Chapter 48: Wangchun Mountain, Green Dragon Cave

"Then you just fight endlessly like this?"

Cheng Yunqi didn't quite understand.

"That's naturally not the case."

Hu Jinliu shook his head, "Let me think, hmm, it happens about every ten years or so, and every sixty years there must be a real fight. As for the usual death and injury of a hundred or so people, that's very common and doesn't count. I say, Brother, you came at an unfortunate time. The last fight involving over a hundred villages hadn't happened when I was born. Now that we've encountered it, it definitely won't end well."

Cheng Yunqi gasped upon hearing this. This kind of hatred had already melted into their bones and blood.

"It's not that I'm trying to clear anything up, but to be honest, most of these wars are initiated by Hundred Barbarian Mountain. We are also forced to fight. How can we just take the anger and lose face for nothing?"

Hu Jinliu added.

"Oh? And why is that?"

Cheng Yunqi also immediately pursued the question.

"There are really many ways in this. Brother, listen to me slowly. First, they always boast that they are the leader of the Southern Demon Sect. A leader, you know, if he doesn't show off his power when he has nothing to do, who will still obey him? Don't you think so?"

Cheng Yunqi nodded.

"Every time this Hundred Barbarian Mountain goes crazy, it's not just them going crazy; they also pull in a bunch of people. Sometimes the Northern Demon Sect even secretly sends people down to help. And these lunatics don't just fight with us side-doors; they fight with everyone, Daoists, Zen sects, you name it. That's why I just told you that going to the Green Dragon Cave won't give you peace."

"Secondly, I heard that the old thief is sick again. Both of our families cultivate the Asura path, hehe, and there is also news that early on, our ancestor and the Green-Robed Old Thief went into the ancient Asura path secret treasury together, and they became mortal enemies because of the uneven distribution of spoils."

"However, judging from the results, our ancestor got the benefits. This method is painful to cultivate, but it doesn't hurt the vitality, and the power is great. The cultivation on the Hundred Barbarian Mountain side is painful, and it's all methods of hurting the enemy by eight hundred and damaging oneself by one thousand, or even perishing together. But they were wrong from the root, so it's no wonder."

"I heard from people in the sect that the Green-Robed Old Thief has a big heart and insists on refining some Asura Blood Flame, but it went wrong and damaged his Dao foundation, leaving a disease root. It flares up from time to time. Once it flares up, the blood flame will burn out of his body, and even the black dragon blood can't suppress it; it must have human blood to suppress it!"

Hu Jinliu spoke vividly.

Cheng Yunqi echoed, "So the Green-Robed Old Thief deliberately provoked the war, causing a situation of blood flowing like a river, and he is using this blood Qi to suppress the blood flame?"

"Exactly!" Hu Jinliu clapped his hands, "Brother is really smart. But the Green-Robed Old Thief is even more ruthless! He lets all the disciples under Hundred Barbarian Mountain cultivate the method that can operate the Asura Blood Flame, and then divides the blood flame on his body to each of them!"

"Heh, it sounds good, Self-Sacrifice Technique, some kind of killing treasure technique. Yes, on a daily basis, as long as these people self-mutilate, they can summon the blood flame planted in their flesh to kill the enemy, and the power is great. It is also a means of perishing together at the last moment. But in reality, controlling that kind of powerful magic that exceeds one's realm is addictive! If you don't believe me, Brother, pay attention later. Which one of Hundred Barbarian Mountain isn't missing arms or legs? These are all eaten by themselves! And as long as they die, this blood flame will suck dry all the essence and blood on their flesh and fly back to the Green-Robed Old Thief's hand, helping his demon power reach completion!"

Hu Jinliu curled his lips and said with disdain.

Cheng Yunqi was also very surprised to hear this. This is the Demon Sect? Truly acting without any taboos, like a human but not a human.

————

The three people and one dog spent a night in the mountain cave and were about to leave the next day.

The place where the three are now is exactly the junction of the Miao border and the Southern Wilderness, in the Three-River Gorge area.

