I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Let's split up now. I, Zhongli Quan, and Lu Dongbin will trace the cause of the crocodile disaster. Fairy, you and Caihe will escort the Han family to settle down." Tieguai Li said in a deep voice in the silence.

"I also want to investigate the source of the crocodile disaster." Lan Caihe said.

"If you know a little bit, be obedient." Tieguai Li frowned slightly.

Lan Caihe: “…”

Seeing his disappointed look, He Xiangu said with a smile: "Master, since Caihe wants to go, you can let him go. I am also a celestial being after all, so I am not afraid even if I encounter crocodiles."

"Yes, yes." Lan Caihe raised his head and said, "Master~~"

Tieguai Li sighed and said, "For the sake of the fairy lady, I will agree to your request this time, but this will not happen again."

Lan Caihe immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Compared to known or unchallenging tasks, he prefers unknown tasks like tracking down disasters, which are more exciting!

"Then let's go."

Lu Dongbin turned the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly a white cloud rose from under his feet.

Tieguai Li and Zhongli Quan also followed suit, stepped on the auspicious clouds, waved goodbye to everyone, and flew away...

"Thanks to you guys, Chaozhou is saved."

Looking at the three immortals disappearing into the blue sky and white clouds, Han Yu lowered his head and said to He Xiangu.

He Xiangu smiled slightly and said, "You are too kind. Even if we are not here, I believe that Lord Han will definitely find a way to save Chaozhou."

Han Yu burst into laughter and then looked at Xiangzi standing beside him.

If Xiangzi could marry a wife like this, he would not be afraid to see his elder brother even if he died in the underworld...

half an hour.

He Xiangu escorted the Han family to settle in the official residence. When several Chaozhou officials heard that their chief officer had arrived, they risked encountering crocodiles to come and pay a visit.

There is no way. Although crocodiles are ferocious, it is still one thing whether you can encounter them or not. But if your boss comes and you don’t go to see him, you will probably lose this official uniform.

Han Yu brought these officials to the main hall and questioned them carefully. The more he listened, the more frightened he became.

The crocodile disaster itself was a disaster, but this disaster brought about more disasters, such as thieves and bandits.

Now most of the wealthy families in the city have fled, leaving only some poor people who have no money and no way to escape, still suffering in the city. Rather than waiting for hope, it is better to say that they are waiting for death...

In the courtyard.

He Xiangu and Han Xiangzi sat face to face in a stone pavilion, exchanging Taoist teachings with each other.

In fact, although it is said to be mutual, most of the time it was Han Xiangzi who was asking questions and He Xiangu who was explaining, which was almost equivalent to imparting Dharma.

This was also the norm among the Eight Immortals. Everyone sincerely hoped that Han Xiangzi could achieve immortality as soon as possible. For this reason, no one held onto their own prejudices and kept something from him.

After a long time.

Four streams of light suddenly fell from the sky and transformed into the figures of Li Tieguai, Zhongli Quan, Lan Caihe, and Lu Dongbin in the courtyard.

In an instant, the two people in the pavilion and Han Yu in the main hall came out one after another, looking at them expectantly, only to see that the four immortals were all in a state of distress...

"This is what you are doing?"

He Xiangu pointed at the black mud on Lu Dongbin's white robe and asked first.

Lü Dongbin smiled bitterly and said, "I met a tough guy."

"Hard? How hard?" He Xiangu asked.

Tieguai Li said: "The first divine crocodile in the world, the ancient demon lord who has lived from the beginning of the world to the present, the Crocodile Ancestor!"

He Xiangu: “…”

There is no need to add any other modifiers, the first three words alone are enough to explain a lot.

For example, the first dragon in the world is the Ancestral Dragon, and the first phoenix is ​​the Ancestral Phoenix, both of which are emperor-level existences.

This crocodile ancestor may have been just a minor character in that era, but now, he represents antiquity and nobility!

"What's worse is that this Crocodile Ancestor seems to have defected to the Heavenly Court. He holds a golden scroll from the Heavenly Court in his hand and has taken away all our magic weapons." Zhongli Quan raised his empty hand. He felt really uncomfortable without the fan.

"I thought it was an easy task, but I didn't expect such a change to happen." He Xiangu pursed her lips and said thoughtfully: "I will go to the underworld to ask Master for help!"

Although this Crocodile Ancestor sounds very powerful, ever since her master led them out of the Tongtian ban, she has firmly believed that there will be no problem in this world that can stump her master.

No matter how powerful the Crocodile Ancestor is, can he be more powerful than the Master of Heaven?

After hearing what she said, except for Lu Dongbin, the other three immortals all breathed a sigh of relief.

