Chapter 111: The Strange Temperament of the Old Ape
The secret place is behind Baihuatuo Waterfall.
The two people and the bird quickly climbed up the mountain. The higher the mountain, the more beautiful the scenery.
The clouds and mist on the mountainside are sometimes thick and sometimes thin, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, like ink painting or flowing clouds and water.
The two had no time to appreciate it. Xiao Kui stood on Zhao Wumian's shoulder and looked even more vicious.
Now that it has someone to back it up, its little eyes flash with the light of a ferocious bird. It keeps on unleashing its special powers, gathering hundreds of birds around it, just waiting to take revenge and teach those who hurt it a lesson!
As we approached the waterfall, a thunderous roar was heard.
Pushing aside the bushes and looking in the direction of the sound, you will see the Baihuatuo Waterfall rushing down the valley with the force of thunder, forming a huge white curtain of water, as majestic as a galloping warrior.
The huge sound of water covered up the fighting in the secret realm behind.
Both of them heard faint roars of beasts in the sound of water; a fight had already begun inside!
"Water Moon Barrier?"
Chang Meizhen was more and more surprised: "This is a barrier that can only be set up by a fourth-level sorcerer, and it's hidden in a place like this."
"There should be other things involved, so don't worry about him."
Zhao Wumian glanced at her and said, "You and Xiaokui stay outside. I'll come out after I get the Ice Chi Grass."
"……All right."
Chang Meizhen was not happy at all. She didn't want to be a spectator at such a fun thing. But Zhao Wumian was unmoved by her soft words and hard words. Playing with him would only make him annoyed. So she took Xiaokui and hid in the woods: "Then you better be careful!"
Zhao Wumian nodded and jumped across the waterfall.
Behind the waterfall is an ordinary mountain wall.
Only sorcerers could feel the faint magical power on the mountain wall. When they reached out to touch it, ripples appeared on the stone wall like a curtain of water.
The Water Moon Barrier is a famous illusion barrier. It is not as obvious as the Dark Barrier and can blend perfectly with the surrounding environment. But at the same time, it is almost undefended and can be entered as long as it is discovered.
Zhao Wumian exerted force, his hand passed through the barrier, and he was sucked in.
Behind the barrier, there is crystal lighting, red flowers and green trees. It is a magnificent secret cave, full of exotic flowers and plants. The quality is not high, but the flowers are in clusters and the fragrance is fragrant, which embellishes the entire secret realm very beautifully.
"It looks like a place where people live..."
Zhao Wumian thought for a moment. The roar from the depths was getting louder and louder. He no longer hesitated and followed the path in front of him straight into the mountain.
The further you go, the lower the temperature.
After walking less than a hundred meters, the trail came to an end. Zhao Wumian saw a huge cave under the cliff in front of him, which was very spacious.
Fifteen people from Wanshou Villa were surrounding and killing a giant ape that was 13 feet tall in the cave.
The giant ape had very different hair, dark blue all over, which was very conspicuous. He was full of muscles and looked like a smaller version of King Kong. Frosty air came out of his mouth when he breathed, and each of his punches was powerful and strong. The wind from his fists whistled, covering all directions and turning the ground into ice. It was very powerful!
Zhao Wumian could see that the [Ice Chi Grass] was extremely yin and cold. It must have consumed the treasures of heaven and earth to cause its innate true energy to undergo a mutation, which allowed it to practice such a fierce and cold boxing style. Coupled with its body of steel and iron and unparalleled strength, it was no wonder that Meng Yunzhou was unable to do anything to it.
Behind it, there is a stone door, and the cold air comes out from inside.
That should be where the secret book of [Ice Chi Grass] and [No Suspicion Between Humans and Animals] is located.
"Everyone, come together! Hold it back!"
Meng Yunzhou watched as the old monkey fought harder and harder, roaring and throwing punch after punch. Two of his disciples had already been hit by his punches and fell to the ground. The poison was not working, and he got anxious and shouted, "Yunchuan! Hurry up!"
