I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 304 Sorry, I'll make it up tomorrow
The earthquake came and went quickly.

It only shook slightly for a moment, and did not cause any turmoil. Only the old man and the shadow looked angry, mixed with a little fear.

"The frequency of turmoil in Shendi has become more and more intensive. Do you still dare to say that there is no problem with the cooperation with Shutao?"

"The turmoil in the ground is due to the disappearance of the blood ginseng transformed by Si Tianli's blood essence. What does it have to do with Shutao?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, then they started arguing again.

Gu Yao just hid his head because of the turmoil, and now he poked his head slightly again.

The old man was trembling with anger, and his hair was about to stand on end.

The fat grimace opened its mouth as if to say something again, but the one on the face, which had been closing its eyes as if sleeping, opened its eyes and said, "Okay, what's the use of making more noise? If you can't find the reference again... King, this place will definitely be destroyed, no matter how much you two waste your time talking, you are disgusting yourself."

As soon as this grimace spoke, the old man and the other grimaces fell silent and stopped talking.

There was another moment of silence, and the grimace grumbled: "Didn't the royal family of the Great Zhou say they would go find King Shen and send it back? Why is there no news yet?"

The old man replied: "There is no news. The people of the Great Zhou court are greedy and short-sighted. Maybe they found out the secret of King Shen and regretted it."

"No, it's impossible. The second son of the current emperor who contacted us in Dazhou is of average ability, but he can listen to persuasion. That's why he can take over the burden of cooperating with us from the emperor." Fat grimace immediately retorted:

"Even though he was jealous of Ying Mudao and tried to squeeze Ying Mudao out through small means several times, he finally endured it under the persuasion of others."

"Shen Wang is indeed valuable, but its value is not as high as that of Banyue Lake. He will not be stupid."

The old man heard that he was refuted again, suppressed his anger, and asked: "Then what do you think? It is because the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is incompetent, and King Shen cannot be found?"

The fat grimace Quan pretended not to hear: "Sir, the royal family has said several times that the power controlled by Ying Mudao's elder brother can threaten the royal family, and perhaps this power is obstructing it."

The old man immediately retorted: "The royal family will only blame everything on others. Since they found this place a hundred years ago to now, hundreds of accidents have happened, all of which have been pushed to other people. Do you believe it? It must be"

"Okay." The grimace on his face interrupted: "No matter what the reason is, we need to prepare with both hands."

"He Rong, you sent the villagers out to look for blood ginseng, do you have any clues?"

He Rong is the old man, and he immediately said: "A large number of blood ginseng appeared in the area of ​​Luoyang and Beimen Mountain. They are looking for it and organized a large number of wild grasses."

"How is the entry?"

The old man lowered his head, not daring to speak.

The fat grimace immediately smiled and said: "Trash."

Then he said triumphantly: "Sir, you asked me to find a place similar to this place, and I found it."

"Oh?" The grimace on the face became much more emphatic.

Fat grimace said: "I found two places below, both in the water, and one goes straight down the Bashui River, into the sea and into the Guixu, and that place is in the Guixu."

The old man hastily interjected: "You bastard, you actually want Mr. Guixu to enter Guixu, don't you know where Guixu is? Or do you want to kill Mr. deliberately?"

The grimace on his face scolded: "Shut up, He Chong, just keep talking."

The old man looked ugly, shut his mouth and shrank aside.

Fat Grimace sneered before continuing: "Sir, how dare He Chong be careless about your orders? The Guixu I just mentioned is not the place where the world's water gathers according to rumors, but a small island named Guixu .”

"This island is in the water. There is a stone tablet on the island with the word Guixu engraved on it. Although it is in the sea, there is an air wall to isolate the sea water. It meets Mr.'s requirements in every way. The only shortcoming is that there is no Sunshine, well, yes, it is far away, which is also a disadvantage."

The grimace on his face hummed: "That's right, what about the other one?"

Fat grimace smiled and said: "The other one is much closer and more in line with your requirements. That place is Lin'an Mansion, Xingluo Lake."

Gu Yao pricked up his ears.

The old man also raised his head, and before the fat grimace could say anything, he shouted, no.

"Sir, no, you must never go to Xingluo Lake. We already know what happened there a hundred years ago. If we go there, we will wait."

The grimace on his face showed anger for the first time, and he scolded, "Shut up!"

The fat grimace became more and more smug, and the smile became more sinister: "Sir, I have already found out about the situation of Xingluo Lake. That Xingluo Lake was originally called Xingluo Lake. It is a huge lake of thousands of hectares. At night, the stars are dotted, and there are magnificent waves. Worse than the starry sky, this is how it got the name Xingluo Lake."

