Chapter 82: Thieves steal sheep! [Qingwei summons Lei Liying Talisman]
"Yuerong girl, what's wrong?"
At the entrance of the black market, a wealthy middle-aged man wearing a bull-head mask looked at the graceful young woman beside him with some surprise, and sent a telepathic message:
"I just asked you to pay the money, why are you looking around so absent-mindedly?"
"Yue Rong" wearing a peach blossom mask shook her head:
"Uncle Mu Sheng, I don't know either. I just had a sudden impulse and thought of my missing grandfather."
The man with the bull-head mask was a little surprised:
"Have you met him?"
"Never."
"His soul lamp has gone out. It is impossible for him to survive. Don't think too much about it."
The wealthy middle-aged man said this and left.
Seeing this, Yuerong sighed softly, and followed without saying anything.
The two men entered a shop, and soon came out leading a dozen lambs.
"Baa~baa~baa~"
When the lambs saw the crowd, they became very excited and kept shouting and struggling.
However, they were all tied up with ropes, and the more they struggled, the more painful it became.
"Snapped!"
Yuerong, a beautiful woman in a bad mood, looked fierce, swung the whip in her hand, and shouted:
"Find a fight!"
The lamb cried out incessantly as the whip came down one after another. It no longer dared to struggle and followed the two men obediently.
"Baa! Baa!"
Amid the bleating of a group of lambs, Mu Sheng and Yue Rong quickly left the black market and turned into the dim green forest.
A mountain breeze swept past, and the air was filled with fog.
A man and a woman herding the sheep disappeared into the night.
I don’t know how much time passed.
A man and a woman were driving their lambs to a deserted valley near the mountains.
In the mountain fog, a flock of lambs were being driven, bleating.
However, a frightened and childish cry seemed very abrupt.
But, among the flock of sheep, a chubby boy in linen clothes appeared at some point. He was looking around in the darkness with horror, looking extremely frightened and crying loudly.
Yue Rong glanced at him, looking unhappy:
"The thieves hiding treasures in Qingmu's place are really bad. The blinding method of [stealing] can suddenly fail. If this scene happens in the market, there is no need to worry about attracting disasters!"
"It's not surprising that the tricks used by small places are crude."
Mu Sheng shook his head, not feeling surprised.
The recent changes in Aoki have attracted many unorthodox people, whose methods vary in quality, so some omissions are inevitable.
"If the Sect Master hadn't been eager to accomplish something great and urgently needed virgin boys and girls, he would never have come to them. With their crude methods, we can't guarantee that one day we will be implicated by them and follow the clues to let the Demon Suppression Division come after us."
Yue Rong nodded slightly, but she was not interested in the local thieves in Qingmu. She was still thinking about her grandfather:
"Uncle Master, then why don't we look for my grandpa? We must see him alive or dead. We can't let my grandpa die in vain. He seemed to want to go find that young doctor Qiu that night. Uncle Master, how about..."
"It's not urgent."
Mu Sheng shook his head, his tone firm:
"Last time, one of our people was arrested. This clue is likely to be exposed. We must not act rashly. As long as the mission is accomplished, the sect master can successfully subdue the demon and obtain the fate of immortality, and then he can enter the realm of incarnation. By then, our Mukui Sect will be able to rise in Changle Prefecture, get rid of the unorthodox ways, and become a major force in the cultivation of immortals. This is the top priority!"
"This"
Yue Rong was speechless and unable to refute.
"It's not like I can't help you with this matter. The big thing has been decided, so everything can be discussed."
When Mu Sheng saw the woman with drooping eyebrows, graceful figure, youthful and lively, greed arose in his heart and he smiled evilly:
"Girl Yuerong, you probably don't want your grandfather to die in obscurity."
Yue Rong saw the meaning of Mu Sheng's fiery gaze, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then she looked at her uncle with a pair of pitiful eyes:
"Uncle Master, after that is done, are you willing to help me?"
As she spoke, Yue Rong's voice became more and more gentle, making people involuntarily want to protect her.
