Chapter 282 God Lives There
Chapter 282 God Lives There
The sun rises in the east and the wind and snow disappear.
Longyin Peak was quite lively. When Li Yuan walked slowly over, he saw that there were crowds of people outside Chu Xuankong's yard. It was a grand banquet.
"This Hall Master Chu is holding a grand banquet. It is said that he has sent out more than 600 invitations. If you don't know, you might think it is a grand master's ceremony!"
On the mountain path, Li Yuan looked out from afar. Wang Peiyao, wearing a white fox fur cloak, stood to one side and whispered:
"He not only invited a group of elders, helmsmen, and deputy hall masters, but also sent many invitations to new inner disciples. Yue Chongtian and others were also invited..."
“It’s really puzzling.”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing. He just chatted with Wang Peiyao about the exciting things happening in Hengshan City and in the martial arts world over the past six months.
Miss Wang had no talent for martial arts, and only achieved internal strength after receiving instruction from Li Yuan. However, she was an expert at dealing with people and gathering intelligence.
I have been in Hengshan City for less than a year, but I already feel like a know-it-all.
"A few days ago, a sister from Longyin Hall mentioned to me while we were having dinner that the eldest brother was going down the mountain to pick up an important person from the capital."
"A big shot in the capital?"
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.
Although the martial arts performance will not begin for more than two years, the sects that are farther away may have already set out, and more and more people from the martial arts world have come to join in the fun recently.
However, there are not many people who can make Long Xinglie travel thousands of miles to meet him.
"According to that sister, the person who came seems to be the disciple of the Zhenwu King..."
"The disciple of King Zhenwu?"
Li Yuan's heart was shocked: "Yan Chunyang?"
King Zhenwu Wan Zhuliu has been at the top of the God List for decades and is recognized by the martial arts world as the best in the world. The Demon-Subduing Dragon Sword in his hand is unmatched in killing power.
He was the head of Zhenwu Hall, the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, and the Supreme Pillar of the State. He was not a martial artist. He had commanded countless generals, but he had only one disciple.
"I heard that the King of Zhenwu only has this disciple."
Wang Peiyao nodded. After all, it was just a casual conversation after drinking. She didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so it was not appropriate to say anything. What if the King of Zhenwu accepted another disciple?
Those who work in intelligence must not only have a wide range of ears and eyes, but also be accurate.
“This guy is very low-key.”
Li Yuan thought about it and realized that apart from his name, he had not heard much about Yan Chunyang.
“Very low-key.”
Wang Peiyao nodded: "Regarding this person, I only remember a rumor, which I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that when this person was born, thousands of temples in the imperial capital shook, and the gods blessed him...
It’s quite exaggerated anyway.”
“It’s quite exaggerated.”
Li Yuan was a little nonchalant, his eyes wandering as he looked at a young man with a stern face and a long sword on his back not far away.
"Shan Hong, this is one of the two true teachings of Longmen..."
Wang Peiyao lowered her voice, but Shan Hong, who was dozens of meters away, still looked up at her. Her eyes were as fast as lightning, cold and murderous as a sharp sword unsheathed.
"Brother Shan Hong."
Li Yuan protected Wang Peiyao behind him without leaving a trace and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Li Yuan?"
Shan Hong glanced at him and did not return the greeting, but walked straight to Chu Xuankong's yard.
"There are six true disciples in the sect, two from each of the three branches. I heard that Shan Hong is interested in the leader of Longmen and has met the leader many times before."
Wang Peiyao was still a little frightened. When she saw that glance, her eyes went dark. If Li Yuan hadn't blocked it, she would have been frightened to death.
"Ah."
Li Yuan nodded. He had heard this news from the Lingyin Talisman, but there was a flicker in his eyes, and he didn't care about it.
But just now, he saw a familiar and dazzling blood light:
[Cold Blade Bone Sword (Level 6)]
[…Pile of bones bred Yin iron, stream of spiritual blood tempered the cold blade, Yin evil gathered in the land, the sword forged by the master craftsman contained sword spirit, and had the hope of becoming a divine weapon…]
[Control conditions: Fourth level of the White Bone Bodhisattva Worship Method, third level of the God Worship Method, successful marrow refining]
[Control Effect: Level 7 (Pale Gold): Sword Heart Clear
Level 6 (yellow): White Bone Bodhisattva Dharma Fifth Level, Divine Sword Technique (incomplete), White Bone Dharma (incomplete)]
It is a quasi-divine weapon that is expected to be among the divine weapons, and it comes from the Evil God Cult!
Shan Hong had already gone far away, but Li Yuan seemed to still be able to see the long sword with blood and gold, and he felt a little heavy in his heart:
"The true teachings of the Dragon and Tiger Temple have also been bewitched by the Evil God Cult?"
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Li Yuan felt something was wrong.
There may be traitors in Longhu Temple and even in other Taoist sects, but they are all seriously injured and dying, or old and dying.
Shan Hong is a true disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Temple and is in his prime. It is unlikely that he would join the Evil God Cult. Even if he did, it is impossible for him to carry this sword so openly.
On the mountain road, the two stopped for a long time. After chatting, Wang Peiyao went down the mountain with the gold notes. She was responsible for collecting the bones and skins of spiritual animals and recruiting shoemakers.
"The evil cult is really everywhere."
Li Yuan said to himself, let alone immortality, even the temptation of prolonging one's life is too great.
He couldn't help but practice this evil skill, let alone those who are nearing the end of their lives. This is the reason why the Evil God Cult has been repeatedly banned but still persists.
