The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Lu Yu's body was found at the bottom of a mountain stream about a hundred miles away from the tomb three days later after Li Fan and others were rescued by Zhang Jiugao.

A hundred miles away, the sword light was set up in a moment, so it was impossible to tell whether he was ambushed, dumped his body, or had a sword fight in the sky and asked someone to kill the one who fell here.

Of course, when Lu Yu was found, all his magic weapons, storage jade pendant, the Lu family's right arm for hiding things, and the four dragons responsible for guarding them were all missing. It is unclear whether it was simply plundered by the murderer or taken by passers-by looking for treasure in the Buzhou Mountains as a 'chance'.

In the world of spiritual cultivation, there is no king's law to speak of. It has always been about hard principles. Even if Lu Yu's magic weapon is found, or even the Canglong raised in Mozhu Mountain, people can still claim to be 'destined to have a relationship with the treasure', unless they fall out and hit the door. Otherwise, there is a high probability that it will be impossible to get it back.

But these are trivial matters.

The big thing is that two golden elixirs and one foundation-builder died in Mozhushan, and there may be a traitor among the inner disciples who was involved with Li's inner court and actually killed his fellow disciples.

The usual practice in Mozhu Mountain is that the mountain master suppresses the mountain gate, and the temple master takes charge of law enforcement. It is the same this time.

The temple owner immediately summoned Zhang Jiugao. According to the old man, as a boy tutor, he suddenly found that Chen Daotong's soul lamp went out. They also found the talisman that Lu Yu left in Canglong Stream, and learned that the four of them left the city to herd dragons in the direction of Buzhou Mountain. They guessed that something had gone wrong.

So he passed the message to the temple owner, and at the same time used his sword to search and rescue them first. Finally, his spiritual consciousness scanned the bright light talisman placed by the boy Li Qingyue, and he arrived in time to save the two boys.

His words were approved by the temple master, and the soul lamp talisman was well documented. Moreover, he also rescued two surviving boys, Li Qingyue and Yuan Xuanbao, so it all made sense.

Then there is Yuan Xuanbao's theory that Senior Brother Lu led them to herd dragons and discovered that there was evil energy leaking out of the tomb, so they left three boys to collect evil spirits to prevent the corpse from causing trouble.

But this Jindan Master from Mozhu Mountain suddenly appeared, beheaded Chen Daotong with his flying sword, and beheaded Yuanxuan Bao in half. Then he went into the tomb to chase the boy Li Qingyue, but Qingyue sacrificed the Dragon-Muslim Sword and was seriously injured by the light of the Mo Sword. He was also attacked by evil corpses and capsized in the ditch. Only in this way can the two of them survive and be saved.

Although the boy Li Qingyue was seriously injured and unconscious, after examining his injuries, the corpses left in the tomb, and the scene of the fight, Yuan Xuanbao's guess was confirmed.

The golden elixir mage was indeed caught off guard. He was seriously injured by the sword light when he entered the door. He injured the elixir house and cut off the divine light. He was unable to use Qi to cast spells. He was also caught off guard and was attacked and killed by evil corpses. The evil corpse was probably chopped into pieces by him with his flying sword at the same time, so they both died together.

There's just one problem.

Judging by the way he dresses and practices, this demon is indeed a 'disciple of Mozhu Mountain', but no one in the inner sect recognizes him.

"No one recognizes it? How the hell is this okay? Are you kidding me?" Looking at Shu Xiaoju, Li Fan stared at Yuan Xuanbao who came to visit him.

The two of them sat across from each other in the tea room, and there was a pot of mountain delicacies stewed chicken soup on the table, which Poria prepared specially for him to nourish his blood before going to the business office to do business.

Of course, Li Fan brought it out to entertain this life-and-death friend, and Xuan Bao wasn't here to drink chicken soup. It was just there pouting.

"It is true that no one recognized him, and there is no Taoist ultimatum in his pendant." Probably because he had been saved, Yuan Xuanbao's tone towards Li Fan became much better, and he patiently explained, "Mozhushan originally Even in the Loose Cultivator Alliance, there have been too many Taoist traditions that have been circulated over the years. The unified distribution of Lou Guan Taoist ultimatums has only happened in the past hundred years.

What's more, when the virtual moon is in the sky, some disciples will go crazy at every turn. Only those who have reached the Nascent Soul realm in the inner sect can be regarded as true disciples with a great reputation. As for Jindan, except for important positions like Master Zhang who are often stationed in Taoist pagodas, most of them practice in Taoist temples in various peaks and caves.

