Chapter 136 Qi and Blood

Chapter 136 Qi and Blood
Wu Meng always thought that he was rational and calm, and his behavior was almost perfect. However, he only said the word "perfect" in his heart, because if he said it out loud, he would be laughed at for being too arrogant.

But he felt that he could not be called arrogant, but he was a little conceited - he knew how to reflect, which was also one of his strengths.

How did the arrogance come about? It was when I was still at the mountain gate.

The Five Mountains True Form Sect is one of the orthodox sects in the world. It has a huge mountain gate and nearly ten thousand disciples. It was there that he spent his infancy, childhood and youth.

So inevitably, he would experience competition and bullying among his fellow disciples, flattery and bullying. His cultivation aptitude was above average, and his character was also above average. When he was learning Taoism at the mountain gate, he was not at the bottom, but he was not at the top either. This made him always feel that he was not bad, but there were always better people than him.

Later, he left the mountain gate and went to various places to practice and gain experience, just like other disciples.

Only then did he realize that people like him who were chosen to practice in the mountain gate since childhood were all outstanding - even those at the bottom would be considered geniuses elsewhere.

In this way, after being praised and admired for more than ten years, he finally returned to the mountain gate. Then he felt that he was beginning to become arrogant.

But he felt that being arrogant was not a good thing in the mountain gate, because he would still be suppressed by others in every way, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his aptitude was above average, and his character was also above average. When he added the two above average together, he was more than above average. When he was thirty-four years old, he was considered to be somewhat famous among the younger generation of disciples of the True Form Sect, so he found an opportunity and came to the Coffin City to be the mountain master.

There are hundreds of border towns of the True Form Sect, and Coffin City is one of the smaller ones, and it was built not long ago. But it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. After arriving at Coffin City, Wu Meng felt that he could finally take a deep breath.

Since then, no one disobeyed him. He was too lazy to take care of the secular affairs in the city, and only taught the practitioners.

He would pay more attention to the young disciples who came to the city for training. When he was young, he trained in Xiaocheng, and the mountain master there took good care of him. With this gratitude, he would take a few more glances at the young monks with better talents.

Therefore, when he saw Lou He, he felt as if he saw himself when he was young. Lou He's talent was higher than when he was young, but not so high that he felt jealous. Wu Meng felt that it would be good for him to protect and befriend this person, once he returned to the mountain gate and had some power.

He felt that what he did afterwards was because he was too eager to help others. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the True Form Sect, and everyone could understand it - except Lou He.

Wu Meng could understand what Lou He did afterwards. There were many people who betrayed their religion, not just Lou He.

But what he couldn't understand was Wu Jianqiu, the rebellious son - what reason did he have to betray his religion?
These two things reminded him of the days when he was in the sect. At that time, someone would tell him what he did wrong and what he did wrong. After coming to the coffin city, he no longer heard such words, and no one had any objection to his decisions.

He knew that he would make small mistakes sometimes, which probably meant that others were following his wishes, but this feeling was very good, making him feel comfortable physically and free of worries, which was of great help to his spiritual practice.

Therefore, these two things became his mental obsession, and even when he entered the stage of spiritual refinement, they almost became his mental demons and caused him to fail.

So Wu Meng knew that these two knots must be untied, otherwise he would be in big trouble when he advanced to the realm of Huaxu in the future.

One of them has been solved. Lou He came back, abandoned his own cultivation, and agreed to bring back the rebellious son as well, to show that he had cut all ties with the Sword Sect.

Since he was a strict teacher, he could naturally tolerate a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf, so he forgave Lou He.

He had originally planned to spare Wu Jianqiu, but he had to ask a clear "why" - he naturally understood this "why", and this "why" was just to make Wu Jianqiu figure out where he was wrong.

A stern and steady commander should not let his mind be shaken by his own bloodline and use a public facility like the Coffin City for private matters, so he simply used the public facility more - using the power of the Coffin City to take all three swordsmen into Lingshan. Only here, could he, as a father, properly question his rebellious son and force him to repent.

But he didn't expect that this rebellious son was much more stubborn than he imagined. He would rather let his soul turn into a sacred mountain than turn back!

So Wu Meng held the sword in his hand, stared at Zeng Jianqiu, and slowly exhaled: "You are stubborn and stubborn, that's what you are now. I thought you could understand things after leaving the parish and suffering outside. But now, I think you haven't suffered enough."

All three were lying on the ground.

Their physical bodies had been sent to the mountain master's mansion before, and were currently in Wu Meng's alchemy room.

When they were at Lingshan, the Ninth Young Master said, "I don't care about your business." When the three regained consciousness, they realized that he really was too lazy to care - he only sent the Earth Soul out, and is still in prison now. He really doesn't care about their lives.

