Beijing, suburbs.
"The capital is ahead."
Looking at the outline of the city in the distance, Guo Xun's eyes were a little blurry.
The news has been sent out, and Tianleizong attaches great importance to it. All the disciples of Tianlei Sect gathered together and rushed to the capital collectively. The sect advocated Mengze to personally go to Xuanxin Zhengzong to meet with Yan Chixia about the Zombie King.
It's just that this process takes time, and the results won't be available in three to five days. Including the direct descendants who are in Qi State, the distance from the capital is also different. Guo Xun was basically certain that he should be the first person to arrive in the capital.
"Little Taoist Priest, can you sense anything?" Guo Xun asked the little Taoist Priest.
Guo Xun actually wanted to ask the old Taoist priest, but he knew that asking would be in vain.
I have become familiar with it a lot along the way, and the old Taoist priest rarely speaks anything. If you think about it carefully, it all happened that night. Apart from what I said when pointing out the talisman, I didn't say more than a few dozen words after that.
"No." The little Taoist priest looked at the capital, "The smoke of fireworks here is very strong, and it is difficult to find zombies."
"Didn't you discover it when we were in Jingan City?" Guo Xun didn't believe it.
"It's different." The little Taoist priest said, "The zombies in Jingan City are all in a fixed place, so the corpse energy will be more obvious. Besides, Jingan is a small town and is far less prosperous than the capital."
Guo Xun frowned.
This is what worries him the most.
I had some confidence following the old Taoist priest, but when I saw the capital, I still couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Fourth Senior Brother, are you afraid of encountering the same thing as Jing'an?" Someone saw what Guo Xun was thinking.
"Yeah." Guo Xun didn't hide anything and looked worried.
"The zombies we will face next are not living corpses that only know how to kill, but powerful monsters with intelligence. We have set traps in the small Jingan City, who knows what kind of conspiracy we will encounter in the capital."
"That guy is indeed interesting. At least he is quite courageous." The old Taoist priest glanced at the distant city.
Guo Xun didn't pay attention to who was speaking and subconsciously turned around to look for him.
The old Taoist priest shrugged his eyes, seemingly indifferent to everything.
"Fourth Senior Brother, look at the front, does it look like the Senior Brother?" A junior brother suddenly reminded from the side.
"Eldest brother?"
"Well, it seems that I was arguing with someone."
He raised his head and looked forward, only to see a wine shop in front of him. A group of people stood outside, confronting someone inside.
The leader was a thin man in his fifties, who was the first of the ten direct disciples of the Tianlei Sect. His status within the sect is second only to that of the clan leader, everyone who sees him must call him senior brother.
"He is really the senior brother."
Guo Xun was surprised and hurriedly led people over.
The eldest brother was arguing with someone, shouting something loudly. Guo Xun understood what was going on before he even got closer.
"It's really..." Guo Xunpo was speechless.
It's very close to the capital, and there are shops along the road from time to time. Because of the rampant zombies, everything is basically deserted and there are not many people in sight. Some shops also have drinks and food, so if you encounter them, go in and get some. Of course, most of them have decayed, and not many are well preserved.
This wine shop is relatively well-preserved and has sealed drinks. It was the junior brother led by the eldest brother who discovered it first, and then went back to inform him in surprise. But when the senior brother rushed over excitedly, he found that someone had taken advantage of him.
A jar of wine is not a big deal, and the dignified Senior Brother of Tianlei Sect is not a stingy person. If it were an ordinary person, he would just give in. But what a coincidence, the person inside is also a member of the Tianlei Sect.
The tenth among the top ten direct descendants, the youngest junior disciple of Tianlei Sect. Even ordinary disciples other than direct disciples are mostly called junior disciples.
Originally, Tianlei Sect was one of the nine direct descendants, but because of this junior brother, they made an exception and added one more. The eldest brother and the junior brother are usually in a happy mood, but the two from the Tianlei Sect are like fire and water.
Although Tianlei Sect was founded not long ago, Zhang Meng is already old, and the next sect leader has been scheduled for a long time.
The initial selection is two.
One is the senior brother and the other is the junior brother.
Seeing these two competing here, Guo Xun's first reaction was to stay away.
Now he couldn't even think about why these two came earlier than him, he just wanted to avoid this trouble as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, he realized that he had walked too close, and his senior brother saw him at a glance.
