Chapter 187: Qujiang Duguan, Demon Blood Sacrifice
"It's a long story... this is it..."
Qingping shook her head and talked about the changes in the past ten years.
Nothing major happened.
"But there is one thing that is strange. Taoist Master Shenmu has been in seclusion for ten years and has never come out. Until now, there is no sign of him coming out."
"Is this strange?" Xu Yang was puzzled.
"Also, our spies discovered evil spirits near the Sanjun County Palace."
"Evil spirit?"
"Yes, it is the demonic energy. Sister Gui Xiang said it was the breath of the Guiche tribe. It is very likely the chief elder of the Guiche tribe."
"Again." Xu Yang was speechless.
When the Great Elder of the Guiche Clan comes this time, he will make sure they die without a burial place.
The person I am today is no longer the person I was back then.
Just let them see the color.
Xu Yang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has the Niaoguan City been built? Where is the Ghost Car Army?"
"I didn't find it. It seems that there is only the Great Elder Guiche."
After hearing Qingping's words, Xu Yang realized something was wrong.
Demons and ghosts have always been bold and arrogant, and they are domineering wherever they go, occupying the prosperous places of mortals. They will never be humble and tolerant, especially when they have families with them.
Therefore, it is very likely that only the Great Elder Guiche came alone.
The other party either has a conspiracy or is afraid of me. Obviously, the former is more likely to be true.
"Keep investigating. Find out what this guy is trying to do. Report to me if you have any clues."
Xu Yang gave an order and then left.
He walked around the county palace and found that there had been considerable changes in the past ten years. The buildings were taller, there were more people, and there were a group of unfamiliar faces.
It is said that the first batch of disciples of the temple died one after another. Xu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to it. Birth, aging, sickness and death were all predestined. It was fine to die, and there was no need to miss them.
Whoosh! !
Another black wind appeared, and the one who came was Qingping.
"what happened again?"
"There is something I forgot to mention. Taoist Huang Du has been waiting for you for half a year. He said he would come to visit you when you are free."
"Huang Du?" Xu Yang thought of the guy who practiced the Black Water Sutra.
This guy said a few years ago that he wanted to return to Xuanzhu Palace. Later, Xu Yang stopped caring about it. The other disciples did not have their own orders, nor did they do anything to the people of Qijue Taoist, so they were left alone.
I didn't expect this guy hasn't left yet.
"Okay, you notify him."
The water eye of Qujiang River.
Wow! !
The dark vortex kept spinning, filled with water vapor, and each drop of water weighed a hundred pounds, continuously flowing into the body of a middle-aged monk.
Its body is covered with fine black scales, and its head looks faintly majestic. From a distance, it looks like a black dragon. With just a raise of its hand, it can summon the wind and rain.
After a long time, Huang Du finished his practice, took a deep breath, and the water vapor around him disappeared instantly.
He looked at the vast waters, feeling a little empty inside.
I am now extremely strong. With just a wave of my hand, I can have a force of tens of millions of pounds.
Unfortunately, I am nothing in front of that person. The power of that level of Dharma image is not enough to describe it. I am afraid it would be as easy as crushing me to pieces like an ant.
Flying out of the water cave, all the disciples gathered together.
"Master, are we really going to leave here?" the disciple asked with a hint of reluctance.
"It's obviously our territory, why should we give it to them?"
Taoist Huang Du had already told his disciples about his thoughts. Hearing the disciples' dissatisfied words, Huang Du felt helpless and said, "The master of Chongyang Temple is overbearing and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. As outsiders, if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid he won't tolerate us. It's better to leave."
He didn't want to leave at first, but as time went by, Jiuyou County Palace managed Nanlu and the three nearby counties like an iron barrel, and he was the only outsider left here. All the previous rituals and neutral resources were occupied by Jiuyou County Palace.
As an outsider, he didn't dare to do anything. Instead of staying here, it would be better to go home.
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements with the Dao Palace. I will be treated the same as before. The place is a little small, after all, this is the Xuanzhu Palace, every inch of land is worth a lot of money."
"Yes……"
The disciples felt a little lost. Most of them were locals and had lived here since childhood. It was impossible for them to say that they were reluctant to leave. Moreover, the attitude of the master was as if he was being driven out. This feeling of gap was unbearable.
After saying a few words to his disciples, Taoist Huang Du left dejectedly.
……
Jiuyou County Palace.
"If you join Jiuyou County Palace, can't you stay here?"
Xu Yang really couldn't accept the presence of a force that didn't obey his orders. If this force announced its joining, even if it was just verbal, he would be able to accept it.
Taoist Huang Du had a struggling look on his face. He thought for a long time, but he still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart. Everyone knew that Xu Yang had a bright future, but Xu Yang in the past was just an ant in his eyes. Until now, every time he made progress in his practice, he would silently compare himself with this person in his heart.
Now that I have been asked to seek refuge, I can't change my mindset.
"If you take refuge in the county palace, you can learn my Stone Emperor Curse, various water techniques, and Zhang family's Yin Lei Technique."
"Thank you for not abandoning me, Palace Master. Please accept my humble respect."
Huang Du immediately stood up and performed the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows without any hesitation. He made the decision almost the moment he finished speaking.
Xu Yang himself couldn't even react. The man opposite him agreed so readily. It seemed that he was a man who knew how to deal with things.
"Stand up. I will appoint you as the governor of Qujiang, the chief governor of Qujiang."
Xu Yang also generously taught various skills. At his stage, he knew that skills were useless and talent was the most important thing.
There is no need to be so strict about some techniques.
The reason why the big sects pay so much attention to the fundamental techniques is because they still want their sect to last for thousands of years, but Xu Yang is more selfish and he is worried that one day he will not be able to climb to the supreme path.
So what is the point of growing more powerful? Anyway, you can't enjoy it yourself, and no matter how well your descendants live, it has nothing to do with you.
"Thank you, Palace Master!" Huang Du solemnly accepted the technique.
Before leaving this time, I went to see Xu Yang, also thinking about how to get enough benefits by withdrawing from this matter.
Unexpectedly, Jiuyou County Palace was so generous and offered him both skills and status. How could he not be moved?
After that, Huang Du and others joined the county palace.
Xu Yang dealt with the matter and put it out of his mind. It was just an elementary elixir, worthy of a little attention from him, but not too much.
……
A den of ghosts.
There were dark clouds over the area, and ghosts were crying and wolves were howling.
The yin energy is thick, sometimes transforming into ghosts and sometimes disappearing.
At this time, a large altar stood in the dojo.
At this time, the sky above the altar was brightly lit and filled with smoke.
"Brother! Why did you betray us?!"
The "tribute" on the altar was chained with heavy chains and roared in resentment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Void beheaded him with a sword.
Blood splattered and the sky turned blood red.
Taoist Master Shenmu remained silent, quietly sensing the growth of the brain god in his body.
There is a ghostly voice lingering in my ears.
"That's right. Practicing this Heavenly Demon Blood Sacrifice will definitely allow the Taoist soldiers to break through the spiritual fetus."
