You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 257 Before the Rain

“I took a strange dart mission and ran a short distance, just to Gray Mountain.

"I saw that the distance was short and it would only take one day. I was free at the time, so I planned to help him solve the problem myself. But I'm not stupid. I knew there must be something wrong with this kind of unusual thing, so I asked more questions.

"The rice merchant told me that there was a dazzling white light next to the Gray Mountain, which attracted many vagrants. He felt that the vagrants were dishonest and the goods he was transporting were very important, so he simply came to me to transport them.

"I agreed and delivered the goods to him. I didn't encounter any strange things along the way and the goods were delivered smoothly.

"It was also my fault that I was greedy and curious about the white light. I relied on the skills you taught me and decided to go over and take a look.

“When I got to the foot of Gray Mountain, I wanted to go in and take a look, but I was immediately stopped by a few martial artists. They told me that there was a thick fog in Gray Mountain, which was very strange. If I went in rashly, I might not be able to get out.

"I went over to take a look, and wow, I saw an evil light flashing in the fog!"

When he said this, Liu Laizi showed a slightly horrified expression on his face, as if he had recalled something horrifying:

"The whole fog suddenly turned black, like a piece of cloth soaked in ink, blocking my view. I couldn't see anything clearly.

"I stared at the darkness, and I felt like my soul was being sucked in. I felt that if I stared at it for a few more seconds, it would be completely devoured, leaving nothing behind, and I would be scared away."

After hearing what Liu Laizi said, Zuo Chen frowned slightly.

I'm afraid the thieves have already started to act.

I glanced at the sky. Even in the afternoon, it was still covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain again.

A sheep was being slaughtered in the escort agency and it was quite lively. According to Daliang's cooking method, it would probably take another hour and a half to prepare the meal.

The time should be enough.

After thinking for a while, he simply stood up and said to Liu Laizi with a smile:
"Captain, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back later. I will definitely be able to catch up with dinner."

"Ah? What is the Taoist priest going to do?"

"The Taoist temple is nearby, so I have to go back and take a look first and sweep the dust inside to avoid some dirt from entering and affecting my mood."

"Oh oh." Although Liu Laizi nodded, he felt strange in his heart.

Zuo Chen didn't leave earlier or later, but just left after hearing about Huishan's trouble.

Is this going back to Huishan?
There is a disaster over there. Can the Taoist priest really come back in such a short time?

Then he asked again:
"Master, do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, there's no one in the Taoist temple, I just want to stay for a while."

Zuo Chen comforted Liu Laizi, who didn't know the truth. Liu Laizi had some guesses in his mind, but in the end he kept them in his heart and didn't say anything.

Caiyi saw Zuo Chen was about to leave, so she quickly stood up and followed him:
"Taoist Master."

"Wait for me here with Master Donkey."

"Master, I can already generate my own innate true qi."

"I'm afraid the enemy's tactics this time are similar to those used in the Sea of ​​Bitterness."

Caiyi felt a little lost.

I thought I had made great progress, but when faced with strong opponents, I was still unable to help.

He was also very clear that if he went ahead rashly he would only hold back, so he could only nod.

Zuo Chen rubbed Caiyi's head with a smile:
"Don't be sad. Along the way, the reputation of the eldest aunt who saved the world is not false. But now some of the villains are here from the past, and they just brought some old capital with them. Aren't your qualifications and abilities much better than theirs?"

Caiyi felt like Zuo Chen was forcing himself to praise her...

After giving Caiyi a few more instructions, Zuo Chen suddenly slapped his forehead, reached into his sleeves, and took out the golden boy and jade girl.

Ever since the Jade Girl absorbed the fire last time, the two little guys seemed to have been stimulated by something and fell into a deep sleep. It seems that they will not wake up for a while.

Zuo Chen still doesn’t know what will happen to these two little guys after they wake up, but when he touched them recently, they felt a little fleshy.

After handing the two little guys over to Caiyi, Caiyi held them in both hands, not knowing where to put them. She had no choice but to find a small blanket, wrap them both up, and finally put them on the cart behind Donkey Grandpa.

"But please keep an eye on them. I'm leaving first."

He smiled, then turned and left, found a deserted place, took out his kettle, protected the clouds and rode the mist, took off on the cloud, and headed straight towards the Gray Mountain.

Ji Xiaoyu didn't know what Zuo Chen wanted to do, but seeing that the sister he had just met in the past two days seemed a little disappointed, he went over and asked:

"How long will it take for the Taoist priest to come back?"

"It won't take long."

Caiyi regained her spirit and spoke in a calm tone.