If they have any difficulties, they can find Yang Jian. This is indeed the simplest and most efficient way, which is better than them racking their brains to do a lot of useless work...

Tongtian Island in the East China Sea.

Tongtian Temple.

Master Tongtian sat on the high throne, cast a spell to summon the five new disciples, and said with a smile:

"According to the time, the blood curse should have already penetrated into Lu Dongbin's heart meridian. If nothing unexpected happens, he will transform into a demon in the next few days.

You guys try to find a way to lure him and the other Eight Immortals into killing each other. Once you’re done, bring him into my Tongtian Sect.

This way, I can rest assured.”

"We will follow the Master's orders." The five gods saluted in unison and said in unison.

They are now truly confident and think that since they succeeded last time, they will definitely reap rewards this time as long as they work harder!

That night.

The five gods descended on Chaozhou City, released their divine senses to sense things, and soon they reached the vicinity of the official residence. They all looked intently, their sight penetrating through the high walls, and saw the immortals sitting together happily admiring the moon and discussing Taoism. There was no tension at all as they had imagined.

what happened?

Didn’t they say that the blood curse had entered the heart meridian?

The five gods looked at each other, and then all stared at Lü Dongbin, only to see that he was playing the piano with a smile on his face, to match the sound of Han Xiangzi's flute.

In this peaceful mental state, how could there be any sign of being out of control or possessed by a demon?
In the courtyard, Lv Dongbin's keen sense suddenly sensed the spying, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Who is outside?"

The five gods disappeared underground without any hesitation.

They didn't know why they ran away. Perhaps it was because the situation was beyond their expectations, or perhaps they wanted to inform the leader of the news as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

"anyone there?"

Lan Caihe silently opened his Dharma Eyes and looked in the direction of Lu Dongbin's gaze, but found nothing.

Lu Dongbin nodded slightly: "It was there just now, but it's gone now."

Zhongli Quan said, "It could be Crocodile Ancestor or his subordinates who are worried that we are plotting against him, so they came here to gather intelligence."

Everyone nodded. Lu Dongbin exhaled lightly and said, "I wonder how the fairy is doing. Has she seen the master?"

The underworld. In the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace, inside an ancient palace.

Yang Chan stood opposite He Xiangu, holding a communicator, casting a spell to inject energy, and called softly, "Second brother, can you hear me?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice that was very familiar to both of them came from the communicator: "I can hear you, what's the matter?"

"The fairy is looking for you."

Yang Chan said this and handed the communicator directly to He Xiangu.

He Xiangu held the communicator in both hands and immediately said, "Master, we are in trouble again..."

In the wilderness, on the plain.

Qin Yao stood in front of a grassland that looked like the Qinghai Lake, watching Chunying's soul playing with Ao Shunxin. With a smile on his face, he said to the communicator hanging in front of him, "What's the trouble?"

"We arrived in Chaozhou. As soon as we entered the city, we heard about the crocodile disaster. We wanted to solve the disaster, but we didn't expect that there was a Crocodile Ancestor standing behind those divine crocodiles. He held the Golden Scroll of Heaven and took away all the magic weapons of Dongbin and others." He Xiangu said concisely.

Qin Yao narrowed his eyes slowly. Instead of being nervous, he smiled even more brightly when he heard the news.

He clearly remembered that in the original novel, Han Xiangzi's path to immortality was due to this crocodile disaster. Specifically, the key to unlocking the killing disaster was to sacrifice oneself and let the crocodiles gnaw on one's body, thus completing the killing disaster!
Therefore, although the Crocodile Ancestor is a bit difficult to deal with, from the perspective of the Eight Immortals returning to their positions, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages...

"I understand. I'll go to Chaozhou to help you right away." Qin Yao responded after a while.

He Xiangu said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master."

"What are you thanking me for? I am the guardian who will escort you eight immortals back to your positions." Qin Yao said with a smile.

He Xiangu smiled and said, "Then I will rush to Chaozhou right away to tell my fellow immortals the good news."

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "See you later..."

Shortly after.

under night.

Five divine rainbows were speeding across the sea like meteors, heading straight for a fairy island in the sea.

In the blink of an eye, the divine rainbow landed on the island and transformed into the figures of the Five Gods of Fire, who hurriedly walked towards the temple.

In the temple, Master Tongtian, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. Without waiting for them to greet him, he said directly, "Come in."

"Master, there was an accident." Liu Huan spoke first after entering the door.

Tongtian felt a little depressed.

What he hated most was hearing this kind of words. After all, every accident meant that something was beyond his control.

"Just tell me, what's the accident?"

