Myths of Mountains and Seas: Volume 3

By Tang YiGuDian

In the four seas and eight wastelands, the Mystic Maiden offered up the secret arts of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Seven Domains of the Nine Prefectures, and the Nine Tripod Commerce.

When this cauldron reached ten percent completion, the rain of blood would rain down upon the deities and devils.

The River Diagram appeared, as did Luo Shu. The human world was in turmoil.

It was rumored that these nine cauldrons were the ones that had gained the world. However, he did not know that the treasures of the nine cauldrons were all in the Mountain Sea Secret Art that was drawn on the cauldron.

After that, the nine cauldrons sank into the Luo River, disappearing without a trace. The five paths of the world, the Wonder Gate, the Illusion Dao, the Mountain Sect, the Sea Sect, the Scripture Pavilion, and the five sects' heirs, each had their own secret treasures, all for the sake of obtaining the Mountain Sea secret arts within the nine cauldrons.

This fight lasted for thousands of years …

IDLENESS

CHAPTER 201 - TRAGEDY

Qing Jing Jiu

Lu Wubi's nightmare started from the mouth of the tripod.

When the cauldron was still at an inconspicuous stall at the ghost market near the Yellow River, Lu Wubi caught a glimpse of it.

The tripod was square, upright, and had strange characters engraved on the cauldron.

Lu Wubi walked straight to the small stall in this corner as if he was possessed by a soul, and could not walk anymore.

The stall vendor was an old man with a white beard. The old man wore a bamboo hat that was pressed very low, and it covered his face.

Seeing Lu Wubi walking over, the old man with a white beard asked softly, Is this young lad someone who knows what's good for himself?

Lu Wubi did not bother with the old man's words, staring straight at the tripod, he asked: How much is this cauldron?

The old man chuckled, This cauldron is too valuable, it's not for sale at all.

Lu Wubi asked: What is this cauldron's precious method?

The old man picked up the tripod and gently caressed it as he slowly said: Bringing back the dead and changing fate, is this considered a treasure?

Lu Wubi's eyes were brimming with fanaticism as if he was possessed by a devil, Fine, fine. How do I exchange this cauldron?

The old man said lightly, Naturally, longevity will be exchanged for wealth. A lifetime of glory will be exchanged for eternity. Is this transaction worth it?

Lu Wubi said excitedly: It's worth it, very worth it. You wait for me. Lu Wubi said as he ran back home. He dug out a large sack from under his own large pear tree. Inside the sack was the accumulated wealth of several generations of Lu Family. Mother Lu who was at the side cried her heart out as she pulled on Lu Wubi's arm. Lu Wubi had already lost his mind, with one leg, he kicked his mother to the ground and ran towards the shore of the Yellow River.

Thus, the transaction was concluded.

The old man carried a gunny sack and disappeared, while Lu Wubi took the tripod.

Lu Wubi placed all the tripod he had saved up into his palms and showed it to the people in the village: This cauldron can let the dead live longer …

No one believed what he said, only Lu Wubi firmly believed that the object in his hands was a treasured cauldron.

After returning home, Lu Wubi placed the tripod on the platform respectfully, and prostrated devoutly. Mother Lu thought of how his son had used a sack of money to exchange for such a small thing that couldn't be eaten or drunk. Suddenly, she blacked out. However, Lu Wubi acted as if he could not see it, and continued to kneel in front of the bright yellow tripod.

Suddenly, five golden needles flew through the air and through the legs of the tripod. They cleverly formed a net basket, holding the tripod up and flying out of the window.

Lu Wubi watched as his treasured cauldron flew out. Anxiously, he chased after it.

In the courtyard, two middle-aged men stood there, facing each other. Lu Wubi recognized both of them. One was the village doctor, Dr Luo, and the other was the village fisherman, Jin Laoda.

The Dr Luo held onto the tripod in his hand, looked at Jin Laoda and said: People in the martial arts world, it's better not to interfere in the matters of our Character in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers.

Jin Laoda held onto a shiny steel blade, and said fiercely: I don't care which faction of Classic of Mountains and Rivers you are from, this treasure will belong to you. If you want to take away the treasure, you still have to show it to the public.

The two did not even mention Lu Wubi, the cauldron's owner as they spoke, and had already decided to use force to fight for the ownership of the tripod.

Lu Wubi was furious in his heart, and said: That cauldron is mine!

The two of them did not seem to hear what Lu Wubi said, as though Lu Wubi was invisible. Dr Luo said: You don't know how to use this cauldron, so why don't you give me, Luo Qing, some face. Our Sea Sect will never mistreat you.

