After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 636 The cause of Xue Chonghua’s death, someone from Raojiang comes!
"Master, have you thought of a way to cure the bugs?" Chen Yang looked at the golden bowl placed in front of the Buddha.

"Ugh."

Xuan Jing sighed and shook her head. "It can be cured, but the risk is too great. The gain does not outweigh the loss."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang was a little curious, "Risk? What risk?"

Xuan Jing said, "My two brothers and I have come up with a plan. We will suppress it under the Golden Summit Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Ten Directions Golden Elephant Pagoda and use the incense and offerings from all living beings to dissipate its hostility. It will take at most three to five years, and maybe we can convert it..."

"Golden roof?"

When Yuan Long heard this, his expression changed visibly, "Uncle Master, this risk is indeed too great."

The Golden Summit Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Ten-Directions Golden Elephant Pagoda is a major tourist attraction in Emei Mountain, and countless tourists go there to worship it every day.

There are people coming and going here. If you keep such a dangerous thing here, it would be fine if nothing happens. But if something does happen, who can take responsibility?
Xuan Jing rolled her eyes at Yuan Long and said, "Do you really need to say more? I've said it from the beginning that this method is feasible, but it is extremely risky."

Chen Yang asked, "Master, what does salvation mean?"

"literal meaning."

Xuan Jing said, "This insect has a lot of evil spirit in it. If I can eliminate the evil spirit in it and cultivate some Buddha nature in it, I can save its life and let it be a guardian spirit insect in my Emei..."

"Once its evil spirit disappears, its strength will inevitably decline. If it still refuses to change, I will perform a ritual to save it..."

……

Chen Yang nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Since this method is very risky, it will definitely not work.

So, let’s be frank and return this hot potato to where it came from.

Send it back to the underground palace to suppress it. The underground palace has the conditions for doing so anyway.

And now, according to the request of Zhenren Woyun, the temple sends high monks in the realm of creation to the underground palace to chant scriptures and convert the Three Corpse Trees every month.

Measuring one is a measure, measuring two is also a measure. Putting this insect in the underground palace will reduce the risk.

Xuan Jing meant to go now, immediately, and right away.

He suffered serious internal injuries in yesterday's battle. He needs to resolve this matter as soon as possible so that he can return to retreat and heal his injuries.

Chen Yang had no objection either.

One reason is that I want to get the illustration reward of the King of Heaven Gu.

Secondly, I wanted to find Master Wo Yun to ask about the information of the [Three One Five Tooth Sutra].

The third is to find the real body of the Three Corpses Divine Tree and ask it to help read Xue Chonghua’s memory.

The Shanshi worm was dying, half alive. If Chen Yang hadn't given it some [Insect Growth Essence] from time to time, the worm would have died long ago.

Once the bugs died, the Three Corpses Divine Tree could no longer retrieve their memories.

So, Chen Yang was in a hurry.

……

Luoshan, Zhao family.

In the side hall, an elegant old man sat in the main seat, drinking tea from a covered bowl slowly.

Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Jiye stood respectfully in the hall, reporting something carefully.

"Bang..."

The old man suddenly threw the tea bowl in his hand away. The bowl fell at the feet of the two men, and the tea leaves and tea spilled all over the floor.

"Stupid, bastard!"

The old man snorted coldly, and the aura of the Creation Realm radiated from his body.

"Grandpa (great grandpa)..."

Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Jiye were so frightened that they knelt down almost subconsciously.

"Humph!"

The old man seemed to be a little unhappy. He grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it to the ground.

The scalding tea splashed on the two of them, and they didn't even dare to scream.

"How long have I been away? Look at what you have done to this house?"

The old man tried hard to calm down his anger, but still couldn't help but scold.

He just went out to find a place to break through to the Fate Realm, which only took a few months. He was fine when he left, but almost dead when he came back home.

The refined iron was stolen, the thief cried "stop thief", the mine exploded, and the association's commissioner was almost killed.

What are these unfilial descendants doing?

Also, the Zhao family was bullied by someone, but they didn’t dare to say a word and still apologized to the person?

When has the Zhao family of Luoshan ever been so cowardly?

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel furious.

Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Jiye lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Looking at the appearance of his two grandsons, the old man became even more furious.

