Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 325 Yaksha Jade Crocodile
"It's an easy deal, but you don't have the courage to do it, fellow Taoist!" The image of the dead Niu Gui'er became vivid in Kang Dabao's mind, and the mockery and contempt in his tone did not diminish at all.

"She is the Lu Ding who ran away from the Yuan family and was cheated of her bonus by Yuan Feng!" Kang Dabao's pupils trembled and he almost cried out in surprise.

He had seen the arrest notice in the past and had some inappropriate thoughts in his mind, but he never thought that one day he would really face the cauldron.

Come to think of it, twenty years have passed since the last time I talked about this with Niu Guier.

Was she taken into the bed by Yuan Feng, or was she coerced by him? According to the character of the head of Kang Da, even if he knew, he would not care.

However, the identity of the blue-clothed female cultivator made him feel a little embarrassed: "The six-leaf green lotus seal, the female cultivator of the Zhang family is from the same clan as Zhang Zushi. Then she was looking at me before, and then lifted the corner of her clothes. Was she asking me for help?"

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Qing noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.

Kang Dabao hadn't figured out the matter yet and didn't want to say more. He just shook his head and said nothing more.

Xu Liuxian was not much younger than the other three people present combined, but he was the most impatient. Seeing that the cultivators from other sects had already passed the test, he became a little anxious.

At this moment, he did not care that he was just a supplementary figure, and whispered to the Black Shoe Taoist: "Fellow Daoist Black Shoe, let's go in too."

After hearing the voice, the Taoist Hei Lu came back to his senses from his deep thoughts. He turned to the three people and said calmly: "Yuan Feng, Yue Lan, and Lang Yi are all extraordinary foundation builders. You can't defeat them. If you meet them, don't be lucky and just run away."

After explaining everything that needed to be said, the Taoist in Black Shoes said no more. He just led the way into the mirror, and everyone followed closely behind him.

It was not until the last leader, Kang Da, came into view that the Yin-Yang fish chasing each other stopped, and it did not disappear until the light faded away.

The water is still clear and turbulent, and the bright moon is still like a silver plate.

——Inside Guanshan Cave

"Sizzle." A yaksha with slanted eyes and sharp teeth used its sharp claws to leave three scratches on Qi Buxiu's top-grade golden bell.

The golden bell, which had been nurtured for many years, trembled slightly under the enemy's bombardment, and Qi Buxiu, who was hiding inside it, trembled even more violently. The jade pendant hanging around his waist had turned blood red, revealing its owner's anxious mood at the moment.

The Yaksha opposite him flapped his wings, a hint of cruelty flashed in his triangular eyes, and a sneering laugh came out of his mouth from time to time.

It was not an ignorant and stupid creature like those low-level monsters. It had lived in this cave for more than a thousand years and it was rare for it to encounter such weak prey. Thinking that it could eat it without spending much fighting effort, it naturally became happy from the bottom of its heart.

The Yaksha pulled its fascia and exerted its wings violently, and two more black wind blades crossed and hit the golden bell. Deep marks appeared on the surface of the golden bell again, and suddenly the face of Qi Buxiu inside turned red.

Master Qi had been in Yunjiao Province for decades, so it was impossible for him to live entirely on Chu Yanran's reputation. After all, he was a ruthless character who grew up by constantly changing wives. When the situation became critical, the ruthlessness that was inherent in his casual cultivation background was aroused!

He forced himself to swallow the blood in his mouth, and a fierce light flashed in Qi Buxiu's eyes.

The Yaksha laughed even louder, revealing a mouth full of yellow and smelly fangs, and waving its two sharp claws that were emitting black light, it pounced towards the golden bell, but halfway through, it saw a golden light emerging from the golden bell.

The Yaksha was startled, not expecting that the prey could fight back. Seeing that the golden light was quite powerful, he quickly retracted his claws and crossed his wings behind him to protect himself.

Then the golden light was cast on the wings of the Yaksha, instantly piercing through the membrane of the wings. The pair of iron wings that the Yaksha used to be proud of, which could split mountains and rocks, became as thin as a layer of paper. After being penetrated by the golden light, the Yaksha's basin-sized head was directly facing the sharp golden light.

