Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 149 Taotie
The Sui and Tang Dynasties chapters are grand and expressive.

It gave a huge shock and surprise to the adventurers.

And it directly caused a soul-shattering blow to Ran Tianyun who was mixed in with the adventurers!

Why?

Ran Tianyun is new here.

I have no resistance to the secret realm of Miracle City.

Can you withstand being bombarded with such strong material right from the start?
In addition, Ran Tianyun is different from adventurers. As a lord, he understands the difficulty of creating a secret realm better than adventurers. Therefore, he knows better than anyone present how exaggerated and terrifying the value of this scene is!
It feels like my worldview has been turned upside down!

What the hell!
Is this really a secret place?

Can the secret realm be made like this?

The recognized first lord of Blackstone began to doubt his life!

At this moment, I feel like a rookie in Miracle City in front of Qi Ji!
Unable to understand!

This guy's inspiration materials are very special. There are many legendary materials with zero consumption or close to zero consumption. Only in this way can he create such an exaggerated scene.

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!
The opening scene of the Sui and Tang Dynasties chapter was so stunning that it made people admire it from the bottom of their hearts.

Ran Tianyun believed that based on this extremely gorgeous gimmick, even if the subsequent content was made into a pile of feces, it would be feces inlaid with gems and gold, which would make people want to taste it, so it had the potential to become a huge hit.

What's more.

At Qi Ji's level.

How could you possibly make a pile of shit?
Ran Tianyun had to admit that even though he was not an adventurer, even as a lord, he had been deeply attracted and had a strong curiosity about how the story would unfold!
What is the origin of the young man with strange-colored eyes and holding a golden ancient sword?
What kind of existence is the golden ancient sword, and what level has it reached?
Based on experience.

By intuition.

Ran Tianyun speculated that it was fifth-level equipment.

And it’s not ordinary fifth-level equipment.

Most likely it will be a fifth-level rare equipment!
This kind of high-grade material is extremely rare and difficult to develop, but once it is successfully developed in the future, it will surely cause a sensation in the world. Even Ran Tianyun will feel envious. If he has the chance to get it, he is willing to sell everything he has for it!

Don’t wait to think too much.

The story officially begins.

[Sixteen years later, at Fumo Mountain in Yongzhou...]

The secret crystal lights up.

A new picture appeared.

The first thing everyone heard was the melodious singing of birds.

Then a beautiful scene with a strong ink-wash style unfolded before your eyes in a stunning way.

This is a remote mountain forest with few people. In the distance, clouds and mists are flowing among thousands of peaks, and the mountains are like dark green spread on rice paper. In the near distance, the pine forest is like waves and the green grass is lush, and unknown wild flowers are everywhere in the mountains.

A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old appeared in the picture.

He touched his face and body, muttering to himself: "My name is Chen Jingchou, son of Chen Shubao, the last ruler of the Chen Kingdom. I have been ordered by my master to come to Fumo Mountain to meet him..."

"Boss Higanbana, is that you?"

"it's me!"

The red spider lily opened its eyes and discovered.

I turned into this young man and all kinds of memory information came flooding in.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"This must be the protagonist of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"

"Chen Jingchou? The son of the last monarch of the Chen Kingdom?"

"Doesn't that mean he has a deep blood feud with the Sui Dynasty? Just this identity alone makes it seem like there's a lot of story to tell!"

"So, the guy holding the golden ancient sword in the opening scene is our archenemy? Sixteen years have passed, and this guy must be even stronger!"

"..."

Without waiting for the adventurer to discuss.

Suddenly a powerful aura descended in front of him.

This is an old man in his seventies, wearing a yellow-brown Taoist robe, carrying a sword on his back, with white eyebrows and beard, and an immortal look. However, his brows are always furrowed as if he has a deep hatred and resentment, and his eyes are as sharp as knives, giving people a very stern feeling!

"Why so slow?"

Higanbana learned through memory.

This old man is his master Chen Fu.

He was so strict and harsh that Chen Jingchou was instinctively afraid of him and could not help but lower his head when he scolded him.

