Chapter 45: Secrets of the Sect
Master’s words were like a bomb dropped in the cave. As soon as he finished speaking, the other nine people who had been sitting on the mats were blown up and stood up one by one, looking at my master with ill intent.
“If you want to fight, then fight.” Master sighed and only said these four words, but the meaning was very clear.
The old monster with no hair shook his head and said to my master, “We are not fighting with you, but someone will fight with you. Since you are determined to fight to the end with us, I have no reason not to fight with you to the death. I, the Hmu people, cannot be insulted lightly!”
“There are many Miao people on my land, and they live peacefully on this land without any disturbance. It is you Miao people who insult you. You use other people’s lives to prolong your own lives, and you are willing to sacrifice the lives of your children and grandchildren for your own immortality. You are not qualified to talk about your own people.” My master replied.
The old monster ignored my master and stroked his belly, saying to my master, “The winner becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit. A new me will be born, and I will win eternal life by being reborn. At that time, not only the Miao people, but also you Han people, all the people in the world, will prostrate themselves at the feet of my Black Miao, begging me to lead humanity to a new world. You blockheads of humanity, what awaits you then is the hatred of all the people in the world.”
My master stared at the old monster’s belly with a strange look on his face, and finally shook his head and whispered, “You will never have a new life. You are just a pathetic person who is making a wedding dress for other lives.”
The old monster snorted and turned around with the other six old monsters. Before leaving, he said something in the Miao language to the six people, and the six people nodded solemnly.
Grandma Ling Qing, of course, understood what the old monster was saying. She said, “Li Chun, we have to stop them. The old monster told the other six to use sacrifice to awaken the demon worm completely. He said he would shoulder the mission of Black Rock and restore its glory.”
The master shook his head and let them leave. Instead, he said to the old man in the Tang suit, “Wu Liyu, you were asked to fight for the old monster and you were asked to organize a risky venture to get involved in this mess. What benefits did the old monster promise you?”
At this point, I realized that we couldn’t catch up with the old monsters because Wu Liyu had already stopped us in a triangle formation with two other people. Even if we chased after them, the old monsters could easily escape with a little help from them, so it would be a waste of time to chase after them.
The only way is to defeat the three people in front of us.
Wu Liyu, it turns out that this person is Wu Liyu. I heard my master mention him once. It seems that he is a high-ranking member of that organization, which means that these three people are all members of that organization.
Wu Liyu smiled wryly when he faced my master’s questioning, and then said, “As you said, it is indeed a big mess. The top commander of your department has made up his mind to clean up the Black Rock Miao Village, which represents the will of the state, right? If it weren’t for the fact that our organization still has some energy, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to wade through this mess. Even so, we don’t dare to go all out, so we can only let the old man do a little to show our goodwill.”
“I didn’t come here to listen to nonsense. Your organization doesn’t get up early without a profit. What exactly did you promise them?” Master didn’t intend to avoid this topic at all.
“A half-grown worm taken from the belly of an old monster, and the method of cultivating and controlling this worm. Why, are you interested too?” Wu Liyu smiled lightly and answered his master’s question very calmly.
Looking at Wu Liyu’s cheerful and carefree appearance, I felt that this person was indeed a very elegant and charismatic person. Judging from his name, Li, he was probably the same generation as my master, but why was there such a big difference between people?
At this serious and critical moment, I couldn’t help but daydream about my master, who was always eating and drinking, sloppy and messy, squatting on the street watching girls.
But while I was daydreaming, my master’s expression changed, and then he suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question: “Hungry Ghost Tomb, did the one above you do it?”
“What do you mean by ‘the one above’? You should probably call him ‘uncle’ too, right? Even if we have different ideas, I’ve always respectfully called your master ‘uncle Li’. You say that the Hungry Ghost Tomb was only discovered by my master when he was looking for your master in Sichuan. He found the tomb of a great witch who was obsessed with becoming an immortal, so he took a look around and found that it was a good place to gather yin energy. dragon. Interestingly, there was also a zombie that had not risen from the dead, so… In short, my master probably forgot about the existence of that tomb, but I didn’t expect you to break it. It seems that Uncle Li has a deep misunderstanding of my master, which has continued to the disciple generation. Wu Liyu said with emotion.
But my heart was pounding. This was a big secret for me. I always thought that there were only a few people in our lineage, and my amazing master was even more of a loner. How could a fellow disciple suddenly appear? And they seemed to be at odds with each other. I was wide-eyed and listening carefully, afraid of missing a word, because my master had protected me too well, or maybe he didn’t want me to get involved in these grudges.
In response to Wu Liyu’s statement, the master just said with disdain, “You don’t need to call my master a master uncle. My master has never recognized you, nor has he recognized your master above you as his junior brother! It’s just that you remember that when I was young, I once saw ten of your brothers, but I never imagined that you would form such a crazy organization. If it weren’t for the Hungry Ghost Tomb, I wouldn’t have been able to track down your identity. Stop it. The metaphysical path is not the way to go.”
Wu Liyu heard his master’s unfriendly words, but he was not angry. This person was full of self-control, but he made a sorrowful expression and said, “My master has always been deeply attached to Uncle Li, but you…”
“Stop talking nonsense and get to work.” The master frowned impatiently. His attitude already told me that he had no good feelings for the Wu Liyu clan, and he didn’t want to make any friends with them.
But Wu Liyu was a pain in the neck. In the face of his master’s request to start fighting, he just said, “Brother Li Chun, your apprentice is not bad. I heard that you used the technique of Zhong Mao to invite Uncle Li to appear. Your lineage, especially the Shan lineage, is not in good condition. Why don’t you give your apprentice to me to train? I will definitely treat him like a son.”
The master suddenly smiled and then said to me, “Chengyi, do you smell anything?”
During the years in the bamboo forest, my master and I were used to tearing each other down. As for the art of verbal abuse, Master Hui and my master had already passed on their true skills to me. When my master asked me this, I immediately understood and immediately frowned and said, “Yes, it stinks. Master, someone is farting in this poorly ventilated place. What should we do?”
Master Wu Liyu glanced at me and said, “What else can we do? Beat him up!”
“Well, beat him!” I said to my master with a smile.
Wu Liyu, who was originally very elegant, finally couldn’t stand it when he saw that my master and I were so “disgusting” in our words, and he shouted at me, “A Taoist should not compare himself to a commoner. Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my uncle, Lao Li!”
Damn, he really knows how to use the tiger’s skin to pull the tiger’s flag, and even dragged my master into it. This Wu Liyu is really hypocritical, always trying to be right.
But my master was even more vicious, shouting, “Hey? When did a vicious dog represent my master? Why did my master say that when he saw a group of dogs, he shouldn’t talk nonsense, but just rush up and fight? See, I keep my master’s words and talk to dogs like humans. Won’t I be bitten?”
Wu Liyu was so angry by my master’s words that his face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said, “Jiang Lichun, today your opponent is me. I hope you are not afraid. Wei Yi, Wei Er, this group of people are just a rabble, and they are also at the end of their strength. You can pick a few people to be your opponents. Don’t lose the face of our organization.”
Wei Yi and Wei Er, what strange names. I looked at the two men in suits curiously, and at the same time, I was worried. My master had injured his source, and Master Hui had also expended a lot of his power just now. Moreover, he had been injured a few years ago. From the tone of Wu Liyu, these two men, Wei Yi and Wei Er, are not to be underestimated.
Can we win this battle?
