Liu family ancestral temple.
The originally spacious hall that could accommodate hundreds of people was now crowded with people. Even the long stairs outside the hall were surrounded by people who came to watch the show.
This is a grand scene rarely seen even in ancestor worship.
After all, ancestor worship is the Liu family's business, but now it is a matter of almost the entire Miaojiang area. They have heard that someone seems to have come to the Liu family to cause trouble.
I also heard that he was a Taoist priest, and he had a little nephew with him, who looked about eight or nine years old. I wonder if he has been weaned
"I heard that the people who came here are from Maoshan?"
"Yes, my grandmother told me that the man came here more than ten years ago, but unfortunately he went back in disgrace."
"That's right. Don't you see where we are? Is it that easy to snatch the bride?"
"That's right. Aunt Wei was so talented back then, and she also inherited the secret Gu. If it weren't for her, she might have become an elder long ago."
As he spoke, there was a series of voices of regret during this period of time.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Miao people, once a Miao woman falls in love with an outsider, her possibility of rising in the Liu family will basically be cut off.
Not to mention the precious witchcraft, witchcraft and other resources.
The reason why geniuses are geniuses is not only because they are gifted, but also because they enjoy resources that only geniuses can enjoy.
Whether it is materials, secret techniques, teachers, or treatment, it is all a good cycle. The more talented you are, the better things you enjoy, and the easier it is to become a strong person.
"Hey, I heard from my grandma that the man left in disgrace back then. I guess he's more confident this time?"
"What confidence do you have? You brought a doll here. I guess you are here to beg for mercy."
"You're right. The Liu family is no pushover, especially with this high-profile declaration of war. Tsk tsk, it's simply a slap in the face."
"Haha, I hope that Maoshan guy is a little more powerful. It's not a good thing to scare a kid to tears."
"I bet that guy from Maoshan will go back in disgrace. If I lose, I'll just run to the toilet and eat shit!"
"Damn it, brother, you have a good appetite. You are sure to win. Oh, no, no, I also bet on Maoshan to lose. If I lose, I will eat two pieces!"
"Add me one, add me one, I'll eat three pieces, how about raising the bet by 20 cents?"
"Only a fool would bet on them to win this game, which is a sure win!"
"Hahaha… "
Several people laughed, and suddenly a small hand reached out and threw dozens of coins in front of them.
Several people were startled and looked up, only to find that it was a young girl. Judging from her attire, she seemed to be from Miaojiang, and she seemed unusual.
She just said coldly, "I bet on them to win!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at him as an idiot.
Until someone whispered, "She is Aunt Wei's daughter."
In an instant, his eyes turned into pity and amusement.
It turned out to be her! Ha!
The girl clenched her fists. She had gotten off the boat earlier than Russell and the others, just to give her mother a message in advance.
She didn't know why, she was clearly angry with Simu and had once sworn not to talk to him or forgive him.
But when she thought of her mother, she fell silent again.
Looking at the dozens of coins on the ground, the girl clenched her fists and said, "Come on, little Russell, don't let me down."
If you win, I will introduce my best friend to you.
"Why haven't you come yet? Are you afraid to come?"
Seeing the sun rising high, people began to talk. Some were already impatient and said all sorts of strange things.
“Boom!”
Another bell rang, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, because they understood that the people from Maoshan had arrived!
Everyone looked down at the stairs. The bluestone steps stretched endlessly, but no one was visible.
Where is it
Everyone was confused and looked at the empty steps in bewilderment. There was clearly no one there.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Quick, look up at the sky."
What happened in the sky
Before they could guess, a glowing figure dropped from the sky and landed in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a little baby, who looked to be in his teens, with an extremely childish face. There were several meter long wings spread out behind it, flashing with lightning, which was quite terrifying.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. Mastering thunder and being able to fly, this Maoshan was incredible...
"Maoshan Russell, come and pay homage to the mountain!"
With a loud shout, boundless momentum surged, causing countless people present to change color and feel uncomfortable all over.
Even the row of old men sitting high in front of the incense table couldn't help but open their eyes and stare at Russell in the courtyard.
“Boom!”
There was another muffled groan, and a black shadow fell heavily in the courtyard. The hard jade slab immediately made a crackling sound, and cracks spread out layer by layer.
Simu slowly stood up and glanced around inexplicably, still the same as before.
