Chapter 665: Kill Li Zangfeng First! Demon King Corpse
Hong Ming!
At that time, Zhou Dao left Pingjiang City and entered Beijing to attend the Yuan Dynasty Dharma Assembly. He passed by the evil mausoleum and met a depressed scholar in the ruined temple.
That is Hong Ming.
At that time, Hong Ming failed the exams many times, was in a state of physical and mental decline, and almost fell into the trap of a fox demon.
If Zhou Dao hadn't appeared in time, maybe he would have turned into bones and decayed for who knows how many years.
Later, Zhou Dao studied the Mantra and Sun Seal at the foot of Xuantian Mountain, and often interacted with Hong Ming and formed a friendship.
Later, when Hong Ming saw the magic of Taoism, he gave up his time to obtain fame and traveled around the world, hoping to practice Taoism and understand the mysteries of heaven and man.
So many years have passed, times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed.
Zhou Dao did not expect to meet again in this original place.
"Hong Ming, it's you." Zhou Dao stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
"Time always goes away inadvertently. It's very interesting to meet again today." Hong Ming said with a slight smile.
After not seeing him for many years, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is no longer the pedantic and timid he was back then. He has a sense of confidence and calmness in every move he makes.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that your wish has come true and you have achieved Taoism." Zhou Dao looked up and down, but found something strange.
With his cultivation level, he was somewhat unable to see through the other party.
"Both and each other, you are now honored as King Yuan and are famous all over the world." Hong Ming said with a chuckle.
"That day, during the battle at Longhu Mountain, Brother Zhou showed off his power and swept away all his peers. He finally broke through and entered the Tao, holding up a world to accommodate the disciples of Longhu Mountain. This act was really courageous."
"Huh? How do you know?" Zhou Dao's expression changed slightly.
On that day, he ignored the imperial decree and forcibly entered the Taoist realm, where he took in the spiritual disciples and members of the Elder Council with the concept of peace.
To a certain extent, this is rebellion and rebellion.
However, Emperor Qin did not care about it later and instead suppressed the matter, so it was impossible for outsiders to know.
"I was at Longhu Mountain that day."
"Are you in Longhu Mountain!?" Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed.
"Since I said that I want to see all the Taoisms in the world, Longhu Mountain is known as the first of all Taoisms and the authentic Taoism. How can it not be wrong?" Hong Ming said calmly.
"You are indeed different from before."
Zhou Dao couldn't help but feel moved, feeling that Hong Ming now had an unfathomable flavor.
"Is it possible that this person is so blessed that he will achieve great achievements by studying literature and entering Taoism just like the Qi Pillar back then?"
"Um?"
Suddenly, Hong Mingruo moved and turned his head to look in one direction.
"Brother Zhou, you have indeed become a noble person now, and you have the Nine Divine Pillars showing their sympathy."
"Qi Pillar!?" Zhou Dao frowned slightly and followed Hong Ming's gaze.
After many years of separation, Hong Ming was able to detect the existence of the Qi Pillar before him.
"It's a pity. I still want to get closer to you and say goodbye." Hong Ming shook his head, showing regret.
"What's so difficult about this? If you follow me back to the capital, you can tell me about the opportunities over the years." Zhou Dao stretched out his hand to hold Hong Ming.
"I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."
Hong Ming turned around and turned into a gust of wind and floated far away.
"What does this mean?" Zhou Dao looked slightly condensed.
"I can't see the Qi Pillar..." Hong Ming stood in the distance, looking back and smiling.
"Zhou Dao, we will meet again."
"I hope that by then, you can break through this realm and talk to me from a very high place." The smile on Hong Ming's face gradually faded, and he looked at the rising sun with a hint of yearning.
"I also want to see the elegance of this descendant of the setting sun."
Zhou Dao heard the words, his eyes trembled slightly, and he took a step forward. The desolate land in front of him was everywhere, and there was no figure of Hong Ming anywhere.
"What the hell..." Wang Xiaoyi was shocked.
"Brother Dao, is this your friend?"
Wang Xiaoyi looked unkind and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.
He is now a strong man in the Dragon Gate realm, but he didn't catch even a trace of the person's aura just now. He didn't know where he was coming from, and he didn't know where he was going.
"Hong Ming!?" Zhou Dao said with a heavy face, chewing the name gently.
call……
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew by, the robes fluttered, and the hunter was flying.
A pillar of air appeared in front of me.
His eyes were focused, scanning the surroundings as if he was looking for something.
"Who did you meet?" Qi Zhu asked.
Zhou Dao hesitated for a moment and then explained what had just happened.
"No matter who he is, if you meet him in the future, be careful." Qi Zhu solemnly warned.
"Senior, does that person have a problem?" Wang Xiaoyi blurted out.
"He is hostile to you." Qi Zhu looked at Zhou Dao.
"To me? Why?"
Zhou Dao was stunned and couldn't understand.
