The plot of using a borrowed knife to kill someone, both openly and secretly, Wu Ling has used it several times.
Both Er Lao Po and the Jade Foetus Realm are his knives.
If it were not for my parents being alive, and if the Luo family were not far away in the barbarian lands, perhaps Wu Ling would have found my ancestral grave long ago.
Whatever means to deal with him are acceptable, but the only thing that should be considered is the reaction of Sihui Mountain.
Wu Jinluan understands the consequences. His words have already made it clear that everything is irrelevant to me, even if Sihui Mountain discovers it.
For a moment, I was lost in deep contemplation.
Wu Jinluan did not rush, standing respectfully by the side, waiting patiently.
"To return to Sihui Mountain, one must first face the mountain of Chuncu. They will block me. I don't know if they will also intercept and question you all along the way. In terms of numbers, Sihui Mountain is currently weak, and with a certain degree of guilt, they will have a hard time stopping everything." I spoke again.
"Presumably, Luo Daozhang has already thought of a solution. The attitude of the Daojiao Sect, on the surface, can also slightly put pressure on Chuncu Mountain." Wu Jinluan replied.
"Mr. Wu has a piercing mind." I nodded, feeling a hint of admiration for Wu Jinluan.
"I have had many interactions with Mr. Wu, mostly involving violence and calculations. Even if Ma San has three, he always gives me a feeling of profound mystery, making me feel like he is always calculating me."
Besides Lao Gong, Wu Jinluan is the only other person who can talk to me heart-to-heart and discuss important matters.
He is also the only other person, besides Lao Gong, whom I find the smartest and the boldest.
"Let Luo Daozhang say whatever he wants. Whether it's inviting the Sihui Mountain group of true people to come to my Dengxian Hall again, or let me and you go to Sihui Mountain, I have no objections." Wu Jinluan said again.
I fell into silence and pondered, the room became quiet again.
"After much thought, let's go to Sihui Mountain," I replied after a long while.
"Yes, I'll need you to do something for me."
"Yes, please command." Wu Jinluan nodded.
"Mao You San, find him out." As I spoke, Wu Jinluan's pupils instantly contracted, and a look of deep apprehension passed through his eyes.
"Many years ago, Mao San's Three Steps hunting Daoist, specifically targeting Daoists and spreading widely in the Yinyang World. Mr. Wu and other senior Daoists all considered him a madman, even entering the wrong path. Common Daoists avoided him at all costs. Senior Daoists, however, did participate in hunting Mao San together with some supervisors of the sect."
"Unknown why, they failed to kill him but gained a promise instead, that he would no longer hunt Daoists and begin to hide and show himself intermittently, spending most of his time in dark places." Wu Jinluan said.
"I nodded slightly. What he knows is Mao San's previous lifestyle."
Mao San is indeed strong, which is why he has such a widespread reputation.
"Mao You San is indeed strong, which is why his reputation has spread so far. Wu Ling was able to hide without a trace only because of his relationship with him and the network of contacts he once had. That's why I mentioned earlier that we need to act on the Bai family's ancestral tomb, because this might be the only way to find Wu Ling. And Mao You San is like a mythical dragon, appearing at the head but not at the tail; finding him would be even more difficult. Wu Jinluan smiled wryly: 'He can't really be said to be either righteous or evil. If he's not pleased, it might involve quite a few people. Let me think of a way.' "
"Mhm." I nodded.
Afterward, Wu Jinluan bowed respectfully and told me to rest well. He said I could inform him of the departure time at any time.
After he left, I lay down on the bed and had a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was still dark outside.
However, outside the room, the lights were on.
As I got up, Lao Gong appeared on my shoulder, looking refreshed and more substantial in spirit than before.
The effect of the zombie pills is indeed very obvious. Lao Gong has been with me for so long, eating so many ghosts, and has reached his current level. According to logic, he needs more ghost souls to nurture him, but just a few days later, he feels like he has undergone a transformation.
"More people have arrived on the mountain, and Shen Xiao has also come down. The two Egg Monks, oh no, Egg Daoists, have met each other." Lao Gong bared his teeth and squinted his eyes with a smile.
I let out a soft sigh and said, "Let's give them a bit of respect, after all, Jinlun Elder has done a great deal this time."
"Oh...... haven't I cursed anyone? They are just egg brothers, Egg Monks are correct, and Egg Daoists are reasonable." Lao Gong's eyes were cunning: "Besides, they are counting on me to help them with their work."
Lao Gong's words held hidden meanings, causing my heart to jolt.
"Poison, is not a residual effect. Do you have a way?" I immediately asked Lao Gong.
"Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem. We'll have to try. We've benefited a lot." Lao Gong seemed serious.
"And didn't you notice a detail, Master? Such a large sect is almost as unknown as the Gaotian Daoist Temple from several years ago. Virtually nobody knows about it," said Lao Gong.
"I nodded. 'I naturally noticed that. Wu Jinluan and the others can't say why.'"
"But, their methods that Lao Gong can solve, their poison that Lao Gong can break. Who cares what hidden sects or doorways they come from? In front of me, they're just nothing. Let's go, Master."
Lao Gong is getting more and more brazen.
Going to the main hall, I indeed saw Jinlun and Shen Xiao sitting together, discussing something.
Before we could have a conversation, Lao Gong jumped off my shoulder and landed on the ground. He waved his hands at Wu Jinluan next to him and said, "Bring their drugs here, Master Lao Gong will add some ingredients. The basic toxins can be solved. If it can't be solved, that's just fate."
Both Jinlun and Shen Xiao were overjoyed and stood up simultaneously.
Wu Jinluan did not dare to delay and immediately instructed someone to go get the medicine.
Happily, Jinlun's medicine was just cooked when the person taking the medicine and the person delivering it almost collided head-on.
Afterward, five medicine bowls were placed on the table, filled with dark, thick medicine broth that had a strong bitter odor permeating the air.
"Let's say this first, whether or not the toxins can be removed, at least one thing is certain: you've benefited a lot. In the future, if there's any good thing happening, don't forget Master Lao Gong."
After Lao Gong emphasized it again, his actions were almost enough to make people feel sick.
He leaned over the medicine bowl, continuously manipulating his mouth, and could even hear the unpleasant sound of grinding teeth. Some powder fell from his mouth and into the medicine bowl.
I suddenly realized that he was using his teeth to scrape off the zombie pills.
A look of pain appeared on Lao Gong's face.
The other gentlemen in the room covered their mouths, and Jinlun and Shen Xiao both furrowed their brows.
After a long time, the five bowls all turned into powder. Lao Gong only straightened up his back and looked with a hint of sadness.
"Look at your expressions. Do you know what this is? It's the essence that I have toiled over. It's being given away cheaply to you guys."
For a moment, Jinlun did not move, and neither did the disciples around him.
"Fine, if you don't want to eat it. Wu Jinluan, this is a bargain for you guys. Once you eat it, you'll know how much benefit it brings." Lao Gong glared at Wu Jinluan with a hint of dissatisfaction.
At this moment, someone stepped out from behind Wu Jinluan, the one who had previously prescribed the medicine, Huajiang.
He crouched on the table, deeply inhaled the medicine bowl, and his eyes showed a hint of shock and intoxication.
"What a rich vitality..."
"But... Master Lao Gong, aren't you a ghost?"
Lao Gong's eyes narrowed, and a more intense purple flashed across them.
