The Netherworld Cult Master

Chapter 142 Nether Cult Leader

No one responded.

Li Wuxiang had no choice but to jump out of the tomb again——

Before I jumped into the tomb, I was surrounded by a hillside covered with weeds, but now that I landed, the hillside was still there, but all the tombs on the slope were gone.

However, the surrounding soil slope was no longer an endless wilderness, but turned into a thick fog. When Li Wuxiang withdrew his sight from the fog and turned it back to his body, the slope had disappeared - he was surrounded by such a gray fog, and he couldn't tell whether the sky was cloudy or sunny, and he couldn't even tell what he was doing right now. Whether standing on the ground or hanging in the air.

Until I heard the sound of Mei Zhangjian again: "Li Wuxiang, come here."

The sound was like a thread that suddenly pulled down his fluttering kite. Only then did he feel down to earth and saw the Plum Palm Sword in the fog.

She was standing two or three steps away from her, with someone beside her. It was a man, wearing a green sermon robe and a Taoist bun. He has a Chinese-character face, distinctive eyebrows, and only a wisp of beard on his chin. He was tall, looking at himself with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, and looked very powerful.

Mei Zhangjian laughed: "Are you shocked? This is Youjiuyuan. It was like this the first time, but it will be better the next time - it's almost the same as in Lingshan. It takes a thought to stand firm."

Then he turned to look at the man next to him: "Senior Brother Jiang, did you come here specifically to pick him up?"

The person she can call "senior brother" should be Jiang Jie, the leader of Taiyi.

Li Wuxiang raised his hand and wanted to pay him a visit, but heard Jiang Jie say: "It's true that I am special, but it's not just to pick him up, but to pick you up."

He glanced at Li Wuxiang, then turned to look at Mei Zhangjian: "I want to see if he can enter the Netherworld."

Mei Zhangjian frowned: "I brought him here, do you still want to see him? Is it because my Zhangjian can't speak anymore?"

Jiang Jie snorted: "Mei Qiulu, you take this junior brother of yours and make trouble in Coffin City together. I don't care. Can you do it? Tell me about the disciples of your lineage, what's going on with Lou He?" Zeng Jianqiu seems to be a swordsman, but his cultivation has been ruined by your junior brother?"

He glanced at Li Wuxiang again: "——Our eleventh Golden Core Swordsman, is he a human?"

Mei Zhangjian's eyebrows have always been gentle, and he often couldn't help but smile. But this time he slowly opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Jie: "Is this a curse or are you really asking?"

Jiang Jie looked at her for a moment, then looked away: "Why am I scolding someone?"

Mei Zhangjian moved a step to the side and stood in front of him, still staring at him: "Oh, is Master Cui a human?"

Jiang Jie cleared his throat: "I didn't say not to let him enter Youjiu Abyss. I just wanted to ask him a few questions first. Besides, I haven't asked you about you yet. You killed two more members of the True Form Sect. City Lord?"

"I was repaying Helian's debt. If you don't stand up for someone from your lineage, will your death be in vain?"

Jiang Jie sighed: "Okay, you can go back, I won't tell you. I'll ask him a few words first."

Mei Zhangjian looked at him for a while before nodding, and then looked at Li Wuxiang: "This is Leader Jiang. Then you should have a few words with Leader Jiang. Leader Jiang is mature and prudent. Don't say anything weird to make people angry." Not happy."

Jiang Jie only had time to say the word "you" before Mei Zhang Jian suddenly raised his hand, as if opening something, and disappeared into the thick fog.

At this time, Li Wuxiang raised his hand, bowed, and said sincerely: "Disciple Li Wuxiang, I would like to pay my respects to the leader of Donghuang Taiyi."

Jiang Jie stood in the mist with his hands behind his back, looked at Li Wuxiang, and said after a while: "You don't need to be so respectful. How long have you been outside with Mei Qiulu?"

