in the name of evil

Chapter 103 The Boss Harvester

Seeing Jiang Li follow the patriarch down to the forbidden area, Tan Chufeng was stunned.

Why did the patriarch suddenly appear, why did he know Jiang Li, and why did the two of them suddenly agree?

Countless reasons filled Tan Chufeng's mind.

"By the way, go tell Master first!"

Tan Chufeng got up from the ground and went straight to Qiu Chuyun's residence.

Inside the residence, Qiu Chuyun and Zhang Xuanli were making plans for the future using the mysterious organization that appeared simultaneously in the Qinling Underground Palace and Bashu Sanxingdui as imaginary enemies, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Master! I have something important to report!"

Tan Chufeng's anxious voice came into the room.

"Come in and talk."

Hearing Qiu Chuyun's indifferent voice, Tan Chufeng pushed open the door, walked up to the two of them, saluted, and said, "The patriarch has left the customs!"

Qiu Chuyun was a little surprised at first, then nodded in understanding:

"So fast? But I have untied the knot in my heart. It is only a matter of time before I leave the customs. Where did you meet the old man?"

"Before the forbidden area." Tan Chufeng didn't seem too surprised to see Qiu Chuyun, and realized that Qiu Chuyun might know about it.

"Don't make a fuss, you will often see his old man in the future, is there anything else?"

Qiu Chuyun smiled.

"Have."

Tan Chufeng nodded emphatically: "Patriarch, the old man, took Jiang Li to the forbidden area!"

"Don't make a fuss, it's just... what did you say?!"

Qiu Chuyun's expression changed instantly.

"I said, Patriarch took Jiang Li and went down to the forbidden area!"

Tan Chufeng repeated it again.

Qiu Chuyun was sure that he had heard correctly, and stood up abruptly.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuanli looked puzzled: "Forbidden place?"

"Old man, you have to hold on to me, I'm afraid I'll fall suddenly"

Jiang Li Xiaoniao held the old man's hand obediently, for fear that he would fall down if he didn't pay attention.

After discovering that the old man was easy to talk and didn't have the airs of a superior person, Jiang Li's words and deeds became more casual.

The old man was not angry, but thought this kid was very interesting, unlike the young disciples on the mountain who would kneel down and worship him when they saw him, which was very boring.

"Don't worry, although I am old and weak, this little thing will not go wrong."

The old man comforted Jiang Li, then changed the topic:
"Also, don't call me old man, just call me Old Liu."

"No problem, Mr. Liu, so what, how long is it until we arrive at the station?"

Jiang Li was a little uncomfortable with this completely suspended situation, and felt very insecure.

"almost."

Elder Liu suddenly asked again: "However, are you following me so reassuringly? Don't you wonder why I want to help you?"

Jiang Li's heart tightened, what do you mean?
Are you the priest of the church?Do you have ideas about teenagers?

Although he couldn't figure out what Mr. Liu meant and felt a little uncertain, Jiang Li still pretended to be very relieved and said:

"Ever since I went to Mount Zhongnan, Master Qiu has provided me with a lot of help. He is not only my good teacher and helpful friend, but also my benefactor. I trust him unconditionally.

And Mr. Liu, you are the master of Master Qiu, so I naturally respect and trust you.

As for why you want to help me, there must be your reasons. If you are willing to tell me, then you don’t need to ask me, and you will definitely not hide it from me, but if you don’t want to tell me, I’m too embarrassed to ask, right? "

Old Liu shook his head and chuckled lightly:
"Chu Yun didn't tell me about this, but just told me some basic information about you and your practice of psychic devouring magic after my inquiry. I have studied that skill for a while, but it didn't No practice, just pointing at the past.

As for why I want to help you, it is purely my own wish and has nothing to do with Chu Yun. "

Jiang Li was a little surprised by this answer.

He originally thought that it was because Qiu Chuyun boasted that he was a promising young man in the new era in front of Mr. Liu, so this old man was curious about him and cherished his talents, but who knew it seemed that this was not the case .