Jin Laoda raised his blade and cut towards Luo Qing, and said: I will not listen to the nonsense of your Sea Sect, if I listen to too much, I will fall for it easily, let us see the truth.

Seeing Jin Laoda attacking towards him, with one hand holding the cauldron and the other holding the flying needles, Luo Qing had a chance to retaliate.

As the two sides clashed, even after more than fifty rounds, there was still no clear victor. Seeing that, Lu Wubi rushed over, attempting to snatch the tripod in Luo Qing's hands.

As Luo Qing dodged Jin Laoda's numerous Sword Formations, he lifted his leg and used a Rabbit Stamping Eagle, kicking Lu Wubi down onto the ground.

Jin Laoda took advantage of the opening and slashed with his left hand. Puchi! Luo Qing immediately released the tripod and hid his left hand inside his sleeve. He saw the tripod had fallen onto Lu Wubi's body. Lu Wubi picked up the tripod and was about to escape. Jin Laoda threw the blade horizontally, the steel blade breaking the air, cutting off the left hand that Lu Wubi used to wield the tripod from his shoulder.

Lu Wubi knelt on the ground, holding onto his shoulder and rolling around as he cried out incessantly. Jin Laoda rolled over and was about to snatch the tripod on the ground, but Luo Qing raised his leg and kicked hard, sending the tripod flying out of the courtyard.

Jin Laoda immediately stood up, picked up his steel blade, looked at Luo Qing angrily, and ran out of the courtyard.

Luo Qing then bent over and pierced a few needles on Lu Wubi's shoulder to stop the bleeding. He took out a tripod from his bosom and cursed stupidity before leaving the courtyard.

As it turned out, Luo Qing took advantage of the chaos and used a trick to steal another house, using a fake cauldron to exchange the real tripod over, hiding it on his body, and intentionally kicked the fake cauldron out of the courtyard, luring Jin Laoda to chase after it.

Lu Wubi endured the pain and stood up unsteadily. He knew that Jin Laoda would definitely come back after he found out that the cauldron was fake and he might even get killed. After his tripod was stolen, he felt that he did not do it himself. It was as if someone had bewitched him.

He staggered toward his mother, wanting to wake her and run for his life. Just as he was about to reach Mother Lu, Jin Laoda was back.

Jin Laoda ran over, held onto Lu Wubi's hair and asked fiercely: Where's the real cauldron?

Lu Wubi originally wanted to tell him that the Dr Luo took it, but when he thought about how Jin Laoda chopped off his hand, he became angry and spit on Jin Laoda's face. Jin Laoda's face darkened, he stabbed the steel blade into Mother Lu's body.

Mother Lu didn't even have time to scream before her chest was pierced by the steel knife. It seemed that she was dead.

Jin Laoda coldly asked Lu Wubi: Are you going to tell me or not?

Lu Wubi could only watch as his mother died in front of him.

Jin Laoda slapped Lu Wubi a dozen times and asked: Are you going to talk about it?

Lu Wubi was still crying as he stared at Jin Laoda, not saying a word.

In a fit of rage, Jin Laoda smashed Lu Wubi to the ground heavily, and Lu Wubi who was even more injured immediately fainted...

As Jing Mo listened to Lu Wubi's calm narration of what had happened to him, sympathy rose in his heart, What happened next?

Lu Wubi thought for a while, Later on, when I woke up, I was in a deep mountain. It should be Jin Laoda who abandoned me in the wilderness when he thought I was dead. I walked from the mountains to a nearby county town and realized that I was in Hebei. I don't have a penny on me, I can only beg for my life. I will ask for food along the way and head in the direction of the Jingjia Village. I want to return here to seek revenge on Jin Laoda.

Jing Mo asked: What happened to your benefactor? How did you learn Scripture Pavilion?

CHAPTER 202 - SIEGE

Tibetan Classic Shen-zheng Tenth

Lu Wubi said: The wound on my left arm didn't heal well, and there was no one to treat it for me. Very quickly, I began to have a fever, seems like my wound has been infected. As I lay in the hole in the bridge, my head grew dizzy and I felt like I was going to die. When I woke up, I was in a room. Benefactor is very strong. He saved my life, and even accepted me as his disciple, but he only wanted me to return to Jingjia Village to guard the Jing Family's backyard. I came back with the intention to take revenge, but after asking around, I found out that Jin Laoda and Dr Luo had both disappeared, and it had been a long time since I last showed up in the village. "

As Jing Mo listened to Lu Wubi's tragic encounter, he did not know what to say for a while. He looked at Lu Wubi's muddy face without any complaints or sorrows.

I have to go to Ghost Forest tomorrow. Do you want to go with me? Jing Mo asked.

