272 Scattered in the wild
The fat monk holding the wooden fish and the thin old Taoist priest hurriedly left the Suxian Mansion in Zhouzhuang and headed towards Gusu City.
The two of them walked like flying, sneaking all the way, looking back and forth from time to time, beware of someone following. After a few hours, they came to a ruined temple in the wilderness, pushed the door in, and closed it again.
Su Chen's expression was indifferent, and he followed them two or three miles behind them unhurriedly. With his current powerful divine thoughts, it would be easy to keep track of the two Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators.
...
In this ruined temple, there are three men in ragged clothes, raising a bunch of bonfires to roast wild boar, drinking wine and eating meat, and feasting.
Several of them were also loose cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining, and they were obviously in the same group as the fat monk and the thin old Taoist, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw the two of them come back.
"Hey, bald head tuo, red eyebrows, you two went to Su Xian Mansion to inquire about the truth, why did you come back so soon? Could it be that you touched a nail?!"
One of them, a big man dressed as a beggar, with his hair disheveled, reclined on the muddy ground, biting on a piece of wild boar leg meat, grinned.
"Don't say it, bad luck! This Dao originally wanted to take advantage of Su Mansion's big birthday and offer a spirit pill, and use this opportunity to become a guest of Su Immortal Mansion and find out the details of Su Immortal Mansion.
Unexpectedly, another mysterious masked female monk came up, and when she came up, she showed a true elixir and ridiculed me. She doesn't seem to be afraid of the two of us at all, so it's not easy to mess with. Afraid of startling the snake, he came back first and reported the situation to the flag bearer first. ”
The thin old Taoist priest sat down by the bonfire and cut off a large piece of barbecue meat from the bonfire rack, his eyes showing a hideous color, and he was extremely annoyed.
This group of three or five monks was originally a group of low-level casual cultivators who had been moving around Middle-earth, and they occasionally got together.
They had also gone to various immortal cities in the Middle-earth Immortal Cultivation Realm to cultivate.
But his ability is too low, and he has not earned any spirit stones and spirit pills for cultivation for decades, and has been lingering in the early stage of qi refining, and his life in Immortal City is really difficult, and there is almost no hope of stepping on a higher foundation building realm. As for worshipping the various large and small immortal sects, those are even more legends, and there is no need to expect extravagance.
Some of them were at the lowest level of casual cultivation, so they simply gave up their penance in the immortal cultivation realm, and instead traveled around the mortal world.
The mortal world is not very easy to mix, and the materials for cultivation are almost impossible to find.
The foundation of the Five Great Immortal Sects of Shenzhou is an immortal envoy who protects the Tang Dynasty royal family and prohibits immortal cultivators from setting foot in, usurping the Tang Emperor's industry, or making waves in the mortal world. The immortal envoys inspected the world year after year, and they didn't dare to commit any crimes.
What they can do in the mortal world is nothing more than to be at ease, to be a wandering monk, a Taoist priest, or even a beggar. Or, go to the mountains and big cities to be a reclusive tycoon, and enjoy the blessings of the mortal world. Once they dare to get involved in the government without authorization, what awaits them is the severe punishment of the five immortal sect patrol envoys.
In short, the future of the road of cultivating immortals is hopeless, and they dare not touch the imperial industry of the mortal world.
For a low-level casual cultivator like them, they can't reach the world or the ground, they are like lonely souls and wild ghosts, and they have no future, which is quite depressing.
A month ago, a mysterious banner envoy who claimed to be the Demon Scar Alliance suddenly found the two low-level cultivators, Red Eyebrows and Bald Toutuo, and invited them to join the Demon Scar Alliance, and asked them to collect information about the relatives of various Immortal Sect monks in the mortal world in the Jiangnan area, and recruit the scattered cultivators to join the group.
The mysterious banner envoy promised that as long as he found relevant news about the relatives of the various immortal sects in the mortal world, or pulled them into cultivation, he would give them some elixirs for cultivation.