Mu Shengben was walking on his own. When he heard the gentle voice, he turned around and looked at the young and beautiful Yuerong who took his arm.
Something soft came close to him, making him feel a little dizzy.
Suddenly, he understood something, and his fat face was full of satisfaction and joy:
"Okay, okay, once the matter of the Sect Master is done and the storm has passed, I will definitely accompany you!"
"Thank you, uncle."
The woman felt nauseous in her heart, but she had a charming smile on her face and looked very graceful.
"A thief steals a sheep."
On the distant hilltop, the view was vast. Qiu Zhen's [clairvoyance] could see from seven or eight miles away the lamb turning into a child.
Possessing the power of clairvoyance, he had already seen through the deception and was not surprised at all.
Previously, at Qingmu Pharmacy, he had heard from a martial artist who was a treasure-holding person that there were people in their "treasure-holding" sect who were vicious, didn't follow the rules, and were only interested in profit. They would use some sleight of hand to catch any "loose sheep" they saw.
Among all the major side doors in the world, the door of stealing is considered the biggest one.
Thieves, bandits, grave diggers
Among all kinds of thieves, the Jianghu Treasure Hunters are the most legitimate branch of thieves. They roam the suburbs and wilderness, searching for treasures everywhere.
There are rules for treasure hunters in the serious underworld: they only steal things that have no owner, and they steal treasures from heaven and earth.
But there are also some dishonest treasure hunters who specialize in "stealing" for the sole purpose of profit.
As long as something is valuable, you can get it.
In the current Qingmu area, after the disaster, victims flocked in from all directions. There was a shortage of everything except people.
No matter whether you have a partner or not, just hold your hand.
Countryside children are considered to be quite valuable “loose sheep”, easy to sell, and most likely to attract “treasure-hunters” to take action.
He was strolling around the black market just now, but he didn't realize that there was human trafficking going on there.
When a child falls into the hands of suspected "evil practitioners", the fate of the child is self-evident.
"Sir, aren't we going to take action?"
Baizhu was eager to try.
"Of course we have to do it."
Qiu Zhen's tone was firm. He just wanted to practice well and didn't want to cause any trouble.
Unfortunately, the young woman was a threat to him.
The old man Yuanhua was seriously injured, so he let the woman serve him at his side. Even if they were not real "grandfather and granddaughter", they were still very close people.
Afterwards, the young woman might hold a grudge against him and cause trouble for him, causing him to be involved in the trouble again.
In order to have peace in the future, he left the black market early with An Huayu. After saying goodbye, he turned back to look for the woman.
"Bai Shu, you just protect me."
Under the circumstances, Qiu Zhen was bound to take action, but it was inconvenient for him and Bai Shu to do so.
The identity of the young genius doctor Qiu from Yaowang Valley is clean. Even if the young woman is really captured alive by the Demon Suppression Division, he still has room to mediate.
But if I were to act in my true identity as Qiu Zhen, any mistake would lead to big trouble.
He can still strike a balance between the two.
As a cultivator, fighting is his strong point. He can decide the outcome from a distance of miles, so there is no need to put himself in danger.
Speaking of which, the young woman was quite ordinary, just at the acquired realm, not much of a figure, while the portly middle-aged man next to her had an extremely powerful aura.
Suspected to have become a "Yin God".
If it happened a few days ago, this matter might have been a bit tricky.
Qiu Zhen was not sure whether he could defeat the opponent.
And now.
Qiu Zhen took off the sword-shaped wooden hairpin from her hair and threw it away casually.
"call out!"
"Son!"
The wooden hairpin turned into a small human-shaped tree stump, and bowed towards Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen was very happy when he saw the little wood elf.
His confidence came from the little wood elf. On the high platform in the mountains, a simple altar was built.
With a "ripping" sound, Qiu Zhen took off his brocade clothes, divided them into five pieces, used tree branches as flags, and placed them around the altar to respond to the five thunder gods.
"Xiao Zaozi, transform into a sword!"
