Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 737: Dengzhen
On the water waves, Rui Xiao and Lu Tong sat opposite each other.
Wei Xiao said: "Liangyao Zhengguo and Chengguo are not bordering each other. They are separated by countries such as Desolate Ruins, Demonic Ruins, and Dengzhen. Fellow Taoist, is it just because a real person defected that you put so much trouble into it?"
Desolate Ruins and Demonic Ruins are both terms used in Jiguo.
Desolate ruins are mountains and rivers that were completely destroyed by evil spirits hundreds of years ago, also called desolate soil. The Demon Ruins are the areas occupied by the Demons.
None of them are suitable for human reproduction and are like ruins.
Lu Tongtong: "It's more than that. The Prime Minister is a thief from all countries. Yesterday he escaped with a guard, and tomorrow there will be another guard. He must be punished and completely cut off the thoughts of the Prime Minister."
Xu Xiao nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, asked: "Is this the intention of one fellow Taoist, or is it the intention of all the hall masters of the Liangyao Zhengguo?"
Lu Tong blinked and said: "Is there any difference? What I mean is the meaning of Liangyao Zhengguo."
Xu Xiao was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "My fellow Taoist has extraordinary means, which is really enviable."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Tong knew the situation in Jiguo very well.
Xiao Xiao was originally a disciple of the sect leader. He was of high birth but low in seniority.
When the country was founded, all the mountains, peaks, and major families of the Donghai Sect were incorporated into Jiguo almost intact.
Jiguo is therefore powerful.
However, everything has its pros and cons, which has led to the mountains becoming densely populated. The leader of a country, Xiu Xiao, is simply unable to control many of his "predecessor subordinates".
Pretending to be ignorant, he asked: "Don't fellow Taoists have the final say in Jiguo's affairs?"
"Hey."
Xiao Xiao sighed, frowning, with a sad look on his face.
Lu Tong watched quietly.
Xu Xiao was silent for a long time and said: "If my fellow Taoist had joined Ji State that year, and you and I had joined forces, I am afraid that our current strength would not be weaker than that of Shang Lin State."
Lu Tong smiled and said, "Now we have the opportunity to join forces again."
Wei Xiao did not respond.
Lu Tongtong: "Fellow Taoist, don't you believe me?"
Xu Xiao shook his head and said: "Jiguo is different from Liangyao Zhengguo. Such important matters need to convene the national advisor and the seven elders to discuss together, and then select the mountains and generals to make a decision together, and finally make a decision."
"Fellow Taoist knows people and makes good use of them, Lu admires me!"
Hearing Lu Tong's compliment, the sadness on Xiao Xiao's face became even more intense.
The seven elders each hold real power.
Originally, there were six elders, three elders, Meizao, Juming, and Tianjing, and three major families, the Geng family, the Zhao family, and the Yuan family. After the merger of Jianze Kingdom, an old man and a national teacher were added.
Weak Xiao is full of worries.
Lu Tong chatted casually, then stood up and said: "Fellow Taoist, the state affairs are heavy, please forgive me for resigning first. If you, Taoist, intend to join forces, please send envoys at any time to communicate."
"Okay."
……
"Master, the blue crow is here."
"Take it to the Golden Dragon Palace first."
Golden Dragon Palace.
Qingya sat cross-legged behind the table, eyes slightly closed, tapping the long sword on his leg lightly with his knuckles.
"Ding, buzz..."
The sword buzzed.
The sword body trembled slightly, and the ear decoration on the sword grid seemed to hear a sound, and swayed from side to side in response to the sound.
The blue crow’s ears also moved accordingly.
Lu Tong entered the palace and stood in the distance and listened for a while.
Qingya stopped, wiped the blade of the sword and put it into the scabbard, and said, "Who will I kill this time?"
"Dragon King."
"The monster in Longchao Mountain?"
"Yeah."
"How many?"
"Five."
Lu Tong went and sat down.
There was no expression on Qingya’s face and he said: “It’s not easy to kill.”
"Why have I become less courageous after practicing for an extra hundred years?"