He looked at the dragon stele beside him. He was now ranked 31st on the Dragon List, while Shan Hong was ranked third. He had made great progress in marrow refining and was almost as good as Xin Wenhua.
"If I don't activate the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, can I win?"
A thought flashed through Li Yuan’s mind.
During the past six months, he would fight with the Ghost-faced Man of the Tongmai level on the Upside-down Mountain every now and then. With the help of a Thunder Dragon Juntian Hammer, he could quickly defeat him.
When Old Han had mastered the art of meridian opening, he could fight against marrow-refining warriors with the help of a magical armor and was undefeated.
But he still has two Thunder Dragon Juntian Hammers.
He thought to himself that even if Shan Hong was stronger than Huangfu Kun, he might not be his opponent, even if he did not activate the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. Perhaps because of his great improvement in martial arts and the magic weapon in his hand, he was actually eager to try it out, which was unacceptable.
"I am a Taoist priest, not a martial artist. I don't like to be brave and aggressive... Either I kill with one strike, or I wait for the right opportunity."
Li Yuan thought to himself: "Hmm...if I attack by surprise, I should be able to kill him quickly?"
He has his own principles and bottom line.
As the saying goes, immortality is the most important thing in the Taoist way. What Taoists pursue is immortality and ascension to heaven. Although he is just a wild Taoist priest who is not recognized by the Taoists,
However, Master Li Dao agreed with this and rejected any behavior that would endanger himself.
If he can launch a sneak attack, he will do so. If he can't, he will wait for the opportunity. This is his bottom line and he must never cross it.
"How does that saying go? It's like a tiger lying on a desolate hill, hiding its claws and fangs and enduring..."
Master Li was mumbling in his heart. Seeing that it was almost noon, he took a quick inventory of the various weapons and boots on the gray stone platform.
Then he walked slowly towards Chu's house.
In broad daylight, in the Great Dragon Gate, he was naturally not afraid that Chu Xuankong would go crazy, but it was always better to be safe.
……
The Chu residence was very lively, and the aroma of wine and meat could be smelled from far away.
With the help of several disciples, Chu Xuankong greeted everyone one by one. Seeing his graying hair and cloudy eyes, the guests all stood up to greet him, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Before the retreat, Chu Xuankong had a handsome face and was well maintained. At first glance, he looked like a young man. But now, he looks like he is about to die.
"Everyone, have fun!"
After meeting all the guests one by one, Chu Xuankong returned to the backyard with the help of his disciples.
"Go back."
Waving his hand to let several disciples leave, Chu Xuankong straightened his back. Apart from the graying hair, there was no trace of old age on his face.
He walked into the room, took out the 'Thousand Spirits Saving People Stele' from his sleeve, and exhaled his true energy. A red light seemed to flash before his eyes.
The thousand-eyed idol opened its eyes in his heart:
"No."
"Still not?"
Chu Xuankong frowned:
"Then is Li Yuanba's Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer really in the Dragon and Tiger Temple?"
As the deputy head of Longyin Hall, how could he not know the sect’s attitude towards the seriously injured and dying elders within the sect?
He was taking a risk by holding a grand banquet.
"exist!"
The answer in the Thousand Spirits Saving People Monument was still the same. Chu Xuankong was already a little impatient. He didn't want to stay in the mountains at all. It was too dangerous for him.
Even if the Taoist master and the hall masters are not there, he will surely die once he is discovered.
"Find."
The sound coming from the monument was still brief.
"try to find……"
Chu Xuankong took a deep breath and suppressed his annoyance. His injuries were barely suppressed. If he wanted to recover, he could only rely on this stele.
"Master, Li Yuan is here."
At this time, Gao Wanyong came quickly into the yard.
"Li Yuan!"
Chu Xuankong's eyes turned cold, and then his back slumped, his eyes became cloudy, he stretched out his hand for Gao Wanyong to support him, and walked slowly towards the front yard.
"Uncle Li, I'd like to offer you a toast!"
"Junior Brother Li, is it my turn to get my top-grade sword?"
"Junior Brother Li, I have been looking for you for a few times but haven't seen you. We must have a good chat after the banquet..."
……
Before Chu Xuankong even reached the front yard, he heard voices that were much more lively than before.
He looked with a wooden face. The front yard was crowded with people. Guests stood up to greet them. Among the crowd, Li Yuan smiled and bowed in response.
"If you have some free time after the banquet, you brothers can come to my place for a small gathering."
Li Yuan was greeting the elders and disciples he was familiar with, not caring at all whether he was stealing the show, but his eyes were sweeping towards Chu Xuankong.
Good guy? !
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched.
A flash of light that was red to black flashed before his eyes, and it was very dazzling.
[Thousand Spirits Monument for Saving People (Level 6)]
[…It is made of the stone powder of one thousand statues of the Thousand Spirits Bodhisattva, and is tempered by incense. It contains a hundred years of incense. It can be used as a temporary sedan chair for the gods and can be used for worship ceremonies…]
[There is... God dwelling in it]
? ? !
Li Yuan's pupils contracted violently, and he didn't even have time to look at the conditions and effects of controlling the monument of salvation. He immediately looked away, his heart beating faster.
"In this monument... God resides inside?"
There were people around greeting him, and Li Yuan responded, feeling shaken in his heart.
Over the years, he had heard a lot about the legends and deeds of the gods of luck, and he had been to many temples, but this was the first time he saw a "god".
"Junior Brother Li?"
Li Yuan looked up and saw Chu Xuankong coming out from the corridor in the backyard. Chu Xuankong's old eyes were cloudy and he stretched out his hand to greet him. There was a dead silence that chilled his heart:
"If you have nothing else to do, how about coming to the backyard for a drink?"
