Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 517 The Old Demon's Methods

How strong is Plum Blossom Taoist? ?

Xiao Ran didn’t know, but he was definitely much stronger than those third-rate gods like the Locust God.

With this trump card, Xiao Ran instantly felt more confident.

"Fellow Daoist, there is one more thing I would like to ask you."

Xiao Ran put away the three things and asked again.

"But there's no harm in talking."

"What exactly is the Lost City now?"

Since Taoist Meihua knew the identity of the Yin-Yang Inspector, he must know something about the Lost City. Xiao Ran wanted to hear what this great man thought about the Lost City.

After hearing Xiao Ran's question, Plum Blossom Taoist thought for a while and shook his head, saying, "It's hard for me to explain this question, as it may easily lead to some consequences. However, for all living beings, this is an opportunity to transcend. If you seize the opportunity, you will be able to leap over the dragon gate. If you fail to seize the opportunity, it will be a disaster."

Xiao Ran asked: "What does it mean to seize an opportunity? Do I?"

"you……"

Taoist Meihua looked at Xiao Ran, examined him, and shook his head, "Not really."

"I don't count yet??"

Xiao Ran pointed at his nose. He found it hard to understand. If he was not considered a person who seized the opportunity, then what kind of person was considered a person who seized the opportunity?

To be honest, although he had a lot of troubles along the way, he finally had a smooth journey. Not to mention, he inherited the magic skills of the four small Yin sects of Taoist Plum Blossom. Just the property on Guling Street was enough for him to leave most of the beginners behind.

Moreover, if his plan goes well, once the shop of Amazing Pavilion is opened, he will have the capital to be promoted to the fourth largest force.

At that time, the endless supply of resources will ensure that your future path to advancement is smooth.

If this is not considered a chance, then aren't the others destined to be a bunch of idiots???
Facing Xiao Ran's doubts, Plum Blossom Taoist shook his head and said, "Everything has its limits. How much you gain is how much you are destined to lose. You have inherited my path, but you must also bear my responsibilities and inherit my debts. To put it bluntly, it is my debts that made you successful."

These words sounded harsh, but after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ran was speechless.

It seems to be true. If it weren't for the Plum Blossom Taoist, there would probably not be one method passed on to four gates, and there would be no four small Yin gates.

Without the cause and effect of Plum Blossom Taoist, I believe that the big monk in Fengdu City and the old man who claims to be the best man under Youshan Mountain will not take good care of me.

He would never allow himself to become the Yin-Yang Inspector.

The reason they helped me like this was simply because they were afraid that I didn't have the ability to repay the debt owed to Plum Blossom Taoist.

It's like you inherited a debt of hundreds of millions from a bank. Not only will the bank not make things difficult for you, it will even introduce you to some resources from time to time to help you make money, for fear that you will lose the ability to make money and turn this debt into a bad debt.

Seeing that he remained silent, Plum Blossom Taoist continued, "Besides that, you have another fatal injury."

"What?" Xiao Ran looked up at Plum Blossom Taoist.

Taoist Meihua stared at Xiao Ran, his eyes seemed to penetrate Xiao Ran's soul. He opened his mouth and said with a sigh: "Your life... is too bitter."

"That sentence again??"

Xiao Ran has heard people say that he has a bad life more than once. The last time he heard this was when Old Demon evaluated him in this way.

But I don’t think my life is that hard.

However, what Taoist Meihua said made Xiao Ran suddenly think of something else.

It was the old demon who said that he had a bad fate, and then he picked out a plum blossom from the cage of fate. At that time, he said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and he didn't care.

(The old demon intervenes in Chapter 310, and the first mention of Plum Blossom Taoist is in Chapter 361. If you can’t remember, you can turn back.)
Now that I think about it, it was after that trip to the underworld that I started to think about collecting the abilities of the other three sects. For this purpose, I found the bald old man to ask about it. It was precisely during this inquiry that the bald old man talked to me about the Plum Blossom Taoist.

It seemed that from that time on, my trajectory began to move closer to that of Plum Blossom Taoist without me realizing it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt a shock in his heart.

It seemed like I figured out a lot of problems at once.

The reason why I am where I am today is because the old demon intervened and helped me.

So what if I have a hard life? After I go back, I will immediately prepare to advance to the C-level profession [Smuggler]. Then I can defy fate and change my destiny.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's getting late, you should go back. When you get out, just stick the gold paper on my coffin. If there's nothing important to do..." Taoist Meihua looked at Xiao Ran. "I will never disturb you from your meditation."

Xiao Ran was tactful enough to help Plum Blossom Taoist finish the remaining half of the sentence.

This made Meihua Taoist very satisfied. He threw the cup in his hand casually, and the cup rolled on the table. A black shadow rolled out of it, and rolled from the table to the ground. The shadow was dizzy and could not even stand steadily.

