After all, Guxuan Town is a level 10 secret realm. No matter how strong the boss is, he will still be suppressed within the level 10 framework.
Li Rui can instantly kill level 10 ordinary monsters. When facing a boss, he simply cannot kill him instantly, but with a bottle of spirit-reviving potion, there is nothing he can't defeat.
"It looks like we have to go to the Elders' Association. I guess there will be hidden plots there too."
Seeing that Li Rui was going to bully the old man after bullying the Taoist priest, everyone expressed no objection.
Anyway, neither side is a good person.
The elders' home was originally in the Huang Mansion, but because Li Rui took over, the plot changed and the location of the boss trio was changed to the ancestral hall in the town.
When we arrived at the place, sure enough, the secret realm prompted a new hidden mission, but no reward was mentioned. Obviously, this hidden ending needs to be completed in full before it can be concluded.
Li Rui once again took Zhang Xiaoguang into the boss location.
Unexpectedly, the combined combat power of this trio was not higher than that of Shen Bu, because even though there were three of them, they together were the boss, so each individual suffered varying degrees of weakening.
So looking at each of them individually, the combat power of each of them is not much higher than that of the Stitched Corpse Demon, which means that they cannot withstand a blow from the Thunder Palm.
However, in order to bring them alive to the ghost garden, Li Rui deliberately kept his hand and did not activate the fusion skill, but just used an ordinary Dabi Tou.
After the three old men were dragged out, Zhang Xiaoguang tied them together.
"Brother Rui, shall we go to the ghost garden now?"
Li Rui waved his hand: "Wait, I have something else to ask."
He squatted down beside the four prisoners and found Shen Bu first.
"You are practicing Taoism?"
"Young hero, yes yes yes!"
The captured Taoist priests were very cooperative.
Li Rui asked: "Okay, have you heard of Shenxiao Palace?"
"Shenxiao Palace, natural, natural!"
Shen Bu still endured the pain all over his body and nodded fiercely. With this nod, he pulled the rope tied around his body, causing the bruised old men behind him to grimace and grin, but they did not dare to scream.
Li Rui continued to ask: "How much do you know about the thunder method of Shenxiao Palace?"
Shen Bu just wanted to save his life now, so he poured out all the contents in his stomach:
"The Thunder Method is the Five Thunder Dharma. The five thunders are heaven thunder, earth thunder, dragon thunder, divine thunder, and social thunder. Among them, the sky thunder controls the palm, the earth thunder commands the spirits and monsters, the dragon thunder scares wild beasts, the divine thunder stings ghosts, and the society thunder. Thunder kills evil spirits." (Note 1)
"But... Shenxiao Palace is full of real living gods. I really don't know what kind of thunder method they practice."
He smiled ingratiatingly, and his words were sincere.
Li Rui nodded, thought for a moment and then asked, "You don't know where to find these types of lightning techniques?"
"Well, Xiaodao really doesn't know. I'm not hiding anything, but if I had such ability, I wouldn't have to stay in this small Guxuan Town."
Li Rui nodded, took a step back, and said to everyone: "Tell us about your respective connections with Guxuan Town, why you kidnapped the townsfolk, where they were sent, who they were handed over to, and why. Shen Bu, just tell me what happened with that melon farmer."
The four people looked at each other, and finally each explained what they knew.
A few years ago, a strange scholar came to the town. He approached the Elders Association and asked them to kidnap the orphans who no one cared about in the town and give them to him so that they could cooperate with him for a long time.
The three elders were local powerful men with a lot of property, so naturally they didn't want to pay attention to this nonsense, so they called their servants and wanted to tie them up.
In a society without the rule of law, it is normal for local powerful men to lynch criminals.
The scholar was not afraid at all when facing several strong servants. He just recited a few spells and those strong warriors fell to death on the spot.
The three elders in the elder association were shocked, but the scholar spoke slowly: "As long as you help me with things, I can teach you this method of cultivation."
The method of spiritual practice is much more valuable than gold and silver. Huang Zhonglu already had a fortune, so he naturally asked for something more and agreed on the spot. The other two people also agreed under coercion and inducement.
The scholar laughed when he saw this, and then made a request, asking them to send at least ten people to the foot of the haunted Yunding Temple every three months. No other questions were allowed. Anyone was welcome, as long as they were alive. In addition, they were specifically told not to make any noise. Someone must discover it.
Precisely because it needs to be continuous and hidden, the scholar needs to rely on the power of the local powerful, otherwise he can kill the town by himself.
And the cultivation method he taught was also an evil way of collecting the essence and blood of living people to strengthen oneself.
After hearing the story, everyone looked down upon the three old men. If He Chengli hadn't been lame, they would have had to kick each of them.
Li Rui turned around and asked the Taoist priest: "Is that scholar's method related to Fengdu?"
Shen Bu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head fiercely: "Fengdu? Impossible. Sacrificing human life is obviously an evil way. Fengdu cultivated a demonic way. I don't know the details of the small way. I only know that they always deal with the soul of the dead, but living sacrifice .....It’s too mean! It’s not like Fengdu’s methods.”
Li Rui thought to himself that Sun Qian must be from Fengdu, but the scholar is not. Things are getting more and more bizarre. It seems that the two are in a cooperative relationship.
He turned to ask: "What about you? What is your relationship with the melon farmer?"
Shen Xiaodao replied calmly: "Xiaodao was probably aware of what those three old guys were doing, so he wanted to scapegoat..."
Seeing Li Rui's cold eyes, he trembled in his heart and changed his words: "I just want to know what kind of method allowed a few mortals to achieve such a level of cultivation in just a few years. If so, hey, if it can be used, Xiaodao also wants to know. I wanted to get a piece of the pie, so I sent people to keep an eye on the melon farmers and find trouble to force Huang to come forward."
Snapped!
Li Rui made a big show of his words: "You have the nerve to accuse others of being evil!"
After listening for a long time, Zhang Xiaoguang suddenly asked: "What about Yujiang Ghost Garden?"
The three old men were the kind of people who were both shameless and concerned about face. They hesitated and refused to talk. Shen Bu had been in the world for many years and was much thicker-skinned. He said bluntly: "The owner of the garden is also a practitioner. For some reason, the three old men The guys wanted to kill him, but they couldn't beat him, so they asked me to join them with a lot of money and massacre the whole family."
"The monk's resentment was so heavy that it turned into a ghost that lingered in the garden. There were also many corpse monsters. Fortunately, the garden hid the wind and collected water, which combined with the evil spirits. It happened to be a situation of earth binding, and those corpse monsters could not leave. , and no one will take care of it.”
Under Li Rui's attention for several consecutive times, the three elders also recruited the monks. The monk discovered that they were kidnapping the townspeople, and did not want to conflict with the local powerful, so he did not kill him, but strictly asked them to stop. He could just forget about kidnapping villagers.
However, this indecisive behavior brought him death. The so-called hesitation leads to defeat.
He Chengli and others admired Li Rui and realized that it was no wonder that the people who had passed the level before had not been able to straighten out the plot of this town because they did not have this hidden ending.
"Okay, then let's go to Yujiang Ghost Garden." Li Rui clapped his hands.
Together, everyone carried several people to the ghost garden outside the town. When they walked into the gate, they received a new reminder.
[Hidden mission update: Three pillars. ]
[Mission goal: Use a trick to make the Aikikai, the Elders Association, and the ghosts of the ghost garden fight against each other, and take the opportunity to destroy all enemies]

(Note 1: The Five Thunder Methods in the book were modified by the author and have nothing to do with real Taoist legends.)