Lu Wubi said with a face full of sincerity: I'll go with you, I'll go wherever you go, I have to protect you.

Jing Mo's heart warmed as he asked, Why?

Lu Wubi once again covered his mouth with both hands, revealing a I can't say expression.

Jing Mo finished the bread and instant noodles, then laid on the bed and said, Thank you.

Lu Wubi had not heard such words for a long time, he did not know how to answer. After a long time, just as he was about to answer Jing Mo, Jing Mo's faint snores came from the bed beside him.

Lu Wubi said in a low voice, Because we are from the Scripture Pavilion.

No one replied, and the few soft sounds that Lu Wubi had made in his life disappeared amidst the sound of snoring coming from the house.

In the room behind the counter, the boss of the inn was sitting on a spring and autumn chair. He quietly looked at the camp bed in the corner of the room and took a drag from his cigarette, a look of worry on his face.

An old man was lying on the army bed. He seemed to be on the verge of death. The old man was scrawny and his limbs were stiff. Only the violent rise and fall of his chest showed that he was a living man. Apart from this, all the other phenomena in the old man's body were like corpses. His limbs had already become a mass of corpse spots due to the paralysis.

There was a deep sense of guilt in the innkeeper's eyes as he slowly said word by word, I don't know if you can hear what I'm saying. I'll speak slowly, but you have to listen to what you have to say. Jing Mo had already returned, he was still alive. The secret protected by the Jing Family must be related to his revival, and it might even directly affect the location of the Reincarnation Tripod. As long as I keep staring at Jing Mo, I will be able to find the secret to his revival. At that time, I will be able to bring you back to life. You have to survive. What you told me before, you have to live until the day Dao Family dies. "

The innkeeper clenched his fists and looked at the painting hanging in the room. It was the only decoration in the room. It was an old set of jade-green water boat diagram of Qingfeng. The painting had already turned yellow, and in the middle of the vast river of ink, there was a hint of whiteness that shouldn't have existed.

Dawn.

Jing Mo then left the hotel with Lu Wubi and headed towards the cellar. The early morning sunlight was still not enough to disperse the dense yin energy in the Ghost Forest. As Jing Mo walked in the forest, he felt a trace of coldness and shuddered. The locust trees in the surroundings grew wildly without restraint. It was as if they were all within the Nether Ghost Claw.

Jing Mo followed the route in his memory and brought Lu Wubi to that cellar. Jing Mo looked down. His cellar was pitch black and bottomless. He turned to Lu Wubi and asked: Have you been here before?

Lu Wubi said: I've never been here, what's below?

Jing Mo took a deep breath and said, I don't know. There's a strange red corpse down there. It's so powerful, it comes and goes, it kills people in the blink of an eye. We have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, you have to escape as soon as possible, your life is more important.

Lu Wubi asked: What about you?

Jing Mo said: Today, I must see what is down there, and that Red Corpse seems to be afraid of me for some reason. I should be fine, so you must be careful.

Lu Wubi frowned: But I still feel that you are in danger.

Just as Jing Mo wanted to advise Lu Wubi, he heard rustling sounds coming from all directions. From within the Pagoda Tree Forest, twenty to thirty sturdy men jumped out and surrounded Jing Mo and Jing Mo. The strong men glared at Jing Mo and Jing Mo, and simultaneously opened a wide gap, as a man in a suit slowly walked in. It was none other than the Wonder Gate Han Jiu.

Han Jiu looked coldly at Jing Mo, and said indifferently: You should have the Nine Heavens Profound Gate Token. Take it out, and I'll give you two corpses.

Jing Mo looked at the few sturdy men beside him. They looked somewhat familiar, as if they were the people who were chasing after Shi Laoqi, he did not understand how they managed to find him.

Han Jiu saw that Jing Mo did not reply, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said: I'll give you one more minute, take the initiative and hand it over.

Lu Wubi noticed that the situation was bad and immediately activated his Qi and Qi, preparing to fight at any time.

Jing Mo thought: Looks like that iron brand is the Nine Heavens Profound Gate Token. I never thought that a mere Xiao Tieh badge would be able to attract so many people from Hebei to Henan.

Jing Mo was not interested in the Broken Iron Plate in the first place, he could return it to whoever asked for it. However, the man in the suit's words made him extremely angry. He actually wanted to kill him because of a plaque, and it wasn't like he didn't steal the tablet himself, but rather was forced onto him by the Shi Laoqi.

Jing Mo's heart was also filled with anger, he said: This plate is with me, but I don't want to give it to you.

After Han Jiu heard this, the coldness on his face became even stronger. He squinted his eyes and slowly said: Do it!

