at the same time.
Thousands of miles away from the mountains, on a large and rugged lake.
Suddenly there was a bright light, which instantly stirred the originally clear water waves to boiling. Countless fish and shrimps were killed in the water, and the fishy smell was immediately released.
And when the waves were rolling wildly and high into the clouds, several small fishing boats in the distance were easily broken into pieces.
Several frightened fishermen were swept into the rough waves. They only floated up and down with the waves before disappearing, causing the family members on the shore to scream and cry in mourning.
Until after a few breaths have passed.
Only then did the brilliance on the lake gradually dissipate, revealing the figures of Qiao Mao and Qiao Ernu.
Among the two.
The former looked stunned, full of surprise and confusion.
On the latter's face, there was only a look of horror and panic, as if he had seen something incredible, his breathing was heavy, and cold sweat was trickling down his temples.
"Wait a minute, I finally found Xiao Qiao's whereabouts, and I also got Chen Heng as a complement. It's an unexpected surprise. You-"
Before Qiao Mao finished speaking, he was given a cold side glance by Qiao Ernu. His heart felt cold and he honestly shut up.
Seeing his appearance, Qiao Ernu sneered and shouted:
"It's ridiculous. I clearly saved your life, so why are you still so talkative? If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, we would have become ghosts at this time! Or even worse, we would have died directly. It’s very possible that the soul will disappear!”
"Your that..."
"I am born with supernatural powers and can know the good and bad fortune of my body. After the clan leader gave me the Sutra of the Origin of Nothingness, my ability has improved to a new level. I will hit the mark nine times out of ten, and there will be no accidents!"
Qiao Ernu interrupted, her golden Taoist robe swaying in the wind, her face gloomy:
"Just now, I had severe palpitations. I had an inexplicable feeling that a disaster was about to happen. It was real and true. How could I not run away if it seemed like this? Just stay there and wait to die!"
Although Qiao Mao had heard about Qiao E's magical powers, he had little friendship with her, so he only believed her with suspicion.
But at this moment, I saw that Qiao Ernu spoke solemnly, her voice was very sharp, and there was an undoubted meaning.
Qiao Mao shook his head slightly and had no choice but to give up.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that Qiao Jingyi finally stole Qiao Rui's pockets and lost her means of self-protection, but she accidentally encountered such trouble..."
After a moment of silence, Qiao Mao gave a complicated sigh, looked at Qiao E's daughter and said:
"It seems that what makes you feel scared is that Chen Heng has a powerful treasure in his body. But if that's the case, what can you do?"
Qiao Er's daughter has powerful magical powers and is the confidant of the clan leader. When the two of them are doing things, although Qiao Mao is reluctant, he still has to respect her orders.
Seeing that Qiao Mao pushed the matter over, he was obviously respectful, but in fact he was hiding some dissatisfaction.
Qiao Ernu wrinkled and said slowly:
"You and I have been cultivating Taoism for a long time. My profound skills have been hard-earned. There is no reason to die in vain. If the body dies and the soul disappears, everything we have during life will be wasted. Wouldn't it be a pity?"
"you mean?"
"Let's ask for help from the place in Mishan and let some elders make a decision?"
"Wait a minute, why is this so much more than this!"
Qiao Mao's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
…
Qiao Rui's grandfather Qiao Ding and most of his men were trapped in the Fa Sheng Heaven by a deliberate design due to a great turmoil that had not been seen in 300,000 years.
And Qiao Rui left Baishangyuan again. Without the blessing of Yuchen Sect, getting rid of her was just a matter of raising a hand, which was an easy matter.
If this matter is done neatly and beautifully, not only will it catch the eyes of a few elders, but it will also have a bright future, and you will no longer have to worry about spiritual qualifications.
Even if the clan leader remembers his name, it is very possible!
When he first got this order, Qiao Mao was really overjoyed. He drank heavily in the cave for several days, thinking that he would finally become rich after waiting all these years.
In fact.
Not to mention one Qiao Rui, there are hundreds of them, and they will have no impact on the overall situation.
Except for this girl, it was just the family elders who wanted to do something to shake the mountain and stern the tiger, so Qiao Rui's grandfather Qiao Ding knew of their determination.
Likewise, it was to help Clan Master Qiao completely strengthen his resolve so that there would be no room for relaxation between him and Qiao Ding, so the two sides simply had to fight.
But if Qiao Mao can't do even this little thing, then his evaluation in the hearts of a few people will be greatly reduced.
There is no way to talk about a good plan for the future.
It's just Qiao Er's daughter. She is one of her own. Even if she handles this matter badly, she will only be fined three drinks. If she passes it, she will get over it. It won't hurt anything.
