"I know it's you.; but... who are you? No, what are you?"

In the room, the old Taoist suddenly appeared carefully at the vine box in the air. Although he was asking, his expression did not show any curiosity and was very calm, especially the eyes had no feelings, but was just a desolate and indifferent.

"Oh? Hahahahahaha..." The vine box let out a sharp laugh. "I didn't expect that even the seniors who practiced Taoism with Zhang Daoling could not see the origin and depth of this seat? It's a great honor, a great honor..."

The old Taoist just looked at the vine box in the air quietly, and there was no expression on his desolate and ancient face. He was wearing a golden Taoist robe, a purple-gold hibiscus crown on his head, and extremely subtle golden sparks jumped out of the air and exploded in the air. He looked like a real thing, but he was indeed standing there.

Cheng Shui'er looked at the old Taoist who suddenly appeared with a vigilant face, and moved his footsteps gently away to the distance. Zhang Hengliang, who was blocked by the acupoints, still stood in the middle of the room, with a panic on his face and wanted to pretend to be strong. For a moment, only the sharp and crazy laughter echoed in the room.

After a long time, it seemed that he had finally laughed enough. The vine box floated back to the table, bounced open, revealing the things inside.

Even though he was already in extreme fear, Zhang Hengliang couldn't help but take a look, wanting to see who was there. Then he was immediately startled by the exposed scene. His face, which had been trying hard to tighten, finally twitched, and his face turned from blue to white. Although Cheng Shui'er, who had already retreated, had seen it, she couldn't help frowning and took a few more steps toward the side.

Only the old Taoist was still as calm as usual, and his eyes that seemed to surpass all human nature were quietly and coldly looking at the scene in the vine box.

It is hard to describe what it is. It is hard to even grasp the quantifier. It is hard to say that it is a bunch of them, some, some, or a piece of them. If you have to say it, it is a ball of brain marrow, a pair of naked eyes, several piles of organs, and some muscle veins are barely linked together through some strange mechanisms, instruments, talismans, etc. It seems to be pure objects. It seems that it is not right, because it can be seen from the occasional pulsation of the muscles and organs that it is clearly still "alive". Some black smoke that seems to be oily and seems to be condensed to the extreme is wrapped around this pile of "living things", which solidifies the pile of things into a whole.

The only thing that can be considered to be some complete shape among these difficult-to-explained things is the two forelimbs as big as a child's arm, but the claws are similar to rats. Each claw extends from the bones, three extremely thin and long transparent silk threads. It is these silk threads that extend out to hang the vine box in the air and move like hands and feet.

The inner wall of the vine box was covered with talismans. After opening it, the old Taoist seemed to be able to see clearly. After looking at it for a while, he nodded and said, "The mysterious monkey brain, the spiritual turtle marrow, the earth spirit dragon heart, the claw of the rat splitting gold and marshes... Oh. The most rare thing is that there is a ten thousand-year-old building wood core as the hub and the hanging bell and the spiritual breasts as the operation. A small formation of the birth creation is built to maintain vitality. This seems to be a unique idea and a clever mind, but the basic foundation of the formation is still quite solid... Is it from the Kunlun School? Apart from them, I think even the Five Elements Sect after the split, it may not be as good as the Jianmu Tree Core?"

"I admire, admire, the senior's knowledge is indeed extraordinary. Hahahaha... It is the Kunlun School. In order to achieve this Dharma body, I have used half of the treasures that the Kunlun School has retained for many years. Hahaha..." The eyes on the brain turned. The sound was not made with the mouth, and there was no organ like the mouth on the pile of things, but the black mist condensed to the extreme directly stimulated the air. Because there was not enough chest resonance, the sound could only be as sharp as a child.

"Dharma Body?" The old Taoist finally squeezed out a hint of expression on his face, as if he was smiling. "What kind of Dharma Body are you? No matter how rare the things you use and how exquisite the structure is, they are just things made up of physical objects. How dare you say "Dharma"?"

"This is the Dharma Body of the Mechanism of the Cathedral." The sounds of the pile of things were indescribable and proud, and then the black air blew a sigh of sigh. "According to the Heavenly Comrade Plan set by me, this Dharma Body will become the center of thousands of mechanisms in the world. It can soar in the sky, and on the ground is a giant god with a height of hundreds of feet like a mountain. Unfortunately, the sky doesn't meet people's wishes, and there will be no chance again..."

"Jiaojin Sect's set is just the use of tools, where does the method come from?" The old Taoist was still unmoved.

"But I said this mechanism of Dharma body, but it just means that this Dharma body is made of the principle of mechanism. Is this fundamental 'dharma'? Jijihehe..." The transparent thin silk thread was in the air, and the vine box closed again with a snap. "But there are other things..."

The horror on Zhang Hengliang's face not far away finally subsided a little, and he could no longer see the strange and terrifying organs. The atmosphere in the room seemed to have eased a lot.