Since this man was a craftsman, having a personal relationship with him would cause a scandal, so his head was hung under the Louguan Tower, and no one has come out to identify him yet. "

Li Fan suddenly frowned, "This... your big data is too bad. It doesn't matter if you don't even have identity authentication. But there are only a few golden elixirs. Can't you find out if you check them one by one..."

Yuan Xuanbao thought for a while, "Of course there is another possibility, that is, this demon is indeed not a disciple of the inner sect, but a golden elixir achieved by the outer sect."

"Outer sect? Those registered disciples?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment.

Yuan Xuanbao nodded, "The temple master is so suspicious. The named disciples have passed on the true method. Some of them have outstanding talents and deep blessings. It is not impossible that they can cultivate the golden elixir. It is reasonable to call themselves disciples of Mozhu Mountain."

But it is even harder to check. The disciples registered in the outer sect are all sent by aristocratic clans and powerful landlords. Some are the princes of the sect, and some are worshiped by those cultivating families themselves. They just left a name in the outer sect. , once the foundation building is completed, they will return to their families to practice.

If he was originally a dead soldier raised by the Liguo family, his identity might be hidden even deeper, and it might be difficult to find out the details immediately. "

The two were silent for a moment.

Kun took the opportunity to pull a chicken leg from the pot and eat it.

Li Fan asked hesitantly, "Do you think... could it be that eunuch from Li Qiu Palace?"

This demonic path is a matter of eunuchs, as well as the Jianghu matter that he saw at Longmen Inn before. Li Fan also told Yuan Xuanbao after he recovered from his injury.

Yuan Xuanbao nodded, then shook his head, "That demon Taoist priest is probably from the Li Kingdom court, but killing fellow sects is a taboo in the three sects, and it is really hard to guard against it. As for who killed Brother Lu, I can't say for sure. .

The calculations in the temple are deeper and darker, and there is also the interference from the Immortal Palace. These things are too deep and are not something that we boys can care about...

However, it will not be too late to find the thief behind the scenes in the future. Qingyue, this time I can kill this villain, which can be regarded as avenging Dao. Today is the seventh sacrifice. I am here to see how you are injured. If your body is still If you support me, I want to take you to offer incense to Daotong and Senior Brother Lu. "

"Oh, the first seven, right? It's been seven days... I should be fine. Let's set off." Li Fan also realized that he had been unconscious in the pot for several days. .

So Li Fan changed into the black ceremonial clothes, grabbed Kun who was still chewing chicken bones, put it in his sleeve, and left Wangshu Xiaoju with Yuan Xuanbao.

Xuan Bao released a wooden kite to fly and lead the way, while Li Fan used the crane given by Fairy Wangshu to follow behind.

First, we left the cave in the inner mountain and went to Lou Guan Pagoda. Then we went east, and after walking along the river for less than ten miles, we saw a cluster of wealthy manor houses with pavilions, red towers, high walls, red tiles, waterside pavilions and gardens.

Looking from a distance, I can only see the frost on the mandarin tiles, the soft breeze on the tortoise curtains, and the auspicious atmosphere in the high gate. The Zhulou Waterside Pavilion, the Bitan Golden Pavilion, and the orchid and jade vying for beauty in the courtyard. This ancient town with its beautiful sceneries and unique style is probably where the rich and powerful cultivators from Mozhu Mountain and the aristocratic families protected by the immortals gather.

If a person achieves enlightenment and becomes a land god with a lifespan of hundreds of years, then he will have to protect three generations, five generations, and even seventeen or eight generations of descendants under his wings. This is also human nature. And if one or two of them are equally enlightened, then an entire cultivating family, a family that has been passed down for generations, will rise from the ground.

For example, organizations like the Immortal Palace, Heavenly Court, Conferring Gods, and systems such as Dao, ultimatums, and other systems are also established based on this core logic of one person attaining Dao, and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. The first Immortal Lord in the world, his disciples, and even the entire Immortal Palace and the entire Twelve Kingdoms are the epitome of such a cultivating family. Of course, cultivation techniques, natural resources, and earthly treasures should not flow to outsiders.

It's just that this family inheritance system was later successively attacked by the master-disciple inheritance of Xuanmen, and the sect inheritance of the divine sect. Then, the Xuyue Dangkong Heavenly Dao changed a lot. Maybe a monk went crazy and wiped out his entire family. , and then there was some restraint.

But today, it can still be seen from the aristocratic family courtyard near Mozhu Mountain that the Xiuzhen family is still the most extensive and basic unit in the cultivation world. Almost as long as a large sect can accumulate for hundreds of years without disaster, a group of dependent aristocratic families will naturally arise.

With Yuan Xuan Bao leading the way, Li Fan followed him to Chen's house first.