But he is Qiao Mao.
It will be different...
"I'm just saying this to save your life for the sake of my clan. No matter what, I will never seek death again."
At this time.
Seeing that Qiao Mao looked unhappy and seemed to want to persuade him to say something, Qiao E'nu didn't wait for him to say anything. She just shook her head and said:
"If you are dissatisfied, you can go find Qiao Rui's whereabouts yourself. I will wait for you for seven days. If you can kill Qiao Rui within seven days, it will be the best. And if he dies, then It’s just your own fault, and it has nothing to do with me, so what?”
"..."
Qiao Mao was silent for a while, with a look of struggle on her face. She wanted to agree several times, but when she spoke, she remembered Qiao Er's previous words and hesitated again.
After a while, he sighed quietly and gave up.
"I'll just follow your orders... What you said makes sense. I have been practicing Taoism for a long time, and I have hard-earned magical powers. I really have no intention of committing suicide."
Qiao Mao gritted his teeth and said secretly:
"It's just a pity that I missed a great achievement!"
"If it's a pity, wouldn't I be at a greater disadvantage? I don't have many precious talismans like the Great Teleportation Talisman, but I lost one today. Thinking about it makes me heartbroken."
Seeing that Qiao Mao finally gave in, Goddess Qiao'e's expression also softened a little. She gave a word of comfort and raised her hand to point out a circle of golden light. There was a three-foot-three-foot-high sapphire altar inside, which was bright and bright. Light.
When she saw that the altar had landed on the lake and was stable, Qiao Ernu raised her hand, and several more puppet warriors were summoned by her.
His body is tall and strong, he holds a bell and a flag in his hand, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's, and he doesn't seem to be rigid at all. At first glance, there is no difference between him and other people in his life.
After these puppet warriors only bowed to Qiao Ernu, they respectfully placed a dark altar under the altar. They then muttered words, causing the sapphire altar to gradually glow with colored light. It spurted out in bursts, like a swell.
Qiao Mao watched coldly what these puppet warriors were doing, hoping to use this altar to communicate with several great elders of the Qiao family in Mishan.
Things have reached such a stage that even if you want to regret it, it's too late.
He sighed in his heart and turned his eyes sideways, too lazy to look again.
At this time, there was still a mournful cry on the shore. Several fishermen's family members and friends also brought a small boat to enter the lake to salvage the drowned people and find their bodies.
The altar's colorful light, soaring directly into the rosy clouds, is still dazzling and conspicuous even though there are many lakes blocking it.
Among the shouts on the knees, there were faint words like asking for mercy from Xianzhen to save his life, which made Qiao Mao, who was already feeling depressed, frown and his eyes became slightly cold.
moment.
He only lifted up his sleeves and pressed them down gently.
After a loud explosion, all sounds disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pool of scarlet flesh and blood on the ground, and everyone turned into meat patties.
"Why bother killing them? What a waste of time."
Qiao Ernu glanced at Qiao Mao and shook her head:
"I know you are very unhappy because you lost this opportunity, but this is not a dead end. There will still be places for you to use force in the future."
Qiao Mao perked up after hearing this, looked at Qiao Ernu and said, "Then you have the audacity to ask for advice."
"Fa Shengtian."
"Fashengtian?"
"I have heard some words from some of our old clan leaders. The Fa Shengtian incident is really a great turmoil that has not happened in 300,000 years. The current stalemate will never last long.
Not only Xu Dutian's eight sects and six sects, but also the sixteen great heavens and even the universe, as long as they are capable, will come in and interfere. "
Qiao Ernu sneered again and again:
"Even though Xia Ji, the master of Dharma Holy Heaven, has boundless magic power and the ability to reopen the earth, water, wind and fire, in the face of such a majestic trend, not to mention one Xia Ji, even ten more will be useless and cannot resist at all!
To put it bluntly, even a big shot like the Tribulation Immortal Patriarch would never be able to take advantage of this scene. If he remained stubborn, he would eventually die! "
Qiao Mao was quite surprised when he heard this, his eyes flashed and he said nothing.
"Don't be discouraged. The opportunity will be in the future. As for now, I advise you to stay useful first."
Qiao Ernu said calmly.
When Qiao Mao heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement and kept thanking him.
However, after hesitating for a moment and looking at Qiao Er's face, he couldn't help but ask:
"Although it is far from as detailed as what you know, I have heard a little bit about it in my daily life. I heard that the Fa Shengtian incident involves an ancient secret."
He paused.
Then he asked in a solemn voice:
"I heard... it's a big secret related to the sudden collapse of the Taoist court?"
…
It is said that from the first judgment of chaos in Hongmeng, the separation of pure and turbidity created the time of the heavens and the universe.
