Chapter 46 The Mist
"Why can't you intervene?" I said, "Old man Xuanxu, don't you still have many disciples? β
"One of the rules of the Imperial Boundary Mountain, disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain in the middle of the night, in other words, they are not allowed to go out and go down the mountain when they are young. β
"Heh, old man, are you playing with me? Is human life more important or rules more important?"
At the moment when I finished saying this, Chu Congjian appeared in the image formed by the white light.
"Hey, old man, isn't this rule of your mountain a big deal? Besides, why is someone stopping me?" Chu Congjian's nose was about to touch Xuanxu's face, "Speak!"
A disciple then rushed into the attic, knelt down on one knee and said, "Dao Chief, Master, the disciple can't stop him from going down the mountain, so he came here to seek reason." β
"Report to the master, the rest of the disciples have stopped the girl who was traveling with them in the rock pillar. Another disciple said.
"Got it, you guys get out of the way. Zhiqing took a long breath and said.
"From the time I saw my brother, you said a good thing, but this big thing is not another big thing. Facing Chu Congjian's snort, Xuanxu had to withdraw without authorization.
The attitude of the Xuanxu Daoist on this matter made me a little speechless, it was obvious that it was so simple to make a decision, but he actually had to hesitate again and again.
Syllable!
Chu Cong saw that he raised his hand and wanted to hit Xuanxu, but was pushed to the wall by Zhiqing with a palm.
"Ignorance kills, stinky boy!"
"Where is there so much hesitation and indecision! Let go and do your own thing, what's wrong?" Chu Congjian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "On the contrary, you two are old and stubborn, I want to go down the mountain now, and you won't allow it?"
"You will not be able to go down from now until dawn tomorrow. Zhiqing straightened his robe and said.
Chu Congjian thumped the broken left arm and said, "Fart! I'm going to find my sister now." β
"If you can withstand my next move, I'll let you go. Zhiqing stretched out a finger and said.
"Even if you come, I won't look for anyone who is afraid of you. Chu Congjian said ruthlessly.
Whoosh β
Zhiqing flicked up his sleeves, and a piece of rune paper floated out of his cuffs, and the paper was full of dense spells.
"Today, even the one who destroyed you will not let you go down the mountain. Zhiqing made a chanting pose.
"Zhiqing! Don't kill someone!" Xuanxu threw out a white-haired stick, trying to interrupt the spell cast by the talisman paper.
"Brother!" I shouted into the mirror.
The dark yellow rune paper that hung in the air gradually dissipated, and then turned into a bright blue thin light that merged into the white-haired stick in Zhiqing's hand.
"Xuanning icicle!"
With Zhi Qing's shout, the ice spikes that soared into the sky rose from the ground, and centered on the casting point, they grew forward in a straight line, and the speed was comparable to Yan Tianchen's black qi.
"Be careful!" Xuan Xuan shouted loudly, wanting to attract Chu Congjian's attention.
"Stinky old man, don't look down on me!" Chu Cong's pupils turned blood-red.
Chu Congjian picked up his right hand, and in just a second, a gray-black aura burst out of his body, wrapping his hand like armor.
"Stinky boy, if you want to blame it, blame you for not having that ability!" Zhiqing twisted out another piece of rune paper and said, "Be enlightened!"
"You should be enlightenedβit's you dead old man!" Chu Congjian punched horizontally.
Several huge ice spikes protruding diagonally forward collided with the fist.
Boom β
A fist-sized hole broke in the middle of all the ice spikes, and then, the fist wind brought out by Chu Congjian's punch pierced through the hole and shattered the second rune paper. The moment the fist was closed, the ice spikes shattered into several Xiaoice pieces, and scattered all over the ground with a clatter.
"I didn't expect it...... This kid actually has demonic energy in his body......" Zhiqing's hand that had twisted the talisman paper trembled.
The gray-black demonic qi dissipated, and Chu Congjian lowered his bleeding right hand naturally, and said, "Haha, old man, you want to let me go now......"
Before he finished speaking, blood flowed from the bridge of Chu Congjian's nose again.
"Regarding Gu Shuxue's absorption of demonic qi, I didn't say that she completely stripped him of his demonic qi. Xuan Xuan looked at the fallen Chu Congjian and said, "If that girl completely sucks away the demonic qi, it will cause her to go mad." β
"Xuanxu, do you think I'm too extreme?"
"Alas, I'm no better either, I've been stopping them from going down the mountain......"
I shouted for a long time before they ended the conversation.
"You two old men, why are you doing these unreasonable things?"
"Today, but the last day of the opening of the ghost gate, and the most rampant day in the past few days, they went down the mountain on their own, of course I have to stop it. Zhiqing said to the square mirror on the low pillar in the pool.
"Don't make excuses, say it's okay to release people, don't you believe what you say?" I reverted.
"It's ridiculous, I, the head of Yujie Mountain, have always said one thing and promised to release people. Zhiqing added another sentence, "It's just that they can't be allowed to get close to the ghost gate, even if they save people." β
"Funny, boss, if you don't save yourself, you can't let others save you?" I thought I couldn't fulfill his request, so I vetoed them all.
"Brother that morning, do you know the ghosts of the Ghost Gate?"
"I haven't heard of it. β
"Legend has it that on this day, the number of ghosts in the Ghost Gate will reach its peak. At that point, the chances of the entrant being trapped and taking their soul away are greatly increased. Xuan Xuan stopped Zhiqing, who wanted to scold me, and said, "Thinking of them and the others, they will naturally have a way to get out, so I don't have to worry." β
"You just don't want to increase the number of casualties. β
"If you insist that I am doing something wrong...... Either way. β
"Oh, those who have attained the Tao will also be afraid of this and that?" I said with a scornful smile, "and I will prove that you are wrong." β
I threw the mirror onto the bed and let out a long sigh.
Chu Yanshu came back from brewing the medicine and asked, "How is it?"
"It's not good, the person I have been kind to is trapped in the ghost gate, and those bad old men won't help. β
Chu Yanshu was blowing the steaming medicinal soup while listening to what I said.
"The ghost door you are talking about, I heard my parents tell me when I was a child, and the ghosts in it eat people and don't spit out bones. β
"Really?"
"Yes, that's true. She said more nervously than me, "Since ancient times, few people have dared to go in and save people, even if they ...... Even if you save people, you have to hurry. β
"In a hurry?
"Well, once you get past the point, the road becomes a maze and you can't get out again. She said with a sad brow.
The risk of trespassing on the ghost gate was too great, and the side of the Imperial Mountain thought that they couldn't afford it, so they wanted the people in the gate to solve it themselves.
I can't stand the feeling of people around me waiting to die, especially when they're gone, and I don't want to taste it a second time.
Chu Yanshu drank a few sips of medicinal soup and said, "There is one more thing I don't understand, since they won't help, why do they send people to the ghost gate?"
"You're trying to ask...... Zhang remembered the purpose of his trip?"
"yes, don't you think it's too bizarre?"
"I know his purpose, but it's just to rescue the more than 30 disciples who were trapped. Wait, why did those thirty disciples ......?"
Things are getting a little bit of a twist......
