Chapter 211 Six Magic Altars
"What happened to Zhuang Kong?"

Taoist Cang Xuan was a little curious. It was different from Chu Tai and Jingguang's way of refining their magic weapons, and also different from the subsequent changes that the five scattered people dealt with in returning their vital energy.

Zhuang Kong's purpose has always been very clear, which is to find his younger brother, so after taking his materials more than 20 days ago, he embarked on the journey to find Zhuang Ming.

Unexpectedly, more than thirty days later, it was his younger brother who brought him news, and it sounded like he was not in good condition.

Taoist Cang Xuan stretched out his hand and dropped a little mist, which surrounded Zhuang Ming and helped him to get rid of the anger in his body.

Hearing the noise, Taoist Zhengyang rushed over and was surprised when he saw the anger.

"Great Sun Bing Fire Pure Yang Qi? No, it looks a little different. There seems to be a trace of evil hidden inside. What happened to Fellow Daoist Shi?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ming cursed in a low voice, "There's something wrong with Shi Ruotie. He has plotted against many people. Now Zhuang Kong is trapped by him. Go and save him."

Mo Hong and Chang Pu, who had just arrived, also frowned, and their faces turned unsightly.

Taoist Zhengyang felt inexplicably worried and asked hurriedly, "You said he plotted against many people. Who did he plot against?"

"Master Shang Jian from Jinzhong Mountain, Madam Luohua from Maludong, and the brothers Xiangying and Xiangxuan from Shiertan. Master Shang Jian and Madam Luohua are already dead. Zhuang Kong, Xiangying and Xiangxuan won't be able to hold on for much longer. You guys go quickly!"

After hearing what Zhuang Ming said, Taoist Mu Jing, who arrived shortly afterwards, looked even uglier. He had actually felt that something was not right with the Fire Immortal Shi Ruotie for a long time, but he had never been able to find any mistakes or omissions on his part, and he had not caused any bad influence, so he let him leave with a small amount of resources.

Unexpectedly, the other party had harmed several of his fellow practitioners one after another and targeted the Zhuang Kong brothers.

Taoist Zhengyang, who was more impatient, asked for the location clearly, then flicked his long sleeves and left with the fire.

Seeing this, Mo Hong and Chang Pu hurriedly followed.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Mu Jing pinched his fingers and cast a spell to contact Chu Tai and the Goddess of Pure Light.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Pure Light immediately planned to go and help, but Chu Tai stepped forward to stop her.

"I see that the atmosphere there is tending towards peace. It is obvious that you have just suppressed the demonic changes rolling in the South China Sea Purple Bamboo. Leaving now will only lead to failure, making the previous month's cleansing useless, and even making it more difficult to expel the demonic nature inside. Let me deal with Zhuang Kong's problem."

As he spoke, Chu Tai walked out of the place where he practiced, holding a purple bamboo branch. He first let down streams of pure air to draw out the remaining fire poison in Zhuang Ming's body, then he pushed him towards a place with his backhand.

During this time, he said to Taoist Cang Xuan and Taoist Mu Jing, "I will be back soon. I would like to trouble you two and Taoist Jing Guang to stay here and prevent the earth's qi from becoming chaotic."

After saying this, without waiting for the two to respond, he turned into a long rainbow and chased in the direction where Taoist Zhengyang left.

However, when the two were halfway there, Chu Tai suddenly changed direction and flew towards the other side of the ravine.

Seeing this, Zhuang Ming hurriedly asked, "Where are we going? Zhuang Kong is not there!"

Chu Tai looked back at Zhuang Ming. The light of the sun and the moon was flashing in his pupils, and thousands of silk threads were dancing. Zhuang Ming, who was looking at him, changed his expression slightly and did not dare to look directly at him.

"I have no interest in knowing what you want to do, but I am a little curious. You and your brother should have a good relationship. Is it really okay to trick him like this?"