Out of personal will?But if Qiu Chuyun's slander is excluded, he and Mr. Liu should have never had an intersection, and he shouldn't be able to alarm him.

Unless Mr. Liu is a helpful person who enjoys helping others, it is difficult to explain.

And what's even more surprising is that Qiu Chuyun had also been instructed by Mr. Liu on the practice of psychic devouring, but he himself had never practiced this thing at all?
What kind of knowledge and realm can one have such a deep understanding of exercises that one has never practiced before, and can even guide real practitioners?

It seemed that he could see the stunned and puzzled eyes from Jiang Li's eyes. Mr. Liu didn't let it go, and explained slowly in an old voice:
"20 years ago, there was no cleaners union, and the first ghost riot broke out in Sanxingdui, Bashu.

At that time, no one knew that this would be the beginning of the revival of ghosts and ghosts, and no one expected that since then, ghosts and evil spirits would spring up in this world like mushrooms after rain, and everyone regarded it as a large-scale event. ghost incidents.

There used to be a Shushan Sword Sect in Bashu, but it was destroyed later.

At that time, they sent invitations to all decent families, hoping that we could help them get rid of those ghosts.

At that time, I was only the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and Chu Yun was my first disciple, and I took him to Bashu to participate in that operation.

But for some reason, I did something that damaged my Dao heart and violated my original heart. As a result, after returning to the mountain, I couldn't make any progress in my cultivation for five years.

For this reason, I passed on the position of head teacher to Chu Yun, and I retreated in the back mountain without stepping out of the courtyard of the retreat, hoping to erase the shadow in my heart as soon as possible and re-sharpen my heart.

But even so, 15 years later, that incident is still like a nightmare, affecting me all the time, making me doubt myself all the time.

until yesterday"

Jiang Li listened with gusto at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Mr. Liu, you really don't treat me as an outsider. Can I really listen to the secrets about your cultivation?

But Mr. Liu seems to have no taboo about this, and he didn't hide it at all:

".Yesterday, you, my disciple, and the young monk from Shaolin Temple brought something from the underground palace, which changed everything.

I finally realized that what I did at the beginning might not be because of my own selfishness that harmed the good, but because I unintentionally eliminated a great enemy in advance.

Since then, my thoughts have been clear, and there is no longer any erosion by demons.

Maybe you did it unintentionally, but you have really provided me with great help.

You should understand what it means for a practitioner to have someone help me reshape my spiritual path.

It is no exaggeration to say that although your cultivation bases are low, you have given me the kindness of reinvention! "

Although he didn't understand what Mr. Liu was talking about, Jiang Li felt that he didn't understand.

Good guy, although I don't know what realm Liu Lao is in, but at least he should be stronger than Qiu Chuyun. The favor of this kind of character is much more solid than the favor of Buddhism to me.

Is there any unexpected gain?

Although Jiang Li was curious as to what he had done unintentionally, Mr. Liu did not hide anything about his practice, but he spoke very cryptically about it. Congratulations Mr. Liu:
"No matter why, it is my honor to be able to help Mr. Liu!"

"Hahaha, so you can rest assured that I will not harm you no matter what, not to mention that you need those little gadgets below for your cultivation, as long as you don't violate my principles, you will be in any trouble But come to me, the door of Quanzhen Sect is always open for you!"

When Mr. Liu talked about his joy, he waved his hand and gave Jiang Li a promise that would make the entire world of cultivating immortals jealous.

Although Jiang Li didn't know the specific weight of this promise, he could roughly guess that it was impossible for a person of this status to easily make such a very conceptual promise.

Without violating the principle, this is already a very low bottom line. For Jiang Li, the operability is too strong.

But Jiang Li was ecstatic, and he also understood that the words were so, but he couldn't come to him for any trouble.

This is like a rich man and a poor relative, no matter how good the relationship is, but if the poor relative always troubles the rich man, even if it may be just a little effort for the rich man, but after a long time, even a saint will feel bored.

