Penglai, Mirage Mountain.
At the same time that the ancestor of Wuchao in the South China Sea was beheaded and lost a thousand years of cultivation, a middle-aged Taoist priest in the same dress also arrived from the Penglai Sect in the East China Sea.
Wearing a green and black Taoist robe, simple and simple.
It's just that this middle-aged man looks more handsome and upright. Although he has the same expressionless face, he has a somewhat cold and vicissitudes of temperament.
He stood in the cave of Cangsheng Taoist, facing the Penglai headmaster with sharp eyes.
"Yang Buwei?" Taoist Cangsheng looked at this uninvited guest with hesitation in his eyes, "You have changed too much."
"If you stay in that kind of ghost place for a hundred years, you will change a lot." The middle-aged Taoist priest named Yang Buwei replied indifferently.
"You appear here probably because of the failure of that matter." Taoist Cangsheng asked.
"If you had succeeded, I wouldn't have appeared here at all." Yang Buwei's tone still contained no emotion, "You should be the one looking for me."
"I didn't fulfill our agreement." Taoist Cangsheng shook his head, "I now suspect that it was Shenxu Guan's plan. They didn't know why we wanted the innate spirit fetus, but they still gave it to me. .Because the demon fetus cannot be fed at all, and they know that this will never succeed."
"Shenxu Temple..." Yang Buwei lowered his head and looked at his palm, "I am Shenxu Temple."
There is a complex golden divine pattern on the palm of his right hand, like some kind of brand, with a strange aura.
"You are from Penglai." Taoist Cangsheng emphasized the word "Penglai" and reminded: "Don't forget what we were for in the first place?"
"Forget everything that needs to be forgotten." Yang Buwei didn't seem to care about his words.
"What exactly did you experience inside?" Taoist Cangsheng asked in a deep voice.
"Can't say." Yang Buwei replied coldly.
There was a brief silence, Taoist Cang Sheng stared into each other's eyes, and could only see a coldness that penetrated the world.
"Then are you here to deal with me this time?" He asked slowly.
Yang Buwei looked at him unwaveringly and replied: "I want one of your arms to go back and do the work."
"Okay." Taoist Cangsheng agreed without hesitation.
He knew that what the other party was talking about was definitely not the ordinary kind of cutting off an arm and then growing it back again afterwards. Once this arm is lost, it will be impossible to grow it again in this life, and a considerable part of the Tao will also fall.
But this is the price he should pay.
It’s not the price of making a mistake, it’s the price of failure.
Yang Buwei raised his right hand, and the divine pattern on his palm lit up with an arc of light, sneer——
Taoist Cangsheng's left arm was cut off at shoulder level, and he fell with a sound.
Yang Buwei hooked his fingers, and the severed arm came into his hand. He then said: "Don't try that thing again. It's simply impossible. Only after I entered the meditation did I realize that we had How naive.”
"We have no hope." Taoist Cangsheng's moral character was damaged, and there was no blood on his face, but his expression was calm, "Did you see the hope of Penglai when you were at Shenxu Temple?"
"You can't say." Yang Buwei answered decisively.
He turned around and seemed about to leave. Although he was born in Penglai and was an old acquaintance with Cangsheng Taoist, he came here in a hurry just to cut off his arm.
Taoist Cangsheng seemed to be a little unwilling. When the other party was about to walk out of the cave, he suddenly asked: "Then do you have anything to say?"
Yang Buwei stood still, silent for a moment, and then said: "I remember there was a Shushan disciple. You wanted to kill him last time... right?"
There was a slight pause in his tone. Taoist Cang Sheng immediately understood what he meant. Although he didn't know why, he immediately replied firmly: "Yes, his name is Chu Liang."
…
"Chu Liang?"
Du Wuhen was also a little surprised when he saw the people on the island.
"Brother Du, are you safe?"
Chu Liang and Lin Bei came over from the island, and Patriarch Mayfly and Du Wuhen also floated ashore.
The last time he was in the sea of demons, Chu Liang saw Du Wuhen running out, and then being killed by Yang Buju, who was Yinghuo. Later, when the battle was over, it was discovered that Du Wuhen had disappeared.
Considering the severity of his injuries, he was probably dead and his body had probably been devoured by some sea monster, so the master and apprentice did not look for it again.
I didn’t expect that when I see Du Wuhen again now, he will be completely beard and tail.
And he was still following behind the ancestor of Mayfly.