His eyes fell on Zhao Jiye, "Where's your grandfather?"

Zhao Jiye came back to his senses and said quickly, "Grandpa went out a few days ago. He said he was going to meet some friends."

The old man frowned deeply when he heard this, "With such a big incident at home, how can he still be in the mood to meet his friends? Call him and ask him to come back."

"The phone is not connected. I, I can't contact him either." Zhao Jiye said weakly.

"you……"

The old man was angry again. There was nothing left on the table to throw, so he slammed the table with his palm.

There was a bang.

The table fell apart.

Both of them were trembling with fear, as if they were facing a ferocious tiger, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"The younger ones are useless, and the older ones are not doing their jobs properly. Do you want to piss me off to death? Get out of here."

The old man roared, completely different from his elegant image.

The two were about to leave when they were stopped by the old man.

"Tomorrow, there will be Xue Chonghua's funeral. Who of you two will go?" the old man asked in a deep voice.

"This……"

When the two heard this, they were stunned.

After a while of pushing each other around, Zhao Daqiang said with a stiff upper lip, "Grandpa, either of us can go, but if both of us go to that kind of event, won't it be insignificant and a loss of face for our Zhao family?"

What is Xue Chonghua’s identity?
Those who will attend tomorrow's funeral will either be powerful figures or senior masters. It's no big deal for the Zhao family to send a junior there.

Being embarrassed is a small matter, but the big thing is that people will think that you look down on the Xue family.

The old man had a dark face and looked at Zhao Daqiang with cold eyes, "Then tell me, besides you, who else in our family can go?"

Both of them were stunned.

In the past few days, Zhao Junyong has been missing, and Zhao Xiangdong and Zhao Weiguo are still being detained in the Mountain-Ganning Association. No one knows what the situation is.

The association blocked the news of Zhao Xiangdong's death, and Zhao Weiguo was detained in the Ganshan Association on the grounds of cooperating with the investigation. The Zhao family tried every means to find out the situation, but failed to find out anything.

So, there is no one else in the Zhao family. If they don’t go, will Zhao Daqiang’s good-for-nothing younger brother Zhao Dabao go?

Zhao Dabao raised his head and looked at the old man, "Grandpa, you..."

He wanted to say, can't you go?
"Humph."

The old man snorted coldly, "I have something else important to do tomorrow. If you feel that going alone is not enough, then two of you can go together. Also, don't tell anyone that I'm back and have broken through to the Creation Realm."

"This……"

Both of them were stunned.

Why not say it?
Creation Realm, in that kind of situation, if we reveal this news, won’t our Zhao family have more face?

"Yes!"

Although they had doubts in their hearts, the two of them felt the pressure from the old man and quickly shrank their necks.

No matter why, just execute it.

"What was the name of the young man who came to bully you just now?" asked the old man.

Zhao Jiye said, "The surname is Chen, and it seems that they are from Jiapigou, Lingjiang. It is said that their ancestors had some conflicts with our family."

The old man frowned slightly.

Obviously he already has an idea in mind.

"Your grandfather is not his opponent?" the old man asked in a deep voice. Zhao Jiye said quickly, "My grandfather has just broken through the Creation Realm and is still in the weak stage. His strength is limited..."

"I ask you, is your grandfather a match for him?" The old man glared and said, "All I want is the result. Why are you giving so many excuses?"
"No."

Zhao Jiye shook his head. "None of us can defeat him, including my grandfather. Even with the spiritual insects, we are still no match for him. If it weren't for Mr. Xue Chonghua who happened to be there, who knows what the result would be..."

The old man frowned when he heard this.

Zhao Daqiang said, "Grandpa, are you going to cause trouble for this guy? My brother Dabao was beaten to a pulp by him and is still lying in the hospital..."

"idiot."

The old man yelled, "You don't even know where the other party came from. You deserve to die."

Zhao Daqiang was suddenly speechless.

"Don't worry about this. Wait until your second grandfather comes back."

Your grandfather couldn't be his opponent, how could I be his opponent? You want me to deliver it, am I an idiot?

The old man waved his hand and said, "There will be distinguished guests coming soon. Please keep your eyes open and give them a good reception."

"Yes."

