Zou Jue's appearance was particularly sudden. No one knew where he was from or who he studied under. But as soon as he was born, he possessed earth-shattering abilities. This person's internal strength, external strength, formations, mental techniques, formulas, weapons, and elixirs are all top-notch existences. In order to pass on what he had learned, he created a jade book of more than 100 pages.
This jade book of more than 100 pages created an era of martial arts. Later generations were grateful for Zou Jue's contribution and regarded him as a martial sage. But twenty years later, just when Zou Jue spread all his skills across the country, he disappeared without a trace just as he appeared.
No one knows where he came from, and no one knows where he went.
However, the martial arts became more and more prosperous, and this phenomenon continued until the end of the Han Dynasty.
Throughout the thirty or forty years of the late Han Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains dropped to eight out of ten, and the original population of more than 50 million was reduced to less than 10 million. But at this time something happened that changed the progress of history.
Wolong died in Wuzhangyuan.
That night, Wolong used the star technique to borrow his life from heaven.
And in Qishan, not far from Wuzhangyuan, a young man in black robe was blocked by three Taoists.
The three Taoists have different figures, looks and clothes. One of them was wearing a gray robe, with gray-white hair scattered randomly, and a sword on his back. The other Taoist priest was dressed like a layman at the moment, holding a floating dust in his hand. The last one was a well-known figure at that time, and he was Master Zhang Xiu of Tianshi Dao.
Seeing three Taoists blocking his way, the young man raised his hands and asked, "Three Taoists, do you have any advice?"
The gray-robed Taoist said, "Donor, where is this?"
"Qishan."
"Where is the donor going?"
"Someone in my family is seriously ill and wants to go to the mountains to collect some herbs."
The lay Taoist said with a smile: "Is there someone in the family who is seriously ill? Pindao knows a little bit about medical skills. Why don't the donor take Pindao to have a look?"
The young man looked at them with some vigilance: "Don't bother Taoist priest anymore,"
But Zhang Xiu of Tianshi Dao stared at him and said: "Two senior brothers, stop talking nonsense with him. Zou Jue, you will not be able to survive today!"
The young man in front of him turned out to be the famous Hunyuan Yiqi Immortal Martial Saint Zou Jue.
The young man showed a surprised expression at this moment, and then asked: "Zou Jue? Did the three Taoist priests say that I'm here?"
Zhang Xiu smiled coldly and said, "What? You're not?"
At this time, the young man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands and said: "I am Jia Chong, a man from Shanye Village. Did the three Taoist priests recognize the wrong person?"
Zhang Xiu didn't believe it at all, so he was about to force the young man to take action. The gray-robed Taoist stopped him. His expression was different from Zhang Xiu's, and his face always had a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
"If the donor is not Zou Jue, then please go back. I still have some silver here. You can take it back to buy some medicine for your family. It is not suitable to collect medicine on the mountain tonight."
The young man stared at the gray-robed Taoist's silver and was a little tangled, but seeing that the three Taoists would never let him pass easily tonight, he finally took the silver from the Taoist's hands and left here with a lot of gratitude.
After the young man left, the lay Taoist asked: "Brother, is this really not Zou Jue?"
The gray-robed Taoist twirled his beard and said, "How could it not be him?"
The young man had only walked a few steps down the mountain, and just when he disappeared from the Taoist's sight, a huge change suddenly occurred in the young man. At this moment, his body suddenly grew several inches taller, and his attire also changed. He was completely covered in armor. There were even large stains of blood on his face.
He looked coldly at the direction of the three Taoists, but he did not turn back. Instead, he identified the direction and went to another road up the mountain. The road was rugged and difficult, but the man was agile and could walk as fast as he could even wearing armor. He said to himself as he ran: "Time is running out."
But what he didn't expect was that he met three other people halfway up the mountain. One of them was shirtless, carrying a huge gourd on his back, and had a red beard and red hair on his face. The other person is a middle-aged beautiful woman with an inconspicuous glass bottle on her waist. The last person is a bit interesting. He has a short boyish figure, but looking at the wrinkles on his face, he is already an old man.
When the three of them saw someone going up the mountain, they glanced at each other, and the shirtless man shouted to her: "Stop those who come, this road is blocked!"
The young man was shocked when he saw them, but now that there was really not much time, he could only bite the bullet and walk forward, shouting as he walked: "Be brave, send the Prime Minister's order to requisition this mountain. Idle people Wait and stand down!"
When he got close to a few people, the young man didn't wait for them to say anything, and shouted preemptively: "Bold thief, dare to intercept here. I have the Prime Minister's order with me. I have given you an advantage this time, so don't retreat!"
The shirtless man was a little unsure. He turned around and asked the old man, "Grandpa, is this the man?"
The short old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Who else can come to Qishan at this hour but him."
The other two received a positive answer from the old man, and they all took a defensive posture as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Seeing that everyone did not retreat, the young man shouted loudly: "Why, you still dare to disobey the military order!"