Then the saints of the Taoist court came down from the void, separated the heaven and the earth, set up images, erected the north and south, and controlled the west and east.
Then he took the heavenly essence from above and the earth essence from below, and combined them with the white and black ways of male and female, and created the infinite number of heavenly spirits in the universe.
In the era of Taoist rule, no matter how sacred the immortals or Buddhas were, they had to bow their heads respectfully, be willing to be subordinates, and obey orders.
Even the Eight Sects and Six Sects, which are famous among the heavens and the universe, are the supreme Xuanzong without exception and must die for them.
Or.
Xu Dutian’s current structure of eight sects and six sects.
It comes down to it.
It was originally an order from the Taoist court to punish those who rebelled against the party...
Why would such a gigantic creature, which dominates the universe, collapse overnight?
It has always been a question in the Tao, and no one can give a correct answer.
In the Dharma Saint Heaven, it is said that an ancient secret is involved, which is closely related to the Taoist court.
This news has already spread a lot, and anyone with some knowledge will know it.
Qiao Mao suspected in his heart that this message was not groundless, and there should be some truth to it.
Only the rare secret related to the former ancient Taoist court can make the eight sects and six sects temporarily put aside their old grudges and stand on the same front.
That's all.
Only then will the heavens be boiling and the inner world will be shaking!
However, in response to Qiao Mao's probing question, Qiao E'nu just thought about it for a moment, slowly shook her head and said:
"To be honest, this matter involves a lot, and several of our old clan leaders are also wary of it. They just said a few words casually and ignored it. As for the real truth, I can't make a conclusion, but there will eventually be a fierce battle in the Dharma Saint Heaven. , which is quite conclusive.”
When Qiao Mao heard what Qiao Ernu said, she couldn't help but look disappointed and just nodded.
But this time.
Suddenly, a long laugh sounded, as if it was about to tear the world apart, making everyone's eardrums rumble and tremble, saying:
"If we talk about the death of the Taoist court, the reasons are really complicated. It may be called the crown prince's longevity, or it may be called the human heart, or it may be called the gate of all wonders, or it may be called all the saints. How can it be easily explained in a few words? ?”
As soon as this voice came out, both of them were horrified.
Without thinking, Qiao Mao hurriedly made the secret, and raised several gold medals to protect him and Qiao Ernu in the magic weapon.
However, Qiao Er suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger in her heart. Her hair stood on end and she looked anxiously to the north.
I saw an old yellow dog coming over the waves, its tail that had lost half of its fur wagging happily.
"you……"
"I wonder what this senior has to say? We are from the Qiao family in Mishan. We are here today just to resolve a grudge within our clan and nothing else is involved."
Qiao Enu suddenly interrupted Qiao Mao, slapped the old yellow dog on his head, and said respectfully:
"Is there some misunderstanding in this?"
"There is no misunderstanding. I came here specifically to kill you two."
Zhou Ji chuckled, glanced at the sapphire altar, and showed his mouth full of yellow teeth:
"I can't ask you to send a summons back to the Mishan Qiao family. If you do, you'll be in trouble!"
"Do you really want to do this?"
Qiao Er's face suddenly turned cold.
"Grandpa, I was a murderer in the past, and now I have never had any thoughts of doing justice for heaven. However, since you regard the law of the jungle as a constant, and you want to kill people just because you don't like it, then now..."
Zhou Ji glanced at the scarlet meat pie made by the fishermen at the stall, bared his teeth in a smile, and said slowly:
"My magical power is better than yours, and my situation is stronger than that of humans. Even if I eat you, I shouldn't have any complaints, right?"
The shouts of killing suddenly erupted!
The evil spirit is so strong!
But not long after, it slowly became silent again...
"ha……"
In the mess all over the lake.
Zhou Ji raised his neck, burped with satisfaction, and then immediately disappeared into the clouds.
…
…
And another place.
After a brief trance, Qiao Rui felt her body light up, and then came to a side room.
The first thing you see is the dozens of wine jars lined up in the corner of the wall. The smell of wine is so strong that you can hardly open your eyes and make you drunk.
"It's my fault. You, Senior Brother Chen, never drink well. These are my daily pastimes. Don't misunderstand me."
When the Dunjie Shuttle saw this, his old face turned red, he hurriedly opened the door, and raised his hand:
"Go to the main hall, go to the main hall!"
After the guests and hosts were seated in another room, Qiao Rui blinked and before she could speak, she suddenly met a slightly searching gaze.
"I don't know what happened today. If it's convenient for me, Junior Sister Qiao, can you tell me something?"
Qiao Rui listened to him.
