The Bad Guys: Everyone, let’s revive the Tang Dynasty together!

Chapter 305: The World is in Turbulence (I)

In the darkness of night, a bonfire had already been lit in the temple, and a group of people were sitting around the fire. They were Xiao Yan, Ji Ruxue, Chi Meng and Xian Shen.

As for the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing, he was sitting on the swing, swinging gently and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ji Ruxue frowned slightly, looked at Chi Meng quietly, then glanced at the fresh ginseng, and finally looked at Xiao Yan.

Because the atmosphere was really weird.

Chi Meng sat on his knees beside the fire, hugging his knees with his hands, just staring blankly at the leaping bonfire, without saying a word.

Ever since Ji Ruxue re-entered the temple, the little girl has been in this attitude, and it is rare that she has no desire to communicate with Ji Ruxue and Xiao Yan.

Xian Shen, who had always been carefree and indifferent to everything, now looked a little restrained. He sat next to Chi Meng, tapping his forehead with his fingers from time to time, and occasionally looking up at Chi Meng secretly. When he saw that the latter still had no changes in his movements, he continued to tap his forehead with a headache.

It was obvious that this God of the Dead Creek Forest, who didn't care about anything, was helpless against Chi Meng.

It was not difficult for Ji Ruxue to guess that when she and Xiao Yan were not in the temple just now, Xian Shen and Chi Meng had some communication.

And he also figured out why Xian Can was unwilling to reveal her identity as Chi Meng's mother when Chi Meng first appeared in the temple.

Compared to Chi Meng, Xian Shen, the mother who never left any memory fragments to Chi Meng, might be more uncertain and more flustered than Chi Meng in the matter of recognition...

Especially when the Gu King was unconscious and not with them.

Xian Can felt a little uneasy about this, so after some hesitation, he secretly gave Ji Ruxue and Xiao Yan a pitiful look.

Ji Ruxue sighed in her heart. She had been separated from her parents in the war since she was young, so she could understand the sense of alienation between relatives who had not seen each other for a long time. Moreover, in Chi Meng's memory of more than ten years, her mother should have passed away. Now that Xianchen had suddenly recognized her, how could Chi Meng not feel alienated...

After a brief hesitation, Ji Ruxue asked, "Senior Xian Shen, after the withering spell on the Gu King is removed, will there be any other hidden dangers?"

Sure enough, Chi Meng's ears moved immediately, and his eyes glanced at the fresh ginseng.

Xian Shen was stunned at first, then he immediately suppressed the surprise in his heart, and then subconsciously drew circles on the ground with a stick. However, after drawing the first circle, he immediately realized that he was now Chi Meng's mother, so he immediately threw away the stick and shook his head: "This witchcraft is not very clever, it just eroded Chi Li's flesh and blood, and has no other effect except making him weak, but..."

Beside him, Chi Meng had just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the previous words, and then he heard the word "but", so he immediately asked nervously, "But what? Did that poisonous bastard cast other witchcraft on my dad?"

Xian Shen subconsciously turned his head to look at Chi Meng, a little stunned.

This was the first sentence Chi Meng had spoken to her in the past few hours.

Chi Meng lowered his head and lowered his voice: "Just tell me..."

Xian Shen suppressed his joy, coughed twice, and said, "That bastard Chi Li has been studying witchcraft for decades, and I have been in the Dead Creek Forest for more than ten years without leaving. I may not have seen some of the secret techniques he has cultivated. I am afraid he has done other things to Chi Li."

"Ah?" Chi Meng wrinkled his nose and whispered, "Aren't you from Twelve Caves..."

Ji Ruxue also frowned.

Xian Shen scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it to his daughter.

Xiao Yan said, "Although the Twelve Caves are a place where witchcraft is practiced together, the cave masters are obviously more proficient in witchcraft. My uncle once told me that after practicing witchcraft, no matter how strong you are, the voodoo poison will infect you to a certain extent, so those who have mastered witchcraft are all stubborn people."

Ji Ruxue thought about it and agreed: "So that's how it is. That Du Gong is only thirty years old, no wonder he looks so old."

"Really?" Xian Shen was very satisfied with Xiao Yan, and continued to explain to Chi Meng, "Compared with witchcraft and Gu Shu, witchcraft is actually stronger than Gu Shu. All things have spirits, which means that all things can be witchcraft, but Gu Shu needs insects as the medium. Your father told me that the reason why Chi Li wanted to practice witchcraft was because of this."

"And the Twelve Caves do not force people to learn witchcraft. Of course, I am better at witchcraft, but I also know a little bit of witchcraft. The simple withering technique is easy for me. As for what Chi Li did to your father, I haven't found out yet. You will know after your father wakes up."