Mei Zhangjian had been vaccinated before - swordsmen are all open and aboveboard. Li Wuxiang also knows that being disliked by an upright person may be more uncomfortable than being disliked by a villain.

It's just that I didn't expect it to reach this point - it seems that before stepping into the door of Youjiuyuan, the leader will personally give him a showdown.

If it were an ordinary sect, he might have thought of leaving at this time. But since he is a sword sect and knows the general temperament of these people, he feels that he can endure it.

So he smiled: "Senior Sister Mei rescued me outside Coffin City, and we stayed together for about six or seven days."

Jiang Jie nodded: "Six or seven days, okay, then she should have told you everything, and she also said she was very dissatisfied with me, right?"

No... why do you, the first master and the second master, come over and ask me, a newcomer like me, if you don't want to deal with them? Although he had already made preparations in his mind, Li Wuxiang still felt that this question was a bit outrageous - when he was in the world of the world, Mei Zhangjian told him a lot of things about the sect, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. At that time, he had a lot of personality as Mei Zhangjian, and he was considered his nominal master, so it was not surprising.

But Jiang Jie is the leader of a religion, and he comes here to ask himself these questions?

This was the first time he encountered an organization with this kind of style, and he really couldn't figure out how to get along with Jiang Jie. Do you want to show the "true temperament" of the swordsman?

But he himself is not a "true temperament" person. You can pretend this kind of thing for a while, but you can't pretend it forever.

So he still said politely: "Yes. But after listening to what the leader and senior sister just said, I feel that the relationship is very good."

Jiang Jie frowned: "A good relationship is a good relationship, right and wrong is another matter. Don't bring bad habits from elsewhere here. Let me ask you, what do you think of what she said?"

Li Wuxiang felt unhappy. But before expressing his displeasure, he still held back and asked one more question: "Senior Brother Jiang, when other disciples come to Youjiuyuan, will you stop here to ask questions?"

Jiang Jie looked at him and then said: "Some people can. In case someone doesn't recognize people clearly. Do you think I'm making things difficult for you? According to other people's opinions, so be it. You have formed an elixir. If it were anyone else, you would be in trouble in the sect. You should be a sword master and wield a sword. You are from Mei Qiulu's lineage, and if your thoughts are similar to hers, then don't think about it. I can only allow you to be an ordinary disciple in the sect. If you feel that you can't stand it, I feel guilty. Resentful, just go back now."

Li Wu has always had a very good impression of the swordsman, until now.

So he looked around, wondering if he really wanted to go back and become an outer disciple like Mei Zhangjian said - so far, Jiang Jie's behavior has gradually exceeded the limit of what he can tolerate. . He seems to be quite mean and not very broad-minded. If you get along with this kind of person for a long time, you will probably be extremely uncomfortable in the future.

Then, just as he had this resentment in his heart, another thought suddenly came to his mind: he wanted to see what was in the surrounding fog.

As soon as this idea appeared in my mind, it immediately took root, like a rapidly growing seed.

Then Li Wuxiang suddenly felt that the surrounding fog suddenly became very light, so light that he could slightly see something in the fog -

It turns out that what's around is not mist...but people.

Many people, with dull and gray faces and tattered clothes, were wandering in the gray mist in layers. It was impossible to tell how many there were at a glance.

These people were all looking in the direction of You Jiuyuan, as if they wanted to break in, but because there was an invisible barrier around them, they could only stay in place and keep walking, take a breath and then change directions. It is filled in by the people around and behind.

And now he could also see the land beneath these people's feet. In fact, it doesn't look like land, but looks like extremely smooth strands of something that extends deeper into the mist. His eyes and mind couldn't help but grasp those things, and then extended them into the distance, where there was——

"Come back! Don't look!" A shout suddenly brought his consciousness back. Li Wuxiang suddenly fell into a trance, and everything in front of him turned into a thick fog again.