But there is nothing to complain about this. When a swordsman travels around the world, he usually has no other helpers except his fellow brothers.

Zeng Jianqiu remained silent, Pan Muyun also kept his lips tightly shut, but Helian Ji smiled and said, "Master Wu, what you said is not right. Suffering has to be endured in different ways. Sleeping in the open air is suffering for people like you, and being on the verge of life and death in Lingshan just now is also suffering. But you know, we swordsmen don't feel it's hard - you see, we just found out that there is a demon king in Lingshan, isn't this interesting?"

"So what you think is suffering, my senior brother Zeng thinks it is very happy. This is a swordsman. You will never understand this kind of fun."

Wu Meng didn't look at him, but only at Zeng Jianqiu, and smiled coldly: "What your companion said makes sense. Yes, there is more than one kind of suffering in the world. If you don't feel bitter about sleeping in the open air and running out of life, then what about watching your fellow disciples die in front of you because of you?"

Helian Ji laughed: "Do you think we haven't seen enough? These years--"

His voice paused.

Because the sword in Wu Meng's hand pierced his chest.

Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun suddenly struggled to stand up and half-knelt on the ground, their eyes wide open, but still said nothing.

Helian Ji took a breath and continued to laugh: "--Over the years, many of my fellow disciples have died in front of us... But unlike the people you died, we all know why we died--"

Wu Meng still stared at Zeng Jianqiu and turned the sword in his hand.

Blood immediately flowed out of Helian Ji's mouth, but he laughed even louder, choking on another mouthful of blood: "Old Zeng, your father, the mountain master, is really stupid. If we are afraid of death, why would we be swordsmen? I just looked at Lingshan, and I think it's not bad. If Zhao Qi hadn't been born in Ranshan, he might have been able to do it--"

Wu Meng frowned, and pulled the sword down suddenly, but only made a palm-long cut in Helian Ji's chest, and then the sword got stuck in the bone. Helian Ji laughed loudly, but the sound became intermittent: "See... no... our swordsman, such a hard... bone... you..."

Wu Meng finally turned to look at him, his eyes full of disgust: "I can see that. Your mouth is harder than your bones! But you——"

Helian Ji suddenly lifted his body from the ground and bounced himself up. The sword in Wu Meng's hand seemed to have completely sunk into his chest, but what was heard was a sound of metal cracking - the sword did not go through his back, but broke all his bones in his chest! Wu Meng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, a rain of blood accompanied by broken blade fragments rushed towards him!

The first thought that flashed through Wu Meng’s mind was, dirty!

This blood will not only stain myself, but also the alchemy room!

But the second thought was, cool!

My whole body felt cold, as if my clothes had holes in them and were blown through by the cold wind!

The next moment, when he heard a crackling sound like rain hitting banana leaves, he realized what had happened.

The swordsman in front of him had just used all his life's cultivation, his flesh, blood, and broken blade, to hit him head-on!

His entire body seemed to have been peeled off a layer of skin alive, his front was a bloody mess, even his eyelids that he subconsciously closed for a moment were torn off, revealing two eyeballs stained with the swordsman's blood!
"what!!"

Wu Meng screamed and took two steps back. He dropped the hilt of his sword and raised his hand to summon a map of the true shapes of the Five Mountains from his sleeve, and struck it in the direction of the other two swordsmen.

But what he heard was the crisp sound of the wooden wall collapsing. When he urged the spiritual energy in his body to shake off the blood in his body, he found that Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun had already broken the ropes mixed with steel wires on their bodies and both rushed out of the window of the alchemy room!

Wu Meng felt his body tremble with anger, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of pain or anger. He immediately rushed to the window, but Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun jumped on the eaves of the second floor outside. Seeing that he was about to chase him out, Pan Muyun immediately turned around and shouted, "Old Zeng, you go first. I'm also learning from Helian and practicing all my skills——"

Are you going to do that again?!

Wu Meng immediately stepped on the ground and turned his body to the side.

However, Pan Muyun said this without stopping. He immediately jumped off the roof with Zeng Jianqiu and disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Meng roared in anger, and the Five Mountains True Shape Map flew out of his hand with a buzzing sound. The third floor of the mountain lord's mansion made a loud noise, and in an instant it was blasted into half by the gust of air stirred up by the tablet.

Wherever the Huban passed, everything was destroyed, and the ground was boiling, gushing out countless stalagmites, deep pits and depressions, chasing the two people's footprints. The two swordsmen dodged left and right, and the soldiers in the mansion also gathered, but because Wu Meng had previously asked all the monks in the mansion to go to the coffin mountain, the soldiers could not stop them. Although the flying sword had been confiscated, he snatched a short dagger and wrapped it with a sword line, and immediately killed people and horses.