Hearing this, Chi Meng suddenly realized.

At the same time, Chi Meng felt somewhat relieved. She glanced at Xian Shen secretly and saw that although the latter's face was a little dirty under her messy hair, her skin was actually very good and her appearance was also particularly well-proportioned. If she cleaned herself up properly, she might look like a woman in her twenties.

Even though Chi Meng temporarily couldn't accept that her mother who had been 'dead' for more than ten years was actually imprisoned in the Dead Creek Forest, if she had a choice, she certainly didn't want her mother to become an old turtle like the poisonous turtle in her thirties.

Seeing that Chi Meng stopped talking again, Xian Shen scratched his messy hair and looked at Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue helplessly.

Ji Ruxue was a little embarrassed. The relationship between Xian Shen and Chi Meng was actually very easy to get along with. However, the Gu King had been soaked in a pool by Xian Shen and had not yet awakened. Without such a middleman, the progress between the two would not be fast. This was not something that outsiders like them could help with with a few words.

Xiao Yan smiled and took the initiative to tell Xian Can about what he had seen and heard along the way. Of course, most of them were about Chi Meng, such as Chi Meng's plan to go to the Central Plains alone to find a way to rescue the Gu King, and his deeds of rescuing the villagers in Zangke Village, etc.

Xian Shen listened with great interest and was reluctant to miss a single word.

Chi Meng felt a little embarrassed, but of course she didn't blame Xiao Guoguo. She also inexplicably felt that it would be more interesting and easier for Xiao Guoguo to tell these things than for her to tell them to the Gu King or... her mother someday. The only thing was that she was a little shy.

As a result, the atmosphere between the few people, or between Chi Meng and Xian Shen, finally relaxed a little and was no longer as stiff as before.

And according to Xian Shen, if the Gu King wanted to recover, he would have to soak in the pool for at least a day and a night, so naturally, the few of them did not continue to wait in the middle of the night, and each of them spread out the carpet to rest.

Hou Qing slept alone on a treetop high outside the temple, as if he was keeping watch for a few people.

As for whether Chi Meng or Xian Shen fell asleep that night, Xiao Yan didn't need to care. He just went to visit the Dan tribe without stopping.

As the only tribe in the Dead Creek Forest, the Dan Tribe has a vast territory, but due to the environment of the Dead Creek Forest, there are only a few thousand people in the tribe. Leaving aside the elderly, the weak, women and children, there are only two or three hundred real warriors like Tulashi or Migeshu.

In the past, the old patriarch of the Dan tribe would never allow his tribe to confront a behemoth like the Ten Thousand Poison Cave head-on. However, because Xian Shen personally appeared to explain, and Xiao Yan came to visit him, he understood that this was the Dan tribe's last chance. If they waited until the Poison Lord's plan was completed, the Dan tribe would have no way out.

Maybe the entire Dan clan will become a god of war controlled by Du Gong.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yan arrived, the old patriarch immediately finalized the plan with him, and even all the members participated in the battle. Then he personally escorted Xiao Yan back to the temple, saying that he wanted to pay homage to the god Xian Shen.

On the second night, the Gu King woke up.

What is even more strange is that after the originally skinny Gu King woke up from the pond, his body shape had returned to normal. Except for some of his hair and beard that were still a little dry and white, he was no different from an ordinary person.

"Cough cough cough..."

After the Gu King returned to normal, Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue were able to truly see his appearance. He was no more than 35 years old, and looked very healthy, with a peaceful look and a righteous expression. As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart, and this is exactly what it means.

"Daughter..."

Although the Gu King seemed unconscious before, he was actually still conscious, but he was just too weak. Therefore, he had a vague impression of what he had experienced along the way, so he was not surprised by the surroundings. However, when he saw Chi Meng, who had already sniffed her nose to hold back her tears, his eyes reddened.

However, when he had just asked Chi Meng a few questions, the Gu King was stunned and looked at the three people behind Chi Meng, especially Hou Qing, who had fluttering clothes and a handsome face.

"Hou...Brother Hou?"

Chi Meng was shocked. She didn't expect that her cheap apprentice was actually telling the truth and actually knew her father. From the looks of it, they were old friends? !

However, Hou Qing reacted quickly, and immediately took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed to the Gu King, and said seriously: "Greetings, Master."

Chi Meng let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was fortunate that he would have to call his little disciple Uncle Hou...

The Gu King was stunned again, and obviously hadn't reacted yet, and then he heard Hou Qing continue: "Master, from now on, you can call me your disciple. Master, you have just recovered from your illness, and your disciple has a tonic here, please..."