"Bang." The Yaksha's head suddenly exploded like a soup dumpling with thin skin and large fillings, and juice splashed everywhere.

A Yaksha at the peak of Qi training, facing a second-grade intermediate-grade Sharp Golden Moon Spear Talisman that costs 820 spirit stones, it would be strange if he could still survive.

"You bastard!" Qi Buxiu took off the golden bell and looked at the body of Yaksha with hatred. Eight hundred and twenty spirit stones! How many years of forging iron will it take for you to earn that much?
Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief and pick the suitable materials from the Yaksha, I heard the sound of fighting again nearby.

Qi Buxiu used his spiritual sense to investigate and saw a large group of Yakshas, ​​perhaps a dozen or twenty in number, screaming in fear and being chased after by a swordsman in black.

The black-clad swordsman had a cold expression on his face, standing leisurely in mid-air, the flying sword in his hand like a whip to urge sheep to retreat.

The flying sword in his hand was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, and he dodged various valuable parts of the Yaksha's body while dodging and often piercing their vital points with one sword, knocking them down one by one and making them fall to the ground.

It can be described as effortless and carefree.

Qi Buxiu's heart trembled, and before he could use the talisman to conceal his breath, he was spotted by the black-clad swordsman.

"Junior greets Master Qi." The black-clad swordsman spoke in a calm voice, and despite his status as a foundation-building master, he bowed to Qi Bushixing.

"It's Brother Qing, it's Senior Jiang." Qi Buxiu recognized that the handsome swordsman in front of him was his own junior brother Jiang Qing who taught him martial arts. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease.

Fortunately, I had a good relationship with his family before, and they became allies after entering the cave, so I didn't worry about Jiang Qing trying to kill me. But the latter's swordsmanship seemed to be much more powerful than what my wife said.

"I don't deserve it. Senior, you have been very kind to me in the past, and I am grateful for that. I hope you won't follow the example of those vulgar people."

Jiang Qing had a sincere expression, and continued, "Senior and I are unlucky. We were teleported to the South Ghost Cave. Although there are fewer dangers, there are fewer treasures in the cave. We must find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise, apart from these stupid Yakshas, ​​I am afraid there will be nothing else to gain."

Qi Buxiu felt that Jiang Qing's tone did not sound fake, but he did not have the courage to be a senior to a true cultivator who had established his foundation.

He was just sighing at the impermanence of life, and the scene of Yuan Jin bringing his fellow apprentices to the Qi family to present gifts emerged in his mind again. It really seemed like a lifetime ago.

After Master Qi calmed down, he replied softly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is right. My wife told me before that if we are teleported to the South Ghost Cave, we only need to find the place where the six-leaf orchid grows and head north to enter the Moon Palace in the center of the Guanshan Cave."

"Oh?" Jiang Qing showed a happy expression. At this moment, he no longer cared about Qi Buxiu's address. He continued, "Since it is what Madam Qi said, then it must be correct. Senior, you must go out with me."

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. When I meet my wife, I will definitely let her thank you handsomely." Qi Buxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Madam Qi and Taoist Heilius had agreed to form an alliance in the cave, it was only a gentleman's alliance after all, without even a signed signature. Therefore, he was really afraid that Jiang Qing, who had established his foundation, would leave him, a burden, and go alone.

"You are too polite, senior. It's nothing to mention." Jiang Qing smiled easily without saying much. Qi Buxiu also looked embarrassed, and was so awkward that he didn't know how to speak.

Jiang Qing's personality was very different from that of the smooth-talking Master Kang. Qi Buxiu had nothing to say, and Jiang Qing had no ability to find something to say, so the cave fell silent for a moment.

For a moment, the only sound in the cave was Jiang Qing picking up the corpse of the Yaksha.

Qi Buxiu was also impressed by Jiang Qing's skillful movements. He thought that Jiang Qing must have hunted many monsters in recent years. His skills were so proficient that he could be compared with several famous butchers that Qi Buxiu knew. Disassembling a monster's body was a technical job. The same monster's body could be dissected by a novice and an experienced worker. The value of the latter's dissection might be 50% higher than that of the former.