Qiu Zhen let out a low shout, and the little wood elf transformed itself into a wooden sword and flew into his hands.
With the magic sword in hand, Qiu Zhen, who was operating the internal lightning energy, vaguely discovered that the connection between his soul and the heaven and earth became purer.
"Tonight the clouds are rolling in, it's a good time to perform a ritual to summon thunder!"
Qiu Zhen looked up at the sky, his heart beating fast.
The most powerful thunder technique in his hand is the [Golden Lightning Talisman], which poses a great threat to innate martial artists and Yin Shen masters, and is one of his reliances. However, the [Golden Lightning Talisman] cannot cast spells and injure people from miles away.
Unless the Yin spirit leaves the body.
But that was too risky, even riskier than for Qiu Zhen himself to take action.
The best way is to use thunder to kill the evil spirits several miles away.
In the "Qingwei Dan Jue", there is a [Qingwei Zhaolei Liying Fu], which can drive away thunder and summon thunder to exorcise demons.
Among all kinds of magic, thunder magic is the most powerful. It can control thunder and lightning and can destroy any demon or evil spirit.
In fact, with his current level of cultivation, he is not yet able to control thunder.
However, things are different with the little wood elf.
The little wood spirit is a sacred tree struck by lightning, naturally endowed with the most rigid and masculine power of the five thunders.
With the sword of warding off evil as a medium, if God is favorable and there is thunder in the sky, he, with his primordial spirit and Dharma body, will be able to "move a thousand pounds with a little effort" and summon thunder to exorcise demons and enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Qiu Zhen held the jujube wood magic sword that was struck by lightning, stepped on the Gang Bu Dou, chanted the mantra for purifying the mouth, purifying the heart, and purifying the body, and thought of the "Yin and Yang Thunder God" in his body, resonating with the magic sword transformed by the little wood spirit.
"Zizzizi!"
The next moment, Qiu Zhen's clothes fluttered, the wind blew, and his whole body was wrapped in thunder. Thunder talismans appeared out of thin air in the void and flew around him, making him look like a god of thunder.
Deep in the sea of consciousness, the soul Qiu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, shining with golden light.
Qiu Zhen, who was practicing the Gangbu Dou, had a golden pattern appearing between his eyebrows, and a vertical pupil faintly revealed.
With the blessing of his primordial spirit and Dharma body, at that moment, he was free from all dust inside and outside, his mind was clear and bright, and his body and mind were one with the void.
Faintly, he actually had a feeling that "I am the heaven and the earth, the heaven and the earth are me, and we forget each other."
“What a show!”
Qiu Zhen was very excited.
With the help of his primordial spirit, the little wood spirit and the right timing, he performed [Controlling Thunder] for the first time, and it was incredibly smooth, achieving the state of "unity of body and mind, unity of mind and heaven".
That was when Qiu Zhen was performing the ritual.
A few miles away, suddenly, a strong wind blew among the hills, howling and rolling.
In an instant, clouds and mist rose up around Mu Sheng and Yue Rong and spread out in all directions. The sounds of children crying and lambs bleating filled the air.
"Uncle Master, what happened?"
Yue Rong became very nervous when she saw this. Without the clouds to cover her figures and sounds, the crying children and the howling lambs made quite a noise. If this attracted Qingmu's patrolling martial artists, it would be a big trouble.
"Someone has used magic to break our spell."
Mu Sheng's expression darkened, but he showed no fear at all, and he threw his bulky robe aside.
Two gray lights flashed, and two mechanical beasts, each ten feet tall, protected Mu Sheng.
One tiger and one leopard, each mechanical beast exudes a powerful aura, and faintly, it has the aura of an innate-level monster.
Perhaps because of the mechanical beasts' protection, Mu Sheng became much more resilient. He released his spiritual awareness and looked around. He bowed towards the hills in the distance, and used his spiritual awareness to transmit a message to the surroundings:
"I don't know which Taoist friend made the move. We are just passing by. Please don't misunderstand us."
In the void, there was a sound of an old spiritual consciousness vibrating.
