This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 26 The four enter Bottle Mountain and find the Angry-Eyed Chicken

After Zhong Bai finished speaking, he looked intently at Partridge Whistle.

Partridge Whistle frowned slightly for a moment before relaxing, and then said, "Master Qianhe has considered things very thoroughly. If there really is a six-winged centipede in this Pingshan Tomb, its offspring must be terrifyingly numerous."

The Angry-Sunny Rooster is a mythical beast among chickens, its yin and yang energies mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Finding an Angry-Sunny Rooster to enter the mountains would greatly increase the safety of this journey.

After saying that, Partridge Whistle fell into deep thought.

"Master Qianhe, if the Angry Sun Chicken exists in Ping Mountain, it is likely that it can only be found in the Miao village near Ping Mountain."

but……

Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on fate.

Partridge Whistle dared not boast, even though he understood the principle of mutual generation and restraint, he dared not say that he could find the Angry-Eyed Chicken.

"It's alright, it's alright. We're just exploring along the way anyway. If we can find the Angry-Eyed Chicken, then we'll take it with us."

If not, my Maoshan methods would be more than enough to deal with that six-winged centipede!

Zhong Bai's confidence comes from his own strength. He is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, possesses the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, has a near-perfect Shangqing Body Tempering Technique, and has mastered the Great Thunder Escape Technique. These are things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Two hours later.

In the Miao village at the foot of Ping Mountain.

This place was almost completely isolated from the outside world, so when Qianhe and his companions entered the village, the villagers stared at them with strange looks.

If Chizuru and her companions hadn't been unarmed and appeared harmless, a conflict would most likely have already broken out.

"Brother Zhong, you're really amazing!"

"It only took five years of apprenticeship at Maoshan to cultivate supernatural abilities, unlike me, who has been practicing martial arts with my senior brother since childhood and still has achieved nothing."

Beside Zhong Bai, Hua Ling chattered incessantly, constantly pestering him, and her address changed from the distant Daoist Qianhe to Brother Zhong.

Zhong Bai didn't sense anything was wrong; the girl was still young.

The reason I'm seeing him now is because I've been spending all my time with my two senior brothers and haven't interacted with anyone else, which is why I'm so clingy.

It will get better when you grow up.

Honestly, Zhong Bai only felt a sense of warmth, like having a younger sister by his side.

Of course, given enough time, even a fool would understand Hua Ling's thoughts. It can only be said that Zhong Bai has underestimated Hua Ling at this stage.

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, Partridge Whistle suddenly stopped.

Zhong Bai understood.

Upon arriving at the village, a faint, almost imperceptible, aura of evil filled the air, but it lacked any fishy or foul smell.

Zhong Bai guessed that it most likely belonged to the Angry Sun Chicken.

As if to confirm Zhong Bai's conjecture, the moment Partridge Whistle stopped, a rooster's crow, like the cry of a phoenix, rang out.

Zhong Bai could tell its extraordinary nature just from its chirping.

Zhong Bai exchanged a glance with Partridge Whistle, smiled, and the two quickly headed towards the direction where the rooster crowed.

......................................................

"Old friend, as the saying goes, a dog doesn't live eight years, and a chicken doesn't live six."

You've been with me since you were a child, for over ten years now. I'm an old man from a side branch of the Taoist sect, and even though I studied metallurgy and medicine, I know that if I continue to let you run wild, you will surely turn into a demon.

So... you might as well accept your fate!

As he spoke, the old man gripped the sharpened cleaver tightly in his right hand. Just as he was about to open the chicken coop, a shout rang out.

"Stop it, sir!"

Partridge Whistle arrived just in time, as if it had been arranged in the dark.

Hearing someone call his name, the old man was startled. He turned around and looked at the person, then frowned.

"I don't know where you come from, or why you told me to stop."

Zhong Bai had no interest in getting involved in the tug-of-war between Partridge Whistle and the old man; he simply stood at a distance chatting and joking with Hua Ling to pass the time. Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle's face slowly broke into a smile, but he didn't give a direct answer.

"Uncle, I suppose you are aware of the rule that dogs don't live for eight years and chickens don't live for six years."

"You've probably raised this 'Angry-Eyed Rooster' for over ten years; it has already developed sentience. It's a real shame to slaughter it now."

The person they called was knowledgeable, and the old man sighed with regret.