In Chu Tai's eyes, Zhuang Ming's past, except for a few special moments, is generally clear. Chu Tai can see that Zhuang Ming used to study with Zhuang Kong, but was limited by his own nature and could not comprehend Zhuang Kong's path. Eventually, after falling into a secret realm, he distorted Zhuang Kong's path and turned it into the current Beiming Ruins Haigui Yuanqi.

But on the other hand, Zhuang Ming himself is constantly influenced by the Yuan Qi returning from the Beiming Ruins. His path has lost the meaning of the immortal way that Zhuang Kong comprehended from various Taoist texts, especially the classics of Zhuangzi annotated by a certain ancestor, and is inevitably leaning towards the path of evil or destruction.

Chu Tai looked at Zhuang Ming, and some doubts gradually emerged in his eyes.

"You have a strong tendency to self-destruct, but you also instinctively save yourself. You try to find the reason and meaning of your survival through the pursuit with your brother. Logically, you shouldn't do such a thing."

Chu Tai's words made Zhuang Ming pale, and he asked sternly: "What did you do to me?"

"to you?"

Chu Tai shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't need to do anything to you. Your information is already recorded between heaven and earth. It's just that ordinary people can't see it, but I just happen to be able to see it. From the information I saw, the only thing that's wrong is the secret place where you disappeared that year. Can you tell me what you saw? What made you have such a self-destructive tendency and forced you to ask your brother for help in this way?"

When Zhuang Ming heard this, he immediately revealed a hint of sneer.

"I thought you could see a lot, but there are things you don't know?"

Chu Tai did not answer, but waved the bamboo branch in his hand. The bamboo leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, and ripples like the tide spread out in all directions.

When Zhuang Ming became impatient, he said slowly: "I am just curious about this matter. It has no impact on me whether you tell me or not. I don't need your answer to find Zhuang Kong. Well, I found it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Ming was dragged by Chu Tai to the side of an altar.

The altar has three levels in a hexagonal shape, each level is 12 feet high, and stands in a valley.

There is a flag inserted in each corner, and on the top is the flag of the six demons of the desire realm. There are scarlet patterns painted on it with cinnabar, and each one is twisted and strange, which makes people shudder.

The middle layer has six Ding and six Jia flags, depicting the phantoms of the gods, but it uses the righteous method to borrow the power of the guardian gods of Daluo Heaven.

At the bottom, six flags of heaven, earth, mountain, water, sun and moon are planted to construct the altar and prevent the devil from escaping. It is also a way to confuse the power of the Six Dings and Six Jias so that they don't know that they are protecting the devil's altar.

Finally, many secret magic spells were engraved on the rock wall behind each flag, further increasing the restraining power of the altar and its ability to deceive the Six Dings and Six Jias.

Therefore, as soon as Chu Tai descended, he felt that he was surrounded by the mysterious demonic power of the heavens.

These secret demons are blessed by the altar and can travel to various places in the valley. They come and go without a trace. They follow the mind and the demons come from thoughts. They are unpredictable and unpredictable. Whenever Chu Tai loses self-control, these secret demons will immediately take advantage of the opportunity to invade, ruin his cultivation, and hurt his three treasures.

Therefore, without thinking, Chu Tai gently waved the purple bamboo branch in his hand. The bamboo leaves trembled, and the vital energy surged. The spring thunder Dharma that he had comprehended in the past surged, and along with the surging vital energy, it turned into thunderbolts that fell down and directly hit the surroundings of the altar, shaking the eighteen banners.

Taoist Hong Yue, who was hiding in the altar, suddenly changed color. He looked up and saw Chu Tai and Zhuang Ming. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What a waste! He was asked to trick people into saving others, but he ended up leading them to me!"

After cursing inwardly, Taoist Hong Yue also shook the six flags of the sky, earth, mountain, water, sun and moon in the outside world. The rosy clouds surged up, carrying the lightning. The shadows of the Six Dings and Six Jias emerged, revealing the aura of righteousness. Then he straightened his clothes, showed an angry look on his face, and soared into the sky.

"Who ruined my plan to refine the devil?"