"Azu, I didn't expect to meet you again here." Lin Bei became even more affectionate with Ancestor Mayfly. He stepped forward and laughed loudly, "Hey, hey, hey!"
"There is indeed some fate." The ancestor of Mayfly turned around and said: "My two brothers headed east along the coast to find a cave paradise to live in seclusion and practice. Seeing the aura of the island, they were about to step forward to check it out, but unexpectedly they met the two of them."
"Brother?" Chu Liang and Lin Bei stared in shock.
If you really think about it, this old man has been spiritual since the days of the Goddess of the South China Sea.
"Good guy." Lin Bei exclaimed, "I originally thought you were just too old, Adu, but you are old enough to be Azu's younger brother..."
"No, no, no." Ancestor Mayfly quickly waved his hand and explained, "Brother Du is my elder brother."
"Pfft." This time Chu Liang and Lin Bei couldn't hold back any longer, and they were both shocked.
"The thing is like this..." Du Wuhen also quickly explained: "I was completely despondent and was about to kill myself. I didn't expect Senior Mayfly to rescue me and comfort me. I didn't know the reason at the time, but I was just grateful for my kindness. , I wanted to worship my senior as my adoptive father, but I didn’t know that my senior was so polite and insisted on becoming my brother... and he must be my younger brother."
"I am an old man with no virtue, how dare I call myself my father and brother?" Ancestor Mayfly said leisurely: "From now on, brother, don't call me senior anymore, just call me second brother."
Du Wuhen looked helpless.
This was truly an encounter that even he himself had not expected. I can only say that the ups and downs of life are really exciting.
He had just lost the bird he had never left, and now he had gained such a strong second brother.
It is true that the old will not go away and the new will not come.
Chu Liang also sighed when he saw it. The luck of holding each other's thighs is really good. In the past, Wei Tiangao and Deng Yixiao were following him, but later he defected to Penglai, and now he is directly following Ancestor Mayfly.
At the same time, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly said: "Since you two are also looking for a place to stay, why not settle down on these quarrying islands."
"That's not good." Ancestor Mayfly shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, my cultivation method absorbs a lot of spiritual energy. I often practice in one place for several years, and it may take a hundred years for the local spiritual veins to recover. So we I only go to the ethereal place to find the blessed land without an owner, just because I am afraid of affecting other people’s practice.”
If the ancestor of Mayfly hadn't been too powerful in swallowing spiritual energy due to his cultivation, he might not have been beaten by everyone in the South China Sea, and eventually became the public enemy of the sea monster. Now it seems that he has learned from the experience and wants to change his ways.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to stay for a few years." Chu Liang heard this and said enthusiastically: "We are not practicing here, we are just mining Zhenshan Stone Mine here. We can't guard here all the time, there are ancestors of Mayfly Sitting here makes me feel more at ease.”
"Yes, Azu, please don't be polite to us." Lin Bei patted Ancestor Mayfly on the shoulder, "We are all buddies, so what if we give these islands to you? Don't worry If you need any heavenly or earthly treasures to practice here, just ask."
"Ah..." Ancestor Mayfly's hands trembled with emotion, and he kept saying: "This, this, this... how embarrassing is this? If I can't repay you, why don't I worship you two as my adoptive fathers!"
Seeing that he was about to kneel down with excitement on his face, Chu Liang, Lin Bei and Du Wuhen quickly helped him to stop him, "No, no, no!"
Chu Liang and Lin Bei were embarrassed. Who could accept a son of such an age? They would take him to worship their ancestors in the future. His wife, Taizu Zongquan Xia Youzhi, would have to call him brother.
Du Wuhen's face was full of horror.
Okay.
You just became sworn brothers with me, and you immediately became someone else's adoptive father. You have to give me two living fathers, right?
Besides, look at what you did, did the adoptive father recognize the two of you once?
As a rule, don't you kill one person first and then recognize the next one...
Chu Liang helped Ancestor Mayfly up and said: "Senior, please don't say anything that you can't repay. The last time you helped us deal with the evil spirits, the favor was big enough. It was just a piece of spiritual vein practice, which is really not enough to repay. If it were you If you still feel bad about it, why not just make a deal with us."
"Deal?" Brothers Mayfly Ancestor and Du Wuhen looked at him.
"You can practice here with peace of mind and treat it as guarding this island for me. If anyone comes to seize the mineral veins here, just help me drive them away." Chu Liang said with a smile.
good evening.
