A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 933 Monster or Alien? (Please order the whole thing!)

Hearing the sound of fighting in the backyard and someone shouting that a monster had appeared, Hua Twelve, Qian Song Yi, Cao Zhengchun and others hurried over to see what was happening. They saw a man dressed in the clothes of a Goryeo minor official in the backyard of the post station, floating quietly more than two meters above the ground, with his limbs drooping limply, like a corpse.

The people from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard all stood back to back in a circle, staring carefully at the rooftops around the courtyard.

A Dongchang soldier was lying on the ground with a bloody hole on his chest, as if he had been pierced by a sharp weapon. He was dead.

  Seeing Hua Shier and Cao Zhengchun coming, the head of the East Factory shouted:

"Your Majesty, be careful, the monster is on the roof!"

"There!" Cheon Song Yi had been training hard with wild beasts in the mountains since she was young, and she actually found the target faster than the Jinyiwei present.

Everyone looked in the direction where Cheon Song Yi pointed, and saw a head peeking out from behind the roof of a house on the side. When it noticed everyone looking over, the figure disappeared in a flash. Its movements were faster than those of a top-notch martial artist. When everyone looked over after hearing the sound, the figure had already vanished.

  Hua Twelve glanced at the body floating in the air, thinking, and said to Cao Zhengchun:

"Lao Cao, go and tear that guy's head off for me!"

Cao Zhengchun flew up without saying a word, formed one hand into a claw, and grabbed the head of the body floating in the air, whose life or death was unknown.

But when Cao Zhengchun's palm was still more than a foot away from the man, it was blocked by a transparent barrier.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath of energy: "Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong!"

With a bang, the transparent barrier was broken by the old eunuch.

Just when he was about to succeed, a black shadow jumped out from the side of the house, and several huge octopus-like tentacles poked directly at Cao Zhengchun's back.

Hua Twelve showed a look of astonishment, and said calmly: "The real master has come out, Lao Cao, please take him alive!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Cao Zhengchun no longer cared about the corpse, but stepped into the air, turned around in the air, crossed his hands, and urged his true energy:

"Vajra body protection!"

In an instant, a circular protective shield condensed from true qi appeared around Cao Zhengchun, wrapping him inside. The tentacles poked at the true qi shield, but could do nothing to him.

Cao Zhengchun took the opportunity to reach out and grab a tentacle: "Come to our house!"

The black shadow was pulled over by Cao Zhengchun directly, and everyone could see clearly that it was a humanoid monster taller than ordinary humans. It was called a monster because it had no skin. The surface of its body looked sticky and slippery, and except for the color, it looked like fish skin or frog skin. And those long octopus-like tentacles extended from the back of this humanoid monster.

Judging from the shape of the tentacles and the way they attacked, it was obvious that the Dongchang guard on the ground was killed by this thing.

Cao Zhengchun pulled his tentacles and pulled the monster directly over.

The monster let out a roar that was not like that of a human, and actually took the initiative, grabbing towards Cao Zhengchun with its two claws like steel structures.

Cao Zhengchun sneered, grabbed one of the opponent's claws with his right hand, and used the silk-wrapped grappling technique to break the bones and tendons of the claw.

Just when he was about to capture it completely, something like a laser beam suddenly came out from the monster's other claw, which directly pierced through Cao Zhengchun's Qi shield. The old eunuch was so scared that he kicked the monster away, thus avoiding the pain of being penetrated by the laser.

Hua Twelve shook his head and said sarcastically: "Old Cao, you can't do it either!"

Cao Zhengchun fell to the ground and said with a wry smile: "I underestimated the enemy and made Your Majesty laugh. Next time, I will learn from my lesson. Your Majesty, just hold it up!"

He did not stop while he was talking. When he said "underestimate the enemy", he raised his hand and grabbed the waist knife of a Dongchang guard in his hand. He moved forward with the knife as one and rushed forward to kill the monster. When he finished speaking, he had already slashed out with the knife and cut off one of the tentacle of the monster.

The monster jumped back onto the roof and shot lasers at Cao Zhengchun. Cao Zhengchun rushed forward with a knife and slashed at the monster. The two figures chased and fought on the surrounding rooftops like lightning.

After all, Lao Cao was a top martial artist. He found an opportunity and performed some seemingly fierce and brutal sword moves. In fact, he kicked the monster in the crotch with his leg. The monster's crotch made a cracking sound, as if its bones were broken. The whole body fell into the yard and fell heavily to the ground.

The Dongchang soldiers and Jinyiwei below rushed forward and tried to capture the monster alive.

