Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 244 The Fall
"It's Zhang Tailai."

Wang Ba reacted immediately.

Turning his eyes slightly, he glanced at himself and found that there were no omissions, so he stepped forward to open the door.

There were no monks from the three sects outside the door, only Zhang Tailai, who smelled of smoke all over his body, rushed in with strides nervously.

Seeing that Wang Ba was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoyou Shen, you never opened the door, you scared me to death!"

However, no flaws could be seen on Wang Ba's face, and he asked with doubts, "Master Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Tailai shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I just heard two noises outside suddenly, so I hurried over to have a look."

"It was only later that I remembered Shen Xiaoyou, and I hurried back."

"It rang... twice?"

Wang Ba was taken aback.

He turned his head and looked at Buchan suspiciously: "When I was retreating, there were two noises outside?"

Bu Chan nodded: "Yes, the sound is very loud, and I don't know what is so loud."

"I went over there to see it, it looks a bit like a thunderbolt."

Zhang Tailai scratched his head.

Hearing the words, Wang Ba seemed to feel confused, so he shook his head and said:
"Forget it, there is no need to delve into it. Most likely there are monks fighting outside the city."

"We're not going out anyway, don't worry too much."

Zhang Tailai's simple and honest face revealed a half-understanding look: "Oh, then I'll go back first."

"Hehe, Daoist Zhang is not in a hurry to leave. I've been in seclusion for many days, and I'm a little bored. Why don't we drink some spiritual wine together."

Wang Ba opened his mouth to persuade him to stay.

Buchan glanced at Wang Ba, then smiled and retreated to get the spirit wine.

When Zhang Tailai heard the spirit wine, he immediately showed emotion.

It's just that soon, it seems that something has come to mind, and there is a faint struggle on the face:

"Brother won't let me drink casually..."

"This spiritual wine is easy to dispel the alcohol, and it won't let the real person get drunk."

Wang Ba said with a smile.

Soon, Buchan took out the spirit wine and made some side dishes.

Zhang Tailai couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down and eat and drink.

Soon, the wine was so hot that he even opened his clothes and drank heavily.

Seeing this, Wang Ba had no choice but to pour himself a drink.

Not long after, the door was knocked again.

"Today is strange."

Wang Ba couldn't help muttering.

Buchan had already walked to the door, lifted the formation, and opened the door.

I saw a monk wearing Xuli's patriarchal robe looking in, his eyes swept over Wang Yan and Zhang Tailai on the opposite side, then he quickly looked away, and then whispered a few words to Bu Chan,

left soon.

"What did he just say?"

Wang Ba asked curiously.

Buchan didn't hide it either: "He said that someone outside the city seemed to have released two second-order sky thunders one after another. He was worried that someone would harm the senior brother, so he came here to check and saw that the senior brother was fine, so he left."

Wang Ba nodded slightly when he heard the words.

But Zhang Tailai showed a trace of pride on his face: "Look! I'm right!"

"Hehe, Master Zhang's vision is like a torch, so he can see through falsehood."

Wang Ba patted his ass flatteringly, which immediately caused Zhang Tailai to burst out laughing happily.

After drinking for a while, Zhang Tailai blushed and staggered away from Wang Ba's mansion.

Looking at Zhang Tailai's back, Wang Ba was a little absent-minded.

"Brother."

Buchan walked to Wang Ba's side.

Wang Ba suddenly came back to his senses, but his face was a little dignified:
"The situation is not quite right. I obviously just released a thunderbolt before. How could there be two noises?"

"How long was the interval between the two sounds?"

"About six breaths."

Bu Chan recalled and gave a number.

Wang Yanmu thought about it: "So, that is to say, just after I used the teleportation array to leave for about two breaths, someone came to the scene and released another Tianleizi."

"But, who is this person? What is the reason for doing this?"

Bu Chan's eyes flickered, and he analyzed:

"Brother released the Thunderbolt to attract the three major sects with the voice of the Thunderbolt, and let them discover the monks of the Incense Path. The other person released the Thunderbolt, which is unlikely to continue to attract people's attention. Either he happened to fight someone and used the Thunderbolt, or he used the explosive power of the Thunderbolt to hide something."