"I hope that this person has mixed aura. He seems to have mastered hundreds of magical powers and practiced all the methods in the world, but in fact he is using this to hide his true aura." Qi Zhu said in a deep voice.
"What you see must not be his true appearance, or it could be that this person has changed and is no longer the same as before."
Qi Zhu took a deep look at Zhou Dao: "I can tell you that he is very dangerous. If he had taken action just now..."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to protect yourself."
"Zhou Dao..." Wang Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed and he took a breath of air.
What Hong Ming did just now was indeed a bit unusual. Looking back, it was really suspenseful.
"What happened to him? How did he grow up to this point?" Zhou Dao frowned, Hong Ming's last words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
"I hope that by then, you can break through this realm and talk to me from a very high place."
"I also want to see the elegance of this descendant of the setting sun."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Imperial Tomb of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The voice of the Qi Pillar sounded leisurely, pulling Zhou Dao back from his thoughts.
…
At the foot of the barren mountain, beside the ruined temple.
Hong Ming looked at this familiar scene, and the scene when he met Zhou Dao came to his mind.
"The Qi Pillar is indeed a Qi Pillar. It's really powerful. It can see so deeply."
Suddenly, Hong Ming's expression changed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his indifferent eyes.
"Hehe, the name of the Nine Divine Pillars is due to Qin Taizu's luck, so it is naturally extraordinary... Among the people in the world who have the ability to hurt you, the Qi Pillar is one of them..."
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from Hong Ming's arms.
"If you and I take action, how certain are we that we can get rid of it?" Hong Ming said solemnly.
"It's hard to say. This person's ability to read Qi is unparalleled in the world, and his spying on heaven's secrets is unfathomable. Moreover, there are many masters around this evil mausoleum. If he takes action, he will inevitably attract attention."
The cold voice sounded again, analyzing calmly.
"Then let's go."
"Where to go?" asked a cold voice.
"The Great Swamp of the West." Hong Ming's lips curled up slightly.
"Sword Pillar Li Zangfeng!?" The cold voice laughed ferociously: "Among the Nine Divine Pillars, he is also the one who has the ability to hurt you..."
"The most important thing is that Jianzhu is also a disciple of the Sunset Sect... The hatred is as deep as the sea, so it's just right to take advantage of him."
As he spoke, the cold voice became louder and louder, and he actually laughed crazily.
"Kill Li Zangfeng first!"
Hong Ming took a step forward, merged into the void, and disappeared completely.
…
At the entrance to the Imperial Tomb of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stone dragons are entrenched on the Tongtian Pillar on both sides. The traces of time are mottled and visible. The head of one of the stone dragons has long since disappeared.
The altar is raised high, incense is lingering, and seven colorful flags are placed in front of it, facing different directions.
"Senior Qi Zhu, what kind of battle is this?" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.
"The cause and effect of opening a grave is too great, not to mention that this is the mausoleum of the Zhou royal family?" Qi Zhu whispered: "I will suppress the evil spirits in the tomb for you and suppress any movements from all directions. You just go in and get the knife."
"You won't go in with us?" Wang Xiaoyi's eyes widened.
He heard that there was a Qi Pillar to support him, so he felt confident and followed him here.
"If I go in, the cause and effect will be greater. I don't know how dangerous I will encounter. I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to you."
Once a master like Qi Zhu enters the imperial mausoleum, he is afraid that it will cause greater backlash and be detrimental to others.
"It doesn't matter. If we go in, we can still get the Jue Tian Sword." Zhou Dao was full of confidence.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, knocking on the door of life and death!"
As soon as the air pillar pointed out, seven colorful flags sprayed out thin rays of light, intertwined in the sky, and turned into a pagoda.
The pagoda is seven stories high, with treasure aura soaring into the sky and thousands of auspicious auras. It is reflected on the tomb door of the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and actually opens a portal that leads directly to the void.
"I'm not leaving."
Zhou Dao didn't hesitate, pulled Wang Xiaoyi and rushed in.
"Brother Dao, this is someone's ancestral grave, is it appropriate?" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but say.
Those who dig up people's ancestral graves will be punished by God. These are the words left by our ancestors.
Zhou Dao looked at him deeply, but said nothing.
He didn't even spare his own ancestral grave, and he still cares about this! ?
Rumble…
The two of them seemed to have passed through a membrane, and their eyes were completely dark, followed by a surge of warmth, as if they had reached the other side of life, feeling extremely comfortable and moist...
Wow…
The river surged and waves swept across. Zhou Dao opened his eyes, but he was already in an underground river.
It's just that this underground dark box, together with the underground magma, is extremely hot and warm, which makes people feel quite comfortable.
"Damn it, the Imperial Tomb of the Great Zhou Dynasty is flooded?"
Wang Xiaoyi jumped up and flew out of the underground river. His whole body was lightly shaken by the force, which evaporated the river water.
"This is already deep inside the Imperial Tomb of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Zhou Dao glanced at it.