Chen Fu's tone became increasingly harsh as he reprimanded, "You are always so lazy and unwilling to work hard on your Taoist practice. How can you possibly kill your enemies and shoulder the responsibility of restoring the Great Chen?"

Higanbana didn't know how to answer.

So I just let myself go and follow my will and instinct completely.

She subconsciously said what Chen Jingchou had buried in his heart for many years and wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

"But Master... I've never wanted to be emperor, nor have I thought about restoring the Chen Dynasty. After all, the Chen Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, and I'm afraid the people have already forgotten it. What's the point of us still clinging to restoration?"

"You...you bastard!"

Chen Fu became furious when he heard what Higanbana said. The aura he emitted instantly shook the forest, startled countless birds, and made Higanbana feel tremendous pressure.

"It has been over twenty years since your homeland was destroyed by the Northern Barbarians, and your biological father died heroically trying to restore his country sixteen years ago!"

"Countless loyal officials and righteous men sacrificed their lives to save you. Everyone placed their hopes for national restoration on you. With such irreconcilable national and family hatred against you...how could you utter such outrageous words!"

Intimidated by the master's power.

Only then did the red spider lily come to its senses.

I subconsciously said something I shouldn't have said.

She quickly apologized: "I know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment. Please calm down, Master!"

"Humph, I don't want to hear this kind of bullshit again!"

Chen Fu was clearly still furious. "Today I want to test the results of your practice. If you can't reach the top of the mountain to see me within one stick of incense, you can no longer call me Master!"

"division……"

Chen Fu's whole body flashed with light.

He instantly used the escape technique to leave the place.

This conversation and exchange allowed the adventurer to learn a lot of information.

Mao Mengmeng couldn't help but say, "Why is this stinky old man so fierce? Everyone has the life they want to live. A master can't force his disciples to do something they don't want to do!"

Lihua Yuluo nodded: "Yes, although Chen Jingchou is the prince of Chen State, it seems that he has no intention of restoring his country at all."

"..."

The adventurers didn't have a good first impression of Chen Fu.

After searching her memory, Higanbana said, "This incident cannot be entirely blamed on the old man."

Feng Zhongmian: "Why do you say that?"

The flower said, "Chen Fu was originally a loyal minister of the State of Chen. Sixteen years ago, when the State of Chen was completely destroyed, all his relatives and close friends were slaughtered by the Sui Dynasty. He tried his best to save only his grandson in his cradle..."

"But at the last moment, in order to preserve the only royal bloodline of the Chen Kingdom, he swapped his grandson, whom he had risked his life to save, with the protagonist, saving me in exchange for his life."

"So he not only carried the mission of restoring the country given by Emperor Chen before his death."

"He also has a deep blood feud with the Sui Dynasty!"

"Although he was extremely strict with Chen Jingchou over the past sixteen years, he also spared no effort and spared no expense in training him. He taught him all his Guigu swordsmanship and Taoist magic. He could be said to be like a teacher and a father to him."

"..."

Everyone was moved after hearing this.

Ran Tianyun couldn't help but sigh.

"Given this experience, Chen Fu's harshness is understandable... This man's loyalty to the Chen royal family is truly evident, and he places all his life's meaning and hopes on the protagonist!"

He also felt admiration.

Qi Ji’s secret realm is indeed not simple!
It's only been two minutes since the game started.

He actually used this method to complete the character creation and create contradictions and drama in the plot. Even if we put aside the lord's talent and look at the creation itself and the ability to tell stories... there is still a big gap between me and him!
Higanbana didn't say much.

Check your body and equipment first.

She discovered that he was wearing a sword and an antique copper pot.

[Demon Refining Pot], a secret realm item... Introduction: This item is a national treasure of the Chen Kingdom. The world contained in the pot can accommodate all things in the world, and it can also refine demons for one's own use. It is one of the ten ancient artifacts.

"Good baby!"

"Wow, he's truly worthy of being a prince, having such goodies right from the start!"

Everyone's eyes brightened.

Nancy Liya was shocked. "Is this a storage treasure with almost infinite internal space and the ability to hold living things? Just based on this ability, it is a rare and precious treasure among all the races in the Chaos World!"