This was Liumu who was thrown into the cup by the Plum Blossom Taoist. This guy was also unlucky. Xiao Ran had been chatting with the Plum Blossom Taoist for so long outside. He was trapped in the cup and felt dizzy. After waiting for Liumu to catch his breath, the Plum Blossom Taoist swung his sleeves and said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off!"

Soon after, Xiao Ran and Liu Mu felt a gust of wind blowing in front of them, blowing them up. Then, they felt a strong sense of stepping on air, which made them nervous. After they suddenly opened their eyes, they found that they had returned to the coffin.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, feeling as if they had been in there for a long time. But after coming out, it seemed like it was very fast, just a blink of an eye, as if it was a dream.

Looking back at the coffin at my feet, many thoughts arose in my mind.

The only difference is that Xiao Ran was horrified by the methods of the Plum Blossom Taoist. It is said that the end of magic is just a trick, so could the Plum Blossom Taoist he just met be a trick himself?

If everything is an illusion, how can I explain these three things in my hand? ?

Xiao Ran looked down at the three things that Plum Blossom Taoist had given him in his arms. He was a little confused for a moment and couldn't help but think of what Plum Blossom Taoist had said.

True is also false and false is also true.

"It seems that, just as he said, if I can't cultivate the soul cultivation technique to the rebirth stage, I'm afraid I won't be able to distinguish the true from the false."

Liumu, who was standing aside, was filled with fear and terror. Everything he had just seen, as well as the methods used by Taoist Meihua, made even he, a demon king, feel terrified.

This kind of method is not something that a third-rate demon king like him can understand. He thought, "No wonder, this guy broke his promise, but the Hades didn't intend to break up with him. This kind of method is beyond the Five Elements and is not within the Three Realms. But... does the magic really have such a method? Why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

Liumu thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

He was also unlucky, being trapped in the cup and not hearing the conversation between Xiao Ran and Plum Blossom Taoist, otherwise he would have seen through the cleverness by now.

Of course, even if he wanted to listen, Plum Blossom Taoist would just find another way to throw him aside. After all, the Dharma cannot be passed on to six ears, let alone you with six eyes.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down. He put the scroll and golden book in his hands into the space, leaving only the bell.

"jingle!!"

The bell rang, and the spirit demons surrounding the coffin immediately retreated as if they had received some order, turned around and sank into the underworld again.

"Hey, this is also possible??"

Liumu stared with eyes wide open, feeling unbelievable. You know, the Spirit Demon is well-known for having a negative IQ in the Netherworld, second only to idiots like the Flying Head Barbarian. It should be impossible to tame it. Yet, at this moment, it was easily controlled by a bell, which really made Liumu drop his jaw.

He immediately came up to Xiao Ran and stared at the bell in Xiao Ran's hand curiously.

"If you want to see it, I'll show it to you."

Xiao Ran generously handed the bell to Liumu and asked him to look at it carefully. He then took out a jade box and took out the gold paper that the monk and the others had given him, which was what Liumu called the pardon from the underworld. According to Taoist Meihua's words, he pasted it on the coffin.

After making sure there were no accidents, Xiao Ran turned around and took back the bell from Liumu's hand, which was still warm: "Did you see anything?"

"No, it's just an ordinary bell."

Liumu's face was full of confusion. It was indeed an ordinary bell. He had looked at it carefully twice just now. There was copper rust on the bell. It was obviously a bell picked up from somewhere. It couldn't be more ordinary.

“So you don’t understand.”

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at Liumu. In fact, the problem was not with the bell at all. The end of the magic was also a decoy. This bell was just a decoy.

Xiao Ran speculated that the bell was an ordinary bell. The reason why it was able to control the Spirit Demon was probably because Taoist Meihua had reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Spirit Demon long ago.

This is a fantasy to others. The spirit demon doesn't care who you are. As long as it sees a living thing, even if it is a ghost, it will regard it as food.

Even the ghost kings in the underworld had tried to do it, but all ended in failure.

But just because others can't do it doesn't mean no one can do it.

Don't forget that Meihua Taoist is a person who can change the nature of his soul. He can completely transform into the appearance of a spirit demon and communicate with these spirit demons. For him, this kind of thing is just a matter of thought.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Ran waved his hand and took away the Yin De Umbrella hanging above the two people's heads. There were 130,000 Yin De on it, but now there were only a little over 100,000 left. It can be seen how powerful these spiritual demons are.

He put the six eyes directly into the [Ghost Soldier Gourd] and took out the [Flying Locust Claw]. He shot it through the seal with his backhand and hooked onto a corner of the Tower of Babel above. Then he used the force to leap out, and like a clever monkey, he quickly got out of the seal...