"The four eyes of Maoshan, come and pay homage to the mountain!"
This time, he was not as reserved as he was more than a decade ago. Instead, he held his chest straight and looked straight at the people at the table.
He knew these people. They were the head of the Liu family and the elders. The elders were all from Miaojiang, but not all of them had the surname Liu.
They glanced at each other, their gaze lingering on a woman with a hint of guilt in their eyes.
This is Gillian's master, but Gillian is her most proud, favorite and last-ditch disciple whom she treats as her own child.
Unfortunately, in the end...
In front of the incense table, a group of old men solemnly looked at these uninvited guests, including Russell with his thunderous wings spread out and the dull and wooden strong man with a dazed look.
Four eyes
He has been ignored by them. He is just a geomancer who has just been promoted. Although he is powerful, he cannot make much waves in the Liu family.
On the contrary, Russell, at a young age, has already reached the level of a master of earth, and has mastered the ferocious power of thunder.
Thunder, no matter what kind of demons, monsters, or poisonous insects, they are all inferior to it.
Next came the sturdy man, with a dull expression and a strong body. He looked like a guy who practiced physical training.
Although martial arts have declined nowadays, there are still some ancient traditions that come from ancient military generals who trained their physical fitness to the extreme.
Especially since he dropped from the sky and crushed the hard bluestone slab with one foot, but he himself was unharmed.
Few people can achieve this performance alone.
"Is this guy a barbarian from the south, or a witch from Liangshan?"
One of them turned his head and muttered quietly, saying that even though his physique had been trained to this level, he still couldn't feel the blood and qi smoke.
Normally at this stage, the Qi and blood expand, and no ghosts or gods can be seen within a radius of several feet.
He doesn't look like a mortal martial arts master at all, but more like a witch or a barbarian with a naturally strong physique.
"It's hard to say." An old man with long eyebrows lowered his eyes slightly, "Those guys don't bother with us, but they are afraid of the great disaster, so they haven't come out for a long time."
Everyone nodded. They had predicted the coming of a great catastrophe decades ago.
Not only did the major righteous sects in the Central Plains select their players and place their bets, they also made preparations early on, sealing off the Miao frontier to prevent people from leaving and getting involved in any disasters.
Therefore, the challenge Simu encountered was the most difficult, and Miaojiang did not intend to stop him. After all, it was Maoshan, and they could be considered a good match.
But the catastrophe is approaching, and if we are not careful, the Taoist tradition will be destroyed. The Taiyi Dao that shocked the world ten years ago disappeared into thin air, which scared many people.
"It can't be a zombie." One person spoke with a teasing tone, which instantly made the old men burst into laughter.
How is it possible that zombies appear in broad daylight
Besides, how could they not recognize the appearance of that zombie
Although they haven't been out for decades, they are not stupid.
Suddenly, the head of the Liu family, who was sitting at the chief seat, tapped the table lightly. In an instant, all the elders fell silent and looked at him straight.
Liu Kai, the head of the Liu family, slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Everyone, the people have already seen it, so let's proceed according to the original plan!"
The elders looked at each other and had no objection. After all, the news had already been given yesterday when Russell and the others came.
Maoshan’s visit was a big deal, and they had already prepared to discuss it overnight.
It’s just that the appearance of the three people today did give them some surprises.
"Song'er, go ahead!"
The head of the Liu family looked at the middle-aged man on the side. This was his second son, Liu Yunsong.
Liu Yunsong nodded, quickly walked through the back hall and came to the courtyard. The conversation seemed very slow, but in fact it took less than half an incense stick.
Russell had just taken a look at the Liu family compound, and it was really magnificent.
When he looked up, he saw a man walking towards him. Russell didn't bother to talk nonsense and just threw the token over to him.
Liu Yunsong took the token steadily, fumbled with it twice, and found that it was indeed the token of his Liu family. He nodded slowly.
He looked up at Russell, Four Eyes, and the Silver Armored Corpse, his eyes suddenly a little confused, "Where is my third brother?"
His third brother went to pick up the three people, but when the family arrived, where was his third brother
"There is insufficient funding. Your third brother is still on his way here on horseback."
"ah?"
Liu Yunsong's face was full of question marks and he looked dazed.