Although these first-level Yellow-fanged Yakshas are notoriously worthless, they are numerous and can be worth some money when added together.

Jiang Qing, the Chongming Sword Immortal, had a poor background, and even with the thrifty nature he learned from his own head brother, he couldn't just give it up. He even made some plans for dissecting these ugly creatures before he drew his sword.

In addition, his movements were very skilled, so it only took him half a quarter of an hour to clean up the pile of corpses of the Yellow-fanged Yakshas.

Qi Buxiu stood beside him, being as respectful as a junior, and did not say a word.

Jiang Qing's waist had another storage bag that bulged up, and he felt a little better, so he pulled Qi Buxiu along. Not long after, the two found a clump of six-leaf orchids.

This spiritual flower is not of high grade, but its growing conditions are rather harsh and it is quite rare in the outside world.

Its petals are colorless, tasteless, and thin like gauze. When the flowers bloom, they look like a beautiful girl holding her heart, like a beautiful woman in pain. Although they look beautiful, when mortals touch them, their skin will feel a slight burning sensation. Apart from being a favorite feed for many spirit beasts, they are not very useful.

The two were searching for the six-leaf orchid, and they killed and drove away several groups of Yakshas along the way. It took them another half a day to reach a green lake.

The water in the entire lake was thick and turbid, with the remains of Yaksha and many other monsters floating on it. The stench made Jiang Qing frown slightly.

He first used his breath-concealing skills to conceal himself and Qi Buxiu.

Immediately, a ray of silver light appeared at the edge of the black spots in Jiang Qing's eyes. He used the second-level spiritual eye technique to take a look. Although he still couldn't figure out how large the lake was, he easily found a large number of water beasts swimming under the lake.

Jiang Qing thought for a while and guessed:
"In his early years, Master Guanyu raised a group of green crocodile Taoist soldiers, but it is said that they were killed by the army of barbarian witches in the battle of Pingrong. The green crocodiles in this lake may be the descendants of the Taoist soldiers that Master Guanyu left in the cave."

"Qi has also heard of this Taoist army." Qi Buxiu couldn't see the situation in the water clearly, but he cooperated by taking a breath. "It is said that Guanyu Shangxiu used the Green Crocodile Taoist Army to fight with the barbarian General Zuo for nineteen days and nights before he killed the barbarian's golden elixir."

Jiang Qing shook his head and said, "Senior, this rumor is biased. According to the notes of our sect's ancestor Zhang, although the barbarian left general Wu Chi Na was defeated by Guan Yu Shang Xiu, he escaped unscathed in the end. Although Guan Yu Shang Xiu's cultivation was higher, he used many tricks to defeat the barbarian chief in that battle.

This green crocodile is just an ordinary Taoist soldier. Even if there are a few fake Dan demon generals in charge, at most it is just a more powerful method of Guanyu Shangxiu, which is far from being as magical as Daoyou said. "

"Since it was recorded by your ancestor, there must be no mistakes or omissions. I am grateful for your instruction." Qi Buxiu pretended to have gained enlightenment.

Jiang Qing had a cold expression and said nothing more after hearing what Master Qi said.

It would be fine if those little Qi-cultivating practitioners with no foundation believed such rumors, but Qi Buxiu said this simply to pretend to be stupid and set off Jiang Qing.

People who are good at doing such pleasing things are always very likable. No wonder among the tens of thousands of cultivators in the nearby states, only Master Qi can eat a bowl of such soft and fragrant rice.

What a pity, Qi Buxiu was just flirting with a blind man. Jiang Qing was one of the rare people who didn't like flattery, so his thoughts were of no use at all.

"Then I will try it out first." Qi Buxiu took a step forward and took out a black-glazed gold bowl.

Then Master Qi was seen pinching the lotus seal with his hands and changing his steps continuously. After a few breaths, the Buddha light gradually began to emerge around the black-glazed golden bowl. Qi Buxiu's face was pious, and there was a faint sound of Zen in his belly.