Meng Yunchuan was releasing poison outside the battle area, using his internal force to drive the poisonous smoke towards the old monkey.
This [Nepane Bone] is a highly toxic substance unique to the Myriad Beasts Villa. No matter how ferocious the beast is, as long as it is not at the fourth realm, it can definitely be knocked down with one bottle. The old monkey in front of him obviously has not reached the fourth realm, so for some reason, it has not been effective.
Meng Yunchuan said: "The spicy bone..."
Meng Yunzhou said quickly: "Don't worry about it for now! I underestimated this beast. It has lived for so long and has taken earth-level treasures. I'm afraid it has become immune to all poisons. Let's just force it! Use the Forget Mechanism Technique!"
"it is good!"
Meng Yunchuan immediately took out a clay xun from his arms, poured all his energy into it, and started playing it.
Meng Changfeng had two sons. The eldest son inherited his sword skills, and the second son inherited his animal taming skills.
"Su Shu" says to control beasts with Qi. When one reaches the highest level, one can distinguish the language of birds in the nine heavens and the language of beasts on the nine earths. The root of this lies in "Qi".
It is not easy to communicate with spirits through Qi, but it is not difficult to control it forcibly.
Just like the Miaojiang sonic power to control insects, you don’t need to know what they say, you just need to obey, and almost every Gu Master can do it.
This goes against the main purpose of "The Book of Su", but it is the main direction of practice for countless people after they obtain the secret technique. This is true for Meng Changfeng, and it is also true for Meng Yunchuan, who is of the same lineage as him!
The sound of the xun is melodious and mournful, like resentment, longing, crying and complaining.
Zhao Wumian couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was very surprised that the sound of the xiao could actually affect him. It was as if there was an ancient power hidden in the sound waves, like the earth's wailing, touching his heart.
The Xun is the oldest musical instrument in China.
It was originally made to imitate the calls of birds and animals and used to lure prey, and then gradually evolved into a pure musical instrument.
Its timbre is simple and unsophisticated, and is the closest to the Taoist sound of nature among all musical instruments.
This kind of musical instrument is most compatible with the true Qi of "Su Shu"!
Even though "With Beasts and Forgetting the Machine" is mainly aimed at walking animals, it is also attractive to flying birds. The lower the realm, the greater the impact!
"Roar!"
As soon as the sound of the xiao rang out, the fierce attack of the gibbon immediately eased. A look of pain appeared on its face, and it covered its ears with its hands, as if it was fighting against the sound waves.
Meng Yunzhou was overjoyed: "Go!"
Give an order.
Two disciples immediately cast a heavy iron net, which was rotating to cover the gibbon. Several iron balls were hung on the outside of the iron net. Once they fell on the gibbon's head, the outside sank and kept rotating. Under the effect of inertia, the whole giant net bound the gibbon's hands and feet tightly!
It's now!
"A tiger roars in the empty mountain!"
Meng Yunzhou roared, his true energy burst out, and his long sword pointed diagonally at the ground.
Yu Chengcai and Ma Xiong attacked at the same time, using the same move.
The three three realms stood at the three positions, lowered their bodies slightly, and burst out in an instant, and the sword light suddenly lit up in the secret realm!
The three men seemed to have transformed into fierce tigers, and with their delicate footwork, they swung eight sword strikes around the gibbon at lightning speed. Each sword was aimed directly at the vital points, as fast as lightning. The powerful sword energy spread all over the place, and it was extremely powerful!
Eight methods of imitation: Tiger roars in the empty mountain!
"Roar!!!"
The weapons in the hands of the three men were all extraordinary items, and they attacked the eyes, patella, crotch, soul gate and other weakly defended places. The gibbon howled in pain, blood splattered, and it was immediately awakened by the sound waves. It struggled hard with its arms, and terrifying true energy vibrated out, knocking the three men away.