All of the big sized men rushed forward to attack Jing Mo and the other two.

Jing Mo activated Primeval chaos Arts, using the Armor Break technique on his fists, while dodging the attacks of the big men, he attacked with his fists. Lu Wubi who was at the side also started fighting with the big sized men.

During the clash, Jing Mo realized that some of these men were sword wielding, and some had talismans. He only needed a glance to understand the tricks and flaws in their skills. Moreover, Jing Mo faintly felt that if he used it himself, he could use it even better than them.

Therefore, these men's sharp attacks were useless in Jing Mo's eyes. He easily dodged and flew up and down, bringing his fist to the enemy's chest and chest, knocking him down or knocking him away.

Han Jiu watched the battle from the outside and was shocked, This guy is actually someone from the Mount Sect, and he walked such a fierce path. Could it be that the Shi Laoqi is connected to the Mount Sect?

Seeing that the disciples had not killed Jing Mo and Mu Yurou even after such a long time and were instead beaten into a mess by Jing Mo and Mu Yurou, Han Jiu silently thought trash as he swung his arm and a black edged sword appeared in his hand.

CHAPTER 203 - CLEAR SKY EIGHT TRIGRAMS FORMATION

Suzheng XI of Tibetan Classic

The black-edged sword in Han Jiu's hand was called the heavy rain, it was much narrower than normal swords and also looked much sharper. The sword brand was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it glimmered with a cold light. Han Jiu then formed a seal with his hand, and the heavy rain began to chant along with him. It sounded like the sound of insects, but also like wind.

Lu Wubi noticed the heavy rain in Han Jiu's hands and shouted, Be careful Jing Mo!

Jing Mo was currently being pursued by a few big men, the big men knew they were no match for Jing Mo, so they did not fight him head on. Instead, they surrounded Jing Mo and held him back with their runes and Dao swords, and for a moment, Jing Mo could not do anything to them. When Jing Mo heard Lu Wubi's voice, he was shocked. By the time he had reacted to it, the heavy rain had already escaped from Han Jiu's hand and was flying towards Jing Mo. The heavy rain flew around in the air, like a spring rain, agile and fast.

Seeing that the heavy rain was about to attack Jing Mo, Jing Mo turned his fist into a palm and focused. Using the Primeval chaos Arts to activate the Armour Break Technique, he blocked the heavy rain.

But how would Han Jiu give Jing Mo a chance to catch his breath? Unknowingly, Han Jiu had already leaped in front of Jing Mo, raised his body, and an illusory eight trigram diagram appeared in front of him. Han Jiu pointed to the east of the eight trigram diagram. His fingertips turned red, and a rootless flame sprayed out from them, shooting towards Jing Mo.

If Tang Shisan was here, he would definitely sigh emotionally about how the future waves pushed forward. The secret technique Han Jiu had used was the skill that he had learned from the sect master of Qi Sect, the Clear Sky Eight Trigrams Array. Tang Shisan had once seen Wang Yuanchu demonstrate to him that the Clear Sky Eight Trigrams Array was a special technique that allowed one to gain access to the heaven and earth. It could be used for lightning, fire, poisonous water, and astral winds. After Tang Shisan turned twenty, he started to learn this Clear Sky Eight Trigrams Array from Wang Yuanchu. It took him a year of learning, and he didn't even learn one of the gossips. Han Jiu was only around forty years old, yet he was able to summon the Clear Sky Eight Trigrams Array at the place of his palm.

Jing Mo was still using his palms to defend against the black blade, but the incoming flames caught him off guard and he no longer had time to dodge. The flames whizzed over and sprayed onto a dirty and smelly old garment, and like a clay ox entering the ocean, they disappeared without a trace. After absorbing the raging flames, his tattered clothes instantly turned into black ashes, which scattered in the wind.

Lu Wubi who was being held down by the man had already become completely naked, no one expected that the beggar robe on Lu Wubi's body would actually help him withstand this killing blow.

Jing Mo originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't think that he would be saved by Lu Wubi again. His state of mind relaxed, and he was no longer able to resist the heavy rain in his hands. Jing Mo dodged to the side and the heavy rain streaked across Jing Mo's face and flew out.

Han Jiu landed on the ground, the Eight Trigrams Array in front of him was spinning extremely quickly, making him dizzy. He changed his sword technique, and the heavy rain flew back again. This time, Jing Mo was already prepared. He rolled over and dodged the incoming heavy rain s. Han Jiu once again extended his index finger out in the air to scout, and after a few movements, green lightning, fire, gold, water, black wind shot out from Han Jiu's fingertips, attacking Jing Mo.

