God Jiuli?
This title surprised Chu Liang, because when the existence of Jiuli was mentioned, the "Jiuli Evil God" was often mentioned. Thinking about the status of the Iron-Eating Beast as the mount of the Evil God, could this old man also be a descendant of the Evil God Jiuli?
Originally, it seemed that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but Chu Liang still wanted to treat him. But when he said this, Chu Liang hesitated.
He did not answer, but asked in a heavy voice: "Are you a descendant of Jiuli?"
"No..." the old man replied weakly: "I am a loyal believer of the Lord Jiuli, and the guardian of the tomb of the Lord's legacy... Tan Qingfeng."
God's legacy?
Upon hearing this, Chu Liang became energetic again.
In ancient times, the Jiuli clan under the evil god was good at controlling beasts and refining weapons. They had a special inheritance of Jiuli divine weapons and had created many secret realms to store treasures and weapons. After a long time, those secret places have been buried in the dust of history, and each one is a treasure.
Over the years, Jiuli's secret treasures have been unearthed one after another, often accompanied by overnight wealth.
This so-called "God's Relic Realm" sounds like a higher-end secret realm.
So he asked again: "How did you become like this?"
"I..." The old man opened his mouth and let out two rough breaths. He suddenly became stiff and looked like he was going to die soon.
The iron-eating beast hurriedly handed the newly picked spiritual plant to the old man, but the old man seemed to be unable to eat anymore and could not move.
It would be bad if he died. Chu Liang had no choice but to step forward and grab the spiritual plant from the iron-eating beast's paw, preparing to refine it and feed it to the old man, hanging his own life first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, the old man who was about to die suddenly turned his hand and grabbed his wrist. His fingers were still as strong and strong as iron.
"You are not the God of Jiuli..." The old man breathed out his last breath, "Who are you? Why do you have the aura of God on your body..."
Maybe it has something to do with Jiuli Soul Armor?
Chu Liang thought in his heart and replied: "No matter who I am, I have no ill intentions. I was lured by the iron-eating beast to save you."
"Ho...ho..." The old man glanced at him warily. Perhaps under the pressure of death, he finally closed his eyes again and chose to believe Chu Liang's words.
When I closed my eyes just now, I could see Tai Nai standing there waving. Someone finally came to save me. It was definitely not the right time to ask so many questions.
Chu Liang refined the elixir into a ball of vitality out of thin air, and slowly gave it to the old man's mouth. When there is no time to refine the elixir, this is a more efficient way to utilize spiritual plants. After a while, the old man opened his eyes again, and this time there was finally some energy in his eyes.
But the injury on his chest was still there, and Lingzhi was just hanging on for his life.
It's not that Chu Liang can't use elixirs to treat his injuries, but that will have to wait until the identity of this person is confirmed.
"Old Tan." Seeing that he was awake, Chu Liang said, "Although you are still alive now, your injuries are too serious and you must return to the mountain gate with me to heal. But before that, this junior must confirm your Identity, what do the so-called 'god's relics' and 'mausoleum keepers'... mean?"
Now that the person was awake, it was impossible to deceive him anymore, so he simply asked directly.
"What are you talking about?" The old man suddenly turned his head, "I don't understand."
"What did you just say?" Chu Liang looked into his old eyes and frowned slightly.
"I was dying just now and talking nonsense. I didn't even know what I was talking about." The old man said flatly.
"Okay." Chu Liang nodded and said, "In that case, please forgive me for not being able to save me, let's go."
After saying that, he dragged the iron-eating beast beside him and was about to leave.
The little guy obviously wanted to stay by the old man's side, but Chu Liang grabbed the skin of the back of its neck, and it had no ability to resist at all, and whined anxiously.
"You can't take it away!" The old man was furious, but his body was injured and he couldn't move. He slapped the ground heavily.
"I forgot to mention it just now." Chu Liang said: "This iron-eating beast took away three spiritual plants from me before and after, but they were not given to me for nothing. I see that the senior has nothing but holes in his body, and there is nothing valuable, so naturally he uses it Please bear with this spiritual beast. Don’t worry, senior, I will treat it well. I will ensure a bowl of water a day, a meal every three days, and try not to beat it to death..."
As he spoke, he pulled the iron-eating beast, and the little guy was resisting.
"Stop! Stop!" The old man sighed: "You can ask whatever you want to ask, I just said, don't take it away..."
Helplessness was written on his face.
The Shushan boy bullied me and hurt me, so I openly carried the iron-eating beast back to the mountain.
Too much.
…
"My ancestors of the Tan family are all believers of the Jiuli God. In the realm of the God, we protect everything left by the God and wait for the day when he returns. The ancestors of our family call themselves the mausoleum guardians." The old man said slowly. .
"Wait a minute..." Chu Liang asked: "Mr. Tan, is the Jiuli God you mentioned, the legendary evil god who was born in the Southern Territory?"
"Shangshen is not an evil god!" Tan Lao said angrily: "He is the god of the Jiuli tribe. Under his rule, Jiuli and the human race get along harmoniously. The so-called evil god legend is a shameless rumor that only appeared after his death! "
After his narration, Chu Liang understood the origin of this old man.
