The road is vague

Chapter 191: Bamboo Rat Demon Huang Tong (Part )
There was a squeak.

The door of the underground palace was slowly pushed open.

The figure sitting on top of the strange seven-cornered altar noticed something. It slowly turned its head, and its pair of green eyes looked over here, seeing the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets that broke into the underground palace.

This seven-sided altar has a unique beauty of twisted asymmetry.

The figure sitting on the altar was more than ten feet tall and was actually a giant rat that had cultivated into a spirit.

It slowly put away the book in its hand and stood up on top of the altar.

"puppet?"

The mouse swung its long tail to the bottom of the altar, and the children, who were surrounded by layers of spiritual light, suddenly stopped crying and fell asleep one after another.

This tail also has the function of influencing divine thoughts.

"The guest behind this door must be a cultivator from the Great Qian Nation. Please allow me to solemnly introduce myself. I am Huang Tong, a bamboo rat spirit who has been cultivating here for a hundred years. I have no ill intentions and simply wish to exchange some Taoist teachings with you. I wonder if you are willing to fulfill this small wish of mine?"

the other side.

Li Mo stood behind the door in a hidden form.

After hearing the bamboo rat spirit's self-introduction, he couldn't help but think of the piece of thousand-year-old spiritual bamboo he had just put away.

Faced with the invitation of the bamboo rat spirit, he did not act rashly. Instead, he leaned back and hid far away.

He was still unable to confirm the other party's cultivation level and strength, and his magic power had been consumed in the previous battle, so he naturally had to be cautious.

However, when he saw this so-called underground palace, he was stunned.

This is clearly the remains of an ancient city!

In the vast underground rock space about forty to fifty feet high, a corner of the majestic ancient city wall suddenly appeared, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

Every brick and stone is engraved with intricate runes.

These runes looked like neither silver tadpole script nor seal script, but a kind of mysterious runes that Li Mo had never encountered before, buried so abruptly in the underground rock strata.

Other areas of the city seemed to have been wiped out by some unknown force and disappeared mysteriously.

Dozens of intact buildings are distributed in a complex manner.

These buildings are completely different from the style of today's Daqian Kingdom with its high steps, pointed roofs, and solemn symmetrical beauty.

Every building here exudes a solid, reliable and practical aesthetic of war violence. Every brick and stone bears the traces of uneven textures left by workers chopping with knives and axes during the stone quarrying process. Later, when the rune master carved unknown runes, he perfectly combined these textures to form an architectural style that is grand, casual, rough and heroic.

Li Mo took a deep breath.

Although he had never seen the real ancient buildings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had learned some about them from books. Especially after he defeated the Hidden Dragon Organization, his understanding of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more in-depth.

This dynasty was established at the end of the Middle Ages, which is about 5,000 years ago.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had a very short lifespan, lasting only about five or six hundred years in total.

But it has created a glory that is unimaginable for the monks of various human countries today.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was probably the first country of the human race in the Shanhai Realm. In the ancient Shanhai Realm, there was no concept of a country.

The Great Zhou Dynasty at that time almost unified the Central Plains and experienced wars in the late Middle Ages, which eventually led to great changes in the entire mountain and sea world, forming the current Dharma Ending Age.

According to the bamboo rat spirit named Huang Tong, it was because the cultivators of that era used the so-called Seven-Star Zhoutian Altar to sacrifice the witch clan of the Seven-Star World, and directly communicated with the order of heaven and earth through their bloodline talents, thus creating the current Dharma Ending Age.

"The current Dharma Ending Age was actually created by ancient cultivators?"

Li Mo frowned.

He had a vague feeling that he was about to face the secret of heaven again, so he quickly stopped his wild thoughts.

As for the war that affected the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, no one has been able to give an accurate definition so far. It seems that the top leaders of various countries are deliberately hiding this information, just like Li Mo facing the taboos of heaven.

The cultivators in the Earth Realm only knew that after this war, the ancient sects and ancient cultivators all disappeared in a short period of time, leaving only a few ruins in the Mountain and Sea Realm as research clues.

Subsequent cultivators learned about the glory of the ancient mountain and sea world through the so-called golden tadpole characters, immortal roots, wild beasts, ethereal demons, underworld ghosts, Shura demons and other spiritual beings from other worlds.

now.

The bamboo rat spirit named Huang Tong had shrunk a lot, becoming only as tall as a man. He wore a Taoist robe embroidered with green bamboo and stood with his hands behind his back.

Unfortunately, Li Mo is not an explorer.

He knew clearly that the two sides were already fighting to the death.