With these garrison soldiers around, Wu Meng found it difficult to attack. He jumped onto the roof of the second floor of the fortress and shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"

The man flew down following the sound, and the Five Mountains True Shape Map was also taken back by him. He raised his hand and tapped the tablet, ready to perform a ritual to trap the two people in place. With his spiritual cultivation, it would only take a thought for him to use this thing to perform a ritual. However, although the swordsman's blood essence of Helian Ji was dispersed just now, there was still a lot of it left in the blurred flesh and blood on his body.

The sword sect's essence in the blood and essence is still alive after a person's death and is still drilling into his body!
As a result, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body began to become mixed and impure. When he activated the Five Mountains True Shape Diagram, it was as difficult as when he was a beginner. When he wanted to use the diagram to perform some exercises, he felt that his breathing was not smooth and his mind was not clear, as if he had returned to the time when he was just building his foundation and refining his Qi.

What’s even more terrible is that in normal times, we should have asked for the Five Mountains Spirits at this moment!
However, he had already invited the spirit once when he used the Coffin Mountain Mansion to bring the three people into Lingshan. It would be very difficult to invite it again now. What's more, he had met a demon king in Lingshan before, and the bond between him and that thing was still there. He also had to worry about inviting the true spirit from Lingshan again, which would attract that thing as well!

In this moment of trance, he saw Zeng Jianqiu suddenly hit Pan Muyun's back with his palm. Pan Muyun used this force to rush forward several feet and dive into the darkness. But Zeng Jianqiu stood up from the ground and rushed towards him.

Wu Mengren was still in mid-air, with no way to avoid it, so he immediately threw the tablet towards Zeng Jianqiu.

But Zeng Jianqiu raised his hand and grabbed it with his left palm. A burst of flesh and blood came over with a bang and hit the tablet. The magic weapon immediately swung in the air and almost fell to the ground.

"You asked me why I wanted to be a swordsman!" Zeng Jianqiu shouted, "It's because it's so exciting! I dare to fight you to the death! Do you dare? Do you still remember whose last name is Zeng?!"

One rushed forward, and the other fell. Zeng Jianqiu shouted and stretched out his hand to pull at his chest. A piece of flesh was torn off, revealing the white bones. Under the bones, one could see a heart beating violently, blood surging, and the blood was brighter than the Five Mountains True Shape Map. "I taught Helian Ji that method! Try my power!"

He also wants to fight to the death!
This traitor!

Wu Meng cursed in his heart, but his scalp went numb and his body felt cold. He immediately raised his hand, tore off the remaining clothes on his body, and hit him with a bang. He used the force to dodge to the side.

The clothes did not wrap anyone, and he only dodged for a moment with his head turned sideways. When he fell to the ground, Zeng Jianqiu's figure could no longer be seen in the air!
This traitor!

treacherous!

The surrounding garrison troops gathered again, shouting "Mountain Master".

Wu Meng shouted: "Get out of here!"

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged on the ground, circulated his vital energy to force out all of Helian Ji's blood and energy in his body, then jumped back to the third floor of the fortress which was only half left, tore off a piece of clothing and put it on, stood on the stage, took a deep breath, and stared at the top of the Coffin Mountain in the distance.

He had never fought with a swordsman before. When he came to Coffin City to be the mountain master, he felt that the sect's method of killing the monsters and wild gods in the sacred mountain bit by bit and then slowly expanding outward seemed a bit too conservative.

But after what happened just now, he felt that these people were really difficult to deal with! To put it nicely, they were ready to die, but in fact, they were all evil heretics who were not worthy of cultivating immortality! They were all possessed by demons!
I have made a mistake now. Something that was originally a simple task has caused quite a stir in the city... This is all because I treated them as human beings before!
However, he now knew the most effective way to deal with these possessed creatures.

These swordsmen have the same temperament as animals! Earlier, Lou He said that he would spread the news that he was trapped to attract people. I thought that if he had a brain, he would never fall for it. But now I understand that animals are like this, acting entirely on instinct. When they see their fellows trapped, they immediately come to rescue without thinking. When they see that they can't escape, they don't know how to adapt to the situation, and they just want to fight to the death!
So he could guess where those two beasts would go.

Go to Coffin Mountain! Because I had previously asked people to go to Coffin Mountain to catch the one who escaped!

He rushed into the mountain of coffins in a daze, and found himself surrounded. He was about to explode with blood like a beast!

Then let’s see how much energy and blood you have!

Wu Meng picked up the scattered pills from the ground, put them all into his mouth without even looking at them, then found a bandage and wrapped it around his face, then jumped down and headed straight for the coffin mountain.