"The former is a bit of a coincidence, and the latter, what needs to be hidden at the scene?"

Almost without thinking, Wang Ba and Bu Chan gave the answer almost at the same time:
"It's those incense monks!"

"Someone is secretly helping Xianghuo Dao!"

Wang Ba immediately added: "And according to this time interval, it is very likely that there are people from them in Yong'an City!"

Thinking of this possibility, both of them couldn't help but feel heavy.

The scene of the incense road raging in the Chen country in the past is still fresh in the memory of the two.

Perhaps a single monk of the Incense Fire Dao is not to be feared, but the trouble with the Incense Fire Dao lies in its pervasiveness and its tenacious vitality comparable to weeds.

But the current situation is a bit like the situation when Wang Ba was in Dongshengzong in the past. The incense way is like the Tianmen religion that was hidden in the dark in the past.

It's just that the way of incense is not Tianmen religion.

But today's Wang Ba is no longer the Wang Ba who had no power to restrain a chicken in the past and was at the mercy of others.

Wang Ba's eyes gradually calmed down, and he quickly analyzed:

"The people of the Incense Road should not know that I discovered them."

"They are afraid of this person who discovered them, and I am afraid that they will not make any moves for the time being, but will be careful to restrain themselves."

"Furthermore, when the Incense Road came to the hinterland of Great Chu, it must not be possible to develop believers on a large scale. Most of them were arranged by the Wanshen Kingdom to spy on information, so we don't need to worry too much at all."

"The next time Daoist Zhang from Danlong Sect comes over, I will tell them about the Xianghuo Dao in person."

Bu Chan thought for a while, but had no better suggestion.

He just said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will practice my skills well."

Although Wang Ba was a little relieved when he heard the words, he was also a little helpless.

The junior sister is good at everything, but her talent in magic is too ordinary.

It's just that he really couldn't discourage Buchan's enthusiasm, so he could only smile and nod, and then went back to the quiet room alone.

Close the door gently.

Wang Ba's complexion suddenly darkened.

"Xu Lizong..."

The layer of protection formed by the Hundred Lives Blasphemy Curse outside his Lingtai temple suddenly disappeared, and he realized that someone had cast a curse on him.

Originally, his suspects actually included all the sects of the three major sects, and even some casual cultivators.

However, when the probing Xuli Sect disciple looked at him, he immediately realized that there was no one else but Xuli Sect!

Because he clearly sensed the fleeting surprise and astonishment in the other party's eyes.

It seemed incredible that he could still sit there.

As for why Xu Lizong wanted to kill him, Wang Ba could also guess something.

"It seems that what Zhang Tailai said before made them wary, so they simply took action..."

Wang Ba couldn't help but look slightly cold.

But immediately he calmed down these emotions one by one, opened the storage bag, took out strips of second-order middle-grade psychic ghost loaches, and began to cast the 'Hundred Lives Blame Soul Curse'.

After half a stick of incense.

Feel the indescribably dark black outside the Lingtai temple, which seems to be more excited and writhing than before.

Wang Ba breathed a sigh of relief.

That's how you feel safe.

It's just that he didn't know if it was an illusion, he could faintly feel that the Lingtai temple seemed to be shrinking a bit compared to before.

……

"You mean, when you saw Shen Fu, you also saw Zhang Tailai?!"

In the palace at the highest peak of the Xuli Sect, Zhuang Yi eagerly grabbed a disciple by the collar and asked anxiously.

"Yes! The disciple saw it with his own eyes! These two people are still drinking together, that Shen Fu doesn't look like he has been cursed at all, by the way, that Zhang Tailai looks a bit embarrassed."

The disciple of Xuli Sect hurriedly said.

If Wang Ba were here, he would definitely find that this person was the monk who knocked on the door before.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yi quickly turned around, clasped his fists towards Lin Boyue, the lord of the Xuli Sect who had never said a word, and said:

"Sovereign! It must be Zhang Tailai who blocked the spell for Shen Fu, so that the spell backfired, not only harming Cao Xiang of Wei State, but also implicating...implicating Wang's nephew!"