It tore the chains on its body apart and threw the iron net in its hand towards Meng Yunchuan as a weapon!
"Second Master, be careful!"
A disciple stood in front of Meng Yunchuan and chopped fiercely with a knife. The long knife collided with the iron net, splashing sparks.
The disciple retreated more than ten steps, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The gibbon took advantage of the situation and took big steps. Its legs were like drumsticks, hitting the ground and making it vibrate. In the blink of an eye, it got close to the disciple and smashed him with a punch. Amid screams, it hammered the disciple into a pulp, and blood splattered all over Meng Yunchuan's face!
Blood splattered all over Meng Yunchuan's body. When he was horrified, the gibbon's second punch had already hit his head!
"not good!"
Everyone was shocked.
The fist wind was looming, and Meng Yunchuan had no way to escape.
At the critical moment, Meng Yunzhou flashed, gritted his teeth and raised his knife to block the second punch. The huge force of the punch was like a mountain falling from the sky, knocking him to half-kneel on the ground. With a thud, his true energy exploded, a deep hole was smashed on his knee, and the ground collapsed!
Meng Yunzhou vomited blood and was seriously injured!
"Big brother!"
Meng Yunchuan screamed in shock.
The gibbon was on the rise to kill and was about to attack again. Yu Chengcai and Ma Xiong quickly came over to help and stop the gibbon.
The gibbon was huge, with skin of steel and bones, and it was extremely powerful. With its continuous powerful punches, it could easily split mountains and shatter rocks. The stone wall exploded and rocks flew everywhere. This time, without Meng Yunchuan to share the pressure, they were quickly defeated by the two of them. Their sternums were broken by two punches, and they flew backwards.
Just as the entire army of Wanshou Villa was about to be wiped out, suddenly, the gibbon stopped moving and turned to look towards the stone gate.
There suddenly appeared a person there, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but his aura was extremely terrifying, as if a real dragon was standing in front of him. The terrifying dragon power made the gibbon tremble uncontrollably.
The others also noticed it, and while their hearts were trembling, they finally got a breath. Zhao Wumian glanced at them calmly, raised one hand and pressed it on the boulder, his power burst out, and silver-white dragon scales appeared on his palm and arm. He shook it hard, and with a loud bang, the entire stone door collapsed in an instant!
The air was filled with smoke. He dusted himself off and strode in.
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The brothers Meng Yunzhou and Meng Yunchuan were dumbfounded. They had also tried to entangle the gibbon and find someone else to push open the stone door and take out the secret book and elixir, but the huge door was formed in one piece, extremely hard, and weighed tens of thousands of pounds. If they didn't know where the mechanism was, they couldn't open it with human power. The giant ape was so ferocious that it didn't give them time to find the mechanism. They could only think of a way to get rid of it first and then slowly look for it. Unexpectedly...
its not right!
Who is this person?
The disciples covered their wounds with bewildered looks. The operation was so secretive, how could this outsider be here?
Only Meng Yunzhou felt somewhat familiar. He quickly remembered that this person was one of the guests who had eaten in the lobby of Ping'an Inn before. At that time, seeing that he had no internal strength, he just thought he was just a passerby. Unexpectedly, he had such strength!
Could it be that he came here for the treasure?
The gibbon became anxious and abandoned the Meng brothers, rushing towards Zhao Wumian, punching him again with such ferocious force that Zhao Wumian didn't even turn his head and raised his hand to block the falling punch.
Compared with the mountain-like sturdy body of the Gibbon, Zhao Wumian is nothing to mention. That is why, when he holds up the giant palm with one hand, it feels like he is holding up the sky with one hand!
What a terrifying power!
Amid the increasingly astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhao Wumian used his backhand move [Blue Sea Calming Wave Palm], and the azure palm print slapped the gibbon's abdomen. The gibbon's huge body immediately flew backwards more than ten feet, and smashed heavily on the mountain wall, shattering the mountain that was several feet high!
