As we said before, this corpse man was born with a tall head and a slim arm. He was tall and tall, with beard and hair like a mane.
Even though he was always dressed as a Taoist priest, he didn't have any sense of immortality. Instead, he looked like a giant thug who had worn the wrong clothes.
But no matter what, the sense of "presence" and "sense of oppression" this guy brings to people is indeed extremely strong.
At this moment, he was walking in the C position, leading his four hall masters and a group of younger brothers, walking toward the temple entrance in a hurry... That scene and momentum were two levels higher than that of the Causeway Bay leader, right?
As for the group of minions on the street who were kneeling in front of Sun Yixie, when they saw the leader of the group, they all stood up again, and naturally dispersed to both sides, giving way to the leader and the disciples. The hall masters gave way.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yixie and the others did not dare to act rashly for a while. They were just thinking of ideas while watching Xie Xuanzi lead the people all the way to the temple gate.
When he came closer, Shi Xuanzi also smiled, because he took a closer look and found that in addition to the "Smiling Swordsman" who massacred Qinglian Hall, Jiang Muchan, the snitch last night, was also present, which was just right for him. Catch them all.
"Hey! You bold madman! You dare to pretend to be the Northern Heavenly Martial Emperor and speak rudely to me. I think you are tired of living!" As soon as he stood still, Shi Yanzi pointed his sword at Sun Yixie's The nose started to curse.
"Presumptuous!" No matter how guilty Sun Yixie was, how could he let his words slip? So at this moment, he had no fear and responded shamelessly, "How dare you say such arrogant words when you meet this Heavenly Lord? You are such a bastard... aren't you afraid of being crushed to pieces by me?"
Shi Xuanzi was stunned when he drank like this, and thought to himself: Is this kid crazy? How dare you challenge me like this? Does this mean you don’t know what I’m capable of?
Just when he hesitated for a few seconds, suddenly, Huang Donglai next to Sun Yixie spoke: "Tao comes from nothingness, and is born with innate energy!"
As soon as Shi Xuanzi heard this sentence, he responded instinctively: "The law comes from one qi, which divides the yin and yang of heaven and earth!"
After he finished this sentence, Huang Donglai said again: "Ringing a bell is worse than ringing a bell."
After hearing this, Shi Xuanzi continued: "Reciting sutras is not as good as reciting mantras."
As soon as the two of them finished speaking these slang words, they confirmed that each other was a cultivator.
In this case, Huang Donglai will start to report to the mountain gate to scare people: "In the Immortal Cave in Wawu Mountain, you can ascend to the sky in one step to the Xuanqi Sect!"
When Xixianzi heard the three words "Xuanqi Sect", his expression, in Brother Sun's words, was like he was screaming in his heart.
But even if he is vain, his words still have to be answered...
After holding it in for a few seconds, Xi Xuanzi still replied: "There is a real immortal under the ancient Tianshan Mountain, one yuan, one meeting, one fire lotus."
Outsiders may not understand this, but Huang Donglai will understand as soon as he hears it. The so-called "one yuan, one meeting, one fire lotus" means that the demon Taoist in front of him does not even belong to a sect. He just worships another Taoist whose name is "Fire Lotus". "The two-character Demon Dao is the teacher, and the two of them teach point-to-point.
It can be seen that the title "Great Immortal Fire Lotus" should not be his real Taoist name, because the Taoist names of the apprentice and the master must not be the same. For example, if his master is called "Fire Lotus" or "Fire Lotus Ancestor", then His Taoist title can no longer contain the word "Fire Lotus".
So, Huang Donglai said again: "I am a poor Taoist, old immortal Xudong, may I ask your true name?"
Hearing this, Shi Yanzi's expression became a little more serious, and he thought to himself: "I have heard from Master a long time ago that this Xuanqi Sect is very impressive. Although there are many monks in the sect who look quite young, they are actually hundreds of years old. Dao Xing... The boy in front of me looks like he is only about twenty years old, but he calls himself 'Old Immortal'. It seems to be consistent with what the master said..."
Thinking of this, Shi Xuanzi became even more cowardly, because he was already in his fifties this year. When he was young, he became a disciple of someone who was not very strong in the magic world, and he only learned about 30% to 40% of his abilities. .
As for Huang Donglai, although the actual situation is that he only studied in the mountain for less than a year, only the Taoist name is more deceiving.
But according to Shi Xuanzi's judgment, Huang Donglai is probably a character who has been practicing for more than a hundred years in a sect with extremely high upper and lower limits like Xuanqi Sect.
therefore……
"Uh... Junior Xi Xuanzi, I have met my senior." After thinking for a short time, Xi Xuanzi bowed down and responded politely.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Fire Lotus cultists were shocked.