"It is the Mitian Ghost Mantra of the Shuntian Divine Sect, right?" The old Taoist looked at the vine box that was closed again, and his eyes seemed to be able to pass through it and see the pile of things clearly. "This body pieced together like a mechanism is a tool used to retain the ghost mantra. As for you, it is actually just a ghost stored in the ghost mantra. Or it is not even a ghost. You are not born naturally and have no soul. It is just a memory of divine thoughts based on the ghost mantra. It is more appropriate to say that it is a sacrificial spirit."

The vine box stopped moving, and no sound came out, and he just stayed there quietly. No one spoke, and the room was filled with strange silence for a moment.

After a long time, with a cry, the vine box suddenly rushed into the air and was circling around, and a sharp laugh as if she was really crazy came from it: "Yes, yes, yes, seniors have really good vision. I have been thinking hard for so many years but have not figured out who I am and what I am. But I was told by the seniors. Seniors are so smart, seniors are so smart..."

The mad, high and sharp laughter echoed repeatedly in the room, so ugly that it almost tear apart the people's eardrums. Zhang Hengliang's face changed from blue to white to blue several times. If he hadn't moved, he might have collapsed to the ground immediately. Shui Yuzhu on one side couldn't help but cover her ears and looked out with a worried look, as if she was afraid that the sound would be noticed when it was heard.

Only the old Taoist was still and did not take the crazy appearance of the vine box at all. He continued to say lightly: "When you brought me a talisman to others, you mentioned the Demon Sect **. After I escaped from the trap, I also asked someone to ask. I also knew that the five gods of the Shuntian Divine Sect, except for the highest law of the Great Free Emperor, were basically taken from the human way of hurting others and destroying oneself. They were used to fight and attack with great power. But they could only take it by themselves.

The end of destruction. Your method is indeed clever. The Ghost Heart Mantra is known as the method that has the greatest backlash among the Shuntian Divine Scheme and is most likely to cause fire and self-destruction. Sooner or later, those who practice this method will not be able to withstand the endless variety of dark desires in the Ghost Heart Mantra. Your cultivation method of completely free from the human body and mind is indeed the right medicine. Your cultivation level of the Ghost Heart Mantra on this body is probably the best even when the Shuntian Divine Scholar is in its prime."

"But even if this method is at its peak, it is just a trick. If you take it, you will have the limit of skill. Otherwise, you will not find any way to find me, right?"

"Hehehehehe, that's right. But this is a win-win method, and it should be of great benefit to my seniors. I know that my seniors have some requests, otherwise I would not make some noise here as agreed before, and wait for me to find them. I am unable to move and easily restrained by others. I don't even know when I will have a chance. Therefore, I cannot set a fixed time and place for meetings, so I can only use this method to meet. Please forgive me, senior."

"I probably guessed what you want. But before that, let's talk about how to deal with these two people."

The old Taoist glanced over Cheng Shui'er, who was beside her, making her jump like a frightened cat. But the old Taoist eyes did not stop on her, as if it was just a trivial bug that just swept past and then landed on Zhang Hengliang.

"You...you...who are you Taoist?" Zhang Hengliang only felt that there seemed to be an indescribable coldness in his eyes, and it was a bit playful, as if a cat who had become a fairy was looking at a young mouse. Everything that happened today had wiped out all his courage and pride. Now he could only scream in a crying voice: "You, you, you, do you know that my father is the master of Longhu Mountain today?"

"Of course I know. When your father was struggling to guard Zhengyang Palace, I knew him." The old Taoist nodded. "I didn't expect that the house that was bullied in the past was able to take up the position of Heavenly Master. Many of the methods used in the middle were really exciting. They sold themselves and defected, and then secretly poisoned the master, betrayed the senior brother, steal credit, etc. It's really all you can do... For some reason, the old Taoist later, after hearing about the Demon Sect, I suddenly felt that your father was really a waste of being born in the Zhang family. If you were in the Shuntian Divine Sect, you might be a great man."

"You...how dare you slander my father so much?" The moment of anger actually overshadowed the horror. Zhang Hengliang's face was flushed and his veins roared at the old Taoist angrily. "My father is the master of the lower Taoist sect today. How could you, a wild Taoist priest, speak nonsense? He actually slandered the elders behind the scenes. You dare to wear a Taoist robe! Hey? You...you...you...this is my Tianshi robe from Longhu Mountain. How brave are you so brave that you dare to do this..."

"I even called him Zhengyang's son in front of your father, and he didn't dare to respond." The old man looked at Zhang Hengliang who was angry and showed some sighs, as if he was looking at a dilapidated gadget that was slightly commemorative but was about to abandon it. "I have been trapped in Longhu Mountain for hundreds of years, and although I can't leave the Earth Spirit Hall, the old man's divine consciousness perception can long be embedded in the mountain protection dragon and tiger formation. I dare not say that all the things in the mountains are seen, at least most of them are clear."

"You...you...you are...the earth spirit master..." Zhang Hengliang finally understood the identity of the old Taoist in front of him. All his anger and spirit were suddenly shrunk. His face, which had just turned red, was instantly pale as if dead.

