From that day onwards, the Sophora Tree Town re-established the tablet and placed Wu Qiren's spirit tablet at the highest point, respecting all the holy beings in the clan. According to the scroll that Wu Qiren left behind, they would pass down their teachings: No one is to see the three lights in the Ancestral House! He could not go to the back of the mountain! You are not allowed to tell anyone about the secret of Samsara!
After Wu Leming finished speaking, he let out a long breath as if he was relieved from a heavy burden. When a person told a secret that they had been hiding for a thousand years, that kind of ease or loss was something that no one could understand. But when he looked around the room, he felt like exploding. Old Taoist Qiu closed his eyes and meditated quietly. It was unknown if he was asleep or not, but when Mao Babao was in a trance, he would occasionally throw a peanut into his mouth. He did not seem to be listening to him seriously.
"Aren't you moved by this great wisdom and great courage?" Wu Leming was a little flustered and exasperated.
I pointed at Old Taoist Qiu and the others with my chin, "These three people do not care about what you said. I think they do not understand what you are trying to do. As for me, I'm just a normal person. If there's no accident, I can only live for about ten years. Who do you think you're telling this story to? "
"Fifteen years? As long as you can help me, I can let you enter our Reincarnation Great Formation! " Wu Leming grabbed my arm as if he was trying to save my life.
Hamborg snorted in disdain, and pulled his arm away. "You? Come on, the entire Baxian Hotel is probably unable to do anything to this short-lived boss. "
"Baxian Hotel? I've never heard of it. " Wu Leming muttered to himself, his tone slightly dissatisfied: "You guys clearly told me to tell you this secret, and then you guys displayed that attitude again."
I smiled helplessly. "Yeah, you have to finish first." You praised the Old Ancestor for half an hour, but in the end, you didn't say what you wanted us to do. Besides, shouldn't you have an attitude if you want to help? There's no meaning in just having your mouth trained like this. " I smiled as I looked at him.
Wu Leming's face changed, he took a long time to slowly talk about what happened afterwards. After what happened to Kong Shuangquan, Wu Leming was afraid that something might happen, so he increased his patrolling, and would visit the vicinity of the Ancestral House at night. Just a few nights ago, he had heard a series of sounds coming from the ancestral home during his night patrol. The next few days, he would go to the ancestral house to listen for a while every night. Sure enough, the sound was getting louder and louder, as if something was smashing against the walls of the ancestral house from inside. In the past few days, the lightning nearby the town had become more concentrated, to the point that it was almost necessary for lightning to strike every day as evidence.
Wu Leming could not sit still any longer, he started to panic a little. Regardless of whether there were any changes in the Ancestral House or if lightning struck here, this town was not safe anymore. He did not want to become the town's sinner.
"To get to the point, what's the situation now?" Old Taoist Qiu's face was filled with impatience.
"After throwing you into the cave last night, there was another noise from the Ancestral House. According to my estimations, in at most ten days, the things inside would definitely break out from the house!"
Old Taoist Qiu stood up immediately. "Let's go, I want to see what kind of quality this heaven defying thing is!"
The Old Taoist Qiu moved, and Hamborg followed him out. Mao Babao smiled as he gave the unconscious Zhao Hai something and followed him out. In my opinion, these people are more likely to watch the show than to help out.
Old Taoist Qiu did not go directly to the ancestral hall, but sauntered around the town once more. By the time they stood in front of the ancestral house, the sun was already setting in the west. The slanting sunlight shining down on the dark ancestral house made it seem especially eerie.
Old Taoist Qiu held the horsetail whisk in his hand and circled around the ancestral house. Every few steps, he would use the whisk's handle to poke a small hole in the ground and casually place something inside. By the time the circle was over, 36 small holes had already appeared on the ground, forming a battle formation.
"May I ask what is this Taoist doing?" Wu Leming was puzzled.
The Old Taoist Qiu ignored him and asked Hamborg for a stack of yellow paper to fill up the thirty-six holes with runes. On the other hand, Mao Babao lazily said, "The Thirty-sixth Heavenly Dipper Lightning Concentration Formation, Old Ox has really started to have a competitive spirit."
"Thunder? If the heavenly lightning were to come, I'm afraid this place would be destroyed and we would still need to gather lightning? " Wu Leming panicked a little.
Old Taoist Qiu turned his head and looked at him, "What do you know? Your ancestor already made a maze with a locust tree in the town. If you rely on lightning, you won't be able to kill your town's people by eating all their zombies."
Wu Leming's mouth was so wide open that a duck's egg could almost be stuffed inside it. What about zombies? "
Hamborg rolled his eyes: "I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. Whether it's true or false, a maximum of twelve people is enough to come and go, and your ancestor only wanted to occupy the thirteen extra spots, it would be strange if he didn't have a goal."
"He … he occupied the center of the formation. Isn't that the core of the formation?" Wu Leming was stuttering. For so many years, the people of the town had viewed Wu Qiren as an existence that was akin to a god. Not to mention doubting him, they had not even been able to kowtow a little every time they paid their respects to him.
Hamborg could not watch any longer, and patted Wu Leming's shoulders: "Did you all think that he put himself in the array to manage it?"
"Is that not the case?" Wu Leming was even more confused
Hamborg grinned: He's already dead, how can I manage it? Could it be that you really drew a perfect array diagram on the paper, and then worked for hundreds, or even thousands, of years? "
Wu Leming was startled: "Is that not the case?"