"And a hundred years ago, a man who was the best in the world fought against the strongest in the world, chopped up the stars and fell into the lake, so it was called Xingluo Lake."

"Sir, you must have heard of this matter before."

The grimace on his face flickered slightly, as if he was nodding.

Fat Grimace smiled, and continued: "But Mr. Presumably doesn't know that before Xingluo Lake became Xingluo Lake, there was a legend."

"Under the lake, there is an ancient city. No one knows what it used to be called, but now because there is a statue of a lion on the left side of the city gate and a statue of a tiger on the right, it has been called the City of Lions and Tigers."

"And this Lion Tiger City is what I said is more in line with your requirements, sir."

The grimace on his face let out an oh.

"Sir, the place you are asking for is first of all that there are few people and it is secluded enough. Needless to say, this Lion and Tiger City is hidden at the bottom of Xingluo Lake, and this Xingluo Lake is vast. One corner, extremely secretive."

"Secondly, this city of lions and tigers is yin and yang on the right. I don't know why. Yin and yang are separated in that city. Although it is flooded with water, it is amazing that people can breathe underwater."

"Even He Rong, as long as he enters the city, he doesn't have to worry about drowning."

With a grimace on his face, he said, "How do you know?"

"Sir, I arranged for people to find thousands of fishermen around Xingluo Lake, and probe into their memories. Only then did I hear this news in the memory of an old fisherman. This secret was passed down by word of mouth from that fisherman's ancestors. To confirm, I also asked the fisherman to go there himself."

With a grimace on his face, he praised: "Okay, well done."

"Since that's the case, then start preparing now, and go to the Lion Tiger City in Xingluo Lake before it collapses here."

But Fat Grimace did not agree immediately, but said after a while: "Sir, but there is still one problem that has not been resolved."

"Ok?"

"It's like this sir. Everything in Liger City is good, but there is another reason why it has been kept so hidden, apart from what I said before, the location is hidden."

The fat grimace hesitated, not daring to speak out.

The grimace on the face snorted coldly, and flew up directly, manipulating the shadow's head and body to separate, and landed in front of the fat grimace: "Say."

The old man wanted to add insult to injury, but just opened his mouth, seeing this scene, he immediately closed it, bowed his head and remained silent.

The fat grimace said: "There are countless three-legged bird-like strange fish around the Lion Tiger City, defending that city."

"How did you bring that fisherman in before then?"

"When the fish saw the fisherman, they took the initiative to move away, but the fisherman was later silenced in the city. As soon as my subordinate informed me of the situation and just walked out of the city gate, he was bitten into pieces by the strange fish."

The fat grimace tried to shrink back, farther away from the other end: "Afterwards, I tried it many times, but I was killed every time."

"Now it seems that either the fisherman who knew the secret was different, or he died in the city, causing a change."

After the fat grimace finished speaking, he quickly shut up.

The grimace on his face stared at it for a while, then snorted again: "What strength are those strange fish?"

Fat Grimace breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Hui, a single person is very weak, and ordinary people can kill them with a little effort, but once there are too many of them, they will be terribly strong. In addition, the closer they are to the lion and tiger city, the stronger they will be. It is currently tested. , more than 800 entries are probably better than Shutao."

"How many are there?"

"." The fat grimace opened its mouth, but said nothing.

Finally, under the gaze of needles and swords, it whispered: "About 6000."

Face grimace: "."

The fat grimace sneaked a glance at the grimace on that face, seeing that it was not angry, but was thinking about how to deal with these strange fish, and said in a low voice: "Those fish seem to evolve, as long as there is any special qi touched by them, They also get stronger."

"Currently, their strongest methods are water control and the golden light curse, which is the strongest Taoist that Shutao killed. Once they are used, ordinary methods can't hurt at all."

"They can also control lightning, and they have only been used once so far, so I don't know how."

The grimace on his face was silent for a while: "What else do you want to add? How about going directly to attack the Tianshi Mansion?"

"Sir, you are joking."

"I think you are trying to make me happy, there is such a group of strange fish in the deep water in that place, you should have said earlier." The old man jumped out in time.

"Okay, shut up."

The ghost head on the face scolded and flew back to the shadow body: "I will think about this matter, you two continue to let those villagers go to find other places and King Shen, by the way, He Rong, go and see your villagers and books What's the matter with Tao? Why hasn't she come yet?"