Unless the person you help has the ability to give you a greater return, it is impossible for someone to give unilaterally and tirelessly.

Mr. Liu's promise can be regarded as a way out, but it cannot be regarded as an object of unrestrained demands, otherwise this friendship will be worn away sooner or later over time.

Contacts are not consumables, but renewable resources that can be used for a long time, which can be clearly distinguished after a full meal.

After thinking about this, Jiang Li immediately said righteously:

"Whether it is unintentional or intentional, it is a blessing to help Mr. Liu. Even if Mr. Liu promises me such a promise, the Quanzhen Sect is my friend. For me, helping a friend is a matter of course. It should be, definitely not for revenge."

Mr. Liu nodded in satisfaction. Such an old Jianghu can naturally see what Jiang Li is up to at a glance, and said with a meaningful smile:
"That's right, young people are not small, but to be honest, if you ask me some small requests, I can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm afraid that you young people have big goals and suddenly ask me to help you do something big. At that time, I'm afraid I will have to fight this old bone."

"No, no, no." Jiang Li smiled and waved his hands.

Jiang Li didn't feel embarrassed when he saw through Jiang Li. On the contrary, even though he saw Jiang Li's tricks, Mr. Liu didn't mean to regret it, which made him more sure that his choice was very wise.

"Then Chu Feng and Lingyue." Jiang Li asked tentatively as he had benefited, and Jiang Li didn't forget the little friends who lived and died together.

"You boy, you are clever when you are clever, but you are really stupid when you are confused."

Old Liu shook his head with a wry smile:
"The little monk has his own way, I can't help him much, but my grandson, you heard what I said just now, I promised to teach him the formation personally, don't you understand?"

Should I understand?Jiang Li blinked in puzzlement, he didn't know much about the twists and turns in these great sects, and he didn't understand what it meant to give advice personally.

Seeing that Jiang Li still didn't understand, Mr. Liu simply pointed out:

"Chu Yun said that my disciple's grandson is extremely accomplished in formation, and he is second to none among the young disciples, so pointing him is not only to make him go further, if he can catch my eye, as long as he has both ability and integrity, and meets the standard, he will be in the future. It's not impossible for him to be the head teacher of Quanzhen sect."

Hearing this, Jiang Li gasped. Can this kind of internal secret operation really be said so blatantly?

It seems that we have to persuade Tan Chufeng to drink less flower wine in the future, and to have both ability and morality, but virtue is ahead of talent. If it is spread in the future that the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect is an old scumbag, it will make Liu Lao and Qiu Chuyun How can it be so embarrassing?
Just when Jiang Li was thinking wildly, Mr. Liu suddenly said: "It's here, you can let me go."

Jiang Li subconsciously let go of the hands tightly holding Old Liu's arms, touched his head in embarrassment, and then talked about the environment below.

Unlike the Qinling Underground Palace, it seems that people often come down here, and there are many ever-burning lights hanging on the rock walls.

Here is like a deep well, surrounded by rock walls, looking up, only a small bright spot can be seen, one can imagine how deep it is.

"Mr. Liu, are we at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain?"

Jiang Li asked uncertainly.

"More than that, it's much deeper than the foot of the mountain. This is the place where the patriarch Wang Chongyang completely imitated the tomb of the living dead and built it with great supernatural powers. It serves as a refuge during the war and preserves the place where the Quanzhen sect has been passed down."

Old Liu said with a sigh.

"Then what, Mr. Liu, didn't you say that there are many earth-level ghosts down here? Why don't I feel anything?"

Jiang Li felt a little strange. When he was in the Qinling Underground Palace, the stone figurines that were still sleeping could give him a very uneasy feeling. As a result, there were earth-level ghosts below, but it felt like a normal place. It's no different, it's unreasonable.

Mr. Liu showed an incomprehensible smile: "Oh? What about now?"

