C9 (2/2)

The Daoist smiled and said, ”The young master has already used a divine art to protect himself at such a young age. This is truly a cause for celebration.”

If it were any other young man, they would have jumped in joy. However, Jiang Cheng did not jump in joy. In fact, he did not even jump in joy.

Jiang Cheng said, ”Senior, do you see any difference?”

The Daoist stroked his white beard and said, ”I presume that young master has just entered the martial arts world and is unaware of this. According to legend, in the far south, there was a cold mountain. The mountain was covered with a thousand years of snow, and not a single blade of grass grew on it. However, on the peak of the mountain grew a divine tree, which was incredibly large. Its branches and leaves flourished, and the sun rose over the entire mountain. From afar, the Divine Wood seemed like a large umbrella cover that tightly covered the cold mountain. Therefore, the mountain was changed to the umbrella cover mountain. The divine tree on the mountaintop wouldn't burn even if it was on fire. After being burnt, it would only turn black and become tougher than steel. If you can turn the burned Divine Wood into a weapon, then forget about Number One Under Heaven, you can even walk the martial arts forest alone. ”

River City frowned and said, ”If what senior said is true, then the trees at the top of the mountain should have been cut down long ago. There aren't many left.” If everyone took a piece of wood and used it as a weapon, wouldn't they be able to walk the martial arts forest alone? In any case, everyone had one, and no one could beat the other. In that case, the world would be much calmer. How could a mere piece of wood surpass a martial arts crowd of heroes? It's a little too exaggerated. ”

The Daoist Priest felt that this youth's thoughts were somewhat extreme. He secretly shook his head and said, ”The world is vast. There are countless strange things. We have never seen them with our own eyes. Whether we believe them or not is not something to be recklessly determined.” Then he stroked his beard and peeked at them from the corner of his eyes, hoping they understood. Then, he continued, ”This is just a rumour that hasn't been confirmed. Although the people in the martial arts world wanted that piece of wood, they didn't even know where to find that umbrella canopy mountain or where to find that divine tree. Furthermore, although the wood was good, it was extremely difficult to obtain. Under the leaves of this divine wood, where there was shade, there was poison. Within the hills, there are many poisonous snakes and scorpions. If someone were to find that mountain, they would only be able to forget about it, let alone break it. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the black fan in his hand, and saw that the patterns were indeed lines on a tree, he then heard Daoist Zhen Zhen saying, ”If you talk about making a person walk alone in the martial arts forest, it's only because that tree grows in the Poison Cave, it can't help but take in poisonous gas all year round, and its branches and leaves contain its own poison. However, those who were injured by the wood poison would at least lose their skin, lose their internal energy, or even lose their seven orifices. They would die on the spot. Although ordinary swords and sabers could be coated with poison, they were not poisonous. You can't always do that in a fight, can you? Ordinary plants and vegetation can also be poisonous, but they will not be as hard as iron. ”

Jiang Cheng frowned and asked, ”Then, senior, which divine tree do you think I am?”

Daoist Zhen said, ”This Penniless Priest can't see it either, but it shouldn't be. I wonder where this fan came from? ”

Jiang Cheng said, ”This is a gift from my aunt when I was coming down the mountain. It definitely isn't some wooden log on top of that umbrella!” He sounded happy.

The Daoist man frowned and asked, ”Martial artists, do you not wish to walk the world alone?” When the Young Master heard this, he concluded that this fan was not made from divine wood and was instead happy.

River City replied, ”If my aunt really gave me such a precious gift, how could I dare to accept it? Also, based on what senior said just now, junior felt that this wood is extremely poisonous and evil. It isn't some divine wood. Such an evil being, even if it is of myriad uses, I would not want it. ”

In the martial world, there was no one who didn't want their own martial arts to rule the world. Some people didn't even care what methods they used. Whether it was secretly learning, scheming, encountering by chance, or eating strange flowers or herbs, as long as it was beneficial for his own skill, he would use all of his mental energy to obtain them.

The young man in front of him had the heart of a chivalrous hero. It was just that he was too stubborn. If he gave a little guidance, he would definitely become a true hero.

Daoist Xu Zhen said, ”Young Master is open-minded and benevolent, it's really rare! However, in the world, there was definitely a right and a wrong. It was like the night and day of the world alternating endlessly. It is not natural for us to insist on staying in the day because we are tired of the night. ” River City seemed to be deep in thought as he listened to Daoist Honest Qi's words. He could not help but nod his head.

Although the few of them were on foot, they had already spent some time on the road, but were still unable to find any traces of the Immortal Crocodile Manor. Daoist Zhen asked again, ”How far is it from your esteemed mansion?”

Jiang Cheng said, ”I was careless. I forgot to tell you guys. ”I would like to first explore the courtyard of the Qiao family before heading to the village.”

Daoist Voidgrace was truly vexed. He didn't want to get involved, but he just couldn't escape.

The Daoist man was still unwilling to go, but there was nothing he could do. He was an outsider, so it was inconvenient for him to persuade her either. That young girl, Xiao Lan, seemed very close to River City. If she didn't tell him, he might be able to change his mind. Thinking for a moment, he said seriously, ”As the saying goes, a person has three souls and seven souls. Those who had died in vain would have their souls gathered and not dispersed due to resentment. The twelve people of the Qiao family had all died in vain, and their deaths looked weird. There must be ghosts and vengeful spirits in the courtyard. If we go here, we must be afraid of a disaster. ”

He purposely raised his voice so that Xiao Lan could hear.

As expected, Xiao Lan heard it and felt a chill on her back. She hurriedly ran to the side of River City and looked at it with her round eyes. After a moment, he suddenly became happy and said to the Daoist Master of Truth, ”Aren't you Daoists the ones who capture ghosts? ”I'm not afraid anymore as long as you guys are here!”