Just as every Ninth Realm Saint has left a way for himself, the ancient Jiuli Evil God has also left a way for himself.
The many Jiuli treasures that exist in the world are what he preserved in order to make a comeback when the clan declines in the future. The biggest secret realm among them is the small world he created himself, which is what Tan Lao calls "the realm of the gods".
He made all these preparations for a grand war, and the evil god took away all the Jiuli tribe members to participate in this war. Only an iron-eating beast and the most loyal human race were left in the small world to guard the secret realm for themselves.
In this battle, the evil god did not return.
Including all the Jiuli tribe, everyone was defeated.
"Who is his opponent?" When he heard this, Chu Liang couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Mr. Tan shook his head. "The ancestors did not pass down anything about that battle. I only know that the Lord Jiuli called it the 'Battle of Ascension'."
"The battle of ascension?" Chu Liang muttered.
It sounds similar to the situation seen in the Dragon Mystery Realm and Nanhai Guixu before. The Ninth Realm Saint seeks to ascend and then fails?
Are there still those mysterious Taoist priests here?
"In this way, the legend that the evil god came from the sky to suppress the evil god is indeed false." Chu Liang said.
"Part of it may be true." Old Tan continued: "Originally, there was no Zhennan Mountain in the world. After the Ascension War, this huge mountain range appeared in the Southern Territory."
There is no way of knowing whether the legend is true or false. Anyway, since then, the Tan family as the guardians of the tomb and the iron-eating beast as the guardian beast have been living in the realm of the gods, waiting for the return of the gods. They are isolated and self-sufficient, rarely leaving their secret realm.
Until the day before yesterday, a mysterious Taoist priest suddenly broke in.
"He calls us followers of the evil god. If he wants to go deep into the ruins, we will fight him." Old Tan said.
The Tan family was originally a big family, and during these long years, many descendants were produced in the realm of the gods. The population inside is no less than that of some small island countries in the East China Sea. Moreover, everyone practices and their overall strength is definitely not bad.
But the mysterious Taoist just pointed a finger, and the sky collapsed, the mountains and seas were shattered, and all the creatures in the secret realm were plunged into despair. As the strongest man in the family, Tan Lao tried to resist the aftermath of this finger, but he was severely injured like this.
The little iron-eating beast was clever enough to carry him out of the secret realm and fled all the way. The Shangshen Heritage Realm is located in the Southern Region, not far from Shushan Mountain. One man and one beast fled to the foot of Shushan Mountain, and they dared not stop until they were covered by the sea of clouds.
But at this time, Mr. Tan was already dying.
The iron-eating beast then went to steal the elixir to prolong his life.
Although Old Tan's aura is weak at the moment, looking at his energy, blood and bones, it is clear that he is a strong man in the seventh realm. That mysterious Taoist priest can do this with just one finger. Could it be that he is a powerful person in the eighth realm?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the treasure in the secret realm has been captured first.
Feeling disappointed, Chu Liang glanced at the iron-eating beast next to him and said, "It's really evil... Was it the mount of God Jiuli back then?"
"This is natural!" The old man looked at the little guy next to him and said with pride: "The iron-eating beast kills the real dragon, the war god phoenix, and is not afraid of Kunpeng. It is the ancient giant with the top combat power in the world!"
As if to match his words, the iron-eating beast stretched out its claws, exposing its thick flesh pads, and stuck out its tongue, as if making a very "ferocious" expression.
"..." Mr. Tan paused and said, "It's just that after a long period of no fighting, the ferocity of the iron-eating beast has deteriorated a little."
"A little bit?" Chu Liang couldn't help asking a question in his soul: "If you throw it into the forest now, if you throw it into the forest, will it be able to eat meat on its own?"
"Oh." Mr. Tan sighed again: "I'm afraid it's enough."
…
Listening to Mr. Tan's origins, although they are considered followers of the evil god, that happened an unknown number of years ago. The Tan clan, the guardians of the tomb, are simply isolated from the world, let alone doing bad things.
In this way, he is not a bad person.
So Chu Liang first brought Tan Lao and the iron-eating beast back to Shushan, and got the elixir to heal his wounds, saving his life first.
While scrolling through Fairy Friends Circle, I saw another piece of breaking news just now.
The dispute between Yushan Academy and Zhan Lingshan became more and more intense. Although Zhan Lingshan did not take advantage, he harassed him many times, which made Yushan Academy uneasy.
After all, the academy is not the same as the sect. The academy is a place where you need to study quietly, and you can't go to class if you fight all day long. But for the gang of villains in Zhan Lingshan, fighting is like a lesson.
There are natural disadvantages in this regard.
In order to quell the dispute between the two sides, Zhang Chen single-handedly came to the gate of Zhanling Mountain and submitted a letter of challenge.
He actually challenged Qiu Fenglie, the owner of Zhanling Mountain!
The content of the challenge is that the two sides will have a battle in the arena ten days later, and the loser will give up the qualifications for the ten general elections. Win or lose, this dispute is over.
When they saw this letter, the heroes in Zhanling Mountain were all shocked, not only because of his cultivation but also because of his courage.