Lu Tong took out the tea set and made tea.
Qingya looked at the teapot and teacup and said, "I know the Second Dragon King, and his magical power can restrain me."
"Drown the wave dragon?"
"Yeah."
"Leave it to me."
"The Great Dragon King is very strong, it will take time to kill him."
Lu Tong curled his lips and said, "Leave the purple cicada to you, and I will arrange the other drowning dragons, dragon whales, golden carps, and ancient viper lizards."
"Okay."
The two decided on their opponent in a few words.
Qingya looked at the rising water vapor, was silent for a while, and said: "Be careful of the ancient viper lizard."
Lu Tong stopped and asked, "There is very little information about this demon. What magical powers does it have?"
"An ancient strange beast with a needle on its head."
"What needle?"
"I don't know. The Second Dragon King said that the needles are its eyes, horns, teeth, and stomach."
Lu Tong frowned, nodded slightly, and continued to make tea.
After a while, he pushed over a cup of tea and asked: "I want to ask about something, and I hope that fellow Taoists will give me some advice. It seems that some people in Lianzhou Mountain are unwilling to go south. Do fellow Taoists know the reason?"
"What's going south?"
Qingya looked dull.
Lu Tong immediately realized that he had asked the wrong person. He smiled and shook his head and said, "The fairy ship is heading south. The master of Bonwan Mountain has this intention, but there are people who oppose it. Have you heard of it?"
"No."
"Then...how strong is Lord Bonan in Lianzhou Mountain?"
"Alright."
Lu Tong picked up the teacup and took a sip.
It's okay, but not strong.
He put down the tea cup and said: "Among the many immortal ships, which ones are on good terms with Lord Bonan?"
Qing Ya lowered his head, a few blue veins popped up next to his ears, and his ears opened a little.
"What are you going to do?"
"Send the mountain master a big gift. Liangyao Zhengguo has a lot of business dealings with various fairy ships. This time, the mountain master Bonan sent you to help me, so I will naturally repay you."
"Heaven."
Qingya picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Fairy boy.", "Shanxu", "Shake"...
Half an hour later.
After Lu Tong entertained the blue bird and settled it down, he returned to the Ziqi Palace and immediately shouted: "Little blue bird."
"Here."
"Go to Hall Master Yongwu and find out more about the magical power of the 'Ancient Viper Lizard'."
"Yes."
"Send someone to call Hall Master Yun Ao to come over."
"Yes."
……
One month later.
Underground, Lu Tong stood beside the rift valley, looking at the huge flowers growing from the deepest depths of the ground, looking very surprised.
The flowers are huge, more than a hundred feet in diameter, stretching across both sides of the canyon.
The extremely thick petals are dark red in color and are covered with twisted lines and strange patterns, like various struggling remains.
"Father."
A half-phoenix landed next to it, covered in fire feathers, with red eyes, four fangs protruding from its lips, and the fingers of its hands were extremely sharp.
"What kind of flower is this?"
"Red Fairy."
"Your mother raised you?"
"Yeah."
"Where is she?"
"Inside the flower heart."
Banfeng points downward.
Lu Tong threw out a drop of blood spirit and jumped down.
"Thank you, father!"
Banfeng swallowed the blood spirit, flapped its wings and chased after him, grabbed Lu Tong's shoulders with both hands, and said: "Father, I will take you to see your mother."
Rock bottom.
The billowing blood filled the air, and there seemed to be countless red suns hidden in it, blooming with billions of red lights.
"Mother, father is here."
Banfeng let go of his hands, turned around and flew up.
Lu Tong walked toward the red light.
On the stems of the fairy flower, like a fruit tree, there are bright red fruits about one foot in size. The peel is thin and translucent, and the juice inside emits a dazzling light.
One of the fruits broke open.
A large amount of juice fell, Dian Si'er walked out slowly, his white skin covered with red juice.
"Master."
"What method is this?"
Lu Tong stroked Dian Si'er's cheek, wiping out the blood-red blood on his hand.