The old man agreed, and stood upside down and backed away.

Gu Yao hastily pushed Jing Yin and Die Er to retreat behind the bookcase, watching the old man retreat straight to the earth steps.

He turned around, swept twice on the wall under the earthen steps, took out a red candle from the small cloth pouch at his waist, lit it, and swept several times on the wall of the earthen steps.

"He Xiao, He Xiao."

While scanning, the old man called out the man's name.

After a while, there was a gurgling sound coming from the soil.

After a while, a black circle suddenly appeared in the light illuminated by the candle, and a human head emerged from it. It was the man in sackcloth who had been dug out from the tree by Gu Yao earlier.

"Grumbling."

The sackclothed man grunted a lot, and the tone sounded like a complaint. The old man nodded vigorously, then responded with a grunt, and finally took out a handful of red roots from the cloth bag and stuffed them into the sackclothed man's mouth.

The man in sackcloth chewed these red roots vigorously, unexpectedly biting out a large amount of red juice, and his yellow and white teeth turned blood red, as if drinking blood.

Then he tried to get out of the black circle, first with one hand, then a leg, then his body, the other leg, and finally, like a tug-of-war, his feet pushed against the earth wall and pulled out from the black circle. own other arm.

Gu Yao pursed his lips tightly, while Jing Yin kept patting Gu Yao's arm.

The arm of the man in sackcloth turned into countless finger-thin red branches, covered with teeth marks.

He pulled it out with great effort, and finally pulled out a woman at the end.

Shu Tao.

She was like a fish biting the bait, her hands and arms were stiff and she was lying on the ground straight, she just opened her mouth and bit the red branch fiercely, sucking the blood inside, even if she was pulled out, she still bit tightly, only One pair of eyes looked at the two fiercely.

The man in sackcloth shook the arm violently, but it was useless, so he could only look at the old man helplessly, and murmured a few more words.

The old man patted his shoulder lightly to comfort him, walked towards Shutao by himself, squatted down and looked at Shutao on the ground, and said, "Immortal officer, sir wants to see you, why don't you cooperate, and I'll untie this for you too." poison?"

"If you agree, just blink?"

Shutao looked fiercely, and suddenly blinked desperately. The old man thought she agreed, and while taking something out of his bosom, he said: "Immortal officer, don't blink like that, just need... ah!"

The candles in the room were suddenly extinguished, and everything was plunged into darkness.

Gu Yao popped out in an instant, knocked out the old man and the man in hemp clothes with a hand knife, and then dragged the three of them with Jing Yin and Die Er, jumped onto the upper wooden door, and rushed out.

The three of them walked like flying, went out the door to raise their body and move their qi, and rushed out of the village in an instant, flying straight thousands of feet away before stopping.

Gu Yao lowered his head to look at Shutao first. She was pinched by Mute Master Tai, dragging her like a chicken. At this moment, her whole body was covered in dust and dirt, but she still insisted on biting the blood-red branch.

Die'er dragged He Xiao, a man in sackcloth whose arm had changed, by one leg, dragging a bloody road abruptly along the way. At the moment, the flesh and blood were bloody, but just when he stopped, he could see countless tiny blood-red tendons in the flesh and blood that looked like earthworms. Generally move and twist.

These flesh-and-blood earthworms secreted a large amount of viscous yellow translucent liquid, which quickly solidified and turned into skin.

With the effort of three or two breaths, except for that arm, he has become no different from an ordinary person again.

The line of blood on the ground looks more like the old man in Gu Yao's hand.

Although the old man was weird, he was indeed just a mortal. Gu Yao mentioned that he hadn't touched him, but it gave Gu Yao the feeling that he was about to die.

After taking a few mouthfuls of Qi, Gu Yao put the old man on the ground, and just as he was about to wake him up, he saw the red whiskers protruding from his chest.

"This is what he fed to He Xiao."

Gu Yao glanced at He Xiao's arm, tore off a piece of cloth from the old man's clothes, and pulled out the red beard through the cloth.

As soon as he got it, Gu Yao was taken aback: "This thing is actually alive?!"

Different from what I imagined, this thing was warm and soft when I touched it. When I first got it, they twisted each other, trying to get through the cloth and touch Gu Yao's skin.

"Is this thing... related to blood ginseng? Is it the beard of blood ginseng?"

This thing twisted more and more vigorously, Gu Yao threw most of them back to the old man's chest, held one tightly, and looked it over carefully.

"But why, they didn't move at all on this old man?"