"get out!"

……

The two men turned around and ran away as if they had been pardoned.

……

-

Jianmen Mountain, Lijia Village.

At the foot of the steep and majestic Jianmen Mountain, there is a large manor.

The Li family became famous for cultivating spiritual plants, and their ancestral spiritual plant cultivation techniques are truly unique.

This place is blessed with unique geographical advantages, being located on the land vein of Jianmen Mountain. The Li family has occupied and developed this place for hundreds of years, and has remained prosperous, firmly sitting on the throne of the number one family among the eight veins of Panshan in Shu.

There are hundreds of acres of fertile land around Lijia Village, all planted with medicinal herbs.

There are various types and they are very close to many well-known domestic pharmaceutical companies.

Among the eight clans, the Li family is one of the more low-key ones.

After experiencing a spiritual plant rebellion several decades ago, the Li family was severely damaged. They had to start all over again and were not as ostentatious as before. For decades, they had been keeping a low profile.

However, the Li family's low-keyness is only on the surface. In recent years, the Li family has been focusing on development and has cultivated many powerful spiritual masters. The cooperation with the Hu family has also made them earn a lot of money. Their ambitions are slowly awakening and expanding, and they have also done many dirty and shameful things in secret.

Halfway up the mountain, in a pavilion, two old men were sitting opposite each other, sipping a pot of tea.

"Good tea."

A thin old man in gray picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

The square-faced old man opposite smiled and said, "This is the high mountain cloud tea produced in our Jianmen Mountain. I kneaded it myself a few days ago. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Yuan..."

"Brother Li, do you have this skill? When I return to Raojiang, I will shamelessly ask you for a few pounds and bring them back to the brothers in the sect to have a taste."

"Haha, Brother Yuan, as long as you don't mind, I'll take care of you." The square-faced old man laughed.

The old man surnamed Yuan also smiled, and after a moment, he restrained his smile and said, "Let's get back to the point, Brother Li, I came to see you today mainly for two things."

Upon hearing this, the square-faced old man also sat up straight.

The old man surnamed Yuan said, "Xue Chonghua is dead, you should know that, right?"

"Ugh."

The square-faced old man sighed when he heard this, "What a pity, Brother Xue is a good man. I am also going to his memorial service tomorrow. Brother Yuan is going too?"

"Oh, good man."

A frost suddenly covered the face of the old man surnamed Yuan. "Do you know how he died?"

"Ok?"

The square-faced old man was stunned for a moment. "He is almost a hundred years old. For an ordinary person to live to his age, it is already long enough. He must have died of old age. Is there any other secret?"

The old man surnamed Yuan nodded slightly. "A few days ago, he went to our Raojiang and ran to the Spirit Snake Cave. While Sect Leader Murong was away, he tricked the younger generation in the village into taking him to the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Snake Cave. Not only did he steal a treasure in the cave, he also pulled out the life-locking nail that suppressed a ferocious beast in the cave. Fortunately, Sect Leader Qiao and his men arrived in time, otherwise, a disaster would have almost occurred, and Xue Chonghua would have escaped in the chaos..."

The square-faced old man was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother Yuan, are you sure you are talking about Xue Chonghua?" After a while, the square-faced old man said.

"Who else could it be if not him? If he hadn't pulled out the nail that locked his life, how could he have died so suddenly?" The old man surnamed Yuan was a little angry.

"I see."

The square-faced old man suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xue Chonghua died so suddenly. It turned out that he had pulled out the nail that locked his life without knowing the consequences.

Can you just pull that thing out? If you pull it out, it will cost you your lifespan.

He is an ordinary man who is nearly a hundred years old. If he pulls out that thing, isn't that simply seeking death?

Then the square-faced old man asked in confusion, "What treasure did he steal? Why did he do this?"

In his impression, Xue Chonghua is not a thief.

The old man Yuan's words somewhat disappointed his worldview.

Xue Chonghua traveled a long way to the Lingshe Cave, one of the thirty-six caves in Raojiang, stole people's things, and even risked his life to release the ferocious beast suppressed in the cave.

This doesn't fit Xue Chonghua's character at all.