Three-River Gorge is also the source of the Taohuajiang. Of course, you can't see peach blossoms here. You have to wait for the Taohuajiang to flow southeast, flow past Rotten Taoshan, and wait for the peach blossoms on Rotten Taoshan to fall into the river. At this time, the Taohuajiang carries a river surface of peach blossoms and rushes into the Southern Wilderness.

Every spring when the peach blossoms bloom, a river of peach blossoms entering the Southern Wilderness is the most beautiful scenery.

The sphere of influence of Red Wood Ridge is in the northwest direction of Three-River Gorge. The Rongjiang Village where Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu are located is on the periphery of Red Wood Ridge, which is relatively close to Three-River Gorge.

And the Green Dragon Cave is closer to Three-River Gorge, going straight north for about a hundred miles, and like Red Wood Ridge, it is a sect facing the Southern Wilderness Demon Sect.

Now Cheng Yunqi wants to register at the Green Dragon Cave. If there is any order arrow to slay demons and eliminate monsters, he naturally wants to take it. Having a local Daoist force as a backing and ears is much better than acting alone. After all, if he runs around blindly, if a great demon suddenly comes to an area, he wouldn't even know how he died.

The uncle and nephew, Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu, wanted to return to Rongjiang Village to recuperate. Obviously, they could go home by going straight southwest, but they insisted on sending Cheng Yunqi to the Green Dragon Cave and then turning back to the village. Cheng Yunqi couldn't refuse, so they went together.

At this time, it was still snowing. The snowflakes were smaller, but the ground was already covered in silver.

"Damn old thief, freezing people to death!"

Hu Jinliu was muttering again.

Cheng Yunqi also remembered what he heard when eavesdropping, so he asked, "I heard Brother say that this snow was summoned by the Green-Robed Old Thief. Why is that?"

Hu Jinliu spat, "Damn old thief, his whole family cultivates blood flames, and they haven't cultivated it to perfection, so they can't operate it freely. It burns the heart and heats the blood, so naturally, they need to cool down. And the Asura method, fire method, and wood method cultivated by our Red Wood Ridge people are all afraid of the cold. When this snow falls, the operation of the magic power in our bodies will be much slower!"

Cheng Yunqi nodded. So that's how it was.

However, Bai Long'er was not afraid of the cold and was full of energy, frolicking in the snow.

"Truly a good dog. The family that saved your life sent you the Dog King!"

Lang Shanliu said.

Cheng Yunqi also nodded with a smile, "That day, it was the dog that discovered you first."

"What is this Bai Long'er's name?"

Hu Jinliu also asked.

"Wait."

Upon hearing this, Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu immediately became alert, "What's the matter? Where is someone?"

Cheng Yunqi was stunned upon seeing this, and soon reacted that it was a misunderstanding. He explained: "The dog's name is 'Wait'."

The uncle and nephew were stunned upon hearing this, and Hu Jinliu even said bluntly, "What kind of name is that?"

Cheng Yunqi couldn't laugh or cry, "When I first took this dog away from the village, the dog was active and ran fast, always leaving me far behind, so I always shouted for him to wait. As time went on, he thought his name was Wait, and he couldn't change it."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other upon hearing this, and then burst into laughter, calling Wait, Wait, and teasing the white dog.

The two also taught Cheng Yunqi many ways to raise dogs, saying that Bai Long'er was extremely spiritual, and by the time it was three years old, it would basically understand everything people said.

The few people had strong footwork. Although they didn't fly, they arrived quickly after traveling in the mountains for most of the day. Because they were going back, they didn't meet any demon sect people along the way, and they arrived near the Green Dragon Cave very smoothly.

This was a piece of flat land in the mountains, and in the middle of the flat land, another mountain head rose, like a big bronze bell standing on the ground. It looked like a place of excellent Feng Shui.

Hu Jinliu pointed to the mountain head and said: "That is Wangchun Mountain, and on top of the mountain is the Green Dragon Cave." ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
