I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 193 The Secret of Mount Buzhou

When Tiger Third heard Li Qingyun's question, he was silent for a moment before he slowly said:

"To be honest, Master, I am a demon slave. I know very little about the secrets of Mount Buzhou. Moreover, I have been a stone statue for too long, and most of my memories have long been blurred. I am afraid I can't help you."

Li Qingyun waved his hand casually:

"It's okay. Tell me what you remember."

Tiger Lao San raised his head slightly and replied in a deep voice:

“In ancient times, Mount Buzhou was once a common habitat for demons, monsters, and gods, and was ruled by three powerful beings.

“They respectively rule the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the Infinite Divine Realm.

“In ancient times, this place was a holy place for cultivation. Countless powerful gods, demons, and devils built caves here, and the treasures sealed in them were countless.

"The three major forces on Mount Buzhou each control information about some of the entrances. Those entrances lead to the caves of ancient masters, which contain indescribable power. Once triggered, the person will die at best, or lose control and turn into a terrifying monster.

"Only by gaining the approval of three powerful men at the same time and collecting three volumes of heavenly books can one truly control the entire Buzhou Mountain, suppress all seals with the power of the sacred mountain, and travel freely in all the caves. Otherwise, even a god is likely to perish during the exploration."

After hearing this, Li Qingyun gradually understood the whole picture of Mount Buzhou.

It turns out that there were three previous owners of Mount Buzhou, and there were also three volumes of the Heavenly Book, but he only got one of them, and gained the right to dominate the "Palace of Ten Thousand Demons".

No wonder Mount Buzhou was not fully open to him. It turned out that he had not yet obtained full authority.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that he was cautious enough. After comprehending the Heavenly Book and obtaining permission to enter Mount Buzhou, he did not rashly explore deeper. Otherwise, he would have died without knowing how.

"Who was the former owner of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and what was his honorific name?"

Li Qingyun continued to ask.

Tiger Lao San shook his head, his face full of helplessness:
"I have no memory of my previous master.

"Perhaps it is because it has been turned into a stone statue for too long and its memory has long disappeared, or perhaps the previous owner abandoned the Ten Thousand Demons Palace and caused the relevant memory to be erased. In any case, I really don't remember His honorable name.

“But I believe that he can jointly control Mount Buzhou with the other two strong men and make all the gods submit. He must be one of the absolute strong men in the ancient times and has the power to intimidate the true gods.”

Li Qingyun nodded slightly, agreeing with Hu Laosan's statement.

Although the ancient secrets related to Mount Buzhou and the Heavenly Book are fascinating, they are too far away for his current realm and situation and cannot bring any immediate practical help.

At most, it just satisfied his curiosity to pry into the secrets of the strong, and it was not worth spending more time and energy to explore it in depth.

What's more, the hidden danger is unpredictable, and he doesn't need to take risks now.

What he should really seize is the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. He has already taken control of this place. By killing the demons, he can quickly cultivate a group of powerful followers and greatly enhance his own strength.

This is the most worthwhile goal for him to invest in at this stage.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyun's tone condensed and he asked again:
"Is there any other treasure in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace that I can use?"

Tiger Lao San shook his head, looking respectful and helpless:

"Master is the ruler of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. If there is a treasure, you must have known it long ago. I am just a demon slave and have no right to know these things."

Li Qingyun felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He was obviously the boss here, but at this moment he felt like an outsider. He had to ask his subordinates for advice on everything, which was really embarrassing.

So he waved his hand:
"Okay, go down now. I'll kill the tiger monster and continue feeding you flesh and blood."

Upon hearing this, Tiger Lao San immediately knelt down and kowtowed, with suppressed ecstasy in his voice:
"Thank you Master for the gift!"

After saying this, it retreated into the shadows to the side, stood with its hands hanging down, motionless and silent, as if it had turned into a stone statue in the palace again, hidden in the darkness.

Li Qingyun did some divination but didn't find any rare treasures in the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, so he had to give up.

Then, he took out the flesh and blood of the demon kings and generals he had killed before, and fed them to the stone statues in the palace one by one.

However, unexpectedly, except for Tiger Lao San's fur which was slightly glowing with a dark light, the other stone statues devoured the flesh and blood but had no reaction and remained as silent as dead objects.

As a result, except for the fur of Tiger Lao San becoming slightly brighter, the other stone statues devoured the corresponding monsters without any reaction at all.

"what happened……"

Li Qingyun frowned, feeling confused.

Is it necessary to use the flesh and blood of the demon king to truly wake up these stone statues?
But in this world today, where are there so many demon kings for him to kill?