The monster was injured in the leg, and it released several tentacles from its back. Some of them swept across, forcing the Dongchang guards and Jinyiwei to raise their swords to block. The other two tentacles went straight to the corpse in the air. When the tentacles penetrated into the corpse, the monster instantly turned into mucus and flowed into the body along the tentacles.

The Korean man suddenly raised his head in mid-air, as if he had come back to life. However, he seemed to have lost his ability to float, and his whole body fell down. Like the monster, his tentacles stretched out from behind him and grabbed the roof nearby, and he moved across the air and was about to escape.

There was no way Cao Zhengchun would let him run away again. He sent several sword energies over and cut off all the tentacles, and then kicked the man in the back.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound, and then fell to the ground with a bang. When he wanted to look up again, more than a dozen steel knives were already on his body. If he dared to resist again, he would be hacked to pieces.

The Korean said in Korean: "You can't kill me. We have an agreement with your immortals. You can't kill me."

Hua Twelve stepped forward and asked in Korean: "Tell me, what are you? You said you had an agreement with an immortal. What immortal? What agreement?"

  The Korean looked around and saw elite soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, with murderous intent in their eyes. He knew he had no choice and finally sighed:

"I am an intelligent creature from another planet, an existence that you cannot understand in this era. We landed on this land by accident and met an immortal named Changmei, who allowed us to live in Goryeo. This time, your people wanted to kill me, and I fought back only in self-defense!"

Hua Shier had guessed about the identity of this monster before. This monster looked too much like the alien in a Korean movie he had seen called "Alien".

The aliens there treat the Earth as a place of exile and use the human brain as a prison. They imprison prisoners who kill their own kind in the human cerebral cortex, forming a symbiotic relationship. As humans grow old, get sick and die, these alien prisoners will perish along with them.

But where there is a prison, there is a jailbreak. The so-called jailbreak by the aliens is to restore their own consciousness and become the dominant one of the host, while the humans who were originally possessed by them become puppets who are controlled.

Of course, this kind of jailbreak also has limitations. First of all, the awakening of consciousness requires two conditions. One is to breathe the air of their original planet, and the other is to be stabbed by a crystal dagger called the Excalibur by these aliens.

However, the crystal dagger is in the hands of the artificial intelligence robot manager who guards the prisoners.

The manager lives in modern South Korea in the image of a human. The crystal dagger in his hand can provide energy, allowing him to travel through time and space. Therefore, the manager only lives at one point in time and can manage prisoners at other points in time.

If the alien in front of him was really the alien prisoner in the movie as he thought, then the other party was now in a state of prison escape.

Moreover, he was somewhat surprised to hear that these alien prisoners had actually had contact with Changmei.

  Hua Shier remembered that the leader of the alien prisoners was called the Designer, so he asked in Korean:

“Where is the designer?”

This sentence was also a test. He just wanted to see if this alien was the one he knew. The alien had obvious surprise on his face: "How do you know the designer?"

Hua Shier was already certain in his heart that this was the plot he knew, but he didn't expect that after arriving in Goryeo, the plot here began to become disrupted.

He smiled coldly: "Should I ask you, or are you asking me?"

The alien had no choice but to sigh and say, "When we accidentally traveled through time and space, time turbulence occurred. The designer should have landed at a different time point. My companions have been looking for him!"

  Hua Twelve was very keen to notice that this alien said his companions were looking for the designer, not us, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"You didn't look for the designer?"

The alien smiled bitterly:

"To be honest, I am very satisfied with my current life. My companions are all guys with radical ideas. They want to find a designer to return to the modern world and transform the earth at that time into a planet suitable for us. I don't want to get involved in their affairs!"

"I didn't realize you were a pacifist!"

Hua Twelve had a sarcastic sneer on his face and thought to himself, if I didn't know that you were an alien prisoner, I might have actually believed your lies.

However, he did not rush to expose the other party, but asked: "Tell me how many people you are, and also tell me about you and the long-browed immortal!"

When the alien mentioned Changmei, fear flashed in his eyes:

"There are a total of 107 of us. We met the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal 150 years ago. He was very powerful and killed several of us with a wave of his hand. Later, he learned about our situation and made an agreement with us that as long as we don't go to the Central Plains and live in Goryeo, he will not care about us."

  Hua Shier was surprised that the number of aliens seemed to be more than in the movie. When he heard that it was the long-browed one he encountered in 150 years, he laughed:

"Stop talking nonsense. Can a life form like you live to be 150 years old?"

The alien paused for a moment, then reluctantly explained the reason:

"Master Changmei accepted a member of our tribe as his disciple and gave him the Dharma name Zizang. Now Zizang is the leader of Gaoli Miben and is very powerful. He refined some elixirs for us. After taking them, we can prolong our lives, so we have lived until now!"