...Little Joy walked up the mountain step by step along the bluestone steps that were already covered with layers of weeds.

He walked slowly, as if he was savoring the beautiful scenery on top of the gray mountain.

At this moment, his left hand was pitch black, holding a bone mace. Just looking at his palm would make one's eyes wander away, as if falling into an abyss.

Being inside the big formation, he should not have any true energy in his body, but now, thick waves are surging from his body.

There is no doubt that it is the surge of true Qi!
He used some tricks to circumvent the restrictions of this formation!

The eldest brother was humming a little tune, obviously in a very good mood.

Soon, he came to the end of the long road.

This is an extremely simple residence, with a small courtyard made of wood and paper, and a house covered with thatched grass. A chicken coop can be seen in the yard, but there is no living thing in it now.

When I entered, I saw that there was everything inside except tables, chairs and benches to entertain guests.

"It is true that those who live in seclusion do not like visitors. There is not even a table and chairs to receive guests."

After searching the yard, it didn't take long for the boss to find what he was looking for:
It was a simple grave mound made of stones, soil and small wooden boards.

There's not even a name written on the wooden board; it just stands there all alone.

However, the area around the small grave is clean. The weeds have been cleared away, leaving a large flat area, which shows how attentive the owner who once lived here was.

Looking at the grave in front of him, the boss fell into silence, and sighed after a long time:
"Old man, long time no see. I thought that someone as capable as you would not be harmed even if you were struck by a sword from the future. You would eventually find a way to revive after spending more time. I didn't expect that you would still be lying here."

He stretched out his hand, as if trying to touch the grave, but immediately, a blinding white light flashed above the grave, and a puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the boss's fingertips.

The fingertips of his completely blackened palms had been cut off, and they were twisting and climbing like liquid.

“Haha, there is such a method in the Sealing Formation. I’m afraid it’s something your master left behind.”

With a sigh, his palm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"Back then you said that what I did was unjust, but after so much time, I am still living freely in this world, while you are lying in the grave with your head and body separated. Why did you do that?"

"Your master didn't want to come down the mountain, so he wanted to fight the Buddha alone. I have already advised you against this, but you still refused to change your mind. Now you have lost your head. I wonder if you can close your eyes in the afterlife."

The eldest brother put his hands into his bosom, rummaged through his seemingly smooth black robe, and took out a wine gourd. He turned over and sat next to the grave, and also placed the iron mace on the ground:

"When I was young, I went out to travel. I was poor and couldn't afford to drink wine. I was craving for this, so I sneaked behind someone's winery and drank three big gulps of the wine that hadn't been brewed yet. I ended up getting drunk and almost fell into the wine jar and drowned.

"Later, when I became successful and capable, people around me welcomed me with respect, treated me to delicious food and drinks, and even beautiful women came to me. I also tasted a lot of good wine, but I felt that it would not taste good without a bit of sourness, so I sent someone to look for other people's wine lees.

"This cup of wine is also for you. Don't complain that this wine doesn't taste good down there."

After saying this, he poured the wine in the wine gourd in front of the grave and watched the wine seep into the soil bit by bit, soaking the ground.

After finishing all this, the eldest brother stood up and said to the grave with a smile:

“You often say that your master is unrivaled in the world and is the best True Lord. Even our fellow Daoist Sanjue said that he was the best in the past and present. Only a few top True Lords who have already escaped can fight him. As a result, you want me to fight him now. It’s really difficult for me.

"Old man, you just drank my wine, so you should give me some help, right?"

He stretched out his hand again and touched the tombstone again.

The formation beside the tombstone lit up again, but the poured wine turned into darkness and climbed over this layer of protection in the blink of an eye.

When the boss's palm touched the formation, smoke billowed out of his wrist again, but this time, it failed to stop him.

His palm pressed on the ordinary formation.

In just one second, the boss's hand was ejected.

His face was pale and he was breathing heavily, but there was joy in his eyes.

got it!
Remaining thoughts!
The people in the grave are already dead, there is no possibility of resurrection.

But a person with such Taoism will definitely leave something behind even if he dies.

"Old fellow, I can now use my magic, and I have my wife by my side, and I have the Three Awakenings. I should be able to use your thoughts to confuse his mind. What a wonderful hand! I am at the card table, and I have already won 90% of the victory!

"Just wait, I will send him down to keep you company soon!"

The boss turned and left, leaving only the grave quietly there.

It was like an old man who was watching coldly from the sidelines, staring at the boss's back and watching him go away.

It's like laughing at someone in the rain for overestimating their own abilities.