Jing Mo dodged left and right, but was unable to dodge all of the formation technique. His left leg was hit by a black wind, and a bone deep wound appeared.

Han Jiu's Eight Trigrams Array turned bigger and bigger, and had already sealed off all of Jing Mo's escape routes.

Jing Mo saw that the heart of the formation was facing his own Eight Trigrams Array, and thought that it was no good, he could no longer avoid it.

Seeing that, Lu Wubi endured the attacks of the flying sword and rushed out of the encirclement of the disciples. With his fist and red eyes, he attacked Han Jiu, wanting to create a path for Jing Mo to escape.

Seeing the golden light on Lu Wubi's fist, Han Jiu naturally knew that it was his Scripture Pavilion's Armour Break Technique. His Dao arts were exquisite, but his skills were ordinary. If he were to be punched, who knew what would happen?

Han Jiu immediately formed a seal on his sword, causing the heavy rain to stand to the side to block the attack. Lu Wubi punched the heavy rain that was still in midair with all his strength. The heavy rain sword actually bent backwards into a bow shape. Taking advantage of the moment the heavy rain Sword blocked, Han Jiu pointed his index finger at the eight trigram diagram, causing a bolt of lightning to shoot towards Jing Mo.

Jing Mo's left leg was already injured, and he could not dodge it. Making up his mind, he flipped into the cellar at the side. The clap of thunder struck the earth, silently merging into it.

Seeing that, Han Jiu's calm face finally had a look of anxiousness, with one hand he pushed away the Eight Trigrams Array, while the other hand he kept changing sword techniques, and the bent heavy rain Sword actually bounced back in the blink of an eye, knocking Lu Wubi over and fainting on the ground.

Han Jiu indicated for all the disciples to look at Lu Wubi and flipped down from the cellar.

There were two middle-aged men hiding in the shadows of the forest not far from cellar. It seemed like the two of them had been watching them for a long time.

One of the men had a solemn expression. It was the owner of the inn known as Jingjia Village. He looked at another person and asked softly, Why is Han Jiu from the Wonder Gate lying in ambush here? Will he spoil our business?

The other person wore a peaked cap and hid his face completely under the hat. After thinking for a while, he said, Looks like caught Shi Laoqi. He knows Jing Mo's identity. Since Han Jiu is here, I think he must be here to look for the Nine Heavens Profound Gate Token.

The owner of the inn watched as the men beside the cellar tied the unconscious Lu Wubi up with a rope and said, I told you before, don't mix this matter of the mysterious door with the Jing Family. If something goes wrong, your Sea Sect will not be able to find peace.

The Sea Sect male said: You are cooperating with us, Sea Sect. You must find out the secrets behind the Jing Family and we will eliminate the Wonder Gate. You always say you can't wait, but don't forget, we can't wait either.

Don't forget, your daughter is still in my hands, the innkeeper said fiercely.

The Sea Sect male paused for a moment, then said: Luo Shu is a good child, she must be willing to die for the Sea Sect.

So it turns out that the Sea Sect male was actually Dr Luo Luo Qing.

The owner of the inn looked at Luo Qing and said, The people from your Sea Sect are all unrecognizable beasts.

Luo Qing said indifferently: The Sea Sect has always cultivated the ruthless way. If the Heavens and Earth exist and if you want to set up a plan, then naturally, you have to forget about it.

The inn owner thought to himself, What ruthless dao, it's obviously the way of a beast. His expression did not change as he said, I don't care what you think. You have to remember, I'm barefoot. I'm not afraid to wear shoes.

Luo Qing coldly looked at the owner of the inn, and said: You are not barefoot, your shoes are at home.

The owner of the inn stared at Luo Qing and bellowed: You want to investigate me?

Luo Qing did not reply the innkeeper. He looked at the innkeeper meaningfully for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the Ghost Forest.

The Ghost Forest was quiet, the owner of the inn looked towards the direction Luo Qing left in, his face ashen, his eyes filled with killing intent.

CHAPTER 204 - NIRVANA

One to Twenty-Three

Tang Shisan had already lived in the Dao Family leisurely for a month, and he had also been bored for a whole month.

Although there were servants here to serve him and Xiao Huzi to coax him to live, Tang Shisan, who had just turned 20 years old, did not have this kind of leisurely life to enjoy.

These days, other than Shee Hsingyun who came a few times, no one else had entered his courtyard. Even the Butler Xiao, who came twice every three days, seemed to have disappeared. Although he felt that Shee Hsingyun's mature face hid a hypocritical face, every time he came here, Tang Shisan would still be happy for a while. At the very least, it was better than lying in the courtyard and spending a day with a servant and a Xiao Huzi.