As soon as the words fell, before Jiang Li could react, he felt that something seemed to disappear in the surrounding air, and then, a feeling of disgust that went straight to the bottom of his heart burst out of Jiang Li's body.

The gloomy aura and the ghostly melody made Jiang Li shiver involuntarily.

But this feeling was fleeting, and the things that had just disappeared returned to the air, enveloping the two of them again.

Jiang Li panted heavily, and then broke away from the oppressive atmosphere just now, and looked at Old Liu with wide eyes:
"What just happened?"

Mr. Liu said with a smirk, "I took back the aura that has been protecting you just now, how do you feel?"

Jiang Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the sense of powerlessness he had just reproduced in the underground palace facing the earth-level man was very real, and gave him the illusion of staring into the abyss.

Only then did he realize that it turned out that he hadn't felt the so-called ghostly aura before, just because Mr. Liu had been protecting him.

There is no such thing as quiet time, but someone is carrying the burden for Jiang Li!

"Mr. Liu, don't do this next time, you will scare people to death." Jiang Li said with lingering fear.

"Haha, I must let you experience it, otherwise you would think that Li Gui is an ordinary thing that can be seen everywhere, and that I am fooling you."

Mr. Liu held his hands behind his back and laughed out of character.

Jiang Li finally understood that this bad old man was very bad, and he didn't know what was causing the old man with this mentality to have a heart demon for 20 years.

"Then where is our destination?"

Jiang Li patted Elder Liu on the back, helping him cough violently from laughing, and asked impatiently.

Mr. Liu was blushing with a cough, and pointed to a not-so-obvious cave in the distance: "It's right there, let's go."

Jiang Li obediently followed behind Mr. Liu, looking around as he walked.

There are not a few such caves on the rock wall, and it is estimated that most of them are the places where the seniors of the Quanzhen sect that Mr. Liu said were retreating.

I heard that people who embarked on the path of cultivation can take a long time to eat a meal, so Jiang Li didn't worry too much about whether these people would starve to death.

This kind of question seems to be a bit too wicked.

As the two walked into the cave pointed by Mr. Liu, Jiang Licai really saw Li Gui's true face.

Those ghosts seemed to be resting, and their appearance was a little indescribable. I don't know if they always looked like this, or if something changed.

Seeing the appearance of these ghosts, Mr. Liu also felt a little surprised:

"Why do they look like this?"

Jiang Li was taken aback, you don't know if you co-authored it?
Elder Liu noticed Jiang Li's suspicious gaze and explained:

"Two years ago, I heard from Chu Yun that the things below devour each other, and their power has been greatly enhanced. Even the Li Gui, who is about to appear at the peak of the earth level, is already powerless to deal with it. I hope I can come forward to help him solve it.

But at that time, I was infested by demons, and it was even more difficult to prevent my cultivation base from slipping. I didn't have the energy to help him wipe his ass, so I kept procrastinating. I didn't expect these things to evolve into this way. It's really a bit surprise me. "

Just looking at the appearance, Jiang Li felt that all these ghosts were suture monsters, with strange shapes and a bit disgusting, but he couldn't tell how strong they were.

So, Jiang Li asked: "Then how strong are these things?"

Elder Liu looked at it carefully for a moment, then pondered:

"Each one has an earth-level peak. There are probably no fewer than ten here. If they continue to devour each other, there may be a sky-level ominous ghost. I'm afraid I will have a little trouble dealing with it."

Jiang Li looked at Mr. Liu in shock, with a little effort, not that there was no way?
Does this mean that Mr. Liu is a heavenly deity?

"Then what, Mr. Liu, may I ask, have you become a god?"

Jiang Li's voice trembled a little.

Mr. Liu smiled heartily: "Last night, the inner demons were eliminated, and the savings of 20 years suddenly exploded. I was lucky enough to enter the threshold of becoming a god, but it is not complete. Now it can only be regarded as a half-step of becoming a god."

"Half step?" Jiang Li was a little confused by this.

To transform into a god is to transform into a god, how come there is still half a step to talk about.

