Chapter 144 Chaos
In the early morning, Su Tang and Xi Xiaoru cleaned up and walked out of the room. They saw the old servant surnamed Zhong coming towards him. Xi Xiaoru, who had already sorted out her mood, immediately turned red with a flushing face. She nodded in panic, said dawn, and slipped away as if she ran away.
Niu Zhenhai has already eaten breakfast in the private room and asked for a jar of wine. In his words, he drank too much yesterday, so he had to use wine in the morning, otherwise it would hurt his body.
Xi Xiaoru is not blindly rude, she seems very quiet in front of Niu Zhenhai. Niu Zhenhai's identity is there and she has a friendship with Su Tang. In addition, she has helped a lot this time, no matter from any aspect, she must be more well-behaved.
However, Niu Zhenhai still has important things. He only stayed in Hongye City for three days before leaving. Before leaving, he specially called Su Tang aside and explained some things.
On the fourth day, news of Beiquan came that the Hu family was suddenly attacked by mysterious people and built along the mountain. The century-old ancestral house covering most of the hillside was burned clean by a fire, and the treasure pavilion was looted. The wealth accumulated over the years was either burned or plundered.
What made the Hu family even more crazy was that the group of mysterious people even laid a strange poison in the mountains and fields. The masters of the Hu family knew that the old house was attacked and rushed back at night, without any precautions. Many people were trapped. The masters of the master could hold on, but others could not do it. Moreover, the poison was more like a disease. After being poisoned, the fever did not subside, the cough of blood, dark spots appeared on their bodies, and they died one by one.
When the news came, the Xi family felt very happy, but Xi Yuran seemed worried. The Hu family, which suffered heavy losses, was likely to go to two extremes. One was to endure humiliation and not cause trouble, and to do business again in order to make a comeback. The other was to completely become an unscrupulous mad dog, bite whoever he caught, and the Xi family was the most likely to be bitten.
Two more days later, Luo Yingzu returned to Hongye City. At that time, she said she would be able to come back the next morning. Unexpectedly, she had been so tired and seemed worried.
After chatting with Xi Xiaoru for a while, Luo Yingzu found an excuse to help Xi Xiaoru away, but left Su Tang behind.
Su Tang had just met Baolan and said that Yue Shiyi and Chu Zongbao were both back. He had come to the hotel to find Yue Shiyi. When Luo Yingzu seemed to have something to say, he calmed down and sat quietly aside.
"I thought you had started to retreat." Luo Yingzu said slowly while drinking tea.
"Let's go with the flow." Su Tang smiled, and then brewed a cup of tea for Luo Yingzu.
"It's better to go with the flow." Luo Yingzu also smiled: "It seems... you are more inclined to enlighten the truth."
The strong people who are up to the master will have two ways of practicing, one is called gradual cultivation, and the other is called sudden enlightenment. There are worlds of difference between the two ways of practicing. Practitioners who are gradually practicing practices are talking about hard work. As long as they have deep skills, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. However, practitioners who are suddenly enlightened will be somewhat unwilling to do their jobs, either indulging in the mood or traveling around the mountains and rivers. Only then will they have no leisure to grind iron pestle. However, once practitioners who are suddenly enlightened will gain insights through experience, they will move forward a thousand miles a day, and after reaching the limit, they will slow down and then reenact themselves.
There is no way to evaluate that kind of practice method is stronger. The practitioners who gradually practice Taoism are like mountains, strong, steady, solid, and step by step; the practitioners who suddenly realize Taoism are like the sea, capricious, sometimes causing storm waves, sometimes becoming a calm
"Have you ever thought about why?" Luo Yingzu said again.
"I..." Su Downton paused: "I thought about it, but I don't know why."
"It's because you can't calm down, or you have a sense of crisis and think that Hongye City is not safe, so your original heart is resisting seclusion." Luo Yingzu smiled: "Otherwise, with your spiritual power and the effect of Duchen Pills, you should have become a master now, and your spiritual roots are not here."
"Spiritual root?" Su Tang was stunned: "Then where is my spiritual root?"
"In the mountains and water, you can be in any corner of the world, but you will never be in a noisy city." Luo Yingzu said softly: "When you first saw you, you exuded a natural breath. I always thought that you were a powerful disciple of the Natural Sect."
Su Tang was a little surprised. Little Budian kept hiding his breath, so he could be sensed in this way? Or... the natural breath that Luo Yingzu mentioned was emitted by Su Tang?
"Great Ancestor, what does spiritual root mean?" Su Tang asked.
"Let me say that, the roots of the eagle are in the sky. Only when flying to the sky can it release all its sharpness; and the roots of the fish are in the water and swim in the water can it appear lively and free." Luo Yingzu smiled and said, "Think about it again, what will happen if you throw the eagle into the water and put the fish in the sky?"
"I understand." Su Tang said respectfully: "Thank you for the advice of the great ancestor." After hearing this, he finally understood vaguely that he could never break through. The reason was not himself, but the surrounding environment. In Hongye City, he was worried that smelling the fragrance would be hurt by the Hu family, and worried that the Demon Gu Sect would be revenge, so he could not devote all his body and mind to his practice.