Whenever Tang Shisan was bored to death, he would slip out to take a stroll. Every time he turned around Liu Jinsheng's courtyard, he would wonder what the Liu Jinsheng in the courtyard was doing. Other than the battle between him and Shee Hsingyun, Tang Shisan had never seen Liu Jinsheng leave the courtyard before. He heard Shee Hsingyun say: The willow caterpillar has always been a secretive person, locking itself in that small crappy courtyard of his. It seems to be doing some research.

Shee Hsingyun kept ridiculing Liu Jinsheng for being a idealist in the theoretical school, hoping to open up a new path for himself on the road to Illusory Dao Sect that had been peaceful for more than a thousand years. In the past, Liu Jinsheng had even invited Shee Hsingyun to join his research, but in the end, he was scolded by Shee Hsingyun. It was probably because Liu Jinsheng wanted to use snakes to feed the Gu and cultivate a new Gu seed. But Shee Hsingyun had always been feeding the snakes with parasites, he treated those precious snakes of his more important than his family members. Thus, the relationship between Shee Hsingyun and Liu Jinsheng ended just like that, and the two of them did not get along well. Although Liu Jinsheng did not seem to think that this was a big problem, just a disagreement in knowledge, Shee Hsingyun had always believed that Liu Jinsheng was here to humiliate him, and every time he thought about how many snakes in the courtyard were being eaten everyday by Venomous Insect, he would feel extremely furious. But with the rules of Dao Family set up, forbidding internal fights within the sect, Shee Hsingyun naturally could not do anything to Liu Jinsheng.

Today, Tang Shisan was bored to death, he squinted his eyes and laid on the wooden chair in the courtyard as he basked in the sun. His left hand was constantly changing hand gestures, pinching and pinching the bullets. Ever since Tang Shisan's wooden sword was destroyed by Shee Hsingyun's Bamboo Snake, the wooden sword that was normally hidden inside his sleeve was no longer in Tang Shisan's sleeve. He kept feeling that the space around his arm was a little empty, as if his wooden sword was still flying outside and wanted to recall it.

Dang, dang. Two crisp knocks sounded on the door. A young man with a face like a weasel was standing at the door, probing the inside of the yard.

Tang Shisan stood up and opened his eyes, he saw who the person was, it was Liu Jinsheng who never stepped out of the house.

Tang Shisan was bored, although it was weird that the master of the second door, Liu Jinsheng, would come to his courtyard, but he was also very happy.

Why is scientists Liu here? Come on in. Tang Shisan welcomed him with a smile.

Liu Jinsheng did not know why Tang Shisan had called him that, but he knew that the word 'scientist' was not a bad word. He walked into the courtyard and cupped his hands: Brother Tang, I have two reasons for coming here, one is to apologize for what I did that day, and two is is to …

Tang Shisan hastily interrupted Liu Jinsheng's words, Don't say one or two things. I was worried about what happened that day, so I want to ask you a few questions. What are you doing cooped up at home every day?

Liu Jinsheng didn't understand why Tang Shisan would ask him this. He honestly replied, I usually train the parasites at home, what's wrong?

Tang Shisan was surprised: Then won't you get tired of fiddling with these things everyday?

Liu Jinsheng shook his head: No, wouldn't it be good to not go out at home?

Tang Shisan continued to ask: And why are you called Shee Laoliu Shee Hsingyun?

Liu Jinsheng said straightforwardly: "Didn't he plant six Bamboo Snakes in his courtyard? This was not called out by me first, but by Lee Dangkong first.

Hearing that, Tang Shisan was startled, and laughed out loud, Then he should be called Ol 'Five Snake.

Liu Jinsheng also laughed out, Then it was all thanks to you that he was able to change his name.

Tang Shisan asked: Why are you free today?

Liu Jinsheng said: I heard from others that you used to be a member of a Wonder Gate, and came from outside the mountain. You must have seen and experienced a lot, so I don't think it's feasible for you to help me think over my new idea. I had originally wanted to look for Lee Dangkong, but for some reason, Lee Dangkong still hasn't returned, so I can only look for you.

Tang Shisan thought: This Liu Jinsheng is really as Shee Laoliu said, he really doesn't know how to live. You should have said something nice to me if you asked for my help. You brought out Lee Dangkong to compete with me, how is this the attitude of a suitor.

Tang Shisan did not think too highly of these things, adding that he was also extremely curious about what Liu Jinsheng was trying to do, he agreed without hesitation, Don't worry, I will definitely speak of everything I know.

Liu Jinsheng's face revealed a smile, he took out a snake gall from his pocket and placed it on Tang Shisan's palm, and said: Thank you, Brother Tang.