The bald head Tuo and the red eyebrows are naturally overjoyed.
In the past, there had never been any Immortal Sect to let them join, but now this Demon Demon Alliance actually took the initiative to invite these low-level small cultivators to join... Even if it's the Demon Sect, they don't mind joining the gang and coming out with a future.
The two of them gathered three or five familiar small cultivators such as beggars, and went around to inquire about the news of various Immortal Sect cultivators.
The old man with red eyebrows knew that the Su Immortal Mansion in Gusu County had produced an immortal cultivator.
A mortal mansion like Su Immortal Mansion that once gave birth to immortal cultivators. If it weren't for the deep hatred, other immortal cultivators would avoid it and wouldn't touch it easily. After all, no one knows what luck will be, and whether he will become a powerful character in the immortal cultivation world in the future.
As soon as the Su family monk went, he was never heard from, and he didn't know whether he was mixing in the Immortal City or worshipping in the Immortal Sect.
They weren't sure about that. I wanted to find an excuse first, infiltrate the Su Immortal Mansion, and inquire about the news.
If it is to worship the Immortal Sect, kill all the relatives of the Su Immortal Mansion and vent their anger for the Demon Alliance.
If it is a loose cultivator like them, they will be coerced to join the Demonic Alliance and join the Demon Scar Alliance together to increase the strength of the Demon Scar Alliance.
This matter was not difficult for the bald head and the red eyebrows.
The red-eyed old man originally wanted to use a refining elixir to sneak into the Su Immortal Mansion and find out the details of the Su Immortal Mansion, so that he could do it. Unexpectedly, they met a female immortal cultivator of unknown origin, which ruined their good deeds.
"There are actually female monks watching the scene in this Su Immortal Mansion, which is not something that ordinary casual cultivators can do. How strong the cultivation of that female monk is, could it be that she is also a monk of the Immortal Sect?"
When the beggar heard this, his eyes lit up.
"That female monk's strength is estimated to be at least a monk above the middle stage of Qi refining. The two of us certainly can't, but the five of us together might be able to capture the friarsis in one fell swoop. Perhaps, you can collect some materials for cultivation.
If we capture an Immortal Sect monk alive, we may be able to be promoted to the new Banner Leader, be reused by the Demon Demon Alliance, and even be rewarded by Tsukidan!"
The fat monk touched his clear bald head and snorted coldly with a fierce look.
The Banner Bearer once said that if he made a great contribution to the Demon Demon Alliance, he would not only have a chance to be promoted to the Banner Bearer, but he would even be able to hope for Tsukidan.
Of course, it's not easy. You need to make enough meritorious deeds.
"Yes, with the five of us joining forces, we have a chance to make this achievement. ”
In the temple of the city god, all the scattered cultivators were excited and discussed.
Whether it is killing the disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect and their relatives, or attracting scattered cultivators to join the Demon Demon Alliance, this is a meritorious achievement. Once promoted to the Great Bannerman, you will receive a Tsukidan reward.
This is naturally extremely tempting for them to cultivate like lonely souls and wild ghosts.
...
"Crunch!"
The gate of the ruined temple was pushed open, and a young monk with a package on his back stood in the doorway.
In the temple, the bald heads, the red eyebrows, the beggars and other scattered cultivators were discussing, and they were startled by this voice, and suddenly drew their knives and stood up, looking outside the temple gate.
Being able to approach the City God Temple silently without being noticed by their five Qi Refining Cultivators in time is definitely an immortal cultivator.
"Who is Your Excellency, trespassing on my City God Temple?"
The red-eyebrow Taoist priest's eyes were gloomy, worried that what he had just discussed would be leaked, so he couldn't help but say sharply.