Unexpectedly, before Hou Qing finished speaking, several people's eyes blurred at the same time, and they saw a figure falling from the sky. In an instant, he slapped the Gu King into the ground with a slap, so hard that the Gu King fell face down. The man didn't care about his "recovery from illness" at all.

Hou Qing remained calm, quietly put away the package he had just taken out, stepped back a few steps, and watched his master get beaten.

Chi Meng had already been stunned.

The fresh ginseng that fell from the sky seemed to vent all its anger that had been pent up for a long time on the Gu King. It pressed the back of the Gu King's head and said angrily: "Chi Li, if I had known you were so useless, I should not have sent the girl to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the Gu King by his hair and lifted him up, walking back and forth angrily: "I've told you to be careful of that bastard Chi Li. How dare you leave the girl alone in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave? It's okay if you die, but who will protect my girl? And the girl is going to the Central Plains alone, and you really didn't leave anyone to follow her? You don't even have a subordinate. How can you be a Gu King like this!!"

“I’m so pissed off!!”

The Gu King calmly wiped away the blood from his nose, then said guiltily: "It was my fault that I failed to protect the girl, and I underestimated Chi Li's ambition. I didn't expect that all the people I left behind to assist the girl would be killed by Chi Li... That's all, but now I think that the girl might be able to stay away from Chi Li if she went to Central Plains..." "I won't listen!" Xian Shen turned around and slapped the Gu King back into the ground.

Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue raised their eyebrows and turned their backs at the same time, as if they didn't see this scene.

However, Xian Shen was thinking of giving him another kick to vent his anger, but his action suddenly stopped and he turned away in confusion.

Chi Meng tugged at her clothes, feeling a little embarrassed, but still whispered: "Don't hit Dad...Mom..."

Xian Shen's head froze for a moment, as if he had just heard the word "Mom". He could not help but smile instantly, and then pulled up Gu Wang with a stern face, gently wiped the blood from his nose, and snorted: "For the sake of the girl, I won't settle this account with you!"

However, Xian Shen's movements were gentle, but her expression was vicious. King Gu felt a little scalp-tingling. He hadn't seen Xian Shen for a long time, but he was afraid that this woman would lose her temper. So he immediately said to Chi Meng, "My daughter, from now on, your father will protect you and will never let you suffer any grievances... Of course, your mother will also protect you."

He rubbed his aching face, and his forehead also hurt a little. He hadn't seen it for many years, and he clearly remembered that the fresh ginseng back then was not so violent.

"Humph, you are so useless, why do you need my protection?"

Xian Can hesitated for a moment, then his heart twisted, he grabbed Chi Meng's hand, pointed at Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue and said: "All along the way, it was these girls who were taken care of by A Lang and A Ya, they are much better than you!"

Chi Meng was a little stiff because of being held by the fresh ginseng, but he nodded heavily when he heard this and introduced them to the Gu King: "Dad, this is Xiao Yan, the little pot, and Ji Ruxue, the little sister. It's all thanks to them that we were able to rescue you! Oh, and your grand disciple, he also contributed a lot."

"You are so shameless..." The Gu King subconsciously wanted to scold him, but immediately saw Xian Shen protecting his daughter, and his momentum dropped. He had no choice but to accept Hou Qing as his 'disciple' with a smile, and then bowed seriously to Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue.

"Chi Li thanks you two for your trouble along the way."

Ji Ruxue dodged to the side and did not accept the greeting. Xiao Yan was casual and said with a smile: "King Gu, you don't have to be polite. We have received a lot of help from Chi Meng along the way. If it weren't for Chi Meng, we might have been confused by these 100,000 mountains. Not to mention other places, we can't do without Chi Meng."

Xian Shen squinted at the Gu King and snorted.

Look, look, how nicely this Alang speaks, unlike you, who makes it sound as if our girl has been just a burden all the way.

Seeing this, Xian Shen was becoming more and more satisfied with Xiao Yan. He was good-looking, tactful, and most importantly, capable. Not only could he protect Chi Meng, but he also had some connections with the old man Li Jian. He seemed to have a good relationship with his elders, so it was obvious that he was doing well in the Central Plains...

It's the little girl next to him. She seems a little difficult to deal with...

Xian Shen was a little worried, but then she thought that using her brain was not something she was good at, so she would just leave this matter to Chi Li. If he didn't come up with a proper solution, she would beat him up!
Although it was only the first day of being a real mother, Xian Can could see through her daughter's thoughts at a glance. She really wanted to be Xiao Yan's follower. It was too obvious.

Xian Shen was an experienced person and he knew very well that once love was planted, there would always be no beginning or end. Maybe the girl herself could not realize the power of this love. Back then, Xian Shen almost knocked the Gu King unconscious and took him back to get married.