The old man chuckled and said: "Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I still can't go up this mountain. Zou Jue, you don't have much time. If you don't push through, you will really have no chance."
The young man finally turned gloomy at this moment. He stared at the three people, and then said in a slightly buzzing voice: "Why are you three so embarrassed? If you let me go, I will be grateful in the future."
The young man finally admitted that he was Zou Jue. At this moment, he was talking to the three of them in a seductive voice while groping for something with his hands.
But at this moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman raised her hand to the sky, and then a huge firework shot into the sky. When Zou Jue saw this state, his expression changed greatly.
The old man stood in front of the beautiful woman at this moment, and then said: "Over the years, there will always be some news about you. Although there is no one alive under the magic sound, there will always be some clues. You have beautiful hands. It seems that you taught the skill in the first place. It’s better to keep it when it’s time.”
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the three of them, the young man finally shut his mouth. He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. The signal bomb just fired showed that there must be some of their accomplices on this mountain, at least the three Taoists just now.
Thinking of this, Zou Jue decided not to hold back any more, and the armor on his body slowly receded. Revealing his true colors.
"It is rumored that you have recovered your natural beauty with training. I didn't expect it to be true. This really makes me envious." The short old man looked at Zou Jue with some envy at this moment.
Zou Jue didn't talk nonsense to him at all, and rushed over as soon as he lifted his hands. Zou Jue is extremely fast. The man and the beautiful woman did not dare to neglect. The man took off the huge gourd from his back and took off the gourd plug towards Zou Jue. The beautiful woman took off the glass bottle from her waist. Hold it in your hand.
Immediately afterwards, a red flame spurted out from the gourd's mouth, and the line of fire rushed towards Zou Jue without hesitation. Zou Jue turned sideways to avoid the line of fire, but unexpectedly a big knife flew towards him. Zou Jue could no longer hide now. He had no choice but to change his moves with his hands, and the sword flew away with one punch.
Only then did Zou Jue look at the gourd and glass vase: "What are these?"
The man was a little surprised that he didn't know about his gourd. He touched the mouth of the bottle with one hand and said, "You have indeed been away from the martial arts for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible not to know about Chihou. This is the proud work of Lord Shenji."
"Marquis Shen Ji? So the glass bottle that spits out weapons was also made by him?"
The beautiful woman held the glass bottle and said, "Not bad."
The old man touched his chin and said: "You have all the martial arts in the world. It's unrealistic to rely on martial arts to stop you. But we can't let you go tonight. These two things are specially prepared for you. How about, This junior’s stuff may still catch your eye.”
Zou Jue snorted coldly and asked emotionlessly: "I'll say it one last time, will you let me or not?"
The old man shook his head helplessly: "Young man, I can't give in. The world can no longer go on as you arranged."
Zou Jue didn't talk nonsense at this moment. He stared at the three of them. Then at a certain moment it soared into the sky. He rushed over the three of them. When the old man saw him, he shouted: "Keep him here."
The man responded, then wiped it on the gourd's mouth, and then a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, directly hitting Zou Jue's body, and was absorbed by the gourd. Zou Jue was hit by this lightning and his speed slowed down slightly. The beautiful middle-aged woman saw the opportunity, and then the golden light in the glass bottle flashed wildly, and meteors spurted out from the bottle.
It turned out to be tiny silver needles. Zou Jue was unable to dodge for a moment, and was pierced through his body by hundreds of silver needles, and fell straight down from the air.
The man and the beautiful woman looked at each other and said happily: "It's done."
At this time, the old man shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
When the man and the beautiful woman heard what the old man said, they realized something was wrong. It was already too late to escape. At this moment, Zou Jue seemed to have suddenly regained consciousness, staring at the man and the beautiful woman with cold eyes. He stretched out his hands, grabbed the two people's necks the moment they landed, and then twisted them gently.
The man and the beautiful woman did not react at all, and both died.
The old man screamed when he saw it and almost fainted from the pain. Zou Jue had the upper hand at this moment and sneered: "If you hadn't kept your eyes open and blocked my way, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Although I have never refined these two palace seals, I naturally know how powerful they are. It’s crystal clear. Haha, it’s really wishful thinking to rely on this thing to block my way.”
After saying that, Zou Jue planned to continue walking up the mountain. Unexpectedly, the old man jumped over again at this moment.
"You can't leave. Even if the old man risked his life today, he wouldn't be able to let you go up!"
"You're looking for death!" Zou Jue didn't expect this old man to be so stubborn. Seeing that he was still blocking his retreat, Zou Jue finally decided to kill him.
At this moment, a green blade came from the darkness, and Zou Jue dodged it with quick eyes and quick hands. Immediately afterwards, the three Taoists who had just met walked slowly from the mountain. At the same time, Zou Jue felt that the ground began to tremble for no reason. He looked back and saw seven or eight more people in different costumes coming up from the bottom of the mountain. Every time one of them takes a step, he will leave a deep footprint on the stone steps, and the tremor of the earth comes from this person.