"Fourth Junior Brother?"
"I've met senior brother." Guo Xun had no choice but to go over and see him.
"Well, I still understand the rules." The senior brother said with a cold face, "Our Tianlei Sect is a famous sect, and we must have rules when dealing with others. Especially when facing fellow teachers, you must not lose your courtesy. You are the fourth senior brother, We must strictly discipline our junior brothers and sisters..."
"I will follow the teachings of my senior brother." Guo Xun complained secretly.
This senior brother is actually not a bad person, he just likes to show off. Facing the junior brothers and sisters inside the door, they yelled and shouted at each other. Some practical benefits can be transferred, but face cannot be lost. Obviously this is to compete with the younger brother and deliberately make trouble with him here.
"Brother, I..."
"Since you're here, just follow me first. Don't imitate some people. There are no rules at all."
Guo Xun tried to find an excuse to escape, but his senior brother didn't give him a chance. Guo Xunbu couldn't help but stand aside for the time being.
"Junior brother." The senior brother turned to the wine shop again, "Your fourth senior brother is here and you haven't come out to greet me yet."
Inside the wine shop was a young man dressed in black, with a rebellious look on his face. There was no one around, he was holding a wine jar.
"I've met Fourth Senior Brother." The young man in black cupped his hands from a distance, looking indifferent.
"Junior brother." Guo Xun nodded.
The attitude of the young man in black is not directed at anyone, it is basically the same for everyone.
Although he was the youngest to enter, he was the strongest. It is precisely because of this that he is regarded as a strong contender for the next sect leader.
It's just that this junior fellow apprentice has an unruly temperament, and no one in the sect can convince him. Even the sect advocated Meng, and many times lacked respect. Being able to call him Fourth Senior Brother is already quite a face-saving gift.
"It's rare to transcend the mortal body." The old Taoist priest was also looking at the young man.
Guo Xun has good potential and talent, and is a good candidate for cultivating immortality. But compared with this young man, he is far behind.
A monk breathes spiritual energy to cultivate immortality, and the body is naturally the most basic. Usually, you need to cultivate your own body first, get rid of the impurities in your body and have a Tao body before you can truly embark on the path of spiritual practice. But people like the young man in black are born with Taoism.
While others were still figuring out how to start, he was already on the road. Although there are factors such as endurance and so on, you may not be the first to reach the finish line. But in the early stage, it was absolutely unparalleled.
"The green continent is vast, and there is no shortage of dragons and phoenixes. If there are more fates, there may be more variables." The old Taoist priest glanced at the young man in black and said to the young Taoist priest, "I'm thirsty and want some drinks."
"Oh." The little Taoist priest walked into the wine shop and said directly to the young man in black, "Brother, can you share some of your wine?"
Everyone in Tianleizong was a little silent.
Guo Xun was even more worried, fearing that his junior brother would have an attack. The eldest brother was very interested and looked like he was watching a good show.
The young man in black glanced sideways at the little Taoist priest.
He saw that this Taoist priest came with his fourth senior brother, but he didn't care who this person was. He stretched out his arm holding the wine jar and handed it to the little Taoist priest.
"Thank you." The little Taoist priest was very happy and reached out to take it.
The senior brother and the accompanying Tianlei Sect disciples all looked like they were watching a good show.
It seems to be given, but in fact it is not. This little Taoist priest is probably going to suffer.
"Junior brother, this Taoist priest is my friend." Guo Xun said quickly.
He was a little worried.
But I am not worried about the little Taoist priest, but I am worried about the little junior brother.
Because Guo Xun suddenly remembered that this thin little Taoist priest seemed to be a bit strong.
But the young man in black didn't understand and didn't mean to give face. He squinted his eyes and didn't even say a word. Instead, he grabbed the wine jar and handed another half-inch to the little Taoist priest.
Sure enough, the little Taoist priest held the wine jar but did not pick it up.
"Is it so heavy?" The little Taoist priest was a little surprised and scratched his head.
The senior brother and some disciples couldn't help laughing.
Although the internal fighting is fierce, outsiders are a different story. Besides, I had just been disgraced, so I felt a little gloating about seeing others suffer.
"Take it again." The young man in black said, "If you take it, I will give it to you."
The little Taoist stretched out his hand again, this time with obvious strength.