"The old Taoist told Zhang Daoling back then that if you practice Taoism, you will practice Taoism, if you establish religion, you will establish religion, and if you get married, you will get married, and you will get married sooner or later. Look at it now. As expected, even if you have Taoism and self-cultivation and rules, you will definitely end up with the man and the Pope for a position and a place. In vain, the end was just the most vicious insect. Even if you can occasionally produce a talent like Yu Hong, you can't stand this pool of stagnant water that has been rotten for many years. Unfortunately, Zhang Daoling can't see such a scene."

"By the way, why did you think of catching this boy from the Zhang family here?" The earth spirit master turned his head and looked at the vine box.

"I brought it here. Old Dao Liu had great resentment towards him, and the ghost curse was just to go with the flow. I think my senior was imprisoned by Zhang Daoling for hundreds of years, and brought a descendant of the Zhang family as a bonus to let his senior vent his anger... Hehehehe... I wonder if this arrangement is suitable for the senior?"

"It's very consistent with the old Taoist's intention. This Zhang family's bloodline is now useful to the old Taoist."

The earth spirit master who had been unmoving finally took a step forward and walked to Zhang Hengliang and slowly stretched out his hand to him.

###

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, Xiao Xia was following four men in black and galloping. The days he spent in Yongzhou, Jizhou made his horsemanship far better than ordinary people in the martial arts world. Luo Yuanquan sat behind him. This horse was rare and mighty, and he could run fast with the two of them.

Shifang and Mingyue were next to them, still walking in the seemingly ordinary stroll, but followed them slowly without even looking. Xiaoxia could also guess that Luo Yuanyun looked at Mingyue with a foolish look on her face as before.

Looking at the four men in black in front of him, Xiao Xia couldn't help feeling strange again. Since he learned that Shadow Shirt Guard was arresting him and Mingyue, he had already imagined countless scenes of fighting and calculating between himself and Shadow Shirt Guard in his mind, but he never thought that he would act with several Shadow Shirt Guards.

Maybe these shadow guards themselves had never thought of it. When they first met, the four people exchanged their eyes hidden and fast, but they could not hide it from Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia was sure that these four shadow guards definitely recognized him and Mingyue, but they could only choose to remain silent at the same time. Judging from their attitude towards Luo Yuanquan, Xiao Xia knew that that was their most important task at present.

Walking with them is also the helpless choice of these four dog guards. Luo Yuanquan would rather die than leave the goddess Mingyue Fairy in his mind, and they are not good at using force. After Shifang revealed their identities, they could only persevere. Shadow Shirt Guard is a hawk in the Tian family, and the emperor now attaches great importance to Buddhism. Shadow Shirt Guard also cooperates with the Pure Land Zen Temple. After a conversation with Shifang, they found that everyone's purpose seemed to be the same, and they were all following Liu Hongde and Zhang Hengliang. Without really having a choice, these four dog guards could only do this.

After learning that Nangong Wuji was fighting with Zhang Yuhong in Hongjing City, Shifang had no idea. The Pure Land Zen Temple has been under the care of Shadows in secret. Even if he rushed back to Hongjing City, he didn't know where to help. If he wanted to dissuade the two, Nangong Wuji and Zhang Yuhong were far higher than him in both cultivation and status, and they had no ability or face. He had no choice but to follow him.

However, the tracking level of these four shadow shirt guards is far higher than that of Shifang and Xiaoxia who are half a bucket of water. The traces they need to carefully distinguish seem obvious to the eyes of these four people. Just following the traces, it really saves Xiaoxia a lot of trouble.

A group of horses followed him and Xiao Xia carefully looked at the four black-clothed shadow guards in front of him. If it weren't for Li Shishi, this was his first close contact with these legendary court hawks.

As a semi-secret organization in the Daqian court that controlled the world, the Shadow Shirt Guard's energy and ability were far greater than ordinary people in the Jianghu. After experiencing the collapse of the previous dynasty, although people were determined to establish the country, there were many families in the world, and the situation of separating the country was already a foregone conclusion. The open binding force of the imperial government was not very good, and most of the time it was relying on Shadow Shirt Guard to act in secret. It can be seen that every Shadow Shirt Guard is a real elite.

Xiao Xia could feel a familiar aura from the four people in front of him, cold, sharp, and iron-blooded, just like the most elite soldiers in the Yongzhou army. These people are actually no longer people in the world.

It seemed as if he could feel his gaze behind him. The four people in front turned to look at him one after another, with cold eyes.

Xiao Xia smiled slightly without a smile. As for why she was following Liu Hongde, none of the four of them revealed any slightest remarks, but Xiao Xia was definitely happy to see the shadow shirt guards being unable to take care of themselves. If Nangong Wuji was cut off by Zhang Yuhong in Hongjing City, he would be even more proud of him.

While thinking about it, a small town appeared in front of him. The four shadow shirt guards turned their horses and ran towards the edge of the town. At the same time, they shouted loudly: "Come on, that's there."

But at this moment, a magnificent and imposing golden light column suddenly soared into the sky from a small house in the distance, and transformed into two golden light images of a dragon and a tiger in the air. With a faint dragon roar, the two golden beasts pounced down in the air and rushed straight towards the small house below.