Besides, there were more than a dozen delicate children lying under the so-called Seven-Star Zhoutian Altar. He didn't think there was anything to talk about between the two sides, and he didn't want to expose himself.

Huang Tong saw that Li Mo had not shown up yet, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

"I told my father a long time ago that he should learn more about human wisdom. Unfortunately, his wild nature has not subsided. He cultivates those spiritual bamboos every day, either for food or to reward believers. He never uses them to study puppetry. What a waste of natural resources."

It looked at the matrix puppet, sighed and shook its head.

It actually expressed its disappointment in its father's failure to live up to his expectations.

"Father, oh father, the order of the world in the current Shanhai Realm is still dominated by the human race. You still have your wild nature, how can you comprehend the great Dao?"

Li Mo, who was standing behind the door, felt goosebumps all over his body as he listened to the other party's words.

In his stereotype, monsters are a group of strong and talented but simple-minded guys. Even if they are cunning and scheming, they do not have the spiritual enlightenment and cannot cultivate their minds.

But when he faced this demon rat, his worldview was greatly impacted.

An idea came into his mind.

That means we must get rid of this monster!

Otherwise it will become a big problem in the future.

Think of this.

The surface of the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppet flickered with spiritual light as it walked forward step by step. Every step it took created a huge oppressive force on the surrounding atmosphere.

Seeing this, Huang Tong knew Li Mo's choice.

After a brief disappointment, it actually smiled lightly and was quite confident in itself.

"I have been cultivating the Dao here for so many years. I wanted to exchange some insights with you humans before leaving. Although I practice the Dao of the King of Beasts, I am also very interested in the Dao of the Primates of your Great Qian Nation. Unfortunately, you are a puppeteer hiding in the dark, and it is difficult for you to fulfill my last wish."

Say it.

Huang Tong waved his hand lightly, and it actually summoned a set of eighteen flying sword magic weapons!

Li Mo, who was hiding in the dark, was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.

The opponent was a monster, but it gave him the feeling that he was facing a true disciple of a holy land in a fairy mountain.

These flying swords actually formed layers of sword light, which was the sword shadow splitting technique of the Wanjian Sect!
Seeing this, Li Mo immediately controlled the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet to punch forward. After the spiritual light exploded, although some sword lights were dispersed, the number of sword lights was too large, and even the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet could not destroy them all at once.

As a large number of sword lights attacked, the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet took a defensive posture. Intensive metal friction sounds came around it, and a large number of sword marks were formed, but compared with the huge size of the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet, these sword marks were harmless.

"Huh?" Huang Tong was shocked by the matrix puppet's powerful survivability.

"That's quite interesting. Your puppetry skills don't seem to be the craftsmanship of the Puppet Sect, nor does it seem to be the inheritance of the Spirit Eye Sect. Could it be the secret technique of the Lu State's Regeneration Sect?"

After the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppet took a step forward, it disappeared from Huang Tong's eyes.

Seeing this, the demon rat was stunned.

Immediately behind the demon rat, space ripples flashed, and a huge figure suddenly emerged. It was the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets that performed the space escape technique.

A huge shadow enveloped Huang Tong on the Seven Star Zhoutian Altar, and then it stretched out its huge right hand and slapped it downwards.

Boom!
The yellow-clothed demon rat flew seven or eight feet away in an instant, and its feet slipped and left a ditch inside.

Li Mo ensured the safety of the hostages and decided to kill them, so he controlled the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet to jump down and continue to chase the demon rat. However, Huang Tong seemed to be fine. Before the attack of the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet came, his figure quickly merged into the soil and disappeared. He suddenly used the earth escape technique and appeared more than ten feet away.

It pointed its finger casually, and a large number of flying swords shot out, submerging the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets again.

After doing this, Huang Tong touched the corner of his mouth, revealing a painful expression with his teeth bared, but it was not angry at all. Instead, it looked as if it had found a treasure.

"It's actually a puppet that possesses the ability to escape through space."

Its eyes were full of desire and some regret.

"What a pity! What a pity! My time for cultivation is still too short. There are so many secrets of cultivation techniques in the world waiting for my enlightenment."

Seeing the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets display the secret of space again, this time it locked onto Huang Tong in reverse, generating an amazing suction force, trying to suck it in front of itself.

Huang Tong, whose body was flying in the air involuntarily, suddenly smiled softly.

Then it turned into a talisman, which was smashed into pieces by a punch from the Liu Ding Liu Jia Matrix Puppet. The main body appeared several feet away as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, and looked at the Liu Ding Liu Jia Matrix Puppet with eyes full of admiration.

"The substitute talisman of Tianfu Sect?"

This is the magic that Zhu Wei has not been able to master and has always been thinking about!