Peng.
The wine jar was moved.
But it seemed that he had exerted too much force, and he stumbled back several steps.
"Thank you, brother." The little Taoist priest turned around and walked away.
Everyone had strange expressions, and the eldest brother was especially angry.
In his opinion, refusing to give wine to an outsider was a deliberate attempt to lose his face.
The eldest brother did not notice that a strange color flashed in the eyes of the young man in black. His hands dropped behind him calmly, trembling slightly.
"Such a lot of strength." The young man in black was shocked.
The first time I took it, I felt that the Taoist priest was strong, so I deliberately let him test it a second time. But he didn't expect that he would suffer a secret loss this time and almost make a fool of himself in public.
The young man in black looked at Guo Xun again with a rather unhappy look in his eyes. "Fourth Senior Brother, you have made some good friends."
Guo Xun knew he had been misunderstood, but he could only smile bitterly.
The little Taoist priest didn't realize what was happening, so he found a few more bowls and poured them out to the old Taoist priest. After looking at Guo Xun and others, he poured a few more bowls and gave them to them.
Guo Xun was not in the mood to drink because the two of them had a fight again. The junior brother wanted to go out, but was stopped by the senior brother.
A senior brother who loves face very much, and a junior brother who doesn't give face to anyone, it is impossible to be harmonious when they meet. The little Taoist priest's jar of wine lit the fuse again.
"Where are you going?" The senior brother said with a dark face, "The sect master has a destiny, and the disciples of Tianlei Sect will gather in the capital. In the past, it didn't matter if you were undisciplined, but this time you have to learn some rules."
"It's my freedom to go wherever I want." The young man in black didn't care, "The sect leader doesn't care about me, why do you care?"
"I am your senior brother!" The senior brother said angrily, "If you don't respect me, you don't respect your fourth senior brother. I don't think our Tianlei Sect can accommodate you anymore."
"Elder brother, you are indeed right." The young man in black raised his eyelids.
"Before I entered, I originally wanted to go to Xuanxin Zongzong, but it was a pity that they had too many rules. Just to enter, I had to wait for the opportunity, and they were unwilling to make an exception for me, so I came to Tianlei Zong. But now I see Come on, I really won’t be able to stay for long.”
"What do you mean by this!" Senior Brother said angrily, "As a disciple of Tianlei Sect, you actually said such words. Do you want to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"
"Why are you angry?" The young man in black seemed very strange, "Aren't you always worried that I will take your place? If I leave, you should be happy."
"Bastard! It seems that I have to clean up the house today." The senior brother's face turned red, his robes moved without any wind, and there seemed to be airflow overflowing from the body surface.
The young man in black curled his lips in disdain, clasped his palm behind his back, and his palm crackled, as if there was an electric light.
Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, Guo Xun quickly stopped his senior brother and said with a frown, "Junior brother, in the past, you were unruly and unruly, so I didn't say anything. But today, you really went too far. The sect master treats you well, you How can you say such a thing?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, I don't mean to be disrespectful to Master. I just said what you dare not say." The young man in black said calmly, "If there is a chance to enter Xuanxin Zongzong, how dare you two Say you don’t want to go?”
"Of course not!" the senior brother snorted. "I live as a member of the Tianlei Sect, and die as a ghost of the Tianlei Sect!"
"Hey, don't talk too much." The young man in black asked again. "What if we go to Penglai?"
"I..." Senior Brother opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say did not come out.
In fact, even if it was Xuan Xin Zhengzong, he was still moved by it, but he just couldn't admit it with his mouth. However, he did not dare to deny the idea of joining Peng Lai directly.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
As long as there is a one-in-a-million chance, I won't be willing to give up, even if it's just in words. I'm afraid that if I say something that violates taboos, I'll erase one ten thousandth of it.
"Fourth Senior Brother, what about you?" The young man in black asked Guo Xun again. "If you have the opportunity to go to Penglai, will you give it up for Tianlei Sect?"
Guo Xun remained silent.
"Look, I'm right," the young man in black said with a smile. "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Faced with better opportunities, no one is willing to miss them. The only difference lies in whether the chip can be used meet deadline."
"That's not what you say." Guo Xundao, "Penglai is the legendary blessed land for immortals. Even the Xuanxin Zhengsect cannot compare with it. All living beings in the world yearn for it, just like the fish in the sea, the sea, the bird in the sky. Even if there is yearning in the heart, there is no hope. It hinders the loyalty to the master."