On the raised futon.

Lin Boyue didn't speak, his face was terribly dark.

In the eyes, there is a trace of sadness and anger that has never been seen before.

His eyes couldn't help but fall below.

There, two weird meat balls were rolling in place.

It can be vaguely seen that one of the meat balls is wearing the robe of Xu Lizong.

In Lin Boyue's mind, Wang Tang's face could not help but float up.

This is a good seed that he finally picked out from the disciples of the next generation who are dedicated to the sect.

He has worked hard for decades to train him, and he is likely to succeed him in the future and become the next suzerain of the Xuli Sect!

Countless painstaking efforts.

Just like that, turned into a ball of meat?
Zhuang Yi's face was stern: "Sect Master, why don't we go directly to Yong'an City and take Zhang Tailai down! Let him die through torture, so that all the casual cultivators will know what will happen to the cultivators who dare to murder me..."

"shut up!!!"

Finally, Lin Boyue couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes filled with anger, and he looked at Zhuang Yi furiously.

"You tell me!"

"Why wasn't you the one who died?"

"Why is Wang Tang dead!"

Zhuang Yi looked at Lin Boyue blankly in shock.

"Brother... I..."

Lin Boyue closed his eyes suddenly, his chest heaving violently.

In the entire hall, there was deathly silence!

After a long time, Lin Boyue let out a long breath and finally opened his eyes.

There was an unspeakable tiredness in his eyes.

He looked at Zhuang Yi and said in a low voice: "Junior Brother Zhuang, I'm sorry just now."

"No, it's Zhuang Yi who is useless. Even his nephew Wang failed to protect him. He is the future of our sect. The sect can live without Zhuang Yi, but it cannot live without Wang Tang."

Zhuang Yi lowered his head with shame on his face.

"What nonsense, you are Jindan Daoist, the pillar of the sect, no one is more important than you!"

Lin Boyue gave a light drink and said a few words of comfort.

Immediately, Mulu pondered:

"Cao Xiang's curse-killing technique in Wei State can kill even the foundation establishment. Although this Shenfu is extraordinary in skill, in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary monk in the early stage of foundation establishment. I will not be wrong about this."

"The place where Shen Fu is located, Zhang Tailai also happens to be there, and this probably isn't a coincidence."

"In this way, I'm afraid it was Zhang Tailai who blocked him for him, and from your description, this Cao Xiang didn't seem to believe that he would suffer a backlash before he turned into a meat ball, and on top of this meat ball, almost all the curses that spread to the body were generated by the soul. Obviously, this Zhang Tailai probably knows how to spell, and it involves a lot of scope!"

"So, this Zhang Tailai, I am afraid, has greatly surpassed our previous understanding of him. Everyone thinks that he is a fool with no brains, but this is just his perfect disguise!"

Listening to Lin Boyue's analysis, Zhuang Yi also forgot his self-blame all of a sudden, and couldn't help saying in surprise:
"What does the suzerain mean, this Zhang Tailai has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? But, this... doesn't look like it at all, it doesn't look like he's pretending at all."

Lin Boyue immediately shook his head and said:

"This is exactly his brilliance, even if you think it's impossible, others won't."

Zhuang Yi nodded immediately when he heard the words, but he always felt that something was not right.

"Then we arrest him now?"

Zhuang Yi couldn't help but said.

"No, right now is not the right time."

"Yuan Wenzhi has been hiding in the dark and has not shown himself. If Zhang Tailai is killed right now, it will only cause trouble."

Lin Boyue's face was slightly cold, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"hold on."

"You first investigate all the information and achievements of Zhang Tailai, and find out all his strengths and weaknesses..."

"These things will be used sooner or later."

"Yes!"

"and also……"

Lin Boyue glanced at the lumps of flesh below his eyes, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes slowly.

"Give him a good time."

"……Yes."

……

Three days later.

north.

Blood rained.