Tang Shisan was suspicious, What are you doing?

Liu Jinsheng said: "What I want from Shee Laoliu, is that bamboo snake's gall that you blew up. The bamboo and serpent might not be powerful in battle, but it was definitely a treasure. Snake skin can be made into inner armor, dispel poison and disease, snake meat can be cooked into meat soup, prolong life, snake blood can be refined into medicine, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. This snake gall is one of the most precious of them all.

Tang Shisan asked curiously: Then doesn't that mean that Shee Laoliu has raised a bunch of treasures?

Liu Jinsheng nodded, Yes, but Shee Laoliu is reluctant to use it. I think he is a refined snake. Otherwise, why would he treasure his snakes so much? Oh right, could you let me see your Venomous-Insect Gold-Flame? I have raised one of them and only one of them managed to grow two king Gu, not a single one like the one with such powerful attack.

Tang Shisan took Liu Jinsheng's snake gall. He was already a little embarrassed, but seeing that Liu Jinsheng wanted to look at the Xiao Jin, he tried to wake the Xiao Jin up. In this entire month, he had only woken up once when Shee Hsingyun took out the Gu pill, and after happily consuming the Gu pill, he fell into a deep sleep once more. Tang Shisan was not confident that he could wake the Xiao Jin up either.

Tang Shisan called out a few times in his sea of consciousness, but the Xiao Jin still did not respond. Tang Shisan said embarrassedly: It's not that I don't want to let you see it, but it seems like it has fallen into a deep sleep recently. No matter how I call it, it won't wake it up.

After Liu Jinsheng heard it, he said in surprise, Could it be that the Venomous-Insect Gold-Flame has entered the Nirvana stage?

CHAPTER 205 - WORMWOOD

Illusionary Scriptures from the First to the Twenty-fourth

Tang Shisan had also heard the story of a Venomous Insect at the Nirvana stage from the Bear Venomous-Insect Envoy. The Nirvana Stage was a period unique to the Second King Gu. Like a cicada storing energy in the soil, the Second King Gu would have a period of hibernation before it evolved into the King Gu. This special stage was known as the Nirvana Stage. The Second King Gu was the weakest point in its life when it was at the Nirvana Stage. It had no ability to defend itself and needed the care and care of its master to ensure that the Second King Gu would not fall short. If the Second King Gu could be awakened successfully and evolve into a King Gu, it would be just around the corner.

Tang Shisan nodded his head, What you're saying really makes sense. The Xiao Jin's current situation is the same as the Nirvana stage.

Liu Jinsheng said: Then I really have to congratulate Brother Tang in advance. My Heavenly Jade Blood Gu has been fed with various kinds of poison snakes for four to five years, and has yet to enter this stage. It seems that my path is really wrong.

Tang Shisan said: That Heavenly Jade Blood Gu of yours looks like a caterpillar, right?

Liu Jinsheng replied: That's right, Brother Tang, how did you know?

Tang Shisan asked: It's fine, let's continue with what you think, Brother Liu?

When he mentioned this matter, Liu Jinsheng's eyes seemed to ignite with blazing flames, Brother Tang, do you know what our Illusory Dao Sect's most powerful skill is?

Tang Shisan answered without even thinking about it, Of course it's the Gu Illusion Arts. Any people of Miao Country in the Hundred Thousand Mountains knows about it.

Liu Jinsheng then asked, What if we were to determine the first or second place from the Venomous Arts and illusion techniques?

Tang Shisan thought for a while, then replied: It should be an illusion technique, after all, the Illusory Dao Sect has a word, 'illusion'.

Liu Jinsheng said: Brother Tang is right, it's an illusion technique. But it wasn't because of the name of Illusory Dao Sect, which was why his illusion techniques were so powerful. but it was because the illusion techniques originated from the Dao Family from generation to generation. In the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are countless Venomous-Insect Envoy s who offer sacrifices to the Grass Ghost Witch, but the people who know illusion techniques are only on our White-Stone-Tooth Mountain, which is already enough to point out a few problems.

Liu Jinsheng paused for a moment, before continuing: The Venomous Arts is easy to learn, but the illusion techniques are hard to learn. This was probably the reason why illusion techniques were not widespread in the Miao Frontier. According to my investigation, other than the child with Dao Family and bloodline, there seems to be no other person who can truly cultivate this illusion. Although I don't care about worldly affairs, I still inquired about it. People outside said that I inherited the Dao Family's illusion techniques and the Shee Laoliu inherited the. Who would have known that all three of us have been changed by the old master Dao since we were young? However, not a single one of us managed to cross over and truly walk through the gate of the illusion. We all know how to mess with one's mind, but we can't cultivate to a realm as beautiful as the old master Dao, one that can topple the heavens and the other the earth. The Shee Laoliu was the first to give up, he was lacking a bit compared to us, he was the first to give up on this path, and threw himself onto the Venomous Arts. Although he had mastered the art of Venomous Snake Arts, he knew that there was an end to it. Lee Dangkong never comes home, I don't know what he thinks. But I am unwilling.