The terrifying degree of this demon rat is probably no less than the devil who hid in Bai'an City.

The only good news is that the cultivation level of this demon rat seems to have just broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

"We can't let it leave here!"

Li Mo muttered softly, his eyes showing determination. Compared to five years ago, he has changed drastically and is no longer the junior brother who can only serve as an auxiliary.

After the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets fought with the yellow-clothed demon rat for a cup of tea, Li Mo began to feel confused again.

Why hasn't Jiang Feiyan come to support yet?

Could something unexpected have happened again?
At this time.

Huang Tong, who had been fighting with the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppets for a long time, let out a loud shout and used the magic of the Xuanbing Sect to temporarily freeze the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppets.

Then it jumped up, its figure floating in the air, and eighteen flying swords appeared around it.

"This is!!"

Li Mo's breathing stagnated and his eyes showed disbelief.

As Huang Tong continued to tap the flying swords around him, these flying swords shot in different directions, faintly reflecting the mysterious laws of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the sun, moon and stars. The spiritual power of each other merged, reflecting dozens of sword lights, writing a completely different domain order.

Li Mo hid behind the door and counted with his fingers, his inner shock was beyond words.

"The Taixuan Sword Formation of the Wanjian Sect?"

The decline of the Wanjian Sect also stems from the decline of high-level cultivators. It has been many years since a brilliant and talented leader has appeared.

The main practice of this sect is sword-forging and enlightenment.

By constantly forging swords, he tried to comprehend the so-called great magical power of the Taixuan Sword Formation.

But it's a pity.

For hundreds of years, the Wanjian Sect has not produced a Nascent Soul cultivator who can perform sword formation magic.

Currently, in the entire Wanjian Sect, the cultivators who can display this magical power are not yet at the level of the Two-handed Technique. Their cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage. They only have comprehension but no talent.

Even if the entire sect were to unite their forces, they would still be unable to find someone who could shoulder the heavy responsibility and turn the tide.

That's why.

During the original exchange meeting, the East and West factions of Daqian Kingdom sat together. Lingmu Sect and Wanjian Sect were the least respected sects on both sides. He and Wan Shun of Wanjian Sect could only smile at each other helplessly.

As the Taixuan Sword Formation took shape, dense sword lights completely submerged the Liuding Liujia matrix puppets.

The Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets were unable to display the secrets of space in the sword formation. This was obviously because the power of the formation had rewritten the order of the domain and suppressed the spatial power of the matrix puppets. They could only rely on their strong physique and abundant spiritual light for passive defense.

Li Mo, who was hiding behind the door, could no longer conceal his murderous intent when he saw this.

"evildoer!"

After he made this comment, a faint spatial ripple was heard from behind the door.

As Li Mo used the Piaomiao Transformation Technique to summon an external incarnation, a true demon clone that was seven points similar to him appeared.

The original true devil's Taoism has the ability to integrate various conflicting, contradictory and opposing natures.

This true demon clone took five years to barely merge the swords of the Piaomiao Taoist school and the evil Tianji Taoist school. Although it can only exert about 70% of the strength of the complete form and it will take another two or three years to completely merge, its potential is far greater than before, and its strength is comparable to that of the demon in his heyday.

"give it to me."

The true demon clone stood in front of the gate, his gray-white eyes looking coldly at Huang Tong who was performing the sword formation.

The Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets were defending in the sword formation in a turtle-like posture. As long as the spiritual power of the thirty-six medium-grade spirit stones was not exhausted, the opponent's foundation-building cultivation alone would naturally not be able to destroy the Six Ding and Six Jia matrix puppets in a defensive state in a short period of time.

Huang Tong noticed the true demon's clone.

When it turned its head to look at the pair of gray-white eyes outside the door, its green eyes actually lit up slightly.

"Your aura seems to be somewhat similar to the aura of the Shura Demon's blood required to create the Shura Demon Statue of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is also different. The world is so vast and full of wonders."

The true demon clone did not respond to the demon rat.

He twisted his neck, and the joints made a cracking sound. Then his body swelled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a ten-foot-tall demon. He calmly stretched out his right hand and suddenly pulled out a bloody spine from behind.

The true demon clone opened and closed the spine in a terrifying and exaggerated manner. After gently shaking it, it made an air explosion with a bang, and then a pitch-black flame ignited on it.

After doing all this.

The true demon's clone's gray-white eyes revealed a hint of excitement, brutality, and ferocity as he strode into the underground palace.

Dozens of feet away.

The smile on Huang Tong's face gradually faded.

It no longer had its previous calmness and composure, and showed an unprecedented solemnity.