Until the Zen sounds became louder and louder, it was no longer noisy; the Buddha's light became brighter and brighter, but it was no longer dazzling.

Qi Buxiu, the old Taoist priest, unexpectedly showed a trace of holiness on his face. Jiang Qing was quite surprised and wondered where Qi Buxiu had learned the Buddhist cultivation skills from. They were rare in the nearby states.

Before I could dispel my doubts, I saw some small animals with shallow cultivation gradually crawling out of the lake. They seemed unable to find the source of the Buddha's light and Zen sound, so they had to bow and kowtow in the shallows.

During this time, a green crocodile came over from the lake, with a strange look in its eyes that was extremely anthropomorphic. The small animals that used to run for their lives when they saw it did not panic at all, and continued to bow to it.

Even when a small animal next to it was swallowed by the green crocodile, making sharp screams and being splashed by the juice of its companion, it just slightly turned sideways to avoid it, and it did not affect its movements at all.

Qi Buxiu's chanting stopped when there was only one little animal left on the beach. The green crocodile probably lost its patience or was full, so it returned to the lake, wagging its thick and fat tail.

Jiang Qing waited for a while, and when he saw Qi Buxiu put away the black bowl and opened his eyes, he asked, "Senior, did you gain anything?"

As soon as the black bowl was put away, the compassionate look on Qi Buxiu's face disappeared. When he heard the question, he said respectfully:

"Thank you for waiting for a long time, I have used Buddhist sound to ask these sixteen small animals and found out that this lake is probably a hundred miles in radius. There are about one or two hundred green crocodiles in the lake, including two or three second-level ones. There are also six or seven kinds of first-level monsters, all living in groups."

"In this case, it will be quite troublesome to cross the lake. How could such a big lake appear out of nowhere? My uncle and senior brothers never told me about it before they came." Jiang Qing sighed, and Qi Buxiu followed in silence.

Neither of them mentioned the method of flying over the lake, because according to previous people, flying in Guanshan Cave is very risky.

Not only are there several kinds of strong winds that are hard to see outside swirling up and down, and it is estimated that when they are powerful, even first-rate fake elixirs will find it difficult to resist them. In addition, there are souls that the fish-watching cultivator has captured from all over the world, and they are also wandering around the entire cave.

It was not Jiang Qing's character to sit and wait for death, so he tentatively swung out his flying sword, picked up a huge green crocodile from the lake and threw it at the feet of the two men.

Jiang Qing ignored the emotions of the evil beast, which was dancing with joy due to the great pain. He coldly used his fingers as a knife, cut open the flesh of the green crocodile in the air and began to study it.

In just a short while, the giant beast beside the two men lost its life, leaving only a pool of steaming flesh and bones.

Qi Buxiu was watching from the side and was amazed in his heart. Jiang Qing's cooking skills were even better than the chef who had been in charge of the Huang Family's old shop in Xuanwei City for two decades. Even if he met with a disaster and fell into poverty one day, he could probably change his career and find a job as a spiritual chef.

Jiang Qing arranged the skin and flesh of the green crocodile neatly and began to think. This green crocodile was much more ferocious than those Yakshas that looked much more ferocious just now. If they were of the same level, one green crocodile might be able to beat three or four Yakshas.

Even though their numbers were much smaller than those of the Yakshas, ​​I was afraid that only 70% of them were still alive in this lake. These evil beasts gathered quickly, and if I didn't get rid of them in time, I would be entangled and besieged by them.
I won't say much. Once I'm entangled by 20 green crocodiles, it will be difficult for me to escape. Moreover, there is a second-level green crocodile leader in the lake. Not to mention whether I can win, even if I win, wasting time here is a waste of this rare opportunity to enter the cave.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing took another piece of yellow silk and began to calculate quickly. He worked on it for about half an hour. Qi Buxiu did not dare to interrupt him. After Jiang Qing took a deep breath, he asked, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, do you have a way to cross the lake?"

(I didn’t expect that Brother Liu Qingshu could actually guess who the female cultivator Mi Li was. He’s really amazing)