"In the back!" Russell crossed his arms in front of his chest, "I heard that your Liu family's nine levels are very powerful, show them all, I'm not afraid."
At such a young age, with that arrogant look, how come he looks a little cute
Liu Yunsong was not annoyed, "You two have reached the level of Earth Master, so the head of the family can skip the first six levels and start from the 7th level directly!"
The first six levels are designed to screen out those with low cultivation levels and some individual and miscellaneous cultivators.
Practicing is difficult, and people who are at the fourth or fifth level are basically considered masters, and those at the seventh or eighth level are considered powerful.
When you become a geomancer, you can basically give yourself a Taoist name and call yourself a Taoist.
The elders of the Liu family must be at least at this level.
Liu Yunsong clapped his hands lightly, "This seventh level is called Eighteen Bowls to Win the Battle, but it doesn't mean drinking."
"But you have to snatch the bowl of wine in the middle of the siege by the eighteen masters of the Liu family. If you can snatch it, you will pass the test!"
"Just a reminder, these eighteen masters all practiced the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Gu and the Brute Strength Longicorn Gu."
Liu Yunsong smiled very proudly and confidently, "Only one person can pass the level at a time."
As he spoke, he slowly walked backwards and disappeared into a group of shirtless strong men. It was obvious that he was one of the eighteen people.
Simu frowned, lowered his head and said slowly, "The Copper Skin and Iron Bones Gu, when used, can make a person have copper skin and iron bones. Rumor has it that someone used a knife to chop at it, but it didn't hurt anyone for several days."
"The Savage Longhorn Beetle Gu is as powerful as a Savage Bull. The Savage Longhorn Beetle was a demon beast before, and it is very powerful."
Simu had heard some of what Ah Jiao said before, so he had some understanding. If these eighteen people joined forces, it would be particularly difficult for them, the Taoists.
With one, the geomancer might still have it easy, but with two, he would have trouble, and with three, he would be at a disadvantage.
And if eighteen of them practiced the combined attack formation, then...
Simu's face looked a little ugly, not because he didn't think highly of little Russell, but because this was only the first hurdle they had come to.
There are only the second and third levels left, and the difficulty will definitely double.
"Copper Skin and Iron Bone Gu, Savage Longhorn Beetle Gu..."
Russell's eyelids twitched when he heard these two names. It must be a coincidence.
Looking at the eighteen strong men blocking his way, the legendary Liu family guards who were able to defeat the geomancer, Russell smiled.
He turned his head to look at the silver-armored corpse and said calmly, "Show mercy, don't beat him to death."
Russell's voice was not loud, but everyone present had a high level of cultivation, which immediately made them furious.
One of them angrily hit his chest with his fist.
"Little devil, you are too arrogant!"
"That's right, who are you looking down on at such a young age?"
Seventeen people were staring at him covetously. Even the good-tempered Liu Yunsong couldn't help but get angry. He looked at Simu coldly, his tone gradually colder, "If you have the strength, use it. If you have the guts, come and fight me!"
Four eyes:…
What does it have to do with me
I mean, you guys are too arrogant here, I'm begging for a beating.
He glanced at Russell, who couldn't help but touch his nose. It was too arrogant. How could he not agree to such a request
"Beat them! Beat them to death!"
The eighteen heroes of the Liu family showed ferocious smiles on their faces. They were going to teach this guest who came from afar a good lesson!
The eighteen heroes shook their arms and instantly activated the poisonous insects connected to their heart meridians. It was as if they were possessed by the Vajra Indestructible Magical Power, and their bodies radiated a strange light.
They laughed, they rushed, they waved their fists in anger.
“Bang!”
There were dull sounds and the crisp sound of broken bones. One figure after another was thrown directly into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a clang, leaving behind human-shaped holes.
The elders sitting in front of the incense table suddenly widened their eyes, and even the head of the Liu family had a strange look in his eyes.
The crowd watching couldn't help but open their mouths wide, looking at the sturdy man standing silently in the courtyard, and then looked at each other in confusion.
One of them lowered his head in panic, with a sad face and a trembling voice, "Brother, we might really have to eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were just chatting and bragging couldn't help but tremble.
What to eat
Looking at the dozens of copper coins at their feet and the girl staring at them hungrily, they felt like crying but had no tears.
Liu family, I suspect that you are fighting dirty just to make me eat shit!
Damn!