The rocks rumbled and the falling stones buried the gibbon underneath!
one move!
The noisy cave became quiet.
Everyone looked at the giant gibbon that was buried alive, and then looked at Zhao Wumian. There was deathly silence.
Zhao Wumian strode in and found that there was a tomb chamber inside the stone door. Although its specifications were far inferior to Chang Yuchun's underground palace, it was generally very similar. There was also an ice coffin made of ten thousand year old black ice, but it was much smaller.
Under the ice coffin is an ice bed, under the ice bed is a cold spring, in the cold spring grow two [Ice Chi Grass].
Zhao Wumian walked towards the ice grass.
Yu Chengcai immediately shouted: "What are you going to do——"
"shut up!"
Meng Yunzhou immediately interrupted him with a cough, and stood up with the help of Meng Yunchuan. He saluted Zhao Wumian solemnly and said, "Thank you for saving my life. May I ask your name?"
Zhao Wumian stepped on the stones and came to the edge of the ice grass: "The parrot you caught is mine."
"..."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening. Meng Yunzhou thought to himself that it was no wonder that he had come to his house. He smiled awkwardly and apologized immediately: "I just happened to see it on the street and thought it was an ownerless thing. I was so excited to see the prey that I took advantage of it. Please forgive me!"
On the street?
Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows.
Ma Xiong was anxious: "Young Master, you..."
"All right!"
Meng Yunzhou said impatiently: "If it weren't for this brother's help, you and I would have been buried under the fist of the Tongbi ape! The treasures in the secret realm have always been obtained by those who are capable. There is no need to say more about this matter, let's go!"
He turned around and left, using his lightness skills to fly out of the cave, climb up the cliff, and land on the path. He actually threw away the precious treasure from the secret realm that he had been determined to get before.
Meng Yunchuan and others were puzzled by what he meant. Yu Chengcai and Ma Xiong looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
The young master is not that kind of person, right?
Zhao Wumian sneered in his heart and stood beside the cold spring, practicing the "Food Qi to Nourish the Organs Method" on one of the plants. As the seals changed, the yin and yang energies in his body kept changing and becoming more and more subtle. Zhao Wumian once again had that mysterious feeling.
Before his eyes, he seemed to see a beating heart, expanding lungs, and a rising and changing spleen...
His sense of his five internal organs became deeper and deeper, and his mind became empty.
The time has come.
Zhao Wumian took a light breath, and in an instant, the ice dragon grass withered and dissipated, turning into a breath of essence that flowed into his nose, passed through his heart and lungs, cleansed his five internal organs, and merged into one...
Zhao Wumian felt his whole body lighten and refreshed, thinking that it was indeed an Earth-grade spiritual plant, one plant was worth three top-grade Profound-grade Blue Spring Flowers. At that moment, he clearly felt that his five internal organs were beating more powerfully, his body became more relaxed, and all his fatigue was swept away. He felt light-headed and refreshed!
The feeling is intoxicating.
When the people in Wanshou Villa saw his strange magic, they became more wary.
Meng Yunzhou took the lead and walked faster, with a deep murderous intent in his eyes!
After walking out of the 100-meter path and out of the barrier, Xiao Kui, who was ready for revenge, saw that they hadn't made any move yet. Meng Yunzhou's face changed, and he turned around and threw five Sky Thunder Seeds at the barrier:
"Die to me!!!"
Yu Chengcai and Ma Xiong then realized that the opponent's Tonggi ape had no power to fight back, and they were already seriously injured, so they naturally couldn't do anything to him. But it didn't matter, no matter how strong a person was, they couldn't stop the power of nature. As long as the Tianlei Zi exploded and caused a mountain collapse, it would kill the person inside!
Although such a big fuss would certainly attract attention, as there were so many summer resorts built on the mountain, many of which were built by famous people, he could not care less now. He had to stop the other party from taking away the secret technique first before he could have any future.
