesn't matter if you should or not!"
Just when the three of them couldn't hold each other, suddenly a lazy voice came from the door of the temple.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw a lazy figure at the entrance of the hall, he was wearing dirty robes, his hair and beard had not been taken care of for a long time, and he was still carrying a wine gourd in his hand, as if he was about to get drunk, and the whole person was full of decadence, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was pushed into the main hall by a honest and honest young man.
"Makujiu Song?"
When Huo Houjun saw this man, he was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "You are finally willing to leave the back mountain!"
Sect Master Taibai also breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Mu Jiu Ge would really come over......
...... Although it looks like he was forcibly pushed over by Ah Ku, it is here after all!
"Come, or should come, just such a person who has learned the sword, and dies easily, what's the matter?"
Mu Jiu Ge entered the hall, came to Fang Gui's couch, glanced at it, and slowly shook his head.
I can't tell what his expression is, it seems to be a little regretful, but more of a gloomy face.
Huo Houjun stared at the curtain nine songs, and said in a deep voice: "Taibai Nine Swords, as long as you want to preach, you can teach as many people as you want, but the demon fetus of the Chess Palace will never be left, if you don't come, you will slap it to death with one palm, and if you come, you can't keep him either......"
Mu Jiu Ge was originally just lazy, but when he was drunk in the face by Huo Houjun's words, he seemed to be a little energetic.
"You can kill him!"
He glanced at Huo Houjun seriously, and then suddenly said lightly: "Then you kill him, I will kill you again!"
Huo Houjun was slightly stunned, and then became angry: "You ......"
"After all, you are not a Yuan Baby, not my opponent......"
Mu Jiu Ge smiled and said, "Besides, even if you break through the Yuanying realm, you only have three points to escape under my sword!"
"You...... You ......"
When Huo Houjun heard this, he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, and his palms trembled.
And Mu Jiu Ge didn't look at him at this time, he looked down at Fang Gui on the couch, and after a while, he said lightly: "Before he entered the Demon Mountain, I taught him a truth, people live in the world, what they get will be rewarded, he has been cultivated by the Xianmen, he has to serve the Xianmen, this kid is tricky and eccentric, but this truth is listened to in his heart, saying that after eating, he will work......"
"So before I left the mountain, he promised me to come back with a leader, and it turned out that he did a good job......"
Speaking of this, he looked up at the Taibai Sect Master and said with a smile: "He did what he had to do, and the rest is up to us......"
“...... He has already done his work, how can Xianmen not give him food?"
