Infernal Artist

The old Taoist voice echoed in the long wind on the river bank.

The whole world fell into dead silence.

This news - this news -

So shocking.

The monks who were patrolling the sky froze in mid-air and did not dare to fly forward at all.

The other practitioners froze in place, even holding their breath.

How could I dare to breathe? If my voice was louder and the boss took it as a joke, I would not be alive.

The mountain breeze blows.

Only the bears, foxes, wild dogs, etc. all showed interesting expressions.

A doe quietly rolled her eyes, looked back and forth between the two male deer, and then quickly withdrew her innocent and pure gaze.

If this scene continues to freeze for eternity, then maybe everyone will feel better.

But after all, time will continue to move forward.

Liu Ping couldn't help but glance at his master, and saw that the smile in his eyes was cautious.

——Master is a veteran of the martial arts world. I don’t know how many years he has been in the world. He is well aware of the taboos in the sect. Why did he say such a thing today?

Liu Ping's heart moved.

Just now he had only calculated the shallowest level of past events, and now he continued to calculate downwards.

suddenly.

An astonishing murderous aura burst out from Master Qian.

"Charlatan."

He opened his mouth and said: "Insulting my reputation means insulting the reputation of Baishan Sect. Today you-"

Liu Ping suddenly interrupted: "You are not Qian Yuanhe, the Baishan Sect!"

Master Qian's expression changed and he yelled: "Fellow disciples, come here and kill these two——"

The old Taoist interrupted him and shouted loudly: "You are Qian Yuanhe's younger brother. Your brother is imprisoned by you in an underground secret room three hundred miles southeast of the Baishan Zongshan Gate. Is this true or false? You only need to send People will know it if they go and take a look.”

Master Qian was furious, drew out his sword and said, "Come here, come here and kill these two charlatans with bad intentions!"

"Wait a minute!" Liu Ping's fingers flew up and he answered: "Your cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. You used a magic weapon to cover your breath. This makes it difficult for people to detect your cultivation level. If you are not convinced, let everyone Let’s see how good your cultivation is!”

Everyone was stunned.

The monks who were about to take action also turned around in surprise and looked at the leader.

When the news about the leader's wife came out, they could still kill people without hesitation, but now the nature of the whole thing has changed.

This matter went from a mere gossip to a major event concerning the entire sect.

The old Taoist took out a dry pipe gun from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and took a savory puff, exhaled the smoke and said:

"The magic weapon you use to cover your aura is your sword. As long as you lose it, your cultivation will be exposed immediately."

The monks looked at him and then at the blind boy beside him.

Such an old man and a young child cannot even talk about fighting against a sect.

They dare not talk nonsense here even if they are too brave, otherwise they will die in an instant.

So--

Are they serious?

A gray-haired monk came out and gave a fist to the elders, and then to Master Qian.

He opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, you must be on guard against the evil talk that is misleading the public today, otherwise in the future, rumors will spread throughout the sect and everyone will be alienated from their moral integrity."

All the monks nodded in unison.

A middle-aged monk said: "What the Supreme Elder said makes sense. I wonder what else the Elder has to say?"

"After all, among the six arts, the art of hexagram is the highest. Only one person among hundreds and thousands of people can see the way of heaven." The Supreme Elder said: "These two people are calculating at every level. We don't know whether every word or hexagram is true or false. But I have an idea—"

He glanced at Master Qian and said with a gentle smile: "If we go to verify other things, we may damage the prestige of the leader and cause the sect to be subject to rumors. Now there is a convenient way -"

"What method?" Master Qian asked.

The Supreme Elder bowed his hands and saluted: "Master, we only need to check whether your sword is a magic weapon that masks the breath, and then we can know whether what these two people said is true or false."

"That's right, these two people dare to say that the sword you carry with you is a magical weapon that masks your breath. If they are wrong, then the other hexagrams they calculated are naturally not trustworthy." Another elder said.

Everyone nodded.

Head Qian looked around, swallowed, and became increasingly nervous.

He looked very hesitant.

——He is the leader, and he is being squeezed and spread rumors by two strangers. Now that he does not speak, it is really hard for others to directly force him.

opposite.

Liu Ping silently observed this scene, suddenly raised the fire stick in his hand, and ran towards Master Qian in a flash.

The old Taoist took a breath of dry cigarette and said nothing.

The monks around also saw it.

However--

Everyone remained strangely silent, no one made a sound, and no one stopped them.

The spiritual power fluctuations in this kid's body actually have a foundation-building stage.

It really needs to be called a genius.

But that's not the point.

The point is——

Although the Baishan Sect is a small sect, Qian Yuanhe can become the leader because his level of cultivation is at the late Nascent Soul stage.

With such strength, against this blind child, it only takes one strike to kill him.

So no one needs to take action at all.

Right now, the situation is at a stalemate, and no one has a good solution.

Since the blind child dares to stand up, he must be responsible for his own life and death.

Everyone said nothing, but their hearts were clear.

I saw the child running forward gently, clumsily raising the long fire stick——

"Come here! Kill him!"

Leader Qian shouted.

No one moved.

The fire stick has already gained enough momentum and is about to poke it——

Suddenly a woman in the crowd shouted:

"Husband, let me help you!"