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If we really want to hunt down the demon kings one by one for these demon slaves, wouldn't we have to massacre the demon clan's nests one by one?

How is this different from suicide...

Unless he enters the Tiangang List and becomes powerful enough to not fear any strong man in the mortal world, if he is really targeted by the "Demon Lord" of the Sixth Realm, it would be tantamount to digging his own grave.

Li Qingyun thought again of the wild boar demon king that he had killed in the bamboo building before.

Unfortunately, there was no magic storage device at that time, so the body of the demon king could not be put away.

But now, Lu Tong's Taoist temple is in a state of collapse and earthquake, and no one knows whether the remains of the demon king are buried underground.

This thought kept circling in his mind, making him unable to find peace.

So his mind moved slightly, and he immediately left Buzhou Mountain and decided to go and check it out in person.

Just as he was about to cast a spell to divine the whereabouts of the demon king's remains, he was suddenly shocked. It turned out that his clone was in trouble again.

Li Qingyun narrowed his eyes, and without bothering to continue divination, he immediately stood up, turned into a wisp of clear air, and quickly rushed towards the direction of his clone "Gao Renan".

……

Feng Yaqin and the others followed Lu Qingfeng's deduction and continued to move slowly towards the exit of the cave.

In the dojo filled with magma all over the ground, there was thick fog condensed from smoke and dust everywhere, and one could feel the intense heat even when breathing.

They are well aware that haste makes waste, so they are not in a rush for success and are cautious along the way, fearing that accidents may happen at any time.

When she was not far from the exit, Feng Yaqin suddenly heard the sound of fighting and shouting coming from the front. She frowned and found that the sound was somewhat familiar. She felt uneasy and immediately rode the sword and flew away.

The sword light cut through the thick fog, and she quickly arrived at the place where the sound came from.

Not far away, the "Five Elders of Liaodong" were being besieged by a large group of ghosts and the situation was critical.

Among the five elders, Master Huang Er and Lady Liu Si were already unconscious, their faces were as pale as paper, and their breathing was weak.

Old Lady Bai and Uncle Hu each held onto the two men's backs, looking nervous, and desperately channeled their magical power to heal them. Beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, and it was obvious that they were extremely exhausted.

Only Uncle Hui was left to protect them, fighting alone against the ghosts coming from all directions.

At this time, all the pressure of the battle fell on Uncle Hui alone.

He had been possessed by a spirit, his face was distorted, his mouth became pointed, his nose was elongated, and a thick layer of gray hair had grown on his face, making him look like a giant gray rat.

The witches and shamans have strange methods, but their bodies are weak and they lack the means to engage in direct combat. They can only overcome this shortcoming by inviting powerful spirits to bless themselves.

After inviting the spirit to possess his body, Uncle Hui's speed and strength increased greatly. He rushed across the battlefield like a whirlwind, dodging and moving around, constantly waving his palms to kill the incoming ghosts.

Every time a palm strike was thrown, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind in the air, and the ghosts were blown away.

At the same time, he continued to release the power of curses, and the ghosts that were hit by the spells immediately went crazy and began to turn against and attack their companions.

But even so, he had just touched the threshold of the fifth realm, and his skills were far less profound than those of his other brothers.

Faced with the ghosts that were rushing towards him from all directions like a tide, Uncle Hui seemed a little overwhelmed. Although he was moving fast, his movements were becoming increasingly stiff and sluggish.

In several dangerous moments, he was almost cut through the defense by the ghost's sharp claws, and his face was as pale as paper.

Fortunately, Old Lady Bai had profound cultivation. Although she was trying her best to heal her companions, she could still distract herself and take action occasionally. She cast a few talismans, forcing back the approaching ghosts, and buying some breathing space for Uncle Hui.

It is because of this that the situation can be barely maintained.

Feng Yaqin hid her figure not far away, looked at the situation in front of her coldly, and felt a little hesitant in her heart.

Although the Five Elders of Liaodong are not upright figures, they have close ties with Longhu Mountain. Old Lady Bai has a close relationship with her mentor Meng Jianfang, so it is reasonable for her to step forward to rescue them.

However, these people had been possessed by evil spirits before and had attempted to break the formation and attack Gao Ren'an while he was comprehending the heavenly book. If it had not been for Master Fu Long to stop them, they would have taken action long ago, and the two sides had thus formed a grudge.

Feng Yaqin was angry at the other party for bullying the weak, and she also didn't know whether the Five Elders of Liaodong would repeat the same tricks and harm her own apprentice after she rescued him this time, so she was hesitant.

