Chapter 206: 206 Tushan Jiu Teaches, They Learn

206 Tushan Jiu Teaches, They Learn

Tushan Jiu and a few others, after finishing breakfast, set out for Spring White Mountain.

Spring White Mountain is where the dragon vein lies, and there are also some spiritual energies present, so the probability of animals and plants developing spiritual intelligence here is much higher than elsewhere.

There is an area on the mountain that is sealed off.

There is a barrier there, and living inside are the demon immortals who cultivate on Spring White Mountain.

The reason they are called immortals is because in the northeast there is a belief that is shamanism.

They advocate equality of all beings, animals have spirits; as long as one wholeheartedly seeks goodness, when their cultivation reaches great accomplishment, they can attain the Dao and become immortals, so they form their own school.

Actually, Bai Yu's family's ancestral home originally was here, but due to changes of the times and family reasons, they finally chose to move to Yi Market.

The office here in Spring Market is configured on the scale of a first-tier city; just the field staff number nearly twenty.

Moreover, beneath the Heavenly Pool of Spring White Mountain, there are those three things guarding the 'great gate,' so naturally we cannot be careless.

Going up Spring White Mountain to find the Liu family, this matter must be reported to the local office.

Because that barrier has guards, entry and exit require a pass.

If those inside go out to handle affairs, they also need to report in advance; otherwise, if they could freely come and go from the mountain below, it would become chaotic.

And the immortals living on the mountain are not only the Liu family; there are also the Hu, Huang, Bai, and Hui clans.

They are like ancient tribes, distributed in different positions on the mountain, occupying land as camps.

The Liu family is to the west, near the barrier.

The ancestral hall is in the exact center.

Now in winter, at this time each year, the entire Liu family encampment is utterly quiet.

Of course, there are also a few high-cultivation guardians watching over the Liu family, because there are still disciples down the mountain; if something happens, they won't be left without someone.

But they are basically all in a lazy, drowsy, half-asleep state.

But this year, many of the Liu family are acting contrary to their usual state.

Both those who have taken human form and those who have not, all have gathered together in the ancestral hall.

This is fortunate that no humans have entered; if someone saw this scene, they would surely be frightened to death.

At the same time, the few people standing at the gate of Liu Tianlong's residence were watching Wang Dongqing being lifted by the scruff of the neck by Maomao.

Wang Dongqing's expression was like someone who had eaten bitter melon: 'Can I not go in? I'm scared piapia~'

Maomao tilted her head to look at him, then with a 'pa' sound released her grip, wearing a look of disdain.

Wang Dongqing: '???'

How come when it's her turn to despise him, her reaction is so quick?

Xiang Yichu glanced at Wang Dongqing, then furrowed his brows and said: 'Something major must have happened to the Liu family; the demonic energy is strong within a three-li radius.'

Tushan Jiu nodded, 'Mm, everyone be careful.'

She had previously told them the specifics about that sword she had lent out.

Right now, the spirit medium, besides having ruined her prophecy, likely also took action against the Liu family.

Along the way, many snakes that should have been hibernating have all awakened, and they are holding their bodies high, flicking their tongues rapidly—this is the snakes' attacking state.

Unless something major has happened, it's impossible for even those half-awakened spiritual youngsters to be mobilized.

Xie Shiyu looked up at the plaque above the gate, which in gilt script bore the five large characters 'Liu Tianlong's Residence.'

I can't quite describe the feeling, but seeing that a layer of grayish grime covers it, no matter how you look at it, it feels dirty.

Tushan Jiu saw Xie Shiyu's brows slightly furrowed as he kept staring at the plaque; she also gave it two glances.

Regarding Xie Shiyu's intuition, she trusts him just as he trusts her.

A flash of golden light passed through Tushan Jiu's eyes; indeed, the plaque's back was emanating a dark aura.

This is a curse placed upon it.

Her brows were full of disgust: 'Those spirit mediums like to use curses; it's really quite annoying.'

Maomao clicked her tongue: 'Annoying!'

The originally solemn atmosphere was instantly broken by her.

The few exchanged a smile; Maomao, being straightforward, drew her demon-beating whip and lashed it directly at that plaque.

With a 'pa' sound, it fell down in response.

The nearly hundred-jin plaque was thus rolled down by her, and even a corner was broken off.

Wang Dongqing clicked his tongue: 'I still wanted to draw my sword, Sis Maomao, you really know how to steal the show.'

After saying that, he glanced again at Xiang Yichu, who had retracted the corpse-raising bell.

'Tsk, one or two are all top performers; still, being with the Tushan Dao companions feels easy.'

Wait, something seems off.

Being with her is truly the top performance.

Others compete for scores; she competes for talent!

Wang Dongqing took a deep breath, steeled himself, stepped forward and knocked on the door: 'dong, dongdong, dongdongdong'

'Senior disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, Wang Dongqing, I have come to seek someone.'

Who doesn't know how to give themselves extra drama?

But the next second, a small python sprang from the doorway and flicked its tongue at him; Wang Dongqing's face instantly turned pale.

After swallowing hard, he, desperate to save face, cupped his fists toward the small python: 'We are looking for Liu Tianlong.'

The small python said nothing, merely looking at them.

After a while, it finally made way, indicating they could enter.

Wang Dongqing also didn't stand on ceremony; after saying thanks, he took the lead and stepped inside, trying to stay as far from the small python as possible.

Liu Tianlong is the snake that would be crushed to death by Yang Leiming.

Tushan Jiu had calculated that he had suffered severe injuries because he helped his disciples fight Qiu Xian, and on top of that, after leaving Spring White Mountain, there was hardly any spiritual qi, and it was now winter, their weakest time; all these factors together caused him to be crushed to death by Yang Leiming's car.

Now he has been drawn into karma by the spirit medium, and the death tribulation has not come to pass.

But King Yama wants him dead at the third watch, yet he won't survive past the fifth watch.

Now he clings to life by a single breath.

When Tushan Jiu saw him, she thought that if they had walked any slower, the other party would have breathed their last.

The little python had just brought them to Liu Tianlong's courtyard when the house began to emanate a deathly aura.

She pushed open the door, and Tushan Jiu and the others walked inside.

Liu Tianlong on the bed could no longer maintain his human form, turning back into a three-meter-long black snake that lay straight on the ground, gradually stiffening.

At the moment he saw Tushan Jiu, he felt their qi and stumbled out a few words: 'Ancestral hall... save...'

Liu Tianlong died before he could finish his words.

Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu exchanged a glance.

This is too obvious.

The spirit medium wanted to lead them to the ancestral hall.

But they aren't stupid; why would they go to an ancestral hall?

Their spirit medium seems to have forgotten something.

Tushan Jiu couldn't figure it out, but the three of them have no karma with the spirit medium.

They are all geniuses—Tushan Jiu teaches in the moment, they learn in the moment; even if they can't figure out much, having a bit or two is enough.

Thus, Maomao and Xiang Yichu began prodding around Liu Tianlong's snake corpse.