She rushed out suddenly, holding a long knife in each hand and slashed at the blind child's back.

Everyone was in an uproar.

"Madam of the head, no!" the Supreme Elder exclaimed in shock.

when--

A soft sound.

I saw a dry tobacco pole holding the two swords.

At some point, the old Taoist stood beside the blind child, grinning and saying: "Why bother, why bother!"

The blind child seemed to have known what was going to happen, his expression remained unchanged, and he stabbed the fire stick in his hand towards Master Qian's throat.

——The moment of life and death!

Master Qian had no choice but to raise his sword and face the deadly fire stick.

"I lied to you, let go!"

The blind child said lazily and changed his moves.

The fire stick suddenly twisted into a black shadow, rubbing across the sword like a dexterous snake.

An extremely ingenious force was transmitted along the long sword to Master Qian's hand.

He suddenly couldn't hold the sword anymore.

"No!"

Master Qian blurted out.

The long sword flew out in a spin, and stuck into a tree dozens of meters away with a "crack" sound.

Everyone remained motionless.

In the midst of this electric light and flint, countless divine thoughts swept towards Master Qian.

Foundation building period.

The truth comes out.

Dead silence.

The river is surging and the wind is blowing constantly.

The Supreme Elder sighed, walked out, clasped his fists and said: "The demon is in charge, but my sect doesn't know about it. I would like to thank the two hexagram masters who saw the fate of the time and prevented this catastrophe for my sect."

"Easy to say, easy to say. I just hope that we can turn our hostility into friendship." The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Those disciples in the Eight Immortals Tower are blind and greedy for worldly fame and fortune. They deserve to die for contradicting a person like you." The Supreme Elder said.

"We just calculated several hexagrams and found out where the head of your family is imprisoned - hurry up and rescue him. He was poisoned by the person he trusted most and needs to be detoxified regularly," Liu Ping said.

The Supreme Elder made a gesture behind him.

Hundreds of practitioners rose into the sky and headed towards the direction calculated by the master and disciple.

"In this case, you and I owe nothing to each other, so let's just say goodbye." The old Taoist said with cupped hands.

The Supreme Elder's eyes flickered and he said:

"The scandal of the sect is not enough for outsiders, so please don't spread it widely."

The old Taoist laughed and said: "We fortune tellers naturally don't talk nonsense."

The blind boy on the side threw a jade stone casually.

The Supreme Elder took it and saw a line of small words written on the jade stone:

"Thirty-four years later, at Qiongtai in Xishan Mountain, a catastrophe will occur. We meet with this jade stone."

The Supreme Elder suddenly wondered: "What does this mean?"

Liu Ping yawned, tied the fire stick to his back again, and said casually: "I just calculated the date for you to pass the tribulation. You are only 30% sure of passing. When the time comes, come to me at the designated place with this jade stone, and I will give it to you. Do the math again and see how you can pass the test smoothly."

"Thirty-four years? I originally planned to survive the tribulation in thirty years, why did it become thirty-four years?" asked the Supreme Elder.

"You will have a grandchild thirty years later. You were happy for a moment, but because you were really unsure, you postponed it for four years." Liu Ping said.

The Supreme Elder thought silently in his heart.

——It seems to be true!

There seemed to be a big hand in the dark, guiding everything in the direction the blind child said.

The ways of heaven are unpredictable.

Ask the hexagram and get a glimpse.

At this moment, an irrepressible feeling of admiration suddenly arose in his heart.

The expression on the face of the Supreme Elder kept changing, and he finally put the jade preciously into his storage bag and said solemnly:

"Then we'll have to trouble you two more."

"You're welcome, we don't give it for free. You can get a 20% discount with the jade." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The old Taoist put away the dry pipe gun and said, "See you later."

The Supreme Elder cupped his hands and said, "See you later!"

He glanced behind him.

Immediately, several monks came forward and detained the "Master Qian" and his wife.

"Hmph! Take them away!"

The Supreme Elder gave instructions, flew high into the sky, and left first.

The remaining practitioners held the pair of mandarin ducks, flew into the sky, and left here.

Lao Dao and Liu Ping watched them leave together.

After a while.

Until there is no more breath fluctuation in the sky, and no stream of light can be seen——

The master and apprentice suddenly collapsed on the ground at the same time.

Liu Ping first counted with his fingers, then took a deep breath and murmured: "Master, our death calamity is over."

The old Taoist cursed loudly: "Damn it, that old immortal just wanted to kill us and silence us. He was afraid that we would talk about his sect's scandal, a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"

Liu Ping sneered: "After all, his own life is more important - he is still waiting for us to save him thirty-four years later."

The old Taoist was still scolding, and the wild beasts around him quietly moved away.

"Can you stop scolding me and help me accumulate virtue? By the way, what happened to your injuries?" Liu Ping asked.

"I finally recovered a little bit. I just blocked that bitch's full-strength knife for you, and now my whole body's meridians are shaking!" The old Taoist said while looking at those beasts with his eyes.

Deer blood is good.

Bear paws are also acceptable.

I need to get some supplements to eat!

He was calculating silently, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"Don't think about it, I'll catch two fish and grill them for you." Liu Ping stood up and said.

"Okay, hurry up, I'm hungry." The old man said angrily.