"Do it!"
The two of them also joined in, taking out thunder bombs and heavenly thunder bullets and throwing them all in.
The other disciples followed suit and threw out explosives one after another.
Wanshou Villa is engaged in the business of capturing and selling exotic beasts. It is large and powerful, and very close to the Tang Sect of Bashu. It has always been a major customer of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and gunpowder.
I came from afar for "No Suspicion Between Man and Animals" this time, so naturally I brought a lot with me. Originally, I used them just in case, but now I can use them to blow up the secret realm!
The terrain of this secret realm is special. The entrance to the barrier faces a 100-meter trail. At the end of the 100-meter trail is a cliff, and under the cliff is a cave in the mountain.
The explosives can just fly horizontally through the cave and land on the opposite mountain. Once they explode, they will blow up the supporting points of the entire mountain.
This mountain will collapse!
They seemed to have seen the end of Zhao Wumian being smashed into a meat paste, and they all smiled.
Chang Meizhen and Xiao Kui who were hiding in the dark were startled, but they reacted quickly. It would take time for the mountain to collapse. Zhao Wumian had the Mengji robe, so he could put it on right away. Even if the whole mountain was blown up, he still couldn't be hurt.
The expressions of the man and the bird changed from worry to relief.
Chang Meizhen looked at the crazy expressions on their faces and thought to herself that they were simply courting death!
She had not known Zhao Wumian for a long time, but she had already understood his temper. Zhao Wumian was a bit like the "Duke Zhuang of Zheng" in history. He had a bottom line, but most people could not figure it out.
For example, he came here this time to get the Ice Chi Grass because Wanshou Villa attacked Xiao Kui first, and he wanted to pay back the favor. As long as the people of Wanshou Villa could endure this time, he would never attack them, and would never touch anything else. This was his bottom line.
But once these people can't stand it anymore, it's over...
If you touch one of my things, I will touch ten of your things.
You want my life, I want all of your lives!
——"Duke Zheng defeats Duke Duan in Yan".
Chang Meizhen had heard this story from her mother. It mainly tells the story of a life-and-death struggle between Duke Zhuang of Zheng and his younger brother Gong Shuduan for the throne.
Duke Zhuang of Zheng designed a conspiracy and deliberately indulged his younger brother Gong Shuduan and his mother Wu Jiang. His younger brother became arrogant and wanted to seize the throne, so Duke Zhuang of Zheng used this as an excuse to attack Gong Shuduan.
Zhao Wumian was like this before taking action. He would first establish his own principles. Things are things, people are people, but he would not remind them explicitly, saying that he only wanted the Ice Chi Grass or something like that, nor would he deliberately lure the other party into taking action. He would just wait for the other party to make a choice.
If you make the wrong choice, you will be killed without mercy!
It turned out that she was right.
The next moment.
There was a loud rumbling sound in the cave, and the earth was shaking. Just as Meng Yunzhou and others were showing a proud look, a figure appeared behind them, holding a long knife and attacking at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, sixteen of the eighteen people lost their heads. Heads flew into the sky one by one, and blood gushed out like a fountain under the waterfall!
By the time Meng Yunzhou and Meng Yunchuan reacted, the people around them, including the two third-level brothers, had turned into headless corpses.
Instantly!
A huge fear swept through their bodies. Meng Yunzhou and Meng Yunchuan stared at the indifferent figure with their eyes wide open. Their hair stood on end, their bodies trembled, and their hearts were pounding!
"Your Excellency——"
Meng Yunzhou trembled and tried to beg for mercy.
Zhao Wumian raised his finger, put it to his lips, made a "hush" gesture, and said lightly: "Don't talk too much, I'm only interested in what's in your mind..."
"what!!!"
Screams sounded.
Zhao Wumian pinched his fingers and cast a spell, and the puppet threads that could search their souls and read their minds were inserted fiercely into the back of their heads!