"That being said, we cannot let it remain. If it were to truly transform into a demon and gain power, the people of this village would likely never have a peaceful day."

Such actions were truly a last resort.

Partridge Whistle smiled faintly and said, "I see. If that's what you're worried about, would you be willing to sell us this Angry-Eyed Chicken, old man? That way, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

Partridge Whistle thought that his words would make the other party agree, but to his surprise, the old man first frowned and then looked Partridge Whistle up and down.

"Sell it to you?"

I'm sorry, although you are full of energy, you are probably just a martial artist. Although this Angry Sun Chicken is very nourishing for you, I will never allow it to end up in someone else's stomach!

Besides, as a martial artist, you don't have the strength to suppress the Angry Rooster after it transforms into a demon.

Therefore, you should return to where you came from. You'd better abandon this idea of ​​the Angry Rooster.

Partridge Whistle's lips twitched. So the other party looked down on him and didn't trust him.

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle looked at Zhong Bai, who was chatting with his junior sister in the distance.

His eyes darted around, and a plan immediately came to mind.

"Haha, old man, you've thought this through. I admire you. But you may have misunderstood. This Angry-Eyed Chicken is not what I need."

Instead, the Taoist priest needed to use the Angry Rooster to go to Ping Mountain to kill a six-winged centipede!
That's him!

At this point, Partridge Whistle pointed at Zhong Bai.

"Although this Taoist priest is young, he is a true disciple of Maoshan!"

"I wonder if the old man thinks it's trustworthy to entrust the Angry-Eyed Rooster to this Daoist Master Qianhe?"

It doesn't matter if you look down on yourself; anyone can wave a big flag.

After listening to Partridge Whistle talk about the true teachings of Maoshan and the six-winged centipede, the old man's expression immediately turned serious.

The initial disdain and disgust vanished completely.

He hurriedly walked towards Zhong Bai, who was in the distance.

"When you come to the Arctic Mountain, you will find it full of purple energy. Of the seventy-two famous mountains in the world, only this mountain shines with golden light!"

Old man Zhao Qing, a descendant of the Jinzhai Leitan lineage of the Daoist school at Beiji Mountain, pays respects to Daoist Master Qianhe of Maoshan!

What is status? What is the hierarchy of sects? What is the difference between different classes?

This moment perfectly illustrates the point.

Not to mention Beiji Mountain, even Jinzhai Leitan is just a small sect or branch of Taoism, belonging to a side branch of Gezao Mountain.

When he encountered a direct disciple from Maoshan, the old man dared not be careless and held him in the highest esteem!
Upon seeing this, Zhong Bai, who had been chatting and laughing with Hua Ling, had no choice but to stop. Without even thinking, he knew that it was Partridge Whistle who was trying to take advantage of his Maoshan reputation.

"So you are a fellow Daoist from the Arctic Mountains. I am Zhong Bai, Daoist name Qianhe, and my master is Qian Yuan Zhenren, the chief elder of the Maoshan Law Enforcement Hall!"
Fellow Daoist, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Upon hearing what Zhong Bai said, not only was the old man dumbfounded, but even Partridge Whistle, the one who was raising the banner, was dumbfounded.

No, not really a friend. Partridge Whistle originally thought that Zhong Bai was a direct disciple of some elder of Maoshan.

Although Partridge Whistle was young, he had heard of the name of Qian Yuan Zhenren, the chief elder of the Maoshan Law Enforcement Hall. He was a giant in the Taoist sect!
Indeed, for them, the peak of Foundation Establishment is a colossus-like existence, and in fact, it is so. When Golden Core True Monarchs do not appear, Qian Yuan True Person is almost invincible in the mortal world.

The old man swallowed hard, his mouth watering. Although he was stunned, he quickly came to his senses.

"Zhong Qin Chuan, your friend just said that you want to take the Angry-Eyed Rooster with you?"

At this moment, arrogance and disdain have been replaced by flattery and fawning. The difference between people is so obvious, isn't it?
At least Partridge Whistle, standing to the side, had a face as black as charcoal, clenching his teeth in anger...

Hehe, well, I'm not trying to suppress Daoist Qianhe, it's just that it's a bit unreasonable. You can't have a small horse pulling a big cart, so improving physical strength is very important.

Then, I continue to look forward to your monthly tickets, investments, continued reading, and tips! Your support is my greatest source of motivation! Thank you so much!