After all, Chen Daotong was just a boy in the foundation-building period, and the Chen family was not too big. Only Chen Daotong's family members and close friends and Taoists like Yuan Xuanbao came to pay their respects by offering incense sticks.

Li Fan avenged Chen Daotong, so he was regarded as an honored guest. Chen Daotong's parents and his three wives and four concubines also came to express their gratitude.

...Well, it’s really three wives and four concubines.

Chen Daotong looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, barely a high school student. Although his parents looked sad, they were all dressed in middle-aged clothes. They probably had some magic pills to take care of themselves, so they looked very young. So at first, Li Fan thought that these young women who came to salute him in plain clothes and wearing mourning were all his sisters, but when they were introduced, they turned out to be wives and concubines...

We can have two tables of mahjong together in the evening. This evil feudal society is really enviable... Ahem, criticize, criticize, you should criticize...

"Brother Xuanbao, how many years have you been practicing Taoism with Brother Daotong?" Although the deceased was embarrassed to discuss it later, Li Fan couldn't help it, and after some consideration, he secretly inquired with him.

"It's been twenty years," Yuan Xuanbao calculated. "We both joined the master's disciples when we were sixteen years old when we were building the foundation. We have been together and practiced until the foundation was completed. It has been at least twenty years."

Well, he's around thirty-six years old, and he's an immortal. In this age, it seems normal to have three wives and four concubines. At sixteen, he's almost puberty... huh?

"...You said, building a foundation at the age of sixteen..." Li Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he looked at Yuan Xuanbao's appearance, "Brother Xuanbao, you don't seem to have grown much..."

"Oh, after the foundation is established, the growth of the Tao body will slow down. In the future, the higher the realm, the slower the aging..." Yuan Xuanbao seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Li Fan, who was only ten years old, "Uh, Qingyue, you actually...can take a break for two years...but there's nothing you can do about the situation at that time..."

Damn it! In other words, if I practice too quickly, I will not have to look like a boy forever!

‘Li Fan’s mood dropped by 1 point. ’

‘Xuantian Sword Intent said, there is nothing wrong with this, it shows that you, the host, are a genius. You will know if the host goes out and walks around the world more often. The powerful ones who have been reincarnated for more than ten lives are all old children who have established foundations and cultivated Taoism at the age of five or six. They are always vicious and stupid. Host, it's too late for you to meet me, otherwise the cradle would have laid the foundation for you. ’

Jianyi, please leave me alone!

Li Fan was speechless. This was too deceptive. No wonder the children of these cultivating families were mostly fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, and the outer sects did not worship the moon very much. They wanted to continue the family lineage...

He looked at Chen Daotong's widows who were crying bitterly, and it seemed that two of them were actually pregnant. Is this the inheritance of the Xiuzhen family...

"Uncle, don't worry, my Xuanbao will help take care of Brother Daotong's bloodline." Yuanxuanbao went over to comfort the family again.

Li Fan was helpless, but it didn't matter if he thought about it. He would grow up sooner or later, so just be careful not to upgrade too quickly.

So he also offered incense sticks to Chen Daotong, paid his respects, and left some elixirs and talismans with Yuan Xuan Bao. After settling all the funeral arrangements for his Taoist companion, he left the Chen family with him. .

Chen Daotong, a foundation-building disciple who had only had a few contacts, formed a team with Li Fan for a short period of time. During the long journey of cultivation, they traveled together for a short period and then exited the server.

If Li Fan, the scourge, can live long enough, there will be many people who will pass by him like this in the future, right?

"Huh...the difference between immortals and mortals, the friendship between life and death..."

Li Fan looked back at the rich family of the Chen family. There seemed to be no other practitioners of the Chen family's generation. Chen Daotong was originally a Nascent Soul, but now that he has fallen, the Chen family will probably move out of this house soon and return. Go to the so-called mortal world.

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly realized that he could not return to the human world.

He is no longer a mortal.

This is not arrogance, but a very realistic feeling.

Because after Li Fan established his foundation, even his physical fitness was no longer that of a mortal. It was already too far behind.

Mortal birth, old age, sickness and death, joy, anger, sorrow, and all human emotions. It may be slow, it may be very fast, but sooner or later, Li Fan will gradually lose his ability to realize it, and he casually uses some spells to cut off two heads, causing consequences that "just mortals" cannot bear. . What's more, in the future, when he wields a sword and flies to the immortal, teaches heaven and earth, and sacrifices his body to follow the Tao?

This is probably the ideological threshold that all immortals, true practitioners, martial arts masters, and superheroes must go through. Sooner or later, you have to realize your existence and how dangerous your every move is to ordinary people.

But if you can no longer regard yourself as an individual, then how can you keep people's hearts?

‘Li Fan’s mood dropped by 1 point. ’

Really, it turns out that it is so difficult to stick to the Taoist heart...