Just now, when they saw the leader coming over to challenge them, they thought they had a backer, so they all put on their arrogant faces. Who knew, after a few words of conversation, their boss suddenly started politely? Calls himself a "junior".
This gang of ruffians can't do anything else, but their ability to "read the air" is pretty good. Anyone can tell that their leader seems to be a little weak... That Zhi Xanzi is weak, this bunch of bastards from the Fire Lotus Sect Naturally, they became even weaker, and immediately they lowered their heads again, putting on expressions that seemed to say "You can't see me."
"Oh? Zi Xianzi?" Huang Donglai was repeating the other party's words in a relaxed tone on the surface. In fact, he was going through the situation quickly in his mind through the time delayed by this chanting.
Brother Huang thought to himself at that time: "He actually called me senior? I'm afraid he misunderstood me as someone from my master's generation? Then I might as well pretend and get away."
Having made up his mind, Huang Donglai immediately threw the smile Wuji on his shoulder towards Sun Yixie's face.
Brother Sun's reaction was quick. Seeing Xiao Wuji, who was tied up with five flowers, flying toward him, he quickly put away his trident, freed his hands, and gave Xiao Wuji a princess hug.
Before Brother Sun could complain, Huang Donglai had already put on the air of an "old-timer", cleared his throat, and said loudly to Xie Yanzi: "Old Taoist, I haven't traveled down the mountain for many years. What's the name of you and your master?" , I have never heard of it, eh? Which sect is your master from?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Yixie swallowed back his complaints because he already understood what Huang Donglai wanted to do.
As for the corpse, he lowered his head and replied respectfully: "As for the senior... my master is a casual cultivator and does not have a sect. Moreover, he is not over a hundred years old this year. According to his seniority, It’s not surprising that I don’t know…”
"Oh..." Huang Donglai nodded pretendingly, "Okay." He paused, glanced around, and changed the topic, "I said... Zi Xuanzi, as a cultivator, you are neither Follow your master to study Taoism in the mountains, and you don’t travel around to study and practice hard, but you are doing the Fire Lotus Sect in Jining, and you are ganging up with these ordinary people... what are you doing?"
"Uh..." Shi Xuanzi thought for a while and replied, "To return to my senior... This junior passed through this place a few years ago and met the Prince of Lu, Zhu Jie, by chance, and was invited by him to give lectures at the palace.
"Although this Prince of Lu is a relative of the emperor, he is devoted to good deeds, has a good Taoist heart, and has benevolence for the people. Therefore, after listening to the junior's sermon, he begged him to stay here. The Jining area helped him educate the local people and correct the world.
"This junior thought about it and realized that this was a meritorious deed, so he no longer shied away from it and established the Fire Lotus Sect here."
Not only Huang Donglai and the others found his words shameless, but even the Fire Lotus Sect's group found it outrageous.
Everyone in the Fire Lotus Sect knows that their leader drinks and eats meat all day long, seizes women from the people, is greedy and murderous... If such a guy can educate the people and correct the world, then just find a bandit. The boss can come.
Someone must have said it after seeing this. Even if he knew that he was talking nonsense, Huang Donglai must have accepted everything in order to escape.
wrong.
Shi Xuanzi is not stupid either. His high-sounding nonsense is itself a kind of temptation.
If Huang Donglai even expressed his belief in this and hurriedly said "Oh, that's it, let's say goodbye"... then Shi Xuanzi would definitely become suspicious, and he would suspect on the spot that this "Old Immortal Xudong" was This is not a bluff, so I am eager to find a moment to escape.
Fortunately, Huang Donglai is also a veteran and will not make such mistakes.
"Zi Xuanzi, you think I'm old and confused, don't you?" The next second, Brother Huang replied in a tone of voice, "I've come here incognito all the way, but I've heard a lot of things from your Fire Lotus Sect. 'Good words'..." He said, and gestured to his own clothes, "Also, don't you think about it... Where did I get this skin from? Do you think you are so useless? Am I still not clear about this?"
"Senior... don't listen to people's nonsense!" When Xi Xuanzi heard this, he felt terrible. This time it was a temptation that failed and he would be torn apart. He denied it with gratitude and an excited tone, "Junior's actions are worthy of heaven and earth. conscience!"
"Ha!" Huang Donglai laughed dryly, "Then you mean... not only the local people, but also your group of believers are falsely accusing you?"
"Uh..." Shi Xuanzi looked around, thought for a moment, and then said sophistry, "Senior, I don't know. This junior has worked very hard to educate the local people...
“Juniors think that... those who are kind or moderate do not need to be educated urgently. If we want to correct the world, we must first start with the evil people.