This underground palace is extremely vast, like a cave in the sky. The top is inlaid with East China Sea dragon beads, emitting bright light, like stars in the sky, permanently illuminating the mausoleum.
"Is this a real dragon bead!?" Wang Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.
The East China Sea Shark Pearl recorded in the "Monster Control Division Work Manual" was born from the Shark Man.
Rumor has it that when each mermaid is born, a bead embryo will be gestated in the body. As they grow, affected by the power of the ocean's tides, the bead embryo will gradually take shape.
When the shark reaches adulthood, the beads will fully grow and merge into the heart, allowing such monsters to gain unparalleled power, control sea water, influence tides, and have various other abilities.
For example, on a stormy night, singing can confuse people's hearts and so on.
This kind of shark pearl has the highest value, and it is bright and bright day and night.
In ancient times, many royal nobles used it for lighting.
In addition, shark beads can also be used to make elixirs. Mortals who eat them can gain a beautiful face no matter how ugly they are, but they can no longer speak.
Therefore, Taoist masters once hunted and killed the sharks, but now, this kind of monster has almost become extinct.
It is so precious and hard to find anymore.
However, the East China Sea dragon bead on the dome of the Imperial Tomb of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born from a dragon. The essence and blood gathered, the dragon body was tempered, and took shape for hundreds of years. It was nourished by the energy of the dragon's veins and absorbed the power of the ocean tides to transform.
It is said that if you put this thing in the sea, it can calm the storm, if you put it in the mountains, it can give birth to dragon veins, if you put it in the ancestor's grave, it can emit green smoke...
"As expected of the former royal family..."
Zhou Dao's heart moved. This thing can crush the external incarnation when refining it, absorb the dragon energy in it, and add even more divine power.
Rumble…
Zhou Dao used his magic power, and his big hand raised up to the sky. With a flick of his hand, he took down all the thirty-six East China Sea dragon beads on the dome.
The next moment, the imperial mausoleum shook, and cracks appeared on the dome, spreading to all sides.
"Damn it, it's going to collapse..." Wang Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed.
Buzz…
At this moment, a ray of seven-treasure glazed light burst through the air, filling the cracks, and the originally shaky dome returned to stability.
"Hahaha... As expected of Senior Qi Zhu."
Zhou Dao was overjoyed. With Qi Pillar supporting him, he could do whatever he wanted in the Zhou Imperial Tomb.
"Take it." Zhou Dao raised his hand, separated the thirty-six East China Sea dragon beads, and gave them to Wang Xiaoyi.
Those who see it have a share, this is the rule.
"Hehe, good stuff."
Wang Xiaoyi casually took out one, which was about the size of a fist and glowed like an ocean. A faint dragon-shaped shadow could be seen swimming in the center of the bead.
"I just want to refine a spiritual weapon. With these eighteen East China Sea dragon beads, the power can be doubled." Wang Xiaoyi felt hot in his heart and was eager to try it.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Dao didn't want to linger any longer. He didn't come here for the eighteen East China Sea dragon beads.
Going deep into the imperial mausoleum, a winding road like a real dragon emerges in front of you.
"This is Shenglong Road. It can only be built in royal mausoleums... After passing Shenglong Road, there is the Shanghuang Bridge, and then there are the coffins and coffins of the imperial mausoleums..."
"Brother Dao, look at this road moving." Wang Xiaoyi felt strange.
Sure enough, the winding road was constantly squirming like a bug, and even undulating slightly, as if it was breathing.
"Is this red dragon skin!?" Zhou Dao's eyes lit up.
It is recorded in the "Work Manual of the Demon Control Division" that there are scales in the mountains, covering ten miles, like a red dragon transforming, breathing long, if alive, growing one inch every ten years, which can avoid disasters.
According to legend, after a thunderstorm, a kind of red scale skin will be found in some spiritual mountains and swamps, which looks like the shedding of some kind of creature. The world calls it red dragon skin, and it is said to be left by the red dragon.
This kind of skin can breathe and grow an inch every ten years, as if it is alive. If you keep it with you, you can avoid disasters.
In ancient times, there were masters in the Taoist sect who made it into robes, which could protect them from three disasters and nine disasters.
"It's amazing, this is a spiritual treasure that protects the Tao." Zhou Dao smiled.
This thing is used to resist the catastrophe of heaven and man, and the success rate of condensing the seal can be increased by 10%.
"Received!"
Zhou Dao used his magic power to uproot the entire Shenglong Road and pocket it.
Rumble…
Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The entire imperial mausoleum was roaring and might collapse at any time.
Buzz…
The seven-treasure glazed light broke through the void and held up the world, and the turbulent fluctuations gradually subsided.
"Let's go and continue searching. Senior Qi Zhu has the whole story, so I'm afraid of you." Zhou Daole said happily.
After a while, an arch bridge like a rainbow appeared.
There was a phantom standing on the bridge, with a demonic aura soaring into the sky, like a reborn demon, which made Wang Xiaoyi tremble.
"This is...the demon king's corpse!"