Dian Si'er took out a red robe, wrapped it around his body, and said: "The Golden Cauldron Wonderful Chapter is not an evil method, it is the ancient immortal method of the Eight Classics."
Lu Tong didn’t quite believe it.
The ancient immortal's method emphasizes nature and purity. This kind of place is very evil, and Dian Si'er's breath is not pure either.
"Given by the First Demon Lord?"
Dian Si'er shook his head, took Lu Tong's arm and walked towards the spider nest.
The furnishings in the spider nest are very simple, with only a stone platform, and everything else is made of snow-white spider silk. Books, tea sets, etc. are placed directly on the spider silk.
Lu Tong sat on the floor.
Dian Si'er sat next to him and handed over a pipe.
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment and said: "How did you..."
Dian Si'er took out another rod, took out tobacco, lights, etc., and said: "I often thought about Madam Ninth the past few days, and I kept thinking about her all day long. I don't know why, but by some strange coincidence, I started to imitate her."
Dian Si'er stuffed the tobacco very skillfully, leaned over the flame and took a deep breath, then lay on the spider silk and started puffing out the clouds.
Lu Tong also put on his pipe, took a few puffs, and lay down together.
"What have you been planning these years?"
"Big deal."
Lu Tong smiled.
Dian Si'er has been very mysterious these years, and he is used to this kind of mystery, but he is still very curious in his heart.
"What's the big deal?"
Dian Si'er was quiet for a while, then suddenly smiled, got up and went to Lu Tong's side, blowing a puff of mist on him.
"Master, what will you do if I become the master of a country?"
"Huh?"
Lu Tong looked sideways.
Dian Si'er curled his lips and said, "How about the country of female demons?"
"Who's helping you?"
Lu Tong stared at Dian Si'er.
Establishing a country is a major event, and Dian Si'er alone cannot accomplish it. Even if the first demon lord is included, there will be some shortcomings.
Dian Si'er looked away and said, "Wanyi."
"Wanyi?"
"Well, Wan Yi and I founded the country together, and both Xiang Huan and Xian Mei are with Wan Yi."
Lu Tong frowned, sighed after a few breaths, lay down again, bit his pipe, took a deep breath, and said: "Without the support of powerful people, you can't build a country."
"The demons don't need great power."
"So..."
Lu Tong suddenly stopped.
The demons have survived to this day by virtue of their favorable geographical location, snatching away from here and there, looking very majestic.
But this trend cannot last long.
Now that all countries are restraining each other, no one is distracted from the crusade. Once the battle between the countries is over, the demons will face a catastrophe of life and death.
Since he started plotting to help the country, Lu Tong had already had the next thought in his mind. If the country could be captured, he might be able to double-team him and get rid of the demons.
"Hey."
He sighed, threw away his pipe, grabbed Dian Si'er, held her in his arms, and said, "Why can't you be more peaceful?"
"Why are you so restless, sir?"
Lu Tong looked at Dian Si'er, gradually smiled, nodded and said: "Very good."
Practice is a struggle for life.
Competing with heaven, competing with people, competing with yourself, fighting for your life is also a matter of heart.
If your heart is broken, your life will soon be over.
Dian Si'er threw away his red robe.
Lu Tong gathered up his robe and said, "I am going to attack Jiguo."
"Okay."
……
Two months later.
Fifteen wind-calling boats passed by the sky, carrying thousands of monks into the territory of Dengzhen Kingdom.
Lu Tong stood on the deck, spreading out his magic power.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the real person from Dengzhen Kingdom never appeared.
He shook his head, gathered his breath, and said: "The Dengzhen Kingdom, which was like a fairyland back then, has become so dilapidated."
"This country is no different than a subjugated country."
Jushou stood aside, looking around, with several subordinates beside him to record the mountains, rivers, devil caves, etc. along the way.
The Hufeng boat sailed out and gradually approached Hanzhen Mountain.
In front of the mountain is a city.
The treasure palaces, jade towers, golden light, and auspiciousness of those days have all disappeared, and even the three-color lotus flowers have all withered, leaving only broken palaces with missing corners and eaves.