Liu Jinsheng said resolutely, The reason I was sent to the Dao Family to serve the old man at the age of three was precisely for the illusory profound art. If I can't learn illusion techniques, I'll be letting myself down.

Tang Shisan asked: Then what do you want to do now?

Liu Jinsheng said: I want to use the Fantasy Gu, and enter into illusion.

Tang Shisan did not know about illusions and the Venomous Arts was not very good, so he was a little confused and said: Can you explain it more clearly?

Liu Jinsheng said: Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Follow me to my house and you will know.

Tang Shisan thought that there was nothing else, so he went to his house with Liu Jinsheng.

Liu Jinsheng's courtyard didn't have anything special about it, but upon entering the house, Tang Shisan was completely shocked by the scenery inside. The place that he could put anything in was completely filled with square shaped plates. The noise in the room was filled with the sounds of insects and snakes, only Liu Jinsheng's shrill cry was heard, and the noise disappeared, leaving no sounds behind.

Tang Shisan exclaimed: The method you used to control the parasite is not something that the ordinary Venomous-Insect Envoy s in the Hundred Thousand Mountains can compare to.

Liu Jinsheng said: "After staying with these bugs for so long, they will naturally know your intentions. I have control over their food, and I even have the power to kill them.

Under Liu Jinsheng's guidance, Tang Shisan arrived at his bedroom. The interior of the bedroom was no longer just a small petri dish, but a flat square petri dish.

Liu Jinsheng looked at Tang Shisan from the back, and said: Brother Tang, feel it yourself. As he said that, a strange expression flashed through Liu Jinsheng's eyes. A white dot appeared in the center of Liu Jinsheng's pupils, which spread in all directions and gradually covered his entire pupils.

Tang Shisan immediately felt his mind was in a mess as his thoughts went blank. But in less than two to three seconds, the Three Pure Profound Entrances in his Dantian and Qi Sea activated, causing Tang Shisan's brain to become clear. He shook his head, and Liu Jinsheng who was in front of him looked at him in a daze.

Tang Shisan replied: En, very powerful, but it affects people a little.

Liu Jinsheng said embarrassedly: This is the Soul Breaking Curse, I have cultivated for more than ten years, but I can only trap Brother Tang for two seconds. Ai, forget it. Brother Tang, look at this." Liu Jinsheng picked up a flat Gu plate and gave it to Tang Shisan.

Tang Shisan took the Gu plate and gently removed the lid. The inside of the plate was densely packed with small black worms, which were not even as big as grains of rice. They piled up in groups and continuously wiggled, causing Tang Shisan to feel a wave of disgust.

Tang Shisan immediately closed the lid and returned it back to Liu Jinsheng, What is this?

Liu Jinsheng laughed and said: I entrusted this treasure to Butler Xiao, who searched through the Hundred Thousand Mountains for a long time before finally finding it. I accidentally saw in an ancient book that there was a kind of chanting bug in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that resided in a group and could invade one's brain and devour one's mind. The Butler Xiao sent people to find two of them for me. I nurtured one nest with great care, and after experimenting with it, I found out that the Bug could really dispel human's consciousness. Recently, I was wondering if I could refine the Worm into a Gu, fuse it with my illusions and use the Worm Gu to amplify my illusions, allowing me to step over that threshold.

Tang Shisan looked at the Liu Jinsheng who was so excited that he had gone insane, and his heart turned cold as he thought, No wonder in his courtyard, he doesn't even have a single servant. I'm afraid even he would have done it …

Liu Jinsheng asked: What do you think of this idea, Brother Tang?

Tang Shisan said: Right now, it sounds like it can still be used. It's just like a strange door's talisman, with insufficient dao energy, I can use the talisman to amplify the strength of the Dao, and achieve the effect of summoning fire and lightning. This is no small matter. I'll go back and think about it carefully. I'll come back and talk to you when I have an idea. It's getting late, I should go back.

Liu Jinsheng was overjoyed and immediately thanked him. He sent Tang Shisan out of the courtyard door step by step and then waved his hands to bid farewell.

On the way back, Tang Shisan felt anxious, It's often said that geniuses are on the left, and madmen on the right. For Liu Jinsheng to be able to think of such a method, it was definitely an incredible feat. But why do I feel like something is off somewhere?