However, at this moment, Old Lady Bai's gaze suddenly swept over.

She was a master whose name was on the Earthly Demon List, and she had a very strong spiritual perception. She spotted Feng Yaqin hiding not far away at a glance.

Old Lady Bai immediately shouted loudly, her voice full of urgency:

"Is it my nephew Feng? I have a close relationship with my master. Although we have had our differences, we are now in trouble. Are you really going to stand by and watch us die without helping?"

Feng Yaqin's face changed when she heard that.

Now that her whereabouts had been discovered, standing idly by would damage the reputation of her master's school. She gritted her teeth, unwilling to bear this bad reputation after all. After weighing the matter for a moment, she suddenly changed direction with her sword, turning it into a meteor and charging straight into the group of ghosts.

Wherever the sword light went, ghosts screamed and scattered, and the air was filled with cold wails.

Fengyaqin's sword pointed continuously, the Qionghua Suiying sword's energy was like a rainbow, and countless silver lights intertwined into a net, cutting large tracts of ghosts into pieces.

At this moment, Li Qingyun's clone was also sensed and he activated the "Golden Light Mantra" without hesitation. His body instantly ignited with dazzling golden light, rising like a blazing flame, wrapping his entire body and turning into an indestructible body armor.

His figure flashed like a streak of golden light, rushing towards the center of the battlefield.

The Shenxiao Soul Refining combined with the Golden Light Divine Spell is the nemesis of evil spirits. The ghosts let out sharp hissing under the scorching golden light, as if they were burned by a raging fire, and they all retreated and dared not approach.

Although the two men only had the fourth and third realms of cultivation, the Longhu Mountain martial arts were specifically designed to defeat sneakiness, and they tore a hole in the encirclement in an instant.

The pressure on the five elders of Liaodong suddenly decreased. Uncle Hui pulled himself together, charged left and right, and defeated the ghosts one after another. Finally, they retreated like a tide.

Uncle Hui panted heavily, stopped summoning spirits, and turned back into a short, wretched middle-aged man. He clasped his fists towards Feng Yaqin:

"Thank you Master Feng for your help. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused to you before."

Seeing his sincerity, Feng Yaqin did not criticize him too much, so she returned the favor with the courtesy of the Taoist sect and asked:

"What happened to the seniors? Although there are many ghosts, they are not enough to hurt Master Huang and Madam Liu."

Uncle Hui said bitterly:

"My second brother and fourth sister were injured. It had nothing to do with ghosts. They were attacked by thugs. We can't even protect ourselves now. We hope that Master Wang Feng will put aside the past grudges and help us leave this place because of the long-term friendship between Wuxian Manor and Longhu Mountain."

Feng Yaqin looked embarrassed. Anyone who could hurt the Five Elders of Liaodong must be extremely powerful, even if it was a sneak attack. She couldn't make such a guarantee by herself, even if she had a talented disciple.

So she asked:
"Who launched this brutal sneak attack?"

Most of the team that came to explore Lu Tong Cave this time were upright people in the cultivation world, and they had long-standing dealings with Wuxian Manor. There was no reason for them to suddenly turn against each other.

The only ones who could possibly do such a despicable thing could only be the demon race.

But the third demon king Tiger had already been killed. Although the wild boar demon king and rhino demon king he brought with him were powerful, they were not on the Earthly Evil List, so it was impossible for them to successfully launch a sneak attack under the nose of Old Lady Bai.

Moreover, they all cultivated the horizontal training of demon bodies, relying entirely on brute force. Hidden attacks were not their methods.

Old Lady Bai sighed and replied:
"To be honest, the ones who attacked us were a spiritual practitioner and a demonic Taoist practitioner. They were very cunning and their concealment skills were superb. My second brother and fourth sister were caught off guard and fell into their trap.

“These two men were extremely skilled and cunning. They robbed our spoils and ran away without a trace. We only saw that one of them had a horse face and a big hooked nose, and then they escaped.

"Alas, I am old now, and I am no longer as brave as I used to be."

The five of them came here to hunt for treasure and gained a lot with the help of the map. However, they were all stolen. After working hard for several days, they ended up making things difficult for others.

Feng Yaqin frowned:
"Horse Face... Among the cultivators from various sects who came this time, there is no one like this. Could it be that there is someone else hiding in this cave?"

Thinking of the various changes that had happened before, Feng Yaqin suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She frowned and was about to speak when she heard Gao Renan behind her suddenly ask:
"Grandma Bai, did you see clearly that the man really has a horse face?"
