Chapter 324 I Want to Become an Immortal (20)
They came to an uninhabited suburb where there was a City God Temple, and they lived there.
Because the sect here does not trust Jiuge and the others, Jiuge plans to let the people from Tianyun Sect take action.
Just as they were delivering the message, two uninvited guests came to the dilapidated temple. Du Ruo was shocked when she saw them, "Dad! Why are you here!"
Du Zhong had traveled a long way to get here, and his beard had grown a lot. When he saw Du Ruo, he burst into tears and snot:
"You rebellious girl, can you please inform your father before you go out next time? You are my only child. Do you know how I would feel if something happened to you?"
Du Ruo scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm fine, but why are you here?"
Du Zhong said: "Can you two yellow-haired girls deal with the gods? Looking at you, it's obvious that you can't accomplish anything."
Du Ruo retorted: "No way, Xiao Jiujiu is so powerful, Xuan Che was killed by her!"
Du Zhong's expression changed: "... Are you kidding, her?"
Jiuge was very upset by the disbelieving expression, "Don't look down on me, I'm very capable."
Du Zhong curled his lips to show that he didn't believe it. He had heard about what was happening in the city along the way. The two of them could not deal with Luo Ling at all, so they had to rely on him.
Yunze followed behind Du Zhong. He greeted Jiuge awkwardly, "Junior sister, are the master and junior sister all right?"
Du Ruo replied: "It seems that you still don't believe that your master is dead."
"What do you mean?"
Du Ruo told them everything that happened during their journey. "Your master should have died a long time ago. The one in his body is another person, but he was also killed by Jiuge, so it can be regarded as revenge for him."
"And that Tong Xin, I guess that body isn't hers, but you're still obsessed with her. She's a monster and she can suck human blood. If you don't believe me, you'll believe it the next time you see her."
Yunze didn't say anything for a long time. He remembered that when he was a child, he was an orphan picked up by a master. The master taught him many things. Later, the master traveled around, and he followed him. In his heart, the master was like a father.
The master at that time was very good and helped many people. Later, the master was invited to the mountain by the Tianyun Sect. He was very happy at that time that they finally didn’t have to live a wandering life.
But not long after that, the master was attracted away by something unknown, and when he came back, he brought a little girl with him, that was Tong Xin, and he demanded that he must protect her at all times.
The master doted on Tongxin too much, so much so that he almost ignored him. Later, when they went up the mountain, even after he accepted Yunhe as his disciple, he still required everyone to dote on Tongxin unconditionally.
At that time, he did not doubt that his master had become a different person. He was grateful for his master's life-saving grace and obeyed his master's every word to the point of losing his self.
"Is he...really gone?"
Yunze felt an indescribable blockage in his chest. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He just felt very uncomfortable.
No one said anything, probably because they had realized the reality.
At night, they all gathered in the dilapidated temple to sleep. The strong wind blew, making the broken window frames rustle, and from time to time there were bursts of crying, which seemed particularly creepy in the empty dilapidated temple.
Du Ruo stood up impatiently and threw a broken bowl out, "Damn, your father is dead, can you please stop wailing in the middle of the night?"
Yunze, who was hiding in the corner wiping his tears, closed his mouth weakly and helplessly. Woo woo woo, can't he even cry?
……
In order to help them, Du Zhong went to various major sects in the name of Tianyun Sect. Those people also gave him face. He told them what had happened, and some people did not believe him at first.
Du Zhong said: "All of you who practice Taoism and study Taoism are here to eradicate heresy and save the people. I know you don't believe what I said, but if you deny my words without investigating it yourself, and if she really does that and endangers the people, everyone, can your Taoism still be stable?"
The elders of Qingyun Sect thought about it again and again, and said: "I will trust you for once. If what you say is false..."
"I will destroy my own Dantian and never enter the Immortal Sect again."
"……Can."
With Du Zhong's assurance, they headed to the place where Tong Xin had been before, where they indeed discovered the existence of the cuckoo bird.
But this doesn't prove anything, as these cuckoos come out to cause trouble every once in a while.
They still planned to go to Luoshan to find out the truth, but Jiuge reminded them that it would be best not to alert the enemy, so they went there directly without telling Luo Lingtong.
But on the way to Luoshan, they all felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, Luoshan was a blessed land, and the creatures here should enjoy more blessings than those in other places.
But all the living things in this place revealed a sense of deathly silence. The animals looked dazed and stood motionless in the middle of the road.
A disciple stepped forward and patted it tentatively. The deer's eyes suddenly rolled up, revealing a strange white eyeball, and the next second it showed him its bloody teeth.
"Ahhh!!! What the hell!"
The deer wanted to eat people, and the elder of Qingyun Sect knocked the strange deer away with a gloomy face.
In his heart, he was already 70% convinced of Jiuge's experience, and he said, "Keep on going. Let me see whether this goddess of the Demon Pass is a god - or a demon!"
They came all the way to the foot of Luo Mountain, and above it was Luo Ling's residence.
The bird, sensing the invasion of outsiders, hurried forward to report the news, but the elders and their companions did not stop and continued to move forward.
When they were halfway through the journey, Luo Ling's figure appeared in front of them, bringing with him a strong pressure. Several disciples almost fell backwards. The elder slammed his staff into the ground, and the spiritual energy dissipated. Only then could the disciples behind him barely maintain their shape.
Luo Ling looked unhappy and said, "You cultivators from the mortal world, without my permission, who allowed you to set foot on my territory without permission!"
The elder was furious. He suppressed his anger and said, "Please don't blame me, Fairy. I just noticed that there was a demon at the foot of Luo Mountain. I was extremely worried about you, so I came here to - get rid of the demon!"
Luo Lingqi said, "You are crazy to kill demons in my territory, right? Leave now, or I will punish you for disrespect."
The elder threw the sika deer he had just killed in front of her, but it was not dead. Its abdominal cavity was wriggling, as if something was about to come out. After a while, its stomach burst open, and a black smoke in the shape of a ghost face hissed out. The elder pinched it out with one palm.
The elder said, "Fairy, you can believe it now."
Luo Ling's expression changed. He was too careless. She said, "I have been stationed at the Demon Gate for many years. There will always be times when I can't take care of it. You guys go ahead. I will deal with these evil things."