The young monk didn't seem to expect that there were so many scattered cultivators gathered in the broken temple, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his hand, and said politely: "In the northern part of the lower river, I came to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that there is a fellow monk in the Suxian Mansion in Gusu Zhouzhuang, and he plans to visit and learn from the immortals." Passing by this temple, I want to stay overnight and avoid the cold dew at night. I accidentally met all my fellow Taoists gathered here, and I was very offended. ”
The Red Eyebrow Taoist and other loose cultivators couldn't help but look at the young monks.
The aura of this young monk, which is about the same as the initial stage of qi refining, is similar to them. Moreover, his cloth shoes and trouser legs were stained with mud and dust, obviously a dusty servant, who had traveled a long way from other places to Gusu.
The scattered cultivators glanced at each other and relaxed their guard, but there were a few joys under their eyes, all of which were tacit understanding.
Every time you recruit a loose cultivator to join the Demon Demon Alliance, you can get a few low-level elixirs rewarded by the Banner Leader. This young man came over recklessly, but it was a benefit that was sent to the door in vain.
"Oh, it turned out to be a loose cultivator from Jiangbei. Since we are fellow believers, we are also destined! Come, eat meat together, and drink some bars!"
The stern eyes of the red-eyed old man relaxed, and he beckoned and said kindly.
"Thank you! I came from Gusu City at noon, and I don't know how long it will take to reach Zhouzhuang, and I am a little hungry. ”
Su Chen smiled humbly, entered the City God's Broken Temple, and sat down next to several scattered cultivators.
The scattered cultivators sat on the ground and talked loudly, and it was inevitable that they would exchange immortal paths.
The Red Eyebrow Old Dao was obviously the best among the early stage of Qi refining, and the only Qi Refining Cultivator who had cultivated magic skills couldn't help but reveal his ability.
The red-eyed old man raised his hand and slapped it lightly, and suddenly a flame ignited on the palm, and he said proudly: "This is the flame palm that has been cultivated for thirty years by the poor Dao, I'm afraid you haven't seen it, right?!"
"Brother Dao is amazing!"
Su Chen's eyes suddenly showed a little admiration.
He claimed that he had just stepped into the Qi Refining Realm by mistake, and he had never practiced any methods, but unfortunately he had never found the guide of the Immortal Dao, and he couldn't help but ask what skills they had learned.
The old man with red eyebrows was quite proud, and claimed to have learned a few good spiritual arts and immortal techniques, which could be taught to Su Chen.
However, Su Chen had to worship the Demon Demon Sect.
"Demon Alliance?... This person has a magic word, isn't it the authentic Immortal Dao?!Fellow Daoists, why do you want to worship the Demon Alliance?"
When Su Chen heard this, he suddenly showed hesitation, and seemed to be very unwilling.
The red-eyed old man's face suddenly sank, his eyes stared at Su Chen, and he said sharply: "Hmph, if you don't obey, you have to obey, but I can't help you! From today on, you will stay in this broken temple and you are not allowed to go anywhere." After a while, the Banner Bearer will come from the south, and his old man will personally lead you into the Alliance!"
Bald Tuo and the other scattered cultivators were all fierce, glaring at Su Chen. If you dare to say that you don't have a son, everyone will draw their swords and stand up, and they will cut Su Chen into meat in an instant.
Su Chen seemed to be deeply shocked by the ferocity of their group of Qi refining and dispersing cultivators, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't! I don't know what kind of character the flag bearer is, but the legendary foundation building senior?"
"Hmph, you'll know when you see it. Little brother, those who know the times are Junjie, I don't think you look like an ignorant person! A small cultivator like ours has no hope of entering the Immortal Sect. How good it is to follow the Demon Demon Alliance to eat and drink spicy food, maybe you can mix it up and become a foundation-building predecessor admired by thousands of our low-level monks!"
The red-eyed old man asked the scattered cultivators to sit down and sneered.
He had already introduced three loose cultivators to become disciples of the Demon Slayer Alliance, and when he had all ten of them, he would be promoted to the new Banner Leader and receive many benefits from the Demon Slayer Alliance's rewards. When you accumulate enough merits, you will be rewarded by Tsukidan, and there is great hope.