"So, this junior, the Fire Lotus Sect, specializes in recruiting local ruffians, bullies and scoundrels... I want to gather all these evil people together and discipline them first. After they are all taught well, then there will be no problem in Jining." Is this a good situation where we don’t pick up lost things on the road and don’t close our doors at night?”
When he said this, he sighed hypocritically, and then said: "Oh...it's just...seniors should also understand that this 'education' matter requires years and months of hard work, and the Fire Lotus Sect has thousands of followers. Most of them are naughty people. Even though the younger generation has taught and strictly restrained them in recent years, there are still many black sheep who occasionally cause trouble... Then after something happens, the people will naturally blame the Fire Lotus Sect. Yes, the junior has the idea of 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', so I have never made any excuses and bear these misunderstandings and resentments alone... I hope my seniors will learn from this."
Hearing this, Huang Donglai turned his head and glanced at Sun Yixie for some reason.
When Sun Yixie looked at him, his expression immediately changed, his eyebrows went up and down, and his mouth became crooked.
At this moment, although neither of them spoke, they had already completed an exchange. So what is the content of this exchange? I will roughly translate it——
Huang Donglai looked at Sun Yixie with his eyes and sighed: "Fuck! Damn! Brother Sun, this level of shamelessness is as shameless as yours."
Sun Yixie responded with an expression: "What a chicken! Shut up!"
That's basically what it means...
"Well..." After listening to Shi Xuanzi's words, Huang Donglai pretended to be lost in thought. After a moment, he groaned and continued, "I am also a reasonable person. I heard your words, but their words ..." He said, glancing at Jiang Muchan beside him and Smile Wuji in Brother Sun's hand respectively, "...I also want to listen, and then I will think about it and make a decision."
"Senior!" Xi Xuanzi heard this and hurriedly continued, "One of these two people is a murderous maniac who just slaughtered more than ten people, and the other is a thief who broke into Prince Lu's Mansion last night with evil intentions. ...Senior must not trust their words!"
"Hey~" Huang Donglai waved his hand, "These two people are now in my hands, you don't have to worry about how I deal with them; as for what I want to ask them, after I ask them, I will listen or not, believe it or not... ...You don’t have to worry about it.”
I have to say that Huang Donglai's "senior" attitude was quite good - his answer did not satisfy Shi Xuanzi, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed real.
The corpse man thought about it again: Jiang Muchan, who had easily escaped from him last night, was now following the "Old Immortal Xudong" obediently, while the smiling swordsman, who was equal to ten, had been Wuhuada was tied up; as for the brother who claimed to be Zhenwu Emperor... I don't know where he came from, but seeing that he also used Taoist methods when he "put away" the dung fork just now, I guess he is not an ordinary person, and maybe he is too People from Xuanqi Sect.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuanzi no longer had even a trace of doubt, and no longer thought about taking risks to test anything. In his heart, he was completely convinced that the other party was really a senior expert that he could not afford to offend.
"Yes, yes..." So, Shi Xuanzi could only respond, "Senior has his own decision to make, it's the junior who talks too much..."
"Okay then, ask your men to get out of the way, and tell them by the way, I'm leaving the city, so they don't get in the way." Huang Donglai understood that now that the matter had come to this, they would definitely not be able to stay in the city any longer. , if he stayed, he would always be under the surveillance of the other party, and he might be exposed or plotted at any time, so he simply stated that he wanted to leave the city and let Xie Xuanzi let him go.
After hearing this, Xi Xuanzi replied: "Senior, it's getting late, you still have to go out at this time..."
"Huh?" Huang Donglai didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking before he raised his voice, "Are you familiar with where I want to go? I need your permission?"
"No... I don't dare, I don't dare!" Shi Xuanzi was frightened by Huang Donglai's words. He quickly turned around and said to his men, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Quickly make way for the immortals to lead the way."
What can those Fire Lotus cult guys say? Just do it.
They also knew that Shi Xuanzi never regarded them as human beings, only as servants who shouted around. Just take the example just now, even if Shi Xuanzi said bad things about them or blamed them, he would not treat them as human beings. It was said brazenly in front of them.
But this does not prevent them from continuing to follow Shi Xuanzi and the Fire Lotus Sect.
Because this matter is a two-way street - these gangsters also have no loyalty to Shi Xuanzi, they are just using their power to do evil and gain benefits.
This is called taking advantage of each other. No one wants to talk about feelings, so there are no feelings hurt.
To make a long story short, the four of them, Sun, Huang, Jiang, and Xiao, relied on Shuang Xie's deception to escape from the siege of the ruined temple. Then they headed all the way to the north gate and left Jining City.