Hamborg pointed to me and said, "You are looking for Fourth Boss, he has the phone number with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If an array formation can do this, maybe Fourth Boss can give that Fellow a call.
As the few of them laughed, Old Taoist Qiu turned around and said with a cold face, "Stop joking around, get ready to work. Let's see what kind of cultivation experience the thousand years of calamity are."
Hamborg stood up and took out two objects from his bosom. He turned around and showed them to me, "Fourth Boss, after so many years, I also want to show you the true abilities of my John Christopher Fredrich von Hamborg. See, this is the Soul Suppressing Nail, this is the Soul Slaying Sabre, all demons and monsters must submit. "
Mao Babao chuckled, "If I meet someone strong, how would you throw that Soul Suppressing Nail inside? Should I use the back of the blade? "
Hamborg was startled, he returned the Soul Slaying Blade back to its original place and took out another small hammer. "Fourth Boss, do you see this? Today I will show you the true capabilities of my John Christopher Fredrich von Hamborg! "
Old Taoist Qiu took the lead and stood in the center. He waved the horsetail whisk, and with a "thump" sound, the horsetail whisk shot out like a steel spear, creating a hole in the walls of the Ancestral House. As soon as the cave entrance appeared, a gust of cold wind rushed out, stirring up a cloud of dust and making his vision blur.
In the midst of the smoke and dust, I vaguely saw a humanoid shape slowly walk out from the hole. Before I could even make a sound, Old Taoist Qiu snorted coldly and the horsetail whisk in his hand flew out like a silver arrow, striking straight towards the shadow. Bang! Bang! Bang! sounds continuously came out from the smoke and dust, but due to the difficulty of his vision blurring, he could not see clearly. He could only judge from the silver light that the Old Taoist Qiu was not in an advantageous position.
Hamborg, who was standing to my right, also saw the situation, snorted, and nailed his right hand onto the hammer as he charged out. As a result, metallic tinkling sounds came from the smoke and dust, and for a time, it was very lively.
The fight was very heated inside, causing me to panic outside, as Wu Leming and I tiptoed and peeked inside. Mao Babao was sitting leisurely on the stairs, talking in a sarcastic tone, "The great Sect Leader, you might not even get yourself a little brat, aiya." His voice was not loud, but it could still be heard through the smoke.
Just as he said that, the Old Taoist Qiu left the battle and carried the horsetail whisk on his back. He glanced at Mao Babao, "Little brat? This old demon is about to transform into a dragon! "
Not long after he came out, Hamborg also came out, but he was still staring at the figure in the smoke and dust with a nervous expression. It was clear that the opponent's strength was not low, and was enough for him to deal with him carefully.
The moment the battle ended, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and the figure gradually revealed itself. With a single glance, I instantly understood what Old Taoist Qiu meant by "Old Demon Dragon Transformation".
The person who walked out of the ancestral house had gray scales all over his body. Although he was still in human form, his feet were like bird's claws and had long, curved nails. Both of his arms were also covered with scales, and his hands were indeed like the dragon claws in the painting. His nails were long and sharp, his knuckles protruding, and his muscles were curved. One could even see a little bit of a person's appearance on his chest, but the black veins that bulged out of his body were like old tree roots, giving off an eerie feeling. The scariest thing about him was his appearance. Both of his eyes were now filled with vertical pupils that were suffused with a green glow. Four huge fangs jutted up and down, and his hair was like a mane between his ears.
I turned to Old Taoist Qiu and asked, "Leader, why does he look like a dog to me? Didn't you see what a dragon looks like? "
Old Taoist Qiu waved his horsetail whisk lightly, as if he was a master of the dao. "I don't know if Dragon One has said that to you. But the majority of the so-called Dragons are basically the people who are bewitched by the monster. They use people's greed and power to lay down a formation, and they think they can be exchanged for longevity. In reality, in the end, they still gave the monster an advantage. "
"Then what about my ancestor?" Wu Leming asked anxiously.
"Do you even need to ask? He was bewitched by some monster and got into a formation. He tricked you guys into saying that it would allow you guys to reincarnate and live forever, but in reality, he's eating the benefits of hiding inside." When his day comes, he will turn into a dragon and soar into the sky, and all of you in this town will be finished. For him, you give him nutrients, help him cultivate, and keep it a secret. The only price we have to pay is a little longer. I'll let you live for a little longer. " Hamborg's brain was working, he said everything in a few words.
"Nutrient?" Why are we helping him cultivate? " Wu Leming still didn't understand.
Hamborg finally had a chance to display his IQ and immediately opened his mouth. "Are you stupid? You keep talking about reincarnation. Then let me ask you, what did you eat on your last life's 35th birthday? "Tell me the name of the dish!"
Wu Leming was completely shocked, and stammered for a long while, "Isn't it normal to have forgotten something? Could it be that you can all remember it? "
I patted his shoulder, "We might not be able to remember, but you have been reincarnated here for generations. There are a lot of things that you have already forgotten, but others will help you remember them." Everyone thought this was normal, but it also covered up some of the things that you lost during your reincarnation. These so-called spiritual energies and vitality have also become the nutrients for your ancestor's cultivation. There was no need for much, just one out of ten was not a small amount. You are the support of a town for over a thousand years. "
"Then, then what should we do now?" Wu Leming's hands were a little messed up.
Old Taoist Qiu snorted coldly, "Regardless of whether he has transformed into a dragon dog or a cat, today, I shall send him into the cycle of reincarnation!"