The old man surnamed Yuan shook his head. "It's a jade pendant in the shape of a dragon. But Master Qiao didn't tell me what it was used for. I only know that it is very important to my Gushen Cult..."

"Jade pendant?"

"Master Qiao sent me to Shu first, first, to confirm whether Xue Chonghua is really dead, and second, to find the whereabouts of the jade pendant..."

"Brother Yuan, although Xue Chonghua is dead, the influence of the Xue family is still there. There are many forces protecting the Xue family openly or secretly. If you want to take action against the Xue family, I'm afraid... What's more, although Xue Chonghua is dead, he still has a younger brother who is a high monk in the Dharma Appearance Temple on Mount Kongtang. Just based on this relationship..." The square-faced old man seemed to have anticipated what the other party wanted to say and gave him a shot of prevention in advance.

"Of course I know this."

The old man surnamed Yuan nodded. "That's why I feel this is a difficult situation. I've just arrived and don't have any background, so I thought of you. There's not much you can do about this matter. It's not convenient for me to appear at Xue Chonghua's memorial service, so I need you to go there in person. First, find out if Xue Chonghua is really dead. Second, find out who Xue Chonghua had contact with before his death and who he gave the dragon-shaped jade pendant to..."

"This……"

The square-faced old man was in a dilemma. "I will definitely go to the memorial service, but there will probably be a lot of people there. I'm afraid..."

The old man surnamed Yuan glanced at him and knew very well that he didn't want anyone to know that he had any connection with the Gu God Cult.

So, being associated with our Gu Shen Cult is a very shameful thing?
"Brother Li, I won't let you do this in vain."

The old man surnamed Yuan interrupted him directly.

"Oh?"

The square-faced old man was startled, thinking that he was going to give him some benefit.

The old man surnamed Yuan waved his hand, asked him to come over, and whispered something in his ear.

"what?"

The square-faced old man's expression suddenly changed, and his voice became several times louder. "How can this be possible? No, absolutely not."

"Li Changfu!"

The old man surnamed Yuan straightened his face and said, "This is not my intention, but the intention of the leader. It will not change because of our will. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything. Don't worry that you will be implicated."

Li Changfu's face flushed red. "He is just a lunatic. He has been mentally ill for a long time. He is just a useless person. What use do you have for him?"

"Oh, insane? A useless person?"

The old man surnamed Yuan sneered, "What you think is just what you think. How can you possibly know the truth? Now that Deputy Sect Leader Murong is dead, the position of Deputy Sect Leader is vacant. The Sect Leader has issued a decree to let him take over the position of Right Deputy Sect Leader. Brother Li, you should be happy..."

Li Changfu looked gloomy and sat woodenly on the chair. "Brother Yuan, you are pushing our Li family into the fire pit."

"what."

The old man surnamed Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother, think positively. From the moment you chose to accept the gift from the Divine Religion and joined the Divine Religion, you have no way out. Behind you is a cliff thousands of feet high. If you take a step back, you will be doomed. Although there is a pit of fire ahead, there is still a glimmer of hope. Maybe you can be reborn from the ashes?"

Li Changfu was silent, very silent.

"I think you don't want to experience the power of the Discipline Worm, right?" The old man surnamed Yuan said suddenly.

When he said this, there was a flash of fear on the old man surnamed Yuan's face.

Li Changfu's face was full of struggle. "Brother Yuan, you don't know that now, the Hu family and the Ding family have fallen in the Panshan Eight Veins. The association wants to reshape the Panshan world in Shu. Our Li family has been targeted for a long time. During this period, many younger generations in my family..."

"okay."

The old man surnamed Yuan interrupted him and looked straight at him, "Brother Li, you are talking about how difficult it is for you, but how can it be easy for me? There is no regret medicine in this world. You can't have it all. Now that you have successfully broken through the realm of creation and got what you wanted, what's wrong with doing something for the Divine Religion? I'm not asking you to sacrifice your life for it."

Li Changfu smiled bitterly, "I am a naturally timid person. Now I am thinking about how to surrender to the association and avoid this reckoning. If the association knows that I am working for the Gu God Cult, I am really scared..."

"Row."

The old man surnamed Yuan said, "If that's the case, then I can only report the truth to the church. I can't guarantee you what the consequences will be."