If this thing could explode!
The word priceless is not enough to describe it!
Higanbana was surprised and said, "Although this body is only sixteen or seventeen years old, it already has the strength of a second-level five-star!"

"what?"

"Second level five stars?"

"If this strength were placed in Ashina Country, he would already be a top-tier expert!"

"Haha, if he were in Ashina Country, he would definitely be a rare and powerful person, at least on the level of Onigyobu or Phantom Butterfly. Don't forget that this is the land of Shenzhou!"

"Yes!"

"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in China!"

"I think this level of strength is at most considered an expert, not a strong one!"

"..."

Not only did Chen Jingchou have a high level of cultivation, he had also practiced Guigu Swordsmanship and Guigu Taoism, possessing more than a dozen magical techniques. However, he was usually lazy, so he was not proficient in most of them.

"This is the situation!"

"Wow, even though it's just the beginning, I'm so excited!"

The protagonist of the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter is an orphan of the Chen Kingdom, so he is naturally full of plot tension and drama. Adventurers are all looking forward to what kind of legendary story he will perform in this chapter!
"Without further ado!"

"I have to get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, the mission may fail and the plot may be lost!"

During the climbing process of Higanbana, it was discovered that in the mountains and forests of this world, all kinds of mountain spirits and monsters can be seen everywhere. Once ordinary people mistakenly enter the forest, there is almost no possibility of survival.

In the forests of Fumo Mountain.

There are two most common monsters.

One of them is called "Qianluzi", which is a shriveled and ferocious mummy. It is the transformed form of a person who died suddenly and for no reason. It is one of the most common zombies.

Another type is called "Green Ghost". It is a child with a dark blue body and wearing a green bellyband. It is a young child who died of illness. It not only sucks people's essence, but also spreads diseases.

The ranks of both monsters are not high.

Only first-level four or five stars.

Naturally, it can't threaten the adventurer Higanbana.

The Time Traveler commented, "These monsters show that the times in China are not good. Even in the deep mountains, people who have died suddenly and children who have died of illness can be seen everywhere."

"That's weird."

"The Great Sui Dynasty has only been established for sixteen years, and it has such overwhelming strength. It shouldn't have ended up like this!"

"There must be some other reason!"

"..."

During the process of hunting monsters.

Higanbana suddenly had an idea and activated the Demon Refining Pot.

As a result, he was immediately surprised to find that as long as he beat the monster half to death, he could put it directly into the pot.

After collecting these mountain spirits and wild monsters into the pot, adventurers can choose to refine them, thereby absorbing the essence of the wild monsters to improve their cultivation, or they can control these monsters through refining.

"What a good baby!"

Although Higanbana was very curious about the specific usage of the Demon Refining Pot.

However, time is running out at this point, so we should hurry up and get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.

There is an ancient cave on the top of this mountain.

Master Chen Fu stood on the cliff face in front of the cave. Looking out from here, the vast forest stretched out like a boundless green wave, and the distant mountains appeared and disappeared like dark eyebrows.

The scenery here is as magnificent as that of Ashina Province. Perhaps because there has been plenty of mist recently, it has a unique charm of ink painting.

"Master, Master, I'm here!"

Higanbana rushed to Chen Fu with a happy face.

Chen Fu's face immediately turned serious and he rebuked, "Master, I've told you countless times that those who accomplish great things must not show their emotions. Why should you be so happy about such a small matter?"

Higanbana lowered its head again, feeling a little depressed.

Seeing him like this, Chen Fu felt sorry for him: "Don't blame Master for being too strict. It's just that after going through that battle sixteen years ago, I really..."

The red spider lily knows.

This incident left a lifelong psychological shadow on Chen Fu.

She asked curiously: "What happened sixteen years ago?"

Chen Fu sighed and said, "Back then, your father, as your teacher, painstakingly prepared for several years in Jiangnan, gathering tens of thousands of troops to revive the Great Chen... When the Northern Barbarian King learned of this, he immediately sent troops south, led by none other than Yang Su, the man who had once destroyed the Great Chen!"

The adventurer understood.

It's the battle in the opening scene.