Zhang Chen had actually broken through the sky and came to ask questions. Although this news was shocking, it was nothing compared to the fact that he challenged the Lord of Zhanling Mountain.
Even if you are already in the seventh realm, the Lord of Zhanling Mountain is after all a peak expert who has been famous for many years. You, a young prodigy who has just entered the Seven Realms, why do you think you can defeat a famous and powerful person who has been training for many years?
If it had been anyone else, the whole world would have thought that young people had just made some breakthroughs and then turned around. But that was Zhang Chen after all. His acting style had always been humble and mature, which inevitably raised some expectations.
Could it be that he really has some trump card?
Qiu Fengli felt insulted by this, but out of the dignity of a warrior, he accepted the challenge and said he would go all out.
Ten days later, it is the day before the general elections in ten places. No matter who wins or loses, there will be no room for change on either side.
Lin Bei made a sharp comment on this, "I don't know if he clearly stated in his challenge letter what he was competing for. If it was a brain competition, I guess the entire Zhanling Mountain wouldn't be enough for him to fight, right?"
"If he could do such a thing, he would be really brainless..." Shang Ziliang said speechlessly.
Chu Liang was healing Mr. Tan in the cabin, while the iron-eating beast was waiting outside, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone at Yinjian Peak and their relatives and friends. Now the little guy has become famous in Shushan, and even the four elders of Zhenshan come here because of his fame.
The little guy originally wanted to go into the house to accompany Mr. Tan, but these enthusiastic onlookers brought him many spiritual elixirs and fresh bamboo shoots, which were piled in front to form a big pile taller than it.
Xiao Tuo faced the big Tuo, and finally couldn't help but eat. But while it was eating, its eyes kept drifting towards the house, as if to show that it had not forgotten the business.
"Oh." Emperor Feng couldn't help but go over and rub its head again, and said, "Our little Chuchu is so cute."
"What kind of strange name is this?" A stern voice suddenly came from the front.
They saw Mr. Tan, whose chest wound had begun to heal after being bandaged, and whose energy and energy were much better. He stood at the door of the wooden house with his hands behind his hands, showing the majesty that had faded before.
"Woooo..." The iron-eating beast immediately rushed over upon hearing the sound and came to Mr. Tan's side happily.
"Ah, this is the name my master gave the iron-eating beast." Chu Liang then walked out and smiled.
"How could the patron saint of the Jiuli clan use such an unworthy and unpleasant name!" Mr. Tan was slightly displeased. "It had its own name as soon as it was born."
The emperor's daughter Feng frowned slightly. She seemed a little unhappy because others said her name was unpleasant, so she tilted her head and asked, "Then what is it called?"
"It's called..." Tan Lao said one word at a time: "Jiuli Ba Tiansha!"
"Woo!" As if to cooperate with him, the little guy stood upright and waved his fleshy palms slowly, looking mighty and domineering.
"..."
The other people in the audience were silent for a long time.
"Old Tan, I didn't say that..." Lin Bei took his chin and tapped the little guy, "What word does it relate to?"
"Anyway, it is my Jiuli ferocious beast and has nothing to do with you and others." Old Tan seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and he patted the iron-eating beast angrily.
"How can it be irrelevant?" Chu Liang said with a smile: "Old Tan, don't forget that you still owe me money?"
"It's just three spiritual plants. I will find them and return them to you later." Mr. Tan said.
"Hey, this is not about the three spiritual plants. The elixir I gave you to treat your injury just now was refined by me. Do you know how much it is worth?" Chu Liang asked.
"How much?" Mr. Tan's eyebrows jumped.
"It's easy if you don't know... I'll do the math for you. Oh, forget it. Anyway, if the iron-eating beast works here to pay it back, it will take more than three hundred years to pay it off." Chu Liang said.
"You..." Mr. Tan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that this was obviously blackmail, but then he thought about it and realized that he had indeed saved his life. He paused and then said, "I know what you want to do. There's no need to pretend anymore." From the beginning to the end, you have clearly been coveting the God’s Relic Realm and coveting its treasures.”
"Yes." Chu Liang slapped his forehead, as if he had been reminded by you: "If Mr. Tan is willing to take us into the secret realm of Jiuli God to explore, that would be great."
"It doesn't matter." Mr. Tan said sadly: "Anyway, someone else has already broken through the God's Relic Realm. If you want the treasure, you can snatch it from him."
"That's right." Chu Liang said: "Mr. Tan may have manifested the image of that person? There is a high probability that such a profound and powerful person is not an unknown person. We may know each other."
Most of the eighth-level powers in the world have names and surnames. If they are really human beings, they should be able to recognize them.
Hearing this, Mr. Tan nodded slightly.
This is not difficult for him with such a level of cultivation. He immediately raised his hand, and the light and shadow changed, revealing the outline of a human figure in his palm.
But I saw this man wearing a green and black Taoist robe, with a white face and no beard, looking like a scholar. There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with aloof indifference.
When they saw this person, Chu Liang and the others naturally did not recognize him.
But a surprised voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Lu Cang?!"
good evening.