But what does Xiao Yan think of our girl...

Fresh ginseng thinks it remains to be seen.

Even if you want to be a mistress, both parties have to be in love with each other.

Who asked that Miss Ji to be one step ahead of his own daughter? Xian Shen has never had the principle of splitting up others and giving his own daughter a better deal.

The Gu King was naturally very satisfied with Xiao Yan. Not only was he born with an imposing manner, he was also a generous person, and one could tell at first glance that he was a real man. Isn't this why elders like their juniors? Not to mention the great favor of taking care of their own daughter, even if that wasn't the case, the Gu King estimated that he would get along well with this A Lang in terms of temperament.

Thinking of this, the Gu King sat down around the campfire with a few people, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is really..."

Xian Shen, who had already thought of the depths, became furious upon hearing this and immediately stepped hard on the instep of the Gu King.

The Gu King felt the pain, but he immediately understood his wife's thoughts, so he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed the words he had not yet uttered. Then he smiled, touched Chi Meng's head, and said, "It seems that my daughter has grown up..."

Chi Meng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I am no longer a child, okay!"

Everyone laughed at the same time.

After a brief greeting, Xian Shen first helped King Gu check his body again. King Gu also checked his own body. After confirming that there was no witchcraft seed, they talked about the current situation.

"This item in the God of War is unusual. I noticed Chi Li's intention to get it a few years ago, so I warned him. After that, Chi Li gave up and no longer had any interest in it."

The Gu King said slowly, "Later, he planted the withering spell in me. By the time I realized it, it was too late to save me. I had to secretly ask people around me to find a chance to take Chi Meng away from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. Unexpectedly, all these things happened afterwards... Alas, in the end, it was all because of me that implicated everyone. If I hadn't insisted on believing in Chi Li all these years, he wouldn't have had the chance to do this."

"It's obvious that the poisonous turtle has no conscience!" Chi Meng said bitterly, "He can even kill his own brother. Dad, do you know that if Xiao Guoguo and the others hadn't rescued you, you would have been killed by the poisonous turtle!"

Xian Shen sneered and stretched: "I have said it before, your brother is very dangerous."

The Gu King sighed and did not comment.

"It's not because of you, Gu King." At this time, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke.

Several people were attracted to him, even Ji Ruxue was a little confused.

Xiao Yan said: "All the inductions are due to the bad commander, Yuan Tiangang."

The Gu King's pupils shrank.

Xiao Yan did not stop talking, and continued: "If it weren't for Yuan Tiangang's support behind the scenes, this disaster of the god of war would have erupted sooner or later, but at least it wouldn't have happened so quickly, and Lord Du would never have been so determined to plan all of this."

The Gu King thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, Chi Li's preparations are still hasty. Based on my understanding of him, if he really wants to plot the Battle God Altar, he will not leave us time to react. By then, the Battle God's disaster will come in waves..."

Xiao Yan said: "That's why this is our chance, our chance to stop everything."

The Gu King was excited when he heard this, but at the same time he was a little hesitant: "Ah Lang means that you can fight for a place with the Bad Commander..."

Chi Meng immediately became energetic and said, "Dad, you don't know how powerful Xiao Guoguo is. We have long..."

Xiao Yan interrupted her with a smile, and then said to the Gu King seriously: "Everything has been prepared by me, but there is only one thing that requires the Gu King to do his best."

Several people were stunned, and the Gu King looked even more serious. He sat up straight and put his hands on his knees: "Alang, please speak."

"The great witchcraft formation of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave." Xiao Yan said word by word, "Can the Gu King break one or two of them? The troops supporting the Saint will arrive soon."

The Gu King was stunned.

He stared into Xiao Yan's eyes and clearly heard the word "holy lady" instead of the word "Poison King".

Xiao Yan did not avoid and kept staring at the Gu King.

Suddenly, the Gu King laughed out loud.

"Why not?"

------

The sky was dark and the sun had not yet risen, and the entire temple was empty in an instant.

Only Xian Can stood on the road in front of the temple, watching the crowd disperse and leaving. He smacked his lips, with an indescribable emotion on his face.

Suddenly, Xian Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, without concealing his aura at all.

Behind her, a black-robed figure stood quietly, with only a dark shadow beneath the hood.

But in just a moment, Xian Shen's figure suddenly relaxed, and then he frowned and stared at the man: "Why are you here?"

The Eleventh Cave Lord lifted his hood and just stroked his beard. Then he looked in the direction of the Dead Creek Forest leading to the outside world, and stood beside Xian Shen with his hands behind his back.

"The Great Lord has something to say."

"Your self-imprisonment is over. From now on, there will be no more fresh ginseng in the Twelve Caves."