In those days, the view outside the city was wide. Even if the people of the Fire Lotus Sect wanted to follow them, they couldn't follow them. Besides, they didn't dare to follow...
In this way, the four of them walked for a while after leaving the city. When the sun set, they settled in a forest on the outskirts.
"Damn it, I'm exhausted." Sun Yixie cursed and threw Xiao Wuji on the ground. After throwing it, he turned back to Huang Donglai and said, "Hey, you don't have to continue pretending to be a senior master after leaving the city. Now, can’t you switch hands with me?”
"Didn't I help Brother Jiang carry half of the luggage?" Huang Donglai said, "Besides, you didn't bring it up just now. I thought you were carrying his feelings out of him."
"Get lost!" Sun Yixie said, shaking his sore arm and sitting on the ground at that time, "Oh... it's really unlucky. I thought I could have good food and shelter tonight, but in the end, I ended up sleeping rough in the wilderness. .”
"It would be nice to be able to live in the open for you." Huang Donglai helped Jiang Muchan put his luggage on the ground and continued, "That 'Fire Lotus Immortal'... that is, Shi Yanzi, he reported to the mountain gate, Something doesn't sound right to me... I think he is indeed a demon from the demon sect. If we really fight today, even one-on-one, I may not be able to deal with him, let alone that he has brought so many subordinates. You two are also surrounded."
"Then according to what you say, we can't cure this guy?" Sun Yixie asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It has to be cured even if it can't be cured." Huang Donglai said, "Before I saw the corpse today, the Fire Lotus Sect's matter was considered a 'nothing' and I just left it alone, but after seeing that guy... the situation was different. Same thing." He paused for half a second and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "I, Huang Donglai, am an authentic Taoist sect and a descendant of Taoism. How can I sit idly by and ignore it when I see the devil making trouble here?"
"Okay, okay, I just went up the mountain and practiced the Twelve Truths with a bunch of lazy guys for half a year, and I still pretended to be good." Sun Yixie still understood him, and knew that at this time, he had to have someone to cheer him up, so as not to misunderstand others. What a serious conversation.
"Both of you." But Jiang Muchan took Brother Huang's words seriously, "I also heard it. Since Huang Shaoxia has the intention to kill demons and defend the law, and Sun Shaoxia also has the intention to eliminate harm for the people, then we will kill him." Well." He paused and then continued, "Although I, Jiang Muchan, am not talented, I am definitely not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you two want to deal with this corpse, if you can use me, please Just ask."
"Ha! Hahahaha..." At this time, Xiao Wuji, who was tied up and lying on the ground, suddenly laughed out loud for some unknown reason.
"Is there anything funny?" Sun Yixi could tell that the laughter was evil, so he didn't give Xiao Wuji a good look.
"I laugh at you for being naive." Xiao Wuji said, and with a strong effort on his waist, he sat up. It seemed that the strength of the medicine on his body had passed, "Do you think... except for a Fire Lotus Immortal, even for this? Now that the harm has been eliminated, will the people of Jining be able to live a good life from now on?" After he said this, without waiting for the other party to answer, he shook his head and continued, "You destroyed the Fire Lotus Sect today. , maybe there will be a Water Lotus Sect or an Earth Lotus Sect popping up tomorrow... They are still playing the same trick; the same goes for Jianghu. If you kill one evil person today, there will be ten more tomorrow. What you think you have done, It is to help good people. In fact, where are there so many pure good people in this world? Maybe a person is still a good person today, but he will become a bad person tomorrow... What is the purpose of being a 'xia'? What is the meaning? So you want to serve the people If you want to ask for life and seek justice, you might as well take the top exam."
His words sounded like the views of an "experienced person". Although they may not be correct, they are somewhat valuable for thinking.
Jiang Muchan was indeed thoughtful after hearing this.
But Shuang Xie doesn't follow his example. They are time travellers. Their accumulated age and experience in two lives are there. Their outlook on life, world view, and values transcend the limitations of this world's era.
Therefore, Sun Yixie's reaction to Xiao Wuji's words was just: "What you said... seems to make sense, but I don't care. If you don't want to help, just shut up."
"Heh..." Xiao Wuji shrugged, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
He didn't dare to say more, because he knew that with Sun Yixie's virtue, if he continued to provoke him, he would probably be forced to do it in his pants when he wanted to go to the toilet tonight.
Sun Yixie did not argue with him, and turned to Huang Donglai again: "Brother Huang, this time you have to deal with demons. This is your area of expertise. You can make a plan."
Huang Donglai also sat on the ground at this time, and responded in a long voice: "I was just thinking..."
This thought led him to the idea that the Fire Lotus Sect set up an altar in Jining Prefecture, and the Corpse Man fought against the Xudong Immortal.