Chen Fu continued, "On the day of the decisive battle, the late emperor learned that his opponent was Yang Su. Naturally, he dared not be careless and sent all his elite troops into battle... Unexpectedly, Yang Su was dressed in plain clothes and only brought less than a hundred cavalrymen!"

Higanbana asked knowingly, "Less than a hundred riders? How could Dad lose?"

"That's why I studied Guigu Dao for over ten years and why I strictly required you to practice it as well!"

Chen Fu remembered something.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes:
"The one who defeated the army that day was not that old man Yang Su, but one of his disciples, Yang Tuo, who possessed the Yin-Yang pupils..."

"What's even more chilling is that this battle was a stepping stone specially prepared by Yang Su for his disciple, with the sole purpose of allowing Yang Tuo to seize this opportunity to become famous and inherit his legacy."

"Sixteen years have passed."

"The old villain Yang Su has passed away."

"If Yang Tuo were still alive, he would be even more terrifying than before. He would become the biggest obstacle to the revival of the Great Chen Dynasty and your greatest enemy in this life, Chen Jingchou!"

When hearing this.

Adventurers all felt deeply pressured.

"This person is so terrifying. With my current strength, how could I possibly..."

"Don't worry, I've figured out a solution. According to ancient texts, Shenzhou has had ten sacred artifacts since ancient times. They are the bell, sword, axe, pot, pagoda, zither, tripod, seal, mirror, and stone."

"The reason why Yang Tuo is so formidable is largely due to the fact that he has obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, the most powerful of the ten divine weapons. This sword can harness the power of heaven and earth to destroy everything!"

"According to ancient records, one only needs to collect 'qin, tripod, seal, mirror, and stone'."

"You can become the supreme being on earth and rule the world!"

Adventurers are all very curious.

"Top Ten Artifacts?"

Baihe Jushi said, "Because according to the illustration of the Demon Refining Pot on Chen Jingchou's body, this item is one of the ten divine tools, and we have already seen its effects and functions. It is indeed a rare treasure in the world!"

Feng Zhongmian: "The Xuanyuan Sword must be the golden ancient sword that defeated the Chen army in the opening scene!"

Nancy Liya couldn't believe it: "There are actually eight such treasures?"

All of a sudden.

All adventurers were amazed.

Is this the heritage of China?
Higanbana: "As long as we can collect five artifacts, we can immediately recover Dachen... Is it really that magical?"

Chen Fu said, "Yes, the reason why I brought you to Fumo Mountain today is because the Kunlun Ancient Mirror, one of the ten ancient artifacts, is in this cave."

At this time.

Suddenly, there was a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth.

The sun was rapidly being devoured.

The entire sky and the earth were blood red.

All living things seemed to be soaked in blood.

Higanbana was shocked: "What happened?"

The adventurers had never seen such a strange and unusual celestial phenomenon.

Chen Fu said, "It's just a solar eclipse. What's the big deal?"

Near the eclipse wheel.

Another vision appeared.

A red comet with a long tail.

It seems to be tearing the sky in half!

It makes people feel extremely ominous and uneasy.

"The appearance of the red demon star is a sign of chaos and the demise of the Sui family!"

Chen Fu was not surprised but delighted: "This is a bad omen for the world, but it is a great omen for you. It seems that our Great Chen is not far from restoration!"

"Don't waste time! Enter the cave and retrieve the mirror immediately!"

"Yes!"

Higanbana followed her master into the cave.

Sure enough, they found an ancient bronze mirror wrapped in ice.

"According to ancient records, the Kunlun Ancient Mirror is extremely cold and requires the use of the most yang energy to dispel the cold before it can be handled!"

Chen Fu cast a spell while speaking.

Use a ball of blazing real fire to melt the ice.

"That's all. Please keep this mirror. I'll look through the ancient books and tell you what to do next."

The voice just fell.

There is no time to take the mirror.

An extremely terrifying pressure was released from the ancient mirror.

Higanbana and Chen Fu were caught off guard and were both pushed back dozens of meters by the terrifying aura.

This breath was like a mountain torrent, covering the entire cave in almost an instant, making Higanbana feel as if it was being dragged into the seabed a thousand meters deep, with an unimaginable sense of oppression squeezing its body from all directions.

A ferocious shadow.