"What the fourth junior brother said is true." The senior brother snorted, "Learning for Penglai and betraying the master are two different things. Do you think we are as shameless as you!"
"Fourth Senior Brother, you still like preaching so much. But I'd better avoid these hypocritical prevarications." The young man in black was even more disdainful. "In Tianlei Sect, there is nothing I can learn anymore..."
Before the young man in black finished speaking, he threw out a yellow talisman.
With a rumble, a thunderbolt as thick as an arm fell from the sky and struck the open space in front of him.
The ground was cracked and blackened.
Everyone was startled and took a few steps back in unison. The eldest brother even thought that he was attacking him, so he opened his stance to challenge him.
But the junior brother had no intention of continuing to take action, and just looked at everyone with a half-smile.
"Heavenly Thunder Talisman?" Senior Brother responded, "When...you..."
"Not long ago." The young man in black shrugged, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank those zombies."
"Zombie?" Senior Brother was confused.
"Yes, they are zombies." The young man in black took out another talisman and fiddled with it back and forth in his hand. "Although those guys are all living dead, they have the ability to absorb the essence of the world. They can sense spiritual energy better than humans. Keen. After observing for a while, I understood something. Naturally, I used this thunder."
"Nonsense!" Senior Brother was angry, "A group of living dead who can only suck blood, what do they know about the world?"
"I mean when they are not sucking blood." The young man in black said, "Those guys are not just looking for people to bite their necks in the dark night. If you are interested, you can follow them. Especially when the moon is full, say Maybe there will be some discovery.”
Guo Xun was thoughtful, while his senior brother became more and more angry.
He didn't believe his junior brother's words at all. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to tease him.
"I admit that your talent is indeed great, and you can actually master the Sky Thunder Talisman. Then let me, brother, give me a lesson and see how powerful your talisman is compared to the sect master."
The eldest brother held down the sword at his waist, and a buzzer sounded from the scabbard. Waves of electric current were generated, shining and swimming around the scabbard.
"Okay." The young man in black held the talisman paper, "I haven't competed with senior brother for a long time, so I am really a little bit scratchy. But I have just learned this talisman. If I can't control the strength, please don't blame me, senior brother."
"Stop it!" Guo Xun became anxious and stood between the two of them. "Now that zombies are causing harm to the world, we are facing a formidable enemy. As a direct disciple of the Tianlei Sect, how can we start a dispute at this time?"
"Fourth junior brother, get out of the way." The senior brother's face was gloomy, "If I don't teach him a lesson today, I will really think that my senior brother is made of clay!"
"No!" Guo Xun also darkened his face, "I am in charge of the Dharma Hall within the sect, and it is my duty to restrain the disciples. It is fine to argue and discuss within the sect, but it is absolutely not allowed here."
"Haha, interesting." The senior brother laughed angrily, "Your wings have become stiff these days since you came to Qi Kingdom. Well, I will teach you a lesson today. Let you know who has the final say in the Tianlei Sect."
"Fourth Senior Brother, I advise you to get out of the way." The young man in black had a cold expression, "Senior Brother, at least you have some confidence in arguing with me. But you'd better not overestimate your own abilities. My thunder talisman doesn't distinguish between Human.”
Guo Xun's face turned blue and white.
Among the ten direct disciples of Tianlei Sect, he is considered a relatively average and good person. His strength is neither above nor below, and he can have a relationship with everyone. Although he was in charge of the court, he never really punished anyone severely.
To put it mildly, they basically gave him face and were polite to him. To put it bluntly, no one really took him seriously.
The senior brother and junior brother faced each other, completely ignoring Guo Xun's existence. The momentum of the two people is getting stronger and stronger, like a taut bowstring, ready to explode at any time.
Canglang.
Lightning flashed in the air, and the senior brother's sword was unsheathed.
Zila.
A yellow talisman floated up, and the junior brother wanted to attract thunder.
boom! boom!
Two waist-thick beams of lightning fell from the sky.
Fire smoke and dust were flying, and clods of earth and gravel were flying everywhere. Two big holes were blasted out on the ground, and the senior brother and junior brother each flew out upside down.
"I said, stop!"