Liu Huan said: "After we arrived in Chaozhou, we found that Lü Dongbin was now behaving very peacefully and getting along well with the other immortals. He didn't look like he was under a blood curse."

"How could that be?" Tongtian asked in astonishment.

He knew that behind the Eight Immortals stood Yang Jian, and behind Yang Jian stood Hou Tu and Laojun. Therefore, from the beginning of refining the blood curse, he had taken into account that Yang Jian might ask these two people for help. For this reason, he deliberately spent a lot of time and energy to make this special blood curse for Lu Dongbin.

How exclusive is it?
This set of blood curses contained a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one great laws, many of which were even completely conflicting. If one was not careful, they would explode.

Regardless of whether it is Laojun or Houtu, they are people who have taken one great law to the extreme, and they are not so proficient in the other laws.

He was even certain that there were many laws that these two people had never seen before.

The reason for going through so much trouble was to prevent the other side from easily removing the blood curse. Otherwise, as soon as he planted it, the Eight Immortals would come back to ask Laojun to remove the curse, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

Having said that, it was precisely because he had taken precautions against this situation in advance that he could not understand the current result.

Who has broken the special blood curse that he has cast on himself?
It couldn't be that the Heaven was grateful for Lu Dongbin's act of dismembering a weapon in his previous life and helped him turn the danger into safety, right?

If this is true, then why am I fighting so hard?
"We don't know how this happened."

Liu Huan said helplessly: "The fact is that the immortals are now in harmony. Let alone bringing Lü Dongbin into the sect, it would be difficult to even provoke him to turn against the immortals."

Tongtian exhaled slightly, and instinctively wanted to calculate with his fingers, but after calculating, he realized that it was now a period of great calamity, and the secrets of heaven were hidden by the way of heaven, so he could not calculate anything...

He then closed his eyes and tried to sense the blood curse. However, no matter how he strengthened his perception, he could not sense the blood curse that he had personally refined within the Three Realms.

"You go to Chaozhou to monitor the Eight Immortals and look for opportunities to take action. I'm going to the Heavenly Palace." Soon, Master Tongtian stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The five gods responded in unison.

Half an hour later.

Tongtian Patriarch slowly stepped into the Lingxiao Palace. As usual, the Jade Emperor dismissed all the gods in the palace and cast a spell to close the palace door to prevent anyone from seeing him...

"I need the help of the Haotian Mirror to investigate something." When there were only two of them left in the huge hall, Tongtian said very directly.

Small talk?

nonexistent.

"What's the matter?" The Jade Emperor was also very direct. He summoned a magic mirror shining with brilliant golden light with a flip of his hand.

"I want to know how Lü Dongbin broke the blood curse." Tongtian Sect Master said: "This blood curse carries too many of my expectations. In my expectation, it will make Lü Dongbin gradually become a demon, and eventually turn against the immortals, and join Tongtian Sect with endless resentment."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, raised his hand to cast a spell, and imprinted it in the mirror.

However, a long time passed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but the Haotian Mirror still did not respond.

"Can't find out."

After another half incense stick of time, the Jade Emperor gave up and let out a light breath.

"Is it really the blessing of heaven?" Tongtian's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The Jade Emperor's heart moved, and he said meaningfully: "There is another possibility. Yang Jian has a magical weapon that can break all laws. Its quality is not inferior to the Haotian Mirror."

Tongtian narrowed his eyes slowly and asked, "Is there such a magical weapon in the world?"

The Jade Emperor thought about it again and again, and said frankly: "I have never seen it, but this may be my short-sightedness. However, compared to the protection of heaven, I believe this more. After all, throughout the ages, heaven has never personally intervened in disasters."

Tongtian pondered and said, "Is there any way to find out what this thing is? I'm very curious..."

"Can you still do something to him? If possible, lock him up and search his soul forcibly, and you will definitely find out." said the Jade Emperor.

Tongtian hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Not for now, the last time Laojun was furious, he almost fought to the death with me.

Even before leaving, he threatened me that if it happened again, he would facilitate the return of the saints.

Once the saints return to the Three Realms, my Tongtian Sect will be doomed."

The Jade Emperor spread his hands and said, "Then I can't do anything. Laojun is watching you, and Houtu is also watching me and the Queen Mother.

No matter which of us goes down to the mortal world to deal with Yang Jian personally, Hou Tu will definitely start a war at all costs.

You know, she has six reincarnations behind her, so she is very difficult to deal with."

Tongtian paused for a moment, and asked softly, "Tell me, is this balance of power a destiny, or was it constructed by Yang Jian himself?"

The Jade Emperor was startled, and a chill and fear suddenly emerged in his heart... (End of this chapter)
