Chapter 110: Side by side
Beat a drowning dog?! I was stunned at first, but then I couldn’t help but laugh a few times with my master.
In fact, I was a little worried. If Master accepted the god’s request, how would I convince him? He had never seen the poor old people in the small town, or the children who had been brainwashed by the innocent victims… If we missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to move to this god in the future.
But Master is Master, and he will always be a benchmark for me. At that moment, I was blaming myself for being separated from this old man for too long, and forgetting his persistence.
“Yes, beat a drowning dog…” A voice with a unique, decadent tone came from the gate. I turned my head and saw an old man with a long face. Who else could it be but my uncle, Li Pu? His sad and pained appearance, which seemed a bit comical, had almost become his trademark.
Plus the lazy, somewhat decadent accent… Standing behind him was my uncle Liren.
This is great, really great. I can’t express my joy. It’s like I’ve lost something, but now I’ve got it back.
However, the situation in front of me did not allow me to be happy. Master’s remark of beating a drowning dog was a complete offense to the god. He sneered and said, “Jiang Lichun, don’t think I’m really afraid of you. This is my territory after all. You can talk after you pass this hurdle.”
After saying that, the god waved his hand and turned his head and left without a care, while those in green and black robes slowly surrounded us. The pressure was indescribable.
“Brother, I need to draw a formation to change the formation. You protect me.” Master Li Pu spoke very decisively. There were countless magic tools scattered on the ground, tools for drawing formations.
The master nodded and looked at Uncle Liren and said, “Protect Ling Qing. She doesn’t have much self-defense ability now.”
Uncle Li Ren smiled and said, “You guys hold on first. Wu Liyu and his gang should be waking up soon.”
“Pah, those guys can only look up to my old Li lineage…” The master’s words were seven-tenths joking, but three-tenths of his pride was real.
The uncles laughed at the same time. Master Hui, who was standing next to them, folded his arms and said in a Beijing accent, “That’s right, you’re just blowing your own horn.”
The master didn’t really argue with Master Hui, and shouted, “Chengyi, I know you have to pass on three secret methods. You and the old monk will block it together, and I will cast the spell. Lingqing, Liren, and Lipu, come behind me. Old monk, make way.”
Facing the pressure of the crowd, the master was not afraid at all. He arranged what everyone should do in one sentence, and then rushed towards the broken altar.
At that moment, a person rushed in front of the master and shouted. Before I could react, he punched one of the black-robed corpse cultivators.
It wasn’t a normal punch, but a hard smash. I heard a very powerful sound of breaking, and then I saw the corpse in black robes, who had almost instantly changed from a standing person to a 90-degree angle, suddenly sitting down.
It wasn’t a normal sitting down. It looked like the spine was smashed and the person couldn’t stand up anymore, so he sat down in that strange posture.
Then the figure stopped in front of me, turned around, grabbed Ling Qing’s grandmother, and shouted, “Come here! Lao Jiang, you keep up, Chengyi, bring Liren and Lipu over.”
As he spoke, he roared, and the entire person was like a mad bull, rushing into the crowd of people, like a road roller. Wherever he passed, whether it was a black-robed person or a green-robed person, they were all knocked away. Those who were close were all knocked to the ground or knocked away… This kind of encirclement was knocked open by him!
The fighting monk, Master Hui.
I saw the familiar clothes that had been torn and casually tied around his waist, the tangled muscles, the familiar, lifelike tattoo of the painted angry-eyed Vajra, the figure that had once shocked me in the Black Rock Miao Village, reappearing at this moment.
I don’t know what happened to the elders of the previous generation. Over the years, we have grown up, and they seem to have grown up as well. The power of Master Hui’s explosive strike is definitely more powerful than I had previously thought. Could it be that over the years I thought that the younger generation had already approached the abilities of the previous generation, but now we still have to look up to them?
I didn’t even have time to ask my master how he knew that I had to pass on the three secret arts.
But now is not the time to talk about this. In the midst of my thoughts, I had already begun to practice… preparing to once again open the secret acupuncture points in the back of my head for a truly exhilarating battle.
But at this time, the master who was supposed to follow Master Hui stopped me and ran after Master Hui. He said, “Li Ren, Li Pu, you guys go ahead. Don’t just stand there.”
I didn’t understand what my master meant, so I just ran after him.
While running, my master slipped a bottle into my hand and whispered, “This battle is important. I will do my best, and you should do your best too. However, I can see that you are weak, so you should swallow this pill. If anything goes wrong, you should keep running north because you still have some strength left. The little girl who seemed to have a few tricks up her sleeve should be able to help you.”
I didn’t ask my master what was in the bottle, I just lowered my head and opened the cork, pouring out the contents.
It was the familiar pills that my master had left me some of, and I really had some left. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my backpack with me, so where would I have this kind of thing?
Without thinking, I put one in my mouth and swallowed it. Then I started to practice the internal energy again, saying, “Master, I never thought I would be able to reunite with you in my lifetime.
I suddenly smiled with pride, just like when I got good grades as a child and subconsciously wanted to show off in front of my master. This time, I was in the same mood, and I almost shouted, “In addition, Master, do you know? My reputation is not weak now. Do you know what the first person in the younger generation is? It’s me! So you must not underestimate me.”
When the master heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a warm and gentle but satisfied look in his eyes. Then he slapped me hard on the shoulder and said, “Things in the world can’t always be as you wish. The master is proud of you, so let’s fight together.”
“We won’t be apart anymore.” I shouted almost at the top of my lungs, then suddenly stopped.
After the pill entered my stomach, the familiar explosive power began to heat up from my lower abdomen, and then spread to my limbs and bones all at once. I was running with my qi, and at this time I had already silently recited the mantra. The breath that rushed to the back of my head began to lie dormant once again, ready to strike at any time.
The master stopped, standing next to me, and together with the uncles Li Ren and Li Pu, they stopped as well.
The meaning is simple, that is, to protect me. At that moment, I was so moved that I could not speak, but the breath hit my head even more smoothly than last time… Could it be that practice makes perfect?
I felt the power of the inner explosion, like the moment when the body is filled with the heat of strong alcohol, which is exhilarating and exciting.
However, this was not enough. I could not open as many of the legendary acupuncture points as I wanted, but opening the back of my head alone was not enough to deal with the situation. My eyes were open, and I saw the towering figure of Master Hui.
He was like a god of war, already pulling Grandma Lingqing to a safe position, then standing in front of her, roaring like a tiger, facing all the enemies as if he were a hundred men, and no one could penetrate his defenses.
How could I possibly just open the most basic secret point of the back of the head when fighting alongside such a man?
I also roared, and the surging energy in my body rushed towards the next acupuncture point on my spine… Open… It was like smashing through a wall, and I groaned, but the exhilaration of the impact was indescribable.
Open again… another wall is broken, I feel the power surging, and my body is under extreme pressure.
Again… I felt like I was inside my own body, like a madman running, constantly breaking through, and the exhilaration of charging through any obstacle.
“Ah…” I let out a long cry, feeling the surging power, as if the heavens and earth were pressing down on me. I desperately needed to vent, to vent furiously.
At this moment, the master kicked away a black-robed person who rushed at him, and then shouted at me, “Sanwa, that’s enough!”