A middle-aged man stopped in front, rolled up his spiritual energy, and shouted: "Who is he?"
"Zhu Guozhu?"
Lu Tong knows the visitor.
Zhu Andu, the leader of Dengzhen Kingdom. Although his appearance has changed, the hundred-colored glow on his body is still the same robe from a hundred years ago.
"You are..."
"Good demon, Lu Tong."
"Lord Lu!"
Zhu Andu looked excited and strode to Lu Tong. When he was only half a foot away, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Tong. He also looked at the wind-calling boats, and his expression became very lonely.
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
"I am sending troops to the Kingdom of Cheng together with the ruler of the weak and prosperous country. I need to borrow it from now on. I sent an envoy to pass the message last month. Didn't the Lord Zhu see it?"
"Where can there be envoys from the Dengzhen Kingdom..."
Zhu Andu shook his head and sighed.
The two exchanged pleasantries and headed down to the palace, while Ju Shu took the people to Hanzhen Mountain to rest.
Taixuan Palace.
Revisiting the old place is no longer surrounded by hundreds of officials, and there is no longer a hundred-colored precious light and blue spiritual water.
Zhu Andu sat on the futon with an embarrassed look on his face and said: "Lord Lu, I am so ashamed, I am so ridiculous!"
"Zhu Guozhu, you don't have to be like this! Things are unpredictable, and you will inevitably encounter bad luck. As long as you save your life, sooner or later, you will have great success!"
Zhu Andu's face was much relieved.
Lu Tong continued: "Besides, pardon Lu's blunt words! Although the last time I came here, it was prosperous, but behind the prosperity was all filth. Now it is quiet and not stained with filth. I just need to rest and gather strength, and it will be done soon. Soaring into the sky!"
"Lord Lu!"
Zhu Andu was deeply touched.
When Lu Tong took Zhang Qiao away and swept away all the major families, Zhu Andu was originally full of complaints, but he did not dare to speak because of his strength.
Now that the complaints have been wiped out, there is some gratitude.
Deng Zhenguo has been bullied for too long and has not been taken seriously by anyone for many years. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Tongtong: "The fault of Dengzhen does not lie with fellow Taoists. If fellow Taoists need it, I am willing to do my little bit to help fellow Taoists revive Dengzhen!"
"Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Zhu An suddenly stood up, strode to Lu Tong, cupped his hands and said: "It is a blessing to be able to meet Taoist friends! It is a blessing for me! Please send troops to help me expel the demons!"
Lu Tong stood up and helped Zhu Andu up, saying: "It's nothing to worry about just the demon clan. When I return, I will immediately dispatch an elite Taoist army to help my fellow Taoists protect the country!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Zhu Andu wants to pay his respects again.
Lu Tong held on firmly and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, the top priority is not to say thank you, but to reorganize the officials and rebuild Dengzhen."
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Andu was so excited that he returned to the futon. He suddenly stopped halfway, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, please stay for a few more days!"
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, as long as I'm here, the demons won't dare to invade!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
That night, there was a spacious hall deep inside Hufengzhou.
Lu Tong entered the hall.
A burly white-faced monk prostrated himself on the ground and said: "Greetings to the Lord!"
"Yeah."
Lu Tong walked to the top and sat down, saying: "Sui Shilin, someone will introduce you to return to Dengzhen in three days and look for an opportunity to take charge of all the Taoist soldiers of Dengzhen Kingdom."
"Yes!"
In the Sui Dynasty, Shilin, a brave general who originally came to the Zhen Kingdom, was later lured to Shuishi City, and then was lured by Zhang Qiao to join the Liangyao Zheng Kingdom.
Lu Tongtong: "Besides you, there are many colleagues among officials and merchants. The people from the Hall of Ceremonies will arrange for you to get to know each other, and you will follow the orders of the Hall of Ceremonies in the future."
"Understood."
Lu Tong turned his hand and took out ten kilograms of blood, threw it towards Sui Shilin, and said: "Go down."
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