Jiang Jie was raising his hand, and the light from his fingertips illuminated Li Wuxiang's chest and face. Seeing that he had come to his senses, he took another step forward and stood in front of him: "What you see is the underworld, and those are the souls of the dead! Don't look, keep your mind! Be careful you fall in! Let me ask you a few words, are you so resentful? Then you are really not suitable to stay in Youjiuyuan!"

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Jiang Jie seemed to dislike himself very much, and seemed to really don't want him to enter the Netherworld. But just now he seemed to have fallen into what he considered a very dangerous situation, but he pulled himself back without hesitation.

So Li Wuxiang thought for a while and sighed: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang. Senior Brother, I just..."

"Don't ask too many questions. It's not a good thing for you to know. Didn't your senior sister tell you? Youjiuyuan is between the Netherworld and Lingshan. What should you do in Lingshan? You shouldn't think about it, and you shouldn't look at it. See, it’s the same here!”

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Jie frowned and looked at him: "Then answer what I just asked you!"

Li Wuxiang thought for a while and said, "Senior Sister Mei told me a lot of things. With her and the swordsmen's temperament, I don't think there is any exaggeration or fraud. Based on what she knows, what she said , it should all be true, I think she is right.”

Jiang Jie looked at him for a while and nodded: "Well, okay. Then you will--"

"But I'm wondering if there might be something she doesn't know. When we were in Coffin Mountain, Senior Brother Lou also said a lot of things to me, which were similar to Senior Sister Mei's views. At that time, I told Senior Brother Lou that maybe there were some It’s something he doesn’t know.”

Li Wuxiang paused and looked at Jiang Jie: "Senior Brother Jiang, in the past eight hundred years—"

Jiang Jie was stunned for a moment: "What?"

It seems that this poem does not exist in this world. So Li Wuxiang said softly: "I just remembered a poem. In the past eight hundred autumns of Dedao, he has never killed anyone with a flying sword. The Jade Emperor has not yet received the heavenly talisman, and his goods are black and gold."

Jiang Jie was stunned and silent for a while.

After a while, he frowned again: "Did you write this poem?"

"yes."

"This poem is quite good." He looked at Li Wuxiang carefully again, "But as I said before, after coming to Youjiuyuan, don't bring in some habits from other places - you are flattering me. ”

Then he said: "You are not a human being. I think you are a green bag fairy?"

"Um."

"Qingnangxian, if you live for a long time, many people's habits will gradually disappear. Then it's not a bad idea for you to come to Youjiuyuan." Jiang Jie thought for a while, "But the sword master, the sword master, you It’s better not to think about it. This is not a personal grudge. Mei Qiulu may not like what you do outside, but it doesn’t matter whether I like it or not. What you do is still a credit to Taiyi Sect.”

"You can try to be a sword bearer. However, I don't have the final say in holding the sword, but I have to teach everyone here to see your character. Mei Qiulu asked Lou He to be a sword bearer before, but now he stays in Coffin city. You are of her lineage, I think it will be difficult for you. "

Li Wuxiang smiled: "Senior Sister Mei outside asked me first if I wanted to come to Youjiuyuan. At that time, I also asked her first whether there was any power struggle in the sect. She said that it was not the case, so I came. So Senior Brother Jiang, I don't care whether I can be the Sword Master or not."

"However, if I can't do it because others have a bad opinion of me, then I think I have to do it."

Jiang Jie didn't say anything.

Li Wuxiang said: "Then can I go to Youjiuyuan now?"

Jiang Jie remained silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Don't you want to know what you may have seen just now?"

Li Wuxiang was stunned, and then an idea came to his mind-

Jiang Jiaozhu's attitude towards him seemed to have suddenly improved. I don't know if it was because of the poems he recited. But if it was... How pitiful is Jiang Jie?

What he said just now was sincere. Mei Zhangjian's dissatisfaction with Jiang Jie all stemmed from the things she knew. But she also said that there were some things that only the leader could know.