A trace of solemnity flashed across Hua Twelve's eyes. Changmei Zhenren was definitely the big boss who had never appeared in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". In the original plot, he was a meticulous person. After Zhang Sanfeng ascended to heaven, he suppressed his peers in cultivation with extreme means. He planned for a hundred years with great effort, and before ascending to heaven, he paved all the way for the prosperity of Emei.

It can be said that in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", almost everything is planned by Master Changmei.

So why did he collude with aliens in Goryeo?

Hua Shier didn't believe that Changmei saw that the man had good talent and thought that he must have some ulterior motive!

He looked at the alien and asked calmly, "Tell me about your agreement with Changmei. I don't believe he will help you for nothing!"

The alien's eyes flickered, and he was obviously hiding something and didn't want to say more.

Hua Twelve's eyes showed a hint of coldness: "If you tell me, I can spare your life. If you don't tell me, you will die!"

The alien smiled bitterly and said, "I only know that the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal said that Goryeo will belong to us. After four hundred years, there will be no restrictions on leaving Goryeo. The Earth can be given to us. As for what he asked for, only Zi Zang knows. We are not aware of it!"

Hua Twelve sneered and said, "Really don't know?"

The alien nodded: "I really don't know!"

"Then what's the point of keeping you!"

Hua Twelve pointed his right index finger at the alien, but before he could release his spiritual treasure innate sword energy, the alien sensed the breath of death first and said quickly: "You promised not to kill me!"

Hua Twelve was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and agreed: "That makes sense!"

Then he withdrew his hand and winked at Cao Zhengchun. Old Cao understood and slapped the Korean man's body into a bloody mud.

As soon as the host died, the alien in the head tried desperately to drill out, trying to escape and find another host. At this time, Lao Cao made a gesture, and the Dongchang guards and Jinyiwei took action at the same time, hacking the monster that had drilled out to death with their swords.

Hua Shier felt that this matter must be unusual and Changmei definitely had some plan. He planned to go find the person who hid the secret book after meeting the young King of Goryeo to get to the bottom of the matter.

Cao Zhengchun was asked to clean up all the corpses in the post station and pile them up in the wilderness behind the post station, and then use corpse powder to scratch them off. Everyone rested in the post station for one night and set off again the next day.

Not long after, they finally arrived near Goryeo Samsaang Mountain. This place was indeed very famous. Hua Twelve asked Cheon Song Yi to go out and gather information. It didn't take long for this girl to find out everything.

Qian Songyi came back and reported to Hua Twelve:

"The people nearby said that there is a Taoist temple on the mountain that is very effective. There are two immortals, a man and a woman, in the temple. The Qian Taoist is called Qingyun and the Kun Taoist is called Heishe. The old man who told me said that when his grandfather's grandfather was still alive, the two immortals practiced here, and their appearance has not changed until now!"

Cheon Song Yi added, "I also heard that Sanjiao Mountain is usually sealed with magic. People can go up the mountain, but they can't find the way to the Taoist temple. Only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month will the two immortals open the mountain gate. Only then can pilgrims go to the Taoist temple to burn incense and worship the gods. Although the two immortals are protecting the little king now, the rules have not changed. Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month, which is the day to go up the mountain!"

Hua Twelve raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? Well, I'll go up to the mountain tomorrow to help you settle the grudge. It's a good opportunity to see what's so great about this Goryeo immortal!"

Everyone changed out of their official uniforms and put on the ordinary Goryeo clothes they had bought, and settled down in the small town at the foot of the mountain. Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, everyone got up, had breakfast, and headed for Sanjiao Mountain.

When we got to the foot of Triangle Mountain, we were dumbfounded. The mountain road was packed with people. After asking, we found out that on the first and fifteenth day of every month, not only believers from nearby Seoul would come, but also thousands of people from all over Goryeo would come to burn incense and worship the gods, praying for blessings from the immortals.

"Let's go up the mountain!"

Hua Shier was plotting to kill the young emperor of Goryeo, but he didn't plan to fly up and start the attack right away. Instead, he followed the crowd upwards under the protection of everyone. He planned to treat this trip as sightseeing, and observe carefully before making plans for the next step. In case those two immortals were more powerful than Xuantian Sect, he would have to find a way to outsmart them.

There were so many people going up the mountain that we could not see the Taoist temple until almost noon on the small hill of more than 800 meters.

Suddenly, two sword lights came from a distance. Hua Shier looked up on the mountain path and saw at a glance that on one of the sword lights stood a fat monk with a smile on his face, and on the other sword light stood a child with delicate eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, a face as white as jade, and two buns on his head, who looked like Nezha's child.

  Two sword lights showed up in front of people without any scruples and fell directly into the Taoist temple!