Yuan Xuanbao was not very interested, "Don't worry, the Chen family still has relatives who are serving as officials in the court, and Daotong also has some savings, so his family members cannot be hungry. On the contrary, I am more worried about Senior Brother Lu..."

"Senior Brother Lu? By the way, isn't his family a cultivator for generations and has its own inheritance of heavenly craftsmanship?"

Li Fan shook his head and came to his senses, released the flying crane, and followed Yuan Xuanbao to the Lu family to express his condolences.

Yuan Xuanbao turned his head and warned sternly, "Qingyue, Senior Brother Lu takes good care of us, but the Lu family has offended many people in the past. Now that the cause of Senior Brother Lu's death is unknown, I'm afraid someone will come to look for trouble.

The grievances between cultivating families are very troublesome. Some hatreds will last for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years and will not subside for many generations. Taoist couples, relatives, disciples, and disciples have been fighting from generation to generation. Maybe if you lose your hand in a sword fight, batches of people will be involved in grudges. It has long been difficult to tell right from wrong, and entangled bad fate. .

If there is a fight later, you must not get involved. "

Li Fan nodded and personally experienced a conflict between rivers and lakes and a battle among cultivators. This serious matter has not yet been involved in the grudges of the three major sects. It can only be regarded as a trivial matter among casual cultivators, but how many people have died in this matter. .

Li Fan also knew how bad the living environment of the old-school monks was. No wonder great monks like Xuantian Jianyi are paranoid and petty-minded...

Even if the virtual moon is in the sky, the way of heaven changes drastically, and the core of the struggle temporarily changes into a demonic form, it only alleviates the temporary shortage of resources, but it does not fundamentally change the nature of the world, let alone the human heart?

To put it to the extreme, each faction is still digesting the benefits brought by Xu Yue, so there is no big war for the time being. But when their cultivation and health reach a certain threshold, and even the demonic form of the devil is not enough to win everyone's share, I'm afraid, It will return to the cycle of killing and fighting.

magic……

Haha, what is the devil?

When it comes to murderous intentions alone, humans are much scarier than demons...

And when they arrived at the Lu family, Li Fan became more and more aware of the cruel and cruel folk customs in this cultivation world.

In the mourning hall of the Lu family, two groups of people were tensely confronting each other, about to have a sword duel.

Li Fan and Yuan Xuanbao stopped their mounts, and together with some other casual cultivators who probably came to express their condolences, watched the situation outside the field from a distance.

Isn't this a bit much? After all, Lu Yu is also a golden elixir monk from Mozhu Mountain, so making such a fuss will not look good on the sect's face, right?

Yuan Xuanbao obviously did not expect such a quarrel, UU read www. uukanｓhu.net found a monk he recognized and flew over to inquire, "Brother Gao Dao, who is this person causing trouble for the Lu family?"

Brother Gao Dao, a tall, fat foundation-building monk with a Chinese character, stood on a flying boat and smiled bitterly, "Junior Brother Yuan, you don't know something. This is their own family matter, and we can't get involved. "

He explained it in a few words, and Li Fan and Yuan Xuanbao suddenly understood.

The two groups below are all from the Lu family, and there is nothing new under the sun. The commotion like this is about fighting for the head of the family, dividing the family property, and grabbing treasures. Although it is ugly, it is indeed a family matter of the Lu family. The comrades who came to express their condolences had no choice but to wait outside in embarrassment, pretending not to see anything, and waiting for the Lu family to clean up before going in to visit.

But who knew that the commotion inside would get bigger and bigger, and eventually they would form cliques, and it would turn into two groups of people having a sword fight in the mourning hall. Can you believe it?

Yuan Xuanbao wrinkled his nose and raised his eyebrows, "Senior Brother Lu's body is still cold. Where did this evil relative come from? This is too much!"

Hey Xuan Bao! You just said not to get involved!

Brother Gao Dao still smiled bitterly, "This...can't be regarded as evil relatives. One is the daughter born by Brother Lu's concubine, and the other is the son raised by Brother Lu's wife. They have both succeeded in building foundations, so they are competing for the head of the Lu family. Where is the position?"

Xuan Bao also choked and looked at Li Fan, speechless.

I really can’t tell, Senior Brother Lu, you’re such a bushy-eyed guy, you actually have an outside wife... Wait a minute!

"Xuanbao, you should also have a wife, right?"

Yuan Xuanbao was looking at the Lu family with his neck raised, and said impatiently, "Isn't that natural? Mo Zhushan can't help but get married. Oh, junior brother, you have to wait for a few years...or decades..."

‘Li Fan’s mood dropped by 1 point. ’