"Also, you and Ru'er boys and girls are erotic, so you can't help but be greedy for the taste." Luo Yingzu said again.
"I..." Su Tang's face turned red suddenly. Although his skin was much thicker than Xi Xiaoru, he couldn't resist it when an elder talked about such a thing.
"Haha..." Luo Yingzu smiled, then his face became clear and sighed: "And, this Red Leaf City... is a little bad."
"What does the Great Ancestor mean?" Su Tang asked hurriedly.
"The Yinzu has come out of the mountain." Luoyingzu said slowly: "Last time, a master of the Secret Sect helped the Hu family, but he was killed near Beifeng City. This time, Yinzu's biological daughter Zhao Xiaoman died tragically during the training process again, and the old hatred Weixue was filled with new hatred. The natural sect was very annoyed."
"Grand Ancestor, Zhao Xiaoman's death has nothing to do with Hongye City, right?" Su Tang said suspiciously: "I remember telling you that the body of the Green Sea Guard was not found?"
"The body was found, and I and the Yinzu have also seen it." Luo Yingzu was silent for a moment and sighed: "If everyone in this world was reasonable, how could there be countless disputes?! I didn't say anything but a long sentence, so I came back early."
"Grand Ancestor, what did the Yin Ancestor say?" Su Tang asked. He could feel that Luo Yingzu was extremely angry.
"What did she say?" Luo Yingzu sneered and said, "She said why did her daughter die but Ru'er survive. If she dies, she will die together."
"Isn't this a nonsense?" Su Tang said angrily: "It was the Demon Gu Sect's people who killed her daughter. Why are they staring at Xiaoru? She has the ability to settle the score with the Demon Gu Sect's people?!"
"Yin Zu has always been vengeful and stubborn. This time he lost his only daughter..." Luo Yingzu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I'm afraid he will do something crazy."
"Da Zu, are you saying that she will be unfavorable to Hongye City?"
"The incident has not happened yet, no one can say it." Luo Yingzu said: "The Nunzu of Pengshan Holy Sect is here, he is a member of the Yuan family. This time the Yuan family also sent their core children to come here for training, and it seems to be called..."
"Yuan Yuan?"
"Yes, it's just called Yuan Yan." Luo Yingzu nodded: "Nan Zu was originally sad about Yuan Yan's death, but the Yinzu actually talked nonsense in front of him. Her daughter was dead, so I wish everyone in the world could be buried with her daughter."
Su Tang was dumbfounded. There is still such a person in the world? Xi Xiaoru was already too arrogant and was completely unsightly compared to the Hidden Ancestor.
"I am very easy-going by nature and can't stand the Hidden Ancestor." Luo Yingzu smiled bitterly and said, "But... Nan Zu is also a person who is unwilling to give in. They almost started to do something on the spot and made a big joke. If the people from the Demon Gu Sect knew about it, they would definitely laugh."
Su Tang didn't know what to say. He thought that after exposing the conspiracy of the Demon Gu Sect, relying on the strength of the three Heavenly Gate, he would definitely beat the Demon Gu Sect to pieces. At least the Demon Gu Sect will no longer be able to come to seek revenge or pursue the treasure. Now it seems that it is not that easy.
"The Yin Ancestor is the key." Luo Yingzu said: "The Demon Gu Sect has placed its target on her. On the one hand, it has a deep enough understanding of her, and on the other hand, it seems to have mastered her weaknesses, even the Life Sect. In other words, the Demon Gu Sect is confident of killing the Yin Ancestor, so... the Natural Sect will be completely angered."
"Master, did you not remind her?"
"With her temperament, is it useful for my reminder? Maybe, the Demon Gu Sect is lurking beside her, and I will startle the snake if I say it." Luo Yingzu shook his head: "Forget it, this matter is no longer something I can control. This world... seems to be in chaos. This time, the wind is surging, and I don't know how many people will be able to achieve enlightenment and how many people will die."
Su Tang sighed. The plan of the Demon Gu Sect was indeed vicious. He ate the Hu family's character accurately and thought that they would not miss the opportunity. As a result, they took the opportunity to destroy the foundation of the Hu family. The same is true for the Demon Gu Sect. The nature of the Yin Ancestor has been mastered by them. They had long expected that the Yin Ancestor would lose his mind and follow the people's plan.
Moreover, Luoyingzu has revealed that a real conflict will inevitably affect the upper class of the three major heavenly gates. No one can predict the future changes, even Luoyingzu can do nothing, let alone Su Tang.
"Su Tang, I will take Ru'er to the Demon Altar to avoid this vortex." Luo Yingzu whispered: "Where are you? Should you follow us or..."
"I won't go. Since the great ancestor said that my spiritual roots are in the mountains and rivers, I'll walk more and go around more." Su Tang said: "And Xiaoru's identity is a bit special. She is already jealous of the disciples of the Demon Altar. I will follow her and eat yours, drink yours, and use yours, which is not good for Xiaoru."
"You..." Luo Yingzu shook his head and smiled, "But as a man, if he is a little arrogant, let it go."
