I listened to their conversation silently and roughly understood what was going on.
It turns out that this Toutuo is the Tiger Immortal Ban Xiaoyue, and the Taoist priest is the Eagle Immortal Yin Yunfei. They were the ones who secretly caused trouble and deliberately controlled my big male sheep to stray from the herd, leading me to the Heifenggou Mine.
The reason why the "test" for me was chosen in the mine is because the depth of the ground and the chaotic magnetic field can isolate the spiritual communication between me and Lang Nier. To put it bluntly, they want to cut off my reinforcements and kill me!
"Sister Yuxia, when it comes to this matter, let's just make it clear." Banxiao Yuehu's eyes were bright: "In the past, we in the Outer Five Immortals Hall did our own thing, without being bound by good or evil, and were free and easy. Since Mother Hei converted to Taoism, she has become The chief protector of the three eastern provinces, using his identity as a surrogate, wants to transform the Waiwu Immortal Hall into a 'fox-yellow-white-willow-grey' Baojiaxian to protect the common people. To be honest, I, Lao Ban, don't accept it!"
Yin Yunfei also echoed: "Yes, the Lang family has always had the black mother take the lead, but we brothers don't want to be hijacked by others! This kid really wants to be the leader of five families, and in the future we will really become slaves who are ordered by others. ! So we can’t let him pass the test no matter what!”
"So you are going to kill them?!" Wu Yuxia's face was covered with frost: "Dried muntjac is no joke. When they come out of the mine together, it is very likely to cause the spread of the plague. By then, all nearby villages will have to fight. Being misfortune..."
Ban Xiaoyue interrupted Wu Yuxia impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, I advise you to stay out of trouble! Leave this kid alone and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us brothers for not cherishing our old friendship!"
Wu Yuxia's chest puffed up and she replied decisively: "I'm sure this guy will be safe. If you have the ability, feel free to come over!"
Ban Xiaoyue and Yin Yunfei looked at each other, murderous intent appeared on their faces, jumped down the rock side by side, and walked slowly towards Wu Yuxia and me.
One tiger and one eagle, they exuded an extremely astonishing power. Every time they took a step, the ground trembled, frightening the birds that lived in the forest and flew away in all directions!
"Ouch!" A wolf howl suddenly pierced the night sky.
The grass and trees in the mountain forest were commotion, and two wild wolves rushed towards me, lying in front of Wu Yuxia and me, and leisurely transformed into human forms.
I know one of them, she is really my divorced wife Lang Nier!
They haven't seen her for eight years, and she hasn't changed at all. She still looks like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the middle-aged man next to him is most likely her father, Zhenxiong!
"Two big men, bullying a girl," Lang Zhenxiong put his hands on his hips: "Isn't it shameful to spread the word?!"
Ban Xiaoyue's pupils shrank: "Lang San'er? You came very quickly!"
"It won't work if you don't hurry up. If you wait a little longer, my precious son-in-law will die in your hands!" Lang Zhenxiong sneered and pointed to a mountain ridge in the north of the ravine: "Look over there, see who is coming?!"
Ban Xiaoyue and Yin Yunfei were horrified. They turned their heads and looked in the direction. They saw a bell jingling in the air, and a snow-white donkey soared up from the clouds and landed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Sitting on the back of the donkey was an old lady in black clothes and white hair, holding a cane in her hand. She had a kind face and kind eyes.
"Black mother!" Ban Xiaoyue and Yin Yunfei seemed to have seen an evil spirit. The tough aura just now disappeared, and they all bowed respectfully to the old lady.
"Ban Lao Er, Yin Lao Si, you two have really made great progress!" Hei Ma's face was filled with a smile, but her tone was not very polite: "Do you think I am confused and want to lead the Wai Wu Xiantang on my behalf? Why not? I will also give you the position of Great Protector, and from now on, all the Immortals of the Three Eastern Provinces will obey your orders!"
The words were full of blame and ridicule. Cold sweat broke out on Ban Xiaoyue and Yin Yunfei's foreheads, and they all knelt down in front of Hei Mama, even saying they didn't dare.
"Hei Mama, please calm down!" Yin Yunfei was smarter than Ban Xiaoyue and explained with a smile: "When you proposed to accept Cheng Yi as a disciple, we two brothers agreed to test him when he grows up. , why are you still angry now?"
The crutch in Mother Hei's hand hit the ground: "The test is not a dirty trick! You two clearly know that his horoscope is Yin and the Yang fire is weak, but you still lured him into the dry muntjac nest where the Yin energy is stagnant under the Heifenggou mine. , isn’t this going to kill him?”
Ban Xiaoyue was unconvinced and murmured in a low voice: "Since it is a test, of course it cannot be too simple. This is not a bad rule."
"You still dare to say the word 'rules' to me? Then I will fight with you!"
Mother Hei raised the crutch and pressed it on Ban Xiaoyue's shoulder, with a smile on her face: "You two promised me back then that you would try to test him when he grows up. Today is his eighteenth birthday, and it's not even past midnight yet. At that time, you all took action in a hurry. Is this what you call the 'rules'?!"
The more Hei Mama talked, the angrier she became. The crutch in her hand slowly pressed down. Ban Xiaoyue seemed to be held down by a huge force, his face turned red from holding it in, and finally his body shook, revealing his true form as a colorful tiger!
The tiger lay on the ground unable to move, and let out a whimpering growl, as if begging the black mother to move the stick.
Yin Yunfei next to him was so frightened that he begged Mother Hei for mercy!
Mother Hei didn't give them any face at all, scolding: "I knew you two brothers were dissatisfied with me, always thinking about the days when you were free and reckless! I will help you today, as long as you pull out the immortal bones yourself, and follow suit from now on. Why are you so happy and carefree!"
Legend has it that in the practice of wild immortals, the immortal roots are hidden in the bones. Once the immortal bones are pulled out, hundreds of thousands of years of Taoism will be completely destroyed!
"Hei Mama, have mercy! We both know we were wrong!" Yin Yunfei kowtowed: "We must behave ourselves from now on and obey your orders in everything!"
"It's no use telling me this." Mother Hei raised her cane and let go of Ban Xiaoyue, and said in my direction: "The one you want to harm is Cheng Yi, let's see if he agrees to spare you two!"
Now everyone's eyes were on me, and Yin Yunfei clasped his fists at me: "Cheng Yi, this matter today is our fault. As long as you raise your hands, we agree to let you support me. What's the use in the future?" Wherever we go, we will never be ambiguous!"
I've always been a soft-hearted person, and since they had already admitted their mistake, I didn't want to pursue them any further. After all, I have to be merciful, so I nodded readily.
Ban Xiaoyue also transformed into a human form at this time and cast a grateful look at me.
"Since Cheng Yi is magnanimous, I will let you go for the time being!" The anger on Black Mama's face disappeared: "From now on, Cheng Yi will be the top disciple jointly protected by our Waiwu Immortal Hall, and no one is allowed to go back on his word!"
As soon as this statement came out, Ban Xiaoyue, Yin Yunfei, including Lang Zhenxiong and Wu Yuxia, all agreed at the same time.
Each of the five immortals raised an arm, and five rays of light of different colors shot out from their fingertips and flew towards my head.
I suddenly felt like something had penetrated my Tianling Cap, I had a splitting headache, and my vision went dark and I passed out...