"You associate with the thieves and evildoers, collect young boys and girls, and do evil things. Are you worthy of being my companion?"
When Mu Sheng and Yue Rong heard this, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
There is true cultivation of the Tao.
They unexpectedly met a Taoist practitioner.
Nowadays, in the world of cultivating immortals, unorthodox practices are rampant, and cultivators have become "demons and evil spirits." This is the true Dharma Ending Age. In such a cruel and dark environment, many cultivators have given up the "Dharma."
Instead of "wasting yourself away" and cultivating your character, it is better to control the devil with one's own strength. As long as you are more ruthless than the devil, the devil will submit to you.
However, it must be said that in the cultivation world today, there are still true "true practitioners". They hone their minds and integrate knowledge and action, quite like the ancient cultivators.
"Huhuhuhu~"
There was a strong wind blowing all around.
Flying sand and flying rocks.
Clouds and mist rolled in.
Yue Rong saw this strange sight and her pretty face was filled with shock:
"Uncle Master, what kind of Taoism does the other party use? He actually has such a powerful aura."
"do not know."
Mu Sheng looked serious and looked around:
"Be careful of the fog around you. He might be trying to take advantage of the situation and kidnap these little guys."
A few miles away, on the top of the hill.
Qiu Zhen stood on the altar, his body wrapped in thunder and lightning, his aura as powerful as a rainbow. He looked up at the sky and saw that the time had come. He immediately wrote the talisman [Qingwei Zhaolei Liying Fu] with his eyes and chanted:
"A thunderous command, summoning all spirits. From the infinite above to the netherworld below, I am summoning you by the Emperor's order. If you disobey the Emperor's order, it would be like going against the Jade Purity. Hurry and obey the command."
Following Qiu Zhen's loud shout.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged in the mountains.
Mu Sheng and Yue Rong swept their spiritual senses around, constantly watching the clouds and mist rolling in around them, fearing that murderous intent would suddenly appear in the mountain wind and mist.
Especially Mu Sheng, his expression was fierce.
He has two innate wooden puppets to protect him. No matter what situation he encounters, he can deal with it and is not afraid of fighting with others.
"Baaaah!"
The lambs neighed together and looked up at the same time.
Mu Sheng and Yue Rong also noticed something at the first moment. They felt something before the lambs discovered anything unusual, and immediately withdrew their spiritual sense from spying around and looked up.
But above the sky, there was a loud bang and then a thunderclap.
Two white rays of light twisted like snakes fell from the sky.
White lightning is incredibly fast.
"Uncle Master, this thunder is coming towards us. His magic comes from the sky."
"Controlling thunder! How is this possible? Could it be that he is the old monster who awakened his primordial spirit?"
Mu Sheng is a Yin Shen master with quick consciousness. He dodged in the first moment, and a black light appeared around his body to protect him. He also summoned two innate-level mechanical beasts to his front to ward off the disaster.
"boom!"
Two white lightning bolts fell from the sky incredibly fast and struck the two men.
"Snapped!"
The young girl Yuerong was flying in the air when she was struck by lightning. Her body stiffened all of a sudden and seemed to be suspended in the air for a while.
With a "pop" sound.
The young girl was mature as soon as she was born, and her pretty face became even more beautiful.
On the other side, although the Yin Shen master Mu Sheng had two mechanical beasts around him to protect himself from disaster, under the thunder, the two mechanical beasts were blown to pieces in an instant. The horrible power of thunder struck him without any hindrance, and the black light shield was like thin paper.
His body stiffened and he fell to the ground, his whole body covered with burns and charred.
In the face of the heavenly thunder, as a master of the Yin God, his fate was not much better than Yue Rong's.
"Zizzizi~"
Between the hills, thunder and lightning energy grows, cleansing the evil spirits of demons and ghosts.
In an instant, the bleating sounds around disappeared, replaced by the children's exclamations:
"Immortal, we have met an immortal."
"Grandpa Immortal!"
"The Immortal Grandpa who saves people from suffering!"