"You haven't come into contact with this level of realm, so it's no wonder that you don't know it. In fact, you can only enter the threshold of cultivating immortals after you have transformed into a god. Before that, you can only count as practice.

Because there is a marked process from gasification to godhood."

"It can't be Dujie." Jiang Li suddenly thought of this word.

Mr. Liu nodded: "That's right, it's the Thunder Tribulation."

Suddenly thought of something, Jiang Li asked: "Does the number of thunders have anything to do with cultivation?"

Although Mr. Liu wondered why Jiang Li asked this, he still replied:
"It doesn't matter. Although there has always been a saying that the greater the number of Thunder Tribulations, the stronger the potential is, it is actually a fallacy. There is no difference in the number of Thunder Tribulations, only strength or weakness.

Normally, the color of thunder is the same as the color of aura, but I have seen in ancient books that someone's thunder color is different from aura, which means that it is possible that the person who crosses the catastrophe can change the color of aura and forcibly improve his talent, but this kind of There are very few cases, and there have not been a few cases in thousands of years.

If you're lucky enough, you might be able to break through the shackles of human-level spirits with the psychic phagocytosis, and you might not be able to change your aptitude during the tribulation. "

Although he knew that this was almost impossible, Mr. Liu still used this to encourage Jiang Li, telling him not to feel inferior because of the black aura. Qiu Chuyun told him about this, and he always kept it in mind, so he understood Jiang Li. Why did Li practice psychic devouring evil?

But Jiang Li never felt inferior at all, not only did he not feel inferior, he was even worried that the red lightning in the sky would startle other people's jaws when he crossed the catastrophe.

Seeing Jiang Li's pensive expression, Mr. Liu reminded, "Back back."

When Jiang Li heard Mr. Liu's words, he subconsciously stood far away.

Afterwards, Jiang Li was surprised to see Mr. Liu's long gray hair start to rise towards the sky against gravity.

In the next moment, with Liu Lao as the center, countless formations of white spiritual energy appeared on the ground and around.

I don't know if it was an illusion or what, Jiang Li actually saw strands of golden light from the white aura, and when Jiang Li rubbed his eyes, those golden lights disappeared.

Unlike Tan Chufeng who needs to use items to set up the formation, Mr. Liu seems to have done nothing, and the space began to change inexplicably.

I saw Mr. Liu stomping his feet lightly. These formations seemed to be alive, and he built countless magical formations by himself, covering the entire cave.

Jiang Li looked at those formations with a little concentration, and was disgusted by the tadpole-like dense formations, and felt a strong sense of dizziness. He immediately closed his eyes and dared not pry into the mystery.

Looking at these formations, Elder Liu nodded in satisfaction, then walked deep into the cave.

During the whole process, Mr. Liu seemed to have just walked back and forth in a not-so-deep cave, but Jiang Li witnessed the hellish scene.

Those ghosts who were resting seemed not to be aware of Old Liu's existence at all. They were smashed and strangled by the formation in their sleep, and turned into streams of black filthy resentment, which was collected by Old Liu.

The formation was ruthlessly and efficiently harvesting the lives of these ghosts, and soon, the whole cave was filled with an indescribably strange atmosphere.

Jiang Li swallowed unconsciously, seeing that no one was spared in what Old Liu had gone through, he secretly sighed in his heart how terrible Old Liu was.

Before Jiang Li always felt that the formation was flashy, so the teleportation formation was useful, and the others could be broken with strength, but now it seems that the formation is not too rubbish, it is just Tan Chufeng's rubbish.

Until Mr. Liu walked in front of him, Jiang Li still hadn't recovered from the horrifying scene just now.

But Mr. Liu seemed to feel something at this moment, walked out of the cave with a serious face, looked up, and said, "It's coming."

Jiang Li walked out of the cave in a daze, his eyes covered with aura, and he looked up.

I saw black clouds covering Zhongnan Mountain.

It's going to rain.