Appeared in the middle of the cave and gradually condensed.

All the pressure and creepy aura came from here.

This thing was originally sealed inside an ancient mirror, but now, thanks to the actions of the master and apprentice, and perhaps due to the combined effects of the solar eclipse, it has broken free of its restraints and escaped from inside.

Even if it's just a shadow.

But the fierce power it exudes.

It is not inferior to the weak Sakura Dragon that Ashina encountered!
Not to mention that Higanbana was facing such a monster in the cave, the adventurers who were watching outside the hall at this moment all felt a sense of horror. It seemed that this master and disciple were in big trouble!

"Master, what happened?"

"This, this... This is the spirit of the ancient demon beast Taotie..."

Chen Fu's face was filled with horror and disbelief: "Such a ferocious creature...why would it appear here...why is there no record of it in ancient books?"

Just a few seconds.

From virtual to real.

Taotie is about to appear!

Higanbana exclaimed, "This thing is materializing!"

"Run away quickly! Even Master is no match for this glutton. Leave here before it takes shape!"

"I absolutely cannot abandon Master. Let's deal with it together!"

"stupid!"

Chen Fu turned around and slapped Higanbana with his palm. The latter was caught off guard and was sent out of the cave in an instant by the violent force, and the master's sigh came to his ears.

"Jingchou... don't blame Master... you have no idea how terrifying Taotie is!"

Higanbana lost consciousness.

The adventurer also saw the secret crystal turn black.

I don’t know how long it took, but for the adventurer, it was just a brief moment.

When Higanbana regained consciousness, the sky had cleared up again and the terrifying ferocity of Taotie had disappeared. She quickly got up from the ground and walked towards the cave, only to see a scene that shocked her.

The cave was completely frozen.

The bone-chilling ice was filled with ice silk.

"Master!"

The red spider lily was extremely anxious.

"Jingchou...don't come over...don't touch these ice silks!"

A very weak voice came from the ice.

Chen Fu continued, "Master's time is running out... Don't interrupt me... You must listen carefully to every word Master has to say next!"

Seeing this, the red spider lily hesitated to speak.

"The demon in the mirror is the ancient demon god Taotie... Even with my master's power... I can't defeat it!"

"Master can only expend all his cultivation and spiritual power to perform this soul-freezing method... but it can only barely suppress the Taotie's movements..."

"I am about to be completely frozen in this cave along with Taotie..."

The red spider lily couldn't help but cry out: "Master!"

She was playing the role of Chen Jingchou at the moment, so she could feel the outburst of sadness and for a moment she couldn't hold back her tears.

It can be seen that for Chen Jingchou.

Although the master is strict, he is the most important relative.

He may not restore his country or seek revenge, but he does not want anything to happen to his master!

"Don't worry... I'm frozen here... I have about a year left to live..."

so.

Is there any way to save it?

Upon hearing this, the red spider lily immediately turned from sadness to joy.

Chen Fu continued, "If this master dies... Taotie will lose control... and will definitely come out to harm the world!"

"So you must leave this place as soon as possible... and go to Lei Xiaze to find my senior brother, Master Gongshan... Among all the current cultivators of our Guigu Sect... he is the only one who has a chance of dealing with the Taotie!"

Chen Fu's voice was growing weaker and weaker. "It doesn't matter if you still can't save me in the end... My life is not important... What's important is that you practice diligently... Collect the four sacred artifacts of the Qin, Ding, Yinshi..."

"Remember, if you encounter Yang Tuo, do not fight him... This man is definitely not a match for ordinary people... You must escape in time... Protecting yourself is the most important thing!"

"Jingchou..."

"We must recover Dachen!"

Chen Fu fell completely silent after he finished his last sentence.

"Master! Master! Master!"

The red spider lily called out several times but there was no response.

She could also clearly feel that the old man's breath had completely disappeared. He was completely sealed and it was impossible for Chen Jingchou to rescue him with his ability.

This is the end.

Prologue part.

It's all over.

The red spider lily received a reminder from the secret realm.

【Challenge Ends!】

【This evaluation: C-level! 】

【You have obtained the "Green Torture Ghost Spirit"! 】