Since he can be the leader of Taiyi Sect, he should not be a coward. Mei Zhangjian should think so too, so she only expressed her dissatisfaction verbally instead of going against him.

It was the four lines of poetry that he just read that made Jiang Jie feel that he could really understand him?

No, among the hundred people of Jianzong, is there not a single person who can say something nice? Then this leader is really boring.

He said: "This... Brother Jiang, didn't you say that I'd better not know?"

"Anyway, you will know sooner or later. I might as well let you take a look, so that you won't be curious in the future and make things more difficult."

Without waiting for Li Wuxiang to speak, he stretched out his hand and touched his chest: "Look, look up. But remember, without me or Mei Qiulu to protect you, you are not allowed to look up again in the future."

Li Wuxiang raised his head.

The moment he thought of what was on top of him, the thick gray fog dissipated again, and then he saw an extremely huge face in the deep void!

That face should be very high and far away. If there was a sky here, it should be as high as the clouds in the sky!

But even at such a long distance, that face covered almost the entire space above.

It was not a human face... but an oval, pale white, without ears, nose, mouth, eyebrows, or hair, and all were long and thin blood-red huge eyes, like criss-crossing wounds, overlooking the bottom.

Li Wuxiang only glanced at the eyes, and felt that his heart was dead, and he no longer had any life ideas, as if he had become a dead thing!

However, at this moment, his chest felt warm, and his mind was slightly relieved. He was able to move his eyes with difficulty, and then the gray fog gradually dissipated, and he saw something else -

There was no torso. Below the neck of the face was a broken body, like countless thin and deformed arms, or like many organs left after the torso was broken. They extended in all directions, some of which extended to where he was standing at this moment, turning into thinner strands - the ghosts outside that he had just seen should be standing on these things.

This thing... seemed to be curled up, like an extremely huge, broken baby, hugging him.

Li Wuxiang tried to take a closer look with difficulty, and found that there seemed to be large patches of dense holes on its pale and gray body, as if they were rotten. In the holes, maggot-like things were wriggling and wandering... But they were not insects, but countless ghosts!

And... there are many dark red, scar-like things on it, and there are also many maggot-like things wriggling and rolling inside, just like--

"Youjiuyuan is between the Netherworld and the Holy Mountain."

Li Wuxiang heard Jiang Jie's voice in his ear, vaguely.

"What you see now is the dead souls in the Netherworld. Those dark red ones are part of the Holy Mountain-the part of the Holy Mountain that you can understand with your current cultivation."

"Besides these, what else did you see?"

A few words almost blurted out. But Li Wuxiang's slightly confused mind suddenly realized that Jiang Jie only mentioned "dead souls" and "part of the Holy Mountain", but did not mention the most shocking and terrifying, the huge thing.

That thing...shouldn't I see it now?

Mei Zhangjian and Jiang Jiaozhu both know that he is a Qingnang Immortal, this is no longer a secret. But he has another secret-Donghuang Taiyi.

Is it because of Taiyi that I can see it?

So he suppressed the thoughts in his mind and spoke with difficulty: "There is still... I feel like there is something else... I can't see it clearly..."

"Then let's talk about it later."

Li Wuxiang's mind was suddenly pulled back, and the gray fog quickly submerged everything in his vision. The dead silence and despair were slowly and bit by bit squeezed out of his heart.

He stood there in a daze, and finally felt a little life in his heart again, and then he asked: "Brother Jiang, what else? What else can I see?"

Jiang Jie retracted his hand and looked up: "The Netherworld Earth Mother. That is, the Netherworld Sect Leader of the Netherworld Dao."

"Or you can say, Taiyi's remains."

Li Wuxiang opened his mouth: "You... Brother Jiang, are you saying that the Netherworld Earth Mother is Donghuang Taiyi!?"

Jiang Jie actually smiled at him, but the smile was fleeting: "No. Didn't you say that there might be some things that only I know? Then wait. If you can become the leader in the future, you will know what is going on. Don't tell this to anyone else."
